Entertainment: Top Agents

"I read the script. You want to use Western special effects and martial arts themes to make a good martial arts movie."

"This idea is a good one, just like"The Legend of Shushan" back then, which was also made using a lot of Hollywood special effects. It was also criticized as a bad movie, but now it has become a classic."

"This idea is valid and appropriate, but the problem lies in your plot"

"I went to watch the movie, and I couldn’t understand what the plot of the first movie was about."

"I know, the director’s story is in the second part"

"But director, if you were an audience member and you went to see a movie and watched it for two hours, but were told that the really interesting plot is in the follow-up film, would you scold you?"

"I spent dozens of dollars and two hours to watch your movie. Are you telling me that the focus of the story is in the second part? Can you please?"Liang Lin's words made the entire studio quiet.

The director stopped talking, and the actors stopped talking too.

Calm down and think about it. Look at this not from the perspective of the actors, but from the perspective of the audience. Movie.

Indeed, as Liang Lin said, it will definitely make people unhappy and cursed.

I spent dozens of dollars and two hours to watch your movie."Three Two Zero" turned out to be a movie with no story. It’s a movie with plot and climax, and then you told me that the climax of the story is in the second part, so you can just watch the second part.

But since the climax is in the second part, why do you still want to film the second part? One?

Okay, you filmed the first one to set the stage. If you had said that the first one was foreshadowing, I wouldn’t have watched it. I’ll just wait to watch your second one, so I can save money. dozens of dollars

"I read the scripts of your series, there are three movies in total"

"The background of the story is the power struggle between the emperor and the queen mother of the Song Dynasty."

"The plot of the first part is completely invisible. The end of the second part is that it is quite clear that the Eight Gentlemen were exterminated. The ruthless father is one of the Eight Gentlemen who supports the emperor's pro-government."

"But the question is, in your script, there is no mention of why Cai Xiang left the Qingqing family and did not take action. Is it to rebel or to frame the blame? Didn't say it"

"Also, the first part talked about Mr. An’s son, but it didn’t make it clear what An Shigeng’s motives were? Indeed, this situation is explained in the second and third parts. They want to disrupt the economy and make the people miserable, and then engage in charity and usurp the throne."

"Let’s not talk about whether this plan to seek power and usurp the throne is reasonable or not, but the first part did not give any obvious clues. After watching it, the audience still couldn’t figure out what An Shigeng’s motives were. Just as An Shigeng said: I think Even if you live to die, you won’t be able to guess what you’re doing."

"This is contradictory"

"You want a martial arts movie with special effects as a selling point, but you don’t want the plot to be straightforward and exciting. The plot drags on and keeps the audience guessing."

"Commercial films are meant to make the audience enjoy watching them, so they are good to buy."

"Your plot design is not good, and the combination of special effects and martial arts scenes is not very novel. They are all leftovers from the previous director Xu Ke. In the end, you just have to watch the plot, but your plot is still so delayed."

"The movie was released and so many people went to see it. If they didn’t see the point, of course they would scold it."

After saying so much, the entire set fell silent.

Let's not talk about Liang Lin's problem of debunking this movie without giving face.

Calm down and look at these problems, and you will find that these are really the problems.

""Tsk~" Liang Lin's analysis made Director Chen Jiashang very distressed.

"Stop, stop shooting now."The director was also very distressed and asked everyone to stop working.

"Come on, let’s continue chatting and express your views."

Liang Lin looked at Liu Yifei, who rolled her eyes at him.

Although she rolled her eyes, she was still quite happy inside.

"My current idea is very simple. It mainly depends on the director."

"Look at me?"Chen Jiashang is a little confused.

"right! It just depends on what you want"

"Do you want to make a movie that you like, or do you want to make a movie that the audience likes and can make money?"After Liang Lin's words came out, Chen Jiashang couldn't help but sit up straight.

Yes, isn't that the problem now?

After the first movie was released, both word-of-mouth and box office were hit. It won't be good. Yes.

According to the original plan, it must be a movie that the director likes.

That's right, the movie he likes was made, but the audience doesn't buy it, and you have no box office and no reputation.

So now there is only one choice left, Make a movie that the audience likes.

Make a movie that the audience likes to watch, and this may lead to a box office revival. At the same time, you will not let investors lose too much, so that future movies can attract investment.

But in this way Come, it may make him feel very dissatisfied, because this is a movie made to cater to the audience, not a movie he likes.

