Half a year later.

Jiangcheng, southern Jiangsu Province, China.

The Jiangcheng under the night sky washed away the dust roar of the sun and gradually returned to calm.

It was already eleven o'clock in the evening.

At the foot of Weishan Street.

In front of a dilapidated old house at the foot of the mountain, a large group of crew members were still busy.

A young man came to the door of the old house with a gun carefully, pushed it with his hand, and the door creaked and opened...

"Ka, this one has passed! Eun-jun, you've done a good job! Now you're going to the inner court!" Rong Dasheng shouted behind the monitor. He was tall and strong, and he was particularly imposing when he shouted.

The male lead Yang Enjun gave Rong Dasheng a confident smile.

The crew members entered the house one after another, the lighters set up lights, the photographers adjusted the camera, and the workers carried debris and cleaned the site under the command of the on-site producer.

Li Xianyun walked over to look at the picture on the monitor and said, "The performance is still not very natural, is it over?"

Seeing that it was Li Xianyun, Rong Dasheng said helplessly: "I am also very desperate. Ren Zhi said he would finish filming this scene tonight. Besides, this kid's acting skills are so bad that he can't adjust it well no matter how hard he adjusts it."

Li Xianyun was happy: "This mess has compressed time again?"

Rong Dasheng stretched out five fingers and replied angrily: "I want me to shoot him twenty shows a day."

This guy has a problem with speaking, he likes to make gestures.

Talking about two and five, talking about five and showing eight, talking about eight and showing two, depending on which finger is more time at that time!

Li Xianyun was also wondering why his mouth and hands were so inconsistent? The key was so inconsistent and he really liked to gesture.

Ignoring his inconsistent verbal coordination, Li Xianyun was shocked by what he said.

Twenty shows a day!?

Hold!

Ren Zhi is such a bastard who can't change his shit.

Normally, a million-level online movie will take about twenty to twenty-five days to shoot. If a movie is not too complicated, it will usually only be about one hundred events, which is about four or five events a day.

Twenty shows a day...

Are you going crazy?

Ren Zhi did this to save money, because a considerable number of people in the crew calculated money by day.

Li Xianyun curled his lips: "I'm convinced him too."

Ren Zhi is a college alumnus of Li Xianyun, sixty or seventh class higher than Li Xianyun.

Six years ago in the original world, Li Xianyun accidentally met Ren Zhi. The two were hooking up with girls in a bar, but they fell in love with the same one. After a fight, Ren Zhi was defeated with an ugly face that was unique and beaten up. At the stage of harsh words, he found that they were alumni.

So he turned his enemies into friends, and on that night when the music roared, the lights swayed and the lights were swaying, he decided to collaborate with his arms around his shoulders - Li Xianyun produced the script and Ren Zhi used the script to attract investment.

Ren Zhi is also a good person to brag. He took the script to a layman and told the other party that this was a script written by a famous writer. The writer brought tens of millions of traffic. As long as this movie starts up, it will be a million fans.

According to him, Li Xianyun is a great master in the industry. He earns tens of millions of dollars a year and enjoys his status. He doesn't deserve to carry his shoes. This script is written even more brilliantly and is definitely the next hit.

After investing, Ren Zhi gave Li Xianyun another 50,000 yuan in script fees, with a firm word: Although you are a good person in the online literature circle, you are a newcomer in the film and television circle after all. Don’t talk big when you come up. Let’s enter the industry first and then develop. The right way is to make steady progress.

One trick on both sides, it’s done!

Li Xianyun from the original world didn’t know the trick at first, but after working together twice, he knew how bad Ren Zhi was.

With one million investment, he can hack you by 500,000 yuan and leave 500,000 yuan for shooting.

This is not an individual phenomenon!

Some film and television investment funds give up as much as 60% of the investment cashback - that is, as long as you help him bring the investment, you will be rewarded with 10 million and you will be given 6 million. The remaining 4 million will be made. Funds and film and television companies will still make a comeback. How much can you spend on film and television shooting?

The fundamental reason for all this is that laymen do not understand the industry, their financial system is not sound, and a group of mischiefs to make up for their numbers, which directly lowered the atmosphere of the entire film and television industry.

Of course, there are good people, but laymen have no ability to identify - how do you know who is good people and who is scum? Listen to their brags? Then Ren Zhike is the living Buddha on earth!

So if outsiders want to make money in this industry, they either spend money to buy experience or have reliable people to take care of!

Although Ren Zhi cheated, it may not be possible to say that he is rich.

The more prosperous you are, the harder it is.

In the six years since the original world, Ren Zhi jumped up and down, took on jobs everywhere, and did scattered work such as four movies and some promotional films. After removing the company's expenses, he actually made more than one million yuan.

He earned more than one million in six years. In the bustling city of Jiangcheng, this income is not up or down. Some time ago, the situation was short of funds, and he even borrowed some money from Li Xianyun.

