The overall atmosphere of the crew is very good, and the only disharmonious one is probably Jiang Wen. ←,

Jiang Wen likes to modify scripts, and he always wants to act better.

When he was in China, he and Feng Xiaogang had argued about this many times. After coming to the United States, he experienced life everywhere and observed the daily life status of American Chinese in the Chinese settlement area.

After observing, he thought about changing the script. As the director, Feng Xiaogang disliked changing the script the most in order to catch up with the progress.

Once the script is modified, the prepared sets and props will be remade, which will not only waste time but also money.

Jiang Wen is a child of the army, Feng Xiaogang is from the army, and both of them have straightforward personalities, but Jiang Wen has always been very particular about convincing people with reason, and he will reason with you.

"Aren't you making trouble?" Feng Xiaogang said dissatisfied, "When you make a movie, I will also play a role, and make trouble in your crew. It depends on whether you can bear it."

Jiang Wen looked at Feng Xiaogang seriously, which made Feng Xiaogang feel distressed.

"What do you want to do?" Feng Xiaogang said worriedly.

"I'm thinking about arranging a role for you, but your image makes me embarrassed." Jiang Wen said with a sincere look.

He and Lin Zixuan were discussing the story about puberty. The discussion time was usually spent during meals, and the two of them had no free time.

Jiang Wen would tell Lin Zixuan the past he remembered, and Lin Zixuan was responsible for sorting it out and transforming it into a storyline.

Jiang Wen grew up in another place when he was a child. He moved to the capital until he was in middle school. He was very ordinary when he was in middle school, both in appearance and grades.

At that time, no one cared about this. Students didn’t attend classes and ran around. It was an era full of violence, and there were many beautiful memories.

The military compound is relatively quiet and there is not as much trouble as the outside world. These students who do not go to school are trying every means to pass the boring time and vent their excess energy all day long.

They smoke, sing, fight, and provoke female students.

At that time, a kind of "photographing a woman" game was popular in the capital.

If a boy meets a female classmate he likes, he will hide at the corner of the street, intercept the female classmate, and chat with nothing to say. If the female classmate is willing to pay attention to him, the boy will decide that the girl is his girlfriend.

If other boys approach this female classmate, the two boys will inevitably have a fight, and those who lose will quit.

For this reason, these people have fought with people a lot, and sometimes they will make their heads bleed. This is the restlessness during adolescence.

"Brother Jiang, have you photographed the woman?" Lin Zixuan said curiously.

"No, I was not very sensible at that time, I just followed him to make trouble." Jiang Wen said with regret.

Lin Zixuan was five years younger than Jiang Wen. When he went to middle school, society was basically settled, and all students had to attend classes in school.

It was precisely because of his poor grades in middle school that Jiang Wen failed the college entrance examination in the first year and went to the Beijing Drama Academy the next year, so he embarked on the path of an actor and became a first-line male actor in China.

The story is not complicated. The key is how to package simple adolescence stories and integrate them into the background of the entire era. Only in this way can it have touching power.

Lin Zixuan compiled a story outline based on the memories of "Sunny Days" and Jiang Wen. The main plots are all included, and the following is to fill in various details.

Anyway, Jiang Wen will still modify it when shooting in the future, so it is useless to write it in detail.

Lin Zixuan just helped Jiang Wen straighten his thoughts. After all, this is a story that belongs to Jiang Wen.

He felt that it would be too difficult to write scripts for such directors who pursued the pursuit in the future. Such people will never be satisfied. They will always pursue excellence and always have to figure out everything to be at ease.

"How much investment do you think this movie requires?" Lin Zixuan asked.

"It's going to cost 2 million US dollars no matter what. It can't be less than this TV series." Jiang Wen said with confidence.

Lin Zixuan was speechless. This sentence completely exposed the essence of director Jiang Wen rookie. He had no idea how much it would cost to make a movie.

The reason why "The People in Beijing in New York" is so high is that it has to be filmed in the United States throughout the whole process. How could a movie that can be filmed by renting a large yard in China and finding a few teenagers and women?

Besides, even if you want it, no one is willing to invest.

According to Lin Zixuan's estimate, plus Jiang Wenran's habit of modifying scripts, the wasted film was enough.

This is exactly why Jiang Wen wants to find Lin Zixuan as a producer. What he values ​​is Lin Zixuan's ability to find money and save money.

A 21-episode TV series can cost 1.5 million US dollars, so finding funds for filming a movie is not a piece of cake. He is already thinking about preparing to make a movie after returning to China.

Lin Zixuan was amused and crying about this. There are many factors that can attract investment in "The People of Beijing in New York". This is a task assigned by the superior department, and it can only be successful if it sells it in advance.

"Then we'll just make a post advertisement for this movie," Jiang Wen said confidently.

"The problem is that we think this story is useless. We must make investors and advertisers feel it is good." Lin Zixuan smiled bitterly, "No matter whether it is a story, actor or director, this film has no appeal, so how can it be favored?"

"This is your business. I just need to shoot the movie. Xiaolin, my brother is very relieved to you." Jiang Wen said irresponsibly.

Lin Zixuan had no choice but to do this almost rogue practice.

He thought about it and found that it was almost impossible to get a loan from a bank, and the risk was too great. If it was a film directed by Zhang Yimou and starring Jiang Wen, the bank would be interested. Director Jiang Wen, a group of unknown teenagers, it would be strange if the bank could handle it.

There is little hope of investing in China, so I can only look for funds from Xiangjiang or abroad.

"Are you really planning to produce Brother Jiang?" Mu Shanshan said in surprise, "Can your story bring money?"

"All friends, if you can help me, I will help you." Lin Zixuan sighed. "Brother Jiang really wants to make this movie. Everyone has an obsession in his heart. He will not give up until he reaches it. Brother Jiang is in this state. He is a bit obsessed with it. Such a person can always do something that others can't do."

"Then what is your obsession?" Mu Shanshan said curiously.

"Me?" Lin Zixuan thought for a while and shook his head, "I really don't have anything I want to do, I feel like I'm not pursuing it."

"This is good and stable." Mu Shanshan said satisfied, "By the way, Xiaoling is going to take the college entrance examination, should you call back?"

"That girl is restless, I'm really worried." Lin Zixuan said depressedly.

When he thought of Lin Xiaoling, Lin Zixuan had a headache. When he left, he specifically reminded his sister not to apply for an art school, but Lin Xiaoling didn't know whether she listened or not. (To be continued.)
