Pages 2, 3, 4, 5678......

Zhou Mu flipped through more than 20 pages, and simply turned directly to the end, and found that a thick pile of drawings was actually all kinds of post-apocalyptic pictures.

He also admits that purely from the perspective of picture composition and brushwork, the level of Cui Ji's drawings is not low, and they are also full of artistry.

Here's the problem......

"What about the plot?"

Zhou Mu asked in a deep voice: "Don't tell me, you just painted these...... I don't know what it's called, but let's call it a landscape painting or a design draft. ”

"What about the plot?"

He said seriously: "Lao Cui, a painting without a plot is not a comic." With these drawings alone, you can't be called a cartoonist, you can only be considered an illustrator. ”

"Uh-huh. ”

Yu Nian ate barbecue and drank wine, and nodded again and again.

"Plot...... Absolutely. Cui Ji said confidently: "It's just that I didn't think about it." ”

God didn't think about it......

Zhou Mu couldn't cry or laugh, he was speechless. A person who won the best screenplay, when he drew a comic, actually had no idea about the plot.

"Are you serious?" Zhou Mu couldn't understand.

"Dead Wenqing, it's really hypocritical!" Yu Nian hit the nail on the head, "In fact, he just wanted to think about a story that has connotation and is very refreshing." ”

Over the years, he has had a lot of ideas, but when he started writing, he was rejected by himself. These vetoed ideas became the script of the movie. ”

Yu Nian chewed the barbecue and complained, "When the movie was a big hit, he regretted such a good idea, how could it be written into a script?"

"Anyway, it's like this loop tangled ......"

He calculated, counted, turned his head and asked, "Old Cui, how many years have you been struggling?"

"Get out!"

Cui Ji was furious, "Tell you, I already have an idea, this time...... Absolutely never pull the crotch. ”

"Tell me about it?"

Yu Nian drank casually and threw the empty cans into the trash by the way.

“...... If you look at the pictures, you will know that I am going to paint the end of the world. Cui Ji smoked the skewers and pointed at the country, "This is a wasteland comic, do you understand?"

"I knew you were talking nonsense. ”

Yu Nian rolled his eyes, "The plot, what is the plot? Even if there is no plot, let's have a setting." Like, what caused the end of the world?"

"Yes, set. ”

Cui Ji didn't blink his eyes, and he opened his mouth to come, "Asteroid attack? Taitu...... That human beings are overexploited, and they consume resources without control, which is too bad...... Alien invasion? too common...... Hey, have we destroyed the world so many times?"

He scratched his head and said in distress: "You help me think about how to destroy the world, which is more innovative?"

“......”

Whether it was Zhou Mu or Yu Nian, he suddenly stopped squeaking.

Novelty, how can it be so easy.

It takes brainstorming.

It's hard!

The three of them stared widely, the air became quiet, and the scene was embarrassing for a while.

At this moment, in Yu Nian's arms, there was a ringing of the mobile phone. This is the most personal of his three personal phones.

Only this mobile phone is what he carries with him. He didn't bother to bring other official mobile phones, as well as two personal business mobile phones, and put them in the company for his assistant to keep them. The person who knows his private mobile phone number is either a cronie or an important existence.

So he didn't delay, he took out his mobile phone directly and walked into the quiet room to answer. But after a while, he walked back and looked at Zhou Mu strangely......

"What's wrong?"

Zhou Mu touched his face, did he eat dust?

Yu Nian asked, "Do you know who called just now?"

"Professor Chen?" Zhou Mu was careless.

“......”

Yu Nian glared, "I'm not kidding you, it's Jiang Zi." ”

"Who is this?"

Zhou Mu was stunned, vaguely feeling that the name seemed a little familiar, but he couldn't remember it for a while.

"Wow. ”

Cui Ji was surprised: "Chairman of the Mantianxing Jury?"

"Yes. ”

Yu Nian nodded, smiling playfully, "He called, just to ask me if I knew someone's whereabouts." If you know, ask me to tell someone that you must attend the Starry Sky Awards Ceremony and have a surprise. ”

"Looking for you?"

Cui Ji looked at Zhou Mu, "You were shortlisted for two movies last year?"

"Probably so. Zhou Mu wasn't sure, "Sister Hong seems to have told me about this, but I didn't pay attention to it at the time." ”

"Not only did I get shortlisted, but I also had to win the rhythm of the award. Yu Nian said.

Zhou Mu's eyes lit up, "What award, best director?"

"What do you want?" Yu Nian said angrily: "Jiang hinted at me just now, it should be the New Director Award." ”

"New director?"

