Chapter 280 Why is Mr. Chen frowning?

"No problem, we can talk about it at the cafeteria later."

Seeing that everyone was interested in making a movie, Luo Xiao nodded and agreed.

They were all employees of the same company, so there was nothing wrong with discussing it.

The group arrived at the cafeteria.

After getting their food, they found a long table and sat down.

Luo Xiao smiled slightly, looking at their curious gazes, and began to talk about the movie.

He didn't know how much time had passed.

Li Shen suddenly asked,

"You said General Manager Chen frowned in the office?"

"That's right, General Manager Chen said the investment amount was a bit small, so he doubled the investment."

Luo Xiao looked at Li Shen confused, not knowing why Li Shen asked this question.

Li Shen ignored Luo Xiao and turned to look at Wei Yan.

"Yan Ge, what do you think about this?"

Wei Yan frowned deeply, and after a long while, he slowly spoke.

"General Manager Chen frowning probably wasn't just because he thought the investment was too little. Think about it, if your budget was low, why would General Manager Chen frown?"

Luo Xiao heard Wei Yan's words and felt that it seemed to be true!

My budget was low, which meant saving funds, so why would General Manager Chen frown?

The boss should be pleased to see an employee saving him money.

But, if he wasn't frowning because of the low budget, then why was he frowning?

Luo Xiao felt a bit confused and looked up at Wei Yan.

"Then why did General Manager Chen frown?"

"Hmm! Tell me what happened at the time, so I can make a judgment."

Wei Yan stroked his chin and slowly said.

Fang Chang, sitting beside him, saw Wei Yan's expression and thought to himself,

He's here.

The successful cases of Cangxue Games before were basically due to Wei Yan's accurate interpretation of General Manager Chen's hidden meaning.

Now it seems that Luo Xiao might become the second beneficiary.

Luo Xiao thought for a moment and recounted what had happened in the office.

"Is that so!"

Wei Yan fell into contemplation, and after a while, he slowly spoke.

"I think it should be because of the script."

"The script? No, General Manager Chen said the script was very good!"

Luo Xiao said, puzzled. General Manager Chen said it to his face, that the script was very good, so how could it become not good?

"That's right, General Manager Chen said the script was very good."

Wang Bin also said from the side.

"You don't understand this, do you? General Manager Chen is a kind person. Even if he thinks the script isn't good, he won't say it directly, for fear of hurting your feelings."

"However, General Manager Chen has already given you a very clear hint."

Wei Yan slowly said.

"Hint?"

Luo Xiao was even more confused. When did General Manager Chen hint at him?

Wei Yan looked at Luo Xiao's bewildered expression and smiled faintly.

"Doubling the investment, if it was according to your previous budget, 30 million would have been enough to make it well. Why would General Manager Chen increase the investment, and without even inviting popular stars? Then where would this doubled investment need to be put in?"

"It's clearly only the script. Although I don't understand filmmaking, I can roughly guess that General Manager Chen wants to enrich the content of the script, thus increasing the budget."

Enrich the content of the script?

Increase the budget!

Luo Xiao muttered to himself, and suddenly his eyes lit up.

Methods to enrich the script content and increase the budget.

Just increase the types of monsters in the script, and if the types of monsters increase, then more special effects will be needed, and with more special effects, the funds consumed will naturally increase.

But is Wei Yan's guess really correct?

Luo Xiao was still a bit skeptical, wondering if he was over-interpreting it.

"General Manager Luo, General Manager Wei is the one who understands General Manager Chen the most. If he dares to say second, no one dares to say first."

"Snowy Sky Games used to be a money-losing game, and its transformation into what it is today has a lot to do with General Manager Wei's ability to understand General Manager Chen's intentions."

Fang Chang saw Luo Xiao still hesitating there and spoke up.

Luo Xiao listened to Fang Chang's words, looked up at the other leaders, and seeing that they all had the same expression, he believed it.

These people were all high-level executives of the company. If they all thought so, then there must be no problem.

Otherwise, why would General Manager Chen entrust such important positions to these people?

"Then how should the script be revised?"

"We don't understand scripts. How to revise it, you still need to figure it out yourselves."

Wei Yan and the others shook their heads; they could only help this much.

Seeing them shake their heads, Luo Xiao also realized that he had asked too much.

These people had never been involved in the film industry, so how would they know how to revise a script?

They probably didn't even know the writing format of a script.

Lunch was eaten distractedly.

Luo Xiao and Wang Bin parted ways with Wei Yan and the others, returned to the Lanpian Film and Television floor, and entered the office.

"How do you think this script should be revised?"

Luo Xiao sat down in his chair, thinking with a headache. The two movies he had made before were simply filmed after buying the script; he had never thought about revising it.

After all, people who write scripts definitely have a certain level of professionalism. If he were to revise it randomly and ruin the script, it would be troublesome.

However, now that this script had flaws, he could only study it carefully.

Thinking about it,

He casually opened the script on the desk and began to study it.

Wang Bin also picked up the backup script, sat down beside him, and started reading.

He had been personally appointed as the male lead of this script by General Manager Chen, so he naturally had to be serious.

He didn't know how much time had passed.

Luo Xiao looked up, put down the script, and looked at Wang Bin.

"I'm thinking of increasing the types of monsters. What do you think?"

"Sounds good!"

Wang Bin nodded, then continued.

"But I think this script is too simple with just fighting and killing. How about we arrange a female lead?"

Wang Bin finished speaking and chuckled.

"Female lead? How do you want to arrange it?"

Luo Xiao was not against Wang Bin's request. Many excellent movies have emotional storylines, but this script in his hand surprisingly had none.

Now that he thought about it, this script really wasn't very good. How did he choose such a script back then?

"I haven't thought about that. How about we arrange a female partner, and after they go through life and death together, they develop feelings for each other?"

Wang Bin awkwardly scratched his head. He just felt that it would be too regrettable for the male lead not to have a female lead.

Luo Xiao gave Wang Bin a speechless look, thought for a moment, and then spoke.

"Since we're arranging a female lead, to make the plot richer, why don't we arrange a monster female lead, the kind that can transform into human form?"

"That's great! Fox spirits, rabbit spirits."

Wang Bin's eyes lit up.

"I think a cat spirit would be more interesting. The male lead could accidentally save an injured kitten, and she is actually a cat spirit."

"The cat spirit falls in love with the male lead because of this, and later has to leave due to certain circumstances."

"Oh, and we can also arrange a second female lead."

Luo Xiao became more and more excited as he spoke, feeling that the arrangement seemed even more interesting.

"A second female lead too?"

Wang Bin's expression became even more excited. He only wanted one female lead, and now there was an additional second female lead, which was really good.

"That's right, there has to be a second female lead. But after the cat spirit leaves, the protagonist joins an exorcist organization, and the second female lead is a member of the exorcists. She doesn't have much of a background, I haven't thought it through yet. Arrange for the two to meet and then develop feelings for each other."

"Exactly! And then the cat spirit finds out about this and wants to kill that woman to win back the male lead, causing a lot of bloodshed in the process. In the end, the cat spirit has a sudden realization and redeems herself…"

"That's roughly the process. I'll think about how to enrich the plot and make it more interesting."

As Luo Xiao spoke, he was already eager to take out a pen and start writing.

Wang Bin sat there, already lost in fantasy.

Human-demon tragic love,

Hehe,

I like it!
