The day I got married with a big star

Chapter 907 Meet each other late?

Yu Zijian thought about it for a while, and after confirming his thoughts, he looked at Su Yun and said, "Xiao Su, can I trouble you to tell Mr. Xu that I have something important to talk to him about? It took a long time."

Just do it when you think about it. Indecision is not in his character, not to mention the examples of Zhang Weiqiang and Xu Shenghua, let alone spend too much time weighing the pros and cons.

Besides, solving the plot problem of the current movie is the top priority.

You must know that the movie "The Game in the Game" took him several years just to conceive it, and his expectations for this movie are very high.

Su Yun had been secretly observing Director Yu just now, and saw that the other party's eyes were firm, as if he had made a decision, and felt that she would not guess wrong this time, so she stood up and said, "Alright Director Yu, I'll go right now." Tell him to come out." After speaking, he gently opened the door, and said to Xu Jie who was sitting inside: "Husband, Director Yu has something important to talk to you about."

"Ok?"

Xu Jie turned his head to look at his wife, with a questioning look in his eyes, as if to say: I don't think I want to recommend someone again?
But he didn't want to go back, but he still stood up and said to his subordinates on the screen: "If you haven't finished eating just now, continue to eat, and if you haven't finished urinating, continue to urinate. I'll go talk to Director Yu and I'll be back in a while." .”

The people in the conference room didn't say anything, did they make Mr. Xu the boss?
Xu Jie came to the outer room, looked at Yu Zijian who stood up from the sofa, and asked with a smile, "Director Yu, what's the matter?"

"Mr. Xu, just now I heard from Xiao Su that you are the screenwriter of Jingshi Culture's favorite film? I will recommend you another director candidate..." Yu Zijian paused at this point, then straightened his clothes and asked: "What do you think of me?"

"you?"

Xu Jie was overjoyed, thinking that the old man Yu had finally opened up, and the dramas of the past few days were finally not in vain.

But acting requires a complete set, so in order not to be seen through by the other party, he still showed a surprised expression and asked: "Director Yu, you, are you joking?"

"Mr. Xu, you can joke about anything, but you can't joke about the movie." Yu Zijian said seriously.

"But Director Yu, you are such a freshman director, why would you choose to cooperate with a small company like our Jingshi Culture? Apart from joking, I really don't understand." Xu Jie said while shaking his head.

"It's actually like this. I've heard praises from directors Zhang Weiqiang and Xu Shenghua more than once, and I was a little tempted. Just now I heard Xiao Su say that you will be in charge of the story of this new film. I think this is It's a rare opportunity, or it may be that God also wants us to cooperate, so I let you appear in front of me and deliberately match us up, do you think I can do it?" Yu Zijian asked cheerfully.

"Okay, that's great!" Xu Jie finally stopped hiding the joy in his heart, and an excited smile appeared on his face.

Whether it's to let him solve the plot problem, or to want to cooperate with him after listening to Director Zhang and Director Xu, anyway, as long as the other party agrees to make a movie for Jingshi Culture, that's enough.

"Director Xu, let's put our ugly words first. You must be the screenwriter of the new film. If it's someone else, I won't agree." Yu Zijian emphasized again.

He made a movie for Jingshi Culture, and he went there for Xu Jie. If the story was not written by the other party, and the script was not edited by the other party, why would he make a film for Jingshi Culture, a company that has no sense of existence in the film industry? What about filming?

"No problem. In fact, I really want to cooperate with Director Yu, but it's just about the salary..." Xu Jie looked at Yu Zijian at this point.

As far as he knows, the remuneration of a long-established first-line director like Yu Zijian usually starts at 1000 million, which is even comparable to those first-line stars.

However, compared with the relatively fixed remuneration of actors, the range of ups and downs in directors' remuneration is relatively large.

If it is a script that he likes, the director will usually quote a reasonable price, even lower than the market price. position in the film industry.

