Chapter 420: Investing in Films
"You have to think clearly, it doesn't matter if I'm here!"
Back at the company, Qi Qi finished reading the script, put down his glasses and said, "It's indeed a good book, especially for your path." ”
"There are no big scenes, no post-production special effects, it is estimated that four or five hundred can be done. The publicity and distribution will be at least two or three million, and eight or nine million will be released. ”
Bu Fan nodded, similar to what he thought, compared with the current investment of hundreds of millions of dollars, this is already a low-cost production.
Qi Qi looked at Bu Fan with a smile and quipped: "Sooner or later, I have to take this road, but I didn't expect it to be so fast?"
Bu Fan smiled and explained: "The director has the grace of knowing me, and he helped me a lot when he was playing tricks, otherwise he wouldn't be where he is today." ”
"The main thing is that the script is good, the role has a lot of room to play, and the money is not too much, so..."
"To put it bluntly, isn't it because you've thought about drama?" Qi Qi interrupted directly and scolded with a smile: "Why are you talking so much nonsense?"
For Bu Fan, Qi Qi, who single-handedly excavated him, has always supported or connived, and Bu Fan's personality and Bu Fan's current achievements are also worthy of Qi Qi's preference.
Hearing Qi Qi's words, Bu Fan gave a thumbs up, you are smart!
"Anyway, it's your hard-earned money, since you have decided to invest, you have to admit it if you lose it in the end. Qi Qi warned: "It's not expensive to buy a lesson for millions, and it's not easy to understand that investors are not good." ”
"I will give you a two-month schedule at most, and I can help find a relationship, and you can worry about the rest, just don't cry if you mess up!"
Qi Qi shook his head helplessly when he saw Bufan leaving, for this kid, he is definitely a model of free-range.
No way, the acting skills are good, the people are low-key and smart, and they have never looked for miscellaneous things.
Don't look at it, it's only been more than three years, and the big names who have worked together can become friends.
Qu Zheng, Guan Hu, Wang Shuai, Kang Lei, Gao Shu, Zheng Bao...... Proper serfs turned over and became masters.
After all, he is still young, as long as he doesn't hurt his muscles and bones, it's a good thing to touch nails more, it's nothing more than a waste of two or three months, and he has fun in his twenties.
Since you want to be a powerful acting person, you have to try all kinds of roles, even if you have acted in a lot of bad movies, haven't you?
As for the pressure of the other partners of the company, Qi Qi helped Bu Fan resist it.
.......
Since he decided to shoot, Bu Fan signed a formal contract with Hu Zhonghua the next day, with a salary of 2 million and an additional 5 million cash investment, accounting for 70% of the shares.
Hu Zhonghua invested 3 million, accounting for 30 percent, and the total investment reached 10 million.
To say that Hu Zhonghua has long been holding back his strength to play with a big ticket, patting his chest to ensure that everyone will be there in two days, and go back to Hengdian to choose a bustling street scene, and all the shots will be completed here.
"The host starts to be arrogant...."
"The host opens up contempt...."
..... A series of systematic emotions were superimposed, and Bu Fan looked at his incomparably unbeaten face in the mirror, with high eyebrows and no one in his eyes, especially his chin, which was more powerful than a hook.
There is a line written all over the face:
Lao Tzu is awesome!
Now that he is familiar with emotions, as long as any emotion is raised, he can enter the play in a second, and as for the inner emotions to accumulate in the characters, it is a matter of time before he enters the play.
The actor's name is Hu Fei, in his early thirties, a budding stockbroker, who climbed from the countryside to the big city little by little, and gradually lost himself in his inner desires in the face of drunken gold fans.
Although the movie is only 90 minutes long, it is likely to be the whole process of the change of people's mind, and this is the most fascinating part.
In my own eyes, the criteria for measuring a script or a character are simple: Are there rich and complex inner changes?
No one is perfect, and everyone's present is made up of the accumulation of bits and pieces of the past. No matter how bad a person is, there are times when he is kind, and no matter how good a person is, there is an unknown darkness hidden in his heart.
How to show these to the audience is the most worthwhile goal for actors.
