"Just draw it casually, just draw a schematic diagram." Lin Chen casually took a few pieces of paper from the table, took out a pen from his pocket, and gave it to Wu Xiaoqing.

Wu Xiaoqing roughly drew it according to his memory, and he also had a little sense of secrecy. He didn’t draw the search and rescue team, so he drew two stick figures, representing the two earthlings in the script, and then drew a bunch of small circles, representing those primitive people. .He still hadn't forgotten the weather that day, so he drew a few lines in the air, counting them as raindrops.

Lin Chen nodded, and asked him to draw other things he just said.Wu Xiaoqing didn't know what it was for, so in order to send her away as soon as possible, she drew all of them.Every time he finished a picture, Lin Chen would take out his mobile phone and take a clear picture of the picture.

When it was almost finished, Wu Xiaoqing thought that all this was finally coming to an end.But Lin Chen asked, "Mr. Wu, I wonder if you are interested in completing this script yourself?"

Wu Xiaoqing froze for a moment, pointed at the kindergarten-level ghost drawing symbols he had just completed, and said in disbelief, "You mean, shoot this?"

"Yes," Lin Chen said, "This script is very interesting, don't you think? Besides, the props are all ready-made. You should have bought them all. As long as the funds are in place, actors and directors can be found, and the filming can start."

Wu Xiaoqing smiled stiffly: "But who would pay to see this thing?"

Lin Chen asked back: "Aliens come to find people on earth, and some people like to watch it. Why don't people on earth like to go to aliens?"

Wu Xiaoqing opened his mouth: "But...the aliens in the movie all come to Earth with flying saucers. They have high technology, so they look good."

"Then why did you come up with such a story?"

Of course Wu Xiaoqing would not say that this is what he saw, but for a while, he couldn't think of any other reason.

Lin Chen answered this question for him: "It must be that you think that the story will be more interesting than the previous ones. The earthlings are described as aliens, from the aliens invading the earth to the earthlings saving the aliens. , simple reverse thinking, but has a completely different feeling. This is innovation, Mr. Wu Xiaoqing."

"Innovation...innovation?" Wu Xiaoqing had never received such praise in his life, and even his stealthy methods were complained by the police for their lack of technical content.

"Yes, of course it is innovation. This is an unprecedented story," Lin Chen continued to encourage Wu Xiaoqing, "The most important thing is that there is no need for special effects or flying saucers. Mr. Wu, your script is completely suitable for the development of domestic science fiction films. Realistically, only some extras are needed to act as primitive people to perform the plot. And the theme is profound, and the values ​​are also very positive.”

"But I don't know how to make movies?"

"We will hire a professional director to complete the story," Lin Chen said, "You don't need to understand it, you just need to be responsible for grasping the feeling of the whole story."

"What do you feel?"

"Save," Lin Chen said, "Have you watched Saving Private Ryan? Just like the feeling you showed when you told the story just now, it has this flavor."

This sounds really touching. Turning the story of saving people into a movie and making everyone praise him is really not a small temptation for Wu Xiaoqing now, especially when he is about to bid farewell to that world when.If it was true, as the search and rescue team said, to leave after finishing and not to contact him again, then who would remember what he did?

But Wu Xiaoqing knows better that this is something that the eldest brother attaches great importance to, and there may be more such experiences in the future.Thinking of this, Wu Xiaoqing made up his mind to reject the woman in front of him: "Forget it, I can't do the movie, and I'm busy these days, so I don't have time to get involved in it. Otherwise, this story is useless anyway." Yes, if you are interested, you can take it back and shoot it."

"That's different. If there is no original author of the story to check, it will be difficult for the director to accurately grasp the emotions in the story." Seeing Wu Xiaoqing's hesitant look, Lin Chen added, "Actually, as long as you come to the set and chat with the director Chat, it won't take up too much of your time."

Wu Xiaoqing thought hard for a while, and wanted to refuse, but found that there was nothing to say. The other party's attitude is very low now, so it can be said that it is not a request at all, and he is very sleepy now, coupled with nervousness, Subconsciously want to end this matter quickly.

"Then...if you're free...that's fine too."

"Then it's settled, can you leave a phone number?" Lin Chen asked the village head and branch secretary, "Leave your phone numbers too, and there may be things that need to trouble you. This is my card."

"Don't bother, don't bother," the branch secretary suggested from the side, "Why don't we go have lunch, and everyone is happy to talk about it."

Wu Xiaoqing quickly refused: "I didn't sleep last night, next time."

Lin Chen also said: "I still need to go back to the company to confirm the company's intentions."

Lin Chen got up to leave, but the village head winked at the branch secretary, and the branch secretary pestered Wu Xiaoqing to discuss the script.

The village chief followed Lin Chen out and asked, "Then when will your company come to Dayang Village for inspection? I just heard you say that the movie has mountains and water. Our Dayang Village has all of these. If there is a shortage of extras, everyone in the village can make guest appearances, especially the old people in your movies, right? Our village has a lot of them..."

Lin Chen smiled and listened to the village chief's constant talk, preparing his lines in his mind.After walking to the side of his car, he said to the village chief: "The specific matters need to be decided after the company confirms its intention. The conditions in Dayang Village are indeed good, and I will let the company consider it."

After Lin Chen finished speaking, he got into his car and was about to leave. The village head knocked on the window and said, "I know the rules, and Miss Lin's benefits will definitely be indispensable."

Lin Chen turned his head and stepped on the accelerator.

The village chief was still full of things he was going to say, but Lin Chen could run, but Wu Xiaoqing couldn't.He went back to Wu Xiaoqing's house soon, and the branch secretary was still holding the door for him. The village head walked over and patted Wu Xiaoqing on the shoulder: "Xiaoqing, I watched you grow up. I didn't expect You are so promising now. You can also write movies... It’s amazing, it’s really amazing..."

