550 The director asked you to save the movie
Chen Yao drove back to Shenzhen City with a population of more than 17 million. This place and his hometown are another world, with tall buildings and traffic flowing more densely.
"Dingling..." As soon as the car drove into the city, the phone ringtone rang.
The mobile phone screen showed "Li Chenguang". As soon as Chen Yao answered the phone, he heard the director's happy voice coming.
"Happy New Year, are you back in Shenzhen?"
Chen Yao said: "I'm back, come to the Note Dance Company. If you have any questions, sit down and talk about it."
I hung up the phone, and about 30 minutes later, the car arrived downstairs of the Note Dance Company.
"Cousin, is this music company yours?" This is the first time Chen Ruoxi has been here.
Lin Yuhan got out of the car and stretched, telling her: "Yes, this company is now the largest music company in China, and many big-name singers gather here."
Chen Ruoxi got out of the car with Li Mengmeng in her arms. Although she was already a mother, her enthusiasm for chasing stars was still like Girls' Generation. She wanted to get close to those kings and queens.
Similarly, Lin Yuhan is also a star-chasing clan, and the two walked quickly towards the building.
"Wow! King Liu!"
When the elevator door opened, Li Mengmeng saw a very handsome man at first sight, Liu Tianlun, a superstar who spans the film and television industry and the music industry.
"Can I take a photo with you?" Chen Ruoxi was particularly excited and took out her cell phone.
"Yes." Liu Tianlun was very generous and stood on her right to take a photo.
The elevator door opened again, Lin Yuhan and Chen Ruoxi walked into the elevator. In addition to Liu Tianlun, there was also an ice cream women's band in the elevator box, and the popular idol handsome man Lin Chenxi.
What is it like to squeeze into an elevator with a group of celebrities?
Anyway, Lin Yuhan and Chen Ruoxi were so excited that their hearts almost jumped out.
However, Chen Yao's face was very calm, the elevator door opened and walked towards his office.
I rarely come here, and the so-called office is more like a lounge. When I open the door, Chen Yao sat down in front of my desk.
After waiting for about 10 minutes, the secretary pushed the door and came in: "Mr. Chen, Director Li is here."
Standing next to the secretary was Li Chenguang wearing black-framed glasses and wearing retro Tang suits, a famous TV series director. As for movies, there were almost no big-selling works.
Chen Yao ordered his secretary to pour him tea: "Director, why did you find me?"
Li Chenguang sat down opposite him and said with a smile: "Is there something wrong with finding you? Can you come to meet you in the New Year?"
They are familiar with each other and have worked together many times, so they are very good friends.
Chen Yao said: "Since we are friends, don't beat around the bush, just say it."
Li Chenguang told his assistant next to him that he took out a file bag from his black briefcase and placed it on the table.
Chen Yao looked puzzled: "What is it?"
"You can open it and take a look."
Open the file bag, and there is a plastic box inside, and then open the plastic box, which contains two DVD CDs.
If you guess correctly, the CD stores movie resources, Chen Yao puts it into the computer's optical drive, and the video playback software immediately pops up on the screen.
This is a movie called "Mysterious Journey".
"This movie was filmed and produced for some reasons, but it was not released." Director Li smiled bitterly.
Chen Yao didn't understand: "Why?"
"You'll know if you play it."
I clicked the mouse and played the movie. At the beginning of the picture, there was a small forest, pitch black and faint moonlight shone.
Grizzly, a black shadow suddenly floated out of the dark cave, stretching out a long tongue, and his face was as ugly as rotten!
Chen Yao's face changed, a horror movie!
He immediately clicked the mouse and paused the playback. He could probably guess why the movie could not be released?
It must be the reason for the subject matter.
Li Chenguang sighed and said, "This movie is a pity.
Submitted to relevant departments for review, but because the movie has too many ghost scenes and is suspected of being superstitious about publicity, I was beaten back."
"I know that this type of subject will be reviewed, but why do I still need to shoot it? Besides, didn't you submit the script before shooting it?"
Director Lee said: "Our script was submitted for review, and the review has been passed before it started filming."
Chen Yao was a little confused. Since the relevant departments have agreed that the script is fine, why did the movie that was made and made into a lot of manpower, material and money cannot be released in the end?
Li Chenguang said slowly in a tone: "The script submitted is quite normal, it is just a costume martial arts drama with a little horror element.
But later, during the shooting process, I couldn’t control it well, and repeatedly modified the script, making the movie more and more terrifying, and too many ghosts were added."
"Director Li, you are a veteran in the film and television industry. How could you make such a low-level mistake?"
"This is not what I mean, it's because investors insist on revising the script, and I can't do anything about it." Li Chenguang felt deeply helpless.
The movie cannot be released, and the losses are not only for investors, but also for director Lee and his team. After the filming of the movie was completed, they have not received any compensation.
Forget about sharing the movie, you have to get at least 8 million yuan in basic rewards.
Chen Yao asked: "Then what do you think now?"
Director Lee said: "There is still a chance to save this movie. As long as you re-edit it, you have a high chance of passing the review, but...
You might as well look at the second CD.”
Chen Yao took out the second CD and put it into the computer optical drive. This step was re-edited, deleted many horror scenes, and made some modifications and arrangements of the plot.
It's really not that scary, but the movie becomes boring because there are too many cuts, which makes people confused.
Even if such a movie is finally passed the review, it will be very dismal.
Li Chenguang expressed his thoughts: "I have played your company's "Wandering Survival" game, and the special effects are really great. It is said that the cost of developing this game is very low. Is it right?"
Chen Yao nodded slightly: "Well, it should be artificial intelligence, and the cost of special effects is indeed much lower."
Li Chenguang said: "I hope your company's team can provide special effects for this movie.
We don’t have high requirements to make its box office less bad, as long as we can barely recover the cost.”
The only thing I think of now is to start with special effects and improve its ornamentality.
But I don’t want to spend too much money. After all, the movie will spend a lot of money on special effects, and it will lose a lot in minutes.
Chapter completed!
