I rely on talking to brush the copy
Chapter 124 Interstellar Filmmaking (7)
Le Jing returned home and called Zhou Jinsen, who answered the phone quickly.
He first said, "I'm sorry to bother you."
The other party was silent for a while, then smiled bitterly, "You're too impulsive... But it's really refreshing to watch."
Zhou Jinsen now thinks of the scene of Shi Jing beating Bai Lang, and still feels his scalp tingling and his whole body comfortable, just like drinking a bowl of ice water in the dog days of summer, so refreshing!
He had wanted to do this for a long time!
Not only him, but other people in the crew had complaints about Bai Lang for a long time, but they dared not speak out because of his background. And this time Shi Jing beat Bai Lang, took revenge, and did what they always wanted to do but didn't dare to do, not to mention how happy they were!
When Shi Jing walked out of the studio, the staff didn't dare to say much in public, but they all felt relieved behind the scenes. But they were not optimistic about Shi Jing's prospects.
After all, such a moment of refreshing will lead to Bai Lang's crazy revenge later!
Le Jing asked again: "How is the situation over there now?"
Zhou Jinsen replied: "Bai Lang has been sent to the hospital, and Director Li has also gone there. Now the entire theater has stopped working."
"What are your plans?" He asked worriedly: "You hit Bai Lang this time, he will definitely not let it go. What did you mean by what you said before you left?"
Le Jing smiled, did not answer Zhou Jinsen's question, but just said: "Don't worry, I know what I am doing. Now it is a society ruled by law, and he can't kill me."
Zhou Jinsen sighed: "It's enough for them to ban you. Do you still want to continue working in this industry in the future?"
Le Jing: "Then I won't do it. If I can't stay here, I will stay somewhere else. Anyway, I am bullied in the crew. I don't want to do it anymore."
Zhou Jinsen sighed again, and the two of them said a few more words casually and hung up the phone.
Le Jing waited for a while, and Sister Sun called. As soon as the call was connected, the other party asked directly: "What did you shoot?"
He chuckled: "What do you think I shot?"
He couldn't see Sister Sun's expression, but only heard a heavy gasp from the other side. It was obvious that the other party was trying to control her anger. "I don't care what you shot. Have you ever thought about the consequences of releasing it?"
Le Jing said calmly: "I set up a small program. If I don't log in for more than three days, the system will assume that I am dead. The program will automatically post the videos and recordings of Bai Lang's black material that I shot, together with my real-name report letter and suicide note, to major social platforms..."
Sister Sun pretended to be calm and replied A: "Are you crazy? We have a strong public relations team and a team of lawyers. Don't think you can threaten us with a synthesized video."
"What do you think of the title "Bai Tian Energy arbitrarily manipulates Chinese laws, and the entertainment industry has become a secret place to launder black money"? "Le Jing asked with a smile: "I plan to submit the manuscript to the official Weibo of the National Anti-gang and Evil Working Group. Do you think the country will protect me, an innocent citizen?"
Sister Sun finally couldn't hold it anymore. She gritted her teeth and said: "... It's inconvenient to talk on the phone. Let's talk about it when we meet tomorrow."
Le Jing couldn't help but sigh that Sister Sun was indeed an old-fashioned person. In order to prevent him from recording, she spoke without leaking a drop of water and leaving no handle.
Le Jing and Sister Sun agreed on the time and place to meet tomorrow, and then hung up the phone.
To be honest, Le Jing actually didn't plan to upload videos and recordings about Bai Lang's black material at present. He was just trying to scare Sister Sun.
Just like nuclear weapons, these things are killers. They are deterrent only before they are released, which can make the other party afraid to act rashly.
After Le Jing uploaded it to the Internet, it certainly attracted a lot of attention, and many righteous netizens would come to uphold justice, which would also bring a devastating blow to Bai Lang's acting career.
But...
The time to maintain the popularity is limited.
When the popularity subsides and public opinion shifts its attention, even if Le Jing died quietly at home, it would not cause any criticism. And even if Bai Lang cannot be an actor, with the support of the Bai family, he can still live a life of luxury and wealth.
Le Jing is powerless now, and has no capital to compete with the Bai family behind Bai Lang. If he fails to kill the snake, he will suffer from it. It is not something Le Jing would do to sacrifice his life for a moment of pleasure.
In the future, if Le Jing wants to deal with Bai Lang, he will only kill him with thunder and lightning, leaving him no chance to turn over.
So Le Jing made a fuss about Bai Lang's careless words that day and dragged the Bai family into it.
