Disaster Artist

Chapter 342: 1 half 1 half

In fact, about the "blacklist", at least one thing insiders is correct:

Lu Qian really hopes to open up the situation for Blue Whale Pictures through this plan.

For the vast majority of writers, directors, and producers, this program can earn them a second chance and some level of recognition; for other studios, Blue Whale Pictures will provide this list for free , in a sense, it provides a reference material for them to save time and effort.

It is Lu Qian's original intention to hope to dig out more novel works that break the narrative routine and build a streaming media platform for Blue Whale Films. Networking is also the reason why Lu Qian promotes this thankless job.

Otherwise, the foundation of Blue Whale Films is too shallow. If you want to quickly gain a firm foothold against Liuguang Films and Yunxiang Entertainment, it is not enough to rely on Lu Qian alone, even if Lu Qian's third directorial work is shortlisted for the Weihai Film Festival. The competition unit is still not enough, and individual strength is too insignificant in the face of capital.

However, this task requires patience and energy, and Lu Qian did not rush it.

Lu Qian's own mission and the "blacklist" have the same goal in different ways, but they are slightly different. He needs to first select the projects he thinks have potential from hundreds of projects, and then build a streaming media platform for Blue Whale Pictures to produce the first one. A batch of works-

Mainly TV shows.

It is precisely because Lu Qian's eyes are focused on TV dramas that his work is relatively much easier, because the main contributors to the "Blacklist Project" are still movies, and Jiang Haowen and the others are now mainly busy with movies.

Despite this, Lu Qian still spent a month reviewing the script.

Reading the script is very exhausting, and he can't just flip through five or ten pages to make a judgment, otherwise this way of reading is no different from that of a large film company, which also means that the reading must go into twenty pages, three Ten pages, and reading must be kept carefully at the same time, it is difficult to dig out treasures at a glance and ten lines.

In the first round of reading, Lu Qian selected more than a dozen items; in the second round of rough reading, Lu Qian selected six more items, and only after comprehensive consideration and judgment did he issue an invitation.

First of all, it must be admitted that the scripts abandoned by large film companies are indeed flawed to a large extent, and they are also slanted, and there are reasons for them to be abandoned and hidden.

Therefore, whether these works are worth investing in, whether they can guarantee the quality after the investment, and whether they can win the love of the audience after they are launched, every step is a mad dance at the tip of the knife.

Tonight's party is an important link to further help Lu Qian complete his judgment.

"...So, is there a decision?"

Ji Xu finally finished tidying up the room. Although he was a little tired, he felt relieved and sat down with his legs crossed beside Lu Qian.

Lu Qian tilted his head and thought about it.

"We can choose two out of four and shoot two projects at the same time, and we should have no problem."

Looking through the projects scattered on the ground in front of him, Lu Qian found the first script and handed it to Ji Xu, and then continued to search for the second project. At the same time, Ji Xu's slightly unexpected voice came over.

"It's a 'strange thing'? I thought those two brothers completely ruined everything today."

Lu Qian chuckled, "They really ruined the conversation, they are not suitable for conversation, their expressions are pointless, and they are always looking at me, which makes me worry that the story may be too trivial after the drama is laid out. So much so that it disrupts the rhythm of the episode."

"But in retrospect, in fact, their grasp of the core of the show is accurate, to a certain extent, it is their own memories of the 1980s, which is very important for the show, because they have experienced that era, those movies The TV, the pop culture, the moments of life that permeate every aspect of the show, and I think that's going to be the key to the show's success."

Lu Qian's words made Ji Xu slightly raise his eyebrows, "So strictly speaking, their restraint and brokenness are the key to the drama's recognition?"

Lu Qian laughed directly, without positive affirmation or denial, "It is certain that they are geeks who like retro culture. If such people invest in artistic creation, they will often be able to come up with more fantastic ideas."

"Strange Things" tells a story. In the distant 1980s, in a remote mountainous area with poor mountains and bad waters, a little boy disappeared inexplicably. When friends, family members and the police were looking for answers, they were successively involved in An extraordinary mystery involves top-secret official experiments, terrifying supernatural powers, and a little girl whose identity is impossible to determine.

The most special part of the series is that the entire atmosphere, story and details throughout reflect the shadow of pop culture in the 1980s, including those science fiction movies, horror movies, musical movies, etc. that were popular on the big screen. , even the story has a taste of the 1980s.

Obviously, the brothers Feng Li and Feng Lei should be fanatics of the culture of the 1980s.

This is the feature of the series and also the short board of the series-

The narrative style of the 1980s has long been eliminated by the times. After all, it was already forty years ago. It is difficult for a similar narrative style to attract the attention of the audience. Who wants a story that seems to be acquainted again and again? What happens in three places? And the retro features of the '80s aren't welcome either.

In the eyes of major TV stations and production companies, "Strange Thing" appears to be old-fashioned and boring, and every detail exudes a rotten and outdated breath of death. At first glance, it is known that it is a street project.

Moreover, the Feng Li and Feng Lei brothers are not good at speaking otaku, and even Lu Qian's spring-like conversation style makes them stumbling, so you can imagine the scene when they went to the TV station to explain the project.

It should be mentioned that the two brothers are newcomers in the industry. They have also jointly shot a low-cost horror movie before, but they have not been able to create miracles like "unfriending". Almost no one has heard of it. It is also difficult for a net resume to be the key to knocking on the door of a TV station.

Therefore, UU reading www.uukanshu.com Feng Li and Feng Lei have also been rejected countless times. They have heard "no" countless times in the past eight months, so that the two brothers have to start accepting each other in order to make ends meet. Shooting commercials, they are really cornered now.

Until Lu Qian called.

In fact, in Lu Qian's view, "Strange Things" is the most complete of all projects. There are no problems in the plot, characters, core, etc., and it can be directly put into filming without much modification, although Feng Li and Feng Lei The two brothers are inexperienced, but from the script it can be seen that they have two brushes.

"So, do you think the retro trend will resume?" Ji Xu immediately understood Lu Qian's thoughts.

Lu Qian nodded, "I believe that the retro trend is about to pick up, starting with this work."

Ji Xushun lowered his gaze to the script in his hand, and Lu Qian couldn't help showing a surprised look.
