Lin Xiao raised a finger.

"Fifteen million, more!"

"What!" The two men exclaimed almost at the same time.

"Fifteen million?! That's more than 100 million yuan! Su Qiannian was shocked and said, "Your first trinity will cost more than 100 million yuan?!" ”

Li Qiangrose gritted her teeth and looked at Lin Xiao, she thought the other party was joking.

But she didn't see the slightest hint of banter on the other party's face.

The atmosphere eerily returned to the position of negotiations.

Negotiations are like this, when there is a common purpose, even if there was unhappiness before, it will inadvertently return to the main road.

"If it's less, you can't shoot." Lin Xiao replied calmly.

"Mr. Lin." Li Qiangrose took a deep breath, "It is said that this is your first time writing a screenplay?" ”

"Yes."

"First time directing?"

"That's right."

"Maybe in acting, you are a genius, but in terms of choreography, you are just a beginner." The two have completely entered the state of negotiation, Li Qiangrose said, "From an artist to a director and screenwriter, how can you get down without a few years of accumulation?" ”

"I heard Mr. Furukawa say that you are a Trinity, and I hesitated for a long time before I decided to cooperate with you. A few million is already our greatest sincerity, and you are asking for fifteen million! ”

Fifteen million, dollars. More than 100 million RMB!

For any company, it is not a small amount, but a sum of money that can affect the company's processes. Even if Warner is one of the giants, it will not squander indiscriminately.

Companies that don't know how to use money on the cutting edge are waiting to go out of business.

Miramax dared to invest 30 million in Zhang Yimou, it was because of Zhang Yimou's accumulation in the early years, because of Zhang Yimou's face.

And Lin Xiao, at least as a director, he doesn't have this face, and he hasn't left his figure in people's memories for a long time.

But it is such a new director, screenwriter, who confidently called out a sky-high price of 100 million yuan!

How could Li Qiangrose not be shocked!

Su Tiannian was also completely stunned, he only had one idea now, Lin Xiao was too proud of himself!

"Since I dare to be a trinity, I am by no means hot-headed, but 100 percent confident." Lin Xiao said with certainty.

"Every director will say that he has confidence. With all due respect, Mr. Lin, there are too many directors like this in Hollywood. So much so that even if you take a taxi, you will see a movie-related resume under the driver's seat. Hollywood doesn't believe in empty words, only in results. ”

"Mr. Lin, I invested you fifteen million dollars, what can you bring us?" Li Qiang's mouth is like a river, without the slightest weakness of a woman, "We can give you technical and financial support, but what about you?" ”

"I can open up the Chinese box office influence for you!" Lin Xiao said categorically, "I repeat, what I need is not funds. It doesn't matter to me, if I don't want to be the best, I can work with Lianhe. I believe that it will be much easier for me to get 100 million investment from them than it is from you. ”

The implication is that don't think that you seem to have eaten me, it's a big deal that I put down RTHK to do special effects, and funding is not that important to me.

"How much box office can you bring us?" Li Qiangrose chased after her.

"At least close to $40 million!"

Li Qiangrose was silent.

She doesn't believe in drawing pies, but she doesn't give up the opportunity either.

"You already have a script?" She asked, hesitantly.

"There's a rough script." Lin Xiao didn't hide it, "But it's polishing." I'm not going to publish it until it's fully written. ”

The room fell into an eerie silence.

After a long while, Li Qiangrose said, "Then let's wait for Mr. Lin's script to be reviewed." ”

In the following time, the two ate reservedly, and after eating, Lin Xiao excused himself and said goodbye.

Li Qiang Rose sat in place with a twinkle in her eyes.

The anger in her heart did not dissipate, and similarly, Lin Xiao did not, so the second half of the meal was cold and rainy, and the two of them almost did not speak.

"Ten million? Do you really think he's Zhang Yimou? Dare to ask for 10 million when you open your mouth? When Warner's money was tornadoed? She sneered.

"For the first time in his trinity, Warner calculated for him an investment of 5 million US dollars and more than 40 million yuan, but he was still too little! I really don't have any self-knowledge! ”

"Madam, what about investment ......," Su Qiannian asked cautiously.

"There's no hurry." Li Qiangrose took a sip of red wine, her eyes were cold, "Before the script is reviewed, what are we anxious about?" He needs our technology, and we can give him technology. If it's really a good script, why buy it? ”

"I don't like the feeling of being uncontrollable, though...... Investment and investment is to invest in us to grasp the direction of the film, he is obviously not in a hurry for money now, and it is difficult for us to interfere in the film. ”

"Let's prepare with both hands, if the script doesn't work, naturally I don't have to talk about it, if the script is good......"

She said coldly, "Then, no matter what, at least one deputy director must be inserted in!" ”

December 15, 2004.

"Two-star script."

"Two-and-a-half star script."

"Two-star script."

Lin Xiao tried to revise the script three times, and finally realized one thing.

Script writing was much more difficult than he imagined.

