The mission given to Qin Ze by the system was to shoot a high-quality movie with his own ability. He really didn't know why the system would give him such a mission. Perhaps Qin Ze had been a salted fish for too long and was unwilling to accept it, so he wanted to clear his name.
In any case, the movie in the points store could not be exchanged for.
Time was tight, so adapting a novel was undoubtedly the fastest and best choice.
However, this novel made Qin Ze speechless and nervous at the same time.
"I don't think it's appropriate. How can a movie like this pass the censors?" Qin Bao Bao frowned.
"No problem. This is not a taboo novel," Mo Yu said.
The siblings looked at each other. For some reason, they saw 'stars' in each other's eyes. This … is not a taboo novel?
Then what the f * ck is a taboo novel?
"This kind of theme is very popular in Korea, but it's also very popular in our country. Duan Gongzi's novel is still being remade. "There's also a famous novel by a certain big shot in the Republic of China. It's a novel disguised as art, and it's about lovers becoming siblings in the end." Mo Yu said confidently, "This is a youth sadomasochistic novel. The wrong time, the wrong person, and it inexplicably tugs at the heartstrings deep in your heart."
Qin Ze said in his heart, "Someone, come and press down on Old Cao's coffin."
"Also, President Qin, this novel is in the top three best-selling novels. The fan base can be converted into box office sales to a certain extent. The key is that it's relatively short, ending at 300,000 words. It's not like other novels that can easily reach millions. "From the scriptwriter's point of view, this is the best choice," Mo Yu said.
Qin Ze turned and asked his sister, "Do you still want to be the female lead?"
Qin Bao Bao tilted her head and thought for a while. "I'll read the novel first, okay?"
Qin Ze said, "Discuss with the production team and confirm the cast list as soon as possible."
"Also, if we look for little fresh meats, will it affect our reputation?" Qin Ze pondered.
This was a problem. Little fresh meats were the product of market demand. Even if their reputation was bad, it was fine as long as they could make money. However, his movie had a rating requirement. It couldn't be lower than 8.5.
"In fact, if the little fresh meats show off their acting skills, they'll be able to get better reviews. In this regard, we need to check it out ourselves. Many production teams don't actually have high expectations for the little fresh meats' acting skills. That's why there's a bunch of lousy movies. But even if it's a lousy movie, with little fresh meats acting in it, it's still profitable."
On this point, Qin Ze felt that he could keep a check. If the little fresh meat did not act well in the production team, his scalp would be shaved off.
"Alright, hurry up and do it." Qin Ze said.
Mo Yu nodded and left the office.
Qin Ze and his sister were reading novels on their phones.
If this novel were to be placed in an online novel, it would be a proper female-themed novel. The main character was a female.
However, a female novel was the best choice for television adaptation. It was easier to film than a male novel that could easily destroy the world.
Qin Ze basically didn't read female novels. Women would enjoy the intrigue of the Otaku Family, but men would think, "Damn, so boring!"
However, when he really immersed himself in this novel, "If I Become Memories", he found that the writing was unexpectedly delicate. The plot was not exaggerated, and the delicate writing style was humorous.
It was very good!
Qin Ze went online to check. The author was a very famous female writer from the 1980s. She took the traditional route of physical publishing. No wonder her writing was so solid.
Qin Ze finished the 300,000-word novel in two to three hours.
The female protagonist was called Chu Xiangxiang. She was born in an ordinary family, but she grew up to be beautiful. She said, "The red flowers I got in kindergarten can circle my home twice. The boys who had a crush on me in junior high can circle the field three times. The boys who confessed to me in high school can form the 300 Spartans.
But, I'm so outstanding, but I don't have a boyfriend even when I'm in university. It's tiring! "
When Qin Ze saw this sentence, he felt that it was quite funny. He subconsciously turned to look at his sister. This character setting was similar to his sister's.
When the female protagonist was in her second year of university, there was a crazy cool boy among the freshmen. The description of the novel: He was 1.8 meters tall, straight and tall. He had a face so handsome that it made people despair. His facial features were deep …
Qin Ze's brain twitched. "Sister, don't you think I'm handsome?"
Qin Bao Bao looked at her phone with great interest. "Handsome!"
"Is he handsome enough to make you despair?"
"Crazy."
“.....”
It seems that the distance between the male protagonist and me is only the word "despair".
Such a handsome male protagonist immediately attracted the attention of countless girls. He was named as the school beau.
On a certain afternoon when one was thinking about eating and eating … No, thinking about eating and eating, the female protagonist and her roommates went for a walk in the field. They found that the basketball field was surrounded by many girls who were screaming excitedly.
Her roommates also screamed, "Mo Chenfeng, he's playing basketball."
Mo Chenfeng, the male protagonist's name.
Sure enough, a name like mine can't be the main character.
Qin Ze pursed his lips.
The female protagonist was dragged by her roommates to watch the male protagonist play basketball. There was a psychological description here. The female protagonist was amazed by the male protagonist's handsomeness, but the female protagonist wasn't moved at all. She was very calm.
The female protagonist with a heart as calm as still water!
Female protagonists were all like this. They had the ability to clear their hearts.
Then, a ball flew over and hit the female protagonist's … roommate.
