After dinner at noon, Mai Xiaoyu chatted with Xiaoxing Xiaoxing and Xiaoquan Zhang about the script for more than two hours.

Fortunately, the investment cost of "Love Call Transfer 2" is still not high, more than ten million is enough; "Inception" is different, even if the actors, directors, screenwriters, and other staff are paid much less than the one in the dream. , But the shooting and production costs and post-production costs will not be low.

Especially the special effects shots in post-production, absolutely, yes, no, can, save, and money!

Otherwise, what sci-fi blockbuster is still called?

"Inception" is not a soft sci-fi like "This Man Comes From Earth". Post-production is very expensive and must be burned!

Money is only one aspect, people are the other.

With the current level of wheat leaf special effects, it is certainly not up to the level that Mai Xiaoyu wants.

The world’s top or first-class special effects companies such as Industrial Light & Magic, Digital Field, Sony Graphics Image, New Zealand’s Weta Digital, UK’s Double Negative, and Mobile Image are the best choice, but the price is too expensive.

Even if Mai Xiaoyu gave the production cost budget of "Inception" is 1.2 to 1.5 billion Chinese yuan, it is not enough. Burn all the money, and I can't afford these special effects production companies.

"Boss, although I haven't read the script yet, judging from your description and the level of money burn in science fiction movies, special effects production is a flaw. Too little money, can't support the big scenes of science fiction movies, too much money... risk Too big."

Xiaoxing Xi made a pertinent opinion.

"From those companies, hire professional talents in related fields at high prices, and then find a special effects company from India to cooperate with Maiye special effects."

"India?" Zhang Xiaoquan thought for a while and nodded: "This is a good idea. India's software industry is also the largest film digital special effects and animation outsourcing base in Hollywood. It has accumulated very rich experience and technology, and the cost is relatively low in all aspects. Low domestically."

"Lao Xi, I will give you the script when I look back, and you will gather the screenwriters in your hands for revision."

"You mean, there are more places that need to be revised? This is Ah Zheng's book."

There is nothing Azheng's book. It was "copied" by Mai Xiaoyu based on the American movie in the strange dream. It must be "Chinese" in its entirety, and the amount of work is not small.

I can’t tell my two friends, Mai Xiaoyu haha, and laughed: "This book, I planned to throw it to Hualong to make a Hollywood blockbuster, but I snatched it for you. I'm unhappy, I don't want to. Edit, so..."

"Understood, the boss is still righteous, I know what to do."

Mai Xiaoyu patted Xiaoxing Xi on the shoulder; "When the "Love Apartment" is over, you start to prepare, take time to go to India to investigate the special effects production there, and choose a few powerful ones."

"No problem, I just want to see the customs of India."

Zhang Xiaoquan inserted a knife: "It doesn't matter to see the local customs, don't bring back a few Chinese and Indian mixed-races..."

…

I had dinner with two friends at noon. In the afternoon, I went to the company for a round trip. When I was about to get off work, Mai Xiaoyu went to Wang Chuhan's fitness club to practice Sanda. To my surprise, there were many familiar faces in the fitness club.

In the fitness club, in addition to the general members, there are also some young actors who have just debuted for a few years but are not well-known actors. They are the kind who look familiar but can't name them.

After "This Man Comes From Earth" was released in North America, many well-known actors of the 3, 4, 5 and 6 line came to the fitness club to organize members. Mai Xiaoyu looked at those familiar with them, and belonged to this group of people.

In addition to the insiders, there are some handsome and beautiful women who are interested in entering the entertainment industry. Because cute people are used to choosing new people, they have applied for a membership card here very early. I hope that one day, I will get lucky.

Mai Xiaoyu accidentally saw Tong Liya, who was learning yoga with Wang Chuhan.

Wang Chuhan's yoga level is getting higher and higher, and has become the second selling point of the fitness club. The first selling point is naturally the signature of cute people.

Mai Xiaoyu and Wang Chuhan greeted them without disturbing Tong Liya who was practicing yoga. They went to the locker room to change clothes to warm up, put on protective gear and Ke Haoyi to practice Sanda.

At six o'clock in the evening, I finished my Sanda practice and went to the shower room to take a hot bath. Mai Xiaoyu changed clothes and beat Ke Haoyi to go home first, then called Tong Liya and went to the underground parking lot.

After sitting in the car and not waiting long, she saw Tong Liya coming over.

"Did you apply for a membership card at the fitness club?"

"Zhao Chupeng told me that the company's artists have been set up, and I am also a company artist."

Seeing Tong Liya's serious appearance, Mai Xiaoyu smiled: "You don't need to emphasize it, you have my secret."

"If not?"

"Nothing?"