Wu Xiaoqing's patience was almost exhausted: "Village Chief, I'm really going to sleep. I'll talk about it tomorrow if I have anything to do. Go out."

"I feel that I can sleep anytime, but this opportunity is gone in the past," said the village chief. "Think about it, even if you get a discount of several hundred million yuan, it will cost tens of millions. That woman Listening to you again, when the time comes, you will say that it is best to shoot in Dayang Village..."

Wu Xiaoqing said unhappily: "People spend money to make movies, how can I manage these things. Hundreds of millions? Don't listen to her bragging, maybe she just used a name to tease you, you should go back and check her company Is it true or not?" After speaking, he pushed the two of them out of the door forcefully, and then slammed the door hard.

Anyway, now that the Heavenly King Lao Tzu is here, don't try to pull Wu Xiaoqing up from the bed again.

……

When I returned to the company, several bosses had already arrived, blowing b in the conference room.When Lin Chen entered, the bosses all laughed: "Xiao Lin, you haven't come home for the Chinese New Year, you are so busy every day, which makes us feel embarrassed."

"That's easy, just give me a salary increase. If you think it's troublesome to change the contract, can you add a 0 at the end?" Lin Chen simply sent the few documents he had just copied to the bosses.

Director Chen saw that the copy in his hand was several times thicker than others, flipped through a few pages, and sighed: "Don't think highly of me just because I'm a director, and you added sub-cameras, this kind of script If you look at it more, you will lose your life."

"That won't work," Lin Chen refused, "The main thing is to check on you, Director Chen. You are the reviewer. If you nod your head, we will say other things are useful. If you shake your head, we can do it now." scattered."

Director Chen carefully read the synopsis and the first scene: "It's interesting, how much did this book cost?"

"10,000+ was edited by someone," Lin Chen said. "The price of the original story has not been negotiated yet, but he agreed to give us the story."

Director Chen continued to read. At this stall, Lin Chen briefly introduced the source of this book to everyone. When he mentioned that the creator was a junior high school student with a bad reputation, several bosses were a little surprised. One of them was surnamed Bai said, "It's the same as when I was a child. Have you ever been in prison?"

"No, it's just petty theft," Lin Chen said, "He owed a whole lot of debt half a month ago, and was forced to jump into the river." Lin Chen talked about the news he had inquired from Shi Qiang, and the people present Everyone took it as a joke after listening to it, and everyone was happy.

This happiness made everyone feel a little emotional when they read the book. Boss Bai read it the fastest, but he didn't have any conclusions: "I don't understand this business. You can discuss it. Just tell me how much you plan to vote for this play." ?”

"According to the book, it's only 2000 million," said a man wearing glasses. "Let's try the water first?"

"That's what I mean," Lin Chen said, "Although I personally think the book is not bad, but after all, there are no such films in China, and it is more difficult to control. We can't afford big foreign directors, so we can only choose from young ones. …Famous ones don’t know how to shoot, for fear of ruining the brand.”

At this time, Director Chen raised his head and asked, "Xiao Lin, is 2000 million a little less?"

Lin Chen paid attention to Director Chen's expression. He felt a little excited, but suppressed it. He just said, "It's not too bad. After all, there are risks."

"Since we are going to be the first to eat crabs, we might as well eat bigger ones," Director Chen roughly calculated in his mind, and then said, "The book is very good, and a few points in it can be made bigger, otherwise it would be a pity How about increasing it to 5000 million?"

The bosses looked at each other, saw Director Chen's serious face, and said pleasantly, "Old Chen, do you want to shoot?"

Director Chen waved his hand: "I can't make this kind of scene," and then he said a name, "What do you think?"

The bosses stopped talking. Director Chen shook his head and said another name.

But everyone remained silent.

Director Chen thought about it carefully: "If I were to do the filming, I'm afraid it would cost up to [-] million, mainly for the crocodile scene, which needs special effects, otherwise the effect won't come out."

The bosses immediately felt excited: "Who is the number one looking for?" Then they asked themselves and answered several names, all of whom are now very popular.

Director Chen shook his head slightly and said: "The first part of this play is still suitable for newcomers, and the second part can be taken by the elderly." Then he said a few more names.

The boss wearing glasses calculated the price: "I'm afraid I can't afford this budget, and they may not be willing to be number two."

"Should I come forward to talk about it? Besides, this play is not serious, so the price can still be negotiated," Director Chen said, "But the group performance is a big problem. The main highlight of this play is the group play. A group of primitive people who are about to die of starvation and disease , Think about it, when modern people take off their clothes, they are full of fat and muscle, so it's so miserable."

Boss Bai looked at the script, but thought of another level: "This script can be changed to time travel, and the ones saved are not aliens, but our ancestors, making it into the story of Dayu's flood control."

Director Chen quickly vetoed it: "The taste is off-putting, and the book is a metaphor for foreigners' Noah's Ark. Chinese people heal their own water. If you really want to pretend to be God to save foreigners, even if there is no Please, people in China say you worship foreigners, and people abroad say you make up nonsense and disrespect God.”

"What about the original work of this book?" Director Chen asked Lin Chen, "Can we find a chance to meet and talk?"

"No problem," Lin Chen said, "I'll make an appointment for you. Now my question is when will this book be finalized, and I can let it go after it's finalized... I've still saved up my annual leave, just for you guys. an item."

Director Chen nodded: "No rush, I'll take the book home and read it for two days... These storyboards are quite interesting, and the writer of the book knows storyboards?"

"No," Lin Chen said, "it was drawn by the junior high school student. I took a look at it, and I really felt it. By the way, there is also the recording of what he said at the beginning. If you are interested, you can take it back and listen to it. He said this story is more exciting than reading a book."
