Kong Xue took the script with curiosity and looked down and started to read it seriously.

Chen Jing took this opportunity to ask Gu Qizhi some questions in his mind. After all, if nothing unexpected happens, Chen Jing wants to invest in him, so he naturally needs to ask the questions he should ask clearly.

"Mr. Gu, I am frank, with your talent and strength, it should be easy to find some film companies to give you opportunities. Why do you have to come to this banquet today to find opportunities? After all, basically the people present today are interested in antiques, and not many people are interested in movies."

This is the truth. Apart from the antique shops and collectors who attended today, those who came to the business world also came with the idea of ​​investing in antiques, and they are likely not interested in investing in movies.

Gu Qizhi smiled bitterly when he heard this. He expected that Chen Jing would definitely ask this question. He didn't dare to hide anything at this moment. He said truthfully: "Mr. Chen, I don't hide it from you. If you are just a screenwriter involved in the movie, there are indeed many film companies who are willing to give me the opportunity, but I, I don't want to just be a screenwriter, I want to be a director!"

"Be a director?" Chen Jing remembered his self-introduction just now and said, "The box office of "The Last Warrior" directed by Mr. Gu before seems to be not very ideal."

Guqizhi nodded in self-deprecatingly, and then said, "Yes, it is also for this reason that I was abandoned by my previous company and abandoned by capital. Although the investment in "The Last Warrior" is not high, it still lost money in the end. I wasted opportunities and lost the trust of capital. Therefore, I couldn't find anyone or company in the film industry who was willing to give me the opportunity to be a director."

Capital is indeed very realistic. When you have the ability to bring benefits to them, they will treat you as a guest of honor and tolerate all your shortcomings. But if you do not have the ability to bring benefits to them, you will be embarrassed. They will let you know what it means to turn against each other faster than to read a book.

In the movie circle or simply say that things like Guqizhi are very common in the entertainment circle. Didn’t the director surnamed Wang from Xiangjiang say that as long as the movies you make money, then you are a big shot, get angry, be late, and scold people, etc. are not a problem.

But if you can't make money, what are you?

In comparison, Gu Qizhi can still make a living in the film industry by relying on his screenwriter skills, which is a pretty good result, but he is not willing to give up his directorial path like this.

Gu Qizhi knew very well that if he chose to go back to be a screenwriter this time, he would never get the opportunity to make a movie in his life, unless he could pay for it himself, but this was basically unnecessary to consider. After all, even small-cost movies are often hundreds or even millions these days, so how could he afford it?

It is precisely because of this that Guqizhi took the script of "The Record of the Twin Detective" and looked for rich people and wealthy people to invest, hoping to get the last chance.

But there is no need to say much about the result. People who are not interested in investing in movies don’t read his scripts. Those who are interested will also ask for his name. They know that he just made a frustrated movie and naturally they are no longer interested.

Gu Qizhi said again: "Mr. Chen, actually, I actually got into this banquet today, mainly because I wanted to find an opportunity to meet Mr. Hua Taohua. If he could give me a chance..."

After a brief pause, he added: "Of course, I thank you very much!" He said this sincerely and honestly.

Chen Jing just smiled when he heard this, but he didn't say anything, but he was also thinking about a question in his heart, that is, whether to let Gu Qizhi be the director.

You should know that the box office potential of "The Record of the Twin Detective" identified by the God of Treasure Appraisal Eye also has a prerequisite. It must be of the right level of shooting. It does not mean that as long as it is shot, it will definitely have a box office of 2 billion to 3 billion.

But Guqizhi failed a movie, which really makes people doubt his level of directorship.

"Mr. Gu, I'll ask, what do you think is the reason why "The Last Warrior" is not ideal for the box office?" Chen Jing thought for a while and asked.

When Guqizhi heard this, hesitated for a while and said, "It's because, because I'm worried about a box office failure, I have added comedy elements to the movie. After all, comedy in the movie market in recent years is easy to sell well at the box office, but I didn't expect that it would be inappropriate in the end."

Chen Jing was stunned: "That is to say, "The Last Warrior" was originally a suspenseful case-solving movie?"

"Yes." Gu Qizhi couldn't help but nodded awkwardly.

When Chen Jing heard this, he couldn't help but feel a little amused. I remember right, when Kong Xue and Shen Jing went to watch it, he said that the promotion of "The Last Warrior" was also a promotional comedy.

It’s no wonder Gu Qizhi failed. He abandoned what he was good at and blindly followed the so-called market trends. Who would fail if he didn’t fail?

Although it is correct to follow the trend under the general trend, blindly following the trend is indeed seeking death.

"Mr. Gu, are you confident that you can shoot "The Records of the Twin Detectives" now?" Chen Jing asked directly.

When Gu Qizhi heard this, he immediately tense up and said seriously: "I am confident, Mr. Chen, I will learn from my lessons this time and concentrate on filming suspense and solving cases. I will definitely make a movie that is no worse than "Strange Case Spy"!"

Seeing this, Chen Jing just smiled unanimously and did not give Gu Qizhi's promise.

The main thing is to have a preliminary chat with the other party. Whether to invest in the future depends on the actual situation. However, if there is no major problem, Chen Jing is most likely willing to invest. He not only believes in the appraisal of the treasure appraisal eye, but also is also a bit optimistic about the script itself of "The Records of the Twin Detective".

Not long after, Kong Xue roughly finished reading the script, and said with a little amazement on her dignified and pretty face: "This script looks really good, at least I didn't see the end, and I didn't guess who the final murderer was."

In other words, the suspense of "The Record of the Twin Detective" is enough. Unlike most current cases-solving stories or TV series, you can guess the murderer or even the means of committing the crime in just ten minutes. What else can you watch?

When Gu Qizhi heard this, he hurriedly said, "Thank you for your praise." His attitude towards Kong Xue also seemed quite respectful. After all, it is not difficult to see the relationship between them by his intimate actions with Chen Jing.

At this time, Chen Jing was about to say something, but his cell phone rang. He glanced at Shen Jing's phone number, and immediately knew in his heart that it was the auctioneer of Liu Xiuyu's plaque.

Immediately, Chen Jing answered the phone and said a few words to Shen Jing, then hung up, then looked at Gu Qizhi and said, "Mr. Gu, let's leave a contact information. I will contact you in two days. We will talk about it in detail at that time." Chen Jing said.

Investing in movies or something is definitely not as important as the clues of Chixiao Sword.
