Chapter 209 may be the biggest loser
"Big boss, please tell me in detail about the content of your movie script, you must be very clear, the synopsis of the script is never important, what matters is only its content."
Under Chen Mo's gaze, Yan's mother said.
It can be seen that Yan's mother is worthy of being a gold medal agent, and she also sees the essence of the movie very thoroughly.
The storyline is a confusing brain-burning movie, after all, it is only a very small part of the movie, and the plot synopsis of most genre films is very simple.
Horror movie, watch me scare you with horror sounds, plasma, and eyes! Scare you! It's you who can't be scared to death!
Romance films, I love you, you love him, he loves her, she loves me.
Hero film, hero pia flying bad silver to save the world! Heroes are flying bad silver again to save the world! At most, it will become an Avatar to be an unfaithful and unfilial traitor, and the relatives and enemies will quickly save the alien world.
The other genres are similar, and they are all traceable, otherwise there would be no genre films, right?
But in the hands of different script creators, even if a good screenwriter is in a bad genre film, he can still make up a classic script, on the contrary, even if it is a new genre film that no one has ever set foot in, nine out of ten will be a bad movie if he finds a bad screenwriter to make it.
Because she understands this truth, Yan's mother will ask to listen to Chen Mo talk about the specific content of the movie script.
almost thought, and Feng Zhinan.
In fact, Feng Zhinan doesn't watch many movies, and she doesn't waste so much time watching movies, but this does not prevent her from understanding the essence of movies.
"The name of this script is called "This Man is from Earth." The general plot is that a 35-year-old university professor is about to quit his job, so several of his professor friends come to see him off. Then, after some heartfelt conversations at this parting time, the professors were surprised to discover their colleague. It's a -- an ancient human who has survived for more than 10,000 years! Therefore, in order to prove that what he said was false, the learned professors tried to refute their colleague from the aspects of astronomy and geography, history and humanities, religion and philosophy, which they were good at, but unfortunately the final result was that all their arguments were meaningless, and this colleague of theirs seemed to really have survived the magical existence of time. But then the professor said that everything he had said before was a parting joke......"
Chen Mo stopped selling Guanzi. He soon told the name of the script he had chosen, as well as a more detailed synopsis, and also deliberately told some of the conversations in the movie according to the original plot of the movie.
"It seems to be a very thought-provoking script, and perhaps those who are more pacifist and interested in the occult and science fiction will enjoy this movie. However, I want to use it to attract audiences who like intense plots and have a special insistence on perfect logic. It's impossible. Ah, the most important thing is...... This movie doesn't seem to cost much to shoot at all, and it seems that it only needs 100,000 yuan at most? β
After listening carefully to the content of Chen Mo's script, Yan's mother reminisced about the content of the script. Finally commented.
"Mother Yan, you forgot to calculate your salary."
Chen Mo reminded very kindly.
That's right, in the world before Chen Mo crossed over. "This Man is from Earth" seems to have cost only $10,000 to shoot, and then counting the DVD sales data, it has earned at least hundreds of millions of dollars.
Well. This is actually not very clear to Chen Mo, in fact, there is still a saying about the input and output of "This Man is from the Earth". Chen's budget is about $200,000, and the global revenue is a staggering $350 million.
But no matter which statement is adopted, the input-output ratio of this small-budget film can easily be ranked at the forefront of small-budget and high-yield films.
But Chen Mo seems to have no way to make the shooting cost so small as $10,000, and even the $100,000 that Yan's mother said is probably not enough.
After all, this is not a National Day gift film, how can those big-name actresses and actresses under Yan's mother not want to be paid?
"Salary?" Yan's mother smiled a little charmingly: "My big boss, according to the plot you tell, this movie script can basically be filmed within two or three days, everyone is considered to be leisure and entertainment, where do you need to pay for it?" β
In Yan's mother's opinion, Chen Mo, the big boss, specially "created" this movie script, so how could she not return the favor?
