my life is running wild

Chapter 25 The consequences of agreeing to talk about things after drinking

After listening to Liu Chengyin's explanation of the source of the money.

Liu's mother: "That's not okay, I managed to earn some money, so I can save it to buy a house and marry a wife, you are good at making pictures, relying on your skills, how about you go directly to those big factories to make special effects for people?
That's solid money!

And if you invest money in making a movie, the probability of making money from that thing is even less reliable than speculating in stocks!

To be honest, you are more reliable in making games than making movies, at least games have made money. "

Liu Chengyin: "Then I play games?"

Mother Liu: "Huh?"

Liu Chengyin didn't dare to be sloppy anymore: "I still want to try."

Mother Liu: "Why are you becoming more and more disobedient?!"

Liu Chengyin: "If you earn money, you will share half of it."

Mother Liu: "Have you earned half of the money?
If you want to earn money, I won't say anything about you.

I'm worried about the things you can't make money with.

What if you are about to fail?
Failed, not only wasting time, you finally got some good luck and earned money, and you also have to bear mental pressure.”

Liu Chengyin: "If I fail, I will listen to you - go home and find a class! Is this the head office?"

Maybe it's because the wine is strong and cowardly;
It may also be because I have experienced relaxation in the four years of university, and I do not want to accept restraint anymore;

Perhaps it was because I had just pulled 039 aboard the thief's boat when I was drunk, and I was too embarrassed to get off the boat first;

Or maybe the system gave him confidence and his wings became stiff
In short, Liu Chengyin said such a sentence.

The point of this sentence is not the content, but the tone, the emotion inside, and Liu Chengyin's determination!
Mother Liu heard her son's decision.

Liu's mother turned on her mobile phone, looked at the box office of the movies that are currently showing, and roughly estimated the proportion of movies that can pay back, and the proportion of movies that can make money.

The advantage is mine!

After thinking about it, Mother Liu said, "That's okay."

Hearing this, Liu Chengyin was overjoyed.

However, Liu Chengyin was too happy to be happy.

Mother Liu spoke again: "But, this is the standard of 'success' and 'failure'?"

Liu Chengyin thought for a while, and then said: "If I lose all my money, it will count as a failure?"

Mother Liu: "Heh~ If this is the case, if you spend thousands of dollars every year to make a small movie, wouldn't it mean that I can't wait for you to come back until I die?"

"Bah, bah, bah~ what's not dead, I don't want to talk about it." Liu Chengyin continued: "Then what do you think?"

"According to me." Mother Liu thought for a while.

Well, for negotiation, if you can't come up, you should report the bottom line, and you have to give the other party room to bargain. Through counter-offering, you can make the other party feel that you have "earned"...

Anyway, at the end of the cut, Liu Chengyin may "earn blood", but Mother Liu will definitely not lose money!
Decided to quote a "high price" first, and let Liu Chengyin cut it slowly.

Mother Liu: "Well, set a deadline, 'three times' and 'the end of next year'!"

Liu Chengyin: "What do you mean?"

Mother Liu: "The time limit is before the end of next year!
You have three chances, and you have to make a convincing score in three films. "

Liu Chengyin: "What counts as a convincing achievement? Isn't the best art award not enough?"

Mother Liu: "Just based on the art awards and short film awards, do you think you can survive on movies?"

Speaking of this, Liu's mother yelled frantically to her ignorant son in her heart: "It's survival! Making money! If you can't make money, can you just eat prizes?"

However, Liu Chengyin, whose brain has been confused by alcohol, is so clueless. What he thinks at the moment is:

What is the most convincing thing in the film industry, and what can best prove whether someone is suitable for filming?
correct!It's those big prizes!

It is the awards for best director, best screenwriter, best film, best actor, etc. that can make people immediately "confess the emperor and the queen of the country"!
This is basically what the public can remember when the film awards are announced every time.

OK!Done!

Under the influence of alcohol, Liu Chengyin felt that he was the protagonist in this world, with so much pride in his chest that he didn't pay attention to anything.

Liu Chengyin nodded directly, regardless of whether the other party could see it or not:

"can."

Seeing Liu Chengyin agreeing so readily, Mother Liu was stunned.

Can?What can I do?I didn't say any conditions?
However, before mother Liu asked this question, Liu Chengyin began to explain on his own: "Don't worry, best director, best screenwriter, best film... I will definitely win one of these awards." show you!"

As for the best actor... Liu Chengyin wanted to be a quiet behind-the-scenes worker, and didn't intend to be an eye-catching actor, so he ignored it.

After listening to Liu Chengyin's words, Mother Liu was startled.

How dare this silly boy say it!
How much did you drink?

