Chapter 781 The Big Forest Has Any Birds
"Director Mourning obviously hasn't turned back from the documentary mode. The most important thing in commercial films is to please the audience. Obviously, we need to establish the audience's position first. Who is decent, who is the protagonist, and who is the villain BOSS , and then, after going through hardships, defeating the opponent will give the audience a refreshing feeling."

"If a movie has no stand, it is a documentary, not a commercial movie." Xu Xiaodong said.

Lin Xiao nodded noncommittally.

For Xu Xiaodong, Lin Xiao still respects it quite a bit. It can be said that this first "Heroes of the Three Kingdoms" has no room for failure for the whole plan, only success is not allowed to fail.

It is impossible for Lin Xiao to devote all his energy to this, so Xu Xiaodong, the executive producer, is very important.

For Xu Xiaodong, this is also an opportunity for him to prove himself. If "Heroes of the Three Kingdoms" fails, then for him, the consequences will be even more serious, because he is trying to implement a producer-centered system, that is, Said that success or failure depends on him.

If it doesn't become popular even after opening the door, then there must be nothing wrong with him in the follow-up films.

The second director that Lin Xiao and Xu Xiaodong interviewed, or rather, the second director candidate they met was Director Li Ke.

Compared to Mourning, Li Ke's reputation is obviously much greater.

Although the films he made have been complained by the audience in recent years, he is still Huaguo's best director of historical blockbusters in ancient costumes.

Although director Li Ke lacks the ability to tell stories, Li Ke is definitely a master in the control of the big scene and the processing of the screen.

That's why, even though he knew that Li Ke might not accept giving up the final editing rights, Lin Xiao still listed him as one of the candidates.

Because if Li Ke can agree, then it will be the best choice, because although Li Ke is not good at telling stories, then let someone who can tell the story tell the story. Lin Xiao has almost done the script, of course, It's not the credit of Lin Xiao alone, but the hard work of many screenwriters.

"Boss Lin made a big deal, 200 billion, 25 movies, it's amazing." Li Ke sighed with a smile.

"I've studied the script, and I'm very interested. However, if I'm allowed to direct, I have a few requests that I hope you can agree to." Li Ke changed the subject and started asking directly.

He did have this qualification, but Lin Xiao still sighed slightly in his heart.

However, on the surface Lin Xiao still said with a smile: "Director Li, please tell me."

"First of all, when I'm making a film, I don't like to have too many other voices, because when making a film, I'm most afraid of laymen commanding experts."

"Secondly, I don't expect to have the right to decide the starring role of the film, but I need a veto!"

"Finally, I need to revise the script and hope to get full authorization!"

Li Ke 123 said his request.

Lin Xiao and Xu Xiaodong looked at each other and shook their heads secretly. It seems that Li Ke can basically pass.

Yes, you are a great director, but it has been a long time since you have been able to prove your ability. For a blockbuster film like "Three Kingdoms" with an investment of hundreds of millions, you must have absolute autonomy when you come up, and the starring role has a veto right , is too much.

It may seem like it's not the right to decide, but in reality, what's the difference?It's just another way of saying it.

Lin Xiao had heard before that Li Ke was notoriously strong. Lin Xiao thought it was a bit exaggerated before, but the fact is that Li Ke is not only strong, but also a bit too strong.

"Then Director Li, regarding the third point, the revision of the script, can you tell us your thoughts?" Lin Xiao still wanted to give the other party some face.

"First of all, I think that if Liu, Guan and Zhang are the protagonists of the first movie, it will not be much different from other movies. I want to use Lu Bulu Fengxian as the first protagonist, because this character has a very complicated personality. The background, experience, and his bravery to win the world are very dramatic conflicts in themselves."

Lin Xiao looked at Li Ke talking eloquently, but he felt like beeping the dog in his heart, Nima, no wonder you have been on the street for the past few years, what the hell, change according to Li Ke.

"Heroes of the Three Kingdoms" will directly become "Lu Bu of the Three Kingdoms".

According to Li Ke's idea, he will use thick pen and ink to focus on showing Lu Bu's mental journey, and so on.

Even Li Ke wanted to vilify Liu, Guan and Zhang to achieve the purpose of highlighting Lu Bu.Then he talked about this film that he wanted to express a sense of helplessness in the historical environment and so on.

This damn, there is no need to talk about it.

"I'm sorry, Director Li, it seems that we can't cooperate this time." Lin Xiao directly interrupted Li Ke's eloquent talk.

"Amount..." Li Ke frowned immediately.

"I forgot. You are also the director and the author of the original work. However, you should know that, to put it bluntly, there are not many directors in Huaguo who can shoot such grand scenes with thousands of troops." Li Ke Light and authentic.

The meaning is obvious, it means who else to give up.

It's just that he obviously overlooked one point, that is, although there are not many, there are still some, and others are not as difficult to deal with as him.

Another thing is that Li Ke is a bit dependent on the old, and his works have not been successful in business for a long time.

If it wasn't for the fact that the other party was a senior, Lin Xiao would have left with a wave of his sleeves.

It's really this Li Ke who thinks too highly of himself.

He didn't even think about it. Although he has made a lot of movies in the past few years, how many of them can be considered big productions?

The film company is not a fool who makes money quickly. Once or twice is okay, but the repeated mistakes have proved that his method will not work. It is ridiculous that he himself thinks that his films are more profound than before.

"I'm sorry, Director Li, we can't agree to any of the three conditions you raised, so I can only say sorry for wasting your time." Lin Xiao stood up after speaking.

Li Ke's old face has become a little ugly.

It's just that he was about to have a seizure, but Lin Xiao took a deep look, and his words were blocked in his throat immediately.

At this moment, he suddenly realized that the young man in front of him was not a small person, and he was not someone he could overwhelm with seniority. Lin Xiao was not only a director, but also the helm of a company with a market value of over [-] billion.

After leaving, Xu Xiaodong couldn't help sighing: "Even in Hollywood, those big directors who have proven themselves are not like this director Li." He didn't know how to describe it.

Hollywood also has very strong directors, but those directors are not as strong as Li Ke when facing investors. Those strong directors are strong in their control of the crew and filming work.

It's not like Li Ke, who has many requirements, and looks like no one else can make it without me.

It's hard for Xu Xiaodong to imagine that an "outdated" director who hasn't had a blockbuster work for several years can still have such confidence.
