Chapter 102: The Behind-the-Scenes Team of All Luxury
Zuo Le didn't complain too much about the hardships of live shooting with Gao Xinjian, and the two of them quickly got down to business.
"The Story of the Health Team" has been completed, and Xue Jun is watching in the later stage, Gao Xinjian has time to spare, and Zuo Le plans to launch the second part of "Family with Children".
The script of the second part has been written, and it is still 50 episodes, however, unlike the first part, Zuo Le has hardly interfered in the specific creation of the script except for asking about the outline at the beginning, and the entire script was completely completed independently by Shang Qianwu with the editorial department.
Of course, in order to attract the audience and reassure the platform, the screenwriter team who signed the script still added Zuo Le's name, but it was not ranked first like the first part.
This is not Zuo Le's stealing of the rights and interests of his screenwriters, after all, the outline setting of "Family with Children" was proposed by Zuo Le.
Since the sequel script follows the outline setting of Zuo Le, it is also justified for him to sign it in the screenwriting team.
In addition to the signed screenwriter, Zuo Le also hung up the title of producer in the second part of "Family with Children", for the reason that in addition to being similar to the screenwriter's signature, it also has the meaning of helping Gao Xinjian to press the scene.
This time, in the second part of "Family with Children", the starring lineup is still the original cast, and two main characters have been added, that is, the new neighbors of the Xia family, the father and daughter of the Dai family.
Daughter Dai Mingming is played by Shui Miaomiao, this girl is a newcomer, and she is not from a professional class, and her acting skills are a little lacking in training, Zuo Le is ready to let her play more and accumulate experience.
For the role of father Dai Tiangao, Zuo Le originally planned to let Fan Min come, but after thinking about the project arrangement, I am afraid that Fan Min's schedule will not be able to vacate time, so Zuo Le found his old friend Bao Xiaoyong (Sun Shopkeeper).
In addition, there are some newly added resident characters, such as mouse parents, teacher Liu Xing, Liu Mei's colleagues, relatives, etc., because there are not many scenes, Zuo Le will be handed over to Gao Xinjian for arrangement.
After that, the two discussed the preliminary preparations for the second part of "Family with Children" in the office, and the follow-up shooting plan.
After all, Gao Xinjian is directing independently for the first time, and Zuo Le is still a little uneasy, so he has explained more, and when Gao Xinjian exercises out in the future, he doesn't need to worry so much.
Except for some important matters in "Family with Children", the rest are directly responsible for Gao Xinjian himself, and Zuo Le only needs to look at the results of his future works.
Good results, awards!
The importance of the project has increased, and the company has increased the resource inclination.
If you get a bad grade, you'll be punished!
Reduce resources, see if the project has room for recovery, and if not, cut the stop loss in time.
Although Zuo Le has not been the boss for a long time, he has also mixed the system in the Dongshantai Production Center for several years, and has accumulated some experience in film and television production.
In fact, to put it bluntly, it's still the same old way of doing business.
If the product is profitable, then invest more, make it bigger and stronger, and the product is thin or even lose money, then stop doing it and turn to other projects.
Realistic and simple.
............
Gao Xinjian went to work on the second part of "Family with Children", while Zuo Le focused on the post-production of "Seven Swords".
The post-production of "Seven Swords" is currently mainly in three aspects, editing, soundtrack, and special effects production.
Let's talk about editing first, in the past, Zuo Le filmed sitcoms, because the scenes were simple, the editing requirements were not very high, as long as they basically conformed to the plot of the script, and the difficulty of post-production was low.
And this time "Seven Swords" is different, there are a lot of fighting scenes and live-action shooting, the plot is complex, there are a lot of lens switches, and if the post-editing can't keep up, the quality will definitely be discounted.
For the sake of quality, Zuo Le invited a Golden Dragon Award Best Editing boss to sit down, and he himself often stayed in the editing room to discuss how to edit with the editor.
In terms of soundtrack, the opening and ending songs still use the original "Life is Only a Hundred Years" and "I Still Think of Him".
Therefore, the work of the soundtrack of "Seven Swords" is mainly to match the plot, configure the background music, render the mood, and set off the atmosphere.
Like editing, martial arts, and photography, Zuo Le also found a big man in the industry and won the Golden Dragon and Golden Phoenix Best Music Slam.
For this reason, a few people who know the inside story are still very emotional, the cast of "Seven Swords" is not very strong, and the biggest wrist is the old drama bone Zhang Ruijin who plays the villain, and the rest are either starring in the cooking class, or newcomers who are not well-known.
However, the behind-the-scenes team of "Seven Swords" is a first-class luxury, all industry bosses, and they are not much better than many of the top domestic big-budget movies.
However, Zuo Le is very modest about this, what kind of luxury behind-the-scenes is this, and when the best costume design, best modeling design, and best art of the Golden Dragon and Golden Phoenix Awards are added in the future, they will be gathered in one film, and that is the real all-luxury behind-the-scenes team.
After editing and soundtrack, it is the special effects production that the streamer team is responsible for, which is also what Zuo Le worries about the most.
It's not because the special effects are not good, the streamer team is known as the top in China, and even dares to wrestle with a world-class special effects company, and there is no opposition from peers, which shows that the streamer has real skills.
The special effects of "Seven Swords" they are responsible for are realistic, delicate and smooth, not inferior to those special effects blockbusters.
However, the downside is that it's too expensive!!
Zuo Le can understand why the 5-cent special effects of domestic film and television dramas are prevalent, good special effects are too expensive, it is simply a black hole, and tens of millions of funds are smashed, and it is barely a small splash.
Zuo Le doesn't dare to look at the report of the funds invested by the crew in special effects every day, he is afraid that he will not be able to stand it and will directly become high blood pressure.
The sea of money spent in vain is like leaving him, and the feeling is too uncomfortable............
Fortunately, Shanhe made a lot of money in "Family with Children", otherwise he really wouldn't be able to survive.
And by the time "Seven Swords" was almost done in the later stage, there was not much money left in Shanhe's account.
Even if Zuo Le hadn't contacted Dongshantai and temporarily advanced part of the copyright fee of "Seven Swords", I'm afraid that the filming funds for the second part of "Family with Children" would be enough.
So, Zuo Le, who was anxious to return to blood, immediately contacted several online platforms to organize a viewing party of "Seven Swords", preparing to sell the drama to return to blood.
Yes, this time Zuo Le did not directly sell "Seven Swords" to his old friend Coin Station, it was not that Coin Station paid less money, nor that the two sides broke up.
The main reason is that Zuo Le feels that compared with the three major video websites, the influence of the currency station on film and television fans is slightly lower.
In the past, Zuo Le belonged to the Italian currency station, and he valued the active barrage culture of the currency station, believing that it complemented each other with sitcoms and could bring a good viewing experience to the audience.
In addition, the currency station also gave Zuo Le's works a very high proportion of publicity resources, and the two sides cooperated happily.
This time, his new drama "Seven Swords" is biased towards a serious drama, and the demand for barrage culture is relatively not as high as that of sitcoms, but relies more on the massive film and television users of the three major websites.
At the same time, because Zuo Le's reputation is getting higher and higher, his works can almost directly get the highest level of publicity resources when they enter the online platform.
In addition, there is a very critical point, Zuo Le is now the owner of a film and television company after all, even if it is for the future development of Sunward, it is impossible to be tied to the currency station.
Of course, Zuo Le has cooperated with the currency station for so long, and the relationship is still very deep.
Even if it may have an impact on the results of "Seven Swords", Zuo Le also gave up and sold "Seven Swords" to the currency station.
