"Some of these online novel writers are more diligent, while others are very lazy. They procrastinate and stop updating from time to time. Many times, when you read a novel, you will be stuck there, unable to get up or down, not to mention too much. It’s uncomfortable.”
"So, this is the reason why the first order you issued after establishing the Great Sage Literature website was to increase the perfect attendance award?" Li He looked at Yuxuan Zhang speechlessly.
"After all, if the perfect attendance award is low, there will be many authors who don't take the perfect attendance award seriously and will stop writing and ask for leave at every turn. This is too unfriendly to readers." explained Yuxuan Zhang.
"But your perfect attendance award has been doubled all of a sudden. This is a bit exaggerated." Li He said helplessly.
The perfect attendance award in 2009 is roughly divided into two stages, namely the perfect attendance award of 500 and 1,000.
If you update no less than 4,000 words a day and no less than 120,000 words a month, you can get a perfect attendance bonus of 500 yuan. If you update 10,000 words a day and no less than 300,000 words a month, you can get a perfect attendance bonus of 10,000 yuan. A perfect attendance award of RMB 1,000.
But now, Leslie Cheung directly demands that the perfect attendance award be doubled, that is to say, the future perfect attendance award will become one thousand and two thousand perfect attendance awards.
Although it is only an increase of 500 to 1,000 yuan. But the Perfect Attendance Award is for any novel published on the shelves. If this expenditure is doubled, it is not a small number.
"Actually, I want to improve it a little more, so that the author will not delay updates easily, but I also know that everything has a degree, so I just doubled it." Zhang Yuxuan said.
"...You still call everything a matter of moderation?"
Just like Li Huizhu said, Zhang Yuxuan wrote the script himself. When writing the script, there should be actors suitable for the image.
After agreeing to write a script for Li Huizhu, Zhang Yuxuan began to think about what kind of script would be suitable.
If it doesn't succeed - well, Zhang Yuxuan is thinking about making a low-cost movie for Li Huizhu to make.
So Shen Teng regretted more than once, regretting why he rejected Wang Jinghua when his head was hot.
Then Li Huizhu began to insert the two actors Mary and Ellen into the movie.
The boss lady played by Mary seems to be okay if she recalls Mary's works. Then there is Ellen.
The first impression of Allen is that he is stupid and not smart.
So Mary also knew that Shen Teng regretted it now and wanted to leave Happy Mahua.
As for the plot, it is even simpler. He Sanshui, who is unemployed but very principled, bought a winning lottery ticket in a supermarket but was rejected by the proprietress. In desperation, he took his nephew Tire and planned to "rob" the supermarket's overnight turnover to get back the money. Fair and hasty, he kidnapped the clerks Li Junwei and Tang Xiaolian. He put on his uniform and took charge of the supermarket. However, he encountered a series of nonsensical customers and made a series of jokes. He had no choice but to "request" the real salesperson for help. The "kidnapper" was dramatic. They conquered the "hostages" with their charisma. In order to achieve the "fair" goal of the "kidnapper", they put up a crazy sign offering a 50% discount on the entire supermarket, attracting a swarm of customers. Just when He Sanshui was about to "grab" enough of his winning lottery ticket At that time, a real robber came to the supermarket...
"Yes, of course it is possible. There is nothing impossible about the script you wrote, Yu Xuan." Before even reading the script, Li Huizhu had already begun to praise Yu Xuan.
As for Zhang Yi and Liu Yan, Zhang Yuxuan gave them the roles of the male protagonist and the female protagonist. Even though it was a low-cost movie, the two of them would not refuse. After all, they were the male and female protagonists. Especially for Speaking of Liu Yan.
"Uh, forget it, I don't care, it's up to you, Li He, to handle it."
"Okay, since it was recommended by Mary, I will accept you." Zhang Yuxuan calmed down and decided to sign Shen Teng.
Mary is sometimes involved in movie theaters or filming TV series, and sometimes she will invite Shen Teng.
On the one hand, this is a script written by Yuxuan Zhang, which makes it difficult to refuse.
Zhang Yuxuan pondered for a moment and passed through the images of several characters in his mind.
"Okay then. Let me take a look first."
