Chapter 37: Open the Door

After a period of preparation, "The Best Partner: The Queen's Secret" officially started filming and held a grand opening ceremony, and as the screenwriter of this drama, he was naturally invited to participate in the opening ceremony.

"Brother Fu, our company should hurry up and start filming the first film." After Li Yihua returned from the launching ceremony of "The Best Partner: The Queen's Secret Order", he discussed with Fu Baorong.

"Andy, are you in a hurry, the company has just been prepared, and everything has not entered the normal procedure." Fu Baorong bluntly explained the company's difficulties.

"I know the company's difficulties, but it's really time urgent, Brother Hong, Xinyicheng, Shaw Brothers and others have all started filming, and we have to release the film before they can survive in the cracks between them." Li Yihua knew the company's difficulties, but the situation forced him to tell Brother Fu about the stakes.

"But our company lacks everything, the script, the director, the shooting equipment, the most important part, how can we shoot a movie?" Fu Baorong thought about the stakes and couldn't do anything.

"You can borrow the shooting equipment from Brother Hong, I have already written the script, this is our company's first play, how about you take a look?" Li Yihua handed the prepared script to Fu Baorong.

Fu Baorong took the script, and it took about an hour to break the silence of the space, "The script is not bad, even I, a layman, can't help laughing when I read it, let alone the movie!" The key is that our company does not have a director yet, how to shoot? ”

"In the eyes of others, this is just a script, but in my mind, it is a movie, all the scenes, shots, character performances, and plot environments have been formed, and I can use the shortest time and the most effective method to efficiently combine all the elements needed for this movie, so that the effect is the best." Li Yihua's performance time has come, and he is full of confidence.

Li Yihua saw Fu Baorong's face in disbelief, so he had to vividly describe the script in words, and danced to the excitement.

Fu Baorong looked at Li Yihua's vivid description, and he was sure that Li Yihua would definitely be able to make this movie well, because in the process of telling just now, Li Yihua had completely "filmed" the script, and after glancing at Li Yihua, Fu Baorong said uneasily, "But you only have one chance to be an assistant director, how can you make a good movie?" ”

"A lot of the time experience just represents experience, not enough experience doesn't mean I can't do things well, I think I have the talent for this." Li Yihua said solemnly, his expression more sacred than ever.

"Andy, have you made a budget? How much investment did it take to make this film? Fu Baorong's businessman's temperament at this time was undoubtedly revealed.

"Brother Fu, this thing should be done by you, I'm not very good at this kind of thing, only if you make a budget, can it be compressed to the minimum." Li Yihua looked at Fu Baorong with a smile on his face, and the meaning was very obvious that he was in charge.

Fu Baorong pointed at Li Yihua with his finger, and then buried his head in the calculation, "A total of 700,000 Hong Kong dollars." Fu Baorong handed the budget for the production of the film to Li Yihua.

Li Yihua glanced at it, and from the detailed list, he could feel Fu Baorong's intentions, and he really met a talent this time.

"Nightclub" is a grassroots movie, and one of the most important elements of its success is that it cleverly creates a lot of coincidences, and makes full use of these coincidences to develop the plot step by step. In the process of plot development, one by one, the ordinary scenes are familiar, which makes people laugh.

"Brother Fu, he is really a talent, and he has made such a fine budget in such a short time." Li Yihua looked at the fine budget in front of him and praised loudly.

"By the way, Andy, you keep saying that this movie will be produced and filmed by you, and it will definitely be successful, where is its success point?" Fu Baorong looked at the confident Li Yihua and teased.

"First of all, the setting of the storyline and the design of the relationship between the characters, Brother Fu, you also felt it when you listened to me talk about the script just now, although the whole story is a bit absurd, but it is complete, meticulous, interlocking, ups and downs, and many plots can make people scream; Secondly, this movie is actually a focus on the grassroots survival reality of small people, and I have commented on many details, to do this, I think the subtle irony and reasonable exaggeration of real society in the film can fascinate the audience; Li Yihua took a sip of tea and continued, "Another point, and the most important point, many commercial entertainment films often pursue entertainment effects through beautiful pictures, and invest huge manpower and material resources in landscape shooting, scene construction, props manufacturing, art design, etc., but I will not do this, I will only use some postmodern comedy shooting techniques, combined with the comedy techniques and atmosphere of local traditional culture, and through the parody of classic and popular film and television songs in life to complete thorough mass entertainment, To put it bluntly, this is also to save costs, in this case, if the film can be filmed successfully, it will definitely become a small investment, high return box office dark horse. ”

"Well," Fu Baorong interjected, "I also think that if this movie is made, if it is successful, the return on investment will be very high, and this is the key." ”

Li Yihua looked at Fu Baorong and saw him with a confident smile, only to know that he had already had a plan from the first time he told him the script, and he never told himself, which was really surprising enough.

"Oh, Brother Fu, it turns out that you agreed to shoot from the beginning, and you fooled me by making so many of them." Li Yihua looked at Fu Baorong, who was snickering on the side, and knew that he had fallen for this "annihilation businessman".

"As a businessman, I should inquire about every detail before I can make further investments." Fu Baorong showed a look of a wealth fan again.

"Hearing your words, I feel more relieved to hand over the company to you." Li Yihua heard Fu Baorong's appearance of scheming for a dime, as well as the greed for money that appeared at any time, and he was even more convinced that he had found the right person.

"Andy, how much should we invest in making this movie?" Fu Baorong knocked on the table and thought seriously.

"Brother Fu, I think this movie is the company's first film after all, we must do a good job and make the company famous, so I plan to invest one million to make this movie, and the other million as the company's operating capital. Li Yihua said what he thought was insurance.

Fu Baorong nodded, very much approved of Li Yihua's approach, after some investigation, he found that the entertainment industry needs fame to gain a foothold. Otherwise, you can't go on at all.
