full-level director

Cameron has a movie with billions of dollars at the box office, and he is the king of the world!Now Lin Juan's combined box office is close to 200 billion US dollars. He is the most watched director in the world. It's as simple as that, but with such a benchmark here, which of these domestic directors does not want to prove that he can surpass him?Who isn't competitive yet?

In the past, it could be said that Hollywood is well-developed and started early, and we can't match it. Now that Lin Juan has come out, what excuse is there?The vast market has also opened up, and admiration is all admiration. In such a big era, who doesn't want to be coquettish?How can a man admit defeat?Especially those guys who are in the early days, how can they not have a little pride in their hearts.

"Director Lin, come on, I'll toast you, I really admire you, Director Lin deserves credit for such a good situation in domestic movies."

On the wine table, bald-headed Xu Zheng held up his glass and respected Lin Juan with admiration on his face. Admiration is true admiration. The figure of 200 billion US dollars is really powerless, but this means that he feels that he is not as good as he is.

He was also a box office champion in China and a man who set records. He even had a competitive heart and wanted to hold back a movie that broke the box office record of Lin Juan's "Alliance".

This kind of passion with opponents and goals is exciting.

Lin Juan picked up the juice and said with a smile, "Excuse me."

He said he couldn't drink at the beginning, and almost everyone in the circle knew about it, so no one forced him.

After drinking for three rounds, Huang Bo was the first to talk about the topic, and said with a smile: "As a representative of this summit, I really don't know what to say. The country is preparing to further standardize the film and television industry depending on the situation. Director Lin, are you going to Any suggestions?"

This is also one of the reasons why they asked Lin Juan to come out. Regardless of whether he admits it or not, Lin Juan is already the most influential person in the Chinese film industry. He doesn't need to be in a group, because everyone is watching his every move and learning from him. Getting closer may not be the leader, but the weight is definitely not light.

They also wanted to find out what Lin Juan planned to say at the summit. His words must carry a lot of weight.

Following Huang Bo's inquiry, the private room fell silent, and Ning Hao and Xu Zheng also looked at Lin Juan. Facing the gaze of the three of them, Lin Juan pondered for a while and said, "I have some ideas, and I don't know if it will work or not." suitable."

"Hey, we're just asking for opinions. Whether it's suitable or not is up to the higher-ups to consider, right? Director Lin, you can just say, we'll help the staff, the three cobblers will choose Zhuge Liang, right?" Huang Bo smiled. He said, anyway, what he said made the atmosphere more active, and Ning Hao and the two also echoed, Lin Juan no longer hesitated, and said with a smile: "That's right, I think there is something wrong in our country's film industry. There are many places where the connection is not smooth, the most important part of which is the script."

As soon as Lin Juan finished speaking, everyone present thought deeply. All three of them had been directors, so of course they had some thoughts on this point. After Lin Juan said it, they had some vague ideas.

"That's right. When we are filming, we must first have a good script." Xu Zheng agreed, and Ning Hao nodded and said: "This is so right. Sometimes I can't find a satisfactory script for several years."

This is not an isolated phenomenon. Many directors often stay silent for several years. It is nothing but that they can’t find a satisfactory script. In the end, they often choose a script that is not so unpleasant to shoot for dinner. Why do many directors Said that there are only one or two movies in the masterpiece of a lifetime?

It's the script!And a good script will make the director put in his heart and soul. The script that is purely for work will also put his heart and soul into it, but the feeling is different. When a girl is dating, she still depends on the appearance of the partner to determine the degree of make-up, right?That's what I mean.

"Director Lin, what are you going to do? There's nothing you can do about the script." Xu Zheng also asked.

The directors in the circle either accept the scripts handed over by the company, or ask familiar screenwriters to help them write the scripts. The sources of scripts are limited.

"This has to be solved from two aspects. First, the state must relax some review standards, otherwise it will be knocked out if you write anything casually. Second, this may require these companies and directors in the circle. Come out."

"You may also know the way of life of screenwriters. First of all, the status is low, the income is meager, and the entry threshold is still high. Some excellent screenwriters can't use their ideas at will, and what they write may be rejected by their mentors or It's the superior or someone who is infringing on the copyright, and the new screenwriter has no channel to deliver his work to those who need it." Lin Juan asked several more realistic questions in succession, and the three of them nodded while thinking.

In fact, what Lin Juan said is not complicated, and almost everyone in the circle knows it, but so what?They never discussed these issues before, and they didn't even think deeply about the screenwriting issue. Even if they thought about it, they just thought about it, sighed and then forgot, otherwise, what can they do?They have a lot of problems of their own.

But now Lin Juan has brought up this issue, which means that he is ready to solve this issue, which is the most important thing.

"I don't believe that we are such a big country with so many people. There are no good screenwriters in it. It's like online literature. Why did it develop so well? It's because the barriers to entry are low, and the things you write are open to the public. If you write well, there will be a way out. Countless ideas collide, golden ideas emerge one after another, time travel, rebirth, oriental fantasy, cultivation of immortality, these elements are all adopted by our film and television industry in recent years, and web texts have replaced screenwriters as the rear of the film and television industry, so we want to build a platform for Directors can directly see the channel of excellent scripts."

