I Really Didn’t Want to Be Famous

Since the success of "This Man From Earth", Huaxin Brothers has gradually fallen into silence.

Forex Club conscientiously helped Lu Yuan take care of the company, gathering some recent developments and arrangements of the company every other week.

In the past six months or so, the company has basically acted as an agent for some Chinese word-of-mouth literary films and some action films.

Although there is no good performance in the box office, it can basically maintain the level of making money.

In half a year, this company has brought about two million US dollars in revenue to Lu Yuan.

More than two million US dollars, which is equivalent to more than 10 million yuan, which is already a very good level.

After watching the company gradually come back to life, Forex's mind suddenly became active.

The director's fire has not been completely extinguished because of previous failures, but has become more and more active.

These days, he has been reflecting on the reasons for his failure, and has been observing the movie market in these days.

Hollywood blockbusters are emerging one after another, with new people rising and old people surging.

In fact, he felt eager to try again.

In the past few months, in addition to acting for Huaxia movies and acting for screenings, he has been thinking about a horror script called "Photography Ghost".

American horror films were popular in the previous years, but after the explosion of science fiction blockbusters, the American horror film industry gradually stagnated. Although there are several horror films released throughout the year, the box office is basically average.

In the past two years, none of the horror films were shown in theaters, and even if they were released, they were not drawn for long.

The box office is not ideal.

But Forex Club does not think this is the reason for the market.

Forex feels that this is entirely due to the horror film itself.

Horror films need a new way, not pure blood, pure screams...

Therefore, it is precisely because of this idea that he created a script for "Photography Phantom". After many sculpting, he felt that the box office would not be too bad if it could be made.

Although he was satisfied with his script, Forex was still uneasy when calling his boss.

After all, I have a history of failure...

Will the boss give himself this opportunity?

Forex is very nervous.

"Forex...you pass the script over to me to see."

"Oh, okay, boss, can I send your email?"

"Well, by the way, how much do you expect to invest?"

"Fifty...no, more than two hundred thousand!"

"More than two hundred thousand dollars in investment?"

"Yes."

More than two hundred thousand US dollars is equivalent to more than one million yuan.

Lu Yuan thinks that the price is not expensive and acceptable.

However, after all, your own money is not brought by the wind, no matter how little investment you say, you have to read the script, right?

If the script was written in a mess, then Lu Yuan would definitely not be willing to invest in filming.

After all, Hollywood has produced a lot of box office blockbusters, but there are also a lot of bad movies.

It's just that the survivor effect makes everyone think that Hollywood movies are just awesome.

Although Lu Yuan watched "Killing Alien" with gusto before, but looking back now...

This movie's absolutely typical bad Hollywood movie didn't run away.

"Yes, send me the script, let me see it first."

"Okay, thank you boss!"

Forrees heard that his boss did not feel any discomfort, but his voice was rather gentle, and he was in a good mood. He quickly posted the script of tens of thousands of words to his boss’ mailbox. After sending it, he waited nervously for his boss’ review. .

Lu Yuan opened the mailbox and read the script called "Photography Ghost" silently from the beginning...

Lu Yuan originally thought it was an English script, but Furuisi was very careful and got himself a Chinese script.

The Chinese script Lu Yuan looked unimpeded by then.

But when he saw it, Lu Yuan was stunned!

This "Photography Ghost" is very similar to the "Ghost Record" that Lu Yuan saw a long time ago. Although the plot is slightly different, the techniques and creativity that will be used in it are not far from the "Ghost Record".

Of course, although this script is good, in Lu Yuan's view, it is still somewhat different from "Ghost Record".

It looks flawed, and there are many plots that Lu Yuan doesn’t seem to need...

After reading it, Lu Yuan shook his head and downloaded the script to the computer and opened it in WORD. At the same time, he modified it according to the description in "Ghost Record".

I don't know why, Lu Yuan was dizzy when he read English before, but when Lu Yuan read the script revision, his brain was very good, and he was not sleepy.

However, Lu Yuan panicked when he thought of some of the plots in "Ghost Record", especially in the middle of the night, from time to time there was a gust of wind blowing from a distance, just like some of the frightening things in the movie. sound.

In this world, it should be...

No ghosts?

Lu Yuan shuddered, and when he immediately revised the script, he found that he felt more and more.

Around three o'clock in the morning, Lu Yuan sent the revised script to Forex Club via email.

He stretched after sending it out.

Then looked at the time.

Fuck...

Why stay up late again?

Lu Yuan was so scared that he lay down on the bed without saying a word.

However, when Lu Yuan was lying on the bed, he found that as soon as he closed his eyes, the plot in the script was echoed in his mind.

then……

He felt that he might have insomnia.

……………………………………

Three o'clock in the morning Chinese time, eleven o'clock in the US time.

After lunch, Forex looked at the script sent by Lu Yuan.

"This, this... God, boss, you... Have you changed all my scripts?"

When Forreese opened the script, he was stunned for an instant.

The name of the script was still that name, but the content in the script was changed completely by the boss.

