China Entertainment Zero Two Ordinary Actor

"Buy a script? How did you come up with this idea?"

"Well~ Why not?" Fan Jinsuo moved closer to Fang Yu.

"Oh, it's not impossible. It's just a little unexpected because I only use my own scripts and no one has ever bought them from me, so~" Fang Yu looked at Fan Jinsuo, "You want to buy a script, how about a budget?"

Fang Yu had a lot of TV dramas and movies that were produced after 15 years in his mind, both high-end and low-end. If the price was right, he could really sell one, all he had to do was talk and type.

"One" Fan Jinsuo was about to say one million, but then he thought that for someone of Fang Yu's level, it would be rare to get one million for a script, so he immediately said, "Ten million?"

"Ten million." Fang Yu was stunned. He thought about the film and television works after 2016 and could think of many of them with general plot details. The box office fluctuated around 100 million, which should be worthy of his 10 million price for the script.

"Yes, I do, but my name cannot be used as the screenwriter's signature. It doesn't matter who else it is, just me."

Fan Jinsuo didn't understand what this meant. She tilted her head to look at Fang Yu. Fang Yu spread his hands and said, "The scripts I can sell to you for 10 million yuan don't have high ratings, but the return on investment shouldn't be a big problem. It's just that if the ratings are low, it will affect my reputation, so my name can't be used."

"Let me be frank." Fang Yu looked at Fan's ex-wife. "I'm an Oscar-winning screenwriter who won the Berlin Silver Bear and the Saturn Award. Even if I put my name on the screen without writing a single word, I'll get no less than this. But I'm careful about my reputation."

Fan’s ex-wife understood and nodded silently: "I see. But what if you are asked to be a figurehead?" She was actually testing the possibility of cooperating with Fang Yu.

"Just put your name on it. Let me think about it." Fang Yu briefly thought about the good movies he knew but didn't have the time to shoot, and then quoted a price, "30 million."

"thirty million"

Fan Jinsuo, who is ranked first among domestic female stars on the Forbes Celebrity List, did not feel the offer was expensive at all. Instead, after Fang Yu talked about his historical achievements, she felt it was very cheap.

"Just 30 million! Sell it to me! I want it!"

Fan Jinsuo said "I want" and Fang Yu's mouth twitched. "Okay, okay, no limit on the subject matter?"

"It's better not to have too many special effects." Fan Jinsuo thought.

"Do you want word of mouth or box office?" Fang Yu confirmed again and again.

"Then let's just rely on word of mouth."

"Okay!" Fang Yu thought for a moment and directly expressed his idea.

"The box office won't be very high. It's a comedy with a sci-fi theme. The shooting cost is very low. It doesn't need any big names. It requires higher acting skills from the lead actors. As for word of mouth, don't worry. Douban will not be lower than 7.5."

When he heard that Douban got 7.5 points, Fan Jinsuo's eyes lit up!
She has been acting all her life, but there are only a handful of movies that have scored above 7.5 points, so Fang Yu's movie with a score of 7.5 will be one of the key factors in turning around her reputation in the film industry!

Otherwise, she wouldn't have taken on a film like Feng Xiaogang's I Am Not Madame Bovary, which was clearly aimed at word-of-mouth, after taking on such a crappy film like Jue Ji.

Although the rating of "I Am Not Madame Bovary" is not high, it is at least better than "Jue Ji" with a score of 3.8.

In a quiet study room in the villa, Fang Yu walked in with Fan Jinsuo.

Fan Jinsuo's cheeks flushed and his heart beat faster.

She thought Fang Yu brought her to the study room because he wanted to say something private or do something unusual.
Fang Yu closed the door gently, turned around, pulled over a chair, and motioned for Fan Jinsuo to sit down.

Fan Jinsuo sat on the chair with her hands twisted together unconsciously. She glanced secretly at Fang Yu, her heart full of confusion and expectation.

However, Fang Yu's next move was completely beyond her expectations.

He turned on the computer and began typing rapidly on the keyboard, his expression focused and serious.

Fan Jinsuo watched this scene, and the surprise in his eyes gradually replaced his previous shyness.

"Write on the spot?" Fan Jinsuo finally couldn't help asking, with a barely perceptible hint of disappointment in his voice.

Fang Yu did not answer immediately. His eyes were still focused on the screen. His fingertips danced on the keyboard, making crisp tapping sounds.

