Section 103: Deliberation

The script of "One Flew Over the Asylum" is much more complicated than "The Terminator", Du An's tossing and turning for half the night finally got it done, and after sleeping until nine o'clock, Su Jin had already gone to work. After washing up, he put on a jacket, took the script, went out and took a taxi to DreamWorks.

He was a special person in DreamWorks, and he came directly to the outside of Shuyu's office all the way unimpeded, and after chatting with Ling Fei for a few words, he knocked on the door and went in.

Shu Yu glanced up, saw that it was him, and lowered his head again to look at Wen Jiร n.

Duane walked over to her desk and sat down, throwing the script in his hand onto her desk.

Shu Yutou raised his head slightly and glanced at the book.

"New project?"

Du An said "um", Shu Yu was silent for a while, and asked, "You haven't done 'Terminator' yet, have you?

Duane leaned back in his chair and said: ""The Terminator is in the post-production stage, and I have already listed the concept art and various requirements for them, and I can't intervene, so I can only wait, so isn't this just idle, just a little inspiration, I want to shoot something new." Anyway, being idle is idle, so it's better to use this time. โ€

Shu Yu took his notebook and frowned imperceptibly when he saw the name "One Flew Over the Asylum", then opened it and took a quick look.

Duane didn't bother her, he broke her computer monitor, faced him, took her mouse again, and clicked on Minesweeper to start playing.

The first one was very smooth, and it opened in the lower left corner, and after a while, most of the map was opened, and the time in the upper right corner was only 78 seconds, and this time it was likely to rush into 150 seconds.

Duane played attentively and carefully, and finally opened all the maps, but the time reached 168 seconds, and he couldn't enter 150 seconds.

"Alas,"

Duane sighed, pressed f2, and was about to start again when Shu Yu spoke.

"Your film is dangerous. โ€

Duane stopped what he was doing and turned his head to look at her, only to see that she had roughly finished browsing and was looking at herself, holding the script in her hand.

"There are too many insinuations, if it was twenty or thirty years earlier, this movie would not have to be made, and if the script is revealed, you will be dragged to criticism. โ€

Duan sighed: "It's the same person, your IQ is not on the same level as the one in my family." In a flash, he said: "You also said that it was twenty or thirty years earlier, and now it is not so exaggerated, and according to the current policy, it can pass the trial." โ€

Shu Yu nodded, "You can pass the review, but have you ever thought about the result of your movie?" Without waiting for Du An's answer, she continued: "I heard that you went to the Huabiao Awards to win the best screenplay, and Zhu Qian failed to win the actress, and was taken by Zhu Bingbing, so you want to make this movie, right? Don't you think your current mentality is a bit problematic? The rules of the Huabiao Awards are like this, you have been in this circle for a year, you should know, even if "Pretty Woman" It was filmed by Zhang Yi, Zhu Qian still can't get the actress, they are not targeting you, why do you have to jump out?"

Du An put down the mouse in his hand, sat up straight, and said to Shu Yu: "I know, but you also read the script just now, so I'll take the script as an example." โ€

He stretched out his fingers and nodded at the script, "Wang Ming has not been targeted, if he endures the words and is a shrinking turtle in peace, he can survive peacefully in the madhouse until the end of his imprisonment, but he can't get used to it, so he jumped out." Some people are like that, they have nothing to do, and I happen to be that kind of person. โ€

Shu Yu sighed, "But even if you make this movie, it won't change anything." โ€

Duane smiled, "I know, but at least I said what I wanted to say, I vented, I was cool." โ€

Shu Yu stopped talking, looked at Du An, was silent, and said for a long time: "Artists are crazy." โ€

When Duane heard this, he was a little flattered: he actually became an artist?

