Chapter 65: Brothers

……

Lin Ze hastily said to Li Hui that he knew, thanked him for the notice, and hung up the phone.

Liu Dehua saw that he wanted to stop talking, so he asked, "What's the matter, what's the matter with Ah Hui's call?" ”

Lin Ze sighed, frowned, and said, "Brother Hua, there is something I want to discuss with you." ”

"What's the matter?" Liu Dehua was suspicious.

"Uh......" Lin Ze secretly organized the language and said: "Ah Hui, their director wants to push me to the People's Daily, but now the influence is not enough, I want to ...... Well, it's best to hit the charts with the songs I wrote! ”

"Huh?" Liu Dehua was stunned when he heard this, and his brows were locked, "This matter ......"

Liu Dehua, the copyright of Lin Ze's songs, has already bought them at a high price.

It stands to reason that Lin Ze has no say in it, but Lin Ze's terrifying creative skills have to make Liu Dehua think deeply.

Although these songs were sung in the concert, they did not spread outside, even if some fans would hum a few sentences, some reporters filmed the scene, but because it was not a special recording equipment, the image was shaky and blurry, the sound was noisy, and it was not ornamental at all.

In the past two days, the news and newspapers have praised these songs very highly, and they have praised them after listening to them on the spot, and they have already hung the appetite of those fans who did not go to the scene.

So, it's a great time to release an album and open up sales!

However, if all these songs are put on the list now, everyone has heard them, not to mention that pirated ones will appear immediately, even if there is no piracy, this curiosity is gone, and the album will be made urgently, and the sales will definitely be affected a lot!

Lin Ze saw that Liu Dehua was hesitant and thinking, but he didn't bother, and he didn't have any malicious intentions, but in fact, he was a little reluctant in his heart.

Because he also thought that this is actually to fulfill himself, and to lose Andy's interests!

The brothers still have to settle accounts, not to mention that they have only known each other for a few days now?

“…… Brother Hua, if you are embarrassed......" Lin Ze paused, "just because I didn't say it." ”

Liu Dehua didn't say anything immediately, and the car drove on the highway for a long time.

Lin Ze thought in his heart: If it doesn't work, I will simply get two more songs and sing them on the list by myself, not to make money, but to be on the People's Daily, this is a qualification! He's young, and he needs that kind of qualifications!

"Alas~" At this time, I suddenly heard Liu Dehua sighing beside him, "Forget it, let's play the list!" ”

Lin Ze didn't seem to hear clearly, "What? ”

Liu Dehua put his arm around Lin Ze's shoulders and said with a wry smile: "I said I'll take them together to play the list!" ”

"Brother Hua!" Now Lin Ze heard it clearly, and he was quite surprised!

Liu Dehua shook his head and said with a smile: "Aze, I value you as a brother more than those interests!" ”

Lin Ze's heart was moved, he didn't know what to say, his heart moved, ah, by the way, didn't Liu Dehua's Tianmu Film Company have a problem? Why don't you help him?

Liu Dehua patted Lin Ze's shoulder again and said, "If you are talented, you should let everyone know!" Get affirmed! Haha, I have a brother like you, although I will lose a little this time, but you can still write songs for me again, and the loss will be earned back, and the future will be long! ”

Lin Ze didn't care what he said, but another thing suddenly came to mind in his heart.

Although Liu Dehua Tianmu Company is not well managed, although the sparrow is small, it has all kinds of organs, and Liu Dehua has a wide range of contacts in the circle, as a king, he is familiar with major directors and screenwriters in Hong Kong, isn't this a big resource?

He thought of Lin Xinru, this resource should be very useful to Lin Xinru, right?

Liu Dehua saw that Lin Ze was stunned and didn't pay attention to himself, and asked, "What do you want!" His hand shook in front of his eyes.

Lin Ze came back to his senses, sighed, looked at Liu Dehua, and said, "Brother Hua, why don't I write a script for you?" ”

Liu Dehua was stunned, "Huh? …… Screenplay? ”

Lin Ze said: "Movie script. ”

Liu Dehua: "Can you still write a script?" He looked surprised, quite unbelieving.

Lin Ze said: "Didn't Brother Hua open a Tianmu company? ”

Liu Dehua shook his head with a reluctant smile and said, "Alas, don't mention it." ”

Lin Ze knew that Tianmu's business was not good, and he suffered serious losses, and he did not invest in a movie in 99, and he had to rely on him to hold concerts, release albums, make movies, and endorse to make up for the losses.

Liu Dehua has literary plots, and most of the movies shot by Tianmu Company are also literary and artistic, with a good reputation, and a few of them are excellent, but the box office is not ideal.

In the media, he is a typical example of failure as a star boss, and it can be said that Tianmu Company has become a pain in Liu Dehua's heart!

"Hehe~~~" Lin Ze smiled, didn't say much, only said: "I'll write it and you can take a look." ”

"Hmm." Liu Dehua responded, not taking it to heart.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

The group immediately went to Tianmu Company, Liu Dehua's album was being edited and produced, and he called the main person in charge to have a small meeting.

