Chapter 402: System Upgrade

Coming out of the office, Lin Xiao smiled silently and bitterly, and sure enough, the result was similar to what he thought.

Qin Zhong can say that it is already good to think about it.

An investment of 100 million yuan, just this name, is enough to scare 99% of people.

But he knows that this film can't be won without 100 million.

After coming out, he picked up the phone and called Hua Lingrong.

"Yo, handsome guy, why are you in the mood to contact this palace?"

"Find someone for me." Lin Xiao was in no mood to joke with her, "Huang Xiang." ”

"Very raw name, are you an illegitimate child or a long-lost brother?"

"Cinematographer, see if you can get in touch and help me ask him if he has any ideas for participating in the film." Lin Xiao said concisely and clearly.

"Have a cinematographer go to the film?" Hua Lingrong became interested: "What role do you plan to let him play?" ”

"Assistant Director. What's so strange about this, isn't Zhang Yimou a precedent? ”

After chatting for a while, he hung up the phone, he returned to Qin Xin's residence, the two had dinner together, and Xiao Biesheng was newly married.

At night, Qin Xin had already fallen asleep in bed. And he came to the balcony, looked at the starry sky, and fell into deep thought.

Qin Xin's residence was found by the Qin family, a very high-end villa community, and he didn't worry about someone peeping at him.

At this moment, he had fallen into a sea of gold in his mind.

Eight months ago, since the moment Feng Xiaogang was taken over as a thief-free, the system began to be updated, and when he was filming the stormy waves, the update was completed.

He immediately threw himself into the training, and the direction he chose was directing, writing, and co-ordinating.

Like his previous acting skills, these values, coupled with the accumulation of his previous life, have not risen slowly. Now he reads a lot of scripts and can find loopholes.

The main thing is that there are three more crucial features.

Evaluation function, correction function, recall function.

He thought about it for a while, and said silently in his heart, "Memory, there are no thieves in the world, evaluation." ”

In less than five seconds, a soft voice sounded in his head, completely different from the previous cold.

"After the plot of the world is recalled, do you need to import it into the host's mind?"

"No, just assess."

"Script: There are no thieves in the world. Evaluation: Three and a half stars in the script, three stars after the revision. ”

Lin Xiao nodded, although the Bureau of Radio, Film and Television finally passed the world without thieves, but the police who were added bluntly, and Xiao Ye's inexplicable betrayal, made the second half of the plot very unsatisfactory. A film that was expected to go abroad, but in the end, Huayi was so angry that it was not launched.

"One of the shortcomings: Uncle Li and his men. The battle for favor between the fat man and Xiao Ye and the struggle within Uncle Li's group have put a lot of effort into this side line because the main line itself lacks sufficient weight in the plot and details...... However, judging from the overall effect of the film, this line is misaligned with the final climax of the film, weakening the strength of the climax. ”

"The second disadvantage: the police are too blunt."

"Disadvantage 3: After Uncle Li saves Wang Bo, when the main event is ending in a not too unexpected way, a sketch-like robbery and police intervention are inserted, which interrupts the attention to the main conflict of the movie that has not been well accumulated, and makes the whole movie turn to the conflict between police and bandits. Same as the second drawback, this is also for the review of the Bureau of Radio, Film and Television. ”

"Disadvantage No. 4: In the final plot, Wang Bo closed the vent with his bloody hand, which is indeed a very rendering picture. From the perspective of the emotions of watching the movie, the audience's emotional climax has not been expressed, and the final revelation has actually been guessed by the audience a long time ago, and they can't get the pleasure of revealing the mystery. Similarly, after watching the movie, you will also feel worried. ”

"The fifth ...... of disadvantages"

"Disadvantage No. 6......"

After finishing speaking, Lin Xiao himself was shocked.

There are no thieves in the world who have been praised by the outside world, and when they are systematically analyzed, there are more than 20 shortcomings in terms of script, directorial techniques, editing, and soundtrack!

"Overall rating star: 3 stars."

Undoubtedly, he believes more in the system. This cold and mechanical thing, but the words spoken are absolutely authoritative.

A three-star movie was sold to 230 million at the box office!

He was also inspired and once again realized how difficult it was to be in this business.

"So in the world, are there any five-star movies?"

"Yes." The system answers in the affirmative.

"Cinema Paradiso, The Shawshank Redemption, Schindler's List, Borderlands, The Godfather, Battle Royale, Titanic."

Lin Xiao was stunned for a moment, "Six? ”

Vast film library, only six?

The system is slightly silent" is twenty in total, but only six are listed that are slightly familiar to the host. ”

Twenty!

Lin Xiao was also deeply shocked, tens of millions of movies, only twenty five-star ones!

He took a deep breath, "What about the four-star ones?" ”

"Four stars, a total of 500."

"Once Upon a Time in America, Soldiers in the City, Mist, Full Metal Shell, Field Platoon, Terminator 2, Curse, Truman's World, Inception......"

