Made by Male God [Rebirth]

After the meeting of the board of directors, Xie Yi and Qin Yang started looking for the financial department to make a budget. Ji Xinghui didn't stipulate how much budget they must be within, but he was clear about his own affairs. Xinghai did make money because of the relatively correct investment direction. A lot of money, but the real working capital is not a lot, anyway, not enough to support a large movie.

Gu Yuebai's first reaction after knowing it was: "Why didn't you shoot it?"

"Huh?" Ji Xinghui looked at him inexplicably.

Gu Yuebai patted him on the shoulder and said, "Although I haven't read the script, I think the protagonist is obviously more suitable for you, right?"

Ji Xinghui waved his hand and said: "Although I have been in Director Meng's play, I still want to reduce my work in film and television in the future. To be honest, it is basically impossible for one person to take care of both. The result may be that both sides are not developing well, I told Mu Dongye about this. After careful analysis, I still think I am more suitable for composing lyrics and music."

Gu Yuebai looked at him in surprise: "Are you going behind the scenes?"

Ji Xing nodded back. What he didn't say was that he was doing this to pave the way for the future. If he and Mu Dongye put their focus on the stage, if things about the two of them broke out one day, the estimated impact on them would be estimated. will be big.But if Ji Xinghui is hidden behind the scenes and can be affirmed in composing music - he doesn't believe that singing depends on the person's aptitude for the composition!

Gu Yuebai looked at Ji Xinghui with a thoughtful look: "Did Dongye know that you made this decision?"

Ji Xinghui said calmly: "I mentioned it to him, but this is my own business, I can make my own decision."

Gu Yuebai said sharply: "You are paving the way for the future of the two of you, it's not your business at all."

Ji Xinghui wasn't surprised that Gu Yuebai knew about him and Mu Dongye, he didn't say it explicitly, but he understood it. He smiled and didn't say anything. In the eyes of others, it might be his sacrifice. Big, after all he has been filming since his debut, so the album takes up less time.

It's just that Ji Xinghui has been shifting his focus all the time. If it weren't for "Military Career" which is difficult to refuse, and Director Meng's play is rare, he would hardly take on new plays.

Ji Xinghui insisted not to act anymore, although Gu Yuebai felt a little regretful, but still happily invested.After Zhang Qindie knew that the movie had an investor, she asked, "What about the rest?"

Ji Xinghui looked at her blankly: "Huh?"

"You didn't just find one investor, did you?"

Ji Xing nodded back and asked inexplicably, "Isn't it possible?"

Zhang Qindie was completely convinced: "There are only one investor's movies, and there are only a handful of them in the past and present. Director Ji, should the company release the rest?"

Ji Xinghui said bluntly: "The company is also researching investment direction recently, isn't this just right?"

From the beginning, his entertainment company was not just a place to simply cultivate artists, but more like a film and television production company, but they had a shallow foundation at the beginning, so they could only take their time.

Zhang Qindie didn't know much about investment, so he didn't say much, but... It seemed that it was not good for only one investor to speak out. In the end, he decided to look at the budget given by Xie Yi and the others.

Xie Yi and Qin Yang have been actively tossing about this matter, and the result came out not too late, and the final figures also surprised Ji Xinghui.

He estimated in his heart that it would cost about 1000 million. At the beginning, "Military Career" was mainly a small-budget movie, and in the end it exceeded the budget and spent more than 1000 million. Of course, the scale of the scene of "Military Career" is much larger than that of Qin Yang. , Ji Xinghui cut some and finally came up with an investment of about 1000 million.

He said the same thing when he told Gu Yuebai, but when Xie Yi took out the budget, he was still surprised. He knew that this drama was a low-budget movie, but he didn't expect Xiao Cheng to be like this. The budget he gave It is half less than what I imagined, and a total of 500 million is needed!

After seeing the numbers, Ji Xinghui's first reaction before reading the content was: "Are you sure you didn't make a mistake?"

Xie Yi nodded hastily: "That's right, we should calculate the budget as much as possible. At the beginning, we estimated that 300 million yuan would be enough according to our algorithm."

Ji Xinghui was speechless for a while and took a look at their budget form. Later, he also knew where the budget was missing. The most important thing was the shooting location, but the main shooting location of this movie is two places, One is the home of the hero, and the other is the stage where he performs.

Qin Yang went directly to Ji Xinghui's side and pointed to the above entry, saying: "His house is easier to photograph, just rent it. Of course, it would be even better if you are willing to lend us your house, that is the small apartment." and that villa."

