Chapter 324 [Please Vote for the Big Chapter]
Busy days pass quickly.
For a week, screenwriter Wang did nothing but read and revise the script.
Two hours of in-depth reading time every day, all used to read relevant works——
"Story: The Principles of Material, Structure, Style, and Screen Drama" by Mackey.
"plot! plot! Bringing Stories to Life Through Character, Suspense, and Conflict," by Noah Luckman.
"Fundamentals of Film Technology" by Harper.
"The Art of Screenwriting" by Lajosh Egli.
…
Four highly valuable screenwriting books have been carefully selected, three of which are written by American authors, which shows the maturity of American film theory.
By the end of the week, the text version of the domestic version of "The Witch" was roughly formed, and the remaining work was to repeatedly revise the details and strengthen the main plot.
There are two directions of reinforcement.
First, continue to work hard on suspense. If the front is not enough, then use suspense to support it.
Second, cut unnecessary scenes to ensure the clarity and compactness of the main line.
In addition to the script, there are third and fourth strengthening directions——
Third, strengthen special effects.
Especially for the super special effects, appropriate sound and light are added to make the performance more intense.
Fourth, strengthen fighting.
The fighting effect of the original work is very good, and the part that can be enhanced is mainly the beauty of the action.
Under non-special effects shots, the main actors' movements lack explosive power and rhythmic beauty.
In fact, I don’t blame the actors and directors. They are a group of actors who are not from martial arts schools. The heroine is even more delicate and frail, so it is really difficult for her to perform well.
The above two points were not something that Wang Yan could handle. He had to ask professionals to help.
But Wang Da Shaosheng has the finished product in mind, and he knows where to improve and how to make it more effective.
The reason is simple——
When watching a movie, what made Wang Yan "fuck" was that it was unexpected, beyond imagination, and handsome enough.
Wherever Wang Yan feels that it is not hearty enough and feels less satisfying, it needs to be strengthened.
As an audience, is it not easy to point fingers?
As for how to achieve it, that is the director's job.
Anyway, I don’t want your money, you have to give me good results.
October 31st was another weekend, and Mr. Wang hurriedly boarded a flight to Shanghai.
Just after getting off the plane, He Miaomiao sent a WeChat message.
"Ergou, I suddenly want to eat stewed oxtail, please go with me!"
I don't know if she was too domineering in the dream, but now Miss He is becoming more and more rude to Wang Yan.
Wang Yan can't help but wonder: Who is it in the dream? !
Little knowledge, can't figure it out.
But you are always rude, how boring is that?
If you are capable, you are really welcome!
Come, take me!
That didn't really exist. Over the past week, the two of them had barely spoken to each other.
Wang Yan is busy, and the eldest lady probably needs to recover and regain her mood...
Wang Yan turned around and took a photo of the terminal building and sent it back to her.
"work overtime."
"Oh, then you can be busy, I'll play by myself."
The eldest lady was still very considerate and let Wang Yan go.
The young man went to the VIP waiting room and sat down, waiting for Mr. Xiong and Mr. Xiong to arrive.
30 minutes later, the Imperial Capital flight landed, and a pair of sisters walked out of the terminal arm in arm.
The girls of Diwu have one characteristic - they don't usually wear high heels.
Those peripheral young models and nightclub princesses wish they could wear high heels all year round, but the imperial dance girls don’t.
Because the body proportions of those who can pass the exam are too good, wearing flat shoes will only make the legs longer.
Besides, daily dance practice is so tiring, and when I rarely go out, I focus on comfort.
The two girls wear exactly the same flat shoes and jeans, Nawu's T-shirt is a little looser, and Fu Yushi's shirt is more slim-fitting. She has a slim waist and long legs, eh, eh, eh, her face is half makeup, and her youthful appearance is as natural as nature's. She is admired by countless men. Take a peek.
Seeing Wang Yan from a distance, they both waved.
"Woof woof, here!"
Wang Yan smiled brightly and opened his arms to greet him.
"Long time no see, I miss you so much!"
Being pushed away mercilessly.
"I'll take advantage of you and ask for a beating!"
Okay, it's good. If Wang Yan hugs her, Wang Yan won't dare.
The main purpose of praising them was to test their attitudes and see if there was any change.
When Wang Yan woke up, he figured it out. The second Ya who kept shouting about having a baby in the dream was Na Wu, and the big Ya who had not spoken a few times was Fu Yushi.
