Writing about entertainment was approached by a female villain archetype

Chapter 241 The Deviation of Preparation

Xu Chuan is a very good storyteller.

At the same time, he is also a person who will continue to polish his stories. Basically, every time he tells a story, it will be more perfect than the last time.

The story of "Wandering Blue Star 1" has been polished by Xu Chuan.Now, he can explain all the main plot and selling points of this story in the shortest time.

Ning Kaijun has been filming movies all his life, whether it is movies or TV, he has tried basically all kinds of subjects.Except for science fiction themes and pure comedy.

The main reason why he doesn't do pure comedies is because he is really not very good at comedy effects. In addition to acting skills, comedy actually requires talent.

The reason for not filming science fiction themes may be because there are too few domestic film and television works of this type, and he has no chance to get involved with them.

In fact, when Xu Chuan decided to talk to him about this matter, he was not sure whether Ning Kaijun would be interested in science fiction themes.

But after the conversation, one thing was certain: Ning Kaijun was very interested in the story of "The Wandering Blue Star" that he was telling.

He is so interested that he will constantly ask questions about points that interest him during his narration.

Therefore, the original plan was to eat for one or two hours, but ended up eating for more than five hours.

In these 5 hours, the two of them talked about everything from plot settings to filming difficulties. During the chat, Xu Chuan learned from the professionalism and experience of Ning Kaijun, the visual emperor.

Ning Kaijun, on the other hand, marveled at Xu Chuan's whimsical ideas and different understanding of some things.

It can be said that the two people's chat was quite fruitful.If this restaurant hadn't been closing, Mr. Ning wouldn't have planned to leave.

Before saying goodbye, Ning Kaijun also urged Xu Chuan to arrange a time as soon as possible to send him the novel "Wandering Blue Star".

In his words, "I want to read this masterpiece carefully."

In the car, when I saw Ning Kaijun finally coming back from the hotel, my manager, who had been with him for many years, couldn't help but curiously asked: "Teacher Ning, what were you talking about for so long today?"

"That young man from Xu Chuan told me about a new play." Ning Kaijun replied, rubbing his head.

When we just chatted, he was in a state of excitement and didn't feel tired at all.Now as soon as I get back to the car after finishing, the fatigue in my body instantly surges up.After all, I am getting older, and my energy and physical strength are not as good as before.

"Xu Chuan wants to film with you?" The agent didn't know what happened today. He and the driver had been waiting outside after eating.

"Yes, he wants to make a movie and wants me to play a role." Ning Kaijun nodded.

"What movie? Comedy?" The agent's first reaction was that Xu Chuan would continue to make comedies. After all, the profit rate of "The Richest Man in Xihong City" was a bit exaggerated.Then this momentum continues, which is very normal.

"No, how can I act in a comedy? He wants to make a science fiction movie." Ning Kaijun smiled and shook his head, and then specifically added, "hard science fiction genre, science fiction blockbuster."

As soon as he said these words, the agent was stunned. After a while, he said: "Young people just have a lot of momentum."

This agent has been with Ning Kaijun for more than 20 years and is almost 50 this year. From his perspective, it is reasonable to call Xu Chuan a young man.

"Indeed, and young people's brains are still good, and I have never heard of the stories they tell. Old Yu, you said that sometimes we have to obey the old. After all, this industry must be developed by young people." Ning Kaijun suddenly sighed.

"Is his science fiction story special? Have you never heard of it?" The agent couldn't help but asked. Ning Kaijun has never acted in a science fiction film, but that doesn't mean he hasn't seen it.As a filmmaker, I actually watch a lot of movies.

"Not only is it special, in the words of their young people, they are simply imaginative. Hey, tell me, if one day the sun ages rapidly and engulfs our planet in 100 years, what should we do?" Ning Kai Jun is not like Huan Ze who holds back his words.

He feels that there is nothing that cannot be told about this story. Not only must he tell it, but when the project is launched, he will also have to help Xu Chuan promote it every day and let everyone see what "Chinese science fiction" is.

It could be seen that he was really impressed this time.I don’t know what Xu Chuan’s reaction will be when he completes “The Three-Body Problem” and then shows it to him.

After hearing Ning Kaijun's question, the agent said without thinking: "Build a spaceship and run."

"Yes, I originally thought so about building a spaceship and running away, but do you know what the solution Xu Chuan gave you?"

"what?"

"He said to install [-] engines on our Blue Star and run directly with Blue Star."

"Cough...cough cough cough, what the hell?!"

"Hahahahaha, I had exactly the same reaction as you." Ning Kaijun looked at the choked manager and laughed happily.

He didn't know why he suddenly felt a sense of relief.This reminded him of when he was young, when he would tell others something that others didn't know, and others would always look at him in surprise and say, "You know all this?!"

