Chen Yimou wanted to shoot Luo Yang's script, Luo Yang wanted to let Chen Yimou shoot the script of "District 9", the two sides naturally hit it off, and the two who had preliminary intentions sat down, Chen Yimou said with a smile: "I didn't expect Luo Yang, you are not only very talented in songwriting, but also so talented in script writing, which makes me admire it very much."

Luo Yang hurriedly smiled: "Teacher Chen praised me, I just had a good idea, I happened to write him, and I happened to meet Teacher Chen, if Teacher Chen was unwilling to shoot, I could only bury this script, so it is still Mr. Chen's discernment."

Luo Yang's compliment Chen Yimou is still very useful, but Luo Yang's words also made Chen Yimou think of something, frowned, Luo Yang saw Chen Yimou's movements, a little strange, and said: "Teacher Chen, take the liberty to ask, I don't know if you remember something unhappy."

Chen Yimou was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect that Luo Yang noticed his momentary movements, and while sighing at Luo Yang's carefulness, he also told his thoughts bluntly, after all, Chen Yimou's impression of Luo Yang was still good, and he felt that there was nothing to hide.

"What you just said made me think of something, you must know that in the past two years, the film industry has become more and more green, haode scripts are getting fewer and fewer, and the range of our choices is getting narrower and narrower, and on the other hand, some of you young people have haode scripts, but there is no way to deliver, if it weren't for Luo Yang today, it is estimated that your script called "District 9" will be buried for a long time, maybe you will never see the light of day for a lifetime, and on the other hand, First of all, if you have a big production, you can have enough box office, otherwise the investors will be furious, don't look at the usual respectful to you, if you let them lose money, no matter what level of director you are, you will be given the same face."

"Therefore, first of all, we must first consider whether it is a big production, and consider the story itself, so our current script is becoming more and more difficult to find, and we have to make ideas on ancient heroes and mythological stories, after all, war and mythological magic films are easier to make big scenes, which is also the production of Huaguo in the past two years, which is about this aspect of production, to be honest, if I didn't see the script of this "Ninth District" today, I might have taken a break for two or three years, waiting for a suitable script."

Chen Yimou has a good impression of Luo Yang, so he doesn't care about complaining about the current predicament of the director industry in front of Luo Yang, especially the depression of these big directors, there is no suitable script to shoot, which is really uncomfortable.

Luo Yang listened to Chen Yimou's complaints, and didn't know how to answer for a while, did he tell Chen Yimou that his achievement system was full of scripts, big productions, and a lot of creative ones, not to mention that Chen Yimou didn't believe it, but he didn't have so many points to exchange for problems, this is not like exchanging songs, a song is only a few hundred points.

However, Luo Yang still thought about it for a while, and then said tentatively: "Mr. Chen, you say that there are few scripts, because many haode scripts are buried, and the author has no way to deliver, just like me, in this case, why don't you have a script competition with the mode of "Sing If You Want to Sing", wouldn't it be a continuous source of energy to discover good scripts, and those buried scripts can also see the light of day."

Chen Yimou listened to Luo Yang's words, sighed and said: "Actually, we have heard others say that you have such an idea, and we also think it is very feasible at the beginning, but in practice, there are many problems."

"First of all, Luo Yang, you also know that the song competition model has developed very maturely, and there are many aspects that can get more than the return on investment, such as SMS voting to cheer for your favorite contestants, and secondly, advertising sponsors when the program is live, which can ensure that the organizing committee is profitable, which can naturally make many people keen to engage in such competitions."

"But the script competition in the film and television industry, what can you show to others, the singing competition is all about some handsome men and beautiful women like Luo Yang performing on stage, which will attract the love of many peers."

"And in the script competition, do you have to read the script on the stage? There are a few people who are willing to do this, before the results of the competition are out, the creativity is stolen by others, at most, a few judges look at the script and evaluate the excellent script author, but the audience can't see the content, how does he know if you are a black-box operation or something, who wants to watch a show without content, no one will have no income if no one watches, and the organizing committee will lose money without income, who wants to do this kind of loss-making thing"?

Luo Yang was stunned for a moment, he just made a suggestion just now, because competitions like "Sing If You Want to Sing" can indeed select many talented players and continuously provide talents to the entertainment industry, so I thought about whether it could be copied to the film industry, but I didn't expect Chen Yimou to say so many shortcomings.

However, what Chen Yimou said is also the truth, who is willing to do things without interests, for the dilemma faced by the film industry, Luo Yang can only be powerless.

Chen Yimou looked at Luo Yang with a helpless expression, and smiled: "It's difficult, so we, the directors, are also thinking about how to solve these dilemmas, but the film company won't think about it like this, they only know that their company has a lot of editors, isn't it just that a few editors have ideas, discuss it, and there will be, but in fact, in the past two years, Huaguo's annual film output is tens of thousands, which can be said to be terrifying, but less than one-tenth of them can actually be released, and there are countless bad movies, not to mention the audience's scolding, We all feel ashamed to see it."

"We, who are known as the four major directors of China, can also find ancient war or magic films to shoot in the past two years, but because of this, we have not won the Golden Film Award for many years, and the original Golden Film regulars are now reduced to this scene, which is also a sadness," Chen Yimou sighed.

Chen Yimou said that the Golden Film Award Luo Yang knows that it is the highest honor in the film industry on this planet, and it is about the same status as the Oscars on the earth, because the trophy is a base holding a golden film, so it is called the Golden Film Award, for Chen Yimou's sigh, Luo Yang naturally has nothing to say, so he can only sigh with Chen Yimou.

Chen Yimou sighed twice before he came back to his senses, he sighed for a while, he said too much, so he smiled: "I sighed for a while, I said too many off-topic words, Luo Yang, don't mind."

Luo Yang hurriedly said: "Teacher Chen can say this in front of me, indicating that he doesn't treat me as an outsider, how can I mind, Teacher Chen is too worried."

Chen Yimou also smiled, he didn't understand why he suddenly said so much to Luo Yang, maybe he was aroused by Luo Yang's initial words, picking up the story overview of Luo Yang's "District 9", Chen Yimou said: "Luo Yang, let's get to the point, I don't know what price you want to shoot your "District 9".

Luo Yang was stunned for a moment, in fact, Luo Yang didn't understand much about the income of screenwriters in the film industry about the script, but he just had a whim, he didn't want to bury so many scripts in his entertainment achievement system, and he also used Chen Yimou's fame in the film industry to make his own fame, so he didn't understand this in detail, so he had to say honestly: "Teacher Chen, I don't know much about this aspect, Mr. Chen, please give me some advice."

Chen Yimou nodded, to be honest, Chen Yimou has a good impression of Luo Yang, for this script that he is very interested in, Chen Yimou doesn't want Luo Yang to lose too much, so he told Luo Yang the truth: "In fact, a script of many screenwriters now can't be sold at a very good price, and some scripts are successfully traded for one or two thousand yuan, but Luo Yang, I like this script very much, and I can't let Luo Yang suffer from it, and now some of the most famous editors in the world do not implement the script buyout system, but according to the box office share, The highest proportion is 5% of the profit after deducting taxes and theater income, but Luo Yang, you have just entered the industry, you will definitely not get such a high percentage, and even if I give it to you, the investor will not agree," Chen Yimou said with a wave of the script in his hand.

Luo Yang nodded and said gratefully: "Thank you Teacher Chen for being honest with me, otherwise I really don't know the rules here."
