350 Compromise

In early July, summer vacation is approaching, and the sixth project planning meeting of "Fighting Club" was launched. There is no way to do it if you invest 500 million yuan. Given the previous tragedy of "My Fair Lady" first and then suppression, the 42-year-old new boss Zhong Shi insists on doing it himself, and must finalize every point before signing and starting the filming.

At this time, Lu Jian also had his own team and no longer had to fight alone. Although he was constantly arguing about several planning meetings, Zhong Shi controlled the stability of the project and Lu Jian's freedom well. He was very particular and could be called a hard-working filmmaker.

Before the meeting, everyone smiled and congratulated Lu Jian.

After all, Yimao is also a company that was cheated by Dameiling. It is a small loss and embarrassing person. The former boss's project control is not good, and it is a waste of money. Huang Meiling is overshadowed and forced to resign. All those who have handled the "My Fair Lady" project cannot raise their heads.

When Huang Meiling married Harvey in a blink of an eye, they all hated her teeth.

When they saw the punishment of God, they also let out a sigh of anger.

"Congratulations, who was retribution."

"I heard you refused Harvey's push to Oscars for "Lady", which is wise!"

"Da Meiling is so great, she helped you get the chance."

Lu Jian had no choice but to give him a fist.

"There is no need to be a good match for the match."

Everyone was happy and sat down to talk about the important things.

Lu Jian learned a lot from Lu Kun, and the most critical skill is PPT blowjob.

Blowing obscure into suspense and seducing people's hearts.

Blow violent blood into a big action scene, and blood is swelling.

Then blow schizophrenia into a big reversal, and applauding.

Finally, we ended with reverse thinking. At that time, you didn’t look down on musicals, and didn’t you make any profit in the end? This type of thing has never appeared in mainland China. Don’t be afraid. Come, follow me to invest in one, and you can share the money after investing, then develop the offline, then develop the offline, and count the money in the future.

Under such packaging, "Fighting Club" seems to have good commercial value.

But compared to the quality of the movie, Yimao is more worried about the review.

The ultimate theme of this movie is "release of freedom", which shows many violent elements. The protagonist's split personality and serious antisocial tendencies are like drawing the big mouth of the reviewer.

So, the compromise began. Every meeting was a compromise on the plot. Zhong Shi invited a special review consultant throughout the whole process. As long as he nodded, Lu Jian would do whatever he wanted.

The other party is so serious, with both attitude and hard work. This time he really wants to make a good movie. In this case, Lu Jian did not dare to fool him to death. He really made a movie that could not be released at all. This is too much. His physical album store on Yimao platform should be locked up.

In addition, he felt that Zhong Shi was a reliable person and couldn't bear to cheat him. The four-dimensional observations he secretly also made people feel good about it—

【Caramour: 81】

【Resources: 82】

【Methods: 8】

【Business: 78】

Finally, I met a manager who was even less capable than Wade, so I had to cherish it.

Such a person who has no means to get to this point will probably have to work twice as hard.

So the plan gradually changed, and Lu Jian subconsciously began to move towards "public acceptance". After all, after working for two lifetimes, how to master the public's impression has been integrated into his instinct. The excessively extreme design has been cut off, and the narrative has also strengthened the storyline and reduced abruptness.

The texture of the movie has gradually changed from "extremely cool" to "very cool", which has strengthened the suspense, weakened the antisocial tendency, and changed from wild freedom to restrained freedom.

However, the quality must still be there. You can compromise on the review, but you cannot compromise on the quality. If you compromise too much, it will become too LOW and it is time to sell the top spot again, but you must not sell the top spot.

It is best to recover the cost and earn a lot of reputation, so that everyone can do it. After the compromise, the budget for the script has been reduced to less than 200 million. In this way, the 300 million box office guarantee is enough, and there is no more.

Lu Jian became the first director to subjectively control the box office, which is much more difficult than selling top spots.

The day passed again, and it was common to drive until 10 o'clock in the evening. Having a late-night snack together has become a must-have program. The food stalls outside the industrial park have become a fixed dining place. The others gathered two tables, and Lu Jian and Zhong Shi sat alone on a small table.

Zhong Shi mixed the peppers into the fried noodles and said, "I thought you were very difficult to deal with, but it was not bad. Thank you for your compromise."

Lu Jian smiled with beef brisket on and said, "There is no way to do it. It's too absolute to review such things. Thank you for your absolute freedom to pass the review."

"It's not about giving freedom, it's really good. They are all geniuses and wonderful ideas." Zhong Shi nodded, "It's definitely not a compliment. I've been doing movies for so many years and know what good movies are."

The beer also came up now. Each person took a bottle and Lu Jian directly raised the bottle: "Good movie."

"respect."

Gudong Gudong and the other two drank half a bottle, and at the same time, they breathed a long breath. It was still refreshing to have a cold beer in summer.

Lu Jian put down the beer and burped: "To be honest, you are also the best-looking filmmaker I have ever met. I really lead the movie on the right path, not to make trouble."

"Hahaha, it's such an honor to be said by Director Lu Da!" Zhong Shijue clinked glasses with Lu Jian again, and drank them all in one go. Maybe he drank too hard, so he retching a few times.

Lu Jian quickly put down his cup, "Be happy, you're not a young man anymore."

"It's okay, it's okay." Zhong Shi coughed a few times and said with a forced smile. "It's time to do projects. If you meet good ones, you won't even sleep well at night."

"Actually not that good..."

"You mean box office, right?" Zhong Shi shook his head and smiled, "It's almost done if I change it like this. Although I promised a billion to the boss, my goal is to make a profit."

"Please stop talking, I can't stand the Virgin." Lu Jian avoided his head.

"I'm sorry, I'm smirking," Zhong Shi said, "How to call Virgin Mary, someone must do a good job in the movies seriously and believe in the audience's vision. It's okay."

As he was talking, his phone rang, his expression suddenly became serious, and he stood up to avoid two steps to answer the phone.

Lu Jian couldn't hear what he was saying, but he felt that his attitude was humble and kept nodding and sorry.

This is normal. This person has a very good attitude and is killed by being angry.

When Zhong Shi came back and sighed, Lu Jiancai asked, "My lover urges you to go home?"

"No, no, no, Zhujing knows that I'm busy and never calls." Zhong Shi shook his head and smiled bitterly, "It's the big boss."

"The big boss of your entire group?"

"Yeah." Zhong Shi said that, he drank two more sips of wine, then lowered the chopsticks, "Eat."
