Emperor Superstar Cultivation System

Lin Xiao raised a finger.

"500 million, above!"

"What!" The two exclaimed almost simultaneously.

"500 million?! That's more than 1 million yuan!" Su Qingnian said in shock, "Your first Trinity, you need more than 1 million yuan?!"

Li Qiangwei gritted her teeth and looked at Lin Xiao, she thought he was joking.

But she didn't see a joking expression on the other's face.

The atmosphere returned to the negotiating position strangely.

Negotiations are like this. When there is a common goal, even if there was unhappiness before, they will inadvertently return to the main road.

"If it's missing, I can't shoot." Lin Xiao replied calmly.

"Mr. Lin." Li Qiangwei took a deep breath, "It is said that this is your first time writing a screenplay?"

"Yes."

"First time directing?"

"Yes."

"Maybe you are a genius in acting, but you are just a beginner in writing and directing." The two have already entered a state of negotiation. Li Qiangwei said, "From artist to director and screenwriter, how do you get there without a few years of accumulation?"

"I heard from Mr. Gu Chuan that you are a trinity. I hesitated for a long time before deciding to cooperate with you. A few million is already our greatest sincerity, and you actually asked for 500 million!"

Fifteen million dollars. More than 500 million RMB!

For any company, it is not a small sum, but a sum of money that can affect the company's process.Even if Warner is one of the giants, it will not squander.

Companies that don't know how to use money wisely are just waiting to go bankrupt.

Miramax dared to invest 3000 million in Zhang Yimou because of Zhang Yimou's accumulation in his early years and because of Zhang Yimou's face.

As for Lin Xiao, at least as a director, he doesn't have this face, and he hasn't left his figure in people's memory yet.

But it was such a new director and screenwriter who confidently bid a sky-high price of [-] million yuan!

How could Li Qiangwei not be shocked!

Su Qingnian was also completely stunned, he only had one thought now, Lin Xiao was too self-confident!

"Since I dare to be a trinity, I am definitely not overheated, but have [-]% confidence." Lin Xiao said affirmatively.

"Every director will say that he is confident. With all due respect to Mr. Lin, there are too many such directors in Hollywood. Even if you take a taxi, you will see a resume related to the movie under the driver's seat .Hollywood doesn’t believe in empty talk, only results.”

"Mr. Lin, I invested 500 million US dollars in you, what can you bring us?" Li Qiangwei spoke eloquently, without the slightest weakness of a woman. "We can give you technical and financial support, but what about you?"

"I can open up the influence of China's box office for you!" Lin Xiao said decisively, "I repeat, what I need is not money. It doesn't matter to me. If I don't want to be the best, I can cooperate with Lianhe. I believe it is much easier for me to get [-] million investment from them than from you."

The implication is, don't think that you seem to be determined by me. At worst, I will let Hong Kong and Taiwan do special effects. Funding is not that important to me.

"How much box office can you bring us?" Li Qiangwei chased after him.

"At least close to 4000 million US dollars!"

Li Qiangwei was silent.

She doesn't believe in drawing big cakes, but she also won't give up the opportunity.

"You already have a script?" She asked hesitantly.

"There is a rough script." Lin Xiao didn't hide it, "but it's being polished. I don't plan to publish it until it's fully written."

The room fell into an eerie silence.

After a while, Li Qiangwei said, "Let's talk about it after Mr. Lin reviews the script."

For the next time, the two ate with restraint. After eating, Lin Xiao left with an excuse.

Li Qiangwei sat in her seat with twinkling eyes.

The anger in her heart did not dissipate, and neither did Lin Xiao, so the second half of the meal was windy and cold, and the two of them hardly spoke.

"1000 million? Do you really think he is Zhang Yimou? Dare to ask for 1000 million? When Warner's money came from a tornado?" She sneered.

"My first Trinity, Warner gave him 500 million US dollars, and an investment of more than 4000 million yuan, which he still thinks is too little! I really don't have any self-knowledge!"

"Ma'am, what about investing..." Su Qingnian asked carefully.

"No rush." ​​Li Qiangwei took a sip of the red wine, her eyes were cold, "Before the script has been reviewed, why are we in a hurry? He needs our technology, and we can give him the technology. If it's really a good script, why not buy it? "

"However, I don't like the feeling that it's difficult to control...Investment and investment means that we can control the direction of the film. He is obviously not in a hurry for money now, and it is difficult for us to intervene in the film."

"Be prepared. If the script is not good, then naturally there is nothing to talk about. If the script is good..."

She said coldly, "Then, no matter what, at least one assistant director must be inserted!"

December 04, 12.

"Two-star script."

"Two and a half star script."

"Two-star script."

Lin Xiao tried to revise the script three times, and finally realized something.

Script writing was much more difficult than he imagined.

"Why did the rating of the script I wrote drop instead?" He asked the system this question more than once.

