When Shao Yingxiong held a meeting for everyone in the studio, the employees led by Cheng Long and Niu Wa widened their eyes, and they didn't believe everything they heard.

"Brother Shao, let's not shoot TV series anymore?" Niu Wa asked a little reluctantly.

Cheng Long denied: "It's okay not to take photos? Even the staff and clerks in the studio include more than 100 people who have opened their mouths to wait for feeding every day. We don't have to worry about food and drink, and they don't have to support their wives and children."

Shao Yingxiong nodded and said, "Old Cheng is right, Niu Wa, what I said is not that I will not shoot anymore, but in the future I will try to participate in the filming of TV series as little as possible. If our studio needs to borrow my name to increase the ratings, I can come back and play a guest appearance. However, my focus will be on the movie. After a while, we will make a movie, the director will hire externally, and the photographer will hire externally. Niu Wa, you have never been involved in filming, so you can join the group with me to learn."

"Old Cheng." Shao Yingxiong said as if he was right, "Niuwa is gone. The TV series in the next drama in our studio may be a little tight on photographers. See if there is a suitable photographer. If we sign one, it doesn't matter if we are more expensive. At that time, we can choose two smart people from the field workers to be assistants. On the one hand, we have to tell the group of field workers that they have the opportunity to make a comeback. On the other hand, we can't just drag you and Niuwa on everything. If the stall cannot be opened, it will be too uncomfortable and will be hindered everywhere."

Cheng Long thought for a long time and said, "Why would you better find Gu Changwei..."

"Do you think what you said is OK? Gu Changwei is Zhang Yimou's royal photographer, and Zhang Yimou and I are incompatible with each other. I dare say that when you went to see Gu Changwei, the first thing people said was to block your mouth." Shao Yingxiong shook his head.

"How about signing Wang Xiaoming? Although I have just made it out, the level of "Empty Mirror" is there. The key is that I am not old and the requirements should not be too high."

Shao Yingxiong continued to shake his head and said, "What I want is experience, think about the old people in the circle."

Cheng Long sucked his teeth and thought for a long time before saying, "If you follow your requirements, I believe there will be no one else except Hou Yong."

Hou Yong and Shao Yingxiong were waiting for Cheng Long's answer.

"This Hou Yong is really an old man in the circle. When he was in school, there were Zhang Yimou, Wu Ziniu, and Tianzhuangzhuang among his classmates. But this person was so lucky. Those classmates all became directors in the circle, only him, but he was the same as before. Uh, "Happy Time". Didn't you remember it? That was what Hou Yong filmed. Later, Hou Yong wanted to work alone as a director, and Gu Changwei took his position." Seeing that Shao Yingxiong was still not very cold, Cheng Long introduced it in particular: "If we were to talk early, "Kyoto Football Man", "Horse Thieves", and "Opium War" were all his works, "No one left behind" and "My Father and Mother" were also his handheld."

Shao Yingxiong knew about these works and had heard of Hou Yong's name, but he just didn't know if he could come to his studio. Who made Shao Yingxiong, who has been a director for so long, always use Niuwa and refuses to cooperate with others?

"This person is OK. But he wants to be a director, will he come to us?"

Cheng Long heard Shao Yingxiong’s question and smiled: “It depends on whether you are willing to pay for it. Boss Shao, if someone invested in this Hou Yong, as for those who have been under Zhang Yimou for so many years, he has only wanted to part ways with Lao Mouzi now? What does this mean? It means that the name Hou Yong is only a little famous within a certain range, and the investor still doesn’t trust him very much. After all, he does not have the experience of directing a drama independently?” After Cheng Long finished speaking, even Zhang Wan nodded in the conference room. He knew too much about how frustrating it was to not be able to produce a work that was not good at making any moves: “If you are willing to invest in a movie for him, you are required to sign a three-year photographer contract with us. Can you agree to this matter if you think about it? If you can’t cultivate a baby for a three-year contract, you can always cultivate several photographers who are qualified to use for the TV series handheld machine?”

Shao Yingxiong gritted his teeth and said, "What movie does he want to make?"

"It seems that I was holding a book called "Jasmine Blossoms" and was looking for people to invest everywhere, but there was nothing to do, so I should have hit a wall." Cheng Long said.

Jasmine flowers bloom?

Others Shao Yingxiong may not be very clear about it, but he understands this movie too much. This is a domestic box office tragedy!

Shao Yingxiong remembers that "Jasmine Blossom" should have been released at the same time as "Barber". Both dramas were rare literary and artistic films on May Day that year. There were many big names such as "Jiang Wen, Zhang Ziyi, Liu Ye, Lu Yi" and other big names to support the scenes. In the end, they were defeated by "Barber" with a box office of 8 million. It only made "Jasmine Blossom" ranked the bottom in the box office. Although this drama was later called "Good Story and Good Pictures" and was also known as a film that "proves Zhang Ziyi's acting skills", what's the use? The investment quota with low box office almost jumped, and the pay of these big brands alone was not affordable by box office.

"Uh, Lao Cheng, please contact me for Hou Yong, but we have to agree that it's okay for me to invest in a movie for him. This movie will have to be invested in three years later. I'll find the script, and it's definitely not this "Jasmine Blossom". If he can agree to these conditions, I'll have no problem here."

