Pei Qian thought for a moment and still felt that he could not take this risk.
It is best to deceive Feihuang Studio into spending a lot of money and let them come up with ideas and scripts themselves. This way, the probability of losing money is the highest!
So, Pei Qian avoided talking about Huang Sibo's expectations and took the topic elsewhere.
“There’s no need to rush when it comes to creativity.”
“Don’t many famous directors write scripts as they go on set?”
"I believe Director Zhu Xiaoce can do it too!"
"The key is that as a film and television studio that has been established for nine months and relies on Tenda Group, it is still struggling to make some videos. Making money from skits and online stores is too unambitious!"
Huang Sibo opened his mouth and subconsciously wanted to refute.
What happened to nine months of establishment? Is nine months a long time? ?
Many film and television studios close down in half a year, not to mention nine months. Feihuang Studio has been open for nine months now. Although the videos it shoots have both losses and profits, most of them have been well received. , this result is already pretty good, okay!
But looking at Mr. Pei opposite, Huang Sibo felt embarrassed to say these words.
Indeed, think about how many good games Tenda has made in nine months!
If compared with Tenda, Feihuang Studio’s current achievements are indeed somewhat insignificant.
No wonder Mr. Pei is disappointed with Feihuang Studio.
Huang Sibo felt a little ashamed and said: "Then... Mr. Pei, do you think Feihuang Studio should try to make some formal movies?"
Pei Qian nodded. : "That's right. I've filmed short videos and documentaries, and the abilities of the director and staff are all good. What are you still hesitating about?"
Huang Sibo frowned slightly: " Uh... the budget is not enough?"
Pei Qian smiled slightly: "If the budget is small, just make a low-cost movie. If you are really short of money, you can ask me directly. How big a deal is it?"
< p>Huang Sibo was a little embarrassed: "This... budget is actually only one reason...""Mr. Pei, it's not that I'm too conservative. The key is that making short videos and making big movies are not the same at all. It’s the same thing!”
Huang Sibo began to tell Pei Qian the secret.
"The Daily Life of Mr. Pei" is only a few minutes long. The length of "A Day in the Life of the Great Inventor" has increased a lot, but it is only about ten minutes. The longest episode is only half an hour. .
But if it is a serious movie and it wants to be released in theaters, it will take 90 minutes.
On the surface, it seems that the duration is only doubled, but in fact the difference is huge.
A short video of a few minutes can be put together with various funny jokes. The whole story can be messy and scattered, as long as it can make the audience laugh., even if it is successful.
But for a 90-minute movie, it is definitely not enough to make the audience laugh.
To make an excellent movie, the story must be complete and the audience’s emotions must be well controlled, which is much more difficult than short videos.
Just a few laughs cannot support the reputation of a major movie.
Many big movies made through the popularity of online dramas have failed in word-of-mouth, precisely because the creative team simply does not have the hard power to make big movies well, and simply understands big movies as "extended versions" "Internet short drama", so it was dumped on the street.
"So, Mr. Pei, if you want to make a serious movie, the risk is too great!"
"If you are not completely sure, it is best not to take this risk. ."
"At least, there must be a good script, right?"
Huang Sibo said very seriously.
Pei Qian also fell into silence.
It seems that Huang Sibo understands this very well!
But to put it this way, Pei Qian wants to take the photo!
What Mr. Pei likes is the high probability of this thing hitting the street!
Of course, then again, Pei is always a very kind person. Since it is a very risky thing and can easily fail, Huang Sibo and Zhu Xiaoce must not be blamed for this.
As the saying goes, if I don’t go to hell, who will.
Of course, Mr. Pei himself has to bear this responsibility!
Pei Qian thought for a moment and said, "In that case, this movie is funded by Tengda. I will figure out the script. You and Director Zhu Xiaoce only need to be responsible for the filming."
In this way, if the movie fails, the blame will be placed on Mr. Pei, and Tengda's money will be the loser, which will not affect the mentality of Feihuang Studio employees.
Huang Sibo was stunned and said quickly: "Mr. Pei, you have misunderstood. I am not afraid of taking the blame, just because..."
Pei Qian smiled and waved his hand: " I understand.”
“You are now the CEO of Feihuang Studio, and you should be responsible for the projects under your control, and you should do your best to assess risks and ensure the profitability of the studio. This is right.”< /p>
"You can simply regard this shooting mission as an exercise opportunity, and it can also pave the way for Feihuang Studio to enter the film and television industry."
Huang Sibo's eyes were moist.
Impressed!
He could see that Mr. Pei was worried that if Feihuang Studio failed, it would undermine his and Director Zhu Xiaoce's confidence, so he took the initiative to invest and bear the risk of failure!
No matter whether the final film is a success or a failure, Feihuang Studio will definitely accumulate a lot of experience during the filming process and accelerate the growth of the studio.
Huang Sibo had a lot to say, but he felt that saying too many words of thanks to Mr. Pei was a bit too external.
Finally, thousands of words still turn into a thank you.
“Then follow Mr. Pei’s arrangementsYes, Feihuang Studio must cooperate well and successfully complete the shooting task! "
"Also, Mr. Pei. Feihuang Studio can't let all your work go in vain. We will offer you 100,000 yuan to buy your script. It's not a lot of money, but it's our sincere thought. Don't refuse. "
Huh? Spend 100,000 to buy a script?
Pei Qian originally said it casually, but when he heard the number 100,000, he immediately became energetic.
"OK! "
"I will give you the first draft of the script in two days! "
What an unexpected surprise!
