Ning Xiu is indeed not short of money.
Gu Yi II was a man. Until now, his combined wealth in two lifetimes was not as much as Ning Xiu's house.
So Ning Xiu was particularly confident when she said this, because since she started her business so long ago, Gu Yi was the only one who stood up from under him. In addition, Gu Yi suddenly seemed to be a different person later. Not only People have become more positive, and even dealing with others has become much smoother.
Now Ning Xiuzhen regards Gu Yi as her son. She is already 44 years old, and she has no plans to get married in the future, because Ning Xiu thinks it is good to be alone.
In addition, she is not the only one in the family, there are two brothers alone, so the task of carrying on the family line naturally does not fall on her.
So even if Gu Yi was banned by this director, Ning Xiu would not panic at all. The entertainment industry relies on capital and background. If everyone really fell out, it would be impossible for just one director to ban Gu Yi. arrive.
Although Starlight is indeed much shabby compared to those big film and television companies now, as long as money is thrown at it, how can there be any absolute enemies?
Besides, Gu Yi's ability is now obvious to all, and he has been in the entertainment industry for two or three years and has a lot of contacts. First, he was Huang Dong from the academy, and now he is an actor at the National Theater, not to mention He is the deputy dean of the School of Acting, and he is even more of a heavyweight.
There are also new-generation directors like Liao Facun and Ding Liang. Although they are in different fields, they have collaborated with them so many times. As long as their film and television works and variety shows can be watched by more people, there is no reason why they should not use them.
"Okay, okay, let me ask you one last time, are you sure you don't want to film this scene?"
"We can't take pictures. We don't understand your so-called art. If we have to go through legal procedures and issue subpoenas, then we will continue."
After hanging up the phone, Ning Xiu raised her head. Song Fuxing and Gu Yi already showed admiration. Sure enough, the boss had the confidence to speak.
"Xiao Yi, Fuxing, then let's follow what we discussed before. Wang Da is not Liao Facun. This person is more difficult to deal with than Liao Facun. But you don't have to worry. I will take care of the rest. He can't block him. your."
Hearing this, Gu Yi nodded: "Sister Ning, actually I have always been a little curious, sister Ning, what do you do at home?"
Because Gu Yi knew that it would be difficult to open a company without some financial resources, let alone buy houses all over the country and live in his own home wherever he went.
Not to mention too many, the total number of these houses alone must be one or two billion?
From the past until now, Ning Xiu has said every day that the company can't continue to work, but she has never seen that the company really can't continue to work. On the contrary, it has hired a lot of people in the past six months or so.
Starlight is completely controlled by Ning Xiu alone, and there are no other shareholders.
"There's no such thing as a family. The wealth I have today is all due to my own hard work. My family is actually an ordinary family."
Ning Xiu said with a smile.
But Gu Yi didn't believe a word of it.
But since Ning Xiu didn't want to say anything, Gu Yi didn't ask anymore.
Next, Gu Yi will stay in Hangzhou for two days and then return to Yanjing after two days, because he has to settle this matter in advance.
Gu Yi started a live broadcast in the evening.
After the broadcast started, the audience congratulated Gu Yi for successfully securing a master's degree in Beijing Film Academy. Some people gave Gu Yi a bad idea and told him to give up the place and then go to the Central Theater to take the postgraduate entrance examination. It was a big deal.
"You guys want me to die. I've made an agreement with my mentor before. They are very nice to me. If I give them up just to make a living, wouldn't that mean I'm a wolf-hearted person?"
But soon someone discovered that Gu Yi's background had changed, because some time ago Gu Yi's background was in a hotel, and now it was in the dormitory where Gu Yi used to live broadcast.
"Gu Yi, why did you run back to your dormitory? Aren't you filming? Did you get involved in the filming?"
To film a film is to rush to film another film in the middle of filming. Some busy artists often do this, carrying two or three roles at the same time, but only famous people dare to do this. After all, if you leave here to shoot other people's scenes, it means that the progress of the scenes here will be delayed.
For example, if Li Xi acted under some less well-known directors, although those directors would curse behind their backs, they would never dare to say anything in person. Even if they did, they could only communicate in a consultative tone.
"What kind of scene am I doing? I'm not that kind of person, but I won't shoot that scene anymore, so I just came back and stayed in Hangzhou for two days, and then I went back to Yanjing.
