Chapter 40: No Money to Play
After the end, the two blocked the back door, took Hu Ji, Xu Fan and Chen Xiaoyi to find a place to eat hot pot.
At the square table, Hu Ji and Su Changqing naturally sat on a bench, and the other three girls looked at each other meaningfully and smiled.
Su Changqing performed a la carte clip for everyone to brush open the cap of the beer bottle, and the three girls were amazed by the fact that they opened four bottles in a row.
Hu Ji didn't like it very much: "Don't you always play these heart-pounding tricks, okay?"
Su Changqing poured wine for everyone with a smile, and Liu Bei poured wine for him.
"Hehe, Director Su, someone is starting to control you. β
The beard does not change color, and it is very calm.
Regarding this low-cost fashion drama, Su Changqing's opinion is: "It can be filmed, and it is not difficult to mix up the cost with a million investment, but if you follow their script, it must be a bad drama, it can't be worse, we can't do that kind of work, and we can't afford to lose that person." β
Liu Bei: "Then what do you mean?"
Su Changqing: "I have to rethink a script, it must be about fashion, and it can also reflect their industry predicament, after the script is satisfied, those small entrepreneurs can invest their money, they can't interfere with creation, and I will give them a good movie at that time." β
Since you want to cooperate, the good and ugly things are said in front, don't stuff the actors to change the plot after filming, no one will serve this money.
Liu Bei: "But after all, there is only one million investment, and it is difficult to produce high-quality products." β
"A lot of expenses can be saved, I have a fashion designer and a model, but they are secondary," he knocked on the boiler and gathered the eyes of the four girls: "There is no money to shoot without money, I can finish this scene in half a month, let's play some pioneers, so that everyone is refreshed, be careful."
Are the four of you interested in using your spare time to get this done together?"
"To what extent?"
"The box office is a big hit, the Ministry of Culture and the Ministry of Commerce will take any awards, as for the professional awards, don't be too anxious, it's not fun to be in a high place after you are so young and have won it. β
"Sounds good. β
With an investment of millions, I haven't read the script yet, except for Liu Bei, the other three girls haven't expressed their position, but I'm curious: "So sure of the results?"
Others can still question and brag when they say this kind of thing, Su Changqing's ability reputation came out when he was in school, although he did not direct "The Princess's Decision" in the end, but the chief planner is even more awesome.
After a few beers, the girls were full of peach blossoms, Su Changqing was pleasing to the eye, and his spirits were lifted, and he was a little stinky: "If you can't pay attention to the noodles in a small-budget movie, you have to tell a good story, who loves to watch the story of a thick-eyed entrepreneur and a stinky and hard-tempered female designer who loves and has a double harvest in her career, and the capitalist makes money to pick up girls and moans without illness, and the audience will be bored." β
"You're right, "Seahorse Cabaret" has been filmed in the late stage, and several main creators are also aware of this problem, are ordinary audiences really interested in those petty-bourgeois stories that happen in the glamour?"
Chen Xiaoyi first agreed with Su Changqing's opinion, the broadcast effect of the drama she starred in was quite embarrassing.
Su Changqing nodded: "Let's not engage in any vain heads, just tell a humorous story with black dots, this is what I am good at, it can be about the struggle and pathos of small people, but it has to be a comedy, the beauties are like clouds of jokes, and it is easy to tickle the audience's flesh." β
The specific plot can't be patted on the head, it all comes out, this has to be carefully designed, and if there are many leading actors, a few short stories will be arranged, and then strung together.
This is very important, the actress cares a lot about the number of seats she participates in, so she simply divides it equally.
"If it's fashion, Xu Fan and I are not suitable for modeling. Chen Xiaoyi put forward it realistically.
"There are more than just models in fashion dramas, don't worry, I'll arrange the plot. β
Su Changqing finally said: "After the script comes out, I will show you, if you are satisfied, you can use your spare time to complete it, if you are not satisfied, I can modify it to satisfaction, and the rest of the characters can be made cameos by relatives and friends, and it is not a dream to have a low-cost all-star lineup." β
Liu Bei promised: "As long as the book is good and related to fashion, I can convince those entrepreneurs to accept it, and they have to respect the artist's creation." β
Su Changqing also promised to take out a considerable part of the million production fee as a salary, which is also quite attractive.
