I rely on talking to brush the copy

Chapter 120 Interstellar Filmmaking (3)

Le Jing slept very deeply, and he didn't know how long he slept, but he was suddenly awakened by the ringing of a private communication.

He sat up in a daze, and fumbled under the pillow with both hands, but couldn't find the phone.

Le Jing was stunned for a short time, and his chaotic brain suddenly regained consciousness. He opened the bracelet-shaped terminal tied to his left wrist in a familiar way, clicked it, and a virtual figure was immediately projected into the air.

This is a young boy with brown hair and blue eyes, a high nose and deep eyes. His ancestors should have white blood. After thousands of years of racial integration, pure black hair and black eyes like the original owner are actually rare.

"Shi Jing! Long time no see, what are you doing recently?"

Le Jing quickly learned his identity from the original owner's memory-his college roommate Zhou Jinsen. When they were in school, they slept on the upper and lower bunks, so they have always had a good relationship. It has been two or three years since graduation, and they still contact from time to time.

Le Jing quickly picked up the original owner's personality, smiled bitterly as usual, did not answer, but asked: "What do you want to talk to me about?"

Zhou Jinsen was also used to Shi Jing's depressed look. In his opinion, his roommate was very talented, but too aloof. In order to pursue art, he always made some art films that could not be sold, so he was always depressed and lived a tight life.

After all, they were classmates for many years, and Zhou Jinsen also wanted to help him, so when he had the opportunity this time, he thought of his old classmate.

"It's like this. Am I not working as an assistant director at Tianxing Entertainment? Our crew is still short of an assistant director. The salary is 3,000 yuan during the probation period, and lunch is provided. Do you want to come?"

Le Jing's eyes lit up. Zhou Jinsen's invitation at this time really solved his urgent need. He agreed immediately and asked, "When will you join the crew?"

"I will send you the address at 8 o'clock the day after tomorrow. I will wait for you at the door and take you to see the director."

Le Jing checked the address and found that it was a movie city in the suburbs of S Province. He is now in Y Province, and the two provinces are thousands of kilometers apart. However, if you take a public spaceship, it will only take more than an hour to commute.

"Okay, I know. Thank you so much this time. I'm a little tight on money now. I will definitely treat you to a meal when I get paid!"

"Okay, we are brothers. Don't forget your brothers when you become rich in the future."

Le Jing smiled and exchanged a few words with Zhou Jinsen, then hung up the phone, no longer feeling sleepy.

Tianxing Entertainment, where Zhou Jinsen works, is just a small company. Most of the films he makes are low-budget ones, so the salary is not high. 3,000 star coins is just the minimum wage in China. But being an assistant director is very helpful for learning experience and accumulating connections, so many students would rather not pay to gain experience.

Besides, Le Jing can't even afford to eat now, so he has no right to be picky.

He looked at the time. It was already 6:30 in the afternoon. He slept all day! He will join the crew the day after tomorrow, so he needs to adjust his biological clock as soon as possible.

I don't know if the money from his movie sales during the nearly ten hours he slept will be enough for his meal tomorrow.

He put his right index finger on the terminal, and the fingerprint unlocked the optical brain. After a few seconds, the virtual light screen unfolded like flowing water and floated in the air.

Le Jing opened the Qijiang Video app.

Almost at the same time as he logged into his account, the system prompt sounded:

[Black Cat Knight commented on you. ]

[Black Cat Knight rewarded you 10 star coins. ]

[I want to discuss a 100 star coins deal with you and comment on you. ]

[It was Luo Bao, not Luo Bo, who commented on you. ]

[It was Luo Bao, not Luo Bo, who rewarded you with 1,000 star coins. ]

Le Jing was overwhelmed by these voices, and quickly turned off the voice prompts, and his ears were quiet again.

He first clicked on the income, and then fell silent.

[Today's income: 875 star coins]

Although he had a relatively optimistic premonition when he heard the endless system prompts, his current income was several times more optimistic than he imagined! His previous thoughts were too conservative!

875 star coins a day, then 26,250 star coins a month, 315,000 star coins a year, more than enough to pay off all his debts.

Le Jing is very self-aware of his current situation. He is a small vacuum with more than a hundred fans. Even if everyone subscribes to his videos, the maximum income is more than 200. The current income is obviously abnormal.

So he clicked on the income details to check.

["Little People in the History of Ancient Earth Civilization":

Total income: 875 star coins

Number of subscribers: 300

Total subscription amount: 600 star coins

Author's share of income: 300 star coins

Number of tippers: 10

Total tipping amount: 1150 star coins

Author's share of income: 575 star coins

Tip list: It's Luo Bao, not Luo Bo, tipping you: 1000 star coins

Black Cat Knight tipping you: 10 star coins

……]

Qijiang Video Network adopts a 50-50 income sharing system between the author and the website. Le Jing has to give half of the subscription and tipping money to the website.

