full-level director

"What do you want to eat tonight?" Li Qingyu asked coquettishly while hugging Lin Juan's arm, knowing that Lin Juan was unhappy and deliberately coaxing him, Lin Juan thought for a while and said, "It's been a long time since I ate fried eggplant, let's do it this time." .”

"Okay, then let's go shopping. I want to eat Coca-Cola chicken wings, will you make it?" Li Qingyu asked.

"Um... haven't done it, why don't we check the recipe and try to make it?"

"Okay." When Li Qingyu agreed, his eyes were bent into crescent moons, eager to try.

It's also fun to cook together.

The two discussed buying vegetables and returned home. While they were cooking, a phone call came. Lin Juan put down the knife and chicken wings, wiped his hands on the apron, and said to Li Qingyu, who was frying eggplants: Phone."

"Okay, you go." Li Qingyu, who was fighting with the eggplant, squinted to hide from the oily smoke, said without looking back.

Lin Juan took out his mobile phone and walked out of the kitchen to look at the caller. It was an unfamiliar number. He thought for a while and chose to connect: "Hello?"

"Hello, hello, is this Director Lin?" There was a gentle and polite man's voice on the other side of the phone. When the other party pointed out his identity, Lin Juan breathed a sigh of relief. Afraid of revealing his identity or something, he concentrated a little and said, "It's me, are you?"

"I'm the project manager of Tencent Pictures. My name is Fang Mu. I met Director Lin before." Fang Mu's attitude was very polite and humble. Lin Juan was at a loss at first, and then found the name in his memory.

Fang Mu, Wufang Pictures, was the first company he went to when he first came to Tianhai with "Going Home".

"Oh, I see, why..." Lin Juan asked in surprise, Fang Mu smiled wryly on the phone and said, "This is a bit of a long story..."

After Fang Mu's talk, Lin Juan gradually understood that since his "Going Home" achieved good results and reputation after the release, Fang Mu began to regret it, and some colleagues laughed at him behind his back when chatting, even Those people also mocked Lin Juan at that time, and it was the same.

Then Lin Juan's "Journey to the Center of the Earth" officially began to rise. Fang Mu was the most difficult time during that time. Of course, the company would not fire him because of this matter, but it can be expected that there will be no hope of promotion, and there are jokes from colleagues. Looking back on what happened that day, Fang Mu finally made a decision, which was to resign.

His original goal was to be a producer!Lin Juan's success touched him a lot. He saw with his own eyes that someone pursued his dream like this and succeeded, so why couldn't he?

Then, relying on his work experience, he entered Tencent Pictures, which was recruiting and buying horses, and started his journey as a producer, that is, a project manager. He can find projects by himself to create performance for the company. There is not only one film company per person. Being a producer is nothing special. The key is to get a good project, the company approves the project, and brings benefits to the company. Only in this way can you be considered a successful producer.

Over the past few years, he has developed well. With Lin Juan's lessons, he discovered several small projects with great potential, and successfully gained a firm foothold in the ranks of producers. However, his current situation is similar to that of Lin Juan back then. , Lin Juan took over "Journey to the Center of the Earth" without a director, and he took over "League of Legends". The pressure on this project is too great. If it fails, it may directly ruin its reputation.

Because the shadow was too deep at the beginning, he insisted on looking for Lin Juan under the disapproval of others. He felt that if anyone could make this project well, it must be Lin Juan.

Lin Juan listened carefully to what he said, and his heart was full of sighs. In the blink of an eye, six years have passed.

In fact, he never hated those people. If he hadn't had that experience and put him in Fang Mu's position, he might have made the same decision.

"Common sense" is a mountain, and people often make judgments easily, but human progress has always been based on breaking common sense, as if everyone thinks that mobile phones cannot make movies, but if you are willing to check the information, you will I found that it is actually possible. Many A-category film festivals have mobile short story awards, as well as Oscar-winning mobile movies.

In the workplace, no matter how many newcomers have creative ideas, they will be denied by their seniors. They will use common sense to deny you, but young people should remember that what others can't do, you may not be able to do it.

Just like Papa Ma, he also came out of the thorny road back then. Human beings are progressing and breaking common sense every day. In today's society, no matter what you do, you must maintain a keen sense of smell if you want to succeed.

For a moment, Lin Juan's heart was full of emotions, and then he heard the other party finally say: "Director Lin, I'm sorry that I rejected your movie without seeing it. I learned a lesson and learned a lot from it. , I have been regretting it for the past few years. I also want to cooperate with you once I take this project. If I can’t cooperate with you once, that matter will become a demon in my life, and it will be a self-salvation. Excuse me Do you intend to shoot "League of Legends"?"

After speaking, he held his breath and waited. Fang Mu could hear his own heartbeat so nervous. Finally, after an unknown amount of time, he heard Lin Juan's smiling voice on the phone: "Why not?"

Chapter 394 Angry Lin Juan's Script

why not?

After hearing Lin Juan's words, Fang Mu on the other end of the phone waved his fist fiercely, choking with excitement. At this time, he was in a similar mood to when Lin Juan was recognized by Li Lan. All kinds of difficulties, the feeling of gaining hope after a last stand.

At the beginning, he rejected Lin Juan, but it turned out that it was a serious dereliction of duty, and he paid the price for it, but he didn't resent anyone, instead, he absorbed nutrients from it, thus breaking prejudice and breaking the routine to get to this point, in fact, he He has completed his own redemption, but what happened at the beginning has always been a knot in his heart. If he had watched that movie in the face of Lin Juan's request, would everything have been different?