But if the script is mediocre, in this case the director will usually not offer his own quotation, but chooses to listen to the quotation from the investor until the price is paid so that even if the director feels scolded, it doesn't matter.

Xu Jie has not yet written the script, so the salary is very difficult to discuss.

Of course, from his personal point of view, he naturally hopes that the less the reward, the better, but he also knows very well that it is impossible to lower than 1000 million. After all, his resume is there, how can he continue to cooperate after less?

If Beijing TV Culture wants to gain a foothold in the film industry, it is essential to have a good relationship with these big directors.

In today's society, relationships are more important than anything else.

There are too many examples of money alone being useless, and even having money that cannot be given away.

"Remuneration..."

Yu Zijian thought about it, because he will have to ask the other party to help solve the problems in the script later, so the remuneration must not be high. If it is too high, it will appear that his previous self-recommendation and desire for cooperation are hypocritical, and the other party helped him solve the problem before. But not a penny.

It is said that one code should be converted to one code in business, but sometimes it really cannot be done.

Yu Zijian looked up at Xu Jie, and said, "Mr. Xu, to tell you the truth, my director's fee for the movie "The Game in the Game" is 600 million. I know that your Jingshi culture is not rich, plus I really want to cooperate with you, so I don’t want the 600 million, what do you think of 2000 million?”

"Row!"

Xu Jie didn't think much, and agreed immediately.

The director's fee of 2000 million is completely within his acceptable range. Jingshi Culture is indeed not rich, but the director's fee of 2000 million can still be paid out, and the company wants to fully enter the film market, and there is no blessing from the works of major directors How?
With the cooperation with Yu Zijian, it will not be a problem to cooperate with other directors in the future.

"Then it's settled." Yu Zijian said happily.

Su Yun on the side smiled faintly. Although her husband's scheme had succeeded, Director Yu seemed happier than her husband. This was probably because he was sold and paid for.

wrong!

This should be called win-win!

Both parties are very satisfied with the current result.

"By the way, Mr. Xu, there is something I want to tell you in advance, which is my schedule." Yu Zijian suddenly remembered something, put away the smile on his face, and said: "The movie "The Game in the Game" There are still about two months to complete the shooting, and the post-production will also take about half a year, that is to say, I will not be able to join the team until August next year at the earliest."

He heard Mr. Xu mentioned the company's performance next year during a meeting before. He was worried that joining the team so late would delay the performance of Mr. Xu's company, so he told the other party in advance.

"No problem, I'll wait, I just use this time to prepare the script." Xu Jie said in a relaxed tone.

Yu Zijian can be invited, not to mention that it will start in August next year, even if it will start in August of the next year, he will wait.

Yu Zijian secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and then said: "Mr. Xu, in order to celebrate our cooperation, I invite you couple to dinner. I wonder if I can honor it?"

"Director Yu, look at what you said, you helped me solve the company's major problems, I should be the one who invited you, isn't it my wife?" Xu Jie looked at Su Yun who was on the side.

"Yes, Director Yu. In fact, I have always wanted to thank you for taking care of me these days." Su Yun said after hearing this.

"Mr. Xu, Xiao Su, don't argue with me, okay? I'm the director of the film crew, so you just listen to me today." Yu Zijian said.

For him, having dinner is fake, and asking Xu Jie to solve the problem is real. Under such circumstances, how can he let the other party treat him to dinner?
If the other party invites you to dinner, how can he ask questions at the dinner table?

Xu Jie and Su Yun looked at each other, nodded and said, "It's better to be respectful than to obey, then we will listen to Director Yu. Director Yu, wait for me first, and I will tell my subordinates."

"Okay, go ahead and talk, there's no rush." ​​Yu Zijian said with a smile, he has been waiting for a few days, is there still a few minutes left?
Xu Jie returned to the bedroom, this time the door was still open.

He looked at his subordinates on the screen and said loudly: "Hey, I have some good news for you. Director Yu Zijian has agreed to direct our company's next movie!"

