Chapter 430 Big Liar? Not Ordinary
According to what Wei Fei said, at least art films still have a market, but there is really no market for science fiction films.
The market here means that the audience is really hurt.
You have to know that although art films have always been a niche in recent years, they have always had an audience base. More importantly, there are many good art films, which is also due to the audience.
But science fiction movies are not good. The door to science fiction movies was directly closed by "The Fall of the Demon City".
Then some unbelieving science fiction movies were made, and they all failed.
As for low-cost science fiction movies, it is not necessary to say that they are soft science fiction rather than science fiction movies.
Or just a little bit of science fiction.
In addition, just like Lin Xing did not agree that "Going to Heaven" was an art film, in fact, most audiences also did not think that science fiction movies in recent years were science fiction movies.
Or many science fiction movies dare not say that they are science fiction movies.
Because science fiction movies often represent bad movies.
For this reason, even Liang Yuan did not think this script was good, and you know what happened. Even Wei Fei also thought it was unacceptable.
She just mentioned it in passing.
"This Sun Feng is really good."
Before Lin Xing could speak, Xin Hui was already a little angry: "I told him that Lao Liang and I would not invest in this science fiction movie. We are not really stupid and rich, but this guy came to the celebration party..."
Liang Yuan also smiled bitterly: "I think I have made it clear to Sun Feng just now, but I really didn't expect this guy to be so persistent."
"Science fiction?"
Lin Xing's eyes suddenly lit up: "Don't say that my agent has received a lot of scripts, but most of them are urban, and even more literary and artistic. There are really no science fiction scripts."
For Lin Xing, he just talked about this with everyone. He can't always make art films.
Many people outside think that Lin Xing likes art films, otherwise why did he make three art films in a row? ?
But only Lin Xing knows that it just happens that the script is good.
Then, there are no other scripts for Lin Xing in the film industry.
Just like the script of "Sunspots", if you put aside the fact that it is an art film, this pie was also a big pie at the beginning.
Let alone the actors who shoot art films, who among the other actors would not want to grab it? ?
As for "Going to Heaven", let alone, Lin Xing really likes this script.
A few days ago, Ding Chunling complained to Lin Xing that now all the scripts are art films, and they are all niche.
It seems that these people think that Lin Xing likes to play niche roles.
Not only that, these people actually have an unrealistic dream, that is, they think that if their script can be liked by Lin Xing, then Lin Xing will also attract investment, and then they can also become popular.
Not to mention the script written in this way.
Basically, it is as rubbish as it can be.
According to Xin Hui and Liang Yuan, that is to say, they really think that Lin Xing is a fool with a lot of money.
Of course, for Ding Chunling, she has really read almost all the scripts. If the script is good, it will be fine, but the script is really not good.
Even these scripts have not reached Lin Xing's hands.
Lin Xing has read a few scripts recently, all of which were entrusted to him by acquaintances like Wei Fei.
But what can I say? ? ?
These scripts are really not very good.
Because as I said before, Lin Xing doesn't just want to act in art films, but other types of themes don't look very good either.
This is what Lin Xing is most helpless about.
Good scripts are not easy to find. Of course, Lin Xing also understands that good scripts may not necessarily make good movies or TV series.
But at least your script has to pass.
Only when a script passes can it make a good drama.
Because of this, Lin Xing will think that "Going to Heaven" is too niche when everyone thinks it is too niche, and even "Going to Heaven" is a script that no one pays attention to, but Lin Xing thinks that this script is well completed.
Facts have indeed proved that Lin Xing is right.
But in the eyes of many people, this kind of good luck cannot always be there.
Besides, how can there be so many Midas touches? ? ?
To put it bluntly, if you, Lin Xing, really have this ability, can you make another 3 billion yuan sci-fi movie? ? ?
How is it possible? ? ?
So, Wei Fei herself was embarrassed to mention this. Seeing that Lin Xing was actually interested, she quickly said: "Axing, you can take a look at the script, but I really hope you can stay calm."
Not only Wei Fei, Liang Yuan also said: "Yes, Brother Xing, this "Death on Earth" is an online novel, but even in the online novel circle, it is quite niche. Although there are some die-hard fans, it is really not popular."
"It's okay, I just took a look at the script."
Lin Xing waved her hand slightly and said: "Sister Fei, please call Sun Feng to our side, anyway, we have to meet each other."
"Okay."
Wei Fei nodded lightly, and she waved directly to Sun Feng who was staring at this side from a distance.
"Teacher Lin, hello, I am Sun Feng..."
Sun Feng came to Lin Xing and quickly came over, and then quickly introduced himself.
"Director Sun, you're welcome. You can just call me A Xing."
