Bai Lu and Zhang Lan's company is not a separate animation company, animation is just a department of the company, in addition to the "Hulu Baby" that has been produced, there are many animation animations in production, including "Sheriff and Cat", "Sailor Moon", "Haier Brothers", "Mike Cat" provided by Bai Lu, and some of the purchased comic copyrights are also being adapted.

As it stands, the animation division is the only one of the company's current stage that is starting to make a profit.

Zhang Lan has not received a notice for a long time, and two months ago, she spent her own money to terminate the contract with the former company, but the company did not embarrass her anymore...... Of course, this is also the liquidated damages that Zhang Lan strongly requested when he renewed the contract last time that it could not be increased, otherwise he wants to spend money to terminate the contract now, and it is estimated that he will not be able to get it without 500 million.

The company has grabbed a lot of newcomer artists, and Zhang Lan has been relying on her relationships and connections to find opportunities for these newcomers outside the 18th line for most of the year. Notification fee? If you want to eat fart, in addition to Chen Jialuo, one of those newcomers is counted as one, in addition to eating and living, the company opens a basic salary of 6,000 yuan per month plus five insurances and one housing fund, and there is no penny to run the notice, it is good to be able to show your face and mix your face, and you still need money? Not only is there no notice fee, but the round-trip train tickets and air tickets are all issued by the company.

Chen Jialuo can make money, but the money he makes is just enough to offset other expenses, Zhang Lan is also anxious, but there is no good way, so he can only wait for the TV series filmed by the company to be sold after filming, and he can get back a mouthful of blood.

"Haven't you written a script in a long time?" Zhang Lan looked at Bai Lu and asked.

Bai Lu sighed: "What are you going to do?" In a hurry to make a movie to make money? If the company is short of money, can I just get you some more? ”

"You can't do that." Zhang Lan shook his head and said. "It's going to be a hassle then. You write a script and I'll shoot it, it's better. Anyway, my name still has some box office appeal right now. ”

"You let me think about it."

Bai Lu didn't agree immediately, there are really not many movies he can "pay tribute to". In fact, it can't be said that there are too many, mainly because there are not many movies that can be a big hit. Zhang Lan has box office appeal, but this thing is a consumable, it doesn't matter if you make a bad movie once or twice, iron fans will support it, but if you always make bad movies, no matter how good the elixir is, it has to become poison.

……

"What are you doing when you don't play with the computer on?" Qiao Xiaoqiao walked into the study with the child in her arms, and saw Bai Lu sitting in front of the computer in a daze, and asked curiously. "My sister-in-law just said that you should write a script, so you have inspiration?"

"A few ideas, but not many ideas." Bai Lu took over the girl from Qiao Xiaoqiao's hands, the little guy is now completely open, those eyebrows and eyes have completely inherited the advantages of Bai Lu and Qiao Xiaoqiao, and now you can see that she is definitely a beauty, and I don't know how many handsome guys will follow when I grow up. The first birthday is less than a month away, and this matter has already been discussed with the family, and there will be no first birthday banquet, just a meal for the whole family.

"Then give me a role." Qiao Xiaoqiao rubbed his hands and said expectantly. "I haven't acted for a long time, and my acting skills are rusty."

"Okay, I'll figure it out." Bai Lu held the child and teased for a while, and continued to sit in front of the computer in a daze.

I watched a lot of movies in my previous life, and I can't remember many of them, and there are a lot of big IPs, but some of them are completely mushy, and the box office is miserable.

I remember a lot of big IPs abroad, but basically the male protagonist takes the lead...... Ay? Why don't you change it?

The Hurricane Rescue series is a good choice, low cost, high income, and it is completely suitable for Zhang Lan to be the heroine.

Just do it!

It's like pulling a thread in a messy ball of yarn, sometimes you don't have a clue, but if you find a thread, you can pull out a long section if it goes well.

Now Bai Luwen's thoughts are like a spring, crackling on the keyboard for more than two hours, the prototype of the story is basically formed, and the rest is to hand it over to the company's professional screenwriters to fill in the content.

Wait for the script to come out, and then pull White to have a platter, which can reduce the financial pressure and use the distribution channels of other companies.

"I'm a genius." Bai Lu praised himself without hesitation.

……

"The story is good, but ......" Zhang Lan hesitated after reading Bai Lu's story. I'm a Chinese and a retired agent abroad, is this appropriate? ”

"Oh, no." Bai Lu thought for a moment and said. "Then change it to a secret service organization without borders."

"There's one more problem." Zhang Lan continued. "I haven't shot a gun, this movie is going to Europe to be filmed, right? I've heard that Hollywood uses real guns to make movies. ”

"It's easy to say, I'll let someone teach you when I go back."

"One last question." Zhang Lan looked at Bai Lu speechlessly. "You let our sister-in-law play mother and daughter, is this appropriate?"