On the premise of giving half to the website, he can still earn 875 a day. Although most of it is tipping from local tyrant fans, it still strengthens Le Jing's confidence.

Originally, he had prepared for the worst. If the movie failed, he would write novels, such as "Reborn on Earth: I'm Working on Ancient Technology in 1980" and "I'm a Great Writer in 1937". And he can guarantee that in this era, no one's time travel writing is more authoritative and rigorous than his! After all, he has personally experienced time travel.

Now that the movie has received good response, he can continue to shoot this series of movies.

Le Jing exited the author's backstage and found that his number of fans had also increased slightly, from more than a hundred fans to more than three hundred fans. For him, a failed author with no fame and no promotion, it was already very good to increase more than two hundred fans in less than ten hours.

He clicked on the comment area of ​​the movie again, and there were already dozens of messages below the comment area.

[Black Cat Knight: History will be immortal because of the lives of these historians! ]

[I will always like silicon-based creatures: Woo woo woo, it's too touching. Did such a thing really happen in the Zhou Dynasty in history? 】

【Three-Body Unification World: I don’t know why, but I suddenly remembered that during the three hundred years of darkness of our human race, were there many brave humans like the historian in the video? 】

【Initial account: I was recommended by a classmate, the author is awesome! It’s so wonderful! When will it be updated next time? 】

Le Jing browsed through each message one by one, and finally stopped at the message of the user whose ID is Luo Bao is not Luo Bo. It’s not that the message of this user is particularly wonderful, but because he clearly remembered that it was this rich man who rewarded him with 1,000 star coins.

So he replied to the message of the sponsor very politely: Thank you for the reward, the second episode will be updated at the same time next Saturday, so stay tuned:-D

……

Since leaving a message in the comment section of Old Scenery at noon, Luo Bao has been restless until now.

He feels like he is scratched by a cat, it itches so much.

Although he knows that the author cannot watch the comments 24 hours a day, and it is more likely that the author will not reply to him at all, he still can’t help but glance at the comment section from time to time.

The private communication suddenly vibrated. As soon as Luo Bao answered it, he heard a scream: "Ahhh! I love you so much!!"

Luo Bao quickly turned down the volume and rolled his eyes in annoyance: "Roland, what are you crazy about?"

Roland is his cousin. The two grew up together, so they have always had a good relationship.

Roland screamed: "The video you sent me is so beautiful! Old Scenery is genius! I am so excited that I want to run ten laps downstairs now!"

Luo Bao straightened his chest and said proudly: "That's right, don't you see who took it!" He has now completely forgotten his previous slander of Old Scenery.

Roland retorted: "Why are you so proud? It's not you who took it!"

Luo Bao retorted: "This was taken by my idol, can't I be proud of it?"

If it was in the past, Luo Lan would definitely have a verbal battle with Luo Bao, but now she is not in the mood, and can't wait to ask: "Do you know when the second episode will be updated?"

Speaking of this, Luo Bao was very depressed. He also asked the author this question, but the author has not replied to him.

Could it be that the author thinks 1,000 star coins are too little? Should I add another 1,000 star coins?

Just as he was eager to try, he suddenly heard the system prompt sound he had been waiting for for a long time: the author Old Scenery replied to you.

"Ahhhhhh!!!" Luo Bao's sudden wolf howl scared Roland so much that his body trembled, "Hey, what's wrong with you? What's wrong with you?!"

Roland was in no mood to pay attention to his cousin now, "I won't talk to you anymore! Old Scenery replied to me!"

"What?!"

The only response to Roland was a busy tone, and Luo Bao had hung up the phone.

At this time, Luo Bao's eyes lingered on the screen hungry, not missing a word belonging to Old Scenery, and read it out word by word: "Thank you for the reward, the second episode will be updated at the same time next Saturday, so stay tuned."

Although he was very happy to get a personal reply from the author, he felt a suffocating sadness when he thought that he had to wait a week to see the next episode.

He couldn't help but reply to the author: 'Big brother, can the next episode of "Little People" be longer? Ten minutes is not enough! '

He didn't wait for long this time. After about a minute, he received a new reply: 'Sorry, this is a personal work, and ten minutes is the limit. '

Luo Bao opened his eyes wide. He never thought that "Little People" was made entirely by Jiushi Fengjing alone!

Luo Bao had played video production before, although it was just a hobby, but he knew how much time and energy it would take to make a video alone.

Making a complete video is not just a simple reproduction of the idea, it also requires mature scripts, lens switching, plot editing, dubbing and other aspects of cooperation.

