In the end, the two people didn’t sign any contract.
They are all open-minded people. Anyway, everyone knows that the crew is a grassroots team. No, according to what Director Li Dongfeng said, everyone is just for art, so don’t be so serious. What kind of contract are you signing? Giving Ye Ming 500 yuan is considered
Deposit.
Ye Ming also had some surprises: "Director, you just paid me for this thing, and you didn't even sign the contract, so you trust me so much? Aren't you afraid that I'll run away with 500 yuan?"
Director Li Dongfeng was very rude and said with a snort: "500 yuan, are you short of this 500 yuan? It is worth 500 yuan if you can really see a person clearly. I am short of money, but
I don't lack the 500 yuan, and I still believe in my own judgment of people.
You are the most suitable actor for my current movie. I'll tell you the truth. You look a little silly.
The kind of kid who comes from the countryside who is easily deceived. Such a temperament cannot be achieved by city students.
I guess even if he is an Oscar-winning actor, if his family is from the city, he may not be able to perfectly portray the rustic, silly and decadent feeling you have.
You don’t know that when I first looked at you, I thought, oh, if you squatted on the curb with a broken bowl, I would probably give you a 10-8 yuan one. You really don’t have that kind of temperament.
Ordinary people can perform it.
You should indeed have grown up in a rural area, which is really difficult to act in. So, I still think you are very suitable for my movie. I hope you can participate in my movie.
Since I want you to participate in my movie, of course I have to show my sincerity. I can’t show you a lot of sincerity, but I can still show my sincerity with 500 yuan. Besides, I can show my sincerity.
They didn’t say that all the 500 yuan would be given to you, right?
If you need to buy some costumes or something, just buy one based on the outfits of those people who go out to work in your village. Don’t worry about the rest. Anyway, our crew doesn’t have makeup or stage management or anything like that.
Well, you can do it yourself.
So the 500 yuan given to you is not given to you for free. You can go and buy something yourself.”
To be honest, Director Li Dongfeng is indeed very generous. He was very open about this matter. He didn't even sign the contract, but just gave him 500 yuan. Although it was considered as self-installation fee, it showed his talent after all.
When sincerity comes, you will indeed show your sincerity.
This point makes Ye Ming believe that he really wants to make his own movie well. Although it is estimated that director Li Dongsheng may not have much money at hand, he still shows his majestic side.
It can be said that he is thirsty for talents now. Even Ye Ming is a little embarrassed to get off the pirate ship at this time.
Just when the business was concluded and the two of them were about to break up, a gentle-looking guy wearing a suit and gold-rimmed glasses came in from outside with a panicked expression.
After he came in, he hurriedly walked to Director Li Dongfeng and said anxiously: "I'm sorry, director, there are some problems here.
As for Boss Han, he is not going to invest anymore, he is going to withdraw his capital, so our 40,000 yuan is probably going to be wasted.
Without the 40,000 yuan from Boss Han, it would be impossible for our crew to continue filming. Renting a camera and buying film all require money. These are all processes, no matter what.
It's the kind of thing that can't be saved. Even if we find connections to get it cheaper, if we rent a camera, it's impossible to buy film cheaply at this time.
So, we are budgeting carefully at this time, and 100,000 yuan is considered to be no less. If it is any less, it is impossible to lose almost half of it at once, and our crew is afraid that it will be ruined.
It is estimated that this dream of ours will be very difficult to maintain. Without money, it is impossible to continue.
Especially since we have lost almost half of our money all of a sudden, it will be even more difficult for this crew to survive."
Director Li Dongfeng said very strangely: "Then why? Didn't Boss Han make a good statement? He said he would invest 40,000 yuan for us to live in. He said it was good when we were drinking yesterday, but why did he change his mind today?
?
Does this person have any credibility?"
At this time, Golden Glasses also said helplessly: "Maybe we communicated with the director, there is some misunderstanding. Boss Han invested in our movie, he meant to let his secretary Lulu come to our meeting
But Lulu now insists on playing the leading female role in the movie.
The second female lead doesn’t want to work, right?
We had agreed before that she would play the second female lead. However, after Lulu saw the script, she thought that the second female lead was just a supporting role that could not be smaller, and there was no chance for her to shine at all, so what?
She wants to play the female lead.
But, if you want to find a professional actor to play the lead female director, think about Boss Han’s secretary Lulu. She can’t be a professional actor. So, we can’t let him play the leading female lead.
Number.
This thing, Boss Han said that if his secretary is not allowed to play the female lead, he will withdraw funding.”
Director Li, as for Director Li, pondered for a moment with some worry, and then continued: "You didn't tell them that our female lead is a woman who has made a mistake, and what she is going to perform in it is a woman who has made a mistake and has been through the battlefield."
Woman, would she be willing to let her female secretary Lulu play the lead role in this thing?"
At this time, the gold-rimmed glasses immediately said helplessly: "Before, I also talked about this matter with Boss Han and Lulu, and said that our female lead is a four-legged woman. In fact, she is not very showy.
Yes, you may not be able to be more successful if you act. However, Lulu said that she can dedicate herself to art and can play a fallen woman for the sake of art. She thinks it doesn't matter, she just wants to play the leading female role."
At this time, Director Li Dongfeng felt a little uncomfortable. He still had to have a bottom line. He conceived his own movie and spent 100,000 yuan to shoot it. This was already the limit.
Every detail has been clearly portrayed. If the female lead is to succeed, there must be a professional actor who can perform the soul of the entire movie. There are two male leads and a female lead.
