The Pioneer of the Rebirth Era

Chapter 996: Lao Mouzi's Movies

The song is ready-made, so Yang Dongxu does not have to worry about his brains. In addition to the restful professional knowledge of the rest, he does not have to hum his own tunes to let other people compose music, so it is quickly done.

  

   mv is even simpler. After all, he was a director who once shot a mv with templates in his head. It is easier than singing a song.

  

   The song does not have much depth, mainly because there are some requirements on emotion and intonation, this can be slowly sculpted. Anyway, other songs in the album also need to be recorded slowly.

  

   So record the mv first, then add the recorded song with a bit of time. Then all the publicity mv of the album's title song has been done. As for shooting mv, you need to sing on the spot, that's something that doesn't exist.

  

   After all, the shooting scene is an early noisy bar. Not to mention that if the live recording is just dealing with noise, it is a headache, and many sound quality can not be grasped. So ten out of ten such mvs are all lip-shaped. How can the sound quality compare to the sound recorded in a professional recording studio in such a vast space on site.

  

   So after shooting mv, Yang Dongxu is basically all right. Song recording is a matter for the record department. His boss can't stare at all times.

  

   So he began to focus on the selection of films for the company's film department. This selection is not to say that movies that can make money by remembering names are selected.

  

   It is necessary to pick a big production, and making money is second, mainly because it must be influential, and it is best to win an international award, so that the industry can take a good look at what Heiner wants to do is still so good.

  

   Of course, if all kinds of movies can win prizes and make money at the same time, the box office also crushes opponents, which is naturally the most perfect. But this is the most ideal idea. The big production is the prerequisite, and the box office is the second. This is the purpose of Yang Dongxu when screening the box office.

  

  A dozen scripts Yang Dongxu spent more than an hour reading it. If it seems to others that a script may take a day to study. After all, it is necessary to study the characters and content in it, and then build a rough model of the movie in your mind, and then use your own experience to infer whether this movie will be fired after it is filmed.

  

  This is what many people need to do when screening scripts, and Yang Dongxu obviously doesn't need to be so complicated. When he reads the script, he first looks at the name and is unfamiliar, if the movie name has no impression. In order to prevent the release of a good script after the film was changed and the name of the script is different, he will look at the content.

  

   But not to delve into the content, but take a look at the character settings, and then look at the general story content. There is no need to build a complex movie model of the script and then use rich experience to make a judgment. You can see if the story is familiar with whether the script is left or thrown aside.

  

   Therefore, the speed at which he reads the script will definitely make his peers dumbfounded, and in order not to express too much evil spirits. Although he finished the script within an hour, he spent a long time in the office dealing with other things.

  

   Then came out and took out the script I chose, saying that I just watched a few scripts. This script feels good. I can shoot it, and I will think about it later.

  

   In fact, most of the remaining scripts will be thrown aside when they are taken home, and then after ten days and a half, the previously selected scripts will be taken out, and the rest will be directly excluded. This is very simple and unpretentious.

  

   Lost two scripts on one side. This belongs to the half-day "finished", and the other scripts need to be read after they are piled together. Then he had the three interesting scripts that he had chosen with luck, and then general manager Liu Zongsheng sat opposite him at about noon.

  

   "This drama has been in preparation for a long time, isn't it all about to start shooting, why are you still looking for investors?" Yang Dongxu pushed the script in his hand to Liu Zongsheng.

  

  Liu Zongsheng picked up the script and glanced at the name, revealing a clear look in his eyes without looking at the specific content. Obviously he knows this script very well.

  

   "The situation is like this..."

  

   This script is no other script is just another landmark of Lao Mouzi's famous work "Hero". The only reason why I am familiar with this script is not because Liu Zongsheng also feels that the movie will be in flames, box office and word of mouth, as well as winning the three harvests.

  

   Of course Liu Zongsheng doesn't know this now, this is something Yang Dongxu knows. He is familiar with this script because the investment in this movie is very famous in the industry.

  

  Although the domestic film market is getting hotter and hotter, the mainstream cost of filming is still hovering over several million, and basically tens of millions of them are big productions that need to be bragged.

  

  Laomouzi's "Heroes" shooting budget has reached 26 million, and the words US dollars are added later. According to the current exchange rate of RMB and USD, this investment went directly to RMB 200 million.

  

   And this is just the budget before the shooting. According to the information collected at present, there is a high chance of continuing to add money later. The cost of the shooting will exceed 200 million. Such a high-cost investment is definitely a big production, but also a big risk.

