Chapter 159: Low-budget Movie?
Making a movie is actually the same as writing a novel, it is a kind of artistic creation, but one is presented in words, and the other is a picture.
Although the domestic music scene is in decline, and the Chinese film system is very rubbish, it often bursts out of several high-quality films, which is basically second only to the entertainment superpower of the United States in the world film industry, and is tied with the Cherry Blossom Country and Great Britain.
Basically, only a small number of critics who don't understand movies will feel that Huaxia movies are at the same level as Ah San, or even lag behind Ah San.
"Make a movie! There's a lot of knowledge here!" Li You looked at Lin Yi very deeply.
"Yes, although you studied with me in the crew for so long last time, and your talent is not bad, but it's still very difficult to be a director!" Director Jiang also echoed on the side.
Lin Yi looked at the faces of Li You and Jiang Dao, and then asked a little weakly, "Then why don't I stop filming?"
"That's not going to work!" Mr. She and the other three said decisively.
“emmmm。 Lin Yi was a little speechless.
What do these three people mean, first they have been persuading themselves to make movies, and now they are hitting themselves again...
The two great hobbies of mankind are to persuade people to fight and to persuade people to surrender.
"Xiaoyi, if you don't make movies, then the loss will be the entire Chinese film industry!" Mr. She looked at Lin Yi earnestly.
"Not really... Isn't there still Director Jiang?" Lin Yi smiled awkwardly.
"I'm old, and so is your uncle. Director Jiang patted Lin Yi's shoulder heavily, and his expression seemed to be entrusting something.
"We all know that you also have a very outstanding talent in music! But your talent in making movies is no worse than your musical talent! Talent is what God rewards you to eat! God feeds you, can you eat it?" Mr. She looked at Lin Yi very deeply.
"Maybe this mouthful of rice is poisonous..."Lin Yi looked at the three of them tremblingly.
The three of them were silent.
This kid can really talk about it!
Director Jiang touched his stubble, and then quickly changed the topic: "I heard that your agent Xiao Yang said, what kind of movie are you trying to make?"
Lin Yi was stunned for a moment, did he skip the persuasion link directly?
"How much does it cost to make a movie, just tell me!" Mr. She patted his chest.
"It's not a lot of money, my first film, I'm going to make a small budget. Lin Yi said indifferently.
"How small?" said Mr. She, a little surprised.
"It probably won't cost a million," Lin Yi said weakly.
"Only a million?" Mr. She cried out in surprise.
You must know that in the current industry, one million is just the salary of some top artists for making an episode of a TV series! And the cost of Lin Yi's first movie can't cost one million?
What can a million do?
"Xiaoyi, we don't save as much money as you!" Mr. She sighed.
A million is a loss for him, and it can't be considered a matter at all.
"Xiaoyi, we are very optimistic about your talent. The first movie is the first impression you give to the audience, if you are thinking about making a low-budget film because you are worried that the movie will be made at a loss, then we recommend that you better not do this!" Director Jiang frowned.
"Yes, and the low-cost scale is actually quite difficult to master, and it is difficult to make a good movie. Li You, who had been silent for a long time, also spoke.
"Yes, Xiaoyi!" Mr. She also looked at Lin Yi with concern.
"However, the movie I want to make really doesn't cost much! But maybe it's a little more expensive to hire actors. Speaking of this, Lin Yi suddenly looked at Director Jiang with expectant eyes.
"Actor, do you have an idea? It won't be me and your uncle?" asked Director Jiang.
"No, I want to ask that Mei Shiyu to make my movie. Lin Yi said.
When Lin Yi decided to make this movie, the first face that popped up in his mind was Mei Shiyu!
He thinks that this male protagonist belongs to him!
Moreover, Mei Shiyu is also a very national actor in China, and now he is also a first-line actor Xiaosheng, with a group of very stable fans. Inviting him to come can be regarded as a guarantee for the basic box office of this movie!
"Shi Yu, that kid, he's been concentrating on life recently, and I don't know if he's willing to come and help you make a movie. Director Jiang said.
Mei Shiyu is also a person in the Beijing circle, and Lin Yineng thought of inviting him to make a movie, which can be regarded as giving Huili to the Beijing circle.
"However, what are you going to make for your new movie?" Mr. She asked as he looked at Lin Yi.
"Well, I guess I have an idea. But I'm going to go back and think about the script. Lin Yi nodded.
"Okay, when you finish writing the script, let's show us! I'll come to you as a producer then! My movie has finished filming, and I'll be idle for the rest of this time!" Director Jiang said very heartily.
Hearing this, Lin Yi was inexplicably moved.
Director Jiang is a very well-known 'slow work and meticulous work' in the circle, usually it takes three or four years to release a movie, but later because of Lin Yi's "Let the Bullets Fly" script, he was in a hurry again after he was busy. Now that he has just finished filming, he has come to escort Lin Yi's new movie.
Lin Yi looked at the three elders surrounding him, and felt a little warm in his heart.
"Thank you, Director Jiang. Lin Yi nodded.
"Sorry! Thank you for what you say! But you kid, the more I look at it, the more I like it! Looking at you like this now, I think of when I was young..."As he spoke, Director Jiang's eyes began to reminisce about the past.
"Harm, Lin Yi is much more powerful than when you were young!" Li You interjected.
"Almost... Almost. Director Jiang replied indifferently.
"Lin Yi, let's go out for dinner with us tomorrow! Tomorrow also happens to be the final day of all members of our crew. Director Jiang looked at Lin Yi and said.
"No, no, I still have something. Lin Yi hurriedly excused himself.
"What can be more important than eating?" Director Jiang frowned.
"I... I'm going to shoot a show tomorrow. As he spoke, Lin Yi had already stood up.
Hearing this, the three of them were silent and did not speak, and cast a relieved look at Lin Yi.
"Just filming the show. Lin Yi explained.
"We all get it. ”
Lin Yi was speechless.
But he hasn't seen Ling'er's girl for two or three weeks, she has just joined the group to film, it is said that it is a movie with a very large investment, she just went in to show her face as a supporting role.
However, before filming the show, Lin Yi also had to meet Mei Shiyu...
