Chapter 184: Choosing a Script
"Damn, there are so many scripts!"
The cauldron looked at the folders on the table and couldn't help but explode.
Brother Wang was laughing there, and Zhou Xiao reluctantly picked up a cup of tea.
"Mr. Guo, do you know why our parents let us study?"
The cauldron looked at him puzzled.
"Let's just say that I have this tea in my hand," Zhou Xiao looked at the teacup: "The aroma is rich, the pieces of tender tea are like a bird's tongue, the soup is yellow and clear, the taste is fragrant and sweet, the blue waves ripple with a touch of fragrance, the tea is not intoxicating and everyone is drunk, but if you don't read, after drinking, it is, it's delicious!"
"Damn! ”
I didn't think that the cauldron didn't care at all, which made Zhou Xiao feel very uncomfortable when he fell short with all his strength.
Brother Wang laughed a few times, and he was accustomed to the two bosses hurting each other every day.
"Although I don't want to admit it, but what Zhou Xiao encountered this time, in the end, we still benefited a lot, the unscrupulous big V official account relies on stars to make money, but there is no bottom line, which makes many artists who have been injured angry, and also makes many people know you. ”
The documents in his hand, but it took a vote of people to screen for more than half a month to pick out the snowflake-like script, which is not an easy job.
Take TV series as an example, just the outline and story are at least 100,000 words, and the movie may be more, while watching, you have to preliminarily judge the quality of the script, whether it will hit the street, whether it is suitable for its own artists, whether the price is appropriate...
It doesn't matter if it's less.,More than 40 books came in in 20 days.,It's dizzy to read.。
"Next year you will have a movie, a TV series will be released, and there will be a fixed variety show, and the actual time it will take is at least 3-4 months. ”
Zhou Xiao nodded, agreeing with Brother Wang's statement, of course professional film coffee is good, but it does not conform to his and the company's current strategy, and he still blooms in many ways and walks on two legs.
"After screening, there are nine TVs here, four movie scripts, all TV series are male leads, and most of the movies are supporting roles," it is estimated that Zhou Xiao is afraid that he will think too much, and Brother Wang also specially explained: "Now many of the protagonists of the movie are characters with a certain amount of experience and are old, you are too young." ”
"Brother Wang, you continue. Zhou Xiao didn't care.
"Well, let's talk about the movie first," Brother Wang lined up four scripts in one line: ""European Raiders", "Fat Squad", these two scenes are relatively large, basically the second male protagonist and the male lead, and the company thinks it can be tried, you also know how popular the former strategy series is, the partner is still Tony Leung, and the effect will not be bad.
The latter part, although the director is Bao Bell, but he gives a lot of money, nine million salaries, and the role is divided equally between the two, the requirement is to dress up as a fat man, you just finished filming Wolf Warrior, and the action foundation is still there, so I recommend it.
Then there are two supporting roles.
"I Am Not the God of Medicine", starring Xu Zheng, if he didn't star in this, I wouldn't have taken it out. ”
"What's wrong?" Zhou Xiao became interested: "It's interesting to listen to the name, mythology? comedy?"
"The script alone is not a comedy, but it has a lot of depth, about leukemia patients. ”
"There is depth, you don't recommend it?" Zhou Xiao didn't understand.
"How many literary films have good box office? This kind of film is difficult to act, it is difficult to applaud, and it is even more difficult to get a seat. ”
"I see. ”
"There is another one with the theme of Journey to the West, I heard that the investment has reached more than 400 million, the protagonist Aaron Kwok, you are making a cameo role in it, and it is good to brush your face in a big production. ”
Brother Wang talked about the relevant information and opinions of the four film works.
"Well, it's all going to start filming next year, so I'll wait until I finish the script. ”
"Okay, but the audition for "Fat Squad" is in early February. Brother Wang reminded.
"Well, let's talk about the TV series. Zhou Xiao wrote it down.
Brother Wang stopped talking and looked at the cauldron.
"What's wrong?"
"What we are optimistic about is another costume drama!" Brother Wang's face was not very good-looking.
Zhou Xiao was dumbfounded, and understood what was going on: "I'm afraid there is no misunderstanding, I didn't say that I wouldn't shoot ancient costumes, and when I was choosing a drama last year, it was mainly a schedule conflict."
It's a very simple truth, cauldron, you are going to have lunch, steak, pork chops, you can only choose one, I choose steak, it doesn't mean that I don't like to eat pork chops. ”
The cauldron smashed his mouth, two kinds of food appeared in his mind, and his expression was very complicated: "I can eat two." ”
"Foodie!" Zhou Xiao scolded with a smile: "As long as the script is good, it's okay for you to let me play an alien, not to mention the ancient costumes, irrelevant, and besides, my ancient costumes seem to be pretty good." ”
"That's good. ”
Brother Wang was happy and filmed nine scripts into a long line.
