"In addition, Mr. Xiang and Mr. Gu deliberately sniped under your instruction, and Liying ended up losing more than two million yuan for this film!
The big-budget ghost film "Ghosts in Hell" is still in preparation. Coincidentally, the other party wanted Zhixian to play one of the female ghosts, but Zhixian rejected it. "
"That's right! Let Zhi Xian be the heroine of our movie."
Li Xiucheng's lips curled up slightly, he was very satisfied with Wang Zhixian's performance, but last time Lu Qi said that Liying seemed to have three movies.
"There's another movie about Jiang Hu? How's it going?"
"It's called Jiang Hu Zhan Long, and it's a gangster-themed movie. It's currently being heavily promoted and will be released on May 10th.
It seems that the popularity is quite good, and as long as the movie is not bad, it should make a lot of money. "
Can you make a lot of money?
This is not possible!
Li Xiucheng quickly asked: "May is the peak box office season, there should be many movies to be released, right?"
"Yes, Strange Soldiers directed by Tang Weicheng, Qian Shengwei's The Heavenly Master Caught the Traitor were released on those two days, and there was also a movie about China, Japan, and South starring Zhi Xian. There seem to be a few more, but I can't remember the names clearly.
Anyway, the competition is quite fierce. "
Li Xiucheng frowned. He didn't remember any of these names, and he didn't know if he could snipe down Li Ying's Jianghu Dragon.
Shengyong and Yindu may still be making movies, but they can't always ask others to criticize Li Ying.
This is the disadvantage of not having any works of your own. "
"Tell me, what's the script you got?"
Hearing this, Zhuo Zhuo was shocked and flipped the script with both hands: "This is the Magic Swordsman. It tells the story of a powerful swordsman fighting in the world. There is also an emotional line in the middle. The plot line of this script is simple, but The investment is small and the risk is not high.
This is Braving the Death Gang. This script is set in Hong Kong during the Republic of China. The protagonist is an ordinary person whose family was bullied and killed by a local gang. He apprentices under a martial arts master to seek revenge. The investment is also not big, I would like to invite..."
Li Xiucheng was filled with dark clues and couldn't help but said: "This script is too cliche!"
"Old-fashioned?" Zhuo Zhuo's breath stopped and he hurriedly explained: "No, no, not old-fashioned. Although the main plot is not much different from the movies of the previous two years, some sub-plots and emotional selling points are different."
All right!
Maybe I had read thousands of sails in my previous life and my horizons were a little too high.
Li Xiucheng said noncommittally: "Then there is no main plot that is extraordinary?"
"Yes!" Zhuangzhi spread the last two scripts on his knees.
“Both of these books are police-themed, The Police Eagle and The Exorcist Detective.
The story of "Eagle" is about an undercover police officer in the crime squad. When he was suffering a lot, his girlfriend got married, but he still persisted in his mission and finally destroyed the criminal gang. "
After saying that, he looked at Li Xiucheng's face and saw that he had no expression at all. He suddenly panicked. Could it be that none of the scripts he carefully selected could meet Mr. Li's eyes?
He opened the last script in a panic and said anxiously: "There is also this one. This exorcism police detective is influenced by the popular ghost movies. It mainly tells the story of a police detective who understands mystical magic and solves evil cases. story."
Hearing this, Li Xiucheng finally became interested. In his previous life, he had watched many Xiangjiang movies, among which the supernatural movies were very good.
Especially the supernatural movie starring Lin Daochang is really a masterpiece.
It seems that Taoist Lin is already very famous now, right?
If he can star in his own movie, it means that the box office is guaranteed.
Jinyi Entertainment’s first movie is considered a solid one!
The more he thought about it, the more interesting it seemed to Li Xiucheng, and he directly said: "Exorcism detective!"
ah?
Zhuo Zhuo raised his head in confusion, but couldn't react for a moment.
Li Xiucheng had been silent just now. His heart had sunk to the bottom, thinking that his work was in vain this time.
I'm feeling uncomfortable.
But he didn't want to make a twist, he actually named this script directly.
Seeing that Zhuo Zhuo was so shocked that he couldn't say anything, Li Xiucheng was quite amused and raised his eyebrows and said, "What? You don't want to take the photo? If you don't want to take the photo, then I'll replace it with someone else!"
"No, no, no, I want to shoot, I will shoot!"
Zhuo Zhuo finally came to his senses and nodded his head fiercely, fearing that Li Xiucheng would really be replaced.
At this moment, he felt that every cell in his body was cheering.
Five years!
He can finally take the lead in making a film by himself!
My career is finally about to take off.
"I... let me introduce the content of the script.
There are two supernatural stories in the movie. The first half of the movie is about water ghosts, and the second half is about the temple on the mountain..."
"no!"
Li Xiucheng interrupted him directly and said dissatisfiedly: "A movie is divided into two parts? How serious is the sense of plot separation? What level are you at?"
"No, no, no." Zhuo Zhuo was startled and waved his hands repeatedly: "According to the script, the protagonist and the timeline remain the same. The second story is just that the ghost is replaced by a century-old ghost."
"Stop it!"
Li Xiucheng understood that what this guy meant was that the author of the original script set it up that way, and he didn't think it was a big problem, so he didn't change it.
It seems that talent is really something that cannot be compensated for.
Shaking his head, he said: "A movie is only so long. If you use two equally important but unrelated stories to make up enough time, you can't keep everyone's attention at all, and the effect will be greatly reduced. .
You can completely separate the stories, strengthen the plot of a story, and deepen the layers to attract the audience. If the response is good, the next story can be made into a second part to make money.
Let me go, do you want me, a layman, to teach you these things?
Okay, okay!
In this way, I will provide you with the main line of the story. When you go back, you can recruit a few more screenwriters to revise it and then report it to me. Fine? "
Is that possible? You pay for it!
Zhuo Zhuo nodded weakly: "Okay."
In fact, Li Xiucheng can't write scripts, but he has read them.
In his previous life, he had watched a movie called Exorcist Police, which had a similar theme to the script given by Zhuo Zhuo, and it happened to star Lin Daochang.
At that moment, he roughly told the plot.
"Police officer Li and police officer 9527 of the Xiangjiang Crime Unit accidentally killed a movable corpse during an anti-drug operation... After the two discovered something was wrong, they found Uncle Feng, who was proficient in magic, and Uncle Feng cooperated with them to investigate the corpse.
In the process, they discovered that it was a Japanese cult that used dead people to transport poison. After some investigation, they found the mastermind behind the scenes, the Japanese female leader Michiko. After a fierce battle, the two sides successfully eliminated Michiko. "
Zhuo Zhuo was a little unconcerned at first, but after listening to it at the end, he realized that the plot was really good. The main line was simple and clear but not boring, and it also had a bit more suspense.
He said hurriedly: "Okay, Mr. Li's story is so well thought out. I will go back and recruit a screenwriter right away to fill in the details of the story."
"Well, hire more screenwriters." After speaking, Li Xiucheng criticized directly: "Remember, whether it is a movie, novel, or comic, the most important thing is creativity.
