Watching the beauty under the light.

In the entertainment industry, there have always been many beauties. The stars who became famous last year are not out of date yet. Another wave of newcomers grew up quickly, more tender and more beautiful. But even in such a circle where beautiful women are everywhere, it is rare to see women who are so beautiful.

Lu Lingxi was wearing a pair of trousers that looked very ordinary, with a pair of high heels with a not-high heel under her feet. She worked for an hour or two in the evening and was sweating all over. At this moment, she was sitting on the sofa opposite Li Qian, holding a cup of hot water in her hand, and crossing her legs comfortably. The black trousers of ordinary fabric were slightly tight. From Li Qian's perspective, the joints of the legs and hips were stretched out in a perfect and exaggerated curve.

Flexible and beautiful, but without a simple and fleshy feeling.

She sighed and said, "But then again, you think I don't want to make money!...Maybe in the eyes of you big bosses who have succeeded, making money is really a simple thing. Just move your fingers casually, just like drinking water, but for us... it's difficult!"

Li Qian smiled.

There is no need to be humble. Whether he makes music or TV series, although he is not trying to make money, it is undeniable that anything he does eventually brings huge economic benefits. In Lu Lingxi and the others' opinion, there is indeed nothing to say. If you have to be humble, it seems a bit fake.

However, Li Qian still said, "Teacher Lu, I have to interrupt you. It's not as easy as drinking water for me to make money."

This time it was Lu Lingxi's turn to laugh.

After a while, she put down her legs and put the water cup on the sofa. She got up and opened a file cabinet in the corner of the living room. She took out a folder, walked back, handed it to Li Qian, and said, "After reading your book "The Legend of the New White Snake", I knew you were a master in this field. You can not only make unconventional films, but also ensure that you sell the market... Come and help the teacher take a look."

Li Qian took the book and opened it. The name written on the first page was: "The Last Letter".

Without opening it, Li Qian first looked up at Lu Lingxi and asked, "Your work?"

Lu Lingxi smiled and raised her legs again.

Li Qian subconsciously turned his head and glanced at the tense arc.

She seemed a little hesitant, but finally chose to speak, saying: "A few years ago, I have written some books, sent them everywhere, contacted film and television companies, and even asked many senior brothers, sisters and old professors to give me some investment, and I also used my own university graduation works and graduate graduation works to show people everywhere. However, everyone thought it was not possible, but many people advised me to change my career and act..."

Speaking of this, she smiled self-deprecatingly, "Haha, then I thought, forget it, I may not have the talent to be a director, and the script may be written... I think it should not be considered completely bad, but it must be a bit self-centered. So, I will teach steadily and be content with poverty! Until recently, Lu Ping came to me and hoped that I would help him write a notebook, so we discussed it together. Until now, the notebook has not been agreed to write it for him, but he in turn encouraged me and asked me to give him the best notebook he thought was the best. He patted his chest and said that he could help me invest... You know, I am also a filmmaker, and I couldn't help but feel a little moved with such an opportunity."

Li Qian immediately understood, put down the script, and smiled and said, "Then you don't have to read it. Since Senior Brother Lu has patted his chest, there is definitely no problem! Prove that he believes in your ability!"

Lu Lingxi looked up at Li Qian and smiled, "Do you really don't understand, or pretend to be confused?"

If it were another student, Lu Lingxi probably wouldn't talk to him like this, but when facing Li Qian, she could speak a little more clearly. Not only did she take Li Qian's class for a year, but she also took Li Qian's class out to collect folks several times. She had been in-depth dealings, so naturally she didn't treat Li Qian as a young man in her early twenties at all.

Li Qian curled his lips, "I really don't understand."

Lu Lingxi was too lazy to sue him, so she said directly: "Tell me, let me see if I see it."

So, can you not show it?

Just now, Lu Lingxi asked him to keep it for a while, and Li Qian knew that she must have something to look for her. She didn't expect that she would ask herself to help her advise on the script. The script was not too long and the story was not big at all. Moreover, Lu Lingxi liked to write in some simple styles in many places.

Li Qian understands this, and has seen more than one such script in his past and present life.

Especially for scripts written by people who are directors, many people like this "vague treatment".

To put it bluntly, when the director was in the script stage, he felt that many things were only understood but not expressed in words. He had to pull them in front of the camera and told the photographer that I would like this and this, and that the actors would like this and that I would like you.

What's more, there are some great guys who don't even have a script at all. When the filming starts, the actor doesn't know what he is going to play, and the photographer doesn't know what he is going to play. When the filming starts, the director gives a small note to two fingers wide. You, run from here, run there and run to the death, it's OK. Then, filming over and over again, the actor runs over and over again, until one time, he thinks you are running out of a certain state, OK, you can do it until the filming is finished, the actor doesn't know what character he is playing, and what is the scene for!

