111. Chapter 111: Black Feather Studio
Gu Xiaofan couldn't help but be shocked when he heard this, and couldn't help asking:
"Has a director ever been an investor himself?"
"Of course, like Francis Coppola, who is recognized as one of the greatest directors of all time in Hollywood, you know?"
Gu Xiaofan didn't know it originally, but he happened to study him in the movie appreciation class two days ago, and he nodded: "The director of "The Godfather" is right, I heard that it is very awesome~"
Although he didn't understand much about "The Godfather......
Lou Yixiao nodded: "He has filmed two consecutive "The Godfather" and "Apocalypse Now", and the three consecutive movies have achieved unprecedented success at the word-of-mouth box office. 【】
But after these three masterpieces, Francis Coppola invested in the filming of a movie "Sweetheart" with full investment, which failed miserably at the box office, not only accompanied all his assets, but also owed $50 million in debt.
As a result, for more than ten years after that, the great director was plunged into a debt crisis and never made a single film again......"
Gu Xiaofan froze when he listened, he didn't expect investors to be so dangerous?
Liu Shishi saw that he was frightened, and couldn't help but pat him on the shoulder speechlessly:
"Gu Xiaoqing, what are you afraid of, you are so poor that you can't be a film investor in your life, and no one is looking for you to collect debts."
Gu Xiaofan was already in a cold sweat behind his back when he heard this...... That's what he wanted to do... Listening to Francis Coppola's story, he felt like he was seeing himself ten years later......
Liu Shishi nodded his head with her finger and comforted:
"Don't worry, things are not so scary, as long as you are not an investor, our actors and directors actually live a very simple life, and we are the least risk-free.
We take other people's money to create our own works, and if we shoot well~ the salary is high, and there are advertisements.
In case the box office fails, the investment production company collapses and changes to another one, anyway, it would be good if you don't fall into the pit stupidly.
Big directors like George Lucas and Peter Jackson set up their own studios, and then went to big film companies to produce films to make money, and then filmed "Star Wars" and "The Lord of the Rings".
When Gu Xiaofan heard this, suddenly the whole person came to life, and he clapped his hands and smiled:
"yes, why do you want to invest stupidly...... For any actor and director, as long as the development is good, the money will never be used up for a lifetime~! Setting up a production studio, this is an industry that has no risk at all~"
Liu Shishi looked at him and nodded with a teachable expression: "That's what it means." ”
"Good~!" Gu Xiaofan listened with excitement, and then suddenly held Liu Shishi's tender hand tightly with high interest.
"Sister Shi~~ There is one thing, you must promise me~" Gu Xiaofan looked at Liu Shishi with extremely sincere eyes.
"What...... What the? Liu Shishi was held by Gu Xiaofan's hand, and her heartbeat accelerated inexplicably, looking at the people coming and going, fortunately no one paid attention to this side......
I can't help but think in my heart, scared...... What's going on? This Gu Xiaofan didn't want to propose to her, right......
Damn, you don't even have a ring and you want to frame me...... Wrong wrong~! Even if I have a ring, I can't say yes~!
When Liu Shishi's heart was churning, Gu Xiaofan said in a sincere tone:
"Sister Shi, why don't you set up a film and television studio, and I will follow you to fight the world!"
"What? That's it? Liu Shishi felt a little speechless when she heard it, clam~!? It's not a marriage proposal, but to eat soft rice with yourself?
"yes!" Gu Xiaofan said with a serious face:
"Isn't this what Sister Shi just said? Set up a film and television studio, pit investors' money together, and realize our dreams! You also said before that I will follow you when I enter the industry, and you have to take care of me."
"This ...... That's what I said...... But now isn't the time, right? I'm just an actor, and I don't have a director, screenwriter, or producer, how can I set up a studio? ”
Liu Shishi felt a little speechless when she heard it, she did say so, but it was too unrealistic to ask her to set up a film and television studio, right?
"That means that if you have a director, a screenwriter, and a production company with a producer, can you join?" Gu Xiaofan finally laughed with satisfaction:
"Okay~ It's up to you, I'm here to set up a studio, and I have everything you want, so Sister Shi, you can join my team."
As soon as Liu Shishi heard this, she immediately knew that she had been fooled, and this Gu Xiaofan was tricked into him......
But what surprised her even more was that this Gu Xiaofan wanted to set up a film and television studio by himself!!
"Gu Xiaoqing? You're not crazy...... are you" Liu Shishi's delicate face was full of surprise, and she reached out and touched Gu Xiaofan's forehead and said:
"You're a poor freshman, even if your acting skills are good, but you're just an actor, what studio do you open? Are you stupid......"
"Who says I'm just an actor?" Gu Xiaofan stood up solemnly, and then made a gentlemanly salute in front of Liu Shishi:
"Now, let me formally introduce myself, I, Gu Xiaofan, from now on, will write, direct, and act in all my works, and my studio will become a Chinese ...... No~ It's the best film and television studio in the world~"
Liu Shishi was stunned by Gu Xiaofan's arrogance again, and wrote it, directed and acted by herself...... This Gu Xiaofan seems to be completely crazy.
Gu Xiaofan looked at the crowd of people coming and going under the glass wall of the theater, suddenly opened his arms, closed his eyes and said unwillingly:
"I've already thought of the name of my studio, so it's called 'Black Feather'~!
The black-feathered crows are the most common, despised and ordinary birds in the world, picking up garbage in the corners of the city to fill their stomachs and live at the bottom......
But it is also the smartest bird on the planet, they can survive in any bad place, and when these black crows are placed on the peak of 6000 meters, it will become the tallest bird in the world to fly~! ”
...... Black Feather Studio?
Liu Shishi originally felt that Gu Xiaofan was messing around, but looking at his forgetful and reckless appearance, she couldn't help but be deeply infected by his passionate pride.
Especially when Gu Xiaofan was describing Hei Yu, wasn't he describing himself?
The most ordinary bird survives in the harshest environment, but when it is placed on the top of a towering mountain, it is the highest bird in the world~!
He Gu Xiaofan has such a pride, doesn't I have Liu Shishi?
Liu Shishi couldn't help but feel angry and blood surging for a while when she thought of this, nodded and said, "Okay~!! Have a backbone! Whatever you do, count it as your sister and me. ”
Gu Xiaofan was stunned for a moment, then his eyes widened and he felt a little disbelieving: "Sister Shi, did you really agree?"
Weird, that's too easy, right? If he was Liu Shishi himself, it would never be possible to agree to such a ridiculous request so quickly...... Target......