Zhou Xiao protects his forehead, okay...
"Do you know if it should be green, fat, red and thin", "Jiang Ye", "Breaking the Sky", "Back to the Ming Dynasty as a Prince"... Nine scripts, seven are costumes and two are modern.
And the names are super familiar, they are all changed IPs of the fire, especially Dou Po, Zhou Xiao still remembers "Thirty years in Hedong, thirty years in Hexi, don't bully the poor youth", at that time, I was enthusiastic!
Unexpectedly, I actually had the opportunity to play Xiao Yan today, and the feeling I felt when I was a child seemed to come back all of a sudden.
Unlike before, Zhou Xiao directly picked up the script and began to study it.
Seeing that he was interested, the others stopped explaining more and whispered about other things.
Ten minutes,
Twenty minutes,
but a minute later,
Zhou Xiao's brows furrowed.
"What's wrong?" Brother Wang forgot to observe his expression while chatting.
"That's not right!" Zhou Xiao shook his head gently: "Although I read the book many years ago, this script is completely... It's a magic change!"
"It's normal, I really have to shoot according to the original book, these fantasy investments all have to be on par with Hollywood blockbusters, and the scripts are different!" Brother Wang helped explain.
"No, no, no, it has nothing to do with special effects for the time being," Zhou Xiao disagreed: "I'm talking about magic change, not proper modification, as a script, it will definitely not be exactly the same as the original work, and so on, considering the length, plot cohesion and other issues, I understand this, but the reader's requirements are really high, and I also have a pole in my heart." ”
Zhou Xiao thought about it.
"For example, does your daughter like to watch bears hang out?"
"Well, I like it!" Brother Wang nodded.
"If the bear infestation is tentatively a comic, and now it is adapted into a movie and released, Xiong Daxiong Er suddenly becomes a male and a female, or a husband and wife, what will your daughter think?"
Brother Wang was stunned for a long time, and finally held back a sentence: "It is estimated that the worldview will collapse." ”
Zhou Xiao snapped his fingers: "That's right, I just read the script, Han Feng is just a small role in the original book, one of Xiao Yan's stepping stones, but in it, he actually became the villain throughout the play, and he also became a teacher at Canaan Academy..."
Brother Wang's face twitched, he hadn't read the original book, but just according to the incomplete script, Zhou Xiao had already found several slots, and he was gradually said to have lost confidence.
Yes, the outline can be changed to make readers and fans complain, and the details are estimated to be even more unbearable, I'm afraid that if I don't shoot it, I will be scolded to death.
"Is it really that unbearable?" he asked weakly.
"It's okay during this time, I suggest you can go and see it, although it's a few years ago, it's still not outdated. ”
"I will, then you can look at something else. ”
Zhou Xiao sighed: "Forget it, I'm not in the mood for the time being, I'll take it back and choose it slowly, anyway, it's not in a hurry, you don't want to say that you decided in a hurry." ”
"Eun, you're right. ”
Bang Bang Bang!
The cauldron slapped its palms a few times.
"Yes, Zhou Xiao has gradually become assertive now, we are a company, the reason why we recruit so many people is to complement each other, a person cannot always be right, but also to listen to other people's opinions appropriately, grow together, the script let Zhou Xiao go back and read it slowly, after you have an idea, a few of you are chatting, and then move on to the next topic, let's have an annual meeting this year?"
After finishing speaking, he glanced at Zhou Xiao, who understood.
"What Mr. Guo means is that although our scale is a little smaller, the annual meeting of the annual meeting to increase the sense of belonging and cohesion of the team still needs to be whole, but I don't agree with it. ”
The cauldron was still laughing there, but after listening to it, it collapsed directly, brother, it's too faceless.
"There are only about 20 of us in total, and you can sit down at two tables, and everyone can't go up when you get out of the show. Zhou Xiao pretended not to see it: "When the time comes, it will be deserted, and the scene will be embarrassing, it is better to eat a big meal directly, save other expenses as welfare, or you can evaluate an excellent employee and send a big reward, which can start the same effect, the annual meeting you said, it is not too late to do it when the scale is large in the future." ”
After saying that, several other executives nodded their heads one after another.
"Mr. Guo, what do you say. ”
The cauldron smashed his mouth: "Huadou was finished by you, what else do I have to say, just do it!"
