Chapter 5 "Ming Gong" crew
"11:11:11!!! I'll go, buddy, you actually came in at this time!"
As soon as he stepped into the door, Xu Yan was shocked by a scream before he could even look at the miserable crew.
"What the hell?"
He almost left the small room, but his backward body seemed to be held back, and it seemed to be leaning against the wall. He saw a small flat head with a round head holding him with a smile, and the more honest the smile was, the more honest it was.
"You, are you?"
"I'll introduce myself. My name is Liu Hao, and it's the scene of our crew!"
Liu Hao smiled approachable, and his words also brought into the relationship between people. He just met him and he was like this.
Xu Yan was flattered and was almost invited to take his seat.
The conditions inside the house are as cold as outside, not that they are dirty and messy, but that they are too simple.
A small square table of one square meter, three chairs, and two pots of fortune-telling trees are the arrangement of the entire crew. As for the several offices inside, Xu Yan didn't dare to think about it.
"It's so shabby!" he murmured in his heart.
At this time, Liu Hao poured him a cup of tea with a smile on his face, and found that the other party was looking around, and he felt a little leaked in his heart, and quickly spoke to attract attention.
"What do you call me? Are you here to apply for a screenwriter? You can be a screenwriter at a young age. My buddy has a bright future!"
He asked and praised him. To be honest, he was afraid that the applicant would leave directly, after all, their rankings were really not good.
Xu Yan has been to many crews on Earth, and has seen it from the big brothers in the industry. There are also those who are unwilling to rate Douban. Anyway, there are some disappointments, but they are not yet at the point of leaving directly.
He took the tea politely, and Xu Yan smiled: "Hello, my name is Xu Yan, I am here to apply for a screenwriter."
"Where did you graduate? Do you have any past grades?"
Unlike Yan Ying, Liu Hao did not take out his resume list, but asked directly.
Xu Yan said: "The Hua Chuan has no past achievements for the time being!"
"Hua Chuan? You are from the same school as our Director Lin! All the old seniors are, haha!"
Liu Hao tried his best to make himself and the crew look easy-going, as if he was here for an interview.
Xu Yan was so blocked by the other party's words that he couldn't speak. Now it seems that this job is probably stable.
He thought of Liu Hao's position and couldn't help but say strangely: "Brother Liu, isn't the crew filming today?"
Liu Hao was stunned. It was not about this problem, but about that title. It seemed that his service was OK, so he called me brother.
He said happily: "The crew is filming, just take a simple scene, whether I can go or not."
After a few simple conversations, Xu Yan still asked: "Brother Liu, did I pass the interview?"
After hearing this, Liu Hao glared and asked, "Or why can you still be here?"
Xu Yan took a deep breath, Mom, don’t you give me two questions to see my story-making ability? And you didn’t mention the benefits!
"Is it possible to sign a contract?" he asked after him.
Liu Hao looked up at the electronic watch on the wall and said, "When Director Lin comes back, I will pass it here. If Director Lin agrees, then you can sign the contract!"
Well, I’m so happy!
Xu Yan fell silent and looked at the simple crew again. Just now, Huangmao said that he was kicked out by Yan Ying. What's going on?
As he thought about it, he unconsciously locked his eyebrows. This subtle normal action had no meaning in his eyes, but in Liu Hao's eyes it was amazing!
Could this guy be disappointed with the crew?
Damn, I finally came to the interview and was still a top student in Huachuan. How could I let this go?
No, I have to find a way to stay!
"Senior Brother Xu, seeing you are so young, I must have just graduated. Then you must have met our Director Lin! I remember that we were our Director Lin at the opening ceremony of the New Year's Eve Gala. Do you still remember?"
"I was in my sophomore year two years ago and I didn't apply for the qualification to attend the meeting, but I saw Director Lin on the school's official website."
Xu Yan answered perfunctorily, he had no idea where Director Lin came from, and he didn't even understand what the other person called him.
But just so happened that Liu Hao accidentally revealed some news. He rubbed his hands excitedly and said proudly:
"Yes, the official website has been published. In fact, Director Lin was really glorious the year before yesterday. The box office of the premiere exceeded 50 million, and in two days, the total box office was frozen at 660 million. At that time, it swept almost all the same period! If Cheng Yaojin hadn't appeared halfway, he would have won at least two or three awards at the annual ceremony!"
"Tell you secretly, I was there when I was filming!"
Liu Hao whispered proud words, and his bright eyes narrowed into a slit when they smiled, looking very honest.
Xu Yan took out some memories of his predecessor from his memory. Well, he knew about this movie, and he had watched it on his mobile phone after it was released, but who was the director?
When he recalled, Liu Hao thought he was shocked. When he was complacent, he stretched out his head with sharp ears and ran out with a whoosh the next second.
Immediately afterwards, laughter came back from outside:
"It's over, it's over! I'll start meals quickly, I almost starved to death!"
"Die mouse is hungry and doesn't know how to go to the next door to steal food? Just wait for us to serve the meal!"
