Chapter 124 of the text volume obsession (thanks to the alliance leader, please order the first)

Next chapter

The overall atmosphere of the crew is very good, and the only discordant thing is probably Jiang Wen. ←，

Jiang Wen likes to change the script, and he always thinks that he can act better.

When he was in China, he and Feng Xiaogang had many arguments about this, and after coming to the United States, he went around to experience life and observe the daily life of Chinese Americans in the Chinese community.

After observing, he pondered about changing the script, and Feng Xiaogang, as a director, didn't like to change the script the most in order to catch up.

Once the script is changed, the prepared sets and props have to be redone, which is not only a waste of time but also a waste of money.

Jiang Wen is a child of the army, Feng Xiaogang is from the army, and both of them have relatively straight personalities, but Jiang Wen has always paid attention to convincing people with reason, and he will reason with you.

"Aren't you making trouble?" Feng Xiaogang said dissatisfied, "When you make a film, I will also play a role, and I will also make trouble in your crew, see if you can stand it." ”

Jiang Wen looked at Feng Xiaogang seriously, and Feng Xiaogang felt furious when he saw it.

"What do you want to do?" Feng Xiaogang said worriedly.

"I'm thinking about what role to assign you, but your image makes me very embarrassed." Jiang Wen said with a sincere face.

He and Lin Zixuan were discussing the story about the growth of adolescence, and the time for discussion was usually during dinner, and the two of them were usually not free.

Jiang Wen will tell Lin Zixuan about the past in his memory, and Lin Zixuan is responsible for sorting it out and transforming it into a storyline.

Jiang Wen grew up in other places when he was a child, and he didn't transfer to the capital until he went to middle school, he was very ordinary in middle school, both in appearance and grades.

At that time, no one cared about this, students didn't go to class, they ran around, it was a time full of violence, and there were many good memories.

The army compound is relatively quiet, there is not so much disturbance from the outside world, and their group of students who do not go to school are trying to pass the boring time and vent their excess energy all day long.

They smoke, they smoking, they sing, they fight, they provoke schoolgirls.

At that time, a game of "slapping the mother-in-law" was popular in the capital.

If a boy meets a female classmate he likes, he hides at the corner of the street, intercepts the female classmate, and chats without words, if the female classmate is willing to deal with him, then the boy thinks that the girl is his girlfriend.

If another boy approaches the female classmate, it is inevitable that there will be a fight between the two boys, and the loser will quit voluntarily.

For this reason, these people often fight with others, and sometimes they will break their heads and bleed, which is the restlessness of adolescence.

"Brother Jiang, have you ever patted your mother-in-law?" Lin Zixuan said curiously.

"No, I wasn't very sensible at the time, so I just followed the foolishness." Jiang Wen said regretfully.

Lin Zixuan is five years younger than Jiang Wen, and by the time he goes to middle school, the society will basically settle down, and the students will have to attend classes at school.

It was precisely because of his poor grades in middle school that Jiang Wen failed the college entrance examination in the first year, and went to the Beijing Drama Academy in the second year, so he embarked on the path of an actor and became a first-line actor in Huaguo.

The story is not complicated, the key is how to package the simple story of adolescence and integrate it into the background of the whole era, only in this way can it have the power to move people's hearts.

Lin Zixuan sorted out a story outline according to "Sunny Days" and Jiang Wen's memories, the main plot is available, and the following is to fill in various details.

Anyway, Jiang Wen will still revise it when he shoots in the future, and it is useless to write in such detail.

Lin Zixuan just helped Jiang Wen straighten out the thoughts in his mind, in the final analysis, this is a story that belongs to Jiang Wen.

He feels that he can't write scripts for this kind of aspiring director in the future, it's too hard, this kind of person will never be satisfied, always pursue excellence, and always have to figure things out to feel at ease.

"How much investment do you think this film will need?" Lin Zixuan asked.

"What's the matter, it's 2 million dollars, it can't be less than this TV series." Jiang Wen said confidently.

Lin Zixuan was very speechless, this sentence completely exposed the essence of Jiang Wen's rookie director, and he had no idea at all how much it would cost to make a movie.

The reason why the investment in "Beijing People in New York" is so high is because it has to be filmed in the United States throughout the whole process, how can you rent a big yard in China and find a few young men and women to shoot a film that can be filmed with such a high investment.

Besides, even if you want to, it is estimated that no one will want to invest.

According to Lin Zixuan's estimate, coupled with Jiang Wen's habit of changing the script indiscriminately, the wasted film, 1 million US dollars is enough.

This is exactly the reason why Jiang Wen wants to find Lin Zixuan to be a producer, what he values is Lin Zixuan's ability to find money and save money.

A 21-episode TV series can raise $1.5 million, so finding funds to shoot a movie is not a piece of cake, he is already thinking about preparing to make a movie after returning to China.

Lin Zixuan couldn't laugh at this, "Beijing People in New York" can attract investment due to many factors, this is a task assigned by the superior department, and it can only be successful if it is sold in advance.

"Then let's get a patch ad for this film, won't it be over." Jiang Wen said confidently.

"The problem is that we don't think this story is useful, and we have to make investors and advertisers feel good too." Lin Zixuan smiled bitterly, "This film has no appeal in terms of story, actors, and directors, how can this be favored." ”

"It's your business, I'll just make a film, Xiaolin, my brother is very relieved of you." Jiang Wen said irresponsibly.

For this kind of almost scoundrel practice, Lin Zixuan can't help it.

He pondered for a while, it is almost impossible to get a loan from the bank, the risk is too great, if it is a film directed by Zhang Yimou and starring Jiang Wen, the bank will be interested, directed by Jiang Wen, a movie starring a group of unknown teenagers, it is strange that the bank can take care of it.

There is little hope of attracting investment in China, so we can only look for funds from Xiangjiang or abroad.

"Are you really going to make a producer for Brother Jiang?" Mu Shanshan was surprised, "Can your story get funds?" ”

"We're all friends, and if you can, you can help." Lin Zixuan said with emotion, "Brother Jiang really wants to make this film, everyone has an obsession in their hearts, they won't stop until they reach it, Brother Jiang is in this state, he is a little crazy, such a person can always do something that others can't do." ”

"And what are your obsessions?" Mu Shanshan said curiously.

"Me?" Lin Zixuan thought about it, shook his head and said, "I really don't have anything special to do, I feel a little unpursued." ”

"That's good, it's safe." Mu Shanshan was satisfied, "By the way, Xiaoling is going to take the college entrance examination, should you call back?" ”

"That girl is restless, I'm really worried." Lin Zixuan said depressedly.

When he thought of Lin Xiaoling, Lin Zixuan had a little headache, and when he left, he specially told his sister not to apply for art colleges, but Lin Xiaoling didn't know if she listened or not. (To be continued.) )
