Chapter 50 Accounting
Lu Xiaoran did not agree to Yang Qing directly.
It's very simple. It's really not something that can be done by just one person...
A good screenwriter can't really make a good movie if he changes career. The simplest example is: "Gravity". This script is invincible, with only two people, and then how to escape, it's over.
Such a simple story, why did a lot of people get a climax after watching it? It is because the director has the ability!
Moreover, many directors who change careers pay special attention to lines and artistic conception, which can easily separate the entire movie.
Traceway, the screenwriter of "No Man's Land", "Crazy Racing", "A Good Show", became the director himself, tinkered with "Snowstorm", brought Liao Fan and Zhang Zhen, and what about? The movie failed...
Because "Snowstorm" tells the story of a police and gangster showdown, there is not much complex suspense, and it considers the rhythm and atmosphere very much. This is a test for the screenwriter. The most serious thing is that it is the writing of lines. It is obviously a genre film, but the screenwriter makes every character want to become a poet or essayist in his heart. It is obvious that he can feel completely derailed from real life...
Boge's new film "The Man Captured by Light"...
However, "Nightclub" is a bit different, and this script is easy to shoot!
If you choose the right actor in such a movie, the director is almost a decoration...
Just a supermarket, the story is quite simple, and it relies entirely on dialogue to promote the plot...
The jokes are not high-end, but they are very interesting...
It strictly follows the conventional comedy routine of laughing points for three or five minutes, climaxes for seven or eight minutes, and then inciting love at the end.
Very interesting...
To be honest, it is enough for a comedy movie to be interesting!
After thinking about it, Lu Xiaoran said, "This is how I recommend it for you."
"Do you want to recommend it to Mr. Li?"
Director Li is Li Ming...
"… Have you shown it to him?"
"Well, I showed it to him last year..."
"What did he say?"
“He said it was a bit amateur…”
Lu Xiaoran agrees with this view very much: "It's a bit amateur. It would be even better if the script could be logically improved!"
“…What did you think?”
"The rhythm in the first half is too loose, and the characters are a little abrupt. The professional robbers who pulled the second half appear a little too suddenly. I think you can go deeper in the side plot..."
It's total nonsense...
Xiao Luzi wants to lower the price!
"But... Teacher Xu Zheng likes this book very much. He said he recommended it to Pete, the boss of Caa, one of the three major Hollywood agencies..."
"…Xu Zheng? Wait a minute, I'll call and ask!"
It's true. Xu Zhengman likes this script, but he doesn't want to pay for it himself, so he recruits people to join the group.
"This is how I'll take on this project, so don't look for others. You can be the director, and Xu Zheng plays He Sanshui..."
Yang Qing was delighted: "That's great, when will the photo be taken?"
"You first improve the logic of the script. I have no schedule this year, so I will have to start filming next year."
Most importantly, there is no 3 million on the Orange Image on the books...
...
Yang Qing left, Lu Xiaoran sat in the office, silent for a long time...
He was thinking about Xu Zheng’s words: A low-cost comedy like this is still very interesting.
Since he thinks it's a big deal, why not invest?
It should be a release issue!
"Don't think about it. "Nightclub" was later handed over to Chengtian for release. The production cost of 2.6 million yuan was exchanged for a box office of 13 million yuan! It became Chengtian's only money-making movie!"
“…Is it starring Xu Zheng?”
"It's him..."
"Then do you think I want to invest?"
"Of course you should invest. It's better to bring China Film and Ma, and then Huang Bo. If you three act together, you can get 20 million in the box office..."
“It’s the box office again…”
"What? Talk about money is vulgar?"
"…No, I'll ask Zeng Guangxian about the situation."
"You must remember that commercial movies first meet the audience's spiritual needs, not the expression of personal desires! The market is the standard for testing the success of a commercial movie!"
Lu Xiaoran was suddenly stunned...
I really didn’t expect that a person who wrote online can even say such profound words!
The public opinion nowadays is like this: either you can do what Ning Hao is like, just him can play "Stone", or you can follow the style of New Wave...
The so-called New Wave is the sixth generation of people.
Feng Xiaogang was really overwhelmed by public opinion back then. His peers looked down on him. He could watch "Life Online". It was captured on a day when Feng Xiaogang was in 2000. There was a time when he attended a director's meeting. Almost all directors put disgust and contempt on their faces, and they just said directly, "What are you pretending to be? Isn't it just a couple of box offices?"
Lu Xiaoran's "Border Storm", why I chose this film because it is high-end, not a simple entertainment film...
"Nightclub" is a very pure entertainment type.
Pure entertainment types are called commercial films!
Is there anything wrong with commercial films pursuing box office?
What do you tell me about most of Zhou Xingxing’s movies?
There is a Mao’s request to make the audience happy!
...
Zeng Guangxian came over:
"You have finally gotten off. In the past two months, you have to participate in more business activities."
“…I still have to stare at the late stage of “Border”.”
Zeng Guangxian didn't say nonsense and said directly: "We want to invest 2 million in "Snow Leopard", and currently only 1.4 million in the account..."
"How many? Where did 1.4 million come from?"
"The first account of "The Hidden" has been settled..."
The central mother bought "The Hidden" and Dongyang Qingyu immediately paid the account.
"Zhang Hongzhen is so generous?"
"…They also want to join "Snow Leopard" and be the second producer!"
"He...what did they know about "Snow Leopard"?"
Zeng Guangxian smiled: "Do you think your actions are very secret?"
After "Struggle", Lu Xiaoran has become a hot commodity...
Especially when I found out that the screenwriter of "The Hidden" was him, who could write and act, and he was also a director and a versatile talent!
Zhang Hongzhen was very concerned about him and knew that he had tinkered with the anti-Japanese war drama "Snow Leopard" and joined forces with Yu Rongguang. Of course, he wanted to get a share of the pie...
"I heard from Mr. Yu that the producers of "Snow Leopard" are already full, so it should be impossible to absorb external investment again, right?"
Zeng Guangxian nodded: "Well, Yu Rongguang is very sensible in his work. The producers of "Snow Leopard" include Hai Run and several TV stations..."
"Electric...TV station?"
"Of course, "Snow Leopard" will definitely be broadcast on the satellite, and of course it will absorb investment from the TV station!"
"...I said, how could he be on every show? He really... knows how to be a human being!"
"The remaining funds are all drawn from commissions."
"Trial?"
Chapter completed!
