The ace agent starts with the girl group

Chapter 398
"Mr. Xu, you are the screenwriter. After watching the movie, I really want to ask you a question. Did Yuan Lang succeed? Did he create a parallel world?" In front of the screen, Xu Qing and other main creators stood in a row, waiting Ask questions from the media or fans watching the movie.

After hearing this question, Xu Qing raised the microphone and said to this person: "You can define and arrange for yourself whether it is successful or not. I think the important thing is that after Yuan Lang realizes that these people are actually dead, he is still willing to try to save them. .

In the eyes of the female officer, the professor and everyone else, these people had already died because of the train bombing.

But in Yuan Lang's eyes, in each cycle, these people are living people who appear beside him. If you were Yuan Lang, would you choose to save them? "

"Mr. Xu, the next question is, when "Source Code" was promoted, it was said that it was a sister chapter of "The Beginning". In your personal opinion, what is the difference between the two works you wrote, or what are the commonalities? ?”

"If you want to say something different, it is in the explanation of the cause of the cycle. In "The Beginning", I did not explain at all why there is such a thing as a cycle, but in the movie "Source Code", We explain the reason for the loop from the simulation of the source code program.

As for what they have in common, I think both works describe the brilliance of human nature. What these two works actually express is not the cycle or the principle behind the cycle.

They always emphasize people, and different people make different choices. Xu Qing replied, this is his own understanding, and it is also his thinking when adapting the script.

Xu Qing didn't know if the original author thought so, but he did.

The core of film and television works is always the expression of human nature, family affection, friendship, love, hatred, resentment, struggle, dreams, setbacks, suffering and even great love and righteousness, small belly, dark, bright, vacillating, all kinds of sentient beings, all kinds of things.

As long as a certain expression can be made real and profound enough, then this film and television work will not be too bad.

Film and television works without true and profound expression of human nature are like a plate of sand, which will disperse without the wind blowing.

Many directors sometimes either want to express too much, but they don't express anything clearly, or they just don't want to understand at all, and what they express is superficial and too false.

In this case, the audience can't empathize. How can you make people like something that you can't empathize with.

The questioning was still going on, and for some reason, this group of people caught Xu Qing asking questions, which made Xu Qing a little helpless, what's going on with you people?

Ask the hero and heroine, don’t you like handsome men and beautiful women?

"Mr. Xu, what are your expectations for how much box office "Source Code" will eventually reap?" Another question was thrown to Xu Qing.

"Director, how much do you think we can get at the box office for this movie?" Xu Qing didn't want to answer this question. If you answered too little, you didn't have confidence in yourself. Let the director handle this topic.

Seeing that Xu Qing threw the ball to himself, the director said without any ambiguity to the person who just asked the question: "With the blessing of Mr. Xu's script and so many excellent actors, I think our box office can do well." Breaking through 20 billion, today's box office champion must be our "Source Code."

Xu Qing couldn't help but look sideways at this answer with Hong Kong popularity. How dare you say that breaking through 20 billion is fine, and we will be the box office champion directly. This is a bit crazy to hear, brother.

However, this director is an old director. He was filming in the golden age of Xiangjiang movies, and he encountered more interviews than Xu Qing had seen.

He dared to say that, there must be a reason, nothing more than a blog topic.

It's good. It's quite cool to meet this kind of director. When something happens, there will definitely be people who attack him. This is tantamount to taking the blame on himself.

The final production cost of "Source Code" is about 6000 million yuan, plus the cost of publicity and distribution, excluding other copyright benefits, the box office is less than 8 million yuan, and based on the 39% share ratio, 3900 million box office The film side can divide [-] million.

As for Xu Qing, Wu Youjin said at the beginning that he would give himself 5 points of the box office share.

These 5 points are nothing if you don’t get back your money. If you have a box office of 500 million, you have to give Xu Qing 5000 million, and if you have a box office of [-] billion, you have to give Xu Qing [-] million.

In other words, what Wu Youjin actually got was 34% of the account share.

