rising director

Eating is actually simple, rich people are very arty, dinner party or something, accompanied by a few people from the art circle, this level is seven or eight points higher.Generally famous roles, big directors and big stars are not easily invited by upstarts. If you want to make friends, you naturally start from the bottom.

As a result, students from major art schools became the guests of these patrons.It doesn't cost a lot for one or two meals, and if someone becomes popular in the future, it's not all human favors.At this time, it will be much easier to ask to come over to support the scene.

As Wan Xiaohu is a high-achieving student in the directing department, and he is the kind to get in based on his own ability, it is natural that he has someone to make friends with.

……

In the Shangdao Café, Wan Xiaohu and a fat pig man with sunglasses were sitting face to face drinking coffee.

"Xiao Hu, your frame is quite big. You don't call my brother to wish you New Year's greetings during the Spring Festival, do you look down on my brother?" The fat pig man in sunglasses stretched out his thick fingers, and the boss said unhappily.

Wan Xiaohu hurriedly smiled: "I'm sorry, Brother Wang, but you are a busy person. During the Spring Festival, I dare not disturb you."

"You stinky little boy, your mouth is really turning! Tell me, what is the purpose of asking brother to drink coffee?"

"It's like this. Brother Wang is also an artist, and he has the pursuit of art. No, I have a script in my hand, and I have talked with several film and television companies, but the price is a bit difficult to negotiate. I just want to do it myself Movies, let’s make a porn movie, I want to ask if Brother Wang is willing to invest in it.”

"What script? Bring me here to take a look?" The fat pig man in sunglasses reached out for the script, flipping through a few pages indiscriminately, "Waiting Alone, Chen, Liu Rong, huh, romantic comedy? It's not bad, it's worth investing in. Tell me, how much money does this film cost?"

Wan Xiaohu was overjoyed: "Brother Wang is ready to invest?"

"Can you tell me how much it costs first?"

"It's like this. I have two plans. One is to shoot formally, shoot with 35mm film, hire formal actors, second- and third-tier ones are fine, and the cost can be controlled within 300 million. The other plan is to shoot with DV, Similar to a TV movie, the cast can be simpler, 100 million, no, 80 I can make it. What does Wang Ge mean?"

The fat pig man in sunglasses stroked his chin, stretched out his head and asked, "Little Tiger, do you really want to make a movie?"

"of course."

"Okay, if you are courageous, I won't go around in circles. My brother will invest. That's okay. I'll shoot 300 million regular troops. But, there are a few small requests, and I have to agree to my brother."

0005【My bottom line】

Upon hearing the request, Wan Xiaohu frowned. The reason why he first went to the regular film company to inquire instead of directly asking the sponsor to make a film was because of this.

Donors are not all stupid. They invest in other people's movies, and there will always be such needs.

"Brother Wang, tell me."

The fat pig man in sunglasses took a sip of his coffee, took off his sunglasses, and smiled wretchedly: "First, get a role for my brother, the protagonist is unnecessary, just play a secondary role. Play a big money, what do you think?" Sample?"

"Success." Wan Xiaohu immediately agreed, this request was not a request at all.

"Secondly, I recently met a god-sister. She is good-looking and has a temperament. She is a student of the acting department of the Central Opera. I have been planning to make a movie for her a long time ago, and praise her. How about it, Xiaohu? Help, let her play the heroine. If you agree, I will call her immediately."

"This..." Wan Xiaohu hesitated.The two most important roles in a play are the leading actor and the leading actress. He must choose the role according to his own intention, otherwise he will only mess up the movie if he randomly chooses someone who can't act.

"Why, Xiaohu, you don't even agree to this simple request? Brother, I'll give you 300 million yuan to make a film for you. Isn't it just to choose a heroine? She's not stupid and can't act. Student, why are you ashamed?" The fat pig man in sunglasses was upset.

Wan Xiaohu gritted his teeth, thought for a while, and then nodded: "Brother Wang, I promise that as long as she meets my requirements, I will choose her!"

"That's right." The fat pig man in sunglasses reached out and patted Wan Xiaohu's shoulder, "I have a third request..."

"Brother Wang, the movie really can't be tampered with anymore." Wan Xiaohu almost jumped up, two requests were not enough, and a third request was raised, and the movie had to be changed.Movies may not be popular in the first place, and if others twist them indiscriminately, the filming will still look like a hit.