So many video creators on Qijiang Video have a mature production team behind them, which ensures the stable update of the video.

For such an excellent work as "Little People", he always thought that there would be a mature production team behind it, and Jiushi Fengjing played the role of controlling the overall situation as the chief director.

He never thought that this video was made by Jiushi Fengjing alone from the script, lens, dubbing, planning, etc.!

This... this is too...

This is too cool!!

He is indeed a big fan!

Do everything yourself and never give others a chance to make money.

While Luo Bao admired the old scenery even more, he also felt sad that he was so popular.

The scenery is so great. This is the sadness of being a little transparent.

He must help the scenery greatly!

Jingda Da is now helpless and can only rely on him!

Luo Bao made up his mind that he must turn into tap water next and crazily sell his beautiful works to others. By the way, Xingbo has many big Vs who recommend interesting videos, and he can recommend works with great scenery to those big Vs.

He believes that gold will shine sooner or later!

The private communication started to vibrate again. Unsurprisingly, it was a call from Roland. As soon as the call was connected, the scream of Roland's crazy girl came from inside: "I saw it! The old scenery replied to you! You little bitch actually Escape!"

"The Old Time Scenery Fan Group is open for business starting today! Come and join!" Luo Bao shouted enthusiastically: "Let's make Scenery's debut together!"

"...I want to make powder head."

"If you can get ten fans."

"Little Case, just watch."

Le Jing had no idea that because of his reply, his small private fan group had been established. He was currently browsing the interstellar Taobao to buy nutritional supplements for dinner.

Nutritional supplements don’t taste good, but they are convenient and cheap. One bottle only costs two yuan, and you can stay full if you take one with a meal. And he will join the crew next week, and the crew will take care of the food, so he can at least save a month's food expenses.

Although he earned more than 800 today, not to mention that he is still in debt of 200,000, and he still owes Sister Zhang two months' rent!

This month seems to have passed in just one week. Sister Zhang is a good person, but he has no shame in continuing to default on the debt and pay the rent no matter what.

At the beginning of the month, the government would receive a subsistence allowance of 3,000 star coins. After deducting the fixed loan deduction of 1,800 star coins, he would only get 1,200 star coins. The job Zhou Jinsen found for him would not pay him until at least next month, so He will be frugal and frugal for a long time to come.

Fortunately, Lejing is not a person with strong materialistic desires. Although the nutritional supplements taste bad, they are not intolerable.

And he believed that days like this were only temporary, and that soon he wouldn't have to be as careful as he is now.

Lejing got up early on Monday morning and set off at 5:30. It was only 7:30 when he took a public airship and arrived at the People's Film and Television City in S Province.

He waited at the door for a while before Zhou Jinsen came out, a little surprised to see him, "You came so early? Why didn't you call me in advance?"

Le Jing smiled, "I'm afraid you're busy, I'm fine anyway, it won't matter if I wait a while."

Zhou Jinsen hammered his shoulder, "You are just too polite. Have you eaten?"

Le Le nodded and said, "I've eaten."

"Okay, I'll take you to see the director."

On the way, Zhou Jinsen explained the director's specific situation to him.

"The director's surname is Li, and everyone calls him Director Li. Director Li has a serious personality, but he is not a troublemaker. You just have to do your own thing."

Le Jing understood it and nodded to show that he understood. This means that although Director Li is a strong person, he is not pushy. He is very professional. As long as he does not make mistakes, he will not be targeted.

Zhou Jinsen added: "There is only one person, you have to be careful."

"who?"

Zhou Jinsen lowered his voice and said, "Bai Lang, the male lead, brings money to join the group."

Le Jing understood it. Sure enough, no matter what age he was, there were many related households.

Le Jing was mentally prepared to be a grandson when he came over this time. Not to mention being the number one male in the family, he would also keep away from other actors so as not to hurt the harmony.

It's just that if the relationship owner stays safe, it's okay. Once he behaves like a monster, with Director Li's temper, the crew will have fun watching it. Until then, Le Jing only hopes that it will not affect his work.

Thanks to Zhou Jinsen's introduction, Le Jing soon met Director Li on the set. Director Li looks to be in his forties, has bronze skin, and is stern, but for Zhou Jinsen's sake, he is quite friendly to him and speaks relatively straightforwardly.

"I know my salary is low, but the experience you have learned from me cannot be bought with money. As long as you work hard and work hard, I will not treat you badly when the project is completed."

Le Jing naturally heard Director Li's overtone: after the filming is completed, he will give Le Jing another red envelope as a reward for his hard work. As for the amount of the red envelope, it depends on how satisfied he is with Le Jing.

Le Jing naturally expressed his determination, and received Director Li's satisfied nod, with a childish look on his face.