It takes two or three days to complete the film, and it can be easily completed while sitting, and it is very simple, without the children needing blood, sweat and betrayal of their hue, where do you need a salary? The right is a cameo in friendship!
"That's not good." Chen Mo didn't agree with Yan's mother, he also had his own ideas: "Then let's go Yan's mother, let's use the sharing model!" β
As we all know, when an actor participates in a movie, there is actually not much difference between getting paid and being a director - most of the time he gets a fixed salary, and when the box office of the movie exceeds expectations, he may still get a big red envelope, and only a small part of the time he can get a share of the salary with the actor.
Of course, sometimes even if the actors are left to choose by themselves, most of the actors will still choose to get a fixed salary, after all, before the official release of the movie, no one can say what the box office of the movie will be.
If the box office hits the street when it is released, and the shooting cost cannot be recovered, what is the use of the actor even if the promised share ratio is high?
"Divided?" Yan's mother thought about it, and finally relieved after hesitating: "Okay, you are the big boss, you say that if you share, then divide it." β
Although I feel that the script of "This Man is from Earth" feels pretty good, such a science fiction film that does not have the elements of "metal plus laser" that normal science fiction films must have is still not so optimistic.
Tracing back to the source, this script is just a "fireside night chat" after all, and it doesn't even appear in the outdoor scene a few times.
It's not that this kind of film with limited scenes can't be filmed, for example, those murder house horror movies are actually in this form, and most of the stories take place in a murder house where you can't get out of it.
But the murder house horror movie is trying its best to stimulate people's vision and psychology. Is the tension of watching the movie comparable to "This Man is from Earth"?
Therefore, Yan Ma is really not very optimistic about the box office of the movie.
But. Since the script itself is not bad, let your own actors and actresses co-star. Because the production cost of the film is very small, it must be able to win some box office.
So what about taking a share...... It's a red envelope from the new boss to the children.
Yan's mother thinks so.
So this thing is done, after making an appointment to get the official script, everyone should do what they should do.
However, before parting, Qiu Dalin asked the last question out of curiosity: "Mother Yan, isn't this the private garden of the Xia family of the royal family, and the mausoleum of the exotic princess of the ancestors, how could you be allowed to meet us here?"
Yan's mother smiled and gave the answer: "I can come and go freely here." Probably because of serious calculations, my husband is the uncle of the current patriarch of the Xia family. β
"Uncle of the current patriarch of the Xia family? Hiss-"
Qiu Dalin gasped.
This current patriarch of the Xia family is not the current "His Majesty the Emperor" of the Xia family of the imperial family? So the uncle of the current patriarch of the Xia family, isn't it translated as ...... Uncle Huang?!
Although a hundred years have passed, the royal Xia family has long ceased to be the king of the world, but the Qiu family said that it was also a vassal who shared the same weal and woe with the country back then, and Qiu Dalin has always been quite proud of his identity as a descendant of the nobles of the previous dynasty, and now he is really surprised when he hears such news.
After this surprise, Qiu Dalin immediately resolutely abandoned his little black brother. With burning eyes, Yan Ma popped out and said: "Yan Ma, kneel and beg to sign me as your artist!" β
"Okay, okay, don't make this embarrassing, Chen Mo, why don't you drag this guy away quickly!"
Feng Zhinan couldn't stand it anymore. She felt that Qiu Dalin had simply thrown people to her grandmother's house.
Under normal circumstances, it is the artists who choose their own agents, but how can Yan's mother be in a normal situation. Is this situation a good answer?
Anyway, Feng Zhinan firmly believes that Qiu Dalin's serious identity is a playboy. And it is by no means an artist who works hard to improve.
Chen Mo dragged Qiu Dalin away with a smile, and Qiu Dalin, who was kneeling and begging, did not resist. Let Chen Mo pull him away.
"Quite an interesting kid."
