Jiaxing Restaurant.

After seeing the long-lost boss finally come again.

The chefs of the entire restaurant have done their best, and the dishes are called a sumptuous one.

However, there are only two people in the huge box: Xu Jia and Wang Baoqiang.

"Director Chen will be here soon, I have already sent him a message, the two of us can talk about the new project you are going to shoot first, and with my personal vision and experience, I can also check and fill in the gaps for you." Xu Jia said with a smile.

After this moment of contact, coupled with Xu Jia's previous relief to him, Wang Baoqiang's whole person relaxed a lot.

Wang Baoqiang smiled back honestly and said: "I only had the idea of a new movie after hearing a person's story, I don't know if you know the 'fighting orphan' that caused a sensation last year, there is a fighting club in Sichuan Province The founder is called Enbo, he took a group of children in the mountains out of the mountains, and then taught them the means and methods they relied on to survive, but after it was exposed, everyone misinterpreted his intentions." ”

"After I know this story, I am very touched, this script is very dramatic, but I don't know the degree in my heart, but you can rest assured, I will use all my energy and effort to make this movie well, I am willing to sign a military order with you, if there is no profit in the end, I am willing to bear the loss."

Halfway through speaking, he found that he seemed to be timid, and he couldn't help the shadow that the previous movie gave him too much.

But in order to make a comeback, he doesn't mind gambling on the rest of his career, of course, provided that someone gives him the opportunity to gamble.

And now, even this opportunity, it is difficult for him to have.

"There is no need for a military order, if every director is like you, wouldn't it be that the film company has become a surefire investment, the circle has long been chaotic, and I am not that kind of person, since I want to invest in movies, then I am psychologically prepared to lose money, what kind of producer can I do without this preparation."

Xu Jia shook his head and rejected Wang Baoqiang's military order, which was nothing more than a gambling agreement, Yang Mi won the bet at the beginning, but there were not a few people who lost the bet, Zhang Guoli was a lot old because of the gambling agreement and still has to come to the stage to preside.

Even if Zhou Xingxing signed a gambling agreement, it was forced to be unlikely, giving up his artistic ethics, and later "The King of New Comedy", which was changed without changing the medicine, came out, and Wang Baoqiang, who starred at the time, also failed in "Havoc in Tianzhu", and was ready to make some money back by filming, and the two hit it off.

Of course, this is all a matter of the previous life, and with Xu Jia's involvement in this life, Xingye's art festival is preserved, at least for now, the public still feels that they owe a movie ticket.

"According to the real events that you said, first of all, it is determined that this movie genre is a drama, and this genre is not pleasing in the box office market, and do they agree to shoot the relevant protagonists of this incident? This is also a problem, don't wait until the release to make a storm, it will be too late. Xu Jia raised two key problems, especially if the last problem is not solved, the movie is equivalent to planting a time bomb.

It's just that after Wang Baoqiang heard Xu Jia's question, instead of being discouraged, he cheered up.

He is not afraid of questioning, he is afraid that no one cares, which means that this filmmaker has no intention of investing at all, there is a good saying, it is the buyer who picks the thorn, and it is obvious that the other party has the intention of investing.

"I will add some comedy elements to the movie, it will definitely not be as deliberate as "Havoc in Tianzhu", the tone is still based on the spirit of great love shown in real events, if I have to say advantages, I can only say that my sincerity will be fully reflected to the audience, if they receive it, then this movie is not in vain." The more Wang Baoqiang said that he was more and more empty-hearted.

It seems that according to his own statement, there is still no competitiveness in the box office prospects, and he himself has been in the film industry for so many years, of course he knows how difficult it is for feature films to win the box office.

Why don't the audience choose to watch it on the computer, but spend money to watch a feature film in the cinema, which is different from science fiction and comedy, the former is worth the ticket price if it is a special effect, and the latter is that everyone laughs together, and it is easy to double the happiness, and even if it is a thriller, bringing a girlfriend can also promote feelings.

But in a feature film, it is difficult for a group of people in the cinema to really empathize with it, after all, it is a public place, and the occasional murmur is easy to interrupt the thoughts.

After thinking for a moment, he could only make up for it: "I have communicated with Enbo over there, including his apprentices, all of whom agree to the film adaptation, and they also hope that everyone can see the situation of the children in the mountains and resolve the misunderstanding on Enbo." ”

It means that he did not have a perfect solution to the former problem, but the latter problem has now been solved.

Xu Jia nodded, he was not surprised by the weakness of the other party's heart, anyone who was ridiculed by the group in the last movie will have more or less inferiority complex in the next one.

Even if Jiang Wen is so proud, after experiencing a box office failure, he still doesn't want to compromise for the market.

As for those filmmakers who have backbone and swear to die, eighty percent have been eliminated, and the remaining nine percent compromise is also a failure, and only a handful can break through the cage of the world through earth-shattering talent, but this kind of genius is rarer than successful movies.

"In this way, you don't have to think about how to please the audience, what you have to do is polish the movie, we have a professional team here for the script, they will help you integrate the elements of the movie into it, and when the time comes, we will also take care of the publicity, that is to say, we will let the audience enter the cinema, but whether we can keep them, and whether they can let them leave and say yes, this is your task." Xu Jia said.

He didn't need PUA Wang Baoqiang at all, the other party's self-esteem had already fallen to the bottom, and now what he had to do was to help the other party boost his confidence.

"You mean, you agreed to invest in my film?" Wang Baoqiang grasped the point, with surprise and incredibleness in his eyes.

"Of course, in my eyes, you have always been a friend of Jiaxing."

Xu Jia's ears moved, and he paused and continued: "What's more, Director Chen specifically asked me for your business before, and I definitely want to sell this face." ”

The next moment, there was a knock on the box door, and then Chen Sicheng's figure was pushed open.

"Mr. Xu's words are polite, my face is worth a few dollars, or the value of Baoqiang's project is there, by the way, Baoqiang is not quick to thank Mr. Xu." Chen Sicheng gave Wang Baoqiang a look.

The latter hurriedly stood up and held the teacup: "Mr. Xu, I don't know how to speak, you can watch it, I will give up my life and shoot this movie." ”
