A movie that is determined to be released in theaters has a far more complicated production process than imagined.

After signing the contract, the first step is to assemble the creative team.

Director, Cinematographer, Artist, Martial Arts Instructor, Special Effects Company......

In the first step of finding a director, the producer team had a disagreement.

An Xiaofang, as the first producer, she likes Ye Weixin or Li Rengang, both of whom have worked with directors before, and they are very good at making action movies.

Director Ye's Ip Man and Director Li's Jin Yiwei are both the peak of domestic action movies in recent years.

However, in Wang Yan's opinion, they are all a little unsatisfactory.

Our Wang Dashao is the second producer and the main investor, and if he has an opinion, everyone has to continue to talk.

An Xiaofang asked, "Wang Shao, what point are you not satisfied with Director Ye?"

"This year, Director Ye wants to shoot and rush to the clouds, and next year there will be a Ip Man 3, and we will squeeze out 4 months of shooting time in the middle, is it a bit too arrogant?"

Wang Dashao's momentum is amazing, directly accusing a meritorious director of arrogance, Yida and the investment representatives of China Film glanced at each other, and they both felt that this teenager was not easy to fool.

An Xiaofang patiently explained: "Our movie, with its active work and sub-special effects, is very simple to shoot, and 4 months is more than enough ......"

"Mr. An, I believe that the filming can be completed in 4 months, or even faster, and it will not be needed in two months. ”

When Wang Yan's words came out, An Xiaofang frowned: "What's the problem?"

"As an investor, I don't think it's good enough. ”

In the middle of filming two dramas, I squeezed out 4 months to rush to the scene, I just came to shoot, and after filming, I didn't know where to put my mind, what about the trouble?

Wang Yan didn't save face for anyone, and he spoke very directly and straightforwardly.

"A director can not be famous, but he must be enthusiastic.

He has to take our movie seriously, like the story from the bottom of his heart, and want to make a good movie.

You can't just start filming like an errand and make a personal movie.

The personal styles of those two directors are very strong, but our films also have style, are Director Ye and Director Li ready to break through themselves?

I believe that they have a very high ceiling in terms of directing skills.

However, if you don't have that kind of sincere attitude and determination to change, what you can shoot is at most a lower limit.

Ye Dao's 4 months, I firmly disagree. ”

Bang Bang Bang!

Li Yixu suddenly applauded, his face full of admiration.

Wang Shao's words touched my heart, and I firmly agreed. No matter what you do, sincerity is the most important thing. ”

The person in charge of Yida is surnamed Zhang, and the person in charge of China Film Digital is surnamed Li, and he is headed at the same time.

"It's true, artistic creation can't be perfunctory. ”

Four to one, An Xiaofang did not continue to insist.

"OK, Ye Dao Pass. What about Director Li?"

""Three Kingdoms: Seeing the Dragon Unloading the Armor", "Jinyiwei", "Hongmen Banquet", "Manchuria Express", "Heavenly General Hero", all of Director Li's films in recent years, I personally don't like it, Director Li can't shoot witches. ”

Wang Dashao was not ambiguous, the reason was straightforward and condescending.

Regardless of whether the view is right or not, the momentum of the main investor is out.

Li Yixu immediately expressed his support: "The box office of "Heavenly General" is too bleak, we can't risk the witch. ”

Zhang and Li continued to nod their heads.

An Xiaofang did not move.

She has the professionalism she should have, Wang Yan is right about things and not people, it's all for the good of the movie, and differences can be solved through communication.

"Wang Shao, you are a playwright, what kind of helmsman do you think our film should look for?"

Screenwriter Wang's thinking is very clear.

"A master of composition, preferably with a background in photography.

The script is detailed enough, I have the fight scenes in my head, and the narrative and action don't need to be worried about by the director.

The director's ability to improve the quality of the film is the picture, color, and the training of the actors.

So we don't really need a big director who thinks too much, and we need a paranoid person who likes to pick out details.

Otherwise...... Looking for a new director?"

New director?!

The two nodded their heads and looked at each other.

But An Xiaofang didn't have any opinions-not only did she have no opinions, but she even agreed with Wang Yan's attitude.

