Chapter 161 I don't want to last forever, but I want to be a box office hit

After knowing that Su Xiaofan planned to make a theatrical movie, the atmosphere at the dinner table suddenly became lively again, asking what kind of film he was making, persuading him not to be in a hurry, and asking him who he was looking for to invest......

There are all kinds of problems.

Su Xiaofan didn't answer at all, and the sentence "It's not decided yet, it's just that I just have this idea" prevaricated.

After the finale banquet, Su Xiaofan and his three roommates happened to be going smoothly and were ready to take a taxi back together, but while waiting for the car on the side of the road, Dong Jiatong suddenly drove her MINI in front of several people and said directly to Su Xiaofan: "Get in the car, I have something to talk to you." ”

Seeing Dong Jiatong's serious face, Zheng Hao and Lao Ang suddenly looked at Su Xiaofan with strange eyes.

Su Xiaofan was also a little baffled, so he had to sit in the car alone, and said to Zheng Hao and Lao Ang: "Then I won't go with you, Daochang Li will hand it over to you, pay attention to safety on the road." ”

Zheng Hao shook Li Li, who was already unconscious and leaned on his shoulder, and replied, "Don't worry, you can't lose it." ”

Seeing that they finished greeting, Dong Jiatong stepped on the accelerator directly, and asked at the same time, "Do you really want to make a movie?"

"Questions?"

"Yes!" Dong Jiatong said with a serious face, "Although I admit that your directing ability is very strong, and you are not even bad in the circle, but so far you have made two short films and a promotional video, don't you think it's a bit too early to make a movie now?"

"Who dictates how many short films and how many promotional videos you have to make before you can make a movie?"

"Stipulated by investors!" Dong Jiatong immediately said, "Do you think that with your current achievements, others can rest assured that they will be able to invest in you?" Or are you going to ask for money from your family and do something that may not return you with all your money?"

"How do you know that you will lose all your money?" Su Xiaofan raised his eyebrows, "If I am confident, I will definitely not lose money?"

"That's what every director says...... But even Zhang Yimou's films have not been returned, the current film market is really not as simple as you imagined, so many films are released every year, don't you know how many box office hits?"

Su Xiaofan shook his head and stopped talking.

He knew that Dong Jiatong would persuade him like this, and he was really good for him, but many things, no matter how much he explained, it was useless.

In fact, Su Xiaofan just said that he is confident that he will definitely not lose money, it is not without basis, he mentioned the script to Dong Jiatong some time ago, and the two briefly discussed what kind of film can sell in the current film market.

In fact, the answer to this topic is complicated and complicated, and it is difficult to say, everyone knows that the story is exciting, and the special effects blockbuster with strong visual impact must be a blockbuster, but no matter which point it is, it is easier said than done.

Su Xiaofan needs to stand in the perspective of a film investment company, a market analyst and a risk assessor, specifically analyze the market and analyze the demand.

Although Su Xiaofan and Dong Jiatong are also insiders, their sensitivity to the market is actually a little higher than that of ordinary people, compared to professionals like Director Zheng Ronghua in Jinyu's investment department, it is too bad, so the two chatted for a long time and didn't reach an idea.

At that time, Su Xiaofan had a whim, and the current system has been upgraded to the "Wishing Lamp", and maybe the system can answer this question.

And this prophetic answer is undoubtedly very tempting!

At the same time, "33 Days of Broken Love" this month also gave Su Xiaofan a lot of inspiration for "conditional screening", so after setting various conditions, he put forward a requirement for the system: under these conditions, generate a movie script outline that meets the current market demand.

At this time, the system is equivalent to a market analyst, plus an outline screenwriter, because as long as the outline, the quotation given by the system is 500 points, and Su Xiaofan did not hesitate to redeem this outline.

After reading this outline, Su Xiaofan's confidence in the system immediately came up!

Whether it is the story itself or the style of the film, it is perfectly consistent with the requirements set by Su Xiaofan.

The outline is just a skeleton, and the skeleton determines the upper and lower limits of the script, and the rest is to add flesh and blood to the skeleton, and in the process of enriching the detailed content, it determines the final effect of the script.

Su Xiaofan felt that this skeleton was already the keel he asked for this time, even if the level of adding flesh and blood was worse, he would definitely be able to become a dragon if he couldn't become a dragon, if he was given a keel but turned into a reptile, then there was no need for him to mess around in this industry......

The production budget he set for the system is a low-budget movie of 10 million, and usually the box office revenue of three times the production cost can recover the cost, that is, 30 million box office revenue can be done without loss......

Thirty million, Su Xiaofan has this confidence!

And how much money you can make in the end depends on how well the details are handled.

Seeing that Su Xiaofan had been silent and did not speak, Dong Jiatong finally couldn't help but speak: "Do you understand what I mean?!"

"I understand, you are trying to persuade me to be down-to-earth and take it step by step. Su Xiaofan looked out the window, "But I don't think my decision is down-to-earth...... Think about it, in terms of ability, how much do you think it will improve me by continuing to make short films? In terms of influence, how much will it improve? In terms of economy, you don't have to spend money to make short films? It's harder to make money than feature films, isn't it?"

“……”

These three questions really stumped Dong Jiatong, and she really couldn't find the words to refute for a while.

"Is there a laptop in the car?" asked Su Xiaofan again.

Dong Jiatong nodded, glanced at Su Xiaofan a little strangely, and hurriedly put his gaze back to the front.

"Pull over, I'll show you something. ”

Dong Jiatong did so, even if there was a sign next to it that prohibiting parking on the whole road.

Su Xiaofan took out the USB flash drive he carried with him, and copied the script outline given by the system and the document he understood well to Dong Jiatong.

"Thai embarrassment?" Dong Jiatong knew that it was a comedy as soon as he looked at the name, which was similar to the direction of the film that the two had talked about before.

For a long time, the audience has been holding back too bitterly, and at this point in time, making the audience laugh is king.

After sitting in the car and reading the two documents, Dong Jiatong was immediately attracted by this story outline.

As a screenwriter, Dong Jiatong did not pay attention entirely to the story itself, but stood at a deeper level, and felt very strongly the posture of this script "not seeking eternity, but seeking box office popularity".

"Are you sure you want to shoot such a story?" Dong Jiatong said with some surprise, "It's not like your style......"
