After the filming was completed, I awakened my superpowers.
Chapter 30 My dream is to become a scientist
Chapter 30 My dream is to become a scientist
……
After a moment of silence.
Zhang Qing said solemnly: "Since Yixia is so optimistic about this film, I will also raise two million to join your funds."
"Sister Zhang Qing, you don't have to..." Sheng Yixia knew that she was in trouble and was about to persuade her.
But Zhang Qing interrupted her directly: "Don't try to persuade me, I have made up my mind."
Then, she smiled relaxedly again: "Don't worry, Yixia. Your sister Zhang Qing has nothing else now, but the connections and reputation she has accumulated over the years are still good. It will be easy for her to raise two million."
"Besides, the story you just told is really good. I think I can give it a try. If it works, I can turn things around sooner."
“But what if it’s going to fail?” Sheng Yixia reminded solemnly, “The biggest feature of film and television works is that no matter how loud the hype is, no matter what big IP or S-level project it is, it’s empty before it goes online and is tested by the real money of the market. No one can guarantee that any film will definitely make a profit.”
"It's okay if it fails, it's not like you can't recover." Zhang Qing smiled indifferently, "I'll get you a few more dramas and urge you to become famous. When your salary easily exceeds 10 million, a mere 2 million won't be a big deal."
"Besides, science fiction films require a lot of money. It doesn't mean that they will be popular if you spend money, but if you don't have money, they will be a failure."
Zhang Qing is an old agent and is very clear about the characteristics of various types of films.
Sheng Yixia pondered for a while and said, "Science fiction films do need money, at least they need to have the right quality. I'll ask Sister Zhou if she's willing to invest. She's made a lot of money recently, and she's still very proud of herself."
After obtaining Zhang Qing's consent, he edited a WeChat message with the general situation and sent it to Zhou Shuyue.
It took no more than three minutes.
Zhou Shuyue replied with one word: "Follow!"
Before Sheng Yixia could reply, Zhou Shuyue’s WeChat video came.
Sheng Yixia didn't indulge her. She switched the video call to a voice call and said in a gentle voice, "Hello, Sister Zhou."
"Sheng Yixia, I'm the investor's mother now. I order you to turn on the video call and let me check if your figure is out of shape, immediately, now, immediately!" Zhou Shuyue's arrogant voice came.
Sheng Yixia moved the phone away a little and smiled at Zhang Qing, as if to say, you see, this guy is really quite arrogant, isn't he?
Zhang Qing also smiled and said directly to the phone: "Zhou Shuyue, do you want me to wash Sheng Yixia and personally send her to your room?"
"Ah, Sister Zhang Qing is here too." Zhou Shuyue's voice suddenly sounded a little flustered. "Sheng Yixia, why didn't you tell me earlier?"
Just kidding, the news that Zhang Qing was riding on Ge Minhong's face and madly outputting in Shanghai Entertainment has spread in the industry. I heard that Ge Minhong hasn't gone out for several days and has become autistic.
"Alright, alright, let's get down to business." Sheng Yixia quickly interrupted their hooligan behavior and quickly recounted the situation, saying, "That's roughly the situation. Sister Zhou, how much do you plan to invest?"
Zhou Shuyue was naturally not vague about the serious business of making money: "Since you already have 7 million, I will give you 3 million, so that we can have more confidence when we have an eight-digit integer."
That's how you raise money. If Zhou Shuyue was asked to come up with three million alone, she would definitely think about it for a long time.
But with Sheng Yixia's 5 million and Zhang Qing's 2 million as a foundation, Zhou Shuyue's mentality was completely different. Moreover, she now had some superstition about Sheng Yixia's ability and luck, and she was very happy to pay.
Ten million.
Plus the original 4.3 million that the producer had.
It’s not that the funding is abundant to make a science fiction film at the level of a web movie, but it is relatively sufficient.
When it comes to funds, sometimes the more the better is not the case. With the market size of online movies, if tens of millions of dollars are raised, the possibility of making a profit will be greatly reduced.
"Okay, then Yixia, you sort out the revised manuscript, and I'll go talk to the production team." With tens of millions of funds in hand, Zhang Qing seemed very confident, "What other conditions do you two have?"
With this amount of money, a poor production team can almost do whatever they want.
"I want to be the producer of the group." Zhou Shuyue said without any ambiguity, "If tens of millions of funds are not supervised, who knows what kind of mess those people will make for you."
Although she is preparing for the second part of The King of Traffic, the project will take some time to be implemented. Now that she has nothing to do, she might as well do something.
"That would be the best." Zhang Qing also knew that Zhou Shuyue, as a producer and supervisor, had already worked on three online movie projects and was very experienced in all aspects of the crew.
"I'll go back and work on my ideas and the text and give it to you before eight o'clock tomorrow morning." Sheng Yixia also became serious. He couldn't talk nonsense like he did before. Tens of millions of dollars was not a small amount of money.
Be it him, Zhang Qing, or Zhou Shuyue, none of them want to lose.
