Chapter 364: "Painted Skin" Script
The shrill ringing of the bell startled the entire reading room.
Yan Zheng hurriedly took his mobile phone to the corridor to call back.
"Mom, what's the matter? I'm busy. ”
"Where are you? What are you busy with? didn't have a straight shape for a day, and Yan Heng was going to bring his girlfriend to the door. How long will it take for you to settle down? ”
Leng Yuejiao asked anxiously.
Yan Zheng hurriedly took the phone away from his ears.
"Mom, what are you anxious about, I'm only going to settle down at how old I am! You still compare me with Yan Heng, he lives like an old antique from his previous life, he has a serious face every day, and he knows anything except learning. ”
Leng Yuejiao was very angry with her son's disdainful look.
"People also know how to make money, a movie makes millions, and your grandfather rewarded him with millions backhanded! What's wrong with the old antique, it's better than your fake! ”
"Hey, Mom, how can you grow up to destroy your own prestige, why am I a fake, you explain it to me. I'm just unlucky, you know, Mom, even Director Chen lost 80 million last year!
How can you raise money every day when you engage in art, it's not vulgar, Yan Heng is just lucky to make money! ”
Leng Yuejiao was a little calmer when her son said it, it is true that this film art is different from ordinary commodities, and losing money is the norm.
"Then you can't be lucky?"
Yan Heng chuckled.
"Mom, who can say for sure this luck, you see that kid is just lucky, when we were young, we got lost together, and he was taken away! Don't believe in luck, you better give me money to invest in a new one. ”
Leng Yuejiao couldn't help but have a big head, this time she lost a lot, and she would do it again, what do you want!
Yan Zheng didn't hear his mother speak for a long time, and he was also anxious.
"Okay, Mom, my friend has found me a great project this time, and I'll talk to you about it when I go back on Sunday!" With that, he hung up the phone.
Leng Yuejiao sighed and hung up the phone.
*
Early on Saturday morning, it began to rain heavily.
An autumn rain and a cold.
Qin Qi and Yan Heng were not blocked by the wind and rain, but still went to Su Xiaowei's house as promised.
Su Xiaowei held a family banquet and specially called the two of them.
After arriving, Su Xiaowei took Qin Qi's hand and cared about it for a long time, and finally talked about the script called "Painted Skin" written by Qin Qi.
Qin Qi took it and flipped through the revised script that had been circled and revised by Mr. Su Xiaowei, and a warm current surged into his heart.
What a friendship it must be to help yourself with this.
"Thank you, Mr. Su, you changed too hard!"
"You don't think I'm slow, I've been watching it for more than three months!"
Su Xiaowei said and brought fruit for the two of them to eat.
Without waiting for Teacher Su to make a move, Yan Heng picked up the fruit knife and helped Qin Qi peel the apple.
"Teacher Su, I'm very grateful if you can help me change it, I'm just a layman."
Qin Qi took the apple that Yan Heng had peeled, and was in a good mood.
Su Xiaowei watched from the side and was spoiled by the appearance of the two, and couldn't help glaring at Director Huo.
Director Huo didn't understand what his wife's glance meant, and he was still stunned.
Teacher Su didn't explain to him either, but continued to express how much he liked Qin Qi's script.
"Haha, I really like the script you wrote, although the norm is a little worse, but it definitely has 100 points in aura! To be honest, I never thought that this story could be adapted like this. Qin Qi, you are very talented! ”
Qin Qi's heart was weak for a while, if it weren't for the movie she had watched, she really wouldn't have been able to make this up.
"Thank you, Mr. Su, for the compliment, because I am from Qi City and grew up listening to the stories of Liaozhai since I was a child, so I have some enthusiasm for creation."
Su Xiaowei nodded vigorously.
"It's really not simple, your story is very in the style of an old movie on Xiangdao, but it has more delicate emotional expressions than their style of blindly pursuing curiosity and horror, and it can indeed be seen that it is written with heart!"
Qin Qi felt weak again, after all, in his previous life, this movie was made up by the screenwriter on Xiangdao.
She just added a little more of her own understanding to the emotional drama.
"Thank you, Mr. Su." Qin Qi said with a crimson face.
Su Xiaowei really likes Qin Qi from the bottom of his heart, he is very smart and capable at a young age.
She knows that if it weren't for Qin Qi's thoughtfulness, with only her husband who is a literati, "That Mountain, That Man and That Dog" is likely to not sell for much money.
After all, in the past, there were a lot of petty fights in such films, and now the situation of fame and fortune is too inseparable from this girl's efforts.
Even if it was to repay Qin Qi, she was willing to help this child.
Not to mention, she still really likes this script.
"However, judging from my past experience, it must take a lot of investment to shoot this, and as far as I know, it is difficult for the domestic special effects level to show the texture of the painted skin.
If you want this movie to succeed, you must find a director, like my director Huo, is not capable of controlling such a big movie. ”
Su Xiaowei quipped.
Director Huo resisted beside him, "Don't talk about your husband like that!" I'm that bad! My film won the Golden Flower Award for Best Debut and the Huabiao Award. ”
Qin Qi hadn't seen Director Huo's first movie, so he hurriedly asked what kind of film it was.
Director Huo hurriedly went to the bookshelf to find it.
"That one is also written by Mr. Su, starring Ning Jing, I'll bring you a disc for you to go back and watch, it tells an inspirational love story of a disabled person."
Su Xiaowei smiled lightly.
"Don't boast, you've made a total of two movies, one about love and the other about prose movies, you really can't do this kind of magic blockbuster."
Qin Qi didn't expect Teacher Su to be so honest, and he didn't favor his husband at all.
After all, as long as he is a director, anyone has a dream of being a big director and doing big productions, even Director Huo is no exception.
"Teacher Su, what you said is very reasonable, this is really not easy, but to say that Director Huo has no strength, I don't think it makes sense! Director Huo just doesn't have the opportunity to make blockbusters, it's not that he doesn't have the ability to make blockbusters. ”
Qin Qi smiled brightly.
Even if it was just a compliment, Director Huo still smiled after hearing it.
"You see, it's better for Qin Qi to support me."
Director Huo actually felt itchy after reading the script, but Su Xiaowei kept reminding him not to think about it, so he didn't say anything.
As soon as Qin Qi said this, his mind couldn't help but come alive again.
"We can settle for the next best thing, focus on the story, don't force special effects, the most important thing is to tell the story." Huo Dao said with a smile.
His only two films, as well as his previous filming experience, show that he is not a director who is good at doing things with too many special effects.
"It's not impossible." Qin Qi said.
After all, the movie "Painted Skin" was created in 2008, and it is only 1999 now, so if you want to achieve a perfect effect, you may have to find a foreign team, which will definitely cost a lot of money.
In 1999, the blockbuster era of China had not yet officially arrived.
Therefore, the cost of the actor is also lower.
In this way, if the production fee and actor cost are reduced a little, the movie will definitely be able to make a steady profit.
"I think you have to shoot the best, and as for the production cost, I believe there is always a solution."
Just when everyone was thinking about saving costs, Yan Heng suddenly said domineeringly.
