Chapter 376: A Different Romance Movie
After Wang Ye sat in Lin Xiaojun's office for a while, he then came to the crew of "Kung Fu Panda".
I have to say that the production of animation is really slow, and it costs money, a minute of footage, to draw thousands of materials, the workload is extremely huge, the front and back continue to add people, plus some outsourcing projects, just this film, the number of staff is as high as more than 500 people, just salary, this is a huge expenditure.
It wasn't until Qiqi called that he left for the agreed place.
After arriving at the place, Qiqi and Zhang Jiayi were already waiting, Zhang Jiayi was called by Wang Ye for Qiqi, in addition to the two of them, there was also a lady with short hair and a very bookish temperament.
Wang Ye thought to himself that this must be Qiqi's friend, but he didn't expect it to be a lady.
When Xue Xiaolu saw Wang Ye, he immediately got up, stretched out his right hand, and said with a smile on his face: "Hello Mr. Wang, my name is Xue Xiaolu, and I am your fan." ”
Wang Ye shook it lightly, quickly let go, and said with a smile: "Teacher Xue, you are the real teacher, how can I be considered a teacher." ”
Xue Xiaolu's title of teacher is not called by others, she is a teacher and professor at the Kyoto Film Academy.
Xue Xiaolu said: "The master is the teacher, and you are the teacher in my mind." ”
Xiaozui is quite good at talking, Wang Ye likes it, this happiness, in the next ordering session, he exerted his rich temperament, four people ate, ordered more than ten dishes, and Zhang Jia, who watched it, kept complaining.
"Rich people are amazing!"
Fortunately, the dishes in this restaurant are relatively small, don't look at the more than a dozen dishes that fill the table, in fact, they are all plates, and there are very few things that can really be eaten.
Because we want to talk about things, we don't drink alcohol, we all drink juice.
Xue Xiaolu said, "Teacher Wang, why don't I tell you my story first?"
While eating, Wang Ye nodded and replied, "Yes, while eating, we can talk about things, just so as not to delay things." ”
So Xue Xiaolu began to introduce her story, and everyone else pricked up their ears to listen, only Wang Ye seemed to be hungry for a long time, still desperately eating vegetables.
"According to my current train of thought, the theme of this movie is about a money-worshipping third party who is pregnant, and went to Trump Country to give birth to a child, after a period of experience in Trump Country, she realized that she still has to rely on her own hands to work hard in life, and then she loves a person she really loves in her heart, so that this life is not wronged, and it is worth ......"
After talking for a long time, Qiqi and Zhang Jiayi kept nodding when they heard it, and Wang Ye also nodded while eating.
When Xue Xiaolu talked about it halfway, she really wanted to give up talking about it, because she felt that Wang Ye was very rude to herself, and she didn't listen carefully at all, which was blaspheming the fruits of her labor.
But after thinking about it, she came to Wang Ye to invest, no matter what, she had to hold back, so she held back the anger in her heart and continued to talk.
It's not that Wang Ye doesn't listen carefully, he is really hungry, and he eats a boxed lunch at noon, but today's boxed lunch is very unsuitable for his taste, at that time, he thought, the new office building decoration, must set aside a floor out, decorate it into a canteen, and then invite a celebrity chef to cook.
"Mr. Wang, what do you think of this story?"
Wang Ye finally stopped the chopsticks in his hand, wiped his mouth, and then looked at Xue Xiaolu and asked, "The story is very good, but I listened to it for a long time, and I didn't hear where this story happened." ”
Xue Xiaolu was furious, she really didn't listen, she clearly said that this story happened in Trump.
"Trump Nation. ”
Wang Ye smiled and asked, "You have a love story, right?"
Xue Xiaolu nodded, this is not nonsense.
Wang Ye smiled and continued: "In fact, there are three kinds of love stories, the first is to see the characters and their feelings in the film and feel envious, the second is to see the characters and feelings in the film and be moved, and the third is to be affected by the feelings in the film. ”
After speaking, he looked at Xue Xiaolu and asked, "Which one do you want to shoot?"
Xue Xiaolu's eyes were a little evasive, she didn't know what to say, she felt that her story didn't seem to be within the three ranges that Wang Ye said.
Wang Ye was not angry, and continued: "Actually, there is another ......
I've seen your Virgo, and I can see that the area you are best at is the word "family", and you are actually good at this field, why not combine the two?
On the basis of love, you can add the concept of marriage and family that are in line with family affection.
If a woman does not have children, her life is incomplete, a man does not love his family and his career is brilliant, and even if he is a father and does not take his daughter as his life, it is not a good blame.
Through these, you can closely combine love and family values, and maybe you can create a different love story.
Now the audience has an appetite, either Qingqing and me, you and me, it is love, they are tired of watching this. ”
Xue Xiaolu listened with a pensive face, and Qiqi was also thinking about Wang Ye's words beside him.
Wang Ye asked: "Trump has a romance movie called "Sleepless in Seattle", have you seen it?"
Xue Xiaolu replied honestly: "I have seen it, but I don't know it deeply." ”
Wang Ye nodded and continued: "Look at the beauty of others, my suggestion is that you go back and study this movie and see if there is anything worth learning."
If it's just the story you just told me, maybe I can't invest in it, and according to your current thinking, the box office may be average, or even lose money.
Although I am also a screenwriter, I am also a businessman at heart, and I will not do a loss-making business. ”
After speaking, he looked at Zhang Jiayi and said: "You need to understand this, it's not what some people think in their hearts, I am rich, but I am not stupid, I will not invest blindly, and I will not invest in projects that I am not optimistic about." ”
Zhang Jiayi just stretched out his chopsticks and wanted to pick up vegetables, and when he saw Wang Ye saying to himself, he was stunned for a moment, thinking when did he say that you are stupid with money?
depressedly retracted the outstretched chopsticks, thinking that he just wanted to have a good meal, and didn't want to involve himself if he didn't have anything.
Xue Xiaolu nodded sincerely and said: "I understand, Mr. Wang, although I am a director, I know that the movie made is not satisfied with the investors and cannot make money, which is irresponsible." ”
Then he said: "After I go back, I will definitely follow your advice, learn from other people's strengths, and come up with a complete script as soon as possible." ”
Wang Ye nodded and said: "No problem, the story you said before is good, but some storylines can be slightly optimized, if I can, I will still invest." ”
After speaking, he looked at Zhang Jiayi again.
Zhang Jiayi put down his chopsticks, he didn't understand what Wang Ye was doing honestly, he came today, just to eat, and he was always stared at by a man, which made it impossible for people to eat.
Wang Ye smiled and asked, "Has the actor been chosen?"
Xue Xiaolu shook his head and said, "Not yet, I want to get the investment first, and then consider the issue of actors." ”
Wang Ye continued: "You go back and revise the script, try to revise it differently, as long as I pass it here, there is no problem with the investment, as for the actor ......"
His eyes fell on Zhang Jiayi again and asked, "What do you think of Zhang Jiayi?"
