Sure enough, two days later, when Zhu Mei called, she regretfully told Shen Huan that Wutong was unwilling to revise the script.

Since he was unwilling to revise it, Zhu Mei also returned the script and would not make this movie again.

Zhu Mei is not one of the five directors in Huaguo, but she is a relatively outstanding literary film director among the second-tier directors, and she still has a lot of appeal among a group of literary film fans.

As soon as she withdrew the script like this, Wutong was very unhappy, because it proved that Zhu Mei didn't like his script, and it was a blow to his reputation, especially the follow-up of selling the script.

Zhu Mei herself said that it was okay, but Shen Huan still heard a little regret about her.

Come back and listen to Shui Qingshan, Zhu Mei's life in the past two years has not been very good, because literary films are too unprofitable, and they often go to win an award, or after seeking capital protection, they can become popular with a few actors.

Zhu Mei is already a very good director of literary films, so far 7 film works have come out, 3 of which make money, 2 of which are capital preservation, 2 of which have small losses, and 9 male and female stars have been raised, although most of them are now second- and third-rate, but the reputation is very good.

With this reputation, film companies are willing to invest in her.

The "Paper Kite" she has completed so far is completed in this situation.

The budget-conscious Zhu Mei found a rookie actor and a senior middle-aged actress, who constituted the main actors of this movie.

From the beginning of the preparation to the completion of the production here, she only spent more than 5 million in total, which is very cheap.

But the subsequent "Flying Youth" was negotiated with Zhu Mei by a film company a long time ago, and Zhu Mei roughly agreed, but she didn't expect to push it off in the end, which not only made Wutong angry, but the film company was also very angry.

This film company is called "Toy Entertainment", and it is not very famous in itself, but their second shareholder is Xie Yang of Daqi Entertainment, one of the three major film giants, which is a bit troublesome.

Originally, Ding Lun called Shui Qingshan and said that he wanted Shui Qingshan to persuade Zhu Mei, but Zhu Mei still didn't listen after all.

The female director who makes literary films really has a temper!

Back at home, before Shen Huan had time to think about it, he heard the sound of "ding dong" again.

"Because of the weak chicken host's sideways, Zhu Mei is about to usher in the suppression of toy entertainment, so the host must assume its own responsibility. ”

"If the host can help Zhu Mei get through the difficult times, become famous, and become a famous literary film director, then the great system will give enough rewards. ”

Shen Huan listened to the good master's release task, and his first reaction was that there were ghosts.

Do you know that Aunt Mei will be embarrassed, so when you gave me the reward for "Straw Hat Song" before, she gave me the option to choose a classic movie?

Now I don't know why I want to use this movie to help Aunt May?

Good man, you're really scheming!

I also want to find a low-cost and high-investment commercial movie to take it out and make a fortune with others!

How can a good life be without money?

If I get a box office share of 3.5 billion yuan, I can lie down and play for the rest of my life!

Now that I want to help Aunt Mei, I can only choose literary movies!!

I'm a big loser!

Not to mention Shen Huan's grievances, not to mention that it was to be able to get a reward from a good master, but it was purely because of his own display and comments that this time caused Zhu Mei to push off "Flying Youth", so Shen Huan should indeed take a little responsibility.

In desperation, Shen Huan could only think about what kind of movie is suitable for today's Zhu Mei.

It's not that he can't choose commercial films, but Zhu Mei is definitely unwilling to make commercial films.

Give it to Zhu Mei, if she doesn't use it, wouldn't it be a waste of expression?

So Shen Huan can only be found in literary movies.

"I Am the God of Medicine"!?

Emmmmm......

This seems a little too far ahead of its time.

"Day and Night in Tin Shui Wai"!?

Well, this one's box office is too hit.

After Shen Huan thought about it for a while, he decided on a strategy.

First of all, the first point must be in line with literary and artistic tendencies, and no monetary interests should be involved.

The second point is that this movie can't be too sad, it's better to be joyful, so that it can be good at the box office.

The third point is that this movie must be very artistic, to put it bluntly, Bigg is very high, and it can shock people when it is taken out.

Otherwise, a literary film that does not win awards is not a good movie.

has been going through several Chinese literary and artistic movies from another world, and the movies of the first half of the national teacher must be counted, and Brother Kai's "Farewell My Concubine" is a generation of classics.

But then again, with Zhu Mei's current ability and level, she is too far behind the two masters, and giving her these difficult movies must be embarrassing her.

Therefore, I have to add a point, this movie can't be too difficult, let alone test the acting skills of the male and female protagonists too much - for example, "Farewell My Concubine", Zhang Fengyi, Ge You and Zhang Guorong, all of them are actor-level characters, all of them are Wang Bang! Otherwise, how could it be a classic?

Brother Kai was able to shoot "Farewell My Concubine", on the one hand, he is already a first-class director in the mainland, and on the other hand, the investor, that is, the proprietress of Tomson Yipin, is very well-connected in Xiangjiang, so she coaxed Zhang Guorong to come over, otherwise where could the three major actors appear at the same time?

Do you want Zhu Mei to go and ask Sun Dahe to take a look now? Let her go and ask Jin Weijie to take a look?

No one else will come!

Therefore, it is only necessary to reduce the difficulty and make the movie as simple as possible.

Shen Huan also has a choice for these movies.

"The Girl We Chased Together in Those Years", "Thirty-three Days of Broken Love", "Huajing Meets Seattle", "July and Ansheng" are all there.

It's just that if you think about it carefully, these movies are biased towards love, they belong to youth movies, and there is nothing to dig into in literature and art, which cannot meet the requirements of the good master to "make Zhu Mei famous".

In the end, after thinking about it, the smart Shen Huan still chose two movies that were more suitable for all the above conditions.

One is called "Sweet Honey", which is a super classic played by Li Shu and Zhang Yanyu.

The other is "Love Letter", which is the famous work of Japanese director Shunji Iwai, and it is a rare classic of pure love!

From an inner point of view, Shen Huan is of course inclined to "Sweet Honey", but the difficulty of "Sweet Honey" is too high and the investment is too great.

Li Shu and Zhang Yanyu are both at the level of actor and actress, and even the supporting role Zeng Zhiwei is also at the level of actor, it not only spans the 20 years of Xiangjiang, but also goes abroad to shoot.

The production cost of this part has to cost at least 20 million, not including the salary of the male and female protagonists.

Without an overall budget of 50 million, I'm afraid I won't be able to get it.

For a director of Zhu Mei's level, the difficulty of this amount of funds is too high.

So in the end, Shen Huan chose a generation of pure love classics - "Love Letter"!!
