"Tell me, how are you two preparing for the film?"

In the conference room, Li Qian took the storyboard scripts of the two movies "Jaws 2" and "127 Hours" and watched it.

"Jaws" must be released in the summer, and it will start filming first.

"127 Hours" can be any schedule, this film is very niche, and there is not much expectation at the box office, just make a little money.

"Boss, Lao Guo helped me draw the storyboards of all the shark scenes, the special effects are still the same company last time, all the data is available, but it saves some trouble, and the actors are no problem, that is, in terms of venues, it is estimated that no resort is willing to provide it. ”

Qi Yukun reported all the things he had prepared, the text storyboard was written by Zhang Zhonghua with him, and the picture storyboard, that is, the storyboard, also had Guo Fan's help.

After all, if you haven't studied directing systematically, you are a wild man, even if you are the executive director of three movies for Li Qian, many professional things are still very lacking.

Everything else is easy to do, but this venue, the original resort area is definitely not good.

Qi Yukun also contacted the beaches of some cities on the eastern coast, but no one was willing to provide venues, and no one was willing to provide them for death, and no matter how much money was given, no one was willing to provide them.

"That's for sure, blocking people's money is like killing your parents, it's not bad if you don't blow you out. ”

I also wanted to ask those seaside resorts to borrow venues, why did this old Qi's brain short-circuit at a critical moment.

Li Qian said with some amusement, "I found a deserted beach to shoot scenes on the beach, and other scenes were filmed inland, and now that the weather is so cold, if it doesn't heat up in a month, then go to Qiongdao to shoot exterior scenes." ”

Qi Yukun nodded and said, "That's what I plan to do, it's okay to be far away, there's enough time." ”

"There is nothing difficult about this sequel to "Jaws", the overall rhythm is similar to the previous one, and if Li Guangjie has any ideas on the set, he must hold him down, don't let him express himself too much, only the shark is the absolute protagonist of this movie, once it deviates from the topic, it will be over. Li Qian admonished again.

"I understand. ”

Qi Yukun explained what happened recently, and then said, "Actually, at the beginning, when his agent offered a high price, I planned to change the script and change it to the resort that was rectified and closed down because of the repeated concealment of shark attacks on humans, and then two or three years later, another owner reopened a resort."

And after two or three years, coupled with the fact that the great white shark has died, people have gradually forgotten about this matter, so that the protagonist can be replaced casually, but it is still for stability, plus the boss, your "Frequency of Life and Death" is a big hit, Li Guangjie took the initiative to come to the door to reduce his salary to star, and I gave up the idea of changing the script. ”

"There's no need to change it. ”

Li Qian nodded in agreement, "Li Guangjie and his agent want to fight for their own interests, and there is nothing wrong with it, it is just a salary, and it is not a very outrageous request, and the salary of 200,000 yuan is already a little low for the male number one of the sequel." ”

Guo Fan next to him gloated a little and said, "Don't say 200,000, I estimate 100,000 yuan, and Li Guangjie has to agree." ”

"There's no need for that, and it's not bad for the 100,000 yuan. ”

With the popularity of "Jaws", the sequel is almost a sure thing, and it is something that is undesirable for any actor, plus Li Qian's movie is likely to break 100 million at the box office, as if he is already a rising star in the film industry, it is too late to tie the knot.

"If you really give 100,000 yuan, it is estimated that Li Guangjie will be emotionally involved when filming, which will affect the filming. ”

Li Qian pondered for a moment, "But you can't always be a leading actor, the audience will get tired of it, if you shoot the third part in the future, you can postpone the timeline for more than ten years, let the shark son bite him to death at the beginning, and let the protagonist's adult son deal with the shark son." ”

"Now the shark is really the main character. ”

Guo Fan couldn't help but complain, "The protagonist of the first part sculpted the shark father, and the second part of the shark mother came to take revenge and was also killed." In the third part, the shark son finally killed the enemy who killed his father and mother, and he was affectionate and righteous, so that the shark really became the protagonist. ”

"It's really like this, the role is changed, the shark son is the proper protagonist, the parents were killed by the villain, and he grew up with anger and successful revenge, what an inspirational story. ”

"Haha, didn't you say that sharks are the main characters? Li Qian couldn't help laughing.

"It's not certain whether there is a third part, the audience won't buy it if there are too many people filming the same routine, and there is no need to make that money, and it's not that they can't make other movies. ”

shook his head, and asked Guo Fan again, "Lao Guo, what about your "127 Hours", how are the locations and actors?"

Speaking of his own affairs, Guo Fan immediately became serious, took out a document, and handed it to Li Qian.

"Boss, I ran to several famous canyons in China and found some suitable places, here are the photos, you can take a look. ”

For a niche movie like "127 Hours", cost control is the first priority.

