Chapter 79 - Famous Director Meet Vase Traffic 8
Seriously, AXiu is too cute!
Yan Jingze was thinking about this when he heard Liu Leyan’s voice coming from the room: “AXiu, Are you waiting for Director Gu?”
“Waiting.” Su Moxiu said.
Liu Leyan came out of the room and smiled at Yan Jingze: “Director Gu, AXiu has something to talk with you, he has been waiting for you since early in the morning!”
Yan Jingze was taken aback for a moment, and then asked, “Why didn’t you call me?”
Liu Leyan laughed: “Director Gu, you quarreled with people until midnight last night, we were afraid to disturb you.”
“Call me if there’s anything in the future, or you can send a message.”
“Okay!” Liu Leyan said, “Next time if there’s anything, I’ll send you a message, Director Gu.”
“It’s not you, it’s me.” Su Moxiu gave Liu Leyan a dissatisfied look.
“Aren’t we the same?” Liu Leyan asked.
Su Moxiu was very serious: “We’re different.”
Liu Leyan: “…” Forget it, she’s used to it!
Su Moxiu came back from abroad, he didn’t understand other people’s jokes. He often only understands the literal meaning, so he also had some strange insistence. She shouldn’t care!
“By the way, do you want to go to my house to discuss the investment?” Yan Jingze looked at Su Moxiu and chuckled.
Su Moxiu’s heart beat faster: “Yes!”
“Then let’s go!” Yan Jingze said.
Su Moxiu followed immediately.
Liu Leyan: “Wait a minute, my suitcase is still inside…”
Yan Jingze had a car, but was driven away by his assistant.
Relying on his relationship with the original owner, this assistant is really unscrupulous.
However, with Yan Jingze’s current situation, it is true that he cannot drive. Drug driving is more terrible than drunk driving.
Taking Su Moxiu’s nanny car and making Liu Leyan drive, relying on the navigation, the three came to Yan Jingze’s residence.
Then Liu Leyan learned that Su Moxiu was going to invest in Yan Jingze’s movie.
Liu Leyan was stunned: “AXiu, you…” Is Su Moxiu crazy? If he just invested in Director Gu’s movie, that’s fine, but the point is…He had promised to take part in it before.
Director Gu let Su Moxiu take part in the role, it should not be a small role, so the movie will surely lose money, right?
Wait, the point is not this, but…Su Moxiu was able to come up with 100 million!
This is too rich!
After entering the entertainment industry, many people earn more but they also spend more, so they don’t have much money. She didn’t expect Su Moxiu to be so rich!
“What?” Su Moxiu looked at Liu Leyan in puzzlement.
“Do you want to think about it again?” Liu Leyan asked.
“I’ve thought about it.” Su Moxiu said.
What Su Moxiu has decided cannot be changed by others. Liu Leyan no longer persuades him, but she is still a little excited — she always knows that Su Moxiu likes to save money, but she didn’t know that Su Moxiu has saved so much!
Woah, put it in the bank to consume the interest, and one can live comfortably for the rest of their life!
Liu Leyan couldn’t recover, but Yan Jingze looked at her: “AXiu’s contract with your company is about to expire? My contract with him will be signed after he terminates the contract. As for you…are you interested in coming to work in my studio?”
Yan Jingze is actually not familiar with filming, forming a crew and so on.
Fortunately, the original owner has a detailed process in his memory.
The original owner also had a studio set up purely for the purpose of reducing taxes.
Liu Leyan hesitated a little.
Yan Jingze said: “You may not be able to bring out a star like Su Moxiu in your original company. It will be different when you come to me. If you continue to follow Su Moxiu, I will not treat you badly.”
Yan Jingze is confident that Liu Leyan will agree. The entertainment industry is not doing well recently, and the small company that Su Moxiu was originally working for really has no future.
After thinking about it, Liu Leyan did agree.
“Then, let’s have a happy cooperation! Next, everyone will work together for my new movie!” Yan Jingze said.
Liu Leyan suddenly remembered something at this moment: “By the way, Director Gu, what is your new movie going to be about?”
After struggling for so long, she still doesn’t know what movie Director Gu wants to make!
Yan Jingze said: “I plan to make a science fiction film.”
Liu Leyan: “???” Did she hear it wrong? Director Gu wants to make a sci-fi movie?
Is a sci-fi movie really good?
This requires a big production and good special effects!
And sci-fi movies are all big scenes, and big scenes… To be honest, Director Gu is not good at it.
What he is best at is portraying the joys and sorrows of common people.
Yan Jingze said: “Don’t worry, my sci-fi movie will definitely explode.”
Yan Jingze chose to make science fiction films because he can only make this.
In the current domestic market, if he wants to be a hit at the box office, in addition to requiring a good plot and good acting skills in the movie, it is best for the scene to be bigger and more 3D.
