At first glance, this name is quite unfamiliar.
But I vaguely felt like I had heard this name somewhere before.
He continued to read the content.
"Wu Qianli is a soldier, a very pure soldier. He is rough and literate, but not much. He has a stubborn temper..."
Seeing this description, Xu Xin nodded slightly.
He liked this style of writing very much.
There is no need for too many gorgeous words, just hit the topic directly, and the image of a character can be erected in just ten or twenty words.
I glanced at the document subconsciously.
6231 words.
I said to myself, "Hey guys, there's not even one chapter on the Internet that has a lot of words."
At this time, his cell phone dinged.
He picked it up and saw that someone had added him.
[Lan Xiaolong]: Hello, Director Xu, I am Lan Xiaolong.
Xu Xin passed directly, took the initiative to send an emoji to say hello, and said:
"Teacher Lan, I am reading your story. We will communicate in a moment."
No matter what Lan Xiaolong's qualifications are, the introducer is Duan Yihong, and this alone has to give him face.
"OK."
The other party responded very quickly.
Then, the two stopped communicating.
Xu Xin lit a cigarette and began to read the story quietly.
He actually read very quickly, and it only took him about ten minutes to read the whole story for the first time.
but……
A war story from the period of resisting U.S. aggression and aiding Korea?
He Googled "Changjin Lake" directly, and then Baidued it again.
When I saw the sentence [Forcing the US Army's ace troops to undergo the "longest retreat in history"], my eyes moved.
I read the general summary about this battle through the encyclopedia, and then combined this story in my mind.
Then he nodded secretly.
This story is pretty good.
This is his evaluation.
But how interested is he?
Not really.
First of all, this story is the main theme, and since it is the main theme, there is a set of unwritten unspoken rules in the film and television industry.
For example, the image must be positive, it must reflect the strength of our army, etc.
Nowadays, many anti-Japanese dramas actually "amplify" this unwritten rule, but the scale is not good, so they come up with such things as "taking a grenade out of the crotch" and "killing someone eight hundred miles away with one shot." Famous scenes such as "killing the Japanese".
He doesn't resist the main theme, which is a credit after all.
but……
He is a director, and when he wants to make a movie, he not only looks at the story, but also the script. He wants to understand the screenwriter's ideas and thinking from it, and then combine it with his own ideas to see if he can create the kind of spark that makes his heart beat.
But now this story is too thin.
It's like a running account. Antecedents, processes, and outcomes.
But it didn't make people feel very moved.
It can only be said that after learning about the "Battle of Changjin Lake"... Just looking at the encyclopedia, he can feel how "cute" the cutest people back then were, and he felt that this was a very good article. A good running account.
The writing is concise and sophisticated.
The story is adequate.
But when it comes to making a movie... he hasn't seen the script yet, so it's hard to say anything yet.
After sitting in front of the computer and thinking for a while, he opened Yang Mi's QQ and wrote on it:
"Teacher Lan, I have finished reading the story and have an overview of "The Battle of Changjin Lake". My evaluation is that the story is very good, but whether it can be made into a movie requires you to construct the script. At present, , if it were shot purely from the perspective of Wu Qianli, not much could be extended, and it would be a very monotonous movie.
If possible, I hope you can highlight several supporting characters when constructing the script, not just the villains of the US military, but also some... "people" who can make ordinary people more emotional.
And, since it is from the perspective of five thousand miles, I hope to go in the direction of "there is fineness in the roughness". Don't deliberately sensationalize. When writing the script, you can refer to "blank space" and only write out the heroism of the positive characters, leaving other blank spaces for the director to express.
The story as a whole is complete and respects historical facts. But here I think you need to pay attention to your intention when you first draft the script. Do you want to describe a big scene or a "corner of war".
I think you need to weigh the respective proportions of these two points in the story structure to prevent the situation of putting the cart before the horse after the script is created and losing "Wu Qianli" and still "Changjin Lake", which would be inappropriate. These are my thoughts for your reference. "
After writing it, I sent it directly to Yang Mi.
