The gathering of the four directors lasted for a whole week.

Including Wei Xiaolin, who is purely voluntary, and Sun Peng, who is swaying in half a bottle of water, the four of them took the new storyboard script written by Sun Peng, and studied it several times against the script completed a month ago, and the plot was revised in more than ten places, and as for the dialogue, more than 100 changes were made......

In the eyes of Wei Xiaolin and others, the changes to the script are really not big.

The main backbone of the plot has not moved, the important characters have not moved, and even the various settings have basically not been touched, only some small details that everyone thinks can be better, and there are many inappropriate dialogues - in the final analysis, the three directors are still far more in awe of Lao Bai's script than they question, and many opinions have not dared to put forward.

But for Sun Peng, this is a very new experience.

His scripts are all from memory, and what needs to be changed in those films that have proven to be successful? Even if Sun Peng is a layman, he understands that there is no so-called perfection in the world, let alone a different world! However, although the script written by Sun Peng before has also been changed, it is basically revised by others, and it is the first time that he has taken the initiative to participate......

Except for the first day at Song Qun's house, the next few days were in Sun Peng's villa. On the last day, it was a quiet teahouse, and Sima Gang and Sun Ya also rushed over and got the final version of the script.

"The only obstacle left is the production funding."

After a general glance at the script, Sima Gang put it back on the table and said calmly: "In fact, I have already started the work of costumes and artists before, and I have also started the selection and construction of the exterior scenes, especially the factory at the time of the final battle, which is the top priority of the work." But you have to know that the initial investment has been millions, but it is all Xiaopeng's own money, but the next words ......"

Sima Gang's words were not finished, but the others had already understood what he meant.

Lao Bai is the initiator of this movie, but it does not mean that he will necessarily become a producer, that is, an investor. In fact, Sun Peng has always had a goal, that is, never to invest in his own scripts or ideas.

Of course, this idea never seemed to come true from the day it was born.

Whether it is film or animation, whether domestic or foreign, Sun Peng's own funds always have to participate in the production, especially when the scale of investment is larger. Because Sun Peng did not have enough prestige and appeal at that time, investors could not hesitate to throw money according to his requirements!

But now......

"In terms of funding, it's definitely no problem!"

After a slight groan, Sun Ya spoke: "The name Lao Bai is now a big hit, so there is no need to worry about the source of funds at all." It's just that for the sake of distribution, cooperation familiarity and other considerations, I personally still prefer to choose Forbidden City Pictures and Lotus Pictures. And the scale of the investment this time is not small, both companies have considerable room for investment, and should be able to coexist in this film! ”

In fact, both the Forbidden City and Lotus Pictures are ready.

They have even negotiated with each other the share of investment and the division of future interests, and have also negotiated with Sun Ya for the remuneration of Sun Peng's director, screenwriter and soundtrack, etc., and are waiting for the final script to come out - as for whether to invest in such a small issue, it is not within the scope of consideration of the two companies at all.

"Very well, then give them the script!"

After Sun Peng made the final conclusion in a few words, Sima Gang and Sun Ya quickly got up and left. The former is busy working on the final version of the script so that a new plan can be made as soon as possible; The latter immediately notified the two film companies to finalize the cooperation plan......

"Gentlemen, let's have a drink in the evening?"

After the second sister left, Sun Peng immediately became active, and proposed with great interest: "It can be regarded as to celebrate the completion of our script, and of course it can also be regarded as a mobilization meeting for "League of Assassins", haha!" ”

"Uh, didn't you say that filming won't start until the next year?"

"It's the end of the year, but the preparations must be done in advance!"

Glancing at Wei Xiaolin, Sun Peng smiled and said, "I'm afraid it's going to be hard for the next period of time, Mr. Song and Mr. Han, you two, I still have a lot of troubles here, and I shouldn't have too much time to care about the preparation of the movie for a while...... Ahem, so I'll ask you and Teacher Sima in the early stage. ”

The transformation of the script is done, but the transformation of the little magician is not over yet!

"No problem!"

Hearing Sun Peng say this, the two assistant directors were suddenly a little flattered and expressed their voices, especially Song Qun said gratefully: "Don't worry, Mr. Sun, this matter will be handed over to the two of us, and I promise to give you a beautiful job!" If we are really in trouble, we can also ask Lao Wei to help......"

"Huh? Why did you get me involved again? ”

Hearing Song Qun say this, the smile on Wei Xiaolin's face suddenly froze, and he slapped the table and said urgently: "I've been purely obligated to help these days, why are you still relying on me?" I can tell you, I'm going to continue to work on the late stages of The Matrix, and I don't have that much time to do for you for nothing......"

"Hahaha...... Lao Wei, you are too a chicken thief! ”

Pointing at Wei Xiaolin, Sun Peng laughed.

To be honest, he really likes Wei Xiaolin's casual temperament, but after all, Song Qun and the two of them have just joined in, and the contact time is not too long, so it is understandable to be more restrained.

Seeing the two talking and laughing, a flash of envy flashed in Song Qun's eyes, and then he asked, "Old Wei, is your new movie set?" When do you start preparing? ”

"No, isn't this waiting for him to write a script?"

Shrugging his shoulders, Wei Xiaolin casually pointed at Sun Peng.

"Don't worry, I promised to write it to you!"

With his hands spread, Sun Peng said with a smile: "But what kind of movie you want to make, I haven't figured it out yet, even if I want to write, I can't help it!" ”

Regarding this question, in fact, Sun Peng had already asked Wei Xiaolin several times.

It's just that he thought about it for a long time, and never gave a positive answer, and then he frowned and sighed: "I know, to be honest, I also want to give it as soon as possible, but...... I want to make a real sci-fi film, the question is who is going to give me that much money? ”

“……”

Hearing Wei Xiaolin's words, the others were suddenly silent.

Sun Peng promised to write a script for Wei Xiaolin, and even promised to invest in his new film, and the name Lao Bai was printed on the cover of the script, in fact, even if he went to attract investment himself, it should not be too difficult. But what is said here is not too difficult, referring to the premise that the investment is only tens of millions!

If Wei Xiaolin opened his mouth to be two or three hundred million, I am afraid that even Sun Peng would give him three words......

No way!

It is impossible for any director to control hundreds of millions of investments to shoot the movies he wants to make. Even if Wei Xiaolin's ability had been recognized by Sun Peng, Sun Peng would not have made such a risky decision.

If you want a higher investment, you have to prove yourself first.

So looking at Wei Xiaolin's embarrassed look, Sun Peng raised his eyebrows, and simply smiled: "Otherwise, you will concentrate on the later stage of the Matrix first, and I will choose the type of new film for you?" Promise not to disappoint you......"