Ji Xing nodded back, the need for two houses is mainly because the male protagonist lived in a villa when he was not injured and high-spirited. Later, he was injured, his future was damaged, and his life gradually became tight, so he moved to a small apartment.Ji Xing thought back and thought that his two houses were empty and empty, and they were also good for filming.

The main reason why Qin Yang didn't see him so much was that Ji Xinghui happened to have an upright piano in his small apartment, and he could save money on renting the piano by the way.

After listening to it, Ji Xing couldn't help laughing and said, "Even my piano is included, you two are really careful and careful."

Qin Yang spread his hands: "Hey, don't tell me, if I didn't know how precious you are, I would have borrowed this grand piano. Isn't this... ahem, reducing the budget."

As soon as the grand piano was mentioned, Ji Xinghui couldn't help but think of the piano room, and then...his ears turned red instantly, and he could only cough lightly and calmly asked, "What about the stage?"

"The stage can be decorated at the city stadium. Although different stages are involved, as long as the layout is changed, basically one venue can do the job. The rest are some public places, such as shopping malls and places on the road. Like, this may not be very easy to do, but it is not difficult, the only problem is the clearing problem, oh, and the seaside location, this... is not difficult, right?"

Ji Xing glanced back and found that the scene investment is really very small. From the beginning of his acting in TV dramas and movies to the present, this budget in his hands is probably the smallest scene budget among all the films.

Qin Yang and Xie Yi had reduced the budget of the scene to this point, and he had nothing to disagree with, it was really beyond his expectation.

After the two people got a positive answer and left happily, Ji Xinghui suddenly remembered that he hadn't told Gu Yuebai yet, so he had no choice but to pick up his mobile phone and call him.

Recently, Gu Yuebai has been doing well in the industry, and it is hard to find generous investors. Of course, he has lost money, but to be honest, he doesn't pay much attention to the money. For this reason, Gu Yuebai Bai even set up a special investment company.

When Ji Xing called back to talk about it, Gu Yuebai was silent for a while before saying, "I said...do you need to be so wronged?"

Knowing that he was talking about a relatively small budget, Ji Xinghui immediately twitched the corner of his mouth and said, "I'm sorry, this is the maximum limit they estimated, that is to say... at most 500 million, less... I also agree. I don’t know how much less it can be.”

Gu Yuebai had no choice but to say: "I can handle this little money by myself."

Ji Xinghui said decisively: "No, you only need to pay half of it."

Just kidding, this film will definitely make money. How stupid is he to not invest even though he knows it will make money?

In the end, Gu Yuebai had no choice but to say: "Half is half, if you don't have enough money, remember to tell me."

Ji Xing was really a little dumbfounded when he heard back. He only knew that it was not easy to get sponsors before, and it was not easy to get investors to invest. How could it be the other way around when it comes to Gu Yuebai?

However, the scale of the investment is indeed very small. After Mu Dongye found out, he said, "That movie by Director Meng is twenty times the size of this one, right?"

Ji Xing patted his face and said: "Wake up, the box office of this film is definitely not comparable to that of that one. It will be good if we can guarantee the filming rate by then. As for the schedule... I guess it will not be very good."

Mu Dongye leaned over and kissed Ji Xinghui and said, "It's okay, Xie Yi is making an orthodox film for the first time, so don't put too much pressure on him."

What Mu Dongye didn't know was that Xie Yi wasn't under a lot of pressure. It was impossible to say that there was no pressure at all. However, after the proposal was passed, he was even more excited. After many years, he could finally direct a movie by himself. It seemed to Yi that the script was good, and he had even estimated with Qin Yang in private that, in terms of this budget, their movie should not lose money.

This time, Ji Xinghui didn't follow up the whole process. He let Xie Yi and the others do the work. Anyway, the funds are in place. As for the auditions for supporting roles and so on, let them go.

It's just that what he didn't expect was that Xie Yi actually wanted Tang Yu to play a cameo.In all movies, almost every hero will have a control group.When the male protagonist is in high spirits, that role may have a hard time, but when it is the male protagonist's turn to be frustrated, the supporting role may go straight to the sky, and Tang Yu is going to play such a role.

In fact, this role does not have many scenes, and it is not a villain itself. It is just a role that can inspire the male protagonist. When the male protagonist succeeds, he has been working hard on his own in obscurity. I coached him, but also said that he is not suitable for singing.

Later, when the male protagonist lost his sight, this person began to emerge, and gradually became known by virtue of his special skills, and when the male protagonist gave up on himself, he would come to comfort and encourage the male protagonist.

