Chapter 16: A Script
Two days later, in the evening, when I got home, I sat down on a chair in the study tiredly. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
He had just returned from a few old friends, and they had been discussing it for a while, but they couldn't find a good idea.
Not to mention the group of editors in the company, who came up with a script that made him want to cry.
Of course, this also has something to do with the fact that the two good screenwriters were poached by Golden Harvest and Shaw Brothers.
Is it really that difficult to make a movie?
Guan Yi frowned, his eyes inadvertently swept over the desk, but he was surprised to find that a stack of papers was neatly placed on the desk, and the first page had five big characters in regular block letters.
"Seven days of wrong feelings".
What do you mean?
What is it?
Guan Yi picked up the stack of bound paper in surprise, and found that it was quite thick, at least hundreds of pages.
Let go of the second page, which is also neatly written.
"The story takes place on Lantau Island, which is far from the urban area. Yang Naidong is a 30-year-old married woman who lives in a two-story house on Lantau Island with her husband, who owns a company, and lives on weekdays to buy vegetables and cook, but suddenly one day, she finds that her husband is missing......
Guan Yi looked at it very casually at first, but when he looked at it, he became interested, and he looked more and more carefully.
His brow furrowed from time to time, and he smiled from time to time.
When he saw the end of the story, Li Du was at the pier and was about to return to Hong Kong Island, and Yang Naidong rode a small motorcycle to see him off.
This is the end of the story.
Rao is Guan Shirt is used to seeing the end of a tragedy, and this is not a tragedy, it's just that two people who shouldn't be together have returned to their own lives, but Guan Shan is still angry in his heart.
But such a story made him still have a long aftertaste when he closed his eyes, the joys and sorrows in it, and the sadness of being inseparable in the end, but having to be separated, all made Guan Shan seem to have experienced it.
After coming back to his senses, Guan Shirt took a sip of tea, only to realize that what he had read was only a dozen pages of stories, and most of the rest had not been read.
Turning the page again, Guan Shan found that this was actually the performance details of the storyline.
In the first paragraph of the scene, Li Du, who was first used as a security guard in the parking lot, suddenly fell down in fright when he encountered a car that turned and braked sharply, and rolled into the parking lot, showing his bad luck. But Li Du himself would not feel that he should use slightly exaggerated expressions and movements to express a laughing and unlucky effect. β
In the second paragraph of the scene, Yang Naidong, who was wearing a white dress, was picking flowers in the flower shop, focusing on expressing Yang Naidong's leisurely and relaxed, and the confusion when he met her husband when he ran away with love in the future, forming a stark contrast. β
In the third paragraph of the scene, Li Du turned to be a security guard in the gold shop, holding a gun at the door of the gold store, he saw a beautiful woman waiting for someone there, just around her, but this beauty was a bait, when Li Du tried to show himself, two people suddenly rushed out of the corner, beat him with sticks, and then snatched his gun. Note: Although Xiangjiang does not have such a security guard hanging outside with a gun, this can better highlight the comedic effect. β
ββ¦β¦β
Guan Yi looked at it paragraph by piece, and found that all the plots that should be filmed were written out in this detail.
Not only the plot development, the character dialogue, but also the psychological expression, are all expressed.
This is a bit like a popular foreign corner shot, if the director wants to shoot, just follow this, and the effect is absolutely good.
There are still a few pages in the end, and when I look at it again, it is a white villa with an exterior drawing, interior drawing, furnishing drawing, and so on.
Guan Shan, who has read the story, recognized it at a glance, this is the villa with the most episodes in the story.
With this reference, just rent the villa and dress it up directly, and it is a perfect location for filming a movie scene!
put down the script, and Guan Shan's mind spun quickly.
According to the plot of "Seven Days of Wrong Love", filming such a scene, at most, a dozen people can meet the needs of the entire movie, and even the heroes and heroines who really promote the development of the plot.
It wasn't difficult to shoot either, spending most of the time in and around the villa on Lantau Island, so it didn't cost much to spend on other things.
The biggest expense is the salary of the hero and heroine, as well as the cost of renting a villa, as well as the cost of shooting.
Guan Shan has opened a film company for a few years, and he knows this very well, and after a little estimate, this movie can be won at least 100,000, and at most 200,000.
Now that the company has 500,000 yuan, it is more than enough to make such a movie.
No, don't take that short-sighted man's money!
This movie is very interesting, you can make it all up by yourself, so that all the money is your own, and you are too lazy to let this layman make more money!
Today's investors are becoming more and more impetuous, and they are still making things difficult for themselves everywhere, I knew this, I didn't need to find others to invest in the first placeββ when I thought about it, Guan Shan completely forgot that he didn't expect that there would be such a small production of a good script waiting for him.
Of course, he didn't think about this at all now, but thought about film production and distribution.
The difficult thing is the question of how to release it.
If in the early years, there was only such a large cinema chain as Shaw Brothers, I am afraid that Guan Yi could only go to those scattered movie theaters, because Shaw Brothers only showed their own movies.
But now that Golden Harvest has been born, Golden Harvest Cinemas welcomes the release of films from other film companies, although the bottom fee is relatively high, but it is also a dignified way out, as long as the film is good, you can make money.
