"This is an inspirational movie that tells the story of healing between humans and dogs."
"Would a homeless person who is a smoker, an alcoholic, and a drug addict be inspirational? Or a dog?"
"Yeah, pretty good!"
"Don't go astray. We are elegant people and we won't make some banned films that are very tasteful!"
"Ayuan, you are wrong. This is not an ordinary dog, and it is definitely not a banned film. Where did you think it was?" Fatty Wei retorted seriously and firmly!
"What is that?"
"That was a scrawny stray dog that came out of a dog slaughterhouse and survived by chance..."
"Inspirational?"
“Quite inspiring!”
"Why do you think of me!"
"Because you are a smoker, and you are very addicted. Especially if you quit smoking and then smoke again for a day, the feeling is really like taking drugs. I think it would be good to use it as a character in a movie. It has special abilities.
Shine!"
"..."
Lu Yuan suddenly didn't know how to refute.
Lu Yuan could see the strong confidence and passion in Fatty Wei's eyes.
When he saw Lu Yuan, his eyes were full of passion.
He looks like the kind of virgin who has just tasted the sweetness and is eager to have sex until the sky is dark.
Lu Yuan looked at the moon outside the window, and then at the somewhat empty company hall.
In the past, he should have come to celebrate without saying a word, but now Lu Yuan suddenly found that he had lost interest.
"Have you been drinking?"
"Drink some."
"Go to sleep and we'll talk tomorrow."
"Ayuan, I am very serious. After "Buried Alive" is released, we will prepare "Wanderer"! The investment does not require much, it can be controlled within 1.3 million, which is completely within our ability to invest, and
You can use your small skills to make a big difference, and be tear-jerking and inspirational!”
"I'm a little sleepy..."
"You can read the script first and then go to bed after reading the script, right?"
"Okay, okay!"
Seeing Fatty Wei's wretched appearance, Lu Yuan was finally speechless. He turned on the bright light in the hall and took over Fatty Wei's script.
At first he was not interested in the script, but after reading it for a while, he suddenly felt that the script was not bad.
Lu Yuan suddenly felt a sense of identity with the description of the male protagonist's middle school days.
"How about it?"
"not bad……"
"This is the next movie our company will make?"
"Okay."
"You're going to be the lead actor, so I'll be the director this time?" Fatty Wei glanced at Lu Yuan tentatively.
"Okay, no problem!"
"Then I'll buy the script first?"
"How much?"
"Seven thousand yuan."
"Oh, wait, how many did you say?"
"The asking price is 7,000 yuan, but with a little talk, you can probably buy it for around 5,000 yuan."
"Oh." Lu Yuan felt that this script seemed a bit cheap.
Five thousand can buy a notebook?
"Then...can you transfer 7,000 to me?"
"Didn't I just give you the director's bonus?"
"I used it to pay off my previous debt...I paid back 20,000 to Lao Li...and this script is so good, and you are the boss of our company, so..."
"Okay, okay!" Lu Yuan was speechless looking at Fatty Wei's coquettish appearance, and he did it after all.
"Okay, boss!" Fatty Wei looked delighted, his smile was as bright as a blooming chrysanthemum, and it was so dog-legged.
He seemed to see a beautiful life waving to him...
Everything looks beautiful.
China’s future great director is here!
…………………………
The days passed quickly.
The end of August has arrived in the blink of an eye.
Although the weather in August is as hot and hot as ever, it is a little cooler than in July.
Hengdian was filled with theater crews of all sizes every day, countless extras and stars gathered together every day, and various hotels were packed every day. Business was so good that Lu Yuan was so envious.
Lu Yuan even tried to open a hotel for celebrities to stay in.
Unfortunately, Lu Yuan knew that this was just a dream after all.
Why?
Nonsense, because you are poor!
Why would you open a hotel with hundreds of thousands of quick bucks? Aren't you talking nonsense?
After all, reality is not a dream. It's almost done in one go. If you really want to do it, you're just stupid.
Fatty Wei was worrying about the video of the movie, but Lu Yuan didn't bother too much. During this time, he had been reading various performance books, and occasionally turned on the TV to watch some literary and artistic films from this world to learn. Many things were quite interesting.
good……
certainly……
"What did you call that person?"
