Chapter 39 Nominated for Best Screenplay, Best Newcomer Director
"I want your brother to enter the entertainment industry and train him to become an excellent filmmaker who can write and direct himself." Li Youqing expressed his inner thoughts.
This sentence seems to be nothing new, because she has thought about it before, but it is just because she wants to completely solve the family resistance and create an opportunity for herself to return to the entertainment industry.
But now her thoughts are completely different. Although she still wants Jiang Bei to enter the entertainment industry, her original intention is different.
Because no one wants their husband’s talents to be buried, and Li Youqing is no exception.
"But you should know that my brother doesn't want to enter the entertainment industry." Although Liangliang was blinded by money, she still loved her brother in her heart.
Li Youqing did not agree with this statement. He glanced at Jiangbei in the direction of the balcony and asked in a low voice: "Why does he write these scripts if he doesn't want to enter the entertainment industry? Why does he know the techniques of filming on the set? Even teacher Ji Yingzi said this
He doesn't look like a novice at all. Moreover, Beibei mentioned to me before that he had studied screenwriting for several years, so he must have thought about entering the entertainment industry at first, but he was depressed because he encountered obstacles everywhere.
."
Logically speaking, there is nothing wrong with this statement, but Liangliang knows that there are too many things going on in Jiangbei, and she knows very well that her brother really doesn't want to enter the entertainment industry, but she can't tell the truth, so she can only reply tactfully: "I
feel......"
"Alipay will transfer you one thousand first."
"I think what you said is very reasonable, sister-in-law. To be honest, my brother did write scripts before and wanted to sell them. But no one liked the scripts he wrote. He wrote several scripts in a row and sold them at low prices, but no one liked them.
He liked it. So he was very sad, and in the end the matter was settled." Liang Liang said seriously.
Yes.
She didn't talk nonsense.
My brother had indeed written three scripts before and put them up for sale on a script trading website, and no one bought them for a year. This incident made my brother very worried at the time.
Of course, after the script was unexpectedly bought by his sister-in-law, my brother's sorrow turned into sadness.
Li Youqing was very satisfied.
Because of the money relationship, the sister-in-law and sister-in-law now have a unified view.
"Beibei hit a brick wall for one reason, and another reason is that he may feel that our family is making too much money and living a comfortable life, which makes him lose the idea of working hard to make progress."
"It's true that people lose their fighting spirit easily when they have money, so I think sister-in-law, you should pass on your family property to me in advance." Liangliang expressed deep agreement with this view.
Li Youqing glared at Liangliang, but did not answer this sentence, but said: "Actually, no matter what the reason is, Beibei's talent should not be buried. As wives and sisters, we have the obligation and responsibility to help him display his talents."
Talent.”
"How can I help?" Liangliang had a habit of touching her feet.
"I know that you have been helping Beibei a lot in the past few years, so he should trust you more. I hope you can persuade him in private and try to change his mind." Li Youqing pondered for a while and said.
"This is very difficult..." Liangliang looked embarrassed, raised the hand that had just picked his foot and rubbed it.
Li Youqing herself is a little money-lover, how could she not know the meaning of this gesture, but this time she also spent a lot of money to buy off Ancheng's gambling king.
"From now on, I will give you five thousand as a reward every month. If you need money, you can ask me to withdraw a certain amount of public funds. If you can successfully make Beibei change his mind and focus on entering the entertainment industry, I will share half of your property.
."
When Liangliang heard this, she immediately sat up straight and said with a straight face: "Sister-in-law, actually you should know that I'm not helping you just for this little money."
"I know you can't bear your brother's talent to be buried."
"Yes! That's what it means."
"..."
Jiangbei didn't know that Li Youqing dared to win people's hearts under his nose, and succeeded...
At this moment, standing on the balcony blowing the wind, he was reviewing the process of this matter and identifying the shortcomings that led to the failure.
There are many reasons, such as this script should not have been written, Erjing Film and Television did not do enough to suppress it, Liangliang failed to rely on Chen Muhua's power, etc...
In short, he has his own problems and his teammates' problems.
So when you think about it, you can’t just throw the whole pot away.
Thinking of this, Jiang Bei picked up his cell phone and secretly sent a text message to Liangliang: At seven o'clock tomorrow morning, there will be a meeting in the pavilion.
After sending it out, I thought about Liangliang being homeless a few days ago, so I sent another red envelope worth 200 yuan as condolences.
After doing all this, he put away his phone, sighed softly, and turned back to the house.
I don’t know if it was affected by the release of the movie, but Jiangbei’s sleep quality has been relatively poor these past few nights. When he closes his eyes, his mind is filled with some bad images. For example, Li Youqing has become an international superstar, and he won the best movie in Hollywood.
Director, even Anseong Gambling King can win money!
Can Zhang Jiuliang win money by gambling? Isn’t this nonsense!
After finally staying up until dawn, he quietly got up, put on his clothes and walked out of the room. Some noises came from the direction of the kitchen. Before he could go over to check, Liangliang's little head poked out: "Good morning, brother, I want to drink."
Porridge?"
Have porridge?
How can I be in the mood to drink porridge now?
Jiang Bei walked to the kitchen door in three steps and asked in a low voice: "Didn't you receive the message I sent you last night?"
