Huaxin Brothers Company has gradually fallen into silence since "This Man is from Earth" became popular.

Forrest conscientiously helps Lu Yuan take care of the company, and every other week will gather some of the company's latest news and arrangements.

In the past half a year, the company has basically acted as an agent for some Chinese word-of-mouth literary films, as well as some action movies.

Although there is no good performance at the box office, it can basically maintain the level of making money.

In half a year, the company brought more than $2 million in revenue to Lu Yuan.

More than 2 million US dollars, equivalent to more than 10 million yuan, is already a very good level.

After watching the company gradually make a profit and come back to life, Forrest's mind suddenly became active.

The flame of directing has not been completely extinguished because of the previous failures, but has become more and more active.

These days, he has been reflecting on the reasons for his failures, while at the same time observing the film market these days.

Hollywood blockbusters are emerging one after another, and new people are constantly rising, and old people are surging.

In fact, there was a sense of eagerness in his heart again.

In the past few months, in addition to acting as an agent for Huaxia films and screenings, he has been pondering a horror script called "Photography Ghost".

American horror films were popular in previous years, but after the explosion of sci-fi blockbusters, the American horror film industry gradually stagnated, and although there are several horror films released throughout the year, the box office is basically average.

Even in the past two years, none of the horror films have been released in theaters, and even if they were released, they were not painted for a long time.

The box office was not ideal.

But Forrest doesn't think that's the market's reason.

Forrest feels that this is entirely due to the horror film itself.

Horror movies need a new way, not just plasma, simple screams......

Therefore, it is precisely because of this idea that he created a script for "The Ghost of Photography", and after many carvings, he felt that if this film could really be made, the box office would definitely not be too bad.

Although he was satisfied with his script, Forrest was still uneasy when he called his boss.

After all, I have a history of failure......

Will the boss give himself this chance?

Forrest was apprehensive.

"Forrest ...... You pass me the script and I'll see it. ”

"Oh, okay, boss, I'll send you an email?"

"Well, by the way, how much do you expect to invest?"

"Fifty...... No, more than 200,000!"

"An investment of more than $200,000?"

"Yes. ”

More than 200,000 US dollars, equivalent to more than 1 million yuan.

If Lu Yuan calculates, he thinks that this price is not expensive and acceptable.

However, after all, your money is not blown by the wind, no matter how little investment you say, you have to read the script, right?

If the script is written in a mess, then Lu Yuan will definitely not be willing to invest in filming.

After all, there are many box office blockbusters produced by Hollywood companies, but there are also many bad movies of the same kind.

It's just that the survivor effect makes everyone think that Hollywood movies are all awesome.

Although Lu Yuan watched "Killing Alien" with relish before, he looks back on it now......

This movie is absolutely typical of Hollywood bad movies that are not running.

"Yes, send me the script, I'll take a look at it first. ”

"Okay, thank you boss!"

After hearing that his boss was not unhappy, but his voice was very gentle, Forrest was in a good mood, and hurriedly sent the script of tens of thousands of words to his boss's mailbox, and then he waited nervously for his boss's review after sending it.

Lu Yuan opened the mailbox and read it silently from the beginning after seeing the script called "The Ghost of Photography......

Lu Yuan originally thought it was an English script, but Forrest was very careful and got himself a Chinese script.

The Chinese script Lu Yuan seems to be unimpeded at the time.

But halfway through it, Lu Yuan was stunned!

This "Photography Ghost" is very similar to the "Ghost Shadow" that Lu Yuan watched a long time ago, although the plot is slightly different, but the techniques and creativity that will be used in it are not far from "Ghost Shadow".

Of course, although this script is good, in Lu Yuan's opinion, there is still a gap between it and "Ghost Shadow".

It seems that there are a lot of flaws, and there are a lot of plots that Lu Yuan doesn't seem to need......

After reading it, Lu Yuan shook his head and downloaded the script to the computer, opened it in WORD, and revised it according to the description in "Ghost Shadow".

I don't know why, Lu Yuan was dazzled when he read English before, but when Lu Yuan watched the script revision, his brain was very good, and he was not sleepy at the same time.

It's just that when he thought of some of the plots in "Ghost Shadow", Lu Yuan panicked, especially in the middle of the night, from time to time there were gusts of wind blowing from afar, like some frightening sounds in the movie.

In this world, it should be ......

There are no ghosts, right?

Lu Yuan shuddered, and then when he revised the script, he found that he felt more and more.

At about three o'clock in the morning, Lu Yuan sent the revised script to Forrest through email.

He stretched when he was done.

Then looked at the time.

Groove ......

Why did you stay up late again?

was so frightened that Lu Yuan lay on the bed without saying a word.

It's just that when Lu Yuan lay on the bed, he found that as soon as he closed his eyes, the plot in the script echoed in his mind.

And then......

He felt like he might be losing sleep.

……………………………………

3 a.m. China time, 11 p.m. U.S. time.

After lunch, Forrest looked at the script sent by Lu Yuan.

"This, this...... Oh my God, boss, you...... Did you change all my script?"

When Forrest opened the script, he froze instantly.

The name of the script is still the same name, but the content in the script has been changed by his own boss.

In addition to retaining some of the names of the protagonists in his script and some general locations, the main story line has completely changed.

