Section 304: Very commercial

In the conference room, it was quiet. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Duane sat in his place, looking boredly from side to side, observing his surroundings.

This is a very large room, the total area should be about seventy or eighty square meters, the south and north sides of the room have windows, the south window is very small, at the moment the sun is shining through the window, the north window is quite large, almost occupies more than half of the entire wall, you can clearly see the employees outside are working, but from the outside you can see nothing to see.

In the center of the room is an oval conference table, with Duane sitting at the head of the left side.

He looked to the right, next to his right hand was Shu Yu, at this moment she was flipping through a stack of papers on the table in front of her, browsing quickly, and didn't notice that she was looking at her; Du An looked forward again, and across from him was sitting Fang Limin, who was also looking down at the materials in front of him like Shu Yu; Du An looked at Fang Limin's left hand side, and there were two people sitting in a row over there, it seemed that they should be executives of Ruixing Film and Television, and they were also looking down at the materials; finally Du An looked at the main seat, and it was Fang Liyong who was sitting there, and as expected, Fang Liyong was also in the same posture as everyone else, but what Fang Liyong has in his hand is no longer stacks of A4 paper that is still hot, but a notebook.

What they read was the script, but except for the original manuscript in Fang Liyong's hand, everything else was copied temporarily.

Everyone was browsing, so the room was so quiet, except for the "whoosh" of them flipping the papers, and the occasional cough of the senior executive in front of Duane's right, who already had a bit of a Mediterranean head in his head.

Because he was so bored, Duane began to think crankily, and his mind was full of thoughts.

In the summer of 03, he also came to the door with the script as he did today, but the reception location at that time was not this huge conference room, but Fang Limin's office, and the way of review was also very simple, Fang Limin casually looked at it and agreed, not like today, several executives in related fields of Ruixing Film and Television came to review, and the same difference is the scale of the funding-this movie is not like 200,000 can cope with the past......

A "snap" sounded and pulled Duane's attention back from the chaos of thoughts.

He followed the source of the sound and saw Fang Liyong close the notebook in his hand, but instead of looking at himself, he lowered his head and looked at the desktop, as if he was thinking.

The frequency of the "bang-bang-bang" paper turning sound in the room gradually slowed down and became less and less, Shu Yu raised his head first, and then the Mediterranean ...... Eventually, the paper was no longer audible, and the few people sitting at the conference table looked up.

They've all watched it.

Then Du An saw Fang Liyong raise his head, his eyes swept over the faces of the three people in Fang Limin's row one by one, and said lightly: "After reading it, then tell me your opinion." ”

"Ahem!"

Fang Limin coughed loudly, pretended to sort out the copy in front of him, and said, "Then I'll talk about it first." ”

"I think the idea of this script is very good, very novel, I have never heard of a similar story before! If you want to score, I give this script a score of 95! And I also believe that Director Du can show this movie well, and give full play to the advantages and essence of the entire script, after all, this script was created by Director Du himself, I believe that no one knows how to shoot this story better than Director Du......"

The three people on the side of Rising Film and Television spoke in turn, and the unanimous tone was "This script is good", but when the Mediterranean spoke to the end, Duane observed that he was a little eager to speak and stopped, but after glancing at Fang Liyong without a trace, the Mediterranean closed his mouth and ended his speech.

Fang Liyong did not say that he was just like this because of the unanimous praise of the three of them, but his face was flat from beginning to end, so that people couldn't see what he was thinking.

When the last Mediterranean had finished speaking, Fang Liyong glanced at the three people over there, "No, no, then I'll talk about it." ”

Fang Liyong said, looking over to Duane, a smile appeared on his expressionless face.

"Director Du, this book of yours is really good, the story is novel, and the depth of thought is very deep, if it is filmed well, it may be able to help you win the second Huabiao Award for Best Director. ”

Duane listened quietly, not speakingβ€”he knew that there was usually a "but" underneath such words.

Sure enough, Fang Liyong immediately verified his idea.

"But,"

Fang Liyong's smiling eyes were very deep, "What we want is actually a movie that can make money, with all due respect, the commerciality of this script is not optimistic in my opinion." ”

Duane did not refute.

This script was written by him, of course he knows the advantages and disadvantages of this script, and Fang Liyong can see through it at a glance, proving that this person does have some real skills.

But buddy, this script has been written, and what you want to shoot is this, so why do you want to change it? And buddy really needs this drama now, if you want to shoot this, if you don't want to shoot it, it's this, I can't help you.

Then Duane smiled.

"Mr. Fang, don't you see commerciality? Coincidentally, it's just the opposite of you, but I see a lot of commerciality here, and I even think that this movie is the most commercial among the movies I have ever made. ”

Fang Liyong obviously didn't expect that Du An's ability to open his eyes and tell nonsense had been practiced to the point of perfection, his expression was stunned, and his smile was a little staggered.

However, he quickly reacted, "Oh?", and said, "Forgive me for being shallow, and I still hope that Director Du will give you advice." ”

Duane tapped the two fingers of his right hand on the table, and said slowly: "Everyone has read the script, so you should also know that the protagonist of the play is the protagonist of an all-weather reality show, so how will I show that this is a reality show and not an ordinary movie?"

His gaze swept over the faces of several people present, but everyone just looked at him, and no one spoke.

They may not know, or they may have some ideas but they dare not take their own shortcomings in front of this master, so they simply hide it, after all, this kind of technical knowledge, no one present thinks that it will be stronger than Duane.

"It's very simple, it's enough to do two things,"

Seeing that no one answered, Duane himself said, "One, the camera." The part of this film that is in the Peach Blossom Land will be a pseudo-documentary form of the Skynet model, and if necessary, I will abandon all lens skills and express it in the most simple way. ”

He saw that the eyes of the people present flashed with doubts, obviously not understanding what is called "the pseudo-documentary form of the Skynet model", but he didn't plan to explain it for the time being, and continued to speak.

"The second point is advertising. ”

"How can the producer of the film make a profit to make such a reality show? Advertising is a very simple, direct and indispensable way, and because of the characteristics of this film, the rigid product placement in the past can play a role in enhancing the authenticity of the film and optimizing the effect of the film, so why do you say that this film is not commercial?"

After Duane asked rhetorically, the two fingers that had been tapping on the table stopped, and his tone began to rise.

"From the beginning of the film, we started to implant ads, all the props involved in Peach Blossom Garden, from milk, vegetable oil, razors, clothes, cars and other household items to street shops, banks, bus body ads, etc., everything was implanted with ads!"

"We can even let the actor directly force the advertisement in front of the camera, for example, when Truman's wife Lin Lin broke Truman's razor, she can let her buy a Gillette Weifeng razor for Truman, and then forcibly say to the camera, 'If it's a man, use Jiley Weifeng', the audience will not only not be disgusted when they see this, but will feel that this is more real, because the play in this play is a reality show. ”

Duane said this and added, "Of course, this kind of oral broadcast facing the camera is the most expensive, and if you want to implant it, you have to add money." ”

Then he continued.

"Think about it, how many scenes will there be in a movie, how many things will be used, and even if we sell it cheaper, it will already be terrifying to add up to a lot, especially in the competition for some key positions, I believe it will bring us great benefits. ”

"Such a movie is very likely to start making money before it is released, and you still want to tell me that it is not commercial?"

Du An sneered and looked at Fang Liyong, "Then tell me, what is commercial?"

He saw Fang Liyong pursing his lips, and he saw the three people opposite him stunned.

Sample, I can't imagine that the movie can still play like this, right? (To be continued.) )
