Disaster Artist

Film companies are always watching industry trends, and directors are also an integral part.

A director like Lu Qian, who has two consecutive works that ushered in a box office explosion, can not only be well known to the public, but also enter the sight of the film company. Generally speaking, there are two possibilities for development.

One is that the director brings his own brand-new project and looks for investment from seven major film companies. Thanks to the previous success, the possibility of successful financing is greatly improved. But because Lu Qian had already created Blue Whale Pictures himself, this choice was naturally postponed a little and was no longer a priority.

One is that the film company takes the lead in setting up the project and then screening the directors. In their waiting list, the frequency of Lu Qian's name will inevitably increase, and the position on the list should also rise with the tide. The most important thing is to seize the opportunity. Lu Qian has just risen but has not really become a big name in the blank period, and seeks cooperation in a cost-effective way.

However, Lu Qian is relatively special, because the shadow of the streamer film industry has not disappeared. Those film companies do not need to act with the eyes of the streamer film industry, but they need to judge the risk-benefit ratio of cooperation with Lu Qian, so they or More or less still watching the situation.

Jiang Haowen should be the first to break the deadlock.

However, Jiang Haowen's dispatch, does this mean that the door film industry has decided not to worry about the streamer film industry?

The industry still hasn't heard any rumors about Damen Films and Liuguang Films, and Lu Qian naturally has no way of knowing, but it can still be judged from the matter of "unfriending" that Damen Films should be concerned, but now , have those concerns gone?

In the blink of an eye, half a year has passed, and the industry should be turbulent again.

Jiang Haowen did not continue to sell off.

"The director really has a keen sense of smell. We have a special project on hand now. We want to invite the director to helm the director, but we don't know if the director is interested?"

"The Raid" is still in theaters, and the film companies are still watching, especially to see how the streamer will react after "Journey of Ice and Fire 3" is suppressed by the "raid"? Or how high can the final box office of "raid" reach, and can the potential shown by Lu Qian break the upper limit?

After all, the two works "Unfriend" and "Raid" are successful, but the styles are very unique, with dark and **** cool tones throughout. If Lu Qian is invited to shoot mainstream commercial blockbusters, will he still be able to maintain his own characteristics? At the same time, how about catering to the aesthetics of the general public?

The tone of most commercial popcorn blockbusters is bright and family-friendly, and parents and children can appreciate and enjoy.

On the one hand, the covetousness of the streamer film industry is on the one hand, and the style conflict is on the other hand.

Therefore, the film company has noticed Lu Qian, but no one has been dispatched for the time being.

Damen Pictures has once again become the first outlier to break the deadlock. Anyway, those concerns are not a problem for them; as for the once crucial distribution channel, the negotiations have once again reached a deadlock, and Damen Pictures can only be heard. Sigh, this is definitely not the situation they want to see.

Lu Qian didn't respond in a hurry, flattered, but adjusted his sitting position and looked like he was listening.

Jiang Haowen was encouraged and immediately cut to the introduction.

"We got a scripted project that, strictly speaking, should be a thriller, but it's not just a thriller."

"In a city, there is such a small group, they think that the system has collapsed, justice has not been served, and good people have been hurt; while those bad people can get away with it, and they can hire a team of lawyers with high salaries to escape charges for themselves. , so this group of people became the messengers of justice.”

The story here is actually very common. "Urban Justice Messenger" has seen too many movies and episodes. In fact, Batman's story was like this at the beginning, relying on his own ability to punish evil and promote good.

"But during the enforcement process, things got out of hand and they killed the wrong person."

"Because they found the wrong house number, they killed the innocent neighbor next to the bad guy, and the team began to have differences and split into two small groups."

"At the same time, there were many more people in the city who were encouraged and inspired to decide to do justice in their own way, and the city went into flames."

"The story goes back to this small team. One of the small teams believes that their approach is correct. Even if innocent people are accidentally injured, they should continue. For the overall situation, these sacrifices are acceptable."

"The other team believes that they have crossed the line. If harming the innocent is also rationalized, then the legal and moral system will collapse, and everyone can perform justice that does not exist according to their own standards."

"Punish evil and promote good, so how should the boundaries of good and evil be defined? Who should decide?"

Jiang Haowen's words were endless, and the more he spoke, the more excited he became. The whole idea was presented in front of Lu Qian, so much that Lu Qian couldn't help but let out a sigh.

"Wow!"

Really amazing!

The trend of the story is very interesting, especially in the second half, the perspective moves from the individual to the public, showing the chaos after the rules and boundaries are broken, and then throws the thinking space to the audience. How should we define "justice"?

Jiang Haowen saw the excitement in Lu Qian's eyes, and he also became happy.

"Really? Yes, yes, yes!"

"Director, such a project, from thriller to bloody, and then spiraling up to the core of the entire theme, is very difficult to control. We think only you can do it."

However, Jiang Haowen shook his head slightly after seeing Lu Qian's contemplative expression very unexpectedly——

What's wrong? Any questions?

Lu Qian's thoughts were still running fast, discussing while thinking.

"From the perspective of the context of the story, this squad should be the protagonist. They decided to eliminate those who seek personal gain under the pretext of justice in order to maintain order. The climax of the third act should be the plasma burst, and they even need to eliminate them. The little friends who used to be side by side."

Jiang Haowen nodded in affirmation, this is indeed the direction of the script.

"But ~www.novelmt.com~ If you look at the essence through the phenomenon, their final move is to admit that their original conception is wrong, they can't seek justice in private, they still need to follow the rules and follow the system, justice still needs To be constant by law, this act is not only not rebellious, but the demise of the rebellious spirit."

"From the perspective of the film's conception, it is equivalent to the creator's self-denial, and it can also be regarded as a script for the rebellious youth to be recruited."

"If this is a movie that promotes positive energy, or a religious belief movie, it should be very interesting, but if it is a movie that tries to use blood plasma and violence to detonate adrenaline, the audience will be happy after watching the movie. However, When you calm down, you start to contradict yourself.”

"It's like something is not quite right, but you can't tell why."

"The lack of self-consistency at the logical level is a fatal injury."

Jiang Haowen's expression: "O".

He opened his mouth, kept it round, and looked at Lu Qian in disbelief, unable to say a word.
