Chapter 126: Post-Production (White Dragon King)

In the end, Zhang Li still rejected the invitation of Mr. Wang and Chen Guofu, because this invitation was completely insincere. And cooperating with floral art, there is no effective benefit at all. One is that the floral art has Feng Cannon, and the other is the de-cinematization of the floral arrangement, so the floral art is not in Zhang Li's consideration at all.

Chen Guofu was not disappointed in the end, when the king said before he came, Chen Guofu felt that it was impossible in his heart. People have a good time playing by themselves, why put a shackle on themselves. However, Xiao Wang was not very happy in his heart, but he didn't show it.

In the past, Huayi was able to become a private leader in the mainland film industry of the flower planter, one was with the help of the Beijing circle, and the other was by Feng Cannon. If you want to say that the big and small kings are capable? That's also capable, but it's still a little worse than some other founders of film companies. Now that the mainland film and television industry is about to change, floral art may be able to support a period of time by relying on a big business, but maybe it will be over when it will end.

...........................................

After the big hit of "Death is Coming 2", Yang Qing can be said to have become truly famous and has become a hot director.

In one sentence, it is that no one asks about the cold window for ten years, and the world knows that he has become famous in one fell swoop.

Yang Qing is different from Lu Yang, Yang Qing's first movie "Nightclub" could not make him really famous, and it is only now that he is really popular. Lu Yang is different, although "Embroidered Spring Knife" really made Lu Yang popular, but he has won awards in several movies he has made before, and he can be regarded as having seen a lot of scenes.

Now at the celebration banquet, a bunch of people are surrounding Yang Qing, most of these people are some so-called seniors in the entertainment industry, or investors, many people want to know him, and people keep telling him, "Yang Qing, what should you do next".

This is actually very normal, there is no shortage of people in this world who rely on the old and sell the old, relying on their age or experience to give people so-called help or provide shortcuts to the road, just to get a little benefit.

Facing these people, Yang Qing was really annoyed. He didn't want to talk to these so-called seniors or bosses at all, chatting with them, Yang Qing always felt very irritable.

"Yang Qing, I have 20 million here, as long as you agree to come down, the director's fee can give you 2 million?"

"Director Yang, I don't know if there is still a shortage of heroines in your movie. As long as you agree, I can personally sponsor two million. ”

"Yang Qing, let me tell you, your movie is still a little worse. If you add more fatalistic discussions to the movie, the movie will definitely win an award. ”

"Well, that's right, Yang Qing, Director Lin is right. Director Lin is the winner of awards such as Best Director of Chicken Noodles, Best Director of Ham Noodles, and Best Film of Spicy Bald Head. If you get rid of those horrors and focus on those themes of life and fate, the future is bright."

Now "Embroidered Spring Knife" is also in theaters, and the reputation is higher than "Death is Coming 2", why hasn't Lu Yang encountered this kind of thing?

Lu Yang has won some film awards, especially an award at the Busan Film Festival and the Golden Rooster Award. If these people go to Lu Yang to brag, except for some people who think some of them brag, many of the rest will be humiliating themselves. Moreover, "Embroidered Spring Knife" is a script written and directed by Lu Yang, and there are some plots and historical reductions in it, but some directors can't shoot it. What to say in front of Lu Yang, slap your face.

is still Yang Qingqing, in their opinion, Yang Qing's movie "Death is Coming 2" relies on the "Death is Coming" series to have its current results, and they can also win such results.

Yang Qing also knows in his heart that the scene of "Death is Coming 2" relies on the reputation of the series to a large extent, but he is the director, and these hairs are a ghost.

Zhang Li, who sent away Mr. Wang and Chen Guofu, saw Yang Qing's situation, smiled, smiled, and walked over: "I'm sorry everyone, I have something to say to Director Yang alone." ”

After speaking, let Yang Qing follow, and Yang Qing immediately followed Zhang Li's footsteps as soon as he saw it. The investors and directors behind could only watch the two leave with smiles on their faces, but they didn't dare to complain. Zhang Li was not Yang Qing, they didn't dare to jump in front of Zhang Li again.

"Congratulations, the movie is a big box office hit, and now he is also a famous director. He sat down in a corner where no one was and congratulated Yang Qing.

"Thank you, Director. Yang Qing smiled a little bitterly.

"What's the matter, I'm not happy about the box office hit. Don't think about it so much, "The Avengers" is a blockbuster, it can be said that it swept the world, and it is already very good that you can win the current box office data. Thinking that Yang Qing was still ugly because of the box office problem, Zhang Li comforted him.

"No,.... Yang Qing wanted to speak again, but after thinking about it, he continued, "Director, do you say that my ability is really not good." "The Grim Reaper 2" is a series, and "Embroidered Spring Knife" is written and directed by Lu Yang, am I not as good as Lu Yang. ”

Hearing this topic, Zhang Li suddenly glanced at Yang Qing strangely. He, a traverser, didn't doubt his ability to direct, and this director, who was also capable in the future circle, now doubted his ability to make films?

