1867 [God of Gamblers]

The 1980s of the World Pictures has been in frequent movements since the beginning.

Three movies, "The Man of Huang Feihong Should Be Self-reliant", "The Woman Forty", and "The Smiling, Proud Wanderer", have been put into filming, and there are also many movies in preparation.

Wang Jing, Wu Yusen, Chen Jiashang, Liu Zhenwei and others all found Xia Tian with the newly written scripts, hoping that the boss could review it.

The scripts Wang Jing obtained include "The Fortune Stars Break into the World", "Ghost Course", "Wow Ghost Co., Ltd.", "The Three Wolf Clan of Hardcovers", "Specialized Fishing for Big Crocodiles", etc.

His idea was to cast a wide net, and to get one is one.

Because Tianxia Pictures implements a system of more work and more income, directors not only earn only when filming movies, but also can participate in box office sharing. Therefore, the more movies are filmed and the higher the box office is sold, the more money the director earns, which greatly stimulates their motivation.

In addition, if the movie is recognized, the director can also receive a considerable bonus. This is mainly to take care of art directors such as Kwan Jinpeng, Zhang Wan-cheon, and Wang Jiawei.

Chen Jiashang took two scripts, one was "The Little Man's Weekly Diary" and the other was "The Urban Judge". Liu Zhenwei brought "The Ghost Building" and "The King of Kings Fortune". Wu Yusen only brought one script, "Bloody Street".

...

After watching Xia Tian one by one, he chose Chen Jiashang's "The Little Man's Weekly Diary", Liu Zhenwei's "The Ghost Building" and Wu Yusen's "Bloody Street". As for Wang Jing's script, he chose none of them.

The reason for this is mainly because none of the scripts he brought good.

"Fu Xing Bings in the World" is a follow-up work in the Five Fortune Stars series. It tells the story of several lucky stars accidentally involved in the Black X revenge and finally helping the Black X boss Dai Geda to take revenge.

Compared with the wonderful Five Fortune Star series, this story seems vulgar and boring. Xia Tian naturally doesn't want it to smash its own signature. Because the Five Fortune Star series was created by him and cannot be slandered.

"Ghost Counseman" tells the story of Ling Zhaoxiang cheating while his wife was hospitalized while she was pregnant, and was hooked up by a female ghost, and then got into a family of evil ghosts. In order to save her life, she asked the master to protect her. Finally, after a fierce battle, she subdued the evil ghosts.

This is also a common trick of ghost movies. Even the ghost story "Painted Skin" in the Qing Dynasty was like this, so there is nothing new. Xia Tian remembers watching this movie in his previous life, which was a big bad movie. Only the heroine Guan Zhilin and Xia Wenxi were quite pleasing to the eye, and there was nothing else to be desired.

"Wagui Co., Ltd." tells the story of a company haunted, so the general manager invites the celestial master to come and teach employees the magic of catching ghosts. When men and women learn the law, they love each other and hook up with each other, and eventually become pairs and subdue evil ghosts. Simply put, it is a magical version of "Chasing Girls".

This kind of hodgepodge of ghosts, comedy and girls looks lively and rich in ingredients, but in fact, there is not enough flavor, it is purely a four-dimensional character.

"The Wolf Clan of Hardcover Girls 3" is the third part of the "The Wolf Clan of Hardcover Girls" series. It also tells the story of men chasing women, but compared with the first two, this one seems much boring and has nothing outstanding. So Xiatian killed this script.

"Fishing Big Crowd" tells the story of police officer Zhao Kuaile and his partner Sauce Gold hunting the four major robbers. The story is written quite lively, with both gun battles and car chase scenes, and even high-tech scenes of computer cracking passwords. It is also a good commercial feature film.

But unfortunately, Wang Jing still felt that commercialization was insufficient, so he added a lot of unnecessary funny plots to it, which made the originally tense and exciting police and gangster stories suddenly become a farce. In this way, a movie that could have become a fine product has become a vulgar and boring commercial popcorn film, which is a pity.

...

Seeing that Xia Tian had rejected all the scripts he brought, Wang Jing couldn't help but flush and was very embarrassed. You should know that although he didn't polish these scripts too carefully, he also took some thought. Not to mention, they all had to be more than 80, or at least 60 passed the pass line.

But unexpectedly, Xia Tian had such a high vision and didn't even like a single movie, which really made him have nowhere to put his fat face.

"Mr. Xia, aren't these scripts work?" Wang Jing asked depressedly.

"To be honest, it's just a little better in "Fishing Big Crowds", but it still needs to be overhauled. Delete those vulgar and boring funny things and put more effort into the showdown between police and gangsters." Xia Tian nodded and said, "The others are either following the trend or making a fussy meal.

Director Wang, I know that your strength is more than that. You should spend more time and polish a few fine films. You should know that a fine film can surpass three or four bad movies as a result of your income."

Wang Jing became more and more embarrassed when he heard what he said.

In fact, he also knows that if he makes a fine movie, if the box office exceeds 30 to 40 million, he will get more share, which is as good as his profit from making three or four bad movies.

But then again, it only takes half a year to make three or four bad movies, and on average, he can make a movie in one and a half months. However, to create a fine work, the script alone may take two or three months to polish. It takes another three or four months to shoot, and it will take half a year to add up.

Moreover, fine movies may not necessarily achieve high box office. There are so many movies that have always been well received but not popular, and there are countless. Therefore, instead of taking the risk of putting chips on a fine movie with uncertain future, it is better to invest in these bad movies. Although their returns are low, the risks are also very small, and they are almost certain to make a profit.

Wang Jing claimed to be smart, so he knew this truth, so he was too lazy to spend his time creating fine works, but he always focused on bad movies.

"Mr. Xia, my real level is actually so low. If you want a high-quality product, you can only rely on extraordinary performance." Wang Jing defended himself, "But I won't always perform very long. You have to allow me to have a low period. Maybe after I make one or two mediocre movies, I can make another high-quality product with inspiration."

"Okay, don't find reasons for yourself. I know everything about your skills. You are either unable to create high-quality works, you are just too careful and always want to make quick money, so you are too lazy to spend time creating." Xia Tian waved his hand and smiled when he saw him say this.

He knew that as long as the king was careful, he would produce excellent products. For example, "God of Gambling", "Gambling Man", "The Legend of Lei Luo in the Five Billion Inspector", "The Deer and the Cauldron", "Nine-rank Sesame Official", "Supreme", etc., were all created by him.

And the reason why he has so many bad movies is because he is busy making money. At most, he has to make ten movies a year, and even several movies are filmed at the same time.

It would be strange if you can produce high-quality products in this kind of work state. In comparison, how many years can be made by Wang Jiawei, that is called meticulous craftsmanship. Of course, summer does not hope that Wang Jing will become the second Wang Jiawei, but he does not want him to waste his talents on those bad movies. Even though he has many high-quality movies, he is still called the "king of bad movies."

"Mr. Xia..." Wang Jing blushed when he saw Xia Tian poking his little thoughts.
