Chapter 232 Silly Child
Hearing Huo Qin's request, Huo Dong thought about it for a few seconds, then nodded and agreed: "Okay, Aunt Huo. I will finish them as soon as possible after I go back. I just have little experience. If you have anything wrong, don't worry about it."
It’s nothing more than helping to read a few scripts. No matter how you say it, you must be worthy of the 80 million from the beautiful aunt in front of you. Besides, you can use the stones from other mountains to polish jade, and sometimes you also need to learn some other people’s scripts.
However, unexpectedly, Huo Qin covered her mouth and smiled: "No need to go back, just watch it here! I will ask them to prepare drinks and snacks. You must watch it well. Auntie has a reward here. How about having dinner together in the evening? Hihhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
"?"
Huo Dong had already ignored Huo Qin's tone of coaxing children. He was speechless because this beautiful aunt was speaking outsiders.
Although the number of words in the movie script is not large, only about tens of thousands of words, if you read it as a story, it will take more than ten minutes for people who can read it carefully. But if you want to read it carefully, you need to constantly imagine the lens in the brain space, which will take at least several hours. This is just reading one book, not to mention there are several books.
But...then let's see! It's not a big deal.
Huo Qin's office is very spacious, but it is actually a suite, with an outside secretary's room, a lounge, a bathroom, and a small conference room. Huo Dong was arranged to read the scripts in the small conference room.
Looking at Huo Dong's serious expression from afar, Huo Qin felt happy: "The child is so smart. If you use a little trick, that little bastard will accompany me for an afternoon and have dinner together in the evening. It's great!"
Although he was full of complaints, Huo Dong did not do anything perfunctory. He could say it again whether he would make suggestions or not, but he had to study hard.
The secretary sent five scripts. Huo Dong first read them. Sure enough, he gave literary scripts to those outside investors. Huo Dong also needed to convert them into scene scripts, so it would take longer.
In the past nine months, Huo Dong has modified dozens of versions of the script of "The Great Trouble of Heaven" alone. He not only honed his acting skills in performance, but also gained a lot of experience in script creation. He has already gained confidence and should not be much worse than other screenwriters. Now he just wants to know how far there is between himself and those famous screenwriters?
But after browsing it roughly, Huo Dong frowned. The script is nothing, at least the structure is very complete, without any major flaws, and is worthy of being a famous screenwriter. However, in many details, he has dug a lot of small holes for investors.
For example, the actors recommended in the notes are basically from Hong Kong and Taiwan. It should be said that the Hong Kong and Taiwan entertainment circles are indeed relatively group. But their pay is very inflated. If they play a domestic local movie, they all speak Hong Kong and Taiwan Mandarin?
In fact, this is quite important. Accent issues are everywhere. For example, Hollywood has London accent English, Australian English, New York accent English, and even Texas accent denim English. This is for the reality in the film. In order to learn accents, actors will go to training courses. Do you think Hong Kong and Taiwan actors are not willing to learn standard Mandarin? So why do you say that they are very professional? What is the reason to give such a high pay?
Of course, you can ignore this. It is normal for Wang Zui to recommend his fellow countryman actors.
However, some places should not be added. A special part of unnecessary outdoor scenes was added; some unnecessary props were used; some scenes were repeated, so they could be compressed; some places were inexplicably added an action scene...
With questions, Huo Dong browsed it again. According to the budget given at the end of the script, if he had been with him, he would at least save 10% of the cost. However, it was difficult to tell what was wrong. If he really cared about it, it would be harmless.
So, this is the shrewdness of the Hong Kong and Taiwan entertainment industry. Only dig small holes, don’t need big holes, and pay attention to long-term flow. To be honest, the performance of the mainland is even worse. They invest ten million yuan and want to lose eight million yuan. They kill pigs and bleed for the New Year, regardless of what will happen in the future. Relatively speaking, Hong Kong and Taiwan filmmakers are trustworthy.
However, Huo Dong thought again, this kind of thing is to pay tuition fees. Maybe Bingfeng Film and Television and Wang Zui are willing to fight, and the other are willing to suffer? There is no need to do anything to do at all, so let's take a look at the content of the script first...
...
Looking at Huo Dong's serious expression, Huo Qin never got tired of watching it, and the more she looked, the more she became happy in her heart. But as time passed, she felt something was wrong?
Did you get something wrong? I am shocking you, a silly child! Why did you really study scripts? In the future, when you become the vice president, how many scripts will you not have? You can even let those screenwriters line up to customize for you.
Forget it, since this silly kid likes to watch it, then continue watching it!
...
The first thing Huo Dong read was an art film script. The notes were clearly stated in the notes. This film was not for profit, but for awards. It can win honors for Bingfeng Film and Television and gain a good reputation in the industry. Of course, no one is fully sure, and it can only be said to be very promising.
Let’s not mention the story. Huo Dong found that like Xie Yun and others’ art films, they were just gray and depressing. Please, now it’s the turn of old Europe to be confused, and the trend of the world has long changed. Even if someone can make a fancy film, the probability of winning the award is ignored.
It must have been passed away. Huo Dong lost interest.
Next comes the costume martial arts film. It should be said that the costume martial arts films in Hong Kong and Taiwan were once popular and were indeed their expertise. However, when filming "Dream of the Martial Arts", Huo Dong and the four-piece team analyzed in detail and finally proved that their conclusion was correct - in fact, the audience likes to watch hero movies. Cosmopolitan movies are also outdated, just like Western denim movies.
Huo Dong then looked through the content and found that there was nothing new. It was the old trick of family, country and hatred. He just wanted to invite the old action superstars who were in the sixth place. So he also decided to pass it.
Next is a Republican style action romance comedy war blockbuster? Good guy! Huo Dong looked at the budget and found that it was as high as 165 million. It can be said that from the plot point, this film seems to have all kinds of top-notch elements, and it was forcibly made into a hodgepodge. Even the garbage is not as good as it is.
But from another perspective, this screenwriter is actually quite amazing. There are many characters here, which can easily make stars. The audience has all kinds of plots they want, and the fans also have idols they want. As long as they use it as an idol movie and just click on the audience's G-point, they may become a big and popular movie.
