Chapter 8 Boot and Soundtrack
When he returned to the dormitory, Zhang Jingyu was not asleep yet. Lin Yao pushed the door and couldn't help but ask strangely: "I'm still so energetic after calling all night?"
Zhang Jingyu didn't say anything. Lin Yao put a basin of hot water from the bathroom to wash his feet. He rubbed his feet and looked at another person in the room and laughed.
Zhang Jingyu put down his cell phone and asked sideways, "The contract has been agreed? Didn't the lion speak?"
Lin Yao still laughed, Zhang Jingyu tightened his chrysanthemum, quietly tucked the quilt, and said impatiently: "Are you sick?"
"This is happy!" Lin Yao said while wiping his feet, "This kid doesn't seem to know our situation, and the price is relatively reasonable. It's just that if the box office of the second part exceeds one billion, I will get half a point, which is unexpected!"
"Get half a point after over one billion?" Zhang Jingyu stretched his neck, showing a surprised expression at first, but soon calmed down, "If it really can exceed one billion, it's not impossible to give it. If it really passes, I'll draw it from the share of the first script."
Whoosh ~
Suddenly, a ball of white stuff flew over, and the towel that wiped his feet was thrown on Zhang Jingyu's face. Lin Yao walked to the window and pulled the curtains and opened the window, and asked, "You fucking look down on me! We are still like this? If you can come out with me, will I make you suffer a loss?"
As soon as the window opened, the noise outside the house came in with the light. Zhang Jingyu looked back and looked at it. At the end of his eyes was the most prosperous area of the Film and Television Street. Not only were there many little gods in the film and television industry, but even the leader was also located there.
He stared at him silently for a while, as if time had stopped, and as if something from afar had evoked his memories.
"Let's go to bed, the next time is the time to get really busy!"
...
With Lin Yao's licence, Xu Yan came and went freely in the crew. At one or two noon, the contract was drafted, and Xu Yan also got the 70,000 yuan manuscript fee in one go as he wished.
Seventy thousand was already a lot, he left five thousand, and the remaining sixty thousand was called to his parents. In this fight, Xu Kui and his wife, who were in the Demon City, were also shocked.
I made tens of thousands of dollars in less than a week after going out? Is it really so profitable to film?
Couldn't you do anything illegal?
This is the parents of ordinary families who are happy that their children make a lot of money, but are worried that they will not go the right path.
Xu Yan explained and also took pictures of the contract and sent it over, but the contact person in the micro chat edited for a long time, but he still didn't see the information.
A long time later, Xu Kui sent the money back and called and said he didn't want it, asking Xu Yan to keep it himself or return it to his classmates.
This operation really made Xu Yan very angry. Xu Wu recovered again and it was a lot of money. The family had already become broken, and she still pretended to be strong here.
Xu Yan beat him again, then he let Xu Kui accept it.
"I'm really stubborn, I'm stubborn everywhere!"
As the sun sets, Xu Yan came back from outside cursingly. Many staff members of the crew were preparing to go out. When they saw this young man, they greeted him very kindly.
Gone are the previous questions and the vision of newcomers. As strong as Editor Zhang, he is willing to be his assistant. This position is already covered by one hand in the crew.
And this person seems to have only been on the crew for two days!
"The editor is back!"
Liu Hao touched his head and smiled, saying that he was similar to others, and as Xu Yan's status rose, he became more enthusiastic.
Maybe this is to avoid washing the underwear?
Xu Yan was both amused and said angrily: "Don't call me that, I always listen to it like a feces!"
Liu Hao leaned against the glass door and said disapprovingly: "Even if you have defecation, you will be the most fragrant in the pit!"
Xu Yan's mouth twitched, "Damn it! Can you stop disgusting me? If that's the case, I'll change my underwear tonight!"
Liu Hao stood at attention and his mouth was closed, just like a door god.
Lin Yao came out of it and glanced at his stupid scene record, and was full of disgust. He was not interested in asking what he was doing. Now he was only thinking about the script.
"After dinner, let's take a look at the films that you can keep and give up. Editor Zhang and I thought, if possible, try to finish the film in mid-May, so that we can probably catch up with the mid-year period in June."
In China, there are three periods that are very attractive, namely mid-June, National Day, and New Year.
It is the end of March now, and it only takes two months to complete the full schedule. It is quite difficult to make a fine movie in two months. Fortunately, the foundation can really reduce the time a lot.
After listening to the crew's budget, Xu Yan pondered for a moment: "If you are in June, hurry up and work overtime tonight, and I will give you a script tomorrow."
...
The nervous and orderly work is underway, and no one will notice the crew at the end of the street, because no matter whether they move or not, it actually has nothing to do with Daya.
After all, movies that are well-received every year appear on the streets. If this year's mid-range film is in Jiangnan Film and Television City, it will definitely not escape this law.
However, others didn't pay much attention to it, Yan Ying was a little interested in the end of the street.
