billion box office tycoon

"Rebirth?" Ye Ci was in a daze. He fantasized about the scene of rebirth. All kinds of things from his previous life flooded into his mind in an instant. He wanted to do it again many times, but now he was a little unwilling.

It's like a dull and long movie, after watching it once, you don't want to watch it a second time.

"Yes, but... In order not to break the rules of each world, all users cannot be reborn back to the original world, and they cannot take advantage of the prophets to vigorously plunder resources. This kind of loophole appeared during the internal testing stage of the system. Some people were reborn into the original world. After his own world, he frantically seized stocks and securities funds to speculate land, even made war fortunes, and sat on beautiful women from all over the world, not only did not show the value of the director system at all, but also messed up that world, and was eventually obliterated by the system."

"You mean to say that I will be reborn in another world." Ye Ci raised his eyebrows.

"Yes, and...the rebirth given by the system requires conditions." Xiaolu also learned to raise her eyebrows, but there were no obvious features of eyebrows on that funny two-dimensional face.

"The condition is that you need to shoot a movie in the system and get 100 million box office revenue before you can be reborn."

"What?" Ye Ci was shocked again, "I know the system can shoot movies, but how do you calculate the box office?"

Little Green clicked on the system, and the huge translucent screen in front of him displayed the interface at the beginning, and the half-yearly and monthly rankings that strongly promoted the gold rankings once again flooded his eyes: "These rankings and recommendations are all based on box office and movie reviews. It is supported by people, otherwise what do you think it is?"

"But how is the box office counted?" Ye Ci was still puzzled, he originally thought that these were all related to reality.

"Each user needs to pay 200 Jinjiang coins to watch a movie, the system draws 40%, and the rest will be counted as box office revenue."

"For example, you click on the movie "Resurrection from the Dead." Before Xiaolu finished speaking, dozens of criss-crossing rows of seats appeared all around in an instant, and more than a dozen vague figures were looming among them. Standing in mid-air, the lights are fragmented and dim, highlighting the unique mysterious atmosphere of the theater.

It's a pity that a big 'Pay' button is blocked on the theater screen, and a few lines of small characters next to it are written with the end show time and the number of reservations.

"100 million box office..." Ye Ci was speechless when he saw a reservation with less than 50 people.

"Biefang, master, you can definitely do it! Now for your rebirth, hurry up and prepare for the shooting!"

"Because you are short of funds, master, you can only shoot the script specified by the system." Little Green clicked on the system information, and the icon of a mail just received was flashing.

Ye Ci had no choice but to download the script given by the system, and he couldn't help but secretly pray that this script would not be as cheating as the free script in the novice package.

After downloading, Ye Ci immediately extracted the script, which was called "True Script". This too casual title instantly gave Ye Ci a bad feeling.

He frowned unconsciously, and opened it without a moment's pause——

Scene One: Act One

Time: Summer 1997

Location: Building [-], Area B, Dormitory Building, Huaxia Academy of Drama

Characters: Ye Ci, Tang Yiwen, Tang Yizhe, A, B and C, etc.

After Ye Ci finished playing basketball, he walked in humming a song.

In the dormitory, A and B are playing chess, and C is watching.

On the balcony with several pots of green potted plants, Tang Yiwen was watering quietly.

The whole dormitory is quiet and dynamic, harmonious.

……

With a "snap", the thick script was slammed by Ye Ci, he clenched his teeth, his head was throbbing, his pulse and heart rate seemed to be beating uncontrollably, so much so that he almost used up all his willpower That's why he didn't tear up the script that summarized his life.

The joys and pains of Yeats' life were randomly generated into a script by the system, as if anyone could easily pry into its secrets.

"Master, please control your emotions..." Xiaolu looked at him with worried eyes, "If you can't pass this level, you can only be trapped in the system forever."

Ye Ci lowered his head, his overly long bangs almost covered half of his face. Although Xiaolu couldn't see his expression clearly, she could guess that the other party was definitely not feeling well.