People who like to watch movies and like to watch a movie twice and thrice are still in the minority. Most ordinary people that go to the cinema in a year can count only a few numbers.
They usually don’t go to the movies very much, but if a movie is particularly popular, they will drag their families to watch it.
So, as soon as they go…the movie will blow up.
As far as Yan Jingze’s current situation is concerned, making a movie with a box office of hundreds of millions, although it can make money, that little money is of little use to him.
He should make a phenomenon-level movie that everyone loves.
But this kind of movie is really not easy to make.
Even though he has a lot of stories in his mind, it is not easy to turn them into movies, especially…he is actually a person without much artistic talent.
He could only find another way.
For example…to make a very realistic sci-fi movie with explosive special effects.
To be honest, most people in the country are more willing to spend money on 3D movies with big scenes than ordinary 2D movies.
Most of them think that it’s okay to watch 2D movies when they become available online later, but if it’s a 3D movie and the reputation is particularly good, they will be willing to go to the cinema to watch it.
However, Yan Jingze has an advantage to make such a movie.
He has lived in so many worlds and knows how to do those special effects well!
He didn’t expect Su Moxiu to invest so much money before, so what he thought was to sell his house, collect 20 million yuan, find a group of cheap actors, make a sci-fi film and add special effects himself, relying on special effects to win!
Well, according to the technology he has mastered, even if the movie he made is not very good, special effects can save him.
“Director Gu, you’ve never made a sci-fi film before…” Liu Leyan was worried.
Yan Jingze was very optimistic: “I will shoot it in the future!”
Liu Leyan: “…” Did she really want to leave the company and follow Director Gu? Director Gu seems very unreliable…
“I believe in you!” Su Moxiu said to Yan Jingze seriously at this moment.
You must trust your friends and encourage them more. Su Moxiu feels that he has done a good job.
He decided to pursue Gu Shihao for a while, then when the time was right, he would confess his love.
Thinking of this, Su Moxiu was a little depressed again.
He knows that he has a problem, he often can’t understand other’s meanings.
Would Gu Shihao like him like this?
“AXiu, you still know me best!” Yan Jingze said.
Su Moxiu was immediately happy.
Liu Leyan: “…” Did she think too much and didn’t have much confidence in Director Gu? Director Gu is so confident, he must have a good script, and he may have already contacted the best special effects company abroad!
Liu Leyan was thinking about this when she heard Yan Jingze say: “That’s it! I’m going to write the script tonight.”
“The script hasn’t been written yet?” Liu Leyan was dumbfounded.
“Not yet, but soon!” Yan Jingze said.
Liu Leyan: “…” When she goes back, she must persuade Su Moxiu again. One hundred million yuan is really too much to invest in a movie, at least some of it should be put in the bank to earn interest!
Yan Jingze now actually only has a vague idea about the script.
He intends to write about a group of nobody who struggle to survive after earth is shrouded in disaster and apocalypse comes.
The protagonist is a soldier who takes people away from the safe base to save them, and encounters many things during the process…
The script cannot be written in a short period of time, so Yan Jingze first sets up the characters for the people who want to participate in his own movie, and then observe before arranging their scenes in the movie.
In order to avoid mistakes, try to let them play their real self.
As for Su Moxiu, let him play the cold-faced protagonist.
After Yan Jingze put Su Moxiu as the protagonist, inspiration flooded in, and within a short while, he wrote several pages of the script.
Not only that, he also signed a contract with Su Moxiu, asking Su Moxiu to invest 20 million in his movie, then spend 70 million to buy a special effects studio.
In addition, renting a shooting location, looking for suitable staff…Yan Jingze didn’t fall behind on that.
He was very very busy, so busy that he didn’t even touch the ground, and so he also had no time to flirt with Su Moxiu.
Ten days later, because of Yan Jingze’s rants against netizens on the Internet, Director Gu’s new movie, which has attracted much attention, was quietly launched in an indoor studio.
Actors, crew members, etc., are all barely there. The only problem is that those staff members are not the ones the original owner had before, but Yan Jingze cobbled together impromptu, so the big guy is not familiar with the job at hand..
But even so, they can start shooting.
Yan Jingze did a casual opening ceremony, and then asked Su Moxiu to act in the first scene.
The protagonist character design is designed according to Su Moxiu’s image. He’s a soldier who has been transformed, has no emotions, and has difficulty understanding the meaning of other people’s words.
He believed that Su Moxiu could act well!
Yan Jingze was full of confidence in Su Moxiu, but soon…he found out that he was wrong.
Su Moxiu…couldn’t act at all.
Su Moxiu is such a person, but if he is really asked to act…His eyes and movement are all wrong, his movements are a bit stiff, and his reaction is very slow.
He really has no acting skills!
