Chapter 208, Retreat

After dinner, Hao Fu came to check his son and left after dinner.

Hao Huan looked at the dishes and chopsticks and other things and had a headache, so he simply called Wang Lexin and said, "Come here to wash the dishes and explain some things you need to pay attention to in the new movie!"

After saying that, Hao Huan hung up the phone directly. Wang Lexin was a little embarrassed and nervous when she received the call, but Hao Huan didn't give her a chance to react, so she had to come over nervously.

Dingdong...

Not long after, the doorbell rang.

Hao Huan frowned and walked over. Did his father turn back and check it out?

Be convinced!

Hao Huan had nothing to say about such a father, but when he opened the door, he found that it was Wang Lexin standing at the door, he was even more speechless!

"Didn't you give you the key? What doorbell is ringing!"

Wang Lexin said nervously: "I...I forgot to bring it."

She was actually afraid that Hao Huan's father would misunderstand again! Otherwise, how would she explain the fact that she has the house key?

Hao Huan naturally knew that Wang Lexin didn’t forget to bring the key, but he was too lazy to expose it. He said, “There are still left in chicken soup and hairy crabs. After you finish eating, wash the dishes and chopsticks, and then go to the study to find me!”

"oh……"

Wang Lexin leaned into her head and walked in. Hao Huan looked at this guy's guilty look and patted the back of her head angrily.

"It's normal! My dad is gone!"

"All right……"

Wang Lexin breathed a sigh of relief. Since she was leaving, it would be easy, otherwise she would always feel like she was holding a knife around her neck.

"Like a stupid pig!"

Hao Huan complained and walked into the study, turned on the computer and typed the keyboard, writing about the things to pay attention to when preparing for the filming of the movie "The God of Death", as well as the suggestions and requirements of the starring staff.

Wang Lexin did not waste food. She didn't eat enough for dinner before, so when she finally had no pressure, she launched a clean plate action, ate all the meals, drank all the soup and then went to clean the kitchen with satisfaction, clean the dishes, chopsticks, pots and plates.

After finishing, she walked into the study and waited for Hao Huan to explain the precautions for the new movie.

At this time, Hao Huan suddenly asked with a line from Officer Huang in "Infernal Affairs": "What do you think of me?"

"ah?"

Wang Lexin became nervous inexplicably and stammered: "You...you are...you are...very."

So, is this sending a good person card?

Hao Huan sneered, too lazy to scare Wang Lexin anymore, and officially said: "I will give you 300 million yuan in this movie as the production cost! The requirements are not high, and the global total box office is enough to exceed 2 billion! This is considered the first truly internationally-accepted movie except "Saw 2", you can master the right measure yourself!"

In fact, judging from the name of the character, Wang Lexin roughly saw that this is a movie aimed at the international market.

Because of the name of the character in this movie, Hao Huan was too lazy to think about the name of the original work, so he directly used the name of the original work.

After Wang Lexin went back, she read the script for an hour, and she was generally clear about what kind of story this movie tells.

[High school student Alex and his classmates boarded a plane to the Romantic Capital. All passengers had boarded the plane and fastened their seat belts. The plane was about to take off, and Alex suddenly had a strong ominous premonition. He seemed to see the plane exploded in the air shortly after it took off, turning into a ball of fire.

So Alex, in fear, made a big fuss, causing everyone to leave the plane, which triggered a melee in the cabin.

Finally, seven passengers, including Alex, were driven out of the cabin.

After returning to the airport, Alex was surrounded by six other passengers, including his friends Billy and Todd, a young girl named Claire, Carter and his girlfriend Terry, who had fought with Alex, and Luton, a female teacher who volunteered to stay and take care of students such as Alex.

Just as people were furious about not being able to fly to the Romantic Capital, Alex's terrible premonition was tragically confirmed!

The plane exploded violently in the air, and no one on the plane survived to death! In addition to shock, the survivors were very worried about how Alex foresaw the tragedy.

Some people are very interested in his special abilities, but most people are very scared.

Federal police also came to interrogate Alex, but Alex felt extremely guilty and puzzled. He wanted to forget the tragedy and return to normal life.

But what Alex saw was the coming death!

Survivors began to die one after another, with a very strange cause.

Alex finally understood that death cannot be deceived. He and his friends must unite to change his destiny.

The above is the main plot of "The God of Death" that Wang Lexin generally learned.

As Hao Huan said, this is the first movie in her directorial career that can be truly internationally accepted in the sense of "Saw 2"!

Because the theme and style of the movie are no longer cater to the domestic market, just like "Saw 2", although the box office in China is not bad, it cannot be as explosive as pure domestic films like "Infernal Affairs". However, for the foreign market, the theme style and plot of "Saw 2" are particularly popular and have achieved considerable box office results.

Wang Lexin asked expectantly and a little nervously: "Boss, am I looking for a foreigner to the actor?"

“No need!”

Hao Huan said: "Although the characters in the script are all foreign names, they don't have to be played by foreigners! In addition, the script is dead and the director is alive! The name is just a code name, whether it is Zhang San and Li Si or Wang Ermazi, anyway, this character is the same, and the name cannot change him!