But Shen Teng had a brain disorder or something and wanted to be loyal, so he chose to stay at Happy Twist Theater.
Li Huizhu started to read the script.
A small supermarket, with a karaoke OK inside, is almost complete.
"Chen Teng?" Zhang Yuxuan looked at Shen Teng standing in front of him with a smile on his face, and his mood was indescribably subtle.
Because Zhang Yuxuan is so famous now, as long as Zhang Yuxuan can play the leading role, no matter what kind of movie is made, it will have a box office of over 100 million.
"Who doesn't want to make a movie? The only difference is whether there is a chance." Li Huizhu said with a smile.
Even though Mary and Allen are a bit embarrassed to be neither up to nor down, to Shen Teng, they have already soared into the sky, to a level that makes Shen Teng envious.
Regardless of whether Li Huizhu was being polite or not, she said it all.
It can be said that the filming location of the entire movie is a supermarket, and it is not a large supermarket.
Zhang Yuxuan told the story to the screenwriting department, and the screenwriters in the screenwriting department began to improve and expand the story told by Zhang Yuxuan.
Hearing Zhang Yuxuan's question, Li Huizhu felt a joy in her heart. Since Zhang Yuxuan asked this, it means that Zhang Yuxuan intends to let her make a movie: "Not yet."
"Director Li, do you have a script?" Zhang Yuxuan already had an idea in mind, but he still asked Li Huizhu.
The three actors signed by Yuxuan Zhang are two men and one woman.
"You wrote the script, Yuxuan. You must know who is more suitable for the role. What you say is definitely suitable." Li Huizhu said with a smile. As for what she thinks in her heart, whether she will be unhappy about it, Zhang Yuxuan didn’t really care.
Even if we don't hire any big-name actors, but just use some newcomers or less well-known actors, the shooting cost can be controlled within one million.
Especially when he saw Ellen and Mary, they not only made movies, but also made TV series, and even appeared on the Spring Festival Gala. Shen Teng felt envious and jealous.
Therefore, Zhang Yuxuan will not treat his own people badly at all.
If she can make good movies, that would naturally be the best. After all, movie directors are ultimately more advanced and valuable than TV drama directors.
As for Tire, although his brain seems to be a bit lacking, he is not the stupid type. On the contrary, he is Zhu Liao, who I feel is more suitable for Allen to play.
When Wang Jinghua signed Allen and Mary, she wanted to sign Shen Teng as well.
In fact, low-cost movies are generally modern dramas, which do not include martial arts, fantasy, science fiction and the like. They are the type that do not require any special effects, and are preferably small scenes with simple shooting locations.
If Li Huizhu can shoot well, it will be good. Even if the shooting is not good, it will only be a low cost and it will not make people feel bad.
But if Zhang Yuxuan doesn’t want to act, there’s nothing she can do.
On the other side, Allen and Mary, after receiving the script invitation, they also did not refuse.
"The roles are not suitable, but I can make a guest appearance. There is a star in it, so I will make a guest appearance as that star." Zhang Yuxuan said with a smile.
"Director Li wants to make a movie?"
"Director Li, in this drama, I plan to let Zhang Yi play the role of the male protagonist He Sanshui, and then let Liu Yan play the role of the heroine Tang Xiaolian." Zhang Yuxuan directly selected these two roles.
Although the plot of the nightclub cannot be said to be very good overall, it is still pretty good, and at least it can be regarded as a qualified comedy.
If you want to be able to make the decision by yourself, you have to have good results. Before you can get good results, Zhang Yuxuan gave her the script and selected a few actors for her, which was already considered to be less involved.
Yes.
"Director Li, this is the script. Can you take a look at it?" Zhang Yuxuan placed the nightclub script in front of Li Huizhu.
In fact, Li Huizhu was not very angry.
"Ah? Just, just, signed me like this? Is this, is this a bit hasty?" Shen Teng couldn't help but ask.
As for playing a jobless vagrant in his thirties or forties - this role is simply too good for Zhang Yi. After all, Zhang Yi is now in his thirties and had accomplished nothing before. It's not an exaggeration to call him a vagrant. The most he can do is just pretend.
A little more unlucky.