"Why did the rating of the script drop when I wrote it?" He asked the system this question more than once.

This time, the system gave a rare explanation.

"There are three taboos in script writing."

"First, writing a script becomes writing a novel."

"The script should be concise and clear, and try to omit psychological descriptions. But it's not that there is no need for psychological descriptions, but through dialogue, verbal expression. ”

"For example, the scene where Yui Kokomi was slashed with a knife in the painting skin. Your modification is that the knife is slashed on Xiao Wei's body, how Xiao Wei is in his heart, and then he is unmoved. ”

"That's the first taboo. The correct way to write it is: Xiao Wei was slashed with a knife, his eyes were full of tears, his body trembled slightly, and then he screamed hysterically. ”

"Inner speculation is the job of an artist, not a screenwriter. You need to create and tell them the atmosphere, but you don't want to define their framework. ”

"Second, use dialogue to explain the plot."

"If there are too many dialogues, it will make the movie feel less visual. A good movie with few but incisive dialogues and every sentence is carefully crafted, which is all thanks to the script. The less dialogue, the greater the impact and the stronger the picture. ”

"Third, there are too many branches."

"If a film has too many people and too many scenes, it will cause memory distraction and weaken the audience's attention, and no thief in the world will make this mistake."

Lin Xiao silently read these three points again, and he could remember them every time, but when he wrote, he couldn't remind himself all the time.

There are always times when the pen can't be controlled.

And a good script must not only do this, but also count the props after each scene.

After eight months of training, he already knew that after writing, he would divide the script into different scenes, and everything in each scene needed to be written clearly.

For example, in the painting skin, the scene where Donnie Yen slashes Zhou Xun, what kind of knife is used, where the scene is, and what props need special attention must be made clear.

This creates a contradiction, the script has already thought of something, but this thing, reality cannot be completed.

It's like asking for a heavenly palace at the beginning, but this heavenly palace can't be completed at all.

In the end, imagination is beautiful, reality is cruel. Unbridled imagination leads to countless frictions between props and scripts, actors and scripts.

"No wonder there are no thieves in the world, and it takes half a year to write the script." He sighed and threw himself into contemplation again.

……

Outside the door, Qin Xin and Qin Zhong looked at the closed door, their brows furrowed.

"Little sister, how long has he been?"

"It's been more than ten days......," Qin Xin was also worried, "Since there are no thieves in the world, I almost don't go out of the door, and I write something every day." It took me half a day to knock on the door. ”

"It's like a fascination......"

"I'll take a look." Qin Zhong gritted his teeth, "It just so happened that someone came to the door today, and it was time for him to come out to see the sun." ”

"Knock knock." He knocked on the door, but there was no response.

Inside the room, Lin Xiao turned a deaf ear and was already completely immersed in the contrast in his mind.

"This is the battle royale script, a five-star script." He carefully "looked" at the lines of words in his mind, and sighed, "I used this method to explain ......"

When you have a certain foundation, you can quickly improve by observing the master's script.

However, he is probably the only one on the earth who has this condition.

Which script of this level is not regarded as a treasure by their company?

Want? There are no doors.

Unless it has been five or six years before it is willing to be released.

To let your opponent observe is to create a trap for yourself.

Only he can see the works of this kind of palace-level grandmaster in the movie.

After ten consecutive days of revision, he was stuck in two and a half stars and could not make an inch, and finally chose to observe other people's works.

Unexpectedly, this look has benefited a lot, and many places that were confused before, under the confirmation, there is a tendency to make great improvements.

It was like opening up a new world, and countless things attracted him.

He was immersed in this world when suddenly, a sharp knock on the door woke him up.

Smash, to be exact.

"Open the door! Lin Xiao! It's me! Qin Zhong's loud voice sounded outside the door.

"Here we are." He said with extreme reluctance.

Opening the door, Qin Zhong saw his bloodshot eyes and wanted to say something, but finally sighed and said, "Do you know how long I've been knocking?" ”

Without waiting for him to reply, he continued, "Ten minutes!" A full ten minutes! If you don't open the door again, I'll notify the funeral home! ”

"What's going on?" Qin Xin said worriedly.

"Addicted......" Lin Xiao sighed, unexpectedly realizing that the sunlight outside the house was dazzling.

"Clean up, someone has come to the company, and they want to meet us." Qin Zhong smiled bitterly, "To be exact, I want to see you." ”

"Who?" Lin Xiao stretched and asked nonchalantly.

"Wanda." Qin Zhong said suspiciously, "How can you know people in the real estate industry?" I'm not surprised that they are coming to find Chu Yiming, but why did they come to you? ”

Wanda? Lin Xiao's spirit was shocked.

That's one of the reasons why he dares to say that there is no shortage of funds!

100 million is more, but there are more rich people in China! And he, who is familiar with the "memorabilia of the film industry", has already calculated that even if Warner does not agree, other companies will find him!

Such as Wanda, such as Lianhe!

With the opening of the cinema system, artists and directors have really become fragrant buns for everyone to grab.