"This ...... What are these things?"

When he saw what was marked on both sides of the script, Forrest was stunned.

He suddenly found that the script was marked with countless shooting techniques and precautions, and when it came to the key plot, his boss also specially marked some framing and other suggestions in the script.

After reading it, Forrest was speechless in surprise.

Then when he looked back, he found that the script he had written was compared with his boss's script......

It's two concepts entirely.

It can't be compared to the revised script at all.

He was suddenly hit by Lu Yuan.

I have worked hard to write a script for so long, and I think it is a good script.

But the boss ......

The boss just casually changed it, and it turned into another script entirely.

This......

Am I really not fit to write a screenplay?

Or even that I'm really not fit to be a director?

This moment......

Forrest found himself suddenly at a loss.

……………………………………

The next day, Lu Yuan really lost his spirit.

After getting up, I basically yawned and walked towards the crew.

He didn't sleep all night, and after being introduced by the "Photography Ghost", the horror movies in Lu Yuan's mind poured out like a tide in an instant......

For example, "The Shining", such as "The Old Corpse of the Mountain Village", such as "Curse Series", ......

The psychological shadow of the former childhood seemed to have completely exploded, and the hot day made Lu Yuan scare himself by wrapping himself in the quilt.

When the morning sun rose, Lu Yuan felt a lot more comfortable.

He reminded himself that there are no ghosts in this world and there can be no ghosts.

Of course, because of the relationship between himself and himself last night, there will always be a lot of low-level mistakes when Lu Yuan is shooting, and even Lu Yuan himself can't stand it.

But fortunately, the plot filmed today is not the highlight, the highlight is Qin Ya and Xu Lu.

Lu Yuan could still steal a moment of leisure, and directly threw all the work to Li Qi, and he went back to the house early to catch up on sleep.

It's just that......

Lu Yuan didn't make up for sleep for a long time, and then the phone rang again.

This time the phone was opened by Wei Fatzi.

Lu Yuan yawned and answered the phone.

"What's wrong?"

"Ah Yuan...... Qian Zhong and I have finished the script of the new movie and sent it to your mailbox, you can take a look......"

"Oh, what a ......"

"Ah Yuan...... Can you see it earlier, I want to shoot it early. ”

"Row ......"

Lu Yuan yawned in a daze, and then looked at the script on the mailbox.

The name of this script is "You at the Table".

Lu Yuan was stunned.

What's that?

"You at the Table"?

Lu Yuan shook his head suddenly, wiped his eyes and looked at it again.

He thought he was too tired yesterday to see the mistake.

When he watched it for the second time, Lu Yuan found that the name of the script was correct.

It's still "You at the Same Table"......

Lu Yuan subconsciously clicked on it and looked at the script......

After reading it.

Lu Yuan was a little stunned.

It's not because this script is very similar to "You at the Same Table" in my memory, and it's not because of other reasons, but because this script actually makes Lu Yuan feel like he was back when he was a student.

To be honest, Lu Yuan feels that this script is even better than the original world's "You at the Same Table......

This script made Lu Yuan very amazing!

It seems that this Qian Zhong is really a talent!

"Hey ......"

"Ah Yuan, how is it?"

"You two figured out this script?"

"yes, it's really the two of us who figured it out, what do you think?"

"Really?" Lu Yuan narrowed his eyes.

"Ahem, ahem...... In fact, Qian Zhong figured it out, I ...... Only responsible for supervising ...... Well, right, overseer...... Uh, okay...... This script was completed by Qian Zhong first, but I asked An Hui, a big screenwriter on Taiwan Island, to revise it again......" On the other end of the phone, Wei Fatzi replied embarrassedly as if he had been poked in the heart.

"How much did the modification cost?"

"No money...... After all, my title as the best director is quite bluffing...... Miss An Hui was happy to help us change the script......"

"Really, fake?" Lu Yuan felt more and more unbelieving the more he listened.

"Okay...... In fact...... I spent a signed photo of you to make some deals with An Hui, Ah Yuan...... Hui is your fan......"

"......" Lu Yuan didn't know what to say.

My signature photo can now be used as a transaction tool?

"Ah Yuan, although the process is a little tortuous, the script is still good......"

"Okay, okay, how much investment do you want?"

"Two million?" Wei asked tentatively.

"What? two million!" Lu Yuan was stunned, two million can be shot?

This is not "This Man Is From Earth".

This blind shooting will ruin the script.

"Ahem, ahem...... In fact, if you are tighter, you can shoot it for 1.5 million......" Wei Fat on the other end of the phone was stunned, and then his voice was weak.

He thought Lu Yuan was unwilling.

After all, Lu Yuan's movies have always been small-cost and big-box office.

Million......

Make a youth movie.

Seem......

Is it really a little higher?

"I'll give you four million!"

"What? Four million? Ah Yuan, the sun is coming out in the west today......? Ah Yuan, you are such a picky person...... cough, cough ......" Wei Fat Man was not surprised when he heard the four million, but was stupid.

"What do you mean?" Lu Yuan, who was originally in a good mood, was in a bad mood in an instant.

"No, it doesn't mean anything...... By the way, there is one more request I can make besides this?"

"What requirements?"

"What's that...... Write a song for a movie......"
