Seeing that he was thinking about Qi Lei, he didn't rush him.

He walked around from behind the table and started boiling water to make tea.

After a pot of water boiled, Xu Xin asked:

"Gold", this Ning Hao is suitable for "Partners"... If you want to make this film, you have to find three reliable actors.

The director does not need too many concepts. For a biographical film like his, the director is required to follow the script and not be too deviant, as long as he does not deviate from the story line. It doesn't matter for the film "Youth", just find someone who can

A director who makes a good-looking movie can just put the investment plan on the table.

Xu Xin shrugged, that's my opinion, but Qi Lei was stunned, what do you mean? What do you mean? Xu Xin was a little confused, but Qi Lei was even more confused, why don't you take pictures, why should I take pictures?

?I will have a movie called Sunspot next year? It’s not what I mean. It’s because you don’t plan to film these three scripts. Didn’t you choose them? No.

Xu Xin looked at him with a look that took it for granted, "Brother, you can't hang out with me alone, right?" I chose this film because I thought it had enough story and wasn't trash.

If you want to film the script, just ask the director to film it. What does it have to do with me?

Qi Lei looks so fierce. I thought you chose these three scripts with the intention of me filming all three. I'm crazy.

Xu Xin quickly shook his head. I will return to China for a film festival in the next year.

I just talked with Yang Mi after that. I feel like I have been running outside every day this year, and I haven’t spent much time at home. My children are running away now. I still want to enjoy life.

I understand this.

Qi Lei opened his mouth with determination in Xu Xin's words, and finally gave a wry smile. "Didn't you tell me earlier that you had brought over the plan?" He turned to the first page. "Do you know what the budget for the initial research of "Partner" was in the factory?"

? I guess 25 million to 30 million is about right.

Later, everyone thought that the money for your movie was too little, so they doubled it again. You had already said you wouldn't make it.

Hearing this, Xu Xin looked at the accumulation of bitter smiles and asked in confusion, why do I feel so weak in your heart? Don't tell me, I am really weak.

In front of Xu Xin, Qi Lei openly admitted that if you were to shoot these films, I would have a hundred confidence, but now that you say you won’t make them, my heart begins to hang on the Yichuang Center

It’s not like I was able to support it alone. Aren’t the other directors also doing it for a living?

Xu Xin smiled and waved his hand, "I understand what you mean, then you will follow the normal process for this script. After sending the script out, you will see which directors are interested, prepare a set of information, submit it for review, and the director will be selected."

I will be a producer, not to mention anything else. When the movie starts shooting, I will go to the crew every now and then to check on the quality of the shooting. Otherwise, I will be kept spinning. I am not crazy about how many movies I make in a year. Even Yang Mi

Go crazy.

Qi Lei thought for a moment and nodded.

Okay, then this budget will be used as nothing. Are you sure that there is no problem with these three scripts? Well, no problem, the story is very strong. As long as the filming is not pretentious, even if you find a new person to film, you can still produce a passable film.

Fraction.

This kind of script is actually an industrial product. According to standards, the upper limit depends on the director, but the lower limit of the script itself is there.

It won't be bad. He waved his hand and gave Qi Lei a reassurance. Okay, let these three be the plan for next year. Where is your Sunspot? What do you mean, let's talk about it next year. This year is enough trouble.

Okay, I really don’t want to think about these things anymore.

You are so merciful and let me go. To be honest, I don't even want to do dubbing or post-production.

I want to go on vacation directly, do you believe it? Really, for a matter of millions of dollars, what do you think I am trying to do? Although Qi Lei also knows that Xu Xin has two movies in a row this year, plus it is Venice and a wedding photo shoot

He was very busy, but looking at his messy appearance, I still couldn't laugh or cry, so I reminded him of Hawthorn Tree's promotional activities.

You haven't counted it yet, Brother Qi, look at me.

Seeing Xu Xin's eyes, Qi Lei tilted his head in confusion. What's wrong? Sometimes I think that a person's eyes cannot be hidden, do you understand? Qi Lei said in his heart, "Do you want to kill me?"

Not visible yet.

To be honest, Lian Shi Youyi stayed in Xi'an for three days in total.

After finalizing various details for 33 days, he returned to Yanjing.

On the day he returned home, Yanjing finally ushered in the first real heavy snowfall since the beginning of winter. Unlike the previous sleet, when he got off the plane, there were only scattered snowflakes in the sky.

, but by the time we got home, the snowflakes were as big as goose feathers.

Seeing this, Xu Xin directly told Chenghu and Su Meng, "Don't go up there either. Mengmeng asked Brother Hu to take you home to rest."

The snow looked quite impressive. According to the usual practice in previous years, after this snowfall, traffic was paralyzed for a long time at least. It was better to go home and lie down than anything else, and waved his hand to signal the two of them to leave.

He pushed his suitcase directly home in the wind and snow. People in Yanjing especially love mutton-boiled meat in winter. After being together with his wife for so many years, her eating habits have also changed a lot.

After returning home, I looked at the copper pot set up on the dining table and smelled the smell of fire, and my heart suddenly felt at ease.

