Growing up as a male god: After listening to the advice, I became a top-notch guy

With the popularity of "Cast Away", Lou Zhiguang has been under more pressure these days than the tortoise carrying inscriptions in the temple!

Li Youzhi was previously asked to endorse Xiaoai Intelligent Voice, and he had already submitted the operation plan. This...includes the soft planting of content in Li Youzhi's works.

As Li Youzhi's first film after signing an endorsement contract, "Cast Away" does not include advertising placement of Xiaoai's smart voice. Now let alone the business department, even the head office is paying attention. .

Especially after Shunfeng broke the news about his previous refusal of sponsorship, he has become a joke in the industry!

After receiving interviews and phone calls from several leaders of the company in the past two days, Lou Zhiguang felt regretful and wanted to understand how the company's money should be spent. He just wanted to get the exclusive rights to Li Youzhi's next work. .

But now, facing Li Youzhi's asking price of 30 million, Lou Zhiguang really wanted to cry without tears.

How does Lou Zhiguang feel at this moment?

It's roughly like going to a bathing town and falling in love with a girl with fair skin, good looks and long legs who charges 500/night, but she doesn't want to pay because it's too expensive. When I turned around and realized that I was feeling really uncomfortable, and when I was about to make an appointment with the young lady, I found that someone had already done a live broadcast. Not to mention the stage, even looking at the private photos was a big hit...

After all, I still missed it!

"Xiao Zhi... It's not that I can't bear to give you this price. In fact, the Rice Intelligent Voice Division really can't afford that much budget..."

On the other end of the phone, the bitterness in Lou Zhiguang's mouth was about to spurt out!

"The company has set a total brand promotion budget of 50 million in the first half of the year. It has already spent 25 million on co-title sponsorship of "Single Is Hell" and advertising on several other platforms. Your signed endorsement has paid for it. This year’s ten million...the fifteen million now...is all I can use..."

Feeling Lou Zhiguang's bitterness on the other end of the phone, Li Youzhi smacked his lips.

So, what are the regrets in life?

Is it because when you were young, you didn't study hard to gain a bright life?

Was it because you didn't protect the girl you wanted to protect the most for your whole life when you first fell in love?

neither,

When I give you a chance, it’s useless!

Fifteen million……

Li Youzhi smacked his lips and thought about it for a moment.

In fact, for now, Brother Zhi is really not short of money.

The box office share of "Dear" has already come down, and more than 40 million is lying in the company's account.

In his personal account, the remuneration for the previous "Shao Hai" was split, plus the endorsement fees for this year's two endorsements from Da Mi and Shun Feng, the total after tax was more than 40 million.

If you do the math, the funds you can mobilize now are almost 90 million, rounded up. This kind of money is enough for me to make a decent work.

But if you invest in your own work, how can you feel if someone else invests in your own work?

When you invest in your own work, you have to be careful with your budget, the actors have to consider the use, the studio expenses have to be economical, and even the crew's lunch boxes have to be high-quality and low-priced.

Spending other people's money...what's the point of such concerns! Actors, find the biggest one and stuff it inside. On the set, you have to squeeze in the hardest! Show off the most expensive lunch boxes to the crew members’ mouths!

This thing is just like a girlfriend. There are always two different moods between using your own and using others!

Right?

Silently looking at the newly refreshed task in his suggestion list, Li Youzhi smacked his lips, manually selected it to be pinned to the top, and sighed;

"Okay, 20 million is 20 million. But Brother Lou, we have to agree first. 20 million won't count as your exclusive."

Faced with Li Youzhi's "concession", Lou Zhiguang on the other end of the phone was confused.

()no?

Are you hallucinating or am I just talking?

When did I say 20 million?

"Xiao Zhi, what I just said was fifteen million..."

Hearing Lou Zhiguang's hoarse and confused voice, Li Youzhi smiled and said nothing.

The deathly silence lasted for half a minute, and Lou Zhiguang finally gritted his teeth when he understood what he meant.

"Okay! If it's not exclusive, it's not exclusive. I just ask you to do it quickly... let me have an explanation with the company..."

"It's all right, Brother Lou, just watch it!"

Li Youzhi smiled when he heard Lou Zhiguang's gritted teeth conditions.

After saying to send the money as soon as possible, he hung up the phone directly.

Then, he opened his Weibo!

