Chapter 80: New Drama Project Initiation
The so-called "inseparable" means that people who are estranged from each other cannot be involved in things that are close to people, otherwise it is likely that you will not be a person inside and out.
In June of 11, the bodyguard has been married and has children, and has also signed in Huayi for several years. Yes, Lu Lin would definitely not say anything to him, and he would be careful of being cheated by someone close to him.
The exchange is shallow and deep, and the rivers and lakes are taboo. If one day the relationship is good enough to a certain extent, maybe he will say "point break", but at this moment, he will never talk about it.
The two of them went out of the Shanghai Grand Theater and found a place to eat at random. At the beginning, the bodyguard thought that Lu Lin was going to ask him to act, but after a few words of conversation, he realized that he was really just chatting casually. But he didn't show his disappointment, but complimented him from time to time, and his posture was very low.
Lu Lin really had the intention of recruiting bodyguards at first, but then he thought about it, he relied on Director Feng to support him, and signed with Huayi, I am afraid that it is not easy to solicit, and the company currently has no suitable film and television resources for him. Just chatted casually, saying that he was optimistic about the development of the bodyguard, and there was an opportunity to cooperate in the future.
Leaving Shanghai and returning to Yanjing, Lu Lin entered the work state again, so let's participate in fewer activities or something, one is more boring than the other.
The first job, of course, is the shooting plan for the next film. After discussing it with Song Ge a few more times, he said that it was too difficult to adapt a novel into a movie, and it was suggested that it be slowed down. If it is a TV series, because the novel can be highly restored in terms of plot, the project can be established as soon as possible.
Although movies and TV series are both film and television dramas, they are very different in terms of creative requirements. Movies require new ideas, and TV series are not afraid of old routines.
Spending money to go to the theater to watch a movie, the audience latent in their hearts wants to see some novel and different stories. This is not the case with TV series, even if the plot has been watched many times, as long as the story is good enough, there are still audiences who like to watch it. You can even follow the original script and change a group of actors to make another version.
For example, "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", there have been six versions before. But as soon as the 17th version was launched, it still became a hit with many details such as the ultra-high restoration of the original work, a large number of real-life shooting, smooth martial arts action, and character modeling that conformed to the aesthetics of the times.
So in terms of adapting novels, the difficulty of changing them into movies and TV series is really a world of difference.
Lu Lin can naturally realize this, and it can be said that as long as the scenes in the classic online novels that are too bloody, killing and other scenes that do not meet the requirements of optoelectronics are changed. Find a group of suitable actors, and match them with his invincible special effects, that is, lie down to win.
Movies, on the other hand, must be changed to a story that is both innovative and reasonable. For example, the passage of "Havoc in the Heavenly Palace" in "Journey to the West", with Lu Lin's special effects, as long as he shoots according to the original book, the special effects are assured to be bold and good, and there is absolutely no problem with a visual blockbuster with a qualified story.
But because the plot theme is not new, it is difficult to say in terms of word-of-mouth, and it is likely to be rated as a "mediocre work".
In view of the fact that there is no suitable movie script yet, Lu Lin thought for a while and decided to open two TV series "Flower Thousand Bone" and "Breaking the Sky" first.
As for the TV script of "Flower Thousand Bone", he remembered that in his previous life, it seemed to be written by the author of a novel. This is simple, contact to open a suitable price, and the convenience is readily accepted.
And "Breaking the Sky" can't count on the great god author, fortunately, the adaptation of the TV script is far less difficult than the movie, and the original party prefers to see TV works that are highly restored to the novel. Of course, some oversized plots need to be revised.
Because most of the well-known screenwriters in the industry are older, I am afraid that they will not be able to understand the world of "Breaking the Sky", let alone the adaptation.
Song Ge also suggested that there is no need to find any well-known screenwriters, just invite a few young screenwriters who are not very old and slightly famous, plus these positions raised by the company, it should not be difficult to change a qualified TV script.
Lu Lin thought about it and felt that with him as a gatekeeper, his script couldn't have thunderous lines like "My grandfather was killed by a devil when he was nine years old" and "Eight hundred miles away, kill a devil's machine gunner with one shot", so he agreed to Song Ge's suggestion.
At this point, the next stage of Longlin Film and Television's work goal has been officially determined, which is to produce the TV series "Flower Thousand Bone" and "Breaking the Sky".
TV series are the best weapon for actor fans and popularity, like Gong Li and Zhang Ziyi, actors who make movies and don't act in TV series when they debut, are definitely rare in the entertainment industry.
"Flower Thousand Bone" and "Breaking the Sky" have good prospects, so naturally there is no reason to praise other artists. After discussing with Song Ge, Lu Lin decided to use a newcomer as the starring role, and then invite some old actors to play.
The scripts for the two TV series are still being written, but the casting process has already begun quietly.
Needless to say, Hua Qiangu is Yingbao's. The candidates for Bai Zihua's painting have to be carefully picked, and it is best to find someone who has acting skills and is not well-known and can sign in to Longlin.
As for "Breaking the Sky", according to Lu Lin's idea, the first season will be filmed first, and the plot will end until the end of the Yunlan Sect War, and then consider whether there is a second season.
In terms of actors, Long Lin had no reserves at all, so he decided to openly recruit for auditions.
As for investment, "Flower Thousand Bone" is 80 million, and "Breaking the Sky" is tentatively set at 150 million. Song Ge was really shocked when he heard this, although Longlin Pictures is now known as wealthy, it is not this trick!
The investment of 200 million yuan in the two TV series, plus the investment in "Ten Cold", will take out more than 300 million yuan for the production of film and television dramas alone, which is too risky.
However, Lu Lin insisted again and again, and the two quarreled for a few days, and Song Ge finally compromised. At this point, Longlin Film and Television officially announced to the outside world that it will spend 200 million three to shoot two big dramas.
As soon as the news spread, it instantly caused a shock in the industry. Yu Dong of Bo Na even called over immediately and tactfully persuaded him that it was too risky to open two big dramas at the same time, and suggested that he be steady.
I almost didn't say it directly: Don't you make money on "The Return of the Great Sage", and you don't know where to spend the money? It's really not good to buy a mansion, a sports car, or a female star, it's better than being so aggressive!
Lu Lin has a "special effect" backing, but this reason is not enough to tell outsiders, only that he knows it in his heart, and Xie Yu always cares.
As for the people from other companies, they have a "killing and killing" tone, and they are Director Lu who is "awesome" and "mighty and domineering", let's see if we can take care of our company's artists and let them audition or something!
The two dramas that Long Lin is about to produce, the original work of "Flower Thousand Bone" is not well-known at the moment, and "Breaking the Sky" is famous, and it is the "god work" of potatoes, with countless fans.
And Lu Lin announced that it would cost 150 million, which immediately excited countless fans, and also called countless male artists to focus on the role of Xiao Yan.