In the dream, the two people's personalities are even more extreme.
Erya is full of enthusiasm, dares to love, hate, and is infatuated and naive, while Daya is quiet, cold, silent, and beautiful alone. They are both ruthless people.
Why did the two of them appear next to Wang Ergou and be born in a small mountain village?
Wang Yan didn't understand. Anyway, that kind of closeness couldn't be faked.
Today is the first time after the dream that we have met in person. Mr. Wang observed carefully for a while and found no clues.
Is there no memory of the dream at all, or is it hidden deep in my heart?
Wang Yan couldn't tell.
Woman, your name is Actor!
…
After getting on Kerry's welcome car, Wang Yan took them back to the hotel to look at the room.
As soon as she went upstairs, Fu Yushi felt a little helpless.
"Halo! It's the Presidential Suite again... Woah, can you keep a low profile? Are we living in the Presidential Suite?"
Nawu ignored her and looked around happily.
"Wow, wow, I really like having a bathroom!"
Young Master Wang laughed: "It only costs more than 20,000 yuan a night. If you don't live here, it will be in vain!"
faint!
Fu Yushi rolled her eyes and complained: "You are becoming less and less good at speaking human words..."
Wang Yan still raised his eyebrows at her in a sullen tone: "You are the future pillar of our company. Come on, little Gongju, help me stand up!"
"I'm too lazy to care about you... bring me the contract!"
"Where did I get the contract? Let's wait for Brother Xizi."
Young Master Wang raised his hand to look at his watch and strolled towards the wine cabinet.
"Have a drink, or should we eat first?"
Fu Yushi shook her head: "I'm not hungry."
The two of them looked up at Nawu who was running around in the room at the same time.
"Rere, are you hungry?"
"Come sit here and let me see your head."
Upon hearing the greeting, Na Wu sat down next to Wang Yan with a pout, reluctantly peeled off Liu Hai and showed Wang Yan his forehead.
"I haven't gone down yet, I guess I won't be able to go down... Hey!"
Wang Yan looked carefully and saw that the wound had healed well and was not raised. It only formed three fine white lines, which were two shades lighter than the surrounding skin color.
As for how ugly it is, it's not that ugly. As long as you don't tie up your hair, you can't even see it.
But hanging there, it was always a worry. No wonder Nawu would cry whenever I mentioned it.
Yes, let’s find some time to coax her to eat the pancakes...
Looking at the [Pancake Man] card in the inventory, Mr. Wang couldn't help but want to laugh.
That picture is so beautiful that I dare not look at it, but I have to take pictures!
Nawu shrank back from Wang Yan's smile, her eyes wary.
"Wow, what bad things are you thinking about?! Be careful, I will sue Liu Li for you!"
"Looking for her?"
The young master curled his lips disdainfully, "She can't even protect herself... If you don't believe me, ask her, does she dare to come?"
That momentum was so impressive.
Na Wu was so amused that Fu Yushi shook her head and turned back to the wine cabinet to pick out some wine.
Just as he was hesitating, Youcai knocked on the door and came in. Behind him, the waiter pushed a trolley with a variety of fresh fruits, snacks, and seven or eight bottles of wine.
"Mr. Wang, these are the French desserts specially made by our hotel's pastry chef for you and the female guest, as well as some of your favorite wines. They are all free. Please use them!"
It was both Fu Yushi's and Na Wu's first time to come to Magic City, and they were shocked when they saw Wang Yan's appearance in Magic City Kerry for the first time.
"Okay, Gouzi. It's better than living in Shangri-La, the imperial capital."
"How can it be compared?" Wang Yan laughed dumbly, "The consumption amount is only one digit difference..."
Just the more than 100 rooms that were packed with activities last week cost more than 200,000 yuan - the price after discount.
Not to mention the heat the event brought to Kerry Grass.
Mr. Ai really treated Wang Yan as his ancestor.
The young Gongju didn't bother to pay attention to Wang Yan's remarks, so he picked out a bottle of Perrier-Jouët and opened it himself - the taste was exactly the same as the eldest princess.
The three of them sat in front of the balcony to bask in the sun, drinking and chatting.
Young Master Wang doesn't like to show off luxury goods, but he can't help showing off that book.
With a smile, he took out the script from his bag, handed it to Fu Yushi, and raised his eyebrows: "Let's take a look, it's a project specially prepared for you!"
"Witch 1, super power out of control...did you write it?!"