After a long silence, Ye Ci's voice sounded softly: "Tell me, does everyone selected by the system have to shoot an autobiography in order to get a new life? Or... it's just me."

"Neither of them, this is a random task of the system, most people are different from you, master, but a small number of people are the same, but no matter what, the difficulty is the same, even if another script is drawn, the situation will not be the same Better than now."

"Since this is the case..." Ye Ci glanced across the script in the virtual form in his hand without any emotion, and said in a cold voice, "Then get ready to shoot."

Due to the lack of funds in the system, it was impossible for Ye Ci to 'buy' actors, and he could only be forced to choose from the list of novice actors randomly drawn by the system.

The Jinjiang Best Actor system and the Jinjiang Director system are interrelated, and the upgrade modes are similar. Ye Ci, as a newcomer to the 'Best Director' system, must pass the test before he can be reborn. Same.

However, there are always more people who dream of becoming actors than directors, even in the system, so when Ye Ci saw the long list of free actors provided by the system, he couldn't help feeling a little bit Speechless.

Ye Ci took a quick look and found that there were more than 200 actors and actresses, and there were not a few of them who had brilliant careers during their lifetime. The actors and actresses all broke through triple digits.

What a luxury...Ye Ci's originally somewhat resistant mood disappeared after seeing this list, and even raised a sliver of expectation.

The movie needed three leads, all men.

In addition to playing the absolute protagonist of 'Ye Ci', there are also two Tang brothers who have influenced his life.

After half a day of pondering and selection, Ye Ci selected more than a dozen relatively suitable people from the more than 700 actors, and then sent out invitation messages respectively.

Soon, there was a reply, except for one person who rejected it on the grounds of 'just took another role', the rest said they could try it.

The 'trial' function is also free for the system. After Ye Ci made an appointment with someone, he turned his attention to the script again.

Ye Ci flipped through the script from beginning to end, and the most intuitive feeling is...truth.

It is more appropriate to say that it is a novel than a script.

It describes Yeats' life in great detail. If it is an autobiographical novel, it may be called "good", but as a movie script, it seems too daily and trivial.

A large number of life-related events are ordinary and dull, while the parts that highlight the most intense contradictions lack dramatic guidance. Even if it is heartbreakingly heavy, it will not be different from other bad movies, let alone improve its style.

If the filming was really done according to the timeline of the script, Ye Ci estimated that he would not have the chance to be reborn again.

What's more, he didn't want to use "tragic experience" as the theme and selling point of this movie. The reason is very simple.

His life was indeed bumpy, but there are many people who are more miserable than him, and the direction of his personal destiny has little to do with the background of the times and the historical process of the country, so he cannot become the epitome of a special era, making the character lack representative significance, so It lacks a kind of direct appeal to people's hearts.

There are many ways to judge the success of a movie, box office, awards, film critics, influence...there are different ways, and Yeats never regards these as the only criteria for judging, just like everyone in the film industry , He has his own principles, and in this principle, the most important thing is the appeal of the film.

Rational filmmakers aim to be thought-provoking, emotional filmmakers aim to touch people's hearts, and successful filmmakers often have both.

Yeats thought he was the latter, and he decided to make major revisions to the script.

All the scripts in the system, whether bought with money or given away by the system, have a very high degree of freedom and can be modified at will without worrying about copyright issues. In order to highlight the theme of the movie, Yeats deleted some The boring and lengthy content of the novel, fictionalized some more tense plots.

The so-called "more tension" is an experience that is more painful than the pain he actually experienced.

Just like the pain of a needle pricking a finger, what it presents on the big screen must be heart-piercing pain.

"There is no way..." Ye Ci stared at the script, talking to himself with trembling lips, as if he was comforting himself or expressing his involuntary feelings to others, his eyes were bright with pain and excitement Unbelievable, shining but strange and inexplicable.

The author has something to say: The introduction of the system is a bit too much ORZ...Everyone can bear with this chapter, and the next chapter will start the bloody plot!

Another: The commenter is going to die!

Even if you dislike the pit, even if you keep the fat, let me see your plump, vigorous and lively figures!
