Chapter 48

"Let you play the leading role?" Ji Yingzi was a little confused.

Didn't you just say that you were going to replace the young children?

Why did she ask her to act again after reading the script?

And he still plays the leading role.

Actresses play the leading role, this kind of operation is really rare.

Ji Yingzi was puzzled, but Jiangbei already had a new plan.

First of all, Youyou has already signed a confidentiality agreement with Ji Yingzi and promised to participate in the role, so it is not appropriate to kick her out halfway, and it is easy to cause unnecessary accidents.

Secondly, from Ji Yingzi's side, she still admires Youyou, once she uses the rights of investors to forcibly ask her to kick Youyou out, it may cause some small emotions in Ji Yingzi, so as to finally reveal this matter to Youyou.

As a result, things are a bit hard to control.

He couldn't bet on that probability.

Because if Li Youqing really knows that he is secretly messing with her, then the end will definitely be miserable.

So it's better to push the boat down the river and let the young continue to participate in this movie.

In this way, things can continue to go smoothly without any waves.

And on the surface, this seemingly 'compromise' approach is the most perfect.

Ji Yingzi doesn't have to be embarrassed to replace the young child.

Young children don't have to worry about the series of reactions that will occur when they know that they have been replaced.

Everyone filmed happily, and everything was as usual.

The only thing that is not good is that Jiangbei did not get the results he wanted.

But is that really the case?

Not necessarily.

Especially after reading the script of "Blue Fortress", he felt that the probability of this movie being a flutter was extremely high.

A skin with a science fiction theme, but the core is a love story.

It's already contrary to the subject matter.

In layman's terms: this movie is off topic.

A movie that is off-topic, how many viewers will buy it?

is equivalent to an adventure movie called "New Dimension Adventurer" that Jiangbei watched in the previous life, this film is an evolution of the romantic comedy "Love Apartment", relying on the fan base accumulated by the previous 4 TV series in ten years, forcibly tied up for consumption, so that the box office was as high as 300 million on the first day at that time.

But the audience is not stupid, and this act of turning a romantic comedy into a suspenseful adventure is disappointing.

Secretly change the concept and forcibly tie it up.

No one is going to buy it.

Therefore, the score of the film fell to 2.6 in an instant, and the box office shrank significantly, and even the box office in the following month failed to exceed the box office on the first day of the first day, and finally the next painting only won 550 million box office.

This is the result of the opposite of the subject matter.

The positioning of your film is science fiction, so let's talk about science fiction honestly.

The positioning of your film is love, so let's talk about love honestly.

Secretly changing concepts, taking advantage of the heat, and pulling feelings is disrespectful to one's own works and an insult to the audience.

In this case, no matter how good the plot and story of the film are, the audience who feels deceived will still not be willing to accept it, nor will they want to accept it.

Now Ji Yingzi's "Blue Fortress", which has sharpened a sword for five years, is in this situation.

Shoot sci-fi films, tell love stories.

This kind of contradiction appears, no matter how good Ji Yingzi is, the probability of this movie becoming a bad movie is still very high.

So this is also the reason why Jiangbei agreed to continue filming with Youyou.

Of course, since you want to add fuel to the fire, it's not enough to agree, you have to add some material to increase the probability of this movie becoming a bad movie.

For example, let Li Youqing play the male protagonist to increase the audience's bad impression of this film.

"Mr. Jiang, this is a bit inappropriate...... Ji Yingzi hesitated, but said bluntly.

Reverse string.

Not for nothing at home and abroad.

But they are all inconsequential supporting roles, or the kind of 'women dressed as men' in costume films.

It's really rare to see a protagonist like this.

Of course, more importantly, she feels that there is no need for this at all, after all, she can't bring anything more in-depth to the movie, or the box office.

Square peg?

Of course he knew it wasn't suitable, but what he wanted was what he didn't want.

"Mr. Ji, what is your purpose in making this movie. Jiangbei began to brainwash Ji Yingzi.

"I want to prove myself and prove that Chinese science fiction films are not weak in any country. Ji Yingzi said this very firmly, obviously she really thought so in her heart.

"That's to win the award, and it's the Star Award, right?" Jiang Bei continued to ask.

Star Award, the most authoritative award of Azure Star, if the actor or film can win this award, then it proves that your efforts and the quality of the film have been recognized globally in this year.

"Yes!"

Ji Yingzi admits that after five years of sharpening her sword, her ambition is not only to make a good sci-fi film, but also to open the door to Chinese sci-fi movies and break out of the blue star.

"But I think that although your script is excellent, it is not deep enough, and it is almost impossible to get into the Star Award. ”

This was a bit straightforward, which made Ji Yingzi's face a little ugly.

I wanted to refute it, but I thought that I had read a little "Wandering Blue" written by Jiangbei before, and swallowed what I wanted to say.

Truly.

In terms of the excellence of the script, "Wandering Azure" is higher than her "Blue Fortress".

"Mr. Jiang, even if the script is not deep enough, it still won't change anything if you let the actress play the leading role, right?"

The depth of a film depends on the story of the script, not the characters.

She is still very aware of this.

But the story is also based on characters. Jiang Bei seemed to see through her inner thoughts, and said seriously: "Your current script, if you change the character of the male protagonist a little and set him as a woman dressed as a man, then what do you think this story will become?"

Ji Yingzi was stunned when he heard this.

Change the male protagonist to a woman dressed as a man?

If the emotional drama remains the same.

The second female likes the male protagonist, the male protagonist likes the female one, and the female one likes the male protagonist.

But in fact, all three of them are women.

Change the story between them slightly, use the emotional line to highlight the characters, and have a singing and crying lily love in the context of the aliens' invasion of the Azure Star and the imminent destruction.

Wouldn't there be depth?

And.

Seems to have created a new genre?

Lily sci-fi film?

I have to say that Ji Yingzi was a little moved.

She was the only one left in the office at some point, and Jiangbei had already left.

All that was left was the magical words:

"Let's storm the Star Throne. ”

……

Jiangbei is very confident, he thinks that his advice is great, and a persistent person like Ji Yingzi will definitely pursue the so-called 'depth'.

But I never expected to be slapped in the face the next night.

"Mr. Jiang, I'm sorry, my dad said that the current domestic censorship system is relatively strict on gay films, and if you insist on changing it like this, you may not be able to pass the review, so for the sake of insurance, it is better to choose the original script. ”

The system does not allow it.

There's no way.

It's a pity, but it's not a big problem, and it's okay to shoot the original script.

Anyway, because the crew members of "Camera" were almost wiped out before, everyone has great attention and expectations for the only remaining Li Youqing.

So even if she can't play the leading role in reverse, she will be stared at by public opinion.

Thinking of this, Jiangbei replied with two words first: Okay.

Just after the haircut, Li Youqing's voice came from the bathroom: "Jiangbei, there is no hot water in the water heater, help me take a look." ”

Wife seems to be taking a bath?

What are you talking about?

It must be the wife who is more important.

Jiangbei put down his phone and walked out.

On the other side, Ji Yingzi was lying on the bed, looking at the two words in reply, and then looked at the script of "Blue Fortress", frowning slightly.

I don't know why, since Jiangbei put forward a new opinion, it is not so right for her to look back at this script.

Star Award, depth, breakthrough, these words keep echoing in her mind.

Presumably, Mr. Jiang will also feel a little pity. ”

Ji Yingzi's guess seems to have been verified.

Two days later, on the second day of filming of "Blue Fortress", the actress suddenly came to the door.

and, brought the "Wandering Blue" written by Jiangbei.
