Chapter 3
Qiao Yi Qiao cleaned up the guest room for A'mo and let him go to bed.
Although Ah Mo wanted to accompany Ah Da very much, he was already exhausted these days. Therefore, under Ah Da's sharp eyes, he did not try to refuse. Instead, he obediently got into bed and soon began to snore.
Qiao Yi Qiao returned to his room and stared at the email sent by a man who introduced himself as Wang Yiming, and fell into deep thought.
After a while, he sent a reply email.
"I'll help you revise the script for 1,500 yuan per time."
Although he had not changed the script, he did not want to give up any opportunity to make a fortune.
Moreover, he felt that no matter what, he should be able to write something better than the current 600 words.
After sending the email, he felt that the price he asked for might be a bit high.
One thousand and five.
It is equivalent to one or two weeks’ income for many working people.
Qiao Yiqiao felt that his asking price was very bold.
But for A'mer's flesh, he decided to take the risk.
But I didn’t expect Wang Yiming to reply so quickly.
"No problem! If you come to our site for guidance again, I'll give you another 500 red envelope!"
Wang Yiming thought to himself that this was perfect, as writing scripts was never his weak point, let alone writing about the life of a big boss!
Now that there are real big guys writing it, why not do it?
Moreover, 1500 is the money he recharged into the mobile game twice and a half 648 to draw cards. He is born with bad luck, and he may not be able to draw the character he wants even with two 648!
When Qiao Yi Qiao saw Wang Yiming’s reply, he hissed.
He agreed so readily, I'm afraid it's too little.
It may be that people's values have changed a bit nowadays. However, for an "old-fashioned" like Qiao Yiqiao, 1,500 is really a lot. Even in a high-consumption place like City A, you can buy several large shopping carts of ingredients. If you cook by yourself, it will be enough to feed two grown men for nearly a month.
But now that the matter is done and you have accepted the (paid) job, you have to take it seriously.
Qiao Yi Qiao immediately opened his email and started reading the rough script of the first episode of the short play. Soon, he understood what kind of story Wang Yiming wanted to tell.
A top gangster retired and became a domineering president with 1,800 younger brothers. He became interested in a new female intern and staged a "domineering boss falls in love with me" drama.
This first episode is about the big guy
When returning home late at night, he saw the heroine being surrounded by hooligans on the roadside. Although the hooligans were helped to drive away by his strength in the underworld, they showed disdain for her who was covered in dirt. The heroine also felt that the gangster was not a good person.
But unexpectedly, when he met her in the company the next day, she turned out to be the boss's new intern assistant. The boss was attracted by her beauty and said, "Woman, you have caught my attention."
To sum up, the word that stands out is "contrast".
But after reading it, Qiao Yiqiao felt it was inappropriate.
First, the two identities of the gang leader and the domineering president need to be explained at the same time, which is a bit long and a waste of time. In fact, there are overlaps in the personalities of the two, and the effect of 1+1>2 does not exist.
Second, the leader of the Black Society is unlikely to go to the roadside to save the heroine alone. Where are his younger brothers? Where are his subordinates?
Third, Qiao Yiqiao has seen at least fifty big guys, if not a hundred. Those who can reach the position of big guys are all shrewd people. Although some of them are not very good at being obsessed with men and women, there is not a single one who would put himself in danger for a stranger.
Fourthly, Qiao Yiqiao had a photographic memory. When he glanced at the actors that day, he felt that none of them looked like a big boss. They looked more like a group of little hooligans.
Anyway... it's not real.
Qiao Yiqiao is actually a person who is a bit serious.
He also knew that literary and artistic works could be roughly divided into two categories, one was art and the other was commodities.
Although he didn't know much about mini-series, or micro-short dramas, this clearly belonged to the latter.
Therefore, good looks and direct stimulation are the most important, while authenticity can be compromised.
But can you allow so much?
Thinking of this, Qiao Yi Qiao downloaded the short video platform.
The most popular software now is TK, which is said to have 300 million users.
Qiao Yi Qiao plans to first see how other creators do it.
Qiao Yi Qiao casually clicked on a few short plays with the words "big boss" and "domineering boss" in the titles and started watching them.
I have to say that the plots are exactly the same as the one written by Wang Yiming. I felt extremely aesthetically fatigued after watching only four or five of them.
However, Qiao Yiqiao did not watch it with a critical eye, but with a learning attitude, and roughly understood the common plot rhythm of micro-short dramas.
After understanding this, Qiao Yi Qiao watched some more short dramas of other themes, and then used Excel spreadsheets to go through the rhythms of all the popular short films. After working on it for several hours, he finally had a general understanding of this content.
Qiao Yiqiao has always felt that he has no special talents, and the main reason he is able to do well is that he has a heart that enjoys torturing himself.
Really benefited a lot.
A short episode of a micro-series is only 1 to 5 minutes long, and he feels he can still handle the job with this length.
