As a director, Lu Yang's response is actually not too much.

But almost all those who have the dream of directing a film will subconsciously conceive and deduce all aspects of their future works in their minds, which can of course be summarized as part of the pre-film preparation process, but almost all directors who are a little more formal will have this kind of behavior......

But the problem is that many times the director is not necessarily able to decide everything related to the movie.

In the final analysis, it is due to the power structure of the crew.

Although the director of a film may be the initiator of the project, and even the original script of the film is because of him, when he does not have enough capital or enough contacts to build the crew in his mind, at that time, it will be his most realistic choice to compromise with the capital side.

In the previous domestic film market, the director's profession was still quite high-minded and did not eat the fireworks of the world, but when the country gradually opened up the entry of private capital, the directors who used to be cold began to gradually bow to capital.

The reason is not difficult to understand - those who choose not to bow their heads are either deeply rooted and do not worry about opportunities, or they themselves represent capital......

Li Mo is one of the representatives of the second type.

It stands to reason that Lu Yang has witnessed the whole process of a movie from pre-planning to filming and release with his own eyes, and he should know that dreams need to be grounded after all.

What's more, Li Mo just asked him to give priority to the actors of his own company as much as possible, and before he shoehorned a bunch of messy people into it, Lu Yang actually jumped out and said that he had an idea......

This made Li Mo interested in Lu Yang's 'consideration'.

"Let's listen to it," Li Mo ignored Chen Shu's action of quietly pulling Lu Yang's sleeve, took a sip of the cup, and continued: "I also want to know which actors are ...... in your mind."

After taking a few deep breaths, Lu Yang still spoke hard.

"For the role of Shen Lian, I want to find Zhang Zhen......"

"No, Zhang Zhen is not suitable for Shen Lian," before Lu Yang finished his first sentence, Li Mo directly rejected his candidate, "To be precise, Zhang Zhen is not suitable for the series "Embroidered Spring Knife". ”

"Why?!, Mr. Li. Lu Yang opened his mouth as expected, "I have learned about Zhang Zhen's information, he once went to learn Bajiquan in order to play in "The Grandmaster", and in terms of appearance, acting skills, etc., he is not bad......"

"Accent! His accent is a problem. ”

Li Mo stated the reason for his opposition.

"Accent?!" Lu Yang blinked, a little confused.

"Lu Yang, I can agree with what you just said," Li Mo obviously came prepared, "If we don't plan to shoot a series, I can agree with your candidate." ”

"Mr. Li, I don't understand what this has to do with whether it is serialized or not......" Lu Yang was still confused.

"I'll tell you the truth, the company has high hopes for the series of "Embroidered Spring Knife", Li Mo sighed, "It will be like Marvel's "Avengers", first tell the story of their respective characters, and then intersperse with other characters, and finally ......assemble at a certain time."

"No wonder you asked me to write a ...... of at least two million words," Chen Shu, who was sitting on the side, muttered quietly.

"Yes, I did start planning these things today from the beginning," Li Mo admitted unabashedly, "Any successful series of movies is basically supported by the original setting......

"Even if the number of fans of "Embroidered Spring Knife" is still relatively small among fans, as long as there is existence, our setting and character relationship are not castles in the air, there is no wood, those who have seen it will take the movie and compare, and those who have not seen it will also have a general understanding of the background of the story when they know that the movie has the original book, which is conducive to our publicity and expansion of the fan base of this movie series. ”

"Mr. Li, I can understand what you mean, but what does this have to do with Zhang Zhen not being suitable for the role of Shen Lian?" Although he had agreed with Li Mo's plan, Lu Yang still didn't understand the relationship between the two.

"In the world of "Embroidered Spring Knife", Shen Lian is the absolute No. 1 actor, the core of the core, so he also appears the most, and Zhang Zhen is an artist from Baodao, and his accent can let people know where he came from," Li Mo smiled, "Can you imagine a small flag official of Jinyiwei four or five hundred years ago, speaking an official with a Baodao accent?"

"Hehe......"

At this moment, not only Li Mo, but even Chen Shu, who was sitting next to him, was amused.

"Although the official dialect of the Ming Dynasty should actually be a Jianghuai accent, no matter how far south, it won't reach the south to the treasure island, right?"

"I ...... We can use post-dubbing......" Lu Yang seems to want to struggle for a while.

"If you use post-dubbing, it means that the voice actor is completely bound to the character played by Zhang Zhen, if the role of Shen Lian appears in five or even ten movies, does the voice actor have to follow him for so long?"

Having said this, Lu Yang could only be silent.

Now that he knows Li Mo's expectations for "Embroidered Spring Knife", he naturally knows the importance of cost control.

Li Mo didn't mention the cost at all just now, naturally not because he was forgetful, but as the first work of the "Embroidered Spring Knife" series, the first thing that needs to be guaranteed is the quality of the work.

With the gradual advancement of the series, the actor's salary naturally needs to have some room for improvement, but if you choose a leading actor and a voice actor, this buy-one-get-one-free plan cannot be considered as an option.

"That's it, let's talk without evidence, and it's too wasteful of time to go down one role at a time, you and Chen Shu go back first to continue to improve the script, the overall tone is slightly upward, and then leave room for a follow-up sequel at the end of the film, after all, you have to take a big idea of how to continue the next few parts......"

Li Mo's casual words made Lu Yang and Chen Shu excited for a long time.

'The next few parts', 'You have to have big ideas'......

Isn't this clearly telling Lu Yang that as long as the first cannon is fired this time, the investment and filming of the next few films will not be a problem?

"Don't worry, Mr. Li, I will definitely think about it and will not disappoint your trust......"

Facing Lu Yang's enthusiasm, Li Mo was a little inexplicable.

Didn't I just draw a pie in front of him, why is this guy so excited?

For this situation, we can only say that for a certain traveler who has not been tortured by investors, he may never experience the kind of director who has his own ideas in all aspects in his life, and finally meets an investor who does not like to interfere with the work of the crew, that kind of mood can almost be called excited...... ntent