["Castaway" has just ended, and I was planning to take a break. But I just received a call from the Intelligent Voice Division of DaMi Technology and received a 20 million investment in the commercial film project. Party A demands that the film be released as soon as possible, and the almighty netizens online are asking for suggestions... what should we do with this project? 】

At this time, it was already past nine o'clock.

It's the first day of work on Labor Day. At this time, most of the migrant workers have already finished their morning meetings, and started the day's fishing with the resentment of starting work and the exhaustion of the three-day long vacation.

As Li Youzhi posted this news, the comment area... exploded into pieces!

"Hahahaha, blanch, rice technology finally can't stand it anymore!"

"As soon as I squatted in the toilet, I saw the guy was tweeting, and he burst out laughing. He didn't even talk about making movies now, he just talked about making commercials! Hahahaha, okay! My suggestion for the new commercial is... Make a sequel to "Cast Away"! I haven't seen enough, I haven't seen enough at all!"

"Make a sequel to Woolly! The work "Wild Life" is already complete in terms of core expression and story structure. Why make a sequel?"

"That's right! Such a good guy, you guys need to learn how to develop! The theme of "Desert Island" has been developed to this level by us. Why don't we change the track to let the guy improve? With an investment of 20 million, Party A Or rice technology, isn’t this a science fiction movie!?”

"Ah, yes, yes! The last time I suggested my brother to make a science fiction film, he ended up making "The Beginning". Although it was good-looking, "The Beginning" was obviously pseudo-science fiction! So I don't think that time can be counted. With the investment of the sponsor dad, , this time we will make a real science fiction film. Remember; the scene must be big and the special effects must be explosive! Brother, I am optimistic about you!"

"Fuck, yes, yes, you can have this! Support me in making science fiction!"

"+10008611!"

Beep!

Received a suggested task (shooting a real science fiction-themed work, with a big scene and explosive special effects) with a difficulty level of 6 stars. After completion, you can get an A-level treasure chest!

(⊙ω⊙)Ah...

Looking at the new suggested tasks that were refreshed on the system panel, Li Youzhi blinked.

no……

You guys who have fun, do you have any misunderstanding about 20 million?

That's 20 million, 20 million is not 200 million!

Nowadays, if you want to make a decent science fiction film with big scenes and good special effects, you can’t afford it if you don’t have 80 million to 100 million?

Let’s not talk about anything else. The production cost of “Shanghai Fortress” that Brother Zhi remembers was a whopping 360 million.

Excluding the 300 million yuan in salary and publicity, the 50 cent special effects cost another 50 to 60 million yuan!

Looking at the fun-loving people in the comment area who were completely out of control and enjoying themselves, Li Youzhi took a deep breath.

That’s right, my friends, the suggestions can be outrageous, but they can’t be outrageous!

With this in mind, Li Youzhi opened the comment area, carefully considered his wording, typed out a line of text, and sent it;

"Friends, science fiction themes... are too difficult to produce, and the production cycle is too long. Party A requires us to release the film as soon as possible. If it is science fiction, Party A may have to wait a long time... Of course, how long Party A waits is not important. What is important is The production cycle is too long, and you may have to wait a long time to see it. How about we change it?"

What's the status of the comment section now?

Inspired by the unscrupulous fun-lovers, netizens have completely fallen into self-pleasure mode and have even begun to discuss the two recently released Hollywood science fiction blockbusters to set standards!

As soon as Li Youzhi posted this comment, a kitchen knife immediately floated underneath the comment!

"Hey! Brother, are you floating?"

"If you dare to reject our proposal today, you will dare to dig up our ancestral graves tomorrow!"

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuah, I know people change their minds once they become famous. After all...the day has come for me to be rebellious!"

" @Human Race Great Emperor Li Youzhi, come on, come on, say what you just said again, do you think I can take it off or not?!"

"..."

Taking a deep breath, Li Youzhi silently deleted the comment.

Then, he opened his own system panel;

1. Photograph the work and embed it into the software as much as possible.

2. To shoot a true science fiction work, the scene must be big and the special effects must be explosive.

Li Youzhi's eyes became firm when he saw these two suggested tasks and...the tasks were considered to be generous rewards.

Isn't it just science fiction?

Today is today!

With this in mind, Li Youzhi directly took a screenshot of the suggestion just made in the comment area, edited it into a dynamic message, and sent it out.

After seeing the screenshot in the update and the simple two-word "arrangement", netizens... were completely excited!

"Be good, I'll just pretend that what just happened never happened."

