"Tang Dong, will it be too urgent to release it in November, it is already May, and there are only 6 months left. ”

In the nearly 80-square-meter chairman's office of Hantang Media Group, Teng Huatao, Liu Debin, director of the production department, Zhu Mo, director of the publicity department, and the general managers of the company's two artist studios, Deng Chao and Yang Mi, are all there.

Regarding Tang An's proposal to star in the TV series "Thirty-three Days of Broken Love" by the two of them, Teng Huatao agreed after substituting the character image in his mind.

Deng Chao and Yang Mi are also quite suitable for these two roles, but some details need to be modified to make the actors more suitable for the role.

Liu Debin has no doubts, on the big screen Deng Chao finished exploding Wenzhang.

But for the requirement that the movie should be released on November 11 this year, Teng Huatao made a difficulty.

Tang An's concept of Singles' Day he also knows that it has been circulated in a small area before, and last year, he held a double eleven event on November 11, with a single-day turnover of more than 50 million, and the effect was good.

Falling out of love is not becoming a single, this gimmick is just right.

Teng Huatao also had to admire Tang An, in just one day, he actually formulated the publicity strategy, which also made him even more glad for his choice.

The success of a movie is inseparable from efficient publicity, and Tang An is so attentive to this movie, he has a greater grasp of success.

It's May 18th, and it's still 6 months before November 11th.

Even if it is a modern urban drama, this time is too rushed.

"Director Teng, hasn't your crew already completed the preparations, you can shoot the scenes other than the two of them first, give them some time to ponder the script, there are more than 4 months left after the late time of one and a half months, there is enough time, I will let people prepare for the review and publicity. ”

Tang An said so, Tenghua pondered for a while, and time could only come down.

"Then according to Tang Dong's meaning, the exterior and studio should be prepared as soon as possible. ”

Tang An nodded, "I immediately sent someone to find a suitable location for the exterior scene, there are not many interior scenes, shoot while building, and strive to start filming within half a month!"

After the discussion, the contract was signed quickly, and Teng Huatao's director was paid a high price of 2 million, after all, he was just a TV series director and made a movie for the first time.

Deng Chao's salary is 4 million, Yang Mi's salary is 1.5 million, and the production cost is about 16 million.

After signing the contract, Teng Huatao and Liu Debin went out to discuss film preparations.

Tang An turned to look at Deng Chao and Yang Mi, and advised, "This movie is an opportunity, you two take advantage of it, time is tight, eat the characters thoroughly as soon as possible, read the original book again when you have time, and read more comments from readers of the original book, mainly the characters, and if you shape it well, it will be half the success." ”

"Knowing Tang Dong, I will definitely study the script well and not drag down the release date of the movie. ”

Seeing that Tang An personally asked about a small-budget movie, and said it so solemnly, the two people who didn't pay much attention to this movie couldn't help but start looking forward to it.

Maybe it's another movie with dark horse potential!

......

Half a month later, several location teams found the locations needed for the movie in various parts of the capital.

Carving Time Coffee Shop Beihang Store, Lukang Town Gongti Store, Yinquan Riben Cuisine Sanlitun Store, Oriental Grand Hyatt Hotel, Moscow Restaurant, Bird Pavilion Xinyuan Xili Store, Repeat Coffee, Sihexuan Western Restaurant, Beijing Film Academy, Wanda Pullman Hotel, Library Coffee, Sanlitun Village Financial Street, Lan Club, Oriental Xintiandi ......

At 6 p.m. on May 30, the film held a kick-off press conference at the Grand Hyatt Oriental Hotel.

The movie that should be released on May Day has been released for a while, and there are still many reporters at the press conference.

Although Teng Huatao was a newcomer in the film industry, he was a famous TV drama director at the time, and last year's "Snail House" caused a social phenomenon.

In addition, Deng Chao is a first-line movie star, and Yang Mi is one of the four little flowers, and the popularity is not small.

Of course, the biggest star on the scene is Tang An.

No matter how often he brings the topic back to "Thirty-three Days of Broken Love", reporters will still talk about "Edge of Tomorrow".

Even why Teng Huatao changed his career to make movies, and why he is the director of Huayi and why the investor is Tang An, is more attractive than movies.

I pestered for more than an hour, had dinner, and took a break to shoot the first scene directly.

The fountain at the entrance of the Oriental Grand Hyatt Hotel has two scenes, a rivalry between Wang Xiaoxian and Diamond Wang Lao Wu, and a scene reminiscing about being with her boyfriend before.

Although there is only half a month to study the script, after filming the first scene, a few supporting roles will be filmed first, and Yang Mi and Deng Chao still have time to understand the script thoroughly.

In addition to the male and female protagonists, the other actors are still selected according to Teng Huatao's previous selection.

Those supporting roles are basically Wang Jinghua and Hua Yi's people.

Huayi's Chen Yufan, Li Chen, and Liao Fan.

Wang Jinghua's Ma Yili, Guo Jingfei, Jiao Yunyan.

Wen Zhang and Bai Baihe gave up their salaries and took a big risk to share dividends, and a big reason was that Wang Jinghua came in.

These Tang An have not been replaced, if they are really all replaced, Teng Huatao will not be a good person.

And they are all small supporting roles, which are harmless.

After watching a scene, Tang An left.

......

Early the next morning, Tang An came to Tiangong Brilliant to watch the post-production and 3D modeling of the film, and also started the editing of the movie.

The car was parked downstairs in the company, and Chang Hongsong was already waiting, so he immediately greeted him.

"Welcome to Tang Dong's inspection work. ”

Tang An shook his hand and said with a smile, "Mr. Chang is polite, I'm just here to see, I don't understand special effects and 3D production." ”

It seems that he is really busy, and Xiao Yang didn't come down to greet him.

Follow Chang Hongsong upstairs to Tiangong Brilliant Color, the company has completed the expansion compared to the beginning, seven or eight departments have hundreds of high-configuration computers, and more than ten teams are working day and night on the post-production of "Edge of Tomorrow".

I looked at the physical model of the aliens, CG production, and 3D modeling......

I inspected every link and saw some shots of the finished product.

It's mainly 3D conversion, after all, this is a real film, and the special effects are relatively simple.

However, the conversion to 3D requires hundreds of calculations for each shot, 3D modeling, depth of field drawing, and rendering of each lens...... Complex and cumbersome.

Then Tang An went to the two special effects companies of Base FX and Digital Domain, and returned to Tiangong in the afternoon to start editing.

On the first day, I didn't rush to do it, I went through the script first, and I read all the materials.

After sorting out the plot and perfecting the rhythm, I started to do it.

Since the special effects, 3D conversion and editing are carried out at the same time, it is certainly not as easy as editing alone, and the three parties need to coordinate and the progress is slow.

However, there are still 6 months to go, and Tang An is not in a hurry.