"Don't get excited, don't worry, I won't interfere with the content of the movie. You guys are all hypocritical, art is paramount. As for me, it's just a small request. I know that there is a girl from the performance department of the 99th class of Nortel Her name is Huang Xiaolei, she looks quite to my taste, but this girl is a bit spicy, how about you, just cooperate and help me get her, how about it? This request is very simple, right?"

"I'll get her for you. How? Brother Wang, you pick up girls, but I don't know how to do it."

"Hey, why are you so stupid? Aren't you going to be a director? Just pull a few small roles and set up a fairy dance for her. No matter how chaste a woman is, she has to be sent here obediently!"

What does this mean?

Pimp me?

Wan Xiaohu's face was a little gloomy, and he suppressed his anger and said, "Brother Wang, you are a rich man, right? If you like her, you can directly launch a courtship offensive. Why use these unsightly means?"

"What method do I use? That's my choice. I asked you whether you want to invest, and whether you want to be a director when you are young. Isn't it just playing a female student? Push three obstacles and four obstacles!"

"Brother Wang, can you stop mentioning this? I really can't do this kind of thing."

"Can't do it?" The fat pig man in sunglasses slammed the coffee on the table, splashed it, and said in a fierce tone, "I'm telling you, Wan Xiaohu, don't be shameless. If you want to attract investment to make a movie, you have to follow the I'm right. Just pretend to be aloof, and I'll make it clear today, if you can't get Huang Xiaolei, don't even think about taking a dime from me!"

The expression on his face was a little cloudy and uncertain, just like Wan Xiaohu's heart now, not so peaceful.

Biting his lower lip, Wan Xiaohu exhaled foul air and asked, "Brother Wang, do you really have nothing to discuss?"

"Negotiate ass, either follow through or get out, my patience is limited!"

"Brother Wang, I also have my bottom line."

"Shame on your face, right?"

Wan Xiaohu's face darkened, and his tone hardened: "It's not a matter of face, it's a matter of principle. I, Wan Xiaohu, can solicit investment in a low-key manner. I don't care if I get angry or suffer some losses. But let me I cheat others, sorry, I can't do it! Brother Wang left his words here, and I will leave my words here today, "Waiting Alone" will be a success, if Brother Wang is willing to invest, then I will get a piece of my capital with interest I'll give it back to you, if you have to make these boring demands, then everyone has nothing to talk about!"

Wan Xiaohu never thought of himself as a kind person, or a good person who likes to help others.But he is not a bad person either, he has his own persistence and principles, he doesn't care about some small tricks within the principles, if the bottom line is exceeded, then I'm sorry, let's talk about it!

This is the temper of his two generations, and he can't change it!

I don't want to change either.

No matter how lofty or arrogant, he still appreciates his temper!

Is it still a man if you have no temper?

Wan Xiaohu was furious, while the fat pig man in sunglasses was so angry that his fat fingers were almost pointing to Wan Xiaohu's face: "Push your nose on your face, right? I don't know if it's because I'm usually friendly with you guys." What is your surname? Wan Xiaohu, Wan Xiaohu, you know, I hang out in this area every day, and almost all the rich people you know are my buddies. I don’t invest, don’t worry, no one will invest in you Are you worthy of playing tough with me?"

"Ha ha!"

Wan Xiaohu smiled suddenly: "You people have completely opposite thinking from people like me. You think that you can play around the world with a little money. Let me tell you, you can't buy art with money, at most you can buy a piece of art. It's just a work of art. I, Wan Xiaohu, do art, so I really have a sense of arrogance, you can't bend my waist with money!"

"It doesn't matter if I bend your waist or not, as long as I break your path!"

"Go ahead and cut it off, I don't mind. It's just a little investment, I, Wan Xiaohu, don't care about it!"

"Hmph, it's easy to play you to death, Wan Xiaohu, just wait and see!" The fat pig man in sunglasses put on his sunglasses and left arrogantly.

Wan Xiaohu didn't say anything else, he finished his coffee silently and asked the waiter to come over to pay the bill.

"Chenghui, 188 yuan."

"So expensive? Is there a discount?"

……

Wan Xiaohu stubbornly messed up the 300 million investment, and when he left the cafe, he regretted it for a moment.Just like the fat pig man in sunglasses said, the few financial backers he knew had a good relationship with him. In a word, Wan Xiaohu's idea of ​​investing could indeed be wiped out.

The film and television company can't get investment, and the funder can't get investment. Does "Waiting Alone" really have to wait?
