Chapter 715
Xie Yu: "Dr. Han is being polite. It's just a publicity ploy. Otherwise, the box office wouldn't be so high."
Director Han: "That's right. We understand that if you want to take something first, you must give it first. This is rare among the younger generation."
"By the way, Xiao Xie has some plans to make a blockbuster film. I can sponsor you 50 million!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone who was still rubbing the cards also paused, and then continued.
For those who can sit down and play cards with Director Han, 50 million is a lot of money, but it is no longer a big money.
I just didn't expect that Director Han would pay so much attention to Xie Yu, and he would pay 50 million for it.
Just when Xie Yu was stunned, some fat middle-aged men with some white hair said: "Director Han is so generous, and I, Lao Zhang, am not stingy either. I will give you 20 million."
Another tall, middle-aged man with glasses spit out his cigar and said: "Thirty million!"
The scene fell silent!
Then, the fat, white middle-aged man glanced at the man with glasses with dissatisfaction, then pushed a flirtatious young woman sitting on the card table and said: "Since Brother Ma is here, if you don't get up, you want to die!"
"I'll take care of you when I get back!"
Brother Ma glared at the fat middle-aged man and said, "Old Zhang, who are you in this family? She is so ignorant, how dare you bring her out!"
The man with glasses sneered and said, "It's either the fifth or sixth child. Compared with my seventh child, it's still a little worse."
This charming young woman quickly stood up and said aggrievedly: "Don't be embarrassed, Brother Ma, Brother Wang, it's just that I'm not sensible, you adults have a lot."
Brother Ma snorted and said nothing.
A fat middle-aged man surnamed Zhang said: "Brother Ma, Lao Wang didn't say anything. You are so impatient. Why don't I give you my little love? The condition is that I let Xiao Xie make two movies for me." "
Brother Ma: "Old Zhang, you are tired of playing again and want me to take over!"
"Your sister-in-law is very strict, but I don't dare!"
The fat, middle-aged man named Zhang Bai said: "Old Ma, haha, if my sister-in-law really knows your true face, tsk tsk..."
Director Han was dissatisfied and said: "You two, stop being so weird. I'm just playing cards at the table. There was only one person missing just now. You came just in time."
Brother Ma immediately changed his face and said: "My hands are itching. Director Han, I have been lucky recently. Don't let me do it."
Director Han: "There are no fathers and sons in the card game. I am also an old sparrow. I am still afraid that you will fail. Come..."
After saying that, he overthrew the card game and prepared to start again.
Listening to the shuffling sound of the mahjong machine, Director Han looked at Xie Yu again and said, "I know you, Xiao Xie, have made several low-cost commercial films before. Although the investment was not large, the box office results were not good. .”
"I'm more optimistic about your potential. So, you won't reject me!"
Xie Yu had already made a calculation in his mind. He had heard for a long time that Director Han liked to make blockbusters and big productions, so it was true!
Xie Yu thought for a while and replied: "Thank you, Director Han, for your support in making a blockbuster. If the director doesn't want it, I naturally do too."
"It's just that I also know how much I weigh. I originally studied finance, but then I changed my profession halfway and became a director!"
"It's still too early to get started in the industry. Besides, when it comes to making blockbusters, I think the most important thing is to understand special effects, rather than having to shoot it yourself and entrust it all to a special effects company."
Han Dongrou said thoughtfully: "Xiao Xie, so you are interested in special effects production for movies?"
Xie Yu: "Of course, I'm particularly interested. I think with the development of the times and the rise of home theaters, more and more ordinary audiences will choose to watch D2 movies at home instead of Go into the cinema.”
"Only blockbusters with full special effects, especially science fiction blockbusters, can ordinary people be interested in experiencing them on the big screen in the cinema."
Director Han nodded with satisfaction: "Did you consider these yourself?"
Xie Yu: "I have made movies myself, so I will naturally pay attention to theater chains. I have found that in the past two years, fewer and fewer ordinary 2D screens have been built in cinemas. Although the number of moviegoers remains at a good figure, horizontal comparisons It’s in a state of atrophy.”
As soon as these words came out, several other people looked at Xie Yu strangely. They were all insiders and naturally knew about this situation.
But Xie Yu is just an ordinary director, but he can think so far, which is interesting!
Director Han was even more satisfied, and then said: "Well, Xiao Xie, after the Chinese New Year, we have a one-and-a-half-year film special effects exchange and study plan with Beautiful Country. I also have a few places in my hand. If you agree, I can give You make arrangements."
Xie Yu was stunned for a moment and immediately replied: "Go to Beautiful Country for one and a half years, study plan?"