This feeling of "I know you don't know" is indeed one of the sources of happiness for human beings.

Thinking of this, Ning Kaijun decided to find a few more people to ask the question he just asked his agent while not many people knew about the concept of "Wandering Blue Star".

Uncle Ning seems to have unknowingly entered a "pretentious" cool writing mode.

At the same time, another person who fell into the male protagonist routine of Shuangwen was also chatting with people in his team.

This person is Huan Ze, who just finished chatting with "Disney" investors.

That's right, when Su Quanxing invited Xu Chuan to dinner tonight, the investors of "Disney" were also looking for Huan Ze to have dinner.

"It's awesome, it's really awesome, director, Disney is going to invest in us." At Huan Ze's home, his assistant director Han Liutian shouted excitedly.

Huanze also took him to tonight's dinner.

Before Huanze could reply, Han Liutian continued to say excitedly: "That's Disney. Seven of the 10 highest-grossing special effects blockbusters in recent years are from them. What is fortune, this is fortune."

However, compared to Han Liutian's excitement, Huan Ze's mentality was different. He frowned and said, "Do you think there might be a problem with this?

Why does Disney want to invest in us when it is investing in a book that we have never been able to get through before?This is too weird. "

What Huanze was talking about was the story of his male protagonist falling in love with the alien queen.He didn't tell the people at "Disney" that Xu Chuan had given him a copy of "The Wandering Blue Star".

"What problem can there be? What do we have that Disney should be concerned about? What kind of company are they and what little Kalami are we?" After hearing this, Han Liutian immediately spoke.

During dinner today, Huanze actually asked the same question, and there were three reasons given.

The first is that China’s box office market is growing very fast, so in order to better penetrate the Chinese market, they hope to strengthen cooperation with mainland filmmakers.To put it simply, we want to make more movies co-produced by China and the United States.

The second point is because they like the story in Huan Ze's hands very much. They feel that love can influence all things, which is consistent with their values.

The third point is that they learned about Huan Ze’s perseverance in the past two years and were moved by Huan Ze.

Three reasons, each of which actually cannot withstand scrutiny.But Han Liutian, who was overwhelmed with excitement, could not control this.

Another point is that he didn't dare to question anything at all.After all, it is Huanze who needs investment and opportunities, not "Disney".This is not a negotiation of equal status in the first place. Naturally, it depends on what others say.

From Han Liutian's perspective, what if he has too many problems and becomes a "Disney" person and simply quits investing?
If this hard-earned opportunity was lost like this, wouldn't he and Huan Ze regret it to death?
In the living room, Huanze still felt something was wrong after hearing Han Liutian's words.What does it mean that I am little Karami and there is nothing worth worrying about?
How can there be anything in this world that can be discussed like this?
If this were the case, there would be no such thing as a poor person being cheated in this world.But the reality is that the weaker the person, the more miserable they are.So, after hesitating for a moment, he continued: "I feel something is wrong anyway, we still have to be more cautious."

These words seemed to remind Han Liutian, but in fact, Huanze was reminding himself.

After being reminded twice in succession by Huanze, Hallyutan's mind, which was blurred with excitement due to Disney's investment, gradually began to calm down.

Seeing that he was calming down, Huan Ze continued to ask: "Also, we haven't made it clear on the phone that I went to see Xu Chuan. He gave me an original novel of his, and he probably planned to film the story. He asked After I finish reading it, if I like it, I’ll contact him.”

When Han Liutian saw Huan Ze talking about this matter, he couldn't help but ask: "Then have you contacted him?"

"Isn't it too late?"

"What about the novel? Do you like it or not?"

"To be honest, it's really good. It's better than our book." Huan Ze nodded.

After saying that, Huanze continued: "I think we should hug Xu Chuan's lap! Don't worry about Disney, the Yankees are not trustworthy at all, and the reasons given today are too nonsense.

Also, you forgot that when I went to Hollywood to study, they tried to fool me and didn’t even teach me anything core.Relatively speaking, Xu Chuan is more reliable.

Although he has only been in the industry for a short time, he has done everything properly and achieved outstanding results?It's better to hang out with him than with the Yankees.

Old Han, we really need to think about it carefully. With the attitude Xu Chuan expressed at the last symposium and his usual style of doing things, if I cooperate with Disney, I will have no chance of working with him. "

As soon as these words came out, Han Liutian, who had been calming down, instantly became entangled again.

Now in front of them, on the left is Disney, the world's top film company, and on the right is Xu Chuan, who has just emerged.

Logically speaking, Xu Chuan is far behind Disney in the film industry.So, this was a good choice.

But in fact, it's not easy to choose.

Here we have to mention the importance of information gap.

