Wu Dong shook his head and said: "Boss Zhang is not interested in new shooting projects. His girlfriend said she doesn't want to suffer any more!"
"Who is it?"
The younger brother put down the storyboard and said dissatisfiedly: "That's fine if she doesn't take pictures, we're too lazy to talk to her!"
Wu Dong smiled and said: "There's no need to be angry. I just think it's appropriate to change the heroine. Trouble!"
"What's the trouble?"
The younger brother said disapprovingly: "To be honest, boss, what everyone sees in the short film you made is the plot, not the heroine!"
Wu Dong smiled calmly, he naturally knew it well. But again, changing the heroine would be a bit troublesome.
Although the coal boss surnamed Zhang was not interested in this filming project, he recommended another coal boss sponsor to Wu Dong.
After waving his brother out, he called the other party directly.
very smooth!
The newly contacted coal boss named Li seems to be quite interested in the film and television industry.
Wu Dong just briefly told the other party about the plot on the phone. The guy didn't bother much and directly asked how much the filming cost would be.
Another rich man!
Naturally, he was not polite and directly proposed to invite a relatively famous actress from the same province.
On the phone, he made it very clear.
The feature film shot this time looks very much like a kung fu educational film.
But in fact, the heroine needs to show many details of martial arts, and it is estimated that she will suffer a lot during filming.
The implication is very clear, if the other party also sends a girlfriend over, it would be best if she is the kind of person who has certain acting skills and can endure hardships.
The coal boss surnamed Li didn't even mention this. He obviously understood the implication of Wu Dong's words and had no intention of recommending his girlfriend to suffer.
That’ll be easy!
No matter how you say it, you are all a financier, so Wu Dong must give him enough respect.
On the same day, he set off for Jin Province, taking the script and storyboards with him to at least let the funder know that he was not deceiving people.
Sure enough, the financial owner surnamed Li was very satisfied with Wu Dong's attitude and was also quite satisfied with the storyboard.
From the storybook, it looks quite interesting.
Rich people are rich people, especially happy rich people are more generous and generous.
Wu Dong stayed in Shanxi Province for three days, and on the first day he signed a formal contract with the financial backer surnamed Li in the presence of a lawyer.
This guy didn't even send a financial dispatch. He directly expressed his trust in Wu Dong and let Wu Dong do the work on his own. He only wanted the finished product.
Then one million funds were directly transferred into the account of the audio and video studio established by Wu Dong. It was so simple.
Wu Dong was arranged to live in a local three-star hotel, where he was warmly entertained with delicious food and drinks every day, and was also taken to meet a group of coal boss friends.
In short, Wu Dong felt that he had gained several pounds when he left.
He first arrived in the capital and worked as a backup in a certain bureau before Shi Shiran returned to his hometown.
…
Zeng Li, who was preparing for the Chinese New Year in her hometown, suddenly received a call from her agent, saying that she was asked to play the lead female role in a movie.
Zeng Li was surprised and happy, and hurriedly asked what the name of the movie was and who was the director?
The agent was a little hesitant on the phone, but said he would rush to Zeng Li's hometown to meet her soon and discuss it in detail.
"Is this the movie?"
Holding the simple script, Zeng Li looked confused.
No matter how you look at it, it looks like a one-man show, and the plot is too simple.
The agent was a little embarrassed and explained: "The other party is still very sincere!"
"What sincerity?"
Zeng Li was a little amused, shook her head and said: "With this, can I still take pictures of flowers?"
As he spoke, he shook off the simple script in his hand.
The agent was at a loss for words and did not tell the specific amount of the remuneration. He changed the subject and said: "This director is quite capable and the several films he has shot are quite good!"
"Oh, why haven't I heard of it?"
Zeng Li was a little curious and asked: "Where are his works? Can I see them?"
The agent had no choice but to rent a private room in a regular Internet cafe with Zeng Li, then opened the video website link, and in Zeng Li's incredible eyes, clicked on the icon of a certain short film.
Then, Zeng Li took a good look at two short films about football.
At first, she wasn't interested at all.
Especially the first short film, the quality of the footage is rough and the footage is not very clear, it is obviously the work of a novice.
Coupled with the fact that she has no interest in so-called football, she naturally loses the mood to watch.
"Look carefully and feel it!"
It wasn't until her agent reminded her that she concentrated and observed carefully.
As I watched it, I didn't feel it was boring. On the contrary, it was quite exciting and passionate.
When I saw the second short film, I could clearly feel the improvement in the photographer's level. Even Zeng Li couldn't help but be surprised.
Fortunately, like the first step short film, it doesn't look boring and is interesting.
"Did you just shoot two short films?"
When the second short film ended, Zeng Li spoke with some unfinished thoughts.
Seeing her reaction, the manager smiled and said: "Of course there is!"