After signing the labor contract and confidentiality contract with Director Li, Le Jing finally got the complete script. After learning what movie Director Li planned to make, he felt speechless and choked.

The script is said to be a story adapted from real history, and the male protagonist is said to be a famous scholar in history.

This was nothing. Coincidentally, he also knew the male protagonist. Not only did he know the male protagonist, but he also knew some of the supporting male and female characters.

The male protagonist's surname is Zhou Dezhang, and he is the principal of Kaiming Middle School. The important supporting actor's surname is Li Jingran, a scholar of the Republic of China, and the object of mourning by the author Zhou Dezhang in the Chinese text "Burial of the Alluring City" from the ancient earth period that was just unearthed from extraterrestrials.

It is said that the director got inspiration from the text "The Burial of the Fallen City" and took a different approach. Instead of filming Li Jingran being buried, he planned to film Zhou Dezhang's life. At the same time, Li Jingran, Li Shuran, Zheng Yiliang and others will appear in the story one after another. So the name of the movie is "Chronicles of Literary Masters of the Republic of China".

It was at this time that Le Jing realized that he had traveled to the future of the time and space where Li Jingran existed.

However, the characters in this movie are destined to be strangers with familiar names.

After seeing that Li Shuran and Zheng Yiliang are a loving couple, and Li Jingran and Zhou Dezhang are openly gay, Le Jing closed the script and got goose bumps all over his body.

Forget it, they are all dead anyway, so let the descendants arrange it as they want. Haven't you seen how many times Emperor Yongzheng was cheated on? If the fourth master knew about it, I'm afraid he can only comfort himself that green is a beautiful landscape, right?

Le Jing, the assistant director, is just a brick in the crew, and he is moved wherever he is needed.

When filming a movie, he is responsible for the on-site board and filling in the script sheet; he has to notify the time of the scene arrangement and when the actors will join the crew; if the props setting does not meet the director's requirements, he is responsible for communicating with the props team. If there are not enough people in the props team, he will do the hard work himself; if there is a problem with the costume, he will notify the director and then contact the person to change...

These are all small things, but they are enough to keep Le Jing busy all day, without even a sip of water, and no time to think about the awkward and ridiculous script plot.

Their crew is not big and the investment is limited, so Director Li pays special attention to reducing costs. A crew of hundreds of people only hired two assistant directors. Le Jing really feels that he is doing hard work at a bargain price.

Director Li probably anticipated this, so he painted a big cake for him at the beginning, hinting that there will be a generous red envelope in the future, so that he can work steadily. This old man looks upright, but I didn't expect him to be so cunning. He is indeed a seasoned man.

That is, he is short of money and has no confidence to resign, otherwise he would have quit long ago.

And it must be said that he has indeed learned a lot here. These are experiences that he will not get from shooting virtual AI movies, which will be very helpful for him to shoot real movies in the future.

In this busy day of work, the only thing that comforted Le Jing a little was the lunch box provided by the crew, which had one meat and three vegetables, rice and soup, and was much better than nutritional supplements. At least during this time in the crew, he can save a meal.

It was already past seven o'clock in the evening when the crew finished work. Today is the preliminary preparation work of the crew, and tomorrow the actors will officially join the crew to shoot. So it can be seen that he will be even busier tomorrow.

When Le Jing returned home, it was already nine o'clock in the evening. He took a bath and lay comfortably on the bed, feeling that every pore in his body was sighing comfortably.

He forced himself to cheer up, turned on the light brain and opened the Qijiang Video app to check his income today. Today's income was 1,500, almost twice as much as the day before yesterday!

If this trend continues, he will probably be able to pay off the rent owed to the landlord Sister Zhang by the end of the month.

When he was about to exit the app, he suddenly received a text message from the system.

He clicked it casually and found that it was a notice about holding a competition.

Qijiang Video Network, together with Apple Entertainment, Ace Entertainment and dozens of well-known Chinese film companies, launched a video production competition. The first prize will not only receive 500,000 star coins, but will also sign a contract with a well-known film company. Not only will it have the opportunity to sell millions of copyrights, but the signing company will also promote the winner's work through all channels.

The theme of the video competition is youth, and there is no time limit. As long as the work meets this theme, it can participate. The submission date is from today to August 1. Participants must submit their works within this month and pass the website review to be considered successful.

Even if it is the third prize, there will be a reward of 100,000 star coins!

Le Jing was immediately moved.

Anyway, there is no harm in trying.

As for the theme of youth... a story almost immediately emerged in his mind.

A story about Fenglangjuxu.

Some people seem to be born to fulfill certain missions.

The author has something to say:

Le Jing, who became the director's assistant today, said: I shoot my own fan fiction:-)

Guess who Fenglangjuxu refers to? I think the clue is already very obvious.