As soon as the voice fell, the meeting room immediately boiled.

"Really? Great!"

"Mr. Xu is mighty. Even Director Yu can be invited. I don't even dare to think about it."

"With director Yu around, the film is already half successful. Not only will it not worry about the box office, it may even win a big prize."

Everyone was very excited.

It's the first time to cooperate with such a big-name director. It feels like a small family workshop has been upgraded to a professional factory.

Everyone finally had a feeling of entering the film industry.

"Okay, go to your own pleasure, I'm going to have dinner with Director Yu." Xu Jie said to his subordinates, and then he exited the conference room and turned off the computer.

At the same time, the whole person also felt a lot more relaxed.

From now on, I will never have to act in front of Yu Zijian again.

He put on his coat, walked out of the bedroom, looked at Yu Zijian in the outer room and said, "Director Yu, let's go."

"it is good!"

Yu Zijian took the lead and walked in the front, wishing he could teleport and appear at the dining table.

Because the three of them are all celebrities, there is a high probability that they will be disturbed if they go outside, so Yu Zijian directly chose a private room in the hotel where the crew stayed, and ordered a large table of delicacies from mountains and seas.

"Director Yu, it's costing you money." Xu Jie said to Yu Zijian. He stopped him many times just now, and said eight or nine times that was enough, but he still didn't stop him.

"Mr. Xu, you are welcome, we will have more opportunities to have dinner together in the future." Yu Zijian said.

Can he not know more?
But the more you order, the longer it will take to eat, so it's convenient for him to ask questions, isn't it?

The dishes were served one by one, and the three of them didn't just focus on eating. They first talked about the crew, then the actors, and finally "naturally" talked about the plot.

"Mr. Xu, I have been thinking about the five problems you listed for the past few days, and I have already thought of the solutions for three of them. How would you like it?" Yu Zijian made a big circle, and finally said The topic is on topic, and at the same time, the eyes are full of expectations, hoping that the other party can listen and express their opinions.

Xu Jie is not the kind of person who doesn't know what's interesting. Since the other party has agreed to direct Jingshi Culture's new film, in exchange, he will naturally have to help the other party solve the problem, and he must satisfy the other party. Otherwise, when the film is made in the future, the other party will Will you still do your best?
"Really?" Xu Jie put down his chopsticks, pretended to be listening carefully and said, "Director Yu, tell me, I'll listen."

Yu Zijian had been prepared for a long time, and immediately took out the piece of paper that Xu Jie had listed the questions for him from his pocket, and then answered each question one by one.

He thought of the answers to the three questions, one of which is the part that has been filmed, and two are the parts that have not been filmed, but these answers are not thought up by him alone, there are several assistant directors and screenwriters, The answer came to mind after many discussions.

Although these answers did solve the problem to a certain extent, he always felt that there might be better answers, and the person who could give better answers was Mr. Xu.

It's not that he doesn't trust the assistant director and screenwriter, it's just that he is full of expectations for Xu Jie.

There is a slogan that goes well: there is no best, only better.

He is not satisfied with the existing answers, he wants better answers.

This is not too much for a rigorous person, a person who pursues perfection, right?

Movies can be said to be the children of directors. Which parent does not want their children to be outstanding?
Of course, the answer given by the other party may not be as good as the answer he came up with with the assistant director and screenwriter, but he still wants to hear it.

The name of a man, the shadow of a tree.

He wanted to see if the other party was as awesome as Zhang Weiqiang and Xu Shenghua boasted.

Not once, and once may be a coincidence, who doesn't eat meat all year round?

This is not only a search for answers, but also a test.

So, while he was talking, he looked at the other person's reaction, trying to observe something from the other person's face.

Although Xu Jie didn't know Yu Zijian's thoughts, he had always been very serious about his work.

And the heroine of this movie is his wife, can he let his wife act in a movie full of loopholes in the plot?
Certainly not!