"Didn't those people say something? If you say that, then the directors of the world will probably brush off a small half. What's wrong with the sequel movie, the sequel movie is also a movie. And there are a lot of sequel movies that have overturned, and it is also your ability to succeed. I'll sign you up and let you make a movie

It's because I value your ability, I don't doubt it, what else do you have to doubt. Besides, the box office of the movie is not bad, and the reputation is not bad, you still doubt it!" Seeing that his generals were suspicious, this Zhang Li was immediately comforted.

“… I know that "Death is Coming 2" has achieved good results........ But ,........"

"You call it a good name? I'm already satisfied, you know. "Death is Coming 2" is a commercial film, what is the purpose of a commercial film? It is to make money at the box office! The biggest basis for evaluating the success of a commercial film is the box office results, "Death is Coming 2" is now making money, what do you still suspect? Do you know how many directors of the flower growers now make their films make money through the box office? How many of them have such a high box office? If you just talk about the box office of movies, then you are no worse than those so-called famous directors, what are you not satisfied with?"

Looking at Yang Qing with an ugly face, Zhang Li was still worried about whether Yang Qing would be too floating after "Death is Coming 2", and planned to let Yang Qing pay attention to it, but the result seems now. There's no swelling and pride, but the mood isn't right.

The movie is successful, what are you worried about, how can you be bitter when you meet a director who has made a high box office for the first time.

"Those directors who just talked to you are all, don't listen to them. If it was really good, it would be so bad. The total box office of all of their movies combined, I don't think it's as high as your movie, what's so good to hear!"

"Thank you, director!" Yang Qing seemed to be in a better mood, and asked again: "Director, are you just chatting with Chen Guofu and the others to prepare for a big move?"

"It's a big move, but it's a big move of floral art. ”

"What's the big move?"

"With an investment of 100 million US dollars, inviting Zhang Ziyi, Gong Huang, Li Lianjie, Big Brother Cheng, Little Li Zi, and Robert Downey Jr. to make a movie together, is it a big move. ”

"Oh! really!"

Hearing a movie of this scale, Yang Qing was taken aback. If it's really a movie with this kind of lineup, then what kind of company can bring these together? If it was a floral arrangement, Yang Qing would not believe it.

"Director, this investment is obviously not enough. These people's salaries are more than 100 million, is there a box office dividend?"

"Do you believe that?"

"Fake?"

"Hehe, if the flower art is so good, I will be invited to be a director. This is the white wolf with empty gloves, and he is talking about fooling you first. ”

"Not necessarily, isn't "The King of Kung Fu" also a floral project?"

"Hey, Big Brother Cheng and Jet Li are based in China, and Huayi can still be invited as a leading private film company at that time. And you can also find relationships and connections, do you say that Xiao Li Zi and Robert Downey can be invited by flower art? Robert Downey can still be invited for money, Xiao Li Zi doesn't have to think about it, people are now bent on Ao. ”

At this time, Robert Downey Jr. became popular because of "Iron Man" and "The Avengers", but this is a Marvel movie. If Marvel movies pay him 10 million, then other movies will have to be discounted, maybe 8 million or 9 million.

"You leave me alone, what's going on with the next movie? or are you going to take a break or continue filming the "Death is Coming" series?"

"I'm not going to make a series anymore?"

"Still worried?" Zhang Li said with an eyebrow.

"No, I wanted to try to write a script myself, I already had an idea. Yang Qing hurriedly explained.

"What type?"

"I want to make a crime movie!" said Yang Qing at this time, his face was very serious.

"Tell me about it. When Zhang Li heard Yang Qing say this topic, he already had a guess in his heart.

"The main line that comes to mind for the time being is that three good brothers together are partnering to open a hot pot restaurant, and due to poor management, several people can only transfer the store to pay off their debts. In order to "sell the store at a good price", the three of them came up with the idea of "expanding the façade" and dug into the hole by themselves. As a result, he accidentally dug up the vault during the "expansion of the façade". ”

"Isn't that new?"

"I only thought of such a probability, and the rest did not come up with it for the time being. ”

.............................................

Crime films, as the name suggests, are movies about crime. As for whether to shoot this movie from the positive side or the negative side, it depends on what the director thinks.

However, in the mainland, this movie is still relatively rare. There are still a lot of related TV series, such as "The Ninth Brigade", "Six Groups of Serious Cases", "Red Spider" and the like.

And this crime movie is generally about some of the cases that happened, and most of them were filmed from the police's side, and few of them went from the criminals' side.

If you are in the mainland, the ones that have a better impression are probably "Rescue Mr. Wu", "Big Man" and "Looking for a Gun".

"Hot Pot Hero" is a good movie, with crime, love, and comedy, and it is Yang Qing's masterpiece. Well, it seems that Yang Qing has a total of several works, and there are only two screenwriters.

The box office of this movie is around 300 million, almost 400 million. Now Yang Qing has just written a main outline, and it is still far from the real completion.

