Chapter 17 A Script

Two nights later, Guan Shan returned home and sat tiredly on the chair in the study.

He just came back from a few old friends, everyone discussed it for a while, but no good ideas were found.

Not to mention the group of editors in the company, the script he came up with made him want to cry.

Of course, this also has something to do with the two good screenwriters being poached by Jiahe and Shaw Brothers.

Is it really that difficult to make a movie?

Guan Shan frowned, his eyes swept across the desk inadvertently, but he was surprised to find that there was a stack of paper neatly placed on the desk, and five large characters were written in regular script on the home page.

"Wrong Seven Days of Love".

What's the meaning?

what?

Guan Shan picked up the bundle of bound paper in surprise, and found that it was quite thick, at least hundreds of pages.

Let go of the second page, which is also very neatly written.

"The story takes place on Lantau Island, which is far from the city. Yang Naidong is a 30-year-old married woman. She and her husband who runs a business live in a two-story house on Lantau Island. Suddenly one day, she found out that her husband was gone..."

Guan Shan looked at it casually at first, but after looking at it, he became interested and became more and more careful.

His brows furrowed from time to time, and he smiled from time to time.

When he saw the end of the story, Li Du was at the pier preparing to return to Hong Kong Island, while Yang Naidong came to see him off on a small motorcycle. They were separated by more than ten meters, but they waved goodbye as if they were separated by the end of the world. Immediately it was imprinted on Guan Shan's heart.

The story ends here.

Rao is Guan Shan who is used to seeing the ending of a tragedy, and it's not a tragedy, it's just that two people who shouldn't be together have returned to their own lives, but Guan Shan's heart is still uneasy.

But this kind of story made him still reminisce for a long time when he closed his eyes. The joys and sorrows inside, the final reluctance to part, but the sadness of having to separate, all made Guan Shan seem to have experienced something.

After regaining his senses, Guan Shan took a sip of tea, only to realize that what he had read was only about ten pages of the story, and most of the rest had not been read.

Turning over another page, Guan Shan found that this was actually the performance details of the storyline.

"In the first part of the scenario, Li Du, who was first used as a security guard in the parking lot, suddenly fell down and rolled into the parking lot when he encountered a car that was turning and braking suddenly, showing his unfortunate situation. But Li Du himself would not I feel that I need to use slightly exaggerated expressions and movements to express a kind of laughing and unfortunate effect."

"In the second paragraph of the scene, Yang Naidong in a long white dress is picking flowers in a flower shop, focusing on expressing Yang Naidong's leisure and ease, and the overwhelm when he encounters her husband running away with love in the future, forming a distinct kind of Compared."

"In the third paragraph of the scene, Li Du was transferred to be a security guard at the gold store. He was holding a gun at the gate of the gold store. He saw a beautiful woman waiting for someone there, and walked around her. Unexpectedly, this beautiful woman was a The bait, when Li Du was trying his best to express himself, two people suddenly rushed out of the corner, beat him violently with sticks, and then stole his gun. Note: Although Xiangjiang does not have such security guards hanging around with guns, But it can better accentuate the comedy effect.”

"..."

Guan Shan watched section by section, and found that the details were expressed above, and all the plots that should be filmed were written out.

Not only the plot development, the character dialogue, but also the psychological manifestations are all shown.

This is a bit like a split-angle shot that is popular in foreign countries. If the director wants to shoot, just follow this directly, and the effect is absolutely good.

There are still a few pages at the end, and when Guan Shan looks at it again, it is the exterior, interior, decoration, and so on of a white villa.

Guan Shan, who had read the story, recognized it at a glance. This was the villa with the most plots in the story.

With this reference, just rent a villa and decorate it directly, it is a perfect movie scene shooting location!

Putting down the script, Guan Shan's mind turned quickly.

According to the plot of "Seven Days of Love in the Mistake", for such a play, at most a dozen people can meet the needs of the entire film, and even the main characters who really promote the development of the plot are just the male and female protagonists.

It wasn't difficult to shoot, and most of the time was spent in and around the villa on Lantau Island, so it didn't cost a lot of money for anything else.

The biggest expenses are the remuneration of the male and female protagonists, the cost of renting the villa, and the cost of shooting.

Guan Shan has been running a film company for several years, and he knows this by heart. After a little estimation, this movie can win at least 100,000 yuan, and at most 200,000 yuan.

Now the company has 500,000 funds, which is more than enough to make such a movie.

No, don't take that short-sighted man's money!

This movie is very interesting, you can make it all by yourself, so that all the money is yours, and you are too lazy to let this layman make more money!

Today's investors are getting more and more impetuous, and they are still making things difficult for themselves. If they knew this, they didn't need to find others to invest! ——When thinking about it like this, Guan Shan completely forgot, he never thought that there would be such a good script with such a small production waiting for him.

Of course, he doesn't think about it at all now, but thinks about film production and distribution.

The difficult question is how to show it.

In the early years, there was only such a large-scale cinema chain as Shaw Brothers, I am afraid Guanshan could only go to those scattered cinemas, because Shaw Brothers only showed their own movies.

