Chapter 382: Second Movie
The second day of the opening of the Light and Shadow Studio.
Lin Xiaoguang looked at the dozen or so flower baskets sent by friends in the house yesterday, and his mood was slightly rippling.
However, because there is no film and television business at present, in the entire studio, except for Lin Xiaoguang, there are only assistant Xiao Luo, a financial girl, a sweeping aunt, and two security guards, etc., adding up to less than 10 people in total.
Early in the morning, Lin Xiaoguang made an appointment with Xu Zheng, thinking that he had bought 3 million original shares yesterday, so he specially asked Huayi's financial director for the company's statements to understand Huayi's business conditions in recent years.
After Xu Zheng came, as soon as he stepped into the door of the office, he saw Lin Xiaoguang reading the report with his head down, so he joked at him: "Boss Lin, can you understand?"
Lin Xiaoguang said calmly: "I can't understand it, but I can learn it." ”
Xu Zheng suddenly realized: "I can see it, your boss's trick is called interest bundling, when you old employees hold the company's original shares, you will begin to really pay attention to your company." ”
The so-called difficulty in fighting the country, and it is even more difficult to sit in the country.
Since the victory is so hard-won, since Feng Xiaowan left Huayi and Zhang Guoguo's independent portal, Huang Zhongjun, who is famous for his "brain activity", is naturally the next step to consider is to continue to control the core competitiveness - people.
Huang Zhongjun's far-sighted "encirclement technique" was fully demonstrated in the listing planning process of Huayi Brothers.
Not only did Lin Xiaoguang get the opportunity to subscribe for the original shares, but Zhang Jizhong, Li Bingbing and others also profited from it, and they also began to care about the development of the company.
Listening to Xu Zheng's emotion, Lin Xiaoguang put the report aside and sneered: "Old Xu, I don't agree with your statement, what is the bundling of interests? I only spent more than one million yuan in total to buy three million stocks, and more than one million yuan can trap me Lin Xiaoguang? You can't help but underestimate me too much." ”
Xu Zheng said angrily: "Do you know what the concept of 3 million shares is? 5 cents and 3 original shares, you yourself started 3 million shares, and if you Huayi can be listed at that time, maybe you will become a multimillionaire or even a billionaire in one day." ”
Lin Xiaoguang said a little complacently: "There is nothing to do with these eight words, who knows if the company can be listed, it is too early to discuss this." ”
Without waiting for Xu Zheng to answer, Lin Xiaoguang continued: "Okay, Lao Xu, I won't talk nonsense with you, I came to you today mainly to ask you to help me come up with ideas." ”
"Tell me, Boss Lin, do you have any ambitions that you need me to give you?" Xu Zheng took off the hat on his head, revealing his slippery bald head, and sat on the side leisurely, and cocked Ke Erlang's legs in a trembling manner.
Although he has his own studio, Lin Xiaoguang's studio does not have any technical talents.
Of course, Lin Xiaoguang's studio itself does not need any talents, because Lin Xiaoguang himself is not only a director, but also a screenwriter, and an agent, as for technicians such as photography and lighting, as long as the film project is formed, producer Huang Zhongjun will quickly help him form a crew team, and can also help him bring in film funds, so that he has no worries at all and can make movies with one mind.
Lin Xiaoguang knew very well in his heart that making a movie first needed a good script, so he summoned Xu Zheng to a meeting and sketched out a grand blueprint.
Lin Xiaoguang's vision is as follows:
The studio first took out a little money, and if nothing else, it formed a team of screenwriters and asked them to help select and adapt the script.
As for meeting Xu Zheng, it is because Lin Xiaoguang believes that Xu Zheng himself has an extremely terrifying amount of reading, and he has watched at least hundreds of foreign movies in recent years, and he is a film talent who can "sinicize" foreign movies.
Aside from the TV series he starred in before, like the movie "People in Embarrassment" that Lin Xiaoguang collaborated with him before, Lin Xiaoguang copied Xu Zheng and Huang Baoqiang's "People in Embarrassment" in his previous life, while Xu Zheng copied Steve Martin's old film - "Planes, Trains, Cars".
The word "sinicization", at first glance, seems to be a bit high-end, to be practical, it actually means plagiarism, Lin Xiaoguang plagiarized Xu Zheng, and Xu Zheng also plagiarized others.
This matter, Lin Xiaoguang also found out when he was in Vancouver some time ago when he was waiting for Li Xiaoran to give birth, and he was bored and rented some European and American films to go home to spend time, because the plot in "Planes, Trains, Cars" is almost exactly the same as his own "People in Embarrassment", which is sinicization (plagiarism) in the real sense.
