Chapter 5
"Why are you all looking at me?"

After Li Mu finished speaking, he saw his parents and uncle were staring at him, so he asked.

Liu Xiaohui wondered, "Is this still my son? I almost don't know him anymore."

Li Yuan said: "You can try it, there is a possibility of success, but what kind of assistant director are you, do you know what a director is?"

Liu Xiaowu said: "Come here for a meal, and it made my blood boil."

Li Muxian returned to his father and said, "It's not easy to be a director? Just as long as the filming and the picture in mind can match."

After speaking, he turned his eyes to the face of the old uncle Liu Xiaowu, and continued: "Don't patronize the blood boiling, old uncle, this matter really depends on you, I will give you the script in a while, you go to Yan Factory manager."

Liu Xiaowu immediately backed down and said, "Xiao Mu, this matter...you know, uncle, I am an honest person, and I am not too quick-spoken. Don't mess up your affairs, or I will take you Why don't you talk to Director Yan in person? The point is that the old uncle is not sure."

Li Mu put down his chopsticks, and said earnestly, "Old man, if you want to make a career, you have to try it if you are sure or not. You are absolutely sure. How can it be so easy? Tsinghua University and Peking University are not as good as it." If you are courageous, it is better to dare to break into Harvard and Yale."

"Because the opportunity comes out of nowhere, how can it be calculated? Be bolder, seek wealth and insurance, dare to think, persevere, have a thick skin, and surely succeed. If you kill him a billion, we will retire."

Li Yuansheng: "?"

Liu Xiaohui: "??"

Liu Xiaowu: "???"

……

The next morning.

Office of the Director of the Western Film Group Management Committee.

After the establishment of the Western Film Group, the original position of the director of the Western Film Studio has become history, and now it is called the director, but the old employees are still used to calling Director Yan the director of the director.

Holding the script in his hand, Liu Xiaowu knocked on the door of the director's office.

"dong dong dong"

"Enter!"

"The factory manager."

"Well, Xiao Liu, what's the matter?"

"My nephew, Li Mu, wrote a script for an action movie. Cheng Long happened to be filming in the Museum of Terracotta Warriors and Horses these days. My brother-in-law showed Cheng Long the script. Buy it at the highest price, and the filming of "Mythology" will start as soon as it is finished, and he will be the protagonist, with an investment of at least 5000 million."

Liu Xiaowu was extremely nervous. He memorized his lines all night, and now he said them all in one breath.

Only then did Yan Yiyun raise his head, and his eyes fell on Liu Xiaowu. Liu Xiaowu felt tremendous pressure.

"Keep talking!" Yan Yiyun said.

Liu Xiaowu went all out.

"Director Yan, what my nephew means is that he is afraid that he will not be able to handle such a big project. For Xijing filmmakers, Xijing Film Factory is his mother's home, so he hopes that the factory can come forward and jointly invest in this film with Cheng Long. .”

"What you are holding in your hand is the script you mentioned?"

"Yep."

"Let me consider."

"Okay okay."

After Yan Yiyun received the script, he didn't read it directly, but asked: "Cheng Long wants to buy it at the highest price in the market, and he also wants to play the leading role in person?"

Liu Xiaowu said: "It's absolutely true."

"Sit down first, I'll read the script."

"Ok."

Only then did Yan Yiyun open the script.

He knew Liu Xiaowu, a very honest employee, but what he said was too mysterious.

How about reading the script first.

The plot is not complicated.

The protagonist is a retired secret agent who neglects his wife and daughter because of work, causing his wife to divorce him, and his daughter has long-term conflicts with him.The daughter was rebellious and traveled abroad with her best friend without authorization, but was arrested. According to the previous style of this organization, the protagonist only has 96 hours to find his daughter, otherwise he will lose her forever.

Although the plot of the story is quite simple, it excels in the fact that the details are extremely realistic, and what is especially rare is the excellent rendering of the atmosphere.

Especially the scene where the daughter is hiding under the bed makes people's heart jump into their throats.

Chased and killed for thousands of miles, just to save his beloved daughter.

On the plane, the protagonist listened to the phrase "good luck" that the group who captured his daughter said before leaving again and again, which made Yan Yiyun very moved when he read it.