Shooting on the spot, and the location does not cost money, it saves money than anything.

And in the case of real scenes, it saves the post-production, the construction of a studio, and the post-color grading.

Li Qian looked at all these photos and pointed to one of the pages, "That's it, there must be no green in the location, and the tone of the whole film is a desolate and lonely orange tone, which is why you asked me at the beginning why the location was not chosen on some steep peaks, which does not match the atmosphere of the movie itself." ”

The tone and style of the movie itself are also very important, as far as the eye can see, there is no green, all earthy yellow rocks next door, and the protagonist is running and jumping in such an environment.

When the small protagonist is in this environment, the audience will involuntarily feel the lonely scene, which will better pave the way for the protagonist to be trapped later.

And if it is filmed in the mountains, the audience can guess at a glance whether the protagonist is going to be trapped in the mountains.

After all, steep peaks are inherently dangerous, while canyons are relatively less dangerous.

"What about the actors?" Li Qian asked again.

"I wanted to find Chen Kun at first, but now that his salary has reached one million, it is still appropriate to use Deng Chao, and he is also familiar with it. ”

Guo Fan has been struggling with the role for more than a month, and the first movie always wants to do the best in all aspects and be perfect.

However, reality does not allow it, Chen Kun is now in the first echelon of the Mesozoic Era in China, and he also has certain achievements on the big screen, whether it is a coffee position or a salary, he is one of the highest actors in the Mesozoic Generation.

The bigger the actor, the more difficult it is to do it, Guo Fan always remembers what Li Qian said before, the director must have 100% control over the crew, and any actor who can't be controlled can't be used if he can.

Unless you don't want money.

"Deng Chao. ”

Li Qian thought for a while, "He can do it, don't look at the usual big grin, but this kind of inner drama-based role is what he is good at, just the little emperor in "Young Son of Heaven" before, his eyes and inner drama skills are very strong. ”

6 years ago, he was able to support a main drama, and he has not been covered up by a group of old drama bones, needless to say, the acting skills are not to mention, not to mention the subtlety of the calm, optimistic, and lonely emotions of the male protagonist in "127 Hours", at least there is no problem in completing it.

I just don't know why Deng Chao later acted in the kind of comedy that pretended to be crazy and stupid, crazy.

"I'll have an interview with the crew tomorrow, and I'll talk to him about it then, and then you can talk to him about the rest. ”

"yes, okay. ”

Guo Fan nodded, although Deng Chao's two movies were big hits in a row, the salary will definitely rise sharply, but the salary of small-budget movies like "127 Hours" is usually low.

The main thing is that everyone is an acquaintance, so this filming can save a lot of trouble.

These two movies were almost decided, and they asked about Li Qian's next movie.

"By the way, boss, what about you, when are you going to make the next movie?"

"I'm not in a hurry, wait for the box office of "Frequency of Life and Death" to break 100 million, and then rest for a few days to prepare, and it will be the New Year soon. ”

"Do you already have an idea, boss, what type is it?

"I think you can continue to make sci-fi films, make real sci-fi films. ”

"It's a real sci-fi film, let's talk about it then, let's not talk about this for now, I'm tired and half dead during this time, I'll go back and rest first, you're busy with yours." ”

Although they were all curious, Li Qian was really hard enough before and after the movie was released, and they didn't ask questions.

Anyway, Li Qian is a fast gunner, and he will be filmed one movie after another, so it is estimated that he will know soon.

Leaving the studio, Tong Liya asked curiously, "Do you want to make a real sci-fi film, like a Hollywood blockbuster?"

"I don't have that money. ”

Li Qian shook his head, "Even if the box office of "Frequency of Life and Death" exceeds 100 million, I will be able to share less than 20 million, and the original funds are far from enough to make blockbusters, not to mention that the sequel to "Jaws" is on the big screen, and the budget is much higher than that of the first online university, and the special effects requirements of the big screen are not at the same level as the online university. ”

The special effects of the Internet University couldn't be simpler, after all, they are played on the computer screen, and there is no comparison with the big screen.

For the same lens, if you want to meet the standard of qualification, the Internet University may be able to get it by hundreds of thousands at most, and it is not uncommon for the big screen to be at least several times larger, or even ten times larger.

"Is that the same as "The Frequency of Life and Death", which is mainly suspenseful?"

Tong Liya remembered Li Qian's past two movies, "Sniper Phone Booth" and "Jaws" are also full of suspense.

"It's also a small cost, but it's very different, at least this time it's a real sci-fi film, and the core is different. ”

Li Qian thought about that story and was a little sad, ""The Frequency of Life and Death" is a heart-warming and healing story, and that story, somewhat on the contrary, is about loneliness and sadness. ”

"Loneliness?"
