Pei Qian thought about it for a moment, but still felt that he couldn't take this risk.
It is better to fool Feihuang Studio to spend a lot of money, and let them create their own ideas and scripts, so that the probability of losing money is the greatest!
Therefore, Pei Qian avoided talking about Huang Sibo's expectations, leading the topic elsewhere.
"Creativity is such a thing, don't worry."
"Aren't many directors writing scripts on the set?"
"I believe Director Zhu Xiaoce can do it too!"
"The key is that, as a film and television studio that has been established for nine months, it relies on Tengda Group behind it, but it is still entangled in making some short video dramas, making money from Chafan and online stores. Great ambition!"
Huang Sibo opened his mouth and subconsciously wanted to refute.
What's wrong with the establishment of nine months, is nine months a long time?
Many film and television studios have closed in half a year, let alone nine months. Feihuang Studio has been open for nine months now. Although the videos they have made have lost money and made money, most of the responses have been good. ok!
But looking at President Pei opposite, Huang Sibo felt that he was too embarrassed to say these words.
Indeed, think about how many good games Tenda has made in nine months!
Compared with Tengda, the achievements of Feihuang Studio are indeed somewhat insignificant.
No wonder Mr. Pei was disappointed with Feihuang Studio.
Huang Sibo was a little ashamed and said, "Then... Mr. Pei, do you think Feihuang Studio should try to make some official movies?"
Pei Qian nodded: "That's right. The short video has also been filmed, and the documentary has also been filmed. The ability of the director and the staff is no problem. What are you still hesitating about?"
Huang Sibo frowned slightly: "Uh... not enough budget?"
Pei Qian smiled slightly: "If you have a small budget, you can make low-budget movies. If you really lack money, you can ask me directly. What's the big deal?"
Huang Sibo was a little embarrassed: "This... budget is actually only one reason... "
"Mr. Pei, it's not that I'm too conservative. The point is, making short videos and making big movies are not the same thing at all!"
Huang Sibo began to tell Pei Qian about the doorway.
"Mr. Pei's Daily" is only a few minutes long, and "A Day in the Life of a Great Inventor" has increased a lot, but it is only ten minutes, and the longest episode is only half an hour.
But if it is a serious movie, it will take 90 minutes to get theatrical release.
On the surface, it seems that the time is only doubled, but in fact the difference here is too big.
A short video of a few minutes can be pieced together with various funny jokes. The whole story can be messy and scattered, as long as it can make the audience laugh, it is a success.
But for a 90-minute movie, it's never enough to make the audience laugh.
To make an excellent movie, the story must be complete, and the control of the audience's emotions must be in place. The difficulty is much higher than that of short videos.
Just a few jokes can't support the reputation of a big movie at all.
Many big movies made by the popularity of online dramas are popular because the creative team simply does not have the hard power to make big movies well, and they simply understand big movies as "stretched online short dramas", so Just got beaten up.
"So, Mr. Pei, if you want to make a serious movie, the risk is too great!"
"Without full certainty, it's best not to take this risk."
"At least, there must be a good script, right?"
Huang Sibo spoke very seriously.
Pei Qian also fell silent.
It seems that Huang Sibo understands it very well!
But to say that, Pei Qian has to shoot even more!
What President Pei likes is that this thing has a high probability of hitting the street!
Of course, then again, Pei is always a very kind person. Since it is a risky and easy-to-fail thing, Huang Sibo and Zhu Xiaoce must not take the blame for this.
As the saying goes, if I don't go to hell, whoever goes to hell goes to hell.
Of course, President Pei still has to carry this pot himself!
Pei Qian considered for a moment and said, "In this case, the film is funded by Tengda, and I will find a way for the script. You and Director Zhu Xiaoce only need to be responsible for the shooting."
In this way, the movie is on the street, the blame is also on President Pei, and the loss is also Tengda's money, which will not affect the mentality of Feihuang Studio's employees.
Huang Sibo was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said: "Mr. Pei, you misunderstood. I'm not afraid of taking the blame, it's just because... "
Pei Qian smiled and waved: "I understand."
"You are now the CEO of Feihuang Studio. You are responsible for the projects under your control, assessing risks as much as possible and ensuring the profitability of the studio. This is right."
"You can simply take this shooting mission as a training opportunity, and it can also be regarded as paving the way for Feihuang Studio to enter the film and television industry."
Huang Sibo's eyes were wet.
move!
He could see that Mr. Pei was worried that if Feihuang Studio failed, it would damage the confidence of himself and Director Zhu Xiaoce, so he took the initiative to invest and took the risk of failure!
No matter whether the final film is a success or a failure, Feihuang Studio will definitely accumulate a lot of experience in the process of filming and accelerate the growth of the studio.
Huang Sibo had a lot to say, but he felt that it was too outlandish to say too many words of thanks to President Pei.
In the end, a thousand words turned into a thank you.
"Then listen to President Pei's arrangement. Feihuang Studio will cooperate well and successfully complete the shooting task!"
"Also, Mr. Pei. Feihuang Studio can't let you all work in vain. We paid 100,000 to buy your script. It's not much money, but it's also our heart. You must not refuse."
Um? Spend 100,000 for a script
Pei Qian originally said it casually, but when he heard the number of 100,000, he instantly became spiritual.
"OK!"
"I'll give you the first draft of the script in two days!"
And a surprise!
