The library is obviously not a place for serious business.
After returning the phone to Lin Mengmeng, Hao Yun followed the suspicious guy outside the library.
Stopping at the door of the hall, the middle-aged man turned back to look at Hao Yun, took off the peaked cap and sunglasses on his head, smiled friendly and said.
"Please allow me to introduce myself. My name is Tian Tian."
field
Damn it? !
When I first saw this face, I thought it looked familiar, but after looking at it for a long time, I couldn't remember where I had seen it. Now when I heard the name, Hao Yun reacted instantly.
"Are you the... director who made The Knight?"
"That's right," Tian Tian held out his right hand and said with a modest smile, "but that was all many years ago."
It's been quite a few years indeed.
If I remember correctly, my father seems to be his fan
According to Hao Yun himself, his impression of the movie The Knight is somewhat vague. He only remembers watching it when he was in junior high school.
Holding Director Tian's right hand and shaking it, he said somewhat confused about the situation.
"It turns out to be Director Tian, nice to meet you..."
"No, I'm so lucky to meet you here! Before I came here, I thought you were a teacher in school, but I didn't expect Mr. Hao to be so young... Uh, may I ask, you haven't graduated yet, right?"
"It's true that I didn't graduate."
Rather than saying that I haven’t graduated, it’s better to say that I just came to university soon…
Seeing the "attentive" look on the great director's face, Hao Yun was confused for a moment as to what this guy was planning to do.
Just as Hao Yun was sizing up Director Tian, the other party was also sizing him up.
Looking at the young face in front of him, the director, who must be in his forties, couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
When he was young, he never even thought about becoming a director, let alone setting up a company of his own.
If I think about it this way, my life before the age of thirty is simply in vain...
"I'm sorry for not saying hello to you before coming here, but I really have no choice. I have sent several private messages on Yinke.com before, but I didn't get a reply, so I thought of coming here to find you directly."
Facing that sincere gaze, Hao Yun was a little confused.
Damn it
How did this guy find himself here
With an unnatural expression on his face, Hao Yun subconsciously glanced around and asked in a lowered voice.
"How do you know... I just don't know where to go?"
Hearing this sentence, Tian Ye was also stunned.
He looked at him up and down in disbelief, and then he said with a strange expression.
"...To be honest, I only know it now."
Hao Yun: "...?"
Looking at the question marks written all over Hao Yun's face, Ye Ye smiled bitterly and continued.
"I went to Yunshenshi's personal homepage and found out that he signed a contract with Yunmeng Media, a subsidiary of Yunmeng Group. Then I flew to Jiangcheng. However, when I found the office of Yunmeng Media, I found that There was no one there at all...but there were two CEOs of Yunmeng Games and Yunmeng Investment."
"Then I checked the registration address of Yunmeng Group and found that the registration address was actually Jiangcheng University, so I planned to come directly to find you. Then when I asked for directions just now, I met a boy wearing glasses, whose surname seemed to be Chen? Anyway, as soon as he heard your name, he pointed me to the library, and then I came over."
The company's registration place is public, as is the name and photo of the legal person. However, Hao Yun never expected that this guy could actually find him based on this clue.
As for the contract signing information filled in on Yun Shenzhen's personal homepage, it was temporarily changed by him in order to trick a talented agent with a potential of 6 into signing a joining agreement.
Damn it, what a shitty director with such investigative abilities!
You might as well become a detective.
"But...even if I registered the Yunmeng Group, how did you know that I was from Yunshen?"
Tian Ye rubbed the back of his head with an expression on his face and said awkwardly: "I didn't say you were in the clouds... didn't you tell me this yourself?"
The air was slightly quiet.
Seeing that Hao Yun didn't speak for a long time, Tianye coughed lightly and continued talking in an attempt to resolve the embarrassment.
"Aren't artists' accounts generally managed by companies? I just wanted to trouble you from the beginning and see if you could introduce me to that expert who has never seen the beginning of the dragon... Who would have thought that that expert would be you? .”
"But to be honest, you're hiding it too deeply. I really didn't expect that Yun Shen Zhi Chu Chu and the CEO of Yun Meng Group are actually the same person."
