After lunch, Mai Xiaoyu talked with Xiao Xing and Zhang Xiaoquan about the script for more than two hours.


    "Love call transfer 2" fortunately, the investment cost is still not high, more than 10 million is enough; Different from inception, even if the remuneration of actors, directors, screenwriters and other staff is much lower than that in the dream, the shooting and post production costs will not be low.


    Especially the special effects lens in post production, absolutely, yes, no, can save money!


    What else is it called a science fiction blockbuster?


    Inception is not a soft science fiction like this man from earth. It costs a lot of money in post production and must also burn money!


    Money is only one aspect, people are the other.


    With the current level of wheat leaf effects, it certainly can''t reach the level that Mai Xiaoyu wants.


    The world''s top or first-class special effects companies, such as industrial light and magic, digital field, Sony graphics and images in the United States, Vita digital in New Zealand, double negation in the United Kingdom and mobile images, are the best choice, but the price is too expensive.


    Even if the production cost budget of inception given by Mai Xiaoyu is 120-150 million Chinese yuan, it is not enough. Burn all this money, and you can''t afford these special effects production companies.


    "Boss, although I haven''t read the script yet, judging from your description and the money burning degree of science fiction films, special effects production is a hard wound. There is too little money to support the big scene of science fiction films, too much money... Too much risk."


    Xiao Xing put forward pertinent opinions.


    "Invite professionals from those companies at a high price for guidance, and then find a special effect company from India to cooperate with wheat leaf special effect."


    "India?" Zhang Koizumi thought for a moment and nodded, "that''s a good idea. India has a developed software industry and 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 in all aspects is lower than that in China."


    "Lao Yi, I''ll give you the script later. You can gather the writers in your hand and revise them."


    "You mean there are many places that need to be modified? This is a Zheng''s book."


    There is no ah Zheng''s book. It was "copied" by Mai Xiaoyu according to the American film in the strange dream. It must be completely "sinicized", and the quantity of work is not small.


    I''m sure I can''t tell my two little friends. Mai Xiaoyu laughed and said, "Ya, this book was intended to be thrown to Hualong to shoot Hollywood blockbusters, but I robbed it for you. Ya is unhappy and doesn''t want to modify it, so..."


    "I see. It''s the boss who stands up for justice. I know what to do."


    Mai Xiaoyu patted Xiao Xing on the shoulder; "When the" love apartment "comes to an end, you start to prepare. Take time to go to India to investigate the special effects production there and choose some powerful ones."


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


    Zhang Xiaoquan stabbed: "it doesn''t matter to see the local conditions and customs. Just don''t bring back a few Chinese Indian hybrids..."


    ……


    After having lunch with two friends at noon, he went to the company for a walk in the afternoon. When he was about to get off work, Mai Xiaoyu went to Wang Chuhan''s fitness club to practice Sanda. He was surprised to find that there were many familiar faces in the fitness club.


    In the fitness club, in addition to ordinary members, there are some young actors who have just made their debut for several years but are not well-known, that is, those who look familiar but can''t name.


    After the release of this man from the earth in North America, many well-known third, fourth, fifth and sixth line actors came to the fitness club to become members. Those familiar to Mai Xiaoyu belong to this group of people.


    In addition to insiders, there are also some handsome and beautiful women who want to enter the entertainment industry. Because cute people are used to choosing new people, they have handled membership cards here for a long time, hoping to get lucky one day.


    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 a cute sign.


    Mai Xiaoyu and Wang Chuhan said hello. They didn''t disturb Tong Liya who was practicing yoga. They went to the dressing room to change clothes to warm up, took protective gear and Ke Haoyi to practice Sanda.


    At six o''clock in the evening, he finished Sanda practice and took a hot bath in the shower. Mai Xiaoyu changed his clothes and sent Ke Haoyi home first. Then he called Tong Liya and came to the underground parking lot.


    Not long after sitting in the car, I saw Tong Liya coming.


    "Have you got a membership card in the fitness club?"


    "Zhao chupeng told me that the company''s artists have done it, and I''m also a company artist."


