I really didn’t want to be a warm man when I was reborn

Li Zhe asked Xiao Qiao to take out the script from his satchel. He took it and handed it to Xu Zheng.

"Don't worry, although this movie is a low-budget horror movie, it's definitely not a bad movie."

Xu Zheng took the script and read it carefully, and found that the script was not bad at all. It could even be said to be a good story.

It's more of a suspenseful science fiction film than a horror film.

The story is about a near-death experience.

A series of car accidents occurred on the highway. A large truck, a small bus, and a car collided one after another.

The injured people collectively entered a near-death experience dream and came to a strange realm.

Wrapped in strange black fog, empty of people, endless loop, a highway that can never be driven out.

The urn appears mysteriously, and every time it appears, a person dies mysteriously. The urn is also marked with the name of the dying person.

Before everyone dies, they will think about what they have forgotten, what they have forgotten, and finally they suddenly realize.

…

Weird and bizarre, full of suspense.

A large truck, a small bus, a car, and more than a dozen people struggled to survive in a strange place. It was not revealed until the end of the film that a series of car accidents occurred.

"A very good script!" Xu Zheng said with a smile as he put down the script.

This script was much better than he expected. Although it was not excellent, it was still pretty good.

"Mr. Li, I would like to ask, who wrote this script?"

"I just wrote it casually. Teacher Xu deserves the award." Li Zhe said modestly.

"Mr. Li, can you still write scripts?" Xu Zheng said unexpectedly.

"Actually, I am still an online writer. I wrote a novel online and my results were pretty good." Li Zhe said with a smile.

The script "Uncanny: Alien Space" was adapted from a short story in a suspenseful online novel that he read in his previous life.

Although this story is not very good, it is much better than the vulgar plot where the heroine returns to her old house and encounters people pretending to be ghosts or mentally ill.

Xu Zheng was even more surprised when he heard this, "It turns out that Mr. Li is also a writer."

"Nothing to mention, just a writer."

"Mr. Li, you are so humble." Xu Zheng looked at Li Zhe and really wanted to make friends.

With money and ability, this young man might really be able to make some achievements in the entertainment industry.

"Mr. Li, when will the filming of this movie start?"

"Early July, I don't know if Teacher Xu has any schedule." Li Zhe extended the invitation.

Of course Xu Zheng has a schedule. He doesn't have many acting appointments this year and has only made guest appearances in a few dramas.

"Mr. Li, I will accept this play." Xu Zheng agreed without hesitation.

An investor paid for him to practice, and the script was pretty good. Why didn't you take such a good opportunity?

"Director Xu, I am an outsider, so you have to worry more about the movie." Li Zhe said with a smile.

Why did he ask Xu Zheng to be the director?

What Li Zhe valued was not Xu Zheng's directorial ability, but his connections in the industry for more than ten years.

Assembling a professional crew from scratch would be very troublesome if Li Zhe did it by himself, but it would be very easy for Xu Zheng to do it.

In a few months, a small-budget comedy movie "Nightclub" will start shooting.

New director Yang Qing was able to make this movie, and Xu Zheng contributed a lot.

As a layman, if you want to enter the circle, you need to find an entry point, and Xu Zheng is the entry point that Li Zhe found.

As for his directing ability, Xu Zheng has more than ten years of experience and is better than a new director.

Besides, a low-budget suspenseful horror film does not require much directing ability.

"Mr. Li, I will definitely try my best." Xu Zheng said.

Xu Zheng also understood why Li Zhe came to him, it was just to rely on his connections in the circle.

"That's right!" Li Zhe seemed to have remembered something.

"I have several artists under my banner. When they are late for auditions, I have to ask Director Xu to take care of them."

Xu Zheng nodded to express his understanding.

What care? Just stuffing people into the crew.

However, what investor wouldn’t block people?

This is an unspoken rule in the industry.

After eating, the three of them left the restaurant together.

Seeing that Xu Zheng did not drive, Li Zhe drove him back home in an Audi A8L.

Xu Zheng invited Li Zhe and Xiao Qiao to sit at home for a while.

After driving away from Xu's house, Xiao Qiao said with a smile: "I didn't expect to have dinner with Xu Zheng. I loved watching his dramas when I was a kid."

"You can see anyone you want to see in the future." Li Zhe said nonchalantly.

"Can Liu Yufei do it too?" Xiao Qiao asked.

"It will definitely be fine in the future, but it's not enough now." Li Zhe smiled.

After the release of "The King of Kung Fu", Liu Yufei has reached the peak of her career, turning red and purple. Besides, her current godfather is much richer than him.

It's really embarrassing for him to ask Liu Yufei for dinner now.

However, she was soon going to go downhill.

Li Zhe was deep in thought while driving.

He invested in movies without actually thinking about making money.

Nowadays, the domestic film market is too small, with a screen size of only 4,000 yuan, and piracy is rampant. A box office of tens of millions would be considered a big hit, and a box office of over 100 million would be a box office miracle.

Therefore, it is not profitable to make a movie at all, but it is very easy to lose money.

Li Zhe invested in making movies at this time just to train people, and also to get familiar with and integrate into the circle, so as to facilitate large-scale admission in the future.

For the low-cost horror film "The Unexpected", his expectation is that it will be fine if it doesn't lose money, and it would be better if it can make some money.

If "Unexpected" does not lose money, Li Zhe will go further and invest in more low-cost comedies and horror films.

But he can only do small things, and he will not invest in big projects until the domestic movie box office explodes.

On the 6th and 7th, the last two days of May Day, Li Zhe drove Xiao Qiao and played around in Shanghai.

Li Zhe took Xiao Qiao to visit famous attractions in Shanghai such as the Pedestrian Street, City God's Temple, and Yuyuan Garden, and tasted many special snacks.

In the evening, the two of them walked along the road on the Bund, enjoying the wind and enjoying the river view.

After paving the road, the two went back to the apartment to study their driving skills.

After buying the car, Xiao Qiao was particularly interested in learning to drive. She pestered Li Zhe every night to ask him to teach her how to drive.

After the May Day holiday, Xiao Qiao stayed for two more days.

On the afternoon of the 10th, Li Zhe sent her back to Hongcheng, but he did not go back and continued to stay in Shanghai to work on the company's affairs.

After May Day, he rented a 150-square-meter office building in the high-tech park as the office location of Qudong Literature.

Then he recruited seven or eight screenwriters to form a team for writing web article outlines. Li Zhe threw simple web article ideas to them one by one and asked them to write detailed outlines. He would review them and keep the qualified ones. If you are not qualified, point out the problems and call them back to have them rewrite.

As a result, outlines were quickly written out.

There is the infinite martial arts flow, the wizard flow, the divine flow, the weird flow, the spiritual energy recovery flow and so on.

After having an outline, recruit a team of writers with some experience in online writing and good writing skills, sign a contract, and ghostwrite the novel.
