The Female Film Emperor

Chapter 35: Negotiation (below)

The screenwriter Jiang smiled bitterly, "This is my hobby. I have always wanted to make a horror and suspenseful movie since I first entered the industry. But how to say, I have been in the circle for several years, making comedy movies I have filmed TV series, but the horror movie I want to make the most has never had a chance."

"Next year I will be 30 years old. I want to give this film to myself as a birthday gift. No matter the box office is high or low, no matter the word of mouth is good or bad, I want to see it become a movie."

"I know that it is not easy for 1.5 million people to make a movie. However, this is my savings for many years of work. After I am 30 years old, I will probably lose the courage to try and settle for the ordinary."

"You are a newcomer, but you have been tied to Yunyi since your debut, and the topic has always been very high. Can you please show up in the movie and play a role?"

Screenwriter Jiang looked at Zou Yun hopefully, his eyes full of expectation.

Zou Yun understood the meaning of the screenwriter Jiang.

I want to make a film with 1.5 million funds, which means that high-end actors cannot be used, so I can only choose third-line artists and newcomers to play.

She is considered a newcomer, but she is highly topical. If she participates in the film, it will be convenient for speculation when the film is released, and it will attract more audiences to watch it.

"Do you want to shoot that way?" Zou Yun asked.

Screenwriter Jiang smiled bitterly, "You may not believe it. The script of this movie took me the most effort and the most time. The idea I thought was very delicate and the ending was unexpected. But what's the use? The sponsor decided, Horror movies are a niche group. No matter how clever the idea, no matter how good the audience is, not many people will go to the theater to watch it. Most people will only wait for free online resources to watch."

"It's funny to say, the silly and sweet TV series are easy to write. After the show is broadcast, there are many people who scold, saying that there is no brain and logic, but there are many people watching it, and the producer is full of money. No matter how logical the script I’ve worked out, no matter how high IQ is, no one will make money.”

"In the past few years, I have learned some shooting skills from the director. It should be enough. This movie is probably my first and will be my last horror film."

Works with high box office are easy to produce sequels, and themes with low box office are naturally eliminated. This is the default rule in the circle.

Zou Yun considered it for a while and agreed, "I'm participating in the show, but there is a condition that I will be paid 1% of the box office revenue."

Screenwriter Jiang moved.

Even the top horror film in history has a handful of more than 10 million box office. Not to mention that in case it hits the street to the extreme and the number of shows is reduced by the theater, the box office will definitely be terrible.

Zou Yun said this to show that he doesn't care about rewards.

"Thank you so much." The screenwriter Jiang thanked him repeatedly and promised, "There is a supporting role in the movie with few lines, but the character is very good. I will give you that role and I won't waste too much time."

Zou Yun waved his hand, "You are welcome. Give me the "Fraud" script. When I plan to make a movie, I will contact my agent and I will be there immediately."

Sending away the screenwriter Jiang, Zou Yun sat down and read the script carefully.

After watching it for a while, she couldn't help but marvel at the clever design of the script.

**

At the beginning of the game, a female player was deceived of 1 million, and for the time being called this person "x".

The male protagonist replaces the female player, enters the game with the female protagonist, and starts the minority game.

There are two options for each question. Before voting, players have one hour to negotiate with others.

Not long after the game started, the male protagonist came up with a way to win-forming a team of eight.

At each vote, the eight people were divided into two groups to vote. In this case, the worst result is the remaining four people, two of whom are on the same team.

As long as they always vote separately, there will only be two to two, or three to one results.

At the same time, for the sake of safety, the eight people signed a non-betrayal contract, and the prize money was divided evenly after victory.

The game went smoothly, and the losers kept leaving.

When there were ten people remaining, the male lead was shocked that something was wrong, "The game has moved in the most unfavorable direction."

He secretly exchanged voting options with the heroine.

Sure enough, as he expected, the remaining four people stayed.

The hostess was puzzled, and found a reason to stay in the hall to watch the game after leaving the field.

The four people voted to continue.

Before voting, partner a confirms to the male lead, and they each vote for an option. The male lead nodded.

After the voting, the host began to sing the votes.

Opponent b and opponent c voted yes, and the heroine rushed into the game in surprise, announcing that they had won, and shared the joy with her companions.

Companion a suddenly changed his face and said proudly, "I am the only one who won."

Then, a tells his plan. In the male lead's plan, he came up with a better way-to form three teams.

Although there are only 22 participants, if a calls on others and one person participates in three teams, three eight-person teams can be formed.

Even better, even though he occupies three places, he is actually alone. So every time he casts a few options.

In addition, he is playing on behalf of others, so when signing someone else’s name, he presses his thumbprint. The agreement has no legal effect on him or the original owner.

Speaking of happiness, a said excitedly that it was him who cheated the female contestant out of the door.

