Chapter 461: SAW
For the good ideas that Liu Pian said, if it is of the level of "Blair the Witch", then they are basically not interested.
Oh God, how can that be called a script?
"You're really not kidding?" Steven wondered, he always felt that Liu Pian was joking when he mentioned this twice.
"I'm serious. Liu Pian said, "I know that "Blair the Witch" gives you a bad impression and thinks that I can't win, so I plan to show my real strength this time."
I've written a lot of excellent movie scripts in Huaxia, you don't believe you can look them up.
I really don't want to deceive people this time, I just want to attract the audience with the quality of the movie itself!"
Steven's eyelids twitched, and he wondered how this sounded harder than deceiving.
"You mean, working with our community?" Steven asked.
"Yes, let's shoot together. I provide the script, and we can co-direct the production. Liu Pian said confidently, "You can give me the work of post-release and distribution." I'll contact Universal and ask them to help with the distribution. ”
Steven nodded, he also knew that Universal and Liu Pian were both behind the liar's plan, and they both wore a pair of pants. Liu Pian said that if you can ask Universal to help with the distribution, it is estimated that it will really work.
That's a big publisher.
"What is the budget cost of the movie?"
"Two million!" Liu Pian held up two fingers.
"So many?!" Steven exclaimed.
"Ghoul" only cost 200,000.
And now it's just a graduation project, and it costs so much money?
"It's not much, it's a very small investment in Hollywood. Liu Pian said.
"This is USC, not Hollywood!" Steven was about to collapse, "I'm sorry, our club can't come up with so much money, not a million." ”
"Don't worry, I'll pay!" Liu Pian patted his chest, looking like Lao Tzu had a mine at home.
"Uhhhh
"I can give you box office dividends, and of course, if you don't need to, I can pay you a lot of money. ”
The two remained silent.
These eight characters haven't been skimmed yet, how can you make a lot of money by listening to it?
Rich, capricious?
Liu Pian continued to bewitch, "You can also use this movie as your graduation project, you can kill more birds with one stone." ”
Saying this, the two of them were moved.
Even if it doesn't make a lot of money at the box office, it should be no problem to cope with a graduation project.
A movie that can be released in theaters, no matter how bad it is, is enough to become a graduation work.
"Can you show us the script first?" said Derek.
"Yes. Liu Pian was prepared, took out a USB flash drive and handed it to him.
Derek inserted a USB flash drive into his computer and opened it to see a document called "SA" lying in it.
"Chainsaw?" exclaimed.
When you look at this name, it feels a little bloody, it can't be a chainsaw to cut people, right?
The two of them clicked on the document and continued reading.
After a long time....
Just as Liu Pian was waiting and yawning, Steven swallowed and said, "Is this really the script you wrote?"
"Of course, I also registered the copyright. ”
Hearing this, Steven grabbed Liu Pian's hand excitedly, "Dude, I'm messing with you this time!"
Liu Pian patted his hand with satisfaction and asked Derek again, "What about you?"
Derek was calmer and thought, "You just say you need me to do something on the crew." ”
Liu Pian nodded, this is a wise move.
......
Leaving behind the two crazy people, Liu Pian left their dormitory leisurely, but just as he walked out of the staircase, he met an old acquaintance.
"Hi. Liu Pian greeted warmly, "Paul, long time no see, how are you doing lately?" ”
When Paul saw that it was Liu Pian, the big liar, he squeezed out an embarrassed smile, "It's not bad." ”
He really wanted to turn his head and leave now, without looking at Liu Pian's smiling face.
At the beginning, I thought that Ren and Zhou Mulan were not selected for the main competition unit, but the two deliberately hid their identities and secretly took "Blair the Witch" to participate, the key is that many people were hidden by them.
He has not forgotten his original words: at the film festival, there is no film that has a higher box office than his.
As a result, "The Murderer" grossed less than 50 million, less than one-fifth of the witch's.
That's a big gap, isn't it?
"Have you done your graduation project?" Liu Pian said.
"You don't have to care. ”
"Everyone is alumni, don't be so rusty, by the way, I'm also going to help Steven with his graduation project, why don't you help too?"
Get lost!
Paul was not angry and said, "Liu, you only won some box office by relying on those indiscriminate means, and your movie can't be on the stage at all!"
Hollywood won't recognize you!
Without those tricks to deceive people, your movie wouldn't even be as good as shit!"
The more he thought about it, the more angry he became, the technical content of "Blair the Witch" was too low, there were too many tricks and tricks, it really had to be compared to hard power, compared to artistic aesthetics, he didn't think he would lose to Liu Pian. "The Murderer" won the Grand Prix at the Campus Film Festival, while "Blair the Witch" did not, and that's the best proof of that!
Liu Pian sighed faintly, "At least I have more box office than you." ”
Paul: "....."
"What else do you have besides the box office?"
"Box office is justice!"
"I..."
Liu Pian said with a smile, "Why don't we compare again? For this graduation project, compare the box office, and compare whose movie is better evaluated in the academy, you can do it."
How?"
Paul frowned and stared at Liu Pian's smiling face for a long time, "I don't need to be childish to compare with you, it doesn't make any sense." ”
Liu Pian also nodded, it really doesn't make any sense, there is a big Hollywood director behind Paul, it would be fun if he lost, and it didn't make sense if he won.
"Actually, you're much better than me!" After a long time, Liu Pian sighed and turned to leave.
Paul curled the corners of his mouth, isn't that?
[Deception succeeds, obtain....]
"This guy really feels good about himself. Liu Pian shook her head and left.
.....
"SA" is a brutal horror film from a graphic point of view, and the bloody scenes are inferior to "Ghoul", but there are no cannibalistic scenes. In terms of plot, it has to throw out the many streets of "Ghoul", and the twists and turns and reversals can give people an unimaginable surprise.
After initially reaching a cooperation agreement with Steven and Derek, Liu Pian went to the so-called "Brutal Terrorist Society" again. This strange club, including Steven and Derek, has only nine people in total. That is, the nine of them filmed "Ghoul".
Some of them are not from the directing department, or even from the film school, but from the medical school, the chemistry school, and so on.
Liu Pian also knew that the bloody scenes made for Mao and these goods were so realistic.
It's a good job!
After reading the script, everyone else also decided to join Liu Pian's crew.
Then, sign a contract.
Liu Pian only plans to give Steven and Derek, the two assistant directors, a box office dividend, two percent each, and the others will get a fixed salary, and if the box office is good, they will also give bonus red envelopes at the end.
After the initial formation of the crew, Liu Pian and Steven continued to expand the members.
This is not a half-baked movie like "Blair the Witch", ten people are still too few, and the actors and everything have not yet been decided.
Young actors are okay to say, the acting department can find people. But the big boss in the play: Jigsaw, this is an old man, you can't find it in school, you can only go to the Screen Actors Guild or Hollywood to find it.
"Jigsaw, this old guy is not a good stubble, who are you looking for?"
Liu Pian thinks about the American actor he knows.... It seems that each person can match it. However, his eyes lit up slightly when he thought of an old man, "Can this old guy do it?"