Zhou Mu was stunned, "Is there such an award, it didn't seem to be last year." ”

Cui Ji hurriedly explained, "This award is not permanent, it is mainly to encourage those young new directors who are young and have achievements." ”

"A few years ago, Lao Yu made a short film and got it once. ”

Cui Ji sighed, "Now it's your turn...... But think about it, there weren't many new directors coming up last year, and the award must be yours. ”

"Not the problem. ”

Yu Nian sneered: "Don't you think it's strange Lao Cui, the chairman of the jury is actually looking for people all over the world, as if someone will not attend the ceremony, so anxious......"

"What the hell are you doing?"

There was also a bit of confusion in his eyes, "Jiang himself is also a big man in the industry, so he is giving you face like this?

"That's right. ”

Cui Ji realized later, "Could it be that you have made some earth-shattering poems and articles that have triggered a frenzy of public opinion?"

"Not really. ”

Zhou Mu shook his head, with a blank expression, "I didn't do anything, the recent period is nothing more than making movies and roadshows......

"Yes, movies. ”

Cui Ji took the opportunity to ask: "Has your movie been released, how are the results?" Lao Yu said, although your movie is more spoofed, but the main line is complete, and if it is filmed and released, the box office should be hundreds of millions, and it will not lose money......

Zhou Mu nodded and wrote lightly: "Yes, there is no loss." ”

"What's the box office?" asked Cui Ji again.

"Not much ......"

Zhou Mu became more and more casual, "It's about three billion." ”

"Oh, three...... Poof!" Triggie took a sip of beer, wiped his mouth, and his eyes widened, "How much did you just say?"

"Three and two billion. ”

Zhou Mu said leisurely: "Anyway, when I was on a plane yesterday, it was about this number." As for now, I don't know how much, maybe three billion or three billion. ”

“...... Three and three billion?"

Cui Ji was dumbfounded, "You want to go to heaven?"

"Or ......"

He didn't believe it, "Are you kidding us?"

"Lao Yu, Lao Yu ......"

Cui Ji called out, ready to let Yu Nian criticize Zhou Mu with him.

"What's it called, I'll ask the assistant to send me a message. Yu Nian was very calm, his mobile phone was disconnected, and he could only make calls and receive text messages.

After a while, the assistant replied, Yu Nian glanced at it, threw the phone to Cui Ji, and pointed at Zhou Mu's nose and scolded with a smile, "I said how kind you came to see us, you dare to pretend to be like." ”

“...... Damn, really. ”

Cui Ji was taken aback, and then he and Yu Nian shared the same hatred, and said, "Don't say anything, beat this kid first, let him know what it is...... Respect for seniors. ”

Zhou Mu slipped away in advance, dodged with a smile, and ran wildly in the night wind...... It's none of my business, it's you who want to ask, so I can't lie. Besides, Lao Yu's movie, with a box office of 4 billion, I am still far behind. ”

"Qubble, what is my cost, and what is your cost?" Yu Nian chased and killed at the same time, but he did not feel emotion in his heart.

The back wave pushes the front wave, and the front wave is even more wave.

"I don't want to either, who knew everyone liked it so much, and the box office exploded...... Hey, you two combined, people over seventy years old, don't be so naïve, okay. ”

Zhou Mu is still teasing.

When Yu Nian and Cui Ji heard this, they resolutely couldn't bear it.

At that moment, after chasing for two minutes, Zhou Mu was thrown down on the sand pile, and let him try the most primitive wind and sand bath, and then he stopped.

"Inhuman ......"

After tossing for a few minutes, the three of them returned to the courtyard.

At this time, the night feast was almost over, and the villagers packed up their things and went home in twos and threes, and the bonfire was still burning.

There were still a few cans of beer left, and the three of them simply continued to drink each other.

Yu Nian suddenly realized, "No wonder Jiang Zi didn't let you attend the ceremony." With you participating, the starry sky will definitely add a lot of color. ”

"Didn't I call you?" Zhou Mu pouted: "You have a box office of 4 billion yuan during the New Year's Day schedule, and even the results of several blockbusters in the New Year file are not as high as yours." The strength of the great director is undoubtedly demonstrated. Jiang himself ignores me, and it is impossible to ignore you. ”

"Hey, Hey, ......"

Cui Ji expressed his dissatisfaction, "The two great directors, you want to blow each other, please go to the house, don't delay me from drinking." ”

"Hey, hey!"

The two looked at each other and immediately toasted Cui Ji.

