Entertainment Empire

This "Nightclub" script was very interesting. Luo Xun laughed at it several times. No wonder Xu Zheng would take the initiative to recommend it to him. This future entertainment industry boss has such a keen sense of drama——

Luo Xun is optimistic about this script.

So before he finished reading the script, Luo Xun directly replied to Xu Zheng saying that he could invest in the movie, which made Xu Zheng overjoyed: "I will ask Yang Qing to call you now. If you have any requirements, you can contact him directly." explain!"

Luo Xun agreed.

Not long after, a strange call came in, and a slightly anxious voice came from the other side: "Hello, is this Teacher Luo Xun? My name is Yang Qing. Brother Zheng asked me to call you."

"Hello."

Luo Xun smiled and said: "Your script is very interesting. I plan to invest in it. There is a role in it. You should have prepared it for Xu Zheng. I have to thank you for giving me the opportunity to work with him again."

"You're welcome!"

It was probably the first time for Yang Qing to contact a top celebrity like Luo Xun, so he seemed to be inarticulate. However, Luo Xun was quite good at dealing with people. A few words made Yang Qing relax a lot, and he even made an appointment. We will meet to discuss more details when we have time.

After hanging up the phone.

Luo Xun's smile became even brighter.

Many people may not know that Xu Zheng has a very good relationship with Yang Qing. In his previous life, Xu Zheng invited Yang Qing to co-produce the second part of "The Road to Misfortune".

previous life.

The first film, "Unfortunately," received a very good response and led the summer season of that year. Small-cost commercial films became the entry point for many young film creators because of their relatively fixed genres and clear audience positioning.

Xu Zheng is also one of them.

Out of friendship, Yang Qing decided to fully assist Xu Zheng in writing the script for the second part of "On the Road". He said in an interview: "Even though it was not my favorite story at the time, I was willing to do it for my friends." thing."

Then the two of them started working together.

It took several months to write the outline of the script, but there was a conceptual conflict with the copyright owner of "Journey to the Road 2", and as a result, they were dragged into a long-term copyright dispute. Both parties were consuming each other in the entanglement.

Copyright issues are annoying.

I have been struggling for several months with no solution.

That winter, Yang Qing and Xu Zheng sat in a cafe and smoked every day, talking about where to go in the future. Yang Qing himself even wanted to withdraw from the project, but he couldn't say anything to Xu Zheng.

later.

Yang Qing proposed the idea of ​​"changing a story and shooting it in Thailand." He discussed this idea with everyone involved, including producers and bosses, but no one supported him. It seemed that only he and Xu Zheng could see this project. The prospect, and then he made countless attempts to persuade. After a long process, the idea was finally approved by the company, but then it once again reached a stalemate on personnel and budget issues. This shows how difficult it is for a movie to be formed, even that one. The movie is actually excellent.

The long period of consumption frustrated Yang Qing.

He collected a lot of information about Thailand for Xu Zheng, named "Thailand", and then sent an email to Xu Zheng. In the email, he wrote seriously, "Brother Zheng, I quit, you go to film "Thailand". "Thailand", this is the movie you have always wanted to make, but it is not the movie I have always wanted to make. I can only accompany you here, and you can walk the rest of the way by yourself."

…

Yang Qing ultimately did not participate in the filming of "囧囧", but the formation of this movie was inseparable from him, and it was the later "Hot Pot Hero" that really made Yang Qing famous.

Although the movie wasn't too popular.

But Luo Xun always believes that this is an undervalued work. The box office of several hundred million is almost meaningless in terms of the quality of the film. However, considering that the film itself has such distinctive characteristics, it is not incomprehensible to the niche audience. Moreover, a box office of several hundred million is not too popular, but it is definitely not related to the difference. At least it was worthy of a buzz in the year of release.

So many memories.

In fact, the biggest reason is that Luo Xun wants to sign Yang Qing to his studio. He can not only sign artists, but also directors. Yang Qing has no works of his own yet. Signing him at this time will definitely make a huge profit, not to mention With Yang Qing here, it will be easier for Luo Xun to collaborate with Xu Zheng on the famous "Thailand".

As for "Night Club".

It is unrealistic to expect a small-budget movie like this to be a big hit. "Crazy Stone" is already a textbook-level low-budget counterattack. If such an example only happens once, it is already a miracle, but just making a small profit should not be a problem. Not big!

Luo Xun considered participating in the film himself.

But after thinking about it in the end, I felt that I might not have the time, and besides, I have a newcomer who is waiting for support, so I might as well let the newcomer Yu Xiang participate in this drama. Working with Xu Zheng and Yang Qing would be a good springboard. .

Much luckier than before.

This is related to the fact that after Luo Xun read the script, he felt that Yu Xiang was quite suitable for a certain character in the script. Although he didn't value this investment very much, he still had to make money if he could make money. He couldn't let the movie flop because of his random casting of actors.

Later words.

If Yang Qing is successfully captured, Luo Xun can consider making "Hot Pot Hero" in advance. Luo Xun still has an impression of the plot outline of this movie, and he can also consider participating in it. After filling some plot bugs, it may make Is this work more lively than the previous one?

Even if the result is not.

It's not too far off.

As for the investment money, Luo Xun can still take it out. For a movie like "Nightclub", five or six million is enough, unless Luo Xun invites some big names to star in it. But the question is who would find a bunch of big names to shoot a low-budget movie?

It's unrealistic.

It's not like this in the previous life. The movie "Pancake Man" has a bit of this idea, but it seems that big names were invited to make cameos, which is a bit like a one-time deal. Anyway, Luo Xun doesn't plan to play such a trick.

So.

The money he made from investing in "Nirvana in Fire" alone is enough for Luo Xun to invest in a low-budget movie. If he wants to play bigger, he can even invest up to 10 million. It depends on the specific situation. Now Luo Xun only plans to invest 5 million, unless he sees greater potential in this movie.

Then.

Luo Xun calculated the recording time that "Training Camp" would take later, and wondered when the movie should start shooting. This time he wanted to hold a position in the movie and learn more about making movies.

Acting well and singing well?

There is also the option of becoming a director if you are a good actor.

However, there is no shortcut to becoming a director if you are a good actor. Luo Xun must learn things down to earth. This requires a long-term accumulation process, and it is not something that can be suddenly realized after one or two plays.
