Chapter 0393 "Mo" (Herman's Jue Alliance Master)
"Silence" - this is the final name.
In fact, the process of choosing the name is still quite struggling, the three factions, one faction thinks that "Struggle" is quite appropriate, there is no need to change it, it can be continued. This school is dominated by penguins, but it was the first to be rejected, which is too straightforward and does not conform to the oriental aesthetics of "unclear and powerful". Instead, consider whether to use "struggle" or "fight" directly when translating into English.
The second group hopes to use the name of Mr. Jinxuan's choreography - "Silent Lake" as the name of the film. The external image of "Silent Lake" is that a black crane falls on the calm lake, the sun, the swimming fish, the clear water, everything is beautiful in the present world, but the silent lake shows its magic, engulfing the black crane little by little, this process of struggle, the observation of the surrounding birds, will be expressed in the dance. Its core connotation, of course, is consistent with the plot.
The support rate of this faction is relatively large, because it is very consistent with the way "Immortals Descent" is named. Superstitiously speaking, since "Encounter with Immortals" won a big victory, it may be called "Silent Lake" and may be able to rub a little luck, but Ji Ming denied it, he always felt that this name was particularly like a Chinese name translated from a foreign language.
The last faction is Ji Ming's own "Silence", the intensity of silence is different, being silent, having to be silent, not being able not to be silent, it will make people look forward to it, where is the silence? Only when the reality is revealed at the end, the audience will know that in reality, the protagonist can only be silent all the time, and even when he finally ends, he can't say what he thinks in his head.
The point is.
"Don't you think this name is particularly pretending? Look at the national teacher, "Shadow", how compelling. ”
"Then your name is "Dream", isn't it more appropriate?"
"It's not going to work. ”
Mr. Zhang of Xitian Film and Television looked at him helplessly: "I'll just take a bite." ”
Ji Ming looked around, today is the conference, everyone who should come is here, in addition to the producer and distributor, that is, Ji Ming, Xitian, Penguin, and the four pigs' heads of Beijing Culture, there are also directors and producers, and the producer is none other than Wen Yan - because she has no new projects for the time being, she simply pulled her in as a cow and a horse, and there is also a gimmick of the original cast of "Immortals".
"That's a big question. The world in the script is not a dream world, and all the publicity, including the production process, cannot be regarded as a dream, it is a realistic imaginary world. There is a difference between passive and active, it is Yang Ming's active imagination, we just set him to lie there, deceived himself, and then came up with the world, not passively dreamed, or we put it on him for artistic creation.
This intensity is completely different, and it involves the core of the film, if it is just a dream, and then the dream wakes up, where is the meaning of the whole reality? It is not an abstract film, it just expresses a struggling emotion, a state. No, at its core, it's an inner exploration of the group of people with restricted behaviors, because it can't tell us, so we envision such a situation according to a logic, one of them.
Perhaps, they were thinking of a beach party, or some kind of wine pond meat forest, that is another story. ”
Everyone nodded.
So by the way, "Mo" was given, not so much that they were moved by this name that was a bit of a secondary two, but that they were fooled by Ji Ming. A movie name is important, but it always depends on the poster, publicity, and content to make a comprehensive impression.
"So after you participate in Magnolia, if you start filming in Shanghai, what should you do with your dance learning?" The one who spoke was the director of the film's dance director, Teacher Wang from the Song and Dance Theater, who was also recommended by Teacher Shan Yu, she herself was not named, Teacher Wang was the director, and then Tang Shiyi and Teacher Xiaocheng hung up the dance director, and the specific part of Tang Poetry came to do, and Teacher Wang took the lead: "You just got the choreography, and then if you want to learn, it will take a while, right?"
"I plan to learn with Yang Ming in the movie. ”
"Huh?"
Mr. Wang, a half-aged in her forties, all felt this bullying and cruel atmosphere, are you crazy?
Yang Ming was originally the leader of the group dance, and he only had the opportunity to dance solo in his imagination, and this "Silent Lake" was only exposed to at that time, and he didn't know anything. The rehearsal process must be gradually familiar, and if I learn well in advance, I still have to pretend to be unfamiliar, so I might as well shoot and learn again. ”
“...... Then do you want to shoot so many scenes at the same time, really come to learn such a difficult dance again?" "Teacher Wang has already said once before, I think this dance of Jin Xuan is too difficult, not only the movements are difficult, but also the rhythm is very dazzling, coupled with the obscure connotation, it is already an even more difficult dance, and you have to learn it on the spot, isn't this looking for death."
Ji Ming smiled, his wishing mission is still there, it is not over yet, and it will definitely not end until he finishes learning "Silent Lake" - not worried at all.
"You're just going to give me a chance to brag. ”
Teacher Wang laughed: "You, it's not that I don't trust you, it's really too difficult." ”
"Teacher Wang," Tang Shiyi didn't let herself go down and pretend to beep herself, she explained: "Ji Ming's learning ability is very strong, when Teacher Shan and I taught him before, I understood it, and he said that there is no problem, then it is estimated that there is no problem." And this drama is all invested by himself, so let's get more if it's postponed. ”
Hahaha, the bosses are laughing.
