Chapter 19 Friendship Cameo
Chapter 19: Friendly Cameo
After Zhang Yi finished speaking, he left. By the time Fatty Wang came to his senses, he was already far away.
"Wait! I have something else to do!" Wang Jing shouted.
The box office of "Baby, Wisdom and Stars" is booming, so there is no problem with the sequel. The main purpose of Fatty's visit this time is not to tell Zhang Yi that the box office has exceeded 5 million, but to ask for the script for the sequel.
Seeing that Zhang Yi didn't want to stop, he shook his head, and then comforted himself: "You are not as knowledgeable as a little kid!"
The fat man left without pursuing him. In his opinion, the sequel script was not urgent at the moment, and he also knew that the guy was writing the script with Fatty Hong during this period. Even if he told him, he might not have time.
"Baby Smart Stars" has a wide audience, suitable for both young and old, and suitable for the whole family to watch at the same time. Therefore, as time goes by, not only does it not decrease, but it gradually increases. On average, the attendance rate is 9% every day.
Ten! This is a terrifying number. On the fourth day of the show, the box office on Christmas Day was nearly two million!
The box office in one week is more than 12 million! If the box office exceeds 20 million, it is no longer a problem, and no one doubts it. The whole of Hong Kong knows, but it is whether it can break the 2600 yuan of New Art City's "Best Partner"
A record of tens of thousands! Moreover, it is still very possible to break this record!
Because with the school holidays, the box office will definitely pick up.
Zhang Yi didn't pay too much attention, because in his opinion, the movie was not his at all. The script could be said to be copied. Although there were some changes, they were not major. And he did not make the movie, so there was no sense of achievement.
!
If he hadn't received a large sum of royalties for "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty" before, he might have been as excited as a fat man. Because he was going to publish it!
It's a pity that one book brought Zhang Yi nearly 2 million in income, and Ming Pao is already preparing to publish it in a volume. But the royalties are definitely not much more than "Baby Smart Stars"!
At Baohe Company, Hong Jinbao threw down the newspaper, shook his head and sighed, and said to Cen Jianxun with a wry smile: "Shaw Brothers is really proud this time. If it breaks the record of the New Art City movie, I don't know if it can reverse the current situation of Shaw Brothers
situation!"
Shun Jianxun shook his head and said: "Shaw Brothers can no longer turn around the situation with just one or two movies! What's more, in recent years, Shao Yifu has focused his energy on television. Even if "Baby" breaks the record of "The Best Partner", he
It’s impossible to put the experience back again!”
"Boss, there is a student named Zhang Yi coming to you and saying that he has an appointment with you!"
At this time, there was a knock on the door, and then someone outside was heard saying.
Upon hearing this, Hong Jinbao opened the door suddenly, and then asked eagerly: "Where is the person?"
"Downstairs!"
The staff member was a little surprised and confused, and said quickly. Even Cen Jianxun in the office was surprised.
Zhang Yi was in the hall downstairs. As soon as he sat down, he saw Hong Jinbao coming down in a hurry. Looking at Zhang Yi, he said excitedly: "Haha! Ah Yi, I miss you so much! Let's go, let's talk upstairs!"
Zhang Yi did not expect Hong Jinbao to be so enthusiastic, but then he understood it after thinking about it.
"Brother Sanmao, this is the script! I'm sorry, I'm a little busy at the moment, so I'm just sending it to you now!" Zhang Yi smiled, handed the script over and said.
"Haha! It's okay! It's okay! I haven't congratulated A Yi on the box office success of the movie! Twenty million is no longer a problem, I'm afraid it will break the record of the movie in Xinyi City and hit the three thousand mark!" Hong
Jin Bao took the script and said with a smile.
"San Mao, who is this?" Listening to the conversation between the two, Cen Jianxun finally understood that he and Hong Jinbao were so excited and anxious just now. The person who came was actually the screenwriter of "Baby Wisdom Stars". He was also shocked at this time.
I thought that the screenwriter of that movie was actually a young man wearing a middle school uniform.
"Haha! Jianxun, you can't think of it, this is Zhang Yi, the screenwriter of "Baby Smart Stars"! The story I told you last time came from him!" Hong Jinbao said with a smile, "Ayi, this
This is Cen Jianxun, who used to be the editor-in-chief of "Outside" magazine, and now he has been invited to come to Baohe!"
"Hello, Cen Sheng! Just call me Ah Yi!" Zhang Yi stretched out his hand and said. Zhang Yi knew that Cen Jianxun was Hong Gu's brother in Five Lucky Stars, but he was not a professional actor, but an excellent producer.
!