Then, I clicked on the third short film, which was the one promoting the auto parts city.
When the fighting scene appeared on the screen, both Zeng Li and her manager couldn't help but stare at the screen with their eyes wide open. It was so exciting.
After watching the short film, which was only two minutes long, Zeng Li felt excited and said with a chuckle: "The martial arts in this short film are really exciting!"
"Yes, it gives me the feeling that it is as exciting and exciting as watching an action movie!"
The agent smiled and said: "I also saw this short film and thought that the director is very capable, so I asked you to consider accepting the invitation!"
"Anymore?"
After finally calming down the turbulent emotions in her heart, Zeng Li continued to ask: "If there are only three short films, it is still difficult for people to trust the director's ability!"
Although the third short film already looks like a movie.
But short films are short films, and they always give people an unreliable feeling.
"There is also the last one, which is also the director's most influential short film. I heard it caused quite a stir on the Internet!"
As the manager spoke, he moved the mouse and clicked on a certain short film icon.
Then, Zeng Li saw the first short film of "The Kung Fu Doctor" and she was dumbfounded. The plot was so exciting and enjoyable, wasn't it?
At this time, the manager's voice sounded at the right time: "The script in your hand is actually the practice version of "The Kung Fu Doctor"!"
call……
After taking a long breath, Zeng Li's excited mood slowly returned to calm.
Looking at the frozen computer screen, I suddenly asked: "Could it be that the director who shot the short film is a kung fu master?"
The agent was a little dazed and said subconsciously: "It's possible!"
"Why did he choose me?"
At this time, Zeng Li no longer dared to underestimate the director, whom she had almost never heard of. The quality of the four short films was not low, especially the fourth one which looked like a movie.
The director's grasp of rhythm and excitement gave her the feeling of watching a Hollywood blockbuster, which is quite impressive.
After all, she is a professional actress and has acted in many movies, so she can naturally tell the level of a director.
"Because you are his fellow provincer!"
The agent showed a hearty smile and chuckled: "Besides, he wants to finish filming the movie during the winter vacation!"
"During winter vacation?"
Zeng Li grasped the key point and asked in surprise: "Director or student?"
"Naturally, college student!"
The agent smiled and said: "Isn't it already obvious in the first and second short films?"
Zeng Li suddenly realized and chuckled: "That's it!"
The style of painting changed and he hesitated: "I don't know where to go to shoot?"
The agent mentioned the name of a place and said with a smile: "They said there is a three-day holiday during the Chinese New Year, which is quite humane!"
"Well, can I talk to the director first? After all, the script is too simple!"
"That's no problem, let's leave immediately!"
…
Zeng Li was surprised when she saw Wu Dong in the general store office outside the college.
Although she had long known that the director was young, she was still surprised to be so young.
However, Wu Dong had a special aura about him that made her feel quite peaceful and secure.
Wu Dong didn't waste any time. After greeting each other, he directly handed over the storyboard and said with a smile: "I know that Ms. Zeng may think the script is simple. This is the storyboard. After watching it, you will know that this movie is not simple at all!"
Zeng Li subconsciously took it, ignored the manager's wink, and looked through it directly.
Soon, she became addicted.
Just as Wu Dong said, the split shots and narration give it a strong martial arts feel.
In short, after watching it, she was very touched and had the urge to learn it. She couldn't help but shook her head and smiled bitterly: "It's really interesting. I want to follow the actions in the storybook!"
Wu Dong chuckled and said: "No problem, you will be able to feel the effects obviously in half a month at most. This is a serious martial arts training method, but it is very shallow!"
"This is real?"
Zeng Li was quite surprised and subconsciously clenched the drawing book in her hands with both hands.
Wu Dong smiled and nodded, then started negotiations, and quickly reached an agreement.
Zeng Li's salary was not high. Even Wu Dong only gave her a salary of 200,000 yuan for the sake of being a fellow from this province.
After that came the negotiation of some more critical details. Because there was only one actor in the whole drama, Zeng Li, Wu Dong made a lot of concessions.
Apart from anything else, the treatment is definitely not as good as those of big drama crews, but it is still much better than the treatment of leading actors in small and medium-sized dramas.
There is no other way, the money provided by the rich man for the filming is really abundant.
Soon, Zeng Li and her agent arrived at the set location with Wu Dong. Wu Dong personally took the photo with a digital camera, and soon the extra chapter of "The Kung Fu Doctor" started filming quietly.
The only people who knew about it were Wu Dong, his brother, and the financial backer Boss Li who was far away in Shanxi Province.
It’s not that he doesn’t want to promote it in a big way, but it’s a pity that Wu Dong is not well-known offline, and it is difficult for a small crew with a total investment of millions to attract the attention of the outside world...
