Chapter 419: The Grace of Dripping Water Should Be Repaid
This is the so-called difficult to reconcile, if you insist on which theme is the safest, it is undoubtedly a comedy.
Now that there is a lot of pressure in society, who doesn't want to have fun, as long as you can make the audience laugh, then the audience can make you happy.
Most of the films that create box office myths are comedies for this reason. But comedy is the most difficult genre to film, Bu Fan has heard a sentence:
The so-called humor,
It's not a person who says something funny,
It's a funny person who says something!
At the zero o'clock premiere, Bufan was fully armed, bought tickets to enter the venue, and sat in the corner, although it was midnight, there were still many audiences.
When the lights dim, the movie begins.
At the beginning, it was the scene where Niu Er ran all over the mountain, and the depressing atmosphere instantly enveloped the audience, especially when he saw Jiu'er's corpse...
Bu Fan can clearly feel the emotions of the audience next to him, although they are all heavy themes, but I am not a savior, and I have a stronger sense of substitution. After all, the difficulty of seeing a doctor is something that everyone has personally experienced, and it is a real difficulty that needs to be faced.
And war is very far away for modern people, all from history textbooks, and even many have evolved into trash cans for angry young dicks to vent their personal emotions.
How to shoot a good war theme?
According to Bu Fan's understanding, in the final analysis, it is still necessary to grasp the fearlessness and sacrifice spirit that people show when facing life and death.
Even if you use hot blood as a gimmick, it has to imitate the kind of wolf warrior, the machine gun bursts suddenly, all kinds of sea, land and air fly away, the audience wants a big scene, and what you spend money to buy is excitement.
"Hey, I've been acting for most of the day, and I don't seem to understand it!"
"I don't understand? I think it's funny. ”
"The plot doesn't matter, if you want to say that Bu Fan's acting skills are really explosive, he brought the little people to life!"
"Especially the scene where I was slapped in the face by Yanni, it's just..."
There was a whisper from the audience next to him, and he still bought the black humor in the middle of the movie, this kind of theme is the director's old business, and it is very easy to control.
It's still the same old saying: how to make the audience laugh and taste something else when they go home...
This is the university asks!
finally waited for the box office on the first day, 8.6 million, Bu Fan breathed a sigh of relief, and the result was not bad.
Definitely won't lose money, the first day has basically returned one-fifth, the rest depends on how much you can earn?
As an actor, being able to be worthy of the salary and not letting the audience scold the street is already doing his duty.
As for the rest, directors and producers are worried about it, and not losing money is their bottom line.
Guan Hu called, saying that he ranked fourth in the same period, basically achieved the predetermined goal, and the publicity came to an end, just waiting for a few days in August to participate in the Golden Horse.
The Douban score is also good, with thousands of people scoring a high score of 7.8, of course, there are many doubts, but they are generally satisfied with their acting skills.
......
On this day, Bufan received a call from Hu Zhonghua and invited him to have dinner together, for Hu Zhonghua, Bufan was grateful, because of his appreciation, he had the opportunity to play the first leading role, and it was precisely because he had the opportunity to star in Wang Shuai's "Seventeen-year-old Bicycle", and he would get the New Talent Award in Berlin that year, and join Orange Entertainment until the current status.
For Bu Fan, Hu Zhonghua and him have a trace of acquaintance, and Bu Fan directly agreed to Hu Zhonghua's request.
Seeing Hu Zhonghua, he was a little surprised, he was a little surprised, he was high-spirited, but now he has more vicissitudes on his body.
Bu Fan suddenly remembered at this time, the gossip he heard some time ago, Hu Zhonghua has filmed several TV series in a row in the past few years since "Bright Gun and Dark Arrow" was killed, but one of them is worse than the other, which can be described as bad luck.
After the two of them chilled, Hu Zhonghua's words in the dinner gave way to Fan being taken aback...
"Want to make your own movie?" Bu Fan looked at Hu Zhonghua and said in surprise: "Invest yourself?"
"Can't you look at it?" Hu Zhonghua drank the wine, saw Bufan's questioning expression, and said angrily: "I'm also the one who is about to run to five, to be honest, I've been making TV series before, but I've always wanted to make a movie of my own, and I've been unlucky in the past few years, so I ....."