A subsidiary of the company I registered signed myself up.
Not to mention reading it out loud, just thinking about it is quite difficult to pronounce.
It's no wonder that no one has ever known Yun Shenwen's true identity in reality. Just thinking about how he managed to hide it from so many reporters makes Tian Ye feel filled with admiration.
However, Hao Yun's mood was not so good.
Realizing that he seemed to have done something stupid, he spoke awkwardly.
"...can you keep it a secret for me?"
"Don't worry, I won't tell anyone else!"
Seeing the sincere look on the great director's face, Hao Yun sighed softly and said.
"So...what do you want to see me for?"
Tian Ye nodded and took out some thick printing paper from the briefcase he carried with him.
"This is the script I plan to use for my new movie, although it is only the first draft..."
Watching Tian Ye hand the script to him, Hao Yun hesitated for a moment, but still reached out and took it.
"Luoyang City"
After casually flipping through the outline of the script, the expression on Hao Yun's face became even weirder.
Isn't this the lyrics of "Fireworks get cold easily"
Of course, I can't say it's all true.
Because there is no book "Luoyang Jialan Temple" in this life, and the history of various countries in the world is slightly different from his previous life, so many places were made up by the screenwriter using his wild imagination, and the background of the story simply used the feudal feudal system. The history of that period added some settings of gods, monsters, and chaos, but it unexpectedly fit in with the turbulent history of his previous life during the Southern and Northern Dynasties
The rest of the script has not been read yet, so Hao Yun is unable to rate the script for the time being.
But if you just read the synopsis, he might not really want to go to the cinema and buy tickets...
Tian Ye had been carefully observing the changes in Hao Yun's expression, and seeing that he had read the outline of the script, Tian Ye continued to speak while the iron was hot.
"You may have discovered that this script is inspired by the song "Fireworks Are Easy to Cold", so I would like to discuss with you to see if I can buy the license for "Fireworks are Easy to Cold"... I plan to use it as the soundtrack and ending song of the movie .”
Deciding on the ending song first and then shooting the movie is quite arbitrary.
Hao Yun closed the script in his hand, looked at him and said.
"I don't have any objections. I just want to ask how much money you plan to pay for this license."
Anyway, as long as you have money.
How did the movie turn out, and what does it have to do with me
Facing the question posed by Hao Yun, Ye Tian thought for a while and then spoke.
"Due to the employer's affairs, the budget of our crew is still a little tight. Let me tell you frankly, according to Xia Guo's current market conditions, the price of a movie ending song is generally between 100,000 and 200,000. Considering If the traffic of the song "Fireworks Yi Leng" reaches its peak, I can offer 1 million—"
"make a deal!"
The way Hao Yun agreed immediately made Tian Ye stunned.
After a few seconds, he regained consciousness and coughed slightly, then continued with an awkward expression.
"...That, I haven't finished talking yet."
"It's okay! Tell me, I'm very satisfied with the price! Have you brought the contract? If so, let's sign it!"
If it weren't for the fact that there was no table here, Hao Yun would have been so enthusiastic that he couldn't help but want to pour tea for this guy.
That’s one million!
And all he needs to pay is to sign the contract.
Although Yunmeng Games has made some money now, this does not prevent him from seeing money.
After all, who wants less money
Seeing Hao Yun's enthusiastic look, Tianye felt embarrassed for a while.
But some things must be said clearly after all.
"As I said just now, our crew's funds are very tight, and we may not be able to squeeze out the money for a while..."
"It's okay! I don't mind waiting. You can also write an IOU first and give it to me after your movie is released. It's no problem!"
Hao Yun felt that he was still easy to talk to. If he didn't have money, he could still owe it. Anyway, he was not in a hurry to use it for the time being. If he had an IOU, the money wouldn't escape if he left it there.
However, Tian Tian's expression became even more embarrassed after hearing this.
After hesitating for a while, he spoke.
"This IOU... is a bit difficult to handle, because there is a fixed process for budget approval. What I mean is that we can actually trade in another way."
"Another way?"
Hearing these words, Hao Yun was stunned for a moment, feeling that things were not as simple as he imagined.
As if confirming his suspicion, Tian Ye nodded and said sheepishly.
