Chapter 51: "Horror Cruise"
"You're going to shoot on a large ship?"
After hearing Tang An's intention, Han Sanping frowned.
"Passenger ship or freighter?"
"It's best to be a passenger ship, but I only shoot the outside and a few layers of plywood, and the scenes inside will be completed in the studio, and it will take about a week to rent a boat temporarily!" Tang An said quickly.
"How big does it take?"
"Generally, you can go on an ocean cruise, there are no special requirements!"
"Do you want to go to sea or shoot on the shore?" Han Sanping asked again.
"There's a big panorama that needs to leave the port, and the rest just don't get too close to the shore!"
Han Sanping nodded, this kind of ocean-going ship is not something that can be driven out casually, it must be reported to the marine police and maritime departments in advance, and it will be very troublesome if it stops outside the port for a week.
"That's it, I'll help you take a look at the cruise, but you must not sail out of the port, if you have a full shot, you can wait for a little time to shoot when you go to sea, and then you can hurry up!" Han Sanping thought for a while and said.
"Thank you, Han Dong!" Tang An hurriedly thanked him.
This is already very good, otherwise he would have to go to the shipping company to rent a river steamer, which is about the same size as in the original movie.
"Director Tang's script is finished?" After talking about the ship, Han Sanping began to care about the film.
He is still optimistic about Tang An, young, capable, and making commercial films, which is enough for him to support.
At the same time, he is also very curious about what story Tang An, who has just made such a wonderful movie as "Shark Beach", can write this time!
"The script has been decided, and then it's time to form the script and make a storyboard script!" Tang An took out the script from his bag and handed it over, and by the way, he also gave Lin Sheng a copy.
"Then I'm going to see if the story is just as exciting this time!"
Han Sanping took the script with a smile, and the four words and four big characters on the cover made him interested.
"Horror Cruise"!
It's a horror suspense film again.
Han Sanping has no objection to Tang An's choice of theme, although he hopes that Tang An will come out with a costume blockbuster.
However, there are absolutely no more directors in China who are really capable of making costume blockbusters and shoot well, not even more than 5.
Xu Ke is filming "Seven Swords", Chen Kaige is filming "Wuji", and Tang Jili is filming "Myth".
Tomorrow, these three blockbusters, "Seven Swords" is a martial arts film, the type that Xu Ke is good at.
"Myth" is starring Cheng Long, and neither movie will be too bad.
Although Chen Kaige has never made a costume blockbuster, Han Sanping found him the top production team in China.
Cinematographer Pao Dexi, art director Yip Kam Tin, visual effects supervisor Zhong Zi... are all leaders in various industries, coupled with Chen Kaige's fame, "Wu Ji" is almost the most likely movie to challenge the box office record of "Hero" in recent years.
And Tang An, although Han Sanping is also optimistic about him, but after all, he is too young and inexperienced, and a big production is not so easy to shoot!
After reading the entire script, Han Sanping's brows slowly wrinkled.
More than twenty minutes later, he rewatched it again, still frowning.
"Similar to the style of "Memory Fragments"? It's not easy to make this kind of film, but it's even harder to sell out!"
As a senior filmmaker, Han Sanping and even the current domestic film market What kind of movies can make money.
This kind of brain-burning movie is tiring to watch, and it is more suitable for watching on TV and computer, and even if it is filmed, it is likely to be popular or not.
"It's still a little different, it's actually a reincarnation over and over again, although this kind of movie is not easy to sell well, but that's because it was labeled as brain-burning from the beginning, which is prohibitive!"
To be honest, movies like "Memory Fragments" have a really low audience, and they have taken 25 million yuan at the box office in North America.
"I don't know if Han Dong has paid attention to this title!" Tang An said, pointing to the four big characters on it.
"It's... Is this telling the audience that this is a horror movie?" Han Sanping understood after a little thought.
In comparison, although the audience of horror films is not as good as comedy and costume films, it is not small, and it is suitable for both men and women.
"That's right, just looking at this title, it should be a bloody and violent horror film, and there is no shortage of audiences for this kind of movie, and the success of "Shark Beach" is a good example!"
"As long as the audience is attracted to the cinema, the next thing is to see the quality of the film, and even if they find out that this is a brain-burning film, they will not regret it!" Tang An said confidently.
In fact, the conservative criticism of this film later is the title, many fans think that this is a classic movie that was delayed by the title.
Tang An has also considered this film for a long time, the summer file is not the kind of schedule that explodes for a period of time, the most important thing is to last, but if the reputation is not good, movies such as "Seven Swords", "Mr. and Mrs. Smith", and "Initial D" will not give him a chance, and if he falls behind at the beginning, it will be almost difficult to win back the scheduled films.
It is inevitable to make horror films, so as to maximize the use of the fame of "Shark Beach" before, this movie that looks like a horror film will not be bad on the first day, and after the word of mouth spreads, it can be rough and long-term, and compete with a few movies in the summer.
If you change to a low-cost comedy, the audience's first impression is suspicion, a horror film director suddenly goes to make a comedy, no matter how you think about it!
"Since you've decided, let's shoot according to your own ideas, and I'll let someone help you prepare for the crew's affairs!" Han Sanping said.
"Thank you, Mr. Han, then please!"
"However, pay attention to the scale and try not to have too bloody shots!"
"Avoid being too scary, there are a lot of students watching movies in the summer, pay attention to the impact!" Han Sanping advised.
"Don't worry, I'm measured!" Tang An nodded.
At this time, China is only very strict with ideology, and if you get it, you will die, there is no reason to talk about it, but Tang An will also make some changes to some shots that are too much!
......
The goal has been achieved, Tang An then said goodbye and left Zhongying.
He didn't say exactly what kind of employees he needed, but with the professionalism of China Film, he naturally wouldn't just pull a group of people over to him.
Photography, lighting, fine art... Everyone has a different style.
The cinematographer of the movie "Horror Cruise" must be good at shooting micro-expressions of characters, and then there must be a photographer who is good at full shots of characters.
If the gaffer pulls a perennial romance movie over and uses warm or even ambiguous tones throughout the film, it will ruin the whole movie.
After leaving China Film, Tang An took a taxi to the Capital International Airport, Xu Ruoyun's flight this afternoon.
The plane was not delayed, and after waiting at the exit for less than 10 minutes, I saw Xu Ruoyun pushing a suitcase and walking out, and when I saw Tang An waiting in the crowd, his eyes lit up, and he strode towards him.
"It's coming!"
Tang An reached out and took the suitcase in her hand.
"Is the handover over there?"
