"You know, art is often a flash of inspiration, it can't be replicated, so as long as you have an idea, you try to go for it, and now I'm doing all this to raise money and shoot that idea, right?"

Mike would never say he was unprepared for the film.

"For God's sake, help me this stupid son."

Old Mike walked out with his tools.

"Daddy, Jie is just a 19-year-old girl!" Mike shouted in displeasure.

Mai Na revealed his old bottom on the side: "That's not what was written on the copy you sent out." ”

"It's just a marketing tool, and like art, it comes from life, but it's also higher than life."

Although Qi Jie has not been in contact with the Mike family for a long time, she is also used to the scene of the two bickering.

Seeing Qi Jie standing there with a shallow smile, Old Mac couldn't help but sigh, he hated to have such a child.

"Are you sure you can afford to take out a loan on an apartment if you mess up this time? So many bills, do you have to wait for the auction after bankruptcy liquidation? ”

When Mike heard this, he opened his mouth but couldn't say a word.

"So what do you say?"

Seeing Old Michael looking at Qi Jie, Mike squeezed out a smile and opened his hands: "My dear Jie, do you have any good ideas?" ”

Qi Jie hurriedly dodged the other party's bear hug, and then made a helpless expression, and the latter suddenly cried with a sad face.

"Okay Qi Jie, if you have any ideas, let's talk about it and study it together, I will return to China in a few days, and then you can sign a contract with this guy and let him give you a hand, that group of people in China are still very foreigners." Mai Na said.

Qi Jie also seems to have heard Ge Su Qiannuo say that many domestic things are often touted when they are labeled as foreign, saying that this is a sign of international integration and so on.

She glanced at Mike.

She has seen three movies made by Mike, and it can be said that Mike's luck is very good, and the first movie made some fame by mistake, but the latter two are not satisfactory.

She thought for a moment and said, "There's an idea that is more in line with your shooting path." ”

"Oh? You talk about it. ”

Mike pulled a chair, and was about to sit down when Old Mike pushed him away, and he could only sit down on a chair next to him in annoyance.

"Here's what I think. I think your films are always trying to create a character who can do anything, and it is precisely because of various reasons that the character of this character is not reflected at all, and it looks nondescript. Of course, the most important reason is also in the plot......"

Mike pouted to himself.

If it weren't for the fact that someone else dared to say that about his film, he would let the other party know what kind of power his casserole-like fist had!

"This kind of theme requires a lot of financial support even if the plot is reasonable, so why don't we look at the problem from another angle. It doesn't have to be that the protagonist is the omnipotent Superman. ”

"What kind of people do you want? An average high school student? Mike teased.

"That's right, it's just an ordinary person, he can be a white-collar worker who is tired of work, a beggar, a hip-hop, or an ordinary student." Qi Jie nodded.

Mike shook his head.

"So what's the point of this kind of theme? It's impossible to sell out! ”

"Shut up and listen to her!"

Reprimanded by his father, Mike had to keep his mouth shut.

At this time, Qi Mu was also attracted and sat down side by side with Mai Na.

Qi Jie put the blanket next to her hand over Qi Mu's legs.

"The protagonist can be ordinary and mundane. One day, when he wasn't hanging out with his friends, a comic book made the protagonist decide to become a superhero.

After purchasing simple and necessary equipment, his first heroic action unfortunately caused him to suffer serious injuries such as a puncture and a car crush. When he recovers, he realizes that he can't easily be a superhero. However, by chance, he successfully stopped the robbery, let the media and the public know this little superhero who fights violence and peace, and meets a pair of superhero father and daughter "Big Daddy" and "Super Killer Girl" ......"

That's right, Qi Jie is talking about the popular movie [Haibian King] in his previous life, this movie is strictly a small production and does not require much acting skills for the role, but it is such a movie that is very popular.

"It's a very novel idea." Mike touched his chin with the stubble.

He originally didn't hope that an Oriental girl who was less than twenty years old would say anything about construction, but apparently he underestimated the other party.

These words seemed to open a new door for Mike, and a new shooting idea was born in his mind. It's true that the focus of movies has been on superheroes at the moment, and there are very few movies about what it's like to be a superhero, just because it's an eye-catching highlight.

For someone like Mike, who can start making a movie with a pat on the head, the idea alone is enough to plunge him into the illusion of success.

"And how much does it cost to make this film?"

Qi Jie thought for a while: "About ten million." ”

The number almost caused Mike to fall out of his chair.

Old Mike, who was originally in high spirits, got up from his chair: "How many classic cars are that?" He found that if he was bold, ten Mikes could not compare to the soft-looking oriental girl in front of him.

"Are you crazy? One of my highest movies cost less than a million, and you say you need 10 million? ”

Qi Jie remembered that it cost Miller about 20 million yuan to shoot Haibian Wang producer Mark, and if the salaries of some well-known actors were put aside to enable newcomers and reduce them in some places, it was very likely to be done with 10 million.

In fact, in the film industry, investment often represents returns, and it is almost impossible for a shoddy movie to sell well unless you have a striking plot.

"Although 10 million is more, it shouldn't be a big problem to find more investment to shoot, right?"

"Not big?" Mike looked at Qi Jie's eyes as if he were looking at a madman. And the madman said, "Look, I used a time machine to get to this age!"

"I don't think it's difficult, many ordinary people are very willing to appear in a movie, they can't afford tens of thousands of US dollars, there are always dozens or hundreds, right? There are also some celebrities who want to return to their own glory, you can add some to the film, such as putting a model on a huge billboard, writing "She is the most beautiful woman in the world" with a big title, and you don't need to focus on ordinary people, some such as schools, playgrounds, as long as you hope to see and promote the shopkeeper school in the movie, you can let them participate, and even you can have a lot of free group performances......" Qi Jie told her thoughts one by one.

"You mean, get them involved, not only don't pay them but they sponsor us!?"

Qi Jie nodded, meaning the same.

Mike licked his lips, he felt that the whole idea was much better than the subject matter of the movie just now.

Why didn't he think of it!?