This script is pretty good, but how can I put it? The cost of filming this script is really very low.
…
"Director Li, I have obtained the film and television rights of many novels. There are many excellent works among them that can be adapted into TV series. If you take a look and see which one you like, you can directly have someone rewrite the script and then use it for filming." Zhang Yuxuan laughed.
He said to Li Huizhu.
Seeing Zhang Yuxuan like this, Li Hao couldn't help but roll his eyes.
Therefore, the new script is quite different from the original script, and Zhang Yuxuan also feels that this script should be better than the original script.
It's okay to just stay if you want to stay.
Moreover, after Mary read the script and learned that the role of Li Junwei had not been decided yet, she couldn't help but recommend someone.
"Of course that's the best. After all, Yuxuan, your script is what countless directors want." Li Huizhu's face showed joy.
Hearing Li Huizhu's words, Zhang Yuxuan was stunned for a moment.
Furthermore, as Li Huizhu becomes a director this time, she just likes to make a good movie. As for other aspects, she won't think too much or care too much.
No matter how low the cost of the nightclub script is or how simple the story is, Li Huizhu decided to film this.
Then there is the current situation of Mary and Ellen.
After all, Zhang Yuxuan can only remember a general story, but he obviously cannot remember all the more detailed things. Also, when watching the movie, Zhang Yuxuan felt that the character Zhu Liao was a bit out of character, so
When telling the story, the role of Zhu Liao will naturally change accordingly.
"Well, how about I write a script for Director Li?"
But when Shen Teng saw that Mary and Allen were signed by Wang Jinghua, he immediately became popular. He couldn't help but feel a little jealous.
"I just don't think it's appropriate for you to promote perfect attendance like this. We have already started activities, and we are also using your reputation to promote the website, our website..."
Zhang Yuxuan smiled: "Director Li should take a look at it first to see if there is anything that needs to be modified or improved."
After reading the script, Li Huizhu's expression was a little subtle.
"Yes, yes, I am Shen Teng." Shen Teng nodded quickly.
Mary knows that although Zhang Yuxuan Studio is a studio, its resources are not bad at all.
So, after Mary saw the script of the nightclub and knew that the actor for the role of Li Junwei had not yet been decided, he thought of Shen Teng.
"That's it..." Zhang Yuxuan didn't expect that Li Huizhu was like filming a movie.
So the current script with simple characters, simple story, and simple shooting location is more suitable for her, so as to avoid any mistakes as much as possible.
Seeing that Li He was going to make a long speech, Zhang Yuxuan simply waved his hand and left everything to Li He to handle.
"Sister Hed, we are now establishing a new novel website. Of course, we must have good benefits to attract authors to join. Otherwise, if people are doing well on the original website, why would they join our new novel website, right? Therefore, if we appropriately increase the perfect attendance award, it can stabilize military morale and attract a group of authors to join, which is also good for the website."
"I don't have any suitable candidates for the role of Li Junwei. You can just choose whatever you want. The role is not outstanding anyway. As for the boss lady, let Mary play it. She is quite suitable for comedy. And Tire and Zhu Liao are the two Allen should be able to play any role. You can see for yourself which of these two roles is more suitable for Allen. As for other roles, you can make your own decision." Zhang Yuxuan only mentioned two more actors.
So since the script of the nightclub is not bad, the two of them will naturally not refuse the drama.
As for Zhang Yi, although he has made two movies now, both of which are male protagonists, this is not just a movie that was blocked by the owner and failed to pass the review, and the other movie has not been released yet. So Zhang Yi’s mentality is also quite good. , I also like the male protagonists of low-budget movies very much.
And Shen Teng, under Mary's persuasion, wanted to join Yuxuan Zhang Studio.
"I'll just talk about a few people. Well, I just want to give you a suggestion. In the end, it's up to you whether you want to choose." Zhang Yuxuan said to Li Huizhu.
In almost a week, the script was released and was approved by Leslie Cheung.
"Guest appearance - okay." Director Li couldn't help but feel a lot of regret.
