Chapter 493: About Thai Embarrassment
The script of this "Nightclub" is very interesting, Luo Xun laughed a few times, no wonder Xu Zheng took the initiative to recommend it to himself, this future bigwig in the entertainment industry is too keen on the tactile judgment of drama-
Luo Xun is optimistic about this script.
So before he finished reading the script, Luo Xun directly replied to Xu Zheng that he could invest in this movie, which made Xu Zheng overjoyed: "I'll ask Yang Qing to call you now, if you have any requirements, you can tell him directly!"
Luo Xun agreed.
After a while, an unfamiliar phone call came in, and there was a slightly worried voice on the other side: "Hello, is it Teacher Luo Xun, my name is Yang Qing, and Brother Zheng asked me to call you." ”
"Hello. ”
Luo Xun smiled and said: "Your script is very interesting, I plan to invest, there is a role in it, you should have prepared it for Xu Zheng, I have to thank you for giving me the opportunity to work with him again." ”
"You're welcome!"
Yang Qing was probably the first time to contact a top celebrity like Luo Xun, so he showed that he was not good at words, but Luo Xun was quite good at dealing with people, and in a few words, Yang Qing relaxed a lot, and made an appointment to meet to discuss more detailed things.
After hanging up.
Luo Xun's smile became brighter and brighter.
Many people may not know that Xu Zheng and Yang Qing have a very good relationship, so good that in his previous life, Xu Zheng invited Yang Qing to cooperate in the filming of the second part of "People in Embarrassment".
Past.
The first "People in Embarrassment" received a good response and led the summer file of that year, and small-budget commercial films have become the entry point chosen by many young film creators because of their relatively fixed genre and clear audience positioning.
Xu Zheng is also one of them.
Out of friendship, Yang Qing decided to help Xu Zheng with the script of the second part of "People in Embarrassment", and he said in an interview: "Even if it was not my favorite story at the time, I was willing to do it for my friends." ”
Then the two of them began to work together.
It took several months to write the outline of the script, but there was a conflict with the copyright owner of "People in Embarrassment 2" in terms of concept, and it was dragged into a long-term copyright dispute, and both sides were entangled and consumed each other.
The issue of copyright is annoying.
The entanglement has not been resolved for several months.
That winter, Yang Qing and Xu Zheng sat in a café every day to smoke and talk about where to go in the future, and Yang Qing himself wanted to withdraw from that project for a while, but he couldn't say anything in the face of Xu Zheng.
Afterward.
Yang Qing put forward the idea of "changing the story and going to Thailand to shoot", he talked about this idea with everyone involved, including the producer and the boss, but no one supported him, it seemed that only he and Xu Zheng could see the prospect of this project, and then he made countless attempts to persuade him, and the idea was finally approved by the company after a long process, but then it was once again deadlocked on personnel and budget issues, which shows how difficult it is for a film to form, even if the film is actually very good.
The long period of consumption frustrated Yang Qing.
He collected a lot of information about Thailand for Xu Zheng, gave the name "Thai Embarrassment", and then sent an email to Xu Zheng, in which he wrote seriously, "Brother Zheng, I quit, you go to shoot "Thai Embarrassment", this is the movie you have always wanted to make, but it is not the movie I have always wanted to make, I can only accompany you here, and you can go the rest of the way." ”
……
Yang Qing did not participate in the filming of "Thai Embarrassment" in the end, but the formation of this movie is inseparable from him, and what really made Yang Qing famous was actually the later "Hot Pot Hero".
Although the movie is not too popular.
But Luo Xun always thinks that this is an underrated work, and the box office of hundreds of millions is almost meaningless for the quality of the film, but it is not incomprehensible to think that the characteristics of this movie itself are too distinct, and it is not incomprehensible that it is niche, and the box office of hundreds of millions is not too hot, but the difference is definitely not linked, at least in the year of release, it is worth blowing.
Memories so much.
In fact, the biggest reason is that Luo Xun wants to sign Yang Qing to his studio, he can not only sign artists, but also directors, Yang Qing does not have his own works now, signing him at this time is absolutely a good benefit, not to mention that with Yang Qing here, it will be more convenient for Luo Xun to cooperate with Xu Zheng in the famous "Thai Embarrassment" in the future.
As for "Nightclub".
It is unrealistic to expect this kind of small-budget movie to be a big hit, "Crazy Stone" is already a textbook-level small-cost counterattack, and only one such example is already a miracle, but just making a small profit should not be a big problem!
Luo Xun considered participating in the show.
But after thinking about it in the end, I felt that I might not have time, and besides, there was a newcomer waiting to be fed below me, so I just let the newcomer Yu Xiang participate in this play, and cooperating with Xu Zheng and Yang Qing is a good starting point.
I'm much luckier than I was at the beginning.
This is related to the fact that after reading the script, Luo Xun felt that Yu Xiang was quite compatible with a certain role in the script, although he didn't attach much importance to this investment, but he would definitely have to make money if he could make money, and he couldn't cause the movie to hit the street because he stuffed the actors.
Later words.
If Yang Qing is successfully won, Luo Xun can consider making "Hot Pot Hero" in advance, the plot synopsis of this movie Luo Xun still has an impression, and he himself can also consider participating, after making up for some plot bugs, maybe this work will be more lively than in the previous life?
Even if it turns out that it can't.
It's not too far off.
As for the investment money, Luo Xun can still get it, such as "Nightclub", an investment of five or six million is enough, unless Luo Xun invites some big names to star, but the question is who will take a low-budget movie and find a bunch of big names to shoot?
It's unrealistic.
It's not like I didn't play like this in my previous life, and that "Pancake Man" has a bit of this meaning, but it seems to be a big-name cameo, a bit like a hammer deal, anyway, Luo Xun doesn't plan to play this kind of cleverness.
So.
The money he made from investing in "Langya Bang" alone is enough for Luo Xun to invest in a small-budget movie, if he wants to play bigger, he can even invest an additional 10 million level, it depends on the specific situation, and now Luo Xun only plans to pay 5 million, unless he sees greater potential in this movie.
Followed by.
Luo Xun calculated the recording time that would be spent after "Training Camp", thinking about when it would be more appropriate for the movie to start, this time he wanted to hang a position in the movie and learn more about filmmaking.
Acting and singing?
There is also acting and excellent directing.
It's just that there is no shortcut to acting and directing, Luo Xun must learn things in a down-to-earth manner, which requires a long-term accumulation process, and it is not something that can be suddenly epiphany in one or two plays.