After a while, he replied: "Well, I'll send it to you via QQ when I finish writing it."

"It's that simple?"

"It's that simple." Fang Yu shrugged, "What else do you want?"

"Ah! You sent me the 30 million script through QQ? There's not even a paper version?"

"Why go through so much trouble? You can save it on QQ cloud disk and take it out to watch at any time. How great is that."

Fan Jinsuo was stunned. He never expected that Fang Yu didn't care about such things.

"Oh, right." Fang Yu looked back at Fan's ex-wife, "Just transfer the money to my godmother's company card. Her company can handle this range of business."

Fan Jinsuo showed a confused expression on his face: "Ah? Can't I just give it to you privately?"

Fang Yu stopped tapping, turned around, and looked at Fan Jinsuo seriously: "I want to handle this work through formal channels and use my godmother's company's account. This will be good for both of us."

"what?"

Fan Jinsuo looked at Fang Yu in surprise, as if she was looking at a fool, and Fang Yu also looked at her as if she was a fool.

This little bit of money is negligible in terms of an entire career. If Fan Jinsuo knew what would happen next, he would not look at Fang Yu in this way.

Speaking of Fan Jinsuo's withdrawal from the entertainment industry and the reorganization of the industry, we actually have to thank three people.

In addition to Fan Jinsuo, there are Feng Xiaogang and another key figure of a younger generation - Xiao Cui.

Back in 2003, Feng Xiaogang made a movie called "Cell Phone".

There is a character named Yan Shouyi, who is a talk show host. The story is about some lifestyle issues.

The audience thought that this was just a joke about Xiao Cui's "Ten Words, Ten Sayings"? Was it hinting at something?
Xiao Cui was a famous figure at that time, and this incident made him very embarrassed. Even his family members were implicated. He lost his appetite and became depressed, which corresponded to the lines in the skits at that time.

Feng Xiaogang is also a charming guy.

When filming this movie, he specifically asked Xiao Cui about some of the things he encountered in the hosting industry. Xiao Cui was quite enthusiastic and shared a lot of his own experiences.

But when the movie came out, Xiao Cui was dumbfounded!

How the hell is this a movie about borderline news? And why does the setting of the protagonist in it feel like a metaphor for myself?

He felt that he had been fooled by Feng Xiaogang.

Feng Xiaogang and screenwriter Liu Zhenyun did not give him an explanation, just treating it as a joke, but Xiao Cui felt that the joke was a bit too much, but at the time there was nothing he could do and he could only swallow his anger. This series of events made the grudge between Xiao Cui and Feng Xiaogang even deeper.

Later, Feng Xiaogang wanted to shoot "Cell Phone 2"
Xiao Gang publicized the incident extensively, and the events of that year were dug up again, causing Xiao Cui to be hurt again.

Xiao Cui felt that Feng Xiaogang and his colleagues not only did not give him face, but also used his affairs to make money. He could not swallow this.

The trigger was a Weibo post by Fan Jinsuo.

When Xiao Cui saw the promotional content about "Cell Phone 2" posted by Fan Jinsuo on Weibo, he instantly became furious!

He felt that Fan Jinsuo refused to admit his mistakes and was still smug.
This incident completely pissed off Xiao Cui.

So, he decided to stand up and expose this matter so that everyone can see the mess in the entertainment industry.

He immediately started to attack on Weibo.

Fan Jinsuo received a salary of 3000 million yuan when filming the movie "The Bombing".

Upon checking, there is more than that.

Moreover, she paid all taxes, late fees and fines within the specified time, so she will not be held criminally responsible according to the law.

This matter caused quite a stir, and later new regulations were introduced to clarify the legal consequences of tax evasion.

This incident can be regarded as a wake-up call to the entertainment industry.

It also sounded a wake-up call to Fang Yu, a reborn person, and told him not to covet these red line interests at all.

Now Fan Jinsuo is still complacent and has no idea the seriousness of the matter. Fang Yu is too lazy to explain.

With a slight smile, he turned back to the computer screen, his fingers jumping on the keyboard again.

Fan Jinsuo sat quietly aside, watching Fang Yu concentrate on his work, and couldn't help but feel a sense of respect in his heart.

In the study, except for the sound of typing on the keyboard, everything seemed exceptionally quiet.

