Chapter 260: Reference
Zong Lei heard that the company said that the young filmmaker Yang Qing, who was rejected by him just now, was back again, and he came back with He Mu, he immediately became nervous, He Mu, this kid shouldn't want to make movies again, not to mention the miserable loss of "Flight Attendant", even if he starred in the super good reputation of "One Shot 147", the situation in the domestic film industry is not optimistic, so many movies are made every year, only one-third can be released in theaters, and many of these one-third are one-day trips, Of these thirds, only about one-third can still make money at the box office, so the situation in the entire film industry is almost one out of ten can make money.
With such a low profit probability, it would be better if it was an experienced veteran film company, but the movie is the weakness of the tiger wolf, and He Mu remembered that one play was another, and Zong Lei was really a little worried.
For He Mu's talent and vision, Zong Lei does not recognize much, although he knows that the project of "Chang'an Chaos" was promoted by He Mu, but he feels that the success of "Chang'an Chaos" has more luck components, and it will have such a big response if he happens to catch up with netizens who like it, although he also knows He Mu in the list of screenwriters of "True Treasure", but he feels that it is more likely that He Mu will be famous, or this is just one of the means used for publicity in this drama in the future. He prefers to believe that the script was led by two other screenwriters, Li Wenhua and Bei Sihan.
So Zong Lei found Xiao Fang for the first time, and in the Tiger Wolf Company, he was the only one who could dispel He Mu's thoughts.
The conversation between He Mu and Yang Qing continued, facing He Mu's questions about his creative ideas. Yang Qing bluntly said that he was inspired by the classic Korean comedy film "The Gas Station Attack", and the main idea of "Supermarket" is similar to that of "Gas Station", both because the store owner is in debt. So the debt collector kidnapped the boss and posed as a clerk to sell out the goods in the store, so as to get the money that should have belonged to him.
"And the style of this script is also influenced by Ning Hao's "Crazy Stone", taking the route of black comedy, I think this style is still very marketable in the mainland." Yang Qingdao.
"The plot imitates "Gas Station", and the style is similar to "Stone"......" He Mu didn't look at Yang Qing and said softly. However, out of the corner of his eye, he noticed that Yang Qing's spirit was tense, as if he wanted to say something.
Yang Qing is quite honest, maybe he feels that he can't hide it from He Mu. So be honest and entertaining.
In fact, He Mu is not very repulsive about borrowing, and when the amazing and glamorous "Crazy Stone" first came out, a large number of European and American fans accused Ning Hao of plagiarizing Gai. Richie's "Two Big Smoking Guns", but in He Mu's opinion, in his mind. "Crazy Stone" has a much higher status than "Two Smoking Guns". Because "Crazy Stone" is local, down-to-earth, it is purely Chinese, and it is in line with the thinking of Chinese movie-watching, so it can be a big success, maybe there are some places in the movie where Ning Hao borrowed from Gai. Richie, but Ning Hao cleverly transplanted it into this small-budget comedy, and he obeyed the soil. So "Crazy Stone" is a classic, and it can't be erased because there are some similarities with "Two Smoking Guns".
He Mu is interested in watching excellent movies from any country. He has also seen "The Gas Station Attack", and he watched it recently, this small-budget comedy film won more than 3 million viewers in South Korea in the 90s of the last century, which is a miracle, and it is regarded as a model for follow-up Korean comedies, and also won a Blue Dragon Award for the actor.
From the heart, "The Gas Station Attack" is indeed a rare masterpiece full of whimsy, and "Supermarket" has a high similarity with this movie, but in all fairness, can't other people use the bridge of employees kidnapping the boss to sell goods to pay wages, it seems that this has not risen to the point of patents and copyrights, even if Yang Qing borrowed part of the setting and framework of "Gas Station", but the bones and blood in it are original, and the background is also new, and it is different from the violent comedy of "Gas Station" It is not suitable for children, "Supermarket" It is a funny and very heartwarming story, more suitable for the taste of Chinese audiences, this is the conclusion that He Mu came to after reading it for the second time, although the quality is not as good as "Crazy Stone", he feels that this script is still funny, but he also wants to tease the young director Yang.
"Since the plot is a parody of "Gas Station" and the style is a parody of "Stone", what else is your own in this script?" He Mu smiled.
"I'm ......" Yang Qing was just about to speak, and the door of He Mu's office was pushed open by Xiao Fang.
"Why didn't you say hello to me when you kid came back," Xiao Fang said with a smile, "Also, Datang is looking for you." ”
"Oh, I know, I'll say hello to you two later, this is Mr. Yang Qing, he has a good script in his hand, I like it." He Mu said to Xiao Fang, Yang Qing didn't expect He Mu to say this, just now he thought that He Mu would make things difficult for himself, he had prepared a lot of rhetoric to explain that "Supermarket" is an independent and unique work.
"Oh, really?" Xiao Fang walked over quietly, "I'll take a look." ”
He Mu handed the script to Xiao Fang, and he only glanced at it and began to pick and choose, "Supermarket? It's a name that's too unattractive. ”
"Can the name be changed, right, Mr. Yang?" He Mu looked at Yang Qing.
"Of course, I also thought I could have chosen a more appropriate name, but I was a little lazy at the beginning." Yang Qing sneered, this Mr. Xiao didn't seem to be very satisfied with his work, and just after he finished talking about the title of the book, he picked his nose and eyes at the plot.
Fortunately, He Mu would help Yang Qing say something, he could see that Xiao Fang was absent-minded, and the problem was not to the point, and he was even a little unreasonable.
"Mr. Yang, this is the number of the machine in my hand, I am going to Japan soon, I will be back in about three or two days, and we will talk about cooperation in detail after we come back, okay?" He Mu handed the script back to Yang Qing, the meaning was obvious, sending off guests, but it was not refusing to cooperate.
Yang Qing was very knowledgeable, "Okay, Mr. Xie Lu, Mr. Xie He, Mr. Xie Lu, Mr. Xie Xiao." ”
After Yang Qing left, Xiao Fang snorted, "Thank me for what to do, I didn't say anything good." ”
"Brother Fang, you were a little out of grace just now."
"You still said me, did I tell you, now the film department has just started, just make a movie a year, and then expand production capacity when it develops in the future, and the company has just suffered a heavy loss because of the movie "Flight Attendant", and it hasn't slowed down yet, everyone is not very enthusiastic about the film project, although the two of us can talk about it, but can we ignore the opinions of other high-level leaders! Also, didn't Cheng Long invite you to make a movie, then you still mix with that, that Yang or something, you don't know which is more important! ……”
Xiao Fang is like a chattering old woman, persuading He Mu bitterly, but He Mu is also a person who admits death, "I know the Tao, I know everything, but that script is really a good project, and the risk is very small, I really don't want to miss it." ”
