Chapter 15 Sure enough, everything is difficult at the beginning(1/2)
.
"By the way, let me tell you one more thing."
At the dinner table, the two of them drank wine and ate, and when they were about to leave, Director Wan hesitated and decided to say: "On the second to last day of filming, Assistant Song suddenly went to the film and television city in Huangzhou."
"Why is he going to the film and television city?"
"That day, director Li Hongan's crew was filming there. Assistant Song said that he hadn't seen the stars yet, so he ran over to see them up close."
"." Director Li.
Director Wan smiled and said, "Do you also think this excuse is lame?"
"Yes." Director Li nodded in agreement.
Don’t the guests on your company’s show include celebrities?
Although they are not the most popular niche students, they are still passable. Do they need to travel so far to see them?
Besides, he didn't believe that a rich second generation would go out to see some celebrities.
unless
A certain star in this crew knows him or is related to him!
"So, I guess he must be looking for someone, maybe director Li Hongan, maybe a female star in the crew."
Director Wan paused and guessed: "I think he is going for the heroine."
"Why do you say that?"
Director Wan analyzed: "Because there have been rumors in the industry recently that she is secretly dating a rich second generation?
I think Song Yi is quite possible."
"okay."
Director Li smiled and said: "Let's not gossip about other people's private matters. Let's go back and rest early.
In a few days, you will be ready to start shooting the next episode."
After sending Director Wan to the car, Director Li stood there for a while, then took a taxi and went directly to the company without returning to his home.
He disagreed with his old friend's speculation and had other ideas.
Because of the script he had in hand, he suspected that Song Yi ran there not for the woman at all, but for director Li Hongan.
Why?
Maybe I went to ask for advice on some script matters.
It seems that this guy Song Yi is developing into a screenwriter.
That's right, in their film and television circles, screenwriters have a very high status.
After all, directors and actors rely on screenwriters to make a living.
After arriving at the company and opening his office, Director Li waited, picked up "The Desire of the Golden Branch" on his desk again, and then began to read it seriously.
He didn't read very carefully, he only saw a general context and understood what kind of story it was.
So it didn’t take long, just over two hours.
After reading it, he was even more certain that this was not a script that a newcomer could write.
So perfect!
As for the story, it’s hard to say.
What he writes is quite different from, and even runs counter to, the hot topics on the market today.
Here it completely weakens the emotional line between men and women, and puts more emphasis on the story of several women fighting for their own interests.
The story is a good story, but I don’t know whether the market will accept it or not.
No matter what, I will still report it to him according to the original plan, and then say a few nice words to try to facilitate this matter.
In the end, no matter what happens, he will remember his favor.
——
The next day, Director Li went directly to the manager's office without any delay and submitted the script in his hand.
The manager of Penguin Online Video Company is a woman in her forties, dressed in fashionable professional attire, which highlights the temperament of a strong woman.
After she received the script, she didn't read much of the content because Director Li was more professional than her in this aspect.
Every script he can submit should have something in it.
What you have to decide is the return on investment of this script, whether it can be filmed, and what the company will get after filming is completed.
Capitalists are all about profit!
When I saw that the type of script was a palace battle drama, I subconsciously frowned: "This book"
Upon seeing this, Director Li quickly said: "Manager Huang, although this script is a palace battle drama, it actually has a very good story with ups and downs. Although it is not popular in the market now, I think this may be an opportunity."
"Oh?" The woman raised her eyebrows and glanced at Director Li, indicating for him to continue.
"Manager Huang, it is precisely because there are few TV series of this kind on the market and the quality is not high, so there is little competition pressure. As long as we can film it and put it on the market, I think the effect should be good."
The woman thought for a moment and realized that what Director Li said made sense.
but
She still didn't want to take the risk.
To achieve her current position, she actually wants to climb up the ladder and join the group, which is a bit difficult and requires great achievements.
Before that, she couldn't make any mistakes and give people in the group a bad impression!
So to be on the safe side, she decided to veto it.
"Director Li, I don't think it's appropriate. Let's take it back first."
Director Li was hesitant.
Seeing this, the woman asked, "What's wrong? Is there any problem?"
"Manager Huang, this script was actually submitted by Song Yi and he wrote it."
"Song Yi?"
The woman was stunned for a moment and asked: "Is this the young man who was recruited by the company from your department?"
"right."
The woman asked in confusion: "Isn't his position a producer's assistant? Why did he start writing scripts?"
"Yes, I was also surprised at the time."
Director Li confirmed: "However, this script was indeed written by him. It is absolutely true."
She had heard Song Yi's name before, he was recruited by the human resources department.
After the admission, the head of their department came over to report to me and explained the other party's situation and some speculations.
After she heard this, her attitude towards the newcomer was to ignore him or not.
Regardless of whether you are a member of the group or not, I won’t mess with you anyway. You go to your class and I’ll do my thing.
She didn't worry at all that the other party was here to make money from her salary.
After all, it only costs 3,000 yuan a month. If she can afford it, neither can the car the other person drives.
The woman's originally decided attitude of rejection has wavered, just because she is worried about what if the other person is really the son of a certain boss of the group?
After some thought, she adopted a conservative attitude.
"In this case, Director Li, this script can be a project, but during filming, the company can only provide half of the funds."
The woman said: "For the other half of the funds, you need to find investors yourself."
In this way, the company is basically in an invincible position and cannot suffer much loss. In the event of a fire, the company will make a steady profit.
Also, by the way, I can also test whether the young man Song Yi is as everyone guessed.
If he is really someone from the top of the group, he should be able to get this investment.
"Director Li, you can discuss it with him and then get back to me."
"Okay, Manager Huang, I understand."
Director Li nodded, opened the door and went out.
When passing by Song Yi's workstation, he patted Song Yi's shoulder from behind and asked, "What game are you playing?"
"Well"
Being caught on the spot by his supervisor, Song Yi didn't panic at all.
He calmly turned off the web game and replied awkwardly: "I have finished all the work at hand. I was bored and just found a game to play to pass the time."
"It's okay. Our work requires a balance between work and rest."
