"It's okay, it's okay," Wu Xiaoqing said politely, and said at the same time, "In this way, let's sit in the back, and you do the middle." ”

"No, no, let's go to the back." Chen Ming drove over this time in an ordinary 7-seater business car, without a driver and assistant. Wu Xiaoqing and Shen Changwen didn't know before, so they got in the car and sat directly in the middle. Now Wu Xiaoqing regrets it a little - sitting in front of others to talk to others, and having to twist his neck, is quite inconvenient.

After Chen Ming and the others sat down, Qin Feng went to start the car, and it seemed that he drove it too.

"Where are you going?"

"Why don't you go to the company office," Shen Changwen said, "It's still a place that Director Chen helped find, but I haven't seen it yet." ”

The office that Shen Changwen said is the latest, a film company opened in the name of Wu Xiaoqing, which also has some shares of Chen Ming, of course, Qin Feng, and several other main actors.

The main operation of this film company will be the future "Deliverance" series. The registered scale of the company is not large, only more than 20 million, but it is a name - it will definitely expand rapidly in the future. Investing in films is a small part of the company's business, and other aspects will also include special effects production, prop production, and design...... Wu Xiaoqing believes that this part of the content will be very necessary when the task is carried out in the future.

Let's take this * as an example, what I said to the manufacturer was to make anti-cheat devices, but in terms of capital operation, the name was carried out in the name of movie props. In this way, the consumption of the props themselves is very easy to understand - the plot needs, and the director burns them all.

It is said that the place has been found a long time ago, the basic company framework has been set up, the administrative and financial affairs are all there, and the money has gone in - but in the past two months, Wu Xiaoqing has not had time to go. No way, this period is really a critical period for the mission. Now, taking this opportunity, it can be regarded as an inspection of the new company.

It was said that he was going to the company to talk, but in fact, as soon as the car started, the topic had already begun.

"Teacher Wu," the one who spoke was this girl named Lu Wanqing, judging from the previous situation in the coffee shop, it is obvious that her fame is not small, but it is a pity that most of Wu Xiaoqing's previous life was spent on abduction and abduction, and she didn't care about the entertainment industry, "What kind of story is the sequel?" After watching the first part, I couldn't help but be curious. ”

Wu Xiaoqing turned his head to speak, he didn't pay attention to it just now, but now if he takes a closer look, a star is a star, a nose is a nose, and his eyes are eyes, how comfortable he is to look.

After the New Year, Wu Xiaoqing was only 19 years old, and his body was still a standard teenager, but the transformed brain had a natural reason, easily suppressed the restless hormones, and did not show the respectful blush of seeing high-end beauties at all, but simply replied: "It's almost the same as the first part, it's still a story of saving people." ”

Chen Ming took over the topic: "I've heard you mention a few words before, the volcanic eruption, right, what about the specific story?" What are the main conflicts? ”

"To be honest, I haven't thought about it yet, and the direction hasn't been determined yet," Wu Xiaoqing said, "The first part is a temptation, there is an ambiguous taste, and the effect of the movie has also come out, to tell the truth, there are funny, and there are also a bit of serious things, in my opinion, it is a hodgepodge, this is a middle-of-the-road approach." ”

Chen Ming nodded: "The first one is a new theme, a science fiction film, and this is also responsible for investment." ”

"I didn't object, or shirk any responsibility, after all, the whole process of the film was discussed. In the first part, everyone has no bottom in their hearts, so you can test the water by doing so. Now that the results are out, the response is good, but if I have to evaluate it myself, it can be considered good. ”

Chen Ming heard Wu Xiaoqing's voice: "It seems that you already have an idea." ”

"Yes," the atmosphere was not bad, Wu Xiaoqing simply said, "I think we have to make a choice next......

"Cinema is the same as any other art, you can make some money in moderation, but you can't be famous and attract enough attention......"

"Vital art is extreme, either to do comedy, simply to expand its comedic effect, but not the brainless hilarious and even petty bourgeois fake humor that is popular now, we don't need to make up stalks and laughs, just go to Hollywood. It can even be made into an absurd drama......"

Chen Ming felt a little headache, Wu Xiaoqing said it was simple, absurd drama. He is simple, with a few lines on the script, but the requirements for the director's lens skills are not a little bit higher. Of course, this can't be said explicitly, but can only be euphemistically mentioned: "But this kind of drama has high requirements for books...... Domestic censorship is weird again......"

Wu Xiaoqing naturally understands this, the reason why he took this out first, in fact, the original intention was to tend to let Chen Ming veto this point first, he was more optimistic about the latter: "Otherwise, just be serious, you watch those Marvel movies abroad, don't look at some absurd settings, all kinds of supermen, but when the book is written, there are always some very heavy things to depict in the bones." We're going in that direction......"

"Marvel movies are, to put it bluntly, to set up villains, but no matter how they stand, there is always a feeling of putting up a target to hit, which gives people a bad feeling. But this one is different, our villain is naturally present and always by our side - our villain is nature. In fact, the core of this film is more like a disaster movie, plus a gimmick of time-travel. ”

"The second part is set in the feudal era? Which dynasty? ”

"It's not a dynasty," Wu Xiaoqing said, "It's better not to set the background of the story on the earth, and expand the original setting." It's to save an alien civilization that wants a volcanic eruption. I had all the information ready, including a dynamic simulation of the volcanic eruption...... They are all ready-made, and they can be used directly for special effects in the future. ”

Chen Ming felt that this turn was a bit fast: "If you are in the air, it is not easy to bring in seriousness." ”

Chen Ming is more worried about the fact that the style of his works is too large.