After deciding on the photographer, Shao Yingxiong finally felt relieved. He could not let the people in his studio be idle, and he had to control the TV series market.

"Zhang Wan, please contact Kang Honglei and say that we have a drama that we want to ask him to be the director. In addition, we will contact Lan Xiaolong. He once wrote the script of the drama "Erner Assault". Based on this drama script, the novel "Soldier" should not be published yet. Well, no matter how much it costs, I will definitely rob the copyright of the TV series of this film. Remember, you must rob the copyright of the TV series and arrange the two of them together to rectify the script. Before that, you must not let them meet."

Shao Yingxiong would never let go of the drama "Soldier Assault". If Lan Xiaolong publishes the book and goes to Wang Zhongjun with a novel, he will have nothing to do here. This is a TV series that Wang Zhongjun decided to invest in after seeing Lan Xiaolong, just because Wang Zhongjun himself was a scout!

"Recently, all the work in the studio has been carried out around "Soldier Assault". Lao Cheng, if Hou Yong goes well, let Hou Yong be the photography director for "Soldier Assault". If it doesn't go well, photography will be directly hired. You should not touch me any of the drama "Jasmine Blossoms"."

Shao Yingxiong doesn’t understand what literary and artistic movies are. He never thinks he is at that level. If literary and artistic movies can make a lot of money, Shao Yingxiong may be willing to try it, otherwise he would better improve the level of a vulgar person with the nickname "Shao Dagou" first.

Beep.

During the meeting, Shao Yingxiong's phone rang, and Wang Zhongjun was called.

"That's all today. When I'm not here, I will just look for Zhang Wan if I have any questions."

Shao Yingxiong walked out of the conference room with the phone and answered at the door of the conference room: "Mr. Wang, is there anything wrong?"

"Shao Yingxiong. You have not been able to do anything, right? Your book "Accident" is clearly copied from "The God of Death is Coming."

Listening to Wang Zhongjun's teasing, Shao Yingxiong opened his mouth and said, "It was, Mr. Wang, why don't you give me a knife to abandon this book first? It just so happens that my studio has no next plan yet."

"I think beautifully!" Wang Zhongjun laughed and said, "To be honest, the copy was pretty good, but to make this script into a movie, it requires a director who can control the rhythm. The overall rhythm must not give the audience a breath in extreme depression. Do you have any thoughts in your mind? If you want to say your own words, you can't shoot this movie now."

Shao Yingxiong sighed. He was working on a TV series. It was really useful to ask him to take a movie with such a meticulous rhythm: "I want the company to help contact Du Qifeng. I have no requirements, just let me play the male lead."

"Okay, I'll let Wang Jinghua contact you." Wang Zhongjun pondered for a moment and said again: "Xiao Shao, the plot and ending of the script seem to make people have some minor problems..."

Wang Zhongjun is worthy of a veteran investor and can see the real reason why the "accident" movie failed at the box office in Xiangjiang at a glance. Shao Yingxiong said: "That's just the first version. I have changed the ending of the second version. Tomorrow, tomorrow I will have someone send the script to you."

He did change the ending of "Accident", not only changed the ending of "Accident", but also changed the general plot of "Accident".

There are many reasons for the box office failure of "Accident", such as the decline of the Hong Kong movie, and the schedule is not appropriate. The most important thing is that the entire movie is suppressed and has not been released at all. Even the money obtained after the successful murder is locked in a safe and finally stolen. If you can't make the audience happy, the audience will naturally not give you the box office.

Think about "Gun Fire", the whole shot of the gunfight is so exciting. In the end, my younger brother and sister-in-law are even more imaginative, while "Accident" lacks exciting points.

Shao Yingxiong changed the whole movie to the protagonist being a small employee of an insurance company. He started to investigate because he saw a suspicious insurance claim. After entering the investigation, he found that it was not an accident at all. It was a few stupid people who were causing an accident. These stupid people were his later accomplices.

A small employee who has died and cannot see hope at work discovered such a way of wealth when he was almost desperate, and the usury owed by gambling in despair can make him take risks. This is also the real reason why the male protagonist does not believe that his wife's death is an accident!

With the cause and the opportunity for four people to get together, it would be natural for all accidental killings to come.

As for the length of the film, it can be completely solved by reducing the useless shots, such as waiting for it to rain again and again, such as monitoring the boss, that is, the insurance agent in the original film, just reveal the important clues.

In the finale, the hero's death should not be stabbed to death, but a mountain with a mountain high death in an accident. When the police cracked the case, they arrested the insurance agent. At that moment, the insurance agent's face was exposed. Before that, the scene of stabbing people in the corridor could be changed to an insurance agent appearing innocently in front of the hero, cursing with a crying face, or even beating the hero. The hero just apologized guiltily, believing that he had narrowly killed the insurance agent's wife. Finally, after the police investigation, the hero's wife's death was a order taken by the insurance agent, and it was not an accident at all!

In this way, money is useful, and the hero creates unexpected money to repay usury, eat, drink and have fun. He is more excited. Although the whole drama is still depressed, it can burst out the depression.

Whether the revised notebook can be made to the box office depends on the result of Shao Yingxiong's test of the waters with this drama. Who made the drama that plagiarized the popular drama no longer have too much satisfaction?