"What's wrong with that?" Bai Lu said hesitantly. "Qiao Xiaoqiao has no opinion, why do you still have an opinion? Movies, everyone knows it's fake. ”

"I know it's fake." Zhang Lan scratched her head and said. "That's it, I wouldn't feel embarrassed if I changed someone, but everyone is a relative, which is a bit ......"

"Why don't you two change and you play your daughter?"

"Forget it then." Zhang Lan turned her head to look and found that Qiao Xiaoqiao was not there, but she still lowered her voice and said: "It's not me who provokes, to be honest, Xiao Qiao's acting skills are there, but they are not enough to pick the lead, like the comedy movie you played, her acting skills are enough in this kind of movie, but she can't play this kind of big heroine who runs through almost the entire movie...... Don't tell her, it will be embarrassing. ”

"Don't say it." Bai Lu nodded, and took out another notebook: "It takes time to prepare for the movie, why don't we shoot some short dramas first, how about you take a look?" ”

"Never expected?" Zhang Lan looked at the title, then opened the script and read it. "This book is a little interesting.,How do you say it? Nonsense? ”

"Yes." Bai Lu said. "The main thing is to highlight a nonsensical reversal, and the male protagonist doesn't need acting skills at all, the main thing is a facial paralysis, you see if there is a suitable person in the company, don't look too handsome, and then you give a play, it's easy to become popular."

"Okay, that's fine." Zhang Lan said without thinking. "There aren't many scenes that are needed, so I'll go to the company tomorrow to take a look, just shoot directly, and think about the lines while shooting...... By the way, I wanted to ask you a few days ago, but then I forgot about it. ”

"Huh? What do you ask? ”

"Part of the playground you built is going to be a movie theme?"

"Yes." Bai Lu said. "Even the film and television base, I'm going to get some studios over there first, and then I plan to make it the theme of our superhero universe, this is not in a hurry, this has to wait for our first superhero movie to be released."

"Then we'll have to move faster." Zhang Lan pondered for a moment and said: "To build the superhero universe you said, it will take at least two movies a year, and if you do it in three years, there will be almost six, and if you start construction over there, it will be about the same." ”

"It's okay, anyway, my general idea is provided, it's up to the screenwriter."

"Now there are a few scripts coming out, why don't you read them first?" Zhang Lan said. "I took a look, would it be strange if you said that the gourd baby was fused into the superhero universe?"

"What's so strange about that?" Bai Lu pondered for a moment. "If you really feel awkward, then make a superhero series separately, the difference between Chinese and foreign ones, it's really not good, we can still shoot a live-action TV series, and then link up on both sides of the TV series."

Zhang Lan's eyes lit up: "That's a good idea...... I'm going to the company, are you going? ”

"Go ahead, look at a few scripts that have been written, I won't drive anymore, take your car." Bai Lu went upstairs to say hello to Qiao Xiaoqiao, and went to the company together in Zhang Lan's car.

The written scripts Zhang Lan put in the safe in the office, Bai Lu read it, and there are three scripts that have been written so far, including "Superman", "Iron Man" and Maguire's version of "Spider-Man".

The plot, it can be said that the screenwriter's brain hole is estimated to have graduated from a brain hole school, except for a small part of the plot inconsistencies, the general trend is almost exactly the same as the plot.

"That's it." Bai Lu said. "Shoot Spider-Man and Superman first, I bought a hill in the United States, I'll go there after the New Year, start construction in the spring, and it will be almost completed next year, and then the house over there will be directly used as Iron Man's mansion."

"You bought a mountain to make a movie?" Zhang Lan said hesitantly. "You're good enough, too. In addition, both of these movies use foreign actors, right? What is the charter? Do you have an idea? ”

"It's better to work with the White family." White Road. "The background is abroad, and it's more convenient to have Claus Films joining."

"Or a platter?" Zhang Lan asked.

"How much more do you have on the company's books?"

"It's definitely not an independent investment enough." Zhang Lan said. "But you can pull in some sponsors, or platters."

"Yes, too." White Road. "Then let's do it first, don't you have White's phone? Contact him directly and set up the project first...... By the way, I won't be involved in the casting of Superman and Spider-Man, but when Iron Man is going to be filmed, I have to come to the casting myself. ”

"Okay." Zhang Lan nodded. "Then do you want to send out the comics of Spider-Man and Superman to warm up first?"

Bai Lu was stunned: "It's all drawn?" ”

"A lot of them have been drawn." Zhang Lan said. "It's just not released yet."

"Hair, hurry up." Bai Lu said. "By the way, advertise the comics, you can go wherever you can, you have to heat it up, and then announce the establishment of the film project...... Sister Lan, maybe you have to break the rules of not being able to do variety shows, find the most popular variety show, and go up to promote it. ”