There was a similar show in the filming of "Mr. Pei's Daily" before. Pei Qian played a guest role as an actor, and "I played myself" made a fortune.
And this time, Pei Qian discovered a new way to make money.
Be a screenwriter!
There is a huge gap between the upper and lower price limits of screenwriters in the market. The top screenwriters are paid six figures for one episode, while some new screenwriters may only be paid a few thousand or tens of thousands of dollars for a single episode, and they have to be revised day and night. .
This 100,000 remuneration should be within a reasonable range in the system's judgment, and it does not count as maliciously defrauding system funds.
For Pei Qian, he doesn't need to write the script in much detail, he just needs to provide an idea.
In short, perfect!
The two chatted a few more words, and Huang Sibo got up to leave.
Now that he has decided to officially make a movie, Huang Sibo's work enthusiasm has also been fully mobilized.
After returning to Feihuang Studio, he still has a lot of work to do, and the most important thing is to replenish manpower.
…
After Huang Sibo left, Pei Qian opened the document and started writing the script.
Pei Qian knew nothing about movie scripts.
But since this manuscript is worth 100,000 yuan, it must be properly arranged.
You don't need to play the draft, just open the document and just do it!
"First of all, set the theme!"
Pei Qian typed out the word "science fiction" on the document without hesitation.
Science fiction themes spend a lot of money and are easy to be scolded. It is true that there are many bad movies, which is very consistent with the general direction of the box office.
Choosing a science fiction theme is already half the battle!
Second, is the general outline of the story.
After half an hour.
The document still only has the word "science fiction".
Pei Qian sighed silently, it's broken, he doesn't seem to be this material at all...
What he originally thought was to write a rubbish story that insulted the audience's IQ, but when he really started to write, he realized that it was not so easy to write a rubbish story...
At this time, Pei Qian very much hoped that he could recall the story outlines of those bad films.
Unfortunately, Pei Qian is not actually an avid movie lover, and his experience in reading movies is very shallow.
Moreover, he is very repulsive of bad films, never watching the premiere, and as long as the reputation of the film is low, he will never buy a ticket.
Therefore, Pei Qian couldn't remember the specific plots of those bad films at all, and naturally there was no way to draw materials at this time.
The text on the document is written one line, one line is deleted, and finally there is only the word "science fiction".
Pei Qian scratched his head.
"It's definitely not good to write like this, you have to change your thinking a little bit."
"Well... I can write it in reverse!"
Pei Qian suddenly thought of a good way.
Whether it's filming, writing, or making games, their cores are all the same.
To make a good movie, the most important thing is to determine what the audience likes to watch.
Then on the other hand, if you want to make a movie that hits the streets, you only need to make content that the audience doesn't like to watch, right
The plots of many bad films are very empty and make people sleepy after watching. This is a good idea, but it is not practical.
What troubles Pei Qian now is mainly some specific plots of this movie.
First determine some specific plots, and then pour water into the script, you can achieve the effect of empty, boring and drowsy plots.
So, what kind of plot is annoying
Pei Qian couldn't help but think of a concept in the network.
Poison!
The so-called poisonous spots are some plots that make readers feel uncomfortable. For example, licking a dog is a big poisonous spot.
Thinking of this, Pei Qian wrote a new line below "Science Fiction" with great satisfaction, and wrote: "The male protagonist is a licking dog."
As the saying goes, licking a dog is not good for death.
If the male protagonist succeeds in licking the female protagonist in the end, then the toxicity of the story must be greatly reduced.
So Pei Qian started another line and wrote: "Lick the dog until you have nothing."
After thinking about it, it seems that this plot is not cruel enough.
"The male protagonist is green."
"The child is not his."
"The male protagonist wants to raise this child, but this child hates him very much."
"After a series of blows, the male protagonist collapsed and decided to take revenge on society."
Pei Qian thought about it and felt inappropriate: "...No, the male protagonist can't take revenge on the society, after all, he is a coward."
Pei Qian didn't want to turn this film into a superhero movie, or something like "The Green Hood". If he accidentally goes abroad to win an award, it would be a big deal.
"After a series of blows, the male protagonist collapsed and chose suicide."
Pei Qian still didn't feel very good: "Well... Suicide is a little bit of a plot after all, and it's not right to go down the old path of traditional tragedy."
"The male protagonist spent the rest of his life so suffocating."
Pei Qian thought about it again: "It doesn't seem to be very good, it's a little too bland. It's best to give the hero a little hope at the end of his hardships, and then give him a ruthless stranglehold."
But what kind of little hope was it, and how was it extinguished
Pei Qian has no good ideas for now.
But he is not in a hurry, anyway, this script can be written in two or three days.
Just as he was about to close the document, Pei Qian thought of something, and made the word "science fiction" bold.
Don't forget that this is a science fiction theme.
In order to spend a little more money on props and special effects, the story must reflect some sci-fi elements.
Of course, what kind of sci-fi elements are embodied...
Let's talk tomorrow.
Pei Qian watched the current plot frame from beginning to end with satisfaction, and almost died of poisoning.
Poisonous, absolutely poisonous!
After this set of plots, it can be said that all poisons return to their ancestors, and there are really many poisonous points.
At that time, as long as you enrich the storyline, wrap it in a sci-fi coat, and give the plot a little water...
Just live!
"Hey, I'm really a villain."
Pei Qian felt that he seemed to have a talent for making bad movies!
It's time to get into the film industry sooner!
