November 17th.
Pei Qian received a call from Huang Sibo and wanted to go to Feihuang Studio to finalize the script and other matters regarding the filming of the film.
More than two weeks have passed since Pei Qian's script was written.
During the past two weeks, Zhu Xiaoce and the screenwriters from Feihuang Studio have been constantly improving the script given by Mr. Pei, and are also making preliminary preparations.
Now that the script has been finalized, Pei Qian, as the film’s financier, must still make a final decision. This is a matter of attitude.
Of course, if Pei Qian finds that Zhu Xiaoce has made too many changes to the script and seriously weakened its toxicity, he will definitely have to say something.
Mr. Pei has become more and more Buddhist when it comes to things like coming up with ideas and making decisions.
Because he discovered that no matter which choice he made, the backstab would come as promised!
When working on "Sea Fortress", Pei Qian just gave the general direction and let employees play freely with the details, and then the game became popular;
As a "Game Producer" At that time, Pei Qian picked out the details word by word, making Lu Mingliang completely become a tool, but the game was still popular;
When investing in Ma Yang, Pei Qian didn’t have much idea about the direction of the investment. The many demands did not limit Lao Ma's performance at all, but...
In short, it was all tears.
Pei Qian discovered that no matter whether he was in charge of the project or to what extent he was in charge, the final result would be the same.
In this case, why bother to bother...
It would be too much if Mr. Pei were to pick out words word by word like he did in "Game Producer" Tired.
So Pei Qian planned to go to Feihuang Studio to have a casual look, go through the motions, put forward as many "opinions" as possible, and resist a little symbolically.
As the saying goes, people make plans and God makes things happen. This kind of thing cannot be forced.
Pei Qian arrived at the office of Feihuang Studio, and Huang Sibo and Zhu Xiaoce welcomed him into the reception room.
After such a long period of development, Feihuang Studio’s staffing has been quite complete, including directors, screenwriters, set managers, post-production, editing, special effects, etc. The entire office area looks quite lively. Preparations for a new drama are in full swing.
When he came to the reception room, Pei Qian took a sip of tea, and the first thing he did was to tell Huang Sibo.
"Although Feihuang Studio is currently prospering, we must not forget the spirit of Tengda. It is a good thing that everyone has a high enthusiasm for work, but we must not turn a blind eye to the issue of overtime. Do you understand?"
Huang Sibo nodded quickly: "Don't worry, Mr. Pei, all the rules, regulations and benefits of Feihuang Studio are in line with Tengda. How could you do such a rebellious thing?"
Pei Qian nodded, very satisfied with Huang Sibo's statement.
Zhu Xiaoce handed over a thick stack of dramasBen: "Mr. Pei, this is the completed script. Please take a look at it. If there are some contents in it that are not in line with your original intention, just point it out and we will revise it again and again."
Pei Qian continued. After reading this thick script, I saw the title of the movie at first glance.
Before, Pei Qian just wrote a simple synopsis of the story and did not give the movie a title.
However, Zhu Xiaoce and the screenwriting team of Feihuang Studio not only completed the details of the script, but also gave the movie a name.
"Better Tomorrow".
There is also an English name called "torrowisbeautiful".
Seeing this name, Pei Qian couldn't help but give a thumbs up secretly.
Okay!
Well done!
This is a very poisonous script, and it will definitely make you depressed after reading it.
The name of this movie does not reflect the toxicity of the movie at all, but is very confusing.
"Better Tomorrow", the name sounds like a very heartwarming literary film. It will definitely deceive many people who don't know the truth, and maybe there will be sweet lovers.
Isn’t this enough to be called a dog? The reputation is absolutely shattered!
Pei Qian nodded slightly and continued to look down.
Seeing Mr. Pei nodding, Zhu Xiaoce, who was sitting opposite, couldn't help but feel inspired.
My script was approved by Mr. Pei!
My interpretation of this script is completely correct!
Obviously, Mr. Pei also understood the profound meaning of the movie’s title. Sure enough, geniuses have such sympathy for each other!
Pei Qian didn't know Zhu Xiaoce's excitement at this time. He flipped through the thick script at will and picked out a few plots to focus on.
The original simple story outline has been expanded into very detailed details, including settings, lines, actions, etc., allowing people to roughly picture the scenes of the movie.
Pei Qian has only one feeling: Adding poison to poison!
Although the previous synopsis of the script was poisonous, it was just a synopsis after all, and the plot was very simple. But now, the dialogue, expressions, etc. between the heroine and the hero have been written in detail. If you think about the BGM at that time, the toxicity...
It is simply off the charts.
Pei Qian couldn’t bear to read it, it was so miserable!
After roughly flipping through it, Pei Qian confirmed that Zhu Xiaoce and the screenwriting team did not make any changes to the story outline, but honestly refined the story and expanded it into a script. .
The toxicity has not weakened at all, but has been greatly enhanced due to the increase in details!
Seeing this, Pei Qian felt at ease.
If it is shot honestly, it will definitely be a script about the return of all poisons!
“This script is perfect!”
“I am very satisfied.”
Pei Qian highly praised the work of Zhu Xiaoce and the screenwriting team.
