Chapter 268, Wang Jing and the happy ghost(2/2)

Youzi whispered to his son.

"Don't worry, Dad, I know how to do it." The son nodded, indicating that he understood.

"Long time no see. Brother Dong, you are still so handsome. Let me introduce you. This is my son, Wang Jing. My son's name is Brother Dong." The lard boy with a thin head smiled so much that his eyes were bent, and he stretched out his hands.

Come out and shake hands with Lei Weidong.

"Hello, Brother Dong, you are my idol. I often hear my dad say how awesome you are at home, and today I finally met you in person." Wang Jing said with a smile.

"Your name is Wang Jing." Looking at the fat man who called himself Wang Jing, Lei Weidong felt a little dizzy.

"Yes." Wang Jing nodded and explained, "Lardboy is my father's nickname. His surname is Wang and his full name is Wang Tianlin, so it is normal for me to be called Wang Jing."

"It's indeed normal." Lei Weidong smiled, "Back then, I was so used to calling him brother, I even forgot to ask him his last name."

"I have retired from the world, so I can still call me Brother, Brother Dong. You can call me Lao Wang or Fatty Wang. It's so cordial." Zhu Luzi said with a smile.

"Let's call him Brother Zai!" Lei Weidong shrugged, "No matter what, you are a senior, Brother Zai. It would be too rude to call you Lao Wang or Fatty Wang."

Lei Weidong's words cheered up Lardboy. He didn't expect that Lei Weidong could still miss his old friendship. He was very happy that his son had a way out. He was the richest man in Hong Kong. If he was willing to help, he would definitely make his son lose his life.

Ten years of struggle.

"You guys chat slowly, I have something else to do, so I'm leaving first." Seeing Lei Weidong and Lard Zai chatting happily, Chen Xijiu breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that today's matter was done, so he said.

"Brother Jiu, please leave first if you have something to do. Come and chat when you have time. There will be fewer and fewer old people like us in the future." Lei Weidong nodded and said goodbye to Chen Xijiu.

"Lard Boy and I are old people who cannot keep up with the times. Brother Dong, you are different. You are in the best time now. We still hope that you will break the boundaries and become the first Chinese director in Hong Kong." Chen Xijiu joked.

Say a few words, get up and leave.

"Brother Zai!" Lei Weidong took a sip of the tea brought by the servant, and then asked with a smile, "I heard what Brother Jiu said, you came to me because...

"Well!" When the conversation got down to business, Lardboy was very serious, "Brother Dong, when I visit you today, in addition to catching up with old friends, I mainly talk about movies.

After Wang Jing graduated from college, he always wanted to enter the entertainment industry and make movies. He wrote a lot of scripts and I want you to comment on them, Brother Dong."

"Okay!" Lei Weidong said with a smile, "I am also a movie lover, otherwise I would not invest in film companies and theaters. If you have a good script, just come up with it. If possible, I will not only invest, but also provide

Your best shot."

"Really!" Wang Jing, the little fat man, perked up. His face no longer looked honest and honest. Instead, it looked shrewd and he inherited all the advantages of his father.

"Of course it's true." Lei Weidong nodded.

"That's just right. I have a wonderful idea here. Brother Dong, can you help me take a look?" Wang Jing took out a stack of manuscripts from his briefcase. He had obviously prepared them and was waiting for Lei Wei.

Dong spoke.

"Ha ha!"

Wang Jing's actions made Lei Weidong laugh out loud, but it was nothing, so he just read the script for fun.

"hehe!"

After taking the script, Lei Weidong flipped through a few pages and burst out laughing.

This is Lei Weidong's previous life, the famous comedy movie "Happy Ghost" with Xiaobo and students as the main body in Xiangjiang movies. An investment of more than one million and less than two million was exchanged for more than 10 million in box office, not to mention the box office.

He filmed several movies in a row and made a lot of newcomers famous.

"How did you come up with this idea?" Lei Weidong asked after reading the script.

"It was at a party in a middle school." Wang Jing said while looking at Lei Weidong, "A few students performed a play about campus hauntings. I thought it was very interesting, so I wrote this script.

It's a pity that people at Wireless thought the script was too childish. Although the investment was small, just over one million, it was difficult to find a market for the film, so I had no choice but to go out and find investors.

Brother Dong, if you think it’s suitable and can invest, I won’t ask for a script fee, just let me direct it, and I guarantee that this film will definitely make money.”

"make money!"

Wang Jing's words made Lei Weidong smile, "There is no problem with investment, but I have a few questions."

"Brother Dong, tell me." Wang Jing said with a smile, "I will definitely answer everything I know."

"You said this script will definitely make money. How can you tell that the main audience of the movie is that group of people."