Fortunately, Shu Yu did not continue to go deeper on this topic and changed the topic, "Then let's talk about the market positioning of your movie." โ€

She held up the script, "In my opinion, the best direction for your movie is to impact the awards, but you have pointed at their noses and scolded, whether they will endure the nausea and give you the award at that time, I am really not optimistic, so the award is estimated to be a bit hanging, then it depends on the market." After all, when a movie comes out, it will either win an award or a market, otherwise I really don't know what the meaning of this movie is. โ€

Pure businessman thoughts, Duane silently spit out a groove in his heart.

He wanted to say that there are also feelings, such as himself, but after thinking about it for a moment, forget it: his feelings are really not so noble, he just wants to scold people when he doesn't like it, and it's no different from a shrew scolding the street.

Shu Yu continued: "Since the award is hanging, how much can you estimate at the box office of your movie?"

"A billion. โ€

Du An reported such a number without thinking about it, and then saw Shu Yu speechless.

She obviously didn't believe that a literary film with such a profound meaning could get such a box office.

"Actually, there are many points that can be explored in this film,"

Duane explained: "The madhouse is an alternative world, I believe the audience is curious about the ecological environment in it, and one day, a daring guy breaks into this out-of-place world and stirs up wind and rain in it, which itself has a very big dramatic tension, and dramatic tension is a necessary factor for all attractive movies, and from this setting alone, it is very interesting." In terms of rhythm, I will also control it well, and it will not be as dark as those domestic literary films. Why is the box office of literary films always not high? Because they are too focused on expressing their own ideas, they don't consider whether the audience is happy or not, and they always like to use depression to express profoundness, so I will shoot the whole movie in a joyful way, magnifying Wang Ming's success, and letting the audience follow him to complete incredible things, presumably they will watch it very coolly-from this point of view, this movie is very commercial ......"

Shu Yu interrupted him.

"It's useless for you to tell me this, anyway, you know, I don't understand. โ€

Speaking of this, Shu Yu looked at the man in front of her, and felt some emotion in her heart: I think that when the two first met, Du An didn't know much about movies than her, but it was the shooting of the two movies plus some self-study, and now Du An knows a lot more than her. This made her admit that there is indeed a creature in the world called genius, like Newton, Einstein and the like, and that kind of talent is not something that ordinary people can achieve with hard work.

"A billion is a billion. โ€

Shu Yu said this, but Du An's expression on her face obviously didn't believe that this movie could reach a billion box office.

"How much are you going to cost?"

Du An's head warmed: Listening to Shu Yu's words, he is planning to enter the venue. is worthy of being a close comrade-in-arms, even if he is not optimistic, he will enter the market without hesitation to support him to help him share the investment risk.

Thinking about it in an instant, it seemed more likely that Shu Yu planned to throw this money away for nothing but also maintain such a close cooperative relationship with him now, in order to achieve long-term development in the future.

"I don't know, it's mainly the actor's salary expenditure,"

Du An didn't think about what Shu Yu thought, shook his head, threw these thoughts out of his head, and said: "The protagonist of this movie requires acting skills, so I plan to invite a first-line male star, Ge You Jiang Wen like this, their salary must be very high." There are also supporting roles, and the supporting roles in this movie are also very important, and now I have set one, and there are about four or five important supporting roles, and acting skills are also required, so you need to be busy. โ€

"Ge You, don't think about it, Feng Xiaogang is the queen, no matter how much money he pays, he is not willing to come, Jiang Wen is also hanging, he is a good director now, and he will not be willing to act at all. โ€

Shu Yu vetoed his suggestion, "We can only consider other candidates, but according to the example you gave, the salary of the same level cannot be low, and it is difficult to say that it is not 30 million." and the kind of supporting role you mentioned, according to your requirements, it must also be a gold medal supporting role, and the cost of the actor alone is estimated to be close to 40 million. โ€

40 million, this is already the production cost of "Terminator", and it is only the actor's expense to put it on this "One Flew Over the Asylum".

Shu Yu felt that if he really had to play so big, he had less hope of recovering his roots. For mobile phone users, please visit wรจnhttp://mnet
