Chapter 427: Practice
Zhao Qian doesn't have other skills, but the basic aesthetics can't go wrong.
Whether a movie is good or not, it is very important whether it can hit the audience's cool point. If you want to be applauded and popular, you have to write a plot that the audience likes to watch and shoot a story that the audience likes to watch.
Besides, the eyes of the masses are also bright!
If he wants to film "Crazy Stone", he will definitely not invest only such a small amount of money, and the box office is definitely not only 23 million.
Thanks to the rapid development of the domestic entertainment industry in recent years, as well as the improvement of people's awareness of intellectual property rights, and the country's crackdown on the piracy industry, the domestic film box office has become stronger and stronger year by year, and box office records have been constantly refreshed.
If "Crazy Stone" is put to this day, with proper publicity, it is estimated that it will not be a problem for the box office to break 100 million.
Rao is so, this is just a very ordinary result, and it is still a question whether it can enter the top 50 at the annual box office.
(In 2017, there were 92 films with a domestic box office exceeding 100 million)
Therefore, Zhao Qian's total investment budget for this film is 10 million! No more than 15 million!
"Actors don't want stars differently, the key is to be suitable, and if you can perform that kind of taste, it's OK!
Zhao Qian thought in his heart.
He also plans to ask Li Wanqing to help show her face in the movie when she arrives, so as to rub off on her popularity, so that she can save some publicity costs.
It took a night to get the script out, eliminate some things that I thought were not good, add my own understanding of the film, and then print the text by myself, and then give Wang Huan an electronic version.
Wang Huan received Zhao Qian's script, and after reading it, he couldn't sleep excitedly. He read this script three times, and the more he read it, the more he felt it.
This is the script I want!
He called Zhao Qian overnight: "My own brother!
I only made a phone call during the day, and the script came out in the evening, and it was not the first draft, the script was nearly two hours long, the plot was smooth, and the story was wonderful and full of connotation.
Does this guy have one more brain than the average person?
"Neurotic, the third watch doesn't sleep in the middle of the night!" Zhao Qian, who was woken up by the phone, said angrily, "If there is something to talk about tomorrow, I'm sleepy!"
Then no matter what Wang Huan said, he hung up the phone directly.
Wang Huan wasn't angry, he was excited at the moment.
He has a hunch that this story, put on the big screen, will be even more exciting than "Very Pure and Ambiguous"!
He is a young king, and he is going to be in the limelight again!
When the time comes, who dares to say that his success depends on luck, and my brother is obviously based on his strength!
In fact, low-budget movies rely on screenwriters.
can write a good story, as long as it is not the kind of director who has a hole in his head, likes to change the script indiscriminately, and feeds to the audience, the film will have a market.
This thing is the same as online articles, as long as you are willing to study and write stories that the audience likes to watch, you will not be too miserable.
You're right?
This is an era of worse than bad, if you can stand out from a group of bad movies, you win!
……
The next day.
Zhao Qian drove to the company.
First hold a meeting to deploy the company's strategic plan for the next month, and then ask Zhang Siya to send the documents accumulated during this time to his office.
"I wrote a new script, but this time we won't take the online drama route and go directly to the big screen. Or cooperate with Wang Huan and their company, in terms of investment, I have preliminarily negotiated with Wang Huan, the investment ratio of both parties is the same, and I personally invest in the script. For specific details, you arrange someone to talk. ”
Zhao Qian said to Zhang Siya, who was following in, and handed her the script casually.
"Okay, no problem. Zhang Siya hurriedly wrote it down, took the script and glanced at the name, without looking closely.
Zhao Qian began to look at the documents, and asked by the way: "Is there anything important on the company's side recently?"
Zhang Siya thought for a while and said, "I remember that you wrote a song for Deng Xuanyu and the two of them before, right?"
"You did warn me. ”
Zhao Qian raised his head: "But I don't have much time these days, let them come to the company next Monday, and I will help them record the song." ”
It is estimated that the two girls have also waited for a long time, they are not as lucky as Li Wanqing, the company's resources are limited, most of them are spent on Li Wanqing, and only a few parts fall into their hands.
However, Rao is so, and it is much better than many newcomers who can only sit on the cold bench in large companies.
Not to mention that Zhao Qian also tailored a song for them.
I believe that with a masterpiece in hand, the popularity of the two of them can rise by one level!
"They don't blame me for delaying for so long, do they?" asked Zhao Qian with a smile.
Zhang Siya hurriedly shook her head: "Where will it be, it's too late for the two of them to be grateful." During this time, I often saw them practicing in the recording studio, and I guess they also wanted to show their best condition. ”
Zhao Qian thought for a while: "That's good, remember to help me tell them to come over on Monday morning." ”
"Okay, I'll let them know. Zhang Siya nodded.
"Anything else?"
Zhang Siya hesitated for a few seconds and said another thing: "Wanqing told me that many companies have contacted her privately, offered various conditions, and are willing to bear liquidated damages for her, hoping to jump to their company." ”
"Don't worry about that. Zhao Qian interrupted without even thinking about it.
Those guys are afraid that they haven't woken up, and they want to come here to dig people, heheda.
Zhang Siya also felt that she was thinking too much, even if anyone changed jobs, Li Wanqing would not be able to change jobs.
Although the scale of Qingshu Culture is not large, it has now made its own signboard in the industry and attracted the attention of many people. There are also people who come to their own companies and plan to change jobs, or fresh graduates come to apply.
Under the instruction of Zhao Qian, Zhang Siya recruited a lot of people, and at this rate, it is only a matter of time before she becomes a first-class large company!
There was nothing else to do, and Zhao Qian didn't leave her anymore, letting her go about her own business.
After Zhao Qian wrote "Crazy Stone" to Wang Huan, he suddenly had a whim.
Why don't you try to shoot something for yourself?
Being a director sounds a lot more fun than being an actor. Many well-known actors have slowly begun to transform into directors later, and two writers who are more familiar to Chinese people are also transforming into directors.
Zhao Qian raised his eyebrows: "Since everyone else can be a director, why can't I?"
Do you lack a script?
There is no shortage!
Not to mention the world, at least I have a lot of high-quality scripts in my mind, whether it is a small budget or a big production, an art film or a commercial film, a modern film or a science fiction film......
Besides, there is no shortage of director theory, what is lacking is practice!
Only after practice can you know what you have a problem with!
Zhao Qian thought about it and decided to find a simpler script and let himself shoot it to practice and see how it worked.
