Chapter Seventy-Seven: Clever Humpty Dumpty
Yin Junwan refused Zheng Donghan's invitation to dinner, and came out of Polygram, unknowingly It was five o'clock in the afternoon. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
He went directly to Xingji Tea Restaurant, and this is the place where the boy and Zeng Zhiwei made an appointment.
Because of the reasons he has worked here, Yin Jun basically regards Xingji Tea Restaurant as a base for his own discussions.
Because of this, many celebrities and producers have come here, and their fame is getting bigger and bigger.
Of course, the biggest reason for its fame is because Yin Jun used to work here.
Those employees of TV stations and radio stations who have eaten here like to mention to their juniors that when Yin Jun was not yet successful, he was serving us, serving tea and water, and working hard.
The story of Yin Jun being thrown away by the producer of Wireless and Li here is also widely circulated.
Many people who could see the two editors on the second floor at that time threw the script like a goddess scattering flowers, and they had ten years of conversation.
"Do you know? Those two idiots, not only do they not even read the book, but they actually dare to laugh at Yin Jun!"
"Do you know what kind of book they threw away? "Bao Qingtian"! My God, such a divine drama was actually picked up by two blind people, and I still can't look at it? I wanted to be able to open my mouth like Liu Tianci at that time, saying that it would be good to take it and take a look!"
"So, people, all on their own. If Yin Jun had given up at that time, where would he have the results that are now flourishing?"
“……”
These words came out, so that many screenwriters who felt that they had never met a talent couldn't help but want to come to Xingji Tea Restaurant, wanting to see if they could have a chance like Yin Jun.
At the same time, there are also many producers and directors who want to come and sit down from time to time to see if they can discover the second Yin Jun.
Because of this, Brother Xing's business is much better.
But this stingy guy never said that he would give Yin Jun a discount or send a side dish or something, he is really an iron stingy brother Xing!
Originally, I made an appointment to come to dinner at six o'clock and talk while eating, but when Yin Jun arrived, the waiter here told Yin Jun that a short and fat guy was already waiting for him in the private room booked on the second floor.
When I entered the door, this Humpty Dumpty who looked a little pleasing was not Zeng Zhiwei and who else?
Zeng Zhiwei is also smart, and when he saw Yin Jun, he immediately stood up: "Hello, you are Jun Shao, right?"
"Mr. Zeng is polite, just call me Yin Jun. Yin Jun smiled and stepped forward to shake his hand.
"How can it be?" Jun Shao, you are a hero and a young man, how can I be so big?" Zeng Zhiwei had a simple smile on his face, sat down after shaking hands, and took the initiative to pour a cup of tea for Yin Jun, "What about me, I admire the capable person the most, and admire the genius the most! Jun Shao, you are the kind of genius that you have never met in a hundred years!"
This guy, the high hats are sent one after another, and it doesn't cost anything to be beautiful anyway.
Yin Jun will not be fooled.
Not to mention anything else, he was the father of Zhiwei's family, but he is a cronie of Inspector 500 million, he was born in a wealthy family since he was a child, do you think he will really treat people like a little minion mentality now?
All manifestations are just means for him to achieve his own ends.
"Mr. Zeng, are you hungry now?" Yin Jun took a sip of tea and said, "Shall we talk while eating?"
"Okay!"
Zeng Zhiwei was also not polite, "I only did work at Liujiaban in the morning, and I was tired! Just eat something delicious to make up for my body." ”
"That's good. ”
After Yin Jun went out and ordered a bunch of signature food, after a while, a large number of bowls, plates, and steamers came up.
Although there are no big dishes in Xingji Tea Restaurant, these pastries, meat and food are very popular, and there is no problem for Xiangjiang people to eat these three times a day.
Zeng Zhiwei first ate two cages of shrimp dumplings and phoenix feet, then swallowed a few barbecued pork buns, and then drank a bowl of ginkgo black chicken soup before stopping the chopsticks.
You can see that he is really hungry.
People who engage in martial arts are all manual work, so they naturally consume more and eat more.
After burping, Zeng Zhiwei looked at Yin Jun who was eating slowly, and smiled unconsciously, "Jun Shao, I'm sorry!"
"It's okay, I eat the same when I'm hungry. Yin Jun smiled and raised his chopsticks, "Then Mr. Zeng, let's talk while eating." ”
"Good!"
