Chapter IX Micro-movie-style Propaganda Films(2/2)
People have been abandoned in outer space, but they can still be optimistic enough to eat hot pot in the spacecraft and ask for rescue? This is simply unbelievable.
"Didn't I explain it in the previous article? Xiaomei is an optimistic, timid and cowardly child. It's not surprising that she behaves like this. And this is a promotional video. Is it possible that there are really stupid netizens who can't get along with me?"
Ji Yingzi waved her hands and said nonchalantly.
This is also true.
But……
"Teacher Ji, this script of yours can be used to make a movie. Why would you use it to make a promotional video and overuse the material?" This time it was Li Youqing's turn to be full of curiosity.
The script is actually quite well written, and the core of the story is also very interesting. If it were to be made into a science fiction movie, Ji Yingzi's ability would definitely gain something. At the very least, it would be better than making a promotional film.
Ji Yingzi shrugged helplessly and said: "I would like to, but now no investor is willing to take the risk to invest. They say that investing in me is too risky and the investment is also high. It is better to take the money and invest in Seven
Eight small-budget movies, at least they are guaranteed to make a profit without losing money. Do you look at the human words they say?"
"But there is no other way! Who gave these people money, so I can only try my best to make a promotional video to prove myself again."
Finally, Ji Yingzi revealed the reason why she wanted to take part in this promotional video.
As a director who opened the door to science fiction movies and closed it at the same time, Ji Yingzi's reputation in Chinese science fiction movies is mixed
He has the ability to make a bad movie with low box office like "Blue Fortress".
It stands to reason that since it is half and half, there should be more or less people who are willing to take risks and invest.
But today's movie environment is sluggish, and the cost of investing in science fiction movies is high. It can easily cost hundreds or hundreds of millions. There is no way that many investors can achieve this level of strength.
What's more, someone has made a calculation. Instead of investing 100 million in a science fiction movie, it is better to divide it into 100 million to invest in a small-cost movie. At least this can greatly reduce risks and increase returns.
Therefore, after a comprehensive evaluation, no one is willing to continue investing in science fiction movies.
As for Ji Yingzi herself, it is only half and half.
"But don't worry, Youyou, I can guarantee that this promotional video will be amazing." Perhaps because she was worried that these words would misunderstand Li Youqing, Ji Yingzi hurriedly patted her chest after finishing speaking.
"I may have to go back and discuss this with Beibei." Li Youqing looked at the script in his hand and said after hesitation.
An investment of 20 million is not a small amount, and she certainly cannot make arbitrary decisions.
"Okay, you can take this script back and show it to Boss Jiang. I think it has a stronger story than "Wandering Blue"."
The meaning of Ji Yingzi's words can be traced back to the time when he and Jiangbei were arguing about the quality of the stories of "Blue Fortress" and "Wandering Blue". Unfortunately, Li Youqing didn't quite understand what it meant. He just nodded with a vague understanding, and then said with
The script is about to leave Erjing Film and Television and go home to discuss it with Jiangbei.
But just as she left the lounge, Xiao Nizi heard some news that made her a little sad.
"Guan Chengya took the lead role in "Feng Hua"!"
"Yan Xien took on the role of the heroine in "Midsummer's Sky Starry". This is her first film after her transformation!"
"Yang Ziyan is not bad either. Her resources seem to be good recently. She has already filmed three movies and TV series in a row."
"Shh! Stop talking, Li Youqing is out."
"Go quickly, go quickly."
Seeing Li Youqing's appearance, the company employees who were gathered together for discussion fell silent and left in a hurry.
Xiao Nizi held the script in her hand, her eyes filled with disappointment.
Ji Yingzi just happened to follow and walked out. When she saw this scene, she comforted: "The entertainment industry is like this. Rather than leaving your destiny in the hands of others, it is better to find a way to fight for it yourself, just like a teacher."
Li Youqing responded with silence, only clenching the hand holding the script slightly, which showed her inner unrest at the moment.
She's not stupid.
She knows very well that the company's current attitude is very problematic.
It's just that she has no choice.
But now...
