Of course, regardless of whether the movie is bad or not, people will pay to buy it.

Pei Liang said: "This time the budget is sufficient, so we won't follow the same path as before."

"I know Director Liu's visual sense is very good, and Editor Feng's ability to control the rhythm of the script. Although there were shortcomings in the previous films, I hope that this time I can use my strengths and avoid weaknesses."

The two of them were shocked. When Li Jian came to them, they had already received a lot of investment, but Pei's 50 million was enough for them to show off their talents.

I thought that someone finally dared to let them do it, but it turned out that their purpose was very clear, and they were trying to save money for them.

The money will be accounted for through crew expenses and post-production publicity, but it will never reach their hands at all. They know full well where it ended up.

But he didn't expect that Pei Liang, who had withdrawn the funds, would have such courage.

Then he asked nervously: "Mr. Liang said so, budget - how much do we have?"

"There are 70 million for now," Pei Liang said.

The 50 million given by Dad Pei has increased in value by 40% under her operation these days.

Director Liu and Editor Feng took a deep breath when they heard this, and then their faces lit up with excitement.

For a comedy, 70 million is considered a large cost to produce. If the actors are not looking for high-priced traffic, it will be even more abundant.

Pei Liang said again: "Go to the casino to take pictures."

"Casino? How many days will the filming take?" the two asked.

"Except for the beginning and end, almost the entire movie takes place in the casino." Pei Liang replied.

No wonder you go to them. If it is a gambling city, the funds will not be abundant at once, but it will still be considered loose, and the other party may be able to attract investment in the future.

The two of them were so busy: "We brothers have no other advantages, but we are very good at controlling costs. We also have a lot of experience shooting in casinos for the last movie, and we have learned the local area thoroughly. We will definitely be able to go there this time with ease."

This is of course the reason why Pei Liang found the two of them.

When Li Jian and the others persuaded Pei's father to invest, they had to come up with a decent plan. They couldn't just say "your daughter is in our hands" and have people pay 50 million at once.

Naturally, the original owner also read the planning document and knew the resumes of the director and screenwriter clearly.

Although the film has undergone a lot of polishing, before the two of them made the film, one was a well-known photographer in the industry and the other was a well-known film critic.

Many of the films that Director Liu has participated in have won awards, and Editor Feng's film reviews are mostly spot-on and highly recognized.

But the two of them may be typical talkative types, but when it was their turn to take action, the results were shocking.

The first work they collaborated on was not unanticipated by the industry. Some of Feng's film critics even claimed that he would be able to write a script that would shock the film industry.

But in the end, although Director Liu is good at camera language, he is not good at controlling the main rhythm of the movie's plot. To put it bluntly, he just can't tell a story.

Although editor Feng is very sharp as a film critic, he is not good at producing complete scripts by himself.

Coupled with the lack of funds, cheap service, and poor actors with poor acting skills, even gods can't save them, not to mention that their own shortcomings are still so obvious.

Once their expectations failed and they became the ridicule of the entire Internet, the two lost all their wealth and both went bankrupt. In order to survive and pay off their debts, they naturally had to put aside their self-esteem and persist in making bad movies, relying on bloody, bloody, meaty, astringent and emotional hype.

Get out of position.

It just so happened that Pei Liang had the ability to coordinate and have a vision. What he needed was a professional photographer, someone with a keen eye for loopholes in the script, and someone with enough connections and experience in building a crew.

Of course, there are also their high quality and low price, their ability to save money, and their experience in shooting in casinos.

Neither Pei Liang nor the original owner has any connections in the film industry in this world. Instead of stumbling to find a team that he doesn't understand, or spending high costs to invest in a large crew that he has no control over -

Then again, given that she is currently at the forefront of the limelight and has numerous enemies in the industry, whether she can squeeze into other people's productions with money is still one thing.

Pei Liang expressed his thoughts tactfully, and the two of them understood immediately.

Pei Liang didn't come to them because of the idea of ​​making quick money in the hype circle. To put it bluntly, he just came to them because of their ready-made team and specific professionalism.

It sounds nice to hire a director and screenwriter, but this movie is obviously producer-centered. The director is a photographer, and the editor is a person who edits the script with the crew.

The excitement on their faces disappeared a bit, but in the past few years, they have encountered a lot of random investors, as well as various laypeople and experts.

He asked, "Mr. Liang, can you show us the script?"

Pei Liang nodded. At this moment, the door to the private room was opened by the waiter, and Fangyuan led a girl in simple clothes and a shy look.

Pei Liang smiled: "Sit!"

After the girl sat down, she introduced to Director Liu and Editor Feng: "This is Miss Yu Yiyu, she is the original author of the movie script."

Yu Yi smiled shyly, opened the document bag he had brought, and handed over the script that had been copied in triplicate.

Pei Liang had already read the script and knew the content well.

If she wants to make a movie, the first step is to choose a suitable script.

As for Pei Liang's vision for selecting films, even if she is an outsider, no one will ever question it.