Moreover, this is the first project of his studio. Even if it doesn’t make money, it would be best if it doesn’t lose money.
After the three of them divided the work, they started to work on their own.
Sheng Yixia returned home and began to write copy on the computer. He first enriched the background story elements, deduced the reasons for the formation of the science fiction world from factors such as economy and energy disputes, and gave it a detailed historical change line.
Afterwards, I broke the original outline and re-examined the logic, twists, fun, etc. of the story line.
Especially for the character of Dr. Wu, his personality is fully enriched from aspects such as IQ, education, work experience, original family, and growth trajectory, as well as the reasons for the formation of his personality, so that the characters in the plot can stand out. At the same time, the personality of other characters is supplemented to make the characters more full and three-dimensional.
Sheng Yixia is a typical science student. His analysis of the structure of a film or television work is completely different from the perspective of screenwriters with a liberal arts background. In his opinion, the structural framework presented by a complete work should be very clear.
Like a beautiful industrial product, like a sports car.
He can disassemble it in his mind, from the frame to the skin, from the engine to the wheels, each component can be taken out separately in his mind, and can be combined at will in his mind, continuously optimized, and eventually it can become a beautiful product with a complete structure, like a Transformer.
This method may not have a high enough ceiling and cannot produce a literary and artistic masterpiece that is full of soul.
But for a commercial network blockbuster, it can maintain its lower limit and strive for higher.
At least the story structure is clear and logical, with climaxes when they should be, suspense when it should be, passion when it should be, and depth when it should be.
Instead of making the story confusing and incomprehensible.
Under the effect of the divine mind card, Sheng Yixia was very focused and completely immersed in it. He worked very quickly on the revisions, but the workload was really not small. It took him a whole night to finish it. Then he checked it again out of habit before sending it to Zhang Qing.
After doing all this, he couldn't hold on any longer and fell into a deep sleep.
Perhaps because he was too tired, Sheng Yixia had a rare dream.
In his dream, he became a top scientist, overcoming one scientific problem after another until he stood at the top of humanity.
As for Wang Jianfeng and his ilk, they were only fit to stand like minions in the audience, looking at him with eyes of great admiration and shouting "Daddy six six six".
***
Time flew by and two more days passed.
After Sheng Yixia scooped the cat litter and fed Yingjun, he took the elevator down to the underground garage with him. He touched his head and reminded him, "Jun'er, Daddy will go to work to take care of you. You just play near the garage and don't run too far."
These days, as Yingjun recovered his health, he became more energetic and lively. Although he was very well-behaved and never destroyed anything in the house, Sheng Yixia could feel that he could not resist the desire to go out and move around.
Therefore, when Sheng Yixia is not at home during the day, he lets it go out to play and picks it up when he comes back.
"Meow~~" Yingjun responded with a slightly impatient tone, then rushed out in a flash and disappeared in two or three steps.
Seeing this, Sheng Yixia shook his head helplessly.
Yingjun is the smartest cat he has ever seen. It is not known whether he is born smart or if his brain has been developed after being parasitized by the eyeball monster called HS016 by the National Non-Government Affairs Bureau, thus turning a disaster into a blessing.
He had not yet logged into the website provided by the burly man in black to check the information about the supernatural world, naturally in order to do some preparatory work.
The day before yesterday, I got off work half a day early from the drama theater, and bought several second-hand mobile phones at different stalls on the way. In the evening, I tinkered with them for two or three hours in the study, dismantling the parts of these different mobile phones and piecing together an unknown brand assembled computer.
At the same time, he also disassembled the battery and transformed it into an external power supply battery system, which makes it convenient to physically disconnect the power supply of the mobile phone at any time.
The reason why Sheng Yixia knows all these and has a lot of handy tools is naturally because he is studying in the Aurora Engineering Experimental Class, and playing with these is just child's play for him.
He went back home first and made some preparations.
After half an hour.
Sheng Yixia left home carrying a backpack, wearing a mask and a baseball cap.
This time he did not bring his usual mobile phone with him, but instead carried a small amount of cash and a card to take the subway and bus. On the way, he also changed into different colored T-shirts, baseball caps, masks, etc. in the restroom.
After arriving at a commercial plaza in the suburbs, I found a blind spot where there was no surveillance camera and sat down.
Along the way.
Sheng Yixia's keen spiritual perception did not detect any signs of tracking.
After resting for a while, he took out his second-hand assembled computer, used the public WIFI in the nearby shopping mall, opened the mobile browser, and quickly typed in the URL provided by the National Non-Government Affairs Bureau.
The Internet speed was not fast, but the page still appeared quickly.
The page was blank, with only one line of text: "Please believe what you see."
This routine again?
Sheng Yixia concentrated her attention and slightly activated her spiritual consciousness. The page instantly became colorful, with lines of text and patterns emerging.
There is a striking welcome message in the middle of the screen.
"Dear extraordinary person, welcome to the official website of the National Abnormal Event Security Management Bureau (Xiadong Regional Branch)."