Then he switched to QQ on his mobile phone, copied the message he sent to his wife, and sent it to Lan Xiaolong.
This way you don’t need a computer to log in to WeChat, and you have to scan the QR code.
Quite troublesome.
At this time.
"Didi."
My wife’s QQ replied “?”.
Xu Xin didn't even bother to respond.
After sending it to Lan Xiaolong, he put the story in the "Not bad" folder on his desktop.
A conservative estimate is that there are at least thirty or forty such stories.
Most of the time, friends came to ask him to take a look.
He usually wouldn't refuse such a request, but he would rarely say anything like "This story is good, let me shoot it?"
After finishing the story, he continued busy with his own affairs.
Until Lan Xiaolong replied.
"Okay, thank you, Director Xu. This story is still in the initial stage. I think there are still many areas that need to be extended and revised. Moreover, there are still a lot of historical facts that need to be verified and investigated. Then after I complete the first version of the script, I will Would you like to send Director Xu to take a look?"
Seeing this message, Xu Xin replied:
"Ok, no problem."
"I'm sorry, Director Xu."
"You're welcome."
The chat is over here.
Xu Xin put down his mobile phone, looked at the script of "Breaking Silence" in front of him, and suddenly returned to the computer desktop.
Created a new folder: [Main Theme]
Then the story of "Changjin Lake" was moved out and renamed "Changjin Lake-Lan Xiaolong".
I moved the manuscript directly to the [Main Theme] folder.
The main melody is not mandatory, but... there are always some special years that need to be used.
This story is not bad, I can consider it if necessary.
After taking care of all this, he continued his ordinary morning.
In the afternoon, Wang Sicong presented the ring.
Not with Di Wei.
Xu Xin was happy:
"What happened? Did you break up?"
"..."
Not only did he return a silver ring, but to express his gratitude, he also bought a diamond bracelet from Van Cleef & Arpels as a gift to Da Mi. The corners of his mouth twitched.
Then he rolled his eyes:
"Yo? Isn't that the flowerpot you bought for 200,000 yuan?"
"..."
Xu Xin looked at the flowerpot with a pine and cypress plant on the window sill, and felt that the boomerang had finally come back.
He took the ring angrily and put the bracelet box on the window sill.
He had already made up his mind. After a while, his wife came back and said that the bracelet, which hung in the sun without blinding his eyes, was a gift from him.
Then, he took the cigarette from Wang Sicong, and the two of them sat on the pony in the yard and lit it.
"Huh...how's it going?"
After hearing his question, Wang Sicong said with a smile:
"My mother wants to go to the Magic City to celebrate the Lantern Festival tomorrow."
"Bring Seventh Brother with you?"
"Um."
The eldest young master nodded:
"We talked a lot after we went back last night. She insisted on signing a prenuptial agreement with me, and I agreed."
"It's normal. She doesn't want you to have any worries."
"Well, I know... we talked for a long time last night. And... she also said that it's up to me to get married. As long as both families agree, she has no objection. Hehehehe..."
"Then you wait for the second half of the year."
"Why?"
"The Wheel Concert has been held in the first half of the year, and there is nothing to do in the second half of the year. Let him hold another one."
"Hahahahahaha..."
The young master, who was in a good mood, flashed a simple platinum ring to him and smiled happily.
Xu Xin also saw the ring.
In fact, men’s wedding rings have similar styles, and they are mainly suitable for daily wear and comfort.
Then I heard Wang Sicong say:
"I also told her that there is no problem with the prenuptial agreement. But only for Wanda's...the properties I have now, whether it is Tianlai or others...I said I will fill in your name."
"Seventh brother agreed?"
"Refused."
"..."
Xu Xinxin said what you said was not nonsense?
"Who is in charge of your money?"
"She takes care of it."
"Do you usually ask her for flowers?"
"...???"
Xu Xin looked at him with a look of "What kind of idiot are you?"
"I usually don't spend money."
