Chapter 564: People need trust the most in the face of adversity

"It's average, but it's a good idea for you to change!" Uncle Gao Qun took off his reading glasses and sighed.

Then he looked at He Xin, who was sitting opposite, with some confusion, and asked, "What do you mean by asking me to come over today, you want me to help you get the script?"

"Not only the script, but I also want to ask you to direct this play. He Xin said with a smile.

"Yo, you really look up to me, aren't you afraid that I'll mess up?" Uncle Gao Qun laughed dryly.

If you want to say who is the fastest domestic director, he must be the number one. When he collaborated with He Xin on "Conquest", he was still called "the one who made documentaries" in the circle.

But since "Conquest" became popular, he has filmed several hit TV series in a row and has become a first-line director. After that, he transformed into a movie, although he didn't get his breath for two years after a difficult birth of "Tokyo Trial", but as a movie with a main theme, the response after its release was still good, and it won the special jury award at the Changchun Film Festival last year. At the same time, it also established his status as a film director in the circle.

"Brother Gao, I'm not joking with you. ”

Of course, Uncle Gao Qun knew that He Xin was not joking with him, but he said with a sad face: "Xiao He, I am already preparing a project at hand now, I'm afraid it will ......."

"What project?" He Xin hurriedly asked.

The news caught him by surprise.

"Four famous catches!"

"Hey, are you going to transform into a martial arts movie?"

This is a true story, there is a professional criminal police team in the southwest that pursues fugitives, and in six years thousands of fugitives have been brought to justice, known as the 'Four Famous Arrests'! Let me tell you, all four of them are not ordinary......

Uncle Gao Qun introduced to him some of the deeds known as the "Four Famous Arrests" in this professional criminal police team, and then introduced his almost complete script synopsis and character settings to him.

The more He Xin listened, the more familiar he felt, especially when he heard the duel between the last four people and the two killers, he suddenly remembered that this was not the "West Wind Spirit" he had seen in his previous life!

At that time, he watched this film purely for Lao Duan, who was very popular at that time because of the popularity of "My Leader, My Group". It's just that after watching this so-called first western film in China, his first feeling at that time was quite disappointed.

Not to mention the four male protagonists at the beginning of the horse chasing fugitives, people feel that they are imitating Hollywood Westerns at first glance, but don't make a mistake, most of Hollywood's stories of Westerns with horses and guns took place seventy, eighty or even a hundred years ago, and the traces of imitation are very heavy, and there is obviously a suspicion of deliberate coercion.

What's even more embarrassing is that the whole film is full of advertisements that seem to be called diarrhea, an empty and abandoned town, and there is actually a brand-new huge advertisement erected on the side of the road, which is simply heartbreaking.

In the end, Lao Gao looked at him with a wink of small eyes and said: "Xiaohe, in fact, if you don't look for me this time, I still want to look for you! Don't you always want to play a policeman, I think the male number one here is especially suitable for you." ”

"Uh, don't, Brother Gao, I've already played a policeman, "I'm Not a Hero"!"

He Xin has no interest in this kind of film that deliberately imitates Hollywood Westerns.

As he spoke, he didn't care what Uncle Gao Qun had any projects, and directly put up two fingers and said, "Brother Gao, we are ready to invest this amount in this project!"

"Twenty million? Xiaohe, you're making it big!"

Uncle Gao Qun subconsciously exclaimed, the current Uncle Gao Qun is not Uncle Gao Qun after filming "The Wind". The first time he tested the waters of the movie, when he was filming "Tokyo Trial", he encountered divestment, all kinds of tearing between investors, and all kinds of bullshit to Bo Gongtang. Although later, when he paid out of his own pocket, the movie was completed and gained a good reputation, but he still lost all his money at the box office. A thousand books

And although he signed a contract with Huayi Brothers, if he wants to make a movie, he has to find a project by himself, and it depends on whether the company will give him money. Otherwise, you have to go back to your old job to make TV series.

Lao Gao really wanted to say to He Xin: Xiao He, 20 million of you'll invest in my "Four Famous Catches"!

Obviously, this is unrealistic, not to mention that the suspense theme of "The Wind" that He Xin showed him is very much in line with his appetite.

Just when he was still hesitating, he heard He Xin ask again: "Brother Gao, does your project have eyebrows?"

"Uh......"

Uncle Gao Qun was really difficult to talk about for a while.

It should be said that Lao Gao is still more thoughtful, since he began to prepare for the project "Four Famous Catches", he didn't want to make it a traditional detective film, but to revolve around the competition, putting in a lot of fists and kicks, flying cars, chases, explosions and other stunt scenes. In this way, the investment is bound to reach the level of 20 or 30 million.

But it is still quite difficult for him to attract so much investment, at least so far, he has eaten a lot of closed doors, including the Huayi brothers who signed with him.

On the one hand, the company is already preparing to launch a suspenseful film "Li Mi's Conjecture" directed by Cao Baoping this year. Moreover, this literary film with little investment, the company's positioning from the beginning is intended to be forced, and it is not demanding at the box office.

On the other hand, with Huayi's consistent virtue, in the field of commercial films, in addition to pants directors, they trust directors from Hong Kong and Taiwan more. As for Lao Gao, the filming of TV series is still successful, and the movie is good, and the company has no resources to tilt towards him for the time being.

He Xin understood at a glance. After the explosion of "Conquest", he and Lao Gao were both beneficiaries, and Lao Gao was still very beautiful in the first two years, but it was not that he was a little silent in the past two years. In addition, the movie is not a TV series, and he is not a national teacher, pants and director Chen, there are too many uncertainties, and it is normal that it does not go well.

At this time, he also roughly understood why this "West Wind Spirit" in the original time and space was only available two years after the release of "The Wind". After the success of "The Wind", Lao Gao already had enough capital.

"Brother Gao, why don't you put aside the project you have at hand and help me operate the project "The Wind" first?" He Xin said sincerely.

"This ...... Are you in a hurry with this project?"

Uncle Gao Qun was still a little hesitant and asked.

"It's not in a hurry, I plan to start shooting in the second half of next year. It's just that I haven't gotten this script yet......" He Xin looked at him in embarrassment.

"I see that your script outline and character settings have been changed very well, wouldn't it be better to find a few screenwriters to enrich it!"

"Well, I still think it's a bit unreliable. Brother Gao, it's still you to help me figure it out, this kind of suspense theme, I trust you the most. He Xindao.

Although he has no impression of who the screenwriter of the original "The Wind" is, Lao Gao is one of the directors after all, and there must be Lao Gao's factor from the script to the movie. Like "Latent", he still hopes to restore the original flavor as much as possible after avoiding some obvious flaws.

What's more, Lao Gao was originally a top student of the Department of Journalism of Hebei University, and he has been studying various suspense themes all year round, and he believes that Lao Gao is more reliable than professional screenwriters outside.

Lao Gao pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "The script is fine, you let me think about other things first." ”

To put it bluntly, he still can't let go of his "Four Famous Catches", after all, the idea of this book from the beginning is his, not a proposition essay like "The Wind".

"No problem, I'll give you half a year to consider, as long as you give me an answer before the end of the year. He Xin said with a smile.

Lao Gao heard He Xin's words somewhat imperatively, and his heart was inevitably a little moved. After all, in the face of adversity, what people often need most is a sense of trust.
