Chapter 1038: heartburn

Latest URL:

From an action movie to a song-and-dance movie, it was a seemingly nonsensical turn, but after thinking about Lu Qian's previous attempts during the filming of "Deadpool", things became clearer, and there was a sense of sudden enlightenment.

It turned out that what really moved Lu Qian was not the retro craze, but an exploration, an attempt, and a breakthrough in film creation.

If you think about it, it's not surprising.

Lu Qian, it really is Lu Qian, all his thoughts, talents, and enthusiasm are all devoted to the film, which is also the source of inspiration.

Ji Xu opened his mouth slightly. In fact, he had one hundred thousand reasons to stop Lu Qian—

Song and dance movies really lack the market. After investing in filming, there is a high probability that it will be the result of hitting the street.

The point is not that Blue Whale Pictures may lose profits, but that Lu Qian's directorial career may suffer setbacks, and things will be completely different.

After all, after the Echo was launched, Blue Whale Pictures needed Lu Qian to continue to succeed more than ever. All eyes were on Lu Qian's every move, and "Deadpool" was already under great pressure. Lu Qian is now turning around to shoot a doomed song and dance movie...

The consequences are unimaginable.

By then, the overwhelming pressure will be enough to suffocate Blue Whale and Echo.

But before the words came to his mouth, Ji Xu had already swallowed it.

Because he believed in Lu Qian.

Perhaps, for other directors, like Lu Qian, everything is on the right track, and there is no need to make bold attempts, but it may be self-defeating; but for Lu Qian, constantly challenging himself, constantly blazing new trails, this is what he is in Beliefs on the road to creation.

"Unfriend", "Assault", "Deadpool", these works are all born under this background.

Of course, Ji Xu can persuade Lu Qian to be conservative. He believes that his words also have weight. Whether Lu Qian agrees or not, it will definitely be taken into consideration.

But once he spoke, Ji Xu worried that he would regret it, because then Lu Qian would no longer be Lu Qian.

From the company's standpoint, Ji Xu needs Lu Qian to "continue to succeed" and "must succeed", but from the standpoint of a friend and an ordinary audience, Ji Xu knows that such a request is unfair , impractical, unnecessary.

No one can succeed forever.

Even if someone could, they shouldn't take this for granted as a fact, as people in the film industry are well aware that the success or failure of a movie depends on too many factors, the director's ability to play The role is very important, but not all of success or failure.

Lu Qian is very, very important to Blue Whale Films and Echo, but this importance comes from Lu Qian's pursuit of directing.

If Lu Qian stopped exploring those adventures, if Lu Qian became another obedient assembly line director, that would be the beginning of Lu Qian's magic disappearing.

so…

Even at the risk of a turning point in his career, even at the risk that the development plans of Blue Whale Pictures and Echo may suffer a blowout, Ji Xu hopes to continue to maintain the edge of his creation.

Not from the perspective of commercial value, but from the perspective of a friend, a producer, and an individual who thinks independently.

Lu Qian, it shouldn't be a bunch of numbers for commercial interests.

What's more, everything has signs, doesn't it?

The attempt of "Dead Servant", the obstruction of "lover", and the combined effect of various factors gave Lu Qian different inspirations, which also means that Lu Qian's touch as a director has always been active.

Maybe, this is a good thing.

Ji Xu's stomach was burning, and every cell in his body was resisting it, but he still controlled himself and turned to look at the papers.

Take a deep breath.

"What I just saw, not the script, but the lyrics?"

Now, everything makes sense.

Lu Qian nodded, "The script has been created. Then, I need to create a few lyrics. These songs need to be closely integrated with the plot."

"But, it didn't feel right, I always felt like I was writing lines, maybe I should create a rap and dance movie."

Ji Xu made up his mind and couldn't help but burst out laughing—

What's up with being a little funny?

Ji Xu pursed the corners of his mouth, controlled his smile, and remained serious, in order to prove his "protest" against this matter, but the words were another matter.

"In the case of a song and dance movie, what is the story? If the story is too thin, the audience will not buy it now."

"Actually, another reason why song and dance movies are eliminated from the market is that the balance between song and dance and the plot may be out of balance if you don't pay attention."

"'Wind City' was able to rejuvenate back then because there was a good story, and now that the audience has experienced more and become more critical, the story is more important."

"You should know better than me."

"I just looked at the lyrics. Is it a love story? Is it too old-fashioned to shoot a love story with a song movie?"

Chattering, Ji Xu was still unable to control his nervousness and worry, even though he had already made a decision, his stomach was still burning so badly that he was talking too much without realizing it.

But as he spoke, a possibility popped up in Ji Xu's mind, and his eyes widened.

"Wait, you're not going to make this song and dance movie the finale of your marriage trilogy, are you?"

If so, too bold and crazy!

Lu Qian was stunned for a moment~www.wuxiaspot.com~ think about it seriously, then clapped his hands and laughed.

"Student Ji, this is a good idea. It seems that you haven't lost the inspiration of the producer, but you have thrown out an interesting idea."

Ji Xu rolled his eyes, "Thank you for the compliment."

Lu Qian laughed even more happily, but the topic was still back on track.

"No, it's two projects, two different things."

"Of course, there is still some relationship more or less, because at the end of the story, the marriage was broken after all, and they also questioned their love."

"But these are two projects, and I'm 100 percent sure that the whole creative intent and starting point are different."

There was a pause.

"Actually, the source of inspiration for this project is Brother Su Changting..."

No matter what, Ji Xu, as a producer, also needs to know the ins and outs, otherwise the follow-up work cannot be carried out.

"That day, I accidentally met Brother Su and... his ex-wife at the Dome Cinema."

"This story was inspired by them. After I came back, I started writing. The whole process was very fast, and the script was completed very quickly."

"But... to be honest, it is still unknown whether this project can be put into production. It is not only necessary to seek the consent of Brother Su, but also the consent of his ex-wife."

"Although the story is only for inspiration, not a complete adaptation of their reality, we can ignore their opinions and invest in the production, but the two characters cast their shadows on them, and I think we still need to seek their consent. , it's a form of respect."

"After all, we are friends."

After he finished speaking, Lu Qian found that Ji Xu never responded.

Ji Xu is busy helping his chin, there are too many slots, where should I start?