After all, in the first part, they used a setting similar to Dayu's water control - this is an easy-to-understand background for the Chinese people. Although the film doesn't say it explicitly, there are many hints in the film that make everyone believe it - which is more convincing than explicit.

But if the second part is directly alien and a strange civilization, the play will be very jumpy - imagine that the protagonists of the Lord of the Rings movie are a few Chinese with Asian faces, you can understand the reason for Chen Ming's worry.

"But this is good for internationalization," Wu Xiaoqing's words made Chen Ming excited, "and this kind of Western feudal background, in fact, Chinese see a lot, but it is our own system, in fact, everyone is not so clear......"

"Let me ask you, what are the names of the largest officials in the Ming and Qing dynasties? What about the Tang Dynasty and the Song Dynasty? In TV and movies, it is simply called the prime minister, but in fact? Not to mention the official system, even if it is a harem scene, the concubine system in the harem ...... It's enough of a headache......"

"But Western feudalism is very simple—at least everyone thinks it's simple—and the relationships between the characters are clear and clear, dukes, kings, princes...... They must all be big officials......"

"As far as making movies is concerned, in fact, foreign settings are definitely more acceptable than domestic ones. Have you watched "Night Banquet", is the relationship between the characters in it particularly clear and clear, the king, the queen, the prince...... There are only a few main characters in this play......"

"Night Banquet" is a bad movie like this...... Chen Ming was slanderous, but it was not good to interrupt Wu Xiaoqing, who was on the rise.

After scribbling on "artistry", "internationalization" and "marketization", Wu Xiaoqing finally began to talk about the specific details.

In fact, there is nothing to say, it is just to make some deletions and changes to the things that have been experienced, and reappear in a form that is more suitable for movies.

But the main plot Wu Xiaoqing thinks it's very good - especially a few war scenes with *. Not only because he is a first-hand witness, from the perspective of the movie, this kind of crossing the point of using technology to crush has actually been a big cool point, but there has been no film with related themes in China - because it involves the seriousness of history. But there is no need to worry about this - at least overhead abroad, or overhead magic...... A considerable part of the reason for using overhead is also because of this.

Before they knew it, the group had arrived at the new company and parked their cars in the parking lot. But the strange thing is that everyone doesn't seem to have the intention of getting out of the car, and they only listen to Wu Xiaoqing to continue talking alone. It wasn't until Wu Xiaoqing finished telling the complete story that everyone noticed that they had been in the car for half an hour.

When a few people walked into the company, the front desk didn't know a few people - the front desk itself had just been recruited. After the manager was called, four or five people in the whole company began to get excited - after two months' salary, now they finally saw the real payroll.

It's a couple of bosses coming!

BUT WU XIAOQING DIDN'T HAVE TIME TO ACCEPT THEIR WELCOME, AND THE GROUP CHATTED REALLY HIGH, WENT DIRECTLY TO WU XIAOQING'S OFFICE, MADE A FEW CUPS OF TEA AND CONTINUED TO CHAT.

Chen Ming's meaning is that he still wants to join the emotional drama.

It turns out that most of the audience is still vulgar, no matter what drama you are, save mankind and save the world, anyway, everyone likes to see handsome men and beautiful women who can take time to fall in love when they are idle.

There are a large number of comments on the Internet that the movie "Saving the Ancestors" is good at everything, but all the women are "too realistic", because they are all primitive characters and look special...... It's unappetizing. It's not bad for two men to partner with this combination, but I always feel that the taste is missing.

So Chen Ming felt that it was necessary to add another person, this traverser must be a woman, of course the scene is very well designed, the man is responsible for the execution, and the woman is responsible for the BB, so that there can be conflicts.

For example, in this script, Chen Ming feels that a silly and sweet heroine is acceptable, and such a heroine can be used as a half-villain - the heroine's kindness not only has no effect, but also brings disaster.

Thanks to "The Three-Body Problem", this kind of Virgin Terrier has been recognized by a small number of public aesthetics in the field of science fiction, and this kind of fun is used in their movies, which is not abrupt, and it can match the theme very well.

The candidate for this ideal heroine is, of course, Lu Wanqing who followed them all the way.

The two leading actors improvised a few dialogues on the spot based on the clips they had chatted about.

The effect is unexpectedly good, at least Wu Xiaoqing thinks it can still be recognized. Chen Ming's view of the movie may be a little conservative, but it is still reasonable.

Wu Xiaoqing's expectations for this movie were not so big, so after thinking about it on the spot for a while, he made a decision on the spot, which can be regarded as setting Lu Wanqing - in fact, it is mainly because of the schedule. The other party has a mature brokerage team, if this cannot be decided today, there may be problems in the schedule at that time.

After chatting about the main things, taking advantage of the warm atmosphere, Wu Xiaoqing also chatted about the company by the way - after all, several people on the scene have a little stake in the company, although it is only a few points in name, which is used to get closer to the convenient way of relationship. But this is a starting point, and with such a beginning, it would be reasonable for more money to come in later.

According to the SAR team's plan, the more complex the company's equity is, the better – so that it can be done when needed.

"Although it is a film company, film investment is not the company's main business," Wu Xiaoqing said, "For example, this movie, because it is a science fiction movie, all the visual effects in the movie can be handed over to our own company to do, which saves costs, and the effects are also convenient for us to control." ”

"In terms of domestic special effects......" Chen Ming was a little worried.

"You have forgotten what company I came from," Wu Xiaoqing said, "It must be the world's top team, and the effect is ...... In a few days, I can make a sample for you to see, it's not that I boast, we don't charge money if you are not satisfied. ”