Then he started picking at his fingers:
"She buys my clothes, my cigarettes, my tea, my mobile phone... I'll tell you something and you may not believe it."
"What?"
"My credit cards are all her secondary cards. Because I forgot my credit card twice and it became overdue, she canceled it for me. Now I use her secondary card, and she pays it back every month."
"..."
The corners of Wang Sicong's mouth began to twitch crazily.
Then……
"But I have some private money."
Xu Xin took out his phone and fiddled with it a few times, letting him take a look.
Wang Sicong lowered his head and saw... there were tens of millions...
More than 450,000.
It doesn't matter whether you have more money or less... He is just curious:
"what is this?"
"My salary card!"
I don’t know why, but Xu Xin started to get excited when talking about this:
"Do you know how much money I can save? My current salary at Xiying is 9,200 yuan a month, which was just increased last year... Then, my salary in the past few years has been in this card, and I haven't touched a penny! "
"..."
Say this.
Wang Sicong felt something was wrong.
Because he could hear a sense of showing off.
It's like saying "I have a salary, but you don't, right?"
"Then I still have five insurances and one housing fund, and I still have money in the housing provident fund!"
"..."
"10,000 yuan for medical treatment and 9,000 yuan for reimbursement!"
"..."
"You can't spend it all! You can't spend it all!"
"Okay, what are you showing off to?"
Wang Sicong pushed his phone away angrily, and then asked:
"What about the other money?"
"I do not know."
"……have no idea?"
"Yes. She keeps it all. Every year, the real estate company's dividends, movie dividends, and other miscellaneous money are all in hers."
Naturally, Wang Sicong would not be stupid enough to think that Lao Xu was a strict henwife.
Even though this situation seems to be the same as that of many married people, it is also fundamentally different.
Lao Xu is an exception. Normally, everyone lets the wealth team manage money...
At the very least, he knew that Dami had its own financial management team.
There are levels of management of money.
but……
"Brother Qi doesn't understand this and is not interested."
"Are you two arguing over money?"
"A bit...but the starting point is different. She said to give me all the money, but now I don't want it."
"Why?"
"Because I don't like her three melons and two dates. We are a family, and I am definitely responsible for making money. Why do I need her money?"
"...Tsk."
Hearing this, Xu Xin scratched his head in distress.
Every family has its own sutras that are difficult to recite.
"Oh yes, while I'm preparing for the wedding, can you make a documentary for me?"
"Okay, no problem. I'll take care of all the pre-wedding preparations and wedding scene recording. I'll leave it to my buddy... By the way, where do you plan to choose the venue? The Palace of Versailles?"
"That's not possible. That's the old wolf's private territory. It's not easy to repeat."
"What about in the country?"
"It's not good...my home is not as lively as your rural home. I still remember the bowl of haggis I drank in the morning...tsk...it tasted so good. I was there with Xu Yang two days ago Chat, I said when you get married, go find the same chef who made the haggis, it’s really delicious.”
"Then what do you want to do?"
"have no idea."
"Let's talk to Lao Lang about this matter. If you don't want to do it at home, then go abroad. Indeed... it's too troublesome to do it at home with all kinds of reporters and guests."
"Hmm... Do you want to have a test tube?"
"What? You can't do it?"
"You can't do that!"
"..."
Xu Xin's mouth twitched.
If he said this before, he must be anxious with this bastard.
I'm young, who can't do it?
But these two days...
He's a bit timid.
What do you mean... I obviously cried so much that I swore that I would never touch her again in my life.
But now every day is like a high-power vacuum cleaner.
Really outrageous.
Wang Sicong didn't pay attention to his friend's expression at this moment, and just said to himself:
"Actually, I also want Brother Qi to suffer less. Look at you, your children will have both in one fell swoop..."
"Do you know how low the chance of a normal birth of twins is? She has a good physique and a high level of luck. Not so, Brother Qi... Moreover, the test tube is very harmful to the body. How many pills can be taken out at one time? It’s hurting.”
"Okay...then let nature take its course."
