The song is ready-made, so Yang Dongxu doesn't have to worry about it, plus the rest expertise that used to make up for it, whether it is in terms of music score or the use of musical instruments, he doesn't have to hum the tune himself and let others compose the music, so it was done quickly.

The MV is even simpler, after all, he is a former director, and it is easier than singing a song to shoot a MV that already has a template in his head.

The song doesn't have much depth, mainly there are some requirements for emotion and pitch, which can be slowly sculpted. Anyway, the other songs in the album also need to be recorded slowly.

So record the MV first, and then just add the recorded songs to the stuck point. And then the promotional MV for the title song of the album was all done. As for the need to sing live when shooting the MV, that is a non-existent thing.

After all, the shooting site is a noisy bar in the morning, not to mention that if the live recording is just to deal with the noise, it is enough to have a headache, and a lot of sound quality cannot be grasped. So ten out of ten such MVs are lip-syncing, and the scene is so spacious and spacey, how can the sound quality be compared with the sound recorded in a professional studio.

So after filming the MV, Yang Dongxu is basically fine, and the recording of the song is a matter of the record department, and it is impossible for him, the boss, to keep an eye on it.

As a result, he began to focus on selecting films for the company's film department. This selection doesn't mean that all the movies that can make money by remembering the name are screened out.

Instead, you need to pick a big production, and making money is secondary, the main thing is that it must be influential, and it is best to win awards internationally, so that industry insiders can take a good look at what Haina wants to do is still so good.

Of course, if the movie can make money while winning various awards, and crush the opponent at the box office, it will naturally be the most perfect. However, this is the most ideal idea, the big production winning awards is the premise, and the box office is secondary, which is Yang Dongxu's purpose when screening the box office.

Yang Dongxu spent more than an hour to read more than a dozen scripts, and if it were to be changed to someone else's opinion, a script might need to be studied for a day. 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 popular after it is made.

This is the work that many people need to do when screening scripts, and Yang Dongxu obviously doesn't have to be so complicated. When he reads the script, he first looks at whether the name is familiar or not, and if the name of the movie is not impressed. In order to prevent the movie from being released after filming, the name is changed and the name of the script is different and a good script is missed, he will look at the content.

However, instead of delving into the content, I will take a look at the setting of the characters in it, and then look at the general story content. There is no need to build a complicated film model of the script and then use rich experience to make a judgment, take a look at the story, whether you are familiar with the script, whether you keep it or throw it aside, and the result will be.

Therefore, the speed at which he reads the script will definitely make his peers jaw-dropping, and in order not to bewitch too much. Although he finished the script in an hour, he spent half a day in the office doing other things.

Then after coming out, I took out the script I chose, saying that I just read a few scripts, this script feels good, you can shoot it, and most of the rest will be pondered later.

In fact, most of the remaining scripts will be thrown aside directly after taking them home, and then after ten days and a half months, the previously selected scripts will be taken out, and the rest will be directly excluded, so the performance is very unpretentious.

I lost two scripts on one side, which belongs to this half-day 'finish', and the other scripts are piled up together to be read later. Then he held the script he was lucky enough to choose among the three at this time, and then Liu Zongsheng, the general manager of the company, sat opposite him when it was almost lunch.

"This drama has been in preparation for a long time, didn't it mean that filming is about to start, why are you still looking for investors?" Yang Dongxu pushed the script in his hand in front of Liu Zongsheng.

Liu Zongsheng picked up the script and glanced at the name, but without looking at the specific content, there was a look of understanding in his eyes. He clearly knew the script well.

"Here's the situation......"

This script is none other than Lao Mouzi's other famous work "Hero". It's just that I'm familiar with this script, not because Liu Zongsheng also feels that this movie will be a hit, box office and word-of-mouth, and win three bumper harvests.

Of course, Liu Zongsheng doesn't know this now, this is something that Yang Dongxu knows. He was familiar with the script because the film's investment was well-known in the industry.

At present, although the domestic film market is becoming more and more popular, the mainstream cost of shooting movies is still hovering in the millions, and those that can reach tens of millions are basically big productions that need to be bragged about.

Lao Mouzi's "Hero" filmed with a budget of 26 million, and the word US dollars was added at the end. According to the current exchange rate between the RMB and the US dollar, this investment will go directly to 200 million yuan.

