Lin Xiaoxiao took a look at their work on the spot after hearing that they had finished writing.
She was after Lin Ruizhe and Lin Tianyang's money, not honestly making a drama.
When she read the script, she realized that these screenwriters were too versatile; they could write anything. This horror movie was well-written, and it looked like it could make money. Moreover, there were so few scenes, which made it seem like the budget was much smaller.
Lin Xiaoxiao frowned, and the four screenwriters all tensed up.
“I think it needs to be changed, drastically changed. The story is set in a foreign country, but yours is just a scene that takes place abroad, and it still happens in China. Of course, some scenes were filmed abroad, but this is a big production with a large budget. You wrote all the scenes in this one big villa. Do you have to be so frugal?”
The screenwriters looked bewildered. It seemed that Feiyang Entertainment had made it a habit to achieve big results with small budgets, so they couldn't resist controlling the budget while writing. Now the budget was too large, and they weren't even familiar with writing the big scenes.
"For filming, use real props whenever possible, or rent them. How can you use fakes when showing Chinese horror to foreigners? That would make it so unimmersive."
Zhang Erdai eagerly took notes, while the others looked somewhat worried. Showing Chinese horror to foreigners, especially on foreign soil, where they don't understand the Chinese context, how could they possibly be frightened by it?!
Lin Xiaoxiao was prepared to lose everything on the film, with her ultimate goal being to make a small profit while her enemies suffered heavy losses. Therefore, she had to film in a way that would result in a complete flop.
Ideally, the investment should appear huge, but in reality, it's just money going into one pocket and then into another. It might seem like a loss on the surface, but you're actually making a profit—that's certainly the best outcome. After all, investment requires caution, and investing in unfamiliar industries could easily result in losing everything.
This will teach her siblings a lesson; consider the extra money as tuition.
After assigning the tasks, Lin Xiaoxiao got busy again. The popularity of "Who is the Ten Thousand Yuan Household" was unexpectedly high. Many manufacturers wanted to integrate the show into their products. In addition, with the ongoing improvements to address the issues discovered within the park, she was extremely busy.
The four screenwriters held their own meeting.
Zhang Fan scratched his thinning hair. "How do I write this? I feel like I understand Director Lin's meaning, but I also don't."
Wang Li also looked helpless. "How do we show Chinese horror to foreigners?! The cultures are completely different. If we start by explaining the background, twelve episodes would be too rushed."
Zhang Erdai said irritably, "That's not enough. We need to let foreigners experience Chinese horror. Director Lin has already said so much, and he still wants to use the real thing. You guys don't even understand this. You call yourselves veteran employees of Feiyang Entertainment, but you're not as good as me."
He Yue asked, "What do you mean?"
"To give foreigners a taste of Chinese horror, given the cultural differences, didn't Director Lin think of that? So of course, we have to go in a direction that foreigners understand. What are foreigners' impressions of China?"
"panda?"
"Blue and white porcelain?"
"Ink painting?"
Zhang Erdai said confidently, "That's right, we'll incorporate horror elements in the direction they know, that's what Director Lin wants. I have to say, Director Lin is really amazing. If he were a screenwriter, he would probably be a formidable figure as well. He's so versatile, no wonder he's someone I want to follow."
