Movie Emperor: When he debuted, he was surrounded by female stars and capital

Chapter 168

"Director Lu, I didn't expect to see you here."

Recognizing that the man in front of him was the popular director Lu Yang in the past two years, Qi Jia immediately went up to shake his hand enthusiastically and said with a smile,

"Director Lu, when will "Embroidered Spring Blade 3" be filmed? I'm looking forward to it!"

Lu Yang laughed twice and said generously,

"Haha, there's no rush for "Embroidered Spring Blade", the script hasn't been polished yet.

However, I came here today with another good script that I want to work with you on."

Qi Jia's eyes flashed with surprise, and then he looked at Yang Mi,

Yang Mi smiled, picked up a script from in front of him and handed it to him,

"I've read Director Lu's script, it's better than "Embroidered Spring Blade."

After saying that, perhaps because he felt that he hadn't expressed it enough, he raised his thumb again.

After hearing what Yang Mi said, Qi Jia became more interested,

He took the script, apologized to the two, and then lowered his head to read it.

When Qi Jia saw the title of the play "Assassination of Novelist" written on the script, his eyes lit up, he looked up at the two people, and said in surprise,

"This name is interesting."

"I know you have high requirements for the script. If it is not a good script, I will not look for you." Yang Mi said with a smile,

Lu Yang also nodded, and said with a somewhat proud expression,

"We have been polishing this script for four years. This time, we want you to play a role called Lu Kongwen. You read it first, and we will talk after you finish reading it."

Qi Jia nodded, and did not speak again, but read the script carefully,

The story is about

A father who took on the task of assassinating a novelist in order to find his missing daughter,

And this novelist named Lu Kongwen, he is writing a novel called "God Killing".

In the novel, the god Red Haired Demon is cruel and indiscriminate, and people living under his rule are miserable.

The young Kongwen and his sister were on the run, and his sister was killed by the Red Haired Demon's men.

In order to avenge his sister, Kong Wen decided to kill the Red-haired Ghost with his mortal body, and embarked on the road of killing gods with the help of the magical black armor.

This was originally just the plot of the novel, but what he didn't expect was that the plot in the novel would actually affect the real world!

More than half an hour later, Qi Jia put down the script, and he had made a decision in his heart.

To be honest, but from the quality of the script, it is absolutely excellent.

Especially this kind of plot that interweaves the other world and the real world is very attractive to the audience.

But the difficulty lies in this double-line narrative style, because once the connection between the two lines is not handled well,

It will make the audience feel broken, and I don’t know what the director is shooting!

If another director came, Qi Jia might not accept it.

But since the other party is Lu Yang, it is not impossible.

After all, the other party has shot two Embroidered Spring Blades and is known as the "new generation of genius director"!

And speaking of which, after shooting "Crazy Alien" before, Qi Jia wanted to try to shoot a science fiction film again.

"Director Lu, I'll take the script."

After hearing Qi Jia's agreement, the first person to speak was not Lu Yang, but Yang Mi.

"What do you think, Director Lu? I was right. For Qi Jia, the script and the cast are the most important.

The appearance fee is secondary. You see, he agreed without even asking for the salary."

Lu Yang also smiled and said,

"Haha, Yang Mi, you win. I'll have someone bring you the wine later."

Qi Jia understood the two people's question and answer.

It turned out that before he came, the two of them had played a little game in private.

"Hehe, the script is inevitable, but if you really think I don't like money, you are wrong.

I will let my agent out later, and you will know what it feels like to have a face full of abacus beads."

After the cooperation was discussed, Lu Yang had other things to do, so he got up and left first.

The subsequent signing of the contract and the negotiation of the salary were left to Chen Yuwen to handle.

Qi Jia and Yang Mi chatted for a while, and after the development of the studio next year, they also went downstairs.

Tell Chen Yuwen about the script cooperation, and asked her to try to sell herself at a good price within a reasonable price range.

After Chen Yuwen nodded to show that she understood, she talked about another thing,

"I have a friend..."

