Lu Xiaoran did not directly agree to Yang Qing.

It's very simple, this kind of thing as a director is really not something that can be done by just one person...

A good screenwriter turned director may not be able to make a good movie, the simplest example: "Gravity", this script is invincible, just 2 people, and then how to escape, it's over.

Such a simple story, why do so many people watch all the climaxes, or because the director has the ability!

And many screenwriters and directors who change careers pay special attention to lines and artistic conception, which can easily separate the whole movie.

Cui Siwei, the screenwriter of "No Man's Land", "Crazy Racing", and "A Good Show", became his own director, drummed up "Snow Storm", brought in Liao Fu and Zhang Zhen, and then what about it? The movie was a failure...

Because "Snow Storm" is about a police and bandit showdown, there is not much complicated suspense, and the rhythm and atmosphere are very considered, which is a test for the screenwriter, and the most terrible thing is that it is the writing of the lines, which is obviously a genre film, but the screenwriter makes every character want to be a poet or essayist in their hearts, and it is obvious that they can feel completely derailed from real life...

Bo Ge's new film "The Man Caught by the Light"...

However, "Nightclub" is a little different, and this script is easy to film!

In such a movie, the right actor is chosen, and the director is almost a decoration...

It's just a supermarket, and the story is simple, and it all relies on dialogue to drive the plot...

The joke isn't high-end, but it's funny...

It strictly follows the conventional comedy routine of three or five minutes of one laugh, seven or eight minutes of small climax, and then sensationalism at the end of the day.

Very interesting...

Frankly, for a comedy movie, it's enough to be interesting!

After thinking about it, Lu Xiaoran said, "That's it, I'll recommend it for you." ”

"Do you want to recommend it to Chairman Li?"

Li Dong is Li Ming...

“… Did you show him?"

"Well, I showed him it last year..."

"What did he say?"

"He said it was a bit of an amateur..."

Lu Xiaoran agrees with this point of view: "It's a bit amateurish, if the script can be logically improved, it would be better!"

“… What do you think?"

"The rhythm in the first half is too loose, and the characters are a little abrupt, and the professional robbers in the second half appear a little too suddenly, I think you can go a little deeper in the side plot..."

It's complete nonsense...

Xiao Luzi wants to lower the price!

"But... Mr. Xu Zheng likes this book very much, and he said that he recommended it to Pete, the owner of CAA, one of the three major Hollywood agencies..."

“… Xu Zheng: Wait a minute, I'll give you a call and ask!"

It's really like this, Xu Zhengman likes this script, but he doesn't want to pay for it himself, so he pulls people in.

"That's it, I'll take over this project, don't look for someone else, you be the director, Xu Zheng plays He Sanshui..."

Yang Qing's face was happy: "Great, when will you shoot?"

"You first improve the logic of the script, I don't have a schedule this year, so I have to start filming next year. ”

The main thing is that the orange image does not have 3 million on the books...

……

Yang Qing left, and Lu Xiaoran sat in the office, silent for a long time...

He was thinking about Xu Zheng's sentence: A small-budget comedy like this is still very interesting.

Since he thinks he has a head, why not invest?

It should still be a distribution issue!

"Don't think about it, "Nightclub" was later handed over to Chengtian for distribution, and the production cost of 2.6 million was exchanged for a box office of 13 million!

“… Is it starring Xu Zheng?"

"It's him..."

"Then do you think I should invest?"

"Of course, you should invest, it's best to pull in China Film, Xiaoma, and then Huang Bo, the three of you will star together, and the box office can have 20 million..."

"It's the box office again..."

"What?

“… No, I asked Zeng Guangxian about the situation. ”

"You have to remember that commercial films are first of all to satisfy the spiritual needs of the audience, not to express personal desires! The market is the standard for testing the success of a commercial film!"

Lu Xiaoran was suddenly stunned...

I really didn't expect a person who writes online articles to be able to say such profound words!

Today's public opinion is like this, either you can do what Ning Hao did, just a "Stone" that he can play, or you can follow the style of the New Wave...

The so-called New Wave is the sixth generation.

Feng Xiaogang was really coerced by public opinion back then, and his peers looked down on him in various ways - you can take a look at "Life Online", which was intercepted from Feng Xiaogang's day in 2000, when he attended a director's meeting, almost all the directors put disgust and contempt on their faces, and almost said directly, 'What are you pretending to be?

Lu Xiaoran's "Border Storm", why did you choose this film, because it is high-end, not a simple entertainment film...

"Nightclub" is a very pure entertainment genre.

The pure entertainment genre is called a commercial film!

Is there anything wrong with commercial films pursuing the box office?

What are the requirements of most of Zhou Xingxing's films?

There is a Mao's request, just to make the audience happy!

……

Zeng Guangxian walked over:

"You've finally taken a break, and you're going to have to do some business for the next two months. ”

“… I'll have to keep an eye on the later stages of Frontier. ”

"We want to invest 2 million in "Snow Leopard", and we only have 1.4 million on the account at present..."

"How much? 1.4 million, where did it come from?"

"The first installment of "Latent" has been settled..."

Yang Ma bought "Latent", and Dongyang Qingyu called the account as soon as possible.

"Zhang Hongzhen is so generous?"

“… They also want to join "Snow Leopard" and be the second producer!"

"He... Where did they know about Snow Leopard?"

Zeng Guangxian smiled: "You think your movements are very secretive?"

After "Struggle", Lu Xiaoran is already fragrant...

Especially when I inquired about the screenwriter of "Latent", he is both a writer and an actor, and he is also a director and an all-rounder!

Zhang Hongzhen paid close attention to him, knowing that he had drummed up an anti-Japanese war drama "Snow Leopard" and united Yu Rongguang, of course he wanted a piece of the pie...

"I heard Lao Yu say that the producer of "Snow Leopard" is full, so it shouldn't be possible to attract outside investment, right?"

Zeng Guangxian nodded: "... Well, Yu Rongguang is very measured, and the producer of "Snow Leopard" has Hai Yan and several TV stations..."

"Electric... TV station?"

"Of course, "Snow Leopard" must be broadcast on the stars, and of course it must absorb the investment of the TV station!"

“… I said, how can he be on the stars in every drama, it's really... Be a man!"

"The rest of the money is taken at a fraction. ”

"Rake?"

"Oh, I gave Cao Binkun a few TV series to them..."
