Verse 271 of the main text: Do not take over

Next chapter

Some naturally curly hair was waxed and combed back, revealing a smooth forehead, casual clothes in his early 300s all over his body, and a slightly chubby face that could be regarded as handsome no matter what, this is Fang Limin.

"You're here. ”

Du An looked at Fang Limin with a smile on his face, stretched out his hand to him from a distance, and said in his mouth: "Director Du, I haven't seen you for a long time, I look at this is more and more energetic." ”

Duane just smiled and didn't speak.

Just looking at Fang Limin's enthusiastic appearance, it seems that the dirtiness between them has never happened.

It seemed that he sensed that Du An's love was a little wrong, and Shu Yu next to him stealthily pulled the corner of his clothes from behind, which made Du Anxin sigh secretly: Have you forgotten that they were embarrassed for us in the first place?

However, he finally opened his mouth according to Shu Yu's meaning, and casually said two perfunctory sentences: "It's okay, it's okay." ”

After Fang Limin greeted him warmly, he invited the two in.

Walking in, you can see that this box is very large, it seems that it is not a problem to set up three tables, and there are sofas, TVs and mahjong tables for guests to rest, and they are fully equipped, but now this box only has a table in the middle. The overall style of the box is Chinese classical, wooden window lattice decorations can be seen everywhere, and the table used is also a traditional large round table, now there is no one sitting on the round table, the only two people in the box are sitting on the sofa, talking softly, Duane and the three of them came in, the eyes of the two people projected over, and the conversation stopped.

Duane also looked at the two men.

One of these two people is an old acquaintance of Fang Liyong, and the other is an old man wearing a Tang costume who looks a little like Fang Liyong, it should be Fang Yi, this is also the biological father of his close comrade-in-arms for the first time.

This is an old man who looks like he is in his sixties, his hair is black and short, he is well maintained, and there are not many wrinkles on his face, and it can be seen from his facial contours that he was indeed a handsome young man when he was young, with bright eyes and a soft facial expression, especially a pair of eyes that are slightly squinted, as if he is smiling, looks very kind, and can give people a good impression.

This is an old man who looks very kind and gentle, if it weren't for listening to Shu Yu's experience, Du An would really think so, but in combination with the situation he has mastered, it seems more appropriate to describe the old man in front of him as an "old fox".

"Here we are. ”

Seeing the two of them coming in, the two people in the box stood up from the sofa, Fang Yi in front, Fang Liyong walked up in the back, the two sides exchanged pleasantries, and after a nourishing official word, several people entered the table and beckoned the waiter to come in and start the table.

The dishes have already been ordered, the hotel has already been prepared, as soon as the table is opened, the dishes will begin to be sent up one by one after a while, several people are eating, chatting, from time to time you toast me a cup, I toast you a cup, the atmosphere is harmonious, I can't see that just more than two years ago, the two sides almost had to go to court Cheng dù.

And chatting and chatting, the topic slowly moved from inconsequential things to today's topic.

“…… Li Shaohong and Director Li are a little tired of thriller horror movies. ”

Now it is Fang Liyong who is talking, Du An is seriously bowing his head to eat vegetables, while listening to him silently, from time to time he glances over to show respect Fang Yi is sitting on the main seat, his left hand side is Fang Liyong Fang Limin, and the right hand side is Shu Yu Duan, so Du An is still more convenient to see Fang Liyong, there is no need to turn his head, look up.

Like Fang Limin, Fang Liyong's hair is also a little naturally curly, but it is cut very short, his thin face, and sharp eyes make him completely different from his younger brother Fang Limin, and at first glance he is a clean and strong cold type, so even if he is smiling now, he can still make people feel a little cold.

