Chapter 205 Script

"You brought the script, didn't you? Wow, it's actually a manuscript. Show it to me first." Su Wei didn't expect that in this day and age, there are still people who don't use electronic files but write scripts by hand.

.

This story happened during the Chenghua period of the Ming Dynasty, in Shanyin County, Jiangnan Prefecture, where a shocking flower-picking robbery occurred.

Originally, if it was just an ordinary flower picking project, it would not have such a big impact.

But this flower-picking thief sneaked into the boudoirs of several women in just one month.

How could this matter be exposed? It was because there was a woman among them, the newly arrived magistrate of Shanyin County, and his unmarried concubine.

Therefore, the magistrate of Shanyin County issued a death order, requiring shopkeepers in Shanyin County to catch the flower picker and punish him within a month, so as to prevent more women from good families from being harmed.

After investigation and visits, the Shanyin County Post Office determined that a total of seven women had been violated by the flower-picking thieves.

At that time, Sima Jing, a hot-blooded police officer, joined the Shanyin County Yamen through selection, ambitiously wanting to flex his muscles and eliminate evil and evil.

He came to the pawnshop in Shanyin County for a quickie. All this stemmed from a secret in his heart, that is, his father also encountered a case of tracking down a flower-picking thief.

His father was a shopkeeper in the county next door to Shanyin County at the time. After tracing the traces of the flower-picking thieves in Shanyin County, they did not notify Shanyin County in order to avoid alerting the enemy. As a result, they had a total of 8 people working in the shop.

All died mysteriously in Shanyin County.

So this time he came to the pawnshop in Shanyin County just to find out the flower picker and avenge his father.

Sima Jing was already investigating secretly before he became a shop owner.

So after he officially took office, he first laid a dragnet, and then used a trick to lure the snake out of the hole, and caught the flower-picking thief who was committing the crime at the scene.

This flower-picking thief is none other than Nangong Jie, the son of Nangong Shourong, the richest businessman in Shanyin County.

Although Sima Jing got all the stolen goods from Nangong Jie, catching Nangong Jie was just the beginning of a series of unsolved cases.

Because soon, the flower-picking theft case happened again, and the murderer's method of committing the crime was exactly the same as Nangong Jie's.

Moreover, the previous flower-picking thieves only stole incense and did not kill anyone.

But today's flower-picking thieves will kill and silence people every time they finish picking flowers.

When the county magistrate was worried about this incident, Nangong Shourong beat the drum to complain, saying that his son was wrongly accused, and then invited friends from Jiangnan Prefecture to reverse the case for his son Nangong Jie.

After all, Nangong Jie is still in jail in Shanyin County. If the flower picker is not Nangong Jie, then who is responsible for this new murder case?

Sima Jing encountered many obstacles during the investigation.

There are not only people from the Shanyin County Yamen, but also various gangs in Shanyin County society and the big shots in Jiangnan Prefecture, who have been making things difficult for him.

The person who hates him the most is Nangong Shourong, who even wants to put him to death.

Fortunately, Sima Jing was able to persevere and continue investigating the case with the help of his fellow detective Wu Neng, the magistrate of Shanyin County and others.

But the truth behind it is even more unbelievable, because the final enemy actually involves the previous magistrate of Shanyin County, who is now the prefect of Jiangnan Prefecture.

Moreover, Sima Jing's father's good friend and now Jiangnan Prefecture official, Tong Junhu, was also involved.

After Su Wei read the script, he found that it was incomplete.

There are many things that are not written in it, such as how the protagonist's father died.

Why do people in Shanyin County help Nangongjie instead of the county magistrate?

And Nangong Jie is in prison, who will commit the subsequent cases? How can the richest man in the county have so much energy?

Between him and the prefect, how are the two of them connected?

Sima Jing's father, the reason for his death, and whether it was the handiwork of Scout Tiger.

As for the prefect of Jiangnan Prefecture, as the largest official in Jiangnan Prefecture, why did the Shanyin County Magistrate dare to risk offending the prefect and persist in pursuing the truth? Is it really because of a concubine?

And whether it is a female pig's trotter or a female character, there is no mention at all in it.

Whether the protagonist finally caught all the prisoners or avenged his father was not mentioned.

Su Wei didn't know if Liu Meng's boyfriend's script had not been finished yet. Or if he planned to retain the suspense of the story to prevent others from getting his story, then directly kick him out and find a new director.

However, although this script was not complete enough, Su Wei found that he liked this script very much after reading this little bit.

Because there is one of his favorite characters in this script, that is Nangong Jie, the flower-picking thief.

Su Wei's previous dream was to make an ancient movie, in which he would be a flower-picking thief who was constantly battling wits and courage with the protagonist.

"Brother Su, what do you think of this script? Isn't it very well written? This script is a plot that our family, Lao Ge, spent several years thinking about. This time he was going to make a movie, and he thought of this script immediately.

"Liu Meng didn't expect that Su Wei would look at it for so long, and even after the food was served, he would still look at it while eating.

