Chapter 29: Drinking will lead to big mistakes!
In the middle of the night, Chen Xiaoyong woke up in a chair in the office area and saw the light of a lone lamp hanging in the office area.
Under the light, Han Zhou sat in a daze.
When Chen Xiaoyong walked over, he saw Han Zhou staring closely at various photographic equipment.
The most eye-catching ones are the Leica professional -grade camera and image stabilization frame.
One set is wearable and the other set is slide rail type.
There is even a rocker arm here.
Chen Xiaoyong pinched his forehead and said, "Brother Han, shall we go and rent the camera back?"
"The project hasn't been approved yet. Isn't this a big loss? Let's return it quickly."
Five seconds after Chen Xiaoyong finished speaking.
After five seconds of silence, Han Zhou looked at the professional photography equipment in front of him and said, "I bought it..."
Professional-grade cameras are expensive, so most film and television companies rent them instead of buying them.
Generally speaking, only the top film and television companies will buy this kind of thing.
What is even more troublesome is that not only did they buy a camera worth more than 500,000 yuan, but they also bought an anti-shake gimbal that is even more expensive than the camera.
Even the rocker arm is purchased!
Han Zhou sobered up and looked at his phone, where he saw the deduction information. He then put it aside and thought about how he had spent the money.
I thought of it quickly and bought this set.
Originally, there was two million as start-up capital for the new project.
But I didn't know that after getting drunk with Chen Xiaoyong, I went to buy this set of things before I blacked out.
What a sin!
Now, I have 36,000 yuan left as the start-up capital for making the movie...
Chen Xiaoyong admired: "Brother Han is worthy of being Brother Han, he just bought a camera!"
After saying that, he raised the camera and couldn't let it go: "This kind of courage is rare in the industry!"
"Brother Han, have you made plans for the company's future? How many years will it take for us to become one of the top ten film and television companies in the country?"
"Top ten?" Han Zhou took a deep breath.
Chen Xiaoyong was shocked. Wasn’t he satisfied with being in the top ten?
Brother Han’s ambition is simply amazing!
Is this the hero?
No wonder my big brother asked me to follow Brother Han!
You are worthy of being my Brother Han. Although you are only 22 and I am 26, I have recognized you as my brother!
"Brother Han, I understand you!"
Han Zhou turned to look at Chen Xiaoyong: You know nothing. I'm wondering how much money I can get back if I return this stuff.
If you open the camera, you will break your bones...
Chen Xiaoyong was excited: "Brother Han, I really understand you!"
"I have met many ambitious people, but none of them dared to show their ambitions on their faces like Brother Han!"
"I used to hear from my brother that you, Brother Han, are gifted and talented, but I didn't have a concrete understanding of you. Today I finally got to see it!"
"Brother Han, do you want to strive to be in the top five in three years and the top three in five years?"
Han Zhou: “???”
Chen Xiaoyong was shaking with excitement: "You are still not satisfied with this... Could it be!"
"Could it be...Brother Han, your goal is to go global?"
"My purpose is..." Han Zhou was about to say, but turned around and said, "Forget it, I have to write the script. Please check the equipment and put it away if there is no problem."
"Before our project starts, you must stay with it at all times!"
Chen Xiaoyong: "I'll hug you even when we go to the toilet! And I can exercise my arm strength at the same time!"
"Big... no need..." Han Zhou was speechless.
However, Han Zhou felt quite comfortable communicating with Chen Xiaoyong.
If you were a serious person, you would definitely wonder why you suddenly remembered to write a script halfway through looking at the equipment.
But Chen Xiaoyong didn't care about this and didn't ask any more questions.
Han Zhou’s logic at this time was this.
I have no money now, and when the project starts, the most I will have is the copyright fees for An Lan’s next two songs in the finals.
After paying taxes on the copyright fees, I estimate that I will receive more than one million yuan.
To make a movie, you need not just one camera, but many, so you have to borrow cameras, which costs money.
It costs money to hire actors and to set up the venue.
All kinds of places to spend money.
So, now I have to make a movie that doesn't require much investment.
Soon, Han Zhou thought of "Crazy Stone".
But the next moment, Han Zhou shook his head and denied it.
Crazy Stone, if you consider the current prices and invite some extras, it would cost at least 8 million to make it.
What's more, he doesn't have any connections in the film and television industry, so he can't invite good actors. He can only increase the pay to attract them, which costs more money.
What’s more important is that shooting Crazy Stone requires more than one camera, a prop truck, and even multiple scene layouts, including villas and top-level offices.
“Are there any single-camera movies?”
Soon, Han Zhou thought of many single-camera movies.
The memories in Han Zhou's mind can be retrieved immediately as long as he thinks about them.
If you think about it this way, there are quite a lot of single-camera movies.
Moreover, all the ones Han Zhou has seen are masterpieces that have both box office success and good reputation!
"No, I don't want any with special effects."
"If you need a big scene, don't..."
"There are many complicated scenes, don't..."
After screening one by one, Han Zhou felt like slapping himself.
With two million in hand, plus the fee that An Lan would pay him soon for the final, it would be easy for him to make a serious low-budget movie.
But now I see that I cannot enter the treasure mountain.
After thinking for a long time, Han Zhou determined two goals.
"Buried Alive".
This Man is from Earth.
The story of Buried Alive was mostly performed by the male protagonist alone, and it is called a one-man show within a one-man show.
If I were to make this movie, I wouldn't even have to hire any actors, I could just be the lead actor.
But there is also a question: "Do I have box office appeal?"
Han Zhou just had schizophrenia, not mental retardation, and he got the answer immediately: no.
Han Zhou looked at another movie on the paper, "This Man From Earth".
If this movie is made, the script will have to be changed.