The Bai family has grown into a behemoth today. No matter how many shady means they have used behind the scenes, at least they should be good citizens who abide by the law and respond to all policies of the country with both hands.
So it is conceivable that if Le Jing really uploaded Bai Lang's crazy words to the Internet, the netizens who are good at conspiracy theories would come to such incredible and sensational conclusions. The Bai family finally cleaned up their name and got ashore. If they are linked to the underworld, tax evasion, money laundering and other illegal crimes, the supervision of netizens and the investigation of relevant state departments will be enough for them to eat a pot. If a hostile company adds insult to injury and spreads the black material of the Bai family, the Bai family will have a lot of fun.
By then, even if Le Jing will be retaliated by the Bai family, Bai Lang will not have a good harvest.
After all, Bai's father has many illegitimate children. Even if he dotes on Bai Lang, in order to protect the interests of the family, he can only punish this son severely.
And this is exactly what Bai Lang does not want to see.
Le Jing is not afraid of wearing shoes when he is barefoot, but Bai Lang has too many things he is unwilling to give up - the love of fans, money and wealth, the power of the Bai family, these are his life, and it is more painful for him to give up all these than to kill him.
So even if Bai Lang is angry and resentful, he can only calm down and negotiate with Le Jing with a pinched nose.
Le Jing touched his chin and thought with a smile that he didn't need to pay money for beating someone this time, and he might even receive a considerable hush money.
And things are indeed as Le Jing expected.
When they met the next day, although Bai Lang kept staring at Le Jing with a resentful look that wanted to tear Le Jing into pieces, he could only generously say that he would not call the police to hold Le Jing and Zhang Ting responsible.
Under Sister Sun's urging gaze, Bai Lang gritted his teeth and squeezed out another sentence from his teeth: "I can also give you some financial compensation."
Sister Sun took over and continued: "This is the greatest sincerity we can show. Mr. Shi, you should also show your sincerity."
At this time, they were in a secret residence under Bai Lang's name. When Le Jing came in, he was searched by the bodyguards to ensure that he did not carry any eavesdropping equipment.
Le Jing lazily leaned on the back of the sofa and said, "As long as you don't deliberately target me in the future, I won't upload the video."
Sister Sun shook her head, "No, you must give me the video and destroy all the backups."
Le Jing was amused. He leaned forward slightly and asked in a funny way: "Even if I destroyed all the video backups in front of you, can you believe it? Don't you suspect that I have other backup videos hidden behind my back?"
Sister Sun was speechless for a moment. What Le Jing said was exactly what she was worried about.
"So, if that's the case, don't waste your time. We can sign an agreement. As long as you don't do anything in the future, I won't release the video... To be honest, if I wasn't forced into a corner, I wouldn't want to fight you to the death." Le Jing looked at Sister Sun's wandering eyes sincerely: "I still love life very much, but I don't want to provoke revenge from the Bai family."
Sister Sun was convinced.
Indeed, if Bai Lang's black material video really circulated on the Internet, Shi Jing would not have a good ending. The anger of the Bai family is not something that an orphan with no background can bear.
But...
Sister Sun is now regretting it.
When she was on the set, she saw this person smiling all day long, as if he was easy to talk to, and he didn't get angry when he was ordered around. She learned from the crew that Shi Jing didn't have any background either.
Come to think of it, if he had a background, how could he still do miscellaneous chores at such a low salary at this age?
So when Bai Lang wanted to vent his anger, she immediately helped him choose this boy. No power, no influence, weak character, what a suitable punching bag!
I didn't expect that this guy, who usually looks silent, has the courage to die rather than live in disgrace.
It's true that the dog that bites doesn't bark.
But what's the use of regretting now? Anyway, she misjudged the person, and she can only swallow the bitter fruit she brewed.
In the end, the conditions they agreed on were: Bai Lang gave Shi Jing and Zhang Ting 200,000 star coins each as compensation, Shi Jing promised not to let the second person see the video, and the party in breach of contract would bear the corresponding legal responsibility.
…
After Shi Jing left, Bai Lang let out an angry roar, pushed hard, and directly overturned the table to the ground, panting and turning around in the room.
"This grandson dared to trick me! I can't forgive him!" Bai Lang looked at Sister Sun with red eyes, "Sister, you have the most ways, do you have any good ideas?"
Speaking of ideas, Sister Sun really has one.
"Don't worry, Alang, he won't have a good ending." Sister Sun showed a sneer at the corner of her mouth, "He won't be able to find a job in the circle in the future!"