After hearing what his friend said, he no longer forced himself.
At this moment, Xu Xin's phone rang.
Say Cao Cao, and Cao Cao will arrive.
"Hello."
"What are you doing?"
"Old Wang comes back to return the ring..."
"I also bought a bracelet..."
Before Wang Sicong finished speaking, Xu Xin covered the microphone.
The corners of the eldest young master's mouth suddenly twitched crazily.
no……
You can't be such a dog, can you?
Seemingly understanding something, he quickly took out his cell phone to inform Yang Mi.
King, you have to believe me, I bought that bracelet to express my gratitude to you! It wasn’t given by Xu Ergou with thick eyebrows and big eyes!
As a result, as soon as the phone was taken out, Xu Xin, who had quick eyes and quick hands, took it away again.
"you!!"
"Shh..."
Xu Xin put up a cell phone to signal him to shut up.
otherwise……
"Brother Qi and I are going to talk about your ex-girlfriend!"
"..."
Are you still considered a person with the surname Xu?
In the eyes of the eldest young master who looked so sad and angry that he asked, "Should I take the bracelet back?" Xu Xin asked:
"What's wrong? Is there something wrong? The company hasn't gone on holiday yet?"
"Come on, everyone is going to get off work now, go back and have a good holiday... I have something to ask you, and Lao Wang happens to be here. You put the speakerphone on, and you two listen."
"He's listening."
Ah, yes, yes.
I'm listening.
You just can't open your mouth, right?
After Yang Mi heard this, she said directly:
"Ren Zhongjun just contacted me. He said that on March 5th, LeTV Film and Television's first round of financing will begin."
"oh?"
Seeing that he was talking about business, even Wang Sicong became serious.
Xu Xin asked:
"Then what?"
"The first round, a total of 2 percent."
"Total?"
Wang Sicong asked in confusion.
"No, it's for us, me, Huang Xiaoming, Sun Honglei, Yao Chen, Li Chen... just a few people. Each person can give up to 0.3%, but I can give 0.5%."
Upon hearing this, Wang Sicong took the phone directly:
"Hey, Dami."
"ah?"
"I bought you a Van Cleef & Arpels!"
"Bang!"
Wang Sicong, grinning in pain, received a solid punch on his shoulder.
Okay, grandson, let’s play like this, right?
OK OK.
"Lao Xu didn't let me give it to you because he had to buy it."
"Well……"
In Xu Xin's eyes that said "Grandson, are you having fun like this? Have a good time", the eldest young master, who was in the same state of mind, smiled proudly.
As for Yang Mi...
"Did he hit you?"
"Yes! It hurts!"
"Then let him kiss you."
"Go to hell!"
"Hahahahaha..."
He pushed the big dog's head away, and after joking, he asked:
"Has this 2% been priced at you? How much does he plan to raise this time? Do you have the recruitment list?"
"No, no one will give me the list...but the price has already been set. 0.1% for 1 million. The money is really not much."
Wang Sicong's eyes moved and he said:
“Can I ask who their lead investor is?”
"Ren Zhongjun said that the investment company that invested in LeTV led the investment, but he didn't know who it was."
"Well……"
When he heard this, his eyes moved, he thought about it, and said:
"Then you can invest five million. Or... try again, see if you have any available resources, and conduct a round of exchange. Get as much as you can. One percent, one percent Second, if LeTV is stupid enough to give you 5%, it can even invest 50 million!"
"……ah?"
It can be heard that Yang Mi is really confused.
"you sure?"
"Well, I'm sure...wait, I remember...forget it, you come back now, and I'll talk to you slowly when I get home. I'll call Xu Zhi first to ask something."
"Okay, I'll go back right now."
"Well, hung up."
After hanging up the phone, he gave the phone to Xu Xin directly. After taking away his own phone, he sneered while operating:
"Old Xu."
"Um?"
"Do you believe me or not?"
"For example?"
"Sooner or later, LeTV will turn into a Ponzi scheme."
