Chapter 44: A Small Goal
"Chu Dao, I'm here, I'm here, I've been waiting for a long time. "Cheng Si is thirty-two years old at the age of Chinese New Year's Eve, he is a good person, not a veteran, he used to be a propaganda soldier in the army, and after retiring, he originally changed to photography, but he did not succeed, and he went around and engaged in his current job.
"Brother Cheng hasn't seen me for a long time. "Chu Shun was picked up at the school gate, and because he has a certain reputation, otherwise he would not be able to accept people from other schools in during class time.
"I don't know Director Chu, is there a small role that can make a cameo this time, last time I made a cameo appearance in the crazy eighty-eight people, although I couldn't see my face clearly with a mask, but I went back and pulled my sister to watch it together. "Into four.
"Did you find it then?" asked Chu Shun.
Cheng Si said with a smile: "Then my sister threw up, she hasn't been able to see bloody things since she was a child, so-"
"Very good, good brother. Chu Shun said: "This time, I will definitely give you a role that shows your face." ”
"Thank you Director Chu in advance. "Into four.
Chu Shun originally planned to sign Cheng Si under the banner of his Taiyi Company if he had a happy cooperation this time, well, no matter how many times he read it, it sounded like a middle two, and he didn't plan to form a team, the big director was so capricious. But in the contract, there is always someone in charge.
For Cheng Si, the deepest impression is that Cheng Si is a sister control, and he has to make four calls a day to report his sister's safety, back to business, Chu Shun and Teacher Bai, Goutou, and Rui Ying signed a contract, and the salaries of Goutou and Rui Ying are good, all of which are market prices, but Mr. Bai's current price is difficult to define.
Because Mr. Bai has a lot of fans, what is a fan is a fan who is hungry for good looks, if you find a star who is more in line with your taste, you will decisively climb the wall, but don't think that Yan Fan is not good, in fact, Yan Fan is the best type of fan in addition to die-hard fans, Yan Fan will also help to hit the list in the process of greedy appearance, and he will spend money to support him if he has the ability. This is why Xiao Xianrou has a strong fan effect, I really think there are so many die-hard fans? No, no, no, no, a large part of them are fans who eat Xiao Xianrouyan.
After having a meal in the school cafeteria, at about three o'clock in the afternoon, Chu Shun met President Hu, along with Professor Zhao Liang and Professor Yang Wei, as well as Director Wang, at the reception table in the principal's office.
Principal Hu is Chu Shun's first close contact, seriously speaking, in terms of appearance, he doesn't look like a person with a tail of fifty in the sixties, just like a forty-something, maybe it's because Principal Hu has dark skin and can't see his old age?
"The lines are very hard-working, who are the three leading actors going to look for?" Principal Hu's first sentence was to ask.
can grasp the key point very well, in addition to the good lines after watching the bullets, there is also the drama between the three actors, and Chu Shun, who is a film critic, watched it four or five times.
"At present, Huang Shilang invited Teacher Duan Neighborhood, Fake Master Tang invited Teacher Guan Case, and Zhang Mazi invited Teacher Sun Guangtai. Chu Shun replied.
President Hu, Director Wang and the two professors were all surprised by this lineup, it was obvious that the three leading actors were bigger than the other, President Hu thought about it carefully after coming back to his senses, and nodded affirmatively: "As a director, you are indeed very good at finding actors, if you can invite these three people, it is indeed very suitable." ”
It's a more euphemistic thing, and the implication is that it's invited, which is quite good, but the big problem is that it's hard to invite.
"It's a good movie to let the bullets fly, and I'll be the executive producer. Principal Hu turned his head and said a word of surprise, he said: "I have a good relationship with Guangtai, and I can introduce you to meet, but I can't guarantee whether he will accept this script." ”
"Thank you, Principal Hu. Chu Shun immediately thanked him, Sun Guangtai, as the vice chairman of the Huaxia Film Association, it is normal for Principal Hu to be familiar with him.
Although the lines of "Let the Bullets Fly" are visible to the naked eye, it is impossible to guarantee whether the box office is good or not, there are too many examples of good stories being filmed, and even if they are filmed, they cannot guarantee the market. At this time, Principal Hu not only agreed to be the producer, but also used his own connections to lead the way, which can be regarded as promoting students.