Bai Lang hesitated and said: "That kid still has the video in his hand. What if he wants to fight to the death..."
Sister Sun crossed her chest and said confidently: "Don't worry, there is still a long way to go in the future. No matter what job this kid finds in the future, we just need to say hello to the person in charge and ask them to take good care of Shi Jing."
Bai Lang also understood. The two looked at each other and showed a smile of understanding. He took over the conversation and said happily: "At that time, they will naturally make Shi Jing suffer. They have many ways to make trouble for people. They guarantee that Shi Jing will have no words to say. Moreover, this matter has nothing to do with us from beginning to end. Even if Shi Jing suspects us, he has no evidence."
Sister Sun nodded with relief, looking like a teachable child.
After understanding this, Bai Lang was no longer angry. He couldn't wait to see Shi Jing desperate and in a state of embarrassment, kneeling down to admit his mistakes and begging him to let him go.
Humph, he is just a low-level person, he doesn't know how high the sky is and how deep the earth is. He really thinks that he can be threatened by a few videos?
He will let him know what it means to be unable to twist the thigh! He will make it difficult for him to move forward in this industry, suffer humiliation and torture, and make him regret what he did today.
…
Le Jing did not go home first, but went to Sister Zhang's house first. He wanted to transfer the compensation to Zhang Ting.
After Sister Zhang welcomed him in, she first served him tea, then sighed, with a heavy face: "Zhang Ting told me everything that happened. I'm sorry that he has caused you trouble."
Le Jing smiled and said, "What are you talking about? Zhang Ting is very well-behaved. This time, the other party is looking for trouble to bully him. He is just trying to defend himself. There is nothing wrong with him."
Sister Zhang smiled bitterly and shook her head: "In this industry, there is no recognition of right or wrong, only power. As long as you have power, no one will object even if you say the sun is square."
"Although Zhang Ting did nothing wrong, the other party is from the Bai family and has a bad temper. This matter will definitely not go well."
Sister Zhang must have been a great beauty when she was young, but later her life became difficult and she did not take care of herself. As a result, her face is now full of wrinkles and her eyebrows are full of sadness. These are the traces given to her by the hardships of life.
This woman has gone through ups and downs in her life that ordinary people can't even imagine. She has endured countless storms and waves. At this time, she was filled with tears because the safety of her only son was involved. She even looked at Le Jing with some despair: "Do you have the contact information of the other party? I and the other party Contact me to apologize and see if I can get the money back..."
"Mom!!" Zhang Ting rushed out of the room angrily: "I'm not wrong, it was the other party who bullied me, and I was acting in self-defense! Why do you have to apologize?"
"You don't understand!" Zhang Yanfang closed her eyes, and the scandalous incidents from her youth seemed to reappear in front of her eyes. If she hadn't been young and energetic and didn't know how to bow her head, how could she have fallen into such a despicable and disgusting state now? appearance?
She opened her eyes, filled with sadness, "This is the circle, that's it..."
Le Jing quickly interrupted her and explained: "Sister Zhang, I have already talked with the other party, and the other party also admitted his mistake and gave Zhang Ting 200,000 star coins in compensation."
Sister Zhang's eyes widened in disbelief, "Really?"
"Of course it's true. I came here just to give money." Le Jing took out a bank card and handed it to Sister Zhang, "There are 200,000 star coins in it, and the password is 6 sixes."
Sister Zhang was stunned and didn't move, as if she hadn't woken up yet.
Zhang Ting took the card enthusiastically and said happily: "Great! I have wanted to buy new sneakers for a long time, and now I can buy a pair of the latest AJs!"
Sister Zhang finally woke up and snatched the bank card from Zhang Ting's hand. She looked at Le Jing in surprise: "Is the other party really so easy to talk to? Didn't he make things difficult for you?"
Le Jing smiled and deliberately said in a relaxed tone: "It's okay. I took pictures of everything that happened that day. I threatened Bai Lang and said that if he dared to do anything, I would expose him on the Internet, so he was afraid. , No, you’re apologizing and paying for it, just because you’re afraid that I’ll be exposed.”
Zhang Ting was overjoyed and said happily: "As expected of Brother Jing, even if he has a way, let's see how arrogant and domineering that man named Bai is!"
Zhang Yanfang cannot be so optimistic. She said to Zhang Ting: "You go back to your room first, I have something to say with your brother Jing."
