The dinner with Sun Yan was in contact with He Xiaotao, and before tonight's dinner, Sun Yan had not been in contact with Ren He.

He Xiaotao had already had a brief chat with Sun Yan about the movie before, but he was not particularly clear about specific things.

Sun Yan only knew that Ren He invited him and wanted him to help direct a movie, in addition, the script of this movie has been determined, and the shooting budget will be quite generous.

In He Xiaotao's mouth, Ren He is a rich second generation, not the kind that has mines at home, but the kind with many mines at home.

Sun Yan actually doesn't like to deal with the rich second generation.

The reason he didn't like it was simple.

He just simply can't get used to these rich second generations who were born with a golden spoon in their mouths and were born to be full-level.

Who is not born by hard work to defeat hundreds of millions of brothers, why did you go straight to the peak of life when you were born?

But in the end, Sun Yan still agreed to the meal.

The reason for this decision is mainly due to his current situation.

In the first half of the year, Sun Yan released a well-crafted work, because the movie did not grasp the balance between the audience's preferences and his personal expression, which eventually led to the film's unsatisfactory reputation, and the box office was quite poor, and it can even be said to be quite a hit.

To what extent?

Even the first film he directed when he stepped into this circle, judging from the box office, was better than this one in the first half of the year.

Such a situation made those investors who were familiar with Sun Yan lose confidence in him, and even a small number of people would wonder if he was Jiang Lang's end.

But after all, Sun Yan is a slightly famous director, even if this movie does hit the streets, there are still investors who contact him to find him to make a movie.

It's just that in terms of shooting budget, he is very stuck, in addition, these people who come to talk about cooperation may be because of their lack of confidence in him, although the cooperation has not yet been written, but people have begun to point fingers at him about some of the shooting details of the cooperation project.

Sun Yan knew very well that if he agreed to cooperate with one of these people, it would be difficult for him to complete a work that had the strength to impact the Thousand Flowers Award in a limited time under such partial constraints.

Coincidentally, He Xiaotao contacted him at this juncture.

"The filming budget is enough, there will be no mandatory regulations, Mr. Ren's only request is that the script must be his, and the female number one must be designated by him. ”

After getting this information from He Xiaotao, even though he was a little uncomfortable with the investor's rich second-generation identity, Sun Yan still agreed to the dinner with the idea of giving it a try.

After actually coming into contact with Ren He at the dinner table, Sun Yan was a little surprised that Mr. Ren, who belonged to the "super rich second generation" in He Xiaotao's mouth, did not think highly of himself as he imagined, but was extremely easy-going.

After a simple greeting at the dinner table, Sun Yan, who had many questions in his heart, took the initiative to get down to business.

"Mr. Ren, it's a pleasure to chat with you, even if we don't talk about things today, but we can become very good friends, Mr. He told me before, the script you want to shoot is a science fiction theme, right?"

Very good friends?

I'm afraid it's a bit hard.

Because this matter will definitely be discussed, the movie will definitely hit the streets, and you will definitely hold a grudge against me for burying your directorial career in the future.

However, I can't help it, I'm going to die, and my only wish is to let Song Xiaoxuan leave this messy showbiz......

The deceased is greater...... I'm sorry, Director Sun......

Putting away the miscellaneous thoughts in his heart for the time being, Ren He coughed lightly and replied: "Yes, it is precisely because this is a sci-fi script, so I specially asked Mr. He to find you, after all, you are quite famous in the field of sci-fi movies in China." ”

"Where, some previous works may have been lucky, just shot what the audience wanted to see, and it can only be that the luck of the previous years was good, didn't I smash one in the first half of the year?" Sun Yan laughed, and did not shy away from mentioning the fact that the previous work hit the street.

Ren He smiled lightly: "There is a famous saying that there are a thousand people who have a cold heart in their hearts, although the box office is not ideal, it does not mean that it is a smash." ”

"Mr. Ren, to be honest, the reason for the failure of the movie some time ago, I later concluded, is because the script is not very outstanding, and I am too obsessed with rendering the characters and unimportant settings in the film, ignoring the story of the film to a certain extent, resulting in the story itself becoming more obscure. ”

With a smile on his face, Sun Yan went straight to the point: "So if you really plan to use a lot of money to shoot a science fiction film, the story told by the script itself is particularly important, if it is convenient, can you tell me about the content of the script?"

Ren He nodded, got up and handed over the tablet directly in front of him: "This is the first draft without modification, you can just read it directly." ”

Sun Yan took the tablet handed by Ren He, sat back in his position, and began to read curiously.

Ren He patiently waited for Sun Yan to give him feedback as a professional director.

As he expected, Sun Yan had not read the script for half a minute, and the other party's brows furrowed.

Immediately afterwards, Sun Yan, who frowned slightly, trembled inexplicably in the muscles of his cheeks.

And then......

And then there was no then.

Sun Yan raised his head directly, glanced at Ren He with a complicated expression, and then buried his head slightly, and glanced at the content on the tablet with a scrutinizing gaze.

Finally, he frowned and asked, "Mr. Ren...... You...... Are you sure this isn't a children's play?"

"This is a serious hard sci-fi theme. Ren He, who expected everything, made a dumbfounded expression and asked, "Director Sun, your reading speed is too fast, right...... What about a 50,000-word script, you can finish it in less than a minute?"

"When I saw the setting of 100 million engines pushing the earth in the outline above, my scalp was already numb...... Mr. Ren, the person who wrote this script is a genius, but I think he should not be suitable for writing such a script with a hard science fiction theme, but suitable for writing fantasy novels from the beginning......"

Sun Yan paused, and then said very bluntly: "Anyone with a little common sense knows that such a setting makes no sense from a scientific point of view...... Such a script can't be used in a hard science fiction genre at all, because his idea is unscientific and belongs to pure fantasy. ”

"So even if I didn't read the content behind it, just based on such an exaggerated setting explained earlier, IMHO, this has turned the whole script into garbage. ”

Sun Yan's words did not show the slightest mercy, such a remark even made He Xiaotao, who was sitting next to Ren He, a little unhappy, after all, even if things are not very good, it is too rude for you to talk about garbage in front of others, right?

But Ren He is like no one else, not only is he not angry, but he also agrees.

"You're right. ”

After expressing his affirmative attitude, Ren He found a small lockbox out of nowhere.

After putting the box on the table, Ren He asked out loud: "Maybe there is something inappropriate in this script, but Director Sun, I want to ask you, what do you think is the most important thing for a science fiction film to succeed?"
