"[Xiangyun] want to ask the boss to make a drama?"
Xiao Zhou looked surprised, turned his head and asked Han Jue, "How much is the signing fee?"
”"It's not decided yet."
Han Jue said this, reaching out and scratching his hair."
Only 40 million?"
Xiao Zhou's eyes were firmly fixed on the hand where Han Jue was scratching his hair.Han Jue put down his hand and corrected, "Four hundred million." ”"400 million?!
The signing fee alone is 400 million?!
”Xiao Zhou's jaw almost fell to the ground, "This, is this the money to sign a drama or a few years?"
”Han Jue said: "A drama. ”Xiao Zhou had to hold his chin with both hands to keep it from falling to the ground.400 million......
Linlin looked at the transparent liquid slowly flowing from the corner of Xiao Zhou's mouth, moved her position in disgust, and sat farther away.Xiao Zhou wiped the corners of his mouth and asked, "Then boss, do you agree to shoot?"
”Han Jue nodded.400 million Huaxia coins is almost the remuneration for Han Jue to write and direct a "Time and Space Traveler".According to Wang Zhi, there is room for further negotiation of this price.But!
Money is not important to Han Jue, money is not the decisive factor.The reason why Han Jue had the idea that it was not impossible to shoot "Black Mirror" was that he first thought it was interesting.The first time he saw the drama "Black Mirror" in his previous life, Han Jue intuitively felt that the other party was writing for [Apple].Screenwriter Charlie Brooker said in an interview: [the"bckirror"ofthetitleistheoneyou&039; llfdoneverywall,oneverydesk,thepalofeveryhand:theld,shyscreenofatv,aonitor,asartphone] The TV turned off is Black Mirror.The phone that is turned off is a black mirror.The closed flat plate is a black mirror.The development of science and technology has brought convenience to people, but while solving some problems, some new problems will also arise.Technology is a medicine that has an effect, but it also has side effects.And in the gap between comfort and time, "Black Mirror" wants to tell the story inside.It explores the impact of technological development on human society.Han Jue feels that in this world, if [Xiangyun], as a technology giant, produces such a spicy and sharp TV series, it should be quite interesting.When Han Jue talked about "Black Mirror" in the elevator roughly, he didn't expect that there was a middle-aged man in formal clothes with great power, but after listening to a few big story synopses, he fell in love with the script of "Black Mirror" and asked Han Jue to be the director.In the TV drama industry in China, screenwriters usually also take on the work of co-producers, with a very high status and great power.In the opening credits of a TV series, the name of the TV series is always displayed first, then the name of the screenwriter, and then the names of the director and others.When the audience chooses a TV series, they will also pay attention to the resume and strength of the screenwriter first.If a movie is the art of a director, then a TV series is the art of a screenwriter.Screenwriting can be said to be the heart of a TV series.The screenwriter can't do it, no matter how beautiful this TV series is, it can't become popular.The current success story of Han Jue is only one and a half movies, and he has no experience in TV drama production.Spending more than 400 million money to invite such Han Jue, what kind of vision and what kind of courage is this?
In addition to giving Han Jue a heavy appreciation, the people over there also showed him enough sincerity: the money is enough, the production is not involved, the budget is as much as it wants, no problem is a problem, they just want the finished product.If the cooperation goes well, a long-term relationship can be maintained.The [Cloud] platform will have a channel of [Tinder].Han Jue was a little moved at that time, but he was very conflicted.After he was busy with a series of things, he was going to rest after the concert, and if he took over "Black Mirror", then he might not be able to be a waste salted fish in the warm home this winter.So Han Jue told the people on [Xiangyun's] side that he would consider it, and planned to go back and ask Xia Yuan Wang Zhi what they thought.If Xia Yuan and Wang Zhi make other arrangements according to the five-year plan, then Han Jue will not be able to insist on filming "Black Mirror".As a result, as soon as Xia Yuan and Wang Zhi heard these conditions, they directly agreed on the spot.Han Jue asked them why they agreed so quickly.Wang Zhi said: "Is it stupid not to make money if you have money?
Anyway, you haven't figured out what movie to make right now, and I'm going to think you're going to have to worry about it for a few months.Wouldn't it be better to think about what to shoot next while filming a TV series?
”Tut-tut-tut, the faces of the capitalists are undoubtedly exposed.Ugly, ugly.Han Jue went to Xia Yuan's office to ask her again, Xia Yuan was lying on the boss's chair, his index finger pointed at the armrest, and he said with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "The budget given by [Xiangyun] over there is 300 million, which is the most satisfying to me."
Aren't you afraid of losing money, so you don't want to make blockbuster movies?