Lin Ze and Zhu Liqian waited in his office.

Zhu Liqian obviously knew the situation of the company and asked, "Aze, can you really write a script?" She had just heard their conversation in the car.

Lin Ze nodded and snorted.

Zhu Liqian's eyes lit up, but she was full of expectations for Lin Ze, and said: "Then you have to help you Brother Hua, alas, although he doesn't say it, but I also know that this company is ......"

She shook her head, "...... Don't say it! ”

"Don't worry, sister-in-law!" Lin Ze felt that Liu Dehua was really blessed to find Zhu Liqian as his wife, and said: "Brother Hua treats me as a brother, and I naturally treat him as a brother!" ”

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

In the conference room, after Liu Dehua said the arrangement, the supervisors had some different opinions.

Andy people are very good, but why should they lose the interests of their own company to help others?

A female protagonist: "Mr. Liu, in business, doing so will bring us a lot of losses!" ”

"I know, I know!" Liu Dehua saw that they were all a little emotional, and said with a smile: "But Aze is my brother, and he is very talented, you also know this, hehe, now I lose a little, it's nothing, well, just take it as a personal investment!" ”

"But ......" the female supervisor frowned anxiously, "the company has lost too much, even the income of this concert is counted, it still can't make up for the deficit, if the album sales are not ideal, alas, I'm afraid that in two or three months, I won't even be able to pay the rent......"

Everyone knows this.

Now that Hong Kong is experiencing the aftermath of the financial crisis, it is difficult to find employment, and if the company closes, they will lose their jobs...... Alas, do you have to look for a way back first? I heard that Zhongxing is hiring......

"Well, I know, I'll figure it out." Liu Dehua took responsibility, stabilized the morale of the army, and comforted.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Tianmu Company has professionals, and before noon, the singles of the four songs written by Lin Ze were all ready.

After a staff member sent it to the office, Lin Ze and the others looked at it, and there was no problem, so Liu Dehua arranged it again, and even ordered someone to arrange the songs to hit the charts.

Everyone ate at a nearby restaurant at noon, Lin Ze was grateful for Liu Dehua's affection, and after eating, he took Fang Jian, Liu Qiang, and Wei Gang to say goodbye.

The four of them had already left their rooms at Shangri-La and asked for four rooms at a nearby affordable hotel.

Fang Jian had been to Hong Kong, and he was fine in the afternoon, so he took Liu Qiang and Wei Gang out for a walk.

Lin Ze stayed in the room, thinking about which script to get for Liu Dehua.

Tianmu was in financial difficulties at this time.

So, first of all, this movie has to be small-budget.

Well, it has to be a high box office receipt!

"Small cost, high box office! Small cost, high box office! ……”

Lin Ze's thought moved, and a list of low-cost and high-grossing films over the years was listed.

I don't know if I don't see this, and I am shocked when I see it.

It turned out that at the beginning of this year, there was a masterpiece in the United States that shocked the industry.

"Blair the Witch", which cost less than $1 million to make, has a box office of $248 million!

Damn, the box office is 248 times the cost! No wonder it shocked the industry, this is simply an irreproducible miracle!

This dazzling input-output ratio is the James who coaxed and coaxed the "Titanic"? Cameron has to be convinced, too!

Lin Ze smacked his lips secretly, this movie is really a money-making business.

He looked at the ranking again, it didn't matter, his heart jumped even more, and his eyes widened.

Holy!

What is 248 times?

There's an even more awesome one here!

The box office is a cost...... Twelve thousand times more than !!

I'm rubbing, this is God's work!

$15,000 cost, $194 million box office!

This "Smart: Ghost Shadow" ranked second comprehensively, just because the box office was a little lower than the previous one.

Lin Ze swallowed his saliva, looked down again, and found that the costs below were all more than one million dollars, but the box office was more than 100 million US dollars, and the investment-to-return ratio was also very attractive!

But Lin Ze didn't think about it, so he chose "Ghost"!

When I lay down on the bed, I *searched* this movie in my mind and watched it again.

……

After 90 minutes.

Lying on the bed, quietly closing his eyes, Lin Ze, who was covered with cold sweat, suddenly opened his eyes, gasped for breath, and looked frightened.

I took a few deep breaths and calmed down.

No wonder this movie did so well!

This movie is definitely a classic among suspense horror films!

Lin Ze got up and poured a glass of cold water, drank a few sips, sat on the desk next to the bed, opened the notebook, and wanted to start writing the script.

Lin Zezi naturally can't write a script, but what does it matter? After one thought, countless books on script writing were all entered into the database, and the next second, he was already a master of script writing!

Scripts are generally divided into two types, namely scripts and director's scripts.

The former is generally for the actors, and there are mainly character descriptions and storylines on it.

The latter is for the director, also known as the storyboard script, which scenes to shoot at each step and what the specific content and set are must be reflected in the script.

Directing a script is extremely important to reduce costs and control budgets.

Lin Ze wrote the director's script.

However, the cost of this movie is only $15,000, and although Tianmu has suffered a serious loss, it is still easy to bear!

Three hours later, the script was completed.