Although I have said so much, strictly speaking, there are two or three scenes in total. Qin Yang originally said that Ji Xing would come back to make a guest appearance, but Xie Yi directly sprayed it back. In Xie Yi's opinion, what is wrong with his idol? Can you play such a small role as a cameo?Can't drop the price?

Qin Yang looked at Xie Yi speechlessly after being sprayed with dog blood, and really felt a toothache. When the two of them discussed before, they were full of confidence in their own movie, but when it came to letting Ji Xing return as a cameo, they immediately Talking about falling prices, Qin Yang deeply felt that Ji Xinghui was no longer just Xie Yi's idol, this Nima is his male god, right?

When Xie Yi and Qin Yang were discussing the script, Ji Xinghui was standing at the door of his house, staring dumbfounded at the scene of a typhoon passing through the house. If the key in his hand did not open the door, he would have doubted that he would leave. wrong!

Mu Dongye smiled wryly after seeing Ji Xing's return: "Are you back?"

Ji Xing went back in and looked around, and found that all the fragile ones in their house that were not placed too high were basically beyond recognition.

"Our house has been stolen?" Ji Xinghui only thought of such a possibility, but even if he was a thief...you can't take it away, can't you smash it?

Mu Dongye coughed lightly, a blush appeared on his paralyzed face: "Then what... it was Caramel's carelessness."

"Caramel?" Ji Xing stared back. He knew that both Samoyed and Husky were called demolition offices, but Caramel was a bit mischievous from the beginning, but he was also very honest. He always thought it was pretty good. Could it be possible? Caramel is rebellious?Want to return to the brigade of the demolition office?

Mu Dongye was helpless: "Today I was reading a script at home, closed my eyes and felt the life of a blind person. I wonder if caramel is because I watched too much TV. As soon as I closed my eyes, I would drag my trousers away. At first I I said it, but it didn't listen, and then I just ignored it, and it turned out...maybe I was too into the drama, Caramel directly regarded himself as a guide dog, and that's it... "

Ji Xing lost his temper after listening to it. He stared into Mu Dongye's eyes and said, "You dare to use a Samoyed as a guide dog. I really admire you."

Mu Dongye was also wronged: "I didn't use it as a guide dog, I just ignored it."

Ji Xinghui looked at Mu Dongye squatting on the ground to collect the vase fragments, and couldn't help feeling a headache: "Okay, okay, don't collect it, let the hourly worker come, where is the caramel?"

"I shut it up in its own room to stand for punishment."

Punishment?Ji Xing ran upstairs with a question mark in his head, and saw Caramel's new shape - facing the wall, sitting with his front paws propped on the wall, he was still pretending when he saw Ji Xing came back Standing up, a pitiful look forced to stand on two legs.

The corner of Ji Xing's mouth twitched back, and his forehead retreated. He couldn't handle caramel.Mu Dongye also came over to take a look, and then lightly said to Caramel: "For a week, there is no corn bread."

The so-called Wotou is naturally the homemade dog food made by weighing Caramel’s nutrient intake in the late winter night. When Caramel heard this sentence, she burst into tears and yelled several times seeing that the owner didn’t know what to do. After taking care of it, I silently squatted in the corner and went sad.

Ji Xing glanced up and down, and found that the caramel was still measured, so he would harm the living room, so he didn't say anything - as long as the caramel didn't bite the sofa, he would be very happy.

Although Ji Xinghui refused to let Mu Dongye clean up, Mu Dongye still cleaned up everything, and then leaned in front of Ji Xinghui and said, "Actually, I think it would be nice to have a guide dog in this movie. Don’t they say that guide dogs are not allowed on subways, buses, etc., do you want to add this plot?”

It can better reflect the difficulty of life after the male lead's blindness, well, Mu Dongye didn't say this sentence but he thought Ji Xinghui should understand.

It was only now that Ji Xing knew why Mu Dongye used Caramel as a guide dog like a convulsion, but think about it... If you add this plot, it can be regarded as a small interlude of a public service promotional video?

"Tell Qin Yang and the others later." Ji Xinghui has almost forgotten the plot of this movie in his previous life. I really don't know if there is an element of guide dogs, but it would be better to add it if possible.

When the movie was in full swing, Meng Zhongze actually came over.Ji Xinghui and Mu Dongye were really flattered. Many people hoped to visit Director Meng, but they turned around and Meng Zhongze came to look for them.