Similar tricks have already been done before when filming "The Daily Life of Mr. Pei". Pei Qian made a guest appearance as an actor," I made a fortune by playing myself.
And this time, Pei Qian discovered a new way to make money.
Be a screenwriter!
There is a huge gap between the upper and lower price limits for screenwriters in the market. Leading screenwriters can earn six figures per episode, while some new screenwriters may only receive a few thousand or tens of thousands of dollars per episode, and they have to make repeated revisions day and night. .
This 100,000 yuan remuneration should be within the reasonable range according to the system's judgment, and it is not considered as a malicious attempt to obtain system funds.
For Pei Qian, he does not. The script needs to be written in more detail, just provide an idea.
In short, perfect!
The two chatted for a few more words, and Huang Sibo stood up to leave.
Now that he has decided to officially make a movie, Huang Sibo’s enthusiasm for work has been fully mobilized.
After returning to Feihuang Studio, he still has a lot of work to do, the most important thing. The first thing is to replenish manpower.
...
After Huang Sibo left, Pei Qian opened the document and started writing the script.
Pei Qian was completely devoted to the movie script. I know nothing about it.
But since this manuscript is worth 100,000 yuan, it must be arranged properly.
There is no need to open the document and do it! /p>
“First, decide on the theme! "
Pei Qian typed out the word "science fiction" on the document without hesitation.
Science fiction themes cost a lot of money and are easy to be scolded. It is indeed an area where bad movies are common, and it is very It is in line with the general direction of box office success.
Selecting a science fiction theme is already half the battle!
The second step is the general outline of the story.
Half an hour later.
There was still only the word "science fiction" on the document.
Pei Qian sighed silently, it seemed that he was not the material at all...
He originally wanted to write a rubbish story that insulted the audience's intelligence, but when he actually started writing, he realized that it was not that easy to write a rubbish story...
This At that time, Pei Qian really wished that he could recall the story outlines of those bad movies.
Unfortunately, Pei Qian is not an avid movie lover, and his experience in watching movies is very shallow.
Moreover, he dislikes bad movies and never watches premieres. As long as the movie's reputation is low, he will never buy a ticket.
So, Pei Qian couldn't remember the specific plots of those bad movies at all, and naturally he had no way to draw materials at this time.
After writing and deleting one line of text on the document, in the end there was only the word "science fiction".
Pei Qian scratched his head.
"It definitely won't work this way, I have to change my thinking a little bit."
"Well... I can write it the other way around!"
Pei Qian suddenly thought of A good way.
Whether you are making movies, writing, or making games, their cores are the same.
To make a good movie, the most important thing is to determine what the audience likes to see.
On the other hand, if you want to make a movie that hits the street, you just need to make content that the audience doesn’t like to watch, wouldn’t it be enough?
The plots of many bad movies are very empty and make people sleepy after watching them. Although this is a good idea, it is not very operable.
What troubles Pei Qian now is mainly some specific plots of this movie.
First determine some specific plots, and then add water to the script, so that the plot can be empty, boring, and drowsy.
So, what kind of plot is annoying?
Pei Qian couldn't help but think of a concept on the Internet.
Poisonous!
The so-called poisonous points are plots that make readers feel uncomfortable. For example, dog licking is a big poisonous point.
Thinking of this, Pei Qian was very satisfied and added a new line under "Science Fiction" and wrote: "The male protagonist is a licking dog."
As the saying goes, licking a dog is not good. die.
If the male protagonist succeeds in licking the heroine in the end, then the toxicity of the story will definitely be greatly reduced.
So Pei Qian started another line and wrote: "Licking the dog until there is nothing left."
After thinking about it, this plot seems not cruel enough.
"The male protagonist was cheated."
"The child is not his."
"The male protagonist wanted to raise this child, but the child hated him very much "
"After a series of blows, the male protagonist collapsed and decided to take revenge on society."
Pei Qian thought about it and felt it was inappropriate: "...No, male protagonist. He can't retaliate against society, after all, he is a coward."
Pei Qian doesn't want to make this movie into a superhero movie, like "Cuckold", and accidentally go abroad. If you win an award, something big will happen.
"After a series of blows, the male protagonist collapsed and chose to commit suicide."
Pei Qian still felt bad: "Well... suicide is just a plot after all. It’s not appropriate for the little girl to follow the old path of traditional tragedy.”
“The hero spends the rest of his life miserable.”
Pei Qian thought again. Thought: "I don't think so.Great, a little too bland. It is best to give the male protagonist a little hope of success at the end, and then ruthlessly extinguish it for him. ”
But what kind of small hope was it, and how was it extinguished?
Pei Qian has no good idea yet.
But he There is no need to rush, anyway, this script can be written in two or three days.
Just as he was about to close the document, Pei Qian thought of something else and bolded the word "science fiction". .
Don’t forget that this is a science fiction theme.
In order to spend more money on props and special effects, there must be some science fiction elements in the story.
Of course, what kind of science fiction elements are specifically reflected...
We will talk about it tomorrow.
Pei Qian read the current plot framework from beginning to end with satisfaction, and almost died from poison.
Poisonous, absolutely poisonous!
After this set of plot, it can be said that there are many poisonous points.
At that time, we just need to enrich the storyline, wrap it up with a layer of science fiction, and inject a little more water into the plot...
It will be all right!
"Hey, I'm such a wicked person. ”
Pei Qian feels that he seems to have a talent for making bad movies!
I should really enter the film industry as soon as possible!
