Chapter Seventy-Five: Good Idea

Thanks to the quality of "Nightclub" and the crazy publicity of Deep City Music Productions, the box office continued to rise over the weekend, but by Monday, it had dropped sharply. After all, this is not a national holiday, and ordinary people have to go to work and school. However, word of mouth has gone up, and the voice on the Internet is mostly praised.

The films released at the same time are either too bad, and the bad audience can't wait to tear up the director and actors. Either you don't know what to do, you get a lot of lofty concepts, and a lot of inexplicable things, anyway, it's not good at telling a story. All kinds of bombardment advertisements before the release are just to trick the audience into the cinema.

As long as the audience pays for it, the rest of the matter doesn't matter. This kind of behavior of feeding the audience has been going on for more than ten years, and it is a routine every year, which has made the people have a lot of opinions. I've been fed for so many years, and there are a lot of people who don't want to eat it.

Those audiences who were deceived into the cinema were all scolding after coming out again, and frantically complaining about some famous directors on the Internet. In this case, "Nightclub" is like a dark horse, and the word-of-mouth and box office have been rising, which has surprised everyone. Capitalists are the most realistic, with good films, they will definitely have to schedule more films, those who have a bad reputation, even if they are big directors, what about big stars? It's just not right to get in the way of making money!

Director Li, who used to make bad movies often, suddenly became a little famous, thinking that he had been rolling in the mud for a long time, and finally came out of his own style. Director Li was sitting at home, the phone was ringing non-stop, and many people called and wanted to invest in him. Director Li hummed and chirped, didn't say no, didn't say yes, anyway, it was ambiguous.

Putting down the phone, Director Li sat on the chair and was stunned. Why do you think I suddenly became popular? While I was pondering, the phone rang again, and then there was a misty humming and chirping. After making several phone calls in a row, Director Li finally affirmed that he was really on fire!

Who am I? What did I do? Is this on fire?

Director Li is also very concerned about the film "Nightclub", and he can score a little more points if the results are good, and the second young master of the Ye family has always been very generous to the people below. He knew that this film had a good reputation recently, and the box office was also very good, so he thought that he would be able to share an extra 108,000 after the release, but now it seems that it is not a problem to repeat it a few times!

His wife listened to him for a while, and when she saw his happy appearance, she couldn't help but say, "Why don't you call the boss quickly when you have the results?" ”

"Yes, yes, it's a call!"

Director Li called Ye Er first, the other party was busy, and there was a "move and call" and a woman's voice on the phone, Ye Lao Er grabbed the phone and said loudly: "Lao Li, what's the matter?" Oh, the box office, the box office is good. Well, next time I have a good script, I will find you to shoot it, don't worry! What kind of friendship do we have? I've known each other for seven or eight years, and you still don't know me? There's something going on here.,Hang up first.,Contact later! ”

"Click!"

The phone hung up, and Director Li was stunned. You say that they are all people, Ye Er is so chic, why do you have to keep facing the yellow-faced woman at home?

The wife had a mask on her face, and when she saw him look over, she was a little inexplicable, "What do you see me doing?" ”

Director Li smiled slightly and said affectionately: "I've worked hard for you on weekdays." ”

The wife snorted and said, "You work hard and earn more money to come back!" ”

Well, Director Li couldn't act in an instant. He wiped his feet carelessly, put on his slippers, and said, "I'll make a few more calls." ”

He walked to the balcony and called the eldest lady of the Lin family. He knew who "Nightclub" should be attributed to, but he didn't have Chen Cheng's contact information, so he had to call Lin Mengchu. It's all the same anyway, isn't it?

"Beet, beet, beet," the phone rang, Lin Mengchu grabbed it and asked, "Hello?" ”

"Hello, hello, Miss Lin, I'm Lao Li!"

"Oh, it's you. Can I help you? ”

Director Li stood on the balcony and said with a smile on his face: "The box office trend of "Nightclub" is very good this time, have you heard? Oh, I heard that, yes, personally, I am very clear about the role played by Miss Lin and Mr. Chen in the shooting. It can be said that without the hard work of the two, this film would not have been born. But outsiders think that this is the credit of my Lao Li, how can this be? Or I'll hold a press conference and make the story public. By the way, there are also those storyboards drawn by Mr. Chen, which are just like comics, I think I can find a publisher to publish them, what do you think? ”

It's really embarrassing for Director Li, he is old enough to be Lin Mengchu's father, but now he is a "you", and he is very skilled and eager, as if Lin Mengchu is his father. That's not wrong, Daddy. Middle-aged men have long been smoothed out by society, and it is chilling to earn money on their knees.

"Oh, you wait."

