"How to say?"

After hearing this idea, everyone's interest increased slightly. They looked at Huang Liu, hoping that he could be more specific about the idea. Only Deng Bo raised a question.

"Actually, there have been online novels about this subject. I remember I had read a similar subject before. It seems like it is no longer a new story."

"That's different. After all, the creativity of online novels is at the forefront of the entertainment industry. How can you compare online novels with movies? Otherwise, how can online novels be hyped as IP? It's not because the creativity of online novels can make people

Do people who don’t read novels find it very fresh and attractive?”

Huang Liu is right. You cannot compare online articles and movies. There is a huge difference between the fixed and unfixed images, so that this subject matter is still very novel in the film circle.

After hearing Huang Liu's explanation, Deng Bo did not speak. In fact, he had also fallen into a misunderstanding just now. He compared the script with the novel, not the movie itself. After thinking about it, he nodded and motioned for Huang Liu to continue.

"Even if the genre is the same, we can still have different details. If it's not telling a story at all, it's still creative. Just now I was thinking about what it would be like if God died. Now let's put all our thoughts aside.

After all, God’s business is still very vague. So, what will happen if the sun dies? The world will always be in darkness, and plants cannot grow. The simplest thing is that there are no vegetables and fruits to eat, so what can all living things eat?

?Meat, right?”

"So, if we assume that the sun is dead and all living things can only survive by eating meat, then all living things will become extremely aggressive. Is there no problem? My idea is to build a world with extremely harsh living conditions.

This is the world, at least for humans. It can even stop raining because the dragon that makes clouds and rain has been killed. It is a mythical world anyway, and this can solve many unexplainable problems."

Hearing that Huang Liu wanted to set the world as a world without sun and without rain, Yu Tai, a party-goer, frowned and asked his own question.

"How can people survive without water? Not to mention people, monsters also need to drink water."

"Drink blood. Monsters and the like kill people, eat meat, and drink blood. Since humans are at the bottom of the food chain, why not eat humans? I have also thought that if we want to satisfy our diet, the population will decrease with a negative growth trend, and it will decrease.

The speed is quite fast. If this doesn't work, what about magic? What can't be done with magic? Just induce labor. The magic will make you 100% pregnant, and then within a day or a few days, the child in the belly will grow to maturity and be born.

Then, magic is used to make the children grow up quickly into adults, and then they are eaten. The girls grow up normally, and continue to have children when they reach sexual maturity. The boys are picked to be strong and raised, and the weak ones are eaten."

Huang Liu enthusiastically perfected the world view, but everyone's brows furrowed more and more. Finally, they couldn't bear it anymore, so they waved their hands randomly.

"Let me tell you, Lao Liu, this is the first time I have discovered that you are so perverted. I won't comment on whether this idea is good or not, but it is definitely a problem to pass the trial. You should quickly take back your evil ideas."

Qin Fei seemed like he couldn't stand Huang Liu and told him to shut up. Such dark themes have always had difficulty in getting through censorship. Even if radio and television's requirements for themes are gradually lowered, many movies that could not be made in the past can now be made.

You can pass without cutting, but it would be strange if you can pass the trial for cannibalism.

"Who said it's mainly about cannibalism? What I'm talking about is the setting of human survival, the background! Isn't it mainly about the battle between humans and monsters? The subsequent development requires one or several people to play a decisive role

Functional, that is to say, because of the protagonist, humans are freed from the predicament of eating the same kind, which makes it easier to pass the review. And I haven’t thought of the settings of this person or these people. You can also imagine how he should appear.

It’s just appropriate.”

"Stop it! Stop it! Why are you in such a hurry? You haven't even set up the world, so what kind of protagonist do you want? The most important thing is Lu Ze, what do you think of the theme of Lao Liu?"

When the question came to Lu Ze, he was stumped for a while. The script is the script, and the budget is the budget. If you make a movie about this kind of epic battle, the investment will definitely increase. The original investment capped at 300 million now seems

Probably not enough.

He could first find these five screenwriters to write the script, but he really couldn't control the budget, so he couldn't help but turn his eyes to Feng Changhao aside.

"Minister Feng, what do you think of this theme?"

Feng Changhao was listening with great interest. It could be seen that he was still very interested in Huang Liu's creativity. When he heard Lu Ze's question, he turned the water-based pen in his hand, tapped the pen cap on the table, and thought for a while.

"If you want to make this kind of movie, don't you need a lot of special effects? Even ordinary environments need special effects, right? I have to ask Mr. Li about this and see what he thinks. I'll go now and you can continue.

Chat, it doesn't matter Lu Ze, what we are discussing now is the script, as long as the script is OK, I will go out first."

Hearing Feng Changhao's words proves that he is an outsider. If the funds are not enough, then no matter how good your script is and you don't have money to shoot it, it will be in vain. How much money will you get and what kind of movie will you shoot? If the amount of funds has not been determined, then the script will not work either.

Maybe come down.

But Lu Ze did not stop Feng Changhao. He nodded and asked Feng Changhao to question Li Shanjun. Then he continued to listen to the golden ideas that a group of screenwriters kept putting forward and recorded them in the book.

