Lu Beijing also admitted that this is a simple and good script.
It’s not that a good script must be complicated. Things that are too complicated are actually not suitable to be shown in a two-hour movie. Due to time constraints, the logic of the movie should be as simple and easy to understand as possible. The lower the viewing threshold, the better.
The more the audience can relate to, the better.
This movie script called "My Dog" meets this condition, and it has three lines that can be explored.
The first is the emotional line between the female college student and the instructor. It is emotion rather than love.
The second is the liberation of universities and the People's Liberation Army.
The third is a dog.
How to interpret and explore these three lines can be refined by the characteristics of the director and actors, but in general, this is a youthful, righteous, and cute movie with a very wide audience, and it is almost impossible to
Something went wrong!
For this kind of subject, even if a dog is put behind a camera, it won't be photographed badly.
Lu Beijing could completely understand why Liang Ping immediately had the idea of grabbing the script as soon as he saw it, and Lu Lu also immediately decided to invest in the project after reading it.
Moreover, it requires very few scenes, there will be no scenes with big special effects, and the investment will be relatively simple.
Lu Beijing thought for a while and asked Lulu to ask Niu Lanshan if he was interested in investing.
Lulu: "Is it appropriate to let him in?"
Investors in "The Legend of King Wu" are looking forward to their new book.
Lu Beijing: "Both sides can test it out. Whichever side gives us more power, we will focus more on it. The investment pressure on this movie is small, so we can be more free."
As time went by, Lu Beijing became more and more "independent". He no longer wanted to return to a controlled environment, and he became more and more accustomed to speaking out on projects.
In this case, it is certainly impossible for him to bind an investor. Now that Niu Lanshan wants to join the circle, he will not compete with him for the right to speak.
As for the one who has already invested in "The Legend of King Wu" and "Summer", even when watching these two movies, Lu Beijing has to be more polite to the other party and give up more rights.
Therefore, Lu Beijing tends to find new people to join the game this time, and Niu Lanshan is one of them.
The only thing they don't doubt about this movie, which currently doesn't even have a script, is the heroine.
Willow reed.
She was flattered.
Still a little guilty.
Because she hasn't signed to Lu Beijing's company yet.
"Play it for me?" she asked.
Lu Lu was funny: "If I don't give it to you, who will I give it to?"
Lu Beijing also asked with his eyes: Is there something wrong with your brain?
The reactions of these two people made her feel particularly reassured.
Lulu was very busy and left as soon as she finished speaking.
Lu Beijing and Liu Wei were left. They were no different from when Lu Lu came in just now. They still occupied one sofa each.
But Liu Wei could no longer see it.
She found out that this script had an original novel, so she placed an order on Dangdang and it was delivered tomorrow.
She put down the tablet, went outside for a walk, brought back two popsicles, and used the popsicles as a topic.
Liu Wei handed out the popsicle: "Here."
Lu Beijing is a person who can neither eat nor drink when he is in a trance, but he also has good living habits, that is, he will definitely eat whatever is given to him and will never waste food.
So even though he didn't want to eat it, he took it, opened the package and took a bite.
Liu Wei sat down and they were both nibbling popsicles, just like before, but the atmosphere was different.
The pressure began to build.
Lu Beijing is very sensitive to pressure.
He couldn't ignore it.
He put down the tablet and stared at the nervous Liu Wei slightly unhappily.
Liu Wei didn't know how to speak.
Because she took off Lu Beijing's mask of being a "good senior", Brother Lu faced her calmly without any hesitation.
Only now did she realize that being a "good senior" was really important. If Lu Beijing was still a "good senior", then she could speak boldly now.
——Brother Lu, thank you for taking such good care of me. You also let me play the heroine in the new movie. Regarding the contract that Brother Da Lu wanted me to sign...
——Don’t worry about it, just finish filming the movie. “Good senior” said so.
Now, if Brother Lu says to reveal his face, he will reveal his face and treat her sincerely, so should she also be more sincere...
Liu Wei, who had little understanding of human nature, said bluntly: "Brother Lu, the contract that Brother Dalu asked me to sign..."
Lu Beijing looked at her: "You still don't want to sign? Why? Is it because the company's conditions are not good?"
Liu Wei took a big bite of the popsicle and used the thing in her mouth to calm herself down. She said, "No, I just think it's good to be like this now."
Lu Beijing said bluntly: "You feel good because the company treats you well. The company treats you well because the company treats you as one of its own. If you are not one of its own, the company will not treat you well."
