Screenwriting student breaks into acting department

Chapter 743 Investing in Movies
Hearing the director say "click", Ye Ziye returned to his RV and continued to read the script.

The next scene is Fang Duo'er and Chen Qinqin's. Ye Ziye's and the others' scenes can't be filmed until evening.

But none of the actors left, basically staying in their RV.

Huang Heng and Sun Lei got into Ye Ziye's RV, and looked at their phone after seeing Ye Ziye.

Huang Heng: "Midnight, what are you looking at, so fascinated?"

Ye Ziye: "Script."

Huang Heng asked what script it was, and he knew it must be a good script after watching Ye Ziye read it so seriously.

"A sci-fi movie."

Huang Heng: "Science fiction, is it our Chinese science fiction movie, or a foreign director asked you to make it."

Huang Heng knew that many foreign directors wanted Ye Ziye to play a guest role or cooperate with them, but since Ye Ziye's debut.

Ye Ziye's co-workers are all Chinese directors, but there are quite a few foreign Hollywood star friends.

Ye Ziye replied that it was our Chinese science fiction movie.

After reading it.

Just as Ye Ziye was about to speak, Mo Ran walked out.

"Midnight, Teacher Wei Liuyun is here."

Ye Ziye nodded.

When Wei Liuyun came up, he saw Huang Heng and Sun Lei.

"Mr. Huang, Mr. Sun, hello."

"Wei Liuyun, long time no see, why are you here?"

Wei Liuyun smiled wryly and said, "Isn't this to attract investment? I came here to find Ziye."

After Wei Liuyun sat down, Huang Heng and Sun Lei knew that they were going to talk about work, so they left the RV.

Ye Ziye looked at Wei Liuyun.

"Brother Yun, we're already acquaintances, so if I have something to say, I'll just say it.

I can invest in you, but I have two conditions.

The first is that I need to know all the actors involved in this movie, and I have the right to veto.

The second is that I want two actors to be included in this movie. Of course, you can choose to veto the two actors I recommend.

You don't have to worry about anything, even if you veto it, I will still invest, after all, the first thing I read is the script. "

Wei Liuyun nodded, expressing his agreement.

In fact, he has nothing to do now. The money invested in this movie is all his money, but it is not enough.

Wei Liuyun wants to prove that Huaxia can also produce very good science fiction movies.

Seeing that Wei Liuyun agreed, Ye Ziye recommended two actors, one was Zhou Yuntong, and the other was Ye Ziye's college classmate, Li Lanfei.

In the past few years, although Li Lanfei has been filming TV dramas or appearing in variety shows, she is only dangling in the upper reaches of the second line.

Ye Ziye wanted to give Li Lanfei a hand.

After Wei Liuyun heard the two people recommended by Ye Ziye, he laughed.

The laughing Ye Ziye was a little dazed, not knowing what Wei Liuyun was laughing at.

Wei Liuyun said: "To tell you the truth, Ziye, the two people you recommended were originally on my invitation list of actors, so let's talk about the investment now."

Ye Ziye nodded, and asked Wei Liuyun how much the movie cost in total.

Wei Liuyun told Ye Ziye that a total of nearly [-] million is needed.

Now only [-] million is paid by Wei Liuyun himself.

Ye Ziye asked Wei Liuyun if he had looked for anyone else.

Wei Liuyun smiled wryly.

He told Ye Ziye that he had looked for it, but there was almost no agreement. Those investors were not optimistic about sci-fi movies, and they thought they would lose money.

Ye Ziye rubbed her chin and pondered for a moment.

"Well, I'm investing [-] million yuan. How about I get you an investment? If you let me take out [-] million yuan at once, I have to think about it."

Wei Liuyun nodded.

Then Ye Ziye called Li Bai and explained the matter.

Li Bai asked Ye Ziye and Wei Liuyun to go directly to talk.

Ye Ziye got up and called Mo Ran, Chu Man and Wei Liuyun and drove to Li Bai's office in Taibai Hotel.

Li Bai stood up and shook hands with Wei Liuyun, then asked Ye Ziye what was going on.

Ye Ziye just said it.

Li Bai thought about it.

"There is no problem with the investment, but I want Taibai Hotel to appear in the movie, so there is no problem with that, just one shot will do."

Wei Liuyun nodded, and then asked Li Bai if he didn't read the script.

Li Bai laughed, and pointed at Ye Ziye.

"Mr. Wei Liuyun, I will definitely believe in the movies that Midnight invests in.

Because the script that this guy is willing to invest in must be a good script, otherwise Zi Ye would not invest.

I know how harsh Ziye is on the script. "

Wei Liuyun took out the contract from his backpack.

The contract in the backpack was newly prepared by Wei Liuyun.

It's just that there is only one copy, but this is very simple, just print one copy.

Ye Ziye gave the script to Chu Man and Mo Ran behind him.

Chu Man and Mo Ran nodded after reading it once.

Ye Ziye sees Wei Liuyun looking at him strangely.

Ye Ziye: "Don't get me wrong, I'm not very interested in the contract, so the two of them always read it."

Ye Ziye signed his name on it.

Li Bai read it from beginning to end, and then signed his name.

Li Bai asked Wei Liuyun when the filming would start.

Wei Liuyun saw that Ye Ziye was also looking at him, so he said that the filming would start next year, and this year he had to prepare and find actors.

Ye Ziye and Li Bai nodded.

After Wei Liuyun got the investment, he said goodbye to the two of them and left.

Li Bai looked at Ye Ziye, and glanced at Chu Man and Mo Ran.

Ye Ziye: "Mo Ran, Chu Man are all my own people, I trust them, if you have anything to say, just say it."

Li Bai nodded.

"Ziye, you also know that China's sci-fi movies are not very popular now. You have thought about what to do if you lose money."

Ye Ziye smiled and said: "If you lose, you will lose, but I think this script is very good. If the actors in it are all right, the box office results should be very good. I am still confident."

Li Bai smiled and said, "You said that. I don't want to lose money when I invest in a movie for the first time. If others find out about it, I will laugh to death."

Ye Ziye nodded.

"Then I'm leaving first, I have to go back to the set."

Li Bai nodded.

After Ye Ziye, Chu Man and Mo Ran left the Taibai Hotel, they drove towards the crew.

Mo Ran: "Midnight, are you really not afraid of losing money? After all, [-] million is not a small sum."

Ye Ziye shook his head.

"This is definitely a very good movie. As for the actors, I believe in Wei Liuyun."

After driving back to the set, Huang Heng asked Ye Ziye how much he invested.

Ye Ziye stretched out two fingers.

Huang Heng: "2000 million?"

Ye Ziye: "Two hundred million."

Huang Yi and Wang Hongdi were a little surprised when they heard Ye Ziye say to invest [-] million yuan.

Wang Hongdi asked Ye Ziye if he invested so much, isn't he afraid of losing money?

Ye Ziye shook his head and told Wang Hongdi that he was confident.