"Ah, why don't you shoot? Isn't Wang Da very good? Did he fire you, so you said this specifically in order not to embarrass yourself in front of us? It doesn't matter, we are all your fans, even if you are dismissed by the crew We’ll still love you even if you return it.”
Gu Yi smiled: "I'm not the kind of person who wants to save face. When have you ever seen me show off? I really don't plan to film this time because the scene really can't be filmed."
At this moment, many people entered the live broadcast room.
"Gu Yi, why are you acting like a big name? Wang Da just posted on Weibo, saying that you were acting like a big name and asked to modify the script. Then the crew was unwilling to modify it, so you ran away."
"That's right, that's right, Erdan, although you have gained a bit of fame now, you can't let it slide. You are the most difficult person I've ever met, so you have to stay tight."
"Ah, what's going on? Why do you need to change the script?"
Gu Yi looked at these barrages and thought that it was finally here. This was the reason why he started the live broadcast at this time.
You must not be too passive when doing this kind of thing, so Gu Yi started a live broadcast to talk about it.
"Friends, I know what you are worried about, but you don't have to worry at all. I don't think I am wrong about this, it's just that I can't accept the script.
So everyone, don’t worry, I always do things with discretion, and I will definitely not collapse the house. However, if I offend Wang Da, he will definitely kill me. Then I may not be able to show my face outside for a period of time. "
At the same time, Song Fuxing, who was standing outside the room, saw that Gu Yi had finished talking, so he knocked on the door: "Gu Yi, stop broadcasting now and come with me for a meeting."
"Okay, Brother Song."
After Gu Yi finished speaking, he looked at the camera again: "Everyone, go to bed early today. I have to go to a meeting. The live broadcast will end here first. If anything happens later, I will tell you as soon as possible."
After saying that, Gu Yi turned off the live broadcast.
But Gu Yi didn't leave because there was no meeting at all.
Song Fuxing entered the room, and then Gu Yi took a look at Wang Dafa's Weibo.
"An actor can't even do his job well, and he doesn't respect the staff despite being paid a high salary. It's better for such a person to get out as soon as possible."
Immediately afterwards, Wang Da issued another official statement with an official seal.
The main content of the content is that because Gu Yi disrespected the main creator, acted like a big name in the crew, and ran away during the filming without saying a word, the crew of "Under the Dark Clouds" decided to stop cooperating with Gu Yi.
However, in view of the losses caused by Gu Yi's bad behavior to the crew, they will also seek compensation through legal channels.
Seeing this statement, Gu Yi smiled instead.
Now he feels that going to court is not a terrible thing. It seems that he has been going to court for more than three years.
It just so happens that Lawyer Tang has almost completed his case against netizens. The evidence in this kind of civil case is conclusive, and Lawyer Tang’s execution ability is very strong. Even if the defendants are accused, none of them will pay for it. lawyer.
It's just that the case found legal aid after the merger.
So this case is impossible to lose.
Besides, the legal staff in the company are not just doing it for free, and they will naturally have solutions when the time comes.
Now Gu Yi still has conclusive evidence in his hand, but he doesn't plan to release it so early.
Gu Yi had gotten the script in his hands at the beginning of the crew. Even when he left later, Gu Yi didn't put the script down and kept bringing it out.
It has the director's writing and drawings on it.
So at this stage, Gu Yi would definitely not release this thing.
What if Wang Da changed the script overnight?
But in the face of the other party's accusations, Gu Yi definitely had to respond.
Then Song Fuxing released a phone recording of a threatened phone call between director Wang Da and the producer.
"You are Gu Yi's agent, so tell Gu Yi, and at the same time, listen to this. If Gu Yi doesn't come back to finish filming, then he should stop hanging out in the industry in the future."
"I can get him out of this circle forever with just one word."
"Gu Yi's current fame means nothing to me. As long as I want, even cats and dogs, I can praise him to be like Gu Yi."
Facing these, Song Fuxing only said one sentence.
"Anytime."
The recording played now is just one of the phone calls, and the rest will be played slowly.
So the purpose now is just to make a start. After all, people's opinions are very subjective. Wang Da is like a gangster on the phone, which will naturally cause dissatisfaction among many people.
