Chapter 131: Initial schedule
What are the actions of the Wang brothers, Li Mo, who is already in the crew, naturally will not know.
Even if he knew, he didn't care about the Wang brothers' energy at all.
After entering the new century, the influence of traditional film and television companies and old family businesses has been declining at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Maybe people like Wang Zhonglei are still immersed in the era when HY is the leader in the industry, but Li Mo knows that in a few years, with the entry of BAT, the influence of HY, Fiber Optic Media, and Xinli Media will shrink rapidly.
Having said that, if Li Mo had come to this time and space ten years earlier, he probably wouldn't have rejected the Wang brothers.
"Chinese Partner" had a filming cycle of three months in the original time and space, and after the filming was completed, I don't know if Chen Kexin went to be a judge at the Cannes Film Festival to delay time or some other factors, anyway, it was not officially released until May 2013.
And Li Mo estimates that this time is not because Chen Kexin really has this speed, it is entirely because the producer has applied for the Golden Rooster Award for this movie.
As we all know, the entry criteria for the Golden Rooster Award are films that enter theaters before June 30, and "Chinese Partner" is stuck at the last point in time in its previous life.
If it was completely according to Chen Kexin's plan, Li Mo doubted that he would directly make it a New Year's stall......
In this time and space's "Chinese Partner", Li Mo will definitely not play like Chen Kexin.
In his previous life, although Chen Kexin's film company accounted for 70% of the investment, in fact, after he and China Film Group finalized the investment ratio, he immediately subcontracted the investment ratio in his hands through various channels.
In the end, only 20% remained in his hands at most......
But Li Mo is different, his investment ratio is as high as 50%, and there is no subcontracting, although the 30 million is temporarily advanced by Fiber Optic Media from the box office share of "Hypnosis Master", but Li Mo has really regarded it as money in his pocket.
If you can return to your capital early, a fool will drag it out until next year.
So Li Mo waved his hand and directly reduced the filming cycle of "Chinese Partner" to about 65 to 70 days.
In other words, Li Mo plans to complete the shooting of all the shots by the end of August at the latest, and then start editing and post-production......
As for the release, Li Mo set the time for mid to late October.
The reason why he chose this time was carefully considered by Li Mo.
Thanks to the relationship between China Film Group, Li Mo has already gotten the launch time of the film in the second half of the year half a year in advance.
Originally, Li Mo thought that except for Feng Gang's "1942" and Xu Zheng's "Thai Embarrassment", there should not be many strong opponents in the second half of the year, until he saw that name on the online schedule, he realized that if he didn't put "Chinese Partner" into theaters in mid-October, then at least until January next year, "Chinese Partner" would not have to count on anything.
The name of that movie was: Life of Pi.
It was Li An's return after screwing up "Lust and Caution" and "Making Woodstock", after a few years away from the film industry. The plot of this movie, the interpretation will not be said here, just the beautiful 3D scenes presented in the movie are enough to make Li Mo shy away from this movie.
If the Celestial Empire region is not launched simultaneously with the United States, Li Mo may still have the courage to fight with it, but from the current point of view, China Film Group is also very optimistic about the money situation of this movie in the Celestial Empire region, plus November itself is not a good schedule, Li An can be regarded as half of his own people, so ......
Gotta get it, you're a big guy, I can't afford to mess with it......
Originally, Wang Changtian once suggested that the schedule of "Chinese Partner" be synchronized with "1942", but as long as Li Mo's IQ is above the passing line, it can be imagined that Wang Changtian's move is completely killing two birds with one stone, in addition to further attacking and stimulating HY, he also intends to use this to make Li Mo completely stand on the opposite side of HY.
Even if Li Mo can't see the doorway here, Zong Shuai is not a fuel-efficient light bulb......
After thinking about it, Li Mo finally set the release time around mid-October.
As for the exact time, it depends on the amount of editing and post-production work.
……
Speaking of which, Li Mo traveled to this time and space, and it wasn't until this "Chinese Partner" that he realized how much convenience it would bring to his work by cooperating with actors with acting skills.
In fact, Lei Jiayin and Wan Qian, who have worked together in "Hypnosis Master", are also actors with excellent acting skills, but the scale of the crew of "Hypnosis Master" is too small, even if the actors' acting skills are online, the time they can save is very limited.
But "Chinese Partner" is different, there are hundreds of extras in the relevant scenes in the imperial capital and Jinmen area alone, and the number of various personnel in the crew adds up to more than 800......
This is far from being comparable to the crew of "Hypnosis Master", which has less than a hundred people.
Because all three lead actors got the script at least two to three months in advance before filming began, even though the three of them chose to participate in the film with different motivations, at least one thing is the same, they all did their homework for the film and the characters in the film.
Wang Xiaoming even went to a small mountain village to experience life for half a month in order to perform the rustic and humble atmosphere of Cheng Dongqing when he first entered college, while practicing his spoken English......
With this preparation, the shooting naturally went extremely smoothly.
But...... Occasionally, there are times when it gets stuck.
For example, in today's paragraph, Cheng Dongqing in "Chinese Partner", because his family is in the countryside, has to experience the transformation from an emaciated rural child to a mature senior elite in the movie, so Li Mo specially reminded Wang Xiaoming that he needs to gain weight to a certain extent.
At least in the later period of suit and leather shoes, you can't be as thin as a hemp pole.
Wang Xiaoming can be regarded as open for this drama, not only eating more and moving less, but also eating a high-protein diet, and in a few months, he has also gained more than ten catties of weight as he wished.
…… As a result, when it was the turn of today's bathroom scene, as soon as Wang Xiaoming took off his vest as required, Li Mo was directly dumbfounded.
He really had never seen anyone gain weight and actually increase such a wonderful effect.
Wang Xiaoming's chest is still boxy with two large pectorals, but his stomach has become a beer belly.
Originally, Li Mo thought that he could change or cover up something through the camera, but he tried for an hour, and the final result was still unchanged from the beginning.
As long as Wang Xiaoming stands up straight, unless he is not given a frontal shot, everyone's attention will definitely stay on his strange stomach and chest muscles......
How do you think it's funny......
There was no way, Li Mo had to rewrite the script on the spot, and temporarily changed the content of the three of them talking about the prospect and ridiculing each other while taking a bath to Deng Chao and Wang Kai taking a bath naked......
As for Wang Xiaoming, he was only wronged and wore a dark green vest and squatted aside to wash clothes......