Although he didn't finish speaking, Bu Fan also understood that if Hu Zhonghua has been a director for so many years, of course his level is not bad, but movies and TV series are two different concepts, and he can start making movies directly?
Hu Zhonghua understood Bufan's worries, took out a script from his bag, handed it over, and said, "You take a look first." ”
Bu Fan took it, and there were five big words written on the cover: "Sniper Phone Booth"?
Turning the first page, he didn't raise his head again, for more than half an hour, closed the last page, took a deep breath and said, "This is your confidence?"
"I'll just ask you a word..."Hu Zhonghua was full of seriousness, stared at Bu Fan and said, "Is it a good book?"
"Absolutely!"
Bu Fan did not hesitate and said firmly: "This is the best book I have seen in half a year, there is no one!"
After hearing this, Hu Zhonghua let out a long breath, as if he had received great affirmation from Bu Fan, and said with relief: "With your words, I am really relieved!"
"The budget is estimated to be 10 million, and I have a little spare money in my hands in the past few years, so I can't mortgage the house to the bank first...."
"After so many years, there are also a lot of old friends who know the roots, and it's okay to call over to help..."
"It's mainly the male lead..."
looked at Bu Fan with burning eyes, and said word by word: "All the drama is pressed on him, so..."
"No problem!"
Before Hu Zhonghua finished speaking, Bu Fan smiled: "It's okay to be idle, I'll come." ”
"Okay!" Hu Zhonghua instantly seemed to be beaten with chicken blood, slapped the table, and said excitedly: "I know that I didn't recognize the wrong person!"
Suddenly remembered something, and said tentatively: "Over there in the company?"
Bu Fan waved his hand, touched the script with his hand, pondered for a moment and said: "Mr. Qi and Sister Lan are not a big problem, as for the others, it doesn't matter, I'll let them see this first." ”
"As for the rest...."
Bu Fan looked at Hu Zhonghua's expectant gaze and said seriously: "The investment risk is too great, you have a wife and children, you can't joke about the house!"
"I still have a little spare money in my hand, it's okay to be a few million, since you want to shoot, then count me as a share. ”
"You...."
Hu Zhonghua really didn't expect Bu Fan to be so righteous, not only did he act in friendship, but he also really bought shares, stood up suddenly, picked up his wine glass, and sighed: "Don't say anything, it's all in the wine!"
Or that sentence, for Hu Zhonghua, Bu Fan is very grateful, the so-called grace of dripping water, when the spring reciprocates, not to mention that this is really not a spring....
"I still say that making movies is very risky, and I don't need to say more about that. Bu Fan saw Hu Zhonghua calm down, and analyzed: "My confidence comes from the script, since everyone cooperates, the favor is put first, everything must be professional." ”
"Don't worry, I'm under more pressure than you. Hu Zhonghua took a deep breath and said seriously: "This movie may be the first and even the only chance in my life to prove myself!"
"The script is only one aspect, and people are the most critical factor. I am optimistic about you and believe that only you can complete the task. ”
"I'm sure I'm not going to let my wife go to waste. Bu Fan said with a smile: "You will come up with the budget first, recruit the team, and then we will sign the contract." ”
"I'll report to the company when I get back to the company, and I'm waiting for you here...."
Leaving the hotel, Han Xiaoguo asked Bufan: "Do you really want to invest?"
"I like this book very much.,It's basically a one-man show.,The cost pressure is not great.,It's 10 million.,But gritting your teeth and seven or eight million can do it.。 ”
"The main thing is that it is not easy to publicize, so I have to talk to Mr. Qi and Sister Lan first, after all, the company doesn't have a good book, so you can't be idle, right?"
After listening to Bu Fan's explanation, Han Xiaoguo didn't speak again, this is a matter of time or time, who doesn't have a side job now?
The investment works are still old-fashioned, and there are more other variety, such as opening restaurants, doing beauty, playing stocks, and doing everything.
Now Bu Fan also has a small amount of savings, and he usually doesn't use money, so he takes out millions to test the water, even if he loses, it doesn't matter, and he can accumulate some investment experience.
Why don't you pay for tuition?
