I became a scandal heroine overnight

Chapter 977 Two Directors
At the dinner table, Zhou Yun asked Liu Qidong: "After finishing this movie, do you have any plans?"

Liu Qidong said: "After filming, there are still many things to do, such as editing and post-production."

"I know this, I mean, except for the movie "Children of Prophecy"?" Zhou Yun said, "After this movie is finished, do you plan to continue writing the script, or do you want to be a director?"

"I haven't thought about this yet." Liu Qidong said bluntly, "I just wanted to make this movie before, but after it was made... Actually, after making this movie, I realized how much it is to make a movie. Difficult, maybe after this movie is released, my situation will be better, and few companies are willing to buy the script I wrote before."

Zhou Yun shook his head: "If there is still no company willing to read your script in the future, you can find me and I will recommend it to them for you. In fact, your creative ability is obvious and everyone can see it. It's just that the current film environment is not very content-based. For the center, those film companies will develop the scripts that big directors and stars want to act in. No matter how good the script you write, if no one takes it, you still can’t develop it.”

"Oh." Liu Qidong shook his head, "It sounds really bad."

"We are all working hard to change this environment. Whether it is me or Song Chi, including sister Ning Yao, everyone is working hard to help new directors with creative ability." Zhou Yun said, "I don't know if your last What does the film look like, but in the three days on the set, I think you are indeed a very capable person. It is not easy to manage a large crew, especially for a new director, people may not be willing to buy you You are able to do this in such a short period of time, which fully demonstrates your ability."

Liu Qidong: "Actually, being a director is really tiring. I can write seven or eight scripts in the time it takes to make a movie."

"Then are you willing to sign a contract with our studio?" Zhou Yun asked suddenly.

"Huh?" Liu Qidong was taken aback.

"Sign the screenwriting contract, you write the script, and we will sell it to those film companies for you." Zhou Yun said directly, "I can promise you that every script will definitely not be lower than the market price, and the dividends you should get will not be less , Of course, the most important thing is that I will guarantee that after your script is bought, it will not be put on the shelf, and I will let them shoot as soon as possible."

Liu Qidong was obviously stunned, and looked at Zhou Yun with a puzzled expression, unable to recover for a long time.

"Wait, sign, sign?" Liu Qidong said, "Are you serious? Your studio also signs screenwriters?"

"Of course it's serious." Zhou Yun nodded, "You know, our studio, including me, has signed several actors. Of course, if you count the children, there will be more, but there are not no screenwriters. I signed it, but it’s just their business contract. What I mean is, we will be your agent for your script and help you sell the script. Of course, we will also choose the scripts that we are capable of shooting ourselves. ...you're a really good storyteller, and, obviously, your script is very actor-friendly, and every single character you create has tension, a back-and-forth transition, and if you believe me, I want to put You sign it, and if you still want to be a director or do other things in the future, you can come and talk to us, cooperate with us, and you can also cooperate with other companies.”

Liu Qidong opened his mouth and closed it again. This action was repeated several times, but he never said a word.

too suddenly.

Zhou Yun also knew that what he said to Liu Qidong today was too sudden.

But Zhou Yun really wanted to sign Liu Qidong.

Because among other things, he is too good at telling stories. A story like "Son of Prophecy", which is not considered innovative, is full of suspense when he tells it.Zhou Yun is also willing to act as his agent to promote him.

"Many film companies in the industry will sign actors and directors, but they rarely sign screenwriters, and screenwriters are rarely willing to sign themselves to a fixed company. I don't want to bind you to my studio. You can put our I understand it as the position of a book company's copyright agent." Zhou Yun said, "I will help you contact the most suitable film company for the script you create based on the subject matter, content, and shooting difficulty of the script."

Liu Qidong: "Wow, I must say, this temptation is great."

"Well, think about it. No matter what, it doesn't matter whether you want to sign with us or not. I really hope to cooperate with you for a long time." Zhou Yun said, "You are a very talented screenwriter, so, I want everyone to see your talent."

Liu Qidong wanted to raise money to make the script "Son of Prophecy" into a movie because he had personal feelings for the script.But he didn't particularly want to be a director himself.In comparison, what Liu Qidong suffers from is the scripts he created, which are almost impossible to get into the eyes of those film companies.

It is too commercial, too generic, not humanistic enough, appears uncultured, has too much sense of the Internet, at most it can be made into a big Internet movie, etc.

Liu Qidong has heard many, many comments similar to the above.

Zhou Yun was the first person who supported him and believed in him.

However, Liu Qidong also has his own concerns.

Zhou Yun's studio has never done such a business.He was also afraid that he would not be entrusted with someone, so he really signed Zhou Yun's studio, but in the end, he had no ability to run his script.

Liu Qidong felt that he had to think about it carefully.
-
"Liu Qidong and Zhang Zifan are very capable and powerful talents in the industry, but because they have no opportunities, or no opportunities, they have been buried all the time." Zhou Lan said, "You can meet them because of other people's recommendations. In fact, talented people are like this. Maybe the public may not know you, but there must be someone around you. After the film is released, these two people will definitely be recognized by the industry. After that, their situation will be much better. .”

Zhou Yun said: "Song Chi's company signed Zhang Zifan, and Zhang Zifan himself wanted to be a director very much, and he has been doing it all the time, but Liu Qidong is different from him. In fact, if you look at the scripts written by the two of them, you will find that one is a director. Writing the script with the director’s thinking, whether it’s the story, the characters, or the development of the plot, they are all serving his vision of a movie itself, so there are many reversals. Liu Qidong first has the story, the characters, and then To write about a young man's psychological transformation in the face of an unnatural situation, in the ups and downs of the plot, but also pay great attention to the person's psychological state and situation, this is a story based on the author's consciousness."

Zhou Lan: "Oh my god, if you didn't tell me, I didn't realize it at all."