"Is this really a well-known director in our country? When I see him being interviewed, he always smiles and looks very serious.
But on the phone, he sounded like a gangster, and he always felt like he was not a good person. "
"Because Gu Yi suddenly ran away and caused such a huge financial loss to the crew, you can't just curse, right? What's the matter, do you really think Gu Yi is a person?"
"He deserves it. He hasn't been popular for a long time, and he's about to drift away. If he stays popular for a few more years, wouldn't it mean that he will go to heaven?"
"I am indeed a fan of Gu Yi, but it's hard to say who is right and who is wrong in this matter, because we don't know what happened behind it, so it's best to wait and see."
In the end, many people still felt that Gu Yi should not do what he did.
Wang Da once again posted on Weibo, announcing that Li Xi would be the protagonist of his movie and that the two parties had reached a cooperation.
Gu Yi looked at Wang Da's statement and sighed in his heart that the two of them had joined forces to let the rotten meat rot in the same pot.
But he really didn't expect that Li Xi would dare to make this film.
Among those who originally scolded him were Li Xi's fans, because the reason why Li Xi is now in a lawsuit with Liao Facun is also because of the strike at that time. Although both parties later talked with intermediaries, no one was willing to give in, so naturally So he went to court.
Now in their opinion, this incident is actually similar to Li Xi's incident, and is of the same nature.
So now they became proud.
"Yo yo yo, Gu Yi has started to act like a big name after not seeing each other for a few days? He is still very arrogant. Now he is just a first-line artist and dares to act like a big name. This is much better than our Li Xi."
Those fans were all speechless, because now this matter needs to be presented with facts and reason.
In addition, Gu Yi had personally admitted that he left midway, so now they couldn't explain it even if they wanted to.
It's just that adults are like this. If they can make it through, they will take advantage of the victory. If they can't, they will shrink back and not respond.
It's just that many people still believe in Gu Yi.
Because Gu Yi has never been a big name since his debut. He should be as polite as possible when meeting his elders and colleagues.
But just when Gu Yi was about to take the next step, he suddenly answered the phone.
"Hey, Fourth Brother, I've heard all about your online affairs. Are you in Yanjing now?"
The call was from Yu Feng.
"No Brother Feng, I'm in Hangzhou now."
"Hangzhou? Why are you in Hangzhou? Yes, your company is over there. I almost forgot. So are you in your company now?"
"Yeah, what's wrong with Brother Feng?"
"It's okay, I just finished the script here and I want you and your agent to take a look at it. But if you are in Hangzhou, I'll just go over there and let your boss take a look when it's done. If it feels okay If you have any questions, I would also like to invite you to shoot my movie."
Gu Yi laughed when he heard this: "Brother Feng, haven't you seen those things on the Internet? You dare to ask me to make a movie? People are going to ban me."
"Fuck him, who the hell is he and why he's blocking you? I've known you for so long and I know you're not that kind of person. There must be a reason for you to do this. In short, as long as the country doesn't let you If he comes out to take a role, then I can find him if I need to. I don’t care who he is, what does it have to do with me whether Wang Da is famous in the industry?"
Gu Yi was very moved after hearing this.
"Okay, then Brother Feng, please come over. Then we will look at the script together."
In fact, Gu Yi had already thought about it when Yu Feng said it. It didn't matter if the script written by Yu Feng was not satisfactory. The worst he could do was ask Liao Facun for help to see if he could make revisions.
Although this is Yu Feng’s graduation project, it’s not a big deal to ask someone to help revise it. Nowadays, elementary school students can write papers that can be published in SCI. It is normal for college students to ask acquaintances to revise the script, and Yu Feng There are also second-generation tutors in his class, and Gu Yi doesn't believe that they won't ask his father for help.
Besides, it's just a matter of changing the script. Even if Gu Yi doesn't ask Liao Facun, the teacher will put forward some suggestions for modification when he sees that the script is not working.
Anyway, no matter what, I have to let Yu Feng's first movie in his life be successfully completed and then be released in theaters.
Even if you can't make money, you must at least ensure that you don't lose money.
Otherwise, after losing money this time, it is hard to say whether Yu Feng can continue to develop in the directing industry in the future.