As for the rest, it's nothing more than a means.
The reason for investment is that the most important thing is from the desire of the heart, Qi Qi is right, he is a drama addict.
Actors take on the play, no matter what the reason, for money, for fame, for self-improvement...
You have to give yourself a belief, this is the fulcrum of everything, otherwise you are wasting your life.
You don't even believe in yourself?
Is the audience blind?
It can even be said that whether there is a true sense of belief is an important criterion for judging the quality of acting skills.
To let the audience recognize your acting skills and appreciate your play, the highest level is to be able to say that the dead can be said to be alive.
In this regard, we should learn from children, they love to play at home, you are a doctor, she is a mother, holding a little doll to see a doctor, and they are so serious and full of conviction to learn to do it like an adult.
Holding a lifeless little rag doll in his arms but full of real feelings, carefully feeding it medicine, gently coaxing it to sleep, and having this kind of innocent belief is so precious to an actor.
Qualitative change cannot be separated from belief, belief cannot be separated from reality, and cannot exist independently of each other, and without them, there will be no experience, no creation.
The so-called lack of acting skills actually reflects that the actors do not believe in the characters they play, and only use them as a tool to present the lines bluntly, without really entering the hearts of the characters, and they will definitely not understand the actions and feelings of the characters.
Actors seem to be a profession with a low threshold, and countless draft miracles and overnight success bring people a certain illusion, as if everyone can be it, and it doesn't take much effort?
In this Internet era, everyone can open an official account and write Weibo, as if this proves that everyone can become a writer?
In a sentence from Lao Guo:
In the cross talk industry, the threshold is inside!
Especially newcomers, they may get into it because of vanity, and even rely on cleverness and luck to get some benefits, but these will not support you to the end, because by nature you don't believe in what you do, let alone love it.
The most ironic thing is that this phenomenon seems to be gradually becoming mainstream, and actors don't believe in the roles they play, just to attract attention.
Writers don't believe in their own opinions, just to earn clicks.
Many people even think that what they are doing is actually useless, but they are just messing around.
In the eyes of many people, work is the most boring thing in the world, and once you have money, the first thing you do is quit your job. As a personal choice, of course, this is understandable, but in a way it is also sad, because they have never experienced what it feels like to love.
In any field, there will be tedious and boring parts, but why some people give up halfway and others stick to the end, the difference may be whether you love it or not.
Many people like to ask successful people a question: when you are at a low point, what do you rely on to survive?
In Bu Fan's view, this kind of question is meaningless.
If you really like to do something, you don't even think about it.
For example, if you like to paint, you will do everything you can to paint, if you don't paint, you can't, painting is like eating for you, if you don't paint, you will starve to death.
A sense of conviction is a love that comes from the heart, and it is the thing that it is, not the aura that it brings.
It's that simple!
I remember that many years ago, on the Spring Festival Gala, Mr. Chen once performed a sketch called "Eating Noodles", designing a scene in which an actor repeatedly ate many bowls of noodles due to various inappropriate reasons.
The audience obviously knew that there were no noodles in the bowl, but he was able to make the audience feel that they had indeed eaten a lot of noodles through his performance. The most important reason why the performance is vivid is because he has a belief in authenticity.
I firmly believe that there are indeed noodles in the bowl in my hand, and I keep eating the noodles, and the pain caused by the stomach because of many bowls of noodles arouses the resonance of the audience.
The most awesome thing about the system is that for the accumulation of details, after countless trainings, the same emotions can be generated in the heart.
Even if you haven't experienced it yourself, you will have empathetic experiences, and conveying emotions to the audience is Bufan's most rewarding goal.
"That's what you do?"
Bu Fan casually flipped through a few pages of the thick report in his hand, looked at the trembling little assistant in front of him, and said with disdain: "It's just rubbish!"
"If the reports are all written like you, we can all go and ask for food!"
"See there's a trash can in front of you?"
"Take it yourself and throw it away!"
The little assistant lowered his head and took the report that he had worked so hard to finish all night, and at the moment he turned around, a shrill voice sounded in his ears......
