"Xiao Feng, Wu Di has been gone for several days, right? Are you really not worried at all and didn't call to check?"
After all, Madam is a mother, and she is an extremely sensitive person. Seeing her daughter busy with her movies every day and not caring about her lover's whereabouts, she really couldn't let go. After hesitating for a few days, she finally decided to
Zhang Feng stopped him.
Zhang Feng, who smiled coldly, was speechless at his mother's attitude.
"Mom, he just went to Hengdian to guest star in a TV series with pancakes. It didn't last long. He will probably be back in the next two days."
"Why should I look for him every day?"
"He is not a suckling child, and I am not his mother. I have been in contact with Ms. Lan these days. I don't think Ms. Lan has contacted him!"
When it comes to the so-called concerns, Zhang Feng, who has always been indifferent, became more assertive and spoke plausibly.
"Don't talk about Ms. Lan, just talk about yourself. You and he are lovers, and they are still in love now. How can you ignore him?"
"Don't you know that the entertainment industry is just a big mess? Keeping a close eye on men may not guarantee that there won't be any problems outside, but you still don't care about anything."
"Are you normal?"
"Besides, now that communication methods are so advanced, is it difficult to make a phone call? I know you are busy, but no matter how busy you are, you won't even have time to make a phone call, right?"
Madam has reason to be worried.
Wu Di is really her favorite son-in-law candidate, and now that he is about to succeed, she doesn't want to make any more mistakes.
Who knows, my precious daughter doesn’t know whether she is really indifferent or just pretending, but she really doesn’t even want to make a phone call.
Today's children's ideas really change from time to time, and it becomes increasingly difficult to understand.
"Mom, you don't have to worry about this."
"Times are different now. A girlfriend who is chased every day is very annoying. If you put yourself in another position, if I were your daughter and I found a boyfriend, I would be filming movies every day, doing co-ordination, and I would be busy with my feet in the air.
, my boyfriend still contacts me every day, investigates my work and sees what I am doing, do you think I will be happy?"
"Besides, think about it, even if those women chase their boyfriends every day, what will happen?"
"You can't stop a person who needs to change his mind even if you tie him to a horse. A person who is loyal by nature doesn't need these methods at all, and he won't hook up with others."
"It can be seen that the key to these things is to look at the quality of the individual. Whether it is marking or arguing, it will not have much effect at all."
"If he was filming somewhere closed for a long time, for a few months at a time, then of course I would take the time to contact him. But now, he is just making a cameo, and the scenes are only for a few days. This is not necessary at all."
"Lovers also need a sense of space when getting along. We are both adults, and we are not the kind of sticky people. Both he and I need a certain amount of personal space. A sense of distance is good for both parties.
.”
Being a mother is a lot of hard work, Zhang Feng also knows this very well, so although she felt a little annoyed, she patiently explained it to her mother.
The madam tried her best, but Zhang Feng couldn't listen to a word she said and was still stubborn. The madam could only shake her head and raise her hands in surrender.
"Hey, are you really relieved?"
"Don't be pretentious. You're obviously worried about me, but you still have to pretend to be calm and calm on the surface."
As soon as the lady walked away with her front feet, grains of rice were welcomed by her back feet.
After all, friends know Zhang Feng better than his mother. As soon as Mi Li opened his mouth, our Director Zhang’s face darkened.
"Don't talk nonsense!"
"That's not who I am!"
"What kind of person you are is not my decision. It's your own feeling. I don't think you need to be so high-minded. Make a phone call and be proactive. What's wrong?"
"Men also need a sense of presence. If you take the initiative to call him and say something nice, he might be so happy!"
"I?"
"I wouldn't do that!"
Mi Li kindly reminded Zhang Feng, but Zhang Feng refused immediately.
What kind of person is she?
How is it possible to take the initiative to show kindness?
"If he missed me, wouldn't he take the initiative to call me?"
"He won't fight, so why should I fight first?"
This woman is really...she is so competitive that she is so competitive right down to her bones.