Wang Jing organized the language and said: "The reason why it is definitely profitable is because the main audience of the script is students, young people between the ages of thirteen and twenty-two. This group is very large and accounts for 10% of the moviegoers."

More than a third of the crowd.

But now, there are no movies targeting this group of people, so I guarantee that as long as the movie captures the core of students and comedy, and is released during the summer or winter vacation, the box office will definitely surprise everyone."

"That's right." Wang Jing's words made Lei Weidong nod his head. He was very doubtful whether this fat man corresponded to Wang Jing. The two had the same name, the same appearance, and similar personalities. If they had the same talents, he would pick them up.

Treasure.

"What are your thoughts on actors?" Lei Weidong continued to ask.

"Because I'm a new director, even with your support, Brother Dong, I can't increase investment, so I'm going to look for newcomers and veteran actors, not stars."

"Old actor and newcomer?"

"Yes." Wang Jing nodded,

"The most important characters in the film are the happy ghost and the three female students, plus the playboy at most.

Happy Ghost requires acting skills and needs to find an experienced actor who is not well-known. There are many such people in major film companies, and a salary of tens of thousands of yuan is enough.

As for the three female students, in order to make the film more relevant to the student community, I plan to go to the school to find new ones. As long as they are innocent, lively, pretty, smart, and have some acting skills, it doesn’t matter. I just need to spend some time training them."

"If you say so, I have two candidates here. You can meet them and see if they are suitable." The newcomer Wang Jing said reminded Lei Weidong of Zhu Wanfang and Xiao Stutter.

In real life, these two made their debuts in "Happy Ghost", so it would definitely be appropriate for them to play the female students."

"Brother Dong, you have such high vision, you must be talking to the right person." Wang Jing chuckled.

Wang Jing is not only not worried about Lei Weidongsai, but also happy, because it means that the investors attach great importance to the film, as for rights.

hehe!

Wang Jing is not a person who easily seizes power. The biggest factor in making a movie is to make money and become famous. As long as he can make money and become famous, even if a bunch of bad actors are given to him, Wang Jing can find a way to make it work.

"Brother Dong, this movie focuses on winter vacation or summer vacation. It's already March, so there's no need to consider winter vacation. I'm going to spend my summer vacation this year. What do you think?"

"Is it a rush to select people, shoot, and edit in a few months during the summer vacation?" Lei Weidong asked.

"There's enough time. I've already conceived the movie in my head. All I have to do is shoot it." Wang Jing pinched his fingers and said, "Selecting the people, finding the location and other preparations will be done in half a month and up to 20 days."

Filming can be done in a month if it's slow, or in 20 days if it's done quickly.

As for the subsequent soundtrack and editing, I worked harder and finished it in twenty days.

Based on this calculation, it can be completed in two months at most, that is, mid-May. There is still one month before the summer vacation, which is enough time to promote it."

"Really!" Lei Weidong nodded and thought to himself, he is indeed a fast shooter, exactly like Wang Jing in reality.

"How much budget do you want?" Lei Weidong asked the key question.

"This!" Wang Jing chuckled, "You can just pay it as you see it. One million is the starting point. If you give me 800,000, I can find a way to shoot it. It doesn't matter 1.2 million or 1.3 million."

Too much."

"I'll give you 1.5 million." Lei Weidong waved his hand and said, "Although it is a film made by a newcomer with a small investment, the quality must be guaranteed."

"One and a half million, that's great." Wang Jing was overjoyed when he heard the number given by Lei Weidong. He looked at the indifferent Lei Weidong and said with some embarrassment:

"If I had 1.5 million, I could be more careful when shooting to make the film more effective and definitely meet your requirements, Brother Dong."

"How do you calculate your director's remuneration?" Lei Weidong asked again, "Is it a fixed box office or a share."

"This depends on how you give it to me, Brother Dong." Wang Jing rolled his little eyes and said flatteringly, "You can give me whatever you want, just watch it."

"Don't just give it to me, just name a number. As long as it's not too high, I'll agree." Lei Weidong waved his hand and motioned to Wang Jing to raise it himself.

"I'd better get a fixed salary." Wang Jing said cautiously, "Because I'm also a newcomer, and the purpose of making movies is to become famous. Just give me 50,000 yuan. If the maximum number of movies is made, if the box office is good, give me

Just a red envelope."

"What about the movie copyright? Who owns the copyright of "Happy Ghost"?"

"Of course it belongs to you." Wang Jing gave up the copyright easily.

"I will do as you say. The basic salary is 50,000 yuan. If the box office is a hit, I will give you a red envelope that is no less than the salary." Seeing Wang Jing's atmosphere, Lei Weidong was also very happy and said:

"I'll call the film company later. You can come over tomorrow and we can discuss the details."
Chapter completed!