But that's not the end of it.

Because this script is just written according to the original movie.

This is inconsistent with Lin Ze's thoughts.

In this movie, he not only wants to help Tianmu turn his losses into profits, but also wants to help Liu Dehua show his face in Hollywood!

So Liu Dehua must be the leading actor.

And the heroine, he also has a favorite choice - hehe, it's none other than Zhu Liqian!

Lin Ze closed his eyes and rubbed his eyes, thought for a while, and suddenly hooked the corners of his mouth, and thought of a good beginning:

Andy is a superstar in Hong Kong, ten years ago he opened his own company as the boss, but the management was not good, continuous losses, and finally after almost all the savings were consumed, he still could not recover the overall situation, and finally went bankrupt, he couldn't accept this reality for a while, and became depressed.

In order to help her husband regain his spirits, his hidden wife Li Qian decided to go to the United States to relax, and they lived in a large suburban house that they had bought before but had never lived in......

And so, the story begins in this big house.

Lin Ze changed the beginning of the script like this, and was secretly proud: Hehe, after the movie is filmed, release a few photos of Liu Dehua and Zhu Liqian entering and leaving the big house hand in hand, haha, doesn't this set off a storm of scandals in the whole of Asia? When the scandal was at its most intense, it was announced that this was actually a still from a movie......

Thinking like this, he was suddenly stunned.

Hey, that's not right!

suddenly realized: The majority of this movie should be in the North American market!

Liu Dehua is famous in Asia, but in Hollywood...... Well, ahem, it's more ashamed and ashamed.

So the news that he and Julie Qian are living together, who are the Americans?

"Hmm~" Lin Ze patted his head and said in his heart: Then there is no point in using scandals to publicize like this!

However, in the blink of an eye, he thought of another effective propaganda method.

You can't borrow the potential of entertainment scandals, you can borrow the momentum of social news!

His eyes are shining, full of cunning, it is better to do a fake show, to confuse the real with the fake, to use the film as a documentary, and lie that the house has met a ghost......

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

In the evening, Fang Jian called back and said don't wait for them, they are eating out.

Lin Ze responded, hung up the phone, and just finished the revision of the script.

Without further ado, I called Liu Dehua.

"Brother Hua, my script is ready!"

"Ah, what?" Liu Dehua was obviously stunned.

Lin Ze didn't care, he was quite excited, "Brother Hua, are you still in the company now?" ”

"Well, there's something going on."

"Oh, that's good." Lin Ze said: "Then you wait for me, I'll go to you now!" ”

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

In less than half an hour, Lin Ze arrived at Tianmu.

Liu Dehua's office. Lin Ze knocked on the door twice, and before waiting for an answer from inside, he opened the door and went in.

As soon as I entered, I saw Liu Dehua leaning back on the boss's chair with a sad face, and when he saw someone breaking in, his face changed at first, and he was a little annoyed, but when he saw that Lin Ze was coming, he stood up with a forced smile and said, "Ah, it's Aze, you're here so soon?!" ”

Lin Ze smiled, he didn't have the heart to talk nonsense, and was about to take out his notebook and show him the script, but Liu Dehua walked over, put his arm on his shoulder, and said with a smile: "Let's go, I will inform your sister-in-law that you have done your part." ”

"Uh......" Lin Ze was so embarrassed that he didn't have time to say anything, so he and Liu Dehua left the company.

Chen Aihua had something to do, Liu Dehua was driving, and Li Ze was sitting in the passenger seat, so he couldn't be asked to read the script at this time, so he talked about it first.

The general plot of the movie is introduced.

When Liu Dehua heard the beginning, he frowned, but he didn't say anything.

After Lin Ze finished talking, he saw that Liu Dehua's face was as usual, as if he hadn't listened much, so he smiled and said: "Aze, you are really capable, you thought of a story in one afternoon, and you got your sister-in-law in, well, hehe, this story is good." ”

Seeing that he didn't seem to care, Lin Ze hurriedly said, "Brother Hua, this is a very good movie!" ”

"Well, I know, good movie." He shook his head with a light smile, glanced at Lin Ze, and said, "Brother, your brother has received your heart, but ...... Alas~" sighed, "It's not so easy to make a movie!" ”

No way~

Seeing him refuse, Lin Ze muttered to himself: I spent an afternoon, and I personally delivered money to the door, but I was actually refused, is there any reason for this special *code*?!

rolled his eyes and leaned on his back, "The investment is only 15,000 US dollars, Brother Hua, don't you consider it?" ”

Liu Dehua smiled, shook his head, and said casually: "$15,000 ......" That look was obviously disdainful!

It's like saying: What good movie can be made for $15,000?

Lin Ze didn't calculate this catastrophe even if he didn't calculate it, and said angrily: "It's just 15,000, why don't Brother Hua give himself a chance?!" ”

Liu Dehua still smiled and shook his head.

Lin Ze knew that he was not stingy, otherwise he would have spent millions to buy Lin Ze's songs?

He is actually really not optimistic about the story Lin Ze said.

$15,000 a movie? Uh, and still want to release it in North America?
