Chapter 211 Sun Peng went bankrupt! Four thousand words!)
Sun Peng also wanted to show off and slap him in the face.
But……
He couldn't slap him in the face.
In fact, Lu Yuan didn't even take any action before Sun Peng fell first.
What the hell is this?
Two days later, Sun Peng was discharged from the hospital.
He stood at the entrance of the hospital. No reporter came to interview him, nor did any of his friends come to visit and pick him up. No one came to pick him up.
The sun is still shining brightly.
The light shone on his body, illuminating his shadow.
His shadow is lonely.
The temperature in early spring was still a bit cold, and even after Sun Peng wrapped himself in clothes, he still felt shivering.
This is a sad story.
Yesterday morning, when he learned that all his online messages had been banned by relevant departments, his lungs almost exploded with anger.
As soon as Zhou Shuai's face of sincerely treating him as a friend appeared in his mind, he gritted his teeth!
I’m all gnashing my teeth at this moment!
He truly realized the darkness and hypocrisy of this world.
His heart gradually sank.
Seeing the vehicles passing by in the distance, Sun Peng suddenly felt a little confused.
The entertainment industry can no longer survive. If the relevant departments did not take action, everything would be fine. Even if they are scolded as a dog again, there is still a chance to clear their name. But now that the relevant departments have taken action to suppress it...
What is the biggest in China?
The relevant departments are the largest.
So what else is he playing?
Go back to your hometown and open a small supermarket honestly, and never bother with this business again?
Sun Peng gritted his teeth, clenched his fists, and seemed to close his eyes again and let go of his hands.
It seems like this is the only way he can.
However, Sun Peng was unwilling to give in...
Extremely unwilling!
I can't just lose like this, I have to win at least one game, at least it can't end in such a bleak way!
But……
What can he do now?
no!
I can't end like this!
Immediately afterwards, he became cruel and took out his mobile phone...
"Dududu."
"Hey, Director Shen..."
"Ah, I'm sorry, Editor Sun, I have a headache and I can't answer the phone..."
"I'll give you the script! Change the name of the script and put your name on it as the screenwriter, Director Shen, is that okay?"
"Ah? Brother Sun, your... investment is not small. If you want to compete with Lu Yuan for a while..." Shen Lianjie on the other end of the phone was suddenly stunned.
"Give me a chance! I want to win. I now have four million and two houses to my name. I can spend it all in the movie! I have no choice now!"
"Brother Sun, you..."
"As long as I have it, I can give it to you! I just want to have this fight with Lu Yuan, and Director Shen, you don't want to watch Lu Yuan standing on your head and shit all the time, right? Think of "Buried Alive",
Think about "Wanderer"! Why does Lu Yuan win against you? In fact, you also want to win with glory, right?"
"Where are you now?"
"I'm at the entrance of the hospital."
"Oh, when you come to my office, remember, you must wear a mask and a hat, okay?"
"I understand, I know what fame I am now."
"Um."
…………………………
The script of "Groundhog Day" is not complicated, but the shooting was a little difficult with camera switching.
Editing of this film is very important.
However, editing is never difficult. As long as you spend more money on the filming and post-production of the film, all the problems will not be a problem.
Fatty Wei was very satisfied with the script after reading it.
Other "doglegs" in "remote" entertainment are also quite satisfied. This subject is relatively new in China.
This is indeed not a Star Wars science fiction film, and it doesn’t even have strong science fiction elements...
There are no spaceships, no aliens, no mechas, well, not even a slightly more intense battle scene.
Rather than saying it is a science fiction film, it is better to call it a literary film with a science fiction coloring.
This kind of movie really doesn't need any special effects to support it.
The total investment is very economical if you sort it out a little. If you shoot it well, it can basically be controlled within 5 million, which is even more economical than "Wanderer". If you sort out the shooting cycle a little bit, it can be controlled within 5 million.
In about half a month, we can indeed catch up with the box office battle in May and there is still plenty of time.
The next morning, Fatty Wei knocked on the door of Lu Yuan's office.
"Ayuan, are you participating in this movie?"
"Well, if I have enough time, I can give it a try." Lu Yuan thought for a while. Nowadays, the salaries of experienced and famous actors in the industry are not cheap, and the salary for a small talk is at least several million.
The investment in this kind of film itself is very small, and if you suddenly increase it by tens of millions, isn't it a waste of money?