Because in her previous life, she had personally selected the resources she had given to the pretty boys countless times, perfectly avoiding the pitfalls of being flashy and empty gimmicks, and accurately selecting the ones with excellent production teams, excellent scripts, and directors who could perfectly present them.

s work.

Originally, she helped select resources just to deliver precise gifts to fulfill the rich woman's promise to realize her dream. Later, it developed to the point where even some big boss friends in the entertainment industry would ask her to take a look at serious projects.

Pei Liang has that ability. Even if he is not completely professional, he can still find the right choice through analyzing various data conditions.

This kind of touch is innate, as if it is the essence of a cornucopia.

She didn't have many connections to get good scripts passed to her, so she privately purchased scripts from new screenwriters from major universities, as well as any unseen fish on the original novel platform that had the potential to make a difference.

As a result, she was able to identify a very feasible script at a glance.

So she immediately contacted Yu Yi, the author of the original novel. When she learned that he was a screenwriter, he asked her to adapt it on the spot, and quickly signed a copyright contract with the platform and bought the work.

Because this novel is a group portrait novel that is not popular among online readers nowadays, the results of the novel are not ideal.

Yu Yi herself was unknown in the editorial circle. She didn't expect that something good would happen suddenly, and the other party didn't offer a low price just because she was a newcomer.

He even actively asked her to join the film's screenwriting team and promised to give her a certain say.

It’s every author’s dream to have his or her hard work recognized by the producers, or even participate in the production. Yu Yi was so excited that he couldn’t sleep in the past few days.

Even the editor in charge of her sighed: "You are really lucky."

Here, Pei Liang and Yu Yi were chatting. Director Liu and Editor Feng had already gone over the script.

They didn't have high hopes for this at first, but not long after opening the script, their eyes became brighter and brighter.

The script is called [The Missing Bride]. (Note: The prototype is based on the American movie [The Hangover])

The story is about a group of four best friends who lived in the same dormitory in college. The youngest among them immigrated to country x and got married next week.

The other three were invited to fly to the casino to attend the wedding. The night before the wedding, the four decided to indulge wildly to celebrate the youngest's last single night.

As a result, after a night of partying, the three of them woke up in the presidential suite with a mess on the floor.

A handsome, sexy, naked man wearing only shorts gave the eldest of the four sisters a deep kiss, then said a few words of unknown meaning and left.

The second child went to the bathroom and found a tiger locked in the bathroom.

The three of them screamed and closed the bathroom door, and went to wake the bride up in panic, only to find that the person lying on the bed was not the bride at all, but a lifeless corpse.

But the real bride was lost.

Seeing that the wedding was less than twenty-four hours away, they had to find the bride and take her to the wedding venue.

At the same time, they have to figure out what happened last night, cover up the body to avoid being discovered, and figure out whether they committed murder or not.

In this way, the journey of following the clues to find out the truth behind last night's fragments begins.

The whole process was full of laughter, and the more I checked, the more I was shocked by their craziness and boldness last night.

Among them, the boss is a celibate career elite, the most self-disciplined, and always has a condescending and preaching attitude towards the other three.

When I traced my memory, I discovered that she was the craziest one. The naked guy in the morning was not a stripper who got drunk to entertain her, but the man who had a formal wedding with her last night under the witness of the church priest.

New husband.

Even she, who had always claimed that she didn't even know how to tattoo eyebrows, and the man frantically tattooed each other's names on the private parts of their thighs.

The second child's character is a guy who loves being cheated on. Ever since he fell in love early in junior high school, he has either been cheated on or is on the way to being cheated on.

But last night, she transformed into Neptune, killed one person in ten steps, and flirted with eight men in a row in the casino. In the end, the eight men fought for her. Because several of them belonged to different local gangs, it ended up causing a big fight between the gangs in the casino, and even death.

Got people.

The body on the bed was one of them.

The third child is an online novel author. In real life, he is submissive, but he has a lot of pornographic reputations on the Internet.

A person who usually wouldn't even dare to look at a man, under the influence of alcohol and drugs, did what she did. Long afterward, there were legends of a female, pervert, and demon circulating in the casino. She also stole the tiger in the bathroom, and

The pet of the mafia boss who was almost killed by poisonous claws.

This script had a mediocre response in the online novel market, but Pei Liang and Director Liu both knew that these scenes and jokes were simply not suitable for presentation on paper.

Rather, it is suitable to be presented on the big screen, reflected in the direct impact of the picture, the body language of the actors, and the exciting and refreshing rhythm.

Director Liu conceived the layout of several important scenes on the spot after reading it, and Director Feng also immediately pointed out the problems with rhythm connection and lines in the script.

"Outsiders think that comedy movies are just about shouting and going crazy. In fact, this is not the case. Comedy movies often pay more attention to the exquisiteness of the lines. Many of the widely circulated lines are not accidental."

Just like a masterpiece by a certain comedy star, almost every line in it is a popular Internet slang.
