Chapter 852: Making up a story to paint a picture

"Maybe it's really an illusion." Xia Yan found that the feeling of being peeped at disappeared when he and Lin Fan left the deck, and he felt a little confused.

Maybe I am just too sensitive. If it was really fans who discovered me and Lin Fan, they would have come up to me a long time ago. After all, it is rare to meet them overseas or in the Southern Hemisphere. It would be a waste of such a chance if I don't take a photo with them or sign an autograph or something.

In particular, Lin Fan is well-known in the circle for being a fan-pampering person. As long as the fans do not do anything excessive or radical, Lin Fan can get along happily with his fans.

There is no reason why he wouldn't come up and say hello when he meets fans.

Lin Fan's passive skill stopped working at this moment: "It doesn't look like a paparazzi."

As for the paparazzi, even if Lin Fan took Xia Yan away from a public place, they would definitely follow quietly and take pictures. Then Lin Fan's passive skill would not be turned off until he completely got rid of the paparazzi.

No matter how big the Deep Blue is, it is still a ship. Before getting off the ship, or before the paparazzi voluntarily gives up tracking him, Lin Fan will probably have to endure this passive skill, which keeps jumping around in his mind.

Now that the skill has been automatically turned off, it can be proved that the people who are targeting him and Xia Yan are not paparazzi.

"That's really strange. She's neither a fan nor a paparazzi," Xia Yan rolled his eyes, "Could it be that some beautiful lady fell in love with you at first sight?"

Lin Fan touched his eight abdominal muscles and agreed: "I think so too!"

Xia Yan glared at Lin Fan unhappily. She was so charming that countless wonderful scenes flashed through Lin Fan's mind: "Hey! It's not safe outside. Let's go back to the room!"

"It's only afternoon..." Xia Yan's face flushed.

Lin Fan said seriously, "Good afternoon. The light is warm and soft, perfect for painting."

Xia Yan was stunned: "Drawing?"

"Yeah, what else do you think?" Lin Fan looked confused.

I thought… I thought it was a ghost! Xia Yan held himself back to death, groaned for a long time, and finally uttered a sentence: "Painting, OK, painting is good!"

So Lin Fan and Xia Yan stayed in the room drawing for the entire afternoon.

To be precise, it should be Lin Fan who was drawing Xia Yan.

While painting, he also told Xia Yan a story: "Many years ago, there was a luxury cruise ship called Titanic. A beautiful lady was on the ship and she met a young painter. The painter also painted for the lady in this way..."

"Hmm... you are amazing. You even made up a story just to paint a picture..."

"I still have many stories. Will you let me draw them?"

"That's fine, one story for one painting..."

So this afternoon, Lin Fan told Xia Yan many stories about "ships", from "Titanic" to "The Legend of 1900", then "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button", and finally the "Pirates of the Caribbean" trilogy one, two, and three.

…

"bite!"

There was a notification sound from the computer. Xia Shaozhang looked up and found that his email was flashing. He subconsciously clicked it to read it.

Then he saw four emails quietly lying in his inbox, all with the same title: "Script", and all from the same sender: Lin Fan.

Xia Shaozhang was a little curious, so he downloaded all the attachments of the four emails to a mobile hard drive. After making sure they were saved in a safe place, he clicked in to view the specific contents.

The first script I clicked on was a film series that tells the story of the 17th century pirate Jack Sparrow's dangerous Caribbean adventure.

In addition to the gorgeous European aristocratic costumes, the wonderful sea duel, and the terrible retribution of the mysterious curse, the whole story also tells the growth stories of several protagonists in different social status.

Especially the character of the first male lead, the pirate Jack Sparrow, is three-dimensional, profound, and charming, but each time he appears, he is only handsome for no more than three seconds. While bringing thrilling adventures to the audience, he is also a source of joy.

Such a character, which is full of contradictions but has logical internal connection, will definitely become a classic screen image as long as it is well portrayed.

What's more, this is a series of movies. As long as it is filmed well, there will be no problem in becoming a cash cow.

The production cost of "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" is much lower than that of "Pirates of the Caribbean", but the whole story is very cleverly conceived.

It tells the story of a man named Benjamin Button, who violated the laws of nature and was born as an old man, then experienced a strange life in reverse time. In middle age, he got together with his childhood sweetheart, but chose to leave because he was worried that he would turn into a baby.

Reveals the conflict between love and time, and the preciousness of true love and life.

A man who gets younger as he gets older, Xia Shaozhang couldn't help but marvel at Lin Fan's imagination.

Then came Titanic.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

After reading the script, Xia Shaozhang took a deep breath and decided that he should not be the only one who was shocked. We are all in the same boat and should share the joys and sorrows.

So, a call was made directly to Yang Hongxia.

"Hiss! How much?"

When Yang Hongxia received the call, it was late at night in Hua Xia. She was woken up by the phone call while she was half asleep. Before Yang Hongxia had time to express her dissatisfaction, she was shocked by the number Xia Shaozhang said. She was immediately awakened and all sleepiness disappeared in an instant.

Xia Shaozhang counted the production cost Lin Fan had marked on the back of the script again to see how many zeros there were, and confirmed: "600 million, US dollars."

And it’s still a preliminary budget.

In fact, everyone who makes movies knows that these budgets are the minimum, and once filming actually begins, the budget is always not enough.

Many movies suffer from insufficient budget in post-production and have to give up some expensive shots and post-production special effects. If handled well, it will not affect the overall effect of the movie too much, but if handled poorly, it can easily affect the audience's viewing experience.

Of course, no matter how big the budget is, there is no guarantee that a movie will be made well.

For example, last year's science fiction blockbuster "Blue Star Fleet", which was said to have an investment of 1.5 billion yuan, was still a bad movie.

Yang Hongxia was only shocked: "Lin Fan is finally willing to make a big-budget movie? And it's such a big-budget movie!"

Yang Hongxia once thought that Lin Fan only loved low-budget movies. After all, the production costs of the two movies he had made before were so low that it was appalling.

Later, Lin Fan took out several animated film scripts. Yang Hongxia thought that Lin Fan was going to try his hand at animated films, try the production of big-budget films, and then consider investing in live-action films.

But I didn't expect that Lin Fan would actually send back several big-budget movie scripts! Did this guy finally get it?

Are you willing to spend money? (End of this chapter)
