Another World Under My Pen

Whether a script is good or not, the director has the most say.

After reading the script of "Longmen Inn", Wei Xiaolin immediately fell in love with the play, and the look in Sun Peng's eyes became eager. If there was only some expectation before, then Wei Xiaolin's attitude can be said to be positive in the next formal discussion.

only……

"Take exactly what you mean? What is the meaning of my existence?"

Facing Wei Xiaolin’s doubts, Sun Peng smiled slightly and said, “Your meaning is to help me shoot! Teacher Wei, I think you should have known this condition before I came here?”

"This……"

Wei Xiaolin was speechless for Sun Peng's answer.

But even though it is said, how can Wei Xiaolin be willing to be an executor after reading the entire script? In other words, this is a director's reaction to a good script, so after hesitating for a while, Wei Xiaolin gritted his teeth and said: "Teacher Sun, I can lower the pay, but this drama..."

"No, this play must be based on me!"

After guessing Wei Xiaolin's idea in an instant, Sun Peng immediately killed all the possibilities in the bud! Ask a layman to film "New Dragon Inn", he will cry to death, OK?

As for reducing the pay, are we short of the two million?

"..."

After listening to the conversation between the two, Kong Xiangcheng immediately held his forehead with one hand, knowing that his plan just now was completely ruined. Obviously, this old teacher is just as rumored as a genius. He wrote a script that Wei Xiaolin couldn't refuse, and he didn't even care about the pay!

But looking at Wei Xiaolin’s look of disappointment, Sun Peng hesitated for a while and smiled: "Mr. Wei, if you are interested in martial arts movies, I personally suggest that you take a good look at my novels and wait for us. After making this movie, maybe you have the opportunity to make one yourself, wouldn't it be better?"

"Ah? Would you like to let Kobayashi adapt those novels?"

After listening to Sun Peng's words, Wei Xiaolin still didn't respond, but Kong Xiangcheng asked in surprise and joy.

Of course, Kong Xiangcheng knows how popular Lao Bai's martial arts novels are in the adaptation market. I don't know how many people and companies are thinking about it. Unfortunately, they have never agreed to any film and television company. Now it seems that he actually has this idea. Could it be that his own Wei Xiaolin is really lucky?

"Of course, hehe, sooner or later they will be adapted!"

With a meaningful smile, Sun Peng replied calmly.

No longer waiting for Wei Xiaolin’s opinion this time, Kong Xiangcheng can’t wait to nod his head and said: “Then it’s okay, Mr. Sun, our family’s Xiaolin took this job!”

"Uh……"

Looking at the excited agent, Wei Xiaolin rolled his eyes and was speechless...

...

After signing the contract with Wei Xiaolin, "New Dragon Inn" officially entered the preparatory stage.

Sun Peng, who had been preparing for a long time, took out the full version of the script, and then handed out a large stack of paper draft designs. Wei Xiaolin immediately understood why the cost of this movie was so low... a tattered one. The bad inn, the main characters' costumes that don't look gorgeous at all, and the simple props...how much can it cost in addition to the expenses of the crew and actors?

"This... is this too simple?"

Wei Xiaolin, who was used to the big crew, frowned and said with some dissatisfaction.

"Then what do you think it should look like?"

Flicking his brows, Sun Peng smiled and asked, "What should an inn on the edge of a desert, a group of desperadoes and a group of East Factory assassins who chase them look like?"

"This……"

After blinking, Wei Xiaolin couldn't help but smile.

After reading the detailed version of the script, Wei Xiaolin also secretly smacked his tongue for Sun Peng’s talent, because the dramas in the inn were indeed designed to be too clever, and the various forces reached a perfect balance until finally Cao Shaoqin’s It was only when they arrived, and the final climax was ushered in; and the scene-specific script was so detailed that after three days of careful reading, Wei Xiaolin discovered that he could not do better!

Including these pictures designed by Sun Peng, they are indeed in the same line with the style of the script!

Seeing Wei Xiaolin's helpless look, Sun Peng couldn't help but feel happy again: "Mr. Wei, this film is not originally for sale. We rely on plot and martial arts action design to win. Don't worry too much about it! But well... …The opening part might as well be bigger, let’s find a better movie studio to shoot, and there are a lot of horse warfare shots in it are your strengths, so please design and design!"

To say that Sun Peng has any dissatisfaction with "New Dragon Inn" is also due to its low cost.

For example, at the beginning of Cao Shaoqin's appearance to frame Zhongliang, first there was an equestrian show that was too low, and then there was a bald tower and two sections of city walls. It was too cost-saving at all. In addition, the scenes of horse wars and random arrow attacks were also slightly stingy...

Of course, there is no alternative to the limitations of the times.

How much did it cost to shoot top Hong Kong films in that era? It is already very good to have such an effect.

However, if it is placed twenty to thirty years later, Sun Peng felt that it would be impossible to just copy it. After all, the audience's aesthetics has already improved by leaps and bounds. If the main scenes are still improving, the other scenes are fooled...

Wasn't the reason why Wei Xiaolin was asked to help him was because of his ability and experience in this area?

"Um... don't worry, no problem!"

Anyway, he often followed the big director in making costume dramas. Wei Xiaolin nodded confidently, but soon said a little entangled: "But in this case...the cost of 30 million yuan, I am afraid it is a little overhang!"

"Hahaha..."

Seeing Wei Xiaolin's worried look on his face, Sun Peng couldn't help laughing.

thirty million?

"Thirty million is just a production cost, Teacher Wei!"

Just when Wei Xiaolin was inexplicably laughed at, Sun Peng resisted and said: "Last time my agent actually didn't make it clear to you that the 30 million is a pure filming cost, including your remuneration, and we will hire actors later. The pay for the movie is calculated separately. My psychological bottom line is that 60 million can be filmed even if it is successful...Should this be enough?"

How could Sun Peng be so stingy in his first movie?

"Enough, enough!"

Hearing what Sun Peng said, Wei Xiaolin was overjoyed.

If this is the case, there is no problem at all. How can the production cost of 30 million be spent. In fact, according to Wei Xiaolin's estimation in the past few days, this film would cost more than 40 million to make a good film, and the maximum 50 million would be stopped.

"Then the next question, only the actors are left."

After taking a deep breath, Wei Xiaolin smiled and said, "Tomorrow I will see the new people you are looking for first, and then we will discuss whether these roles are suitable for them..."