Is "Seven Days of Wrong Love" a good script?
Yes, of course!
Although emotion is the most important factor in this, it is full of jokes all the time, which makes Guan Yi laugh several times, not to mention those ordinary audiences.
If the production cost is 150,000 yuan, then if you add the bottom fee, distribution fee, printing fee, etc., the estimated cost should be about 300,000 yuan.
Without other people's investment, it's still completely okay to squeeze a little bit of 300,000 yuan and borrow a little by yourself.
As long as the box office of "Seven Days of Love" can exceed 600,000, then you can make money.
Last year's box office champion was "Fa Qian Han", with a box office of 5.06 million, and the 41st place was "A Sir After Poison Tiger", with about 808,000.
According to the movies that Guan Yi has watched for so many years and acted in movies for so many years, "Seven Days of Love" is definitely better than "A Sir After Poisoning the Tiger", I dare not say that the box office is 2 million, but 1.5 million should still be able to rush it, and the minimum box office is at least more than 1 million.
In this way, you can earn at least 30-400,000 yuan, and if you are lucky, it may be possible to earn 70-800,000 yuan.
You must know that last year, he worked hard to film, but he only earned more than 150,000 yuan!
Now a movie can bring in two or three times the income, or even more, which really excites him!
After taking a few more sips of tea, Guan Shan forced himself to calm down.
Only then did he think of it, who is the script of "Seven Days of Wrong Love", and why is it in front of him?
Suddenly a little flustered, he hurriedly rushed out, grabbed the script and ran into his room, "Wife, wife, you put the script on my table? Where did you find it? How many film companies have this script been cast in?"
Zhang Bingqian, who was applying a mask, was puzzled for a while, "What are you talking about? What script? I don't know." β
"Didn't you put it?" Guan Yi was even more surprised, "You don't know the script of "Seven Days of Love"!
"Of course I don't know, I don't have access to these things now. Zhang Bingqian said funny.
"You see, you see...... This, this is not you, who else could it be?"
Guan Shan stuffed the script into Zhang Bingqian's hand, looking a little impatient.
Zhang Bingqian took the script, flipped through it casually, and her face changed a little: "This ......"
"What's this?" asked Guan Shan.
"This script is very good?" Zhang Bingqian asked with her head up.
"Nonsense! Absolutely first-class good script!Can make a lot of money!!" Guan Shirt ripped off his tie and said, "Just put it on my desk, I just read it, not only the detailed plot, but also the sub-scenes, as well as the scene painting design...... This is a movie at all! As long as you are familiar with a little bit of film, you can make it according to the script! I have never seen a screenwriter in Xiangjiang write a script so seriously!!"
Seeing that Guan Yi was so anxious, Zhang Bingqian could only tell the truth, "I really didn't put this script, but I know who wrote this character." β
"Who?"
"Didn't Yin Jun live in our house some time ago? He wrote a few tunes for his daughter, you know?"
"Yes. β
"The name of the score, along with some notes, is very similar to the handwriting of this script. β
"Really!?"
Guan Shirt was surprised, but he couldn't believe it: "Junzi can write a script?
"You ask me, who do I ask?" Zhang Bingqian spread her hands, "There are only a few of us in this family, since it's not you and me, then you should ask your baby daughter! This matter must have something to do with her." β
"Good!"
Guan Shan didn't think about it, so he grabbed the script and rushed out, and under the knock on the door of his daughter's room, Guan Zhilin, who was already asleep, opened the door with sleepy eyes.
Seeing that it was her father who was flushed, Guan Zhilin had white and beautiful big white eyes, "Daddy, what are you doing?"
"Jiahui, did you give me this script??" Guan Shirt asked in a trembling voice as he waved the script.
"Oh, this script is ......"
Guan Zhilin's eyes were in focus, and after such a pause, Guan Shi's heartbeat soared, and he was afraid that his hopes would be disappointed.
"Yes, it was given to you by Brother Jun, how about it?" Guan Zhilin smiled and nodded, "I took a look, it seems to be pretty good, but the ending is too boring!"
"Hey, you girl! What do you know, that's good!"
Guan Yi was very happy, and gently tapped his daughter's head, "By the way, this script was really written by Junzi himself?
"Of course, it was written by Brother Jun. Guan Zhilin was unhappy all of a sudden, "It's people who said that Daddy has been struggling to find a script recently, so he wrote one for you, and it's just for you! I didn't tell you and Mommy in the car before, Brother Jun is writing stories when he has nothing to do, and Mommy still laughs at him!"
"Good, good, great!"
confirmed that this was a script written by Yin Jun for himself, Guan Yi was so excited that he was about to float, and he didn't care about anything else.
Suddenly kissed his daughter on the face, and then ran back to his room with a smile.
"Hate ~~"
Guan Zhilin wiped her face, but seeing that Daddy was so happy, she also knew that this script must be very good.
It's really nice to be able to help Daddy, but it's a good thing~~
Thinking of this, a bright smile bloomed on Miss Guan's face.
My handsome brother will never let me down!!