Lin Xing smiled and said, "Just now, Sister Fei said that you want to make a science fiction movie?"
"Yes, I have always wanted to make a science fiction movie. I think there are actually a large number of science fiction fans in China, and we have a lot of science fiction novels, and even science fiction online articles are very imaginative. But with a population of more than one billion, we can't even make a good science fiction movie. Don't you think this is an extreme failure?"
Sun Feng said to Lin Xing at this time.
"Director Sun, this is unnecessary. You don't have to use the tricks you used to fool investors to fool me. Don't we have more than one billion people who can't play football well? I even think basketball is almost gone..."
Lin Xing waved his hand slightly and said, "If you are chatting about this, then I really think we don't need to chat anymore."
Nonsense? ? ?
It's better for you to say that making a movie is for fame than for you to say that making a movie is for the so-called dream.
Because dreams are too virtual.
More importantly, it doesn't matter if you use your own money to realize your dream, but it's too fucked up if you use investors' money to pay for your dream.
Like many directors, they say that they just want to shoot something that is too highbrow and unpopular, or even say that they don’t want to shoot something too monotonous.
But you are taking the investors’ money, shouldn’t you be responsible to the investors? ?
If Sun Feng is just making empty promises, Lin Xing really doesn’t want to talk.
“Teacher Lin, I really think so. You can take a look at my script, not just the script, you can take a look again…”
At this time, Sun Feng told all what he had done in recent years, and even why he wanted to shoot “Death on Earth”.
“I think the failure of “The Fall of the Demon City” was because we just wanted to make a Hollywood-style blockbuster. We didn’t learn from Hollywood, we were assimilated by Hollywood, or PUA by them, but Hollywood’s personal heroism doesn’t work here. We are collectivism here, and when one side is in trouble, all sides support it…”
Sun Feng said: “As for “Death on Earth”, it actually talks about collectivism, and it talks about everyone’s unity when facing difficulties. These are all our Chinese narrative styles, and I think this movie can really be adapted into a script…”
You have to admit that what Sun Feng said is quite touching.
Especially, he seemed to be sincere in making a science fiction movie, but he was not just passionate or excited.
On the contrary, he waited for 8 years, which means that he has been holding his breath since "The Fall of the Demon City".
At the table, other people were not very interested in these.
After all, what haven't you seen in this circle? ? ?
Moreover, many times, it is not that you will definitely get good results if you work hard. Aren't we all still out of date? ? ?
Take Wang Lu for example, if she hadn't been slightly stuffed into "Going to Heaven" by Lin Xing, would she want to make a movie? ?
That's really nonsense.
In addition, there are other people who are similar.
The more important thing is who doesn't have a dream? ?
But one year, two years, three years, four years, how many years can a dream last for you? ? ?
This thing can't be eaten as a meal.
Go to Hengdian, or go to see how many of the graduates of the three major film schools are still actors? ?
Who doesn't say when they graduate that they must persist and that they can persist for the rest of their lives for their dream of becoming an actor?
But ten years later, how many people have changed careers? ?
Similarly, it's almost the same for Sun Feng to make a science fiction movie. You say you persist, you say it's not easy for you, you say you do it for your dream, but as Lin Xing said, investors don't care at all.
Investors only care about one thing, whether they can make a profit or make money.
But Lin Xing is not such an investor. Just now, he really felt that Sun Feng was fooling him, but after listening to Sun Feng's ideas about science fiction, some of his understanding of movies, especially some of his ideas about the script, etc., Lin Xing can still feel Sun Feng's love for science fiction.
"So, I haven't read the novel "Death on Earth" yet, and I haven't read the script either, so I'll talk to you about whether I'll take this after I finish reading it..."
Lin Xing finally said to Sun Feng.
Sun Feng said: "No hurry, no hurry, Mr. Lin, just tell me when you finish watching it, I..."
"Let's add each other on WeChat..."
Lin Xing interrupted Sun Feng and said: "Because I have to shoot a movie next, it will take at least half a month. I will decide whether to accept it after I finish watching it..."
Sun Feng was originally thinking about how to add Lin Xing's WeChat, but now, Lin Xing actually took the initiative to add his WeChat.
And it seems that Lin Xing might really be interested in this movie.
Half an hour later, Sun Feng left, of course, he was carried out.
Xin Hui thought Sun Feng was a big liar and ruined Lin Xing's celebration banquet, so he forced Sun Feng to drink.
Originally, Lin Xing stopped him, but Sun Feng was really happy today.
Can you believe it? ? ?
This is the first time Sun Feng has met an artist who is interested in this script, and this artist is Lin Xing.
You should know that Lin Xing is not just an artist, he is also a boss, after all, he often brings investment.
