When he left Wang Fei's house, Su Da was still a little confused!
Originally, I came to ask Wang Fei about her recommendation of Xie Tingfeng, but she helped Wang Fei sing a red face in a daze, and even became a confidant brother, no, the dinner was made by Su Da for the two of them, Su Da didn't know if it was right for him to come here today, and he didn't have to find Wang Fei to understand.
No, people are unlucky, people drink water and stuff their teeth, on the first day of this year, there was a scandal with Li Yunxin, and then Fan Binbin had an accident again, and it was finally solved, Su Da just went to Wang Fei's house once, and was rumored to be scandalous again, and there was even a picture of the truth, Su Da didn't mention how depressed he was.
"I said Suda, I heard you brag before that Wang Fei had pursued you, but I didn't expect that you really didn't lie to me, it's really a good cabbage to the pig!"
can talk to Su Da like this, it is estimated that only Jiang Wen is the only one in the entire company, and this girl can't say anything good from her mouth, but listening to Jiang Wen's meaning, why did Su Da's heart change so twisted, and suddenly came back to his senses, glared at Jiang Wen angrily and said, "Hey, I said, why don't you scold me for being a pig?" ”
"No, you definitely heard it wrong, tell me, how far have you two got!"
Knowing that Jiang Wen was changing the topic, Su Da did not debunk it, and replied with a roll of his eyes: "The relationship between me and Wang Fei is innocent, don't shout everywhere, I am a famous person, be careful that I sue you for slander!" ”
Jiang Wen smiled, patted the newspaper in his hand and said, "Come on, you still pretend to be with me, you are all hugged, and you are innocent, who believes that!" ”
Suda was the most speechless about this place. You said that these reporters have been so powerful for so long, they avoided the sight of the two of them, and successfully took a photo of Wang Fei crying on Su Da's shoulder, from the reporter's point of view, the two seemed to be hugging and making love, and Su Da couldn't wash it even if he jumped into the Yellow River now. It is estimated that now Suda has come forward to clarify, I believe that everyone thinks that Suda is cheap and good, and amuses them!
Even from the time of a few photos, this reporter estimated that he had been ambushed outside a long time ago, Suda is simply a door-to-door delivery, but you said too, it snows so heavily, and he can still be ambushed outside for a few hours, this guy is also hard enough!
"Brother. Really, believe me, I really have nothing to do with Wang Fei! ”
"Okay, if you don't say it, don't say it, it's like I'm forcing you!"
Jiang Wen waved his hand domineeringly, if you don't say it, I don't want to hear it yet, but what does that look mean. Are you despising me,? Brother had such a hot temper, Su Da suddenly became angry, stood up, and said to Jiang Wen: "Hurry up and say something, get out of here!" ”
"Yes, you are the master. I can't afford to mess with, look at the script I wrote! ”
When it came to business, Su Da also put away his giggling expression, especially Jiang Wen's script. You have to be careful, even if the script is passed, you have to send someone to monitor Jiang Wen, and you must not let Jiang Wen add and change the drama at will, otherwise, you will wait to be stuck by radio and television.
"What's it, why can't I understand what you're trying to say?"
Looking at the script that Jiang Wen threw on the table, there was no name, which made Su Da frown slightly, because this represented the unknown, as Su Da turned the pages one by one, Su Da's brows furrowed even more, Jiang Wen's script had not yet taken shape at all, and it didn't even seem to be just a story, Su Da was a little confused about what Jiang Wen was doing!
Jiang Wen replied to Su Da with a hippie smile: "It's right if you don't understand, let me tell you, the more you can't understand, the more others will buy it!" But there was a hint of disappointment in his eyes, to be honest, he didn't have much inspiration recently, he was finally unblocked, he could pick up the directing tube again, and he couldn't wait to start filming, even if the script was not fully formed, Jiang Wen was ready to cheat the funds from Su Da, and while filming, he revised the script, anyway, he often did this work!
"No, I won't invest without a complete script, if you have an opinion on this result, you can go outside and pull funds!"
Now Jiang Wen is one of the shareholders of the company, if he runs outside to pull funds because he is rejected, it will definitely be a slap in the face of Su Da, and the two will definitely fall out, for this little thing, it is not worth it, so, in the face of this result, Jiang Wen said distressedly: "Then what to do, I have itchy hands now!" ”
"You can find someone to write you a script!" Su Da replied with a smile, very satisfied with Jiang Wen's compromise.
Jiang Wen's eyes lit up, but then dimmed, and he said helplessly: "I want to, but there is no script that meets my heart, why don't you have a lot of ideas, write one for me?" ”
"I write?"
