Cao Gan's contract terms are several levels lower than Jia Yu's.
Unlike the Turtle Studio, his style and his current accumulation are far from enough to set up a studio, so there is only a guaranteed contract.
His current position is actually more like a "management trainee".
Of course, management training is not about business and management, but about the self-cultivation of a mature director.
After finishing filming "Roadside Picnic", if he has inspiration to make a new film, the company will invest money to make it. If he has no inspiration, he can go and join other crews first.
In short, develop with peace of mind.
…
After receiving a contract and a 500,000 yuan creative support fund, Cao Gan returned to his hometown Kaili to continue filming "Roadside Picnic".
On the way back to his hometown, he still took the green train and changed trains several times.
It was a bumpy ride.
I still couldn't bear to eat the boxed lunch, so I ate instant noodles with a sausage.
But my state of mind is very different from when I came here.
The future suddenly became clear.
…
In addition to Cao Gan, there was another film among the batch of films submitted for review that gave Lu Hao quite a surprise.
Movie title: The Four Commandments
Director: Ning Jian.
Gender: Female.
Ning Jian was once an investigative reporter, then a seasoned hiker, diving instructor, and novelist...
A woman in her early thirties with rich career experience.
Due to years of outdoor sports, she has a tan like a black pearl, and with small dreadlocks, she looks extremely flamboyant?
But when talking about movies, he becomes a bit more quiet, which is completely different from his appearance.
She wrote the script of this story herself.
She also shot the movie herself, of course with a low budget.
The actors we found were all marginal figures in the entertainment industry, and the total investment did not exceed one million.
Of course...it's also because there's not enough money.
The reason why her film attracted the attention of the jury and Lu Hao was mainly because of... the multi-line narrative structure.
The multi-line narrative structure is a great test of the screenwriter's skills. There are often several main lines running in parallel, so there is bound to be a richer plot, but at the same time, the audience's viewing experience cannot be sacrificed.
Complex, but not chaotic.
Make sure the audience can understand.
In feature films, the multi-line narrative structure is considered a very advanced and challenging technique.
There are very few directors who can handle this type of film.
However, this naturally also means that as long as the quality of the film itself is not bad, it is very likely to be a big hit at the box office.
Lu Hao didn't expect that he could find such a piece of gold after all the hardships.
In Lu Hao's memory, the most typical domestic movies with multi-line narrative structures, not to mention those from abroad, are naturally the two crazy series of Parallel Universe.
Crazy Stone
With a priceless jadeite as the core clue, an international thief, a local thief gang, and the security guards who protect the jadeite, engage in a battle of wits and courage, launching a hilarious tug-of-war between offense and defense.
Crazy Racing
With "a racing driver's story" as the core clue, the plot is extremely tortuous, there are many laughs, and the multi-line narrative is extremely smooth.
Especially the most famous part, "Trading ashes as drugs and sending them off with eighteen people", is enough to make anyone applaud.
These two films are both examples of low-budget, high-grossing films.
Both of these films are from the same director.
It is no exaggeration to say that films with multi-line narrative structures test directors more than magical realism.
…
As for Ning Jian's "Four Commandments"...
A suitcase filled with five million in cash is the core clue of the whole movie.
The story unfolds slowly from the perspectives of several people with different identities and backgrounds.
The plot progresses layer by layer.
…
A coal boss with a net worth of billions, took five million in cash, flew to a city to find the female host he supported.
A black car driver who was addicted to buying lottery tickets and dreaming of getting rich all day long found the coal boss's money while picking up passengers.
A fake health guru and a friend of the female host join forces to try to steal the coal boss's five million yuan.
A ruthless coal truck driver with a strong gambling habit. He is the brother-in-law of the coal boss and will do anything for money.
…
In the conference room.
Lu Hao, several other judges, and Ning Jian watched the film together.
——
Coal boss Zhang Hongxue makes a fortune, but he and his tigress wife have not had a child for many years.
One day, he packed the mine's daily turnover, nearly five million in cash, into a large suitcase and boarded a plane to a coastal city.
In name, he was buying an apartment for his wife, but in reality he was going to visit his lover, a beautiful female host.
After getting off the plane, he took a taxi to the female host's house and met an illegal taxi driver.
Seeing the big suitcase, the black car driver enthusiastically helped him carry it.
With such a large sum of money, the coal boss naturally kept a close eye on it and wouldn't let anyone touch it, but the driver insisted on helping.
As the two men were pulling, the zipper of the suitcase was torn, and the driver accidentally saw the mountain of money inside and was stunned.
I dared not speak anymore and concentrated on driving.
His words along the way were full of envy for the rich.
After sending the coal boss to his destination, the taxi driver went to buy a lottery ticket.
…
In order to win the coal boss's heart and money, the female host has always wanted to give birth to a child for him.
So, she found a health guru, Master Zhen, and bought various health care products to regulate the body of her sponsor.