He has blamed himself countless times, and occasionally immersed himself in remorse when he was alone, but now at the moment when Lin Juan agreed to cooperate with him, he finally forgave himself.

What he blamed was the self who was arrogant because of common sense.

"Thank you, Director Lin, thank you." Fang Mu thanked excitedly, and Lin Juan said with a gentle smile, "You're welcome, I'm also very happy that you can complete the transformation, and I'm sorry for causing you trouble."

Some people will be destroyed in the blow, feel sorry for themselves or blame others, but some people will absorb nutrients in the blow, so as to achieve extraordinary, Fang Mu can rely on himself today, you can imagine his hardships at the beginning, "League of Legends" "Although the project is a fat job, it became famous overnight, but if it fails, it will have to turn around.

Unless he is a top-level producer, the average producer does not have so many opportunities. Dare to fight for this project is a kind of courage in itself, and if he does not take over "League of Legends", with Lin Juan's current status, it is naturally difficult cooperate with him.

"No, I didn't grasp the opportunity at the beginning." Fang Mu said firmly, Lin Juan shook his head and said, "Okay, let's not talk about this, our company's Mr. Li should have told you that I haven't had a chance in the past year or two. Time for League of Legends?"

"Well, I know, it doesn't matter. If you are director Lin, we can wait. I believe fans will also wait. This project has been discussed for several years, and we have not made up our minds to do it. What the company means is that if we don't have the confidence to do it. It's better not to do it." Fang Mu said.

"Did you have a plan before how to do this project? Do you have a script?" Lin Juan asked.

"Yes, we have discussed it several times before. Before, they were more inclined to film players' stories, that is, college students liked goddesses, and then found out that goddesses like to play League of Legends, so the male protagonist also went to learn, and when he went to Summoner Canyon, he would do that kind of CG. , and then clashed with the school team. In the end, the hero relied on games to embrace the story of the beauty. The screenwriter was written by the screenwriter from the United States together with the screenwriter from our company. There are games, youth, and love, but the company thinks it is still not enough Too safe."

Lin Juan: "..."

To be fair, it is very normal for those screenwriters to write such scripts, and some companies will really invest money in the filming. One dares to write and the other dares to shoot. Now Tencent Pictures is holding back and not letting the filming be because the project is too real. It's too big so I feel unsafe to hold it down.

But Lin Juan swears, this is not the epic feeling that players want.

"Haven't you considered considering the hero's background?" Lin Juan asked, and Fang Mu said: "Of course I have, but those screenwriters said that the background of those heroes is too complicated to be unified. If you insist on filming It will become messy, so why not, Director Lin, do you have any good ideas?"

Only then did Lin Juan calm down... what a ghost!That's right, those screenwriters feel messed up even when adapting a single-protagonist novel to film and television, and then play it freely. I guess they don't even bother to read the novel, they only know the characters, let alone the background of the more than 100 heroes in the game.

But as a screenwriter, carrying the expectations of book fans and players, can't you really be more dedicated?

"I don't have many ideas. I haven't read the materials yet. You don't need to show me the script. Go back and burn it. I will contact you when I finish writing the script. I will discuss the amount of investment when the time comes. But there is a preliminary The idea is that I will not use real people to appear on the scene, but make CG, real actors will only perform behind the scenes, and the motion capture will capture the expressions and body parts, and restore the original paintings in the game, I don’t want to hurt the eyes of the players.”

Lin Juan's words were a bit offensive, because he is a little angry now. When it comes to things like movies, he is really angry about some things in the industry, but all he can do is to be himself.

The script that Fang Mu said is not impossible to shoot, a bunch of film and television companies shoot this stuff, and he can be sure to shoot it, or some players will pinch their noses and say that the filming is actually okay, otherwise, what should we do?If you don't encourage it, you don't even have to watch this.

But Lin Juan's movies didn't end there.

"Well...Okay, then we will contact later, and I will make a contract as soon as possible, thank you Director Lin."

"Okay, see you then."

After hanging up the phone, Lin Juan was still a little... not sure what to say, he was so angry that he was so annoyed, did he need to find some fresh meat to act in that ghost script?

Forget it, the domestic film and television market still needs to develop. If you don’t develop it, I will let those films that are not good enough have no room to survive!

"What are you doing? Why don't you come? Do you want to be lazy!" Li Qingyu's voice came from the kitchen. She was going to make Coca-Cola Chicken Wings, and she didn't know what to do. Lin Juan let go of what was on her mind and quickly replied : "Come here, I just finished calling."

"Whose phone number? We've been talking for so long." Li Qingyu pretended to be casual and asked, Lin Juan smiled and began to tell her.

So during the process of chatting and cooking, a table of dishes was freshly baked. This table of dishes definitely has a taste that cannot be bought anywhere, that sour and refreshing taste...

Gee.

In the next few days, Lin Juan checked the background information of the League of Legends while he was in charge of the preparations for "Captain 2". Find a main line inside.

Of course, it is impossible for so many heroes to appear on the stage. It would be too messy. We can only choose some heroes and choose a protagonist among them. There are still many vacant parts in the background that need to be filled by him. Work, so Lin Juan just read and didn't start real creation. He is going to shoot "Captain 2" soon. If he is too immersed in other stories, it will inevitably be affected, so enough is enough.

Five days later, Lin Juan signed a directing contract for the first "League of Legends" movie with Tencent Pictures. .

As soon as the news came out, the majority of players were stunned at first, because they hadn't heard any wind before, and then exploded in an instant after they reacted. Players shouted excitedly from all over the country, and Moments and Weibo were instantly refreshed.