Only Ji Ming looked at Wen Yan and Alice faintly, overspending? impossible.
"Oh well. Teacher Wang had no choice but to sit and wait: "If it's true, then it's quite consistent, Yang Ming was also temporarily given this task, and he was in the play for a week's practice." With the help of dreams, oh no, the bonuses in the imaginary world, I made rapid progress, completed the exercises, and finally got on stage. If Ji Ming is also making rapid progress, he will be playing crookedly, but I'm afraid that you won't have a bonus. ”
I don't have an imaginary world, I have koi fish that you can't imagine.
"I'll try. ”
Mr. Wang has nothing to say.
......
The first script reading of "Silence" was the day after the name was decided.
Several main characters, plus Alice, Wen Yan, and an assistant director of Alice's team, as well as another assistant director Li.
Plays the role of dance teacher Chunya - Pink.
As the ballet dancer Aiqi - Yuan Quan.
plays the role of Chinese dancer Li Man - Wang Xiaochen.
The male dancer of the dance troupe, Xiao Rui - Chu Xiao.
The female dancer of the dance troupe, Rui Er, Lin Chunhua.
The last three are all Xitian's own people, Lin Chunhua was selected first, and then signed Xitian, which has an advantage - cheap. Including Wang Xiaochen, all the money he took was the carriage and horse fare. Teacher Taohong's friendship price is 1.2 million, Yuanquan is to give the real price of 2 million, then Wang Xiaochen is 600,000, Chu Xiao is 200,000, Chunhua is 80,000, and Ji Ming's own salary is only 10 million - "Immortals" is 1.55 billion, and the price of his literary film salary has also been raised a lot, and 10 million is accepted.
In this way, the total salary of the actors, including other supporting roles and tricks, is less than 16 million - speaking of the movies with Ji Ming's participation, the total salary of the actors is less than 16 million, and everyone's eyes have to fall.
According to the salary limit order, the salary of a single person shall not exceed 70% of the total salary, and Ji Ming will be less than a little, just satisfied. The salary shall not exceed 40% of the production budget, which is relatively generous, with a total investment of 50 million.
Ji Ming actually contributed 15 million, and the other three each contributed about 8.3 million.
Beijing Culture will also spend no more than 5 million in issuance costs.
In the later stage, there will also be co-producers who will invest in the purchase of share rights and interests from the other three according to the proportion.
This part is relatively clear, for some very complex film and television portfolios, "Mo" is so clear and clear, it is already a good investment target, but ordinary companies can't get in.
In the small conference room, there is a long conference table.
There were two chairs on the short side, one was for Alice, and there was her translator next to it, and the other was for Ji Ming. He waited outside for a while, and when he came in, he saw a room of chatter, and even Alice chatted happily with the help of the translator, and from time to time a Chinese word "delicious" popped up.
"Don't be fooled by them, these actresses usually only eat boiled eggs and boiled vegetables, and they don't eat food at all. Ji Ming put down the script and cruelly reminded Alice: "Including me, you have to find those fat people." ”
Taohong looked at him with a smile: "What do you think I'm doing? Xu Zheng can't lose weight, not eat too much." ”
"Teacher Xia still has a lot of exercise and skateboarding. Ji Ming glanced at Yuan Quan, opened the script, exhaled, and looked at Alice: "You say?"
Alice nodded.
She does know that this movie is led by Ji Ming, but as a director, she must have her own ideas and insistence, and Ji Ming asked her to say it first It is also an attitude, and there is a high-level simultaneous translator next to her today.
"I believe everyone has read this story. I have a very important opinion, I actually hoped that Ji Ming would remove the last part and only hand over the previous script to you. Because I hope that before the end of the movie, no audience can guess that this is an imaginary world, so I think the performances of the actors should also be based on this, and not spoilers in the performance. But Ji Ming finally thought that it should be all for everyone, and I believe that everyone's professionalism is enough to deal with it. So I'm here, I still have to remind you that that feeling must be there, and this is also a very important requirement when shooting later.
In addition......"
Alice's script is densely written, and the storyboard script on the other side is even thicker, and her degree of understanding of the movie is probably not weaker than Ji Ming, and in terms of specific operation, it is even stronger than Ji Ming.
The actors also unconsciously respect this Italian director.
A director who can prepare for such a detailed situation is worthy of respect in any case - not to mention, this is a famous director who has won the Grand Jury Award and Best Screenplay at Cannes, although the commercial value in China is not very high, but it is by no means a cat and a dog.
"So from the role of Yang Ming, he fell asleep for five years in a stage accident, and when he woke up, he found that his hair had grown and his life had changed, and after returning to the dance company, he found that his dance level had not decreased in practice, and he was very surprised, and then the solo dancer of "Silent Lake" could not perform due to an accident, and the dance company began to re-select candidates, Yang Ming performed extremely well during the interview, and won this opportunity, and then he began to rehearse the dance- In the process, he began to realize that he was not old, and found that the clocks and watches were stopped on the day of his accident, and he found that the promotional flyer of the dance company's program also stopped at the show where they had an accident - he is not a science fiction writer, and he can't perfectly deduce a world five years later, so loopholes keep appearing......" Ji Ming introduced his plot.
