Song Xingzhou Studio.

When I talked with Yao Ruoying before, Chen Lei still felt that Song Xingzhou was talented but could not be realized, but in fact, no matter how down-and-out he was, he was also a director who had made two movies and had his own studio.

However, Song Xingzhou is indeed not well received in the circle, in this circle where everyone looks to money, Director Song wants to make movies for his feelings, so it is difficult to get any resources.

In the information of pirated software, Song Xingzhou's popularity is only a pitiful 6, which is a little worse than the host Sun Yingying, who can't enter the main venue and can only warm up outside.

As a director who has already made two movies, with only this bit of popularity, it is no wonder that a big star like Wu Mengdie is difficult to think of all of a sudden.

However, Song Xingzhou's popularity is a little low, but his hidden attributes are very eye-catching, and his comprehensive directing ability is 14, of which the directing ability of science fiction themes and martial arts themes is 15, with a full score of 20 points, this is already a very high level.

In this era, the hottest theme in the Chinese film market deserves to be the theme of martial arts.

Don't look at the famous director Lu Guangyu's martial arts movie "Home and Country", which was hung up and beaten by "Star Fleet 2" in the same period, but it still achieved a box office of 1.12 billion, breaking the box office record of domestic films.

Song Xingzhou's previous two movies were also martial arts-oriented. The box office is average, just barely holding on to its capital.

But in this situation where the martial arts theme is very popular, the director's seat is a bolted dog, and the movies made can make money, protecting the capital is tantamount to losing money.

Therefore, after Song Xingzhou finished filming these two martial arts movies, although the audience's reputation was okay, no one asked him to cooperate in the follow-up.

In addition to comprehensive directing ability, as a director, two equally important attributes - charm and leadership ability, Song Xingzhou is a little weaker, only 10 and 11 respectively, which belongs to a relatively low level.

This means that if there is no leader with strong personality and outstanding leadership skills in the crew, and Song Xingzhou is allowed to take the lead alone, it will be difficult to do a good job, and it will be difficult for the final film to be brilliant.

This generation is similar to the original generation, and the crew is generally divided into three types: the producer is responsible, the director is responsible, and the screenwriter is responsible.

Nowadays, unless it is at the national level, similar to the coffee position of Jin Yong or Qiong Yao in later generations, it is basically the producer responsibility system or the director responsibility system, and the screenwriter responsibility system is very rare.

But what Chen Lei wants to implement in the future is the screenwriter responsibility system that is rare today. So it doesn't matter if the director has shortcomings, as long as the basic skills can be brilliant and don't pull the crotch.

In this regard, Song Xingzhou is the most suitable candidate that Chen Lei can find at this stage.

Although Song Xingzhou has no sense of existence in the circle, the circle either can't remember what kind of character this person is, or the impression of him is that of a quirky uncle or something.

Despite this, Song Xingzhou was very polite when he saw Chen Lei at this moment, and he simply shook hands with Chen Lei with the attitude of a junior meeting an elder.

It can be said that he is very polite, which makes Chen Lei a little embarrassed.

"Director Song, I originally wanted to say that when I came here, be casual, don't be nervous, but as soon as I looked up and found that this was your territory, it would be even more casual. Chen Lei said with a smile.

The young lady who served Chen Lei coffee laughed when she said this.

Song Xingzhou also felt that he seemed to be too restrained, and said a little embarrassed: "I have the opportunity to talk about cooperation with Mr. Chen, although it is only a preliminary talk, and it may be far from the real cooperation, but it still makes me very excited." People in the circle say that I am Song Xingzhou withdrawn, so I am even more afraid of losing my rudeness in front of Teacher Chen. ”

After receiving the coffee from the young lady of the staff, Chen Lei waved his hand: "I don't like to be polite, in comparison, I prefer to speak with my ability." ”

"Then I may be even more disappointed with Mr. Xiao Chen. Song Xingzhou's eyes were a little dim, and he said: "The two works I directed before were relatively dismal at the box office. ”

Chen Lei said: "I have watched both of Director Song's movies, whether in terms of my personal perception or media evaluation, they are all works above the standard. As for the unsatisfactory box office, there are many reasons, of course, there are also reasons for Director Song, but there are also other people's reasons, if you put this pot on you, I think it's unfair. ”

After the previous two movies hit the street, Song Xingzhou was criticized and blamed by many insiders, and it was difficult to get resources again, which made him a little self-doubting. At this time, he could hear Chen Lei's objective and pertinent evaluation, which made Song Xingzhou a little moved, and his good impression of Chen Lei deepened.

After some politeness, Song Xingzhou asked: "Teacher Xiao Chen really wants to put a shocking story like "The Wandering Earth" on the big screen?"

Chen Lei didn't rush to answer, but asked rhetorically: "If, I mean if, "The Wandering Earth" really wants to be made into a film and television, does Director Song think that with the current level of the film industry in China, can he complete such a large-scale and special effects-heavy science fiction movie?"

Song Xingzhou stopped talking, lowered his head and fell into deep thought.

Chen Lei was not in a hurry to urge, sitting opposite him, drinking coffee slowly. To be honest, the coffee is really very ordinary, Chen Lei even wondered if the young lady just now secretly went to a convenience store outside and bought instant coffee after seeing a guest coming.

Finally finished drinking this cup of coffee, the staff lady came out again, and politely asked Mr. Xiao Chen if he wanted another cup, Chen Lei quickly refused, saying that it would be good to pour a glass of boiled water. As a result, the young lady thought that Teacher Xiao Chen was polite, and gave him another cup.

The key is that this young lady looks quite sweet, and she looks harmless to humans and animals.

After the second cup of coffee was served, she saw that Song Xingzhou had fallen into a long exam, and she didn't know if she was afraid that the guests would be left out, so she stood next to her and didn't leave, looking at herself with anticipation.

Chen Lei couldn't drink the coffee, so in order to alleviate the embarrassment, he had no choice but to say: "Is this coffee freshly ground by you, it smells very good." ”

The young lady was very simple-minded, and said directly: "Is it really fragrant?" I just bought it from the supermarket outside, and the boss said that this one has the strongest fragrance, and I heard you say so, the boss really didn't lie to me. ”

"Uh......"

Chen Leixin said, the boss didn't lie to you, I lied to you.

It's not good at all.

"Hey, Teacher Xiao Chen, why don't you drink it?" Seeing that Chen Lei didn't move the cup for a long time, the young lady asked.

"This coffee is so fragrant, just smell it, it's a bit of a waste to drink it. Chen Lei said casually.

"Oh, that's right. ”

The young lady nodded and stopped talking, but she could be faintly heard muttering: "Sure enough, only such a strange guy can be respected by my brother." ”

“……”

Life is sometimes like this, and if you want to alleviate one embarrassment, you will often fall into another embarrassment.

After a long while, Song Xingzhou finally recovered from his long thoughts and brought Chen Lei an unexpected news.