Lu Lingxi is slightly better, but there are still general stories.

This script, called "The Last Letter", describes a woman who is about to die and her husband is dead. At this time, the funeral is in progress. Listening to the crying of her children and grandchildren outside, the woman picked up a pen on the hospital bed and wrote a letter to a person she had secretly fallen in love with for the rest of her life. In the letter, she recalled her life, recalled four "false" and "realistic" loves in the past few decades, and again, in an extremely enthusiastic tone, expressing her love for that man.

Typical art film approach.

After reading the beginning, Li Qian couldn't help but want to ask if this was adapted from Zweig's "Letter from a Stranger Woman", but he was not sure if Zweig was the same person in this time and space, so he suppressed it and didn't dare to ask.

Then, as he looked, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

If you change to a literary and artistic director of this method, it may be very charming, but even if it is as awesome as Master Zhang or Jiang Mazi in another time and space, this film will probably not be able to sell any decent box office.

It is a very niche story, and it uses terrible flashback techniques, and the director must use all his strength to play a certain level of life pursuit, which almost means that it will not be a movie that is loved by most people.

To be honest, if this kind of movie is filmed according to the Lu Lingxi book, I am afraid that even many pseudo-literary young people may not like it!

Li Qian thinks he is not a commercial film fan who is so stinking that he only knows how to make money. He also likes many literary and artistic films that he particularly wants to present in this world, but even he still admires such literary and artistic films that are clearly already in a dead end, and then stays away from them.

…………

Lu Lingxi's house is on the third floor. On early autumn nights, the windows are open and even a little cool.

Autumn insects chirp, paper pages are flipped.

Lu Lingxi held the teacup and looked at Li Qian, who was watching the script with a little excitement.

The feelings between people are very complex and subtle.

It’s like between her and Li Qian. She just went to take classes in Li Qian’s class in her sophomore year. At that time, Liao Liao and Zhou Lao had not started fighting. Everyone didn’t know Li Qian’s true identity, and Lu Lingxi certainly didn’t know. But after two or three times, Lu Lingxi naturally stopped treating Li Qian as a student, but regarded it as an equal thing for someone who could communicate with him equally, and even some things could be entrusted to his peers to see the students and teachers. It’s hard to say that there is a saying of friendship, especially during school, when the identity is ambiguous, and the emphasis on “respecting teachers and respecting the way” in China has always emphasized that the identities of the two sides during dialogue are a certain difference... But, Lu Lingxi taught their class not long ago, and she must be teachers and students with other students, but Li Qian is probably a bit of an old friend.

From that time on, Lu Lingxi vaguely felt that this guy might be able to achieve something in the future.

As a result, before the future, Li Qian's true identity was revealed, which made Lu Lingxi sigh: No wonder!

If there is such a student, no matter who the teacher is, it is of course easy to be proud of him. Deer Lingxi naturally cannot avoid the vulgarity. Therefore, over time, this feeling of being both a teacher and a friend makes the relationship between both parties become more and more natural.

But before that, even though the two had a good relationship, and Lu Lingxi looked more at Li Qian's future, she still didn't expect that Li Qian had just been in his junior year, and Li Qian had already forced her to look at him with admiration again.

His "New Legend of White Snake" was done so that even Lu Lingxi felt nothing to say.

And it’s not just her, but many teachers and colleagues in the film school talk about this TV series, and they have to admit that in terms of TV series, this is an amazing masterpiece! So naturally, the teachers who have taken the Li Qian course are honored and served as Li Qian’s class, and have a good relationship with him. Lu Lingxi, who is now the head of Li Qian’s department, has been joked by his colleagues more than once, "Teacher Lu, no wonder you had to take the graduate student in the photography department at that time, and he also went to teach the photography department after graduation. The foreshadowing of the relationship is here!"

Speaking of which, it's just a smile.

Of course, she could not have known that the photography department would have such a monster student a few years ago, so naturally she could not have planned to say this a few years ago, and everyone was just envious.

For example, now, as a teacher, you can hand him the notebook and ask him to help the staff officer to say it is a staff officer. In fact, you are basically waiting for his opinions to fall!

The reason is that the comprehensive qualities shown by his disciple in "The Legend of the New White Snake" are amazing! Therefore, even if he is as proud as Lu Lingxi, he thinks he is qualified to judge the quality of his script, and even value his evaluation very much.

…………

The script is not long, about 20,000 words, but Li Qian reads it very carefully.

It took more than half an hour to finish reading it. After thinking about it, Li Qian turned back and thought about several places carefully. Then he raised his head, looked at Lu Lingxi, thought about his words, and asked with a smile: "Do you want to hear the truth, or do you lie?"

Lu Lingxi breathed stagnant when she heard this.