"Your name is mouse, can you please not add the word "death" in front of it? Don't think that you are a martial arts profession and I dare not hit you!"
There were laughter and laughter, and in a short while, inside and outside the house were filled with joy.
Xu Yan stood up to welcome the crew back. The people who came in were first surprised, then smiled and greeted each other, and finally entered the innermost office.
Liu Hao and a man wearing a hat came in. From the order of appearance, it can be seen that this person is undoubtedly the director.
"Director Lin, this is the screenwriter who is here to interview today. I have asked all the questions. See what else needs to be added?"
Liu Hao introduced Xu Yan's situation again. Director Lin's tired eyes flashed a few glimmers, and finally said with a smile:
"Are you a junior? Who is the professional teacher?"
"Wang Heng."
Xu Yan told the teacher of Earth that he had gone to the school’s official website to verify that there was such a teacher in Huachuan. He was not afraid of calling to verify that so many students could not remember.
"Oh! I've seen each other a few times!"
Director Lin nodded, took out a few pieces of paper to wipe his face, and then smiled, "If you have any questions, ask the mouse. If you have any questions, prepare to sign the contract! Screenwriter Zhang is not here for the time being, and I guess he will be back in one or two days and will connect with you at that time."
After he finished speaking, he hurried into the office inside with a videotape. Liu Hao smacked his lips and said to himself: "It's like this every day. Can't you watch it after eating? I know you're anxious, but isn't it even more urgent to eat?"
After saying that, he introduced Xu Yan to welfare benefits and specific work content.
Xu Yan nodded while listening. This would be like a real interview, and it seemed like a relationship before.
Through the introduction, he learned about it. Because the director and screenwriter were not very satisfied with the plot, he was preparing to make a major change.
Therefore, Xu Yan’s next job is to write the screenwriter’s idea into a script, 4,000 yuan a month, including food and accommodation; if the movie is released well, there will still be bonuses or something.
The bonus is a big cake, and Xu Yan didn't pay attention.
Yue Siqian is barely acceptable to the newcomer, and he agreed without much consideration. After all, except here, other crews seem to have no screenwriters.
After signing the contract, Liu Hao felt relieved and patted Xu Yan's shoulder heavily and said happily: "Good brother! You will be my brother from now on! Let's sleep together tonight, I'll pinch your back!"
“???”
Xu Yan looked question-marked, was he joining the crew or the kiln?
"Ah? Don't get me wrong, I'm talking about the same dormitory as our two!"
Liu Hao hurriedly explained that the crew recruited newcomers and was brought in by him. Not only was it happy, but it also felt very accomplished.
Because the crew is short of people now, let alone whether this person is good or not, let’s talk about it first.
There is no need to say much about Liu Hao's enthusiasm, but Xu Yan still subconsciously shrank back. He looked at his phone and said, "Brother Liu, I'll go get my luggage. I've just arrived here for a few days and my luggage is still stored at the high-speed rail station."
Liu Hao also glanced at his phone: "The meal is coming soon. I just ordered one more for you, so I will leave until I finish eating?"
I have to admit that the crew gave me a very nice feeling. Everyone here seems to be an old friend who has been away from for a long time. They are polite when they meet and have no airs of an old employee at all.
This is not only Liu Hao, but also others. Xu Yan began to wonder, why did this crew get kicked out of Yan Ying?
It’s impossible to say that they are not dedicated. Once they come back and don’t rest, they will just watch the films they shoot today. The meal time is also discussing what details can be changed. Are these all pretending?
It is unlikely that their level will be low. The box office of 600 million is moving forward. Not to mention being a man, at least you can nod to meet and nod, right?
Xu Yan couldn't think of other reasons, probably because of some rules in the industry! It's no wonder, all kinds of strange reasons are possible.
After joining the company at noon, after a meal, Liu Hao insisted on driving with Xu Yan to get his luggage. Xu Yan couldn't resist the enthusiasm and could only let him follow him.
There was some traffic jam on the way back, and Liu Hao started to mess around again. Xu Yan was speechless and really didn't want to listen to those nonsense, so he asked:
"Brother Liu, our script outline has not been fully implemented yet, right?"
When Liu Hao mentioned this, he suddenly withered. He sighed: "The outline has been concluded, but there are still some things to be changed in the second half. Screenwriter Zhang has been trapped by his own script these days. He wanted to break his head but didn't think of a plot that satisfies him. Now, Director Lin asked him to go out for a walk and relax."
"Absolutely, I'll be back tomorrow afternoon!" Liu Hao raised his head and thought.
Xu Yan nodded secretly. It is normal for him to be trapped in his own script and cannot get out. As the saying goes, "I don't know the true face of Mount Lu because I am in this mountain." This is what I meant.
Generally, at this time, the author has to find a way to struggle to get out, otherwise he will get deeper and deeper and he will not be able to change it. Even if he changes it, it will become unrecognizable.
