Chapter 37 Entering the Group
The movie script needs to be polished, and under the premise that the big framework is determined, all kinds of details need to be deducted and dug deeply, even if Zhang Bufan has carefully changed the script many times, there are still a lot of things that can be modified.
However, these can be completely left after the start of the shoot and changed as the shooting progresses.
Well, the main meaning of saying this is to tell everyone that Zhang Bufan is going to join the crew again.
At this time, less than 10 days have passed since he gave the script to the assistant, in fact, he is still a little apprehensive, especially after the script is up, there is suddenly no follow-up, which makes him a little confused, is this over or not?
Then, Wang Quanan personally came to the restaurant and signed the contract.
Of course, you have to sign a contract, which is different from the situation in Guan Hu's place, where they are all their own brothers, and they saw "Bullfighting" at that time After the story, Guan Hu was so excited, he just wanted to get the script out and start filming quickly, how could he still think about any remuneration or something, Zhang Bufan was also smashed by a notebook, and the whole person fell into it, and forgot about it, until later, after the production was completed, Guan Hu remembered this, and finally decided not to give a fixed amount of money, and when the movie was launched, he took out one percent from his director's share to Zhang Bufan, and this matter passed.
But Wang Quan'an's side is not good, everyone is cooperative, there is no personal relationship, of course the interests have to be clarified.
Regarding remuneration, Wang Quanan is still quite simple and generous, and he is not pretentious to say anything about sharing with Zhang Bufan, after all, it is just a literary film, and there may not be any box office if it is really released, and Zhang Bufan can't get to the coffee position of taking the box office share of the movie.
Therefore, the direct fixed price, 100,000 yuan, in addition to the money to buy the script, there is also the money for Zhang Bufan and the group in the next 1 to 2 months.
China has always attached little importance to screenwriters, so the price of scripts cannot be raised, and only a few famous screenwriters can get a relatively high salary plus box office share, which is standing at the top of the pyramid.
In this era, the price is not low for such a movie, you have to understand that Zhang Bufan is not an independent screenwriter in this movie, the story comes from Wang Quanan, and there are a lot of things in the script that are Wang Quanan and Jin Na, even if he dies as a collaborative screenwriter, and the salary of the collaborative screenwriter has increased or decreased depending on the number of people, but few can exceed 50,000, so the number Zhang Bufan got is already quite high.
This is thanks to Jin Na, although Wang Quanan and her had differences in the script, she was finally included in the screenwriting team, and this is also a big name in the industry, so the entire salary has been raised a lot because of her, and Zhang Bufan has taken advantage of it.
In the whole contract, the main thing is the remuneration and the next work of Zhang Bufan, the rest is not written, Zhang Bufan doesn't understand it very well, so he signed his name like this, until later, when he was talking to Guan Hu on the phone, he raised his throat and was scolded all the time.
"Are you really stupid, just signed a deed of sale? Don't you say that you joined later, so there is no weight, the weight of this thing, what you read is the script, the script is obviously yours, but you don't even fight for the position of the main screenwriter? If the film wins the award at that time, or the screenwriter or the script award, do you lose it?"
At that time, Zhang Bufan replied very confidently, "If you win the award, you will win the award, I don't care about those things, as long as the movie can really be made according to my script, I will be satisfied." ”
"Just pretend, when it happens, you won't have a place to cry. Guan Hu sneered, and then changed the conversation, "You, I just hope that people still have a little conscience." ”
What kind of conscience? Guan Hu didn't say anything, and Zhang Bufan couldn't ask if he wanted to--Guan Hu hung up the phone.
Wang Quanan was very anxious, really anxious, he ran to the restaurant early that morning to sign the contract, and wanted Zhang Bufan to fly to the demon capital with him that afternoon.
Of course Zhang Bufan disagrees, you have to at least give me some time to pack my luggage? Besides, I still have a restaurant with the door open.
There was no way, Wang Quanan compromised and booked a ticket for Zhang Bufan the next day.
On this day, Zhang Bufan cleaned up the house, packed his luggage to the magic capital, and waited until the restaurant closed at 21 o'clock in the evening, pasted a note on the outside door that the small restaurant would be closed in a short time, and then went back to charge the laptop, ready to go to the magic capital.
Fortunately, it is approaching summer, the temperature in the magic capital has risen, and Zhang Bufan is also bringing some thin clothes, plus a laptop, which is still empty in a suitcase.
In this way, Zhang Bufan got on the plane to the magic capital and began his first trip to the magic capital.
Over there, it was the crew's car that picked him up, and there was a skilled - Wang Quanan's assistant, the last time he came to get the script, it was not important to him, but this time this time he came to pick him up, but he paid attention to him.
When I joined the group that day, I was in a small hotel in front of an old-fashioned magic alley as the main filming location, the environment was not bad, and it could basically reach the three-star standard, while Zhang Bufan was divided into a double standard room, but in fact, he was the only one who lived alone, which was regarded as special care.
The next day, I took a day off, and the assistant took me through a few filming locations.
More than 70% of this drama is an indoor drama, after all, more than two-thirds of the plot is carried out at the dinner table, and other things such as hospitals and Oriental Pearl Tower are ready-made, just communicate with the relevant units in advance to make room for them.
The only important exterior is the high-rise buildings under construction, which are relatively high, not only to be built to a certain extent, but also to be on the edge of the Huangpu River.
I don't know if God can't stand Wang Quan'an tossing anymore, but he really let him find such a place, which is 100% in line with the scene in the script.
Another day passed, and all the crew arrived to hold a start-up ceremony.
This is the first time Zhang Bufan has participated in the opening ceremony, in fact, there are only two movies he has participated in, the last "Bullfight", Guan Hu didn't get him until the filming started, and he didn't have the opportunity to experience these "foreplays".
I don't know when it started, these domestic crews also learned what kind of start-up ceremony was held on the Taiwan island, and it was very formal, the incense case was three sacrifices, Wang Quanan, the director, was in the front row and the center, and on the left and right sides were the leading actors of the movie, three old actors, and actors who played children and grandchildren, and then he was the screenwriter.
These are the main creators of the movie, and each person has three sticks of incense stuffed in their hands.
Zhang Bufan hadn't experienced it, and he didn't understand anything, so he looked at the girl next to him.
Wang Quanan came first, took three sticks of incense and bowed three times to the statue of the fairy on the incense case, and then inserted it into the incense burner in front, and did not shout anything like "God bless the shooting going smoothly".
Then there are the three leading teachers, who also worship three times and then offer incense.
Finally, there are others, Zhang Bufan is mixed with the very edge, learning to bow three times, and then offering incense.
In the end, Wang Quanan raised his hand and dragged off a piece of red cloth shining on the camera, and then turned around so simply and announced loudly: "The crew of "Reunion", turn on!"