In this way, what about you, just use this drama to practice your hands, feel the filming methods of rich people, and learn how to be generous, anyway, you won't lose anything in the end. ”Han Jue lamented that this was really a dirty company.Xia Yuan said that the factory logo of [Tinder] had already foreshadowed - the black flame was burning."
It's all the directors who are well directed and have foresight."
The far-sighted Han Jue left the table in shame.Out of Xia Yuan's office, Han Jue ran to find Director Sun, intending to purify his mind and join the pure creator.As a result, Director Sun came up and asked about the follow-up announcement of "Internet Lost", saying that he planned to go to the United States, England, France and other countries to run publicity, and he must sell a good box office.I also asked if women's clothing could increase the box office.Han Jue begged Director Sun not to do this.Finally persuaded people to come down, Han Jue went out and turned left and found Xiao Zhou in the editing room.......
"Boss, can you help me see which version is the best." ”After Xiao Zhou heard the signing fee worth 400 million from Han Jue, although he was so envious that he drooled and was hungry, he still stabilized his mind and focused on the first work in front of him.He understands the importance of being down-to-earth step by step - follow the boss and study hard, and sooner or later he will be able to get paid in hundreds of millions.This short film, called "The Tuner", was filmed by Xiao Zhou for ten days.Xiao Zhou is the second generation director of [Tinder] Miaozi, the company has given great support both openly and secretly, the actor is Jack of "Time and Space Traveler", and the behind-the-scenes team is the team used by the company to make movies.Originally, the whole filming process only took eight days, but Xiao Zhou tried to be perfect, so he made a lot of preparations and took a lot of shots for backup.Now that the filming is in the later stage, the rough cut has cut several versions, and Xiao Zhou has been entangled for a long time before Han Jue appeared, and he didn't know which one to choose, and he felt that which one was very good.Now that Master is here, I ask Master for help."
I don't know which one to use?
Okay, I'll read them all first. ”Han Jue sat on the seat that Xiao Zhou had left out of the way, and looked at Xiao Zhou's works.Xiao Zhou's heart suddenly settled down a lot.When Han Jue watched the short film, Xiao Zhou went out of the editing room to go to the toilet, and then leaned against the wall of the corridor to bask in the sun and take a break.Linlin also came out, stood on the perimeter, and handed over a bottle of water."
Thank you."
Xiao Zhou took a sip of water, and then asked, "How is the film festival?"
”In the ten days that Han Jue participated in the [Magic Capital Film Festival], Xiao Zhou has been making short films except for the premiere of "Dark Web"."
Some movies are good, some are not."
Linlin said.Xiao Zhou nodded calmly.Linlin was silent for a moment, and then said, "There are a few reporters who want to interview you, and some viewers think you acted well.Xiao Chi has been asking me these days, have you secretly taken any acting cram school......"
Xiao Zhou suddenly smiled.That's what he wanted to hear."
What about you?
What does it feel like to be a director?
”Linlin asked Xiao Zhou.Xiao Zhou's smile narrowed a little, picked up the bottle and drank water, and then took a long breath as if he had finished taking a sip of wine, and sighed: "It's difficult, tired, I feel like it's easy to be bald." ”Linlin was puzzled: "I ...... when I watch the boss make movies" "That's the boss is amazing."
I only stayed on the set when I was filming, and I didn't watch much movies, but I was like I was born to be a director, I was pushed to the position of director, and I shot while learning, every instruction was very accurate, very firm, and there was no uncertainty at all, plus the public opinion outside at that time was like that bird, and as a result, the first work was filmed like "Love Traveler......
As for me, I followed the boss and Director Sun to the set for three times, and I prepared for so long, and I happily waited until I started to make movies as a director myself, thinking that I could more or less reach the level of the boss, right?
It was found that ......
Two or three?
”Xiao Zhou sighed: "Alas......
I'm just a short film.When I wait to shoot a long film, I don't know where I'm going to collapse.Ah, when it comes to long-form films, I don't even know if it's possible to make another movie......
In case the boss says that I don't have the talent to be a director, then I can only work hard to be a screenwriter and strive to earn 400 million!
Hahaha. ”Such a Xiao Zhou is unfamiliar to Linlin.Linlin didn't know that this temporary visit was also an assessment of whether she could make another movie in the future.She didn't know what he was supposed to say in this situation.So there was only silence.There was silence for a moment, and finally she whispered to Xiao Zhou: "Didn't the boss say that the rookie director should not listen to anyone's opinion and just go to film?"
”"Yes."
Xiao Zhou smiled and nodded, indicating that he also remembered this sentence.However, after Xiao Zhou nodded, he said seriously: "Other people's opinions are not important to me, but the boss's opinions are very important to me." ”Linlin stopped talking.
