Su Changqing didn't go straight to invite Hu Ji to join the leading heroine, he had already refused once last time, and if he refused to eat this meal again, he would be very tired.

He began to talk about "The Princess's Decision" and told him how he planned to shoot it.

From the style to the storyboard, it is very detailed, but it looks like he is applying for a director.

Regardless of whether he is an outstanding graduate of Nortel's directing class, just by watching movies for 30 years more than everyone else, he can make Hu Ji stunned.

As an avid movie fan, Su Changqing has watched at least thousands of movies in the first generation, and there are countless TV episodes, and countless directors have studied the skills and tricks that have been studied all their lives and now become his, and several ways of expression can be designed for a scene without thinking, which alone makes Hu Ji dumbfounded.

"No wonder your classmates say that you are talented, this is not as simple as being talented, and it is difficult for me to find the right words to evaluate you. ”

Hu Ji has always been cold and arrogant, and it is rare to be able to praise others like this.

This set of cowhide Su Changqing has never had a chance to blow, and he has the most contact with Du Keke on weekdays, but the two are peers, and it is too scary to talk too much with insiders, given that he has said something to her at the beginning of rebirth, it is better to be restrained.

and Hu Ji don't have so many scruples, Su Changqing likes to look at her admiring eyes.

Dinner is almost over, and the cow is also boasting that it is time to talk about business, Su Changqing said a little sensational: "I'm very anxious these days, as long as I close my eyes, it's you." ”

Although the atmosphere of the conversation was harmonious, Hu Ji was still a little embarrassed: "You have closed your eyes, it should be dark in front of you." ”

Su Changqing was not in the mood to flirt, so he basically talked about the matter: "There are too many actresses who come to apply, and there is an endless stream of actresses every day, but there is no suitable one, which makes me more and more unrealistic, where is our princess? So when I close my eyes, I naturally think of you." ”

Hu Ji smiled slightly and was a little unnatural: "It's too numb, talk well." ”

Haven't you always been talking well, Su Changqing thought about it before he came, maybe only feelings can move Hu Ji: "Come and join the crew, Jia Luo's script Simon's investment, this is all your hair, don't you come to the starring role to help?"

The more I sit in the rocking chair at sunset, the more I wonder why I stubbornly didn't participate in the filming back then?

"Okay, okay," Hu Ji didn't let him continue, "You're scolding me in a different way." ”

Unexpectedly, she immediately continued: "Actually, Ding Jialuo invited me when he wrote the script, and told her at that time that the screenwriter was not making things up blindly, and what he wrote without formal training might not work, and the plot did not connect with the world, but he chatted with you in the Forbidden City, and dug through the story of the Forbidden City and escaped? ”

No wonder Ding Jialuo said that Hu Ji would not act, he had asked a long time ago.

When Ximen Xiong invited guests to dinner, Du Keke said that he saw Ding Jialuo and Hu Ji having strange eye contact, and it was likely that this matter was not discussed.

In this way, she refused to act after a calm analysis, and for professional reasons rather than some special reason, she was not optimistic about this play.

But Hu Ji has not poured cold water on him, has not stopped Simon from investing, and does not seem to want to put personal judgment above everyone's wishes.

So why bother asking this question now?

In fact, Su Changqing and Du Keke have long discussed this issue, Ding Jialuo studied philosophy, although the screenwriter industry has also been a layman who has become famous in a play, but after all, it is an extreme case.

Creation is sometimes an explosion of genius, for example, Mr. Cao Yu, the former dean of Renyi, is the most accomplished playwright in the history of modern drama in China, and he was only twenty-three years old when he wrote the famous work "Thunderstorm", which was about the same as Ding Jialuo, which was his first work and the pinnacle work.

But Ding Jialuo doesn't look like a genius in this area, and Cao Yu started performing on stage when she was a teenager, and she has a considerable accumulation, but she is basically innocent, relying only on ideals and interests.

Su Changqing has his own views on these questions.

Due to institutional problems, the domestic film industry in the 90s did not yet have a mature concept of commercial films, and the films were mainly shot by several film studios according to the above arrangements to serve the propaganda task.

At the same time, Hollywood and Hong Kong had matured commercially, and Hong Kong, in particular, had developed a unique production model, with an astonishing annual film production, occupying most of the Asian market, and its action film model even influenced the world.

In this mode, the screenwriter is very flexible, and it is the norm to change while shooting, and it is said that Wong Kar-wai often starts the script before he has an eyebrow, relying on inspiration to save little by little.

It doesn't matter if Ding Jialuo has no experience, Su Changqing can guide her, she can keep changing it after she writes it, and if it doesn't work, she can find a top gunner to overhaul it.

There is no professional problem that cannot be solved.

But the meaning of Ding Jialuo and Ximenxiong's playing tickets is too obvious, they need a movie of their own, and they don't care about the market reaction yet.

Ding Jialuo moved to the studio to write, and Simon Xiong has established himself as an artist, and the two do not care about the investment in filming or future box office revenue, and are completely self-satisfied.

For Su Changqing, this is an act of performing arts, and for Ding Jialuo and Ximenxiong, it is the realization of self-worth, everyone takes what they need, and the movie is a success, as for whether it is money or not, it doesn't matter.

In this way, changing a mature screenwriter or getting a reliable script to save the movie will deviate from the original intention, and will undoubtedly offend Ding Jialuo, if she says to Simon Xiong, we can't play, who dares to guarantee that he won't follow?

When the movie is gone, you don't have to think about whether to return to the original cost, you will definitely lose money in the early stage.

There is a saying that the life of a rich person is so unpretentious and boring, and the two of them are inexplicable and... Be all abroad.

At this time, Hu Ji continued: "Actually, after you went out, Jialuo and Ximen called me, although they didn't say it explicitly, but the meaning of the words was very clear, if I refused your invitation again, then my friends would not have to do it in the future." ”

Su Changqing was a little surprised: "Did they call? I'm here to invite you, don't kidnap you." ”

Following Ximen Ying, Hu Ji also sent out a soul torture: "I admire your talent, but the current domestic market is very small and immature, how can this drama recover its cost?"

Four years ago, "Red Sorghum" had a box office of 40 million, and "Party A and Party B" five years later had a box office of 30 million.

Both of these films were made by big names, and the investment did not exceed five million.

In fact, 92 is a particularly embarrassing year, before the films were acquired and distributed by China Film, "The Princess's Decision" is a film that is bound to lose money, but at the beginning of 93 years, the film market will be opened, and capital can show its strength, which is the policy basis for Su Changqing's adventure, and it can be regarded as the welfare of rebirth of the prophet.

However, no matter how the policy is liberalized, the market is still the same as it was.

Su Changqing understands that this will be a commercial gamble, and can only hope that the director's skills and skills will make up for the congenital deficiencies of the market, and with the sharing mechanism of 93 years, the box office can reach 20 million to protect the capital.

Since the establishment of this film project, he has positioned the four-dimensional studio as a dream studio hired by two super ticket holders, and has not considered the market too seriously, and now Ximenxiong has gradually become friends, as if it is not enough to think about it seriously.

Hu Ji kept looking at him: "Now a movie is a few cents or a dollar, how can you earn back this 10 million?"

Before Su Changqing could answer, she asked again: "Or have you always only thought that you were a director who was hired by others, and you didn't care much about whether you made money or not after filming?"