Later, Gu Yi talked about this matter with Song Fuxing and Ning Xiu, and also gave an extra reminder that if the script is well written, then praise it more, and if the script is not satisfactory, speak a little more tactfully.
The two naturally said it was no problem.
It's just that Yu Feng completed the script with this result in mind. Gu Yi thought about it and slightly modified his plan to deal with Wang Da.
The next day Yu Feng came to Starlight with the script.
Gu Yi first took Yu Feng around the company, and then showed Yu Feng his dormitory.
"Your dormitory is not big, but it's nice that your boss can always keep this room for you. What are you going to do next?"
"Brother Feng, I will definitely not sit still and wait for death. I am right about this, but the time is not mature enough now."
Then Gu Yi explained the whole thing in general, and Yu Feng patted his thigh after hearing this: "Hey, this old dog, I found out that this guy's butt is crooked when I was playing with him before, and now he has a crooked butt. If you want to do something like this, okay, don’t say anything. If you need my help at that time, I will not hesitate to do it, and I will scold him hard for you."
"Hahaha, Brother Feng, I knew you would say that, but there's no hurry. Let's read the script first."
Then they came to the conference room, and Yu Feng gave the other three scripts that had been printed long ago to Gu Yi, Song Fuxing and Ning Xiu respectively.
After the three of them got the script, they read it carefully.
It's just that after reading the script, Gu Yi unexpectedly discovered that the script was indeed written so that it could be seen that Yu Feng had put a lot of thought into this script.
Including Song Fuxing and Ning Xiu also nodded while watching.
After seeing everyone watching, Yu Feng also started talking again: "The main tone of this movie is black humor, that is, a comedy, because it costs money to make a movie, but I don't have much money myself. Even if I can get it from home, The maximum salary is several million, so the cost of comedy films is relatively small.
The trigger for the whole story is that a brother and sister who lived in poverty discovered a priceless jadeite from the inheritance left by their parents.
Then there are two forces that want to snatch this jade. One is the rich uncle from his parents, and the other is the rich boss who owns another jade that is exactly the same.
There are two pieces of the same jadeite. If separated, each piece is worth 10 million US dollars, but if put together, the total value is 40 million US dollars.
The story from the early stage to the middle and late stages all revolves around this jade. Although the goals of the three lines are the same, each has its own development route, until finally these three lines are merged together. "
My estimated shooting period is three months. As for the sponsor, it is my dad. If the money is not enough by then, I will talk about it and see if I can get some from other places.
It’s just that I don’t have much money now, so when the time comes, the remuneration may be “
After saying this, Yu Feng also became nervous.
After all, his story is based on Gu Yi and Yu Xue.
As long as she can win over Gu Yi, Yu Xue will most likely come over and star together.
Then the rest of the actors are easy to talk about.
Gu Yi looked at the script and felt that the overall structure seemed familiar.
After listening to Yu Feng's words, Gu Yi, Ning Xiu and Song Fuxing exchanged glances.
Because Song Fuxing already had Gu Yi's instructions, he put down the script and smiled: "Director Yu, to be honest, after reading this script, I feel that the script itself is very good, but I feel that some parts of it can be modified. To become even better, of course, I am just Gu Yi's agent, and I am not a professional director or screenwriter. I am just speaking from the perspective of an audience.
Secondly, I also know about your relationship. After all, Gu Yi’s studio is in Yanjing. I have often heard him talk about you. It doesn’t matter about the remuneration. I can give you as much as you can, as long as you feel like it. After all, it's not easy to have a true friend. "
After that, it was Ning Xiu's turn, because even if it was a cooperation, there were still many things that needed to be explained clearly in advance, but this was more appropriate for Ning Xiu, the boss.
Because in a way, Ning Xiu is the decision-maker.
"Director Yu, my idea is similar to Fuxing's, that is, this movie can be made. If you don't have enough funds, I can fill the gap for you, but before agreeing, I still want to ask you something. .
"Mr. Ning, there's no need for Director Yu. Just call me Xiao Yu. Is there anything you can tell me first?"
"I won't ask more about the construction of the crew. Since you plan to make a movie yourself, you must have ideas in this regard. As Fuxing said just now, I think there is still a lot of room for optimization in this movie, so I want to ask I would like to ask you if the movie script needs to be optimized at that time, will you be able to accept it?"