But after a brief hesitation, Xie Yu immediately agreed. Xie Yu, who had already discovered his limitations when acting, heard that there was such an opportunity, and it was like pie in the sky!
Although it has lasted for a year and a half and I still have to start over, what is the reason for this eagerness to try?
Seeing that Xie Yu agreed to participate in the talent exchange plan he promoted, Director Han nodded with satisfaction. He might be one of his own in the future.
He didn't mention the 50 million thing, and the same goes for everyone else.
Finally, Director Han asked Xie Yu to leave him a contact information. Then he would arrange for someone to handle the procedures for Xie Yu to study abroad.
Xie Yu was asked to find a foreign language teacher for him recently, and if possible, get familiar with some special effects techniques as soon as possible.
Brother Ma has his own special effects department where Xie Yu can study. Xie Yu can just pay for the foreign language teacher himself.
It's just that Brother Ma is a little unhappy. Seeing that a chicken that can lay eggs has been taken into his possession, and it suddenly has to float away for a year and a half. What the hell is this?
On the other hand, Xiao Ai, who had just been "kicked" off the stage, turned her glasses and silently memorized Xie Yu's contact information. She didn't know what she was thinking.
After watching Han Dong, Ma Ge and the others play cards for a few rounds, Xie Yu knew that their level was "half-measured" and was a little speechless.
The card game lasted until early in the morning before it ended!
On the way back, there was silence in the car. Xie Yu and Ma Ge didn't know what to say.
Returning to the villa, the two of them just agreed that Xie Yu could go to the special effects department of Xiaoma Film and Television Company to study at any time, and there was really nothing else.
The next day, around ten o'clock in the morning, Xie Yu was still catching up on his sleep. Suddenly the phone rang, and Xie Yu answered the phone impatiently.
Unexpectedly, there was a female voice with a nice voice on the other end of the phone.
The female voice said:
"Mr. Xie Yuxie, you left your contact information for Director Han yesterday. How about we meet at XX Xinxin Cafe!"
Xie Yu: "It's me, you are Director Han..."
There was a "pop" and the phone on the other end was hung up. Xie Yu was a little confused and wanted to call again to ask!
Then I thought, since it was arranged by Director Han, just go.
Therefore, Xie Yu felt that there was no need to ask so clearly, otherwise it would be bad if Director Han's people had a bad impression of him.
The king of hell is better than the difficult kid. Xie Yu still belongs to Dong De.
In fact, it was in this kind of heart that Xie Yu was taken advantage of.
When Xie Yu arrived at Xinxin Cafe, he saw a charming young woman wearing sunglasses who suddenly stood up and waved straight to Xie Yu.
Xie Yu looked around and pointed at herself. The young woman nodded in confirmation.
Xie Yu walked over doubtfully, ready to see what the young woman wearing sunglasses wanted to do that day!
When I got closer, I saw that she was a standard oriental beauty, with fair skin, an oval face, a little mature but a little playful, and long black slightly curly hair draped over her shoulders.
However, Xie Yu looked familiar. After thinking about it carefully, he said, "You are the person named Xiao Ai yesterday, but you..."
Xie Yu thought that this person named Xiao Ai was definitely not Han Dong. Did she call herself pretending to be Han Dong?
Suddenly thinking of something, Xie Yu asked tentatively: "Are you coming to see me on behalf of Director Zhang? Let me tell you in advance that since I have agreed to cooperate with Brother Ma, I will not change jobs at this time."
"Otherwise, I won't be able to survive in this circle. After all, everyone will be wary of someone who has no credibility. Director Zhang doesn't want me to be such a person!"
At this time, Sunglasses Xiao Ai, who had been silent, said: "No, Lao Zhang, Mr. Xie, I am representing myself this time and want to make a deal with you."
"trade?"
It was so strange. Xie Yu didn't quite understand it for a moment, so he asked tentatively: "What deal?"
Little Ai in sunglasses chuckled and said: "Director Xie, don't be nervous, I can't eat people!"
Xie Yu: "Haha, if you have anything to say, please tell me quickly. I think Director Han would be unhappy if he knew someone asked me out in his name!"
"If it's Director Zhang, he might give him some face, but if it's you..."
Looking at the young woman whose face became heavy, Xie Yu also said softly: "Since you took such a big risk, you must have something important to say, so go ahead and say it!"
Xiao Ai took a breath and said, "Sorry, Director Xie, I was indeed abrupt."
"But there is no other way in front of me, so I can only take the risk."
"As for Director Xie Yu, I am still paying attention, especially in terms of Oscar awards. Others have noticed Director Xie's nomination for Best Foreign Language Film, but not many people seem to care about the other nomination for Best Original Score!"
Xie Yu raised his eyebrows and said, "What do you mean?"
