ace screenwriter

Chapter 19 Confrontation

Gu Yuren took a long nap. When he woke up, he saw Yuan Yuan wearing an apron standing at the table, setting the tableware. The sun shone in from the window, making his half-long hair on the front of his forehead turn golden, and his fair face It seemed to be covered with a layer of fluffy soft light.Gu Yuren was stunned for a moment, and seemed to remember where he was: "Brother, are you ready? I'm so hungry!"

Yuan Yuan turned his head sideways and grinned at Gu Yuren: "Okay, let's eat." He reached out and untied the apron, took it off, and hung it behind the kitchen door.

Gu Yuren went to wash his face, and walked to the table: "Wow, it's so rich, three dishes and one soup, I know this, Lion Head, senior brother, you are so virtuous, you will be blessed to be a sister-in-law in the future." Thumbs up, then quickly poked a lion's head with chopsticks, and couldn't wait to take a bite: "It's delicious!"

Yuan Yuan smiled and said: "You said that I am the best at it, so I did these few things, and they are relatively plain."

While eating the lion's head, Gu Yuren said, "It's okay, vegetarian is good, I can't eat too much meat. Brother, what's all this?"

"You know the stewed lion head. This is mandarin fish simmered in vinegar. This is blanched dry shredded. This soup is Wensi tofu." Yuan Yuan sat down and scooped up a bowl of soup for Gu Yuren.

"This is shredded tofu? Senior brother, your knife skills are amazing." Gu Yuren scooped up a spoonful of soup, took a sip, and narrowed his eyes contentedly, "Wow, it's so delicious! Senior brother, you must marry someone like me in the future." fans, I often go to your house to eat."

Yuan Yuan just smiled lightly: "It's okay, my mother's craftsmanship is really good, I only learned five points from her."

Gu Yuren's eyes widened: "Really? When can I taste my aunt's cooking skills? My mother only knows how to cook stews in her life. How can she cook such delicate dishes. I say you southerners are Not everyone lives so exquisitely, people look exquisite, and even eat so exquisitely."

Yuan Yuan rolled his eyes: "Do you mean that I look delicate?"

Gu Yuren chuckled: "Brother, you are exquisite and handsome!"

Yuan Yuan shook his head helplessly, too lazy to argue with him.

In June, the Shanghai Film Festival opened, and Wang Ruize officially premiered his new movie "Youth Never Dies" at the film festival.This type of youth film has a few things in common. The original novel must have been a big hit, and the leading actors are all popular young meat. Another topic director, selling some youthful pain, is enough to attract mainstream audiences. No matter whether the movie is good or not, the box office will definitely Over [-] million, the problem of earning more and earning less.

The director of "Youth Never Dies" is an actor who has changed careers, and the leading actor is a popular little fresh meat, plus a good-looking producer, the topic is hot enough.At the time of screening, Wang Ruize hired Shui Jun to raise the Douban score to 8.7 points, so the box office exceeded 5000 million on the first day of the screening.However, all kinds of bricks and rotten eggs followed. The audience shouted that they were fooled, calling it the worst youth film in history. Even with the hard support of the navy, the score finally fell below 6 points.But this does not prevent them from making money. Even though the movie is so bad, the final box office is still close to 3 million.Because they are in the film protection month, overseas imported films cannot come in, and the audience has a narrow range of choices.

This good result gave Wang Ruize great confidence. In July, "Crouching Dragon" in Wang Ruize's studio was launched with a high profile, and it was a topic on Weibo for two days.

On August 8, a not-so-small event happened in the Chinese film industry. Yicheng Cinema Line announced that it had successfully integrated with two other cinema lines. No. 1 in theaters, last year Yicheng accounted for 4000% of the national box office share, which makes it even more powerful.

At Yicheng's press conference that day, Gu Yuren, who had been silent for more than a year, made a high-profile appearance and brought his first time as a producer to produce the blockbuster costume movie "Qianlong". In the presence of the radiant Gu Yuren, the exquisite movie posters at the scene almost overwhelmed Yicheng's limelight, which was simply overwhelming.However, Yicheng did not have any dissatisfaction, and publicly stated that "Dragon" is the film they invested in.

The entertainment news that day was overwhelmingly covered by Yicheng and Qianlong.On the same day, the official Weibo of "Qianlong" released the pilot poster and trailer, and featured the leading actors Xiao Changliu and Gu Yuren. Gu Yuren forwarded this Weibo with a note: "I never left, Instead, I am preparing for the meeting ceremony to meet you all again, and you will see "Hiding Dragon"!"

As soon as this Weibo was reposted, fans immediately screamed: "Emperor Yu, you are finally out of breath!" Are you really going to stir up trouble?" "Tell me, did you go to hide and have a baby?" "Emperor Yu, Emperor Yu, I love you!" "..." Some teased, some confessed, Just didn't pay attention to the movie.

Yuan Yuan couldn't help laughing when he saw the comments on his Weibo, and sent a WeChat message to tease him: "Junior brother, your fans are so angry, can the movie be good?"

Gu Yuren said: "Hey, the filming has been done and the money has been spent. It's the investors who should be anxious. Don't worry, let's watch the show slowly."

Well, the co-authorship is not my own money, so don't worry, Yuan Yuan is still thinking about making money from the movie, and there is still a bad check of 10 yuan in it.

The pre-publicity of "Hidden Dragon" was done in a secretive way. Except for the title, director and protagonist, I didn't know anything else. This is the usual method of movie promotion. It needs to be lifted bit by bit to be attractive. .

