This feeling of being hit with money is really good. At least it shows that Qin Xiaobao has that value and the capital to be hit with money.
If it had been in the past, he would have said it without hesitation.
Make money, 10 million, you would be a fool if you refuse.
But now, he nodded in no hurry.
The more films he made, the more Qin Xiaobao understood how difficult it was to be a director. The 2.7 billion box office of two films did not inflate him. If he were not familiar with the plot of the film, it would be hard to say what the final film would be like.
As my understanding of film shooting increases, I also know the doorways inside and how deep the water is.
There are only a few pure gunfight movies in a year now. There are reasons why people don’t make them. The first reason is that the previous level was too high and it was difficult to surpass. The second reason is that the audience’s taste has changed. The most important thing is the script.
A good script determines the success or failure of the work to a large extent in advance.
There is nothing wrong with making money. Qin Xiaobao wants to make money smartly and without pressure.
Compared with the evaluation of the outside world, I know very well how much I weigh.
It's like playing chess with someone. Qin Xiaobao knows the rules. In the previous game, he turned on the computer. When the opponent played a game, he clicked one on the computer and copied it directly.
If you bring in a new script, you have to do it yourself, so you can imagine how risky it is.
Qin Xiaobao is not stupid. The works in his head can be photographed until he is seventy years old. There is no need to take risks without being prepared.
Ten million is indeed a lot. If the filming is successful, word-of-mouth revenue and box office revenue will be three harvests.
But it's not like eating and drinking, just opening your mouth.
He really has no confidence, and the consequences are too serious.
If this film is a success, I guess all kinds of negative news will definitely not be able to stop it, especially since the filming time is very sensitive.
There is definitely nothing wrong with "Let the Bullets Fly". The other party who chose this time period probably wanted to take advantage of the east wind and take advantage.
If you do post-production and shoot at the same time, the film will be a hit on the street. As a director, you cannot absolve yourself of the blame.
"Mr. Chen!" After thinking a lot, Qin Xiaobao made a decision: "I am very happy and honored to receive your recognition and invitation, but Mr. Chen, I probably have to refuse.
As you know, the shooting of my new film has just been completed, and there is still a lot of post-production work.
With hundreds of millions of investments, the funders are all watching. If there is anything wrong with such a luxurious cast, I will definitely take the blame.
In addition, there is another thing I don’t know that you don’t understand, about the magic show.
I joined the school as an auditor the year before last, studying in the directing department. Last year, the school made an exception and accepted me as a formal student. It can be said that I withstood a lot of pressure, and some media netizens also raised doubts.
In order to film "Let the Bullets Fly", I basically didn't have any classes last year, and the dean of the department even called me.
Having just become a formal student, being absent from school for such a long time had too many negative impacts on the school, so after finishing my studies, I have already made an agreement with them that this year I will focus on my studies."
Qin Xiaobao talked a lot, and Chen Qiang and the others understood.
Just refuse, and refuse in a very smart way.
Is it a magic trick? Nonsense.
It is no secret that Qin Xiaobao has no academic qualifications. Being able to study in Magic Theater and obtain a formal diploma is self-evident to his personal importance.
On the other hand, compared with a film school, an individual is always small. He proposed to study hard and make progress every day, which is understandable.
The school gave him face, and he must repay it.
"Besides, I'm not good at gunfight-type movies, but a director from Xiangjiang is more suitable, as he specializes in his craft."
Chen Qiang did not hide the regret on his face, nor did he give up completely: "Director Qin, if not, I will send the script to your email later, take a look at it first, and then decide what to do next?"
Now that the words have come to this, Qin Xiaobao can't say anything more, let alone refuse directly.
If we all hang out in the same circle and don't look up or down, there may be opportunities for cooperation in the future. There is no need to make it too tense because of this matter, which is not worth it.
After the business was finished, the other party didn't stay much longer. After a few polite words, he said goodbye and left.
The three of them finished seeing everyone off and sat back down again.
"Tsk, aren't you excited about the 10 million yuan salary?" Xiang Yang crossed his legs.
"I'm excited, why not?" Qin Xiaobao said truthfully: "But I don't have much confidence in shooting gun battles. If I pounce, it won't be worth the loss."
"What a pity, it's a pretty good job." Liu Minghua sighed.
"Hey," Qin Xiaobao suddenly had an idea: "I made a mistake."
"What's wrong?" The two of them didn't understand.
"I don't want to take pictures, but there are still people in our company."
"Director Wang!"
"Yes, Director Wang!" Qin Xiaobao nodded: "Why did you forget him? It shouldn't be."
"Is it possible?" Xiang Yang asked.
"Why not?" Qin Xiaobao looked at him: "He has much more experience than me. Without him, I would have made a few movies, but it would have taken a lot more effort.
He is very serious and responsible in his work and also has ideas.
The only drawback is that I don’t have much fame, so I don’t know if the other party will like me or not.”
Qin Xiaobao had promised before that he would let the fat director direct a movie independently. If there was investment from others to practice his skills, it would be an opportunity not to be missed.
"Okay, I'll sort out the information about Director Wang right away, and then make an appointment with Mr. Chen to see if I can get an interview opportunity." Liu Minghua quickly made a decision.
"Well, you can highlight his role in these movies of mine. By the way, talk to the previous actors and give him some packaging." Qin Xiaobao gave suggestions.
Human beings are considered a different kind of product. In addition to being strong, they must also be able to sell them.
The fat director is really good at his job, but he is too honest and doesn't know much about what's going on. This is why he has been working as an assistant director for so many years and has no chance to become a full-time director.
"Why don't you give me his phone number, Mr. Liu, and I'll call him right now."
"Are you too anxious? Why don't you read the script first?"
"Too."
Chen Qiang was very fast. In the afternoon, he received an electronic version of the movie script in his mailbox.
"Bodyguard A Lang", the title looks like a Hong Kong movie from the 1980s, Qin Xiaobao spent an entire afternoon watching it carefully.
What can I say, there is no surprise, no surprise, the story of the bodyguard and the female star, in the end they kill everyone, and the beauty returns home.
There is also a particularly bloody plot in which the heroine’s father is the hero’s enemy.
When I watched it, I got goosebumps on my arms.
If it's well shot, it's fun, with all kinds of exciting fights and explosions, it's hard to get a high rating, it's a popcorn-style work.
Just because he doesn't like it doesn't mean others don't want it.
So I took the initiative to call Chen Qiang and told him to recommend me as an assistant director.
Mr. Chen is very polite, okay, we can take some time to chat.
As for the fat director, he was naturally so happy that he went straight to the script, studied it carefully, and prepared for the interview.
