Chapter 50: Director Forrest Gump

Sure enough, Li Ming's next sentence was: "Five million is not a small number, by the way, if you let Ning Hao help you, I can rest assured!"

Ning Hao smiled and agreed...

As long as Lu Xiaoran accepts the investment, Ning Hao will definitely serve as a producer or a nominal producer.

Naturally, he became a pony man!

Million...

Thousands of dollars buy horse bones!

Li Ming is indeed not an ordinary person, no wonder a cross-border advertiser can make Pony prosperous, and has established cooperative relations with so many first-line screenwriters and directors.

There are means, and they are decisive enough!

Thinking of this, Lu Xiaoran smiled: "Since Brother Big Dog thinks so highly of me, then it's decided." ”

Anyway, the movie will definitely be made, and whoever invests is the same!

……

The project prepared by Lu Xiaoran is "Border Storm"...

The husky wanted him to make a youth film, such as "The School Girl We Soaze Together in Those Years", "My Phoenix Legend" and the like.

He really doesn't like it...

What do you say about campus love?

His interest is mainly in the suspense genre and strong plot genre.

After asking for a long time, the husky said several works with low cost and good reputation, including "Border Storm", "Witnessed by the Whole People", "Scorching Sun" and so on.

weighed it, or "Border Storm" is more suitable for making a debut - low investment, few characters, and forced qualifications!

Rookie directors, either brush the grid or brush the box office!

If you have both, so much the better...

In later generations, the cost of "Border Storm" was about 10 million, and the box office was less than 30 million...

It's a successful work - at least it doesn't lose money.

The year of release was August 2012, and in August of that year, there were "Wind Listener", "Disappearing Bullet"...

What's more, "Borderland" is on the same schedule as "The Amazing Spider-Man" and "Batman: The Dark Knight Rises"!

There are two Hollywood blockbusters suppressed, how high can the box office of "Border" go?

Then, in 16 years, "The History of the Disappearance of Romantic" was released, and many people were surprised to find that there were such a high quality movies in China?

Hurry up and look at the director's last work, that's right, it's "Border Storm"...

This movie is so unique!

From the perspective of narrative technique, it is very similar to "Stone", interspersing the entire story line through several fragments.

The main line is probably the development of deep Stockholm symptoms.

When it was promoted, it was branded as 'the Chinese version of "This Killer is Not Too Cold".

Not quite right...

But it's not far off, because the main plot is that the drug dealer kidnapped the dentist's daughter in order to survive in a failed deal ten years ago, and raised her, and then probably thought Lori was good - the dentist's daughter had his child, and the drug dealer decided to finish the last vote and leave this path.

Those who mix the rivers and lakes, but if they want to go into hiding, they will definitely be bloody and bloody!

So, in the end, everyone except the pregnant dentist's daughter died...

Main characters: drug dealers, a family of dentists, killers, anti-narcotics police...

This movie has a good reputation, and it is a masterpiece in the minds of many audiences!

Lu Xiaoran has thought about it, and this movie is perfect for her debut.

After all, Nortel is left-leaning and more aggressive, and its debut is a regular youth film, which is a bit of a decline.

He discussed this script with Ning Hao, and the latter thought it was very good, probably because he mentioned it to Li Ming...

As for the production cost of five million, it is also an approximate number, according to Lu Xiaoran's concept, directly let the 'Stone Gang' participate, and the drug dealer will use Guo Tao, he will play the anti-drug policeman, Bo Ge will play the killer, Liu Hua will play the dentist, and then find a younger actor, such as Yang Mi, Wang Luodan or something, Qi is alive...

Maybe it won't cost five million!

Of course, this is after next year...

The script hasn't been written yet, it's just an oral story.

……

The husky dutifully introduced the pony Pentium, in addition to the information that can be found on the Internet:

"Pony Bento can indeed be, especially in the early stage, almost every work is both popular and popular!"

"Their team includes many first-line screenwriters in the mainland, and Ning Caishen, who you like, also cooperated with them for a while..."

"What I know, they are the first private media company in the mainland to get 600 million yuan in financing, and they almost became the first media company to go public..."

Hearing this, Lu Xiaoran asked curiously, "Why didn't you succeed?"

"Well, Xiaoma was investigated, and he caught up with the upper echelons to strictly investigate corruption, and several leaders of the Central Mother and the Optoelectronics Bureau were punished, and many of them had a good relationship with Li Ming..."

"Okay, got it!"

It's a legacy of history...

This is normal, most of the early film and television companies have a relationship with CCTV or local satellite TV, otherwise, why did they start?

When a TV station buys a drama, in addition to the quality itself, it also depends on the person!

People spend millions, tens of millions of dollars to buy your things, and many times, they have to repay the favor...

Favors can easily become bribery and bribery...

By the way, Lu Xiaoran is staying in the crew, preparing to play - the crew of "Big Movie", the director is Forrest Gump...

Forrest Gump is a stage name, and his real name is Liu Xiaoguang.

Director Liu Xiaoguang is very powerful, this awesome is not in double quotation marks - he created a Chinese-style horror film narrative structure!

From "Strange Tales of the Ancient Mirror" to "Please Close Your Eyes When It's Dark", the Chinese-style horror films of those years are inseparable from his name!

Chinese-style horror films - in principle, horror movies are not allowed in China, so they can only be mentally ill or dreaming...

Later, it transformed, and the comedy was tinkered with...

People still have pursuits, and they don't want to be scolded as bad movie directors...

In fact, if he goes down this path, he will definitely make money - in the film industry, the most profitable films will always be horror films and erotica!

Even if it is a domestic horror film, there is rarely a time when it can't recoup the investment, otherwise, why do theaters have a large number of 'Disc Immortals', 'Pen Immortals', 'Midnight XX' every year...

"Big Movie" is the first part of his transformation!

By the way, his last movie was called "7 Hours of Time Difference", a magical movie~

"7 Hours Time Difference", a work of cooperation between fans and idols - it is said that Guan Xi watched the heroine when he took over the play, and he refused at first, but the heroine's father has great powers, and after the release, he also forced Shenzhen primary and secondary school students to watch it...

The consequence, of course, was self-defeating and provoked public outrage, the film was withdrawn across the board, and his father was investigated...

Anyway, the purpose of chasing stars has been achieved!

You say, if I had this father, would I be able to cooperate with Sister Mi?

Ahem, back to "Big Movie", this script was compiled by Ning Caishen, Forrest Gump was responsible for revising, after the change, he was quite satisfied, and brought Zeng Zhiwei, Yao Dazui, Huang Bo, and a group of actors from the Stone Gang, including Wang Xun , Lu Xiaoran...

Lu Xiaoran came completely with the purpose of making money.

He also read the script, and frankly speaking, the script itself is okay, Ning Caishen found a contradiction of great practical significance - house relocation and house speculation are more sensitive in the theme of Chinese movies!

The puzzle is then constructed with the conflict of the parties, and some of the dialogue is well written.

The problem is that director Forrest Gump...

The husky clearly told him that this is a bad movie director, except for one "Happy", the reputation is okay, and the other works are bad movies!

Why is it called "The Big Movie"?

Because it's a vulgar comedy – a parody of the Scream kind!

"Big Movie" parodies "Forrest Gump", "Infernal Affairs", "Ambush on All Sides" and so on...

It is very difficult to make a parody movie, and it takes an extremely mature film industry to do it...
