Chapter 53: I used to be on the red carpet

Not to mention that Wu Kai secretly swore to make up his mind, Zhang Luo chatted with Fang Bei.

"Xiao Fang, I think you should think about it again?"

Zhang Luo has always been an innovator in Chinese cinema.

But he still felt that Fang Bei's steps were too big.

just created a film genre, but rashly ran to make literary films...... Isn't that putting the cart before the horse?

Fang Bei didn't think so: "I'm sorry, Director Zhang." My dream is to make a literary film, which is the art in my heart. ”

That's.

He doesn't like to watch commercial blockbusters.

But I can't help it, I want to have just the right meal.

To have a good meal, literary films must be filmed.

So it's just nonsense.

Zhang Luo was noncommittal: "You are young but your heart is too big, and I was as young and frivolous as you at the beginning...... This time, you and I were nominated for the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film, which can be regarded as a long insight. Let me tell you, the Oscars are also commercial films. ”

He is really not good-looking, don't make any literary films.

It's not like being a literary person!

Don't agree with what he said.

The Oscars are indeed commercial films, but those academic judges like those films that put a layer of literary skin on the outside of commercial films.

What metaphors do you have to make a movie?

Anyway, don't care, he just thinks that a movie just needs to be good.

"You have to give it a try. This matter doesn't make sense, don't start to change the topic, "Speaking of Director Zhang, are you sure to win the best foreign language film this time?"

"It's a 30% probability, anyway, there is not much chance. Speaking of his business, Zhang Luo said with a smile: "Our cultural style has always been inconsistent with the Western set, unless we deliberately cater to them to film, there is no drama." ”

Speaking of this, he had a smug face.

Because more than ten years ago, that is, when he was the most rebellious, he deliberately made a movie like that in order to slap those old antiques in the face, and it really won the best foreign language film.

It's just not Oscar, it's Cannes.

Since then, he has never made a film that deliberately flaunts "artistry and avant-garde".

Because his goal had been perfectly accomplished - he had succeeded in slapping the old stuff in the face.

It was also the battle in which he established his position.

And this time he came to the Oscars, he was actually not as modest as he said.

Not to mention the probability of seventy percent, there is always a forty percent certainty.

"It's a pity. He sighed, "It's a pity that Xiaofang's movie doesn't meet the aesthetics of those academic judges, and your movie can only run away." ”

He wasn't sneering, he just told the truth.

"I don't feel like it's funny. Fang Bei said casually: "That thing is too strong, and the one I shot does not meet the standards, and the shortlisted ones are also accompaniment." Besides, my movie is honestly supported by other people, I basically didn't do anything, if this can also win the best foreign language film, the Oscar can also be canceled. ”

Zhang Luo comforted him: "It's okay, it's important to participate." You are still young, and there will be opportunities in the future. ”

"Other films will win awards. Su Murin, who had been wearing an eye patch and closed her eyes, suddenly sat up and spoke.

She took off her blindfold and said lightly: "In addition to the best foreign language film, our film was also shortlisted for Best Cinematography, Best Art, Best Music, Best Editing, Best Costume Design, and Best Makeup. ”

Fang Don't be shocked directly: "So casual? In addition to the Oscar, there are other awards besides Best Foreign Language Film, and foreign films can be shortlisted? Besides, if you are really shortlisted for so many awards, the domestic Internet will have exploded a long time ago!"

Zhang Luo didn't speak, he felt very uncomfortable.

I was nominated for Best Foreign Language Film, and I couldn't be happier. As a result, they were directly shortlisted for several items.

Then don't do it, this kid is still pretending to be a big-tailed wolf!

"Xiao Fang, being too modest is hypocrisy, don't learn those bad things. ”

Don't be helpless: "Director Zhang, what am I hypocritical, I'm really shooting blindly." You look at these awards yourself, and there is no best director and best screenplay, so I happened to do these two jobs. People really like the people on my team. ”

Zhang Luo tugged at the corners of his mouth, he felt that this kid was pretending to be a little too much: "Then you still tell me that the 70 million investment is a rumor? To be honest, I feel that with the level of your crew, the 70 million investment is less." ”

This kid is dishonest and doesn't look like a good person.

Don't do it below: "It's really not as much as 70 million, my company has a record for the budget, lie to you, don't write it upside down." ”

Zhang Luo looked puzzled: "Then how much does it cost you?"

"Seven million. ”

"......" Zhang Luo was speechless, "You are talking nonsense to me! The things in your movie can be made for seven million?!"

"If you don't believe me, I can't help it. Fang Bei was even more speechless than him, "But it does cost only seven million." ”

That's what he spends more.

Book a hotel for employees, go to a box lunch for twenty or thirty yuan, go to and from work by car, and buy new props and clothes directly.

If he came according to the general crew, he could save at least half of it.

"Then you don't want money as an actor?"

"The two leading actors are one hundred thousand and one fifty thousand, and the others range from 10,000 to 30,000, and the group performances are all introduced by Angkor, and even the salary of the group performances is given to me by Angkor. ”

"You don't need money for those explosion scenes or anything?"

"Angkor introduced it, and the money was also given by him. ”

"Employees don't want money?"

"That's right, Director Zhang, you guessed accurately, they basically didn't ask for much money. ”

"What about special effects, special effects and equipment don't cost money?"

"The special effects were done by the special effects artist himself, and he really didn't ask for any more money. The equipment was borrowed from Second Brother Su, and Angkor also supported some of it. ”

"How much do you get paid?"

"Uh...... That's an average of more than 3,000. ”

“......”

Zhang Luo's mentality collapsed.

Why is the average salary of a top Hollywood-level crew only 3,000?

Lao Tzu found an American second-rate special effects company to do the post-production, and spent tens of millions!

Not to mention the rest.

The cast adds up to eight figures, and the first place is not one.

The salaries of the crew, props and equipment are not a small amount.

As a result, the movie I made with 100 million yuan is not good in all aspects!

Where does this make sense!

And Wu Kai, this kid!

No wonder he spent 80 million investments!

How dare you love to eat inside and out, and spend your own money to support other people's movies! Do you also have a share of the military medal of "Captain China"? Why don't you ask people to put your name on the end credits?

In other words, you kid is dedicated to helping others, why do you want to find a black family in the water army?

Backpost?

But you've hit the streets with your own movies......

Wu Kai, are you an undercover agent sent by Fang Bei to the company?

"Xiao Fang, discuss something. ”

"Director Zhang, you say. ”

"Where did you find these talents, give me a few. Don't worry, the treatment I give must be high, at least there is no problem for people to earn more than 10,000 yuan a month. ”

"I'll tell you the truth, I also persuaded them. I discussed with Suying that they would go to other people's side, and they also allowed them to shoot their own things independently. As a result, these guys don't want to leave, so they have to follow me to get 3,000 a month!

Don't hate iron and steel.

Zhang Luo glanced at him, and his complicated eyes were comparable to Wu Kai's.

He felt like he was about to turn black.

Where are you going to reason?

Where am I going to reason!

PS: It's irregular, and I'll send it after I'm done.
