Chapter 16: I'll Shoot
Ren Yi took a cursory look at the script, but he didn't have much hope, and he was still a little disappointed after reading it. It's not a question of whether it's good or not, it's a question of positioning. In a sense, making a movie is the same as writing a novel, and the director who makes a literary film is the author who writes a novel for the sake of his ideals. Directors who make commercial films are in order to make money. When they reach a certain age, most of the authors have "woken up" and thrown away such nonsense ideals that have been famous for thousands of years, and just want to have food and clothing without worry.
Ren Yi has been mixed for some years, and he is definitely an old fritter. He knows better than anyone else that when a movie is labeled as a "literary film", the box office is basically cold. Of course, the possibility of a big hit in literary films cannot be ruled out, but this probability is ...... Don't mention it......
Besides, according to his experience, this book has too much probability of hitting the street. hit the street, not to mention the box office, and even get fame.
He is not bad for fame, he debuted as Wang Fang in a few years ago, and a "Rooster First and then Eggs" has drawn a strong stroke in black humor film and television works, and the box office almost exceeded 100 million. At that time, the box office exceeded 100 million, which was much more valuable than now.
All of a sudden, countless investment filmmakers extended olive branches. However, next, Ren Yi filmed one, but hit the street. In seven years, twelve movies have been made, which is definitely highly prolific, but the highest box office is only six million!
When a certain forum selected "box office poison" last year, he actually passed five levels and killed six generals and won the crown! Nima ...... Doesn't the box office poison refer to those little fresh meat who have no acting skills and can only stare at plastic surgery women? He is a director, what do you choose him for? Are you sick?
This selection made Ren Yi deeply stimulated, and after thinking about it carefully, Ren Yi felt that these years were really a history of death.
He knows that he can't go on like this, he must get back to the state he was in back then, lose his conceit, study popular works, carefully choose scripts, and seriously make a movie that can make a lot of money.
So "An Empty City" is not his cup of tea.
Ren Yi: "This story is too rubbish, I'm a principled person, and I will never shoot a garbage script." ”
Kong Zhen began to untie his belt again.
Ren Yi: "Wait a minute...... In fact, the main line is quite good, modify it well, and it is still photographable. ”
Chen Fei: "Don't change it, don't change a word, just shoot like this." ”
Ren Yi: "Then you should find another job, I really can't shoot...... Damn, you pervert, can you tie your belt?"
Chen Fei winked, Kong Zhen took two steps back, and didn't scare Ren Yi anymore.
Chen Fei: "If the script is not changed, you can not shoot it, I will make a compromise suggestion, after this movie is made, it will be attached to your name and declare to the outside world that the director is you ......"
What kind of operation is this? Shoot out the garbage and deliberately destroy him? Don't make a fuss, does he still need someone else to destroy it? I've almost ruined myself over the years. Who is idle and has nothing to throw thousands of losses into it, so that he can bear the infamy again?
Hey, no one is looking for him to shoot his cool online movies, how can there be any popularity.
Ren Yi: "Brother...... I...... I'm a little confused!"
Chen Fei: "There's nothing to be confused about. If this movie is lucky enough to have some results, what award will it get, you can go and receive it generously. If you become popular because of this movie, we don't know each other. Director Ren is a smart person, and I'm sure you'll understand it in the future. Of course, you can't rely on your name in vain, how much money is needed, you ask. ”
Ren Yi became more and more confused, it was impossible for money to ask for money, and he wanted the video about him in Chen Fei's hand. However, Ren Yi is a smart person, he knows that the movie doesn't have a word, and if it is not released, people are afraid that he will turn his face and not recognize people, so they will definitely not give it to him.
In that case, it is better to be cheerful and generous.
Ren Yi laughed: "Brother, I thought it was a big deal to make such a big battle." Isn't it just my name, an outdated little director like me, someone can still see it, and it's too late to be happy. What kind of money do you mention? It's free, just make friends with everyone. ”
Kong Zhen was very discerning and went directly to prepare the contract.
Sign, press the handprint.
Seeing Ren Yi's back as he left, Kong Zhen frowned: "Xiaofei, I'm also a little confused." Didn't you ask him to make a movie? Why did you become a name attached to him? What do you do, the movie is popular, and the fame is all his? These are not the key, the key is that he is gone, who will make the movie? How do you think about this today...... It's a bit of a......"
Chen Fei: "Do you want to hear something more?"
Kong Zhen: "What could be more?"
Chen Fei: "I'll shoot!"
Kong Zhen Lao Gao looked at each other with four eyes, and it was really even more ridiculous.
That's right, Chen Fei himself felt. Can you talk about it again, can there be such a thing as rebirth? When you come back from rebirth, aren't you talking about it one after another, and you can be entangled in Korean smoke if you hum a song in a small hotel, and you say that you are a big star, shouldn't you go in and out of a five-star hotel? What are you doing in a small hotel? A stunned young man who didn't understand anything entered the stock market, and 1.2 million in a month and a half turned into 3 million. Three strange people make a game casually and sell it for 10 million......
It was precisely because Han Yan and Kong Zhen were so that Chen Fei made up his mind to go out in person. This Ren Yi doesn't want to shoot "An Empty City", the twisted melon is not sweet, and he may make trouble during the filming process. Moreover, even if Ren Yi shoots, it may not be exactly the same as the previous life. In this case, it doesn't matter whether there is any righteousness or not.
His brain is like a computer, and what he has experienced and heard in his past life is engraved in his mind very clearly. He has watched "An Empty City", and every actor and every expression in it remembers it clearly. He described the effect he wanted, and just found a little-known and average director to shoot it.
Call Han Yan: "I'll go to Jiangbei Film and Television Base tomorrow." ”
Han Yan: "The speed is so fast, you can be efficient, the crew is ready so soon!"
Chen Fei: "Hmm...... Don't boast, I'm almost not ready. ”
Han Yan: "It's okay, I'll take care of what you need." ”
Chen Fei: "Poor ...... Art"
Han Yan: "It's okay, my studio has it." ”
Chen Fei: "Uh...... Makeup artist is also missing. ”
Han Yan: "It's okay, the three of me, absolutely professional!"
Chen Fei: "If you can, bring a few more recordings." ”
Han Yan: "Okay, no problem. ”
Chen Fei: "That ......"
Han Yan: "If you need anything, just say it, what are you polite to me?"
Chen Fei: "Props master, stills master, costume engineer, field manager...... Also, most importantly, find a director......"
Han Yan was stunned: "Wait a minute...... Chen Fei...... You wait first, I'll ask weakly...... Our crew, what's not missing?"
Chen Fei: "There is no shortage of scripts! Don't worry, you are responsible for finding people, and I will pay for the money." ”、
It's not a question of money or not.
hung up the phone, and Sister Ying next to her was even more worried: "Xiaoyan, we can't joke about our future, you suspended all work, you really want to talk to this...... This one...... This neurotic is going to make a movie?"
Han Yan patted her forehead, crying and laughing, but she still said firmly: "Sister Ying, form a crew, I believe in him." ”