This must be because I liked the script and didn't run away from it, otherwise I wouldn't have watched it for so long.

This script was actually found by Ge Xiang on the Internet. After peeling off the skin, he used it as a script to start looking for investment.

But now, even if you look for professional screenwriters, it’s actually pretty much the same. Most of them just use it after peeling off the skin.

The only difference between finding them and not finding them is that if you don't find them, your script will cost nothing, but if you find them, your script will cost a lot of money.

"I really like this script, but this is probably not the complete version. I think there are a lot of plots missing in it, such as the cause of death of the protagonist's father, the hidden identity of the Shanyin County magistrate, and the female pig's feet.

I haven't mentioned it before. Do you have the full version of the script? If so, let me read it." Su Wei must have voted for this movie. He wanted to see the story behind it, which was different from what he wanted to see next.

A big reason why he invested was because of the flower-picking thief Nangong Jie.

If his role is small, then Su Wei plans to change the role because he wants to play the role himself.

"This script is deliberately designed like this, because many investors will want to add characters, so now there are only male pig feet and the main plot in this script. After talking with you investors, we will put it together

You need to add the characters, and then write the characters out." Liu Meng knew the script at that time, which was integrated by Ge Xiang online.

But now facing Su Wei, she definitely can't tell the truth.

After all, which one of today's investors will not add characters to the group after investing money?

Many investors will settle the score. It costs so much money to sleep with a female star, so it is better to cultivate a star yourself and sleep with her.

"Well, what's your budget for this movie? Will it go to theaters or not? How many investors are there? Has the female character been decided?" Since Su Wei wants to invest in this movie, of course he needs to know.

clear.

Looking at their budget, they only plan to make a small-budget movie and then release it on the Internet.

Or, Liu Meng's boyfriend, the movie he wants to make this time is a serious theater movie.

Let’s take a look at how much investment they have found and whether all the female characters have been released.

"The movie we are going to make this time is of course a theatrical movie.

However, if you enter a theater chain, you cannot save on equipment. Our budget is about 15-18 million yuan.

And if we also plan to use male pig feet, we will hire a second- to third-tier male star to bring some popularity to us, so the investment will be relatively high.

Our current film has raised 7 million yuan, and we can only cast a second female lead. That is, we are only 8 million short of it, so our film can be launched immediately." Ge Xiang's film was originally planned

I'm just making a big online movie.

But now that Su Wei is asking if it can be released in theaters, Liu Meng is of course bragging that the movie "My Boyfriend" is going to be released in theaters.

After all, theater movies are definitely more expensive than online movies, but they are also better at attracting investment.

So Liu Mengsheng added an investment of 6 million to 8 million by 10 million and said it was 15 million to 18 million.

In fact, it is not impossible for Ge Xiang's movie to be released in theaters. After all, so many of his classmates and alumni are in the film industry.

Ge Xiang actually planned to raise about 5 million yuan in investment to finish filming the movie because his investment efforts were not going well. After all, he really couldn't find so many bad guys to invest in him.

The quality of the shot at this price must be relatively low. Even if you find someone, it is basically unlikely that it will go to the cinema.

There are also very low-priced movies that have reached theaters, but those directors are actually backed by big companies, or they have worked as assistant directors for big directors before and have their own connections.

In fact, if Ge Xiang can get more than 10 million real investment, then he really has a way to go to theaters.

But it's a pity that Liu Meng and the others have raised a total investment of 2 million yuan so far.

One million of them was the last time they met Su Wei at the Magic City KTV. The investor they met at that time invested 1 million for them and asked for a second female lead.

There was another one million, two advertisers who knew Ge Xiang, and each of them invested 500,000 for him out of shame. However, there was also a requirement, that is, there must be advertisements embedded in the movie.

"After you said that, I am also very interested in this script. Can you let me read it too?" When Liu Meng came, he actually planned to show it to Shumafan.

But at that time, Shu Mafan knew that the movie was a major online movie, so she was not very interested. She didn't even read the script.

After all, she is the host of TV station. If she acts in an online movie, it will actually be a very low price.

But now that we are talking about it, it seems that this script is going to be turned into a theatrical movie, so she is interested.

After all, if it is a theatrical movie, as the host of a TV station, her price will not drop if she acts in it. On the contrary, she may be able to gain some gold for herself.

Although Shu Mafan said she was working as a host in TV station, the competition from TV station was so fierce and the money was not much that she was still renting a house.

She has actually wanted to act in movies for a long time, because acting makes money quickly, but there haven't been many movies coming her way.

"Fanfan, if you are interested, how about you read this script? In fact, I think if you become the female lead, you will definitely become popular. Although the host of TV station looks very high-end, he really doesn't make much money as an actor.

There is a lot of money." Of course Liu Meng knew that Shu Mafan was not interested before, but now he wants to read the script because Su Wei is likely to invest a large amount of money.

As Shu Mafan's best friend, she has nothing to look down on such behavior. After all, if it were her, she would do the same thing.

