"Sun ...... Hello Mr. Sun, I am Chen Kaige from Beijing Film Academy, and this is my classmate Zhang Yimou. Chen Kaige saw the word Sun Shaoping at the award ceremony in the newspaper and hurried over, and when they met, he didn't expect the other party to be so young, and the teacher's two words were a little awkward.

"Oh, hello!" Shen Long was secretly refreshed in his heart, one of these two was the first big director in China to win the Cannes Palme d'Or, and the other was even known as the national teacher, and now they both call themselves teachers.

"Teacher Sun, we have something we want to ask you for help with, let's find a quiet place to talk slowly, shall we? Don't know if you have time? Anyway, the first call was made, and Chen Kaige let go of the mustard, although he has always been arrogant, but now he has a request for others, and the situation is different.

"The meeting is over, so it's okay for the time being." Shen Long looked at these two big directors, at this time, their faces were still a little green and immature, which was different from what he saw on TV in later generations, as soon as he heard their names, Shen Long probably guessed why they came.

"Then let's go to the coffee shop next door and have a chat!" Chen Kaige is a disciple of the big courtyard, and he is very familiar with the capital, so he took Shen Long out of the hotel and didn't go far to the outside of a Western-style café.

Zhang Yimou saw the decoration of the café and cringed a little, Chen Kaige walked in generously, the three of them went inside, Chen Kaige skillfully ordered a cup of Blue Mountain for himself, "What do Mr. Sun and Yimou want to drink?" ”

"I've never been in a café before, you can help me choose!" As Sun Shaoping, he really hasn't tried it, and Shen Long didn't bother to pretend to be like this, so he said generously, his calm appearance made Zhang Yimou feel a lot less restrained, and he looked at this fellow more and more pleasing to the eye.

Chen Kaige was bored, and after helping them order coffee and pastries, he did not go directly to the topic, but talked about it through Zhang Yimou's relationship with him who belonged to Shaanxi.

Shen Long and Zhang Yimou talked about something about Shaanxi, and unconsciously the two sides pulled into a relationship, Chen Kaige felt that the time was almost up, so he said, "Mr. Sun, that's the case, Yimou and I are about to graduate, and we are about to think about what works to shoot, and I haven't been able to find a suitable story until I saw your "Yellow Earth" on "Harvest", this time I heard that you came to the capital, and the two of us hurriedly ran over, I want to ask if you can allow us to shoot?" ”

Of course, how much adaptation fee will be given? Shen Long really wanted to ask, if it was put into the future generations, with their identities and coffee positions, the adaptation fee would be less than a few million, and they would not be able to open their mouths at all.

It's a pity that there is no film and television adaptation right now, the current film is purchased and sold, and the film is purchased by China Film Company, 500,000 black and white films, 700,000 color films, in this case, naturally there will be no adaptation fee, but there is money to write a script, and a feature film script is 1500 yuan.

If you calculate the money according to the word count standard, it is better than writing, generally 90 minutes of movie scripts are generally more than 24,000 to 30,000 words, 120 minutes are probably between 30,000 and 45,000 words, which is almost between 30 and 60 words per 1,000 words, which is definitely not as good as the transfer fee of film and television adaptation rights in later generations, but it is also a lot of income.

Chen Kaige was actually quite nervous when he asked, because the two of them were too young, and if they had made movies before, the other party would definitely be worried that they would not be able to shoot well.

"Of course it's good to be able to put your own work on the big screen." Shen Long naturally didn't have this worry, if they didn't shoot well, then no one in China would be able to shoot well, and this work was originally completed by them, and the quality was quite good.

"In principle, I agree." A promise is a promise, but I have to pay for the script, I'm still waiting for the money to rent a house in Xi'an, this time he doesn't want to live so shabby anymore, and Lan Xiang is about to go to college, so he has to prepare more things for Lan Xiang, "But how are you going to write the script?" ”

"It would be great if you could help write it!" Hearing Shen Long's promise, Chen Kaige was immediately half relieved, as for the problem of the script, he was not worried, he originally planned to let Shen Long participate in the creation of the script, and with the original author joining, he could better grasp the essence of the story.

As for writing a script and writing different issues, it is a trivial matter, and when the time comes, just find a senior screenwriter to help check it, let Mr. Sun grasp the main line of the story, and the senior screenwriter is responsible for the format and other aspects.

"I'm just going to stay in the capital for a few more days, so we can talk about the script." Originally, I had to live in a hotel by myself, but now it seems that I can save this money; As for whether the movie can be successfully established, he is not worried at all, since Chen Kaige can do it in the original time and space, he will definitely not be wrong this time.

Not to mention his professional ability, his father is a famous director in China, and it is not easy to help win the project? No matter what era it is, it will always be more convenient for insiders to do things than outsiders.

"That's really troublesome Teacher Sun, why don't you go to live in our school! I'll find you a place. Chen Kaige was overjoyed and immediately said that his father had been a teacher at Nortel and knew the school leaders very well, so finding a house was not a problem at all.

"Shall we go now, then?" Shen Long got up and went to settle the bill, and went back to the hotel with the two of them; Chen Kaige originally wanted to rush to settle the bill with Shen Long, but was left speechless by Shen Long's sentence that you are still a student.

The two of them helped Shen Long carry his luggage, took the bus to the school, and put the luggage in the dormitory for a while, Chen Kaige asked Zhang Yimou to accompany Shen Long to visit the school, and he hurriedly took advantage of this time to solve the accommodation problem; In the name of writing the script, there was a creative studio and a temporary residence.

came back to move Shen Long's luggage in, and took him to the school cafeteria for dinner, and then the three of them discussed the script in Shen Long's temporary residence.

Shen Long has seen the finished movie, and he has read the original script several times, although the story he wrote is slightly different from the original book, but it doesn't matter much, just modify it slightly.

With these materials as the foundation, Shen Long quickly stunned the two masters who had not yet grown up, "Teacher Sun, I didn't expect you to not only write well, but also be an expert when it comes to movies and scripts!" ”

He is relieved now, it seems that he doesn't need to find a senior screenwriter to cooperate with the creation, he can get the script alone, once he has the script, it will be better to apply for the project.

Zhang Yimou was in a daze beside him, his mind was full of the color contrast that Shen Long had just depicted, and the contrasting patterns left a deep impression on him.
