Chapter 68: On How to Make a Bad Movie
Zhou Han thought for a long time and finally made up his mind.
I didn't think about making a big production, I just wanted to deal with it casually.
As long as the program allows, you can lose your investment.
Therefore, this time the target can only be small films.
That's right, the kind of small cost, small production, 2D small movie.
On how to make this bad movie, Zhou Han still has points in his heart.
An unqualified movie must come from an unqualified script.
Zhou Han thought about it for a long time and felt that it was still not appropriate to spend money on the script.
After all, any script with a certain value may win the box office.
He decided to take out the things that he pressed at the bottom of the box, and with these things, he was not afraid that it would not lose money.
The countdown displayed by the program from time to time made Zhou Han make up his mind to block this one.
won the tender model of the club, and lost to work in the sea.
Thinking of this, he asked Liu Zimu to come to the group.
You definitely can't tell him that he needs to make a film that will lose money, but he still has to grasp the general direction to ensure that he loses.
Zhou Han felt that it was so difficult.
took out the revised script from the drawer, and then reached out and handed it to Liu Zimu.
Sitting on the sofa in the office, Liu Zimu looked carefully.
After experiencing all kinds of things in the past, he knew that Zhou Han had a certain level.
Shooting videos like that can make a lot of money, which makes him have a kind of blind confidence in it.
The script is not long, and Liu Zimu read it quickly.
At first, he didn't think that the script that Zhou Han came up with would be very good.
After all, I've been together for so long, and I haven't seen Zhou Han make a script, at most it's just to write a song.
When he finished reading the script, he had a look of shock to the division.
"I didn't expect you to write a script?"
"Literary and artistic youth, who didn't have something of their own in their stomach when they were young?"
Zhou Han thought to himself: Can I tell you that I didn't take it out before because I was afraid of losing money by making bad movies?
This script was written when he was in high school, and he was inspired to improvise.
He felt good about himself.
However, it was rated as "garbage" by a certain bigwig, and it was buried in my heart.
Now it's different, his only purpose is to lose money.
This rotten script comes in handy.
It's cool to lose money for a while, and it's cool to lose money all the time.
The truth of this is something that ordinary people will not understand.
"This script is amazing!"
Liu Zimu slapped his thigh, the fat trembled, and he rebounded.
If you have a 4K camera that can shoot it in slow motion, a great short film is born.
"It's okay. ”
Zhou Han waved his hand very modestly: "I was bored in high school and wrote casually. ”
"Can you write such a good script just by writing?"
"Brother Han, why don't you write a novel, don't say anything else, just with this writing, you can definitely become a god!" Liu Zimu said.
Zhou Han looked very calm: "I don't have that patience, I have to code words every day, I'm very tired." ”
"Besides, am I short of money?"
At the beginning of his rebirth, he considered writing a novel, and he was sure that he would be able to become popular.
Because I had such an experience for a few years in my previous life, plus I watched a lot.
With foresight, it is simply unreasonable not to be popular.
But as soon as the program came along, he immediately abandoned the idea.
Who writes novels if you have money!
Liu Zimu nodded: "That's the same, you are originally a rich generation, and you can't look down on this kind of investment without threshold." ”
"But it's not easy to write an online article, and I still have a book on the street at the beginning.
"Recently, I don't know if this wave of crackdowns has been 404. ”
"You've also written novels?" Zhou Han couldn't help but ask.
"It's just a street fight. Liu Zimu replied expressionlessly.
"Oh. ”
Zhou Han secretly thought in his heart, when he looks at Liu Zimu's street novel, maybe it will be another money-making project.
"Send it to me when you have time. ”
"I'll give you the document when I get back. Liu Zimu said with a smile.
"It's a street fight, but I've always thought of it as a treasure. ”
"Just give me the link directly, do you think I'm the one who needs that little subscription money?" Zhou Han said.
"Brother Han, you are not short of money, and the script is also well written. Liu Zimu looked unfair.
"Why are all the benefits here?"
Look, Liu Zimu is still reliable, and garbage scripts can be regarded as treasures by him.
If you don't lose money, who loses?
Good buddy, it's just reassuring.
Liu Zimu pinched the script, his face was red, and oil was oozing from his nose, and he held back the excitement in his heart.
"Brother Han, I'm going to make this movie!"
"Are you confident?" Zhou Han asked as he watched Liu Zimu hold the script tightly.
"Yes!"
"With such a good script, maybe I can make a splash with him!" Liu Zimu said firmly.
Zhou Han slowly took out a contract: "Zimu, my brother also has to settle accounts." ”
"It's a filming contract, you see. ”
Liu Zimu was stunned for a moment, and when he saw Zhou Han take out the contract, it seemed that it had already been prepared in advance.
I took the contract and looked at the terms.
His face changed.
"The investment of 800,000 yuan in this movie doesn't seem to be enough, right? ”
"It's only 800,000, you have to use your ingenuity, this money is enough!"
Zhou Han is very sure that he is bound to make a bad movie.
"Or, I'll add my more than 100,000 to it, and make up some more, how about we make up 1 million?"
Liu Zimu asked a little uneasily.
Zhou Han knocked on the table: "Do I invest or do you invest?"
"This is my sole proprietorship, and the budget is so much, as for how to shoot it, you have to figure it out. ”
"The director's fee is 200,000, Brother Han, is it appropriate for you to send money like this?"
Liu Zimu saw a clause: "In this way, there will be less money for filming, and inviting a star is another lot of money." ”
"Yes, I feel very good, if you only have the director's fee, and there is no box office dividend, of course you have to give a little more. ”
"The most important thing about a movie is the content, and you don't need to invite too expensive stars. ”
"There are too many people with film and television dreams in this world, just pull it casually. ”
Zhou Han patiently explained: "I am optimistic about a potential director, plus a good ...... Screenplay. ”
"That's right. ”
"Brother Han, why don't I hire you as the starring role?"
"Isn't there a role for the actor in this, at least it can save a lot of money. ”
Liu Zimu looked at Zhou Han and said with a smile: "Make your own movie, you can save the salary, right?"
"How's that going to work?"
"The male protagonist is a scumbag, you let me play, don't you destroy my image?"
"Besides, you've also read the script, and the so-called male protagonist is just a background wall. ”
"There's only one real protagonist, and that's the woman locked up in the basement. ”
Zhou Han categorically rejected Liu Zimu's proposal.
Liu Zimu said while signing: "Okay, since Brother Han trusts me so much, I have to work hard." ”
"If you put your heart in your stomach, you will never let your movie go down the drain. ”
Zhou Han watched Liu Zimu sign with a dragon and a phoenix, and couldn't help but secretly say in his heart: It's good to be adrift.
As long as the box office can't be recovered, the mission will definitely not fail.
With millions of investments and a box office of only tens of thousands, he has seen a lot in his past and present lives.
Liu Zimu blew, watched the ink dry, picked up the contract and said.
"Brother Han, to be honest, I'm really afraid that the shooting will not be good, I'm sorry for your trust in me. ”
"Don't worry, I'm optimistic about you. ”
"Besides, do you think I'm the kind of person who cares about hundreds of thousands of dollars?"
"It's just that I see your potential and want to invest in you. ”
"Now that time is pressing, you hurry up and assemble the crew. ”
Zhou Han said a few words and blocked back what Liu Zimu was about to say.
