Quietly, Xia Fan is preparing to increase the investment amount of "Initial D" to 100 million, and his own investment ratio accounts for 50%, which makes him a well-deserved major shareholder.
As a director, screenwriter, and male lead, his dividend will inevitably exceed 50%, of course, provided that the movie can make money.
In the film industry, an investment of 100 million yuan is barely considered a big production. After all, the Chinese currency in this time and space is much more valuable than the original time and space, so this is definitely a key project that all parties are paying attention to.
From Xia Fan¡¯s personal perspective, this will be his first film after establishing his studio, and it can also be regarded as a tough battle that he must face after becoming independent from the company.
Thinking of this, he quietly opened his laptop and flipped through the script of "Initial D".
Xia Fan can only remember a rough outline of the plot of his previous life, so he shamelessly bothered Director Chen not long ago.
In fact, one thing the two have in common is that they like to call themselves editor-in-chief.
Not long ago, Chen Shicheng also teased Xia Fan about how he planned to spend the movie dividends from "Charlotte", but the other party calmly said that he bought two houses with the money and there was almost no balance.
He was speechless and had no objection. After all, who doesn¡¯t want to own a house in Yanjing or Shanghai? This is the symbol of a successful person.
Xia Fan has been renting a house in Yanjing for more than five years since his debut, and he admires his patience.
The two have a long-term cooperative relationship. Director Chen Da naturally used his personal connections to help Xia Fan write the plot of "Initial D".
To be precise, this idea was provided by Xia Fan. The screenwriters only need to polish it and make the plot more complete.
"If Director Chen is optimistic about the prospects of this movie, investment is welcome."
This is the bait given by Xia Fan. Since he wants the other party to help sincerely, it is the best way to give up the profits and let this guy participate.
What¡¯s more, Chen Shicheng has confirmed that Xia Fan will be the male lead in Tang Detective¡¯s movie, so he must reciprocate the favor, right?
Xia Fan gave an attitude, and Chen Shicheng was very satisfied with it, but he still had to decide whether to invest and how much to invest.
But this time, Director Chen was also very surprised by Xia Fan's amazing imagination.
"This movie is good or bad, but Xia Fan's creativity surprised him. At least in terms of plot, "Initial D" does have the urge to attract viewers to buy movie tickets.
"China is a big country of automobiles. This kind of drift racing movie should make many people feel involved. But"
Chen Shicheng hesitated for a while and then asked: "Xiao Xia, why did the heroine cheat on the hero at the end?"
"For the audience, especially the male audience, this is a poisonous point, a big poisonous point, super poisonous!"
"Look at the online novels nowadays. No matter how good the author is, as long as the male protagonist is cheating, he will be scolded by readers and even send razors to him."
"The same is true for us film and television workers. In terms of plot design, we do everything possible to avoid this thunderous point!"
"Of course this has something to do with the subject matter. This "Initial D" is a cool movie, not a hard-hitting movie. There is absolutely no way the protagonist will be raped!"
Director Chen Da talked slowly and gave his own opinions.
In short, the male protagonist named Xia Tuohai should not be cheated!
What¡¯s more,
The female protagonist not only cheated on the male protagonist, she slept with the rich uncle and engaged in prostitution behind her boyfriend¡¯s back.
What the hell is this?
Chen Shicheng felt that his ideas were open enough, and he was a little surprised by Xia Fan's unbridled imagination.
He wanted to ask: "Young man, what have you experienced?"
After hearing this, Xia Fan couldn't help but rolled his eyes.
He is also very helpless!
Regarding the plot of "Initial D", he didn't remember much, only certain fragments.
¡°However, the memory of the heroine is still quite profound. In addition to the beauty of the island girl, there is also the scene of Jay Chou¡¯s despair and pain.
Xia Fan clearly remembers that after Jay Chou won the final car race, he happily went to find his girlfriend, only to find that his girlfriend was accompanying a middle-aged uncle in and out of the hotel hand in hand.
Despair, pain, heartbreak.
Various emotions appeared on Jay Chou's face. He turned around and ran away without looking back. After the heroine found Jay Chou, she opened the arms of the middle-aged uncle and cried bitterly while chasing after him and running. He fell to the ground while running.
The picture stopped abruptly at this moment and became eternity.
Xia Fan had such a deep memory of this scene that he naturally wrote this part of the plot. Unexpectedly, it caused Chen Shicheng to complain.
"Xiaoxia, what the hell kind of plot is this?"
"What on earth have you experienced?"
Xia Fan was also a little embarrassed, scratched his head, and his face turned slightly red.
"Director Chen, it seems to be a bit exaggerated. Why don't you ask your screenwriters to change it?"
Chen Shicheng nodded and replied: "Change, it must be changed, Xiaoxia, this kind of ghost plot To be honest, the radio and television may not be able to approve it!"
"Ah, why?" Xia Fan asked in surprise.
"Which Chinese audience would like such a heroine? It also goes against the construction of our country's spiritual civilization. The three views are too wrong!" Director Chen Da said slowly.
He felt it was a very interesting thing to seize this opportunity to educate this new generation of directors who are slowly rising.
"Your plot feels like a restricted film from the island country next door!"
Director Chen¡¯s words made Xia Fan almost lose his balance.
He is indeed an experienced driver!
Although he changed the name of the protagonist from Fujiwara Takumi to Natsu Takumi, the character of the heroine, a **** flower, is the heroine plot of a Japanese restricted film.
"I shouldn't copy it!"
Xia Fan sighed inwardly.
After all, times have changed. The China when Jay Chou filmed "Initial D" is no longer the same as today's China. It is even more impossible for Xia Fan to set the story background of the movie in Japan, so he changed the name and placed it in China.
?Otherwise no one would see it!
As for the location of Qiu Mingshan, it¡¯s fine.
In this time and space, Japanese culture was not prosperous in China. The Chinese translation of Qiu Mingshan has another name, so Qiu Mingshan is Xia Fan¡¯s original creation!
However, the heroine¡¯s **** is normal when placed in a Japanese background, and may make many male netizens smile ¡°I understand¡±, but it is inappropriate when placed in a Chinese background and on a Chinese girl. .
Maybe because of this design, this film may even be slapped by "feminist organizations"!
Hearing Xia Fan¡¯s silence, Chen Shicheng thought that the other party had been cheated on before, and deliberately did not point it out. He also thought to himself: I didn¡¯t expect you to have this experience too!
