"Dead Place" is a script that Yan Haiqing spent several years polishing. For this reason, he also interviewed many retired anti-drug undercover police officers, and was granted a special license to follow up and interview a border anti-drug team.
Such a main theme script is the type that he wanted to write when he was young, but his writing skills were not enough at that time, but now he can proudly say that "Dead Place" is his best work over the years.
Yan Haiqing spoke out so confidently, and there was internal news that the script had been supported by the top, and all the capitalists were eager to hear it.
Master Yan is not worried about the lack of investment, nor is he worried that the crew will not be able to pull it up, but after the actor was settled, he really felt that he could no longer pull the crew so slowly, so he finally entered the next process - negotiating with interested employers .
After years of development in the film industry, there were only a few investment oligarchs in the beginning, and now investment companies and star studios have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain. More and more capital has entered the film and television market. There are more and more projects, and accordingly, directors and screenwriters who have projects in their hands have more choices.
Well-known screenwriter Yan Haiqing's works have always been funded by people, and more than that, the employers are begging to cooperate with him with money and favorable conditions. Who doesn't want to split the cake for a profitable project!
As soon as the project of "Dead Land" broke out, countless employers came to the door. Among them, Hengsheng Capital's generous and "unreasonable demands" successfully attracted Yan Haiqing's attention.
Hearing the statement from the manager of the other side that "the appearance setting of the first male lead in the script must be changed", Yan Haiqing was about to laugh angrily.
After he became famous for many years, it was the first time that he saw a capitalist pick on his script.
What's up with the first male protagonist? What's wrong with looking down on the fat man? Such a connotative fat man, these laymen know shit! This connotation of fat has an important connection with the plot, so don't talk nonsense if you don't understand! ! !
In the face of Yan Haiqing's dynamite keg-like temper, the manager of Hengsheng Capital said calmly: "We made this request for the sake of Mr. Yu's health. Mr. Yu has gastroenteritis, and his daily diet is very careful. , it is impossible to gain more than 100 pounds in just a few months, and to be honest, it is very embarrassing for Mr. Yu to set the appearance of the first male protagonist."
"Secondly, unless it's a comedy, the audience now has strict requirements on the appearance of the protagonist of the movie. I don't think you want your hard-written script to be released in the end, but you will be applauded because of the appearance of the first male protagonist. You must I hope more people can see your story, and more people can be educated by following the crowd."
As a screenwriter, Master Yan has more of a literati temperament. In the face of a professional manager who is good at negotiation, he is left speechless by the other side's words, and he actually thinks, "Oh, this young man speaks quite well. Makes sense".
No, no, no, you must not be brainwashed by a few words, a literati should have the integrity of a literati, Master Yan stubbornly said: "You are just arguing, if Xiaoyu can't gain weight by himself, you can wear special makeup, and , Even if Xiaoyu is fat, he is also a very cute fat man, maybe his fans will like to see his fat appearance, and the box office is a big hit."
After all, after all, is, who, strong, word, seize, reason, it!
If it wasn't for professional ethics, the managers would want to put the words "strong words" on Yan Haiqing's face.
Yan Haiqing used his writing (strong) people (words) gas (capture) section (reasoning) to repel professional managers, and then attracted the behind-the-scenes boss - Xue Chengxiu to come to the door in person.
Master Yan said that his heart is very tired, Hengsheng Capital is very rich, and he is discriminating against fat people by picking noses and eyes on the protagonist in his script!
"Mr. Yan, Hengsheng Capital and you once had a very pleasant cooperation experience. We have no doubts about your ability to write scripts. The modification of the appearance of the first male protagonist is at my personal request." Xue Chengxiu His expression was serious, but it was different from the seriousness of the previous professional managers.
The two were talking about the same thing and had the same purpose, but in the eyes of Master Yan, he was more willing to talk to Xue Chengxiu. This is probably the so-called literati's intuition.
The manager of Hengsheng Capital had also told him about Yu Siyang’s gastroenteritis before, but Xue Chengxiu talked about this matter even more, and Yan Haiqing felt that he was about to be persuaded. The character setting, of course, is only close.
"Mr. Xue, I understand all the issues you mentioned, and I have communicated with Xiaoyu himself. If his body shape is not up to the requirements, he is also willing to accept special effects makeup." Yan Haiqing said with a reserved appearance, "Tell me the truth with you. , Wu Wenjing's character has a prototype, and his appearance setting is also one of the important dramas. Xiaoyu was originally not in my consideration, because he was too thin and did not fit Wu Wenjing's character setting. ."
"Then why did you decide to let him play the role of Wu Wenjing?" Xue Chengxiu asked.
"Because the dishes he cooks are particularly delicious." Yan Linchen, who was watching on the sidelines, said the real reason frankly and eloquently.
- Master Yan was bought by a meal, who would believe it if he told me!