Moreover, Lu Yuan was very familiar with the plot development and context of this movie, and he felt that it would not be a big problem for him to play the leading role.
"How to decide the heroine?"
"The heroine?" Lu Yuan frowned.
"Well, I think the heroine of this film must be outstanding." Fatty Wei smoked a cigarette and looked at Lu Yuan.
"Do you have any suitable candidates in mind?"
"Liu Fangfei..."
"Liu Fangfei? How much is his salary?"
"Probably one thousand to ten thousand."
"I think Liu Fangfei is very suitable."
"Why?"
"She has no acting skills."
"..."
Lu Yuan seemed calm on the surface, but in fact, he was in a turmoil deep inside.
This remuneration frightened Lu Yuan and almost made him unable to sit still.
He remembered who Liu Fangfei was.
She is the heroine of "Capital" filmed by Shen Lianjie. Although "Capital" was a huge box office scam, Liu Fangfei is still popular with many fans in the drama. Regardless of her acting skills, she still has a lot of otaku fans.
In fact, from a rational point of view, there is no problem in choosing Liu Fangfei.
But……
Ten million...
Damn it!
How many commercial houses and storefront houses can I buy?
Can Lu Erzhizi be willing to spend money?
Is the sun coming out in the west?
To be honest, the salary for the heroine in his budget is only around 300,000 yuan!
Liu Fangfei is really too far away in his heart, at this price...
It's not on the same level.
"Otherwise, I will post the news about the audition for the heroine on Weibo, and then we will conduct the screening and take advantage of the trend to promote the popularity."
"Well, okay, that's good!" Fatty Wei nodded.
Lu Yuan's proposal is not bad, and with Lu Yuan's current influence on the Internet and the reputation accumulated from the two movies, wouldn't the heroine pounce on her like a moth to a flame?
Fatty Wei thinks this can be sorted out.
Later, when Fatty Wei and Lu Yuan finished chatting about the general content of the movie, Fatty Wei happily prepared to leave with the script.
He is no better than Lu Yuan. Lu Yuan can still sit in the office and occasionally act like salted fish, but he can't.
He still has to take the script to file, register, assemble a crew, and a series of other things to do.
The early stage of shooting a movie is very tedious, and it is not even easy from the beginning to the end.
Of course, his fighting spirit was high. He felt that "remote" entertainment was slowly improving, and it was no longer the leather company that could be knocked down with just a push of the door.
Um!
Even if it is still a leather bag company, it is at least a big leather bag company!
……………………
Fatty Wei went to work.
Lu Yuan rubbed his eyes and went to Weibo to post a post on Weibo about the audition for the heroine of "Groundhog Day" to promote it.
Very comfortable!
He now feels more and more that his Weibo is a big advertising platform, and it would be great to promote his family restaurant when he has time some other time!
etc!
It seems like I haven’t been back home since the second day of the Lunar New Year.
I didn’t even have a good New Year!
Just after logging onto Weibo, there was another knock on the door, and then Lu Yuan saw Wu Tingting walking in.
"Mr. Lu, there is a director who wants to meet you..."
"Director? Who is it?"
"Li Qi."
"Li Qi?" Lu Yuan frowned when he heard the name.
He was a little confused.
Forehead……
Li Qi?
It seems that director Li Qi, who once invited me to film "Youth School" and later unilaterally breached the contract, had to pay him liquidated damages, but he was exempted from it?
I haven't heard from him for a long time.
Well, Li Qi has been missing for several months. Lu Yuan has no idea what he is doing anymore?
"Mr. Lu, do we want to meet him?"
"good!"
Wu Tingting then left the office, and about a minute later there was another knock on the door.
Lu Yuan raised his head.
When Lu Yuan saw Li Qi again, he was instantly stunned.
For a moment, he didn't even recognize Li Qi.
It is completely different from a few months ago. Although Li Qi suffered a blow a few months ago, at least the expression on his face is still hopeful and energetic. However, at this moment, Li Qi looks like a stubble.
There have been a lot of vicissitudes of life.
"Ah...well, Mr. Lu..." Li Qi looked at Lu Yuan, and then his expression became slightly embarrassed.
"Um, Director Li, long time no see. How are you lately?"
"Well, it's okay." Li Qi looked at Lu Yuan's office, and then the smile on his face was slightly forced.
This was his first time coming to Lu Yuan's company.
