China has a population of 1.3 billion, and there are many geniuses, and there are also a lot of stupid forks. Especially in the screenwriting industry, there have never been fewer stories of blind fabrication, plagiarism, and tearing.

But Lu Lin feels that the biggest problem of the current domestic screenwriters is that they have no sense of proportion, they are really a pen at the beginning, and the plot is all made up. Especially in some historical and court dramas, if the audience has a little bit of common sense, they feel that they can't watch it.

Speaking of the sense of proportion between the pen, many people who are engaged in literary creation should learn from Mr. Jin Yong.

For example, when he wrote "The Legend of the Deer and Ding", the imperial court discussed the abolition of the three feudatories, and Wei Xiaobao was also there. If it is replaced by a general TV series, Wei Xiaobao is afraid that he will stand beside Prince Kang with a big grin, he is a big celebrity next to the emperor!

But what Mr. Jin Yong wrote was that Emperor Kangxi issued a special decree, saying that Wei Xiaobao was sent to southern Yunnan, knew the inside story of Wu Fan, and ordered him to accompany him to discuss politics.

It's like saying that a unit has a standing committee, how can an ordinary small section chief be present. The top leader said that Comrade Xiao Wei had just returned from southern Yunnan and understood the situation, so he also came to listen and discuss!

With this sentence, the plot is much smoother and more reasonable. No, it's just fooling around.

Among the Chinese movies in recent years, if there is any film that can be extremely reasonable in terms of plot and has few loopholes, it should be "I Am Not the God of Medicine", which was a hit in 18 years.

I won't discuss what is good about the film, just one detail. Cheng Yong, played by Xu Zheng, went to the house of a single mother, Liu Sihui, and the woman went to take a bath, Xu Zheng was undressing very highly, and found a little girl standing at the door looking at him expressionlessly.

In the dead of night, my mother brought a strange man home. The six- or seven-year-old girl just looked at it indifferently, and the meaning behind it was self-evident. It is no wonder that Cheng Yong ran away, and his relationship with Liu Sihui came to an abrupt end.

One or two shots, but the content conveyed is terrifying. The directors and screenwriters of "I Am Not the God of Medicine" have a really good grasp of all the details of the whole play.

Speaking of the screenwriters' names in "I Am Not the God of Medicine", they are Zhong Wei, Wen Muye, and Han Jianu.

Among them, Han Jianu's origin is not simple, the beloved daughter of Han Sanye, the head of China Film, "The God of Medicine" is her first work after graduating from Beiying Master's Degree, and the first draft of the whole drama was written by her.

In the first draft of the script, Cheng Yong is also a patient, and the tragic color and practical significance of the whole play will be stronger.

But after watching it, Xu Zheng and Ning Hao thought that the subject matter itself was heavy enough, and they needed to balance it with the help of a slightly easier way of expression, otherwise it would look particularly depressing, and the audience would not be able to stand it.

It is under this guidance that the finished film of "I Am Not the God of Medicine" will be real in content and emotionally restrained. Let the audience laugh with tears, feel warmth and hope in tears, and finally find a rare balance between art and commerce.

Thinking of this, Lu Lin suddenly said: "By the way, Xu Zheng and Ning Hao are very talented, you have time to talk to them, it is best to sign with Long Lin, and it is easy to talk about investment or something!"

"Xu Zheng, Ning Hao?" Song Ge was a little surprised, because although these two cannot be said to be unknowns, they are really not dazzling in the Chinese film industry at this moment.

Xu Zheng starred in "People in Embarrassment" for 10 years, with a box office of 37.6 million, and he couldn't see the appearance of the track at all.

Ning Hao's previous works "Crazy Stone" and "Crazy Racing" had a good box office reputation, but "No Man's Land" filmed in 09 repeatedly failed to pass the review, and he was in a bad posture.

But Lu Lin said this, there must be a reason for him, Song Ge's recent work is to chat with all kinds of people, recruit troops for Long Lin, and say: "Okay, then I'll find time to make an appointment with them." By the way, the distribution department already has some rudimentary shapes, and the first task is the overseas distribution of "The Return of the Great Sage", which is really not on the European and American side?"

Lu Lin thought for a while and said: "If a European and American filmmaker comes to the door, there is no reason not to want the money sent to the door." If you don't have it, don't bother with it, specialize in Japan, South Korea and Southeast Asian markets, other aspects are easy to discuss, the key is to release on a large scale, and the number of theaters that will be screened is best to have a minimum amount, which can be written into the contract. ”

Song Ge knew Lu Lin's thoughts, and said with a smile: "Okay, I'll arrange these!" and asked Lu Lin again: "Shileng's special effects company, hasn't it been decided yet?"

Lu Lin said: "For the time being, there is a house, and there are not many subcontracted shots." It's the end of April now, and I want to catch up with the 11th National Day, so I plan to subcontract the lens to a few special effects companies to catch up with the progress this time!"

Song Ge smacked his tongue and said, "It's only been five months late, will it be too urgent?"

Lu Lin said: "I'm really in a hurry, but the Lunar New Year file already has "Jinling Thirteen Hairpins" and "Longmen Flying Armor", and "Ten Cold" is on it, I'm afraid everyone will have nothing to eat!"

Song Ge nodded and said, "Indeed, in today's Chinese-speaking market, there are three super blockbusters on one schedule, but I'm afraid that a few companies will have a hard time!"

Immediately, he said: "But "The Legend of the White Snake" announced that it will be set for the National Day, and it will be starring your senior brother Li Yangzhong, with an investment of 200 million!"

Lu Lin smiled, "Although Cheng Xiaodong is the director, my senior brother is the protagonist, and the distribution side has also signed a contract with Bo Na in advance, so there is nothing wrong with it." But the producer, Juli Pictures, has been established for less than a year, and he has not even made a theatrical movie, so he dares to play a 200 million production, I am afraid that he will repeat the mistakes of "Warring States"!"

The box office of "Warring States" was miserable, with less than 50 million in the first week. The reputation is also very miserable, Douban 3.9, but the worst thing is Miss Jingyan, whose reputation for not being able to act has spread all over the Internet. What kind of "Warring States" praises newcomers, the background is deep, and there are a lot of various analysis posts.

Of course, Song Ge knew about this, and smiled and said: "Hey, do you say that there are too many rich people in China? Or do they think about movies too simply, when I was in Wanda Pictures, I didn't dare to come up and make a blockbuster with an investment of more than 100 million yuan, unless I cooperated with a real commercial film director! They are good, rich and capricious!"

Lu Lin said with a smile: "It's not, there are always people who think that the money in the film industry is very profitable, and a few people know that half of the films made every year can't be released in theaters." More than eighty percent of those who can go to theaters can't make money, and there are only a few that can really make a lot of money!"

Song Ge sighed, "If you want to say that you want to make the most money, it has to be your "Return of the Great Sage", 2.3 billion, I couldn't think of it before, "Ten Cold", how much is it expected to have?"

Lu Lin said: "It must not be comparable to the Great Sage, but there should be no problem with more than one billion!"

Song Ge said: "The production cost is 100 million 900 million, plus the publicity and distribution cost of 780 million, it takes 800 million to protect the capital, how can it be more than 1 billion, so it is not in vain!"