Liang Lin's words made Director Chen Jiashang suddenly realize

"So tell me, how do you plan to design it?"Chen Jiashang asked Liang Lin what he planned to do.

"Ha, since it’s already outrageous, it’s even more outrageous."

"What's wrong?"Chen Jiashang disagreed.

"Both ruthless and cold-blooded people are in love, how ridiculous is that?"

"Hahahaha~" Everyone in the studio burst out laughing when they heard this.

"He is so ruthless that he can retrieve things from afar, and he is so cold-blooded that he becomes a werewolf. Director Chen, are you telling me that this is outrageous?"

"……"Chen Jiashang, who wanted to refute, thought about it and realized that this was really the case.

"In fact, it is very simple. In the world of martial arts, in addition to the peerless magical skills that the audience is obsessed with"

"What's more, there are always incredible and strange techniques, unique hidden weapons, strange people and strange things in the story, etc."

"The so-called"Return to Heaven" technique set up in your movie is actually not very new. Even if the special effects fail, if the story cannot be told clearly and the details cannot be laid out, the movie will seem worthless. Spoken"

"In addition, this movie also has a bright spot, and that is the role of Qing Wu"

"Wuqing is pitiful, but she has an unfathomable ability. Her mind-reading skills are a highlight of the movie. However, the plot and filming techniques are not mature enough, and Qingqing's mind-reading skills are not visually pleasing to the audience. point"

"Not only did this not wow the audience, it actually felt redundant"

"Also, Deng Chao’s cold-bloodedness is already a werewolf setting, so let’s make it a little more outrageous and exaggerated. 0..."

"《Have you seen the werewolf transformation in"The Twilight Saga"?"

"There is no need to imitate. Since it is a werewolf setting, then be more domineering."

"Since the storyline is not attractive, let’s maximize the visual effects."

After Liang Lin finished speaking, Chen Jiashang felt that this proposal was really good.

Since the audience didn't like the storyline of this series of movies he wrote, then he would really use all the visual effects, and then rely on this Selling box office?

This not only reminded him of what Liang Lin said just now.

This movie ultimately depends on him.

It depends on whether he wants to make a movie he likes, or whether he wants to make a movie the audience likes. Make a movie he likes, then Even if I am satisfied, both word of mouth and box office will fail.

If I make a movie that the audience likes, I will be very depressed, but the word of mouth and box office will be much better.

The choice is still his, so Chen Jiashang is entangled.

"Get me Liu Yifei's announcement form, thank you."

Liang Lin asked the director's assistant for the announcement form and got it quickly.

After getting the announcement form, he carefully compiled the filming arrangements for Liu Yifei's scenes.

As for Director Chen Jiashang, he waved his hand:"It's over! It's a holiday tomorrow"

"I carefully calculated the subsequent shooting plan."

The director suddenly said a holiday, which made everyone dumbfounded.

However, they all felt that what Liang Lin just said was really good.

Since the first part has such a good reputation, the second part will not make any changes , I really want to mess it up.

The proposal given by Liang Lin indeed seems to be very disrespectful to Director Chen Jiashang.

But in fact, he is doing it for the good of the director and the good of this movie.

"Thank you, because of you, I got off work early today."

Liu Yifei changed her clothes and came out, and she just made fun of Liang Lin.

Liang Lin smiled and shook his head. To be honest, he didn't expect this.

But it can be seen that Director Chen Jiashang did listen. 4.1

"Come on, let's go to the market to buy groceries with you, and cook for me tonight. Liu Yifei held his hand and said

"OK."Anyway, there's nothing going on now.

"I was thinking about it today and came over to discuss your shooting schedule with the director."

"Unexpectedly, the negotiation failed, and instead I chatted with the director about your movie. Speaking of this

, Liu Yifei was also very strange:"Why are you talking about my movie shooting schedule?""

"Isn't this just to see if you can film on both sides at the same time?"

"I have chosen a good TV drama script for you to work with Hu Ge"

"Crazy? Liu Yifei was so surprised that she said,"If you cooperate with Hu Ge, doesn't that mean you cooperate with the Tang people?""

"It’s different. I just invited Hu Ge to star, even though he is an artist from the Tang Dynasty."

"But Hu Ge and I have no conflict, and neither do you."

"It was just Cai Yinong who was causing trouble."Liang Lin said this, and Liu Yifei also thought it made sense. Liu Yifei soon understood that Liang Lin was planning to use the original cast of"Sword and Sword 1" to complete their work that year in the form of another script. Ten years of agreement...
