Chapter 158

"Overlord Flower"!" Cheng Weiliang stood up and wrote the three big words "Overlord Flower" on the whiteboard behind him with a black water-based brush. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

"This movie, I plan to invest two million, as the opening work of our Mango Film and Television!"

Shao Dingyi: They listened attentively to his narration below. Hearing this, I was immediately shocked, and invested two million in the first movie, which is a big deal for a small film company!

"This is the script I wrote, as well as this plan, you all take it and read it and express your opinions. Dazuiwen handed out the documents, Cheng Weiliang said.

Shao Dingyi and the others picked up the document and read it carefully, and for a while there was only the sound of turning pages in the conference room.

The story script and storyboard script are written in great detail, and each point is also highlighted, and even a number of single-line hand-drawn drawings of the footage are drawn, through which it is as if you have seen vivid movie shots.

The more Shao Dingyi watched it, the more he admired, he had worked at Shaw Brothers for many years, and had seen countless directors make movies, and the success of the general manager was not accidental.

Unlike some directors, who think about the bridge while filming, and think of where to shoot, which leads to divergent plots and unclear themes.

After a while, Cheng Weiliang asked: "Dingyi, Chenguang, you have worked in Shaw Brothers and Shaw Brothers Cinemas for many years, responsible for production and review, you have a wealth of experience in films, tell me, what kind of movies are very popular with the audience now, and what movies are not popular?"

Shao Ding thought for a while and said: "Shaw Brothers costume martial arts films like "Yang Guo and Little Dragon Girl" are not popular, and now the audience loves to watch fighting films full of modern technology elements like "Best Partner". ”

"Kung fu movies with one board and one eye are not good, and humorous kung fu movies like Cheng Longhong Jinbao are very popular. Shao Dingyi sighed.

The Shaw Brothers films, which have experienced the glory of the sixties and seventies, are now increasingly unable to keep up with the development of the audience's tastes, and are declining, and in the competition of the new era, they are far behind by the rival Golden Harvest Company and even the newly rising New Art City Company!

Zhang Chenguang, who used to be in charge of film scheduling in the theater and knew a lot of industry news, also said: "Now the audience's tastes are changing rapidly, if the plot is old-fashioned, it is not enough to play good-looking and funny." In my opinion, Cheng Long's humorous kung fu films started with "Drunken Fist" and "Serpentine Trickster", and after a few years of glory, I feel that the audience is starting to get a little tired. ”

"For example, the current hit action blockbuster "Plan A", the attendance rate in the second week fell faster than most people expected! The three major action stars gathered, and the game was not exciting, but I estimate that the final box office of this film may not be as interesting as "The Five Lucky Stars", which is more interesting in the plot. ”

"If Cheng Long doesn't break through in the future, I'm afraid he will also fall into a bottleneck. Zhang Chenguang concluded.

Cheng Weiliang nodded, Zhang Chenguang, who has watched countless films, really has some vision.

Cheng Long fell into a period of low tide and couldn't find the direction, until the 85 years of "Police Story" was a big hit, so he successfully transformed from a kung fu boy in the early Republic of China to a hot-blooded police image in the modern city, laying the foundation for his future hot-blooded, thrilling, and popular urban action blockbuster.

"To get back to the point, you've read the script, so do you think 'Overlord Flower' has the elements of success for today's blockbuster movies on the market?" Cheng Weiliang seems to have the intention of testing his two employees.

Shao Dingyi, the business manager, put down the script, sorted out his thoughts slightly, and replied: ""Overlord Flower, general manager, you have designed a number of hilarious and hilarious scenes of female special police officers in training and life in the script, and the audience should be very disappointed." ”

In the action scenes, there are internal marksmanship and fighting between the women's overlord flower and the men's Flying Tigers, and there are on-the-spot tests of the female team members by Interpol visiting male instructors, and externally, there are thrilling battles with the international jewelry thief group. ”

Shao Dingyi concluded: "I think that "Overlord Flower" has the box office elements of action and funny, as long as it is successfully filmed and reasonably filmed in theaters, the box office should be more than 10 million, and it may be ranked in the top ten of the annual box office." ”

When everyone in the company heard Manager Shao's prediction, their faces showed joy, if the entrepreneurial work of a small film company can reach tens of millions of box office and enter the top ten of the annual box office, it will be a really good start.

Suddenly, a voice with a different opinion came out, "Manager Shao, I think your prediction is a bit conservative. Just because the script is designed with a variety of fresh elements such as gunfights, explosions, and thrilling bomb disposal that are rare in other films, I think it is enough to ensure that the box office is more than 12 million. ”

Fu Yongqing said: "Moreover, you also missed one of the best-selling elements." ”

"Oh, which element?" asked Shao Dingyi, with some surprise. Although Assistant Fu is a senior student of Chinese University, she has only graduated and worked, and she has not been in contact with the film industry for a long time, and he does not believe that she can see what the door is.

"Love!" Fu Yongqing said the answer, "If there is a love between Instructor Cheng, Senior Inspector Cheng of Interpol, and Madam Hu, the female instructor of Overlord Flower, there must have been an unknown story between them before, the two are talented men and women, and they are like-minded, but why can't they go together so far?"

"Boss, you designed the role of Instructor Cheng and handled his relationship with Madam Hu so vaguely, just to make the audience itch and make the audience explore their past stories, right?"

Cheng Weiliang smiled silently, women's subtle observation is really sensitive. In the script, he wrote the role of the male instructor he added, and the rivalry with the female instructor so vaguely, before it was made into a movie, Fu Yongqing could actually realize that he really underestimated his manager and assistant.

Also, there are four female student characters with distinct images in it. ”

Karen, a beautiful female student who is very talented in bomb disposal, and a teammate met a clever emotional liar, and she quickly recognized and debunked this emotional liar from the small details. Later, a group of them ran into Instructor Cheng, mistook him for a new member of the Flying Tigers and teased him. Later, Karen fell in love with Instructor Cheng, and this emotional drama should also be a blockbuster element to attract the audience. ”

"Do you think I'm right, boss?" Fu Yongqing likes to call Cheng Weiliang the boss, not the general manager.

Cheng Weiliang glanced at her and gave a thumbs up silently.