Do we actually have to compete for superiority in this kind of thing?
"Alright alright!"
"I'm just making a suggestion. Whether you accept it or not is up to you. Let's talk about serious matters!"
Although it seems that Mi Li is a screenwriter for the first time, in fact, Miss Mi Li is also very busy and she is a well-known barrister.
There is a constant flow of cases every day, and I can’t even take them anymore.
Not to mention a formal representation case in court, even if you go to my law firm for a little consultation and business negotiation, the negotiation fee will be four figures.
It can be seen that Mi Li became the screenwriter entirely for Zhang Feng's sake, and at the same time he really wanted to try a new business field.
In fact, with the current level of treatment for screenwriters in the industry, it might still be a loss for Mi Li to make a movie!
After all, the time it takes to shoot a movie is even longer than the time it takes to represent a case, and as a lawyer, cases are divided according to the value of the subject matter.
If you are lucky, if you encounter a big case, opening one case will be enough for three years!
A share of at least hundreds of thousands is guaranteed.
What about the screenwriter?
To be honest, even well-known screenwriters who have already achieved box office success may not always be able to receive hundreds of thousands of dollars in salary for a single drama.
You know, screenwriting can be said to be the most exploited type of job in the film and television industry today.
It is obviously the core of film and television dramas. Without a good script, there will never be a good movie, and it will be difficult for the director to make a comeback.
But for such an important position, the income earned by screenwriters is completely incomparable to their status and role.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! With enough time to make a movie, a quick Mi Li can take on two cases.
Purely from the perspective of economic income, being a screenwriter is completely uneconomical.
The only thing that attracted Mi Li was the model of court reasoning.
You know, in today's online movie theaters, suspense films are one of the more popular genre films, and court reasoning is very lacking.
As a lawyer, Mi Li also hopes that through such a film, the face of the court can be better presented to the public.
In a sense, it can be regarded as a kind of alternative law popularization!
"Have you thought about the title of our film? Director Zhang Da?"
Screenwriter Mi Li made a special trip to visit her during his busy schedule. Of course he had something important to discuss, and now it was about to be officially submitted for review.
As a result, such a carefully prepared drama did not even have a formal name until this day.
Even if Zhang Feng is not anxious, others can't bear it anymore.
"Director Zhang, we can't go on like this. Aren't we going to submit it for review in the next few days? You must have a name to submit!"
"Oh, you said this matter should indeed have a name, but you don't have to be too anxious. Look, I'm not in a hurry."
Mi Li was speechless.
"Sister, it's not normal for you not to be anxious about this matter, okay?"
"Have you not thought about it at all?"
Zhang Feng smiled sweetly: "You still understand me."
"I really haven't thought about it, but there's really nothing to worry about. Even if we decide on a very appropriate name, we may not be able to use it in the end."
"It all depends on what the professionals at the review site think about it. I've seen too many cases where the film title that I worked so hard to come up with was finally changed by them."
"As for me, I have a few alternative names. I plan to submit the completed film first. If they don't have any objections to the plot of the completed film, I will add the title."
"This way, if there are any changes, it will save trouble."
"You are so calm."
"Of course."
"I'm already pretty quick. The movie was shot so fast, half a month ahead of the expected completion date. You have to know how much money I can save in this half month."
"So much time has been saved. Now it's just a matter of messing around with the title, and it won't really delay things. They won't say anything."
What Mi Li is worried about is what investors will think. As a good friend of Zhang Feng, she certainly understands that although our female director is not very experienced and has not many films, her stubbornness and conceitedness are etched into her heart.
In the bones.
It is precisely because Zhang Feng has such a stubborn personality and still has her own way of doing things that she is more suitable for being in the industry and even becoming a director.
Although her father, Lao Zhang, usually doesn't say anything, when Zhang Feng was clamoring to become a director, although the two had different paths and had some conflicts, in fact, Lao Zhang did not stop Zhang Feng from becoming a director as well.
.
It was because he saw that his daughter was also talented in this area.