Su Da's eyes widened, since Su Da gave up his dream and returned to Nanhu TV to follow the path arranged by his father step by step, Su Da has already been rusty with the work of writing scripts, and even the TV series "Boys Over Flowers", Su Da is only responsible for coming up with ideas!
"Yes, I've watched "Sister Xu", and the few ideas you thought of in it can be taken out separately and made into a movie, how about it, let's work together again and get a few awards back?"
Jiang Wen is telling the truth, the movie only needs a central idea, and the scenes that Su Da added in "Sister Xu", in Jiang Wen's eyes, can definitely be taken out separately and written into a script, don't underestimate these ideas, often the inspiration at the beginning of the movie is to have ideas first, and then there will be a plot added later.
"Don't you tell me, I really have an idea!"
With Su Da's current identity, it is naturally impossible to waste time writing scripts, but Jiang Wen's words made Su Da a little moved, after all, those who are engaged in film companies will definitely not lose honor, it just so happened that Su Da remembered a good idea he found when he occasionally read novels in his previous life.
To put it bluntly, before Suda's rebirth, that idea was not clever, because this idea was a plagiarism of a movie in the United States, it is estimated that many people should have heard of it even if they haven't seen it, that is, a small-budget independent film with a total investment of more than 10,000 US dollars, which successfully jumped out of the inherent routine of traditional science fiction films such as "laser plus metal", and advanced it in the form of pure dialogue, interpreting a drama-style soft science fiction movie, "This Man is from Earth"!
Suda has seen this movie, honestly, it is definitely a classic, the movie almost has no music, and the whole movie with a slight impression is only a piece of music, a piano piece of Beethoven. Throughout the movie, one man is telling the story and the others are listening and discussing. The movie is a science fiction film (it should be so decided), a science fiction film without any special effects. After watching the movie, you will overturn many familiar theories and have a deeper understanding of science fiction.
A person who has lived for more than 10,000 years is telling history, listening to people sighing and pondering, the content of the movie is impressive, it can be said that this is one of the best feature films Suda has ever seen!
Everyone has seen the crazy stone, and everyone has seen his success, if Chinese films use small investment to get big returns, then Chinese films are on the right path and can be saved. On the other hand, the current Chinese movies, big-name stars, big-name directors, huge investment, and spurned content.
As a result, the box office is quite high, isn't it a contradiction? Why?
Reason 1: There are only a few foreign films introduced every year, and they are all blockbusters, where to watch feature films, watching feature films are also played by bad stars.
Reason 2: You said that since foreign movies are good, they all went to the Internet to watch them, why do you have to go to the cinema to watch garbage movies, because our eggs hurt. Movies are a form of leisure, they are a kind of entertainment, expensive entertainment, we can watch movies in front of the computer by ourselves, and it is not surprising that if you go to the cinema to watch a movie by yourself, it will feel like an alternative.
Reason 3: Just because he is a kind of entertainment, couples, friends, and family are willing to go together, for simple entertainment, not out of love for movies, but now the theme of every promotion by mainland entertainment companies is always inseparable from patriotism, it seems that if you don't support local movies, you are selling the country, resulting in some high-cost investment movies, can get high box office, look at "Wuji" is an example!
However, according to the current point of view of Huaxia films, the prospects are actually quite good, everyone is willing to take money to engage in special effects, which is still helpful for the development of Huaxia films in the future, but you can't get Hollywood no matter how we get special effects, this is certain, so we hold a big investment, special effects, and big scenes, it's not wrong, but we forget, before doing this, you have to tell the story well, a movie, whether it's a commercial blockbuster of the popcorn genre, or a literary film with depth, at least it has a story, right, You have to make everyone understand, just who is the movie you know for?
The reason why Suda remembers this movie so clearly is mainly because his investment is very, very small, and the rate of return is ridiculously high.
"This Man is from Earth" has no cheating actors, the salary is not much, it is not a salary, and other investments add up to only 1W dollars. The box office is not fully counted at 350 million US dollars, and there is only one log cabin for the whole movie, and all the actors are in the cabin, plus less than ten extras, three or two cars, and a motorcycle. That's all.
With a box office income of 1:35,000, it is definitely one of the low-cost and high-return god films!
This is still not counting the income of "This Man from Earth" in VCD discs, you must know that this movie is only released in the United States, Mexico, Argentina, Hungary, and Germany, and other countries have not been released at all, so it is conceivable that the profit of this movie is not only the box office, but also a very large income in terms of VCD discs, and it may even exceed the box office revenue!
Of course, all this is Su Da's speculation, Su Da didn't think of "This Man is from Earth", this movie is obviously only suitable for Western countries, if you want to be released in China, Su Daxuan was naturally borrowed by some authors in his previous life The idea of this movie was replaced by a story about immortality in the Eastern country!