As for the male lead, he is just a silly young man from the countryside who comes out to make money. It is not wrong to find Ye Ming in this regard. He has this kind of temperament in him. This is not just pretending. He really has that kind of person who comes from the countryside.
A silly temperament.
In fact, it was because of some of Ye Ming's experiences in the digestion class over the past two days that he was in a trance. It was because he was tired and panicked. However, at this critical moment, he was discovered by Director Li Dongfeng.
.
It was a coincidence that director Li Dongfeng decided that Ye Ming had the kind of silly temperament he was looking for in a leading actor. Only in rural areas with that kind of silly temperament would a young man who came out of the countryside be so easy to fall for.
The woman was deceived.
Eh, so, from now on, this person can be purely natural.
There was nothing wrong with finding Ye Mingzhu, and the two of them had already settled on it, which made Director Li very happy.
This female lead is also very important, so it is necessary to find a professional to perform, because a professional is an ordinary tour in terms of explosive power and camera sense, or a level that ordinary people cannot achieve.
So, at this time, Lulu, the investor’s secretary, wanted to say that after starring, this is simply impossible. If an ordinary person is allowed to play the female lead, then the movie can be said to have basically collapsed by half.
.
This movie is his own hard work, so at this time, Director Li has no intention of compromising.
At this time, Director Li thought for a while and said: "Go and discuss with him again and see if you can persuade him. If it doesn't work, let's talk about something else. If it doesn't work, then we will have to find someone else."
Other people, see if other people can invest some money. If it doesn't work, eight or ninety thousand yuan will do, right?
Let’s look for another 20,000 to 30,000 yuan and see if any boss is willing to invest.”
At this time, Golden Glasses shook his head and said: "Of course I have already talked to Boss Han and Lulu. We also talked for about an hour. I tried my best to say a lot of good things, but
Well, Boss Han and Lulu insisted that we should either be the number one female or divest our investment. Let us choose one of these two.
And give him an answer as soon as possible. Boss Han said that if he doesn’t answer before dinner today, then he will directly withdraw the investment and let us play by ourselves. "
When Ye Ming heard this, he had almost heard it. He just wanted to resolve this matter as soon as possible and finish filming the movie as soon as possible, because his vacation was indeed not particularly sufficient.
So, if this matter continues to be delayed, it will be impossible to complete the film.
So Ye Ming finally thought about it and said: "Director Li, if possible, how about I participate in this investment? I can afford 40,000 yuan.
In this case, we can be partners, and I can lead the financial team."
Director Li was stunned for a moment. He looked at Li Lei as if he were a monster for a long time and then said: "Well, 40,000 yuan is not a small amount. Student Ye Ming, you need to think clearly.
As for my movie, I am of course very confident, but I can’t guarantee what kind of result it will have in the end. I can work very hard to film it, but, I
In fact, I know it very well in my heart.
It is simply impossible for this movie to be released in China. I didn’t plan on having it released in China when I started making this movie, so I tried to win over Boss Han to invest in it, and then promised that his secretary would play the second female lead.
Is it because I think 40,000 yuan is nothing for a big boss like Boss Han, and it doesn’t matter even if he loses money.
But 40,000 yuan is an astronomical amount of money for a student like you. If you really lose money by investing in my movie, I'll be a little sorry for you.
Although I may have various problems, I still have my own bottom line, right? I think it is a bit unforgiving to cheat a child out of his money.
So I have to make it clear to you first: if you invest this money, there is a high probability that you will never get it back.
Besides, are your family willing to invest? Can you be the master of the family with 400 yuan? 40,000 yuan is not a small amount."
Ye Ming waved his hand and said with a smile: "I also want to give this movie a chance to be completed? As I said just now, I really don't have much time. I still have to go to school, and it costs 40,000 yuan.
It's really not a big amount for me, I earn enough during my vacation.
I also have a pocket money of my own. It must be more than 40,000 yuan. I haven’t looked at the details. It seems to be deposited in a Swiss bank. It’s all in US dollars, pounds, francs and the like. I haven’t looked at the exact amount.
, but, no matter what, there is definitely 100,000 yuan.
So, money is not a big deal to me. I can be the master of my own money. What I want is to make this movie as soon as possible. Then, I can go back to school.
."
When I heard that it was not only Director Li, but also the gold-rimmed glasses, I was a little shocked. Good guy, I didn't expect that the high school student sitting in front of me who looked like a beggar was actually such a student.
A wealthy man who is not short of money.
This is just talking about pounds, dollars, francs, etc. Isn’t that much pocket money?
Is that house really the kind that has a mine? Could it be that I met a rich second generation?
Could it really be that the crew really had their fortunes turn and met a hidden rich second generation?
Director Li immediately understood and said: "This classmate, let's talk about it first. 40,000 yuan is really not a small sum. You have to think clearly. Do you have any money in your home?"
Mine, 40,000 yuan was given immediately.
We are not a crew that cheats money. We really work hard for art. We are not a crew that cheats money. Although we are a crew that cheats money, we are not a crew that cheats money. We work hard for art.
Caotai team.
We can’t fool you, a student, just to make our movie. Our crew still has our own bottom line, at least we won’t do things like defrauding people of money.”
Ye Ming, as for Ye Ming, said very definitely at this time: "Don't worry, Director Li, I am sure that all this money is my own money, a little money earned from my usual part-time job, and some of my New Year's money and so on. 40,000 yuan is right
For me, it's really not a lot.
Let’s put it this way, our family has shares in the Nuclear Film and Television Base, which has been making a lot of noise in the entertainment industry recently. So it’s not difficult for me to have some pocket money and so on, right?”
