Chapter 52: Independent Production

Zhong Chuhong did not hesitate, stretched out his hand and took the script of "The True Color of Heroes" and said in surprise: "The script you wrote? Rejected? ”

"Yes, I wrote it! But not rejected. Speaking of this, Lu Yan gritted his teeth and said: "I want to make this drama by myself, and they obviously don't agree with me as a newcomer." ”

Zhong Chuhong nodded as if she didn't understand, she naturally heard about some things in the new art city.

"So you're frustrated. And then walk around alone in the rain? Zhong Chuhong looked at Lu Yan with blazing eyes, bit his lip and said, "Actually, even if Xinyicheng doesn't shoot, if the script is good, you can find other production companies!" ”

Suddenly, Zhong Chuhong flipped through the script and asked, "Can I take a look?" ”

During this period, it was actually taboo to rashly ask to read the script. Because of the battle between several film production companies, if the script is leaked, it is easy to be snatched up to make a similar type of movie. Even if he is a small production and shoddy, it is basically a fiasco for you to launch another movie of the same type when the plot is similar.

For Zhong Chuhong, of course Lu Yan nodded and said, "It's okay!" ”

As for Xinyicheng, he is even more relieved. Even if he takes the script and invests in other film production companies, those giants will not take such a script seriously. As they say, there are many good scripts. The key is to see who will shoot it.

A good director can give a movie the most core soul.

Zhong Chuhong smiled sweetly at Lu Yan, and then carefully flipped through the script. Of course, the cast list was also mixed in, and she just covered her mouth in surprise when she saw it. But I didn't say anything, but read the script seriously.

But when she put down the script, her eyes looking at Lu Yan were already quite complicated. There are curiosity, there are doubts, there are amazements.

How many scripts she has read as an actress. I have taken over many films and rejected many films.

And Lu Yan's script called "The True Color of Heroes" really made her feel a little amazing! However, she also somewhat understood why Xinyicheng would refuse, and a large part of the resistance was because of the cast.

That kind of character combination is really smacking!

"The script is very well written! It's a pity that there is no heroine in it at all, just a supporting actress, and there are still few scenes. Zhong Chuhong smiled playfully, she naturally understood that it was actually a very unwise choice for such a hot-blooded brother movie to rashly mix emotional scenes.

For the script, Lu Yan has always been full of confidence. And although Xinyicheng refused, they did praise the script. Inexplicably, Lu Yan said with some hesitation: "I think you also read the cast list just now, don't you think it's ridiculous?" The reason why it is like this is that the cast is indeed a big reason. But, I think they're perfectly capable of creating these images! ”

I don't know for what reason, Zhong Chuhong seemed to be infected by Lu Yan's sudden burst of self-confidence. She looked at Lu Yan, who was suddenly full of confidence in her eyes, and involuntarily nodded, "I believe you will succeed." ”

"But in fact, it didn't work out. I can probably guess that if I went to other film production companies, the ending would be similar to today. In terms of actors, they will definitely be overthrown, and it is even more impossible to invest fifteen million to hand over such a movie to a newcomer like me to shoot. Lu Yan's eyes began to be a little lonely, and his tone was also lifeless.

In fact, Lu Yan himself may not understand that when a frustrated person says this, it is quite contagious. When you focus on one thing, your image is always the most distinct.

It's like the current Zhong Chuhong, who actually began to feel a little distressed about Lu Yan. But what surprised her even more was the financial problem that Lu Yan said.

"Fifteen million? It's really hard. Zhong Chuhong blinked, and actually began to analyze Lu Yan and said, "And with your cast, there is basically no appeal." Yes, I'm afraid that only Rong is less! But his role is too much, too much to lose his image. If you don't do it, it will disgust the fans! I doubt that Rong Shao will take on this role! ”

Regarding this, Lu Yan was very confident and said: "I believe that as long as he reads the script, he will definitely accept it!" Moreover, I believe that I will definitely be able to convince Leslie Cheung! ”

"Even if you convince Rong Shao, you won't be able to make this movie. As you said earlier, Hong Kong can't find a film production company willing to take on this script. Xinyicheng refused, and Golden Harvest now has Jackie Chan and them in the battle. As for Shaw Brothers, it's even more impossible! Even if some investors are willing to pay for Leslie Cheung, what will you shoot? Zhong Chuhong's words directly smashed the only luck left in Lu Yan's heart.

"Is it really that hard for me to make my own movie?" Lu Yan sat on the bed like this and muttered to himself.

"Actually, you can think about starting your own film production company! It's a big deal, pull a few people into the gang together! Zhong Chuhong thought about it, and immediately cheered up Lu Yan again: "There are so many such film production companies now!" As long as you can get investors, you can shoot it yourself! ”

Zhong Chuhong's words suddenly made Lu Yan's eyes light up.

It was only at this moment that he found himself at a dead end.

That's right! Why do you have to find other film companies, you can be a reading producer!

It was precisely because of Zhong Chuhong's words that Lu Yan remembered a lot of things. In the current Hong Kong film industry, if a director has the ability to sell well, the outside film companies will take the money. You must know that they have to talk about dozens of films when they talk to Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest, and they have to pay a lot of money. The deposit is already quite a lot, and it must be expensive. So they're more than happy to find some reading producers.

As long as a Hong Kong director has filmed one or two blockbuster dramas, there will be a lot of phone calls, Taiwan will give you 1 million, pay first, send it to me after you finish filming, I will give you as much as I want, Singapore and Malaysia 700,000, and Hong Kong's cinema chain will come with another 2 million, and you can produce it when it is enough to shoot, and this film will always be yours.

Suddenly, Lu Yan shouted at Zhong Chuhong: "Aunt Hong, thank you so much!" If it weren't for you, I guess I'd been dying of frustration lately. ”

"What?" Regarding Lu Yan's sudden 'madness', Zhong Chuhong was also stunned and said: "Yan Zai, you don't really want to create a production company, do you?" ”

In fact, she was afraid that her words would hit Lu Yan too much, so she said that casually. In fact, it's not that hard to set up a film production company. However, Lu Yan has no achievements in the film industry at all. Where will there be any filmmakers willing to ask him to shoot and invest......