At this time, the two of them did not know that the so-called "Disney" investor with whom they were talking about investment was actually someone arranged by Remi of Ziyi Media.

There is a skill in talking about things. Under Remi's arrangement, it is naturally impossible for that person to come up and tell Huan Ze that I will only invest you with a start-up capital, and then you can go to Xu Chuan to ask for money.

If you talk about it like this, even a fool will know that there is a problem.

Therefore, Remi's execution method was to first bait Huan Ze, and then find a way to lure Xu Chuan in.

In fact, she also knew that with Xu Chuan's character, it was impossible for him to co-invest in a movie with some "Disney".

Therefore, she will find an excuse to withdraw funds and leave after the project has been established for a period of time, before she starts spending big money.At the same time, find a way to get Xu Chuan to take over the plate.

The core concept of letting Xu Chuan take over is not complicated either.That is to advocate a concept called "Xuchuan will take care of the projects that you Americans can't understand. Not only will I do them, but I can also do them with great success."

Just promote this concept, find enough people to intercede with Xu Chuan, and praise him to his face.Remy felt that with Xu Chuan's confidence in his talent and the inertia of his past behavior, there was a 9% chance that he would take advantage and "pretend to be a slap in the face".

I have to say that this idea is actually feasible, as long as it is done properly.

But, there is another information gap here.That is, in the eyes of outsiders, Xu Chuan is extremely confident in his creation.

But in fact, Xu Chuan has never forgotten that he is a copycat.

confidence?

That is because he is confident in the works that have appeared on the earth. He is more cautious than anyone else in the works that have not appeared before.

His real confidence lies in his operational ability, not his creative ability.Although he will also adapt some works, they are all based on the original works.

Therefore, if someone uses that concept to encourage him, he will definitely not take over the project.

What bullshit "I can do what Americans can't do", he is not a girl from the West.When he does things, you always do yours and I do mine, and he never forces himself to follow other people's rhythms.

Of course, Remy had actually considered this outcome.

Therefore, she also had a second-hand preparation, which was to label Huan Ze as unprofessional by withdrawing funds.

Later, through Huan Ze, he was promoted to the entire Chinese film circle, using this to characterize the Chinese film circle, saying that Chinese filmmakers are not capable of making science fiction films, and that Chinese film creation is not free, which scares Disney even if it loses money. Running all night.

All in all, it's best to lure Xu Chuan to the bait. If you can't lure Xu Chuan to the bait, you can do other things.

From this, we can actually see that Remy's level is indeed much higher than that of the people from Ziyi Media.At least as soon as this project started to be implemented, she would have both hands ready to achieve the desired results.

In the room, Huanze, who had just talked about fooling around with Xu Chuan, was actually in a dilemma.

He said, "Actually, Xu Chuan didn't explicitly tell me that he had the idea of ​​investing in me, nor did he explicitly say that he would let me film his novel."

Hearing this, Han Liutian said: "Director, if Xu Chuan didn't have this idea, he shouldn't have given you his novel. He doesn't seem like someone who has nothing to do after he's full."

As soon as these words came out, Huanze's eyes lit up. Yes, the questions Xu Chuan asked himself were definitely not after he was full and had nothing to do.

Thinking of this, Huanze said: "Well, I think I'll call him today. No, I'll go see him and talk in person."

"Director, do we really have to give up on Disney? That's Disney, the world's largest film company." Hearing this, Han Liutian said with some reluctance.

"It's not about giving up on Disney. It's not easy to offend Xu Chuan. After all, he gave me the book first, and Disney found me later. Everything has to be done on a first-come, first-served basis, right? We can't let Xu Chuan think that we are on both ends of the spectrum, right? "Huan Ze rubbed his face and said.

After saying that, before Han Liutian could speak, he continued: "I think it's best to tell him about Disney's investment in us. Firstly, it will raise our worth, and secondly, we will see what his side is about this matter. What's your opinion?

Old Han, Xu Chuan is too smart in some things. Really, maybe he can see the secret at a glance. "

"Is this appropriate? Isn't it a little early for us to tell Xu Chuan about this at this time?" Han Liutian thought after hearing this. He felt that now is not the time to tell Xu Chuan that Disney has contacted him.

"What's inappropriate? You just have to tell us earlier. How many days can you keep this secret if Disney really wants to invest in us? Why don't we communicate with Xu Chuan now and show that we are honest," Huan Ze reminded.

"That's right." When Han Liutian heard this, he realized the core of the problem.

At this time, Xu Cihua and Remi would definitely not have thought of it.Their two plans went awry from the start.

They never expected that Su Quanxing would be stabbed in the back by his wife and children.He never expected that Xu Chuan would give Huan Ze a notebook so quickly.

It was even more unexpected that Huan Ze would run to Xu Chuan to talk about "Disney" investment at this time.
