Chapter 2 Film Guild



"This is not an ideal, it is a desire."

After sighing, Lu Hao took the money and cigarettes and turned to leave.

Zhou Jian was suddenly stunned. It felt like his heart was being scratched by a thorny feather. It felt a little itchy and a little painful. He opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but Lu Hao had already disappeared outside the door.

Feeling a little annoyed, he wanted to light a cigarette, but found that all the cigarette boxes had been taken away by Lu Hao.

"Grass!"

He cursed and fell headfirst onto the bed, the quilt covering his head, his eyes wide open in the darkness.

Lu Hao walked out of the door, lit a cigarette and exhaled a long puff of smoke.

It is a brand called "Loneliness". Loneliness brand cigarettes do not exist on earth, but they are unexpectedly mellow.

According to the original owner's memory, the price should be more than one hundred yuan per pack.

It’s better to have money.

To be honest, it would be a lie to say that I don't envy the kind of life Zhou Jian described. I expect that kind of life is not far away from me.

Once this movie is finished, you will receive a system reward of one million!

I bought a few buns and walked towards the library when the phone suddenly rang.

The note is dad.

The original owner's father.

Lu Hao hesitated for a moment before picking up the phone. The word "Dad" rolled around in his throat for a few times, but he didn't say it out loud. He just mumbled, "What's wrong?"

"I transferred a thousand yuan to you. Your mother and I went to the provincial capital to work. This month's salary just came in."

"You don't need to worry too much about the family matters. That's how business works. There are gains and losses. We can handle it. Your mother and I make nearly 8,000 yuan a month now."

"Study hard, eat well, and tell your family if anything happens. If you're short of money, call them."

The old voice was a little tired, but he tried his best to pretend that he didn't care.

Lu Hao, who is proficient in acting and dubbing, can almost imagine the vicissitudes of life on the other end of the phone, just like the old man in The Old Man and the Sea.

He was silent.

For a while.

"knew."

"dad."

The words that had been stuck in his throat for a long time finally came out with a slight tremor, "You should also take care of your health."

After hanging up the phone and letting out a long sigh, Lu Hao grinned and stood up and walked towards the library.

The original owner's previous business venture went bankrupt, and he even sold his laptop to pay off his debts. Now, if he wants to check something, he has to go to the school's computer room.

I met several classmates on the way.

Said hello twice.

Lu Hao could see the strange look in their eyes and the subtle sarcasm in their words.

The original owner's bankruptcy was a big news in the school, especially since his family sold the house to pay off debts, which caused a lot of uproar and made him lose face.

Although the school did not issue a notice of criticism, it did issue a guidance document for strictly reviewing student entrepreneurship.

For Lu Hao, it is still a bit stressful.

But it's not a big problem.

As long as we wait for the movie to be made and the one million to arrive, these are just small things.

Sit in front of the computer and type in film guild.

The world's film industry is extremely mature, not only in terms of production and shooting processes, but also in upstream financing and downstream promotion and distribution.

The Film Guild is a platform where directors, investors, and actors can communicate directly face to face without middlemen making a profit from the price difference.

Lu Hao browsed casually.

[Classic IP "Alien Visitors' Urban Pickup Story 3", investment target 30 million, financing progress 63%]

[Urban supernatural film "I Can See Favorability", investment target 10 million, financing progress 39%]

The fantasy film "A Sword Comes from the West" has an investment target of 200 million yuan and a financing progress of 151%.

The world's upstream film investment market has a bit of the meaning of "film securitization".

During the investment project establishment stage, as long as it is approved, it can be put on the Internet for crowdfunding and seek investors from all walks of life.

After the movie is released and sells at the box office, the profits will be shared with investors.

All processes are very mature and the supervision is very strict.

The film guild is specifically responsible for this.

However, there are always pros and cons. Lu Hao had already learned before that the commercial civilization of this world is indeed more developed than that of the Earth. However, the inevitable consequence of capital liberalization is the Matthew effect.

The more likely a commercial popcorn movie is to make money, the more people will invest in it no matter how big the investment is, and the financing progress will explode.

Low-budget or niche films with small investment amounts are basically ignored.

"Young directors, are you ready to welcome your sponsor?"

A smile appeared on Lu Hao's lips. He searched according to the one million investment target category. The webpage loaded in a few seconds and soon a few options appeared.

[Documentary "The Journey of a Banknote", investment target 400,000, financing progress 8%]

Lu Hao took a look at the detailed introduction of the project.

A boring one.

I just wanted to film the process of a coin coming out of the mint and passing through different hands, but I thought no one would watch it.

Next one.

[Little People's Movie "Dancing Girl", investment target 800,000, financing progress 21%]

The plot of this movie is about a pole dancing hostess who comes into contact with all kinds of men for a living. She finally meets a man who treats her well. After a few years of stable marriage, the dancer cannot bear the loneliness and cheats on her husband again and again, eventually killing him.

Lu Hao: emmmmm

What can I say about this movie?

There is depth, criticizing the ugliness of human nature.

But the scale is too big.

In the 90-minute plot, there are more than a dozen male protagonists, which can be regarded as a Category III movie.

Even if it is filmed, it is unlikely to pass the review.

Of course, the director’s idea is acceptable.

He is quite a genius to come up with such a script, but his mentality is a bit dark.

Lu Hao clicked on the director's introduction page.

oh?

It’s actually a woman?

Chu Wen is a senior in the Directing Department at the Imperial Capital Film Academy. She has shot numerous commercials and is known for her sharp and bold filming style. Her short film, "We Are Forever Together," won the Gold Award at the Imperial Capital College Student Horror Film Festival.

He is a professional graduate.

Has experience in winning awards at college student film festivals.

"Woman, you have successfully caught my attention."

I searched for her movie "We Are Together Forever", which has a very literary and fresh name. How could it be classified as a thriller horror movie?

Lu Hao had an inexplicable premonition in his heart. After reading it once, he quickly drank some water to calm himself down. It was exactly as he expected.

This is a movie about "dismembering and cannibalizing people".

The heroine and the hero are childhood sweethearts. After breaking up for some reason, the heroine, who is a doctor, spent ten years carefully planning one accident after another, turning the hero from a healthy and elegant male god into a disabled person step by step. He had broken arms and legs, had his skin transplanted, and had his stomach removed. Basically, his whole body was full of problems, and the body tissues removed during the operation were all eaten by her.

This female director...