After Zhang Ting's bedroom door closed, Sister Zhang stared at Le Jing seriously: "If you do this, there will be endless troubles!"
Le Jing shrugged, "But if we don't do this, then we will really let the mercenaries take advantage of us. This way, we can at least make the other party feel wary and not dare to retaliate unscrupulously."
Sister Zhang nodded. At this time, she had to admit that Le Jing's approach was already the optimal solution.
She lowered her head and was silent for a while, as if she was weighing something silently.
When Le Jing was considering whether to leave, he saw Sister Zhang raised her head, as if she had made up her mind, and looked at him seriously: "If you encounter any difficulties in the future, tell Auntie. Although Auntie has withdrawn from the industry for many years, , but I still know a few people, and I have accumulated a lot of good karma that year..." She paused and sneered: "Many people still owe me favors." She adjusted her mood and continued: "How much should it be? can help you.”
Facing Sister Zhang's eyes filled with deep concern and worry, Le Le nodded and said, "I know, by then I don't think I will really bother Sister Zhang."
"You kid, is there any trouble between us?" Sister Zhang laughed first and then sighed: "I just hope those people are not so mean..."
…
After Le Jing returned home, he called Director Li and told him about his resignation.
Director Li was silent for a moment and wrote lightly: "You don't have to resign, I fired Bai Lang."
Le Jing was really surprised now: "What on earth is going on?"
Li Jianye cursed loudly: "Not to mention my script was changed to that evil character. The lead actor doesn't even have basic acting skills, so why film? It's just rubbish! I, Li Jianye, want to lose face!"
Le Jing was a little surprised. It turned out that the script he saw had been changed. No wonder it was so...hard to describe.
Li Jianye continued: "I asked the investors whether they want Bai Lang or me. If Bai Lang is gone, then we will continue to film this drama. If you continue to be determined to choose Bai Lang as the starring role, then you should withdraw your investment." I don’t care about your dirty money!”
Later, he learned from Director Li’s words that Director Li bought this script with money when he saw Lie Xinxi. He originally dreamed of making a realistic drama that reflected the dark reality of the Republic of China. The protagonist Zhou Dezhang was in the process of searching for the truth about the death of his friend Li Jingran. , delved into the dark reality of society, and finally came to the truth about Li Jingran's death - everyone is not the real murderer, everyone is the murderer - what killed Li Jingran was the dark and corrupt government of the Republic of China and the cruel political struggle.
This is the central theme that "Chronicles of Literary Heroes of the Republic of China" wants to express.
As a result, it was tampered with by the investors and turned into an unscrupulous TV drama disguised as a literary giant. Let alone the social reality, this is just a silly and sweet action blockbuster.
Li Jianye was already holding back his anger about this, so he took advantage of this incident to quickly fall out with the investors, quit the job, and asked them to hire another Gao Ming.
Le Jing's heart moved and he asked tentatively: "Then what are your plans next?"
Director Li replied: "I still want to film this drama. I will look for other investments to see if there is any other investment. If it doesn't work, I will advance the money myself to film it."
"What's your budget for this movie?"
Director Li thought for a while and said, "Including marketing and publicity, it will cost at least seven to eight million."
This cost is already very cheap compared to later movies that cost hundreds of millions.
This is also because props and scenery can now be simulated through AI technology in post-production, and missing shots can also be made up through AI technology, so the cost of film production is very low.
In addition, most of the actors hired by the "Literary Man" crew were unknown starlets, and their remuneration was very low, so the overall cost was also very low.
“What if we don’t count marketing announcements?”
"Then maybe two million is enough."
This price is already very low, but Lejing's current net worth is still far beyond it. He now adds the 200,000 yuan compensation Bai Lang gave him, plus the money he made from Qijiang Video Network these days, the total is only 400,000 yuan.
He took a deep breath and had no choice but to give up.
LeJing actually wants to invest in this TV series.
Director Li's TV series script, in Le Jing's view, did not delve deeply enough into the society of the Republic of China at that time, and there is still a lot of room for adaptation.
His dream TV series of the Republic of China should be one where blood and darkness coexist, despair and ideals fly together, and national salvation and political struggle go hand in hand.
The script of "Chronicles of Literary Heroes of the Republic of China" is too thin.
Of course, Le Jing admitted that he actually wanted to take revenge on Bai Lang through the success of this drama.
If "Chronicles of Literary Heroes of the Republic of China" really became popular, who knows how angry Bai Lang, a former starring actor, would be? Le Jing really looked at his face at that time.