The studio spends money to stir up this topic on Weibo for two days. It is very rare for Gu Yuren to update Weibo every day. He posts his daily life. Among them is a photo taken during exercise. He is wearing sports shorts, The upper body is bare, revealing a strong and well-proportioned figure, and the sweat rolls on the wheat-colored skin, which is full of sexiness and temptation.As soon as the photos were posted, there were all messages licking the screen.

Gu Yuren complained to Yuan Yuan: "I'm not selling movies here, I'm just selling myself. It's all Sister Ning's bad idea. My sacrifice is too great."

Yuan Yuan also saw that photo, it was a naked temptation, completely different from his previous Weibo style, it can be seen that the sacrifice made for this movie is really quite big.Then he comforted him with a smile: "Thanks for your hard work! If the movie makes money, I'll cook you a delicious meal later to compensate you." Yes, do more!"

After the publicity of "Hidden Dragon" came out, due to the lack of published content, no one has yet connected it with "Crouching Dragon", but it is impossible for Wang Ruize not to realize it.Within two days, Gu Yuren received a call from Wang Ruize, and Wang Ruize still maintained his face: "I didn't expect Yuren to start his own company as a producer, and he didn't tell me about such a big thing. It's too bad." Treat us as friends."

Gu Yuren smiled and said, "I'm just a kid, and I don't have any grades. I'm sorry to make you laugh. Congratulations to Senior Brother Wang, the box office of the movie Youth is very good."

Wang Ruize laughed dryly: "Thanks to everyone's blessings, it's not considered a loss of money. If you were to play the leading role, the box office would definitely be more than that."

"That's not necessarily the case, the audience may not buy my account." The implication is that the movie is bad, and I can't save the fact that it is a bad movie even if I go there.

Wang Ruize finally got impatient and went around in circles: "Is Yuan Yuan the screenwriter of the movie you filmed, Qianlong?"

Gu Yuren said bluntly: "Yes, I went to Teacher Lu's birthday party last year, and someone recommended this script to me. At that time, I was planning to go out alone, so I came up with the idea of ​​making a movie by myself. To be honest, making a movie by myself It’s really hard work, I admire you producers, it’s unbearable for you to put in so much effort.”

Wang Ruize said: "I don't know if you know, but Yuan Yuan once offended President Wu of Yingsheng. I'm afraid that your movie won't be shown in Yingsheng. This is a great disadvantage."

"Ah? There is such a thing, no one told me? How did Yuan Yuan offend Mr. Wu? What can I do? I have already made a movie. If I can't release it, the investor will scold me to death." Gu Yuren Playing dumb, pretending not to know anything.

Wang Ruize was a little unsure if Gu Yuren was really targeting him on purpose, and wondered if he really didn't know?

Gu Yuren continued: "Since this is the case, I consider myself unlucky. Yingsheng can't be screened. I can only find another company. I hope to recover as much as possible, otherwise I will lose all my money." Sheng can influence film producers, but cannot influence other theaters, after all, the major theaters are in a competitive relationship.

The only information Wang Ruize got from Gu Yuren was that he was filming Yuan Yuan's script, so he was in a very embarrassing situation for a film that had been filmed for almost a month. If you exceed the other party's level, you may not lose money. If you fail to exceed this level, you will fall and be unable to get up, and the investment of tens of millions will be in vain. I am the biggest investor in this movie; Stop filming and hurry up to change the script. It can’t be like writing a TV script and filming it at the same time. Once the TV series is a hit, as long as it sells, you don’t have to take the risk anymore. After the movie is made, it may not be watched by people when it’s released. All at your own risk.But how long does it take to change the script?Now that the movie is on, it is burning money every day, and it is losing money every day when it stops.

As the saying goes, "there is no arrow to turn back when you open the bow". Now Wang Ruize's situation is that he must stop the arrow after opening the bow. This kind of dilemma is not to mention how uncomfortable it is.

After much deliberation, Wang Ruize finally called Wu Chenggang for help.Wu Chenggang was a little annoyed that Wang Ruize didn't ask him to cooperate in this movie. Wang Ruize's wings became stiff, and he was no longer as obedient as he was at the beginning. When he encountered difficulties, he had to turn around and beg himself. He felt very relieved in his heart. Then he said: "You can decide for yourself, either stop and rewrite the script, or bite the bullet and continue filming."

Wang Ruize hurriedly lowered his head and made a fool of himself: "Brother Cheng, I was wrong. I've been too busy recently and I don't have time to accompany you, but I definitely didn't do it on purpose. You know I'm strong. You stand so tall, but I still It's just a small studio. I feel inferior in my heart, so I try my best to shorten the distance with you. Brother Cheng, can you understand my intentions? Also, after thinking about it, it must be Gu This kid Yuren is playing with us. He must know that Yuan Yuan was banned by you. Even if he doesn't know, can his manager Ning Xiuwu not know? So this kid is definitely provoking you on purpose. He looks down on me. Now, what's the matter with looking down on Brother Cheng, I can't swallow this breath no matter what, the more I think about it, the angrier I feel."

Of course Wu Chenggang knew about Wang Ruize's careful thinking, but Wang Ruize was willing to beg for mercy, he was very useful, no matter how hard his wings were, he still couldn't fly out of his cage: "I know about this, I will send two senior screenwriters to Help you change the script. As for the brat Gu Yuren, I will deal with him naturally, am I so easy to be fooled?"

"Thank you, Brother Cheng. I love you the most, Brother Cheng. I will fly back to Beijing tonight and wait for me at home." Wang Ruize kissed Wu Chenggang and hung up the phone.
