Liu Chong came to the conference room, saw the three scripts placed on the table, and asked: "Is this the script you carefully selected?"
"Mr. Liu, we have watched these three movies, one is a comedy, one is a romance, and one is a military movie. These three movies are all movies with a market foundation, and these three genres have produced the most hits. Among them, comedy is the most popular.
It’s safe. We have read the script of this comedy. The quality is absolutely high. We spent 500,000 to buy it. The love script tells the story of the love between two people from the lower classes. It is deep and the quality is second to none, but this kind of film is generally not well-received.
It won't make a lot of money, but it can build a good reputation for our company, so we bought it for 300,000 yuan. The last one is military... The author seems to be writing about his own personal experience...
I think if this was made into a movie, it would probably be a very good quality movie, with plot, rhythm, passion, and a sense of immersion. Once this kind of movie is made, the box office ceiling will be extremely high, but this kind of movie will have a very high box office limit.
Filming is difficult and requires a lot of funds, but we bought the script for only 100,000. Now, it depends on Mr. Liu, which one do you want to start first?"
Liu Chong didn't speak, he just looked at the script in his hand quietly. There were three scripts in his hand. He read the comedy and romance first. The comedy had a lot of laughs. If he could invite a very famous comedian, the director would be a fool.
If it is filmed, it will have a box office of one billion.
Then there is this romance film, the love of the lower class is very deep, it analyzes the current living conditions of the lower class and the choices between love and survival between them.
There is depth, but this kind of relatively depressing romance film is destined to be well-received but not a hit. More importantly, no matter how deep it is, it will not be as popular as those truly excellent deep-rooted films at various film award festivals.
It's a bit less interesting than that, but it can be taken, but not now.
Until the end, Liu Chong picked up the script of "Warrior". When he saw the name, Liu Chong was stunned.
"Warrior? Is it that novel about anti-narcotics police? I remember that novel was called Warrior."
"That's right, the screenwriter said that he was the original author of the novel, and he tried to write the script himself. The quality of the script is very good, and he deserves to be an author." The employee in charge of receiving the manuscript praised.
When the script is opened and the concise writing appears on the paper, it brings Liu Chong a kind of enjoyment.
There is not a single nonsense word in the whole script, and the reading fluency is surprisingly good. Of course, this does not mean that those scripts that are complicated to write are not good scripts, but those kind of scripts are really uncomfortable to watch.
When he saw the shot script of the soldier, Liu Chong could see the sweat on his forehead. This shot script lacked one word in each sentence and failed to convey the meaning.
Using the simplest language and writing the most exciting and exciting scenes, the quality of this script is already surprisingly high.
When those scenes appeared in Liu Chong's mind, flashed, then appeared again, and flashed again, he seemed to have been in a hail of bullets. The tension and excitement made him breathless. After reading the script, his back
There was already a cold sweat.
"Mr. Liu, what's wrong with you?" the employee under him asked with some confusion.
"It's nothing, I just feel the same way." Liu Chong sighed.
It’s been a long, long time since I’ve been exposed to works with military themes. As a retired soldier, I always have a constant love for the army. After seeing this kind of themes, he couldn’t put it down.
"Then Mr. Liu, shall we shoot soldiers?"
"Let's start the project now, set up a crew, let the original author be the chief screenwriter, and the director will find the best person in the industry to shoot military films. I will provide the funds, no matter how much." Liu Chong said directly and generously.
He doesn't care about big investment, as long as he can see the income.
But for Liu Chong, he still has another goal.
If calculated according to time, Chu Han's movie may not be released until the end of the year. If their movie is approved now, although it is one month later than them, it can still be released by the end of the year with hard work.
Liu Chong has been defeated by Chu Han so many times. It is impossible to say that he has no idea of regaining face.
But how to regain face? The strongest musician has finished playing, Chu Han has become the biggest winner, and has also become the most popular person now.
Qin Guan Qin Lang received a mediocre response and did not write any particularly popular songs. Of course, it was not just Qin Lang, almost the other three mentor guests of the musician were reduced to supporting roles, supporting roles for Chu Han.
In terms of music, Liu Chong admitted that he was no match for Chu Han.
But that's not necessarily true for movies. Chu Han has funds and scripts, and so does Liu Chong. Chu Han has excellent directing ability, and Liu Chong can find excellent directors with money.
As long as there is money, the film industry will definitely be able to spend money and produce a good movie.
Therefore, when it comes to movies, Liu Chong plans to fight to the death with Chu Han. He will release it whenever Chu Han releases it. He insists on comparing the box office with Chu Han, and he will definitely not make it easy for Chu Han.
This may be the only dignity a man has. Anyone who is suppressed so many times by someone who thinks he is weaker than himself will feel unhappy.
If you think about it carefully, from the songs Chu Han released to the movies Chu Han shot, Liu Chong has never won against Chu Han.
You have to win once, even if it’s just one.
...
Chen Qu didn't leave Jiangbei. The other party had already asked him to be a co-screenwriter. Before he could find the hotel, the other party called him again and asked him to be the chief screenwriter.
In fact, it is the same for Chen Qu whether he is the chief screenwriter or a team of screenwriters. He just wants to turn this novel into a film and television work and show it to the public.
He is not a novice, and he still understands some unspoken rules in the film and television industry. He had a conversation with a screenwriter friend who taught him screenwriting, and the other person said that if his script was bought for 50,000 to 100,000, don’t get excited.
I thought that my script was going to be made into a TV series or movie, but it was early. The other party must just want to acquire the copyright. When they saw a good subject matter and good quality, they gave the copyright to the script and waited for it to be used later.
So Chen Qu didn't expect that his script would be selected so quickly. When the other party asked him to be a co-writer, Chen Qu knew that his script had a high probability of being selected. It seems that it was indeed the case.
The hotel hasn't been found yet, and Chen Qu feels a little thirsty. He is over forty this year, a real middle-aged man, but he doesn't even have a girlfriend until now. In addition to writing, his other hobby is drinking tea.
There are many teahouses in Jiangbei. Chen Qu randomly found a teahouse, walked in, sat in the garden, looked at the lake next to him, and drank tea silently.
No one knows what he is thinking, but his eyes are full of stories.
