This top guy only treats celebrities as his job

A week later, the main actors of "Entertainment in 1997" were all found.

This time, except for Lin Xing and Yang Tian, ​​the other actors are not very well-known. Even Li Qian is not famous.

There are also some actors that everyone may be slightly familiar with, but you can't remember their names.

"Today is our first meeting. First, we will get to know each other. Next, we will work together to complete this project."

Lin Xing said to everyone, "Next, let's introduce our selves and get to know each other first."

At this point, Lin Xing said, "Let's start with Director Dai."

Dai An laughed, "Okay, hello, let me introduce myself to you all. I'm Dai An, and I'm the director of Entertainment 1997."

"By the way, there is actually one thing we need to settle today."

Lin Xing waited for Dai An to finish speaking and said, "This is also the main reason for calling everyone here. The name of this movie needs to be changed. Because this is an entertainment novel, it is natural to use the word "Entertainment" in the name of Yuewen Qidian, because this way there will be readers. People who like entertainment novels will definitely read it, but the audience of our movie is all those who like comedy, so we must think of a name..."

Diane nodded gently: "I agree with this. I have also met with the author and had some discussions with him. You can take a look at the script I sent him. He talked in detail about his ideas for the name of this novel..."

indeed.

According to Pei Yigeng, the main characters in the novel were actually named after four people: Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter.

The protagonist is called Xia Chen.

The school beauty that the protagonist likes is called Qiumei, and the other female protagonist is called Dongzhi, and the supporting character is called Chunhai.

Pei Yigeng actually mentioned several names for the novel, but these names are still not suitable for the movie title.

"I think it could be called "Return to Youth"?"

Diane thought for a moment and said, "The name tells you what kind of movie this is."

Yang Tian said with some concern: "Doesn't this name sound a bit like the name of an art film or a campus film?"

Dai An smiled and said, "Indeed, but isn't this the "Parallel Cohabitation" you and Lin Xing just collaborated on that was a huge success? In that case, I think we can continue on this path."

"Yeah, I also think the name 'Youth Again' is good. It sounds like an art film."

"That's right. Teacher Lin is the creator of art films after all. I think as long as it's an art film, everyone will watch it."

"I think it's good too. Youth Again gives people the feeling of returning to school days, which is really in line with this movie."

……

Many times, people’s considerations are not the same, or their expectations are different, so naturally their starting points are also different.

For Diane, he bid farewell to his role as a failed director with the art film "Killing Ading". The two films Diane shot later were also art films.

What should I say? ?
It wasn't a flop, but it was far from being a hit either. Even its box office never surpassed that of "Killing Ading".

It can be said that the movie "Killing Ading" is Diane's peak.

Now, when filming the movie "Entertainment 1997", to be honest, Diane thinks that this movie is a comedy, but it can be made more like an art film. People always like to shoot the kind of film that they are most comfortable with, just like doing things, they all go with the rhythm and posture that they are comfortable with. To put it bluntly, it is a kind of inertia.

Just like today's discussion about the movie "Entertainment of 1997", when Diane heard that the name was going to be changed, his first reaction was to directly use the name of an art film.

The other actors had similar thoughts.

In addition to Yang Tian, ​​after all, Yang Tian is now a billionaire, so she naturally has higher aspirations for the new movie.

Yang Tian was worried that if it was an art film, the box office would probably be much lower.

After all, who dares to say that Lin Xing’s next art film can make 30 billion? Or 20 billion? ?

As for comedy films, they actually have a large market and the overall market is relatively stable.

As for other actors, they have never acted in big movies and some of them even played supporting roles.

They have similar ideas to Diane, that a box office of over 100 million would be considered a success.

That's why everyone thought it would be okay to give it an art film name. What's more, everyone thinks that Lin Xing is the absolute best in art films, so there's nothing wrong with an art film.

“I still don’t think this name is right.”

Seeing everyone agree, Yang Tian became anxious: "You should know that the market for art films is much smaller than that for comedy films, so I think we should give it a more popular name."

Li Qian said: "I think it's okay. The name "Back to Youth" doesn't necessarily mean it's just an art film. I personally think it's a bit like a campus film. After all, this script was supposed to be filmed in a campus setting first..."

Lin Xing didn't say anything the whole time, he still hoped that everyone could discuss it together.

But it was obvious that except for Yang Tian, ​​the other actors did not want to offend Diane, so everyone thought the name proposed by Diane was good.

That's understandable.

After all, they are all young actors. It seems a bit inappropriate to ask them to say that the director's name is not good, right? ?
What's more, since Dai An and Li Qian both think it's okay, other people may not say anything.

Thinking of this, Lin Xing decided to just have the final say.

"This is not a campus movie. The campus only accounts for a small part of the script. We can't keep telling the story of campus like the original novel. That's why I deleted all the so-called pretentious and embarrassing things about campus when I wrote the script..."

Lin Xing smiled and said, "I think what Datiantian said is quite good. Our movie is a comedy, and we need to target a wider audience, so the name must not give people the impression that it is an art film or a youth film..."

As soon as Lin Xing said this, Li Qian hurriedly said, "Ah Xing, you are right, then let's give it a formal name?"

"That's not necessary. We are a comedy, and comedy shouldn't be so serious."

Lin Xing thought for a moment and said, "The protagonist of this drama is called Xia Chen, but I just suddenly remembered something, so why not call me Xia Chen instead? Call me Xia Luo."

Charlotte??
Everyone was slightly puzzled at this time.

"Yes, Charlotte, and I think it can be a pun."

Lin Xing said directly: "Let's call Charlotte Trouble." (End of this chapter)