Xiao Ai: "Director Xie, let's get to know each other again. My current occupation is a visiting professor at the Berklee College of Music in the United States."
Xie Yuqi said: "Visiting professor at Berklee College of Music? No way!"
Xiao Ai: "I know Director Xie will be suspicious, but I think with your ability, you should be able to find out."
Xie Yu: "This is natural, but I didn't know you..."
Xiao Ai: "I have watched several other works of Director Xie. I have to say that Director Xie is indeed very talented in scoring, but it seems that you have not been systematically cultivated."
Xie Yu: "What do you mean?"
Xiao Ai: "If Director Xie wants to systematically improve his musical level, Berklee College of Music is the best choice."
Xie Yu had long heard of the famous name of Berklee Music, so naturally he was somewhat interested.
Therefore, Xie Yu said: "Tell me your conditions!"
Xiao Ai's somewhat nervous heart finally relaxed. She knew that she had made the right bet, and immediately said: "I can provide Director Xie with the qualification to be an auditor at the Berklee College of Music. As a deal, I need a sum of money."
Xie Yu asked doubtfully: "A sum of money? Director Zhang?"
Xiao Ai stared at Xie Yu and said, "This is our own business, and there is no need for Director Xie to take care of it."
Xie Yu: "Well, yes, how many do you need?"
Xiao Ai: "Three million, how about it? Three million is not bad for you!"
Xie Yu thought about the more than two million he won yesterday, and was thinking of finding a place to donate it. Taking that kind of money would make you feel guilty.
Giving love to little ones is also a choice.
But Xie Yu still said: "It's just an auditor qualification, three million is too much!"
Xiao Ai sneered: "Director Xie, you don't have any formal music education certificate. If you weren't nominated for an Oscar, you wouldn't be able to apply for the auditor's qualification certificate."
"That's it, I still have to use some privileges."
“Sometimes there are things you can’t buy with just money.”
After saying this, both of them felt tight in their hearts.
Xiao Ai was nervous because she lied. In the beautiful country, money can indeed buy things.
Xie Yu didn't know much about foreign music circles, but based on her own experience, she did believe Xiao Ai's words.
However, Xie Yu said: "You suddenly asked for a sum of money, which seems a bit urgent."
"But if I transfer money directly to you, I'm afraid someone with a bad intention will think too much about it."
"In this way, I won almost more than 2.3 million at the mahjong table yesterday. I will give you all the chips, so you can easily handle the money yourself."
Little Love immediately felt happy. Her bottom line was two million, but she didn't expect it to be more than two million.
Of course, Xiao Ai had to pretend on the surface and accepted it reluctantly.
Xie Yu also felt that it was worth it, and took the initiative to say: "Then I would like to thank Teacher Ai for taking care of me. Whatever you want to eat for lunch, I will ask you to take care of it. Maybe next year I will ask you to take care of me in the beautiful country."
Just when Xiao Ai was about to refuse, she suddenly thought of Xie Yu's words. For the sake of Xie Yu's generosity, she had a new idea.
Xiao Ai said: "Okay, thank you Mr. Xie for your generosity!"
Then the two of them, at Xiao Ai's suggestion, chose a relatively clean restaurant nearby and ordered some dishes!
Seeing Xie Yu's "bold" eating attitude, Xiao Ai wiped her mouth elegantly with a napkin and said, "Mr. Xie, you are going abroad soon."
"I think you not only need some language training, but also some training in Western etiquette and common sense."
"In this way, I know a friend who is engaged in training abroad. I can introduce you to her."
Xie Yu toasted her with a drink and said, "Thank you then."
…
The next time, Xie Yu met an agency that specialized in providing overseas services under Xiao Ai's introduction.
With the introduction of the intermediary, I hired a one-to-one English training teacher at a high price and conducted special training.
Thanks to Xie Yu's good memory, word memorization has become a simple mode. With special oral training, Xie Yu has made breakthroughs in language skills very quickly.
Of course, I occasionally go to the special effects department of Marco Company to learn, or go to the "bathhouse" to play a few rounds of mahjong.
I also met Xiao Ai several times, and Xie Yu said hello twice, but she actually pretended not to see Xie Yu.
Xie Yu was a little angry and thought about not being deceived by her. Fortunately, Xiao Ai got in touch with Xie Yu quickly through an intermediary.
She said there was Lao Zhang's spy around, so she didn't get in touch with Xie Yu because she was afraid of trouble.
Then, she began to ask for some of Xie Yu's personal information, and with the help of the agency and her beautiful Chinese friend, she changed the tourist visa that Xie Yu originally applied for into a study visa.
Only then did Xie Yu feel more satisfied.
