Chapter 033: Total investment 1 small goal!

The classicism of "Let the Bullets Fly" must be undoubted, this is a movie that has withstood the test of countless moviegoers in previous lives.

Wu Sin told Zhou Ming all the plot in his mind in this way.

When it came to the end, Zhou Ming's eyes were already full of light.

"Good! All right! Zhou Ming looked at Wu Sin and said: "I really didn't expect that Wu Sin is still such a person with such a rich imagination, I think you not only have the characteristics of an actor, you even have the talent of a screenwriter!" ”

As an industry insider, Zhou Ming naturally has his own unique vision and knows what kind of script will look good when filmed.

The ingeniousness of the story that Wu Sin is talking about now is not necessarily conceived even by many senior screenwriters in the industry.

Film and television screenwriting and writing novels are two completely different things, although they are both writing stories, but the difference is big.

Novels, you can describe in great detail, the foreshadowing and twists of various plots, and then from the bland to the climax.

You can go through this process in millions of words and build a complete worldview and story.

But film and television dramas don't allow you to do this.

A movie is only one or two hours, and no matter how long it is, it will be more than three hours.

As a screenwriter, what you have to do is to insert as much content as possible into this limited one- or two-hour plot in an orderly manner.

That's a hard thing to do, because in those hours or two, you have to explain the story, you have to make the story seem uncluttered, and you have to take into account all kinds of details.

So you can also see that in many TV series or movies adapted from novels, the screenwriter is often not the author.

Because the script has been streamlined and adapted by the screenwriter, otherwise there is no way to completely put it on the screen.

If it is really filmed according to the plot in the novel, then that TV series can be compared with works such as "Naruto" and "Detective Conan".

So, not everyone can write or think of a story that is suitable for a movie.

But now the plot that Wu Sin said is very suitable!

"Even I don't think you need a screenwriter to improve your story, you just need to find a screenwriter to write it in the way of a script according to your ideas!"

Wu Sin smiled awkwardly, because only he knew that this was not a talent, but the accumulation of entertainment works from his previous life.

Zhou Ming said excitedly: "What's the name of this movie?" ”

"Let the Bullets Fly." Wu Sin thought about it, but decided to say his original name.

"A good name, it fits the theme very well, and there is a blank space from the name." Zhou Ming nodded approvingly: "Let me tell you more about this investment." ”

Wu Sin lifted his spirits a little.

The local movie he participated in, that is, "Big Boss", although the box office results are very good now, but in fact, there is not much shooting cost at all, and it can be regarded as a small-budget film.

All the shooting costs of the whole film are about 15 million.

Among them, 5 million was an investment pulled by Zhou Ming.

The remaining 10 million was overspent on filming, and after the funds dried up, Zhou Ming sold his house and car and borrowed money.

At that time, it can really be said that I spent all the money on the blade, and I couldn't wait to break a penny in half to spend it.

The various conditions of the crew are also very difficult, everyone has been feeding mosquitoes in the mountains for several months, the place where they live is humid and hot, there is no air conditioning, and like the steamer, they often wake up with a stinky sweat.

Then there was no need for makeup, Wu Sin directly put on that oily head, which was a natural rainforest giant.

The final result was also good, Wu Sin successfully used his screen image to scare many children crying in the National Day file.

And this time the shooting funds ....

"100 million!" Zhou Ming took a deep breath and solemnly said the number.

"Shhh

He almost said the phrase '', and he was also shocked enough.

This.... Just a small goal?

I have to say that the span is really big.

Not long ago, I was still worried about money, and the funds were seriously insufficient, but now I directly have a small goal of funds to shoot works.

can only say, is the boss really awesome?

However, this also made what Wu Sin originally wanted to say come to a sudden brake.

Originally, he also wanted to say that he earned a little salary for his last film, and see if Zhou Ming needs to invest.

But look at this small goal, and then look at the pitiful 700,000 in your pocket....

He still didn't say that.

"So now there should be resources to invite real celebrities, right?" Wu Sin asked.

What do you say about the play "Let the Bullets Fly"? It's definitely not the same as "Giant".

Giant, you can use more young actors, that's fine, because it's quite in line with reality.

But "Let the Bullets Fly" is really not suitable for the participation of so many new generation actors, and this film requires more acting skills, and it is more difficult in terms of technique.

And this drama is not an ordinary funny movie, in fact, there are many details in the hidden plot, and even many mappings and connotations, including many famous characters in modern history.

If you want to interpret this, it depends on your personal understanding, and the words that are spoken in detail here are easy to be erased by the unspeakable supreme power in the underworld, and they are erased from the root.

"Yes, there are a few candidates." Zhou Ming also nodded and admitted: "The next thing is to contact them." ”

Then, in addition to the discussion, Wu Sin also told Zhou Ming about his contact with Tianding Entertainment, and asked Zhou Ming's suggestion.

Zhou Ming pondered for a moment, and also gave his own answer.

"Tianding Entertainment, I know a little about this, although it is not a giant-level gate valve company, but it is also considered to be at the middle and upper reaches of the level in the circle, and the performance of many works and the reputation in the circle are also remarkable, but.... If you sign up with their family, I still advise you to think twice. ”

"Is there anything noteworthy about this?" Wu Sin asked.

"That's not it, it's just that this company hasn't made achievements for a long time, and with poor management and investment, the current situation is not very good, and it is even rumored that it may face restructuring."

Signing with an agency is an important decision for an actor's career.

The quality of the company signed by this actor also determines the actor's next career life to a large extent.

So I have to be cautious, the water in the circle is still very deep.

Zhou Ming didn't hide it from Wu Sin, and told Wu Sin about the things inside the circle.

For example, some brokerage companies will let their artists go out to accompany the wine, and sometimes you can't even refuse, because many terms are written on it.

Why are there so many people in the entertainment industry who are sticking to things now?

Most of it is because of these reasons.

For example, if you accompany the boss, everyone is drinking, if you don't drink, you just don't give the boss face, you see that you disobey the face of the big boss, will your next career in the circle be better.

In their words, they will do things.

And there is a lot of deeper darkness that ordinary people like Wu Sin can't reach.

Of course, there are many brokerage companies that still don't have so many bullshit things, but from an objective point of view, this kind of thing is there in the circle, and there is no in the circle, and the mess in the circle is also the whole.