The biggest problem is memory.
Wang Yiming's original plot is actually not bad in the micro-short drama world, it's just mediocre and not very outstanding.
However, it is difficult for the audience to form a unique impression.
Although short dramas have always been considered as fast-moving film and television works, with their main features being melodrama and intense dramatic conflicts, is there any way to make this drama stand out?
Qiao Yiqiao fell into deep thought.
At 5:30 in the morning, A'mo's biological clock woke him up. He first did push-ups and sit-ups in the room to complete his morning exercise, and then wanted to go out for a run.
When passing by Ada's door, he walked very lightly on purpose, for fear of disturbing Ada's sleep.
But he didn't expect that in the dim light in the room, Ada was sitting on the bed, facing the computer with a pen in his mouth, looking very focused.
A'mo wanted to cry again.
This scene reminded him of the state of Ah Da when he was first taken back to the organization by Ah Da. At that time, Ah Da was just the last brother in the society. It was by working so hard every day that his status was gradually improved.
Outsiders only saw the glory and splendor of Ada after he became the leader. Only he, the younger brothers inside, saw the hardships and pains that Ada went through step by step.
When Qiao Yi Qiao heard the door click, he knew that A'mo had gone out for a run.
After five years of eating and sleeping together, they already knew each other's living habits very well.
Just hearing the long-lost "click" sound made him feel a little nostalgic.
This was the first time in six months since his retirement that he felt life was...interesting.
That’s right!
He just couldn't figure out the plot, mainly because he felt that there was no sense of immersion.
But if the protagonist is Amer...
Qiao Yi Qiao instantly put himself in the shoes of A'mo, the face that was so familiar to him, and thought of his experiences, and suddenly an idea came to him.
Got it.
…
As Ah Mo ran on the country road, he silently swore in his heart that he would make Ah Da return to his position as the boss.
People in the countryside got up early, and many of them were frightened when they went out, wondering where the organization members had come from and how they came into the village. Their appearance and physique made them look dangerous.
But upon closer inspection, wow, her face was all wet. How could she be crying while staring fiercely at the road ahead?
The economy is bad, are you laying off employees in your industry? Are you not getting N+1?
I don't understand.
When he returned to A's house, A'mo had wiped away his tears and had made up his mind.
He can't do anything else.
In order to let Ah Da live a good life again, he had to go back to fighting underground boxing.
Even if he gets beaten to death on the stage, I will do it as long as I can make back the money!
Unexpectedly, when he got home, he saw Ah Da wearing an apron, waving at him: "Come and eat."
Ah Mo took a step forward and was about to tell Ah Da about his plan.
Unexpectedly, Ah Da looked him up and down and asked, "Do you want to do some black boxing again?"
Amer:?
Is this what it means to be in sync with each other?
…
Wang Yiming originally regarded filming the short drama as a way to deal with his father, and didn't think about investing much energy and time in it.
But after receiving Qiao Yi Qiao's script, he suddenly sat up from the bed.
After watching it again and again, there is only one word in my mind - absolutely amazing!
It’s amazing!
It is worthy of being written by a big brother in the underworld. How can it be written so accurately and precisely!
He suddenly felt a sense of mission to be a director from the bottom of his heart.
Maybe he will be the Purple Star of China's entertainment market in 202X!
The road to becoming an internationally renowned director starts with this short play!
However.
Although he was full of ambition, he became worried as soon as he arrived at the shooting site.
For the first scene, they decided to film the protagonist, a gold medal fighter, taking on three opponents alone in a black boxing ring and ultimately winning by a narrow margin.
What is wanted is the thrilling and tense feeling of fist-to-flesh punches to highlight the protagonist's ruthlessness, so as to create a contrast for when he later meets the orphan mute girl who applies medicine to him and touches the soft side of his heart.
This was also the most surprising thing about the script adapted by Qiao Yiqiao.
Originally, what he wrote about big guys and domineering presidents was just the superposition of heat elements.
But now that he has abandoned his boss persona and turned into a gold medal fighter, it feels more right.
A man who can only obey the boss's orders and has no control over his own affairs, meets another trapped soul who is indescribable and fragmented. Tsk tsk tsk.
No matter how I think about it, it feels like that.
Moreover, I have to say that this is a very good play for the first episode.
He knows that in order to stand out in the world of short dramas, he must have his own characteristics, so the fist-fighting fighting scenes are the most important feature.
To this end, he borrowed a friend's boxing gym and renovated it according to the description in the script, and now it looks very "underground".
His main actor is a buddy who has been learning Taekwondo since elementary school. He looks like the popular flower boy and has a good posture. The three extras were hired from a martial arts school for 200 yuan a day. Logically, there should be no problem shooting the fighting scenes.
But when the footage comes out, it makes people feel unsatisfactory no matter how they look at it.
It's so fake.
