Sister Xia stopped the car at the entrance of the alley.
Li Qingning and Sister Liao got out of the car and said hello to Wen Nier, who had been waiting for a long time.
Li Qingning had been to this alley, where the master violin maker, his filial son Hong Shan, and Wen Nier lived. When Jiang Yang came to pick up the violin as a gift, Li Qingning wanted to buy a yard here.
In the drama "Birdman", Wen Nier also invested, and during a certain chat, Li Qingning asked her to help keep an eye on it.
It's also a coincidence.
The courtyard opposite Hongshan's house was recently put up for sale.
Wen Nier quickly called Li Qingning.
After meeting, Wen Nier said: "Jiang Yang didn't come over?"
Li Qingning said: "I have been on the set these two days."
A short film is short to talk about, but takes a long time to shoot, and this short film has too many details, so Jiang Yang had to keep an eye on it on the set.
Wen Ni'er was curious: "What drama?"
She had seen what Jiang Yang was capable of.
In the original drama, she invested some money and did not hold a large share. It was as good as the devil eating meat and she drank soup, but this was already more than her previous investment. Although the new drama of the drama company has not been released yet, the literary
Nier was already shocked.
She felt that for this play, even if it didn't make any money, it still had to be performed more even if it was losing money.
That's awesome.
Li Qingning said: "A suspenseful short film."
Wen Nier was somewhat looking forward to it.
As the author of Poirot, Jiang Yang has not released many suspense short films.
They walked into the alley, and when they passed the door of Wen Nier's house, Li Qingning saw Mr. Hong sitting on the threshold of the door, looking melancholy at the door opposite.
The last time Li Qingning customized a violin, she met the old man and said hello to him.
The old man said nothing.
Wen Nier asked Li Qingning to ignore him: "The old man is lovelorn."
"Well."
Li Qingning didn't know what to say for a while, so he asked casually: "Is everything okay?"
Wen Nier waved her hand, "Hey, what can happen? I fall in love seven times a week."
Li Qingning is already hesitating about buying a house.
Don't lead her husband astray.
"It's all unrequited love."
Wen Ni'er continued, "Like his son, he likes to play the game of secret love."
They walked to the opposite door.
The courtyard opposite belongs to an old lady.
Her husband has passed away many years ago, and her son lives in Slovakia, so she lives alone in this house. However, now that she is old and her legs and feet are inconvenient, her son wants to take her to live abroad, so she plans to sell this house.
"Slovakia?"
Li Qingning was stunned for a moment, and suddenly thought of the "Czech, Slovakia" joke Jiang Yang said that night, and couldn't help but chuckle.
Wen Ni'er was surprised: "What's wrong? You're not satisfied?"
They are at the door now.
Li Qingning shook his head, "No, I thought of something."
They entered the courtyard.
Now that the courtyard has been vacated, it can be seen that the old man is very neat and tidy up the yard.
This courtyard is a courtyard with two entrances.
Li Qingning turned around twice and felt that it was pretty good and enough for Jiang Yang to toss around.
However, the owner of the yard also had conditions when selling the yard. The tree on the road in the backyard was not for sale.
Li Qingning agreed.
The rest is left to Sister Liao.
Sister Liao is usually responsible for Li Qingning's asset management and so on. Jiang Yang had met her when he was writing "Roger's Mysterious Case".
As soon as they went out and before getting in the car, Li Qingning received a call from director Zhang Mo.
Zhang Mo's movie in the first half of the year was very successful, and the blessing of "Farewell" was indispensable.
This can be seen from the fact that after the popularity of the movie has passed, the popularity of "Farewell" has not diminished. Now, on music platforms, video clips and short videos, "Farewell" is a popular video BGM of sadness and farewell, and is ranked all year round.
in the first.
Zhang Mo has always been very grateful to Li Qingning.
He was very polite on the phone, "I have an agent friend abroad who wants to meet and chat with you. He asked me to get in touch. If you want to meet, let's make an appointment. If you don't want to meet, I'll help you turn it down."
"broker?"
Li Qingning stopped.
Ever since that female devil appeared, she had a bad impression of these agents.
"Do not misunderstand."
Zhang Mo said hurriedly.
The largest foreign brokerage company failed under Li Qingning, and everyone in the industry knew it.
Many celebrities who wanted to hook up but had no way to get online were jealous when they learned about this, and they had to say that they were bullshit. But because of this, other overseas agencies did not come back.
Find Li Qingning.
Now this agent——
Zhang Mo said: "She is an independent agent."
She once worked for the agency where The Devil Wears Prada, and now she has resigned to become an independent agent. Zhang Mo received a lot of help from her in the casting of a certain co-production. In Zhang Mo's opinion, she is a particularly outstanding person.
's agent.
"Her name is Caroline."
Zhang Mo said that Caroline came here mainly as an agent for the script of "The Pianist on the Sea".
Li Qingning suddenly realized.
She originally gave this script to Andy, but unfortunately, Andy and his company's market focus on East Asia, and their influence there is limited; and the script "The Pianist on the Sea" is good, but to be honest, the commercial value -
The director and production company had to be very passionate to make this movie.
So no director or producer has taken over.
Li Qingning felt that it would be good if there was a professional agent who was responsible for the agency of scripts.
She agreed to meet.
But it's a pity that tomorrow is the drama audition, and the day after tomorrow she has to rehearse at the music festival. Her schedule has been full recently.
As for today’s trip——
Jiang Yang was born to break her plans.
Zhang Mo thought for a while, "She will be arriving in Kyoto tomorrow. Let's see, why don't we meet at the theater tomorrow night and have a chat first?"
If Li Qingning is not satisfied, he will waste no time.
Li Qingning agreed.
Caroline also quickly received a reply from Zhang Mo.
She is at the airport.
After replying "Thank you", she looked at the script in her hand.
Before leaving his job, this script was recommended to their company.
Their company rejected the script.
But it doesn't mean that they rejected the script just because Li Yu refused to cooperate with them.
In the business world, there are no eternal enemies, only eternal interests.
If the script could make money, they wouldn't even mind letting Li Yu reject it twice more.
But it's a pity that after evaluation, the company considered this movie to be a movie that might compete for awards.
But investment returns come with risks—
This script is dead.
later.
Caroline resigned from the company and became an independent agent.
Then, she thought of this script.
Personally, she really liked the script.
certainly.
This still doesn't change that this script won't have much reward. Even with the current political correctness everywhere, it will be a problem for this script to win awards. Maybe if you encounter a buff stack, even if you have a chance to win, you will lose it.
But some things can withstand the precipitation of time.
Just like a book.
When some books first came out, they were tepid and not even a best-seller. But after a long time, you will find that this book has been among the best-sellers. It was completed before you knew it.
surpassing those bestsellers of the year.
What's more -
This script is a stepping stone.
if.
She put the script out and then filmed it.
If there are other movie scripts in the future, will Li Yu still give them to her?
