Xiao Gangpao and Wang Shuo probably didn't expect that Director Han would call Su Changqing for a meeting, and the atmosphere was a little awkward for a while.

Wang Shuo obviously wanted to raise an objection, but was held down by the small steel cannon.

The two have recently cooperated with Beiying, and they can't afford to offend Director Han.

Most of the time, forcing others to accept unreasonable arrangements is power in itself.

No one could refuse Director Han's arrangement, so Xiao Gang Cannon introduced the plot again in order for Su Changqing to participate in the discussion.

As the first Chinese New Year movie in China, the six princesses don't know how many times they have been played, and the plot Su Changqing has long been familiar with, telling the story of four young freelancers, who are unemployed vagrants, who have a whim to start a "good dream day trip" business, similar to the form of crew outsourcing services, to help idlers make their dreams come true.

The whole movie is strung together by several sketch-like stories, which are full of laughter but also down-to-earth, such as catching thieves on the bus, solving marital conflicts, helping military fans to be General Patton for a day, and letting big money experience life in poor areas, etc.

Of course, this simple tandem structure is rougher, on the one hand, Xiaogang Cannon was the best at a kind of TV series, the plot of each episode is relatively short, and the long drama is not good at it, so it is to shoot a movie as a TV series.

The sensationalism of this movie is also done well, especially in the last paragraph, which fulfills the dream of a reunion of cancer patients, resulting in the homelessness of Ge Wei during the New Year, which is quite touching, Su Changqing can still remember the classic line: "1997 has passed, and I miss it very much." ”

In a movie, it is good to have a line that people can remember for a lifetime.

After Xiaogang Cannon introduced the plot, Director Han was not polite: "Changqing, how about you comment on this book." ”

After Su Changqing's debut, he wrote four screenwriting works, all of which were box office hits, and he also won the Screenwriting Award from the Japan Film Critics Association.

But everyone here is more than ten years older than him, and they are all seniors in the film and television industry, not to mention that literati are light, and if you really want to give an opinion, you don't know the severity.

Su Changqing simply studied the small steel cannon and praised the script, such as the warm and touching image of the little people in the market, the tragic lining of the comedy shell, which improved the style of the whole play, and so on.

"Especially with the help of absurd forms, the ridicule of social criticism and the care for the disadvantaged are handled just right, I think this film can resonate with the audience. ”

This remark is obviously very useful, Su Changqing may have said more than Xiao Gang Cannon thought, except for Wang Shuo, everyone else applauded and agreed.

Wang Shuo has seen a lot of big-mouthed fools, even if it is a good word, he is unwilling to listen to others, especially peers, evaluate works related to him, and stares at Su Changqing: "You said it so well, then give an estimate, how much box office can this film have?"

This is not difficult, Xiaogang Cannon has made several movies and TV series before, the level is visible to everyone, and the box office also knows how much benefit can be created by combining the Chinese New Year file of Director Han is what everyone is most concerned about.

Su Changqing didn't say anything, and asked Wang Shuo: "How much money do you plan to invest?"

"Three and a half million, we don't have any money, unlike you who are a capitalist, and you will have tens of millions as soon as you make a move. ”

At this stage, in addition to the main theme blockbuster regardless of the cost, the production cost of domestic films is indeed relatively low, and two or three million is the norm.

Director Han smiled: "Don't talk like that, if you are worried about not having enough money, once this drama is launched, I will invest 500,000 yuan on behalf of Beiying." ”

Except for the small steel cannon, several people present looked at each other.

They have already made up enough investment, and they have also set up a special company, it's not that they really don't have money, but they are mainly worried that they won't be able to get it back if they invest too much.

Su Changqing was not surprised, he had already learned the vigorous and resolute skills of doers a few days ago, and now it was the turn of these people.

However, no one dared to object, and simply did not hear it.

Director Han smiled and didn't say it a second time.

Squeeze people are Wang Shuo's main way to communicate with people, given that someone will clean him up soon, Su Changqing didn't care, although he knew who the main actor was, he still had to ask Xiao Gang Cannon again professionally.

"At present, the male protagonist is tentatively selected, and the rest of the actors plan to find talents. ”

Han Changzi added for him: "The two actresses Liu Bei and Xu Fan, and Changqing have also cooperated. ”

Xiao Gang Cannon didn't want to make a sail in front of people, and someone just mentioned it.

Su Changqing wanted to end the topic early and leave early: "Director Han created a New Year's stall for the period from New Year's Day to the Spring Festival, and now he has increased his investment, as long as Director Feng plays normally, it will not be a problem for this film to sell for thirty or forty million." ”

Customizing movies for the best time slots, scheduling is definitely not a problem, and it's hell not to sell it for money.

Su Changqing's total investment in screenwriting is more than 10 million, although the Asian box office is more than 70 million, but there are only 43 million in China.

In fact, the final box office of this Chinese New Year film is more than 33 million, which is still a big distance, and it is even worse than what Su Changqing wrote and directed.

"Hey," Wang Shuo waved his hand: "You can really talk about it, we just estimated it by a group of people, it would be a miracle if it could be 20 million, and five or six times the box office value is already blind, and you can be ten times as much as you can with one mouth?"

Su Changqing shook his head with a smile and didn't argue with him.

This kid is fighting with Xu Jinglei, and his anger is obviously not enough.

Director Han took the lead in applauding again: "Anyway, I hope Changqing's estimate is more correct." ”

The others also giggled and applauded.

In fact, before Su Changqing came, they talked about it almost, and the project was basically determined, but everyone was not satisfied with the title.

Wang Shuo's original work is that it is a bit ruffian, and the script of the small steel cannon is called.

It's obviously a name for the streets.

Everyone understands that a good name is half the battle, and everyone has been brainstorming for a long time.

Xiao Gangcang is very persistent in good dreams, and suggested that he call, but everyone still does not approve.

Later, Director Feng wrote an autobiography called, which is still a heart-wrenching sentence that changes the soup without changing the medicine.

Wang Shuo suggested that he had lost his level a bit.

Director Han also mentioned: "What do you think of the name?"

Of course, this is not very good, and I thought it was educating people again when I looked at the name.

It's about everyone's wallets, and no one is attached to the factory this time.

Although there is only a difference of more than ten years, Su Changqing still can't fully understand the thinking of these people, obviously making products to make money from the audience, why do they put on a posture of dedication?

Isn't this film called, why didn't anyone hurry up and bring it up, it's really urgent, Lao Tzu still has a lot of things to do.

However, the footsteps of history have never approached, and everyone has been discussing for a long time, which makes Su Changqing anxious.

Director Han asked him again: "Changqing, what do you think?"

Su Changqing coughed and ended history: "Since the plot is provided in accordance with the contract, what do you think?"

This is the true fulfillment of you and the cultivation of me.