He has a lot of scenes, and he talks a lot.
None of the others are that complicated.
"Spring Sprout is the dance director of the company......"
"...... Edge"
The discussion of the script is very in-depth, especially with Ji Ming, Yuan Quan and Taohong, the three drama actors, they are all actors of Mandarin and Renyi, and they are used to conducting very aggressive script analysis, and when Ji Ming first entered Mandarin, he was almost frightened. Now it's Chunhua and Chu Xiao's turn, including Wang Xiaochen, although she is also an old actor and has acted in many TV series, she has not made many achievements, and her performance can only be said to meet the requirements, and more importantly, she learned to dance at the age of three and has very high dancing skills.
They couldn't get into it anyway.
Occasionally, I inserted it, and in the face of the eyes of several teachers who can't wait to see you in the bottom of my heart, I will tremble, and my legs will be weak, so I can only persevere, dig out things from my role little by little, and find useful things from my own experience and experience, as if searching for souls, which is particularly uncomfortable.
The first time they read the script, they felt the difficulty of acting in a high-level movie.
Not to mention, look at the three of them when they fight in a team battle.
"If this is just to make Aiqi a prop for Yang Ming's sex @ fantasy, then there is no need to arrange so many details for her, it can be cut off, saving time and strengthening the rhythm. ”
"The characters must be clean and simple, this is not a movie that makes the network of characters dense and complicated. On the contrary, she must also be extremely plump, otherwise she will not be able to convince the audience, why is such a paper man, you are lying there and dying, and you still have to fantasize. ”
"So you say, 'She likes goose yellow,' 'Her bicycle saddle is goose yellow,' 'She puts a goose-yellow velvet flower on a spider plant,' all these emphatic emphatic emphatic points, how do you focus on the creation of fantasy objects?"
"You can ...... totally"
"I'll ask you again...... And here, here......"
"Your problem is ......"
"Wrong, your understanding must be wrong, I say three points......"
"The first point you elaborate on...... Let's go a little more detailed...... What exactly is here......"
"It's all wrong, you have a misunderstood whole, I'll tell you......"
Lin Chunhua and Chu Xiao glanced at each other, trembling, and couldn't wait to shrink under the table. Or at least let them join in the communication between Wen Yan and Alice - it is much gentler, and in comparison, it is a harbor.
After a script discussion meeting, some people suddenly opened, some people were comfortable, some people were exhausted, and some people had dull eyes......
"Confidentiality, confidentiality, confidentiality!" I repeat. Vice President Yang of Beijing Culture came in halfway, waiting to tell everyone: "Later, our staff will sort out the problems that need attention with the family, especially Chu Xiao, you will receive a lot of attention after the official announcement, after all, it is also the second male number, if there is anything that needs to be cleaned up, our staff will consider it with your agent." ”
Over the years, too many stars have been doxxed, and Ji Ming himself, as the top of the top, will not be negligent in this kind of thing - he doesn't want to become the second "Tongtian Tribulation", and he doesn't like the company to become the second Dragon City Film and Television. I heard that Lian Haicheng is now selling his house in order to find money.
"Okay, when I go back, I'll think about it more, think about it thoroughly, and I'll get in faster after joining the group. Ji Ming added and dismissed the meeting.
In fact, there is no need for him to say that after the shock education, if this is not tight, it is a matter of looking for a cut, and temporarily changing one or two supporting roles is definitely not a big deal.
This kind of reading script was held 7 times in a row, and almost everything that could be discussed was thoroughly discussed, including Alice's translation participation, which was completely thorough. This is the advantage of hiring a group of actors who are not so busy, if there are one or two very tight schedules, this kind of reading intensity is absolutely impossible.
If there is, once or twice at most, not to mention the quality.
Before the start of filming, Ji Ming flew to Shanghai to participate in Magnolia's activities, and other actors followed-the crew will use the Huangfu Small Theater in Shanghai as the main set, most of the plot can be completed in Shanghai, and a small part will be filmed in Jinling.
......
Hongqiao Airport.
When he saw fans coming around, Ji Ming subconsciously glanced at it to see if there was a sister. I didn't see it, I don't know if I didn't come, or what's wrong.
The matter of picking up the airport, probably unless the flight information is protected, it is unavoidable.
Lin Ran and Tang Fan were like Nezha, taking a bunch of cards and letters, and by the way refusing gift bags - at this point, Ji Ming is a very scummy idol, he will just put it away if he doesn't read the letter. Some people are said to read every letter and don't know if it's true.
"Brother look at me, look at me. ”
"Take a look. ”
There is a younger sister who is so excited - in fact, Ji Ming thinks she is like a sister, not a sister.
So before Ji Ming got in the car, he took off his sunglasses, from left to right, from right to left, and stood on tiptoe to look at the back, once it was dull: "I've seen it, let's go." ”
Leave a bunch of crying and laughing fans.
"Don't be emotional. ”
