Chapter 74 'The First Half of the Life of the Legendary Gambler Zhang Jiuliang'
"Why do you want to write your own script?" Jiang Bei asked suspiciously.
Liangliang pouted, held the candy paper airplane in her hand, and replied in a low voice: "I just want to save our inn."
Save the inn?
Except for the lack of business, everything seems to be going well in the inn. There is no need to save it.
Business……
Jiang Bei suddenly felt enlightened and asked: "Do you want to write a story with the inn as the background?"
Liangliang nodded instantly when she heard the words, and explained with her fingers: "If we write the inn into the script and then film it, we can attract many, many guests to come and have fun and eat like those film and television cities. By then, the business of the inn will definitely be
It’s going to be great!”
"We are all going for bad movies, how can we expect any popularity?" Jiang Bei shook his head, not optimistic about this promotion.
Liangliang's suggestion is actually very good. This movie itself is not just about making money and making it good.
If we can effectively stop losses while we are destined to lose money, promote the Mood Inn and build a reputation, and then attract the audience to come for sightseeing and experience the location where the film was shot, it may not be a bad thing.
After all, when Li Youqing retires from the entertainment industry, their family of three will shift their focus to the catering industry. It is okay to make arrangements in advance now.
However, the premise of all this is that the movie must be successful, at least it cannot be the kind of bad movie that is removed from the shelves within half a day of release. Otherwise, no one will even watch the movie. How can anyone know about the advertisement you planted in it?
However, Liangliang had a different opinion and retorted: "Brother, you can't treat mosquitoes as meat just because they are small! Our inn is like this now, so why do we need bicycles? It's better than nothing if we can bring in one guest.
ah!"
"And even if it's a bad movie, it will be removed from the shelves within half a day of being released, but it can be broadcast on video websites. Then the whole network can watch it for free, so it will have some effect, right?"
"We can even ask my sister-in-law to post on Weibo to promote the show before it is released, and then we can take advantage of the popularity to expose the filming location in advance, attract curious people, and kill them first... ah! Serve first.
They wave."
Maybe she said too much at once, so Liang Liang picked up the tea on the table and drank it all in one gulp. The bitterness of the oolong tea instantly caused an emoticon to appear on her face.
Jiang Bei handed over the White Rabbit candy in his hand and said thoughtfully: "Then what kind of story do you want to write?"
Liangliang tore open the candy wrapper and ate the toffee to relieve the bitterness in her mouth. After hearing this, she stood up and took off a straw hat hanging on the wall and put it on her head. She pressed it down slightly and said in a deep voice: "Legendary gambling king Zhang Jiuliang"
The first half of my life..."
Jiang Bei twitched: "Do you think this is an autobiography?"
"Hehe..." Liangliang took off his hat and smiled modestly: "I can't talk about an autobiography. I just want to realize my dream."
"Does this story have something to do with the inn?"
Jiang Bei thinks it doesn't matter if he realizes his dream or something. The key point is that since the inn is mentioned, it must be written around this theme. In the first half of the legendary gambling king's life, the inn is a place to eat, not a gambling hall.
"Of course it does matter, you see that's how I set it."
Slowly, Liangliang slowly told the story she had set:
"In the 32nd year of Daqing, Zhang Jiuliang, who was only 16 years old, went down the mountain to travel around the world to meet friends through gambling. During this period, he traveled in Daqing for 30,000 miles and was invincible. He was revered as the King of Gambling by the world.
In the Daqing Kingdom, there is also a gambling saint with extraordinary gambling skills. Her name is Li Youqing.
In order to compete for the title of Daqing's supreme gambling king, Zhang Jiuliang and Li Youqing had a decisive battle on the top of the Forbidden City.
The gambling process was very intense, with both sides winning a round of poker and dice, and the decisive round was decided by Pai Gow.