In fact, even if Director Yu didn't bite the bait in the end and didn't agree to direct the new movie of Jingshi Culture, he would still tell the other party the answer, but he had to wait until he left.

So after Yu Zijian finished speaking, Xu Jie also said the answer he had thought up. The two discussed and communicated together. In the process, they sought common ground while reserving differences to find the best answer.

Dishes are served hot to cold.

One hour……

two hours...

Three hours……

Su Yun looked at the time, and it was almost ten o'clock, but she looked at her husband and Director Yu, who were still very engaged in the chat. Sometimes one person talked and the other listened, sometimes you said something to each other, and sometimes Neither of them spoke.

Such a scene made her feel a little familiar. It seemed that it was the same scene when she had dinner with director Xu Shenghua.

Although it took a long time, she didn't feel impatient, and was even very happy and proud.

Being able to discuss the plot with a director like Yu Zijian is enough to show how good my husband is.

If the husband is not good, how can what he said attract Yu Zijian and get the other party's attention?
Time is walking minute by minute, neither fast nor slow.

Xu Jie was still discussing the issue with Yu Zijian, and accidentally caught a glimpse of Su Yun covering her mouth and yawning. Only then did he notice that it was already eleven o'clock.

This will not work!

Discussion is a discussion, but it is his bottom line not to disturb his nightlife with his wife.

"Director Yu, these are my personal understandings of this movie. Go back and discuss it with the assistant director and screenwriter. After all, I have only read the script a few times. They must know the story better than me." Xu Jie finished speaking After that, he yawned pretendingly, reminding the other party that it was getting late.

After Yu Zijian heard it, he sighed in his heart: Although the assistant director and screenwriter knew the story well, they were not as eye-catching as Mr. Xu when it came to looking at the problem.

If he had thought of a little test before, then now, after such a long discussion, he has been convinced.

Zhang Weiqiang and Xu Shenghua were right, this young man was indeed not simple.

It's strange to say that the other party is so young, and he can actually chat with him. You must know that even he, the assistant director and the screenwriter have never had such a co-production.

What he appreciates the most is that the other party can get to the point every time they speak, and say the most important things in the most concise words, which can be said to be his favorite.

"Mr. Xu, you don't have to be humble. I conceived the story of "The Game in the Game", and the things you said are deeper and more comprehensive than I thought. If I had known you earlier, I would have found another What are the two screenwriters doing to organize the story, just ask you alone."

After Yu Zijian finished speaking, he sighed, the filming of the movie "The Game in the Game" has already been filmed more than half, so we can't drive away the screenwriter and replace it temporarily, right?
However, when he thinks that he will cooperate with the other party in the next movie, his mood improves, and his heart is full of anticipation, and he even hopes that that day will come sooner.

The director's desire for a good script is like a man's desire for a beautiful woman. It is a kind of possessive desire from the bottom of his heart, and he has to be greedy.

After hearing this, Xu Jie also said: "Director Yu, although you are much older than me, when I discussed with you just now, I felt like I hated seeing each other later."

The problem has been solved, and the next step is to get closer to each other.

How to transform from a relationship of seeking and being sought to a relationship of friends is a difficult problem, a technology, and a science.

If you use it well, even if you miss it for a while, you will have a chance to stand up in the future.

Yu Zijian was slightly taken aback.

Yes, he did feel that way just now.

Sure enough, compared with those assistant directors and screenwriters, this person knew him best.

Yu Zijian stood up, holding the other party's hand tightly, for a moment he didn't know what to say, he only hated himself for not being younger, and begging the other party for help.

Xu Jie was frightened by Yu Zijian's gaze, thinking that the old man would have some ulterior motives for him, right?
He quickly pulled out his hand and said, "Director Yu, it's getting late, you should go back and have a good rest. I've been in Hengdian for the past few days. If you have any questions about the plot, let's discuss it further."

Yu Zijian was moved again after hearing it.

I thought to myself: This young man can do it!
