Entertainment Empire System

Director Li's eyes widened in surprise at this time. He looked at Ye Ming, and suddenly said incredulously: "Are you a student of Harvard or Yale? Why are you going to the film school again? I heard you just now You're the one who said you want to go to film school. You've graduated from Harvard and Yale. Why do you want to go back to film school?

Also, how old are you? What level of study can you achieve to graduate from both Harvard and Yale at this age? This is simply incredible. "

I originally thought that Ye Ming was a bronze student from the countryside, but I didn't expect that he was an academic champion at a top university in the world.

Ye Ming immediately explained at this time: "Now that I am coming back to study for my senior year in high school, it is actually to take the film school entrance examination. I like acting in movies and the feeling of being under the spotlight, so I came back.

This can be regarded as one of my hobbies. I think a person who can treat his hobby as a job is very happy. There are not many people in the world who can treat their hobby as a job. I happen to be able to do one of them. Why not do one?

As for my graduation from Harvard University and Yale University, basically it took me two years to complete their undergraduate studies. Harvard took two years and business took two years. Basically, it was two universities this time. , I have already graduated from university, and I no longer have the desire to continue taking the Ph.D. exam online.

I'm happy with some of these wishes, and money can't buy them, right?

So I don’t want to come back after studying abroad. It doesn’t really matter. As long as I like it, everything else is fine.

Well, then, as you are now, I am preparing to take the film school entrance examination. I like this quietly, and I am not happy. Before the age of 18, I have already spent all my blood on it, and my grades are good. I have good grades in the exam so that my family can If you're satisfied, that's OK.

I have the final say on what I should do after I turn 18. For example, if I invest the money, I will make the decision myself. If I make the profit, I will make the decision myself. If I lose the money, I will bear it. .

This amount of money is not particularly important to me, but for our crew, it should be able to solve an urgent need, so it should not be a big problem for me to bring myself into the crew. "

Hearing this, Director Li thought for a moment and then said: "It's okay. Since you said so, we can cooperate. You are in the capital team, but I have to make it clear first. This investment If the external copyright cannot be sold, we will really have nothing to gain this time.

But if you participate in a film festival or something, you can win an award, and then you can sell some of the film's copyright. In this case, you can at least guarantee the bottom line.

But if not, it's hard to tell.

oh. So, if you invest in this matter, you may get nothing. Of course, you may make money, but the possibility of making money is not very high, so don’t hold out too much hope.

We raise money to shoot movies just for the sake of art, but you are not doing it for art, or at least not to the extent that you are for art now. If you can help, it is already considered good.

So, I will definitely tell you some of the things here so that you can avoid walking into the trap. "

Ye Ming, as for Ye Ming, said with certainty: "It's okay. I learned about this matter. I also invested in it because I thought this movie could be made. I really didn't have any other ideas.

Of course, it’s better to win awards. If you can’t win awards, you can still contribute to art and gain the experience of making a movie, right? To me, this is not a disadvantage. "

Speaking of this, of course the cooperation can continue. This time it is of course more formal, because it is considered an investment after all.

So, of course I have signed a contract here, and I carry my myopia glasses with me everywhere. The contracts are all ready-made, as long as I sign my name, it is OK. This is the first official contract for the crew.

Of course, this contract also explains the proportion of Ye Ming, how to divide the compensation after standing up, and how to bear the risks in the future. These contracts are all reflected in it. It is a relatively standardized film and television contract.

After the money matter was settled, Director Li said happily: "Okay, let's leave as soon as possible. We can start shooting early, and then we can finish it early. Anyway, I have watched the second one more than once." Yes, there must be no problem. We are more welcome there.

They even made it clear that if we go there, based on their scale, they will find at least 200 people to come and watch our performance, and they will also be able to do group performances for free.

So it doesn't matter, if there is nothing special necessary, we should have known better and arranged the place early, and then we can start shooting.

There are also some shots of private coal mines, black gold, no, it’s black mines, these were shot on location.

I also contacted the local people, and I think we will have a more precise answer after we arrive.

I think it would be better for us to do a gimmick first. Of course, because we are an underground film and have not obtained a license, it is destined that this film will not be promoted in the domestic media.

Some reporters may be curious and want to inquire about our specific news. However, if we spend our own money to promote such a large-scale thing, it is absolutely impossible for us to just rush to shoot the movie and then see if it is right. Being able to sell an overseas copyright is one of the motivations for me to persevere.

If there is no such motivation, it will be difficult to say when the time comes. Okay, you prepare the specific time to leave first and I will inform you later. By the way, as for the clothes and sentences I mentioned, you prepare yourself. Don't shave these days. It's good like this.

When you are ready, you can follow us to shoot. "

As an experienced actor, Ye Ming certainly knows what to prove before shooting. Especially when going to a remote county to shoot something, how to prepare some personal equipment and items is based on experience. .

If someone doesn't have much performance experience, it's really impossible to make it more neat.

Two big boxes full of stuff.

Ye Ming also believes that if he prepares well at this time, he can avoid unnecessary troubles when he encounters something at the shooting location. Therefore, he never thinks that it is important to prepare something for shooting at this time. It’s not necessary, these are just words of experience.

When they arrived at the train station, Ye Ming found four people at the agreed meeting place.

Two of them are of course Director Li and the gold-rimmed glasses. The gold-rimmed glasses are the one in charge of the drama and external relations of the movie. Li Dongfeng, Director Li’s old classmate Qiangzi.