Zeng Zhiwei picked up the chopsticks again, but this time he ate a little slower, "What you said, Ah Wei has already told me." Actually, I don't have any other ideas, I just want to come and talk to you and see what I can do in addition to acting. ”
"Huh?" Yin Jun was stunned, "Mr. Zeng means ......"
"Hey, Ah Wei is my good friend, we have stayed in Xiangjiang and Baodao together, if nothing else, just in front of his face, I will also agree to come over to act, not to mention that I am nothing now, someone paid me to come over, I can't ask for it!" Zeng Zhiwei smiled, "I've heard about it, the reason why you want to make this TV series first." can be an aunt who meets in Pingshui, can do this step, Jun Shao, you are this!"
He gave a thumbs up, "My father taught me that the most important thing in life is the word 'righteousness'. You can go bankrupt to help people, don't I have to get paid, isn't this an idiot?"
"Then thank you, Brother Zeng. Yin Jun changed his name without a trace.
Zeng Zhiwei's eyes moved, and he continued: "Jun Shao, with the relationship of Ah Wei, we are not outsiders. Don't look at my grandmother's painless appearance, but in addition to my martial arts instructor, I also worked as an assistant director of Liu's class, and I have also been in charge of the camera on the treasure island, and I have a lot of experience. So, I wondered if you were going to be filming, and in addition to being an actor, I could also help you look at the camera and help you do other things, like grooming or something...... Don't worry, I don't take money, I'm just helping!"
Yin Jun smiled in his heart.
Zeng Zhiwei is actually a very good person, he has known it for a long time.
Although he has been taught a few times because of his big mouth, most of the time, his connections are still good.
For example, Zeng Zhiwei makes money everywhere in the film industry, and it is not an exaggeration to call him "three family slaves", but the last few film companies do not resent him, and each of his movies can be released smoothly to make money, which is not something that ordinary people can do, and it takes a high level of communication skills and connections to do it.
But if you want to say that Zeng Zhiwei is not smart or cunning, it is false.
What he just said can actually be summed up in one sentence, "Don't just let me act, let me participate in the production process, I need this qualification very much!!"
Zeng Zhiwei has been a camera director and an assistant to the director before, but that is just some ordinary experience, this time Yin Jun is just a novice whether he is a director or a producer, if Zeng Zhiwei can participate in this TV series, once "Wulin Gaiden" is successful, then he will have a dazzling qualification, which will be very beneficial to his future development.
Even if it doesn't work, it doesn't matter, it's a matter of accumulating experience.
After saying these words, he didn't hear Yin Jun's answer for a long time, Zeng Zhiwei looked over, and saw Yin Jun looking at him with a smile, and his heart was shocked.
With his cleverness, of course, he knew that Yin Jun must have guessed his thoughts.
He smiled wryly and wanted to say a few more words, but Yin Jun spoke first: "Brother Zeng, if you want to do these projects, I can't ask for it, after all, my crew is very short of personnel, and it is a blessing for the crew that you can wear multiple hats." But it can't be without money. Although I don't have much money now, when the TV series is sold, I will definitely seal a big red envelope for you. ”
Hearing this, Zeng Zhiwei's heart suddenly calmed down, and he hurriedly raised a cup of tea: "Thank you, Junshao!"
"You're welcome. Yin Jun replied.
Between these few words, the two calmed down some of the dark currents just now, and truly entered a cooperative relationship.
Zeng Zhiwei secretly sighed how smart Yin Jun was, not only did he say all the good things at the beginning, but he was also sure that he would seal a red envelope for himself.
He doesn't care about any red envelopes, the key is Yin Jun's attitude, which makes people feel very happy.
Zeng Zhiwei doesn't like to cooperate with those stingy people, and when he goes to wireless in the future, if wireless doesn't give him enough appearance fee, don't want him to attend and host the show.
At this point, he is similar to his good friend Chen Baixiang, and the two of them also happen to be gold medal emcees hired by wireless externally, and then there are other jobs on weekdays, such as weddings and funerals, and the two of them will also pick them up.
Don't underestimate this income, after Xiangjiang Movies fell into a low ebb, Zeng Zhiwei and Chen Baixiang were able to live a very nourishing life, and they all relied on the work of these emcees!