But now that Golden Harvest has emerged, Golden Harvest Cinemas welcomes the release of films from other film companies. Although the subsidy fee is relatively high, it is still an upright way out. As long as the film is good, you can make money.

Is "The Wrong Seven Days of Love" a good script?

Of course it is!

Although emotion is the most important factor here, it is full of jokes all the time, making Guan Shan laugh several times, not to mention the ordinary audience.

If the production cost is 150,000 yuan, then if you add the basic package fee, distribution fee, printing fee, etc. to the theater, the estimated cost should be about 300,000 yuan.

Without the investment of others, 300,000 people can squeeze a little or borrow a little by themselves.

As long as the box office of "The Wrong Seven Days of Love" can exceed 600,000, then you can make money.

Last year's box office champion was "Fa Qianhan", with a box office of 5.06 million, and the 41st place was "A SIR Poisoned Tiger", about 808,000.

According to Guan Shan's many years of watching movies and acting in movies for so many years, "Seven Days of Love" is definitely better than "A SIR Poisoned Tiger". I dare not say that it has a box office of 2 million, but 1.5 million should still be able to If it is rushed, the minimum box office is also more than 1 million.

In this way, I can earn at least 300,000 to 400,000 yuan, and maybe 700,000 to 800,000 yuan if I am lucky.

You know, last year, he worked hard to film, but only earned more than 150,000!

Now a movie can bring in two or three times or even more income, which really makes him excited!

After drinking a few more sips of tea, Guan Shan forced himself to calm down.

It was only at this moment that he thought of who actually wrote the script for "The Seven Days of Love"? Why put it in front of you?

Suddenly a little flustered, he rushed out, grabbed the script and ran into his room, "Wife, wife, did you put the script on my desk? Where did you get it? This script has been cast in several movies. company?"

Zhang Bingqian, who was applying the mask, was puzzled for a while, "What are you talking about? What script? I don't know."

"Didn't you put it?" Guan Shan was even more surprised, ""The Seven Days of Love in the Wrong Table"! Don't you know this script?"

"Of course I don't know, I haven't touched these things now." Zhang Bingqian said amusingly.

"Look, look... this, this is not you, who else could it be?"

Guan Shan shoved the script into Zhang Bingqian's hands, looking a little impatient.

Zhang Bingqian took over the script and flipped it casually, her face changed a bit: "This..."

"What is this?" Guan Shan asked.

"Is this script good?" Zhang Bingqian raised her head and asked.

"Nonsense! Absolutely first-class good script! Can make a lot of money!!" Guan Shan tore off his tie and said, "Just put it on my desk, I just read it, not only the detailed plot, but also the sub-shots, There is also the scene painting design... This is completely a movie! Anyone who is familiar with the movie can follow the script! I have never seen Xiangjiang's screenwriter write the script so seriously!!"

Seeing Guan Shan's impatience, Zhang Bingqian could only tell the truth, "I really didn't put this script down, but I know who wrote it."

"Who?"

"Didn't Yin Jun live in our house some time ago? He wrote a few songs for his daughter, you know?"

"I know."

"The name of the score, and some annotations, are very similar to the handwriting of this script."

"real!?"

Among the surprises of Guan Shan, he couldn't believe it: "Junzi can write the script? This, how is this possible!?"

"You ask me, who should I ask?" Zhang Bingqian spread her hands. "There are only a few of us in this family. Since it's not you and me, then you can ask your precious daughter! It must have something to do with her."

"it is good!"

Guan Shan grabbed the script and rushed out without thinking. Under the "dong dong dong" knock on the door of her daughter's room, Guan Zhilin, who was already asleep, opened the door sleepily.

Seeing her red-faced father, Guan Zhilin whitened her beautiful big eyes, "Daddy, what are you doing?"

"Jiahui, did you give me this script? Jun Zai wrote it?" Guan Shan waved the script and asked in a trembling voice.

"Oh, this script..."

Guan Zhilin's eyes have focal length, and after such a pause, Guan Shan's heartbeat soared, and she was afraid that her hopes would be dashed.

"Yes, Brother Jun gave it to you, how is it?" Guan Zhilin smiled and nodded, "I looked at it and it seemed to be pretty good, but the ending was too boring!"

"Hey, you girl! What do you know, that's how it's called!"

Guan Shan was very happy and tapped his daughter's head gently, "By the way, this script was really written by Jun Zai himself? Did he give it to someone else?"

"Of course it was written by Brother Jun." Guan Zhilin suddenly became unhappy, "It was someone who said that Daddy was struggling to find a script recently, so he wrote one for you, just for you! I was not in the car before. I told you and Mommy that Brother Jun is writing stories when he has nothing to do, and Mommy is still laughing at him!"

"Good! Good! Great!"

After confirming that this was a script written by Yin Jun for himself, Guan Shan was so excited that he almost floated, and he didn't care about the rest.

Suddenly kissing her daughter's face, Guan Shan laughed and ran back to his room.

"hate~~"

Guan Zhilin wiped her face, but seeing Daddy so happy, she knew that this script must be excellent.

It's really nice to be able to help Daddy, but it's a no-brainer~~

Thinking of this, Miss Guan had a bright smile on her face.

My brother Jun, never let me down! !
