Chapter 42: Bo Ge (2/5)
It was four o'clock in the afternoon, and when Huang Bo arrived at the studio, Lu Xiaoran was discussing with the special effects team how to get the explosion scene.
According to the setting, this explosion was when the train and the large passenger car met, directly causing thousands of deaths, and then the next explosion, directly in the center of Beijing...
Why was it approved?
It's a big deal to change the name when the time comes, it's called Beihai or something...
"The train explosion must be blue light, right?"
"Well, I think so, we can treat it cold, and when this part is screened, I will be muted, only the explosion scene, so it must be huge!"
“OK!”
"Do it well, I have already contacted Huashi for this play, and it can be screened on a small scale in North America, don't let our American counterparts laugh at us at that time!"
"A must!"
Huashi is a distribution company specializing in the promotion of Chinese films in North America, and it is difficult for pure domestic films to enter the North American market, and only Chinese gathering areas may be a little interested.
"The Big Man" is different, it's an action movie;
"Time and Space Traveler" has a soft sci-fi factor, I heard that this film is selling well in Europe, and it seems to have a box office of 8 million US dollars!
"Xiaoran!"
“… Lao Huang, you're here!"
It's very strange that after his worth rose, Lu Xiaoran rarely called other people's brothers, the older ones were called teachers, and those who were about the same age called their names directly, and those who were close to them were 'Lao Huang', 'Lao Xu', 'Lao Ning' and the like...
"What are you fiddling with?"
"Oh, the special effects..."
"You still know about special effects?"
“… A little bit of understanding, mainly they understand, I just need to say the effect I request, and they are responsible for doing it. ”
After a pause, Lu Xiaoran then asked, "Do you want to visit?"
"Forget it, let's hurry up, Lao Ning and they are still waiting. ”
"Okay, I'll send a text message to Wang Luodan and ask her to go directly to Orange Village..."
Hearing this name, Huang Bo finally couldn't help but complain: "You said you want to build a restaurant, I have no opinion, why do you want to call it Orange Village?"
Most film and television companies have supporting dinner venues, you are like a pony Benteng will go to Li Ming's daughter-in-law's Fenghe Residence, Huayi is the Dream Hotel, but they are rich now, I heard that Huang Zhongjun has become a frequent visitor to the Beijing Jockey Club.
Lu Xiaoran simply let Chen Zhixi make a private club, which only accepts orange partners - the very formal kind!
"What a hotel, that's called a private club!"
“… Is that what I'm talking about? I'm talking about names!"
"Oranges are not good? Contains a lot of sugar, a certain amount of citric acid and rich in vitamin C, which is effective in enhancing human immunity, anti-aging, lowering cholesterol and lowering blood lipids. ”
“…”
I originally wanted to call it Juxianzhuang, but I was afraid of infringement...
……
"Aren't you afraid of losing money doing this special effect?"
“… You think too much, Orange Special Effects not only does movie special effects but also takes over a lot of games, animation business, and can basically be self-financing every year, when necessary, I will integrate it casually, it is a game project team!"
When the time comes, make a movie, a whole game, and promote the game with the help of movies...
Tsk, it's all money!
However, Lu Xiaoran is not such a shameless person, unless it is particularly suitable for works adapted into games, for example, "Sword Rain" and "Embroidered Spring Knife" may launch games at the same time, and others like "Room Seven Gift" are still forgotten...
"So, you can make money?"
“… It's a little difficult for the time being, do special effects, spend money in the early stage, spend money in the middle stage, and continue to spend money when it's listed..."
Huang Bo couldn't hold back: "Then why do you have to do it?"
"I have a lot of money!"
On the one hand, there is no place to spend money, on the other hand, there are too many domestic special effects companies, all of them are small hills, and they are not standardized at all.
In fact, it is possible for Hualong Digital, which is directly under the Film Bureau, to become the industry leader, but unfortunately, state-owned enterprises are common, and after Huayi cooperated with him in "No Thieves in the World", he didn't play with them directly, preferring to find a Korean special effects company!
"Eh, I heard that Zhen Dan is very domineering, is it true?"
"It's a little, but he's a martial arts instructor, and it's normal to be domineering!"
"Is it true that Zhou Yang said that he deleted the scene?"
"Yes, but he is for the sake of relaxation, and the director changed the play. ”
“… So, I don't play a supporting role!"
"The selling point of action scenes is, of course, the action stars, we are just gags, which is understandable!"
“… Come on, if I change it, you see that they dare to cut my scene, just to see that you are a bully!"
Huang Bo showed his teeth...
"I heard Wang Luodan say that you want to cooperate with her in "Pretend Couple"?"
"yes, that script is a lot like My Sassy Girlfriend. ”
"She's been replaced!"
Huang Bo was surprised: "Why?"
"The investor directly stuffed people!"
"Who's stuffed?"
"Hollyland hostess!"
“… She..."
Lu Xiaoran looked at him and asked, "What do you think?"
"What can I think?"
"Heroine, the actor has been replaced, you don't have any idea?"
“… I also know Jiang Yiyan, who used to be quite quiet when I was at Nortel..."
"I know this movie, I guess it doesn't have any selling points, so let's push it, let's play it again!"
"What's the game?"
"There are two books, one is called "Manslaughter", and the other is called "Room Seven Gift", I found Xu Zheng, Guo Tao, Liu Hua, Ning Hao, and I sent you!"
……
In fact, Xu Zheng originally wanted to be an artist!
If you look at his early drama works, they are very avant-garde and humane...
He looks down on pure comedies like "Thai Embarrassment" in his heart, so "Hong Kong Embarrassment" explores the mid-life crisis, and "Embarrassment" explores the Chinese-style mother-son relationship...
There's something wrong, what the audience wants to watch is comedy.
You have to mix private goods in the drama, and you look very screwed!
Therefore, "Hong Kong Embarrassment" is very divided, and "Embarrassment" is even more divided!
Many filmmakers in China are like this, feeling that it is a shame to make commercial films only, not only in China, but all over the world.
After "People in Embarrassment", Xu Zheng raised his banner in the comedy industry.
Then, he joined the crew of "No Man's Land" with full enthusiasm, ready to create a masterpiece of his career!
The play was delayed indefinitely...
Life is like that, the kind of person you want to be is not necessarily what you're good at!
During this time, he filmed three works "Big Man Gets Married", "Get Father-in-law", and "Dad Run" while researching the market.
Conclusion: still do comedy!
