Gu Xiaofan wants to shoot the theme of abduction?

Chu Qiubai didn't expect that Gu Xiaofan would work so hard to win the Lunar New Year file, just to shoot such a theme. [No pop-up novel network] "樂" Wen "Xiao" said|

If romance films are still a genre in domestic films, then the theme of abduction is not a genre at all, because this is a theme that has absolutely nothing to do with business.

The core value of commercial films is to let the audience enter a story as the protagonist and watch it unstoppable.

The audience's sense of substitution is the most important, and there is no one.

Children want to become all kinds of animals, so most of the protagonists of animated movies are animal images, and young men like to be heroes, all domestic martial arts, foreign superheroes.

Young women love love love stories, and all kinds of idol dramas flood the TV screen.

Middle-aged men love war, anti-Japanese TV dramas are popular all over the country, while middle-aged women are addicted to family trivialities, and various mother-in-law and daughter-in-law dramas have sprung up.

And after the audience brings it in, the whole story is a process of gaining a "sense of achievement", becoming a hero, gaining love, defeating enemies, and forming a perfect family......

For example, "Chinese Partner" is a typical kind of routine, the poor and humble Cheng Dongqing finally became a successful education boss~

And this "sense of achievement" in film and television dramas is the so-called "business".

And abduction? Who is the audience of the abduction story going to bring in? Bringing in a helpless parent who has been abducted? Or bring in the police who caught the "traffickers"? Where is the sense of accomplishment?

Catching human traffickers can give you a sense of accomplishment than fighting Japanese devils? Can finding a child have a sense of accomplishment than being chased by the rich second generation?

Chu Qiubai's first reaction was that Gu Xiaofan "fell into the devil after leaving......

Gu Xiaofan looked at Chu Qiubai looking at him with that strange look, and couldn't help but say with a serious face: "You look at the script first." ”

Chu Qiubai could only turn his head to look at the computer screen carefully, but this time it was a full hour, and Chu Qiubai didn't even take his eyes off the computer screen.

In this kind of story, there are too many bloody things, too many vivid characters, too many details that make him feel cruel...... He felt a little hard to breathe just by looking at it......

Finally, Chu Qiubai raised his head and looked at Gu Xiaofan deeply: "Director Gu, this script is adapted from a true story......

"No, I made it up myself." Gu Xiaofan was shocked, thinking that Chu Qiubai was really powerful, and he actually saw that it was an adaptation of real events, and this detail was disclosed at the end of the original version of "Dear", but now this incident should not have happened......

Chu Qiubai heard that it was Gu Xiaofan's fiction, and his whole heart trembled, when he watched "Love Apartment" and "Chinese Partner", he knew that Gu Xiaofan's script skills were very strong, but most of them were flash talents.

But this "Dear" is completely different, this story is cruel and makes people tremble, it is completely about the torment of human nature, and it is completely beyond the scope of ordinary screenwriters, which Gu Xiaofan's screenwriting skills have taken a big step forward......

No, even if this story is simply published as a novel, how did he come from this literary accomplishment when he is only 20 years old?

"Mr. Chu, what do you think?" Gu Xiaofan saw that Chu Qiubai looked at him in a daze and didn't speak, so he couldn't help asking, but his tone unconsciously brought a sense of oppression, he had to make this movie.

Chu Qiubai slowly walked to the glass window and pulled down the curtains, and looked back at Gu Xiaofan with blazing eyes:

"Director Gu, there is no one here now, can you tell me, why did you make this film? You have to tell me what you're going to do before I can express my attitude. ”

Gu Xiaofan saw that Chu Qiubai was so cautious, and knew that Chu Qiubai was a little skeptical about whether he was planning to take the "art film" route, which is normal for many directors who have "pursuits".

For example, after Chen Kaige "Yellow Earth" and "Farewell My Concubine", he began to take the "road of art" in his mind, and even made a big production like "Wuji" into a stage play.

If so, he, Gu Xiaofan, is probably a time bomb for Shangying...... Because the box office is always the first element of the studio.

"Actually, my purpose is very simple." Gu Xiaofan looked at Chu Qiubai without giving in, opened the skylight and said brightly:

"I want to improve my acting skills and direction through this film, I am still far from being able to shoot "Game of Thrones" and "The Dark Knight", I can't keep repeating the theme of youth, standing still, if I make more box office in this way, it will not make much sense to me personally."

This sounds extremely arrogant, but Gu Xiaofan said it very naturally, because if he wants to make a nostalgic youth drama similar to "Chinese Partner", he has too many choices, and it is not a problem at all to make a steady profit without losing money.

Chu Qiubai nodded: "Okay, I understand, I support you to shoot this film, but you must promise me one condition." ”

"On what terms?" Gu Xiaofan was stunned.

"You have to stay in the upper shadow all the time, that's my only condition." Chu Qiubai said in a deep voice.

As soon as Gu Xiaofan heard this, he immediately understood, Chu Qiubai already thought in his heart that this "Dear" must be a loss of money, not that Shangying couldn't afford to accompany him, but he was afraid that Gu Xiaofan would be poached by someone at that time, so it would really be a loss to his wife and soldiers.

Gu Xiaofan pondered in his heart, and simply said his purpose for a showdown, at this time, if he was still hidden, he would not be able to get Chu Qiubai's complete support, and gritted his teeth and said fiercely:

"Mr. Chu, of course I want to stay in Shangying, but you also know that I am only the deputy director of the art factory, and every time I am restrained, I am afraid that I will not be able to accept it, you must give me power."

He needs to give him his full support, and he doesn't want to go through this approval process every time.

Chu Qiubai asked noncommittally, "Well, tell me what you think." ”

"Next year, the four factories will be united, and you must nominate me to be the general manager of the new Shanghai Film Co-Studio, and I will set the direction of the co-production in the future." Gu Xiaofan stared at Chu Qiubai as he spoke.

Feeling his burning gaze, there was clearly something burning in his ambitious eyes, Chu Qiubai was slightly stunned, no matter how it was, he couldn't have imagined that a child who was only twenty years old would want to dominate the production department of the entire Shanghai Film Group?

If someone else said this, he was afraid that he would have to laugh off his big teeth, but Gu Xiaofan definitely had this qualification.

After he came, Shangying established the leading video website in China, filmed documentaries that became famous among Chinese people all over the world, and also had a movie with a box office of over 100 million.

It can be said that the rapid development of Shangying in the past year has relied on Gu Xiaofan's own efforts, without Gu Xiaofan, the production department of Shangying is simply a decoration.

But even so, Gu Xiaofan is still young after all, and it is still difficult to say that he wants to serve as the general manager of the joint production studio after the integration of the four factories