At the beginning, Wu Youjin insisted on recruiting himself into the group, so Xu Qing naturally couldn't sign any profit share with him. This kind of big company can make money for you, and the box office that is obviously making a lot of money can make you a loss. Hollywood and Xiangjiang, this kind of thing Don't be too common.

At the beginning, the director of Xiangjiang cheated the investors in the mainland like this. When doing the accounting, he dared to write three to five thousand for a broken fan prop, and the cost was exorbitant.

Some investors were almost cheated and jumped off the building. In the end, everyone made a lot of money, and the investors lost money.

Therefore, sometimes the decline of Xiangjiang movies can not be blamed on other people. They themselves are too ugly to look at and treat others as fools.

Just when Xu Qing was thinking about racing, the person who asked the question obviously didn't intend to let him go, so he asked Xu Qing, "Mr. Xu, what do you think of the director's box office forecast?"

"I'm a newcomer to film, and the director is a senior. He has said so, so what can I do?" Xu Qing responded with a smile.

The interview continued. After a series of activities including taking photos, Xu Qing politely declined any celebration banquet and took the meatballs back to the hotel.

After returning to the hotel, Xu Qing's uninjured buttocks were still sitting still, when Yang Tutu, who was removing makeup in the bathroom, bluffed and said, "I sent you a news, take a look."

Xu Qing turned on the phone, saw the link sent by Yang Tutu, clicked on it, and Xu Qing's face instantly became exciting.

I saw the headline of the news saying [Source code premiered successfully, Xu Qing boldly announced that he would win 20 billion at the box office]

Good guy, how many of you media people can write nonsense.

When did I say I was going to get 20 billion at the box office?

Isn't that what the director said?

Lao Tzu just agreed with me, so this is what I said?

After reading it, Xu Qing directly opened the Weibo to check the source code related news.

Wu Youjin obviously bought the popular search and promotion. When this kind of release is released, the announcement is the time to spend money desperately.

Then, Xu Qing saw all kinds of messy titles.

[Xu Qing said, "Source Code" must be this year's box office champion]

[Xu Qing said that he wants to replicate the success of recurring themes such as "The Beginning" in the film market]

["Source Code" has a target box office of 20 billion, Xu Qing has set a goal]

I didn't say it, you people have no conscience, I, Xu, have always been modest and cautious, when would I say such cruel words.

Why do you slander me?

Wu Youjin, the dog day, I knew that these 5 points were not easy to get. The director did it on purpose. If Wu Youjin hadn't released the news, Xu Qing would dare to run naked on his head.

Good guy, I thought you, the director, took the initiative to take over the pot, and I just praised you in my heart for nothing.

Speaking of which, no matter the director present or the other main creators, compared with Xu Qing, the popularity and topicality are really far behind.

If Wu Youjin didn't follow Xu Qing's actions, he would be sorry for Xu Qing's popularity.

"Why do they all say you said it?" Xu Qing was watching the news when Yang Tutu's voice came from the bathroom again, and she was still taking off her makeup.

"I'd say it's more effective."

"Will this affect you?"

"There will definitely be an impact, but it doesn't matter. The hype, whoever is popular will be the one who gets fired." Xu Qing was not really that angry. The more hype, the more attention the movie received, and the audience wanted to watch the movie. Sometimes, I will naturally pick someone familiar to look at.

When many people choose movies, they choose blindly. Xu Qing himself, for example, has always watched which movies he is familiar with.

Unless there are any non-children-oriented animated movies, he will definitely choose to watch animated movies, because watching them on a big screen is really cool.

Speaking of which, Xu Qing has watched a lot of cartoons in the cinema, and his favorite is the one called "Coco".

In fact, the big animated movie "Joyful Basket Out of the Future" is also good, it's really good, it's not a mockery.

The script and plot of "Source Code" is quite good, it can be called a good commercial film, mixed with some thinking about human nature, the audience will definitely not be fed garbage when they buy tickets.

Therefore, more hype is also good. The more box office, the more I will get. I just bought a house, and Xu Qing is poor.

Of course, Xu Qing can take it easy, some people can be regarded as caught on the spot.