You can name these leading roles by yourself when you go back. Anyway, the translation is more suitable at that time, and it sounds pleasant."

Wang Lexin asked: "Then is this movie made into a 3D movie or a 2D movie?"

"It's okay as you like, 3d and 2d, it's not the point. The point is that you have to remember how to shoot this movie and where to pay attention to! And this is also something I must remind you to remember it!"

Hao Huan looked at his briefly prepared shooting plan and told Wang Lexin how to prepare for the filming of "The God of Death is Coming". This movie is a big test for Wang Lexin.

Therefore, Hao Huan's requirements are not high, the production cost is 300 million yuan, and the global box office is only 2 billion yuan.

Because the higher the difficulty, the greater the risk. "Death is Coming" is different from "Saw 2", which requires higher directorial abilities. "Saw 2" made by Wang Lexin actually has many problems, but minor problems are harmless. Therefore, under the premise of the popularity of "Saw 1", "Saw 2" will be a big hit in the box office in North America and receive more than 4 billion global box offices.

But it’s hard to say "The God of Death is Coming". If "Saw 2" is a movie that opens low and goes high, then "The God of Death is Coming high and you don’t know if you can go high.

Because the production cost is high, the shooting is difficult, and the director's directing ability is high, the process is easy to fail.

This is also why many domestic movies with production costs of only tens of millions of yuan can get a box office of hundreds of millions of yuan, while many of those movies with production costs of as high as 300 million yuan cannot even reach a box office of 1 billion, thus losing money.

There are many problems. One is that the production level is improved, but the director level is insufficient, so the filming is boring, or the cost is spent on actor pay and scene props, which leads to post-production being dragged down, and the viewing experience is disgusting.

But these problems are all problems of the producer and director!

If it were filming by himself, Hao Huan was very confident in the movie "The God of Death". Not to mention that it could have a box office of 10 billion yuan, but he was definitely confident that the global total box office could exceed 5 billion yuan.

Think about a movie with a production cost of 300 million yuan, but it earned 5 billion yuan. The money made her peers so envious and jealous that her eyes turned red!

...

After a while, Wang Lexin listened carefully to Hao Huan's instructions on the work matters and filming suggestions, and felt even more pressure on the next movie.

But only with pressure can you have motivation!

She is eager to try now and wants to start shooting the movie immediately!

Half a year has passed, and finally there is a movie that can let herself go and direct it herself. She is very excited now.

She hadn't felt this way before.

Since she achieved good ratings in the first TV series "Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai", she has won a box office of up to 1.1 billion yuan after her first movie "Happy Ghost" cost less than 20 million yuan, she suddenly fell in love with the profession of director!

Perhaps, Hao Huan's mood is the same? That's why he gave up inheriting billions of property and insisted on making movies.

After spending half an hour explaining all the things that Wang Lexin needs to pay attention to, Hao Huan reminded one or two details that cannot be ignored, and then he stopped talking about them.

After all, no matter how much you say, Wang Lexin, the pig brain, can't digest it.

Moreover, he could not feed Wang Lexin into a fat pig at once, so he must be patient in raising pigs and need to invest "pig feed" day after day to allow her to slowly absorb and digest it.

Hao Huan was not in a hurry. Thinking about the first movie directed by her four years in college, she was not very good!

Compared with Wang Lexin's first film directed by him, he expressed shame.

However, Wang Lexin's progress is inseparable from him. Wang Lexin's director experience and professional level were all trained by Hao Huan. Moreover, Hao Huan did not reserve at all. He instilled all his experience and knowledge as a director to Wang Lexin. Therefore, Wang Lexin's progress is very great. Except for his talent in this area, everything else is his contribution!

This is an undisputed fact!

After hearing Hao Huan's instructions, Wang Lexin asked: "Boss, I'll shoot a new movie next, what about you?"

Hao Huan looked up at 45 degrees and said, "The things I'm going to be busy with next will be awesome!"

Wang Lexin said curiously: "What's the matter?"

Hao Huan smiled: "Guess?"

Wang Lexin guessed: "Is it the post-production of "I Have a Date with a Zombie"?"

Hao Huan shook his head: "Ha, what's the important thing!"

"Is it about Good Luck Pictures?"

Wang Lexin heard Hao Huan's father talk about the development of Hao Lun Film and asked Hao Huan how Hao Lun Film and how Hao Lun Film will operate and develop better in the future.

However, Hao Huan shook his head and said, "Forget it, you can't guess it! I'll tell you! I'll be in seclusion for a while next!"

“Secretary?”

Wang Lexin was stunned. Why did this sound like cultivating an immortal?

Is there really a cultivator in this world?

She thought of such a stupid question for some reason, and her eyes suddenly became a little weird when she looked at Hao Huan.

Hao Huan was staring at her eyes so hard that she couldn't be natural: "Your expression is stupid again, right? What I mean by retreat is not to cultivate immortality! It is to enrich the director's ability! Going back to learn more director knowledge!"

Wang Lexin was stunned again!

I didn't even speak, how did he know that I understood that he wanted to cultivate immortality? Could it be that he still knows how to read the mind?
Chapter completed!