"Did your friend buy insurance from you?" Seeing her hesitant expression, Qi Jia asked uncertainly,

"Get lost!" Chen Yuwen cursed unhappily,

"Look, you are anxious again!" Qi Jia spread his hands and showed a helpless expression,

Chen Yuwen rolled his eyes at him, too lazy to continue talking nonsense with him, and directly took out a script, handed it to him and said,

"I have a friend who is a writer, but he wants to try to be a screenwriter recently,

So, he changed a short story in his published novel into a play.I have compiled a script and would like you to help me take a look at it. "

Qi Jia reached out to take it. Although he was still a little curious, he decided to finish reading it first.

Unexpectedly, he was attracted to the name of the script at first sight.

First, it was "Assassination of Novelists", and then it was this one "I'm Waiting for You at the End of Time".

The name is a youth love movie, and it is pure love.

Although youth love movies have been generally not favored in the market in recent years, it has nothing to do with the subject matter. The main reason is that the script is too bad.

Qi Jia believes that if there is a good script and a good production team,

then there is no reason for the audience to refuse to buy a movie ticket for their youth. After all, who didn't have a secret crush when they were young?

Putting aside distractions, Qi Jia began to read the script seriously.

This story is about childhood sweethearts Lin Ge and Qiu Qian reuniting in high school and gradually falling in love with each other.

But on the night when Lin Ge was about to confess his love, Qiu Qian appeared Died in a car accident.

Ling Ge was grief-stricken and accidentally returned to the past through a worn-out watch from his childhood.

But the price was the loss of his life, and he was like a bug when he traveled back, and no one knew him.

But Ling Ge didn't care. He worked hard to get back together with Qiu Qian.

Just when he thought he had changed his fate, an accident happened again.

Qiu Qian's death again made Ling Ge realize that he was the factor that caused Qiu Qian's accident.

So, he traveled back again, no longer expecting to be with Qiu Qian, but chose to guard her silently by his side.

I thought that this would keep Qiu Qian safe, but fate played a trick on him again.

Huh~

After reading the entire script, Qi Jia breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Chen Yuwen with a little surprise,

"Sister, your friend is a talent, this script is so good."

Seeing that Qi Jia didn't seem to be joking, Chen Yuwen asked tentatively: "Is it really that good? ”

Unlike Qi Jia, as an agent, the first thing she considers when reading a script is commercial benefits.

But as mentioned before, youth films have not been popular in the film market in recent years.

Also, although the script was written by her friend,

but friends are friends, and it still cannot change the fact that he is a new screenwriter.

Usually, investors are more cautious about the scripts written by new screenwriters. After all, no matter how rich they are, they cannot spend it carelessly.

This led to Chen Yuwen not being very optimistic about it at the beginning.

“Of course.” Qi Jia nodded and explained with a smile,

“Although this kind of time-travel setting is a bit old-fashioned, the plot is still very tearful,

and her character setting is also very vivid. The key is that her subject matter is still a youth film.

If she performs well, it will be easy to gain a lot of audience favor. ”

Speaking of this, Qi Jia suddenly thought of someone and said with a smile,

“Isn’t Geng Geng the best example? Before starring in "The Best of Us", she was still a third-tier actress, but after the release of "The Best of Us", she instantly rose to the top of the second-tier, faster than riding a rocket, and now she is already one of the Forbes China 30 elites under 30. " After Qi Jia finished speaking, seeing Chen Yuwen nodded thoughtfully, he asked, "Sister, can you talk to your friend? I want to talk to the producer." Qi Jia really thinks this script is good. Even if he can't play it, he wants to recommend Zhang Ruonan to try the heroine. After all, according to his experience, this script has a high chance of becoming popular. Unexpectedly, after listening to him, Chen Yuwen shook his head and said, "I'm afraid it won't work." "Why?" Qi Jia was stunned, Chen Yuwen spread his hands and shrugged like Qi Jia, "Because no one invested in this script, so he wanted me to take a look at it for you. If you think it's suitable, can you help him promote it?"