The current world view assumes that humans are at the bottom of the food chain, and their way of survival is just as Huang Liu said at the beginning, by eating people and hunting monsters that can be defeated. However, the living environment of humans is becoming more and more complete as the setting gradually becomes more complete.

Make it difficult.

There is no sun, no water to drink, the earth is dry and cracked and there are constant earthquakes, the climate is cold but there is no snowfall, the life span is short due to diet, lack of sunlight and other reasons. Just thinking about these conditions makes people despair. This is still preliminary.

Settings will be added continuously in the future.

While everyone was chatting enthusiastically, Feng Changhao knocked on the door again and entered the conference room, and brought everyone good news.

"I just reflected on our situation with Mr. Li. First of all, the previous book is definitely no longer needed. In terms of funding, Mr. Li decided to invest an additional 200 million out of his emphasis on the first movie. Generally speaking, it should be like this

After the teachers finalize the script, we will make a budget to see how much money should be invested."

"Mr. Li is very generous. If he says he wants to add 200 million, he will add 200 million. It only lasts less than twenty minutes. This decisiveness is something that ordinary producers cannot learn from. The Rongchuang Group is indeed rich. As for the filming, I

I think 500 million should be enough."

Li Congwen sincerely praised Li Shanjun's courage. You must know that since "Red Cliff", there have been many films with investment of hundreds of millions, such as "Wolf Totem", "The Great Wall", "The Wandering Earth", etc., but except for "The Wandering Earth"

"Except", there is no large-scale investment movie that does not lose money. There is even a saying in the industry that large-scale production means losing money.

Because of your large investment, plus the shares from other parties, it would take twice or even 2.5 times the box office of a movie to recover the cost and achieve profitability. However, the purchasing power of the market cannot keep up, resulting in a very large base for you.

It’s difficult to double it, so if you don’t lose money, who will?

Therefore, Lee Sun Kyun has the courage to dare to spend a lot of money to gamble whether he will make a profit. This is indeed rare in this industry and deserves to be praised.

In this way, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. As long as you have money, everything is easy. Even if there are a lot of special effects, 500 million is enough to spend, and there is even some leftover. After all, the cost of special effects has been reduced to a certain extent these days.

It is no longer as expensive as people thought. Comparing it with the price back then, it is simply a huge difference.

Back then, because the domestic special effects technology was underdeveloped, how could it be possible that being ripped off by a foreigner was not expensive? But in recent years, due to the gradual start of the domestic special effects industry, most special effects can be produced independently in China, and the price is naturally high.

The amplitude is reduced, only about one-fifth of that of foreign special effects companies.

Another reason is that the viewing mode has been fixed. After 3dmax, there has been no innovation for a long time. How many years has 3dmax been used? In other words, if you use current technology to do something that was available more than ten years ago,

It is naturally easier and simpler to make, so how can the cost not be reduced?

The money aspect has been settled, and then the work officially begins. Huang Liu is responsible for setting the world view, Li Congwen sets the regional map and environmental overview, Deng Bo is familiar with ancient books and is very proficient in mythological characters, so he adds the script characters, Tan

Fei is responsible for designing the storyline.

As for Yu Tai, his brother-in-law is the leader of Radio and Television. He is responsible for inquiring about information to see if he can pass the trial.

We continued to study until about five o'clock in the afternoon, and then everyone stopped working, got up and went to the hotel to have a drink. The official start of writing the script was scheduled for a week later. Before that, everyone still had to touch on ideas.

"To be honest, Lu Ze, I was so upset when I read the script just now. What Zhuoma, if I catch him, he will stop trying to hang out in this circle. You are using such a broken book to fool my buddy. What do you mean?

Did you have a headache at that time? Haha, come on, drink and drink, I did it."

"Excuse me, I'll take a call."

After drinking a glass of beer with everyone, Lu Ze's cell phone vibrated in his trouser pocket. Lu Ze took it out and took a look. It was Zhuang Yu calling. Knowing what it was about, he apologized to everyone, got up and left the room.

"Hello? Lu'er, where are you? It's so noisy?"

"Sister Zhen, I thought it was your village. I was drinking outside. What's wrong?"

"Oh, then you drink less, be safe when you go home, and the driver has a glass of wine, then, that, that, that, that, I'm telling you, I just want to ask you, should we wait for you in Paris the day after tomorrow, or should we meet in Cannes?

?”

"Let's meet in Cannes. You two are not allowed to go out together? Can I be a light bulb?"

"Okay, you are so sensible! I admire you very much! Okay, I won't say anything more. See you in Cannes. I wish you a romantic encounter in romantic France! I'm done."

The call was hung up, and Lu Ze went to the bathroom to wash his face. He had drunk a lot just now and was already a little dizzy. He pulled some toilet paper to wipe his face. Then Lu Ze remembered that the Cannes Film Festival was about to start.

He had been busy for a while, so he put the matter behind him. After relieving his dizziness, he listened to the noisy sound in the banquet hall, opened the door, smiled and raised his glass.

"I answered the phone. I made a mistake in serious matters. I will punish myself with a drink!"