But she covered up very well, and her eyes were slightly dull, and she soon smiled slightly again.

"As soon as I heard you ask this, I know it's over. Then just tell the truth!" she smiled.

Li Qian also smiled and said, "The book is a good book. If Qin Wei is willing to shoot it, I believe it must be very beautiful."

Lu Lingxi nodded and waited for a long time to see Li Qian stop talking. She couldn't help but say, "Don't say half of the words, then?"

Li Qian thought about it and said, "If Senior Brother Lu Ping comes to film... it will be a test. Although he has a certain reputation and appeal, I still don't think he can make money."

Lu Lingxi was stunned for a moment and nodded.

That's all, it's over.

Qin Wei, the three major domestic film stars, ranks first. He is a great director who enjoys a certain reputation all over the world and can also be regarded as a banner-carrying figure in domestic films. Therefore, if he likes this book and shoots it, then the sign of "Director Qin Wei" alone, no matter how obscure the movie is, he will not lose money. His appeal is there! The name Qin Wei alone can support a box office of more than 50 million yuan.

So, this is just a good person, but it actually has no meaning at all.

On the contrary, the latter one is what Li Qian really means.

Lu Ping has not debuted for a long time, but he has become a big shot among the directors of the post-70s generation. With time, Qin Wei may become the future, perhaps with his current fame and the ability to control after filming several movies, he will probably lose money. He will probably lose money after filming, let alone others?

What's more, yourself?

Li Qian said this, which means that in his opinion, this script has almost no commercial value.

…………

The atmosphere is a little cold.

Li Qian looked at Lu Lingxi's face, as if he was a little disappointed, but he seemed to be relieved. He couldn't help but smile and said, "But it doesn't matter. Since Senior Brother Lu patted his chest and said he could get investment for you, he can talk about it! Besides, I'm just a family, don't believe me. Since Senior Brother Lu wants the book, you should give it to him and let him judge it, which is more appropriate. Maybe he thinks this is a movie that can make money!"

Lu Lingxi looked up at him, smiled, put away the notebook, and sighed: "Forget it! I won't show it to him!"

Li Qian was a little puzzled and asked, "Why? Do you really think I am Qin Wei? If I say no, you don't think it's okay?"

Lu Lingxi smiled and said, "You are definitely not Teacher Qin Wei, but I still trust your grasp of business. Since you have said everything, you will definitely lose money after taking it. How can I use it for someone to show it and get someone to invest for me?"

Of course, that's not what I said.

The value of a movie, or when a film and television company considers whether to invest in a movie, it will certainly give priority to box office guarantee, but box office does not represent the full value of a movie.

For example, some companies have a lot of commercial blockbusters and have a high success rate. Sometimes, even though they know they will lose some money, they are still willing to invest in some niche art films with limited costs.

In order to enrich the film library, the advantage of literary and artistic films is that their video tapes and DVDs are often good. If you hold the copyright in your hand, you can consider selling them for a long time and slowly recovering your money. Once the time goes by, you can still make money or even make small profits after several years.

Secondly, you can also take this opportunity to discover and win over some emerging new directors. The invested films may be compensated, but on the one hand, this kind of art film is limited, and a film and television company with some confidence can afford to lose even if it loses a few movies. On the other hand, if you lose hundreds of millions of dollars in a few movies, even if you can discover a good director who can be reliable in the future, you will have already made a profit!

For example, Li Qian knew that he would lose money, but he still invested in Jinhan's "On the Road", which is both of the above considerations.

Just watching the movie "On the Road", it may be a loss of money, but if you can maintain cooperation with Jin Han for five years or even more than ten years, then Li Qian is sure that he will definitely make a profit!

Although Lu Lingxi has always been on the campus of Shuntian Film Academy, according to what she said, she has gone out to try to make a living. So Li Qian didn't know whether she knew these considerations of the film and television company, but thinking about it again, even though she didn't know at first, since Senior Brother Lu Ping had already told her, he should have mentioned it. So when he said that, he still took it back.

After thinking about it, he just smiled and said, "Then am I a villain between you and Senior Brother Lu Ping?"

Lu Lingxi smiled, blinked a little hurriedly, and replied with a smile: "For Lu Ping, maybe this is the case, but for me, it has helped me a little favor." After a pause, she smiled brighter and brighter, "I dare not owe you men's favors!"

Li Qian was shocked when he heard this. Some of the words he wanted to say were originally intended, but as soon as Lu Lingxi said this, he immediately called back what he wanted to say. In fact, if it was out of the movie itself, if Lu Lingxi could accept it and change the script slightly, Li Qian would really want to tell her that I could invest in this drama.

Whether it was a coincidence or Lu Lingxi vaguely guessed Li Qian’s thoughts, in short, her light words blocked the road.

Moreover, she blocked her own way.