"No one knows the witch better than you, and loves the witch more, your opinion of Director Ye and Director Li, and the requirements for the director all prove that you have a comprehensive consideration for the project.

From a producer's point of view, it's a sign of control.

Very well, according to your idea, I think we will have a good time working together. ”

Li Yixu smiled and joked with the two nodding monsters.

"The reason why I must participate in Wang Shao's project is because of Wang Shao's strong self-confidence.

Wang Shao is not blindly confident, but based on a bold and feasible plan, the kind of self-confidence with clear thinking and looking at the overall situation.

Mr. Zhang, Mr. Li, Wang Shao is a very capable and miracle-creating leader, and you can rest assured that our producer team. ”

Nod, nod.

The nodding monsters were in good spirits.

An Xiaofang is experienced, Wang Yan has the ability and attitude, and Li Yixu is sleek and good at communication, this is indeed a good team.

A good team doesn't necessarily make a good film.

However, in order to make a good film, you must have a good team.

For now, there is a lot of hope that The Witch will become a good film.

Next, everyone fully exchanged views on a series of issues, and basically confirmed the director's ability and style, martial arts team, photography art, main shooting scenes, etc.

Thanks to the detailed nature of the script, a lot of the preliminary work can be carried out at the same time.

Directing is the most troublesome issue, but An Xiaofang seems to be full of confidence.

After the meeting was adjourned, everyone went about their own business, and Wang Yan stepped on a flight to Dì Dū.

It's time to check on the status of Kokoju and Nawu.

Today, November 25th, if nothing else, will start around February 15th next year, which happens to be the auspicious day of the zodiac, the eighth day of the first month.

Shoot in 45 days, late March and early April.

The post-production special effects are quite simple, and the film will definitely be completed by the end of May, and then it will start to be released immediately.

Everything goes well, it will be released in July, and the summer file will be scrambled.

If it doesn't go well, you have to overturn the original marketing plan, either find an off-season, or fight for the eleventh holiday.

Don't think about the Spring Festival stalls at the beginning of 17, it's impossible to get it.

That is the battlefield of the real top directors and top teams, and Brother Zheng's baby black-skinned star is not qualified to squeeze in?

And the witch is not the kind of family-friendly comedy in the first place, it makes no sense to take the Spring Festival file, it is really the most useful summer file.

If you want to grab the summer file, you have to race against every second.

The main creative team has two and a half months to prepare in the early stage, which is very generous and can do a solid job.

Mainly the cast team.

The actors are in good condition, and the filming progress is progressing rapidly.

Actors can't do it, 45 innocence may not be enough.

And among all the actors, the most important is Fu Yushi, the state of the absolute heroine.

She can't hold on, this film is just a floating action movie, relying on those few fight scenes to attract people's eyeballs - just like the original witch.

She can hold up, and that's not all.

Of course, the original witch has not had bad results.

It's just a pity that too many places have not been done well, and I haven't been able to touch the upper limit that should have been touched.

Half of the reason is that the investment is small and stretched.

The other half lies in the flaws of the director himself.

The original director, Park Hoon-jung, was a screenwriter, and "Improper Dealing" and "New World" showed his screenwriting talent to the fullest.

However, paying too much attention to the portrayal of human nature may be a common problem of this type of screenwriter.

Filming feature films and crime films is their advantage.

What kind of deep human nature is there to make action movies......

What's the trouble?!

The dullness of the narrative in the early stage of the original witch seriously lowered the explosive coolness in the later stage.

After the hearty action scenes, there are a lot of so-called "puzzle solving" that add to the mystery and make a lot of mistakes, which is a failure to drag the rhythm.

Anyway, when Wang Yan was watching the movie, he felt that the director was simply a brain.

It's not cool enough, it's not cool to the end, it's awkward, it's like mixed with chocolate.

It's still chocolate, it's really delicious when it's delicious, and the rest of the time you have to endure the weird smell.

Screenwriter Wang's version will definitely not be like that, the plot progresses layer by layer and is finally cool to the end.

But can Xiao Gongju do it?

Can you use your acting skills and style to prop up the early stage?

This is a problem.

If you can't fulfill Wang Yan's request...... You just go with the bear to nibble on the green onion!

Ruthless, Wang Da Shao was so angry that he killed the emperor dance.