When it comes to art, nothing is more important than having talent, and Zhang Feng has talent, so it cannot be wasted.
But, do investors really have no objections at all?
Mi Li was still worried, but she didn't expect that not long after, Zhang Feng received a call from an old friend.
Of course they are old friends.
It’s still a great injustice!
"Director Zhang, hasn't your movie been finished yet?"
As soon as Han Jing said this, Zhang Feng was speechless. What should the director do with such a confused boss?
To be honest, it seems like they all suffered a loss.
Why don't you just say it's not finished yet? Depending on what he wants, he might be able to invest some more money. In this way, maybe Zhang Feng can get his money back before the movie is released.
As an investor, Han Jing didn't even know the filming progress of the movie he invested in. It could even be said that he didn't care. This was an eye-opener for Zhang Feng.
"Mr. Han, our movie has been shot a long time ago, and now the editing is almost completed. How did you know?"
"I sent someone to report to you before."
Zhang Feng wasn't stupid either, although she felt that since Han Jing didn't think about it at all, he probably didn't care about it either.
But he still made it clear what he had done and took away his responsibilities.
A deep laughter sounded on the other end of the phone: "Director Zhang, you are worrying too much. I have no intention of holding you accountable."
"This is indeed an oversight on my part. I invest in a lot of projects here every day, and some of them are forgotten after I get busy. Now they are almost over. Of course I am very satisfied."
"I'm calling this time to discuss the next step of publicity work."
Zhang Feng paused for a moment: Propaganda work?
It seems that she has never made this request, but Boss Han actually thought of it in advance?
"Mr. Han, what do you mean..."
"Of course I will give you additional investment!"
"Although it's still far from being released, I have no problem with it. If you need it, just ask. You don't need to worry about funds."
When Han Jing said these words, Zhang Feng's face kept appearing in front of Zhang Feng's eyes. That expression was always very cold and rational.
At first, he was quite critical of being asked to participate in the production of the movie, but now he actually wants to actively invest more.
There must be a reason behind such a change.
"Mr. Han, why did you take the initiative to invest more?"
"Are you interested in the potential of my work?" Zhang Feng tried to ask.
"Yes, that's right."
This kid actually agreed so happily!
Easy again!
Zhang Feng was shocked.
"Strictly speaking, it's not just your movies that I like." When Director Zhang was shocked, Han Jing continued: "There's also Wu Di."
Without warning, the topic was shifted to that man.
Han Jing took the initiative to call and ask for additional investment this time, and it was indeed not just for Zhang Feng's face. It should be said that before this, Zhang Feng's box office performance was indeed very impressive, and it was precisely because of this performance that he
Well-known investors like Han Jing recognized her and invested heavily in her.
But at this stage, Zhang Feng alone is far from enough, at least not enough to attract Han Jing to take the initiative to make additional investment.
For many investors, they are considered excellent if they can make all the investment in the filming in a serious manner.
And now, Han Jing actually wants to invest more, precisely because he sees Wu Di's potential.
Now, the interests of Wu Di and Zhang Feng are connected. For example, Zhang Feng's movie now has investment from Wu Di's company.
Although the scale is not large, the interests are also connected, which is unavoidable.
What's more, good things are about to happen for the talented man and the talented woman, and this marriage will not fall through. In this way, Wu Di will definitely participate in the promotion of Zhang Feng's movie.
Even if he doesn't personally participate, his company will definitely help control it, and this is what Han Jing likes.
"Boss Wu's Labyrinth has achieved very good results. Such a small-budget movie can achieve a box office of 60 million, which is really an unexpected surprise!"
When he heard that Han Jing's enthusiasm came from the maze, Zhang Feng felt a little awkward, but he continued the topic.
"That's true. The cost is probably around 10 million, maybe even less. I heard that the original planned investment was 10 million, but the cost of the shooting was well controlled after that, so we should have saved some money.
"
"Calculated at a ratio of one to three, and after deducting the investment in later publicity and campaigning, we should have made a profit of at least about 20 million."