Chu Shun also touched the three major ones in his previous life, but now it is not as bad as he imagined, well-that's right, it is imaginary, when he criticized it in his previous life, he didn't know too much, and he started directly, what is the inside story of the three major ones, and what is the three big filthy and dirty mouths.
"The story of killing Bill is simple, and you've deliberately weakened the storyline. Professor Zhao Liang put down his hand that was about to drink water and said: "So I want you not to forget the story, I really didn't expect that your ability to write stories is even better than I imagined, and you can write the monotonous two-hero drama with ups and downs." ”
"Thank you, Professor. Chu Shun thanked him for his attention, and also thanked the seniors who had been introduced before.
Professor Zhao Liang's Schrödinger's water cup appeared again.
"Good is good, and if it's not good, I won't boast. Professor Zhao Liang's smile floated on his cheeks, his mouth was a little dry, and he drank saliva.
"Since that's the case, then you should also ask Professor Zhao to be the producer of this movie. Principal Hu suddenly said: "And if this movie is smooth and unimpeded, I think we still need to ask Lao Yang as the producer." ”
Otherwise, the final paragraph at the end of the movie may be deleted when it is reviewed. Principal Hu read the script again, and at the end of the dialogue between Zhang Muzhi and Huang Shilang.
Professor Zhao Liang was suddenly cueed, put down the water cup and looked at Principal Hu, Chu Shun didn't expect it.
"Is it Yang Shun?" asked Professor Zhao Liang.
Principal Hu nodded, then looked at Chu Shun, it was obvious that the decision was on Chu Shun.
Chu Shun searched according to the memory of the original body, and was a little unfamiliar with the name Yang Shun, Director Wang explained a little, Yang Shun is the chairman of Xiying.
At this point, we all know that there are four major film and television stocks in China back to the company, China Film, West Film, Shangying and Zhuying, and China Film is naturally a well-deserved giant, and West Film Group is the second, moving Yang Shun, the god, plus Professor Zhao Liang, is a member of the presidium of the Federation of Literary and Art Circles, has a very high status in the literary and artistic circles, and finally President Hu.
Is "Let the Bullets Fly" really so exaggerated? Do you need these three gods to be the producers? In his previous life, Chu Shun heard from the circle that the ending almost didn't pass the trial, but Chu Shun didn't believe it at that time, after all, Han Sanye was here, could he still not be tried? Now it seems that it is really possible.
"When the ending is deleted, the film is incomplete. Chu Shun said: "I need to trouble Principal Hu again." ”
In the end, we discussed the matter of the producer again, and President Hu and the chairman of Xiying were indeed familiar with each other, and immediately made a video call. In the past, Chu Shun, the manager of the assistant director for more than ten years, finally negotiated preliminarily, which was really a very good treatment.
Chu Shun knew very well that if it weren't for the power of Beiying, it would be absolutely impossible for him to find Xiying by himself, and it would be absolutely impossible to negotiate this condition.
Talking about a small story on the earth, at the beginning, the film company and the theater shared the account by 33%-35%, and the milestone "Hero" appeared, which pulled down the unprecedented 40%, which is why it was said that "Hero" was written into the domestic film history before, and then the double sheet gradually increased the account, directly to 35%-41%, and then it was still the regulations under the state in 09.
When Shuangzhang broke up, Xiao Zhang set up his own company, thinking that he could win a high account, but in fact, both the theater chain and the distributor only recognized the big sheet, and after the big sheet did not have the small sheet, he could also get a share of other films, which is not called the market's recognition of the director, but the recognition of the director by the employer.
In general, Chu Shun did not have much recognition on the side of the management.
"Just set a small goal, release 100 million, bah, bah, what the hell, as long as I don't touch the bottom line, no matter what subject matter I shoot, there is no hindrance, as for the management - I don't care about the box office when filming!" Chu Shun set a small goal in his heart, it is really difficult to achieve this goal, Yuandixing is not clear for the time being, as long as I don't touch the bottom line on the earth, there are only two directors in the country who shoot casually.
See clearly, it is not that you don't touch the red line, but you don't touch the bottom line. It's very realistic, some themes, some plots, it's no problem for this director to shoot, but if you change the director, I'm sorry not to review, if it's more serious, believe it or not, just seal everyone directly.
After more than two hours of talking, Chu Shun left, both the professor and the principal were busy, so they didn't have time to eat together.