  

  After all, although the first person who eats crabs is likely to make a lot of money, it may also be accompanied by blood. You can't turn over in your life.

  

   Therefore, during the preparation of this drama, there were a lot of film companies looking for a joint venture production over the new screen, but the response was very little. The reason why this unpopular phenomenon is not only because the investment is too large and the risk is high, there is another reason that this script is not an adaptation of a famous book, but written by Zhang Yimou himself.

  

   Although compared to others, Zhang Yimou, who is the representative of the fifth generation director, started with Gao Fushuai's protagonist line, just like God's pro son.

  

  After graduating for the first time as a photographer, he won the China Film Excellent Photographer Award. The first film "Blind Well" won three film emperors, and among them there are film emperors of the Tokyo Film Festival, not only in domestic achievements, but also in foreign countries.

  

The first film "Red Sorghum" directly won the Golden Bear Award of China's first international film festival. Later, Lao Mouzi's award-winning route was even more unstoppable and became a regular guest at the international film festival. The benchmark character of domestic directors.

  

   But it is such an old-fashioned old man, although it is favored by various celebrities and film companies, as long as a row of new movies and various roles are scrambled, after all, the girl can really brush up the international reputation.

  

  Every time the investment of capital must be considered twice, because there is a common loss of money in the film that wins the prize!

  

   Therefore, Laomouzi and Feng Xiaogang can be said to be the two extremes of domestic big directors. Laomouzi is an art master and will be called a national teacher by the Chinese people, and Feng Xiaogang is a commercial director. You don’t have to worry about how many people scolded the movie he made, and how many people said that the logic was messy, but he just made money.

  

   So if you say making a tens of millions of movies, investors may also consider it, just to give their own stars to brush their face internationally for a sponsorship fee.

  

  You have a total of more than 100 million shooting capital. After the shooting, the cost is likely to exceed 200 million. This sponsorship fee is too expensive. At the same time, if you are a good adaptation of the classics, you can also be a reference for measuring risk.

  

  The capital of the script you write is about 200 million yuan, and few people dare to play with it. After all, how can you always win prizes? What others see is your ability to direct, but not your ability to write. Even the screenwriters of the successful films he shot before have his name.

  

   But everyone knows this, as if the old professor would put a name on the paper of his student. Maybe you are different. You really put forward various constructive opinions on the script before, so you added your own name to the screenwriter. But that’s just a comment, not an editor.

  

Therefore, this film was very lively during the preparation, because countless celebrities scrambled for the cast, after all, this is a film made with hundreds of millions of dollars, and there is a chance to win the international award, as long as the ideal star does not want to join in of.

  

  Contrary to the face-to-face casting, it is natural to find an investor. Basically no one is willing to pay, and most of them even let their actors lower their pay by themselves, or if there is zero pay, it should be a sponsor. The real money and money are the new pictures that dominate film shooting and Hong Kong. a company.

  

   But even with the new screen that is very supportive of Lao Mouzi, there is no way to get so much money at a time, so the film preparation can't wait any longer, and can only start preparing for the film while still looking for investment.

  

   This script was actually sent to Haina early in the morning, after all, although Haina looked a lot low-key in recent years. But when it comes to being rich and wealthy, even China Film must politely make three-pointers. The newly-rising film companies are simply not enough to watch.

  

   It's just that this investment is too big. Liu Zongsheng has been thinking about it and hasn't given a reply until now. This time, the big boss of his own family prepared to screen the scripts himself, so they sent them together in other scripts.

  

   "How much investment do they still have?" Yang Dongxu asked, rubbing his chin against his chin~www.readwn.com~ is about halfway away, because his protagonist chose our company's Jet Li. So I am ready to take a look at 5 million investment. "Liu Zongsheng said.

  

   This 5 million yuan is obviously that RMB is not US dollars, so it is slightly stingy. But the other party's search for Jet Li is obviously fancy with the box office appeal of his company's superstar domestically and internationally. Jet Li also made remarks for the film, and this sponsorship is not a small one.

  

   "Dare to shoot with half of the money?" Yang Dongxu looked stunned.

  

   "The boss over the new screen seems to be very optimistic about this drama, so if you can't find a partner, you are ready to fight and try to get all the remaining money out." Liu Zongsheng said.

  

  Yang Dongxu nodded, this is obviously to find a partner to share the risk. If you can't find a partner, you can do it yourself. So it's the past to start shooting before the money is in place.

  

   "Ask their boss and director for a meal." Yang Dongxu nodded the table with his hand.
