Things are afraid of contrasts.

When Tang Fengxiang opened his mouth to invite Peng Xiangming to act in the movie just now, how enthusiastic and touted everyone was, how hurtful the silence at this time was.

They have been mixed up in this circle for a long time, they are all human spirits, and no one will question anything, but Peng Xiangming confidently said that he wanted to direct a work by himself, but everyone felt that they couldn't agree.

This is contrary to the most basic judgment of their hearts.

Fortunately, with Cheng Yu's words, Peng Xiangming doesn't have to be so embarrassed for the time being.

But after thinking about it, he could only reply: "My script hasn't been decided yet, maybe ...... It's not our traditional commercial film, or literary film or the like, it may not be too friendly to newcomers like Shunqing, and when the time comes, wait for the script to be set, and then see if there is a role suitable for Shunqing!"

Cheng Yu laughed, "Cheng!"

At this time, Tang Fengxiang became interested, "Do you have an idea, can you tell me about what you plan to shoot?"

Peng Xiangming hesitated when he heard this.

It's not that he can't say it, but the main thing is that he hasn't made up his mind yet.

One is that many of the stalks in the original movie are closely related to the American society, and there are a lot of Western doctrinal content, he has not yet thought about how to completely replace them with the core of Eastern culture after transplanting them to China, and the second is that he will actually worry that once it is replaced, the whole story will be completely changed, losing the spiritual core of the original version, and losing the reference and comparison of the original version...... No matter which version it is, he is afraid that the domestic audience will not buy it.

To be honest, he still has a little bit of artistic pursuit, but only if this pursuit can make money!

He is doing everything now, he can have pursuits, he can have feelings, but as long as he is sure that he can't make money, or if he can't make money, then he will put it all on hold.

It's great to succeed in this thing.

Money is a great thing.

The significance of a general equivalent is that it is also a general equivalent to measure a person's worth.

If she hadn't become an instant hit, she would soon become far richer, more connected, and even more powerful than Lao An, and she would have bowed down to herself and obeyed her words?

If it weren't for the fact that she quickly jumped up, became popular, and made money quickly, so that Liu Mi, a rich second-generation lady from a rich family, would have recognized that she had indeed succeeded, and that "it is normal for a man as successful as him to be attentive", would she really be so good at talking?

If she hadn't succeeded, even if Dai Xiaofei was still innocent and treated people with her calmness, she really thought that she would only meet her once and be "familiar" to this level? Everyone has been classmates for three years, can she not know that she is very handsome? Then why haven't you known each other for three years?

For some girls, having a face is enough to make them moths to the fire without regrets, but for those who have reached a certain level of vision, the skin is just the foundation.

The foundation must be good, but success, proven and measured by money, can be gilded into the skin.

Rich as a dragon, traveling all over the world, poor as a tiger, scattering three tribes and six relatives.

Because of success, Lao An acquiesced that he was a little man, and he was more capable than her.

Because of her success, Liumi acquiesced to the same wanton as her father and brother.

Or because of success, Dai Xiaofei defaulted to being on the same level as her.

To put it bluntly, everyone is right, and it has nothing to do with morality or anything, poverty and failure are the original sin in themselves - there is an experience of lying in a hospital bed for nine years in his last life, Peng Xiangming's understanding of this point is deeply rooted in the bone marrow.

............

After hesitating for a moment, Peng Xiangming still spoke: "I plan to shoot a few short stories and combine them into a big movie, these small stories are all interrelated, and three stories are temporarily set, two prologues at the beginning and end of the film, and an epilogue, which is considered six small paragraphs, respectively about a gang boss's subordinates, who were ordered to accompany the boss's young wife for one night, a boxer who played underground black boxing cheated the black boss for a sum of money and ran away, and a couple robbed a restaurant, the name of the movie...... For the time being, it's called "Vulgar". ”

Speaking of this, he emphasized a sentence and said: "Of course, I haven't decided whether I really want to shoot this! Because I'm not sure if the audience will accept it if I shoot like this, I'm afraid of losing money!"

The people who sat or stood in a circle were already stunned by this time.

No one spoke.

In fact, almost intuitively, at this time, everyone can think that Peng Xiangming has made two short films before, so out of caution and prudence, it is also familiar to make a few short films to combine them together to form a big movie - however, do you sell tickets?

Let the audience spend dozens of dollars to buy movie tickets, sit in the cinema, and watch the big movie you made with a few short films?

It's not like no one has played like this in the past, and several stories of other people are actually tightly strung together, but the results of that commercial film are not very good, and until now, only literary films have occasionally been tried, but the box office is basically not good.

At this time, Tang Fengxiang nodded slowly, "So...... Is it a gangster story?

"Uh......" Peng Xiangming thought for a moment and shook his head, "It's not a shootout, there aren't too many shots of shootouts." ”

Tang Fengxiang nodded slowly, "So...... You want to do something experimental......"

"Pretty much, it's experimental. ”

"Well, it's not that it can't be done at all!" After a pause, Tang Fengxiang asked: "Is it a plan or to get Dingdong to put it for free, or to enter the theater?"