"I mean, if I didn't know your secret, would you still sign me?"

"Are you willing to sign a contract with the company?"

Mai Xiaoyu asked with a smile, and habitually stretched out her hand, wanting to touch Tong Liya's head.

Tong Liya's body was slightly stiff, a hesitation flashed across her face, and she did not dodge.

Mai Xiaoyu finally retracted his palm without touching Tong Liya's head: "You seem to be... changed?"

Tong Liya opened her mouth, hesitated for a moment, and said: "Let's go to dinner, I've booked a place."

She booked a high-end restaurant with two seats by the window, separated by green plants, which is quieter and suitable for chatting.

The food was ordered by Mai Xiaoyu. Originally, he asked Tong Liya to order, but Tong Liya said that the meal was her own treat, and Mai Xiaoyu was the guest and insisted on letting him order.

Sisters from ethnic minorities in Xijiang are very stubborn when they get serious.

After ordering two meats, two vegetarians, four dishes and one soup, Mai Xiaoyu returned the menu to the waiter and asked Liya Tong: "Why don't you go to the Xijiang restaurant?"

"I'm worried you can't get used to it."

"Ha, you actually started to think for me?"

"You haven't answered my question. If I didn't know your secret, would you still sign me?"

"Does it make sense to ask this kind of question now?"

"For me, yes."

"Then I ask you, if I didn't scare you at the time, would you still sign a contract with the company?"

"You admit that you just scared me?"

"I didn't admit it." Mai Xiaoyu lowered his voice, "At that time, you were a lone man and a widow. You are so beautiful, maybe I have great animality..."

"You are not such a person." Tong Liya interrupted him, "Sister Tangtang and Liying both told me that you always like to scare people. You have said similar things to them before, but you have never really bullied them. ."

"what do you want to say in the end?"

Tong Liya sipped chrysanthemum tea and said softly: "The first thing I learned was dance performance. After graduating from the Xijiang Art College, I was seconded to the Huaxia Song and Dance Ensemble. When I first came to Beijing, the Song and Dance Ensemble didn’t perform much, and I was in my pocket. If you don’t have any money, I will go to the restaurant to dance Xijiang Dance."

"At that time, dancing three or four dances could earn 2oo yuan, and there were several Uyghur sisters accompanying me. I felt very happy. At that time, I thought that I would go to the restaurant to dance if I couldn’t do it. Earn hundreds of dollars."

"Later I was admitted to the Central Academy of Drama and learned acting. I met more and more people, and my horizons became wider and wider. It was impossible to go back to dancing. Maybe it was because I was in contact with society prematurely, and I was one year older than my classmates. At the age of two, I started to plan my future when I was a semester older."

"I thought at the time that I worked hard to learn acting for three years in college to lay a solid foundation. I started running crazily to pass the materials in my senior year. Even if the crew would definitely not use me, I would go, just to make the other party have an impression of me, maybe in the future. Will use me..."

As Tong Liya spoke softly, the waiter 6 continued to order the dishes.

Tong Liya was still telling her past, while Mai Xiaoyu was listening while eating.

"...That time I went to Daguanyuan with my classmates to participate in the audition of "Dream of Red Mansions", which disrupted my plan for myself and changed my destiny. At Mengren Film and Television, my classmates were surprised to know that I signed the contract. I know Many of them want to sign contracts, but they don’t even have a chance for an interview."

Mai Xiaoyu swallowed the food in his mouth: "But you are not happy, even a little desperate."

"Should I not be desperate? You made people kill me, made people defile me, and threatened me with my family. Can I not be afraid?"

"now what?"

Tong Liya shook her head and stared at Mai Xiaoyu: "I am not afraid now, because I know that you were scaring me at the time!"

"Tangtang and Liying told you?"

"Not all. And that time when Master Hai Qing woke me up, and in Qingtian, I saw you stand up for Teacher Hu Xu... You should not be a bad person. Although you have deceived many people, you have been trying to clean up. Compensate them."

"Hey, how come I feel like I am about to be blown into a saint by you. You invited me to dinner tonight just to say this?"

Tong Liya was silent for a moment, her expression suddenly became more serious, she lowered her voice and said one by one: "I want to tell you that I am not the most hopeless artist in the company."

The latter sentence was what Mai Xiaoyu said to Ning Shibin when Tong Liya was held hostage by Ning Shibin, which she always remembered.

Mai Xiaoyu smiled, and also lowered his voice: "The people I sign are all future celebrities."

"That said, you admit that you signed me at the time, wasn't it because I heard your secret?"

"As for so happy?"

Of course as for.