"Well……"
Xu Xin blinked:
"Tell me more, what is a Ponzi scheme?"
The eldest young master's mouth twitched.
She turned around and glared at him:
"A worthless thing!"
"My adoptive father taught me that my children must work hard in the future!"
People.
When it's time to be timid, be timid.
There is no shame in giving way to dogs.
Wang Sicong dialed the phone directly:
"Hey, Xu Zhi, when we were having dinner at the end of last year, you said that you were particularly looking forward to the movie that Nifeng shot... What was it called? "Sadness Against the River"? Guo Jingming's one."
"No, what about "Tiny Times"?"
"Have you finished filming?"
"It's finished. We finished filming it years ago."
"How do you do distribution and stuff?"
"I haven't said it yet, the movie hasn't been cut yet."
"Emm...how is the quality?"
"I watched it. It's just an ordinary commercial movie, but... Yang Ying is so beautiful."
"..."
In Xu Xin's speechless eyes, Wang Sicong said:
"Then don't touch the movie, whether it's for distribution or anything else... just hold on tight. I'll go back to the Demon City tomorrow to celebrate the Lantern Festival, and we'll meet the day after tomorrow."
"Oh, okay, see you the day after tomorrow."
"Um."
Nothing happened to Xu Xin. After hanging up the phone, Wang Sicong said:
"You handled the project of "Tiny Times", right? Do you have any idea about it?"
"I just read the script, and it's pretty good. But I don't know what it will look like. Just tell me what you want to do."
"Enter a Ponzi scheme, and then come out after your investment has doubled twenty or thirty times."
"..."
Xu Xin's mouth twitched.
"Brother, please explain to me what a Ponzi scheme is."
"Go back and go to Baidu yourself. What I mean is very simple. LeTV now needs to find someone to support it. You know this, right?"
"Well, aren't she, Sun Honglei, and Yao Chen all the same?"
"Yes, and then...how should I explain it to you...Let me give you an example. Let's take it as an example. You started a company and I invested in it. Then, your company will soon expand a business and establish I will continue to invest in a branch. But your business has not yet started. After you get the money I invested in you, you can use it in your current company. Do you understand this? "
"I understand, let's move on. The money you invest in the branch, I can get it back to the head office."
"Yes, but... from the outside world, if I invest 10 million in your branch and only occupy 20% of your shares, then your company may not have been established yet, and its market value is already 5,000. That’s all.”
"Well……"
"In other words, you just have a project, but before it is implemented, the assets have been expanded five times through human control."
"..."
"Of course, all this must be based on the fact that your parent company has a certain degree of influence and the market is promising."
After hearing this, Xu Xin thought for a while and said:
"So LeTV is now looking for a celebrity platform, right? Yang Mi and I have understood this before, but... we didn't expect this aspect."
"It's not just that. What if he incubates a pretty good project during the operation? Its scale will continue to expand."
"Well, I know that."
"Then what if word spreads that the parent company wants to acquire this branch?"
"Um?"
Xu Xin was stunned.
Then……
"Um????"
Looking at his expression that suddenly thought of something, Wang Sicong nodded slightly:
"Yes, this is what I call a Ponzi scheme. Or the concept is the same. Jia Leting is a master at playing with public opinion. You can see it by looking at LeTV's every step over the years. He first releases good news to attract capital. Enter the market and implement it after you get the money. So I guess LeTV Pictures... Regardless of whether his ambition is to completely enter the film and television industry, but from the perspective of corporate development, I guess it will continue on this path. First let the public have confidence in the company, raise money to raise money, and then develop it. Then if the company develops well, raise money again, and then raise money... In this way, the market value of the company will be inflated step by step. And when the expansion reaches a certain level... the company's profits will also Well, it doesn’t matter whether it’s development prospects. As a person, once his original shares are sold...it will be a profit return of 10 million that will expand into 500 million or 1 billion."
"Until...a sudden thunderstorm collapsed?"
"Yo?"
Wang Sicong raised his eyebrows:
"I got it?"
"nonsense."