In the end, Zhang Jiuliang, who had deepened his luck, had extraordinary talents, and had never lost before, held the "Supreme Treasure" in his hand and defeated the gambling saint Li Youqing, and successfully won the title of Supreme.
However, the gambling sage Li Youqing was not convinced and had evil intentions. He secretly shot nine poisonous needles in an attempt to kill Zhang Jiuliang.
Zhang Jiuliang was careless and was stabbed by eight of the poisonous needles. He was so poisoned that he had no choice but to run for his life.
After escaping several times, Zhang Jiuliang came to Xiuhua Town, Anshan County, where he fell in front of an inn and was rescued by the innkeeper.
In order to repay the innkeeper for saving his life, Zhang Jiuliang decided to stay and help the owner run the inn.
The name of this inn is Mood Inn!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Liang Liang looked at Jiang Bei impatiently and asked, "How was it? Isn't it exciting?"
"Well..."
When Jiang Bei heard this, he couldn't help but joked: "Have you put all your dreams in the script?"
What kind of luck is deepening, talent is extraordinary, and I have never lost...
This is completely untrue when it comes to Zhang Jiuliang.
"Brother, I suspect you are insulting the gambling king of Ancheng!" Liang Liang puffed up his face and said solemnly.
"Well... this script is not suitable, how about we change it." Jiang Bei rubbed Liang Liang's little head and said cheerfully.
"Isn't this story well written enough?" Liang Liang shook his head and asked dissatisfiedly.
"Okay, but just because it's so good, we have to change it to be a little bit worse. This way we can make sure it's a bad movie when we shoot it."
What Jiang Bei said is indeed correct.
If we really follow Liangliang’s idea of shooting, it’s hard to say whether the result will be good or bad.
At least from the plot point of view, there are conflicts, reversals and suspense. If it were refined to make Zhang Jiuliang lose his memory, it would be a bit like the God of Gamblers played by Fa Ge in his previous life.
So you can't gamble.
Must be replaced.
"This is already my lowest level, you still want me to change?" Liangliang expressed her embarrassment upon hearing this.
"Well..." Jiang Bei simply ignored her bragging and fell into deep thought.
In fact, after hearing this story, a movie that was derived from the success of the TV series like "Love Apartment" popped into his mind.
A very suitable movie to be embedded in "Mood Inn".
That is "Wulin Gaiden Movie Version".
Speaking of this movie, it was actually very controversial in its previous life.
On the one hand, under the background of the time, the movie earned nearly 200 million in box office, which was considered a successful movie.
But on the other hand, this movie is also considered by most viewers to be a bad movie made up of all kinds of messy jokes, relying on emotions to make the audience buy it.
In fact, it only has a rating of 6.4 on Douban.
It's somewhere between a bad movie and watchable.
Jiang Bei feels that if there was no emotion from the TV series in it, the movie might not even have a 6-point rating, let alone a box office of close to 200 million.
And unlike the previous life, there is no TV series version of "Wulin Gaiden" in this world. If this script is chosen for filming, then it will be a simple "Mood Inn" story.
Under such circumstances, it is simply impossible to get the audience to pay for the movie.
Of course, the script must also be changed to make it worse.
Even labels can be posted randomly. Suspense films, commercial films, etc. can be put on it. How can it make the audience feel bad?
Thinking of this, Jiang Bei pulled Liang Liang away and whispered: "How about we start from the end of your story and go through the daily life of the employees of the 'Mood Inn'?"
Liangliang tilted her head and thought for a while, then said: "I can't write about daily life..."
"Here, go get your notebook. I'll make an outline first, and then you can fill in the plot. This counts as your writing, okay?"
"ah?"
"no?"
"Okay, okay, but the laptop is out of battery, otherwise let's write by hand..."
"Where did the computer go?"
"Tiedan from Xiuhua Village was admitted to college. He wanted a laptop, but his family was too poor to afford it. I thought he was pitiful, so I deliberately ##guessing and lost to him."