In fact, Lu Yuan came to Hengdian when his company first moved, but when he saw many celebrities in the industry, he turned around and left midway.
It's not that he doesn't want to bless Lu Yuan, but that he doesn't know what identity he should use to bless Lu Yuan.
Although he was a director, when Zhao Yi exposed him to his face that day and accused him of his actual box-office nature, his self-esteem and worldview completely collapsed.
This is an extremely humiliating and painful feeling.
He didn't know what identity he should use to bless Lu Yuan.
He began to feel inferior to himself.
friend?
Can Lu Yuan be considered a friend if he and Lu Yuan have never met each other? And even though Lu Yuan exempted him from liquidated damages, he knew in his heart that he owed Lu Yuan and Lu Yuan was his creditor.
You said I'm a director?
Can you be considered a director if you fail like this?
Isn't it a joke?
Who am I compared to others? Isn’t coming here just to make me laugh?
So, he left after hesitating for a while.
"Drink tea, drink tea..." Lu Yuan looked at Li Qi's appearance and knew that Li Qi didn't seem to be having a good life these past few months.
However, Lu Yuan did not look down on Li Qi. Lu Yuan had never been such a person.
"Oh, Ayuan...I came here today just to take a look at your company. Your company is very good, haha...very good."
"Well...it's been renovated, it's really different from before." Lu Yuan found that Li Qi had really changed a lot.
He didn't know why, but now he found that Li Qi didn't have the confidence to speak anymore.
It is hard to imagine that this man was one of the famous new directors in China half a year ago...
What has he been going through these days?
Why are you so depressed?
"Okay, Ayuan, I heard that you plan to make a science fiction film?"
"Well, yes."
"Oh, it's good, it's good...hehe."
"Haha, yes, it's pretty good..."
“‘Wanderer’ is a big hit.”
"Yeah, it's a big fire..."
"..."
Embarrassment is contagious.
Lu Yuan found that Li Qi was acting strangely. He spoke very illogically. He seemed to be hesitant to speak and looked at his phone from time to time.
Just like that, when the two left after chatting awkwardly for half an hour, Li Qi stood up and turned around to say goodbye.
Lu Yuan tried to persuade Li Qi to stay, but Li Qi refused to stay at all.
What did this guy come to see me for?
Lu Yuan was very surprised by this inexplicable visit to Li Qi.
Of course, he still saw Li Qi out of the company door.
When Li Qi walked out of the company door and looked at his phone again, Lu Yuan clearly felt that he was relieved.
"Mr. Lu, I'm leaving first."
"Well, are you really not going to have dinner together?"
"I have something to do, haha..."
"Oh, then I won't keep you."
"good."
Just after Li Qi got into the taxi and left, Lu Yuan's cell phone rang.
Lu Yuan took out his mobile phone...
He found that there were six million more in his account.
Six million?
Where does the money come from?
Box office revenue?
It seems not.
"Li Qi transferred six million to you."
Then Wang Jinxue came out and looked at Lu Yuan.
"Six million?"
"This should be the liquidated damages for him signing you before and then breaking the contract."
"Ah? Liquidated damages?" Lu Yuan was stunned, and then remembered the scene when Li Qi was sitting in his office talking to him.
It takes time for banks to make large amounts of money.
When Li Qi left, the money arrived.
turn out to be……
Did he visit me this time to give me money?
"He feels now that he doesn't owe you anything."
"Well, yes."
"I can see that he has a lot to say to you, but he doesn't know how to say it." Wang Jinxue looked at Lu Yuan.
"yes."
"How about giving him a call?"
"Okay." Lu Yuan nodded.
……………………
"Let's change the name of "Interstellar Universe" to "Age of Aliens" and change the name of the screenwriter to me. By the way, Editor Sun, that's fine."
"no problem!"
"Then, I will go to Weibo to promote and prepare filing materials?"
"Good Director Shen, how much is your estimated total investment?"
"Forty million. The special effects of this movie are very important. By the way, are you sure you want to give it a try? This may be bankrupt for you!"
"want!"
"You are too impulsive."
"I just want to fight for this. I think my script is fine. Even bad movies like "Alien" are fine. Why can't mine? Director Shen, please announce it on Weibo! And since ancient times, I have dared to
Those who are desperate will never have bad luck, and I think my luck is not bad either!"
"Okay, Editor Sun, since you are so determined, I will sacrifice my life to accompany you. I will also spend one...one million."
