I have nothing to do

11.

If literary films are niche, horror films, especially domestic horror films, are basically unpopular.

It's not that no one watched it, but that no one liked it.

After all, if you want to pass the trial, you can’t really have ghosts, too much plasma, too shocking pictures, and crooked ideology. It’s hard to make a horror movie look good under the constraints of various rules and regulations.

Therefore, most domestic horror films are synonymous with low-cost and rough production.

Occasionally, there are a few horror movies that have invited a few big-name stars to sit in the town, and it is difficult to get good reviews because the logic in the script is not self-consistent.

After the emergence of online dramas in the past few years, domestic horror films have almost disappeared in movie theaters.

And Cheng Xinyuan, this well-known literary film director who has won awards in foreign film festivals, is sitting here now, saying that he wants to make a horror film.

"Let me tell you, it's very scary." Cheng Xinyuan squinted his eyes and whispered, "The first time I watched it, I didn't even dare to go to the bathroom after peeing."

Weng Chi flipped through a few pages and threw the book on the table. He looked up to the sky and sighed. This was worse than the worst outcome he had imagined. He thought that Cheng Xinyuan wanted so much money to make a costume blockbuster or a sci-fi movie. He didn't expect it Cheng Xinyuan wanted to shoot this kind of thing.

"Don't sigh, let me tell you, this original novel is popular on the Internet, and there are people discussing it everywhere. It has a very wide audience." Cheng Xinyuan opened the phone page and handed it to Weng Chi, "Look, really Not bad."

Weng Chi pulled Cheng Xinyuan's handcuff away, and he asked Yan Yu who was sitting opposite him: "Do you like watching movies?"

"I love watching..."

"Then do you like to read online novels?"

"This, I rarely come into contact with."

Weng Chi turned to look at Cheng Xinyuan: "Look, those who love watching movies don't necessarily like online novels, and those who like online novels don't necessarily like watching movies. You said that the audience is wide, so how many people are willing to pay for this online novel? What about paying to go to the cinema to watch a movie? And let’s take a step back and say that even if the readers of this novel are looking for the novel, movie lovers are looking for you as the director, and there is another person looking for the star or something, go into the cinema and watch this How much praise do you think the movie can get? What kind of movie do you think needs to be made to meet the national standards and meet the expectations of this group of people for the movie?"

"This work is really beautiful."

"It's good to see you go to shoot online dramas. Isn't this kind of IP all shooting online dramas now? If you want to shoot, I can contact the platform for you. You can shoot whatever you want, but I advise you not to shoot yourself. You know you Is it not easy to maintain your reputation? If you have a bad movie, you will be finished." Weng Chi said so much in one breath, he felt his throat was about to smoke, and he was looking for where the teapot was, so Yan Yu took a cup Tea was pushed over to him.

Weng Chi took the tea and drank it down in one gulp. He didn't know what Cheng Xinyuan was thinking about every day. He seemed very shrewd, but his mind was full of shit.

Directors like Cheng Xinyuan are suitable for making literary films all the time. Although they are not popular, they have a good reputation. After several years of filming, they will gain fame and status.

Although Cheng Xinyuan's previous film won an award, his situation in the domestic film industry is very delicate. Directors of niche films are all taking the route of winning awards abroad and being banned in China. Cheng Xinyuan is good. It was he who banned foreign countries, did not go to the awards ceremony at all, and publicly stated that he was ashamed of foreign film festivals misinterpreting his films and giving his films some metaphors that did not exist. He said that films are films, not yours. tool.

As soon as he said this, the Internet was full of applause, but in fact he offended some people in the circle.

Now everyone is queuing up to see him make a fool of himself. This is Cheng Xinyuan's first commercial film, and it's his best choice to act steadily.

What horror movies, let horror movies go to hell.

Director Wang read the script, and also helped Weng Chi persuade Cheng Xinyuan, asking if he should think about it again and read other books?This historical theme is quite popular recently, how about looking at this aspect?

"Don't try to persuade me. I'm definitely going to shoot. I didn't ask you to stop me today. I asked you to read the book. Let's brainstorm, not to let you storm me." Cheng Xinyuan was not happy. Weng Chi took the notebook that was thrown on the table back and handed it to Xiao Fan, "Put it away, if he doesn't read it, we won't give it to him. After all, from now on we have to cut down on food and clothing. If the funder doesn't invest, we will save money." Click on the printing fee."

After the last night of quarreling, Cheng Xinyuan decided to shoot this, saying that if Weng Chi didn't vote, he would find someone else.

Cheng Xinyuan's original words were that he wanted to shoot even if he sold himself.

"Only how much can you sell for?!" Weng Chi heard Cheng Xinyuan's words without any anger, "With your budget, which idiot do you think can vote?"

"The budget is not negotiable..."

"How much can we discuss..."

"It can be a little less..."

Yan Yu knows that the cost of film production is very high, but what he has come into contact with before is just a bunch of cold data, just like himself, even though he only eats a bowl of noodles for 20 yuan, he can still look down on 2 yuan on the Internet. However, the few people sitting in front of him now said that the figure of tens of millions is the same as the price of cabbage and potatoes in the vegetable market, and they can bargain.

The final transaction price was still in eight figures. Cheng Xinyuan patted his chest and expressed that he would definitely make this film scary, exciting and full of connotations.

"You should think about how to pass the trial." Weng Chi said angrily, "It is impossible for me to pay all the money, and I don't have that much. I have already told you what I can pay. You can figure out the rest by yourself. Didn’t you mean selling yourself? Counting from tomorrow, when will you get enough and come to me.”

Cheng Xinyuan said that there is no problem at all, he will work with Xiao Fan's team on this book, and the actor recruitment can almost start.

"Is there any actor you want to find?" Yan Yu whispered while holding the teacup, "It's about male and female leading roles."

"I have a few candidates for the heroine, but I don't have any others." Cheng Xinyuan pointed out to him the setting of the heroine in the novel, "This role is actually quite difficult to find. It is a test of acting skills if you have to be both good and evil. of."

"Then what are you going to do?"

"Well, we can only wait for the actors to recommend themselves." Cheng Xinyuan blew on the tea leaves floating on the water, "After all, I am somewhat famous, and I think there should be many companies recommending my own artists. Selected."

"That's true." Director Wang took off his hat and touched his few strands of hair, "After all, there are too many monks, and no matter whether you look at it horizontally or vertically, Director Cheng will give people the impression that he is someone who will find an unknown actor as the protagonist. So when the time comes, you may have to be tricky.”

"By the way, Yan Yu, if you're not interested in acting, maybe Director Cheng can arrange a role for you."

"Me? I can't."

"Why can't you?" Weng Chi sat on the side and folded his arms and said, "Not all movies are full of handsome men and beautiful women. The salary is still quite a lot, and I will ask the assistant director to give you a big red envelope."

Yan Yu was carrying a pot to pour tea for them one by one, when it was Weng Chi's turn, Weng Chi also pushed the cup over, but Yan Yu put down the teapot and said, "Thank you, Mr. Counting on you."

"You're welcome, let's get rich together."
