Chapter 460: Cooperation
Liu Pian is indeed not very popular in Hollywood, some directors are jealous of the huge income of "Blair the Witch", and the audience is not very happy Liu Pian's "manipulation" and fooled so many people.
But in the music world, Liu Pian has a good reputation, and several popular songs have made him famous in the United States, and many people remember this Chinese person.
Liu Pian doesn't mind other directors' eyes, and as for the audience's complaints, he doesn't care very much. If you really want to boycott it, the score of this movie has long fallen below the bottom, and now it still has more than six points. It can be seen that movies belong to movies, and everyone is just a little unhappy with Liu Pian's marketing plan.
He is now planning to shoot the next movie, and while he is now famous, I believe that as long as the quality of the movie is passable and there are no moths that fool people, the audience should still buy it.
......
At the end of my senior year, it's graduation season.
Students are busy with their graduation projects and dissertations, even the Thornton Conservatory. But these are all small things, Liu Pian is not worried about the graduation project at all, his strength has been baptized in the music world, so he will not be unable to cope with the graduation project.
On the other hand, at the Film Academy, the graduation project of the directing department is a film work to test the results of four years of university learning.
As soon as Steven and Zhou Mulan returned to school, they began to prepare for this.
Zhou Mulan's side, she wants to make a work by herself this time, and she won't cooperate with Liu Pian anymore, at least she can't let Liu Pian be the director, so as not to fool people again, but she can consider asking Liu Pian to write a script.
When she found Liu Pian and explained her intentions, Liu Pian suddenly said, "You also have to do your graduation project." ”
"Yes, ask a talented man like you to help me provide a script. ”
"It's not a big problem. Liu Pian smiled, "What type of do you want to make, what is the budget, or do you want to have another pseudo-documentary like a witch?"
"Don't. Zhou Mulan hurriedly shook her head, "Forget about the pseudo-documentary, I plan to make a movie." ”
"Okay, tell me what you think. ”
"I want to make a school youth movie, a romance film, a comedy or something. Zhou Mulan pondered, "My experience is still too little, I am more familiar with campus life, and I am better at shooting." ”
Liu Pian nodded, but he thought of domestic campus youth film and television works in his mind, speaking of which, he is now a "master-level" character, "Meteor Garden", "Mischievous Kiss", etc., which are not very popular in China.
"Mu Lan, you saw that I wrote a few TV drama scripts for the youth campus, so you thought of asking me to help write a movie script, right?"
"That's right, look at the TV series you wrote, it's quite popular in China. ”
"It's different, that's China, and this is the United States. Liu Pian shook her head, "If I use those routines here, I will be complained about." ”
The various routines of "Meteor Garden" have almost been thoroughly studied by Chinese directors, and the recent Huaxia campus TV series are full of these things. If there are too many routines, they will be overflowing, and then they will be labeled as "dog blood".
"I can try to go a different route. ”
"Oh?"
"Why don't you have something fresh, don't fix so many bloody things, you don't get tired of reading it, I'm tired of writing. Liu Pian said.
"Little fresh, haven't you always had a heavy taste?" Zhou Mulan teased.
"....." Liu Pianpi smiled and didn't smile.
"A little fresh, a little fresh, write it and show it to me. ”
"Well, I think it's a good fit for you. Liu Pian thought for a while, "Although the plot is very simple, it has high requirements for the ability to master the camera and the ability to tell the double line. ”
"By the way, I'm a student of the directing department, right?" Zhou Mulan looked strange, "Why do you feel as if you want you to teach me how to make movies?"
"I'll just make a few suggestions, which you think are useful and can be adopted. ”
Zhou Mulan shrugged, "Besides, I think I still have the strength, at least a little more professional than you, a halfway monk, right?"
After the filming of "Blair the Witch", she really didn't see what kind of directorial strength Liu Pian had, but her deceptive skills were first-class.
Liu Pian rubbed her head with a headache.
Even Mu Lan looks at me like this, don't those guys in Hollywood completely see me through?
Nothing but liars and singing?
......
Liu Pian felt that she couldn't go on like this, and she had to reverse the impression that American people had of her.
He returns to Steven's bedroom and finds him and his roommate: Derek. After these two guys finished filming "Ghoul", they saw that the box office income was good, they made a small profit, and their mentality was a little inflated, and they made a little reputation in the academy.
However, after Liu Pian arrived in the bedroom, the two who were bragging with others suddenly turned their faces down.
Bragging in front of the director of "Blair the Witch," which is close to $400 million?
Even if it's a sick brain.
"Liu Pian, why are you here?" Steven said as he beckoned the other students to leave and closed the door.
"I heard that your directing students are going to do their graduation projects, so I'll take a look. Liu Pian smiled kindly, "Are you ready to shoot something?"
"With this idea, I'm polishing the script with the people in the club..."Speaking of this, Steven suddenly felt that something was wrong, "Aren't you from the music department?
"Look, just look, how can I say that I am also a director, and I have a small achievement. ”
Steven: "...."
Derek: "...."
I really want to give you a punch.
Derek said enviously, "You've made a lot of money, and the box office of our "Ghoul" is less than a fraction of yours..."
"Don't open your mouth and shut up is money, we are directors, we have to dedicate ourselves to art, and we can't make good movies with the smell of copper. Liu Pian smiled.
Derek rolled his eyes, why did the hell believe you as a liar.
"You're not here to care about our graduation project today, are you?"
"I'm here to care. ”
"You'd better be honest. ”
"Uh..."Liu Pian touched her chin and hesitated, "Do you remember the last time I told you about cooperation?
"Stop!" Steven's face turned white, these days, who dares to lie with you, he will be scolded.
"Liu Pian, although we are friends, there are some jokes that don't need to be made, haha. ”
"No kidding, I'm serious. ”
Steven: "....."
Derek was curious, "You still want to deceive people?"
"Why do you think I'm going to cheat, this time I'm really going to make a good movie!" Liu Pian defended, "Really, I swear to my wallet that I won't mess with those deceptive marketing schemes." ”
"But why pull us up?" said Derek wondered.
"We are friends, we have money to earn together. ”
"Tell the truth!"
"Because you have experience in brutal horror films. ”
Steven was stunned, "You want to make a brutal horror movie?"
"It's not that pure, but there's a lot of brutal and bloody scenes. Liu Pian squinted at the two, "The props of "Ghoul" are well done, very real, and your shooting is really unappetizing. At USC, I don't think there's a better collaborator than your community. ”
"Stop. Steven pondered, "You seem to be ready to hear you say that, I thought you were going to join us." ”
"It's not joining, it's cooperation!" Liu Pian pointed to his head, "I have a good idea, you have experience, let's be a director together, form a crew, and we will definitely be successful!"
Seeing Liu Pian's pride, Steven and Derek looked at each other.
Why does it sound a little unreliable?
Can you believe the words of a liar?
