In the conference room of Huayi Company, everyone's faces sank like water, and the friendly atmosphere of the previous negotiation disappeared, and when the two places cooperated to talk about the adaptation of the script, Shao Yingying and You Naihai were almost inseparable!

Shao Yingying was very surprised by the adaptation plan given by You Naihai, he not only deleted He Guohui's experience in the insurance company, but even deleted all the experiences He Guohui encountered with his gang members, these scenes occupied less than five minutes in the whole movie, but despite this, they were still deleted.

This is not over, You Naihai even changed the ending of the movie, he asked the insurance broker in the movie not to be caught by the police when he used the accident to kill He Guohui, but when the police came to arrest him, he laid out various traps and traps, a series of traps that should be accidents on weekdays beat the police to the ground, and in the end, the insurance broker was incognito. The reason given by You Naihai is that this ending is unreasonable, and it is impossible for a person who even He Guohui has to be calculated by him to be caught by the police.

Shao Yingying understands You Naihai's thoughts, because this looks more realistic, and when the ending appears, it will bring the audience a more shocking visual experience than the confession of the insurance agent during the interrogation after being arrested, but you can't let the killer who caused the accident win, this is a hard rule.

"The cooperation can't go on!"

When You Naihai repudiated the script again, You Naihai said this sentence angrily: "What is this? said that the script was handed over to us to adapt, but after the adaptation, you didn't recognize it, did you play tricks? ”

Wang Zhongjun looked at Shao Yingying in the conference room, this was not the time for him, an investor, to speak.

"Mr. You. I have made my thoughts very clear, the main positioning of this film should be on the mainland, not Xiangjiang. Galaxy suffered a loss in this regard in the last film "Big Guy". The box office of "Big Guy" in Xiangjiang is 28 million, and the total income of the whole drama is close to 60 million even the audio-visual products and overseas box office, but what about the mainland? The box office is only 8 million! Shao Yingying argued: "The reason is that the senior executives of the Galaxy sitting here are probably clear that "Big Guy" has been cut to pieces, and even the audience who walks into the theater can't understand it at all." ”

After sighing, Shao Yingying continued: "The review standards in the mainland are different from those in Xiangjiang, if you don't want the movie "Accident" to follow the path of "Big Guy", the script can't be changed as you say. ”

Du Qifeng watched Shao Yingying and You Naihai arguing. Turning his head to Wang Zhongjun, he asked, "What do you think?" ”

"I think ......" Wang Zhongjun groaned, "Xiao Shao is right. ”

Du Qifeng smiled, looked around, and said, "You are Shao Yingying's boss." Of course, support him, just like it is impossible for Fu Wenhuai not to support Cheng Long. I, too, have to support my people. ”

He leaned back in his chair and looked at Shao Yingying sharply. But it was said to Wang Zhongjun: "Xiangjiang's company knows it. The script of the galaxy is the best, why? Du Qifeng's gaze remained unchanged, and he reached out and patted You Naihai's shoulder and said, "He." ”

"Now you don't let me use the script changed by my people, then don't cooperate, you Huayi has no shortage of Du Qifeng, and Du Qifeng has no shortage of "Accident", if you can talk about it, let's do it together. If you can't talk about it, you can't talk about it. ”

The atmosphere froze. In November 2003, the major film companies in Xiangjiang just turned their attention to the mainland and began to take out films to test the waters in the mainland, at this time their main battlefield was still the Xiangjiang market that was about to collapse, because last year there was a "Infernal Affairs".

The popularity of "Infernal Affairs" has made many Hong Kong filmmakers begin to wonder whether the Hong Kong Film Market has been resurrected, or has entered the era of high-quality products instead, so that the concept that is changing is in a period of stagnation.

Sometimes it's not necessarily a good thing to save a building that is about to collapse, and it's not necessarily a good thing to slow down the collapsing Hong Kong Film Market.

And Huayi cares about the mainland market, they don't even care about the life and death of this movie in the Xiangjiang market, as long as the mainland market gives an answer that crosses the passing line, Wang Zhongjun has no problem. The investment of 20 million yuan and the contact with Xiangjiang filmmakers, Wang Zhongjun even made the decision just for Shao Yingying, because Shao Yingying wanted to come to the film market to play tickets, who asked Shao Yingying to help him control the domestic TV drama market?

Before the real conflict of ideas between the two parties broke out, they could still tolerate each other during the honeymoon period, but once the conflict appeared, the final outcome may not be far from collapse.

"Mr. Du, we are talking about scripts, we are talking about movies, I am talking about the number of jù for example, and what is in front of you is the box office. What do you mean? If you don't like to listen to a word, you will scatter it? Then we are not talking about business, but about the drama between children. ”

Shao Yingying no longer backs down, the world seen by the two sides is different, and there are some things that he can't understand at this moment, not to mention that he has backed down many times, such as the tough framework given by the other party, for example, most of the Xiangjiang artists that appear in the movie are familiar to Du Qifeng.

