Pinnacle Pictures.

Gu Fei glanced at Weibo on the computer screen, it was Lin Jin's "Just Once" forwarded.

Gu Fei originally saw Lin Jin's singing.

I remembered that Dong Shi Xiaofeng asked Hong Ye to release this single, although this song is not a classic, but whether it is a song or lyrics, it is a good song.

There will be a little bit of heat.

And the box office of the movie is now close to the door, and there is hope for more popularity.

What's more, he knew that Jin Xiaonian would definitely ask Lin Jin for help.

Lin Jin will definitely not refuse.

"I'm such a scheming." Gu Fei shook his head self-deprecatingly.

He is the only one in the company, everyone else has activities today, Jin Xiaonian is not there, the young lady at the front desk and the financial aunt have not yet come to report, and Gu Fei doesn't even have anyone to talk to.

He thought about whether to give Lin Jin a call.

It turned out that the phone was out of battery, and I rummaged through the drawer and found that there was no charger, so I walked to Jin Xiaonian's position outside, wanting to see if she had a spare charger there.

Then.

A man appeared outside the door and knocked on the door.

Knock knock~

Gu Fei glanced back, it was a white-bearded foreigner: "Eh, who are you looking for?" ”

Gu Fei spoke English.

The foreigner looked at him, it took him a lot of effort to find here, but he didn't expect to see the person he was looking for as soon as he entered the door, and it was obvious that Gu Fei didn't know him: "Is this the pinnacle studio?" ”

He speaks Chinese.

Gu Fei smiled wryly, and after a long time, people could speak Chinese, so he said: "That's right, the sign says, but there is no one in the company today, if you have anything to do, you can come back next time." ”

"That's right, I have a script in my hand and want to sell it to a film and television company, do you think your company is interested?"

"Script? Can I take a look? ”

"This can't work, after all, my creativity can't be leaked, I can only show it to the person in charge of Peak Film and Television Company."

"I am."

"You are?"

"Well, that's right, you are a foreigner and may not know me, if you don't believe it, you can ask the property downstairs if I am the owner of this company."

The foreigner thought for a while and seemed to hesitate: "Okay, I believe you, can we go in and talk?" ”

"Absolutely."

Gu Fei smiled and welcomed the foreigner into the conference room.

The conference room was small, with a long table and a projection screen on the wall, on which there were projectors and computers.

I haven't used this conference room much since I moved here, and the only time I used it was when I was discussing the box office two days ago.

"Where's the script?" Gu Fei asked.

"In the USB flash drive, can I turn on the computer, I think I can use the projection device to show you." The foreigner said with a smile.

After Gu Fei signaled that there was no problem, he turned on the computer and projector.

After a while, his script appeared on the screen of the projector.

Gu Fei rubbed his chin with one hand and looked at it seriously.

It is about the not-too-distant future, with the deterioration of the earth's environment, human beings are facing the threat of not being able to survive.

At this time, scientists discovered a wormhole near Saturn in the solar system, through which it can break the limits of human capabilities and go to outer space to find opportunities to continue life.

An expedition team travels beyond the solar system through this wormhole, and their goal is to find a planet suitable for human settlements.

A typical Hollywood sci-fi script.

Gu Fei smiled.

"Sir, I think your script is in the wrong place, we can't make this kind of science fiction movie here."

"Why can't you shoot it?"

"A lot of reasons."

"No, I think you're running away from the problem, any movie can be made, a movie is a movie, as long as you put in the effort, you can definitely make it."

Gu Fei looked at him seriously.

I thought about it.

said: "I don't think I agree with you, a movie is not just a movie, in short, it is from the early script, shooting, to the later editing. To put it more complicated, it is a combination of literature, music, technology, and craftsmanship. ”

"From the perspective of historical and literary background, science fiction is not deeply rooted in the modern background of our place, and from the perspective of technology and craftsmanship, we can't do this."

The foreigner looked directly into Gu Fei's eyes and said, "I admit that what you said makes sense, but if you give up because of these limitations, when will China be able to make a good movie?" ”

"Good movie?"

Gu Fei asked rhetorically: "Sir, what do you think is the definition of a good movie?"

What is it? Grand view of the world? The special effects are awesome? What's the story? Profound ideas? I don't think so. ”

"Huh?" The foreigner was stunned.

"A good movie, no matter what the subject matter, no matter what box office, as long as it can resonate with a certain type of specific group, it is a good movie." Gu Fei said directly.

"For example, I filmed "Charlotte's Troubles" some time ago, although he is just a very simple story, but he aroused the memories of people in that era, and the people of that era resonated with it, this is a good movie."

"In the same way, science fiction makes movies, and it resonates with people who are full of anxiety about the future."

"Resonance is infectious, and when the number of resonant groups is large enough, it can definitely attract another group of audiences who do not have a strong sense of resonance, and the box office of such a movie will not be bad."

"But there is a kind of movie, its resonance group is only a small part of the people, so if from the box office, from the subject matter, from the production process, this kind of movie will definitely not be a good movie, but for that small group of people, this movie is worth their memory, in their hearts, this movie is the treasure of their life."

Gu Fei said for a long time in one breath.

Then paused, he didn't know if the foreigner in front of him could understand after saying so much.

"I suddenly felt that there was some truth in what you said."

The foreigner smiled: "But it's been a long time since I've seen the kind of movie you said that can only resonate with a small number of people." ”

Gu Fei raised his eyebrows: "I just wrote one, I don't know if you want to read it?" ”

"It's my pleasure." The foreigner spread his hands.

Gu Fei returned to his office, opened his notebook, connected it to the projector, and the script he hadn't finished writing appeared on the screen.

The foreigner looked at it seriously.

After a while.

The foreigner sighed.

"I have to admit that you are a genius director, no, I should say that you are a genius screenwriter."

The foreigner stood up and stretched out his hand: "Nice to meet you, I'm the director of "Global Arrival", Eric Spo. ”

"I know."

Gu Fei smiled: "I recognized you from the first second you entered the door, but I didn't expect you to show me the script." ”

"That's the script for my next film." Spo said seriously.

"I'm showing you the script for my next movie as well." A smile appeared in Gu Fei's eyes.

The eyes of the two men collided.

At this time, the laptop pops up with news.

It just so happened that the laptop and the projector were still connected, so the news appeared directly on the screen of the projector.

It's today's box office stats.

Because of Gu Fei's song strategy and the guidance of Lin Jin's Weibo topic, the box office increase did not decrease but increased.

However, "Global Arrival" did not stabilize, and the box office growth fell a lot year-on-year.

One up and one down.

"Charlotte's Troubles" is at the top!

No. 1 at the box office during the Spring Festival!

Eric Spo knows he's lost this time, although China's box office numbers don't affect "Global Arrival"

The place in global cinema, and in every sense of the word, "Global Arrival" is better than "Charlotte's Troubles".

But as Gu Fei said, his films are only to impress a certain type of people.

That's what makes a good movie.

He stretched out his hand and shook it with Gu Fei.

He said very seriously and seriously: "The next movie, I will also release it with you." ”

Gu Fei also replied to him seriously: "In the next movie, I will make a movie for you to see, and we can also make a decent sci-fi blockbuster!" ”

……

"Charlotte's Troubles" topped the box office, which surprised everyone.

But Gu Fei took it for granted.

Originally, he planned that after the box office came out, he flew to Changsha to see how the preparation of "Star Detective" was.

But Jin Xiaonian didn't let him go.

Because Jin Xiaonian thinks-

At this time, should there be a big celebration party?