"You are right to say that, but the operation cannot be so direct." Li He shook his head: "Instead of directly doubling the perfect attendance, it is better to divide it according to class and let the results speak for itself. The basic perfect attendance award is five hundred And there are two grades of one thousand. As the performance improves, the number of perfect attendance awards should be increased appropriately. For example, after the average number reaches a certain level, the perfect attendance awards will be doubled..."
But after all, Li Huizhu is the first director signed by her studio. Although she has been filming TV series before, I should give her a chance and give it a try.
"Yuxuan, um, as for the TV series, I really hope to continue filming. After all, this is what I am good at. However, I still hope to get a chance to try making a movie."
After making the decision, Li Huizhu began to prepare the crew and began to send invitations to Mary and Ellen. At the same time, she also began to look for other suitable actors.
Even Li Huizhu felt that this script was quite suitable for her!
Because she had been a film director once before, but the quality of the films she produced was not good.
After all, Lee Hye-joo is a TV drama director, so when making a movie, she has to make a low-cost movie through trial and error.
At this time, Leslie Cheung thought of a movie "Nightclub".
As for Shen Teng, he actually had a good relationship with Mary before. After all, Mary also stayed at Happy Twist for more than a year, so even if Mary left, she didn't completely cut off contact with Shen Teng.
The two of them became very popular after filming The Sorrow of Charlotte. However, after that, the two of them also took on some roles, but the films they filmed were not as popular as The Sorrow of Charlotte, so that the two of them are now It's like being in that awkward position of being neither up nor down.
"Yuxuan, except for He Sanshui who asked Zhang Yi to play the role and Tang Xiaolian who was given the role of Liu Yan, do you have any suitable actors to recommend for other roles?" Li Huizhu asked with a smile.
Moreover, the characters in the nightclub script, except for the cashier Li Junwei, are not suitable in terms of image. But the character Li Junwei, in the final analysis, is just a vase, a male vase, with nothing outstanding at all. If Zhang Yuxuan were to play the role, it would indeed be a bit of a waste to Zhang Yuxuan.
For example, if Zhang Yuxuan is allowed to participate, Zhang Yuxuan's salary alone will be 15 million, so the movie "Nightclub" will cost 16 million anyway.
The script is very simple and the plot is also very simple.
So, this scene happened now.
Regarding low-cost movies, Yuxuan Zhang kept thinking and recalling in his mind, trying to find a low-cost movie.
"Well, Sister Hed, what you said is correct, but our novel website is a new website and has no reader base."
Then, Mary also contacted Zhang Yuxuan and recommended Shen Teng to Zhang Yuxuan.
Needless to say, the two men have already become leading actors in movies, especially Zhang Yi. Counting this time, he has become the leading actor in movies for the third time. Even Liu Yan, under the arrangement of Yuxuan Zhang, She also acted as the second female lead in a TV series, and now Liu Yan has the opportunity to play the lead female lead in a movie.
In fact, there are still some differences between Yuxuan Zhang's version of the script and the original script.
Then Mary told Shen Teng to join Yuxuan Zhang Studio.
Of course, if the actors hired are better, the cost will naturally be higher.
"That's okay. Give me some time and I'll get you a script." Zhang Yuxuan said to Li Huizhu with a smile.
but!
"Ah? Yuxuan, aren't you going to star?" Director Li asked subconsciously.
When Li Huizhu heard this, she felt a little happy. After all, in this case, Zhang Yuxuan had only cast four roles in total. Although these four roles were all protagonists, at least Yuxuan Zhang did not win all the roles.
"Huh? What? Are you still going to let me test you, embarrass you, and make things difficult for you?" Zhang Yuxuan couldn't help but asked with a smile.
"No, no, no, no, no, no. I just feel that my signing is too, too easy." Shen Teng said quickly.
"The reason why I signed you is partly because you were introduced by Mary. I have a good relationship with Mary and I know her as a person. If you don't have the ability, Mary won't recommend you to come here. What's more? , you also had a background in drama before, so you don’t have to worry about your acting skills. The most important thing is that I like you." Zhang Yuxuan said three points.
"So that's it, thank you boss, thank you boss. Then I will sign the contract now?" Shen Teng heard what Zhang Yuxuan said, and he knew it in his heart. It turned out that he had taken advantage of Mary, and he couldn't help but feel grateful to Mary.