You Naihai pressed his elbow on the table and said, "Talking about the box office, right?" Then I might as well talk to you about "Gunfire", "Dark War", "Goodbye Ah Lang", and "Thin Man and Woman"! Zhong You, "Big Guy" is not invested by Galaxy, it is a Chinese national star! You Naihai threw up an index finger and said, "Inexplicable." ”

"Boss Wang, we don't care what you made this movie for, and we don't want to care, but if you want to make this movie have the style of Du's rhythm, you have to shoot it according to the script we want, not to mention that Ah Hai has not adapted a lot, but cut a beginning and changed a small part of the ending, and the overall plot is still Mr. Shao Yingying's." Luo Yongzhi was playing beside him.

This is clearly a strong argument, Shao Yingying is helpless, he said that "Big Guy" didn't want "Accident", a movie with a closely connected plot, to be rectified by the previous sentence, and changed the whole movie into a mess and deleted all the key scenes; For example, the big guy's poor box office in the mainland proves this, because no one can understand it. How did you get to Yu Nahaina, but instead pulled out things like "Gunfire" and "Dark War"? What does it matter?

"Inexplicable?" Shao Yingying glanced at Wang Zhongjun. Seeing that Wang Zhong didn't react, he said: "You take "Gunfire" to the mainland to try, you look at the random shooting on the street, and you can't see a single policeman; The scene of the underworld going to the restaurant to save the boss like a street closure is not cut, you can see if this drama can be played! Also "Dark War". A shot of your boss who is afraid of death in the dark war holding a fake bomb and being as timid as a mouse can make the whole drama fail the trial, believe it or not!! ”

Shao Yingying continued: "I respect that Xiangjiang Films is your own era created by you and has had glory, not your rigidity and unreasonableness. Who invested in "Big Guy" and what does it matter? This is just an example, I mean "Accident" should not become the same result as "Big Guy", just like that, you don't understand? Could it be that the Cantonese translator we are looking for is not Cantonese? Is it Arabic? ”

"Now, Mr. Shao, I also want to make it clear to you." Du Qifeng stood up: "Do you respect Xiangjiang Movies?" Do you respect it with a total investment of 20 million? Do you know how much the muscle suit on Liu Dehua in "Big Guy" is? Over a million! ”

"It's not like I don't know what you're talking about. Passed the trial, right? When I was filming "Big Guy" last year, dozens of people chattered behind me, saying that such a theme is likely to face a situation where it cannot be released in the mainland, and the final result is not to continue filming? Du Qifeng pointed to his head and said, "You want to find me to make a movie." What came out of it must have been what I wanted. Ah Hai's script is what I want, otherwise, you will shoot it. ”

"Zhong You, I have considered the mainland box office you mentioned, how about "Heroes of Heaven and Earth"? Is it a lot more than my movie? No, the box office of Xiangjiang is only a few hundred thousand. You think about the mainland, and I think about Xiangjiang. The movie with Du Qifeng's name can be at the bottom of the mainland, but it is in Xiangjiang. You have to be on the weekly leaderboard. ”

Shao Yingying looked at Du Qifeng's attitude, and said word by word: "You, what, what, meaning, thought?" ”

"It's very simple, shoot, just do what I say, don't shoot, whatever, it's not like we don't have no filming."

Liu Dehua said such a sentence after cooperating with Du Qifeng in "Blind Detective", he said that Director Du's temper has improved, and he will not be as bad as before, and even if he is not satisfied with the footage shot now, he will say, 'It's not bad, but it's better to do it again', he used to just say, 'Do it again, this is'.

Shao Yingying has learned how tough Du Qifeng, who has a very bad temper, when his ideas are different, he always thinks that if he lowers his eyebrows and is pleasing to the eyes, he can learn from the other party's experience, and learning is the most important thing, but now, he is on fire.

As he said, the Hong Kong movies he respects are the seriousness and persistence of the older generation, rather than the current rigidity and complacency.

"Mr. Du, do you think that without you, the movie "Accident" will not be made?"

"I didn't say that." Du Qifeng dragged the last word at the end and said: "I'm just saying, if you want Du's style, you have to hand over the power to us, and give us the movie to shoot." Also, if you want to be a Sir teacher, please show the box office to prove that you have enough value in the film market for us to respect. ”

"Otherwise, you come to the Xiangjiang Film Market to beat me, win me, I will listen to what you say, you say Du Qifeng, you go to eat, I will lie on the ground and wag my tail, I can't help it!"

Shao Yingying sat in the conference room, looked up at Du Qifeng, and said with firm eyes: "I'm afraid you will cry!" ”

Du Qifeng showed a bright smile at Shao Yingying, waved his hand and said, "Let's go, it's a waste of time to come to the mainland to talk for so long." ”

When people left, and only Shao Yingying was left in the conference room, the meeting that had been held for several days was considered a complete collapse, and Wang Zhongjun smiled helplessly at this time: "Now they are no longer the group of Xiangjiang filmmakers we are used to, except for arrogance." ”

"How, to make a movie or not to make a movie?"

"Shoot!" Shao Yingying is still very determined.

Wang Zhongjun didn't quite understand: "You don't really want to go to the Xiangjiang Film Market to test the waters, right?" ”

"Mr. Wang, I think we Huayi should not participate in this movie, when the time comes, I will really lose, and what I will lose is only my own face......" Shao Yingying said lightly.

Wang Zhongjun shook his head and said, "Are you separated from me?" (To be continued......)