Yang Mi, who heard the commotion and saw the snowflakes still hanging on his shoulders, hurried over and Mengmeng asked him to go back.

The snow outside suddenly became heavy, so I didn't let him come up.

While he was talking, Yang Mi had already helped him take off his coat, and while he was changing his shoes, he didn't hear the child's movement and asked in confusion, "Where is Nuannuan and Yangyang? My parents took them downstairs to play in the snow."

Maybe I’m used to living in the Northeast. I have to go out when it snows. If I don’t go out, I cry.

Come over and help me cut the meat. Yes, he responded and followed his wife into the kitchen.

On the chopping board, a piece of bright red mutton was placed there, and next to it was a basin of sesame sauce with floating oil, including various kinds of chives, bean curd, and the like.

The people of Yanjing have a mysterious sense of ritual towards meat-shabu-shabu, but the meat they eat is really not that good. I may have to leave tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.

As soon as he picked up the kitchen knife, he heard his wife say that the cold air this time caused heavy snowfall in Liaoning, which was said to be very thick.

Director Wang just finished a phone call with me and said that the snow now meets the shooting conditions. The question is how long it will take for him to shoot? Xu Xin said, do the children want to follow? What do you say here? We will leave on the 20th.

The appointment is on the 21st.

I'll take it with you, okay. Then I'll come find you when I get back from Wanwan.

Well, by the way, have Lao Xu and I finished talking about the four million investment in "Trail of the Japanese Pirates"? I took a look at the script, how is it? It's very average.

Hearing this, Xu Xin, who had started cutting the meat, stopped and looked at his wife who was making sesame paste.

Very average and stupid. To sum it up from the perspective of Internet articles, that is, the author is very literary and young people are usually not lovable.

Yang Mi shrugged. His story was written in a very awkward way, which completely subverted the inherent perception of kung fu movies. Isn't it the kind of kung fu that involves hard work and hard work? No, it's like saying that we are both practicing martial arts.

When we met, you were lying on the ground. It didn’t look very nice, but it was indeed the real thing.

I can understand his idea of ​​​​presenting everyone with a kind of martial arts that is assumed to be real. Maybe this is what the master is tempted by, but this is a movie, right? Xu Xin followed his idea and gave it without thinking much.

A consistent understanding with his wife.

Movies are not reality. They can be derived from reality, but they must also be higher than reality.

And the unsightly moves you mentioned may become a very unpleasant thing to watch in a movie. This is not wrong. Yang Mi is not surprised by her husband's understanding, but feels that it is natural.

, nodded, that’s what I meant, I really can’t imagine it.

You said it's like two masters fighting each other, one person touching the vagina and the other's legs.

If I were to watch it as a movie fan, I would find it ridiculous. As for the overall story, it is very literary and artistic.

But Xu Xin said with a smile, just think about buying it for a thousand dollars, don't be too greedy.

Let’s not talk about the plot for now, let Xu figure out how to make this movie.

Mr. Xu wants to leave something real on the screen

In the curtain, as long as this goal is achieved, it is enough. What's more, if you are a constellation, you need to be tolerant. This is the truth.

But you really don't want to be unstable. I think this book should be smoother if it passes through your hands.

Hearing this, Xu Xin did not respond directly, but asked, do you think Lao Xu looks like him? Please. Yang Mi nodded. We were playing tricks while chatting. We talked about how this happened, and I

If you don't use tricks, even if it's the real thing, it won't look good.

Movies are about the aesthetics and art of the lens, which is a bit of a waste of time.

Then he started popularizing science with me, why the core idea of ​​the script is a dystopia, and why Jianghu is just a mysterious group created by those who practice martial arts, because they need the cover of their identities as Jianghu people to cover up the activities they do.

, and what kind of warriors and bandits are involved.

He also talked to me about this.

Xu Xin smiled and said that from his point of view, there is actually nothing. He was created. In many cases, he was a kind of half-god, half-bandit interpersonal relationship and activity style imagined with reference to the bandit incident.

There is a big gap between him and the real martial arts community in the Republic of China, but his martial arts roommate was referring to opening a martial arts gym.

This group of people who work as bodyguards and private martial arts teachers are called martial arts, right? Yes, I admit that what he said makes sense, but it is not entirely correct. We can talk about it.

His ideas are actually very fixed. This concept runs through the script. Is this also the director's insistence? From the perspective of an actor and investor, you may not be able to understand it, but as a director, I can understand this persistence.

.

But this insistence is not necessarily right, nor is it necessarily wrong.

She shook her head again and gave her own point of view, forgetting what I often tell you, the director should use his own perspective to interpret the script and film the story interpreted through his own perspective into images.

At this point, he suddenly froze. After about a few seconds, he stood up straight, feeling a little dazed.

He Huihui saw that he was thinking, and Yang Mi was in no hurry to speak until he heard, "Besides, you can help me."

Yang Mi was stunned for a moment. What kind of thing could you help me out with?

While cutting the mutton attentively, he said that at first glance, Lao Xu seemed to be a scholar rather than a five person, but in fact his personality was almost the same as that of the five people.
To be continued...