Lin Mengchu covered his mobile phone, walked to the edge of the kitchen, and shouted to Chen Cheng, who was cleaning up inside: "Director Li said that he wanted to hold a press conference, saying that most of the credit for the filming of "Nightclub" this time was on us, and he also said that he wanted to take your manuscript for publication, do you want to promise him?" ”

Chen Cheng said while washing the dishes: "This is not necessary, we have made some efforts, but we have not been able to play a decisive role." Those makeup artists, prop artists, and lighting artists, which one didn't make a big effort? We can't make such a work alone. You told Director Li to rest assured that there would be a good script in the future, and you would consider continuing to work with him. ”

"Hey, is that what he meant?"

"Or what do you think?"

"Oh," Lin Mengchu let go of his hand and said to Director Li on the other side of the phone: "Forget about the development and publishing of the conference, if we cooperate happily this time, I will still consider cooperating with you if there is a good script in the future." ”

After hanging up the phone, Director Li relaxed all over his body. To be honest, I was polite to the two young people because of the boss's face, and I had other thoughts in my heart. Thinking of him Lao Li, although he used to just make bad movies, he has been in the circle for more than ten years, why should he listen to a young man's advice?

But at that time, he had the attitude of touching the fish, and he was happy to see that Chen Cheng had even drawn the storyboard. As a result, it now seems that this has turned out to be a good thing. Therefore, a person's achievements are certainly a test of their own struggle, but they must also consider the course of history!

I don't know why, Director Li suddenly felt that his life was missing many seconds, and his luck seemed to be lost, so he hurriedly walked into the room, ready to open a few bottles of beer and have a drink, which can be regarded as a celebration.

"What kind of alcohol do you drink for no reason?"

There were cucumber slices on his wife's face, how to look at it, Director Li snorted and said, "You can't drink if you have nothing to do?" Let me tell you, this time, our Lao Li is going to be developed! ”

"Developed, developed, you have said it more than a hundred times, and I haven't seen you developed!"

"This time it's different!" Director Li distinguished: "Can the director's affairs be the same?" ”

After participating in a shooting, Lin Mengchu felt that he had a lot of things he didn't understand, so he was reading books at home these days. One of the greatest benefits of modern society is that knowledge is no longer monopolized by a few. Most of the knowledge, as long as you have the heart, you can find a book and read it yourself.

But generally speaking, it is difficult to gain anything from seeing without a teacher to teach you, or you will gain very little. However, Lin Mengchu must be unusual, she has recently found that she seems to be smarter than before, and she has almost reached the level of unforgettable.

After comparing the theory and then going to the movie, you can see all kinds of details and what the director wants to express. But how to say it, some directors like to show off their skills too much, and the flying of long shots will feel a little inexplicable to ordinary audiences. There are also some directors who like to add private goods too much, as if they are uncomfortable if they don't give the whole reason.

"Well, there are also these situations you mentioned, but there is another situation that those directors can't take out anything interesting, so they have to add private goods to it."

Chen Cheng had already washed his hands cleanly, and was reading a book, when he raised his head and said: "Whether it is a movie or a TV series, it has the dual nature of entertainment and publicity, and it is inevitable to add private goods." ”

"Hmm," Lin Mengchu said thoughtfully, "But what kind of private goods do we want to add to it?" Democracy or Freedom? ”

"You can add whatever you like, but the main thing is to be interesting. The vast majority of people are oppressed by life, and watching movies is just for fun, so comedy can last for a long time. When filming comedies, add more laughs, and when you want to stuff private goods, you will shoot a few awards specifically. ”

Lin Mengchu thought for a while and said, "How about adding the private goods of violent aesthetics?" ”

"The Aesthetics of Violence?"

"We can make some hardcore fight movies, now those martial arts movies are really ugly to death, they don't look gorgeous at all, they just stand in place in bright clothes and make waves!"

"Martial arts movies have long since declined!"

"It's not necessarily about making martial arts films......... By the way, how about we shoot the Beidou God Fist? Lin Mengchu suddenly perked up and said: "We have filmed so many scenes before, we can use them as backgrounds, so that we can reduce a lot of post-production workload!" ”

"Uh, isn't it too big? A fight like the Beidou God Fist, but you have to eat a lot of special effects, and where to find that kind of muscular brother to be an actor? It seems that no one in the country is suitable, right? ”

"There is no such thing in China, we can look for it abroad, and besides, it doesn't have to be a professional actor, we can also choose from boxers and wrestlers."

Chen Cheng smiled and said, "I have a good idea. ”

Lin Mengchu tilted his head and said, "I seem to remember that you once said that every bad idea will be like a good idea before it becomes bad." Isn't this good idea the one that hasn't gotten rancid? ”
