Chapter 181
An Ran hung up the phone, very happy.
Unexpectedly, things went smoothly unexpectedly. It would be much easier to handle with these two.
For the rest, you can also look for less famous ones.
An Ran began to think about drawing circles again.
The phone rang again.
Huh? Who is this that rushes to the door to be deceived?
Jiang Tao?
Holding the phone, An Ran felt a little nervous. Old Jiang Tou must have realized that I was fooling him.
Feeling anxious, An Ran answered the phone.
"I forgot to tell you something!" Jiang Tao said with a smile: "I just went to tell you about the show, but I forgot to tell you about the real thing!"
Hearing this, An Ran breathed a sigh of relief.
Old Jiang, you are really a real person.
"What's the matter?" An Ran asked.
"There is an old friend here at the film and television base, Xu Haowen, do you know?"
An Ran recalled, "I know, what's wrong!"
It seems that Xu Haowen has not been very proud of himself in recent years. He has made a few films, but the reputation is not good and the box office is not good. He is a middle-to-lower director in the industry.
If I continue to mess around like this, I will probably have no choice but to do internet photography in the future.
But in his memory, it won't be long before Director Xu becomes famous.
It must have been at the end of the year that he accepted a call for a low-cost movie, which made a huge profit of 300 million at the box office after its release.
He suddenly became a popular director.
"He has a notebook in his hand that he is shooting. He has been shooting for more than ten days. But I looked at it and found that the idea of the notebook is quite clever, but I always feel that something is not quite right. If it is convenient, could you help him take a look?"
Xu Haowen?
An Ran frowned. It's not that we can't help with this matter. The key is that he has to be busy with variety shows now!
Huh? It seems like I can help too!
An Ran immediately grasped the key point and went to have a look. Maybe she would meet a celebrity and be tricked into participating in a variety show!
After hearing that An Ran didn't say anything for a while, Jiang Tao thought he didn't want to.
Just when he was about to speak, An Ran said: "Okay, we should still be at the film and television base? Then I'll go there tomorrow, it's a bit late today!"
"Okay, then it's settled!"
Jiang Tao hung up the phone happily, feeling quite touched.
Mr. An was such a busy person and had to prepare for a variety show. When he proposed it, he hesitated for a while, but later he agreed.
What does that mean? It means that people give me this face.
Jiang Tao mentally praised An Ran for a good meal and remembered this favor.
…………
Early the next morning, An Ran appeared at the entrance of the film and television base early.
Jiang Tao was waiting for him there, and he was accompanied by a short-haired director who was about the same age as Jiang Tao. He looked quite strong, but his head was a bit bald.
Seeing him coming, the two of them rushed to greet him.
Jiang Tao came over and gave him a hug, then introduced him, "This is Director Xu Haowen."
"This is Mr. An of Chuangyi Entertainment!"
Xu Haowen hurriedly came over to shake hands with a very low attitude.
Whether you want An Ran to help read the script, or you are a person worthy of his respect.
The three of them walked and chatted, and soon arrived at the shooting scene.
Xu Haowen asked the screenwriter to bring the script to An Ran.
An Ran looked around for a few times, but didn't see the actors, and she wasn't worried. They were on the set anyway, so she would be able to take a look sooner or later.
This crew is not suitable, so he will look for someone from the next crew to consider.
In such a big film and television base, are you worried that you can’t find anyone?
After receiving the script, An Ran was stunned after reading a few pages.
Isn't this a rough version of "Crazy Stone"?
The general framework is basically the same, but the details and characters are a bit missing.
Although it is also a low-budget comedy film, it lacks the black humor and feels several levels lower.
If it had been made according to this script, it would have been a shoddy, low-rated movie.
Seeing An Ran frowning, Xu Haowen did not dare to say anything. As a director, of course he knew the shortcomings of the script.
But he hasn’t made a film in more than half a year, and his reputation in the industry is not very good, so he is still qualified to take on jobs.
But after reading the script, he felt that if he continued filming like this, he might fall into a vicious cycle.
The less alive you are, the less likely you are to choose, and the less likely you are to choose, the less likely you are to live.
I had no choice but to ask Jiang Tao for help.
Jiang Tao read the book and felt that the concept was good, but the plot was rubbish, many places were maliciously funny, and the laughs were low. It was not a good book.
But when I saw Xu Haowen looking depressed, I couldn't bear it, so I called An Ran.
Wait until you finish reading the book.
Xu Haowen looked at him expectantly.
An Ran said: "The concept is good, but the details are not enough, and there are not enough laughs."
The two of them were refreshed, and Jiang Tao said: "Can you change it?"
"Yes!"
After hearing this, Xu Haowen murmured for a long time and said: "That Mr. An... our investment in this drama is small, only three million!"
The implication is that you can help with the changes, but I don’t have any money to give you.
And don’t change it too radically because you don’t have enough money to hire a big star.
Hey!
Are you planning to prostitute me for free?
An Ran felt depressed. He planned to come and prostitute someone else for free, but he didn't expect that they had already been identified by him as the one being prostituted for free.
But it doesn’t matter, Jiang Tao’s face must be given.
This helped, even if he realized he was cheating, what else could Jiang Tao say?
"It's not about money!" An Ran said: "There's no need to make major changes to the script. I'll just make some adjustments for you."
The screenwriter was stunned for a moment after hearing this.
Is this person so awesome? A few changes can make the rubble shine. I really don’t believe in this evil.
Before Jiang Tao and Xu Haowen could say anything, he went to get a pen.
An Ran took over the pen and began to revise the script.
After more than an hour passed, An Ran read the revised script carefully again.
This is interesting.
He handed the script to Xu Haowen and said: "Take a look!"
Xu Haowen started reading the book with a little anticipation and a little anxiety.
I only read two pages, and my hands were shaking. The screenwriter behind me was breathing heavily, and his eyes were full of admiration and shock.
The script of Enron adds two characters, one is the international thief Mike, and the other is the important character Black Pi.
The two characters collide with each other, perfectly connecting several lines together.
At the same time, he standardized the lines into dialects. He slightly modified those malicious and funny lines and immediately raised them to several levels.
The entire script is full of black humor from beginning to end.
What's even more impressive is that all this was done based on the original script, which means that the cost expenditure only increased by two more characters.
This means that the cost will not increase much.
After watching it for a while, Jiang Tao said seriously: "Old Xu, you have to thank Teacher An this time. This book will be conservatively estimated to have a box office of 50 million..."
Xu Haowen nodded repeatedly.
A box office of 50 million is not worth mentioning to others, but his investment here is only 3 million. Excluding theater shares and other necessary expenses, the 50 million box office makes a net profit of 25 million.
Eight times the cost!
Chapter completed!
