"Recently, I received some scripts..."

When the celebration was about to end, Li Mengru, who had been busy all night, came over to have a private chat with Luo Kai: "You can help me see if there is anything more suitable for us." ”

Luo Kai was surprised: "So anxious?"

"Chasing the Murderer" has just been completed, and there are still two months before the official release, and in the case of unknown box office prospects, Li Mengru can't wait to prepare a new script, which in his opinion is too anxious.

"What's the hurry..."

Li Mengru said disapprenously: "I have to prepare for the company's plan for next year, since I have decided to enter this circle, then I can't fall behind others." ”

The domestic film and television drama industry is a huge cake, especially the world's largest annual growth rate of the movie box office, and the corresponding competition is also extremely fierce.

Strictly speaking, Li Mengru is not very radical in preparing a new movie now.

Luo Kai smiled: "Aren't you afraid of losing money in "Chasing the Murderer"?"

The script of "Chasing the Murderer" was selected by Luo Kai, and he personally participated in the adaptation, and served as the leading actor, if the box office failure causes Dream Media to lose money, his vision is obviously very problematic.

In the case of an uncertain future, Li Mengru still let him choose the script, and his confidence in him is not ordinary.

"I can afford to lose this money!"

Mr. Li was very domineering: "And I don't believe that "Chasing the Murderer" will lose money, it's enough for me to have confidence in you, I'll send the script over tomorrow, you take a good look, we can invest more in the next movie." ”

"Chasing the Murderer" can be regarded as a test of the waters of Dream Media, with an investment of only 20 million, and Dream Media only contributed more than half of the funds, which is a small fight for Li Mengru.

At present, the mainstream view in the circle is that there is no situation where large input and large output, blockbuster films produce large box office, and small-budget films gain high box office, but the probability of occurrence will only get lower and lower, which is also due to the market environment.

For example, the remuneration of big-name stars often accounts for half or more of the investment, and small-budget movies can't afford to use them at all, and their appeal in the market is too weak, and theaters are not willing to give this kind of movie how much to schedule, unless the word-of-mouth is amazing after release.

Another reason why Li Mengru is confident in "Chasing the Murderer" is that this film has a very important partner - Jiandun Film and Television Art Center, which has a close relationship with the Chinese cinema line, so there is a basic guarantee in the film scheduling.

After all, "Chasing the Murderer" is a semi-commercial film that is biased towards the main theme style, and it belongs to the supported film type of the Chinese cinema line with an official background.

At present, "Chasing the Murderer" has been set for New Year's Day, and the Chinese cinema line will give the corresponding proportion of films after watching this movie, and it is optimistically estimated that it will not be less than 15%.

Li Mengru has said everything to this, so what else can Luo Kai say: "Okay then." ”

Li Mengru smiled, she is very familiar with Luo Kai now, and she knows that Luo Kai's temperament is a little lazy, and it will definitely not work if she doesn't put some pressure on her.

"Actually, you can also write your own script, I think you have the ability!"

Li Mengru's words made Luo Kai raise his eyebrows.

If you really want to talk about movies and TV scripts, there are countless in his memory, no less than musical works, and it's really simple to find a few classics.

But the trouble...

Luo Kai smiled: "You think too highly of me, let's read other people's scripts first." ”

He can't let Li Mengru develop the habit of relying on himself, just for "Chasing the Murderer", he has enough work to review the script, revise the script, play the leading role, create and sing the theme song and dubbing soundtrack.

That is, because "Chasing the Murderer" is the first film of Dream Media and the company's first show in the film and television industry, the impact of failure is too bad and his responsibility lies, so he works so hard.

The next movie will definitely not be able to continue to wear many hats like this, not to mention writing scripts, or simply take on the director's job?

That's not exhausting!

In the reborn world, Luo Kai was tired enough, so he instinctively put the trouble off first.

"Then be serious..."

Li Mengru glanced at him and said, "Don't forget, the company makes money, and you also make money." ”

Shao Honghui once talked to her about the script of "Chasing the Murderer" in private, saying that Luo Kai's vision and ability are very strong, this script is very well chosen, and the adaptation is even more wonderful.

If you follow the script of the original author Lu Hong, it is difficult to have a commercial market for the things filmed, and it is estimated that the theaters will not be able to get on, and at most they will go abroad to participate in the awards of literary films, and they may not be able to get much benefit, and it is undoubtedly thankless for Dream Media to invest in shooting.

But the quality of the script itself is very good, and the story is also realistic, Luo Kai picks out the highlights and expands them, greatly weakening the dark and oppressive plot, while retaining the story framework, consciously looking for a balance between art and commerce.

In this regard, Luo Kai crushed a large number of professional screenwriters in the circle, and his familiarity with movie scripts really surprised Shao Honghui.

Therefore, Shao Honghui believes that Luo Kai is fully capable of writing scripts independently.

So now Li Mengru gave it a small try, and found that Luo Kai was hiding it, and she didn't deliberately expose this, anyway, it will be a long time coming.

The longer I have known Luo Kai, the more Li Mengru feels that he is unfathomable, like a treasure buried deep underground, revealing the tip of the iceberg forever.

Not only did Li Mengru feel this way, but Mo Lan also had it, and on the way home, she couldn't help but ask: "If I ask you to order a movie script for me, can you help me write it?"

Luo Kai was surprised: "Huh?"

Mo Lan was serious: "Don't be perfunctory, I'll ask you if it's okay." ”

How can a man say no!

Luo Kai's face was a little distorted: "Okay, it must be done!"

Mo Lan pursed her lips and smiled, of course she was joking, she just wanted to see Luo Kai's attitude towards herself: "You can write songs and sing, you can film and write screenplays, so what else can't you do?"

"I won't be much more..."

As he spoke, Luo Kai turned his head and gave Mo Lan a ** look, the very ambiguous kind.

Mo Lan's pretty face suddenly turned red, and she glanced at him fiercely - Niuniu is still sitting in the back, what do you think!

However, Niu Niu was already asleep leaning back in her seat.

Driving a Mercedes-Benz car mixed in with the rolling forward traffic, a faint smile appeared on the corner of Luo Kai's lips.

He likes his current life very much, it is not particularly busy or empty, and the most important thing is to be by his side, with people who love and are loved.

So, it feels good to be home.
