Chapter 004: Choose a good movie
[This consultation requires 10 points, is the host willing to accept it?]
"10 points? Okay. Zhou Chen felt a little painful, but he quickly agreed.
In the blink of an eye, a long report appeared in his mind.
Zhou Chen quickly looked behind, but found that there was no conclusion, and he did not recommend the two most suitable movies to him.
"Can't you give the best choice?" Zhou Chen asked suspiciously.
[No, the reality is complex, not immutable, and needs to be considered by the host itself.] 】
"Understood. ”
Zhou Chen nodded helplessly, so he had to look at the report carefully from the beginning, and he realized that the data given in these reports were all information about the release of the movie on the earth.
In this way, there is still a certain reference value, and Zhou Chen no longer feels sorry for the precious 10 points.
Some of these 15 small and medium-cost movies have an investment of hundreds of thousands or hundreds of thousands, but the box office is as high as more than one billion.
Zhou Chen was both expecting and worried.
I expect that the remake can also be successful, but I am worried that most of these movies are foreign-language films and horror films, and the remake of Chinese films will not work well and fail miserably at the box office.
What's more, he actually needs not only the box office, but also fame, influence, and social status.
To defeat the monster that combines power and capital, he must first become a monster.
Zhou Chen plans to choose two from "Heart Labyrinth", "This Man is from Earth", and "Three Fools".
Each of the 15 films has its own advantages and disadvantages, but these three films best meet his needs.
The cost of "Three Fools" is as high as 55 million yuan, although it is a realistic education theme, which is more suitable for remakes, but now Zhou Chen can only give up, so he can only choose the other two movies.
As soon as Zhou Chen made a decision, Gu Xiaojiao's urging voice sounded from the bedroom.
"Zhou Chen, have you washed it, come here. ”
"Here, what's wrong, so anxious?" Zhou Chen withdrew his attention from the system, washed the apple, and returned to the bedroom.
"You see you've been contacted by several well-known executives from film and television companies. Gu Xiaojiao said, opening one of the messages.
Zhou Chen handed the apple to Gu Xiaojiao and lowered his head to look.
"Hello, screenwriter Gu Yu, I am Feng Keqiang, the director of the film investment department of Tianmeng Film and Television, your script "Crazy Stone" is very good, we like it very much, is it convenient to contact privately?"
"Tianmeng Film and Television is the third largest film and television company in China, and it is famous for producing high-quality film and television dramas, which shows that the quality of your script is very good, and if you sell it to them, the script will not be ruined. ”
Gu Xiaojiao took a bite of the apple, waited for Zhou Xia to finish reading, and said seriously.
"Well, indeed, I think again, if it is possible, I want to shoot it myself. Zhou Chen said frankly.
"That's even better, you can use the script to work with them, and Tianmeng also likes to train new directors!"
Gu Xiaojiao was even happier, and opened another message as he spoke: "What about this, this one is even bigger." ”
"Hello screenwriter Gu Yu, I am Zhang Xinnian, director of Huaying Cultural Investment Center, we are very interested in your script of "The Great Wall", I hope it ......"
Zhou Chen was stunned when he saw this news, and sure enough, he saw Gu Xiaojiao also looking at him with some excitement.
Huaying is a state-owned enterprise, the largest film and television group in China, and the cultural investment center is the cultural investment center, and the position of director is not low.
"Zhou Chen, what do you think, Huaying only opened 1 million, and Xia Tang Pictures opened 1.2 million. ”
Gu Xiaojiao's eyes flickered, looking at Zhou Xia expectantly.
She was more inclined to Huaying in her heart, but she didn't say it, this kind of thing still has to be decided by Zhou Chen, and she won't talk about any opinions.
"It's all pretty good, we still need to talk about it after contact, maybe we should ask a professional to help?" Zhou Chen looked at Gu Xiaojiao thoughtfully.
"Okay, let's go to Mr. Yuan for help. Gu Xiaojiao's face bloomed with joy, Zhou Chen just said 'we', it can be seen that she didn't treat her as an outsider, she liked this feeling very much.
As far as she knew, Zhou Chen was going to confess to her when she graduated from college, but after that incident, Zhou Chen was completely depressed, and the matter was over.
