Entertainment: The joy of being a director is beyond your imagination

Chapter 53. Aren’t you hooking up with a rich woman? Why are you picking my pockets?

Pei Ran expected Han Sanping to take the script of Detective Chinatown first.

So he simply said: "If it is just a suspense film, the audience is actually very small, but if you add comedy elements to the suspense, the audience will double or even more."

however.

Han Sanping didn't say anything, he just flipped through the script.

Pei Ran was smoking calmly.

No panic at all.

The script of Detective Chinatown 1 is okay, with a suspenseful core and a comedic shell. In the original script of Detective Chinatown 1, although there is an easter egg for Detective Chinatown 2, there is nothing in the plot of the film that can be linked to Detective Chinatown 2, and there is no foreshadowing.

So Pei Ran directly used his cheating ability.

Changed it a bit.

The plot also focuses on suspense, deletes a small part of the funny scenes of the male protagonist while solving the case, and leaves three or four foreshadowings to pave the way for Detective Chinatown 2.

Han Sanping read the script of Detective Chinatown very seriously and smoked several cigarettes unconsciously. When he finished the fourth cigarette, he put down the script of Detective Chinatown and picked up the script of Manslaughter.

Compared to the slightly frowned brows when watching Detective Chinatown.

When watching Manslaughter, his expression was more relaxed.

And it took longer to watch Manslaughter.

Nearly twenty minutes passed before Han Sanping put down the script in his hand. Then he looked at the young man in front of him again. His eyes were a little sharp. "Director Pei Ran, I think... this is not the script you wrote, right?"

"Why did Mr. Han say that?"

"Take the script of Manslaughter as an example. The whole plot revolves around 'montage-style lies'. The rhythm is smooth. The first half is enough to whet the appetite and also lays the groundwork. The second half only uses a few reversals to connect all the foreshadowing together, which perfectly interprets the term 'grass-grass-grass-snake-line'."

Han Sanping first praised the script, and then continued, "You are only 23 or 24 years old now, and you can write such a script. You have such talent?! You are more than just a genius, right?"

Hearing this, Pei Ran smiled.

He really wanted to say something childish: Genius is just the threshold to meet me.

Isn't it more difficult to become a time-traveling expert than to become a genius?
But he was afraid that Han Sanping would think he was too conceited, so he just smiled and then said seriously: "Boss Han can certainly suspect that I plagiarized the script, or that I am just trying to gain fame."

"So how do you want to prove it?"

"So how does Mr. Han want me to prove it?" Pei Ran asked back.

Pei Ran could also understand Han Sanping's current attitude.

The shortcomings of suspense films in Chinese films have suddenly been made up by a young man in his early twenties, and he can even make this original shortcoming into a strength...

If he were Han Sanping, he would have the same suspicion.

Besides, for Han Sanping to have reached his current status, if he had no doubts about anything and thought that any script anyone came up with could make a box office of 10 billion... that would be even more abnormal, right?

Han Sanping thought about it for a long time but couldn't explain it.

Pei Ran said, "How about...I write the script for Detective Chinatown 2 on the spot?"

"Didn't you say that the outline of Detective Chinatown 2 has been compiled? What can you prove by writing it? And if you really want to gain fame, then I'm afraid you have already prepared for my attitude. For example... you have memorized the script in advance."

"That's true. Mr. Han has really considered everything."

Pei Ran smiled and praised, then his expression became calm, "Boss Han, what is there to prove?" Han Sanping put another cigarette in his mouth, "Indeed, it doesn't make sense to prove it. If you really want to use someone else's work to get me to treat you differently, it's useless. If you really do this, after the movie is released, the public will see it and expose it directly, and then sue you... the truth will be revealed immediately."

"But if you are really a genius and you wrote the script yourself, then netizens will just give you good or bad reviews, there won't be that much to worry about."

Pei Ran continued, "No matter what the result is, Mr. Han, you won't lose anything."

……

After a moment of silence.

Han Sanping started laughing again, "I wanted to tease you, but I didn't expect you to take it seriously... But to be honest, you did surprise me a little, but compared to your Chinatown Detective, I like this Manslaughter better."

Pei Ran also laughed, "Is it because Manslaughter is more in line with Mr. Han's idea of ​​a suspense film? Or... because Detective Chinatown's script has too many comedic elements and is not pure enough?"

"Both." Han Sanping frowned slightly, "I think you can throw away this Tang Detective script, and concentrate on studying this Manslaughter script. It might be better to make a suspense movie world based on the world view of Manslaughter!"

Hearing this, Pei Ran explained: "The world view of Manslaughter is too small, far less than that of Tang Detective. Moreover, if you want to figure out Manslaughter 1 based on Manslaughter 2, it can be done, but the cost-effectiveness is not high."

"If you choose Tang Tan, it will be much easier..."

Before he finished speaking, Han Sanping interrupted, "But comedy and suspense mixed together... It's a bit weird. It's not like martial arts and kung fu complement each other."

"But will Mr. Han feel that this script is inconsistent?"

“Just reading the script… I really couldn’t feel it, but the effect of just looking at the script and the finished film is very different!”

Pei Ran said without hesitation:

"If I write the script, then I can make it well."

Hearing this, Han Sanping looked at Pei Ran with a look full of admiration, "Okay! Since you said so, I'll believe you!"

"Director Han, you can't just trust me, right?"

"What do you mean?"

"Please give me some consideration, old man!"

Pei Ran looked shy on the surface, but she was actually very happy!

Damn, can we finally get to the point? !

Han Sanping asked in confusion, "Shouldn't I ask you if you need any help, then politely decline, and then pretend to accept reluctantly? Why did you just reach out and ask for it?"

"Boss Han, you are just a full man who doesn't know the hunger of a hungry man. You know my situation. I am a poor bastard and I still owe Huayi Brothers a debt. So I really can't be polite to you anymore! If you continue to be polite, you will lose such a talented director like me!"

Hear this.

Han Sanping was so angry that he laughed.

"The cumulative box office has exceeded 300 million, but you don't have money, right?"

"Hehe, this is because we have debts, and making a movie also costs money!"

"Aren't you hooking up with a rich woman?"

"Jing Tian? He always spends women's money... Although I think it's okay, Jing Tian's father thinks it's wrong. But if I can attract investment from Huaying, then both of us will think it's okay!"

"You're asking for money directly, right? You're not even asking for it, you're just taking it out of my pocket!" Han Sanping looked at Pei Ran and couldn't help but laugh. Why did this guy change his expression so quickly?