When Yan Ma withdrew her eyes, she whispered to herself, but no one knew whether she was talking about Qiu Dalin or Chen Mo.
β¦β¦
Night finally fell, and after a welcome reception with strong social meaning, Chen Mo, who hid in the corner and put on an idler's face to avoid poker, felt a little disturbed, and once again walked the red carpet, the film festival finally reached the most important awards party.
Chen Mo and Ji Yanran, who still haven't walked the red carpet, and Qiu Dalin, the version of "Blood Robe and Jinyiwei", were mixed in the middle of the crew of "Love in Honolulu" and sat quite at the front of the film festival awards hall.
is not in the first row, and those who are arranged in the first row are either big-name directors, or top actors and a few rich people in the entertainment industry who are famous.
Now Chen Mo and others, before they win the film festival award, no one will arrange their seats in the first row with the highest exposure.
When everyone is in place, the festival awards gala officially begins.
But looking at the two hosts who walked on the stage, Chen Mo couldn't help but smile, they were actually two acquaintances-
The hostess in a purple deep V-neck palace dress is Li Ruyi, who has already had several faces.
The male host in a suit and leather shoes is also one of the special guests of "The Masked God of Songs", and it is Bai Wenle.
This made Chen Mo feel that the circle of the entertainment industry is really big and big, and small and small.
So under Chen Mo's gaze, the host of the party partnered by Li Ruyi and Bai Wenle successfully used a piece of teasing and moderate scale to talk and laugh to set up the atmosphere of the scene.
Bai Wenle showed another rap rap that was quite popular because of Chen Mo, and skewered more than 30 films shortlisted for various awards at this film festival and laughed all over the audience.
Then, it was finally time for the official mystery to be revealed.
The first award to be presented was the "Lifetime Achievement Award", which is not awarded every year, and the winner was the eighty-four-year-old filmmaker Min Ye.
The old man who is over eighty years old debuted as a child star at the age of seven, and by the time he retired at the age of sixty-eight, he had won almost all the awards except those awards that only female filmmakers could get. The rest is almost all kinds of film awards.
Now, add this Lifetime Achievement Award. It's finally alive.
When the old man trembled and came to the stage to accept the award in person, the audience responded with thunderous applause.
Then. It is the award of several small awards, such as the Best Animation Award and the Best Documentary Award.
Of course, the excited winners who came to the stage to accept the award obviously did not think that they were winning a small award, and they continued to create jokes because of the interaction between the special award presenters.
After several small awards were exploded, it finally arrived at the Best Chinese Feature Film Award, one of the major awards, and among the four films nominated for this award, "Love in Honolulu" was suddenly listed.
"So, the winner of the Best Chinese Feature Film award isβ"
The host Bai Wenle, who announced the final results. It is customary to sell off, because the person who announced the final winner of this award was not him, but the guest who was specially invited to the stage.
As the assistant director of "Love in Honolulu", Zhou Renliang is really a little bad at this time, and the whole person is nervous like a tight bowstring, Chen Mo is worried about whether he will have a heart attack.
"The winner of the Best Discourse Feature Film Award is "The Lonely Ship in the Angry Sea"!"
It's a pity that the title of the film that was finally reported by the award presenters was not "Love in Honolulu", but the crew of "Lonely Ship in the Angry Sea" not far from them.
This honor. The crew of "Lonely Ship in the Angry Sea" broke out into a burst of violent cheers, and the director of "Lonely Ship in the Angry Sea", who was full of red cheers in the cheers of everyone, stumbled onto the stage and received the trophy that belonged to him.
Then. "Honolulu Love" missed the Best Actor and Actress award again, and it was not until the Best Supporting Actress award that it finally did not become the biggest loser of this film festival and successfully won the Best Supporting Actress award.
The supporting actress in the movie named Zhao Yanzi. In the slightly envious and jealous eyes of the hero and heroine of the movie, she took the stage to receive the golden trophy that belonged to her. With this award in her body, she will take over film and television dramas and advertisements in the future, and the remuneration will be raised a lot.
