Listening to the questions of the crew members present, Wang Hao, who had been standing by, suddenly laughed.
If it weren't for our Bingfei cousin's company, I wouldn't be bothered to talk nonsense with this group of guys how much money I gave!
"It's really the first time I heard that young people are guilty," Wang Hao glanced at these people and sneered: "What's wrong with being older? I've seen the "Dragon Fire 3" you filmed, and it's just rubbish. It seems that 80 million things are high! From the script to the screen, there is no one that can be shot! Just this thing is also called a big production? I am really not mocking anyone, I just want to say that it is your level The same goes for making ten films!"
Damn, this young man is crazy!
As soon as Wang Hao said this, the whole meeting room suddenly fried!
"Young people, don't be too crazy! I am also a well-known director in China, and the movies I have directed before have won a lot of box office!"
"That is, those of us who take out any one and put it in the circle are definitely the top!"
"We are at this level? Young people, we are all the top in the industry! You are not afraid that the wind will flash your tongue!"
Everyone slapped the table and made loud noises, and the whole scene became a mess for a while!
"Enough! Don't make any noise!" Bai Ze slapped the table fiercely, making a loud "bang", and the water glasses on the table jumped.
He looked around the audience, then looked at Bai Yaning and Wang Hao, and said, "Little girl, you sit down first."
After Bai Yaning and Wang Hao sat down, Bai Ze said, "Anyway, this film is indeed a hit. The total box office for 13 days after the release was only 80 million yuan, and our investment was 150 million yuan. We lost close to 130 million in the film, which can be said to have lost everything. I don’t want to find out who is responsible for it. No one can really hold it accountable. But I have to figure out why I’m on the street! If this If you don’t understand it, then it’s just like what the old man said. Let’s shoot ten more movies in the next step!"
When he said this, everyone present looked at each other and couldn't say a word.
What they said was correct. They invested 150 million yuan, but only got back 80 million yuan at the box office. Four-fifths of the blood loss, no one can afford such a responsibility.
But after all, it's the Bai family. If it doesn't work, then admit it. This courage is still necessary. But acknowledging one's loss belongs to acknowledging one's loss, the reason must be understood. If you don’t understand this, how much you have to lose?
"Let's say it all alone," Bai Ze looked around the audience, looking at one person first, and said: "Liu Qiwen and Liu screenwriter, you speak first."
"This..." The screenwriter Liu Qiwen was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Mr. Bai, I am just a small screenwriter and have no decision-making power. My script has been changed more than a dozen times, and I can't help it."
After Liu Qiwen finished speaking, he shrank his neck.
"Then Li Boming, Director Li, you must know why you are rushing on the street, right?" Bai Ze looked at the middle-aged fat man with a big belly and said, "Tell me, why are you rushing on the street."
"This..." Li Boming was sweating. He looked around and then decisively said: "Actually, President Bai, I think it's not that we can't do it, it's that the audience is too rubbish! The things we photographed are actually very artistic Valuable, but the audience is too low-grade to understand! This is not to blame for us!"
His words immediately won the approval of everyone present, and a group of people nodded together—
"Yes, yes, it's not that we can't, it's that the audience is too rubbish!"
"No, this group of viewers can't understand our artistry at all! What we filmed itself is based on the plot of our heavenly myths and legends. This was originally a good subject, but they didn't understand it!"
"Yeah, speaking of it, we really overestimate the audience's IQ. We are not to blame for this..."
Hearing what everyone said, Bai Ze rubbed his temple fiercely.
These guys are now good at shirking responsibility, but the matter is over, and it's useless to say anything.
In fact, it is not unacceptable for his company to lose 100 million yuan, but what really worries him is what to do in the future?
As a result, when Bai Ze was worried, Wang Hao, who was sitting aside, finally spoke!
Grandma, dare you say the audience is rubbish? So today we and our Bing Concubine are also going to the movies. Are we also rubbish?
"A bunch of corpse wastes from vegetarian meals," Wang Hao sat in a chair, but this time he really didn't save them a bit of face: "The you photographed is also a problem for the audience? Liu Qiwen, screenwriter Liu, right? This thing you wrote is ashamed to be called a script? The whole movie is as light as boiled water from the beginning to the end. The plot inside is all twisted, I almost didn't watch it and fell asleep at the time!"
As soon as Liu Qiwen heard this, he stopped doing it: "What's wrong with my script?! I was invited by a local folk culture group to sort out the excellent Chaoshan folk myths and legends and adapted them! For this script, I checked books, visited and investigated, according to the local Fragments such as temple inscriptions recorded the storyline of the adaptation and integration! I ran for this thing for three full years!"
"Do you have reason in three years?" Wang Hao coldly snorted, "Don't talk about this broken script for three years. Three days are worthless! Do you know what a script is? Do you know a story?!"