This movie can be said to have created a new category of science fiction movies.
There are almost no high-scoring science fiction movies without any special effects, and this one is arguably the only one.
Through the meticulous script design, the actors were able to complete all the plots in a small room, chatting around the fire at night.
The entire logic can almost be said to be impeccable.
It also made many science fiction fans very excited.
However, there is a problem with this movie. That is, the person who filmed it, who is a famous director himself, did not release it in theaters.
Instead, it chose to release it in the form of a Blu-ray CD.
However, it also set a record for CD sales of movies that were not released in theaters, with global sales of up to 350 million US dollars!
Because it only costs 20,000 US dollars.
That means the cost was 130,000 and the box office was 2.3 billion!
Sadly, the era of Blu-ray CDs is over.
Han Zhou pinched his chin.
Blu-ray CDs are not available, but with the explosion of online movies in the past two years, perhaps this movie can be put on video websites and sold as a webcast.
It seems... feasible.
Although the final box office will definitely be far from that of the previous life.
But it can allow Han Zhou to earn his first pot of gold to promote the next project!
"What a fool."
Originally, selling songs was the first pot of gold, and although it was a little tight to use it to make movies, it was still feasible.
Now I have to earn my first pot of gold again...
However, this script needs to be greatly changed.
The original white protagonist was born 13,000 years before the French version of Chicken Nougat, which is normal.
It can't be that the Chinese protagonist in Han Zhou's version was also born in France, right?
So, it should be changed to... Hemudu? Mountain ruins?
So, the original protagonist is Jesus, who should be the protagonist in this one?
How to play with name jokes?
After thinking about each question one by one, Han Zhou discovered that most of the plot or plot structure and dialogue did not need to be changed, what needed to be changed was the setting.
This is actually quite simple, just check the information.
…
No one expected that the investigation would take three days.
In three days, Han Zhou had completed most of the changes in settings, but there were still a few things he couldn't figure out.
Chen Xiaoyong didn't expect that after he came to Han Zhou for help, he would end up not having to do anything and just sitting there in a daze watching Han Zhou for three whole days!
But Chen Xiaoyong's task was to guard the equipment and his gun, so Chen Xiaoyong could only watch.
"My brother has been talking a lot about Han Ge, but watching the show 'Tomorrow's Superstar', everyone says that Han Ge is a mental patient, or at worst schizophrenic..."
"Now it seems that this is not groundless?!"
What serious person can sit there for three days and do nothing?
Even Bodhidharma can't be as awesome as Han Ge's 'meditation', right?
What Chen Xiaoyong didn't expect was that something even more amazing was yet to come.
This time, Han Zhou stayed there for three days, three days, and three days again.
It’s time for the semi-finals of “Tomorrow’s Superstar” to be broadcast!
Chen Xiaoyong has been numb after nine days.
I feel terrible.
Chen Xiaoyong suspected that Han Zhou could just sit there in a daze for a year, or even ten years!
By then, will the lamp imprint Han Zhou's shadow on the ground, becoming a modern Bodhidharma Cave?
Watching the "Superstar of Tomorrow" show on the phone start.
Chen Xiaoyong pretended to be brave and stepped forward: "Brother Han, Brother Han?!"
Han Zhou looked back blankly: "Hmm? Have you eaten yet?"
Chen Xiaoyong was too tired to complain. It had only been an hour since he finished his meal, and he was eating again?
"No, Brother Han, the semi-finals of Tomorrow's Superstar are about to begin, don't you want to watch it?"
"The semi-finals are about to be broadcast?" Han Zhou was stunned for a moment: "Doesn't that mean I have to go to Mailang to write a song for An Lan tomorrow?"
Chen Xiaoyong laughed awkwardly: "Would you like to watch the live broadcast of the semi-finals?"
Han Zhou was stunned for a moment: "Just watch."
The semi-finals have begun airing.
Chen Xiaoyong looked at the screen and said, "Brother Han, you debuted in a talent show, so does this guy count as your teacher?"
"Not really..." An idea flashed through Han Zhou's mind: "Wait a minute, what did you say?!"
"I say this Korean... ahem, is this Korean singer considered your teacher, Brother Han?"
"Teacher?! Yes, it's teacher! I understand!" Han Zhou laughed!
"Yes, yes, that's fine!"
"Why must another immortal meet the protagonist in modern times?"
"It's entirely possible that they encountered it during the Spring and Autumn Period!"
"This way, we have a gimmick and the story goes smoothly!"
Han Zhou opened his laptop.
At this time, the laptop, which had not been plugged in for many days, was out of power.
Han Zhou lay down again and struggled to plug the adapter into the power strip on the ground, then turned on the computer and started writing the script.
Chen Xiaoyong looked at the name of the script: "Is this man from Earth?"
"Where is Earth?"
Han Zhou was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously wanted to change it to Earth, but after a pause he smiled and said, "It's the Earth."
A science fiction movie, this is what science fiction is.
Although the content is still about an alien, I use this name to trick people into watching it. I'm so smart!
The audience is not at a loss either. Although they didn’t see that the protagonist is from Earth, the actor who plays the protagonist is from Earth!
Han Zhou felt totally unperturbed by this wave of deception and felt completely justified!
Chen Xiaoyong watched Han Zhou typing frantically on the keyboard. The script kept moving forward. He was dumbfounded after reading only a small part of the script.
"Can it be written like this?" Chen Xiaoyong felt that his graduate studies were in vain.
At this time, the host of "Tomorrow's Superstar" was playing on the phone, and he said with great emotion: "Next, it will be contestant Han Zhou, who will sing his semi-final song, "Existence"!"
Chen Xiaoyong moved his eyes to the mobile phone again.