Xue Chengxiu: "..."
Yan Haiqing: "..."
"Who said it's because of this, it's because of his good play, good play!" Yan Haiqing blushed and glared at his nephew, wishing to kick his nephew out.
Yan Linchen nodded: "His acting is really good. He is as thin as a bamboo pole, but he can act like a fat man with his acting skills."
Yan Haiqing's face was finally not so hot and red, and he nodded solemnly, pretending to be old-fashioned - yes, that's why he chose a bamboo pole to play the fat man, the show is good.
"However," Yan Linchen took another turn, "I think that Yu Siyang's acting is good and his cooking is good, each accounting for half and half of the reasons."
Yan Haiqing: Why don't you chop Dao Lei and chop up this stupid nephew now
Xue Chengxiu: Master Yan's nephew is really honest.
Master Yan, who was "betrayed" by his nephew, could no longer maintain his reserved personality, and the angry Master Yan simply broke the jar and said to Xue Chengxiu, "If you like investing, invest, if you don't invest, you will lose, anyway, I will not change people. Suppose, Xiaoyu is also very willing to play this role, hum-" You can figure it out for yourself.
Xue Chengxiu was silent, and finally understood why Yan Haiqing's company was sold due to poor management several years ago. He is really a literati who can do whatever he wants. It is not easy to work with such literati. The premise is that he has the right appetite. Obviously, His own child should have voted for him.
"I understand, funding is not a problem. If you want, I will directly ask the person in charge of All Star to communicate with you. All Star has some experience in film and television production and should be able to help you build a crew, especially special effects makeup. aspect."
Yan Linchen said he was stunned. He didn't expect that Hengsheng's chairman acted like his uncle. So does he have to study hard
Yan Haiqing immediately regained his literati restraint, nodded slightly, and said arrogantly, "It's not too bad. However, your people can only give opinions, and can't make decisions for me without authorization."
Xue Chengxiu nodded and agreed, "So, I'll go first, I'm so disturbed today." After speaking, he left.
Yan Haiqing's uncle and nephew looked at the closed door and couldn't recover for a while.
It seems that he has the upper hand, but it doesn't feel good at all.
"Ah—" Yan Linchen suddenly shouted.
"Why, you want to scare me to death." Yan Haiqing said angrily.
"Uncle, you agreed to Hengsheng's capital injection for no reason." Yan Linchen turned out the project book previously sent by Hengsheng Capital, "and according to the conditions you gave, if the other party's funds come in, it is initially estimated to account for a percentage of the total investment. Sixty, at that time, Heng Sheng will be the boss with the most right to speak, and you also promised to use the distribution channel of All Star Entertainment, uncle... you... festival... mourn... "
"I-I-I-I-I have a promise?" Yan Haiqing was a little stunned, thinking about it carefully, he seemed to have been tricked.
"Uncle... Festival... Sorrow..." Yan Linchen stuffed a cup of hot tea into Yan Haiqing's hand with a sad face, and still didn't forget to complain: "No wonder Dad said that you are not a business person, I finally know why your former company was sold. Now, grandpa is right, you will really be sold and you will pay for the number of people."
Yan Haiqing: (╰_╯)#
I really want to throw the tea in my hand on my nephew's face!
Also, what does his father and his brother mean, secretly speaking ill of his son (younger brother) to the younger generation, is this what the elders should do
Hengsheng Capital has become the largest investor in "Dead Land", and Master Yan is also a multi-faceted partner of All-Star Entertainment, using All-Star Entertainment's film and television production and distribution industry chain, and there is news that the first male protagonist of "Dead Land" has been set. Yu Siyang of Star Entertainment.
Staring at the cake of "Dead Land" from all walks of life, the employers who have prepared knives and forks are embarrassed.
It is not only the management who are staring at the script of "Dead Place". Various brokerage companies, studios, and well-known and unknown actors are trying their best to connect with Yan Haiqing's team, or work in various management offices. Waiting for the news of the audition from the crew, I didn't think that the first male lead had already been decided.
After getting the exact news, many people were strongly envious, jealous, and hateful towards Yu Siyang. They didn't even decide on the director, but the male lead was decided first. Almost everyone thought that All Star Entertainment had appointed Yu Siyang to play the role. male lead.
Even All Star Entertainment's own artists think this way. They feel that the company is allocating good resources to Yu Siyang. For a while, the company was also surging with undercurrents, and in private, he used obscure language to say words that were very connotative and easily misunderstood.
The entire entertainment industry seems to be surging with the ambiguous vision of "I saw through a secret, but I won't say it, although I won't say it, but everyone knows it".
Then there was internal news that it was actually Master Yan who first chose Yu Siyang to play the male lead, and then decided to let Hengsheng Capital invest and use the channel of All Stars.
Everyone was amazed, this Yu Siyang's energy is already so great