It's a pity that no matter how good the idea is, it can't offset the miserable reality. Le Jing is now a pauper.
So he should stop thinking so much now and just work hard to make money.
In the future, if there is an opportunity, he will definitely make his own film and television works with the theme of the Republic of China. .
After thinking about it, he proposed his resignation again to Director Li. Director Li did not do much to persuade him to stay, and he was very interesting and directly gave Le Jing 10,000 star coins as compensation for his hard work in the previous days.
After hanging up the phone, Le Jing stretched his muscles, knowing that he would be very busy in the coming days.
Today is Wednesday, and this Saturday he will upload the third episode of "Little People". Moreover, he has been busy with the crew these days. The production of the "Huo Qubing" movie has not started yet, so he must hurry up.
If...if he can really win the first prize in the video competition, if Director Li's investment in TV series is not enough by then, then he might really be able to invest and give it a try!
…
In the third episode of "Little People", Lejing plans to tell a story about love and revenge.
The story of a dead woman and a man who endured humiliation for five years in order to avenge this woman and finally wiped out the entire enemy's family.
The dead woman was called Xu Pingjun, and she was only 19 years old when she died. Her father was once a minor official, but later he made a mistake and was executed by castration and became a eunuch.
She was the daughter of a sinner and a eunuch.
The man who avenged the woman was called Liu Bingji. When he married Xu Pingjun, he was just a street gangster and impoverished. Later he became Emperor Xuan of Han Dynasty.
Their story has been called in history: The love left behind in Nanyuan, the love between swords.
Liu Bingji's grandfather was Prince Liu Zhi, and his great-grandmother, his grandfather's mother, was the famous Wei Zifu.
During the Witchcraft Rebellion, Liu Zhi's wives, concubines, three sons and one daughter were all executed by the angry Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. Only the infant Liu Bing escaped death.
Later, Liu Bingji grew up in the market under the protection of benevolent people from all walks of life. Although he had a clan status, he was impoverished and was looked down upon by the dignitaries. He was no different from the common people on the street.
So the down-and-out clan son married the daughter of an ordinary eunuch and lived a happy life in the marketplace. Although such a life is poor, it is very happy.
However, fate is mysterious and unpredictable.
On the day of Guiwei in April of the first year of Yuanping, Emperor Zhao of Han died without an heir. The new emperor who succeeded him, Liu He, was deposed by Huo Qubing's half-brother, the powerful minister Huo Guang, because of his licentiousness.
Finally, the eighteen-year-old Liu Bingji was sent to the throne by Huo Guang.
And this is also the beginning of Xu Pingjun's tragedy.
After he succeeded to the throne, the ministers wanted to make Huo Guang's daughter Huo Chengjun the queen, but Liu Bingji was deeply in love with his wife and naturally refused to agree. However, he could not openly oppose Huo Guang, so he could only issue an imperial edict to ask the ministers to find a sword that he loved when he was among the people.
The sword refers to Xu Pingjun.
This is the origin of the deep love between Gu Jian.
Later, Xu Pingjun became the queen.
Then she was poisoned to death by Huo Chengjun at the age of nineteen.
Huo Guang's daughter, Huo Chengjun, got her wish and became the queen.
Huo Chengjun was arrogant and domineering. Liu Bingji endured his grief and pretended to be obedient to Huo Chengjun, but he did not let her give birth to his own heir. Instead, he made Xu Pingjun's son the prince.
In the second year of Dijie, Huo Guang passed away, and Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty held a grand funeral for him.
In the fourth year of Dijie, the Huo family launched a failed coup, which led to the extinction of the family.
In August of the same year, Emperor Xuan of Han deposed Huo Chengjun on the grounds of conspiracy to poison the prince, and ordered her to move to Zhaotai Palace in Shanglinyuan.
In the fourth year of Wufeng, Emperor Xuan of Han once again drove Huo Chengjun to Yunlin Pavilion, and Huo Chengjun committed suicide.
At that time, seventeen years had passed since Xu Pingjun's death.
This is the story of Xu Pingjun.
She was born in a humble family and had a short but beautiful love.
Her death triggered a series of stories later, which indirectly led to the demise of the Huo family.
The most ruthless imperial family.
But she was once deeply loved by an emperor.
But she was eventually poisoned to death.
After her death, all her enemies died, her son became emperor, her father was honored and favored throughout his life, and her husband missed her all his life.
But all this has nothing to do with a dead person.
This is the story of Xu Pingjun, a story that she had no control over from birth to death.
The story of a small person.