It’s not that he has high requirements, it’s mainly because these people only know how to put on some postures, and it’s too fake when they get together.
Qiao Yi Qiao calculated the time accurately and waited for Wang Yiming and the others to shoot for a while before bringing A'mo to the boxing gym.
As soon as Ah Mo came in, he knew something was wrong when he saw the decoration, and poked Qiao Yiqiao's arm: "Ah Da, this is not a black boxing ring, right?"
How can you make money from this?
Qiao Yiqiao nodded: "It's okay, you can warm up over there."
Although Ah Mo had some doubts in his heart, he absolutely obeyed the orders. Therefore, he ignored the eyes of others and started warming up on the side.
Wang Yiming took a few more shots, but felt that it still didn't work. He felt a little angry, but since they were all friends, he couldn't say it directly.
At this moment, he tilted his head and saw A'mo practicing punching in the corner. His eyes lit up instantly.
This punch feels so powerful and swift, this is what a gold medal fighter in the underworld should be like!
Qiao Yiqiao also noticed Wang Yiming's gaze, but deliberately didn't look at him. He just tapped A'mo's arm and said, "Pay attention to your balance."
Having been in the underworld for so long, he knew that asking for help actively would not be taken seriously, and that only when someone begged him would he be willing to talk about things.
As expected, Wang Yiming came up to him immediately and said, "Brother Qiao, is your friend willing to act in our skit?"
He had originally only wanted this taciturn hunk to be a supporting role last night, but as he got closer and saw the hunk's face which looked quite good after being groomed, he suddenly felt that his handsome boyfriend was not attractive anymore.
Wang Yiming howled inwardly, this was the protagonist he wanted!
Of course, all of this was intentional by Qiao Yi Qiao. When writing the script, he deliberately made the protagonist's temperament similar to A'mo.
Qiao Yiqiao looked at Wang Yiming casually and asked, "Price?"
Wang Yiming immediately patted his chest and said, "Three thousand for the first episode!"
A'mo was a little hostile when he saw Wang Yiming approaching, but when he heard him say this number, his movements stopped instantly.
Is there any reason in this world that you can earn 3,000 yuan without doing dirty boxing?!
Is it protection money?
As expected, A Da!
Qiao Yiqiao was overjoyed in his heart, but his face remained calm. He nodded slightly and said, "I'll think about it."
Although A'mo was howling in his heart, he knew when to speak and when not to speak. He just looked at Wang Yiming with a stern face.
Wang Yiming thought the two bosses were dissatisfied, so he gritted his teeth and said, "Five thousand!"
Qiao Yiqiao:!
Mozai, you have your beef!
Although an A5-level flower had blossomed in his heart, Qiao Yiqiao's expression remained calm.
He was just about to nod in agreement, but he didn't expect someone to be more anxious than him.
The pretty boy on the stage turned over and walked over, holding his arm up: "Wang Yiming, what do you mean? Didn't you agree that I would be the protagonist?"
Wang Yiming was about to explain, but the pretty boy spoke again: "Who is this guy? It's obvious that his muscles are the result of drinking protein powder. Can he fight?"
…
A luxury house at the other end of City A, with one basement floor.
A man wearing gold-rimmed glasses was sitting in front of a dozen large display screens, rubbing his temples.
Behind him stood twenty or thirty men with very unfriendly faces.
Outside the door, hundreds of younger brothers stood with their hands hanging down, waiting with bated breath.
"Brother, is this okay?" a silly-looking younger brother asked, "It's just that a scum who likes to secretly film others got beaten up, and he came to us for help, hoping that we can help him vent his anger. How can you be sure that it was the boss who beat him up? The man in the video only said two sentences, and his voice doesn't sound like the boss at all."
"Johnny, I know that must be the boss." The man with gold-rimmed glasses looked at the screen and kept searching, "This is telepathy, you don't understand."
All right.
The younger brother nicknamed "Jenny" lowered his head, thinking that since the eldest brother left, the second brother has also gone crazy.
It's also telepathy.
Last time, my second brother insisted in the middle of the night that the boss had appeared in his dream and asked them to go to the garbage station and search it all night, but they only found a dummy.
The man with gold-rimmed glasses, who was called "Second Brother" by everyone, showed a crazy look on his calm face.
"Start from the place where he was beaten, with a radius of 50 kilometers, and conduct a carpet search in the west of City A." He gave the order, "We must find him and restore the prestige of the gang. Do you understand?"
"yes."
Although they were a little unwilling in their hearts, after the eldest brother left, these defeated soldiers were gathered by the second brother, so it was reasonable for them to obey his orders.
However, before leaving, Jenny suddenly remembered, "What about the scum who took the sneak shots?"
The second brother lit a cigarette, took a deep breath, and then slowly exhaled the smoke.
"Learn from the boss. If he's still not behaving himself, beat him up again."!
