my time as a director

"Er.. yes."

"Yes, Director Li."

Talking about the two movies at the same time, Li Qian made the four of them a little confused, and they have never encountered such a thing.

However, they all answered truthfully, and the cost was enough to meet their needs.

After all, one advantage of low-cost movies is that the cost is low enough.

"Okay, if there is no problem, sign the contract."

Li Qian handed over the two folders directly, and didn't do anything vain.

Li Qian still has memories of these two movies. In fact, he has a deep impression of domestic comedies, and he liked this genre before.

People on Journey is about the ironic scenes that happened between the big boss and the milkman on the way to the Spring Festival.

As a comedy, from the plane, the train to the bus, the ferry, and the truck, the two combinations have a lot of embarrassing things along the way, and they definitely achieve a funny effect.

Moreover, Xu Zheng and Wang Baoqiang, two actors with very strong comedy talents, get together, and the effect is 112, which can be called a golden combination.

And along the way, life is full of life, the indifferent capitalist is influenced by the simple milkman, slowly changes, finds himself, and adds a touch of warmth.

This is extremely rare in domestic comedies.

Nowadays, comedies, especially low-budget comedies, are all funny.

It's more of a comedy than a comedy.

Nightclub is another style of comedy, telling the story of a hilarious robbery in a late-night convenience store.

Deliberately setting the characters into facial makeup characters weakens the logic and complexity of the narrative, but it can highlight the conflicts between the characters.

The shrewd and practical female salesperson, the cowardly and cowardly male shop assistant, the acrimonious proprietress, the stupidity of Dasha Tire...everyone has a labeling symbol.

The only male protagonist who is a little bit more complicated, a down-and-out migrant worker who is self-willed, has clear principles.

The simpler it is, the less strenuous and direct it is to look at.

For comedy, the labeling of characters is a creative style, which mainly relies on the direct collision of characters' personalities and relationships to create jokes, which is very different from people in Journey.

This style has the strongest funny effect, but different styles have their own advantages and disadvantages.

Movies have memories, so it's definitely no problem to sell them at the box office, so Li Qian is more straightforward.

However, the four of them were a little confused by this directness.

Is that the end?

This is different from what they imagined. They just introduced themselves and signed the contract without asking a single word.

A lot of analysis prepared, all in vain.

Even Yang Qing, who is aloof and not very good at digging, feels very strange about this.

Even if the cost is only 300 million, it is not a small amount of money. The film and television companies and producers I have seen before are as cautious as a large production with an investment of tens of millions.

"Do you have any other questions?"

Seeing that they did not sign, Li Qian asked.

It's okay to ask, but this...

Although it felt a little smooth and outrageous, Li Qian took a look at the script, and gave them the tens of millions.

However, I don't know what to say, I can't let Li Qian hesitate again and again before deciding to invest.

In the past, I wished that those investors would not even want to invest in him, but some people were so happy, but felt that something was wrong.

Li Qian looked at them and said with a smile, "I've read the script and the planning book. Is there anything else to add?"

That's really not the case, that is, he intends to speak out the planning case with emotion, fooling around...no, making Li Qian willing to invest.

"Then why hesitate, just be straightforward, there is no need to make so many detours, sign it."

A few people thought about it. It's extremely difficult to invest in these years, so they all subconsciously think that it takes a lot of effort to attract investment. They are not used to seeing Li Qian who is so direct.

Yang Qing also signed his name on the contract, but Sheng Tang's creative director, Shi Chenyun, did not sign it, he said with some embarrassment.

"Director Li, we are a screenwriting studio and we want to sell scripts."

It's a little embarrassing now.

"Aren't you here to find investment?"

"We don't have a director, and we can't make a movie ourselves."

"I made it very clear in my advertisement, looking for high-quality film projects, then what's going on with your planning project, and what about the 800 million cost you quoted me?"

"Our scripts will always come with a planning proposal. The cost is the cost you said you wanted to write down in the email, so..."

"So you're here to sell scripts?"

"...Yes."

"Didn't you graduate from the directing department?"

"I graduated from the directing department, but I'm just a screenwriter. I can't do the job of directing."

Li Qian is also speechless, a graduate of the director department of the best art academy in China, can only write scripts but not make movies.

Where will I find the director at this hour and a half?

Shi Chenyun and Tian Yusheng were also a little embarrassed. They wanted a complete project, but they only had one script.

This made Li Qian go to find the director, Qi Yukun and Guo Fan went to school, and Su Lun had to live together in time and space.

It is not so easy to find a capable director, and it is not Chinese cabbage.

Li Qian also doesn't know who the director of the original version is, otherwise it would be easy.

Even now, even the Wandering Earth, a large-scale domestically produced sci-fi film, has no idea who made such high-level commercial war movies as the Wolf Warrior series and Operation Red Sea.

These domestic directors guessed over and over, but they didn't see who could make this new type of blockbuster.

The memories in my mind don't have any information about the movie, and I don't know the names of the directors or actors. If I don't know many actors, I don't know who they are.

But it was indeed a good movie, Li Qian was still willing to accept it, and bought it for 10 yuan.