The male protagonist came over and said coldly, "Are you okay?"
The roommate was instantly infatuated. "I'm fine."
The male protagonist picked up the ball and turned to leave.
The female protagonist's brain twitched. She stuck out her chest and said, "Stop right there."
"What's the matter!"
"You're not going to apologize after hitting someone?"
The male protagonist's face darkened. It was as cold as ice, but it made the girls' hearts beat faster.
Facing such a charming man, the female protagonist didn't move at all. She was really determined.
Then, "I hit you?"
"You should apologize for hitting my friend."
"Boring."
The female protagonist scolded angrily, "Scumbag, shameless."
She dragged her roommate away.
The male protagonist looked at her back silently. This woman is a bit interesting.
He smiled evilly.
"Sister, look at me," he said.
Qin Bao Bao looked up. "What's the matter?"
Qin Ze smiled evilly.
Qin Bao Bao: "???"
Qin Ze smiled evilly twice.
Qin Bao Bao: "???"
Qin Ze smiled evilly three times.
Qin Bao Bao: "Is your face cramping?"
So, what was the meaning of this evil smile?
Qin Ze's mind was full of crap.
The whole novel was more than 300,000 words. Qin Ze finished reading it in two hours. The plot in the early part was shallow, but it got better in the middle and later part. After reading the ending, he was actually quite touched.
Even he, who didn't read romance novels, felt that it was good. There was a reason why this book was so popular.
"Sister, this book feels good. Why don't we film it?"
"Okay!" Qin Bao Bao looked up.
"… Why are you crying?" Qin Ze asked.
"It's too touching. You only know how to make me cry." Qin Bao Bao sniffled. Her eyes were red. "I want to play the female lead."
Qin Ze thought for a moment. "Okay."
The novel was not bad. It was not as dirty as online novels. The theme was youth, love, and school. The character design was very similar to his sister. It was not a problem for her to play the role.
Qin Ze thought to himself. It's decided then. If this novel was filmed well, it would definitely make his sister famous.
Anyway, I'm not the male lead. I can film it as much as I want. It's better than filming the bloody battle at Shanghai Beach. If my parents want to watch it, I can take them to the cinema.
As long as it was not too bad or awkward, a movie with a slightly sad tone would have a good reputation. This was the route that literary films took. Similarly, the quality of the actors would also increase.
However, a movie that was not popular did not suit his mission. The system's mission was to call it good and then call it good.
Therefore, the filming method of this movie could not be too literary. It had to suit the tastes of the public. He had to make this clear to the director.
It was not that there were no youth romance movies that used a small budget to achieve a big box office. There were such examples in the past.
Two days later, the revised script was out.
At the same time, the actors were basically gathered and the crew was officially established.
The male lead was a popular young hunk. He was not as handsome as Qin Ze but was more beautiful than Qin Ze. Inexplicably, Qin Ze thought of a saying: You're different from those flirtatious sluts outside. You're more flirtatious than them.
When the young hunk heard that he was going to work with Qin Bao Bao, he was very happy and happily accepted the movie. Before signing the contract, he had to read the script first.
Besides the male lead, Qin Ze left the other supporting roles to the artists under Tian Fang.
However, just a day before the filming officially started, Mo Yu, as the director, had just finished mobilizing the actors. There was a problem with the actors.
The young hunk's manager requested for a raise before the filming started. Otherwise, he would not sign the contract.
Mo Yu asked him how much he wanted.
"Raise it to 100 million!"
The little fresh meat's manager replied on the phone, his tone full of conviction.
Mo Yu did not agree or reject him. He said that he had to ask his superiors.
Mo Yu told Qin Ze about this and said, "I heard that a production team wanted to sign him. They offered 100 million and the other party agreed. They really have all kinds of idiots. "
Qin Bao Bao frowned.
In the current market, there were not many young hunks who dared to ask for 100 million for a movie. This was definitely not a price that a young hunk should have. In the film industry, a few hundred million investment was considered a blockbuster. It was not like you were the only one filming the movie. There were other actors, crew, post-production, and other miscellaneous expenses. If the box office was not high, it would be a flop.
Mo Yu: "CEO Qin, do you want to increase it?"
Qin Bao Bao: "Let's change it."
Mo Yu: "But the other young hunks, A-listers, all seem to have their schedules. Those who are not A-listers are not as good. Also, the pay is high. Why don't we use this?"
Qin Bao Bao was about to say something when Qin Ze waved his hand and said loudly, "Ask him to get lost!"
Mo Yu: "Then we can only delay the filming. I'll see if there are any suitable male leads."
Qin Ze frowned. "At most, delay it for a day. Time is points … money. We can't delay it for too long."
Although he did not know why his boss was so anxious, it was too difficult to find a suitable actor in a day.
Those who could not fulfill his boss's test would not get a raise or a promotion. Mo Yu pondered.
The filming was going to start tomorrow. Where could they find a popular young hunk? It was not easy to sign a celebrity. They had a lot of work to do and needed to contact their management companies first. Then, the management companies would help them screen or ask for their opinion.
Therefore, it was very troublesome to sign a young hunk in a day. How good would it be if Tianfang already had a popular young hunk?