In an office, a beautiful woman dressed in gorgeous clothes was sitting on the sofa playing with her cell phone, while a middle-aged man was answering the phone.
He had a strange sarcastic expression on his face: "Lin Yao started filming again? He couldn't even recruit a few extras, so how could he start filming?"
"It's true that the filming started, I only found out today."
"I heard they were recruiting screenwriters? They were found so soon?"
"It seems that, I occasionally glanced at it, and the new screenwriter still seems to be what we don't want."
"Hahaha, that's it! Then don't worry about them. Ask where our actors are, it's almost over, why haven't the person come yet?"
"Okay, Mr. Huang, the actors he hired this time are famous for being a big name. He has a big air. If he can come, he has to show Liu Bei's attitude of visiting the cottage three times."
"If you urge me, the celebrity airs are not used like this."
Mr. Huang hung up the phone in dissatisfaction, and his legs crossed his head and shook it again. When he turned his gaze to the woman in the office, his previous boredom was wiped out.
"This time, the publicity fee alone cost more than 20 million. There are also popular actresses like Wang Xixi participating in the performance, so it is a bit difficult to play."
The woman stood up and swayed and smiled, "And I am there. When my acting skills are revealed, I will be sure to be astonishing as everyone else!"
"hehe……"
...
Zhang Jingyu is a very serious, responsible and capable screenwriter. Xu Yan has his help. The script, which was originally budgeted to end at two or three in the morning, ended more than an hour in advance.
Zhang Jingyu held the script under the lamp and said excitedly: "This is the marquis I want!"
Lin Yao also smiled because he knew that he could finally turn on the computer again.
And this credit actually came from this unknown college student next to him.
"Xiao Xu, have you asked what we were filming before you came? Otherwise, how could you take out the script so quickly?"
Xu Yan rubbed his eyes with his hands and said, "It's a coincidence. I had this story when I first went to college. I originally wanted to write it into a novel, but gradually became addicted to the life of college and the wine that was full of lights and wine, so the matter was left to nothing."
He added shamelessly in his heart, "The things about cultural people cannot be called copying, I am laying the foundation for the future expansion of the earth, and I am crying!"
Lin Yao and others naturally didn't know about his thoughts, and Lin Yao was only a little surprised: "So you are still planning to become a writer!"
Xu Yan was stunned, a cold face and a white feces fork flashed through his mind.
"Yes, I'm actually a writer!"
In fact, there is not much difference between screenwriters and writers, they both play word games, so Xu Yan is not bad enough to say this, so neither Lin Yao nor Zhang Jingyu noticed the passionateness between his words.
The script problem is solved, the crew, oh, no, it's the crew now, but the name has not been changed yet.
Everyone was very excited when the crew started the filming. All the actors they had made before came back. Xu Yan took a rough look. There were no big-name actors here, they were all unknown.
At first he was a little worried, but later he saw several protagonists completely relieved when they were playing.
"Hey? It's strange, why do I connect fame and acting dedication?"
Fame does not mean acting skills. Xu Yan is well aware of the truth, and director Lin Yao also said that he would not invite big names, and he would not consider even if he was famous.
This may be because of the pay or personal style. After all, I didn’t ask big names to participate in the previous movie.
On the fifth day of rebooting, the first script was completely completed. This one was developed with the East Factory as the main line and the Marquis's battle for hegemony as the hidden line.
The pornographic spy, who was originally very outstanding in the TV series, did not surpass the other three in the first part, but made its mark in the second half, laying the foundation for the second part.
This is Xu Yan's first attempt to change the TV series into a movie. He tried his best to recall the details and the viewing feeling, and tried his best to recreate the peak of martial arts.
Of course, whether it is a movie or a TV series, a good soundtrack can add points, and Xu Yan took the focus back from the script.
That afternoon, it was already midnight when the crew came back from work. The lights in the office were still on. Lin Yao was very surprised. When he opened the door, he found someone sitting in front of the computer wearing headphones, listening to something with an intoxicated look on his face.
Lin Yao did not disturb him, and quietly sat on the sofa next to him waiting. After waiting for a while, he fell asleep.
It was time to ring the bell in the morning when he woke up again. He found himself covered with a quilt and the air conditioner was turned on.
He was stunned for a long time, and the picture in his mind was confused and kept frozen in Xu Yan's appearance with headphones.
He found Xu Yan in the bathroom. Xu Yan was brushing his teeth, and he asked:
"What were you doing last night? You didn't even notice me when I entered the door?"
Xu Yan's mouth was filled with bubbles, and he sprayed everywhere as soon as he spoke:
"What's not doing? It's just that the martial arts drama is not so exciting. I tried to make music last night."
Lin Yao seemed to be frightened and shouted: "You can still make music?"
Xu Yan smiled and couldn't see his teeth, and it was all bubbles.
"A little bit, just a little bit!"
Chapter completed!