"In addition, some resources of "The Princess's Decision" can be shared, so if you can't do it, you can pay them some money, and you can save some money anyway. β
Hu Ji reminded: "It's not in line with the rules of the industry to do this, and no one wants their scenes to be reused." β
"How do you talk about children," Chen Xiaoyi glanced at Hu Ji: "That drama has an investment of 10 million, if there is no director Su to plan the Sino-French joint venture, it will be a loss, those people are too late to thank him, and if the scene is modified from a different angle, you can't see it, how can you use it, not to mention a costume and a fashion." β
The news in the circle spread quickly, and she knew all the gossip.
In fact, Su Changqing just said that, and there is no resource sharing in the book.
Liu Bei was curious: "I heard that before the start of filming, the four-dimensional studio was urgently divided into two, you were promoted from director to chief planner, and the original producer Du Keke set up another Tianyan studio, and everyone in the circle is speculating about what kind of international advanced operation this is, in order to avoid taxes?"
Su Changqing smiled and didn't answer, it seems that it is right to leave early, the circle has always been a treacherous place, gathering the most active minds and the most sinister hearts, once the market war starts, sooner or later they will expose each other.
The Simon siblings, Ding Jialuo, and many other returnees underestimated the IQ and learning ability of the Chinese people, and many of them fell on the road.
Anyway, after persuasion, Su Changqing, the wheel of history, can't stop it.
It was almost midnight after eating the hot pot, and everyone made an excuse to leave first, leaving Su Changqing to send Hu Ji.
Hu Ji was a little dissatisfied: "What are these people doing, living in a dormitory but leaving me first, it's too deliberate." β
This man is naΓ―ve and speaks in a unique style.
Su Changqing joked: "It seems that I was too inappropriate and misunderstood by everyone." β
Hu Ji was not polite: "That's it." β
The hot pot restaurant was not far from Renyi, and the two walked back.
On the way, Hu Ji asked: "Why don't you stop directing "The Princess's Decision"?"
I already explained it last time, Su Changqing had to say it again: "These are all technical adjustments for commercial reasons, and I am responsible for the overall planning, which can better ensure the level of this film." β
"These are all diplomatic rhetoric, my father likes to talk like this," Hu Ji glanced at Su Changqing: "I asked Jia Luo." β
"What did she say?"
"She said that she didn't know much about the operation between you and Du Keke," Hu Ji glanced at Su Changqing again: "You are ready for everything to start filming soon, and even asked Ximen Ying to contact the French co-production, but for some reason suddenly insisted on giving the director to Du Keke." β
Feeling that this was to splash dirty water, Su Changqing was a little surprised: "Oh?"
"She said maybe there was a deal between you, and that you had been living in Ducoco's house for two months. β
This lack of virtue is not good at screenwriting, but he has a hand in making up nonsense, which implies that he has done Du Keke.
Su Changqing was a little angry, and he wanted to shake everything out, if it was Su Changqing of the first generation, this matter would not have happened, he would be the same as Du Keke, he would not consider the rights and wrongs at all, the money is so difficult to earn, who thinks about this.
But now it's different, Uncle just doesn't want to be with others anymore, I like it, I do.
The life of a generation is to the west, so this time it is to the east, I am proud, I am proud.
But he couldn't say it, and finally said coldly: "I chose to be estranged because I couldn't get used to their self-made smart faces, and it was also for the sake of the brothers' wallets not shrinking and the quality of this drama could be guaranteed, so I reluctantly stayed and planned." β
Unexpectedly, Hu Ji nodded quickly: "I knew that Jia Luo was lying, as long as she was panicked, she would explain things in great detail, since she was a child." β
A girlfriend is a girlfriend, and if you don't accept it, you can't do it.
Saying that, she looked at Su Changqing and seemed to have something to look forward to.
Su Changqing understood, so he had to say it clearly: "The most important reason why I stayed is of course for you, I pulled you into this drama, and I have to accompany you from the beginning to the end." β
Hu Ji nodded in satisfaction, as if to say, "I think so." β