Zhu Xiaoce couldn't help but smile on his face: "No, it's Mr. Pei who wrote the script well. We just did some trivial work."
The two were chatting. , Pei Qian's phone rang.
Pei Qian saw that it was Chang You calling.
"Hello? Mr. Pei, I want to tell you that the preliminary preparations are almost completed, the office space is ready, and all my brothers have joined the job."
"Today we want to confirm the product form of the mobile phone a little bit, including some preliminary work task planning. If you have time, can you come over to guide the work?"
Guide the work?
This is a bit unfortunate.
Pei Qian still has to discuss the script with Zhu Xiaoce and others at Feihuang Studio, so he probably won’t have time today.
Is it "guiding" Feihuang Studio with rich experience in success, or "guiding" Dream Team with rich experience in failure?
The choice is obvious.
Of course, Pei Qian can also ask Chang You and the others to hold a meeting tomorrow, but after thinking about it carefully, it seems that there is no point in asking everyone to wait for a day just because of this.
Pei Qian feels that he cannot interfere in too many things about OTTO Technology. On the one hand, it will easily affect the performance of the dream team; on the other hand, if the phone is messed up after taking the initiative to intervene, it will be equivalent to Mr. Pei helping Lin Wanfen. Taking part of the blame will not help Lin Wan figure it out and go back to inherit the family business. < /p>
Chang You: "Okay, Mr. Pei! Please rest assured, we will complete the task!"
After hanging up the phone, Pei Qian and Zhu Xiaoce continued to discuss the script.
Zhu Xiaoce hesitated and said: "Mr. Pei, there is still an issue that has not been determined."
"You should have noticed that the names of the characters in this script have not been determined yet. This is Because we can’t make up our minds, should the protagonist of this story be an Easterner or a Westerner?”
“In the synopsis of your story, it seems that this is a future world only vaguely. , but did not emphasize information such as country."
Pei Qian nodded, well, this is indeed a problem.
“Since it is happening in the future world, the national factors must be blurred.”
“Besides, this kind of story cannot happen in our country.”
p>
“The characters, scenery, etc. in the play are all in English, and the lines are also in English.”
“The leading actors are also looking for foreigners. If you can’t find a suitable one, then you can find someone who speaks in English. A good Chinese actor, his identity in the play does not need to be stated, the audience will naturally understand that he is of Chinese descent." Pei Qian feels that foreign supporting actors must be more expensive than domestic ones!
Since it canIf you spend more money, you definitely can’t let it go.
Zhu Xiaoce nodded quickly: "Yes, Mr. Pei, I think so too."
"However, we may encounter a problem, that is...it is difficult for us to go overseas." It is difficult for big-name actors, even actors with average reputations.”
“After all, this is the first time for Feihuang Studio to make such a theatrical movie, and they basically have no reputation abroad, even if they are paid. , I am afraid it will be difficult for well-known actors to come across the ocean to Jingzhou..."
"So, the problem of supporting actors is easy to solve, it is these few leading actors, especially the male protagonist and this judge... It's not easy."
"Because these two people have a lot of roles and have relatively high requirements for acting skills."
"So you can see if these two actors can do it. Find domestic actors to act?"
Pei Qian thought for a while: "Okay."
"But...if we can't hire well-known foreign actors, how can we do it with domestic ones? "?"
Zhu Xiaoce smiled helplessly: "It's not good either."
"But domestic actors have easier communication and have greater chances." ”
Pei Qian originally wanted to just find a few newcomers from the school to be the protagonists, but then he thought again, the newcomers’ asking price was too low, and it was not easy to pay them much.
No matter what, we have to find one or two people with higher status, otherwise the budget for actors’ salaries will probably not be fully spent.
But who to look for? This is another problem.
Pei Qian suddenly thought of a candidate.
I know one of the domestic actors and have even worked with him!
Fried pork trotters!
Zhang Zuting has been criticized a lot since he last endorsed "War Hymn", but the scandal has caused him to become a fan, which has brought him a lot of traffic. Even he himself does not reject it now. Fried pig's trotters" is called this.
Of course, Pei Qian still remembers this old friend.
Lao Zhang is Tengda's good friend, so we can't treat him badly. As the saying goes, good things don't go to outsiders. With such a high salary, he must be the one to take the lead.
Even if the show hits the streets and gets hacked, everyone will definitely blame the screenwriter.
As long as Lao Zhang's acting skills in the movie pass, the audience will never criticize him.
Moreover, there is a character in the script that is very suitable for Lao Zhang, that is, this bad and scumbag judge.
The more Pei Qian thought about it, the more suitable it became, and said: "I will also help with the actor aspect."
"I will contact Zhang Zuting later and ask him about his schedule, if possible. , you can let him play the role of judge."
"As for the leading role... you look for it, and I will look for it, and we will discuss it if there is a suitable candidate."
Zhu Xiaoce was pleasantly surprised: "Zhang Zuting? It would be great if he can do it. He is an experienced actor and his acting skills are absolutely unbeatable! Moreover, his English is pretty good and he can speak English throughout the filming process."
"Mr. Pei really has a lot of friends!"