"Cinema!"

Peng Xiangming replied without hesitation.

After a pause, he explained, "Because there may be some shots and story elements, which are restricted, involving products and the like, there is a high probability that they will be regarded as eighteen bans! ”

No one made a sound, and everyone looked at each other.

The first work of a rookie director is actually going to be banned on the eighteenth ...... If it's really a fun affair, it's not difficult to sell tickets. The problem is still involved......

This time, Tang Fengxiang also hesitated for a few seconds before nodding slowly, he didn't mention the subject matter and the eighteen prohibitions or anything like that, but said very seriously: "If you control the cost, it's not that you can't do it at all, but ...... The risk is a bit big!" After a pause, he asked, "Are you going to do it yourself, or do you want to make an investment?"

"Uh......"

Peng Xiangming thought for a while, and said a little helplessly: "I know that everyone wants me to make commercial films, preferably the kind of orthodox commercial films, but ...... Hey, anyway, I guess the investment is not easy to pull, if it doesn't work, I'll invest my own money, and I will try to control it within the investment of 60 million!"

Tang Fengxiang nodded and said slowly: "Sixty million...... It's a lot of pressure to return to your own cost! Are you acting on your own?"

"When the time comes, if it really doesn't work, I'll play a role! The main reason is that the script hasn't been decided yet, so everything I say now is just an idea. ”

Tang Fengxiang said: "If the cost is pressed again, it is best to get it with 30 million, and I can follow the investment at that time, and the issuance can also be handed over to me to do." But 60 million is too much pressure, and it takes nearly 200 million at the box office to recoup the cost. The key is now, you have proved your appeal in record sales, but after all, you have not proven your ability to sell tickets, so the first part, it is better to play smaller, once you lose it, the money is a trivial matter, and it hurts people's popularity!"

"Yes! yes, so I'm still thinking about it. ”

"Well, think about it, it's a good thing to have ideas, but you also have to take it step by step!"

"Oh, good!"

"That's it, you get yours first, and when your side is decided, we'll talk. ”

"Good!"

............

With Tang Fengxiang's departure, the small circle quickly dispersed, Peng Xiangming greeted Zhao Jianyuan and Kong Quan, and said goodbye to Cheng Yu very formally before leaving.

Dai Xiaofei was surrounded by several star-chasing girls, so she had to watch Peng Xiangming leave.

However, before Peng Xiangming's car left the community, her phone chased over, "Don't you talk and don't talk about it, didn't you say that you should eat mutton together? Where are you going, wait for me." ”

The car was just about to go out of the door, Peng Xiangming had no choice but to beckon, let the car stop on the side of the road after the car went out, turned around, and spread his hands at Zhao Jianyuan beside him.

Zhao Jianyuan sighed again and said, "Why don't you get out of the car, take her car, you go to eat, I really don't want to be a light bulb anymore! Go down and let the car send me and Lao Kong back." ”

So in the end, Peng Xiangming was actually kicked out of his business car, stood on the side of the road, and watched the car go away.

It was already dark, and there was a small cold wind that cut the bones, and it was cold and gloomy.

The weather forecast says there will be light snow today.

Fortunately, Dai Xiaofei's Mercedes-Benz drove over quickly, and the driver saw Peng Xiangming at the entrance of the community at a glance, and after stopping beside him, he quickly got out of the car and helped him pull the car door.

Peng Xiangming thanked him, bent down and sat in the back seat of the Mercedes-Benz S, and sighed, "Lao Zhao has something to do, so he drove me out of the car and let the car go to see him off first." ”

Dai Xiaofei laughed when she heard this, "You two have a very good relationship! ”

Peng Xiangming smiled, and before he could speak, the driver asked, "Miss, Mr. Peng, where are we going?"

Dai Xiaofei also rubbed her hands when she heard this, "Yes, where are you going to eat?"

So Peng Xiangming put away his interest in chatting and reported a place name.

The car set off quickly, the driver was very familiar with Yanjing City, and his driving skills were skilled, Peng Xiangming and Dai Xiaofei chatted in the car about some interpersonal relationships and small gossip at the cocktail party just now, and before they knew it, they arrived at the place.

The two got out of the car and went upstairs side by side.

This place to eat mutton was discovered by Peng Xiangming by chance.

The way to eat here is not as primitive and energetic as the way of eating in the mutton soup restaurant at the entrance of the film academy, but it also has a different flavor, and more importantly, the sheep at his home seems to be more particular, so the taste of the mutton is very good.

Of course, the consumer price is not cheap, and after eating a meal, it is basically at the level of six or seven hundred per capita, which is enough to eat ten meals at the sheep soup restaurant at the school gate.

Both of them brought masks and hats into the store, asked for a private seat with a partition in the corner, and waited until they had ordered something before they dared to take it off.

Dai Xiaofei asked: "Do you often come to eat? Aren't you afraid of being discovered? Have you ever been besieged?"

Peng Xiangming smiled and said, "Keep a low profile! It's worth it for the sake of delicious food!"

Dai Xiaofei covered her mouth and laughed.
