Wu Ershan handed the script to Tang An, and at the same time explained it on the side.

"Director Tang, that's the concept art I drew myself, and the movie adopts a three-stage narrative structure......"

As an advertising director, no matter how successful it is, it is only an advertising director, and it is definitely not easy to get an investment to make a movie.

And Tang An's investment is definitely more useful than the investment of that "Asia Star Gravity Project"!

This is a great opportunity, the best opportunity to step into the upper reaches of the directing industry.

Tang An looked very carefully, and Wu Ershan also talked a lot.

For more than half an hour, Tang An watched the script and listened to him say all the ideas in the creative process.

After turning the last page, Tang An put down the script.

"Very good spoof comedy, with a strong personal style and absurd techniques!"

Tang An first affirmed the creation of this script, and at the same time spoofed the comedy, which is much better than the later films such as "Ten Perfect" and "Don Quixote".

has a strong personal style, simply put, the same crew, the same actors, and any director will not shoot the same as him.

This has Liu Zhenwei's "East Becomes West" and Wang Jiawei's "East Evil and West Poison".

It's a good thing and a bad thing, the good side is that it's easier to gather a group of loyal fans, and the bad thing is that the audience won't be too wide.

However, judging from the subsequent situation, Wu Ershan still has a good coordination between his personal style and the market.

Affirmed by Tang An, Rao is the pretentious Wu Ershan, and he can't help but feel a little proud in his heart.

But he knew that there was still something to come, and continued to wait for Tang An's criticism.

Sure enough.

"However, how many viewers do you think will accept your style, and is there a film with a similar style of yours on the market that has been successful?" Tang An asked lightly.

In the face of Tang An's questioning, Wu Ershan was not flustered, he explained, "Director Tang, I only need more than 6 million costs for this "Knife and Smile", and it is impossible for a small-budget movie to attract most of the audience, as long as it is distinctive, it can attract a part of the audience that suits the taste, and profit will not be a problem!"

Tang An's eyes lit up, Wu Ershan is really smart.

For example, if you have 100 audiences, if you want to make a blockbuster with an investment of hundreds of millions, you must cater to most of the tastes, and if you can mix a little less, you will have less personal style.

But he's made it clear now that I'm just going to make the money of those 10 people, and the more obvious the style, the better.

Tang An turned to smile and said, "Then if it's not "Knife Laughter", but another costume blockbuster?"

"That ......"

Before Wu Ershan could say anything, his eyes suddenly widened, and his face was full of disbelief.

"Don... Director Tang, what are you talking about... Costume blockbuster?" deliberately bit the last four words very hard.

Tang An didn't care about his shocked expression, and continued, "Just like you said, "Knife and Laughter" doesn't need to satisfy the tastes of all audiences, so if it is a costume blockbuster with an investment of nearly 100 million yuan, and still maintains your style, how can I recover the cost." ”

Tang An said and raised the script, waiting for his answer.

Wu Ershan's mind quickly flashed countless thoughts, and he said without hesitation, "I will definitely cater to the market and make films that the audience likes to watch!"

Costume blockbuster, if it weren't for Tang An's special pastime for him, it would be really lucky.

No matter what the situation is, follow Tang An's words and say that it is right.

"At present, my studio is ready to invest in a costume blockbuster ......"

"If it were you, how would you tell this story well?"

Tang An immediately explained the plot roughly, but did not explain that this film was "Painted Skin".

Wu Ershan listened very carefully, thought for a while and said, "If you want to cater to most of the audience, this should be based on the relationship between the two husbands and wives of the male protagonist, the general brought the banshee home, and the general's wife began to suspect for some reason, her suspicion caused the general to be unhappy, and the general's wife had to find her old friend to get rid of the demon......."

"The ending demon must die, but in the end, she can be filmed as a good demon, and the general and the general's wife will also release their previous suspicion......s."

Tang An nodded, the main line must be clear and clear, and it is in line with the three views of most ordinary people.

Xiaosan, still a demon, if she is allowed to be with the male protagonist, and it is still in the case of the two couples who have a good relationship, I am afraid that she will be scolded to death.

"Alright, that's it, in a week, you come back!"

There's nothing else to say, the movie is not like a TV series, you can be imprisoned by a script, just make sure that there are no problems with the main plot, tell the story well, and let him play those side details!

So easy to take?

Wu Ershan was a little stunned, but he still nodded and agreed.

"However, Director Wu should think carefully about how to find a balance between your own personal style and the market, if we can cooperate, I will supervise the whole shooting, and if there is any problem, I will change people at any time, I hope you understand!" Tang An added.

"I understand, Don't worry, Director Tang, I will not let you down!" Wu Ershan nodded hurriedly.

"This film is going to be filmed, I will also invest in "Knife Laughter", and when the time comes, whatever you want to shoot, I will not interfere with anything!"

At the end, Tang An gave a guarantee!

Although they chatted for less than half an hour, Tang An probably understood something about his later films.

People are definitely not stupid, they have the ability, they can see the market clearly, as long as there are people behind them who are exerting pressure, they should not let him down.

As for "Knife and Laughter", it was his first movie, and he wrote his own script for two years, so he must have a special emotion.

promised to invest, and gave him the greatest rights, that can be regarded as a sweet date after beating.

There is nothing to say about the plot of the painted skin, in fact, most of it still depends on the performances of the actors.

After another two days, the two of them also thought about it, and Tang An took Xu Yanyun to talk about investment.

The location is still in a hotel, not in anyone's home turf.

"Hello Yu Dong, hello Mr. Pang!"

Say hello and sit down.

Each of them brought two assistants, one more than Tang An's side.

After a while, we officially got to the point.

Pang Hong gave a copy of the movie script and plan to each person.

introduced, "The script has been completed by director Cheng Jiashang and several screenwriters, and there are not many scenes of location scenes and reviews. In addition to the actors' salaries, we also made a detailed budget, Yu Dong, Mr. Tang, you can see if there are any problems. ”

Pang Hong took a sip of water after speaking, and waited for their reply on the side.

Not counting the remuneration of the main actors, plus the salary of the crew and the remuneration of group performances, the total cost is about 50 million.

A few desert scenes, the exteriors of the cottage need to be set up to exterminate the sand bandits, and the last scene, the studio also needs to be built separately.

Most of the others are indoor dramas, and 50 million should be enough!
