At noon the next day, Xiangjiang, outside the airport.

Liu Ying picked up Liu Pian, who had just gotten off the plane, into the car, "Liu Pian, let's go eat something first?"

"Okay, I'm just a little hungry. ”

The two of them found a restaurant to sit in, and Liu Ying asked curiously, "Liu Pian, how did you solve it?" The attitude of the company manager towards me is completely different. ”

"I didn't solve it, it was Mr. Qian of Yuhao Group who helped you speak. ”

"Mr. Qian?" Liu Ying's face was full of shock, that person is a legendary-level existence in the Xiangjiang entertainment industry, black and white! Because people have come all the way to the dark, I heard that he used to be the number one "lackey" under Liu Guohao.

If he made a move, Mr. Yueyin would not dare to say half a word.

"yes, what's the problem?"

"Uh... No. ”

How dare I have it?

Liu Ying was a little worried, with the existence of Mr. Qian's level, she didn't dare to offend anything.

"Sister Ying, anyway, you can rest assured about this matter, Yueyin won't come to you for trouble, you can go directly to Kyoto to sign the contract another day." Liu Pian said.

"Good. ”

........

In the evening, Liu Pian and Xu Ran met in a restaurant.

This time, Liu Pian came to Xiangjiang mainly to see Xu Ran, and Liu Ying's matter was only incidental, otherwise Liu Yi could do it with a phone call, and he would not be too lazy to make a trip in person.

"Liu Pian, you kid has finally changed his mind!" Xu Ran took a few bottles of wine and began to count the Liu liar, "I have been waiting for you in Xiangjiang for so long, and you finally remembered me." ”

"Why are you so worried about me?"

"I called you a long time ago!" Xu Ran said angrily, "It's not that I said, your "Meteor Garden" and "Dark War" are completely two levels, I can't believe that you actually wrote it!"

Xu Ran really wanted to burst into foul language, and directly threw the word "mentally retarded" on Liu Pian's head, but when he thought of Liu Pian's former "Dark War", he still couldn't help it.

"The market positioning is different. Liu Pian shook his head and smiled, "Don't say it, the fame of "Meteor Garden" is much greater than that of "Dark War" back then, and the ratings are far ahead, just by virtue of this, Director Xu, you can't say that this drama is not good." ”

"Can movies and TV series be the same?" Xu Ran frowned, he was born in a police and gangster film, this thing is completely different from "Meteor Garden", and the difference is too far.

One is talking about love, the other is shooting and slashing people, the other is you and me, and the other is chasing and fleeing, and it is not the pursuit of love, it is the pursuit of hate.

It's very different in every way.

Thinking about it for too long with a dark mind, Xu Ran couldn't look directly at "Meteor Garden".

"I'm not going to talk to you about Meteor Garden. Xu Ran raised his hand to stop, "Now let's talk about the next movie." ”

"Yes. Liu Pian asked, "Do you have any good ideas for Director Xu?"

Xu Ran nodded, and shook his head again, "I received a few books, but I wasn't particularly satisfied, and it was a bit of a cliché."

Liu Pian, what about you, do you have a point?"

"There's a prototype, but it's not complete yet, I'll tell you when I'm ready. Liu Pian said.

"Okay. ”

Xu Ran values not only Liu Pian's script, but also his unique sense of lens, which can always accurately capture the desired picture.

When he cooperated with "Dark War" before, Xu Ran had a deep experience.

[Deception succeeds, obtain....]

Liu Pian smiled in his heart, of course he had a complete script, and there was more than one, but he didn't plan to take it out in such a hurry.

"Director Xu, I heard that the box office of "Dark War 3" is not very good?"

"It's hitting the streets. Xu Ran sighed.

Liu Pian shook his head in his heart, not only did he hit the street, but he was about to rush into the sewer.

In the summer, "Dark War 3" landed in major theaters in Hong Kong, Taiwan and the mainland, preparing to kill through this summer vacation. But unexpectedly, in the end, it only won less than 20 million box office in Xiangjiang, and less than 300 million in the mainland. Compared with the glory of the first two films, the box office has shrunk by more than half.

Many viewers scolded Xu Ran for building this IP with his own hands, and finally destroyed it with his own hands, it is better not to shoot the third part, the first two parts are enough.

Xu Ran also regretted it in retrospect, it was better not to shoot the third part, and still retain some word of mouth.

Now not only does it not have a box office, but even the word of mouth has lost more than half.

"I miscalculated. Xu Ran drank a glass of wine with a sad face, "After the script of the third part was not polished, the taste of the first two parts was missing." Liu Pian, if you could write the script for the third part, it would be great. ”

Liu Pian rolled her eyes in her heart, then you want me to write it.

He has also seen the third film, and from the perspective of an audience, it is indeed not as brilliant as the first two.

He suddenly remembered Liang Leyi.

Alas, pity this calamitous big brother, who stood on the opposite side of "Dark War" at the beginning, and was killed by the immortals, but now he has changed his past and stood on the side of "Dark War 3", but he was pitted by his teammates and had nothing to love.

Box office cancer, cancer.

"Director Xu, it's okay, it's just a failure, let's start over, since we can create an IP like "Dark War", we can also create a new IP, right?"

Xu Ran's eyes lit up: "Your new script is a series?"

"Well, that's what I'm going to do at the moment. ”

"Can you tell us more about the story? Is it still a cop movie?"

"Police and gangster films!" Liu Pian nodded, Xiangjiang and police films are almost bound together, as one of the world's three major film bases, Xiangjiang's police and gangster films are all the rage in Asia.

If you want to make a special movie, make a special movie.

"But this battlefield is a bit special. Liu Pian said.

"How?"

"It's about finance. ”

"Finance?" Xu Ran blinked, "Financial fraud?"

Hearing the word fraud, Liu Pian's eyebrows couldn't help but tremble, "Well, it's almost this type, when I finish the script, Director Xu, you will be clear after reading it." ”

"Well, I'm looking forward to your new script. ”

Xu Ran smiled, thought of something, and asked again, "By the way, Liu Pian, how about you come to be my photographer this time?"

"Photographer?"

"Well, you have a good sense of camera, I think you can try it. ”

"But my photography skills are too amateurish and not professional enough. ”

"It's okay, you're not the only photographer, you can learn from it. ”

"Well, that's fine. Liu Pian instantly became a little interested, photography, which can be regarded as a necessary skill to become a good director.

Liu Pian has long wanted to be a director and make a film by herself. But there is no such thing as "directing skills" in the system.

Because "directing" is not a professional skill like photography and editing.

To put it bluntly, the director is a leader, just like the commander of an army, directing various departments, organizing all the creative staff, technicians and actors in the crew, and letting them show their talents.

The level of this ability cannot be judged just by observing how the director is, but only by the quality of his film and television works.

Becoming an excellent director is not an overnight process, Liu Pian has shortcuts to take, you can save a lot of effort, but it still takes a certain amount of time to walk in the past, and you can't fly.

"There is a long way to go~~~," Liu Pian muttered in her heart.