Fu Yushi looked at the familiar handwriting on the cover and lost her voice in surprise.
"Um."
Wang Dashaoyun nodded lightly and did not emphasize the "written specifically for you", showing his true nature.
Fu Yushi couldn't wait to open the script and read on.
Like Lin Weiwei, Na Wu had a headache whenever she read a book. She didn't join in the fun with Fu Yushi and directly pulled Wang Yan to ask questions.
"Woof woof, are you going to make a movie for Shishi? Is it an online movie or one that will be officially released?!"
"Of course if it is released in theaters, the investment should be very high."
Na Wu was shocked: "Wow! You are a complete layman, you are not afraid of losing money?!"
The key is not to lose money...
The original version crossed the profit-and-loss line in the first week in South Korea. The final results were not that great, but the reputation exploded, and overseas copyright earnings skyrocketed. The second part was widely anticipated, and the results can be expected.
And she directly won the Grand Bell Award for Best New Actress, which won both box office and awards, making a lot of money.
Based on the size of the domestic film market, if the film after the enhanced magic modification still suffered losses, Mr. Wang would definitely kill the director directly.
You can't lose money even if you invite Si Niang to come and shoot. What's going on with you and me? !
Although he thought so in his heart, Mr. Wang did not fully show his confidence and just smiled calmly.
"If you lose money, treat it like paying tuition. Sooner or later, Wang Ting Entertainment will get involved in the film and television industry, so treat it as training the team."
Fu Yushi's eyes froze, she bit her lip lightly, and read the script with confusion.
Na Wu was still so heartless and laughed weirdly: "It's okay. If you lose money, I will let the young master be your maid and serve Uncle Wang front and back. She will still get 3,000 a day... Hey, how much money do you plan to invest?" How many years will it take for Xiao Gongju to work? "
"According to your calculation, she can earn 1.08 million a year and lose 10 million in 10 years..."
Wang Yan laughed dumbly.
Na Wu continued to argue enthusiastically: "Which maid can get a monthly salary of 90,000 yuan? It's cheap enough for her... If it doesn't work, you can design some special allowances and charging items..."
"Shut up, you!"
Fu Yushi couldn't hold it any longer and hurriedly interrupted.
"Hey hey hey..."
Young Master Wang and Na Wu looked at each other and laughed tacitly.
Fu Yushi was so annoyed by the two of them that she picked up her wine glass and walked to the reception area, nestled on the sofa and hid far away.
The next second, Nawu Diandian followed and lay down next to Xiaogongju, resting on her legs to prevent her from running away.
Then he continued to pester Wang Yan with questions.
"Wow, you haven't said how much investment you will make?"
"I can't figure it out. How can I calculate that thing..."
Wang Yan spread his hands, feeling helpless.
"But in the whole film, there are no big scenes, no explosions, no complex special effects, and the heroine is so cheap..."
The young man glared fiercely.
"There's no point in glaring at me! I'm telling you, I'll give you a salary of 500,000 yuan at most! You don't know what your price is?"
Wang Yan looked really annoying, and Na Wu was rolling on the little princess's lap with laughter, which was even more annoying.
Fortunately, it was Fu Yushi, but if it was Lin Weiwei, Bao Bao would be furious now.
He lowered his head to read the script and ignored them.
Mr. Wang sat down across from him, crossed his legs, and continued leisurely: "Spend money hard, match the veteran actors, and choose a new actor as the second male lead. The shooting cost will not exceed 50 million, right?"
If Xuanfa offers another 50 million, he can win 100 million. "
"Nonsense!"
Fu Yushi finally couldn't hold back and spoke.
"How can you use so much? 20 million for filming, 20 million for promotion, and 40 million. It's a huge amount of money! Is your money brought by the strong wind?"
"whispering sound!"
Young Master Wang curled his lips disdainfully: "I have to bend down to pick up the ones blown by the strong wind..."
Ouch, ouch, I’m so angry!
Na Wu was less stimulated. She hugged Fu Yushi's waist and encouraged her hard: "Oh, Wang Wang has money, don't save it for him. Anyway, whatever you save will belong to Xiao Liuli... Can 20 million be used?"
Fu Yushi explained to her seriously.
"Didn't you watch "Who's So Worried", which was released at the end of September? The box office was over 1 billion, and the filming cost was 21 million.
In fact, the salary of the Mahua team + director is 900+. How much is the actual production cost?