So although Ren Zhi is a producer or a company boss, his business background is actually much worse than Li Xianyun, a migrant worker who wrote a lyricist. In the past six months, Li Xianyun rewrites the novel he wrote in the past. At a speed of 35,000 words a day, he created the No. 1 Snapman on the Final Chinese Network.

Oh, by the way, the leading literary website here is not called the starting point, but the end point.

The starting point is the end point, starting with me and ending with me.

Therefore, after half a year of traveling through Li Xianyun, he completed the road of the previous five years in one go, sold several copyrights, and his income far exceeded that of Ren Zhi, and he also bought the house he had bought again.

Fuck a special girl!

I’m a shame if I buy a house twice!

But if you only look at the name, "big producers" are obviously more famous than "big writers".

Sometimes when I meet customers outside, Ren Zhi will pat Li Xianyun on the shoulder and say, "Xiao Li, I have bought all your copyrights for you, I will ask Nolan to take photos of you."

I, Nolan, your sister!

You can't afford to buy half of the copyrights of me, but you're a poor guy pretending to be a good person!

Li Xianyun cursed in his heart and laughed: "Thank you, Mr. Ren, for loving love."

I'm really fucking giving you a face!

After half a year of traveling, Li Xianyun saw that the manuscripts in his mind were almost finished and he had saved money, so he took the initiative to come to Ren Zhi. Although he had as many as six years of crew experience, he had left his experience after traveling through time and lost his connections.

The crew relationships are basically based on introductions, so sometimes knowing a crew member means having the most basic network of contacts, and the producers, actors and deputy directors, and group leaders rely on this to make a living.

It is precisely for this reason that there is a big taboo in the crew: the crew members cannot leave contact information at will.

Because this is equivalent to stealing someone's job.

But this kind of thing cannot be stopped. The crew is in good relationships and they still have connections in private - you can't keep an eye on it 24 hours a day?

While the actors sent the girl to the investor's bed, they said, "Don't leave WeChat with others." Isn't this nonsense?

So Li Xianyun and Ren Zhi re-connected, and at the same time they also re-engage the people they had known. This time it was no longer a script price of 50,000, but a hundred thousand.

At this moment, he knew that Ren Zhiyi had to film twenty films a day, and Li Xianyun couldn't help but shake his head and exclaim: "I think I really don't want to do it anymore."

Panic is Ren Zhi’s nickname.

Although this guy is cheating, he is very brave. He has been scared by investors to kneel down, so he got this nickname.

Kneel in a panic, and kneel in the world!

Rong Dasheng curled his lips: "What can he do with such a pussy?"

Li Xianyun smiled and said, "But even so, you have to listen to him, right? Who said he is the producer?"

Rong Dasheng was puzzled: "Sometimes I don't understand how people like him get along."

Li Xianyun was not surprised: "What? Waste can't get up? Waste also has the advantage of waste."

"What are his advantages?"

"Shameless." Li Xianyun spread his hands.

Rong Dasheng thought about it and nodded vigorously: "That's right, sometimes people who are trying to compete for either talent or face these days."

Li Xianyun sighed: "The key is that it is renewable resources, infinite proliferation and unlimited sale..."

The two laughed at the same time, and then a scream of "Ah!" sounded from the house, followed by a crisp slap, which attracted the crew to look at each other.

"What happened?"

Only Li Xianyun sighed softly: "The venue has changed, time has changed...but there are always some things that will not change. Unfortunately, it's a pity that's worthless."

Taking out the phone, Li Xianyun walked into the house.

PS:

This book is not a traditional rebirth of film reproduction, but a business story that started with a film and television company. By the way, it reveals the inside story and tells the current situation of the industry (mainly film and television, but not limited to film and television).

Of course, the film and television industry is not all dark, there is also light, and there must be those who do business well. But who can read the novels of bright and honest, right? Disclose some darkness in the real world, but don’t cover it up, thinking that everyone is doing this.

In fact, there is no circle that does not have a dark side. There is always shadow under the sun, but after all, it is mostly sunshine. However, few people point it out from an industry perspective (even if there is this explanation, if it becomes popular, I guess I will become a public enemy of the industry. If I go out to do it in the future, I can't say that I am destined to be 0, haha).

I have been working in film and television since the beginning of 2020. I have been involved in the production of some film and television dramas. I have been in the industry for three years. During this period, I have suffered losses, profits, ups and downs. I have been a producer, a screenwriter, and even made mere notes, director assistants, project planning, etc., and have operated complete film projects and taught myself some related things.

Of course, compared with those old men in the industry who have been in the industry for ten or twenty years, they must be far inferior. What we know is nothing but the basics, but it should be enough to write novels - history experts cannot write historical novels, and they are actually better at just having a single understanding.

I have also come into contact with some industry bosses, high, middle and low ends, and learned some business knowledge (so my writing speed is really not slow, I have to work more than ten hours a day, and this book is the fastest and most enjoyable I have written. I won’t talk about how many manuscripts there are, so I don’t have to worry about the problem of unfinished finishing anyway).

I have adapted many of these personal experiences in the book, but I won’t say which ones are specific. I believe you will see them then.
To be continued...