"That's right! It's not like we don't understand your difficulties. Since the sponsor's father is anxious to see the film, you can just shoot the film in parts and show it in parts, and we'll watch the serial for free!"

“Damn, you’re such a clever little guy in front of me!”

"I knew that our little brother would listen to advice the most!"

Beep!

Received amazing points, 1501186 points!

Hearing a system buzz next to his ear, Li Youzhi silently opened the system panel.

After these three days of accumulation, his balance of stunning value has reached more than 21 million!

[User: Li Youzhi]

[Appearance: 94 (upgrading...)]

[Temperament: 93 (upgrade completed)]

[Voice: 92 (upgrading...)]

[Amazing value: 21011201 points! 】

Looking at the record-breaking balance of amazing points, Li Youzhi pursed his lips and withdrew all the amazing points earned in the previous stage.

Next, let’s bring happiness to our eyes first!

With this in mind, he directly invested all of his stunning value into his temperament attributes!

Beep!

[Tip: It is detected that the temperament attribute has increased to the 95-100 range, and the stunning value exchange rate has increased. The stunning value/attribute point ratio in this range is: 1000W:1. Do you want to improve it? 】

Minato!

Seeing that the exchange rate had tripled, Li Youzhi cursed secretly, and then angrily pressed the confirm option.

[Tip: Temperament attributes are being improved, and the estimated completion time is 90 days. After the upgrade is completed, the attributes will be 96 points]

Looking at the reminder option that popped up in front of him, Li Youzhi waved his hand to close it.

Lou Zhiguang called just now, but he really didn't pay much attention to it. He wanted to rest for a few days and adjust his life schedule.

Now looking at this bird ratio, I really can’t slack off!

Thinking like this, Li Youzhi closed his eyes.

Science fiction...Twenty million...

In fact, Li Youzhi himself likes science fiction themes, but this theme...how should I put it, is equivalent to a succubus.

It's seductive... but it's also fatal!

Li Youzhi thought about the 20 million science fiction theme, big scenes and special effects for half an hour, and finally felt that he could only make a fuss about the length of the film.

You can't have your cake and eat it too. With a limited budget, and since the audience demands excellence... it can only be shorter.

After tapping his head and filtering through all the science fiction works in his memory, Li Youzhi suddenly opened his eyes.

It's so short and cute...it could totally make a science fiction short film!

Sci-fi short film... there it is!

After clarifying his thoughts and thinking for a moment, the text of a science fiction work that impressed Li Youzhi deeply appeared in his mind.

Which one?

I remember a short story by Liu Cixin - "Bring Her Eyes"!

Why is this novel so impressive to Li Youzhi?

It was because of this work that he read it in a Chinese textbook when he was in school. Although he saw the abridged version at the time, this science fiction short story left a very deep memory in him.

The length of the novel is not long, even if it is not deleted, it is more than 8,000 words.

According to Li Youzhi's current screenwriting ability, there is no problem in adapting it into a four-act, twenty-to-thirty-minute science fiction short film.

What is this story about?

It's roughly a story about a scientific man who uses sensor glasses to travel with a girl trapped in a spaceship.

In terms of the main structure of the story, this work is actually a "road movie". It’s not too easy to implant a work like this!

The decision is yours!

After quickly clarifying his thoughts in his mind, Li Youzhi directly opened his laptop, quickly created a word document, and started working on it like flying.

In less than an hour, the script of a science fiction short film with only four acts and an estimated duration of 25 minutes was presented on the computer screen!

Seeing that the time was only eleven o'clock, Li Youzhi picked up his phone and opened the WeChat group of Heguang Tongchen.

On May 4th, the first day after the Labor Day holiday, a group of rebels in the WeChat group still maintained their holiday rhythm.

"Hey, I was lying on the sofa wrapped in quilt in the early morning. When I saw the junior students outside who got up early to go to class, I suddenly felt a touch of sadness. Braving the morning dew to rush to class felt so exciting... …”

"Yes, I woke up after nine o'clock in the morning. I wanted to get up but found that there was nothing to do. My adoptive father was too good to me to resign, so I could only lie in bed and play the King of Champions with pay. Suddenly I felt that this life was so decadent, so good. It's so boring to kill your fighting spirit..."

Li Youzhi raised his eyebrows when he saw the comments that Zhou Yuan and Liu Meng had made in the morning.

oh?

Is it?

That's great! You gave me the opportunity to work hard for my father, and now it's here!
