The Golden Age of China Entertainment

If this happened in a foreign country, it would be unimaginable. A film that had just won the highest honor would be sold at such a low price. A director who had just reached the pinnacle of his life would be knocked down in an instant.

In China, it’s not much better. The ambiguity of copyright is even more heinous. Mo Yan sold the adaptation rights of "Red Sorghum" for only 800 yuan. None, and he planted sorghum with Zhang Yimou for half a year.

Therefore, when Yi Qing proposed to give up [-]% of the domestic copyright, Meng Shi was of course moved. Even if the film does not get a high box office share, it is at least [-]% of the bottom line, and it will not lose money. It is clear that it is for the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Award.

It's worth it even if you lose money if you can win a prize.

Therefore, Meng Shi immediately made a decision and recruited someone to draft a cooperation agreement. The final result was that Beijing Film Studio and New Picture jointly funded the filming of "Alive", each with 50% of the funds, and the domestic box office share, Beijing Film Studio 80%, 20% of the new picture, overseas copyright shared by both parties, 60% of the new picture, 40% of the Beijing Film Studio, and all other subsequent expenses will be borne by the new picture.

hey-hey!Don't say I cheated on you!

Yi Qing and Meng Shi held the signed agreement and smiled at each other.

After leaving the Beijing Film Studio, Yi Qing immediately went to find Zhang Yimou. During the past two months, Zhang Yimou was also suffering behind his back, and he was bored at home every day and didn't go anywhere.

When Yi Qing entered the door, he saw the future international director in front of him, and almost didn't recognize him. He was so haggard, with sunken eye sockets, and a sallow complexion. You must be able to guess who this is.

"It's done!"

Yi Qing didn't dare to let Zhang Yimou worry anymore, and directly handed over the approved documents.

Zhang Yimou was taken aback, staring at Yi Qing for a long while, then stretched out his hand tremblingly to take the piece of paper, held it in his hand, and read each word silently, suddenly tears fell down.

call·············

The hanging heart returned to its place, and he let out a long sigh of relief.

"Are you feeling at ease now?"

Zhang Yimou quickly wiped away his tears, and smiled: "Reassured, finally reassured, you don't even know how I got here these days, suffering!"

After following Zhang Yimou into the house, the room was much cleaner. Apparently, Gong Li also lived here, but she was probably in class at the moment, and no one was there.

"With an investment of 800 million, half of the Beijing Film and New Screen family, if there are more additions in the later period, I have to pay for it myself, so~~~~~~~~"

"Don't worry! Don't worry! It will definitely save money!"

Guess I believe it or not!

These future international directors in China have a common problem. They can’t control their own hands when they spend money. Feng’s pants are a little better. Staring, even the box lunch, which meal has meat and which meal has no meat, has been calculated.

Like Zhang Yimou, it is said that when he was filming "House of Flying Daggers" in his previous life, the entire crew stopped for three months in order to wait for a sea of ​​flowers.

This is something that normal people can get out of, and it only took a few minutes to shoot! ?

No, Zhang Yimou has to be sent a supervisor to follow, otherwise, the funds are simply not enough for him to toss about.

Yi Qing thought about it in his heart, and said: "The crew, hurry up and set up the shelf first. For the actors, let's discuss it after your work is almost done."

Zhang Yimou nodded, and then said: "Can the heroine continue to use Gong Li?"

Yi Qing smiled, if he doesn't agree, can it work?

Although Zhang Yimou looks rustic, he is still a lover. In his previous life, in order to spend more time with Gong Li, he participated in "The Love of Qin Terracotta Warriors Between Ancient and Modern Wars".

"Okay! Let her play the role of Jiazhen, I don't care about other roles, but rich and noble candidates, I will bring someone to show you later!"

What Yi Qing wants to talk about is naturally Ge You, but the current Ge You is still under training, almost meaningless.

This, don't worry!

After Zhang Yimou settled down, it was time to shoot "Never Rest In My Eyes".

Chapter 692 That Turns Back, Damn It

The original version of "Never Close My Eyes" took place in Shanghai, but now it has been transferred to Beijing, and the first scene was directly pulled to Beijing University of Foreign Studies. Originally, Zhao Baogang wanted to go to Tsinghua University to shoot, because he thought Tsinghua’s school gate was more beautiful, But the school did not agree.

What a joke, the leading actor, Xiao Tong, took drugs during school. If this were placed in Tsinghua University, it would affect the image of the school too much.

Roll rough!

Tsinghua failed to negotiate. In the end, Ding Xin found the dean of the University of Foreign Studies through his family relationship. He was more open-minded and agreed.

At noon, a group of people from the production team gathered around the school gate. The pedestrians coming and going, the students coming and going, and the teachers were all looking around curiously. They had watched movies and TV series, but how did the TV series come out? But it's the first time I've seen it.

Zhao Baogang held a loudspeaker in his hand, and kept directing the staff to work back and forth, arranging camera positions, lighting, radio, and asking the assistant director to speak to the extras.

It is said to be a group performance, but it is actually the students of the University of Foreign Studies. They don't even need to pay money. They greeted through the student office, and a large group of students who had no classes came over.

Gu Tianle hid aside, trying his best to calm down. It will be his first scene in acting career later, and what Zhao Baogang said, there is also a close-up of him.

"Are you~~~ all right?"

Liu Pei was sitting on the side. She didn't have a scene today, but she followed along, trying to find status on the set. After all, she hadn't filmed for several months.

"No~~~ It's okay! Thank you!"

Gu Tianle lowered his head, trying to imagine how he felt when he was admitted to the university and came to report for the first time.

In fact, Mr. Ma Jingwu has taught them all. For his teaching, Mr. Ma Jingwu completely followed the story line of Xiao Tong in "Never Close Your Eyes", how to grasp the key points of each scene, and how to do each action. , What word should the logical stress of each line be placed on.

Although the role of Xiaotong must be dubbed in the later stage, when he speaks, his facial expressions will be linked. If the lines are not read well, the emotions will not be able to keep up.

That's all right! ?

Liu Pei turned his head and looked at Yi Qing who was helping Zhao Baogang to direct the camera, and wanted to call Yi Qing over to help Gu Tianle, but on second thought, he gave up again.

Actors have to grind on their own, if they can't be cruel, they can't act at all.

At the beginning, when she was filming "Excellent", she was often scolded by Zhao Baogang because her acting skills were not good enough at the beginning.

It's all here, Xiaogu, it's not that my sister won't help you, you have to do it yourself.

The scene was almost ready, Yi Qing and Zhao Baogang squeezed together behind the monitor, looking at the shots of several cameras, feeling satisfied.

"start?"

"You are the director, you have the final say!"

Zhao Baogang gave Yi Qing a blank look, and really wanted to spit on his grandson.

"Every department checks, let's start the first scene right away, camera crew."

"OK!"

"Lighting team!"

"no problem!"
