Chapter 195: Male Soldier Company
If the idea is smooth, the script will be easy to write, and the startup is just around the corner. The film is still directed by Ning Hao, but it is produced by Lu Lin.
This time it's a real name, "Heart Flower Road" is different from "Wolf Warrior", there is no too obvious slot in the plot, except for "Female Avatar", which is a hit and sent thousands of miles away...... Inamorato. This slot point is that Xu Zheng is a little greasy, but it is not a big problem, after all, it is also possible to fall in love for a long time, otherwise it is difficult to explain the marriage part!
Ning Hao's directing skills are also well-known and recognized by many parties, Lu Lin can't worry too much, just sit back and wait for the box office to be shared. In fact, even if Ning Hao asked him to participate more, Lu Lin didn't bother to bother.
How to say it, I'm used to big scenes and cool special effects, and then this kind of low-cost film with a healing system is always a little uninteresting. It's not that "Heart Flower Road" is not good enough, and Lu Lin's "achievement threshold" has been raised.
But Ning Hao and the others were still quite excited, thinking that this was a very interesting film, Xu Zheng and Huang Bo were very interested in participating in the discussion of the plot, and Lu Lin had some expressions.
After eating, they dispersed and were driven by Gao Wen, an assistant who had not been drinking. Seeing that Lu Lin seemed to be loveless, she hurriedly asked, "Are you feeling unwell?"
Lu Lin leaned back in the chair and squinted, "It's okay, just get home and sleep!" Gao Wen didn't ask any more, and sent Lu Lin to a two-bedroom apartment near the company before driving away.
Lu Lin was a little depressed, he found that whether it was the award or "Heart Flower Road", he couldn't arouse too much interest, and he still had a good time making special effects blockbusters! Because he has no family and no love, once he stops working, he is very easy to be empty, lonely and cold.
The next day, Lu Lin returned to Longlin Pictures and told Song Ge about investing in Ning Hao's new film, and asked him to remember to contact Bad Monkey Pictures and sign the contract.
Song Ge naturally said yes, and talked about "Run, Brother", and the people in the variety show production department felt that the bodyguard was now very popular, and proposed to invite the bodyguard to join. Song Ge has agreed, and the contract has been negotiated with the bodyguard.
"The bad one, I want Han Dongjun to be on it, but he is filming "Wolf Warrior" now, and the time is a little wrong. Song Ge said.
Lu Lin thought about it and felt that it was really more appropriate to use Han Dongjun. First, the fertilizer and water do not flow into the fields of outsiders, and good things must be done to their own families. The second is the comparison between Longlin's version of "Running Man" and another time and space, that is, Reba replaced Tianbao, and Han Dongjun replaced Li Chen. Li Chen's character in the running man is loyal and honest, and Kong Wu is powerful, and these two points are more consistent with Han Dongjun.
"It's just him, it's a big deal, I'll talk to Wu Jing when I go back, and delete Dong Jun's role a little!" Lu Lin said casually.
Song Ge hesitated, "Is it appropriate?"
Lu Lin said with a smile: "The protagonist of this film is Wu Jing, and the rest of our wolf warrior squadron have similar roles." More and less, all of them are green leaves for my senior brother, and they can't be colorful!"
Song Ge thought about it for a while, and then talked about the next work arrangement. "Wolf Warrior" will continue to be filmed, but Lu Lin's workload is not large.
""The Company of Heroes" can be prepared for start-up, no matter how late it is, it won't be able to catch up with the New Year!" Lu Lin said suddenly.
Song Ge asked: "The script is completely finalized?"
Lu Lin has been writing the script of "The Company of Soldiers", and he has been polishing it intermittently. If it weren't for helping Wu Jing get the script and pre-shooting of "Wolf Warrior", this would have started a long time ago.
Lu Lin leaned back on the sofa, a little excited: "Well, that's it, it's going to be a few months before and after, and if you change it again, I'll collapse!"
Changing the script is almost the same as changing the script, and it's very painful. You have to take into account the original plot and character design, but also change the new ideas, which is really uncomfortable.
Song Ge didn't have much experience in revising the script, but he knew that feeling, and said with a smile: "Actually, you don't have to be too serious, there are too many films full of logical loopholes, even if we have one or two flaws occasionally, it is a work of conscience!"
Lu Lin smiled helplessly, "I have a bad conscience, anyway, I did my best!"
Manpower is sometimes exhausted, although super microcomputers can help do some auxiliary work, but creative things still have to rely on the human brain.
"Okay, I'll arrange these!"
Although the script is important, it is only the beginning, digging a foundation. There's so much more to do to build a skyscraper.
The first problem is investment, Longlin Pictures is naturally not bad for money, and last year's "Breakup Master", "Thai Embarrassment", and "Breaking the Sky" made a lot of money.
The global box office of "Hou Yi Shooting the Sun" was finally fixed at $1.1 billion, and the divisible income attributable to the producer was about $410 million. Among them, the production cost was 510 million yuan, and Longlin Pictures paid 300 million and a half.
The publicity and distribution costs were not discussed in too much detail before the start-up, and the three companies negotiated before the release and decided to share them according to their respective proportions in the production investment, so Longlin Pictures accounted for 68.6% of the total investment, that is, it should receive 281 million US dollars, about 2 billion yuan.
It can be said that in the Chinese film market, only China Film can compete with Longlin Pictures in terms of operating income and net profit. And China Film mainly relies on the release of Hollywood blockbusters and makes money lying down!
Longlin Pictures is not short of money, and it is gradually rising in publicity and distribution, so it is natural that it will not easily use external funds. Therefore, the filming expenses of "Male Soldier Company" this time are mainly borne by Longlin Pictures.
As for the investment you want to participate in, you can't just take money to participate, and Longlin Pictures is not short of money at all. Not only is there no shortage, but Song Ge also has to worry about how to spend the money.
Other companies are lending for development, you are good, how many billions of cash are lying on the corporate account, isn't this a joke!
What the project lacks is not funding, but support from the military. Because the film involves warships, tanks, helicopter gunships, and various advanced firearms, without the support of the military, it would not have been possible to shoot in China.
Fortunately, because of "Wolf Warrior", Longlin Pictures has cooperated with the TV Art Center of the Political Department of the Jinling Military Region, so it is not too difficult to cooperate again. And through them, you can also get in touch with the Haizheng Television Art Center.
Without the support of the maritime administration, there is no need to think about the super explosive "Operation Red Sea"! Director Lin Chaomi was very emotional after filming, commanding six warships, Alzheimer's can't forget it!
Song Ge had to do these outreach work, and at the same time, he had to take the script of "Male Soldier Company" to the leaders for review. Although the background in the film is the future world, it involves the Chinese military after all.
After the news of the filming of "Company of Heroes" spread, it caused both joy and sorrow among "League of Legends" players, and they were happy that they all knew that this was a big movie adapted from the game.
The director should not be looking for traffic stars to play "Cao Cong Lun", "Chrysanthemum Letter" and "Four Elder Brothers"! That will be very cheating!
