Chapter 165: Conditions for Adapting a Movie (2/5)
Lu Yao raised an index finger and said solemnly: "First, my real name must not appear in the adaptation. ”
Zhou Wenjie was stunned for a moment, and then quickly nodded and agreed: "Mr. Lu, please rest assured, no matter what real events we base our movies from, the names of real people will not appear, and they will all use pseudonyms." ”
Lu Yao nodded, pondered for a moment, and continued: "Second, I hope that the filming can take into account our fishing village or Dolphin Bay to shoot, of course, it is not necessary to shoot all the exterior scenes with us, just a small part of the shots." ”
This is the main purpose of Lu Yao's agreement, to put it bluntly, he still wants to borrow Zhou Wenjie's new film to promote Xiasha Village and Dolphin Bay.
Although Lu Yao has never seen Zhou Wenjie himself before, he has seen a lot of his movies, and he knows that his box office appeal is still quite powerful, so he wants to rub the heat.
Zhou Wenjie pondered for a moment, for him, Lu Yao's move was to advertise his new film. It's not impossible, originally he made this kind of marine disaster film, and it was necessary to shoot in a fishing village.
But there is one more issue that he has to take into account, and that is the issue of investment. Zhou Wenjie makes movies by himself, so naturally he will not invest all his money to shoot, most of them are investments pulled from outside, if an investor wants to designate a shooting location at that time, he will be very embarrassed.
Lu Yao asked curiously: "Director Zhou, isn't there any difficulty in this? Isn't it up to the director to decide where to shoot?"
Zhou Wenjie smiled bitterly when he heard this: "No, although our director has a lot of rights, we will also be constrained by investors. I can only promise to include your fishing village as one of the inspection points, and where to choose the final location depends on whether other investors have other recommended locations?"
"Hehe, I understand, then I'm not too difficult to guide Zhou, wait for your script to be adapted and show me, if I'm satisfied, how much money will be needed at that time, all of which will be invested by me, how about it?"
Lu Yao said with a smile, anyway, his next investment plan has not been launched yet, and it doesn't matter if he invests in a movie.
Others may not know Zhou Wenjie's future film achievements, but Lu Yao has memories of the next ten years, and he knows that Zhou Wenjie will make a phenomenal movie in five or six years, with domestic box office revenue of more than 5 billion yuan alone, making many investors make a lot of money.
Lu Yao also wanted to take the opportunity to take Zhou Wenjie's ship, and when the time came, he would also make some investment in that movie, and easily share his billions.
When Zhou Wenjie heard that Lu Yao also wanted to invest, he was stunned for a moment, then nodded and smiled: "It turns out that Mr. Lu is also very interested in movies, and when the script is adapted, Mr. Lu will definitely be invited to invest." I don't know if Mr. Lu has other conditions?"
Lu Yao shook his head and said, "Not for the time being, just these two conditions." ”
Zhou Wenjie suddenly said: "If Mr. Lu can agree to me on one condition, then even if an investor asks to move the filming location to another place, I can refuse him and shoot in your fishing village and Dolphin Bay." ”
Lu Yao raised his eyebrows and asked curiously: "Director Zhou, what conditions do you have, you can tell me to hear it." ”
Zhou Wenjie said with a smile: "Actually, my condition is very simple for Mr. Lu, that is, I hope Mr. Lu will let your killer whale participate in the filming together." You must know that in this adapted movie, the killer whale is the most important, and it can even be said that it is a well-deserved protagonist, without it, the movie will be several times more discolored. ”
Looking at Zhou Wenjie's hopeful gaze, Lu Yao did not agree immediately, but said: "Director Zhou, I'm very sorry! Although I have a good relationship with Taiji, I can't direct it to do anything." ”
"Besides, I don't know how your movie is going? I usually have to go out to sea to fish, and Tai Chi will definitely go to sea with me when the time comes, and it will not be good if you delay your film shooting." ”
"This ......" Zhou Wenjie also became hesitant for a while, and only said after a while, "Why don't you take me to see the killer whale first?"
Whether it can be used or not depends on actually seeing it with your own eyes to find out. Although Zhou Wenjie has never made a movie starring animals before, he also knows the trouble of shooting animal movies, that is, they can't understand the arrangement, and many times they have to rely on grinding time.
In fact, the best way is to use special effects, but special effects also need prototypes, and special effects are too expensive, and he doesn't know how much investment he can get?
"No problem, we directly borrowed the boat of the village elder to go to sea, Tai Chi has been playing in Dolphin Bay for the past few days, and it is easy to see it. Lu Yao said with a smile.
The three of them drove the wooden boat that landed Lu Mingyi to the middle of Dolphin Bay, Lu Yao whistled, and at the same time communicated with Tai Chi.
"Tai Chi, come to Dad. ”
At this time, Taiji was hunting near the reef group, and after Lu Yao's transformation, there was more and more food in the reef group, and Taiji basically didn't have to go out to sea, and he could eat a round stomach every day.
But its way of wanting to get something for nothing made Lu Yao say it fiercely after seeing it a few times.
This reef group is a place that Lu Yao has finally arranged to attract fish to settle in, if Tai Chi often eats it here, where will there be fish who dare to come? Lu Yao's plan will all be in vain.
What's more, since Tai Chi has been practiced, the body's energy has been consumed very quickly, and it is now preying most of the time every day.
Tai Chi's main meal now is to go to the sea to hunt, but occasionally he will be lazy to fight tooth sacrifices in the reef group, and Lu Yao will not say much in this case.
If you talk too much about Tai Chi and don't come back, the tourism plan of Dolphin Bay will be affected, which is not good.
Lu Yao began to think about refining the Hundred Beast Spirit Pill, which could not only increase the cultivation of the spirit pet, but the most important thing was that the Hundred Beast Spirit Pill contained a lot of spiritual energy, and it was easy to fill the stomach after eating, and there was no need to eat a lot of food to replenish energy.
"Whew...... Tweet ......"
Tai Chi seemed to be caught by an adult stealing a child, deliberately circled from the reef group, emerged from the entrance of the sea off Dolphin Bay, and then cruised in front of Lu Yao at high speed.
This time, it learned from Lu Yao's teaching last time, and just jumped up from the water to greet his father, and did not hit them with the sea water again.
Falling into the water in a graceful movement from mid-air, Tai Chi poked his head out, looked at his father in a voyeuristic way, and grinned.
"What a smart big guy!"
Zhou Wenjie fell in love with this sea elf at a glance, and decided to use it as the protagonist to create this new movie, even if it took several times more time.
He turned around and said to Lu Yao sincerely: "Mr. Lu, we will sign the contract when we go back in a while, and I will immediately arrange for the top screenwriters in the circle to adapt." I will agree to all the conditions you put forward, provided that this big guy is allowed to participate in the performance. ”
Lu Yao thought about it and nodded in agreement.