"I, I, I, I, why don't I understand?" Liu Qiwen shouted with a pale face: "Why is my story not working? Ah? Why do you think it is not working?!"
Several other people looked at Wang Hao together and said loudly: "Yes! Why is it not working?!"
Li Boming even slapped the table wildly, saying: "Boy, you can eat more rice and not talk nonsense! This script is pretty good when I look at it, why is it not working?!"
Bai Ze frowned and looked at the chaotic group of people, intentionally stopping, but inadvertently glanced at Bai Ya Ning, and suddenly found that Bai Ya Ning actually shook his head slightly at himself.
This is something!
He knew who his sister was, but he obviously believed in the young man at this time. It seems that this young man definitely has two brushes.
Thinking of this, Bai Ze immediately patted the table fiercely, and said: "Don't make a noise, tell this old man to finish!"
Soon the meeting room became quiet again.
"I knew you were dissatisfied," Wang Hao sorted his clothes, then walked to the whiteboard in front of the meeting room, picked up a black pen, and drew a circle directly on it, writing the words "person": "Let's talk about the person first What is the villain you set?! Is there any villain you set up like this?!"
Liu Qiwen said loudly: "What happened to my villain? How much artistic value?"
"I pooh!" Wang Hao sipped fiercely, and said, "This villain's mother is a snake demon servant girl of Queen Mother West. She fell in love with General White Snake and was pregnant, but Queen Mother West found out and soaked the servant girl in In the realgar pool for three days and three nights, General White Snake rescued but was beheaded by the heavenly soldiers. Finally, under the persuasion of everyone, Queen Mother finally forgave the servant girl. At this time, she was so painful that all her scales had fallen off, and she was demoted to the mortal world. Mie—this Queen Mother of the West is the biggest villain, okay? Instead of you being the audience, what do you think about this? Do you understand what it means that the public has a sympathy for the weak?"
"What's wrong with this?" Liu Qiwen quibbleed: "My name is art, do you know art?! How can the artistic value of movies be shown without setting such a tortuous life experience?"
"Art shit! I knew this thing was unreasonable and affected the box office!" Wang Hao was furious, and said, "You have to play art while playing, don't pit others' investment! We are not doing charity, we are losing money. More than one billion asked you to play art and feelings over there, right?!"
This time Liu Qiwen was completely speechless: "I..."
"It makes sense," Bai Ze nodded, and said: "This villain's setting is indeed a big problem. Such villain audiences can't hate it, so naturally they don't want to see the protagonist knock him down, right? ?"
"Of course," Wang Hao took a sip of water and continued: "The setting of this biggest villain is very problematic, and the biggest problem is, such a hateful Queen Mother, what did you do when the movie ended? She disappeared! She disappeared! The whole film has not come out once except for the plot! The biggest key point of this film is that the villain became a monster because of the evil of the Queen Mother to his mother. As a result, The biggest villain did not appear! How about playing?"
Hearing what Wang Hao said, Liu Qiwen was aggrieved this time: "I didn't hire it~EbookFREE.me~ This Queen Mother of the West was taken away by Director Li...Furthermore, one investment of 100 million yuan The script cost of the 50 million film is 2 million, which is a few people! This one says no, I have to change it, and the other says it doesn’t work, I have to change it. What can I do? I am helpless too!"
This time Li Boming quit, and hummed aside: "I think there is a problem with the setting of this character, so I took it away!"
"Don't think you are a director and do whatever you want!" Wang Hao pointed his gun directly at Li Boming this time, and said, "What's the matter with the director? If the director has more power, he can change the script at will, right? It's because of you. These directors are pretentious, and all good things have to be kicked in. If you don’t change it, you can’t show you are awesome, right? If you don’t change it, you can’t show that you are capable, right? You change! You change hard! Right?!"
Actually speaking of screenwriters, Wang Hao's opinion is really not that big.
After all, the story is written well and the impact is not so severe—for example, film and television works adapted from novels. If the quality of the novel itself is good, even if the screenwriter is a fool, as long as the plot is not off-track, it will not be much worse than the script.
But the problem is that there is still a director on the screenwriter!
The director is the most powerful person in the crew. If he shoots all the scripts, he won't show his ability! Can't show that you are awesome!
Therefore, in a crew, the status of screenwriters is often very low, and it is lucky if a written script is not changed dozens of times.
How many good works were there in the previous life, and once they were adapted into film and television, they completely destroyed the brand?
The reason is here. If it doesn't change at all, how can the director become famous? If the word of mouth is good, that is the credit of my director, if the word of mouth is bad, it is your script rubbish!
Sorry, sorry for being late~ I just got home today, let me code a chapter~
