As the saying goes, listen to the words and the sound of the gongs and drums.

What Xu Xin said was actually quite straightforward.

At least, Qi Lei heard it.

He thought the script was good and could be cast.

really.

He felt that the script was also good.

Except for some erotic scenes that are boldly described in the script, everything else feels good.

It has storytelling and humanity.

As long as the director's level is online, then...it should be an excellent work if carefully crafted.

Especially after hearing Xu Xin's words, this feeling became more obvious.

Unconsciously, he conjured up a story in his mind about a man who looked very wretched, greasy, and dissatisfied with desires, and how he caught the murderer.

The smell is really quite authentic.

But this is one side of the story.

On the other hand...if you are a screenwriter, you will definitely feel confident once you hear Director Xu's words.

People are interested in this script and can vote for it.

Then let’s talk about other things.

Such as directors, actors, budgets, etc...

Let’s finalize the matter first, sign the contract first, and then talk about other things.

But this one is different.

"But wouldn't this be too complicated? With so many complex expressions, it's easy for the context to become unclear..."

"Why is there such a unclear context? First of all, we need to find a story line for the male protagonist that starts from the beginning. Once the story line is established, all other things about human nature can be derived from this line.

And these characteristics can be completely integrated together. Love is sensibility. I believe that Zhang Zili has been attracted to Wu Zhizhen and really likes this woman. Sensibility is desire. Justice is rationality and is an axiom that everyone must abide by.

.

There is no mercy. The struggle at this point only needs to be able to make the audience empathize. There is no need to deliberately depict it, because that will be very bloated. We have to use subtraction and match it in certain specific clips to arouse the audience's mood.

Fragments that are close to their lives and resonate..."

"Can I...write it down? Director Xu."

"sure……"

Qi Lei listened to the two people starting to talk about the script, and his eyes fell on Diao Yinan, who lowered his head and started writing in a notebook.

have to.

He could sort of see it.

This person...

Quite simple.

There's a... nerdy sense of déjà vu.

He can't hear what's going on outside the window.

Focus on movies.

It's really pure.

Thinking of this, he had no intention of joining the conversation between the two, but instead took out his mobile phone.

Opening Baidu, he searched for a keyword:

"'Night Train' box office."

Soon, detailed information was given on a Baidu website.

"Length: 91 minutes Box office: ￥34,324"

Qi Lei's mouth twitched instantly.

I rubbed my eyes subconsciously, thinking I had seen it wrong.

But……

There are only five numbers in total.

Thirty-four thousand?

this……

He searched Douban ratings again.

The score is okay, 5

But... no wonder he had so much trouble finding investments.

Just because he wants to be a director, he can basically kill 90% of the investors.

A director whose last film only had a box office of over RMB 30,000 wants to become the director of a "masterpiece" worth RMB 20,000?

Whose money is blown by the strong wind?

Dare you let me play like this?

If you want to make a movie, you must at least show the ability to match it.

Not to mention too much, a box office of one million is enough.

With 34,000 yuan, just wanting to be a director is indeed a bit too fantasy.

He shook his head slightly helplessly.

Turned off the phone.

He could tell that Director Xu was probably understanding his thoughts on the movie.

I guess he was measuring whether he could sustain this movie.

Then there will be nothing wrong with you next.

This kind of directing job requires professional people to do professional things.

…

"Actually, at the end of the finale, I planned to have Zhang Zili go to the ballroom to dance... To be honest, director Xu said that this inspiration came from "Blessed Ears". Teacher Fan's dance at the end made me see a lot of things

, I feel that all the past and various emotions in his heart can be vented in this dance scene..."

"It feels quite enjoyable. However, the prototype of this scene should be Claire Denney's "Forbidden Love in the Army"... But if this scene is used, the picture will be great, and it will have a hearty feeling.

.”

"Yes, yes, that's it! It's a dance hall with a sense of the times. Zhang Zili wears bloated clothes and is incompatible with everyone here... Just like Mr. Quan, he kept dancing, kept dancing, and finally here

There is a dance, the screen gradually fades, darkens, and the movie ends..."

"...Hmm. It tastes good. It's really good."

Xu Xin picked up the tea cup and realized that the tea inside had lost its temperature.

He waved his hand to Qi Lei, rejecting the idea of ​​adding another drink. Instead, he tapped on the script and fell silent.

moment……

"Director Diao, this script still needs to be changed. Of course, the changes I'm talking about are not changing the plot, but some unfamiliar parts in it."

He directed the script to Diao Yinan:

"Let's talk about investing."

After saying that, he turned to look at Qi Lei.

After seeing that Qi Lei had no intention of speaking, he understood clearly and went straight to the point:

"This script feels very good. We can vote for it."

"!"

In Qi Lei's eyes, Diao Yinan showed a look of surprise belatedly.

Then……

"Really? You didn't lie to me? You can really vote?!"

This person...

well……

Qi Lei couldn't laugh or cry.

Xu Xin smiled and nodded:
To be continued...
