Chapter 458: To Each His Own Place
Seeing these directors thoughtful one by one, Liu Yufan was not in a hurry to disturb them. The reason why he arranged it this way and provided them with the films they were best at shooting, instead of giving them Hollywood big productions when they came up, was that he had a thought in his heart.
These directors are all first-class in China, and the level of filming movies one by one has nothing to say. But it is precisely because of this that these people also have some distinctive characteristics. Some are good at shooting big productions, some are good at shooting local culture, some are good at being funny, and some are good at playing. Therefore, although Liu Yufan is a reborn person who is coaxed by cowhide, he can't rely on his own strength to knead them quite round and pinch them according to his own ideas.
The reason is very simple, can you expect Jackie Chan to say cross talk? Apparently impossible. For them, the same is true.
These directors are obviously smart people. Even if Liu Yufan didn't finish speaking, they all understood what he meant. In addition, after reading these scripts just now, there were a few more shocks in their eyes when they looked at Liu Yufan one by one.
It is great to be able to write a script as big as "Pirates of the Caribbean", but today's Liu Yufan's hand is even more powerful, it can be said that it shocked several of them, and even, when they looked at Liu Yufan, they looked at Liu Yufan as if they were looking at a god and a ghost rather than a normal person.
It's not because of how good the books in their hands are, they can surpass "Pirates of the Caribbean", in fact, although these books are not bad, but compared to "Pirates of the Caribbean", they are still one level behind.
But. These books are too much to their appetite, so they only read it once, and they quickly decided it. This is the movie I want to make. That's right, for these directors, to be more famous and more money. It's really tempting, but compared to this, it's undoubtedly more important to make a movie that you really like. At their level, they all have some spiritual pursuits.
The first to react was Feng Dagang, he raised the script in his hand, and then arched his hand towards Liu Yufan and said: "Mr. Liu, I have been making movies with cannons for more than ten years. The screenwriter has seen a lot of things, and he really hasn't served anyone. But when I see you today, I can be regarded as seeing the true God. Gotcha, don't talk about any blockbusters, just this book, it's a good book that I've been making movies for so many years, and it's rare to see a good book. Get. I don't look at your big productions anymore.,This book is pretty good.。 What I didn't say, the previous share, and do what you said, nothing to say. You're a friend, I've made it! Feng Dagang said, put the notebook in his hand on the table, took the lead in picking up the contract that Li Xin handed him before, and signed it with a few strokes.
With Feng Dagang taking the lead, other directors also followed suit, and many of them signed. Looking at the dozen or so contracts piled up in front of him, Liu Yufan's heart was also a little excited. These are all red tickets. Don't look at these people, these films can't be compared with Lao Mouzi's "Pirates of the Caribbean", but no matter how thin the mosquito's legs are, they are still meat. Not to mention, the scripts he just gave them were all the best-selling books they made in the next few years, even if they can't compare to the box office of "Pirates of the Caribbean" of nearly one billion, but there is no problem at all if it breaks 100 million. Taken together, these books are also some considerable income.
As for the big Hollywood productions in their hands? Liu Yufan already had other plans in his heart, but he was not ready to give them these people to get it. After all, there is only one Lao Mouzi in China, and Liu Yufan doesn't think that these people have the same big money as Lao Mouzi. If these good books are given to them, but they waste their books because of their limited level or reluctance to invest, then it is called injustice.
Among all the people in it, only one person did not sign the previous contract, but continued to look at Liu Yufan with some expectation. Looking at the stack of thick notebooks in front of him, the bearded director was also emotional. This screenwriter can be regarded as the best screenwriter in China. He has been making movies and TV series for so long, and he has never seen a screenwriter who can force these directors to this role. In his opinion, these contracts can be regarded as more breath-holding than the "Treaty of Shimonoseki".
…,
However, he did not deny that this young man did have unpredictable talents. If nothing else, let's just say that the script he gave himself just now, just after reading a few pages, he knew that this book was going to be decided by himself. It's just that, unlike others, his heart is far more than that.
"Mr. Liu, I read the book, seriously, it's very good. However, I still want to ask if you have a similar big book like "Pirates of the Caribbean" in your hand. The bearded man looked at Liu Yufan and asked with a smile, with an unavoidable gaze in his eyes, obviously telling Liu Yufan, "I understood what you just said, but I still want to take a look at the good goods in your hand." ”
Looking at this bearded director, Liu Yufan was stunned, but he didn't expect him to jump out.