"Call me brother, what's wrong?"
"..."
"Dududu."
During this period, Wang Jinxue made a very brief phone call to Lu Yuan. After Lu Yuan answered the questions, Wang Jinxue hung up the phone.
Lu Yuan was a little confused. After the call was made, Wang Jinxue's phone was turned off.
In the next ten days or so, Wang Jinxue never called Lu Yuan again, and seemed to disappear out of thin air.
Women are truly a bunch of amazing animals.
Lu Yuan couldn't understand, so he could only shake his head and not think too much.
Of course, he does not admit that his emotional intelligence is very low.
No matter how high your emotional intelligence is, people will sometimes fall into misunderstandings, right?
It’s normal to fall into misunderstandings.
And he's not into psychology.
Another thing worth mentioning in August is that Lu Yuan became famous.
Although it is not as exaggerated as becoming famous overnight, his various messages have been on the headlines of major portal websites for two consecutive days...
Especially that interview video, which occupied the second place on the Yousou video website for four days in a row!
Although it was crushed by the first place with nearly three times the number of clicks...
So what's number one?
The first place is naturally the clip from "Subway Station"...
After all, the popularity of director Zhang Tong and the popularity of celebrities cannot be overshadowed. There is no problem in crushing any interview video of Lu Yuan. But even though he was crushed, Lu Yuan also gained popularity.
After all, he is the singer in the film, and he is the kind of singer whose face is shown for dozens of seconds...
Because of Lu Yuan's fame, his "Buried Alive" gradually became known to netizens in August.
People know that this is a small-budget film, with a total investment of only one million...
However, an actor's movie is really a gimmick!
Many people are looking forward to how a movie with an actor should be made.
Although "Buried Alive" is ranked 49th in the popularity ranking of new films on the movie portal Tomatoes, which is not as good as the eighth film "Capital" by Shen Lianjie, it is still in the top 50, right?
With a small investment of one million, a new director, and a hidden cast of old actors, to be able to make it into the top 50 is an incredible achievement.
Reality is reality after all, and it is impossible for such crazy operations to happen suddenly.
Many things need to be settled, accumulated and brewed.
For Lu Yuan, now he just needs to sleep well, wake up, take a shower and get his hair styled, go to the premiere of "Buried Alive", and then wait for the first day's box office results to come out.
Others...
There's nothing to worry about.
Even if the box office flopped, he was still very calm...
Anyway, I have hundreds of thousands of savings in my pocket. At worst, I can continue to go home and open a store...
……………………
August 30, sunny.
"The movie will be released tomorrow, Brother Shen, are you nervous?"
"What do you think?"
"Not nervous at all."
"That's natural. By the way, have the samples been sent to the Taiwan Golden Horse Awards?"
"Xiao Wang has already sent it over."
"Oh, that's good."
"By the way, I heard that the film "Buried Alive" was also sent over."
"The one about Fatty Wei?"
"yes!"
"Don't tell me this kind of clown thing, or you'll laugh your ass off."
"Brother Shen, Fatty Wei is clamoring to compete with you. Are you going to..."
"What's the point? If an ant is provoking an elephant, can the elephant kill him? What qualifications does Fatty Wei have to compare with me? It's just a movie that a theater chain is willing to ask for. If I ignore him, won't I let him take advantage of me? heat?"
"That's right, just ignore him and let him fend for himself! Brother Shen really has foresight!"
"As long as you understand, don't use this kind of junk information to disgust me in the future. You just need to wait for the box office results to come out and give a brief report. Do you understand?"
"clear."
"Go down."
"good!"
………………………
"Old Wang, your vision is not good enough."
"Old Liu, it's your vision that's not good enough."
"How dare you show this kind of low-budget movie?"
"Haha, it's not necessarily impossible to make a good movie with a small budget."
"You are too idealistic. Wake up. You are no longer young. You should keep up with the film schedule of "Capital". After all, your theater chain can only be considered a second-tier theater..."
"No, how can we change what we have decided..."
"Then it's up to you. When the loss reaches grandma's house, don't talk nonsense with me. I, Tian Qin, will not be so stupid. You are a clothes seller. Don't imitate other people's business in theaters. You can't do it."
