Chapter 462： "Dead Silence"

Wen Ziren walked in the corridor of Firefly Pictures with some joy.

Since he came up with the idea for the new film that day, he and Ray Warner spent a few days writing part of the script outline and character settings.

It has been two years since he directed "Chainsaw 1", and his desire for a director has become stronger in his heart. After all, being a producer is not what he most wants to do.

He still wants to be a director and make what he wants.

In the company, he was the first old man to take refuge.

However, in terms of production experience and industry qualifications, he is not good enough. The box office is no match for Zha Dao, his strength is no match for Nolan, and the art producer is not necessarily comparable to Gyro, and he feels that his position in the company is getting worse. It is important, but also very anxious.

Walking up to the third floor, Wen Ziren was still thinking about how to shoot the new film and who the actors should look for.

Inside the building, all the company employees are busy.

A familiar deputy director of the production department met Wen Ziren, greeted him with a smile, and asked him to sit.

The competitive pressure of the company is still great, and their deputy directors also need to achieve results to consolidate their positions.

Where did the results come from, of course, the film and television project.

Coincidentally, Wen Ziren's "Chainsaw Horror" series has part of the work he is responsible for.

Wen Ziren saw that there was a lot of information in the office, most of which were about Oscar's judges, and asked curiously, "You are"

"Oh, this. We need to assist the judges in the PR of Blue Butterfly Pictures, and Warner Bros. will also organize a reception."

"I see." Wen Ziren nodded.

He also knows some inside information about "Million Dollar Baby", and it is not surprising that he understands Oscar's PR rules.

"Did you come to the company today for the "Chainsaw" project?"

The deputy supervisor poured coffee and asked.

Wen Ziren hesitated for a moment before replying: "No, after producing the fourth film, I don't want to participate in this project anymore. I'm here today for other things, maybe I need to trouble you all after a while, but I don't know about Mr. Lehman. Will you agree?"

The deputy supervisor knew that Wen Ziren admired Laiman quite a bit, and he would consult with him on anything.

And such an official visit to the company is definitely not a trivial matter, maybe there is a new project.

In fact, Firefly Pictures is not large, and the division of power is not comprehensive enough. For example, reviewing projects and investigating market prospects are almost all in charge of Lehman alone. Without Lehman's approval, the company's funds will not be invested in any In a project, this will be a big hidden danger for a production company. After all, a person's vision and energy are limited.

Fortunately, Lehmann has not missed it all these years.

Speaking of which, the company's executives are somewhat unclear about how and where the company will develop.

"Well, if it's a production problem for a new project, feel free to come and pick people. We will definitely form the best behind-the-scenes team to reduce your production pressure. By the way, how is your studio now?"

"It's not like that." Wen Ziren obviously didn't want to talk about this.

In fact, Wen Ziren has made a lot of money in the past two years. For the "Chainsaw" series of projects, the revenue of each film, including offline, has more than 20% of the share of Wen Ziren's studio, not to mention the box office. The financial income is also very impressive.

His director salary is calculated separately, probably around 3 million. In this way, he can earn roughly 50 million for the release of the three "Chainsaws".

Well, aside from a few chores and financial accounting in his studio, Ray Warner is a general.

In terms of scale, it is not comparable to the behind-the-scenes team of several other directors. An empty shell.

"Forget it, I'll come later, I'll trouble you then."

After Wen Ziren finished speaking, he walked into the aisle again.

Inside the President's Office.

"You mean you have a new shooting plan?" Lyman asked casually.

"Yes, Mr. Lehman." Wen Ziren was quite respectful.

After all, this is in the company, and the two cannot be too casual.

"Is there a script for that?" Lyman asked.

"Bring it." Wen Ziren took out a stack of manuscript papers from his briefcase, and even included a part of the scene sub-shots, which seemed more intuitive, and also gave an overview of the style of the image.

Lehman took it, and Wen Ziren explained: "This idea came from a dream, a nightmare. And this dream is very real, and I can remember it when I wake up. So I called for Ray Warner, in this dream On the basis of adding the main line of the plot, however, this script has not been fully conceived.”

"So, you want to direct this new work?" Lyman rolled his eyes.

"Well, someone else can be in charge of the "Chainsaw" project. I want to take over the production. I also want to ask the company for help. I only have a name." Wen Ziren smiled embarrassedly, "If possible, The investment rights can also be consistent with the "Chainsaw" project."

The attitude of Firefly Pictures to its partners is still very good, and the division of revenue is not excessive.

While the company eats meat, others can also have a sip of soup without taking too many production risks.

If you really want to lose money, it must be the company that loses the most.

It's a combination of benefits and risks.

"It's easy to talk, easy to talk about," Lyman responded with his mouth, but his eyes were always on the script and scene splits.

Looking at it, Laiman had a headache. Sure enough, Wen Ziren still couldn't escape this hurdle, and even because of the premature control of economic strength, it was more than half a year earlier than the original time and space.

"A story about ghosts taking their lives?"

Wen Ziren happily replied: "Yes, I have always wanted to make a horror movie like this. When it comes to horror, the unknown is the most terrifying thing ghosts are the best in this category. The theme carrier, I think it will definitely be shocking when combined with the dark atmosphere and scene rendering. To be honest, there are some scenes that I am afraid of. For example, when I wake up in the middle of the night, I always feel that something is hiding in the corner and watching. Looking at me, I was surprised to see that it was a doll. In that darkness, the eyes of the doll seemed to blink, and it came to life. Even if you knew that the doll could not come to life, it gave me a very bad feeling. "

According to Wen Ziren, plus the scene in his hand, Lyman seems to be able to imagine such a time.

Damn, it makes my heart flutter.

Wen Ziren is a real psychopath

"It's a good idea," Lyman affirmed the idea of ​​his new film, and then added: "But how much are you going to spend to make this work. Oh, forgot to ask, what's the name of the film you named?"

Wen Ziren only has some ideas, but it will definitely take time to actually implement them.

He thought about it for a long time before he said, "The name of the movie is "Dead Silence"."