"Yes, we really can't afford to pay directly, but we can price the fireworks at 1 million, and then the 1 million will be counted as your investment in our film..."
Hearing these words, Hao Yun was instantly dumbfounded.
"You mean... it's equivalent to me investing in you with this song?"
Seeing that Hao Yun understood what he meant, Director Tian immediately nodded, "That's right!"
Hao Yun couldn't help but said: "Isn't this free prostitution?"
"How can you say it's free of charge?" Hearing someone say that he was free of charge, Tian Ye's face immediately turned red and he defended, "1 million will participate in the box office share... When the box office results come out, won't you be rich? Can't you? Hopefully it can become 2 million or even 3 million."
Hearing this sentence, Hao Yun couldn't laugh or cry for a while.
"What if we lose the money?"
Tian Tian looked a little embarrassed and added in a low voice.
"Don't worry about this. We can sign a limited liability agreement. If you win, you will share the money. If you lose, you won't have to worry about it."
Gan!
Doesn’t this amount to a blank check
Hao Yun gritted his teeth and asked without giving up: "I only want 500,000...what if I don't participate in the share?"
Tian Ye helplessly spread his hands.
"I'm really... I'm so sorry! To be honest, I believe that this song that touches me is worth far more than half a million or even one million. If I can afford it, I will definitely give it to you, but in our budget It’s really hard to squeeze out even a drop.”
Although the movie hasn't started shooting yet, every budget has been allocated to where it will go.
If such a large amount of expenditure suddenly occurs now, it will inevitably affect the subsequent shooting work, which will ultimately be reflected in the quality of the film.
This is something Tianye doesn’t want to see anyway.
Looking at the hesitant Hao Yun, Director Tian sighed and tried to persuade.
"Actually... if your psychological expectation is only 500,000, I think you can completely accept my proposal and regard this song as an investment in us. You should have read the outline of the script. As a professional filmmaker From a perspective, I can tell you for sure... It’s hard to say whether it will be popular or not, but you will definitely get a share of 500,000!"
Seeing that he had said this, Hao Yun let out a long sigh.
"Okay, let's do as you say."
No matter what, this song came by accident anyway, so it would be great if it could sell for one million.
What if the movie becomes a hit
Isn’t that blood money
Hearing this, Tian Ye looked overjoyed and quickly took out a contract from the briefcase he carried.
"Then look-"
"I will sign the contract, but I have to let a professional read it over before signing. Well, either you leave the contract here, and I will sign it and send it to you. Or you can work hard tomorrow and go to Chengnan to start a business. Over there in the park? My company is there, you should have been there before."
"No problem! I'll leave the contract with you first, and I'll go over there tomorrow. I should be here in Jiangcheng these days. I'll have free time tomorrow morning. It's up to you!"
The contract matters are over.
Director Tian did not stay here longer. After saying thank you twice, he turned around and left in a hurry.
Watching the figure go away, Hao Yun felt melancholy for a while for this huge sum of money that was "lost and found again, gained and lost again".
But at this moment, a line of light blue pop-up windows appeared in front of his eyes.
[Talent: A director who has exhausted all his talents]
[Potential value: 1]
Damn it
Since the potential value is only 1
And the prefix of this talent...
Can "exhausted talent" also be called talent
For some reason, Hao Yun felt a sense of sympathy in his heart.
This is probably the lowest potential value he has seen so far besides himself.
But it's no wonder, after all, Director Tian is a bit old. Even if he once created a genre and laid a solid foundation for Xia Guo's martial arts movies, that is a thing of the past...
He shook his head slightly, and just when Hao Yun was about to look away from his back, a line of light blue dialogue box flashed in front of his eyes.
[Mission: Win this year’s box office championship]
The moment he saw this task reminder, Hao Yun was stunned.
If he remembered correctly, it was already September.
Even if we assume that filming starts tomorrow and is released in early December, there will only be less than 80 days of filming...
Not to mention it is a box office champion, whether it can catch up with the schedule in early December is a question.
After looking at the so-called first draft of the script in his hand, Hao Yun didn't know what kind of expression he should put on at this moment.
or…
Should we let this mission go
