Middle Age: A Leisurely Life in the Entertainment Industry

Chapter 122 The Choice of the Female Number One
Yu Dongqing greeted her daughter and father-in-law, explained the reason and prepared to return to her home.

Before leaving, the mother-in-law said with concern: "Dongqing, don't be too tired, don't stay up late, huh?"

"Uh-huh."

Yu Dongqing quickly agreed.

In fact, there is really no need to stay up all night.

I have replayed this short film no less than ten times, and I remember the plot clearly.

Yu Dongqing drove back to her home in Rending Lake, made a cup of Longjing first, then sat in the study and turned on the computer to start typing.

"Old Boy" is just a micro-movie, but the length of the film is 40 minutes. Yu Dongqing decided to compress it to less than half an hour and delete some unnecessary plots to make it more compact.

There are not many characters in this short film, the most important thing is to shoot that kind of taste-in terms of film style, the director "Chopsticks Brothers" borrowed more Internet elements, exaggerated, nonsensical and even slightly absurd narrative, making the short film full of Jokes and baggage, especially the first half, but it's a tragedy indeed.

I don't know if Mingmei can shoot it?This will test her directing skills.

It can be said that he made a lot of money that time.

Of course, the specific amount of income has yet to be determined, and the crew's finances are still being easily calculated, but the difference in the results will be too small.

Han Qingqing drove home to put on the camera equipment, took a rest and drove straight to the Chinese opera campus.

"Well, he will take a look first, and communicate if there is no problem."

After hanging up Mingmei's phone call, Han Qingqing smiled.

Of course, Yu Dongqing fought for the assistant director. He said that he had passed the directing exam back then, but now he wants to become a director.

"Tell me how you feel."

Ah?
Yu Dongqing?
"You think it's suitable for Cheng Cong to play that role, and his youthful appearance is very suitable for Yu Peipei's role." Yu Dongqing suggested.

The main thing is not the actors.

"Um"

It is generally alleys, the most high-profile Beijing-style alleys. There is no complete story outside each alley. The blue bricks and ancient tiles are full of years, retaining the traces of the old Yanjing, and experiencing the taste of the old Yanjing and the atmosphere of the city.

He is also quite pretty, and he has taken on plays in the film before, but he has no acting experience, so it is suitable for him to be the male number one.

The micro-movie that Mingmei shot must have had a wrong effect, and it can make a lot of money if it goes back to commercial operation.

"Brother-in-law, do you think that the second half of the script is funny but a tragedy, it must have such a contrasting effect and not make people feel awkward, the most important thing."

Han Qingqing put on her mobile phone to exercise her body and exercised on the treadmill for a while. Just as she was about to wash up, her mobile phone rang. It was Mingmei.

I am just a screenwriter, and the rest is up to you as the director.

That is, Mingmei was discussing with her good friend Yu Dongqing outside the dormitory.

Cheng Cong is a loner in the dormitory, how is his relationship with the other eight of you, do you know if you are willing to help?
"You know. You are going to let Yu Dongqing be responsible for the scene and dance beauty of the movie."

Han Qingqing remembered, it was Mingmei's roommate, this boy wearing glasses, he met once last year when he went to see a drama filmed by Mingmei.

"It's bad. He's going to study quickly. You are going to wash up and go to bed. Bye, he also goes to bed early." Han Qingqing hung up the phone after finishing speaking.

Although it is a micro-movie, the sparrow has all the organs, such as photography, choreography, sound effects, costumes and so on.

After two hours of typing, seeing that the time was approaching eleven o'clock, Yu Dongqing read the manuscript, checked some typos, and then threw it directly into Mingmei's WeChat.

"Is it true that you still need to invest?" Fei Xiangli asked back.

"Bad. He is a small director. You are now a big actor. He has the final say." Han Qingqing joked.

"Brother-in-law, he came to your school this morning. Let's hold a meeting with the film crew to study some specific issues, and strive to start filming as soon as possible! You also told Brother Zhang Yang."

The two heroines are played by Fei Xiangli and Zhang Yang, so Yu Beibei, the number one male school belle, is especially important, and it has not been fully determined until now.

"He is the director, those he decides, your current role is just a screenwriter." Fei Xiangli laughed.

Bright is very busy today.

After finishing, I swiped my mobile phone outside the living room, and then went out with the camera, drove around in the small streets and alleys in the distance, and took some photos.

I hate taking landscape photos too much, and I hate realistic photos full of human fireworks.

"Brother-in-law, you are now collaborators! You are, but you hope to win an award, and at worst you can also operate it commercially. It will be a loss if you fight for it!"

After deducting costs, taxes, theaters, theaters, and distribution, the income that falls to investors is about 30%, not 1.26 million.

It should be said that he has been busy since he came back from the yard of Liu Yimin's house at noon yesterday.

It's not bad, you haven't set up a crew yet, you just made adjustments based on Han Qingqing's script.

"Hee hee. Those who know you, brother-in-law too." Mingmei smiled from outside the phone: "You have made preliminary calculations with your friends this morning. You must want to make a bad film. If 2 yuan is enough, even if the actors are friendly, everyone For a symbolic remuneration, the copyright fee for the songs sung by the protagonists in the script alone is estimated to be tens of thousands?"

"He's right."

Cheng Cong is also in the same dormitory as Mingmei and us, at the same level, and he is an outstanding student who studied acting, a serious subject in the four classics.

"Hee hee, brother-in-law is really bad. He was in the teaching building of your director department at two o'clock in the morning. He will call you when he arrives."

Han Qingqing gave Mingmei a thumbs-up, and immediately saw the key point.

Han Qingqing's investment accounted for 19.35%, and after deducting the investment of 190 million, he made a small profit of 2200 million. He also had to pay 20% of personal income tax, and his net profit was nearly 1800 million!
"Not yet, Mingmei. When filming, you must pay attention to the nostalgic elements of the scene and dance, and be real! That micro-movie is not a nostalgic film for people watching before [-]." Han Qingqing still couldn't help reminding.

"Okay, stop, stop, don't cry poor, your investment is bad, and you pay the rest of the funds." Fei Xiangli immediately stopped the other party's words.

"That's right, brother-in-law, he's also one of the heroines and he's also in charge of pre-production music!" Mingmei hastily added.

At noon, Han Qingqing also wanted to go home and cook, so she carefully found a noodle restaurant and ordered a bowl of noodles with fried sauce, and received a call from Mingmei after eating.

Bright and beautiful seconds back.

The boy also took the initiative to ask to add me as a bad friend on WeChat. In addition to sending greetings during festivals, there are many contacts.

On the seventh day, although Han Qingqing was sending her son off to school, she still got up on time, put on her sports clothes and went to the park for a quick run along the lake before coming back to wash and eat.

Han Qingqing was very satisfied.

Yu Dongqing's title in the crew is: assistant director and stage designer.

"OK!"

"Without props and pre-production, you estimate that 70 yuan is not enough! The director has to pay for it himself. You are still a poor student after all with that little money. Like him, you can earn tens of millions just by investing in a movie."

"finish watching?"

"Brother-in-law, did you finish writing so soon?"

Quite a few tasks.

"Teacher, You're Bad" has been released for two months and has yet to be released in early August. According to preliminary statistics, the box office revenue is as low as 4.3 million!

In this regard, Yu Dongqing does not intend to participate and interfere too much, and she will play everything.

It's too bright but not firm.
