40 million, but you still have to see if the script is good or not, and if it’s not good enough, don’t act. Fang Jing’s words can be seen by the students in the class who have not yet gone out into society.
Even Yue Jing, who has already graduated from school, is a little numb. Forty million is enough! Only Fang Jing can refuse. Not to mention that the script is bad, there are probably a lot of people who will overwhelm him if he plays a dog.
Fu Xiaotang pursed his lips and said pitifully: "Teacher, does that mean my dream is over before it even begins?"
Not to mention tens of millions, even six or seven million can enable their family to fry pots and sell iron. Unless her father has a seizure, he will let her make a movie.
"It doesn't count." Fang Jing said, unable to bear to offend the young people: "If you write a good script and can impress investors, some people will be willing to invest in your film."
"Do you know about Dapeng's Sewing Machine Band? He has the final say on the filming content and actors. He didn't have enough funds to find me at first, but when the script turned out to be good, I also voted for it."
"Teacher, can you vote for my script?"
Fang Jing...
Are you kidding me, girl, a movie can cost tens of millions, what do you think?
Investing in a seventeen-year-old girl's script, no, a movie that doesn't even have a script yet, unless he has a brain attack.
"Ahem, student Fu Xiaotang, students should still focus on their studies. These dreams and other things can be discussed in the future. No rush, no rush."
"But I wanted to realize this dream when I was young, but I'm afraid I won't have the chance in the future."
Dreams should be realized immediately without delay. This is the truth summed up by Fu Xiaotang. Who didn’t have a few dreams when they were young? But how many adults just hold on to the idea of waiting and talking about it later.
If it is delayed, it will become a pity that nothing will be done in the end.
Seeing Fu Xiaotang's persistent eyes, Fang Jing chuckled, "Well, you write the story according to the format of the script, as well as all aspects of the budget, venue, actors, props, feasibility report, and come back to me when you're done.
I'll consider it if it's feasible."
"You only have one chance. You'd better think it through and give it to me after you revise it to perfection. It's related to your dream. Don't be perfunctory. If it doesn't work, I won't read it a second time."
Fang Jing can understand that young girls love to fantasize, maybe it's just a whim, and they don't want to do it after three minutes when the heat subsides.
That's why he asked Fu Xiaotang to make a report on the script, budget, shooting location, props and actors, etc.
Not to mention things like budget and props, with her ability and experience, just polishing the script cannot be done in a month or two.
It is estimated that I will stop eating in half a month, this is Fang Jing's idea.
"Yes! Thank you, teacher, I will do it carefully!" Fu Xiaotang nodded heavily.
The bell rang for the second period, and Fang Jing said get out of class was over, and then walked out of the classroom first with the textbooks in hand, ending teaching students for the first time in his life.
In front of the school, an Audi was parked, and Wu Jiajia was stuck here waiting for Fang Jing to return to the company.
With one hand in his pocket, Fang Jing walked out slowly. Beside him were students who had been unwilling to leave for a long time, chattering away.
The school is semi-closed. Except for Saturdays and the end of the day, students are required to live on campus and cannot go out.
Stepping out of the school gate, Fang Jing smiled and waved, "Everyone, go back. See you next semester."
"Teacher Fang, wait!!"
Fu Xiaotang ran from a distance, blocking the way through the door and gasping, "Teacher, you haven't given me your contact information yet, how can I give you the script after I've written it?"
"Also, didn't you say you would invite the students in our class to watch a movie? How can you give us tickets if you don't even join a group?"
They were all in the dormitory, so Fu Xiaotang came over just thinking of these two points. Fortunately, Fang Jing didn't leave, otherwise their movie tickets wouldn't be available next year.
The main thing is that she can't find anyone to sign off for her script.
After thinking for a while, Fang Jing apologized and said with a smile: "Sorry, I just forgot, did you bring your mobile phone? Let's add a friend, form a group, and give everyone the movie tickets later."
"Yes, yes, there is also my script!"
Fu Xiaotang took out his mobile phone and added Fang Jing's WeChat message, Tractor Driver, well, this name is enough, even his nickname is driving. I didn't realize that Fang Jing was this kind of person.
"Let's go, goodbye!"
Without looking back and waving, Fang Jing opened the door of the Audi and got in. The car slowly disappeared from Fu Xiaotang's field of vision.
The next day, a video aroused heated discussion on the Internet. It was forwarded hundreds of thousands of times on Weibo and had over 10 million views on all major platforms combined.
In the video, Fang Jing is playing a guzheng so fast that it flies up, his fingers never resting, and the ferocious sound comes from his fingers. It is Senbonzakura.
The music score was leaked online, and music anchors studied it overnight and imitated it the next day. However, not many could reach Fang Jing's level, and more people said that their hand speed could not keep up.
"To play this piece, you need to have nimble fingers, fast enough speed, and high accuracy. Girls should have an advantage in this aspect."
"Hey, hey, what the poster said is because of my dirty thoughts?"
"This is not a kindergarten car."
"Fuck! You can drive on this broken road."
…
On January 20th, the promotion of Operation Red Sea began. Fang Jing, Zhang Yi, Jiang Luxia and others and director Lin Chaoxian started running the show.
In addition to Operation Red Sea, this year's Lunar New Year film also includes several popular films such as Monster Hunt 2, Detective Chinatown 2, Journey to the West: China, Bears: The Movie, and 19th Generation. The investment and lineup of each film are not small.
, it’s not an exaggeration to say it’s a fight between gods.
The director of Detective Chinatown 2 is Chen Sicheng, and the actors include actor Wang Baoqiang and traffic director Liu Haoran. The total investment is 550 million, which is more than Operation Red Sea.
Monster Hunt 2 has a larger lineup, including actor Tony Leung Chaowei, actress Bai Baihe, Wu Junru, popular niche actor Jing Bairan, singer Li Yuchun, and veteran actor Huang Lei. The investment is 600 million, and the publicity cost is 300 million, adding up to 900 million.
Journey to the West is not weak either, with an investment of 500 million, King Aaron Kwok has joined the cast, Liang Yongqi plays a supporting role, and Zhao Liying also stars.
The 19th generation of the ancestors was directed by Guo Degang. The investment was not much, tens of millions, but there were more than 30 starring stars. In addition to Guo Jiaban, there were also Wu Jing, Wu Xiubo, Yu Qian and others. It was comparable to the second Pancake Man.
There Are Bears is a cartoon with no stars, and the investment is not as high as the previous films, but it has high emotions and many people expressed their interest in watching it.
On February 8th, one week before the Lunar New Year, the premiere of Operation Red Sea was broadcast at the Yanjing Shengda Theater.
Premieres are generally not ticketed, and only film critics, directors, heads of theaters, media, and celebrities are invited, of course, for the final wave of publicity.
As the person in charge of the popularity of Operation Red Sea, Lin Chaoxian left it to Fang Jing to find people to support this character.
A week before the premiere, Fang Jing started calling people, including Wang Han, He Ling, Huang Lei, film critic Shi Hang, Yang Yang, Cheng Weiting, Zhao Liying, Tang Yan, etc., plus company artists, dozens of people.
People walk into the theater.
Zhang Yi and Lin Chao also invited their friends, as well as media reporters, film critics and a small number of staff, and the place was full.
"Sorry, I'm late."
"It's not too late, Brother Jing, where did you come from, sweating profusely?" At the entrance of the theater, Fang Jing and a group of leading actors stood as doormates, coming to welcome each other.
After exhaling, Wu was surprised and said: "I just came from Teacher Guo's place. I came here after watching the nineteenth generation of my ancestors."