The initial announcement was more than 1,000, but later it was increased to 3,000. That was because the film was a hit.
As for the one you're particularly looking forward to, "Old Hounds of the Capital", the actors' pay is even more terrible, and the production cost is still less than 1,000.
I probably flipped through the scene construction of the script. In terms of shooting difficulty, there is no essential difference between us and the previous two. 20 million is more than enough.
Don’t look at the announced costs of many films, which are often half a hundred million or a hundred million. In fact, everyone who knows where they are spent on them will understand.
As we are making our own debut film, we must tighten our finances and spend our money wisely. "
Xiao Gongju is really smart, and he obviously doesn't rely on his looks to get by. Everything he talks about is on point and has a lot of heart.
But Mr. Wang ignored those trivial matters and asked abruptly: "What if I really hire a top traffic partner for you?"
Fu Yushi was stunned.
"Don't, don't make trouble...it's more than 10 million, what can't you do?! Besides, what's more, I'm going to have an affair with the top guy right after I debuted?!"
Na Wu was a little dumbfounded.
"Woah woah, top fans are not easy to mess with. They will get you into trouble. Are you serious?"
So what about the top?
I just want to use your fame to help my sister-in-law climb the ladder to heaven. Do you dare to touch Fu Yushi? !
Are fans difficult to deal with?
They are just a group of people who bring their own dry food to the tap. Apart from staring at the keyboard and typing on the keyboard to warm up the little man, what else can they do? !
After that, give them a few big slaps, and keep educating them to be honest.
In order for an actress to rise to the top, she needs to be talked about, but she cannot take the initiative to make trouble, otherwise it will ruin her popularity.
Then find a popular little guy and lend you his head, okay?
The current Fugui brother is really coquettish and bad. With a roll of his eyes, Xuanfa had already thought about it.
"Shishi, you do need to bear some pressure from public opinion, but if you think you can handle it, I will really find a top-notch voice actor for you, which will be good for the film and you."
A male supporting actor who debuted in a top-notch movie? !
Fu Yushi felt so excited just thinking about it, and her heart was beating violently.
But she still had her doubts.
"But...the negative effect of traffic on the film's reputation, as well as the issues of cost and acting skills...should you consider it carefully? I'm not in a hurry, really."
As a friend and as an employee, Fu Yushi is qualified.
Well, even excellent.
But Wang Yan was not just having a sudden idea. In fact, when he was considering hiring a national master to be the director, the young master had already considered repeatedly how to increase the probability of the film's explosion from multiple angles.
The conclusion is that the imperial master cannot be invited, so please come and be sure to finish.
But Xiaoxianrou can be considered.
“The pros and cons are actually very easy to weigh.”
Young Master Wang cleared his throat and explained his overall considerations to Fu Yushi in detail.
“First of all, it’s a matter of acting skills.
In terms of settings for the male lead, several important labels are neurotic, moody, evil, cool and handsome, and requires a certain amount of action skills.
If you can find a suitable target and act in your true colors, you can easily solve the acting problem.
The lines are really bad, at most they are post-dubbing, very simple.
Compared with acting skills, I hope he has some martial arts or dance skills. It is more important to be beautiful.
The second issue is the overall reputation of the film.
The only female lead is you, the focus is not on the second male lead. If you act well and the action is awesome, the film will have a good reputation.
The acting skills of the second male lead are only a very insignificant influencing factor.
As for the significant increase in costs...
You can save money on publicity and distribution costs, and you may still make money.
Why do so many blockbusters like to hire young actors nowadays?
Traffic + eyeballs, publicity is too easy.
Judging from the monster towers and tomb robbers that have been released so far, the effect is very significant.
Moreover, you are the pillar of our company, and the other party’s traffic can guarantee your topicality for at least a whole year. This means that we can spend one dollar to do two things, and we will definitely make a profit. "
"But……"
Nawu frowned, her deep facial features a bit awkward.
"Why would a top-tier actor accept a role as a supporting actor? We don't invest heavily in big productions, and we don't have bonuses from famous directors..."
Wang Yan is very confident.
"First of all, I have money and I'm willing to make an offer. There are many people who can refuse me. I'm afraid there aren't many people who can refuse the money, right?
Secondly, we are not in a rush to make the film, and we can accommodate each other a little bit in terms of schedule.
Finally, I am better at... ahem, I am better at persuading people with reason.
