Chapter 519: Listen to You

"That's what you said..."

Li Mengru said with a smile: "I have suppressed all my blood capital, and I also pulled a friend to join the shares, if I lose money at that time, then I will stay at your house for dinner!"

The new film that Dream Media will prepare is expected to invest 120 million, such a large amount of money, it cannot be solved by itself, financing to attract people to become shareholders is an inevitable choice, and there are as many as five co-producers who can be determined.

As far as the current situation is concerned, it is not difficult for Dream Media to find someone to raise funds and join forces, because capital is very sensitive, and the success of "Chasing the Murderer" has made many people see the potential of Dream Dreams, and there are many people who are willing to follow it.

Li Mengru let out the wind in her circle early on, and there were not many people who came to the door with money, and she also picked out a close relationship and reliable cooperation.

But if such a big investment makes money, it is naturally hello, hello, hello, everyone, if it fails miserably at the box office, although the ugly words of risk sharing are said in the front, Li Mengru is also under pressure.

Luo Kai's assurance was like giving her a reassurance.

Speaking of which, Li Mengru herself didn't realize that her trust in Luo Kai was extraordinary, even if others said the same thing to a big director in the circle, she would only be suspicious, not so convinced.

The mood relaxed and joked with Luo Kai.

Luo Kai smiled dumbly, took out the script that had been prepared and handed it over: "This is the final draft, you can send it for review and filing." ”

Because Li Mengru was anxious to ask for the draft, Luo Kai had been coding behind closed doors at home for the past few days, and after several revisions, the final version of the script of "Across the Seas" was determined.

He has made a large adaptation on the basis of the original dream world, only retaining the basic story framework and character settings, the plot is richer and more rigorous, and a lot of big scenes have been added.

With a production cost of 120 million, at least a wonderful action blockbuster must be made to be worthy of the audience!

Although the original work is very exciting, but limited to the age and cost, the scene cannot be paved very large, and Luo Kai certainly cannot plagiarize it according to the script.

This movie carries his hidden ambitions.

"I'll see..."

Li Mengru couldn't wait to grab it and take a look.

Luo Kai looked through it carefully by her, and poured herself a cup of tea and tasted it slowly.

After drinking a pot of tea, Li Mengru also finished reading the script of "Across the Seas", and she sighed: "It's hard work." ”

For a 100-minute movie, the content of the script is usually about 3-40,000 words, and Luo Kai's script is very detailed, with nearly 50,000 words.

Some screenwriters write movie scripts, revise and revise again, and it is normal for it to take months or even a year and a half, and Luo Kai's speed can be called against the sky.

You must know that "Across the Seas" is not a popular IP adaptation, but a completely original work.

Of course, if you have a complete idea before writing, it is not too outrageous, but hard work is inevitable.

Li Mengru couldn't help it: "I'll invite you to dinner in the evening." ”

Luo Kai smiled: "You don't have any opinions?"

"I don't know much about this..."

As a qualified company leader, Li Mengru never dared not to understand the things of pretending to understand blind command: "I think this story is very exciting and beautiful, no opinion." ”

In fact, the synopsis of the story of "Across the Seas", she knew it before she saw the script in her hand, or Mo Lan revealed it to her, and now she just saw the complete story content.

After thinking about it, she asked, "I saw that you set the story in Xiangjiang, so are we going to go to Xiangjiang to shoot, or do we shoot some scenes in Xiangjiang?"

"Across the Seas" tells the story of three orphans who become thieves and then take revenge, if the story is set in China, there are many problems and it is difficult to conform to reality, but it is normal to put it in the Xiangjiang Special Economic Zone.

The once glorious Xiangjiang movies, police movies and action movies have always been popular genres.

"About 60% of the content was completed in China, and the other 40% was filmed in Xiangjiang, Aocheng and Paris..."

Luo Kai said confidently: "Filming will start after the Spring Festival, if everything goes well, there will be no problem in catching up with the National Day file." ”

"That's just over 7 months..."

Li Mengru frowned, and asked with some concern, "Is it too late?"

The shooting cycle of a regular film that can be released in theaters is usually as short as two or three months, as long as a year or even more, and the length of the cycle is closely related to funds, scenes, number of characters, scripts, shooting plans, crew management systems and execution.

The investment of "Across the Seas" is 120 million, and it involves different scenes in China, Xiangjiang, Aocheng and Paris, plus a relatively complex script, which is a very big test for both the director and the crew.

Although Li Mengru is not an expert in film shooting and production, she also knows that it is extremely difficult to make the story in the script in her hand wonderful and perfect.

And Luo Kai is the first time to be a director, even if she has an almost blind trust in Luo Kai, she can't help but sweat for him: "Actually, you don't have to be in such a hurry, we can put it in the Spring Festival stalls." ”

"The competition for the Spring Festival stalls is too fierce..."

Luo Kai shook his head and said: "And if the shooting cycle is extended, the pressure on capital costs will be much greater, and the National Day file is the most suitable choice." ”

If Luo Kai is a novice, he really doesn't dare to say that it took 7 months to complete the filming and production of a blockbuster with an investment of more than 100 million, but he has written and directed as many as 9 films in the rebirth world, with a total box office of billions.

So to make the most familiar action movie, Luo Kai is really confident.

He led the filming of "Across the Seas", not only to develop comprehensively in film and television, but also to bring out a team that can fight through this film.

"That's fine!"

Li Mengru said decisively: "I listen to you..."

But she still has questions: "Ah Hai must be played by yourself, and the red bean is what Mo Lan didn't say, so who do you plan to play Ah Zhan?"

"Across the Seas" has three protagonists, two of whom are 100% sure that they will not change, but there is another role with a heavy role, and there must be no ambiguity in the choice of actors.

"Let's talk about that..."

Luo Kai said: "Ah Zhan's actors need to be carefully selected, I don't have a suitable candidate for the time being, Sister Mengru, you can help you find it in the circle together, you don't have to be a famous actor, as long as the image and temperament meet the requirements, there is no problem for newcomers." ”

"Hmm. ”

Li Mengru nodded.

Jingle bell~

Just then, the phone on the desk rang.

She picked up and asked a few questions, and then said to Rokai, "The people of Armani are here. ”