This year Tong Liya is in her senior year and will graduate in July next year. Most of her classmates are working hard for their own future, but the entertainment industry does not mean that you will be rewarded if you work hard. Where is the road after graduation and how you should go, which makes many acting students anxious. .

Tong Liya does not need to be anxious about this, because she has signed with Moe Ren.

If you describe it as a fish leaping dragon gate, a cute person is a dragon gate. As long as the artist can sign the Mengren, the man turns the dragon and the girl into the phoenix, and Mengren is not like other film and television companies, and will never leave any artist in the cold.

When she was sure that Mai Xiaoyu was not as bad as she thought, she saw her classmates run around in groups, repertory troupes, film and television companies, and attending certain circle parties...

"I think I'm very lucky."

"You are under the threat of me to sign the contract of sale."

"When Tangtang Senior Sister and Liying signed, it didn't seem to be a serious way."

Mai Xiaoyu looked at Tong Liya suspiciously: "Yah, what constellation do you have?"

Tong Liya trembled at first because of Mai Xiaoyu’s "Yaya", and then said: "Before I thought you were a bad person, so I was very resistant to signing with the company; now I now see that you are not as bad as I imagined, so I feel like The company is very lucky to sign the contract. It's that simple for us in Xijiang."

Most people in Xijiang are unrestrained and unrestrained, and they don’t need to "warm up" when interacting with people, and they have no purpose. When you are a friend, just say hello if you have anything, never hide it, and use all the strength you have. If you don’t treat you as a friend, you will rarely be ignorant and scorn you, just like the previous Tong Liya. Express it without concealment.

"So you don't exclude the company now?"

"The day you went to the Sky Tower, I asked you to talk about this."

"Come on, call the boss, listen."

Tong Liya was speechless.

She has heard Tang Yan and Zhao Liying mentioned more than once that Mai Xiaoyu's "bad hobbies" of a tuned actress, and now she can feel it personally.

However, with a straightforward personality, she called out very cheerfully: "Boss."

"good."

Mai Xiaoyu happily stretched out his hand, subconsciously trying to touch Tong Liya's head.

This is his bad hobby.

In the past, when Cici and Shu Chang were young, he always used to touch their heads. The female artists of the company, except Liu Tao and Chen Qiaoen, were almost all touched by him.

There is no other meaning, just the meaning of the older generation and the younger generation, the older brother and the younger sister.

He stretched his hand over, and did not touch Tong Liya's head. Mai Xiaoyu felt that it was not suitable and stopped by the side.

Just when he was about to withdraw her hand, Tong Liya suddenly leaned on her side and took the initiative to press her head.

"I don't understand why you like to do this, but I heard that you seem to like to touch girls' heads, and it seems that this is your approval."

"Nonsense, do artificial respiration for me, it is considered to be my approval." Mai Xiaoyu smiled and withdrew his hand, "I still think that you have changed too much, and you can't accept it."

"I am this kind of person. I recognize you and I am a friend. UU reading www.uukanshu.com welcomes you with a smile; if you don't recognize you, don't think I will give you a good face. I will never be polite."

Mai Xiaoyu: "...what is your zodiac sign?"

"boss!"

A familiar tone suddenly remembered, and then a small man appeared next to them, tilted his head and looked at Mai Xiaoyu, a pair of big white teeth were very conspicuous in the brilliant smile.

Wang Baoqiang!

"Your kid wants to die, shout so loudly."

Wang Baoqiang rolled his eyes, looked at Mai Xiaoyu, and then at Tong Liya, he hehe said: "Understand, I fully understand."

"Understand your size. She is Tong Liya, the company's new artist, let alone you don't know."

"Uh... I know, I know, but it's the first time I see what it looks like."

"Hello, Mr. Wang Baoqiang, I am the artist Tong Liya who signed the company some time ago. Please take care of me in the future."

Tong Liya stood up, stretched out her hand, and greeted politely.

"Sit down and say sit down and say, why do you make such a big move?"

"Yes, yes, don't draw attention to others, and disturb others to eat." Wang Baoqiang sat down next to Mai Xiaoyu, still covering half of his face with his hands.

Mai Xiaoyu asked him: "Why are you here?"

"Eating with friends, they are all in the private room. I went to the bathroom just now and happened to see you."

"Have you finished going to the bathroom?"

"It's over."

"When you're done, go back and join in some fun with me."

"That's OK, I'll go back first. Brother, are you in the company tomorrow? I have something to talk to you."

"Call tomorrow."

Wang Baoqiang raised his collar and left.

Tong Liya wondered: "Mr. Mai, I know you have been very low-key, but why is Teacher Baoqiang the same as you?"

I also find it strange.

Looking at Wang Baoqiang's back, Mai Xiaoyu looked suspicious.