And this is only the budget before shooting, according to the information collected so far, there is a high chance that you need to continue to add money later, and the final shooting cost will exceed 200 million. Such a high-cost investment is definitely a big production, and at the same time a big risk.

After all, although the first person to eat crabs is likely to make a lot of money, it is also possible to accompany him with nothing. You can't turn over for the rest of your life.

Therefore, when this drama was being prepared, many film companies were found on the new screen side to jointly produce it, but there was little response. In addition to the fact that the investment is too large and the risk is too high, another reason is 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 a representative of the fifth generation of directors, is the protagonist of Gao Fu Shuai at the beginning, just like God's own son.

After graduation, he won the Chinese Film Outstanding Cinematographer Award for his first time as a photographer. The first time he made the movie "Blind Well", he won three actors, and among them, there were also actors at the Tokyo Film Festival, not only in China, but also abroad to be in the limelight.

The first time he made the movie "Red Sorghum", he directly won the Golden Bear Award at China's first international film festival, and then Lao Mouzi's award-winning route was even more out of control, and he became a frequent visitor at the international film festival and a benchmark figure for domestic directors.

But it's such a bullish old Mouzi, although ruthless all kinds of stars and film companies are favored, as long as a row of new movies and various roles are scrambled, after all, Mou Girl can really brush up on fame and go internationally.

But every investment of capital has to be carefully considered, because award-winning movies have a commonality - losing money!

Therefore, Lao Mouzi and Feng Xiaogang can be said to be the two extremes of the big domestic directors, Lao Mouzi is an art master, and he is called a national teacher by the Chinese people, while Feng Xiaogang is a director of commercial films. You don't care how many people scolded him for his movies, how many people said that the logic was messy, but he was able to make money.

Therefore, if you say that you want to make a movie of 10 million yuan, investors may still think about it, and it will be regarded as giving your own star a face to the international market to pay some sponsorship money.

You have more than 100 million shooting capital at once, and the cost is likely to exceed 200 million after filming, which is too expensive. At the same time, if you adapt a famous book, it is okay, and you can also have some reference to measure the risk.

The script you wrote yourself has a shooting capital of nearly 200 million, and there are really few people who dare to play with this. After all, how can you win awards, others see your director's ability, not your screenwriter's ability. Even in the previous successful movies he filmed, his name was written in the screenwriter.

But everyone understands this, as if an old professor would put a name on his student's paper. Maybe your old mouzi is different, and you really put forward all kinds of constructive opinions on the script before, so you added your name to the screenwriter. But that's just an opinion, not an editor-in-chief.

Therefore, this movie was very lively when it was being prepared, because countless stars competed for it during the casting, after all, this is a movie made with hundreds of millions of yuan, and there is still a chance to win awards in the world, as long as there are no ideal stars who don't want to join.

Contrary to the superficial casting, it is natural to find investors. Basically, no one is willing to pay, and even most of them let their own actors lower their salaries, or zero pay can be regarded as sponsorship, and the real money is the new picture and a Hong Kong company that dominates the filming of the film.

But even so, he couldn't come up with so much money at once for Lao Mouzi's new picture, so the film preparation couldn't wait any longer, so he could only start preparing for filming while still looking for investment everywhere.

This script was actually sent to Haina early in the morning, after all, although Haina has looked much more low-key in recent years. But when it comes to wealth, even China Film has to give three points, and the newly rising film companies are simply not enough to watch.

It's just that this investment is too big, and Liu Zongsheng has been thinking about it, and he hasn't given a reply until now. This time, his big boss was ready to screen the script himself, so he put it in other scripts and sent it over.

"How much investment are they missing?" asked Yang Dongxu, rubbing his fingers against his chin.

"It's more than half, because his protagonist chose Jet Li from our company. So I'm going to take a 5 million investment and take a look. Liu Zongsheng said.

This 5 million is obviously a yuan and not a dollar, so it is a little stingy. But in addition, the other party is looking for Jet Li, obviously because he has taken a fancy to his company's superstar's domestic and international box office appeal. Jet Li said that he lowered his salary again, and this one-in-one-out sponsorship is not small.

"You dare to shoot if you are still half the money?" Yang Dongxu was stunned.

"The boss on the other side of the new picture seems to be very optimistic about this show, so if you really can't find a partner, you are ready to fight and give up all the rest of the money. 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 fight by yourself. So before the money arrived, it was said that filming would start directly.

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