Chapter 139 Absurdity(1/2)
In fact, to be honest, although "Flash Girl" finally achieved a higher box office than in his dreams, Peng Hui himself was not satisfied with this drama. Because he knew that the success of this drama had nothing to do with him.
It is different from the time in the dream when I was still small and transparent.
Now, he is already a popular young star.
So as early as the beginning, it attracted the attention of the light.
With attention, publicity, and promotion factors, it has improved a lot.
For a good movie, the quality itself comes second, and promotion is actually the top priority!
This is very sad, but it is reality.
These days, the fragrance of wine is afraid of deep alleys.
On the contrary, those with average quality and strong publicity become more famous.
But strictly speaking, even though "Flash Girl" added some scenes, overall, it did not break away from the shackles of dreams. Peng Hui had to admit that the experience in dreams had a great impact on him.
If outsiders knew that a movie that had nearly doubled its profit was actually dissatisfied with its director and screenwriter, they would probably feel dumbfounded.
Although the market today has gradually grown, there are still few films that can make a profit.
Not to mention that it is not enough to be called "Flash Girl" in terms of cost or other aspects.
Being able to nearly double the revenue is already very good.
But directors, just like writers, always have some bad habits of being picky.
Peng Hui's inspiration comes and leaves just as quickly.
But it has to be said that the arrival of inspiration made Peng Hui burst with ideas.
Soon, a story was created.
However, after looking at the synopsis of the script, Peng Hui hesitated.
He couldn't take the picture.
Because this is a gay movie.
It’s not that you can’t take pictures, it’s just...
After filming is completed, the film cannot be released.
Any film that cannot be screened is just a high-end waste.
No matter how perfect it is, it is still waste.
Headache.
I was having a headache when the phone rang.
It's Li Shanshan.
After Peng Hui answered the phone, he was stunned for a moment, then hung up the phone after giving some instructions.
I looked at the script in front of me, sighed lightly, and put it away in the drawer.
Got up and went out.
Guo Fan, a young director who is not well-known in the industry.
Represents as...
"You at the same table".
He is the director of a movie based on Peng Hui's song of the same name.
In the dream, Peng Hui did not recognize this young director.
But now...
But the other party came over with a script.
The reason why Peng Hui attaches so much importance to it is because of this script...
It's called "The Wandering Earth".
That's right, it's the work in which Peng Hui conferred the title of God in his dream.
But Peng Hui did not feel any surprise.
In fact, this drama in Dreams had several directors before, but it failed because no one liked it and no one could film it.
I never expected that Guo Fan would be able to get this film, but he came to Peng Hui to cooperate.
Yes, cooperation.
If he wants to attract investment, it would be best if Peng Hui also stars.
How should I put it? Peng Hui has a sense of absurdity.
But after seeing the sincerity of the other party...
After thousands of compositions and drafts of the film, Peng Hui finally agreed.
It's not that he doesn't want to film this movie, but...
There is no need to drag it out.
It would also be a good thing to have this drama released as early as possible.
Besides...
Peng Hui is no longer a full-time director. Directing is just a compromise he made to avoid the dilemma of having nothing to film in the future.
It doesn't mean that Peng Hui has to embark on the path of director.
Even if this is indeed the case in the end, Peng Hui honestly doesn't want to be so tired.
With someone else in charge of filming, wouldn't Peng Hui have more time to study the script?
Or won’t the next script be good?
There is absolutely no need to spend so much effort.
However, the finished product in the dream can only be used as a template. After all, the chief director has changed, so the style may be quite different from Peng Hui's version.
These are all normal, and Peng Hui has no intention of interfering too much.
I just had a discussion with Guo Fan on the script.
Every inspiration and bug was picked out by Peng Hui one by one.
Guo Fan was stunned for a moment.
If I hadn't known that this was Peng Hui's first exposure to a script, I might have almost thought that this script was written by Peng Hui.
The opinions put forward by Peng Hui also made Guo Fan's eyes light up.
He had to face up to Peng Hui, a little fresh meat in the eyes of outsiders.
In fact, to be honest, the reason why I came to Peng Hui was because Peng Hui was rich.
Nowadays, with the popularity of hit dramas, the name Peng Hui has become more and more famous.
What followed was that Peng Hui's salary skyrocketed.
According to rumors, Li Shanshan has now offered a price of two million per episode of the TV series.
And these scripts are basically more than 40 to 50 episodes. In other words, if Peng Hui takes on a drama now, it will cost at least 80 million to 100 million!
But they were still robbed.
There are so many scripts that it makes one’s head go numb.
For example, "The Legend of the Destiny", which was released in April, was offered 500,000 yuan per episode when filming, but in the end Peng Hui refused.
On the one hand, it was because I was busy working on "In the Name of the People" at the time, and on the other hand, it was because there were only four words for this drama in my dream.
A work to make money.
The script is also absolutely rubbish.
Peng Hui has not yet reached the point where he is shameless for money.
Even though he never had much money in his hands, he was actually not short of money.
The worst thing is to eat soft rice.
But now, his salary has not changed much.
But movie pay is rising.
From the previous five million, the bonus has been directly increased to ten million.
After all, even top movie stars only get a basic bonus of 20 million.
Of course, for others, it is more than 20%, but when it comes to Peng Hui, it is only about 10%.
On the contrary, the salary for TV series is only two million per episode.
no change.