The protagonist came to the city where his daughter was captured, and followed her daughter's footsteps, starting from the airport to search for clues, then the hotel, and then the red light district.

As time went by step by step, and as more and more evidence showed how vicious these people really were, and as the protagonist followed the clues to the red light district, the well-informed Yan Yiyun couldn't help but begrudgingly for this character in the script. I am deeply worried about the fate of my daughter.

"call!"

Four or ten minutes later, Yan Yiyun slowly raised his head.

"What else does your nephew say?"

Liu Xiaowu stood up immediately, and when he heard the factory director's question, what his nephew said yesterday suddenly flashed through his mind.

"You need to be more courageous. Tsinghua University and Peking University are not as courageous, and Harvard and Yale are not as good as daring to enter."

After meditating, Liu Xiaowu raised his head resolutely and said: "Director Yan, my nephew said he wants to be an assistant director and wants me to be an editor, and he has to agree on the final editing rights. I think I am an employee of Xiying. Xiying invested and sent me It's totally fine when editing."

"My nephew also said that he is very optimistic about this movie. Cheng Long said that he would pay him 30 yuan for the screenwriting. He hired an assistant director. The assistant director's labor fee will be 20 yuan. He will put all the 50 yuan into the movie. , when the movie hits big, he waits for the money."

"As long as the factory can agree to these two conditions, and can come forward to negotiate with Cheng Long for the right of assistant director and final cut, then he will do his best to facilitate this cooperation—if Cheng Longfang is not willing, he can terminate the cooperation, and then Find a new partner and replace Cheng Long's starring role!"

After speaking, Liu Xiaowu's heart beat wildly.

"It's better to be bold than Tsinghua University and Peking University? Is the old man brave enough this time? You only need 30, and the old man will give you another 20. If you say it's a big deal to terminate the cooperation, the old man said that Cheng Long disagreed and changed it." Cheng Long! Is the old uncle domineering or not, is he courageous enough?"

"And the implication of replacing Cheng Long is that even Cheng Long can be replaced, let alone the West Film Studio, which is declining?"

Yan Yiyun laughed after hearing this, and said: "Your nephew is quite domineering. If Cheng Long disagrees, he will replace Cheng Long. What if Xiying Studio disagrees? You won't go to Xiying Studio?"

Liu Xiaowu became dumb immediately.

Yan Yiyun smiled and said: "Okay, you go back first, I will study and study."

Liu Xiaowu nodded and exited the office, only to realize that he was sweating profusely when he came out.

In the office, Yan Yiyun held down the phone on his desk.

"Xiao Wu, inform the senior management of the group to hold a meeting, and the time is set for one o'clock in the afternoon."

After hanging up the phone, Yan Yiyun opened the script in his hand again.

"Yes, the script is really good, especially the leading role is played by Cheng Long - suitable, Cheng Long is indeed the best candidate for the leading role."

West Film Studio once co-produced "A Chinese Journey to the West" with Zhou Xingchi. At that time, West Film Studio could be regarded as the best, but unfortunately the final result was not very good, and the box office of the movie was not high.

But at that time, the leaders of the factory didn't like the script of "A Chinese Journey to the West", thinking that it was all nonsense.

I remember that time when Zhao Jiping, as a staff member of the producer West Film Studio, even felt ashamed and refused to enter the recording studio, and even bluntly said: "Please, don't reveal my name, I can't afford to lose this person!"

At that time, after reading the script, most of the leaders of Xiying Studio felt that it was just nonsense, what the hell.

Many old employees of Xiying Film Studio still feel that the script is too bad, and what kind of spoofing the "Four Great Masterpieces" have become.

But at that time, considering Zhou Xingchi's prestige in the film industry and for the sake of money, he finally decided to co-produce.

But this time is different, Cheng Long also has great influence in the film industry, otherwise how could he be able to film in the No. [-] pit of the Terracotta Warriors and Horses?Although people have complained about box office poison recently, but this time the script is really not bad at all, at least it is not as controversial as that time, last time the box office was not high, but this time it is not good, this film Played by Cheng Long, he has a trick.