"Hello!" Cen Jianxun shook Zhang Yi's hand and said. The look of shock on his face has not dissipated. Although he had guessed it just now, he was still shocked after confirming it from Hong Jinbao's mouth.
"Brother Sanmao, in addition to sending you the script this time, I also want to ask you for a favor!" Zhang Yi said.
"Oh? What's the matter? As long as I, Sanmao, can do it, I will definitely help!" Upon hearing this, Hong Jinbao was stunned at first, and then he was delighted and said.
"Haha! Then thank you, Brother Sanmao!" Zhang Yi smiled and said, "Actually, it's nothing. I just wanted to wait for you to follow the crew and learn something while you were filming the movie!"
"What am I talking about? This is simple. As a screenwriter, there is nothing wrong with following the crew! As for what you want to learn, as long as you ask, it's absolutely fine!" Upon hearing this, Hong Jinbao said, "What do you want to learn?"
"Hehe!" Zhang Yi smiled and said, "I want to learn to make movies! I promised others that I would make a movie myself next year and invite her to watch it!"
"You want to make a movie?" Hong Jinbao looked at Zhang Yi with some surprise. The screenwriter would not regret making a movie, but the problem is that Zhang Yici is sixteen years old, and he will only be seventeen next year. A sixteen-year-old screenwriter would make
People are surprised, let alone a seventeen-year-old director.
"Haha! It's just for my own entertainment!" Zhang Yi said with a smile.
"Oh! Don't forget me then, I will show up in your movie!" Hong Jinbao said with a smile.
"Okay, but Brother Sanmao, I'm a poor man, and the budget for this movie is definitely not high. I'm afraid I can't afford someone like you! If you make a cameo, the pay shouldn't be high, right?" Zhang Yi quickly responded.
, but the taste changed later.
When Hong Jinbao and Cen Jianxun heard this, they were stunned for a moment, and then realized that this little guy was still an amateur.
"Friendly guest appearance, no pay!" Hong Jinbao said with a smile and said, "However, if you are a starring role or a supporting role with more roles, I will give you a very low friendship price!"
"Ah! It's better to have a friendly guest appearance! If the filming is good, it's okay. If the filming is not good, wouldn't it ruin Brother Sanmao's reputation?" Zhang Yi said.
He will be filming a movie next year. Although it has some elements of a game, he doesn't want to screw it up and has put in a lot of effort, otherwise he wouldn't ask to study with Hung Kam-bo's crew!
But no matter how hard he worked, he didn't have any information at this time to make the movie that he didn't know yet! Of course, there was another important reason. He didn't want to owe Hong Jinbao any favors. No matter whether Hong Jinbao was giving friendship
Whether he is a starring role or a supporting role, whether the movie is successful or not, he will still be in debt.
The hardest thing in this world to repay is a favor!
"From what A Yi said just now, it seems that he is planning to invest on his own?" Cen Jianxun suddenly asked.
"Haha! I think if I become a director, I'm afraid no boss will be willing to invest! Besides, this is a game for my own entertainment! The budget is not high, I can still afford the money!" Zhang Yi smiled and said
.
Zhang Yi doesn’t have too many expectations for the movie he wants to make. He doesn’t expect to make a big box office, and he doesn’t expect to win any bullshit awards! As for why he made it, maybe it just happened to be the right time, and he talked about it with Zhou Huimin.
.Or, it’s just for fun!
However, Zhang Yi feels that if you want to have fun, you have to have fun! Otherwise, wouldn’t it be a waste of time!
"Haha! If those bosses know that A Yi is the screenwriter of "Baby Smart Stars", many people will rush to invest!" Hong Jinbao said with a chuckle.
Zhang Yi smiled, naturally knowing that Hong Jinbao was just a compliment. People who can write scripts may not necessarily be able to make movies!
"Ayi, have you ever thought about making any movies? If you don't mind, you can let us give you the details!" Cen Jianxun said.
"I've thought about this for a long time! It's my first time directing. There are too many shortcomings and limited abilities! The scene needs to be small and the characters need to be few! So to make a good film, the only way is to work hard on the plot and dialogue!" Zhang Yi said.
"Oh? This requires a lot of scripts! However, this is not a problem for A Yi!" Hong Jinbao said immediately.
"Ayi, do you have any specific ideas?" Cen Jianxun asked.
When Zhang Yi heard this, a small-budget movie "Crazy Stone" suddenly flashed into his mind, but he immediately rejected it. Because although this movie is a small-budget movie, it requires a lot of skills from the director. Zhang Yi
I don’t think I have that ability yet, and I don’t think this ability can be achieved quickly or overnight!
