Chapter 313 The perfect script for the return of all poisons!
Pei Qian thought about it for a moment, but still felt that he couldn't take this risk.
It is best to deceive Feihuang Studio into spending a lot of money and let them come up with their own ideas and scripts. This way, the probability of losing money is the highest!
Therefore, Pei Qian avoided talking about Huang Sibo's expectations and took the topic elsewhere.
"There's no need to worry about creativity."
"Don't many famous directors write scripts as they go on set?"
"I believe Director Zhu Xiaoce can do it too!"
"The key is that as a film and television studio that has been established for nine months and relies on Tenda Group, it is still struggling to make some short video dramas and make money through casual meals and online stores. It is too naive.
Ambitious!"
Huang Sibo opened his mouth and subconsciously wanted to refute.
What happened to nine months since its establishment? Is nine months a long time?
Many film and television studios close down within half a year, not to mention nine months. Feihuang Studio has been open for nine months now. Although the videos it shoots have both losses and profits, most of them have been well received. This result is not bad.
Okay!
But looking at Mr. Pei opposite, Huang Sibo felt that he was embarrassed to say these words.
Indeed, think about how many good games Tenda has made in nine months!
Compared with Tenda, Feihuang Studio's current achievements are indeed somewhat insignificant.
No wonder Mr. Pei is disappointed with Feihuang Studio.
Huang Sibo felt a little ashamed and said: "Then... Mr. Pei, do you think Feihuang Studio should try to make some formal movies?"
Pei Qian nodded: "That's right. Short videos have been shot, documentaries have been shot, and the abilities of the director and staff are all good. What are you still hesitating about?"
Huang Sibo frowned slightly: "Uh... the budget is not enough?"
Pei Qian smiled slightly: "If the budget is small, just make low-cost movies. If you are really short of money, you can ask me directly. How big a deal is it?"
Huang Sibo was a little embarrassed: "This... budget is actually only one reason..."
"Mr. Pei, it's not that I'm too conservative. The point is, making short videos and making big movies are not the same thing at all!"
Huang Sibo began to tell Pei Qian the secrets involved.
"The Daily Life of Mr. Pei" is only a few minutes long, and "A Day in the Life of the Great Inventor" is a lot longer, but it is only ten minutes long, and the longest episode is only half an hour.
But if it is a serious movie and it wants to be released in theaters, it will only take 90 minutes.
On the surface it looks like the duration is just doubled, but in fact the difference is huge.
A short video of a few minutes can be put together with various funny jokes. The whole story can be messy and scattered. As long as it can make the audience laugh, it is considered a success.
But for a 90-minute movie, it's definitely not enough to make the audience laugh.
To make an excellent movie, the story must be complete and the audience's emotions must be well controlled, which is much more difficult than short videos.
Just a few laughs cannot support the reputation of a big movie.
Many big movies that were made based on the popularity of online dramas have failed in word-of-mouth, precisely because the creative team simply does not have the hard power to make big movies well, and simply understands big movies as "extended version of online short dramas", so
Only then was he beaten into the street.
"So, Mr. Pei, if you want to make a serious movie, the risks involved are too great!"
“If you’re not completely sure, it’s best not to take the risk.”
"At least, there must be a good script, right?"
Huang Sibo said it very sincerely.
Pei Qian also fell silent.
It seems that Huang Sibo knows a lot!
But to put it this way, Pei Qian wants to film it even more!
What Mr. Pei likes is the high probability of this thing hitting the street!
Of course, then again, Pei is always a very kind person. Since it is a very risky thing and can easily fail, Huang Sibo and Zhu Xiaoce must not be blamed for it.
As the saying goes, if I don't go to hell, who will.
Of course, Mr. Pei has to shoulder this responsibility himself!
Pei Qian thought for a moment and said, "In that case, this movie is funded by Tengda, and I will figure out the script. You and Director Zhu Xiaoce only need to be responsible for the filming."
In this way, if the movie fails, the blame will be placed on Mr. Pei, and Tengda's money will be the loser, which will not affect the mentality of Feihuang Studio employees.
Huang Sibo was stunned and said quickly: "Mr. Pei, you misunderstood. I'm not afraid of taking the blame, just because..."
Pei Qian smiled and waved his hand: "I understand."
"You are now the CEO of Feihuang Studio. You should be responsible for the projects under your control, assess risks as much as possible, and ensure the profitability of the studio. This is right."
"You can simply regard this shooting mission as an exercise opportunity, and it can also pave the way for Feihuang Studio to enter the film and television industry."
Huang Sibo's eyes were moist.
move!
He could tell that Mr. Pei was worried that if Feihuang Studio failed, it would undermine his and Director Zhu Xiaoce's confidence, so he took the initiative to invest and bear the risk of failure!
Regardless of whether the final film is a success or a failure, Feihuang Studio will definitely accumulate a lot of experience during the filming process and accelerate the studio's growth.
Huang Sibo had a lot to say, but he felt that saying too many words of thanks to Mr. Pei was a bit too external.
In the end, thousands of words turned into one sentence of thank you.
"Then it's up to Mr. Pei's arrangement. Feihuang Studio will definitely cooperate and successfully complete the shooting task!"
"Also, Mr. Pei, Feihuang Studio can't let all your work go in vain. We are offering 100,000 yuan to buy your script. It's not a lot of money, but it's our sincere intention. Don't refuse."
Huh? Spend 100,000 on a script?
Pei Qian originally said it casually, but when he heard the number 100,000, he immediately became energetic.
"OK!"
"I'll give you the first draft of the script in two days!"
What an unexpected surprise!