    Looking at Tong Liya''s serious appearance, Mai Xiaoyu smiled: "you don''t have to emphasize it, but you have my secret."


    "What if not?"


    "Nothing?"


    "I mean, if I don''t know your secret, will you sign me?"


    "Would you like to sign a contract with the company?"


    Mai Xiaoyu asked with a smile. He habitually stretched out his hand and wanted to touch Tong Liya''s head.


    Tong Liya''s delicate body was slightly stiff, and a touch of hesitation flashed on her face. She didn''t dodge.


    Mai Xiaoyu finally took back his palm and didn''t touch Tong Liya''s head: "you seem... Changed?"


    Tong Liya opened her mouth, hesitated for a moment and said, "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 quiet and suitable for chatting.


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


    The sister from ethnic minorities in western Xinjiang is very stubborn when she gets serious.


    After ordering two meat, two vegetables, four dishes and one soup, Mai Xiaoyu returned the menu to the waiter and asked Tong Liya: "why not go to Xijiang restaurant?"


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


    "Ha, are you thinking of me?"


    "You haven''t answered my question yet. Will you sign me if I don''t know your secret?"


    "Is it still meaningful to ask such a question now?"


    "For me, yes."


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


    "You admit you just scared me?"


    "I didn''t admit it." Mai Xiaoyu lowered his voice. "At that time, you were so beautiful. Maybe I was a beast..."


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


    "What the hell are you trying to say?"


    Tong Liya drank chrysanthemum tea and sighed: "I first learned dance performance. After graduating from Xijiang art college, I was seconded to Huaxia song and dance troupe. When I first came to BJ, the song and dance troupe had no performance, and I had no money in my pocket, so I went to the restaurant to dance Xijiang dance."


    "At that time, I could earn 200 yuan by dancing three or four dances, and several Uygur sisters accompanied me. I felt very happy. At that time, I thought that if I couldn''t dance in a restaurant, how could I earn hundreds of yuan a day."


    "Later, I was admitted to the Central Academy of drama and studied acting. More and more people came into contact with me and my horizons became wider and wider. It was impossible to go back to dancing. Maybe I contacted the society too early and was one or two years older than my classmates. I began to plan my future when I was a semester older."


    "At that time, I thought that after three years of college, I worked hard to learn acting and lay a solid foundation. My senior began to frantically run to the group to deliver materials. Even if the crew certainly wouldn''t use me, I would go, just to make the other party have an impression on me. Maybe I would use me in the future..."


    In Tong Liya''s whisper, the waiter successively served the dishes together.


    Tong Liya is still talking about her past, while Mai Xiaoyu is listening while eating vegetables.


    "... that time I went to the Grand View Garden with my classmates to participate in the audition for the dream of the Red Mansions, which disrupted my planning for myself and changed my fate. Meng Ren film and television, my classmates were surprised when I signed the contract. I knew that many of them wanted to sign the contract, but they didn''t even have the opportunity to interview."


    Mai Xiaoyu swallowed the food: "but you are not happy, even a little desperate."


    "Shouldn''t I despair? You let people kill me, defile me, and threaten me with my family. Can I not be afraid?"


    "Now?"


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


    "Tangtang and Liying told you?"


    "Not all. And that time, Mr. Haiqing scolded me and woke me up. In Qingtian, I saw you stand up for Mr. Hu Jian... You should not be a bad person. Although you cheated many people, you have been trying to wash white and compensate them."


    "Oh, hey, how do I feel like I''m going to be a saint by you? That''s why you invited me to dinner tonight?"


    Tong Liya was silent for a moment. Her expression suddenly became very serious. She lowered her voice and said word by word: "I want to tell you that I am not the most promising artist in the company."


    The latter sentence is what Mai Xiaoyu said to Ning Shibin when Tong Liya was kidnapped by Ning Shibin. She always remembers.


    Mai Xiaoyu smiled and lowered his voice: "all the people I signed are the stars of the future."


    "So you admit you didn''t sign me because I heard your secret?"


    "As for so happy?"


    Of course.