After Meng Zhongze entered the door, he said without hesitation, "You two don't have to be busy, I'll come over to see the caramel."

Ji Xinghui: ...he knew it!

But even if it was because of the caramel, Meng Zhongze's visit made the two of them very happy. After the tea and snacks were served, Ji Xinghui saw that Caramel was acting like a baby with Meng Zhongze, rubbing against him non-stop. He couldn't bear to look away Looking at Mu Dongye, he said, "Go get that hair remover."

When Director Meng is about to leave, it is estimated that two or three catties of dog hair can be shaved off his body. Ji Xinghui and Mu Dongye definitely can't let Meng Zhongze go away with a whole body of dog hair, so they can only find something to get him off .

Meng Zhongze didn't care, he liked it even more when he saw that the caramel was getting fatter than when he was filming the movie.

"I heard you guys are going to make a movie?" Meng Zhongze asked while teasing Caramel.

Ji Xinghui nodded honestly and asked, "Is there... something wrong?"

Meng Zhongze was stunned for a moment and then waved his hands: "Hey, I told you to relax a bit. I just came to see the caramel and chat with you. Don't think too much."

Ji Xing understood in seconds. Watching Caramel play with Caramel is the most important thing, and chatting with them is secondary. If it can be estimated that Director Meng Da is too lazy to chat with them, he will be happier if he can keep playing with Caramel.

Thinking of this, Ji Xinghui said decisively: "The afternoon sun is just right, so why not go to the backyard for afternoon tea. Ah Ye recently baked new cookies, which are very good."

Caramel’s eyes lit up when it heard the word cookie. Its IQ may not be enough to understand complicated words, but it does not prevent it from remembering its favorite things. Cookies are one of its favorite foods .

Meng Zhongze immediately agreed when he saw the caramel, and the three of them and one dog moved directly.After arriving in the back garden, Meng Zhongze found that the two of them were doing a good job in the back garden, so he couldn't help but sigh, "You two really enjoy it."

Ji Xinghui said decisively: "This garden is for Caramel, he likes grass, but the two of us don't have so much time to play with it, so we simply made the back garden look better so that it can play in the garden .”

Of course, if this guy dares to gnaw the grass and flowers on the lawn, it must be his family's law. Ji Xinghui didn't say this, and Caramel would not sue, so Meng Zhongze defaulted that the back garden was Ji Xinghui and Late winter nights are specially designed for caramel.

Director Meng was very satisfied, and when he was satisfied, he increased the workload of Ji Xinghui: "Do you have time recently? I heard that the movie you are going to make requires a lot of music?"

Ji Xinghui said quickly: "I have time, I've almost finished writing the music for that movie, and the rest is about arranging the music, which I'll leave to other people to do."

This is the second time Meng Zhongze mentioned their movie. Ji Xinghui felt a little strange. Meng Zhongze doesn't seem like someone who cares about this kind of small movie. If his focus is not on this movie, then it has something to do with the music. .

Sure enough, Director Meng looked at Ji Xinghui kindly and said, "Xiao Ji, let's write two more episodes later. The episodes of "Grassland Heroes" are not enough."

Ji Xinghui was stunned for a moment, "Prairie Heroes" was obviously the title of that movie, Ji Xinghui asked a little strangely: "Why not enough? I also wrote two more songs for the crew to choose."

Because he knew how picky Meng Zhongze was, Ji Xing really put in a lot of effort when writing these songs. He wrote three versions of the theme song alone.

"Those songs are all used, and two episodes are needed, which are battle songs."

Ji Xing thought about it and asked, "I wasn't in charge of the battle song before, but now...is it going to be handed over to me?"

Meng Zhongze nodded: "Well, I'm not very satisfied with the battle songs they submitted. They didn't reflect the excitement and tension of fighting at all. It didn't match that clip, so I want to come to you, but the time may be a bit tight. If you don't Time counts."

Have time!Of course there is time!Ji Xinghui resolutely agreed. Meng Zhongze didn't trust him at the beginning, so he didn't give him all the songs of the whole movie, just the opening and ending songs, but even this was enough for him to be excited. up.

Now I have to hand over the battle-related songs to him, even if I want to play the songs of my own movies, I have to write them to Director Meng first.How difficult it is to get Meng Zhongze's affirmation.

Meng Zhongze originally thought that Ji Xing would not refuse. Seeing that Ji Xing answered happily and said his request, he was happy and told the truth: "You have a better future in writing songs than in acting in movies. "

Ji Xinghui: ...