But in her heart, it makes no difference whether she confesses or not, anyway, the people around her think they have been together for a long time.
"Okay, I happened to have something to do back to school. ”
"Okay, you go, hurry up and take a shower, it's all stinky to death, change this clothes, I'll wash them all for you." ”
Gu Xiaojiao smelled the strange smell on Zhou Chen's body again, and he didn't want to endure it anymore, so he stood up and pushed Zhou Chen out.
"What did I change, you just washed all my clothes. Zhou Chen was a little embarrassed, he actually didn't take a shower last night, but his clothes hadn't been washed for a long time.
"Hmph, then you have to take a shower first, and besides, if you want to wear a T-shirt and shorts to see the teacher, you must find other formal clothes to wear. ”
"Okay, okay, don't push. ”
Zhou Xia was pushed to the door of the bathroom by Gu Xiaojiao, smelling the fragrance on her body, looking at her beautiful face, her heart couldn't help but feel hot, and grabbed her cold and soft little hand.
"What are you doing, dead pervert. Gu Xiaojiao's face turned red, and he quickly withdrew his hand, and looked at Zhou Chen whitely.
"I ...... What's wrong?" Zhou Chen was dumbfounded, how could this be perverted?
"Shameless. Gu Xiaojiao didn't explain, her pretty face turned even redder, pushed Zhou Chen into the bathroom, pulled the door and turned around and left quickly.
Zhou Chen stood in the bathroom, putting water in the bathtub while thinking about Gu Xiaojiao's abnormal reaction.
Gu Xiaojiao is usually very aggressive, let alone holding hands, just the two of them frolicking and playing together, rolling together, she has never said such a thing.
After a while, the bathtub was full of water, Zhou Chen took off his clothes, and was about to go in and soak, when suddenly he had a flash of inspiration, and then he understood.
Could it be that Gu Xiaojiao thought he wanted to take her to wash together?
Hehe, it's really beautiful to think about.
Zhou Chen was stupidly happy.
But it doesn't matter, he can't run anyway, the most important thing now is to complete the tasks of the system, and he began to think about the next plan.
The house where Zhou Chen lives now is that of his good buddy Yang Xuewen, he grew up in the imperial capital of Huangcheng, and his family has a courtyard house in the second ring road.
The three-bedroom apartment near the school is the investment of his family, and it will be Yang Xuewen's wedding room in the future.
After graduating from college, Yang Xuewen dragged him who was depressed at the time to move here, and after saying that the monthly rent of 3,000 was owed first, Zhou Chen did not live politely.
Students from art academies like them, after graduation, whether they have a contracted company or agent, most of them send resume photos and wait at home for the director to contact the crew.
The imperial capital is the political, economic and cultural center of the country, and there are many opportunities, so most people naturally stay here and become a member of the North Drift.
"Heart Labyrinth" invested 1.7 million and received 11 million at the box office, with a return rate of 6.5 times, which is an excellent Chinese crime film, and "This Man from Earth" invested 20,000 US dollars, with a global box office income of nearly 350 million US dollars, and a return of 17,500 times......"
Zhou Chen was lying in the bathtub, looking at the box office data of the two movies on the report in the system, and he was really shocked.
He chose these two movies more because he liked the scripts of the two movies.
Generally speaking, this kind of small-budget and art-oriented movie, even if it has a good reputation and high evaluation, the box office is very average, I really didn't expect these two movies to be so successful at the box office, especially the latter.
There is only one main scene in the whole movie, and the actors bring their own costumes and props, and they gather around the room for a discussion, which is somewhat similar to solving the mystery of the secret room.
This form of fireside night chat successfully breaks away from the inherent routines of traditional science fiction films such as "laser plus metal", and advances in the form of pure dialogue, interpreting drama-style soft science fiction, providing another possibility for science fiction films.
The most important thing is that the cost is small and the shooting and production time is short, after Zhou Chen finishes filming, he can shoot "Heart Labyrinth" or "Crazy Stone" again, which will help him complete the system task in the future.
But to remake it into a Chinese film, the revision of the film's script, the identity of the protagonist, and the selection of several old actors must be dealt with, otherwise it will ruin this classic movie.