    Tong Liya is a senior this year and will graduate next July. Most of her classmates are working hard for their own future, but the business of entertainment industry does not mean that you will be rewarded if you work hard. Where is the road after graduation and how to go? Many performance students are worried.


    Tong Liya doesn''t need to worry about it because she has signed a contract with cute people.


    If the fish leaps over the dragon''s gate to describe it, the cute person is a dragon''s gate. As long as artists can sign cute people, men turn into dragons and women become Phoenix, and unlike other film and television companies, cute people will never ignore any artists.


    When she was sure that Mai Xiaoyu was not as bad as she thought, and saw her classmates running around in groups, drama troupes, film and television companies and participating in some in circle gatherings


    "I think I''m lucky."


    "You signed the deed of sale under my coercion."


    "When sister Tangtang signed a contract with Liying, it didn''t seem to be a serious way."


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


    Tong Liya first trembled because of Mai Xiaoyu''s "Ya Ya", and immediately said, "I thought you were a bad person before, so you resisted after signing a contract with the company; now I find that you are not as bad as I thought, so I think it''s lucky to sign a contract with the company. We people in western Xinjiang are so simple."


    Most people in western Xinjiang are unrestrained and forthright. They don''t need to "warm up" and have no purpose. When you are a friend, just say hello, never hide and tuck in, and you will get all your strength out; If I don''t treat you as a friend, I seldom give in to you. Just like Tong Liya in the past, I express it openly.


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


    "That''s what I wanted to talk about when you went to Optimus building."


    "Come on, listen to the boss."


    Tong Liya was speechless.


    She has heard Tang Yan and Zhao Liying mention more than once that Mai Xiaoyu has a "bad hobby" of female entertainers, and now she has personally felt it.


    However, the straightforward character of her, called very happy: "boss."


    "Good."


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


    This is his bad hobby.


    In the past, when sissy and Shuchang were young, he was always used to touching their heads. The company''s female artists, except Liu Tao and Chen Qiaoen, were almost touched by him.


    There is no other meaning, just the meaning of predecessors, descendants, brothers and sisters.


    He reached out and didn''t touch Tong Liya''s head. Mai Xiaoyu didn''t feel very suitable and stopped next to her.


    Just when he was ready to withdraw, Tong Liya suddenly leaned and took the initiative to stick her head to the past.


    "I don''t understand why you like it, but I heard that you seem to like touching girls'' heads. It seems that this is your recognition."


    "Nonsense. Only by giving me artificial respiration can I get my approval." Mai Xiaoyu withdrew his hand with a smile. "I still think you have changed too much and can''t accept it."


    "I am such a person. If I recognize you, I am a friend and greet you with a smile; if I don''t recognize you, don''t think I''ll give you a face. I''ll never be polite."


    Mai Xiaoyu: "... What constellation do you have?"


    "Boss!"


    A familiar tone suddenly remembered, and then a small man appeared next to them, and looked at Mai Xiaoyu with his head tilted. In his bright smile, a pair of big white teeth were particularly conspicuous.


    Wang Baoqiang!


    "Your boy wants to die. Shout so loudly."


    Wang Baoqiang turned his eyes and looked at Mai Xiaoyu and Tong Liya. Hei hei said, "I understand. I fully understand."


    "I understand you. She is Tong Liya, a newly signed artist of the company. Don''t say you don''t know."


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


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


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


    "Sit down and say, why do you make so much noise?"


    "Yes, don''t attract other people''s attention and disturb others to eat." Wang Baoqiang sat down next to Mai Xiaoyu and covered half of his face with his hand.


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


    "I eat with my friends in private rooms. I happened to see you when I went to the bathroom just now."


    "Have you finished going to the bathroom?"


    "It''s over."


    "Go back when you''re finished. Do something fun with me."


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


    "Call tomorrow."


    Wang Baoqiang put up his collar and left.


    Tong Liya didn''t understand: "Mr. Mai, I know you''ve always been very low-key, but why is Mr. Baoqiang the same as you?"


    I find it strange.


    Looking at Wang Baoqiang''s back, Mai Xiaoyu showed puzzled eyes.
