Chapter 263 The Protagonist's Problem

The further down the script in their hands, the slower Wen Bai and the others read it.

In the end, it was literally reading down word by word.

Especially when he saw Hachiko in the back, waiting for his master who could never come back at the bus stop day after day and year after year, Su Wu had already seen some people wipe away their tears.

"shoot!"

Wen Bo pursed his lips and slapped his thigh heavily. He shook his face in a concealed manner, trying to dry the moisture from the corners of his eyes.

"This movie, we must make it, and we must make it well."

The other four gritted their teeth and nodded heavily after him.

"Yes!" Mo Baimei clenched her small fists, "Everyone must work hard. Such a touching script, if it is shot well, should become a classic in film history. If we make it bad, even I can't forgive myself."

Before, they and the people from Yangxin Valley tried their best to save Niu Niu at the Yanghuai Mountain Pass, but at that time they only helped with the thought of helping if they could.

However, after returning, Su Xue told them the story of Niu Niu.

When they saw it again, Wen Bai and the others couldn't help feeling a lot.Only then did I understand why Su Wu and the others must rescue the elephant, even if they dig through the earth.

Like Hachiko, Niuniu is also an extremely loyal elephant.Every time it gives birth to a baby, it will send the baby elephant back to its hometown thousands of miles away, and then return to Yangxin Valley silently as a celibate elephant.

Not for anything else, just to catch a glimpse of the married master during the holidays.

For a while, the story in hand made Wen Bai and the others feel deeply.

Now that they decided to film the story of the loyal dog Hachiko, the attitude of the two of them became more serious.They read the script carefully one by one, and grasped every detail in it to ask Su Wu what he meant.

After all, it was he who wrote the script, and Su Wu knew the various plots, pictures and even emotions in it better than them.

Su Wu was very pleased, and took the trouble to describe the scenes of the movies he had seen in his previous life in detail. Hearing Wen Bai and the others nod their heads again and again, their eyes sparkled.

After such a discussion, another half day passed.

"Fifth Brother," Liu Shuai hesitated for a moment, and he glanced at the Bitong tree outside the balcony.

"How about we replace Hachiko with your An'an? That means the protagonist is changed from a dog to a lion. What do you think?"

Everyone was stunned.

Su Wu even gave the tall Liu Shuai a weird look.

If he remembers correctly, this is a big boy from Inner/Mongolia, he did not expect such a rough mind to have such a messy mind.

Liu Shuai blushed, and murmured to explain.

"Fifth Brother, aren't you considering showing the story of the loyal dog Hachiko in theaters? I think if the protagonist is a majestic beast instead of an ordinary dog, it will be more gimmick in terms of publicity and content. Maybe it will be better Attract other spectators to come in and watch."

"Not necessarily." Su Wu shook his head resolutely, "Swapping to a beast like a lion, in my opinion, is a choice that outweighs the gains."

"Of course, Liu Shuai, you are right. Tigers, lions and other ferocious beasts are indeed more attractive in movie promotion." Su Wu praised him first.

"But you as directors as filmmakers, you must remember one thing."

"It is not the promotional film or certain protagonists that really attract the audience, but the core story of the movie itself, or the core emotion. A good movie is a good movie. Other shooting techniques and the fame of the protagonist are just icing on the cake."

"On the contrary, if the core story is a mess, like a certain traffic movie that was released a while ago, what is it called XX Fortress? Capital thinks that as long as you find a traffic star as the protagonist, you can reap the box office by shooting randomly?"

"I'm sorry, but the story told in that movie is illogical and attractive. It doesn't matter how tens of millions of fans the male lead has, and it doesn't matter how beautiful the female lead is. After all, it won't help. Sooner or later, the audience will be cast aside to death."

Speaking of this, Su Wu picked up the tea and took a sip.

"Our story is the same. Tigers and lions are certainly eye-catching, but the protagonist is too far away from ordinary people. Just imagine how many people in the whole country can afford to raise tigers if there is not enough money or special circumstances such as Yangxin Valley lion?"

"For ordinary people, they are existences that can only be seen from a distance and not played with."

"But dogs are different. No matter whether you have money or power, you can afford a dog. For ordinary people, it is more close to the people. Therefore, when it comes to the relationship between humans and dogs, ordinary audiences prefer Easy to take."

"The audience of our movies is these ordinary people. If you want to get a high box office, you should please them. Otherwise, no matter how good the core of the movie is, it will only be mediocre, and no one will watch it after all."

Liu Shuai was sweating profusely and nodded in agreement.

"I took it for granted, thanks to Brother Wu for reminding me."

"Then whose dog should we choose as the protagonist?" Mo Huamei couldn't help being curious, "Is it Duanmin's Abo?"

Everyone couldn't help turning their heads to look at Su Wu.

In the script, Su Wu changed many scenes of the movie to Yangxin Valley.

His meaning is obvious, that is, to use the movie to tell the story in his heart, and at the same time harvest a wave of box office, and by the way, promote the scenery of Yangxin Valley and the deep feelings of the villagers and animals to attract more tourists.

Su Wu still clearly remembered the Hachiko from his previous life, which was carved into a statue by the local supervisor and placed in place, attracting millions of fans to visit every year.

Su Wu dares to guarantee it.

As long as Wen Bai and the others film this story well, the response after the release will definitely not be bad.At that time, Yangxin Valley can also put such a statue in the parking lot of tourists, which can be regarded as adding an additional scenic spot to Yangxin Valley.

Therefore, as the protagonist dog, its image needs to be very particular when choosing.

After all, no one likes a dog that looks fierce or even preys on others.

Su Wu smiled, noncommittal.

"What do you think of Duan Min's Ah Bao?" he asked.

"Very cute." Mo Huamei was the first to rush to answer.

cute! ?
Su Wu smiled meaningfully, and was not surprised by Mo Bamei's answer.

Girls, as long as the puppy's shape doesn't look too scary, I will like them for no reason.

Wen Bo had some different opinions, so he hesitated for a while.

"Duanmin isn't here, so I'll just say it straight. I personally feel that Abo is a bit stupid. It can't get meat every time, so it can only stand on the side with fried hair and protest."

Puchi.

Everyone couldn't help laughing out loud.

There are three animals living in the courtyard of Su Wu's house, only one of them will compete with Ah Bang for meat, and that is Su Wan's An'an.

As a dog, it is normal for it to be unable to grab the meat when facing a lion.

Su Wu smiled.

"Since Ah Bang is too stupid, let's go around and find more dogs. Prepare a few more choices, and finally select the best ones."

He said: "There are a lot of dogs in the village, and many of them are companion pets. If possible, you'd better find a dog that looks good and is obedient. In the future, whether it's filming or filming, it will be much easier. "

When filming Hachiko in the previous life, the film crew found more than a dozen dogs with similar looks to shoot together, and finally cut them together one by one.There is no need to be so troublesome here in Yangxin Valley, just bring a little girl as an interpreter.It is guaranteed that when shooting, you can shoot what you want to shoot.

Wen Bai and the others nodded.

After the script was decided and the selection of the protagonist was made, their faces were a little relieved.

The last thing to decide is investment, which is what they want to know most.

Apparently, Su Wu and Wen Lan had discussed this matter long ago. They smiled and asked Wen Bai and the others to make various budgets first, and then invest enough money in the crew at one time.

According to Su Wu's intention, he paid 50.00% of the money, and the other 50.00% belonged to Wen Bai.

Of course, Wen Bo doesn't have that much money, but he has a good sister who is quite rich.

With a wave of Wen Lan's little hand, she acted as an older sister and supported her younger brother in starting a business.