Fan Jinsuo's mood gradually calmed down. She began to admire Fang Yu's concentration and professionalism. At the same time, she also found her previous misunderstanding a little funny. She wondered how could someone of Fang Yu's status do that kind of thing here?

Of course, it's not impossible if you really want to do it.

However, the hostess of the villa may have to be replaced.

Fang Yu's fingers were rapidly tapping on the keyboard, but the computer was a little slow, which was why he had to talk about the second-hand computer he bought on Zhuan Zhuan a while ago.
"Cough, cough, cough!"

Fang Yu coughed twice, and Fan Jinsuo was frightened, "What's wrong?"

"It's okay, it's okay, don't worry so much, I just choked on my own saliva."

"Chossed on your own saliva?" Fan Jinsuo was stunned for a moment, "Then shall I pour you a glass of water?"

"No, no, it'll be there in a moment."

Fan Jinsuo looked at the word document on the computer, took a quick look at the word count, and saw that it had reached more than a thousand words.

He wrote a thousand words in just twenty minutes, and those words were all related to the plot and character settings, which stunned Fan Jinsuo!
The script of a play is going to be released so soon?

Seeing the title, she was a little confused, "Cosmic Editorial Department? Is this a science fiction story? Does it require a lot of green screen scenes?"

"No, no." Fang Yu immediately shook his head.

"In fact, what I wrote is a very absurd comedy. The science fiction part only appears at the end. You can even shoot the rest of the time with just a DV."

Fang Yu didn't finish what he was saying. In fact, when he first came up with the idea of ​​making a movie, "Space Exploration Editorial Department" was one of the several plans he had.

This is because this film does not require too much cost, and the entire film can be shot with just a handheld DV.

However, since the filming location had to be in the mountains and it would take a month to shoot, Fang Yu didn't have the energy to do so and gave up.

But this film is definitely a masterpiece, and the 8.0 score on Douban proves this.

The box office is just not enough, only more than 60 million. Of course, the box office is related to the quality of the film, but not much. As long as it is well operated, a low-budget movie with a box office of tens of millions can also have sales of over 100 million.

The reason why the film is low-budget is not just because the shooting cost is low. Sometimes it is because there is not enough money to operate. If there is no money to operate, there will be fewer films, and if there are fewer films, there will be less box office. If there is less box office, big stars cannot be invited to participate, so there is no exposure, and then a vicious cycle.
anyway.

Fang Yu typed the last line on the keyboard, "The protagonist. Tang Zhijun. Finally, he saw the alien creature. The thing he has been obsessed with all his life has finally come to fruition."

“In this world, it exists.”

"alien!"

Snapped!
Fang Yu pressed the enter key, and the manuscript of “Cosmic Editorial Department” was officially completed!

"As for the character's lines, just write something casual and daily." Fang Yu instructed Fan Jinsuo, and then clicked on the QQ friend column to add a friend. "What's your QQ number?"

"Is 471 really just like that?" Fan Jinsuo watched Fang Yu add his QQ number and send the document over, but he still felt that this was a bit too simple.

Is this a 30 million dollar deal? Just deal with it like that?
Fan Jinsuo was confused and felt that it was not taken seriously enough.

Fang Yu looked back at the confused Fan Jinsuo and said with a smile, "I don't know if you have read that story. A famous crosstalk artist once received a phone call from a host of a children's channel during a program. She wanted to borrow money from the crosstalk artist. Guess what happened?"

Fan Jinsuo wondered, "What's wrong?"

"Then the comedian said, 'Oh! You want to borrow 100,000 from me? Why don't you just write something and sell it?'"

"Pfft! You said that on the show? Wouldn't that give the secret away?" Fan Jinsuo laughed.

"Hehe, this is the current situation in the industry. If my script is given to someone else to sign, it can be worth over a million or it can be worth nothing. But with my name on it, I say it's worth 30 million, and it's worth 30 million. Just transfer the money to my godmother's company, don't hesitate."

Fan Jinsuo nodded, thinking that he couldn't catch the gangster without sacrificing the child, and hummed vigorously, then looked at Fang Yu expectantly, "Then you, then can you act in this movie? I can."

As she spoke, she slowly approached. Fang Yu quickly dodged and glanced at the camera above his head. "Well, me, hey! Guess what! Look at what you said! This is enough to eat!"
