Disaster Artist

Seeing Ji Xu's surprised expression, Lu Qian couldn't help laughing. He temporarily put down the script and thought about it seriously.

"Student Ji, look, everyone says that fashion is a cycle. Those fashions that were once abandoned by the trend will become popular again after going around."

"Do you know why?"

Ji Xu rolled his eyes very honestly, "Because they are all messing around."

"Haha, this is also the correct answer." Lu Qian smiled happily, "But in my opinion, on the one hand, innovation requires taking risks and breaking stereotypes, so the success rate is relatively low; on the other hand, it is because Retro reincarnation can touch the memories of a previous generation."

"Look, in the 1980s, white T-shirts and jeans were so popular. If you paired them with sunglasses, leather jackets and motorcycles, you would be the perfect dream lover. Every boy fantasizes about riding a motorcycle. Every girl dreams of a boy waiting for him at the school gate with his motorcycle parked."

Lu Qian's words made Ji Xu laugh. At that time, a series of Young and Dangerous movies were popular all over the world, and they also dedicated many classic love movies. At that time, young boys and girls were deeply affected, including hairstyles, Music, lines, etc. have swept the streets and become a craze.

"Don't tell me that you also pestered your family to buy a motorcycle back then?" Ji Xu's face was speechless, but her smile couldn't help but rise.

In fact, Lu Qian and Ji Xu missed the 1980s. When they were born, the wave had passed its peak, and a new trend had emerged. However, in childhood memories, it is inevitable to see that the 1980s remained in the 1990s. The shadow of the decade, the memory is still deep.

Lu Qian pursed his lips, "I don't have a motorcycle, but I stole Dad's leather jacket and sunglasses and tried them on."

The two both laughed.

"Look, for a long, long time, these things are no longer popular, but when the two of us talk again, the memories of the year will be awakened, which is an irreplaceable emotional resonance. So, every other After a while, the retro trend will come back.”

Lu Qian went on and explained his understanding of the retro trend.

Ji Xu thought about it seriously, and his expression was a little strange.

"It sounds like that, but why do I always feel like I've been abducted into a ditch by you."

Lu Qian didn't deny it either, and said with a face full of reason, "If I sell kidnapping, will you buy it?"

Ji Xu directly returned a middle finger.

Lu Qian laughed cheerfully, "I mean, fashion, movies and other cultures are like this. The aesthetics they represent are of contemporary significance, but at the same time, the memories and emotions they carry are irreplaceable, so they Always come back because we can't help but miss the past."

Movies and fashion, like fashion, both have the same purpose.

Ji Xu raised his jaw slightly and thought for a moment, "You mean, 'strange things' can reawaken people's nostalgia for pop culture in the 1980s?"

"Yes." Lu Qian simply affirmed.

"The whole story, from the setting to the characters to the background, is completely the routine of horror sci-fi movies in the 1980s. We suspect that there are aliens, and we suspect that the government knows the truth and is studying aliens and superpowers. Developed tools to explore, but still full of curiosity about the unknown world.”

"Student Ji, there have been no similar stories in the industry for a long, long time."

Ji Xu looked at Lu Qian with a contented look in his eyes, and shook his head speechlessly, "That's because everyone thinks such stories are outdated."

So no one wants to invest in making this work.

"But I agree with you." Ji Xu said, "Fashion is a boomerang, and it will come back eventually. Each of us will miss our youth. Maybe, it's time to make a retro-style film and television. works."

It is precisely because of this that Lu Qian has the most confidence in "strange things" in many works. After talking with the two brothers Feng Li and Feng Lei tonight, he is more certain of this.

Although the two brothers are not good at words, their love for culture, movies and retro trends are all poured into the series "Stranger Things"-

It's always been the case with otaku, if you like something, you like it wholeheartedly, pouring all your passion into it.

Ji Xu thought for a while, and then continued, "Maybe it would be a wise choice to use 'strange things' to start the streaming media, after all, audiences who have experienced the 1980s are now in their 20s and 40s. Left and right, they are the main consumers of the entire market, and they are also the most valued viewing group by advertisers.”

As a producer, Ji Xu has to think about the market and the rate of return.

However, what Ji Xu likes most about Lu Qian is that although commercial interests are not the first thing Lu Qian considers, Lu Qian will not reject it. On the contrary, when Lu Qian considers a project, he will more or less always It is hoped that the creativity and ideas of the project can arouse the resonance of the public.

Thinking of this, "Is this in the same vein as the 'raid'?" Ji Xu discovered a key point.

Lu Qian was stunned, "I didn't think so, but in a sense, they all represent the influence of past culture on my creative thinking."

"The Raid" shows the glamour of retro action movies, so does "Stranger Things" have the glamour of '80s sci-fi movies/TV?

Ji Xu's eyes fell on Lu Qian's hand, "So, what does this mean?"

Lu Qian took the opportunity to hand over the script to Ji Xu, "This is like 'unfriending', it represents the changes and challenges we have made on the basis of the existing genre."

The core of the story of "Unfriending" is very simple. It is still a thriller/horror movie brought about by school bullying, but through the change of the narrative mode of the computer desktop, it brings a brand new viewing experience.

And so is "Schmidt's Bay."

The core of the story is still the set of sitcoms, setting up a situation, setting up a group of characters with sharp characters, and then throwing them together to collide; but Lu Qian hopes to use the whole situation more subtly and bring into the narrative of the drama, so that the audience can Grow with the characters ~www.novelmt.com~ instead of being stuck in that sitcom "scenario" forever.

Ji Xu listened briefly, and the first thought that popped into his mind was, "Is this the new era version of 'Growing Pains'?"

Lu Qian thought for a while, "You can understand it as the adult world version of 'the troubles of life'."

Seeing Lu Qian's serious nonsense, Ji Xu also thought about it seriously, and then said with a serious expression as if the doctor was discussing the feasibility of surgery, "It seems that this is indeed feasible."

But... Ji Xu's answer is not funny, it's not nonsense at all, but telling the truth, the joke will naturally lose its meaning, and it's not meant to be joking, but expressing opinions with real guns.

Lu Qian burst out laughing, "Student Ji, you really have no sense of humor."

Ji Xu has black lines all over his head.
