Chapter 159: Shoot Your Movie Well, We're Going to the Theaters!
Chapter 159: Shoot well, your movie will be released in theaters!
"Brother Li, you have finally finished reading it! Is this script by Qi Ji really so attractive?"
"Yes! Lao Li, you didn't see your entranced look just now! If I had known better, I should have taken a photo of you!"
"Quick, quick, let me see how good Qi Ji's script is!"
"I'll see first! Wait, I'll come first!"
"Me first!"
Su Mo and others started fighting over it!
Li Dacheng rubbed his temples and said, "You will know after you read Qi Ji's book for yourselves!"
Then.
Li Dacheng told Wang Zhe.
Wang Zhe directly printed out three more copies of Qi Ji's script.
Now, there are four people.
"Okay! Now, we don't have to rob!"
"Then let's see who among us finishes it first!"
The room quickly became quiet.
Everyone is carefully reading Qi Ji's script.
It was the first time for Su Mo, the three of them, to see this, and their eyes became straighter and straighter.
As for Li Dacheng, after reading it once, he was still unsatisfied.
I really want to watch "Saw" again.
But he hasn't forgotten why he came to the show.
So, he shook his head slightly and read the scripts of the other three people.
The combined content of the three scripts is as long as "Saw".
Li Dacheng finished reading the three scripts much faster than watching "Saw" alone.
No way, the quality of the script is really not on the same level.
For the script "Saw", Li Dacheng really read it word for word.
And now that I’ve finished watching it, I still want to watch it a second time!
I have read so many scripts over the years, and this is really one of the few times where I feel like I was amazed by the script!
Li Dacheng read the script written by Pi Changjun and others.
Seeing Su Moman Nihong and others sitting next to him, they were also immersed in Qi Ji's script extremely seriously.
He shook his chin slightly.
It seems that I am not the only one who really likes this script written by Qi Ji!
Everyone likes it very much!
This script by Qi Ji is so well written!
At this time, Li Dacheng even couldn't help but feel a touch of jealousy in his heart.
He was jealous of the people sitting next to him.
Because they saw the script of "Saw" after they did.
So at this moment, these three people can still enjoy the happiness of seeing this script.
But I can't do it myself.
Although this script was very surprising to him.
But after all, he had already finished reading the biggest climax of the script.
So at this moment, he is equivalent to entering the time of the sage.
Another half hour passed.
Su Mo and the three of them slowly put down the script one after another.
Everyone's eyes flashed with deep shock!
The script can actually be written like this!?
"Qi Ji is really good as a screenwriter! Let's not talk about his filming skills. His ability to write scripts alone is enough to achieve a very good level in the film and television industry."
"I wonder if you have seen the play "The Beginning" written by Qi Ji? The plot of that play is also very interesting!"
"It seems that Qi Ji is already well versed in the reversal routine! You don't know, when I saw the last part, I really got goosebumps!"
"I kind of regret reading the script in advance! If I had seen the finished film, how comfortable it would have been!"
"Actually, over the years, we have seen many good scripts turned into bad movies, so I still maintain a cautious attitude!"
The four producers spoke to each other one by one.
But in every word, there was praise for Qi Ji's script.
Because this script, no matter what else, the plot itself is really an excellent thriller and suspense book.
If such a book were in the hands of any great director, he would definitely be able to make a very awesome film.
…
The final round of the show has officially begun.
Four directors, including Qi Ji and Pi Changjun, sat on the chairs.
Li Dacheng and four other producers sat across from them.
There is a large wooden table between the two parties.
Man Nihong said: "First of all, congratulations to our four directors for entering the final round of our program! This time, we did not limit everyone's themes."
Li Dacheng nodded: "All four of us have read the scripts sent by the four directors."
Su Mo said: "So... how will we allocate our total 6 million funds?"
Qi Ji pursed his lips slightly.
Of course he is very confident in the script of "Saw".
And in the previous life, the cost of the movie "Saw" was only 1.2 million US dollars.
But the final box office was over 100 million!
So this drama is a very successful drama!
And the funds required are not very large.
If the total is 6 million, his expectation is 2 million!
He has already made a budget with the team.
With 2 million, "Saw" could be filmed.
Because the cost of actors is not included in this amount.
The actors' fees will be settled by the program team!
Pi Changjun gently touched his belly. The notebook he took out during the finals was a literary film.
So the money he needs is not very much.
But the other two directors.
Among them, director Liu Shashan, in this last round, he wants to shoot a science fiction film!
And he asked himself that his script was still very good!
Therefore, the funds he is looking forward to are also 2 million!
Li Dacheng held the list in his hand and said: "Four directors, the four of us have seen the price you are expecting! So based on everyone's cost budget for their own films, plus after we have read the script, we will have an expectation for your film."
A judgment of the film.”
Su Mo said: "Director Pi, we will give you 1 million!"
Pi Changjun nodded slightly and said, "As expected."
Man Nihong and Pi Changjun both filmed Pi Changjun's scenes.
So they are all very familiar with each other.
Li Dacheng immediately laughed and said: "Director Pi, you and I discussed this book four or five years ago, and this time I am finally willing to take it out!"
Qi Ji looked sideways at Pi Changjun.
A little curious.
Pi Changjun said: "There is no way, investors will not invest in this film because there is no way to make any money... This time I just took advantage of the opportunity of this program, and I want to make it!"
As a great director, Pi Changjun has reached his status.
He actually doesn't care much about who wins this show or not.
All he wants is to feel comfortable.
He just wanted to shoot what he wanted to shoot.
Qi Ji admired Pi Changjun's state of mind.
Man Nihong continued: "Director Liu, the amount we allocate to you is also 1 million."
Liu Shashan was originally sitting upright with an expectant look on his face.
