Hollywood legendary director

Wen Ziren walked in the corridors of Firefly Pictures with some joy.

Since he had the idea of ​​a new work that day, he spent a few days with Ray Warnard to write a part of the script outline and role setting.

It has been two years since he directed "Chain Saw 1", and his desire for director has become strong. After all, being a producer is not what he wants to do most.

He still wants to be a director and shoot the works he wants.

In the company, he was the first old man to take refuge in.

Regarding the production experience and industry qualifications, he is not good enough. The box office is not as good as the director, and the strength is not better than Nolan. The art production may not be as good as the top, and he feels that his status in the company is getting worse and worse. It is important, but I am also very anxious.

On the third floor, Wen Ziren was still thinking about how to shoot the new work and who the actors would look for.

Inside the building, all company employees are busy.

A familiar deputy director of the production department met Wen Ziren, greeted him with a smile, and asked him to sit down.

The company's competitive pressure is still great, and their deputy executives also need performance to consolidate their position.

Where does the result come from, of course, is the film and television project.

It just so happens that Wen Ziren's "Chain Saw" series has part of his work.

Wen Ziren saw a lot of information in the office, mostly about Oscar judges, and curiously said, "You are..."

"Oh, this. We need to help Blue Butterfly Pictures PR judges, and Warner will also organize a reception."

"That's it." Wen Ziren nodded.

He also knows some internal news about "Million Dollar Baby", and it is not surprising that he understands Oscar's public relations rules.

"Did you come to the company today for the "Chain Saw" project?"

The deputy director poured coffee and asked.

Wen Ziren hesitated for a while before replied: "No, I don’t want to participate in this project anymore after supervising the fourth part. I’m here today for other things, maybe I need to bother you later, but I don’t know Mr. Lehman. Will you agree?"

The deputy director knew that Wen Ziren admired Lehman, and would discuss with him anything.

And coming to the company in such a formal way is definitely not a trivial matter, maybe it is a new project.

In fact, the size of Firefly Pictures is not large, and some power divisions are not comprehensive enough, such as auditing projects and investigating market prospects. Lehman is almost solely responsible for it. Without Lehman’s approval, the company’s funds will not be invested. In a project, this is a hidden danger for a production company.After all, one's vision and energy are limited.

Fortunately, Lehman has not missed it all these years.

Speaking of which, how the company will develop and where it will develop, the company's senior management is a bit unclear.

"Well, if it's a production problem for a new project, you can come and pick someone at that time, we will definitely form the best behind-the-scenes team to reduce your production pressure. By the way, how is your studio now?"

"It's not like that." Wen Ziren obviously didn't want to talk about this.

In fact, Wen Ziren has made a lot of money in the past two years. In the "Chain Saw Cry" series of projects, each of the revenue, including offline aspects, Wen Ziren's studio has more than 20% of the share, let alone the box office. The financial income from this aspect is also very impressive.

His director’s salary is calculated separately, probably around 3 million.Calculating this way, he can roughly earn 50 million from the release of the three "Chain Saw".

But, apart from a few miscellaneous and financial accounting in his studio, Ray Warner is considered a general.

The scale of truth is incomparable with the backstage crews of several other directors.One empty shell.

"Forget it, I will come later, I will trouble you then."

After Wen Ziren finished speaking, he walked into the aisle again.

......

......

Inside the president's office.

"You mean you have a new shooting plan?" Lehman asked casually.

"Yes, Mr. Lyman." Wen Ziren was quite respectful.

After all, this is in the company, and the two cannot be too casual.

"Does that have a script?" Lehman asked.

"Take it." Wen Ziren took out a stack of manuscript paper from the briefcase, and it was accompanied by a part of the scene sub-shots, which was more intuitive and gave a rough idea of ​​the style of the image.

Lehman took it, and Wen Ziren explained: "This idea originated from a dream, a nightmare. And this dream is very real, and I can remember it after waking up. So I called Ray Warner, in this dream The main line of the storyline is added on the basis of, but this script has not been fully conceived yet..."

"So, do you want to direct this new work?" Lehman rolled his eyes.

"Well, I can find someone else to be responsible for the "Chain Saw" project. I want to take over the production of this film. I also want to ask the company for help. I just name it..." Wen Ziren smiled embarrassedly , "If possible, the investment equity can also be consistent with the "Chain Saw" project."

The attitude of Firefly Pictures to its partners is still very good, and the division of revenue is not excessive.

While eating meat in the company, others can also have a sip of soup without taking too much production risk.

If you really want to lose money, the company must lose the most.

It is the coexistence of benefits and risks.

"Good to say, good to say..." Lyman dealt with it, but his eyes were on the script and scenes.

Looking at it, Lehman had a headache. Sure enough, Wen Ziren still failed to escape this hurdle, and even because of premature control of economic strength, it was more than half a year earlier than the original time and space.

"It's a story about ghosts killing their lives?"

Wen Ziren happily replied: "Yes, I have always wanted to make such a horror movie. When it comes to horror, the unknown is the easiest to fear. Ghosts are the best theme carriers of this kind, and I think they cooperate. The dark atmosphere and the rendering of the scene will definitely be shocking. To be honest, there are some scenes in it that I am afraid of. For example, when I wake up in the middle of the night, I always feel that something is hiding in the corner and watching me. , But found that it was a doll. In that darkness, the doll's eyes seemed to blink and came alive...Even if you know that the doll can't come alive, it also made me feel bad. "

According to Wen Ziren's words, coupled with the scene footage in his hand, Lehman seemed to be able to imagine such a time.

Damn it, I'm so frustrated.

Wen Ziren is a real psychopath...

"Good idea," Lehman affirmed the idea of ​​his new work, and then said again: "But how much do you plan to use to make this work. Oh, forgot to ask, what is the name you gave the movie?"

Wen Ziren probably has some ideas, but it will definitely take time to implement them.

He thought about it for a long time before saying: "The name of the movie is "Dead Silence"."