"I still have a personal relationship with Director Li, and I have some private exchanges, so I know that she has actually had this idea for many years, for example, in the past ten years, she has filmed family dramas such as "Red Pink" and "Forty Don't Confuse", or some TV series, and has never made a thriller and horror genre film, this "Chainsaw" is really the first time she has taken over a thriller in the past ten years. ”

When I was able to say that she was moved to take over the filming of the sequel to "Saw", the salary was secondary, and the most important thing was that she was very interested in the story. ”

Why does Du An's movie sequel need another director to make it? Fang Liyong cleverly skipped this paragraph and said directly: "But interest can't be eternal after all, after making two sequels in a row, she told me that her idea for this story was almost finished, so we thought of inviting Director Du to come back and continue to execute the series." After all, this story belongs to you, and I believe that no one knows this story better than Du Dao and can shoot it well. ”

To be honest, this sycophant is not harsh, it is very slight, but Fang Liyong was still very uncomfortable when he said it, and he deliberately glanced at Du An, his eyes were complicated.

I think that at the beginning, Duane was just a poor boy who had taken the **** luck, and he easily snatched the big cake of "Chainsaw Horror" from this kid's hands, why did he need to look at this kid squarely? But now he is holding this cake with both hands and returning it to this kid, and begging the other party to accept it, which makes him unconsciously feel a little humiliated.

But how did he know that there would be today? How did he know that "Saw Horror" would get worse and worse after changing its director? The second part is okay, although the reputation is a little worse, but the box office is still rising, and the third part is bad, not only the word of mouth is poor, the box office has declined, and it is not even as high as the first part, but the cost of the third part has reached 50 million, which is 25 times that of the first part! If this continues, whether the fourth part will be filmed again is a question, and according to this trend, whether the fourth part can be profitable or not has even become a problem.

Although Ruixing Film and Television is the kingdom of the Fang family, it is basically impossible for an enterprise to grow without other capital, and the same is true for Ruixing Film and Television, in addition to the Fang family, there are some other shareholders who form the board of directors. Faced with the prospect that "Saw 4" is likely to fail to make a profit, the other members of the board of directors have a lot of opinions about Fang Liyong, who has now become the general manager, thinking that it was his original decision-making mistakes that led to the current situation is very simple, just look at the current DreamWorks, if Fang Liyong's decision was correct, the scale of Ruixing Film and Television is likely to be doubled. But it was because of Fang Liyong's mistake in decision-making that led to the current situation.

Those people forgot that the decision was also unanimously approved by them.

Although the Fang family occupies a dominant position in Ruixing Film and Television, the pressure from these shareholders is still unavoidable, so the Fang family will use a series of means to reconnect with Duane, hoping that he will come back to take over the "Saw Horror" series.

But Du An's next answer surprised the three fathers and sons of the Fang family present.

Duane said, "I'm not going to take over Saw Horror. ”

After he saw his words, Fang Liyong and Fang Limin first looked at each other, and then they both looked at Shu Yu in unison; he also saw Shu Yu look at him suspiciously, not understanding how he had changed his hexagram again when he had promised it before; only Fang Yi was still sitting on the ground with the old god, eating the food quietly, as if he hadn't heard what he had just said at all.

"I don't have anything else I want to do about Saw anymore, I'm going to make a brand new movie. ”

He had mentioned this to Shu Yu before, but Shu Yu may have been entangled in whether to convince him to make a movie for Rising Film and Television at that time and ignored it. Now after he mentioned this, he saw a flash in Shu Yu's eyes, and he obviously remembered it.

"New movie?"

Fang Liyong frowned, obviously due to Shu Yu's negligence and failure to convey it in time, this matter was somewhat different from their plan.

However, this time the invitation to Duane to come back to make a movie was originally based on Duane's current fame and his brilliant record of no failure in the past, as for what to shoot, it is really not very important, but it is best to make a series of movies like "Chainsaw", in that case, even if the follow-up copyright cannot be obtained for free this time, but according to the general contract procedure, it will have priority over other companies.

Of course, the movie itself is already a very profitable thing to look forward to.

So Fang Liyong immediately hid his dissatisfaction, made an interested look, and asked: "Oh, it sounds like Director Du, you already have a general idea, can you tell me what kind of movie this is?"

Duane first scooped a spoonful of smooth egg custard from the small soup can in front of him and sucked it, then raised his head and pursed his lips, and gave a concise answer: "Drama." (To be continued.) )