"I don't invest 8 million in this movie. I plan to invest 18 million. You have to clear out all other investors, and the actors in this movie need to be nominated by me." Su Wei wouldn't do that.

I only invested 8 million. After all, who knows what kind of monsters other investors will come up with.

In today's TV series and movies, the appearance of the leading actors is getting worse and worse.

The male pig's trotter looks like a passerby, and he can play the male lead just like that.

The female protagonists are even more outrageous. Many of them are unattractive-looking, but they choose to play the role of a beautiful woman who is the most beautiful woman in the country. Then when compared with the maid next to her, her appearance is actually beaten by the maid.

Since Su Wei spent money, his casting criteria this time should be good-looking.

Whether it is a male pig's trotter or a female pig's trotter, they must look good.

He remembered the story about the promotion of the Crown Princess which was very popular at the time, even though it cost a lot of money to market it.

But the heroine was indeed right. The heroine really hooked all those LSPs at that time.

"Ah, Brother Su, you want to invest 18 million? Are you going to kick out all other investors? Brother Su, are you sure you're not joking?" Liu Meng didn't expect that Su Wei actually wanted to invest 18 million.

Come in, you are worthy of being a billionaire.

But those previous investors were all brought in by Ge Xiang. She would have to ask Ge Xiang's opinion whether to kick them out or not.

Moreover, she was also afraid that Su Wei would regard this movie as a tool for him to choose a concubine, and then she would not be able to explain to Ge Xiang.

"Of course I'm not joking, it's only less than 20 million. Why do so many people need to come in for such a small investment? Will it affect the progress?

For this casting, I have only one request, that all the roles must be played by handsome men and beautiful women. I think Miss Shu is very suitable to play the female lead in this movie. After all, she is so beautiful, and she is also a Taiwanese actress.

Host "Su Wei" actually had selfish motives in asking Shu Mafan to play the female lead.

Because Su Wei planned to play the role of Nangong Jie himself, a flower-picking thief.

Su Wei's dream has always been to play a flower-picking thief and then become a dragon knight.

If you don't fight with a female pig's feet, how can you be considered a dragon knight?

Even if there is no such paragraph in the script, he has invested so much money in it and changing the scene is not a routine operation.

"Brother Su, please wait a moment. I'm going to call my boyfriend to discuss it. Just wait a moment and I'll be back soon. Fanfan, please entertain Brother Su for me." Liu Meng was sure that Su Wei was not joking, so she immediately

I planned to call Ge Xiang to tell the news.

After all, an investment of 18 million can completely make a theatrical movie.

Then she will be the legitimate director's wife by then.

"Mr. Su, are you sure? I can really play the female lead? But I have no experience at all." Shumafan definitely wants to play the role. After all, the investment in this movie is not very low.

If no big-name actors are hired, the production cost of this movie would be similar to that of a movie worth tens of millions.

By the time she makes this movie, it will be like having half a foot in the film industry.

As long as the filming this time is not too bad, there will definitely be movies coming to your doorstep in the future.

"What, you don't have confidence in yourself? I think you are so beautiful, there must be nothing wrong with you acting in a movie." Su Wei didn't know whether Shu Mafan could act. He asked her to be the female lead just to be in the movie.

In the movie, it was just taking advantage of Schumafan.

After all, he has to play Nangong Jie. This character is a flower-picking thief in the movie.

And since he is the only investor, this movie must be made according to his ideas.

Anyway, this movie only costs 18 million, so it doesn't matter if it loses money, as long as Su Wei is happy.

"Really? If this scene is really filmed, Mr. Su, you must not forget what you said today, otherwise I will be sad." When Shu Mafan spoke, he looked into Su Wei's eyes sincerely.

She was really grateful to Liu Meng for bringing her here today. If she hadn't come here, how would she have known Su Wei.

"What I said must be true to my word. When Liu Meng comes, I will tell her that you will be the female pig's trotter in this movie." Su Wei looked at Shu Mafan and found that she was really beautiful.

No wonder a few years later, she would become so popular after appearing on a Spring Festival Gala. Who could resist this?

"Brother Su, what are you going to tell me? Did you choose Fanfan to be the female pig's trotter? I totally agree with this matter. After all, Fanfan is so beautiful." Liu Meng heard Su from far away.

Wei said that he wanted Shu Mafan to be the female lead.

Just now, Liu Meng went outside to call Ge Xiang. When she explained Su Wei's conditions, Ge Xiang immediately agreed without even thinking about it.

After all, Su Wei invested 18 million, and this money could allow his movie to go to theaters.

This is the first time for Ge Xiang to be a director. He is different from many directors. He originally went for fame, not for some bullshit dream.

So for him, as long as investors give money, you are the father of the movie.

He didn't care whether this movie would become a tool for Su Wei to choose a concubine.

After all, for such a big thing as Dream of Red Mansions, there are only a few occasional comments from netizens.

Did the director of Delay make money? Are the female stars in Delay famous?