This time, the system gave a rare explanation.

"There are three taboos in script writing."

"First, writing a script becomes writing a novel."

"The script needs to be concise and clear, and try to save psychological description. But it doesn't mean that psychological description is unnecessary, but it is expressed through dialogue and language."

"For example, the scene where Xiao Wei was slashed by a knife in Painted Skin. Your modification is, when the knife is slashed on Xiao Wei, what's going on in Xiao Wei's heart, and then she remains unmoved."

"This violates the first taboo. The correct way to write it is: Xiao Wei was slashed with a knife, her eyes were full of tears, her body trembled slightly, and then she screamed hysterically."

"The inner speculation is the job of the artist, not the job of the screenwriter. You need to create and tell them this atmosphere, but not to limit their frame."

"Second, it is to use dialogue to explain the plot."

"Too many dialogues will weaken the picture of the movie. For a good movie, there are few dialogues but incisive, and every sentence must be carefully crafted. stronger."

"Third, there are too many details."

"If a movie has too many people and too many scenes, it will cause the memory to be scattered and the audience's attention will be weakened. A World Without Thieves made this mistake."

Lin Xiao read these three points silently again, and he could remember them each time, but when he wrote them, he couldn't remind himself all the time.

There are always times when you can't control the pen.

And a good script must not only do this, but also count the props in it after each scene.

After eight months of training, he already knew that the script would be divided into scenes after writing, and everything in each scene needs to be written clearly.

For example, in the scene where Donnie Yen chops up Zhou Xun in Painted Skin, what kind of knife is used, where is the scene, and any props that need special attention, all must be clear.

This creates a contradiction. The script has already thought of something, but this thing cannot be completed in reality.

It's like asking for a heavenly palace at the beginning, but this heavenly palace can't be completed at all.

In short, imagination is beautiful, but reality is cruel.Unconstrained imagination leads to countless frictions between props and script, actors and script.

"No wonder it took half a year to write the script of A World Without Thieves." He sighed secretly, and once again plunged into deep thinking.

……

Outside the door, Qin Xin and Qin Zhong looked at the closed door, frowning.

"Little sister, how long has he been?"

"It's been more than ten days..." Qin Xin was also worried. "Since A World Without Thieves was painting, I almost never leave the door. I write something every day. It took me a long time to open the door."

"It's like being possessed..."

"I'll go and have a look." Qin Zhong gritted his teeth, "It just so happened that someone came to the door today, and it's time for him to come out to meet the sun."

"Dong dong dong." He knocked on the door, but there was no response.

In the room, Lin Xiao turned a deaf ear and was completely immersed in the comparison in his mind.

"This is a battle royale script, a five-star script." He carefully "read" the lines in his mind, and sighed, "It turns out that this method is used to explain..."

When you have a certain foundation, you can get the most improvement by observing the scripts of the masters.

However, he is probably the only one who has this condition on the whole earth.

Which script of this level is not regarded as a treasure by their company?

want to?There are no doors.

Unless you wait five or six years before you are willing to release it.

Letting the opponent observe is creating a trap for oneself.

Only he can see the works of the hall-level masters in this kind of movie.

After ten consecutive days of revisions, he was stuck at two and a half stars and couldn't make any progress, and finally chose to observe other people's works.

Unexpectedly, I have benefited a lot from this observation. Many places that I was confused in the past have been proved to have a tendency to be greatly improved.

It was like opening up a new world, and countless things attracted him.

When he was immersed in this world, suddenly, a hasty knock on the door woke him up.

To be precise, it was smashed.

"Open the door! Lin Xiao! It's me!" Qin Zhong's loud voice sounded outside the door.

"Here we come." He said with extreme reluctance.

Opening the door, Qin Zhong saw his bloodshot eyes, wanted to say something, finally sighed and said, "Do you know how long I've been knocking?"

Before he could answer, he went on to say, "10 minutes! A full 10 minutes! If you don't open the door again, I will notify the funeral home!"

"Why is it like this?" Qin Xin asked worriedly.

"I'm addicted..." Lin Xiao sighed, and unexpectedly found that the sunlight outside the room was dazzling.

"Clean up, someone has come to the company and wants to see us." Qin Zhong smiled wryly, "To be precise, I want to see you."

"Who?" Lin Xiao stretched his waist and asked nonchalantly.

"Wanda." Qin Zhong said suspiciously, "How do you know people in the real estate industry? I'm not surprised that they are looking for Chu Yiming, but why are they looking for you?"

Wanda?Lin Xiao was shocked.

This is one of the reasons why he dared to say that there is no shortage of funds!

One hundred million is more, but there are more rich people in China!And he is familiar with the "film industry memorabilia", and he has already calculated that even if Warner does not agree, other companies will find him!

Such as Wanda, such as Lianhe!

With the opening of the theater chain system, artists and directors have really become a hot spot for everyone.