A similar saucy operation had already been done before when filming "The Daily Life of Mr. Pei". Pei Qian made a cameo as an actor, "I played myself" and made a lot of money.
But this time, Pei Qian discovered a new way to make money.
Be a screenwriter!
There is a huge gap between the upper and lower price limits for screenwriters in the market. Top screenwriters can earn six figures for a single episode, while some new screenwriters may only be paid a few thousand or tens of thousands for a single episode, and they have to make repeated revisions day and night.
.
This 100,000 yuan remuneration should be within the reasonable range according to the system's judgment, and is not considered a malicious attempt to obtain system funds.
As for Pei Qian, he doesn't need to write the script in detail, he just needs to provide an idea.
All in all, perfect!
The two chatted for a few more words, and then Huang Sibo stood up and left.
Now that he has decided to officially make a movie, Huang Sibo's work enthusiasm has been fully mobilized.
After returning to Feihuang Studio, he still had a lot of work to do, and the most important thing was to replenish manpower.
…
After Huang Sibo left, Pei Qian opened the document and started writing the script.
Pei Qian knows nothing about movie scripts.
But since this manuscript is worth 100,000 yuan, it must be arranged properly.
There’s no need to draft, just open the document and start working!
“First, decide on the theme!”
Pei Qian typed the word "science fiction" on the document without hesitation.
Science fiction genres cost a lot of money and are easily scolded. They are an area prone to bad movies, which is very consistent with the general trend of box office failure.
Choosing a science fiction theme is already half the battle!
Secondly, there is a general outline of the story.
Half an hour later.
There is still only the word "science fiction" on the document.
Pei Qian sighed silently. Damn it, he didn't seem to be this material at all...
What he originally wanted to do was to write a random rubbish story that insulted the audience's intelligence, but when he actually started writing, he realized that it was not that easy to write a rubbish story...
At this time, Pei Qian really hoped that he could recall the story outlines of those bad movies.
Unfortunately, Pei Qian is not actually an avid movie lover, and his film viewing experience is very shallow.
Moreover, he is very averse to bad movies and never goes to premieres. As long as the movie's reputation is low, he will never buy a ticket.
Therefore, Pei Qian can't remember the specific plots of those bad movies at all, and naturally has no way to draw materials at this time.
I wrote one line of text on the document, deleted one line, and in the end there was only the word "science fiction".
Pei Qian scratched his head.
"It definitely won't work this way. You have to change your thinking a little bit."
"Well... I can write it backwards!"
Pei Qian suddenly thought of a good way.
Whether you are making movies, writing, or making games, their cores are all the same.
If you want to make a good movie, the most important thing is to determine what the audience wants to see.
On the other hand, if you want to make a movie that hits the street, wouldn't it be enough to make something that the audience doesn't want to watch?
The plots of many bad movies are very empty and make people sleepy after watching them. Although this is a good idea, it is not very practical.
What bothers Pei Qian now is mainly some specific plots of this movie.
By first determining some specific plots and then filling the script with water, you can achieve the effect of the plot being empty, boring, and drowsy.
So, what kind of plot is annoying?
Pei Qian couldn't help but think of a concept in the Internet.
Poisonous!
The so-called poisonous points are plots that make readers feel uncomfortable. For example, licking a dog is a big poisonous point.
Thinking of this, Pei Qian was very satisfied and added a new line under "Science Fiction" and wrote: "The male protagonist is a licker."
As the saying goes, if you lick a dog, you will not die well.
If the male protagonist succeeds in licking the heroine in the end, then the toxicity of the story will definitely be greatly reduced.
So Pei Qian started another line and wrote: "Lick the dog until there is nothing left."
After thinking about it, it seems that this plot is not cruel enough.
"The male protagonist was cheated."
"The child is not his."
"The male protagonist wants to raise this child, but the child hates him very much."
"After a series of blows, the male protagonist collapsed and decided to take revenge on society."
Pei Qian thought for a while and felt something was wrong: "...No, the male protagonist cannot retaliate against society. After all, he is a coward."
Pei Qian doesn't want to make this movie into a superhero movie, like "Cuckold". If he accidentally wins an award abroad, something big will happen.
"After a series of blows, the male protagonist collapsed and chose to commit suicide."
Pei Qian still felt bad: "Well... if you commit suicide, it will be a plot plot after all. It is inappropriate to follow the old path of traditional tragedy."
"The male protagonist spent the rest of his life in such frustration."
Pei Qian thought for a while: "It doesn't seem very good, it's a bit too bland. It would be better to give the hero a little hope at the end that all the hardships will be rewarded, and then ruthlessly extinguish it for him."
But what kind of small hope was it, and how was it extinguished?
Pei Qian doesn't have any good ideas yet.
But he wasn't in a hurry. Anyway, he could write the script in two or three days.
Just as he was about to close the document, Pei Qian thought of something else and made the word "science fiction" bold.
Don’t forget that this is a science fiction theme.
In order to spend more money on props and special effects, the story must reflect some science fiction elements.
Of course, what kind of science fiction elements are specifically reflected...
Let’s talk tomorrow.
Pei Qian read the current plot framework from beginning to end with satisfaction, and almost died from poison.
Extremely poisonous, absolutely poisonous!
After this set of plot, it can be said that all poisons have returned to the clan, and there are really many major poisonous points.
At that time, we just need to enrich the storyline, wrap it up with a layer of science fiction, and inject a little more water into the plot...
Let’s live together!
"Hey, I'm really a wicked person."
Pei Qian feels that he seems to have a talent for making bad movies!
I really should have entered the film industry sooner!