Listening to the blueprint described by Lin Xiaoguang, Xu Zheng nodded: "I can help you find someone, you have to pay for this money yourself." ”
"Of course. Lin Xiaoguang thought about it and asked Xu Zheng again: "By the way, Lao Xu, does Liu Yiwei have any good scripts on hand?"
As soon as he heard Lin Xiaoguang mention Liu Yiwei, Xu Zheng couldn't help but sigh: "Hey, let's not mention Lao Liu, this guy has a bad year, I thought the box office of "Fate Call Transfer" was dismal enough, but I didn't expect that he was also suspected of plagiarism because he wrote this script, and he was just sued by the original author in court a few days ago. ”
"Lao Liu, it's not a big deal, right?" Lin Xiaoguang asked worriedly.
Xu Zheng said disapprerovingly: "There is a big copy of the world's articles, what big things can he do, at most he can lose some money privately and reconcile with people outside the family." ”
"It's nothing to lose money, the key is that he also lost the screenwriting rights of the second part of "Love Call Transfer". ”
The investors were very disappointed in him, and now they don't dare to let him write the script, for fear that he copied the script from somewhere. ”
Listening to Xu Zheng's emotion, Lin Xiaoguang couldn't help but sneer: "This Lao Liu is also a talent, and he can start in the entertainment industry by copying." ”
In fact, not only Liu Yiwei's "Fate Call Transfer" is plagiarism, but almost all of the popular comedy movies in the mainland and even Hong Kong and Taiwan are hodgepodges, either copying Hollywood or copying Japan and South Korea, and there is nothing of his own, Liu Yiwei is still a good copy.
Therefore, those filmmakers in the mainland are really not qualified to diss people to seal pants, and those civic comedies in the early years of Feng Xiaowan are at least their own things or Wang Shuo's things, recording the lives of the ordinary people in Beijing.
As for Liu Yiwei, he was really not wronged at all.
In the play "Fate Call Transfer", three identical mobile phones of three people will be taken by each other due to fate, resulting in a series of stories, which look like the plot of two people in the same car and then carrying the wrong bag in a certain network.
As for the story of a composer falling in love with two girls who look the same in the second paragraph, it is similar to the stories in countless shoddy magazines, just like Ning Can and Xin Ran in "Fate Call Transfer".
Therefore, for a long time after filming "People in Embarrassment", Lin Xiaoguang has been reflecting on whether his second film is a sequel to "People in Embarrassment", or a film work that other big directors have not had time to make, or start from scratch and make an original movie of his own.
In addition, Lin Xiaoguang has also considered adapting the most popular networks on the Internet, such as "Ghost Blowing the Lantern", into a big movie, but with the current domestic technology and funds, he is not allowed to be so nonsense, so he can only temporarily dispel this idea.
It was so calm for a few days.
Xu Zheng introduced five young screenwriters to Lin Xiaoguang as the screenwriting team of "Light and Shadow Studio".
Subsequently, Lin Xiaoguang and Xu Zheng, as well as the five screenwriters, had a heated discussion on what movie to make next, which included suspicion, horror, funny, and various movie themes with plots, which can be described as diverse and imaginative.
Although there is a lot of strength in numbers, the big guys have been arguing together every day for a full meal, and the light and shadow studio has not come up with a substantive result.
In the end, it was a young female screenwriter named Zhu Liping who put forward a slightly constructive suggestion: "Boss, why don't we make a youth movie? ”
Lin Xiaoguang yawned and said, "Xiao Zhu, if you have any good ideas, just say it, don't hide it." ”
This Zhu Liping is a female college student who has just graduated from the Chinese Department of National Taiwan University, and her favorite thing on weekdays is to watch idol dramas in Taiwan, or some youth.
After getting Lin Xiaoguang's permission, Zhu Liping plucked up her courage and said her thoughts: "You may not know that there is a particularly popular pure love in Taiwan this year, the name of that one is "The Girl We Chased Together in Those Years", the author is Nine Knives, I think that one is very suitable for remake into a movie." ”
"Oh, so you're talking about that......"
Just when Lin Xiaoguang was pondering what to continue to say, a screenwriter named Datou spoke: "Boss, I have also watched the one mentioned by Xiao Zhu, but its story is about the youth of young people in Taiwan, I don't think our mainland audiences will be interested in the youth stories in Taiwan, let alone resonate." ”
In other words, Lin Xiaoguang is different from many big directors in the circle, many directors are thinking about how to make some high-quality movies and win awards, so as to improve their status, what he is making money to shoot now, and he doesn't care about those false names.
On the other hand, Lin Xiaoguang is also self-aware, he doesn't think that he can become an artist director by virtue of his level of becoming a monk halfway.
