Chapter 509 Maze(1/2)
From this perspective, Yuan Dafei's choice is not unreasonable. This is indeed a script suitable for an actor at Wu Di's stage.
The cost of suspense films can also be greatly reduced in terms of actors' remuneration, so the pressure to repay the money will naturally be much less.
Judging from the current feedback from the film market, suspense films that can become famous often take the route of focusing on small and broad areas.
The problem now is that Yuan Dafei found this script. After a quick glance, you can see that a lot of effort has been put into the script structure.
It is the work of the creator, and for a suspense film, the script is actually the soul.
Unlike many types of movies, suspense movies are very particular about the plot and must not be vague. The center of the plot must be very tight.
Those stream-of-consciousness or sad plots are definitely not suitable to appear in suspense movies. If the audience sees it, they can only scold the mother and not praise the director for his pursuit.
The so-called suspense movies pursue the pleasure of deciphering.
It is really not a good choice to always provide the audience with the kind of intense excitement, the process of pursuing the truth, to shoot in a literary and artistic tone, and to finally give the audience an open ending.
From this perspective, the movie recommended by Da Fei is also qualified, even excellent.
"Da Fei, I can see that this is the author's ingenious work, but is this entry point too small?"
"Although many suspense films follow the route of using small things to make a big difference, but this is too small!"
"This is completely a rural story. I'm not deliberately criticizing it. In fact, I'm also very interested in this script. But, it won't be good at the box office, which can be seen with the naked eye."
"Suspense films are not the type to win awards, so they can only go to the box office, but the box office results are definitely not expected. This is indeed a dilemma."
"That's why I need you more!" Now that Wu Di showed interest, Yuan Dafei could tell some truth.
"You're a newcomer, so the salary won't be too high. As a junior, I didn't plan to get much investment with such a script, so as an actor, of course I can't choose someone with a high salary."
"So you are a very suitable choice."
"You see, you are a newcomer and this is the time when you need word of mouth the most. Moreover, when Skin Change and Master are released, you will be somewhat famous. However, you also know that in these two movies, there is not much room for you to perform.
big."
"As your agent, I think the next step is for you to make high-quality movies."
"This is the case in the current film market. There is also a trend. The smaller the investment, the easier it is for a film to gain a reputation if it is of good quality. It is the so-called unpopular film."
"Even if your box office results are average, as long as your performance is good, you can still get a good response. And the junior brother does not have too high aspirations. On the one hand, he is satisfied if he can turn his brainchild into a real work.
On the one hand, as long as the capital can be recovered, the initial goal has been achieved."
"Besides, you have also seen that the script is indeed very solid. I am your agent and I will not harm you."
"The resources I bring to you are either money-making or famous. They are all works with a purpose."
"I have always felt that to be an actor, you still need to have some feelings and pursuits. Although this movie may not have a high box office, it is definitely a quality movie."
"Young man, don't be so worldly."
"How about it?"
"Think about it?"
The conversation has reached this point, and it would be inappropriate for Wu Di to refuse again.
Besides, Wu Di really likes this work.
However, he still didn't agree quickly.
From Yuan Dafei's words, he smelled a hint of danger.
"Da Fei, speaking of investment, what plans does junior brother have?"
"Are you ready?"
This is really a blow to the soul. Whatever comes to mind, Da Fei quickly continued: "Of course I haven't found the investment yet, but since the size of the film is not large, it shouldn't be difficult."
"It's a modern film, and it doesn't require any scenery. In addition to you, I also found a few juniors and juniors from our film school to participate in the film. They are all newcomers and don't ask for much pay. Although the story is quite complicated.
, but basically no post-production is required, even the lines can be recorded live.”
"So, the scale of investment will not be very large."
Yuan Dafei's eyes were so full of expectation, and that kind of eyes were aimed at Wu Di.
What he means can of course be seen clearly at a glance.
Han Jingjing, who had been busy cooking the meal, saw the dinner getting quiet, staring at this with her small eyes, looking at this and that.
"Boss Wu, since the investment is not high, you can take care of it yourself."
Who asked her to speak at this time!
Wu Di's eyes darkened: "Did you also tell him about Ms. Lan?"
Looking at the way the two of them were singing along, Wu Di could guess at least 70%.
Han Jingjing chuckled: "Yes, I did."
"Aren't we good friends? We are also the most loyal partners. How can we not share the news?"
mean!
It seems that today, the two of them were sure that Wu Di would be interested in this script, so they wanted to persuade him to invest.
"invest?"
"sure!"
It seems that the two of them are already very clear about his current financial resources, so there is no need to pretend to be poor and just talk about serious things.
However, Wu Di would not let them get the money so easily.
"Really?" He agreed so happily, which was beyond Da Fei's expectation.
Even if things went well, it was a little hard for him to accept.
Wu Di nodded: "Of course it's true, why are you lying to me?"
"However, if you want to invest, you can't just rely on this one script. As you know, it's not up to me to decide whether to invest or not. I need Ms. Lan's nod."
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "So, I think this is it, your junior brother, please make an appointment, we all can meet, I will understand the whole project, and take a look at his situation.
."
"OK!"
"No problem at all!"
Da Fei took out his mobile phone and was about to call his junior brother. Wu Di quickly stopped him: "Don't worry yet."
"Let me make this clear first."
"say clearly?"
"What else is there to say?"
Da Fei and Jing Jing both looked at him with puzzled expressions. What did this mean?
As a dignified investor, doesn’t Wu Di even have the qualifications to raise questions?
"Of course."
The two of them colluded, which made Wu Di feel very bad.
Although the work is good, he does not want to know about it in this way, or even participate in it.
Obviously, isn't this just the two of them digging a hole and waiting for Wu Di to jump into it?
What's the situation now?
Not only do you want to push Wu Di to jump into the pit, but once you find out that he has to struggle a little and get angry, can you still be reasonable?
Wu Di's face turned cold and he looked at them blankly: "If you want me to invest, you must first listen to my conditions!"
Da Fei thought for a moment and nodded immediately: "Yes!"
"you're right!"
"Boss Wu, if you have any conditions, just mention them and they will be considered."
consider?
If you were given the chance to consider it, what else would I invest in?
Don’t you know who is the investor and who is the boss?
"I want to be a part of this movie!"
Da Fei's face froze: "Production?"
"You mean, you want to go behind the scenes?"
This is really a strange choice and puzzling.
With Wu Di's appearance and conditions, being behind the scenes is the best choice. With such good conditions, he has to hang out with the producers behind the scenes. Isn't this a waste?
Wu Di doesn't think so. Having traveled from a new era, he is well aware of the difference between making your own cake and having to accept someone else's cake in the future film market.
"You can't say that. I still want to act in this movie. I've read the script and the story is indeed very good. However, I want to try the behind-the-scenes production. I haven't figured out what to do specifically. This is what you gave me.