The reputation of the top film and television actors is not very good. Now, they want to prove themselves more than anyone else and truly establish themselves in the film industry. I think they have a great chance. "
Wang Yan was really good at deceiving, not only Fu Yushi but also Na Wu nodded his head.
From an investor's perspective, Da Shao's thoughts and ideas are extremely clear and feasible, and he takes advantage of favorable factors to the extreme. He is a qualified black-hearted businessman.
If the young master just throws money away without caring about it, Fu Yushi would really be murmuring in her heart.
Rich and willful people are only suitable for hanging out together, not working together.
What kind of boss is a good boss?
If you are evil-hearted to the outside world, you will be rewarded for your merits internally. Only in this way can you lead everyone to get rich.
Fu Yushi hadn't even finished reading the script, but she was so excited that she clenched her fists tightly and reflected the vast starry sky in her eyes...
The small universe is on fire!
Nawu was even more excited than she was, but when she smacked her lips, she suddenly felt something was wrong.
"Eh? Wang Yan, are you a little too attentive to Shishi?! Tell me, what bad ideas do you have?!"
"Why are your thoughts so dirty?!"
Young Master Wang spoke righteously, and his face was filled with kindness.
"She is a friend and a partner who makes money for me. To praise her is to praise me. Is that what she should be doing both emotionally and rationally?"
Nawu ignored him, chuckled, and whispered to Fu Yushi.
"Shishi, today's opportunity is really good. Let me see. You might as well go to Producer Wang to work on a scene tonight and ask for advice on the plot. Settle this matter as soon as possible. Don't let some little bitch mess it up. , what do you think?”
Fu Yushi grabbed it out of habit and squeezed it hard...
Just listen to "Gulu".
Someone is swallowing.
"Ah! Fu Yushi, do you want to die?!"
Na Wu exploded all of a sudden.
In the past, tens of thousands of people were touched, but now they still dared to stand up to a single Zhan Wushu Xiaogongju.
When he pounced on him, he just picked and hammered him randomly.
Young Master Wang watched the two of them quarreling, and his soul flew away.
I always feel that there is something else I want to talk to Fu Yushi about. What is it?
Until Wang Yunxi knocked on the door, the young master didn't even think about it.
Well, let’s sign the contract first...
Wang Yunxi wanted to explain the terms, but Fu Yushi didn't even look at it. She opened it and started signing.
Wang Yunxi murmured in his heart: Where did Wang Yan find so many silly girls?
The former Gao Ya and the latter Fu Yushi are both masters who sign contracts without eyes. Looking at their posture, I wish I could just sign the contract of sale...
Na Wu watched eagerly from the side, and suddenly asked without any warning: "Wow, is there anything else like this? Can you give me one too?"
Do you think this is ordering at a restaurant? !
Wang Yan asked dumbfounded: "Why are you getting involved? Do you also want to make a movie?"
"I can take pictures of anything! Of course, it's best to just wander around without taking pictures of anything..."
Nawu blurted out an answer, and then felt embarrassed, lowering her head and playing with her fingers.
"I want it anyway...otherwise what if I'm separated from everyone in the future?"
Silly girl!
Fu Yushi sighed and hugged her without saying a word.
Young Master Wang sighed and wanted to hug her, but he didn't dare after thinking about it.
"Okay, herding a sheep is also herding, and herding a herd is also herding. If you are not afraid of running out of resources and eating dirt at home, just come!"
If one day, you both take a fancy to a resource, I hope you won’t regret it then...
At the moment, Nawu had no such concept in her mind. When she heard this, she jumped up excitedly and stretched out her hand to Wang Yan happily.
"Bring me the contract! Anyway, I told you in advance that I'm not good at anything. I can't sing, dance, chat, or even tell lies. Don't expect to make money from me. If you want to exploit me, just exploit Shishi... "
What to squeeze?
Don't even think about it!
Wang Yan shook his head and assigned Wang Yunxi to sign three more contracts. He touched his chin and fell into deep thought.
After the dream, the relationship between Xiong Da and Xiao Gongju heated up so quickly...
It's not that they haven't kissed before, it's just that they don't seem to be close to the extent now, and the lilies are about to bloom.
magic……
What were you two doing in the dream?
Can we repeat it tonight?
Don’t get me wrong, I have no other intention, I’m just curious!
It's the beginning of the month. If you don't want to be on the list, why don't you ask for a vote? Everyone has it, but I don't. How pitiful does it look?