Liuwei can’t eat any more of Liuwei’s popsicles.
Lu Beijing did not pursue the victory and said, "It's okay if you don't want to sign. Don't be so embarrassed."
So will she still be filmed for "Love Dog"?
Liu Wei really couldn't ask.
Although the relationship between the two was still the same as before, it seemed to be different. I wonder if she was the only one who felt awkward.
Winter has arrived.
The temperature drops rapidly, and the cold wind from Siberia is like a knife, making people unable to find their way around. When outdoors, they feel that their noses and ears are no longer their own.
Lu Beijing found Lu Lu and asked him to re-plan Liu Wei's publicity direction.
Lulu: "Re-plan? What do you plan to make her into?"
Liu Wei actually doesn't really have an image of his own yet.
First of all, she has a lot of problems, whether it's family relationships or academic qualifications, which are all problematic.
Secondly, she doesn't have a good role yet.
The image established by young actresses at the beginning of their career will follow them for at least most of their lives. First love, girl leader, sweet girl, tomboy, etc. Actresses with outstanding image and personal temperament do not have to fight for it themselves, the audience will automatically support her.
Qualitatively, the company or the team will just provide some guidance, and the rest of the actresses will have to compete for similar titles on their own. Play a similar role, take more candid photos, and be praised by the trolls for ten years, and that will be enough.
But whether the audience recognizes it or not is another matter.
Liu Wei's advantage is that she is good-looking, good-looking, and can play Jiang Ji without being offensive.
But because the historical figure Jiang Ji was joked about in "The Legend of King Wu", she was destined not to use "Jiang Ji" as her image.
The ending of "Summer" is not good, and it is difficult to market image titles such as First Love and Girl Leader.
Therefore, after Lu Lu saw "Love Dog", she felt that this was the most suitable script for Liu Wei. After she acted in it, it would be finalized, and with this, she could at least ensure that she would be successful until she was forty years old.
You can pass the marketing test - as long as your face doesn't collapse.
Lu Beijing: "Highlight your kindness to her."
Lulu raised her head and understood.
Brother Lu was dissatisfied with Liu Wei's delay in signing the contract.
In fact, Lu Lu also felt that it was unreasonable for Liu Wei not to sign the contract at this time. They have already collaborated on two movies, and a third movie specially prepared for her is already in preparation. They have always considered her as one of their own.
Lulu: "You asked her about the contract? She still doesn't want to sign it?"
Lu Beijing: "She said she thinks it's good now." He felt that Liu Wei was being a bit arrogant when she said that at this time, and wasn't taking advantage enough.
Lu Lu thought for a while and said, "That's not necessarily what she meant. Sisi's character is very obvious, a bit passive, and she can't move without pushing. And she has not said she has any desire for this circle until now.
"
Working seriously does not mean that you like to work, it may just be that people are serious by nature.
There is insufficient subjective motivation. Once pressure is applied, the opponent is likely to run away.
Lu Lu: "The purpose is to sign people back, right? Isn't it to alienate people?"
Lu Beijing nodded.
Lu Lu: "Leave it to me then. I'll persuade her and explain things clearly to her. We'll still buy the script. Anyway, we can put it aside after we buy it."
Lu Lu: "The contract conditions are still the same as before?"
Lu Beijing thought for a moment and said, "You can't give her too much money. If you give her too much money at the beginning, she might simply become lazy."
Lulu: "What should I say? Give her dividends?"
Lu Beijing: "No. After she signs the contract, within ten years I will guarantee that she will star in three films with an investment of more than one billion yuan, or be selected for an international film festival. Ten years later, I will be responsible for helping her invest in her personal studio."
Lulu felt that 80% of the people in the circle would agree to this condition, but there was always a chance.
"What if she doesn't want to have a personal studio?"
Lu Beijing: "Then her personal studio can be under the name of the company, and she doesn't have to take care of anything. She can do whatever she wants, whether she wants to participate in variety shows, act in movies, act in TV series, or shoot commercials, I will take care of it for her.
She can just lie down and make money."
Translated: You stay with me for ten years, and I will support you for a lifetime.
As long as Liu Wei listens to his advice and makes movies in these ten years, in ten years, she can be independent if she wants to be independent. If she doesn't want to be independent, she can depend on Lu Beijing for the rest of her life.
Compared with this contract, this one is obviously looser and more lucrative.
The only thing that remains unchanged is that Lu Beijing wants to occupy Liu Wei's youngest and most energetic ten years of youth.
