Chapter 159 Contemporary Conspiracy: One Plot to Kill Three Sages

"Mr. Yang came quite early today?" Cheng Fei sat down skillfully, "I heard that you have a big move? Are there any difficulties with the budget? Do you need financial support?"

Generally speaking, after a movie is released, 30% to 40% of the box office goes to the theaters, another 30% to 40% goes to the distributor, and the rest goes to the investors and producers.

As the distributor, Cheng Yu must first deduct the promotion fee and his own share from the box office share. As long as it is not a box office hit, he will basically not lose money. It can be said that he is in an invincible position.

Now that Cheng Yu is willing to take the initiative to invest, it shows that they have great trust in Yang Ruoqian and Kui Guang after experiencing the popularity of "The Dragon Son Who Protects the Country" last time.

When a movie is made, it is normal for the producer to lose money. Neither making a profit nor losing money is considered great, and only a few can make money.

Even with such a low probability, Cheng Yu was actually willing to express his intention to invest in the production before seeing the script.

Of course, Kuangguang Company, which has a universal qualification certificate, can actually distribute movies on its own (a reward in Chapter 51), but this means it loses a partner who can take away a full 40% of the box office, which is not conducive to losing money.

Yang Ruoqian would definitely not use such a precious reward on such a thing to harm himself.

"There is no need to invest." Yang Ruoqian shook his head and looked at Director An Zhou, "The crew will lend it to you. We will provide the actors and funds, and you will be responsible for the promotion."

Yang Ruoqian was not in a hurry to form his own crew.

On the one hand, it took a lot of time to form a team, and he couldn't delay too much after borrowing money from the bank; on the other hand, he wanted to find a crew that fully met Yang Ruoqian's requirements, but it was actually not that simple.

It would be better to let Chengyu's crew take the lead first, so the cost would be higher.

Director An Zhou's eyes lit up: "Has Mr. Yang prepared the script this time?"

After the success of "The Dragon Son Who Protects the Country", An Zhou was very interested in Kuai Guang's outstanding imagination and screenwriting skills, and was very motivated to learn.

Who knows, Yang Ruoqian shook his head: "This time I only have ideas and general directions. The script must be handed over to your screenwriting team."

Trust us so much?

Only give direction to the ideas, and let An Zhou and his crew develop freely?

Last time, their writing team clearly did nothing, but the name of the chief screenwriter was written at the end of the film.

This time, Kuang Guang even directly handed over the responsibility of writing the script to them.

An Zhou was suddenly moved: "Don't worry, I will definitely not disappoint Mr. Yang. I will ask the screenwriting team to work overtime to complete it!"

Your company actually has the bad habit of working overtime...

Yang Ruoqian complained in his heart and continued: "The general direction is very simple, it is an anti-superhero movie."

"Anti-superhero?" An Zhou was stunned for a moment.

What kind of subject is this? Why have I never heard of it before...

Boss Yang’s editorial team has so many creative ideas?

"That's right, an anti-superhero." Yang Ruoqian said casually, "Isn't there some kind of captain over there in the ocean? Let's make a hero of the motherland...the personality and character creation are completely opposite."

"There are messengers of justice over there, but here we are hypocrites with human faces and animal hearts."

"The other characters are pretty much the same, so it's just the other way around."

"You can develop the plot yourself, but the core idea should be highlighted - what would an ordinary person with a dark heart do after having abilities beyond ordinary people."

"In short, everything has to be reversed."

The expression on An Zhou's face ranged from confusion, to shock, to thoughtfulness: "I probably understand what Mr. Yang means... I will contact the screenwriting team right now."

When he heard the first sentence, An Zhou actually wanted to retort. If it wasn't really well shot, such random attention would lead to the movie being attacked by groups.

Because there are many "originalists" who will find faults with the attitude of nitpicking, and any flaws will be magnified infinitely.

When he heard the second sentence, An Zhou was even more shocked - how could anyone take advantage of other people's warmth, eat rice from other people's bowls, and spit in other people's faces?

This movie should not be immediately criticized as soon as it is released.

Even hiring a big-name celebrity or finding popular traffic can't save it.

wrong……

An Zhou immediately rejected his outdated ideas and began to seriously think about the true meaning of Yang Ruoqian's words.

Mr. Yang is able to produce a popular drama like "The Dragon Son Who Protects the Country". The plan he proposed must have been carefully planned, fully investigated the market demand, and produced by an excellent team of screenwriters working day and night.

If you want to keep up with Mr. Yang's thinking, you must not just look at the surface, but also appreciate the depth.

A movie is a process of outputting worldview and values ​​to the audience.

How do you get the audience to accept this output?

How to make the audience accept such output when they already have a fixed impression of superheroes?

"What will an ordinary person with a dark heart do after he has abilities beyond ordinary people?"

An Zhou's mind exploded - he understood everything.

He completely understood Yang Ruoqian's thoughts.

That is...find the anti-human aspects of superhero movies, and then follow the psychology of the general public!

Such a strong sense of contrast, reality and immersion can just satisfy the audience's sense of curiosity!

"Director An, do you think our direction is unreasonable?" Yang Ruoqian saw An Zhou's expression changing every second, and his initially uneasy mood gradually calmed down.

Whether it is himself, the audience, or even the professional director, all feel that a movie made in this way is destined to die.

This time, my investment of 100 million will definitely be completely ruined.

An Zhou immediately raised his head and said very firmly: "No, Mr. Yang... I have no doubts anymore. You two, please excuse me. I have too many ideas in my mind right now, and I must go back and share them with the crew immediately!"

This is a blockbuster, this is a masterpiece!

Even though he is a tepid director, maybe he can become one of the top directors because of this movie!

How could he still be in the mood to eat?

After saying that, Anzhou left the restaurant in a hurry without even finishing the last meal in the bowl, regardless of being polite or impolite.

Yang Ruoqian looked at An Zhou hiding his face and running away, nodded with satisfaction, and felt that his appetite had improved a lot.

Seeing my own thoughts, I made other veteran directors angry.

Cheng Fei, who had been watching the show since just now, watched An Zhou leave, and then said slowly: "Now that we're done talking about business, how about something casual?"

"What's the matter?" Yang Ruoqian put down his chopsticks and asked curiously.

What else does this rich second generation care about?

"I didn't expect you to be so bad." Cheng Fei showed a rare teasing smile and shook the phone screen at Yang Ruoqian, "I have long been unhappy with the people in Yue Mansion, and this time I got angry. "

Take a breath?

What the hell?

When did I take action against Yue Mansion again?

Yang Ruoqian's head was full of questions and he glanced at Cheng Fei's mobile phone.

I saw a video playing on it with a catchy title and tens of thousands of comments below.

"Contemporary conspiracy master: In ancient times, two peaches killed three wise men, but now there is a plan to harm three wise men."

In the center of the video, at the scene of the "MasterChef Competition", Yu Hong was holding a nine-turn large intestine that looked pretty good, and walked step by step towards the three green-faced judges.
