Chapter 60 Are you trying to play me to death?
Think boldly, it's okay. Lin Dong's eyes were full of encouragement.
I want to make a commercial blockbuster and break the domestic box office record. Du Qixi was very shameless, but when he said this, his old face was also steaming.
Are you trying to play me dead?
Lin Dong couldn't believe his ears.
The crouching dragon and phoenix chick whom he trusted so much actually had a plan to kill him.
If you really break the box office record, I will lose all the money you make.
When I lose enough money to go home, my grandson may already know how to make soy sauce.
Brother Qixi, you can't think like this! Lin Dong hurriedly brainwashed before it was too late.
Why, do you think I have no hope of breaking the domestic box office record at all? Du Qixi was very disappointed. Although he also felt that he had no hope, but hearing Lin Dong say this with his own ears, he still felt a heart-wrenching coldness. .
No, no, Brother Qixi, I think you can, but I don't think you can. Lin Dong hurried.
Why?
Confused, completely confused.
Brother Qixi, as filmmakers, what do you think is our responsibility?
We...are still responsible?
Of course there is. Movies should not only entertain the public, but also educate all beings, promote truth, goodness and beauty, criticize falsehood, evil and ugliness, and arouse people's thinking about deep-seated issues...
I've already graduated.
But Du Qixi seemed to be back in the university classroom.
Straight to the heart!
Shocking!
It turns out that our President Lin is so lofty in his heart.
I am a majestic crouching dragon and phoenix chick, but I didn't keep up.
So, I think you should make a literary film! Lin Dong punched his heart again.
Art films……
This is a little different from what I thought.
You have to express something deep and inspire people, Lin Dong patted his thigh and said, I'll give you 50 million, no, 80 million, and you go make a literary film.
Eight...eighty million!? Du Qixi not only became a repeater, he has already stuck it.
What kind of literary film needs 80 million yuan, and even 8 million yuan is not enough, okay?
What, no confidence?
It shouldn't be, isn't this buddy a pig who can boast to the sky?
Yes, there must be, Mr. Lin, don't worry, I will collect the script immediately, and then find a group of old actors, I will definitely make the movie for you, even if it is a literary film, I will go to hit the box office record of domestic movies ...
If the plane can open the window, Lin Dong would like to throw this thing out.
Why are you talking endlessly about box office records? You didn't hear what I told you before, did you? Do we seem to be short of money?
We don't look like each other, but Mr. Lin, you kinda do.
What do you mean this is?
Mr. Lin, look at you. You live in a small shabby house, and you wear clothes that cost tens of dollars. Everyone in the company is gossiping about you selling your blood to start a business.
Where are you going, don't talk nonsense, if I have no money, can I rent such a good apartment for you?
What is selling blood?
Is it because you can't get fat just by eating?
And isn't it the rich second generation who failed in self-improvement and had no choice but to inherit the family business?
Boss Lin, then I won't pursue the box office. I'll find more veteran actors, and strive to make movies with depth and connotation. Du Qixi finally decided to break up with the box office.
Old drama?
Lin Dong was taken aback in horror. With the addition of old dramas and literary films, even if they don't make much money, it will be very difficult to lose money.
Brother Qixi, let's continue talking about the responsibilities of filmmakers.
ah?
Before we talked about the responsibility of filmmakers to society, do you know what responsibilities filmmakers have to actors?
Boss Lin, please tell me.
Listening attentively, Du Qixi almost took out his notebook to take notes.
It's a pity that the third fat man didn't have the opportunity to listen to the teachings in front of the lord.
An excellent actor does not appear for nothing. He has to go through the tempering of various works. You look for old drama talents, he finds old drama talents, and everyone finds old drama talents. To shoot or not to shoot.
Lin Dong feels that this is the most powerful skill he has learned in the past half a year.
Fudge!
What a fool!
Then what do you mean? Du Qixi suddenly became enlightened.
You've actually figured it out, brother Qixi, you have a heavy burden on your shoulders. Lin Dong patted Du Qixi's shoulder, and there was no need to say the rest, he fell asleep peacefully.
Du Qixi secretly made up his mind.
After returning, he became the busiest person.
Not only do they have to work with Yang Lu and learn film-related knowledge, but they also held a big call for scripts.
In the end, from the old man Qi Yingzhuo, he got the script that he felt the most in-depth.
The audience may not know Qi Yingzhuo, but in the screenwriting circle, he is definitely known.
He has cooperated with many great directors and created countless scripts in his life.
What makes people talk about the most is actually the subject matter that this geek old man dabbles in.
It is not a simple broad generalization.
Let's put it this way.
In his seventies, he wrote a campus youth idol drama, which sold well.
Du Qixi paid a high price of three million for this book.
Mr. Qi Yingzhuo donated it to the Children's Disease Prevention and Control Fund.
I wrote it more than ten years ago.
No one ever asked for it.
I just can't figure it out, there are still people who want this broken book.
He also told me that he graduated from Beijing Film Academy, hahaha. The old man in his seventies was drinking and bragging with his friends, smiling like a fool.
And Du Qixi also showed it to Lin Dong.
Does Mr. Qi Yingzhuo know?
This is his best work. It has been brewing for more than ten years, but he has not met a suitable director so far.
Three million, I was so distressed that I shed tears, but after reading the book, I think everything is worth it.
Lin Dong was wearing a Jinyiwei costume, holding two sharp knives in his hands.
I can't wait to cut off my left and right arms.
If it goes on like this, I feel that 80 million won't be paid out.
You are still not my little padded jacket.
However, after he read the script, his heart settled down.
Then there is self-blame.
How could he not believe in Crouching Dragon and Phoenix Young? He even said that the script was good.
How could this script get any better.
In the beginning there were four criminals.
They were chatting in a small shabby room, explaining how they got in.
Yo, I also played multi-line narrative.
Come on, Brother Qixi, I like you.
No matter who says your play is not good, I will support you.
You do it boldly, and shoot with confidence.
Even if you lose money, let's treat it as tuition fees. I believe you will be able to break the movie box office record in the future.
After turning a few pages, Lin Dong threw the notebook back to Du Qixi.
Steady!