"Then you can write it yourself, if you have a problem coming to me, but

You have to grasp the scale yourself, don't go too far. ”

"What if I go overboard?"

It's not that Yang Qing and Zhang Li are against each other, but sometimes creation is like this.

"Either change it or change it somewhere else, like Chinatown. ”

"Or HK?"

"It's okay, just pay attention to yourself. ”

For this kind of thing, Zhang Li will not interfere too much. Anyway, I signed them up, and there is no filming without filming.

Although Yang Qing is now famous, he is the contracted director of Zhang Li's studio. Although Zhang Li didn't mind them going to pick up other companies' plays, he had to say hello in advance. And it's so troublesome to take on a play outside, it's better to write a book yourself or find a book to invest in.

........................................

The current "Death is Coming 2" No matter what others say, this movie is making money.

Now Yang Qing doesn't plan to make a sequel, he wants to make a feature movie of his own. Every director must have such an idea, some are to write a script by themselves, and some are to find a script they like.

After Zhang Li's comfort and enlightenment, Yang Qing is now recovering. In fact, there is no need for Zhang Li's enlightenment, Yang Qing will return to normal in a few days. After all, if you still doubt your life with this kind of achievement, then there is a problem. It's just that Yang Qing, who had just achieved results, was disturbed by a group of people, and now he is sober, and after the celebration banquet, he concentrated on retreat and prepared to write a script.

.........................

In the editing room of Glamorous Media.

Da Lao Wang, Li Xiaoping, Zhang Li. The four of Wuershan watched the edited "Green Snake".

After reading it, the eldest king said for a long time: "... It's very exciting, whether it's the fights or spells in it or the pictures or plots in it, it gives people a strong sense of impact, and this movie is a classic!"

Li Xiaoping also continued: "That's right, and Xu Xian acted very well in it, wandering between Bai Suzhen and Xiaoqing, isn't this just a man, hehe." ”

As soon as these words came out, the three men of the eldest king Zhang Li and Wuershan looked at it in embarrassment.

However, the scope of the movie adaptation is a bit large, and I don't know if Xiaoqing and Bai Suzhen's feelings are acceptable. Zhang Li said worriedly.

"Isn't this just what you filmed? What's there to worry about?" Regarding Zhang Li's worries, Da Lao Wang was very puzzled.

It's just a little change, uh, although the change is relatively large. But this is just a movie, and the movie about "The Legend of the White Snake" is nothing impressive, so there is no need to be afraid at all. As for the relationship between Xiaoqing and Bai Suzhen, hehe, it is even more exaggerated in many movies now, what can this be counted.

"Who are you going to look for in terms of music and soundtrack, whether you are looking for HK or the mainland. Li Xiaoping asked directly.

The soundtrack of a movie is undoubtedly an extremely important factor in a movie, and is often referred to as the "second line" of a movie.

The soundtrack of the movie is based on the environment and atmosphere of the characters, as well as the storyline, etc., so it can be said that if there is no music, the movie will probably lose a lot of color.

Especially in the movie "Green Snake", the music in it should be even more prominent, if there is no music to cooperate, then the movie will drop by one or two points.

The music songs in the original version of "Green Snake" have been made by Zhang Li for Li Bingbing and Wan Qian to sing, although the two are not comparable to real professional singers, but the two of them as heroines make music and movies more compatible.

"Didn't you already contact Tan Dun?

The eldest king and Li Xiaoping glanced at each other, and finally Li Xiaoping was defeated.

"Well, that's right. Tan Dun contacted him at the beginning, but he still has to participate in the performance here, so I'm afraid he can't score "Green Snake". When saying this, Li Xiaoping looked at Zhang Li cautiously.

"Okay, forget it, I'll do it myself. ”

Zhang Li was helpless, originally wanted to borrow the master's hand to make his movie to the next level. But now I can only do it myself, as for whether it will be a soundtrack, hehe. He was born in the draft, and he remembers all the music of the movie "Green Snake", but it's very troublesome to get it all.

Star story: This person is not a star, but many stars have a relationship with him, that is, the White Dragon King.

The origin of the White Dragon King is a mystery, and there are many legends anyway. It was probably one day that he suddenly found out that he was the White Dragon King, so he changed his career to tell people good luck and evil every Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. Originally, the living room was just a thatched house, but because he helped a wealthy businessman, he received a large donation and rebuilt a White Dragon King Temple. Mr. Chow is famous for his affair with the White Dragon Prince, and is famous in Hong Kong, Taiwan, and even Singapore and Malaysia.

And many HK celebrities have come to him for advice, Andy Lau and Wang Jing are his friends. And many of the stories about him are magical, I don't know if it's true or not, although many of them are superstitions now. But it's not easy to say about this thing, and many celebrities in HK are his believers, and many rich people in HK are also believers.

I checked a lot of information, and I felt that it was very evil, and many things were said very accurately. Anyway, I don't dare to talk nonsense about this kind of person or thing, I don't believe in some superstitions, but I am more in awe.