When a was very much looking forward to the results of the host’s vote and was about to take away all the bonus, the host clearly spit out a few words, "No. 17 no, No. 21 no. Two to two draw, restart voting."

a froze.

The hero stood up slowly and laughed, "I knew you were x a long time ago."

The game restarted, the male protagonist strode directly to the ballot box and tore off the "yes" ballot paper in front of everyone, unfolded the "no" ballot paper, and cast it directly into the box, and let out a wild statement, "This The winner of this game must be me."

The remaining three decided to unite, but there was a disagreement on who would win, and no one could convince anyone.

When it was about an hour, a slowed down, "Anyway, the three of them unite, and he is defeated. This game will first draw, and we will discuss it slowly."

When he was about to vote, b turned around abruptly, wondering about a, "Aren't you trying to play tricks?"

a inexplicable.

b There are good reasons for suspicion, "Since you can lie to us once, you can lie a second time. What are you thinking about?"

The two quarreled endlessly, and c was helpless to persuade, "The time is coming. If you are worried, it is better to give me the yes option and I will vote no."

a, b felt that the solution was feasible, and handed over the option paper readily.

When the time was up, the host began to sing the votes, "22 yes. Win on the 21st."

Everyone was stunned.

The male lead stood up and said relaxedly, "Didn't I say that, I must win."

c said mockingly, "Two fools."

It turns out that the male protagonist has long reached an agreement with the c league.

c After casting two yes, his own ballot also voted yes, only the male lead voted no, so the male lead won the game.

**

"It's amazing." Zou Yun couldn't help feeling.

Just looking at the script, she felt that the play would be popular.

Whether it's Zheng Zhonghong's actor, Yunyi's a, or hers' c, they all look very smart.

a will lose, just because the male lead is stronger.

Zou Yun couldn't wait to go to the dressing room and tell Yunyi and his agent the good news.

After listening, Zhu Gong's body was shocked, "You starred in c?"

Yunyi did not speak, but looked at Zou Yun sadly.

How can you help outsiders to bully him? Shouldn't you be a spy and help him win the game!

"Well, I have read the script. C is considered the most brilliant character besides the protagonist and the villain boss. Although there are not many words, it is impressive." Zou Yun said seriously.

If it weren't for the screenwriter Jiang to ask her for help, she might not have her turn to play c.

Zhu Gong can imagine how netizens will openly discuss after the unit drama is broadcast.

Zheng Zhonghong, Ren Li, and Zou Yun teamed up to defeat Yunyi, and people can't help but suspect that this fraud game deceives emotions, so the three victims joined forces to kill the scumbag!

"..." Zhu Gong couldn't help hiding her face when she thought of such a scene in the future.

"There are too few shots in c, so go to the screenwriter Jiang and change the role." Yunyi pretended to be thinking of Zou Yun, phoning his own business. I thought to myself, it's best to change to a role that is embarrassed and commits evil together.

Zhu Gong saw through someone's little abacus at a glance, and ruthlessly pierced his good expectations, "No need to change, c is fine. Except for a, there are no other villains in this unit drama. Instead of changing to a humble dragon suit, Play c. I just finished reading the script. In the last poll, the scene of c flicking a and b was impressive."

"By the way, I promised Jiang to write the screenplay, and then I will appear in a horror suspense film directed and written by her." Zou Yun reported to the agent for the itinerary, "Fraud is written so well, the movie should not be bad. In addition, she promised The movie role won’t be too much trouble, just play a supporting role.”

Zhu Gong looked at Zou Yun blankly, with a bit of disbelief in his words, "You just decided the first movie role so easily?"

Without discussing it with her, he agreed to screenwriter Jiang, only to inform her afterwards.

Zhu Gong was slightly mad. In fact, she has been secretly looking for a suitable movie role for Zou Yun.

Because she was too picky, the brilliant script director didn't like Zou Yun, and the ordinary she didn't like the script, so things dragged on for a long time.

Unexpectedly, Zou Yun would agree to Jiang's invitation.

Actually participating in a horror suspense film... Zhu Gong couldn't help his head being big, and he went to the street properly. Comedy movies with vulgar laughs are better than suspense movies!

If you knew this, it would be better to pick a dragon sleeve from a blockbuster as a starting point.

Listen to what Zou Yun said, it won't be too much trouble, just play a supporting role. How to play this kind of role! !

"I'm a newcomer. Playing more different roles will help you improve your acting skills." Zou Yun is not serious. For her, she had notified her agent, and the matter was over.

Yunyi suddenly spoke and said firmly, "I also want to participate in a suspense drama."

He hopes that the two will perform together in all the works that he will follow.

Zou Yun touched Yunyi's head and comforted him, "You have a total of three months on vacation, and the remaining time is running out. I will perform together next time."

Upon hearing this, Yunyi immediately winked at the agent and drove to the next director to talk to.

Zhu Gong remained motionless, looking back coldly. If she really had to do it, she would only choose to crash the actor into the hospital.
