In a city with a population of more than 17 million, Chen Yao drove back to Shenzhen City. This place is another world from his hometown. There are many high-rise buildings and the flow of people and vehicles is denser.
¡°Ding-ding-ding-ding¡¡± As soon as the car entered the city, the phone rang.
"Li Chenguang" was displayed on the screen of the mobile phone. As soon as Chen Yao answered the call, he heard the director's happy voice.
"Happy New Year, are you back in Shencheng?"
Chen Yao said: "I'm back. Come to the Music Note Dance Company. If you have anything to do, sit down and talk about it."
Hanging up the phone, about 30 minutes later, the car arrived downstairs at the Music Note Dance Company.
"Cousin, does this music company belong to you?" This is Chen Ruoxi's first time here.
Lin Yuhan got out of the car, stretched out, and told her: "Yes, this company is now the largest music company in China, and many big-name singers gather here."
Chen Ruoxi hugged Li Mengmeng and got out of the car. Although she was now a mother, her enthusiasm for chasing stars was still the same as when she was a girl. She wanted to get up close to those kings and queens.
Similarly, Lin Yuhan is also a star chaser, and the two of them walked quickly towards the building.
"Wow! King Liu Tian!"
When the elevator door opened, Li Mengmeng saw a very handsome man at first sight. He was Liu Tianlun, a superstar who spanned the film and television industry and the music industry.
"Can I take a photo with you?" Chen Ruoxi was particularly excited and took out her mobile phone.
"Okay." Liu Tianlun was very generous and stood on her right side to take a group photo.
The elevator door opened again, and Lin Yuhan and Chen Ruoxi walked into the elevator. In addition to Liu Tianlun, there was also the Ice Cream Girl Band and the popular idol handsome Lin Chenxi in the elevator box.
How does it feel to be in an elevator with a group of celebrities?
Anyway, at this time, Lin Yuhan and Chen Ruoxi were so excited that their hearts almost jumped out.
However, Chen Yao's expression was very calm. He opened the elevator door and walked towards his office.
I rarely come here. The so-called office is more like a lounge. Opening the door, Chen Yao sat down in front of the desk.
After waiting for about 10 minutes, the secretary pushed the door open and came in: "Mr. Chen, Director Li is here."
Standing next to the secretary is Li Chenguang, who is wearing black-rimmed glasses and a retro Tang suit. He is a famous director of TV series. As for movies, there are almost no hits.
Chen Yao asked his secretary to pour him tea: "Director, why are you looking for me?"
Li Chenguang sat down across from him and said with a smile: "I must have something to do with you? Can I come and get together with you during the New Year?"
We are very familiar with each other and have collaborated many times, so we are considered very good friends.
Chen Yao said: "Since we are friends, let's not beat around the bush and just talk directly."
Li Chenguang told the assistant beside him. The assistant took out a document bag from the black briefcase and placed it on the table.
Chen Yao looked puzzled: "What is it?"
"You can open it and take a look."
Open the document bag, there is a plastic box inside, and then open the plastic box, there are two DVD discs inside.
If you guessed it correctly, the disc stores movie resources. Chen Yao put it into the computer's optical drive, and the video playback software immediately popped up on the screen.
This is a movie called "Journey into Mystery".
"Due to some reasons, the filming of this movie was completed but not released." Director Li smiled bitterly.
Chen Yao was a little confused: "Why?"
¡°You¡¯ll know after you play it.¡±
With a click of the mouse, the movie was played. At the beginning of the picture, there was a small forest, pitch black, with faint moonlight falling.
It was eerie, and suddenly a black shadow floated out from the dark cave, with its long tongue hanging out, and its face was as ugly as rottenness!
Chen Yao¡¯s expression changed, horror movie!
He immediately clicked the mouse to pause the playback. Can you roughly guess why the movie can't be released?
It must be the subject matter.
, Li Chenguang sighed and said: "This movie is really a pity.
Submitted to the relevant departments for review, but because the film contained too many ghost scenes and was suspected of promoting superstition, it was rejected. "
"Why did you continue to film even though you knew this type of subject matter would be reviewed? Besides, didn't you submit the script before filming?"
Director Li said: "Our script submissionThe filming started only after the review and approval had been passed. "
Chen Yao is a little confused. Since the relevant departments have agreed that the script is fine, why can't a movie that has been shot and produced and invested a lot of manpower, material, and money not be released in the end?
Li Chenguang said in a slow tone: "The script submitted is quite normal, it is just a costumed martial arts drama with a little bit of horror elements.
It was only later that during the filming process, I failed to control it well and repeatedly revised the script, making the movie more and more terrifying and adding too many ghosts. "
"Director Li, you are a veteran in the film and television industry. How could you make such a low-level mistake?"
"This is not what I meant. The investors insist on modifying the script, and I can't help it." Li Chenguang felt deeply helpless.
The film cannot be released, and the loss is not only for the investors, but also for Director Li and his team. After the filming of the film is completed, they have not received half of the payment.
Even if it¡¯s a share of the movie, you still have to get back a basic remuneration of at least 8 million.
Chen Yao asked: "Then what do you think now?"
Director Li said: "This movie still has a chance to be saved. As long as it is re-edited, there is a high chance that it will pass the review, but
You should take a look at the second CD. "
Chen Yao took out the second disc and put it into the computer's optical drive. This step was re-edited. Many horrific scenes were deleted, and some changes were made to the plot.
It is indeed not that scary anymore, but the movie has become boring because there are too many cuts, making it confusing to watch.
Even if such a movie finally passes the review and can be released on the big screen, the box office will be very bleak.
Li Chenguang expressed his thoughts: "I have played your company's "Wandering Survival" game. The special effects are really great. It is said that the cost of developing this game is very low. Is that right?"
Chen Yao nodded slightly: "Well, because it uses artificial intelligence, the cost of doing special effects is indeed much lower."
Li Chenguang said: "I hope your company's team can do special effects for this movie.
We don¡¯t have high requirements so that the box office won¡¯t be too bad, as long as it can barely recover the cost. "
The only thing that comes to mind now is to start with special effects to improve its viewing quality.
But I don¡¯t want to spend too much money. After all, in a movie like this, huge sums of money are spent on special effects, which will cause huge losses every minute.
Chen Yao touched his chin and watched the movie silently, feeling that there was still a chance to save it: "How much money was invested in this movie?" (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