Yu Feng thought for a while: "Brother Song, Mr. Ning, I designed this script from beginning to end, but I also know that I still have a lot to learn and improve as a director. If I need to revise it by then, , it does make sense, so I will definitely not refuse.”
Yu Feng also didn't finish his words, but the people present were all smart people, and they also heard the meaning of Yu Feng's words, that is, if the modification suggestions are reasonable, then he will not stubbornly say it, but if the modification suggestions If you can't convince him, then he will stick to his own ideas.
In fact, this is normal.
At the end, it was Gu Yi's turn to speak.
"Brother Feng, I accepted this movie, but who else are you planning to cast for other roles?"
"For the role of younger sister, I want to cast Yu Xue. For other roles, I want to cast a teacher from our school. Then for other young people's roles, I'll see if I can contact some unknown actors. After all, their acting skills It’s guaranteed and it’s cheap, but it’s okay if you have the right people on your side.”
"Okay, I'll go ask Xiaoxue for help, and then I'll ask the teachers in the acting department as well. In addition, Brother Feng, how much do you expect to invest here? That includes the cost of making the movie and post-production publicity and distribution."
"My budget here is 3 million, I have 500,000 on hand, and I plan to ask my dad for the remaining 2.5 million."
"Are you sure about this money?"
"Here. Let me make another call."
"Okay, Brother Feng, please confirm this in advance."
Then Yu Feng went out to make phone calls, which lasted for more than ten minutes, but when he came back, Yu Feng's face was not very good.
"Well, I called my dad just now. He said he could only offer 1.5 million, and I'll figure out the rest myself." Yu Feng was a little embarrassed when he said this. After all, he had promised to do so before. I got 3.5 million from my family, but now it’s less than half. “My dad’s reason is that since I want to be a director, I definitely can’t rely on my family for everything. The rest of the money is for me to figure out my own solution.” Train me, but don’t worry, I will definitely be able to borrow this money, and I will go to my friends to borrow some more.”
But Ning Xiu laughed after hearing this, thinking that she was a student after all, but after reading the script, she felt that it was indeed quite interesting. In addition, she looked at Gu Yi's expression just now and felt that Gu Yi really wanted to film this film. .
"Okay, you don't need to find anyone else. I will pay half of the remaining 2 million, and Gu Yi will pay half, but then the box office will be divided."
"Then it must be divided according to proportion!"
Yu Feng was overjoyed when he heard this. He didn't expect that things would go so smoothly. Not to mention that the script was passed very smoothly. Gu Yi had just agreed to play the leading role, and Gu Yi also said Can you help me contact the teachers at the acting academy and Yu Xue?
Now Ning Xiu said that they will pay for the remaining 2 million, which means that the filming of his movie can start.
As for the box office split, he never thought about how much he would deduct. Now he just wants to fulfill his dream and make this movie. Even if he doesn't make a penny by then, Ning Xiu, Gu Yi and his father will all make money. OK.
"Okay, let's settle this matter first."
Song Fuxing and Gu Yi then left the conference room, leaving Yu Feng and Ning Xiu to continue discussing the remuneration and bill sharing inside.
But outside, Song Fuxing was also talking to Gu Yi about this matter.
"Gu Yi, although this is a movie made by your friend, I think the salary can still be a little higher. Now the price of a movie you make is about 5 million to 8 million, but Yu Feng is your buddy after all, so I have two suggestions here, either to directly collect the whole sum of 1 million, or to get a symbolic amount of 18,000.
1 million is more beneficial to your net worth, but the latter option can also earn you some fame. "
"Brother Song, Brother Feng really doesn't have much money right now. I think it's better to take the second option, and it won't cost more than 10,000 yuan. When the time comes, I think I'll just ask for a symbolic dollar."
"That's okay, but don't blame us and Yu Feng for what we just said. Because after all, it's a cooperation, so the money thing must be made clear. Otherwise, when the movie really makes money, you will have to worry about money again. It won’t be worth it if we don’t interact with each other forever after the incident breaks out.”
After chatting for a while, Song Fuxing and Gu Yi entered the conference room again and talked about the one dollar remuneration.
After hearing this, Yu Feng was still moved because he knew how much Gu Yi was worth now.