Lin Xiao is silent, four-star, he has only heard of more films, and many of them are global blockbusters, which are not at all limited by one China.

"Curses too?" He was surprised by this.

"Curse, the plot itself is two-and-a-half stars, but the soundtrack and shots are all five-star, which raises its identity."

"And, curse the director Shimizu Yosuke, also known as Shimizu Chong. There are two versions of itself. The first version was the DV version, which was short-lived in China in 04 years and was immediately blocked. The version of the system review,It is known as the DV version of the 'King of Horror',The domestic version from 05 onwards,There are too many deleted shots.,It can only be barely regarded as a three-star movie.。 ”

"What about the three-star ones?"

"Transformers, Jurassic Park, Alien, Han River Monster, Chibi ......"

When I got here, it was almost all commercial films.

As for commercial films, he never remembered winning the Oscars, the highest awards for global cinema, for best drama.

Sadly, he didn't hear the name of a Chinese film until here. What's more, it's an endless list of American blockbusters.

"Someday, I'll enter that hall!" He clenched his fist secretly.

Recall, evaluate, and correct, these three functions are enough to make him the global king of the trinity!

But, again, this requires an abundant accumulation. He didn't dare to try this film at all, otherwise, it would only ruin a five-star script.

What he needs is the crazy accumulation of one or two films, coupled with systematic training, which is expected to come up with at least a four-star script in the shortest possible time.

After all, even if the script tells you what is wrong and how to fix it, but he has tried, he will not elaborate, but will only tell him a general direction, if the accumulation is not enough, you will not be able to write a five-star, infectious script at all.

He thought for a moment and said, "Memories, painted skin." ”

His goal is this 08-year-old masterpiece, with a total box office of 230 million, ranking third in the year, and an original investment of 80 million!

And now he has an extra 20 million, which is used to produce more than 08 effects in 02, top-level CG technology.

This has to be done by Hollywood's top special effects production companies.

He is very determined, this film, even if he invests 100 million, he will definitely return to his capital! And it will bring an incomparable reputation to the people in the play.

Because, his painting skin, the system does not evaluate it to four stars, and he will never come up with a script!

"Script: Painted Skin. Script: Three and a half stars. ”

"One of the shortcomings: although the original script is full and powerful, the final editing spoils the whole story and makes the plot slightly pale. Although the climax is still highlighted under the acting skills of the original actors Zhou Xun, Zhao Wei, Chen Kun and others, I only saw the explosion of acting skills, but I couldn't see the tension of the plot. In a word, the plot is very vulgar after editing, and the acting skills are extremely expressive. However, it should be pointed out that except for Zhao Wei in this play, other artists have not broken through themselves. Especially Zhou Xun, because Li Mi was in front of her in the same period, her painting skin was only 70% strong. ”

"The second drawback: the soundtrack is so bad that no one even remembers it. It is far from the soundtrack of no thieves in the world. ”

"The third disadvantage: the background color is too low, although the whole atmosphere of the movie is like this, but it will also cause aesthetic fatigue."

"Disadvantage No. 4......"

Counting down, there are more shortcomings of the painted skin than there are no thieves in the world.

"How do I change it?" Lin Xiao asked with interest.

"Excuse me about the criteria for the change."

"Four stars."

The system was silent for a while, "The gap of one star is very large." ”

"If you want to change, you must start with the lines, the biggest drawback of the painting skin is undoubtedly the psychological war between several women, there are too few heart defenses, the emotional conflict is slightly abrupt, to make it more sleek, only to cut off other shots, this is a long effort. It is expected to take a few months or so. ”

"The system is only responsible for guiding the general direction, and as for the changes, the host needs to complete them himself."

This is what Lin Xiao is worried about, the change of the lines, to change to a thief like Uncle Li that everyone remembers, is not something he can do now.

All he can think of is to invite everyone to refer to it, such as Feng Xiaogang, such as ...... Xu Jinglei.

As for the months, he didn't want to make a film at the beginning of the year.

Although Su Qiannian said that he invested at the beginning of the year and handed over the goodwill of WB, no one knows now that two major events will happen in China that will shake the government and the opposition next!

One is the SARS incident that shook the whole of China and even the world.

The second is Junichiro Koizumi's visit to the Yasukuni Shrine in January.

These two things directly radiated to the box office in May, when in the first half of 03, almost everyone in the spring movies was in danger, and the results were a mess.

Only in the summer and October stalls did the box office begin to recover.

"I want to try." He muttered, "You can't leave everything in the hands of someone else." ”

"Who doesn't want to act in a movie that is completely right to themselves, and who doesn't want to take everything into their own hands."

"As long as this step is successful, I will truly jump out of the Three Realms, not in the Five Elements. Become a real juggernaut instead of waiting for someone to come to me for a film! ”