And after the Supporting Actor and Actress awards. is the award for Best Screenplay, Best Cinematography and Best Director, and among the three awards, "Love in Honolulu", which was also nominated, once again passed by the awards.
This situation made the emotions tense again and again, but Zhou Renliang, who was lost again and again, finally breathed a long sigh of relief.
It's okay, I didn't get the award, and I finally don't have to worry about the ups and downs.
There are also nominated awards, and the glory will go to Chen Mo's "Best Film Music Award", although Chen Mo is now the boss of Zhou Renliang, but let Zhou Renliang also raise his throat for this award, it is really impossible for some concubines to do it.
So, who won the award for Best Film Music? Not...... Mr. Liu, Mr. Liu, can you let me take a peek first? Just one glance! β
On the stage, Li Ruyi, who was responsible for interacting with the award guests, said coquettishly to the special award presenter "Teacher Liu".
"It seems like Ruyi, you seem to care about this award? Let's take a look first...... It's not impossible, but what's in it for me? After all, this is a matter of public anger, Miss Ruyi. β
The pot-bellied teacher Liu, after tearing open the award envelope and glancing at the contents on the cardboard inside, said to Li Ruyi with a smile or a fascination.
"Mr. Liu, you are highly respected, and you have always been known for caring for the younger generations, how can you ask for benefits in public? Isn't that right? Li Ruyi first put on a high hat for Mr. Liu, and turned to the audience, pretending to be pitiful in exchange for a warm response, and then continued to sell cute: "Okay, Mr. Liu, you see that everyone is saying that what I said is right, so let me take a look-"
Teacher Liu obviously liked this set, and he finally showed Li Ruyi the cardboard with the content of the winners.
"Well, what a disappointment! It's not my favorite movie......" After reading the cardboard, Li Ruyi immediately made a depressed and sad appearance, she even covered her eyes and turned to the side and urged: "Teacher Liu, please announce the result quickly, if you don't announce it, my heart will be broken." β
"Impossible! Little black brother, this is impossible! Among these four movies, it is obviously your song that is the best and the best, how can it be someone else who won the award?! Damn, thisβthis is definitely a dark box operation! It's shady! β
In the audience, before Li Ruyi's words were finished, Qiu Dalin was the first to express that Liangchen was not convinced, he really felt that Chen Mo should win this award, although the music of several other movies was not bad, but it also depends on who he compares with!
"That's it, fake uncle, although you are a bad person, but the songs and background music for "Honolulu Love" are unexpectedly good, and the good instruments you sing are also very good, since you have been nominated, it is too strange not to win the award, is there really a shady scene? Well, it's so dark in this world, it's terrible! So I'd better stay at home and play electric......"
Ji Yanran also said, Ji Yanran is reluctant to sing now, but her music appreciation ability is still there.
It's just that in the first half of the paragraph, she was still complaining about Chen Mo, but when she said that, Ji Yanran crooked the building by herself, and it was logical to give her her current half-house girl life
"What are you talking nonsense, how can there be so many shady scenes? Well, all be quiet and listen to the results first. β
Although he also came with great hopes, but now that he didn't win the award, Chen Mo didn't have too much negative emotions, after all, this type of award was artificially selected, no matter how fair it was, it was more or less personal, and it was normal for anyone to laugh until the end.
"Hehe, the winner of the Best Music Award at this film festival is, ...... "Ke, Ke ......"
Mr. Liu, who was on the stage, was indeed already announcing the final winner, but at this critical moment he suddenly stammered.
Axe handle?
Is it the "Little Red House" adapted from a horror fairy tale that is not suitable for children, and the music has a metallic musical feel?
Chen Mo, whose head was still tilted in the direction of Qiu Dalin instead of the direction of the stage, thought so. (To be continued......)