Where is it so easy to win an award?
The condition she really wanted to say was: let Liu Chengyin earn a certain amount of money before the end of next year, and it would be enough to prove that he can survive starvation in this industry.

Unexpectedly, before Mother Liu's quotation was included, Liu Chengyin actually "upped the price" by himself.

But... that's fine too.

Mother Liu: "Well, so be it.

Then it’s fine to share half of the money I make. If you really make money, it’s your ability. I’m afraid you won’t make it. "

Liu Chengyin: "No, I still have to give."

Mother Liu: "What? You want to bribe me so that I can experience the feeling of "taking someone's hand short"?"

Mother Liu felt that she had seen through everything.

Liu Chengyin suddenly let out a silly smile that he had cultivated after playing the good boy for many years.

After laughing, Liu Chengyin said again in a serious tone: "Parents have worked so hard for their children for half their lives, and enjoy their money with their children's money, why, what, what?"

Mother Liu fell silent for a moment, as if moved by Liu Chengyin's words, after a long time: "Well, I don't want too much, don't suffer yourself if you make money, eat more good food.

It's enough to give me a meaning, maybe it can be used for me and your dad's gas money. "

Liu Chengyin: "How can [-]% be enough? It's too dishonest! It doesn't hurt or itches! At least [-]%! I'll give you [-]%! I want [-]%!"

However, Mother Liu's focus seems to be different from what Liu Chengyin expected...

"You want seven? You want a wife?"

"I want seven, what's wrong?"

Mother Liu: "For the sake of wanting a wife, let's go!

I accept your offer.

If you really make a lot of money, the [-]% can just be used as your wife's capital. Even if you fail later and lose money, it won't delay your marriage, which is great.

In short, if you really have a wife by then, even if you insist on making movies...

In short, everything is easy to say. "

"What daughter-in-law?! I'm talking about movies!"

"it's the same."

After reaching an agreement with Mother Liu and ending the call.

At this time, a gust of wind blew, and Liu Chengyin was half awake from the wine.

"Clap~"

Liu Chengyin slapped himself on the head.

"Oh! What did I promise all this! It's a mistake to drink..."

After Liu Chengyin regained some sobriety, he suddenly felt a little difficult.

The "grand prize" requested by Mother Liu is all about the "depth of content"!
And "content" is Liu Chengyin's weakness...

According to his original plan, he probably wanted to be on the safe side, and planned to shoot a few popcorn movies that would give full play to his advantages in the screen and make money.

As for such things as winning awards, it should be a few years later, when he has gained a firm foothold in the film industry and learned something in the process, he will not start trying.

Now, he actually promised Mother Liu to make three films before the end of next year, and win the "grand prize" in the three films.

There is only one and a half years left until the end of next year!

Even if Liu Chengyin opened and hung up, he still felt very numb.

But when he thinks about it carefully, in the online novels he has read, the protagonists who cheated usually "shocked the world" within two or three years. It shouldn't be difficult to win a "grand prize" in the film industry, right?
at this point……

Fight!

Also, remember in the future: don't drink alcohol when talking about business in the future!

Later, Liu Chengyin used his mobile phone to search for films that had won the "grand prize" defined by Liu's mother in various domestic film awards over the years, trying to learn the basis for the judges' judgments.
After watching it for a while, Liu Chengyin roughly summed up the reasons why these films won awards:

High level of thinking.

Humanistic care.

Family and country feelings.

High level of thinking, to put it bluntly, is a big brain hole.

Shoot all kinds of unexpected, but reasonable plots.

Humanistic care, in short, is just one word - miserable!

By photographing the difficulties of a certain group, people will pay attention to and help this group.

Family and country feelings, needless to say.

It’s just that this subject matter, unless it is officially designated and required, most people dare not go too deep into it, because it is difficult to grasp the scale.

In short, no matter what, his previous idea of ​​making a popcorn movie based on "shuangwen plot" can no longer be used, and some depth must be added.
How to add it, I will think about it when I go back, now he and 039 have to find someone to help him try his songs.

After returning to the box, the time when Liu Chengyin was asked to "speak a few words" had already passed.

Didn't say much, just checked out and left.

Based on the familiarity gained from four years of exploration around the school, they quickly found a piano store that was still in business.

Looking from the outside to the inside, there are various Western musical instruments and Chinese traditional musical instruments in the piano shop.

As soon as the four of Liu Chengyin entered, someone greeted them immediately.

"Welcome, what do you need?"

After seeing a customer coming in, a middle-aged man in the store with a bearded, sleepy eyes, half-length hair not short, and a very artistic atmosphere was wiping a flute, and walked towards Liu Chengyin and the others. Said.

"Boss, can I borrow your musical instrument?" No. [-] took the lead and ran to negotiate with the literary middle-aged as a representative.