"Internet texts have their limitations. It can be adapted into TV dramas, but there are too few suitable ones for movies."

It is well-founded, and what Lin Juan said convinced the three of them. Think about it, if the restrictions are relaxed in this regard, how many elements will Huaxia Land have that can be made into a movie?Let go of the limitations of imagination and provide direct access to producers. How many excellent works will emerge by then?

Ning Hao couldn't help but asked solemnly: "What are you going to do? You say it, and if you think it's appropriate, we will help you talk about it when the time comes."

Lin Juan looked at the three of them, and said solemnly: "Let's come forward and cooperate with the official to build a screenwriting platform only for people in the industry."

Chapter 594 Preparations for "Alliance II" Begin

"Director Lin, if you think that my old Huang's acting skills are not bad, you can ask me to cooperate with you whenever you have a chance, hehe."

After drinking and eating for two hours, the four of them chatted in full swing. Now that the show was about to end, Huang Bo's face was a little red after drinking, and he joked with Lin Juan at this time.

In the same way, if Liu Xing said it, it must be careless, but for Huang Bo, a man in his 40s, it is very comfortable. Lin Juan also said with a smile: "That's for sure, when I really have time to shoot The idea of ​​a comedy, if it is suitable, I must invite Teacher Huang to come."

He is always big on meat and fish, and occasionally Lin Juan wants to eat some green vegetables. For him, making comedies is a way to relax.

"It's best, you can take me with you. I think my comedy performance is okay." Xu Zheng interjected and joked, he was really joking, and he was very relaxed in mind. Tired of shooting under his own hands, he prefers to shoot by himself. Anyway, now that Huaxia has opened up a lot of channels around the world, it is a good time to play.

Compared with Huang Bo, Xu Zheng is no longer such a pure actor. He said this more to adjust the atmosphere and make Huang Bo less embarrassed.

After laughing, Ning Hao asked: "Director Lin, is your "League II" filming about to start?"

"Just getting ready for the preparations, it won't start until next year." Lin Juan said with a smile.

"Then I wish Director Lin the best of luck in the filming. Let me know in private when the movie is scheduled so that I can stay away. Don't worry, I won't talk nonsense." Ning Hao stretched out his hand and said with a smile, this is to say goodbye Yes, Lin Juan shook his head amusedly, thinking he was joking, stretched out his hand to hold him, nodded and said, "Let's talk about it later, maybe I will avoid you, okay, go slowly."

"Well, see you soon."

"it is good."

Looking at the backs of them leaving, Lin Juan let out a sigh of relief, and then burst out laughing. Who would have thought that the little director who had brain problems a few years ago and came to sell movies with a broken laptop on his back would now start to work for him? Are you worried about the development of China's film industry?

Forget it, don't think about it, let's go home and hug your wife, play with her, isn't he sweet?

……

"Aunt Lan, regarding the North American distribution of "Alliance [-]", should we distribute it ourselves or cooperate with a company over there?"

On October [-]th, Lin Juan asked in Li Lan's office that he was going to start preparations for "Alliance [-]".

"What's the matter? This will be decided at a meeting. Our company's distribution system in North America is not yet perfect. If we release a film of the scale of "Alliance II" independently, we will suffer certain losses. Although we can use this to expand channels, it is also necessary There will be a risk of further stimulating Hollywood companies." Li Lan said in a deep voice.

Of course, it is not afraid if it is the stage of war, but now a tacit agreement has been reached. The sites outside of Hollywood will use their own means. If it is really exciting, it will not be a good thing for anyone, and the loss will be too great.

"Okay, let's make sure as soon as possible, we can also borrow their power for this shooting, the scale of this shooting is huge." Lin Juan said with a frown.

"How big? How much do you plan to invest?" Li Lan couldn't help asking, even Lin Juan said the huge scale, she was a little scared.

"The investment is about [-] million U.S. dollars. Both the American side and the Tianhai side will be filmed, mainly because there are more scenes."

"Hiss~" Li Lan took a deep breath, but felt relieved. This feeling was very contradictory, such a large number, but because it was Lin Juan who said it, it felt okay.

Although Lin Juan's words were rather vague, she did the math casually. The total investment of this drama plus the promotional expenses at that time must reach at least 20 million US dollars, more than [-] billion RMB!

What is this for?This is throwing money, why can't more than 20 billion yuan make money?Isn't it good to invest in real estate?

This investment directly broke the investment record of Huaxia Films, not to mention the [-] million US dollars that Lin Juan requested for the filming. He is known as a financial director. If it was another director, would [-] million US dollars be enough?

It's really just that Lin is tired. If another director wants this investment, you can see if Li Lan will slap him.

you are dreaming?

But thinking about the global box office of "Alliance One" with a global box office of 20 billion US dollars, it seems that it is not unacceptable.

"It's okay, okay, I thought you wanted [-] million dollars." Li Lan shook her head and said, Lin Juan couldn't help but look weird, why did you say it's okay while gasping...

Well, in fact, he can understand Li Lan's complicated mood. He couldn't help but smile. Li Lan rolled his eyes at him and said, "Okay, I understand. Let's sign the contract later."

"Well, by the way, Aunt Lan, I plan to let Downey and the others invest some shares in this drama, about 15.00% of the shares." Lin Juan said.