But after hearing 1 million, he immediately frowned.
He paused for a few seconds, as if he couldn't believe his ears.
After a pause, he said: "The four producers have seen my book! It's impossible to get it for 1 million!"
Liu Shashan was a little dissatisfied.
But the four producers sitting in front of him were all big guys in front of and behind the scenes, so he didn't dare to speak too harshly, lest he offend others.
Hearing this, Su Mo raised his eyebrows slightly and said calmly: "There are four books in total. To be honest, yours is the least interesting. We did it because you are a science fiction film.
I’ll give you 1 million!”
Su Mo didn't give Liu Shashan any face.
She is a top producer in the industry.
The directors I have worked with are basically at Pi Changjun's level.
What's more, the resources she has at her disposal...whether it's actor resources, fashion resources, film and television dramas, or variety show resources, there are so many.
She didn't take the mere Liu Shashan seriously.
As soon as she said these words, Liu Shashan stared, but he did not dare to say anything more.
Next, the third director still received 1 million.
In other words, Qi Ji alone received 3 million!
A smile suddenly appeared on Qi Ji's face.
If he had 3 million, then he would be more comfortable shooting!
When Pi Changjun learned of the result, he had no complaints, but was quite curious.
I'm curious about what Qi Ji's script looks like, which actually allowed the four producers to make such an exaggerated allocation of funds.
To know.
By allocating funds in this way, it seems that they are optimistic about Qi Ji's script.
But if Qi Ji's film comes out, the audience won't buy it.
By the time.
That is to roast Qi Ji on the fire.
At that time, the audience will definitely say, Qi Ji's script is so bad and the film is so poorly shot, you actually gave him 3 million?
There won’t be any shady stories in this show, right?
A lot of things went through Pi Changjun's mind at once.
But here in Liushashan.
He immediately snorted in dissatisfaction.
He felt that the four producers were causing trouble.
No matter how good Qi Ji's book is, he can get 3 million by himself!?
Li Dacheng saw Liu Shashan's dissatisfaction and explained: "Qi Ji's script is the only one among the four scripts that is a feature film, and the duration will not be less than 90 minutes!"
Man Nihong said: "Moreover, the four of us have unanimously judged that as long as Qi Ji's film can be made well, there is even a possibility of it being released in theaters!"
Su Mo nodded and said, "Yes, that's why we gave Qi Ji the most funds!"
Qi Ji quickly stood up, clasped his hands slightly and thanked the four producers: "Thank you, four bosses, for your support. I will definitely shoot well!"
I saw four producers supporting me so much.
Qi Ji even felt a touch of pressure inexplicably.
Liu Shashan's face still looked very ugly.
But the official recording of the program ended here.
The next recording will be in a month.
After the four people have shot their own films, it will be the ultimate showdown!
…
Qi Ji returned to his lounge and tidied up briefly.
Gu Pingting said excitedly while loading her things: "Boss, your script is really strong! 3 million! You alone are worth three people!"
Qi Ji pretended to be cool: "Calm down, you should get used to this kind of thing if you follow me!"
Gu Pingting sighed: "I just feel...if this session is broadcast, you will be criticized by the audience! After all, even the director only received 1 million!"
Qi Ji laughed and said: "Why are you trolling me? If you want to troll, you have to troll Brother Dacheng and the others! They are all blind and gave me 3 million! I wrote that I expected only 2 million!"
"Why am I blind?" Li Dacheng walked over with a smile.
Qi Ji suddenly scratched his head in embarrassment: "Brother Dacheng!"
Li Dacheng smiled and patted Qi Ji's shoulder and said: "I like "Saw" very much, can I participate in it?"
What he said made Qi Ji very surprised.
What is Li Dacheng's identity?
A movie king level figure!
If he can participate in the show, it will be an absolute plus for this drama!
But Qi Ji immediately thought about money: "Brother, you are very expensive!"
Li Dacheng said softly: "I play Jigsaw, he doesn't have many roles!"
Li Dacheng chuckled: "Even if I'm a special guest, I don't charge any money!"
Qi Ji was still hesitating: "This..."
Man Nihong also walked in and said with a smile: "Director Qi, just agree to Brother Dacheng. If there is no role suitable for me in your script, I will play one!"
Li Dacheng: "Screw you! You went to Director Pi's house! You think I don't know that you took Director Pi's heroine!"
The show has been recorded to the last round.
After seeing it, Li Dacheng and Man Nihong also became addicted to the drama.
So Qi Ji nodded and said: "Okay, this is the role, haha, I'm looking forward to the audience seeing your appearance at the end!"
Jigsaw is the big boss of the "Saw" series.
His appearance in "Saw 1" can be regarded as a classic in film history.
This scene, Li Dacheng, has no doubt that it will become a classic in the history of Chinese film.
so.
This is why he doesn't want money but wants this role.
Over the years, I have read so many scripts.
He knows which scripts have become popular later.
so.
Even his vision in reading scripts is more sinister than many ordinary directors.
So he came directly to Qi Ji and won this role even though it was not the starring role.
For this reason, he even postponed some of his activities in the next month.
He is so optimistic about "Saw"!
Everyone was talking and laughing.
The real producer Su Mo also came over.
She said to Qi Ji seriously: "Director Qi, please shoot well. If the finished film is really good, we will go to theaters directly!"
Her words really spoke to Qi Ji's heart.
Which movie maker doesn't want his movie to be played on the big screen?
"This is a variety show, is it really okay?" Qi Ji was still a little doubtful.
Su Mo said firmly: "Don't forget, the biggest sponsor of our show is Yida!"
Yida is one of the three major cinema chains in China.
The market share exceeds 30%.
The company where Su Mo works is inextricably linked to Yida.
