King of Special Effects

Chapter 263: Money is a bastard! (78)

After reading so many scripts, it was the first time that Yi Yang felt that he would be terrified when he read the scripts.

Such a thick stack of scripts is printed out on A4 paper worth a few cents a piece, but to make a movie, you have to spend thousands of times and tens of thousands of times thicker than this script, and it involves such a large A military system is not a joke. If Yi Yang is asked to pay for it this time, he will not do it even if he is killed.

However, if you think about it in another direction, if you can make this movie, the effect may be better than Yi Yang imagined.

To shoot or not to shoot, and whether to sign any contract now, Yi Yang has the right to refuse.

Holding the phone, Yi Yang was confused: "Director Yu, it's not impossible for me to take pictures, but can I have a small request?"

"What request?"

"It's just... I have never been a soldier. To be precise, I have never even seen a barracks. I have seen everything about it on TV or the Internet. If I make this movie, can I let the Should I stay in the barracks for at least three or four months? It’s best to visit every branch of the army.”

"Don't worry, I can sign a confidentiality agreement, or memorize the army's confidentiality regulations for you. After I come out, I won't say what I should say, let alone what I shouldn't say. How about it?"

Yu Lang laughed loudly: "Let you stay in the barracks for a few months, you have such a beautiful idea!"

Yi Yang looked helpless: "Then I can't help it, you want me to make this movie well, but I haven't even touched the barrel of a gun, how can I do it well?"

Yu Lang's words were still full of smiles: "That's not right, you haven't fought a war, but you still did a good job on "537.9", and now the box office has exceeded four billion yuan. You earn at least 1.5 billion yuan."

Although it is impossible to stay in the barracks for a few months, Yi Yang still intends to fight for it: "How can it be the same, why don't you say that the script of "Warrior" is twice as thick as "537.9", Can they pay for the military art center's co-production? If they don't pay, I'll have to throw the money in piles and piles in the end, right?"

"I don't care about this!" Yu Lang's words sounded like a rogue: "With your current reputation as director Yi Yang, if you want to invest, just say it, and some people will vote for you!"

"This... Well, Director Yu, the money is fine, but if my film is not good, it will lose the face of our team. Also, most of the people in our country don't believe in Jesus, Buddha or even God. , the only belief is our lovely warrior, if this movie is not made well, then the people of the whole country will poke my spine and scold me to death."

"I have a thin skin, and I can't stand scolding. Besides, it doesn't matter if you scold me. If we are scolded by Lu Zheng and military art, then it's okay?"

"Haha!" Yu Lang laughed loudly: "You boy, all right, I'll try my best to arrange it, but I'm just a small director of the propaganda department, it's impossible to do this 10,000% of the time, I can only fight for it. I'll let you know if there's any result, you should prepare first, and shoot it as soon as possible!"

"Two years!" Yi Yang said directly: "I can't shoot in two years!"

"Get lost, you, at most one year!"

Yi Yang: "Ah!"

After hanging up the phone, Yi Yang looked at the thick stack of scripts on the table, this is a script, yes, it is a script, why don't we burn it?

If I don't burn it, it will cost me hundreds of millions.

Money or script?

Want a script or money?

"Fuck him, money is a bastard, we have to respect our dreams!" Yi Yang said the lines of a comedy movie.

After making a few movies, Yi Yang can barely be considered a literary worker, most of whom are cultural people.

Is this a movie we made?

This is not a movie, this is a symbol, a masterpiece!

"Well, that's true. If you do it, it's a big deal to go back and make jokes!"

Yi Yang talked to himself to convince himself to accept the script.

Yuan Zhengzhong came out of the office, walked up to Yi Yang and sat down: "Brother Yi, is this a new script? Is it so thick?"

Yi Yang hugged the script in his arms in a hurry, his expression was as if he was holding a bank check worth hundreds of millions.

"I would like to say hello to you in advance. Our life next year may not be so easy. No one is allowed to touch this script before I get my permission. Whoever touches me will never end with anyone."

Yuan Zhengzhong stared blankly at Yi Yang, and it took him a while to realize: "Brother Yi, it's just a script. Is it the same as doing underground work?"

With a horrified expression on his face, Yi Yang slowly approached Yuan Zhengzhong, and then burst out laughing.

Yuan Zhengzhong was taken aback for a moment: "Brother Yi, are you insane?"

"Let me tell you, although I haven't finished reading the script, I'm sure that if it is filmed, it will either go bankrupt, or it will set a new box office record for our domestic movies."

Yuan Zhengzhong was taken aback again, and said in surprise, "Five billion?

"It's more than five billion!"

"I only read two words just now. Is it "Three-Body Problem"?"

Yi Yang shook his head: "No, but don't ask, keep a sense of mystery!"

Science fiction films are indeed the best subject to enter the international film market, but before that, Yi Yang has to complete the small goal of being number one in China.

······

After putting the script in his backpack and putting it away, Yi Yang went to open the other two packages, one of which was signed by Ling Lan.

He looked at it, and then called Ling Lan out.

Yi Yang and Ling Lan opened the package one by one.

"Pudong International Film Festival!"

"Starting Point Annual Meeting Invitation Letter!"

Yi Yang hurriedly went over to have a look: "When, don't pile these two important dates together."

Ling Lan looked at the date: "They're not together, they happened to be two days apart, and they're all in the same place, so there's no need to run back and forth."

Yi Yang put down the invitation letter and leaned on the rocking chair: "If I can win an award, it will be a perfect end to this year."

Yuan Zhengzhong smiled: "Where the box office reputation is, it is only natural to win the best film award. Oh, when "Zi Gaodi" won the award, the leading role and supporting role were not clear, and "537.9" was even more unclear, even if it won the award. , who is the best actor for?"

"It depends on the arrangement of the organizer, but the best actress is more embarrassing than the best actor. If Su Qi wins the actress with just a few shots, then all the actresses in the country will have to think about it." She was killed!"

"Yeah, the only female character in this movie is Su Qi, which is really embarrassing!"

Yi Yang put away all his things: "I'll look at this matter later, Lao Yuan, let everyone have dinner tonight!"

Yuan Zhengzhong looked helpless: "Eat again, we have eaten dozens of times in this month"!

"It doesn't matter, to celebrate, you have to eat!"