Xu Xin rolled his eyes at him angrily:
"Although this is the first time I heard you talk about this profit model, when we met last year, Yang Mi and I felt that his company was not very reliable. So we made a three-year plan to cooperate for three years and work hard to attract blood. , and was finally abandoned ruthlessly. And now..."
Having said this, he half-closed his eyes and continued to take out the cigarette from his pocket.
After passing one over, he said with some emotion:
"It's just that it becomes clearer how he plays the rules of the game."
Wang Sicong took the cigarette, lit it, and saw Xu Xin reaching out.
After passing the lighter casually, he saw Xu Xin lighting a cigarette and put his lighter in his pocket.
"But I have a doubt."
"you say."
"What can you think of that others can't think of?"
"Yes. This method is very common in the financial circle."
While talking, he took out his lighter from Xu Xin's pocket.
In Xu Xin's speechless eyes, he raised his hand to declare his ownership of the lighter, and then continued:
"Those investment companies' think tanks have dozens of people in small ones and hundreds of people in large ones. It's not just a free meal to support so many people. Jia Leting's tricks are normal in the circle. People have seen through them long ago."
"...Then they are still optimistic about LeTV?"
"why not?"
Wang Sicong asked rhetorically.
The sunshine is clearly warm at this moment, and the weather in Yanjing in early spring is so good that it is absolutely unnecessary.
It can be called cloudless.
Under the sun, there is warmth.
Best for taking a nap.
However, the words that came out of his mouth were so chilling.
Cold from head to toes.
"[We] just need to race against time and not become the unlucky receiver in the end. That's enough. Isn't it? There is no distinction between big and small fish in this circle. As long as it is meat, they will come to eat it. Everyone is sure I won’t be the unlucky one, everyone firmly believes that I must be the smart one.”
"..."
In Xu Xin's silence...
"So, we just need to push it to roll towards the cliff. The bigger the roll, the better. The bigger the roll, the more people it will attract. Before reaching the cliff, those big hands will naturally leave. Then... look at those unlucky ones. The egg rolled down together with this clay-covered snowball."
In the small courtyard.
Count nine and midwinter.
The cold wind was biting.
…
Before 4 o'clock in the afternoon, Yang Mi returned home.
The first sentence I saw Wang Sicong was not about LeTV, but:
"What do you want to eat tonight?"
Wang Sicong chuckled:
"Hey, brother Qi will prepare delicious food at home today and will leave after discussing things with you."
"Okay, I'm watching my dad making dough by hand. Can I take a bag back?"
"That's okay. Then give me more, Brother Qi is still at home."
"...You haven't left your fiancée for a single moment? Why are you so rude to others?"
"Hey Hey……"
Amid laughter, Xu Xin watched as a pair of "dog men and women" working together entered the kitchen.
Not long after, following his wife’s words, “That’s it,” Wang Sicong held up a bag of noodles and raised his hand to Xu Xin:
"gone."
"good."
Not even bothering to give it away...that's not right either.
It should be said that after watching her friends leave, Yang Mi came over.
"He said he would trade his childhood for resources, and I agreed. He communicated with Xu Zhi in the evening... What did he talk to you about in the afternoon?"
"That's what we're talking about."
As he said this, the couple sat on the horse and looked at Yang Dalin who was busy going in and out. They were full of stories about "their parents have shortcomings".
moment.
Yang Mi nodded:
"It's easy to get involved."
Xu Xin answered:
"Well, the hard part is how to stop when things are good."
"Let Lao Wang be the judge. I'll listen to him~"
"Okay~"
"Then should I bring Shishi and Fatty with me?"
"Yes, but don't let them take the stand. Just buy shares in your name."
"Um!"
Yang Mi responded loudly, leaned against the wall, looked up at the sky and sighed:
"The psychedelic Internet..."
Xu Xin was speechless.
Indeed, no matter who you deal with these things, it will challenge your three views.
Faced with this matter, other doubts in his heart were not big, except for a very ridiculous one.
Does finance... really need to exist?