These two pages are relatively familiar. The other one is a beautiful girl in her 20s. She should be the female lead in this movie. She is the kind of professional actor the director said to play the female lead.

There is another guy who is as thin as a hemp straw and looks very smart. He should be an actor or other staff member of the crew.

Sure enough, at this time, Director Li saw Ye Ming and greeted him: "Ye Ming, this way. Come over here and I will introduce you to the female lead in our movie, Miss Haitang."

This other person is considered to be the drama team member of our crew.

Haitang, Xiaojun, this is our male lead Ye Ming. "

After Haitang Palace saw Ye Ming, she found that he was not a familiar person and he was not dressed in a particularly fashionable style. He immediately lost his interest and reluctantly nodded as a greeting.

Anyway, he looked very proud. As a professional actor, he probably had the air of a professional actor.

Haitang is quite good at this point. It seems that she has no intention of socializing with Ye Ming at all. Even though Ye Ming has been recognized by the director as the male lead, Haitang still did not give Ye Ming Take it to heart.

I don’t think it’s a big deal that Ye Ming is a little brat. He was just lucky enough to be spotted by the director. The rest doesn’t matter.

Because Haitang knew very well in her heart that in a place like the entertainment industry, being high-profile and low-profile was the way to survive. Haizhong understands very well in his heart that in a place like the entertainment industry, what kind of people are worth wooing and getting in touch with, that is, those who are useful to him and can help him improve. Such talents are worthy of his help and wooing. As for Speaking of Ye Ming, he was just chosen by the director. What's the big deal about a lucky little guy? What's the big deal about someone like Adou who can't help him?

If it weren't for the director's face, Haitang would even say that he wouldn't even bother to look at Ye Ming.

Being able to say hello to Ye Ming this time is already quite a favor to the director.

As for Xiaojun at this time, Xiaojun immediately understood the situation. The director had already signed the lead male role. So at this time, Xiao Jun said with a smile: "What kind of drama manager is not a drama manager? I am just doing odd jobs on the crew. If you have anything to do, tell me. I will find a way to solve the problem for everyone. Under the leadership of the director and Brother Qiang, Come on, I'm just an errand boy. If you have any questions, just tell me and I will definitely try my best to solve your problem."

At this time, of course Ye Ming greeted several people very politely. Regardless of whether Haitang wanted to know him or not, he still had to say the necessary greetings when meeting for the first time. Otherwise, he would not give the director face.

Although Haitang's behavior made Ye Ming very unhappy, as a man, there was no need to argue with a woman, and he still had to say hello when he should.

After saying hello, Ye Ming immediately said apologetically: "I'm sorry, there was a traffic jam on my side today. I originally planned to be able to get here, but as a result, I was 5 minutes late. There's nothing I can do about it. The bus Just in time for the traffic jam."

Director Li waved his hand generously and said: "It doesn't matter. As long as the train is not late, there will be no problem. The specific train departure time is still early, about 40 minutes, so let's go. Since you Let’s go to the train station first and wait there.”

Ye Ming said curiously: "I don't know, so I'm here. I'm right for coming, but what about the other people? Let's leave. The other people haven't come yet. We are the only five people who won't go and make a movie without saying yes." Bar.

This thing also has some cameras, film and so on. You must have these things. Let’s just say, these 5 people can’t just pass by like this.

You said that what you see now is all the official members of our crew. Only the five of us are going to make a movie and this director. I think that although our crew needs to save money, he will not say that it will save to this extent. "

Director Li looked disapproving and said, "What happened to the five people?

Five people are already pretty good. Our conditions are a bit more difficult, so we have to persevere and overcome it. The leading roles are the two of you and the other supporting roles. Then I can find other people in the local area to help and let other people make guest appearances.

After all, in extraordinary times, everyone needs to be careful. As for what you mentioned, camera films and other equipment, don’t worry, I have sent them to you in advance, and they are kept at my local friend’s place. There will definitely be no problem.

For this hadron, we specially bought a batch of extra films, and we carried them with us in our luggage. There is definitely no problem with this. If we plan our family planning, there will definitely be no problem with this.

The difficulties are only temporary. We must overcome them and strive to complete the filming of our movie as planned.

As a movie, if you want to make a good movie, you must first be prepared to endure hardship.

After all, we are going to shoot a movie, not travel, so let’s just get over it. "

There are 5 official members of a crew, and the rest need to be recruited locally as extras?

Ye Ning always feels like she's on a pirate ship. No wonder, 100,000 yuan is needed to make a movie, and it's actually saved in this aspect. Think about it, if it wasn't saved like this, then 100,000 yuan would be saved at this time. If you want to spend 10,000 yuan to make a movie, the possibility is not very high.

It's hard for Director Li to achieve this level and try his best to simplify the crew to only 5 people.

And it also includes the male and female protagonists. It seems that Director Li really worked hard for his movie.

Oh, and when Ye Ming saw Haitang, he always felt that this woman had a somewhat dismissive expression, especially when Director Li said that it was difficult and everyone should overcome it, etc. Haitang, he That kind of contemptuous look was even more displayed in his eyes.

However, this kind of gaze passed by in a flash. The director was busy calling everyone to find someone and did not notice this situation. However, it has always fallen in the eyes of the caring Ye Ming. It seems that this Haitang is not willing to be lonely. .
