Chapter 428: Night Talk
Outside the manor, Liu Pian and Zhou Mulan said goodbye to Robert and walked towards the villa not far from the next door.
Zhou Mulan's home is next door, but after going to college, she rarely goes home, usually staying at school.
In Beverly Hills, the residents are either rich or expensive, and more of them are stars in the entertainment industry. Robert is one of them, and so is Zhou Mulan's family.
The Zhou family immigrated to the United States from Xiangjiang a long time ago, and then took root in the United States, first doing physical business, and then looking at the entertainment industry, so they moved to Hollywood, relying on their early excellence to become a behind-the-scenes shareholder of Warner and Universal.
The Zhou family is not a small family, Zhou Hao's family presides over the entertainment industry, and other industries are taken care of by other people in the Zhou family.
Somewhat similar to Yuhao.
Yuhao's real awesome is not Yuhao Entertainment, its industry covers many popular industries, and it is a business giant in Xiangjiang, both black and white.
Of course, the foundation of the Zhou family is not as glamorous as it looks on the surface, and there is inevitably blood competition behind the development process.
.........
After arriving at the villa, Zhou Mulan took Liu Pian to the door of a study.
"Father is waiting for you inside. She said, "You talk slowly, I'll go and rest first." ”
Liu Pian nodded, watched Zhou Mulan leave, and then knocked on the door.
"Please come in. ”
Liu Pian pushed the door in, and in the room, Zhou Hao was wearing casual casual clothes and sitting in front of the coffee table, with a pot of boiled tea in front of him.
"I heard Mu Lan say, you have drunk a lot of wine, come, drink some tea to relieve the bar. ”
Zhou Hao smiled and poured a cup of tea for Liu Pian, the tea fragrance was overflowing, mellow but not sweet, and the faint fragrance rushed into the body, making Liu Pian's little drunkenness disappear in an instant.
He took a sip, but he had never studied tea, so he couldn't tell what kind of tea it was, but he thought it tasted good.
"Uncle Zhou hasn't slept so late?" asked Liu Pian.
He had seen Zhou Hao before when he signed the contract, but Zhou Hao was working at that time and was a little busy, and the two didn't have too in-depth conversations after they got to know each other.
"I'm used to it, it's too early to sleep. Zhou Hao said with a smile.
Liu Pian glanced at the tea in front of him and smiled without saying a word. Can you fall asleep when you drink tea at this point?
"Did you come up with all the plans for "Blair the Witch"?" Zhou Hao asked again, "I have seen your works shot in China, and I feel that this is not very similar to your style." ”
Liu Pian's representative works in China have two aspects: one is a police film, and the other is a youth campus idol drama, and there are no other works.
At present, Xu Ran has taken over the script of "Eavesdropping 2" and has cooperated with Liu Yi and others. Hunan Satellite TV and Huaying joined forces with the art industry to start the production of the third idol drama. The show is called: "Full House of Romance".
Liu Pian made the arrangements that could be arranged before leaving, at least to ensure that the art industry has several big moves in the film and television industry this year, and it is easy to cultivate the artists in the studio.
Ning Tongtong is the heroine of "Full House of Romance" this time: a girl who is a little silly and simple.
The actor is still taken away by Ye Wenxuan, and he will play a big star.
It's very similar to his own profession.
Now Lao Ye is the hottest little fresh meat in China, with countless traffic, even if he makes a bad movie, there are a group of fans who are chasing after him.
However, Ye Wenxuan has high requirements for himself, this guy will not wronged himself to make bad movies for money, even if it is a youth idol drama that is considered by Chinese audiences to be the easiest to produce bad movies.
As for Yan Zhe, he will still preside over the work of the music department, and will also help the studio artists produce songs. Some of these songs were picked up from other places, and some were written by Liu Pian.
The song written by Liu Pian appeared as the title song.
........
At this moment, Zhou Hao's question made Liu Pian stunned. He filmed "Blair the Witch" for practice, and considering that Zhou Mulan is too tender and does not have Xu Ran's deep directing skills, even if he has a better script, the two can't toss.
Then there is that the time given by the campus film festival is too short.
Many people participate in film festivals because they have already made a movie, and then choose a film festival to participate. Very few people decide to attend a film festival before filming a film.
Time simply ran out.
"This movie is just an attempt. Liu Pian said truthfully, "I haven't made a movie as a director myself, and I want to test my ability this time." The success of "Eavesdropping" is largely due to Director Xu's good filming. ”
Zhou Hao tasted tea and did not speak.
Is it the director who is good at it, or the script is great, or is it the acting skills of the actors? Maybe the cinematographer is good at shooting? BGM is too good?
None of them can be generalized.
It is the combination of various elements that gives birth to an excellent movie, in which the director, script, and actors, these three have to account for most of the credit. But it is not excluded that some bizarre movies are successful because of other elements, like "Blair the Witch". There are also some movies that are remembered by the world because BGM is too awesome, and some movies are because of excellent special effects that shocked the audience.
"Anyway, you're a very smart person and a very talented person. Zhou Hao smiled, "If "Blair the Witch" succeeds in the end, it will all be thanks to your deception plan, you fooled the audience and made them willingly pay for this shoddy movie." But that doesn't prove anything, it's opportunistic to succeed, and the film isn't a good enough work in essence, and it can only be said that it takes advantage of pseudo-documentaries to the fullest. You must know that pseudo-documentaries are not mainstream after all, and its success is not inevitable. ”
Liu Pian nodded: "So I plan not to make such a movie in the future." At the very least, there will be no more false propaganda. ”
"Looks like you already have an idea?"
"There was a little bit of an immature idea. Liu Pian smiled shyly.
"Mind telling me about it?"
"Yes. ”
Liu Pian put away her expression, sat upright, and told some thoughts in her heart.
Zhou Hao listened carefully, sometimes frowning, sometimes laughing, and from time to time expressing opinions and asking relevant questions.
Time passed little by little, and when a pot of tea was drunk by Liu Pian, who had a dry mouth, he realized that it was almost two o'clock in the morning.
Zhou Hao noticed the time, a touch of apology appeared on his face, and he was still a little unsatisfied: "I'm sorry, it's so late now." ”
"Thank you for your tea, he made me forget about tiredness. ”
Zhou Hao shook his head and smiled: "I should thank you for your immature idea, it's very interesting." I'd love to hear you continue, but it's too late, so let's talk tomorrow. ”
"Good!"
......
Next.
Because she drank a lot of wine, Zhou Mulan slept until noon, and as soon as she came to the living room, she saw Liu Pian and Zhou Hao talking and laughing, chatting very energetically.
She was about to listen, but the conversation was over, and Liu Pian was about to leave.
Zhou Mulan sent Liu Pian out of Beverly Manor, came back to see his father, and said curiously: "Dad, what are you talking about? So excited?"
"We talked about the movie. ”
"Uh....."
"Mu Lan, Liu Pian, this kid is not so simple, he is not only opportunistic, his views on the movie surprised me. If you have the opportunity, you can learn more from him, and he will bring you many surprises. ”
“.....”
Zhou Mulan was speechless, she recognized Liu Pian's strength, but she didn't worship it much. Why did Dad make it look like he had seen a treasure?
Seeing his daughter, he didn't care too much, and Zhou Hao didn't say anything. He didn't explain to her what he talked about last night and this morning.
But he knows that a "Blair the Witch" is just the tip of the iceberg for Liu Pian.
That kid has too many shocking things in his head.