After talking about his own affairs, Zeng Zhiwei obviously relaxed: "Jun Shao, where did you know Zhong Zhengtao and Chen Baixiang? I was really shocked when I heard that you are looking for them to act in a TV series or starring role." ”
"Zhong Zhengtao is not a small person, right?" Yin Jun said, "I remember that he has been hosting the show in Li's house? In the past two years, he also starred in several movies. ”
Zeng Zhiwei blinked: "Hehe, the host is not very famous." As for those movies, what are they? They are all street goods! Recently, a few of them were planning a movie, and if this movie could not be successful, he would have to go to Treasure Island...... His face is very handsome and decent, and several directors on Baodao like it. ”
According to history, Zhong Zhengtao will indeed go to Baodao in January next year to star in "Small Town Story" directed by Li Xin, which is the main carrier of "Small Town Story" written by Yin Jun before.
Teresa Teng sang this song, in fact, half of the reason at the beginning was that it became popular all over Treasure Island and even Southeast Asia because of this movie.
Zhong Zhengtao is also a handsome guy, and his title of "the man most willing to marry him in Asia" was obtained in the past few years by making literary and romantic movies on Baodao and Xiangjiang.
It's just that Zhong Zhengtao's personality is not as good as his other good friends.
He is a bit ambitious, and he also likes a luxurious life, plus he married such an unreliable wife, so he gradually withdrew from the film industry in the 90s and began to do various businesses.
Especially the house that speculated on Xiangjiang, so that he lost a lot in 97, and the whole person fell into the abyss of debt, and it was almost after 2013 that he could completely pay off his debts, please the embarrassing situation of personal bankruptcy.
Yin Jun nodded, "Zhong Zhengtao actually has a talent for comedy, I let him act, it shouldn't be bad." As for Chen Baixiang, although he is not very good at business, he is definitely a person born with comedy cells, which is similar to you. ”
"Him?"
Zeng Zhiwei was very suspicious of Yin Jun's eyes, looking left and right, that kid looked stupid, can he be as smart and talented as me?
However, Yin Jun is a funder, a director and producer, and Zeng Zhiwei will not be stupid enough to question him.
"Jun Shao, can I ask, what is the salary you give?" Zeng Zhiwei remembered something, so he asked: "Abi, that is, Zhong Zhengtao is not short of money now, but Chen Baixiang is short of money, and his business failure has not yet eased up." So if he can have a good salary, he should be able to work harder. ”
Yin Jun said: "I don't have much money in my hands now, so I can't get a high salary." Zhong Zhengtao is the protagonist, and I am going to give 300 episodes, and you and Chen Baixiang are both second-tier protagonists, so we can only have 150 yuan per episode, and there are 120 episodes in total. …… But you tell him that after this film is sold, I will definitely make up a red envelope for him. ”
"Make up the red envelope?"
Zeng Zhiwei slapped the table, "What kind of red envelopes do you want to make? This salary is already the price of Li's second-tier starring role, or the first-class main match! Not to mention the 300 yuan per episode on Abi's side, it is definitely the market price of the first-class starring role! Jun Shao, you spend so much money, won't you run out of money in advance?"
Yin Jun shrugged and said: "I'm helpless, and I don't have the support of a TV station, if even the salary is so cut, who is willing to help me film?"
To be honest, the price given by Yin Jun really can't be considered low, or even relatively high.
The first-class starring role of wireless, as long as it is not a super star like Zheng Shaoqiu, Wang Minquan, and Liu Songren, that is, 600 guarantees a month, and 200 yuan for one episode of TV series, it takes a spoiler like Jiashi to get a salary of 300 per episode, but now it has been reduced.
It's not that Yin Jun doesn't understand the market, as he said, he is not a TV stationer, he knows that "Wulin Gaiden" will be popular, but others don't know, why should others give you a newcomer in the industry to film?
That is, a higher salary, a higher salary can not only make them feel at ease, but also allow them to play better, which is the role of money.
Hearing this explanation, Zeng Zhiwei nodded lightly: "Indeed, if everyone is full of enthusiasm and can complete the shooting early, then it will be a saving on the cost." ”
After a pause, he said, "Since this is the salary, then they will definitely be able to come...... I'll bring them over tomorrow, and by the way, I'll get acquainted with the crew. Don't worry, Jun Shao, our side will definitely not drop the chain for you!"
"Thank you!" Yin Jun said solemnly.
Zeng Zhiwei, the trio, is a very important role in the play.
Especially Lao Bai played by Zhong Zhengtao, the role is second only to Tong Xiangyu, if he can play it well, "Wulin Gaiden" will have a little more hope of being more popular!
