Chapter 594: Preparing the Crew

Listening to Fei Nan's description, Zheng Zhengqiu became more and more excited.

In his mind, a corresponding picture had already appeared.

On the screen, the characters in the film are moving, they are talking, and as their mouths open and close, the audience can hear them......

When such a movie comes out, it will definitely be a big hit!

There is such a wonderful script on it!

Although Zheng Zhengqiu has also written movie scripts, they are all adapted from opera scripts, and if you just look at the script, it is no different.

But Feinan's script is different, if he is asked to evaluate, then he can only use one word to describe it, that is, professional.

This script is written from the perspective of film shooting, and even the orientation of the camera, how to place the props, how many actors are needed for each scene, and how the actors move are clearly marked.

Even if he was with Lao Bu in Asia, he had never seen such a professional script.

"Mr. Fei, dare to ask, is this script from you?" Zheng Zhengqiu asked tentatively.

"I wrote it. ”

Fernand graciously conceded.

"Mr. Fei is very talented!"

Zheng Zhengqiu couldn't help but praise: "This script of yours is probably going to revolutionize the entire film industry!"

"It's not that exaggerated, I just want to make some money. ”

Feinan waved his hand.

Zheng Zhengqiu was about to say something, but a person suddenly came in outside the house and hung his coat on a hanger.

"Zhengqiu, a guest?"

When the man saw Feinan, he casually asked.

"You're back?"

Zheng Zhengqiu got up and introduced: "Come on! Du Yu! Let me introduce you to this Mr. Fei, a genius!"

The man was a little puzzled, but he still stepped forward and took the initiative to shake hands with Fei Nan: "Hello Mr. Fei, my name is Dan Du Yu." ”

"He's a painter for our newspaper and a good photographer. ”

Zheng Zhengqiu introduced a sentence to Fei Nan, and couldn't wait to rush to Du Yu and said: "Du Yu, Mr. Fei has brought a superb script, come and take a look!"

"What play?"

But Du Yu was puzzled, came to the table, took the script handed by Zheng Zhengqiu, and read it.

"Huh?"

He saw the storyboard in the script and couldn't help but be surprised.

He played the role of a painter in Xinmin Daily, and "Liberation Pictorial" was the first women's pictorial in China, and all the illustrations in the newspaper were made by him.

Because of the different majors, he and Zheng Zhengqiu's concerns are also different, and the storyboard script in the script aroused his great interest.

Although the drawings in the script are rough, and the characters are egg figures with only heads and limbs and no facial features, the movements and angles are very accurately described.

In addition, Fei Nan unconsciously imitated the brushwork in those Hong Kong comics he watched when he was a child, which made the movements of the characters in the lens look very sharp and full of impact.

"What kind of drawing is this?"

But Du Yu muttered, and Zheng Zhengqiu couldn't wait to urge him: "You look at the text, look at the text." ”

Reluctantly flipped through the script, but Du Yu browsed the text of the script.

Although there are many alterations in the text, one black and one white, but in Du Yu's eyes, it is so streamlined, capable, and clean.

In the text, except for limited action and scene descriptions, there are large sections of lines, without any nonsense.

He soon had the same doubts as Zheng Zhengqiu, and he didn't understand why he wrote so many lines.

learned about Feinan's idea of sound films from the excited Zheng Zhengqiu, and he also showed the same excitement as Zheng Zhengqiu.

Soon, his expression became a little fanatical, as he suddenly thought of another aspect.

If the movie can make a sound, then I'm afraid there will be another terrifying propaganda channel!

You must know that the biggest source of income for Xinmin Newspaper is the rental of advertising space in newspapers and magazines, in addition to the direct income from subscribing to newspapers and periodicals.

The sales volume of "Liberation Pictorial" is not large, but the price of advertising space ranges from three or five yuan to dozens of yuan, and in this way, advertising space is still in short supply.

There is no way, there is only one channel of propaganda now, and that is newspapers.

The circulation of newspapers is limited, because there are not many literate people in society, and most of them are illiterate and do not know how to read newspapers.

It's the same with movies, the audience generally doesn't like to add text to the picture, because many people who can afford to watch the movie are also illiterate, they only look at the picture.

But it's different if you make a sound movie, if the characters in the picture can speak, it's amazing.

Even if you only let the people in the movie say "Liberation Pictorial is good", I'm afraid their "Liberation Pictorial" will have to sell out!

If that's the case, the movie's propaganda power is terrifying.

The coverage of newspapers is so large, there are so many people who are willing to subscribe to newspapers and can afford to subscribe to newspapers, and they are all elites in society.

But even so, the government is very strict about newspapers, because it is the only way for ideas to be disseminated on a large scale, and they affect key groups in society.

And movies are different from newspapers, movies are still a luxury entertainment product at the moment, and most people regard it as a Western drama and watch it lively, so Mr. Zhuo's drama in the United States sells so well.

The government also moved the idea of movies, and Yuan Datou also made some video materials, but no one watched them.

If the sound movie really works, then I am afraid it will develop into a terrifying propaganda weapon!

I have to say, but Du Yu's thinking is very advanced, you know, even the first radio station in China has not yet been established in Shanghai at this time, and the emergence of sound movies will be the first time that the people of Shanghai have heard the sound from machinery through modern scientific and technological means.

"Mr. Fei, did you bring this script here, do you want to publish it?" or ......?"

But Du Yu was a little afraid to ask.

He could see the weight of the script and wanted to hear from Fernant that it could be made into a movie.

But he is also very clear that there is basically no market for Chinese-based films at present, and Asia Film and Drama Company has also collapsed because of this.

As can be seen from the script, if you want to invest in the filming of this movie, it must cost a lot of money, and the film alone will be an astronomical amount.

With so much money, I'm afraid not many people would choose to invest in making a movie.

There is no shortage of movies in the market now, and the audience also recognizes foreign movies, so there is no need to do such a thankless job.

But if it doesn't be filmed, it's a pity that such a good script will be made.

But Du Yu's mood was a little apprehensive, and he glanced at Zheng Zhengqiu as if asking for help.

Zheng Zhengqiu had the same idea as him, and when he saw his eyes, he couldn't help but start to calculate, how much can he get?

Fei Nan smiled indifferently and said bluntly: "Both, I came this time to make this script into a movie. ”

"I know that the two are the most professional filmmakers, and I would like to ask the two preparatory crews to make this film as soon as possible. ”

"Don't worry about investment, I'm all responsible for it, the initial investment of 10,000 yuan, not enough to add more. ”

"I don't know what the intention of the two of you is?"

But Du Yu and Zheng Zhengqiu glanced at each other and saw the excitement and excitement in each other's eyes.