"I got it, thank you for the big red envelope, brother." Liangliang nodded obediently and replied.
"Then you are still here?" Jiang Bei asked with a frown.
Liangliang glanced at the big pendulum clock on the wall of the living room and said with a blank expression: "But it's only six o'clock now."
Damn Zhang Jiuliang, obviously he hasn't realized the seriousness of the matter yet.
"No matter what time it is, go out for the meeting immediately, otherwise you won't have the chance when your sister-in-law wakes up."
"But if you don't eat breakfast, you will get stomach problems..."
"Come back later to eat."
————
Arcadia Community is a high-end community. In addition to the very complete supporting facilities around it, the green coverage area in the community has also reached more than 50%, making the community full of greenery and vitality all year round.
March is spring, the season when all things revive. The flowers and plants in the community have begun to sprout. Red, white, yellow, and purple ones hang on the branches and dot the trees, which is really beautiful.
If you meet someone who knows how to appreciate it, you will definitely stop and linger for a while, or take out your mobile phone to record this beautiful scenery. But unfortunately, the person who saw them was Anseong Gambling King, and he was taken off by that ruthless little hand.
He put a spring chrysanthemum petal into his mouth, chewed it, and said plausibly: "Hmm... I didn't expect there to be so many chrysanthemums here. I can pick some to make chrysanthemum porridge when I make porridge tomorrow morning."
Compared to the elegant Zhang Jiuliang, Jiang Bei looked sad, sitting in the pavilion and sighing.
Seeing this, Liangliang picked a few chrysanthemums and came in to comfort her: "Brother, failure is the mother of success. Today's failure is to welcome tomorrow's success."
Jiangbei felt even more uncomfortable after hearing this.
Because after a few years, it seems that there are far more failures than successes.
He is really too difficult...
"Please help me think of a way to deal with it. The movie is so successful now. Your sister-in-law will definitely continue to let me make movies to gain experience and fame. How can I refuse reasonably without letting her find out the problem?"
The movie currently being released is a foregone conclusion, and there is no point in thinking about it anymore. What we need to do now is to prepare for the rainy day and make plans for the next step.
Zhuge Liang held flower petals in his mouth and walked around the pavilion with his hands behind his back. Hearing this, he replied: "What are you afraid of? The success of this movie is because the script you wrote is so special, brother, that it only requires a bunch of actors to surround you."
Just read the lines in a dilapidated house. But there is only one movie like this. As long as you shoot the next one, all the problems will be solved!"
"What if something goes wrong again?" Jiang Bei asked with a frown.
It was easy to say, but he always felt that this method had many loopholes. God knows if there would be any accidents during the filming.
"How can there be so many eventualities? If it doesn't work, just add insurance and make hard science fiction. Do you think Ji Yingzi is a capable director? If you encounter "Blue Fortress", it will be a bloodbath, and it will directly end up blocking Chinese science fiction movies.
The name of the gate. As long as you, brother, follow suit and lose five to six billion, I can guarantee that my sister-in-law will never dare to let you make a movie again."
Poor Ji Yingzi was taken out and whipped to death again, but Liangliang didn't care about that, since they couldn't hear her anyway.
"I'm afraid your sister-in-law will let me shoot the remaining part." Jiang Bei said helplessly.
Of the three scripts he wrote back then, one is still lying in Li Youqing's storage cabinet. Maybe it will be the next movie.
And since it was a script that was intended to make quick money, it naturally couldn't be a big production.
"It doesn't matter much. It's hard to make a good movie, but it's not easy to make a bad movie? Don't worry, brother, I believe you can handle it." Zhuge Liang ate the petals in one bite and shook his head.
"I hope so." Jiang Bei still didn't have much confidence in his tone.
"Dudu~~"
At this time, the ringtone of the mobile phone rang. Jiang Bei took a look and found that it was Li Youqing. He winked and answered the call: "Hello, wife."
"Beibei, please come back quickly. I have good news for you." Li Youqing's tone on the phone was very happy.
Good news?
Jiang Bei raised his head and glanced at Du Wang, who shrugged and said she didn't know.
It wasn't until the brothers and sisters returned home that they learned that "This Man from the Blue Star" had been shortlisted for two nominations at the 79th Blue Star Awards.
They are Best Original Screenplay and Best New Director.
Coincidentally, the script and director are both written by the same person.
Jiangbei.
...
On March 12, "This Man from the Blue Star" was released in theaters for 12 days. The film successfully topped the weekly box office with a score of 600 million in seven days.
However, since the movie is a drama-style soft science fiction after all, it has a limited audience, so its stamina is somewhat weak. By the twelfth day, the single-day box office was less than 20 million, and the cumulative box office was 810 million.
If this situation continues, the subsequent box office may not reach one billion.
But no matter what, for a film that cost only 120,000 yuan to achieve such results is a complete success, especially being shortlisted for the Celeste Award.
March 13th was a beautiful day in spring.
The 79th China Blue Awards Ceremony was held grandly at the Mercedes-Benz Cultural Plaza.
The crew of "This Man Came from the Blue Star" brought the entire crew there.
At the same time, this is also the first time Jiangbei has set foot on an awards ceremony in the entertainment industry after traveling through the Blue Star.
Suits and leather shoes.
Red carpet camera.
A sense of familiarity welled up from the depths of my memory.