In addition to retaining some of the protagonist's name and some general locations in the script, the main line of the story has completely changed.

"This... what are these things?"

After seeing the things marked on both sides of the script, Frys was dumbfounded.

He suddenly found that there were countless shooting techniques and precautions in the script. When the key plot was reached, his boss also specifically marked some suggestions for framing in the script.

After reading it, Furuisi was surprised and speechless.

Then, after reviewing it carefully, he found that the script he wrote was compared with the script of his boss...

It is completely two concepts.

It is completely incomparable with the revised script.

He was suddenly hit by Lu Yuan.

I have worked hard to write a script for so long, and think it is a good script.

But the boss...

The boss just changed it casually and it became another script completely.

This……

Am I really not suitable for writing scripts?

Even saying that I am really not suitable for director?

this moment……

Forrese found himself suddenly at a loss.

……………………………………

The next day, Lu Yuan really lost his energy.

After getting up, I basically walked towards the crew with a yawn.

He stayed up all night, and after being cited by the "Photography Ghost", the horror film in Lu Yuan's mind instantly poured out like a tide...

For example, "The Shining", such as "Mountain Village Old Corpse", such as "The Grudge Series"...

The psychological shadow of the childhood seemed to have completely erupted. The hot weather made Lu Yuan scare himself wrapped in a quilt.

When the morning sun rose, Lu Yuan felt a lot more comfortable.

He reminded himself that there are no ghosts and there can be no ghosts in this world.

Of course, because of the fact that he frightened himself last night, Lu Yuan always made many low-level mistakes when shooting, and even Lu Yuan himself couldn't stand it.

Fortunately, the plot filmed today is not the highlight of its own. The highlight is Qin Ya and Xu Lu.

Lu Yuan could still steal his life for a while, and threw all his work to Li Qi, and he went back to the house early to catch up.

just……

Lu Yuan didn't make up for it long before the phone rang again.

Fatty Wei opened the call this time.

Lu Yuan yawned and answered the phone.

"what happened?"

"A Yuan... The new movie scripts of Qian Zhong and I have been prepared and sent to your mailbox. Take a look..."

"okay……"

"Ayuan... can you see it sooner, I want to take it sooner."

"Row……"

Lu Yuan yawned dazedly and then looked at the script on the mailbox.

The name of this script is "You at the same table".

Lu Yuan was taken aback.

What the hell?

"You at the same table"?

Lu Yuan shook his head suddenly, wiped his eyes and glanced again.

He thought he was wrong because he was so tired yesterday.

When I watched it the second time, Lu Yuan found that the name of the script was correct.

It's still "You at the same table"...

Lu Yuan subconsciously opened and read the script...

After reading it.

Lu Yuan was stunned. .

It's not because this script is very similar to the "You at the same table" in my memory, nor for other reasons, and it is the script that makes Lu Yuan feel like he was back in his school days.

To be honest, Lu Yuan feels that this script is even better than the original "You at the Table"...

This script made Lu Yuan so amazing!

It seems that Qian Zhong is really a talent!

"Hey……"

"A Yuan, how is it?"

"This script was worked out by you two?"

"Yeah, it was indeed figured out by the two of us, what do you think?"

"Really?" Lu Yuan narrowed his eyes.

"Ahem, ahem... Actually it was made by Qian Zhong. I... only supervised... Well, yes, supervision... Uh, okay... This script was completed by Qian Zhong first, but I found it again The big screenwriter An Hui on Taidao revised it again..." On the other side of the phone, Fatty Wei replied in embarrassment as if he had been poked.

"How much did the modification cost?"

"No money... After all, my best director's title is quite bluff... Miss Anhui is happy to help us change the script..."

"Really?" Lu Yuan didn't believe it as he listened.

"Well...Actually...I took a signed photo of you to make some deals with Anhui, Ayuan...Anhui is your fan..."

"..." Lu Yuan didn't know what to say.

Can my signed photos now become a trading tool?

"Ayuan, although the process is a bit tortuous, the script is still good..."

"All right, all right, how much investment do you want?"

"Two million?" Fatty Wei asked tentatively.

"What? Two million!" Lu Yuan was taken aback. Can the two million be shot?

This is not "This Man Comes From Earth".

It might ruin the script.

"Cough, cough... In fact, if it's tighter, 1.5 million can be shot..." Fatty Wei on the phone was blank, and then his voice was weak.

He thought Lu Yuan was unwilling.

After all, Lu Yuan's movies have always been small-cost and big box office.

Two million...

Make a youth movie.

seem……

Is it really higher?

"I will give you four million!"

"Huh? Four million? A Yuan, the sun came out from the west today? This... A Yuan, a person like you is...cough, cough..." Fatty Wei was not surprised when he heard the four million. Stupid instead.

"What do you mean?" Lu Yuan was in a good mood and turned bad in an instant.

"No, it's meaningless... By the way, besides this, can I make a small request?"

"any request?"

"Then... write a song for the movie..."

"..."