Before, he thought that he could fight with Lao Mouzi, it must be the "cannon" Brother Gang, but he didn't expect Brother Gang to be satisfied when he saw his book "No Thieves in the World". But it was Director Zhang, who he hadn't expected before, who showed interest in the big book in his hand.
This bearded director Zhang, Liu Yufan impressed him the most not the movies he made, but the TV series. A "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", a "Dragon Babu", and a "Smiling Proud Jianghu", this old man seems to be addicted to making Jin Daxia's films, but the filming is still very complaining, especially the level of his choice of the protagonist, which is really speechless. is like the Brother Jing in his "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", but a large number of netizens really fell down, and they reminded him on the Internet, "Director Zhang, Brother Jing is honest, not a fool." ”
But if you think about it, in addition to this problem, the movies that this director seems to have made are really similar to Lao Mouzi.
"Do you want him to try it?" Looking at Director Zhang, who was sitting not far from him, staring at him with a pair of small eyes, and seemed to be looking at him with great interest, Liu Yufan thought to himself. 、
"Forget it, you might as well make a film for him." Liu Yufan quickly passed those videos in his heart, and he quickly had a plan in his heart. There's really a series right now, so he can try it.
"Hehe, Director Zhang, don't say it, I really wrote a bit of a Hollywood-style book some time ago, but I just didn't bring it with me today, if you are interested, how about coming to my company tomorrow, let's discuss it together." Of course,I'm still the same sentence.,Shoot this kind of book,I have requirements for production.,If it's a small-cost and small-input production,That's embarrassing.,I won't put a book.。 Of course, if the other people are interesting, they can also come to our company, and I will definitely treat them as peers. Liu Yufan said to them with a smile.
These directors were a little envious of Director Zhang at first, but after listening to Liu Yufan's words, they thought of what he and his people had said before, and their hearts calmed down again. This was originally a matter of being willing to fight and be willing to suffer. It's good to be as famous as Lao Mouzi, but the cost of that big gamble is not something that any of them can afford. With an investment of hundreds of millions, even if their net worth is not low, it is a big deal. In contrast, these books they just signed, but they don't have these requirements, and they have a very good bottom in their hearts, these are good books, and they don't have to worry about making money when they shoot them, so why take that risk? You know, you can't make enough money.
Everyone got what they needed, and the next show was much more lively. In addition to the veil of mystery in front of outsiders, these directors are all quite casual people in private, calling Liu Yufan brother and brother, drinking wine and eating meat, but also happy.
After tossing for more than an hour, everyone dispersed satisfied.
Liu Yufan and Li Xin finally walked out of the room, and were just about to leave, but they saw a man in a suit walking towards them with a satisfied smile. Although this person's brand-name suit is worth a lot of money, from his body, there is a temperament completely different from the civilized temperament revealed by the suit, which is a cold-blooded and fierce feeling, and there is also a cunning. Although Liu Yufan doesn't know how to learn, he still knows a little bit about the art of watching people, and he feels that this person is not a kind person at the moment.
…,
The other party talked to him very enthusiastically, and after saying a few words, Liu Yufan understood that this person was the owner of this bar. After the man pulled him and said something that was not nutritious, he also gave him a silver membership card, saying that all purchases with the card would be 20% off.
Although Liu Yufan's first impression of this guy is not too good, after all, people are interested in making friends. Moreover, after chatting just now, Liu Yufan also somewhat understood, it is estimated that the other party saw that he and these big directors could get in, and he was curious about his identity, so he stepped forward to stammer and inquire.
After figuring out the ins and outs, Liu Yufan honestly and unceremoniously put away the card, after today's scene, Liu Yufan found that he really needed such a private place to talk about things. It's just someone else's, and it's better if it's your own.
Today's harvest is full, and the more than ten contracts signed, Liu Yufan conservatively estimates that he will have to earn hundreds of millions of dollars, and it is not too difficult to make money.
Early the next morning, Director Zhang Da came to the door on time according to the time Liu Yufan said.
Liu Yufan didn't go around the bend with him, and immediately gave him the book of "Chainsaw 1". Liu Yufan is quite impressed by this series, and as long as this film is conceived, it is not impossible to shoot it with Chinese actors. Because of this, Liu Yufan is ready to test the water with this notebook. Unexpectedly, after Director Zhang read the book, he was full of praise, and hurriedly signed a contract with Liu Yufan like a treasure.
After solving this matter, Liu Yufan began to prepare for the "Liszt Cup", after the New Year, it has been nearly March, and unconsciously, the game is getting closer and closer.