"But your movie won such a high box office, which really surprised me. Yu Nian took a sip of wine and didn't hide it, "I read the script and think it's quite interesting." I didn't expect the audience to like it so much. ”

"Hmm. ”

Zhou Mu also agreed, "In my imagination, the movie has a volume of one billion, and it is satisfied." But the market gave me a big surprise. ”

"The market reaction, the audience's taste, is ever-changing. ”

Cui Ji felt normal, "If I write a script like this, I think the audience must like it very much." As a result, he was slapped in the face. Then, after writing a few blindly, the audience actually applauded, and there was no place to reason. ”

"yes. ”

The changes in the market, the preferences of the audience, are changing rapidly. No one can guarantee that what they create, they will buy it.

After complaining for a moment, Yu Nian's expression was certain, and he suddenly thought of something, "Mo Huaixuan's movie, is it released?"

"Zhang Bo biopic?"

Cui Ji was also quite curious, "If it weren't for the remoteness of this place, the nearest county movie theater would be a three-hour walk, and there might not be any new movies released, I would definitely go to see it." ”

"After all......"

He misses it a little, "The first long book I read in my life was Zhang Bo's floating clouds." ”

He pounced. "Zhou Mu didn't sell it.

"What?"

The other two looked shocked.

"Zhang Bo", a box office failure. Mo Huaixuan, what Qianfu refers to. ”

Zhou Mu said succinctly, "When I came over, the movie had only been released for a few days, and the single-day box office was only about 80 million. ”

“......”

The other two were silent.

Instead of gloating, they were a little dazed.

"This ......"

Cui Ji's brows were like locks, "Why? Mo Huaixuan has a bad temper and is extraordinarily arrogant, and there is no one in his eyes...... But he's not bad. Besides, there is also Director Zhang Huang, who has laid a solid foundation for him, why did he mess up?"

"It's hard to say. ”

Zhou Mu shook his head, "I haven't seen the movie, I can't tell the reason......

He had speculation, but speculation was only speculation after all. Whether this is the case or not, he is not sure.

"Let's go!"

Caught off guard, Yu Nian stood up.

"Huh?"

Zhou Mu and Cui Ji were stunned, "Where are you going?"

"Watch a movie. ”

Yu Nian walked into the house, packed up his things and came out.

Zhou Mu raised his head and looked at the bright starry sky, "Now?"

"What are you crazy about?" Cui Ji also shouted, "It's a big night, a radius of hundreds of miles, it's either a desert or the Gobi, where is there a movie for you?"

"Then go to a place where there are movies. ”

Yu Nian walked to the corner and led the camel out.

“......”

The two of them were speechless, suspecting that Yu Nian was drunk. But the two of them couldn't hold back the reckless man who drank and went crazy.

They had no choice but to apologize and call two herdsmen to lead the way.

A group of several people wore stars and moons, spent two or three hours, blowing the evening breeze, and ate a lot of wind and sand, and finally arrived at the county seat.

Then chartered a bus from the county seat to the big city, at this time it was already early in the morning, and the only two theaters had the midnight show of "Zhang Bo".

The three of them bought tickets to go in, and there was no one else but them.

Chartered, magnanimous.

Cui Ji bought drinks, snacks and the like.

Before I opened the package, the movie started directly.

The opening scene is a long shot, which takes four or five minutes, from the majestic city gate to the city.

Government offices, shops, docks, residences, ......

The lively streets and alleys, the prosperous scene, are very vivid and full of vitality.

Suddenly, Yu Nian spoke, "It's a mistake." ”

“...... How so?"

Trigi's gaze was cast.

"You shouldn't shoot like that. ”

Zhou Mu echoed: "At the beginning of the script, it should be two innocent children, playing in the ancient alleys, and then leading to the bustling market life. ”

"...... right"

Yu Nian read the script and nodded lightly, "This opening formulated by Director Zhang Huang is the appearance of all beings in the market, which is definitely not messy, but exquisite." ”

"To put it bluntly, it is through group portrait painting, so that everyone is immersed in the scene, and they are suddenly substituted into the times. ”

Yu Nian frowned, "Mo Huaixuan doesn't know if he doesn't understand, or if he deliberately went against Director Zhang Huang, and actually shot these pictures from a top-down angle." ”

Although this long-shot panorama encompasses the entire prosperous city, it creates a sense of separation from the audience. ”

Yu Nian calmly analyzed, "Ancient and modern times are different, and the most difficult thing to shoot costume dramas is the sense of substitution, so that the audience can integrate into it." ”

He is good, afraid that the audience will be too substituent, so he has to use the fragmented lens to let everyone know clearly that this is ancient, which is completely different from modern times, and everyone is always in advance, don't indulge it. ”

“......”
