On October 20th, "Painted Skin" was still harvesting the box office at a rate of two or three million per day, and it has maintained a very stable situation after the holiday, and there has been no big dive because of the news of Tang An's new film.

And all kinds of news about "China Partner" also continue to appear in the news.

All kinds of insider stories and revelations are the same as the truth.

On the crew's side, the location team and the people sent out by Chen Guochang traveled all over these industrial cities in the north, and they all came back today.

In Tang An's office, Chen Guochang came in with a large stack of photos.

"Mr. Chen, I'm bothering you this time. ”

Tang An got up and beckoned him to sit down, and asked the secretary to make two cups of tea and come in.

"Good tea, authentic Guanyin King, I didn't expect Mr. Tang to be so good. ”

Chen Guozhang took a sip and praised.

Tang An waved his hand and smiled, "I just drink it to relieve fatigue, and I can't tell what is good or bad, at most, I can taste the difference between black tea and green tea, which is given by friends." ”

"Now the frozen top oolong on the treasure island should start picking, and I will ask someone to bring some over next month and give Mr. Tang a taste. ”

After chatting for a while, we got down to business.

Chen Guozhang took out some photos from his briefcase, as well as some drawings.

"I probably chose some places for the exterior of the crew, as well as the concept drawings drawn by the artists according to the script, Mr. Tang took a look and looked for anything inappropriate. ”

"Thank you, Mr. Chen. ”

Tang An thanked him when he arrived, and took the photo and looked at it first.

As soon as he saw it, Tang An knew that this was by no means a building that belonged to this era, and the breath of the eighties and nineties was blowing in his face.

Tall brick houses, heavy machinery, iron-framed floor-to-ceiling windows, mottled log tables and chairs......

Everything is so fitting in the ideal location.

Chen Guochang also explained the location and characteristics of each photo.

"The location team of the university campus visited many schools, including some abandoned campuses, and finally I felt that Jibei University of Technology was the most suitable for the requirements. ”

"This school has been established for more than 100 years, and the building looks very good in the eighties and nineties, and it is large enough, with more than 4,000 acres. ”

"What's more, this is a 211 university, the atmosphere inside is very good, I have already negotiated with the school, and when the time comes, I can find students from the school to make cameo appearances, all of them are students from key universities, and their temperament is in line. ”

"Mr. Chen is very thoughtful. ”

There's nothing better than performing in your true colors, and if you change to a pheasant school, the students' mental outlook will be different.

Walking posture, pace, laughing with classmates... And so on, these details are very important.

Tang An wants to show the audience the positive face of Beijing students in the 80s, which is the highest university in China, where there is the best learning atmosphere and the best students.

Even a timid, cowardly, and inferior person like Cheng Dongqing can slowly build confidence in that environment and refresh his mental outlook.

It is not an exaggeration to describe them as the pride of the sky.

What he wants is not a group of people who sleep until lunchtime every day and don't get up until lunchtime, sleepy eyes all day long, their eyes are blank, and the whole person's mental temperament is completely different.

"The university auditorium is located in the Second Cultural Palace of Tianjing City, which is the largest comprehensive garden workers' cultural palace in Tianjing, in Hedong District. ”

"In the early classroom of New Dream, the abandoned factory building is also in Hedong District, which is the original No. 3 National Cotton Factory, which is ventilated on all sides, the windows are gone, and the walls are also very dilapidated. ”

"There is also that KFC, in Gaobei City, northern Hebei, there are two KFC in that city, and the one in the old city is selected, and the nearby buildings are also some years old. ”

"The gymnasium where I gave the speech was in the Tianjing Gymnasium, but it was some distance from Hedong District. ”

"There are also Fifth Avenue in New York, Times Square, and Columbia University, where Meng Xiaojun works, ......"

Chen Guozhang explained the locations one by one.

"They are all concentrated in the two cities of northern Hebei and Tianjing, and they are not far apart, so Mr. Chen is really troubled!"

There is a professional production department, and a professional producer can do a good job of logistics and preparation, at least half of the director's effort can be saved.

The locations are quite concentrated, so you don't have to run around, which can save a lot of money on travel and employee wages.

Chen Guochang smiled and said, "Isn't this what I do, in fact, except for KFC, all other places are in Tianjing City." ”

"North Hebei University of Technology is not in northern Hebei, it is in Tianjing City, there are two campuses, and this one in the photo is in Hongqiao Campus, next door to Hedong District. ”

"And there is a city between Gaobei City and Tianjing, how far away. ”

What a good producer, I can't find three more professional producers and producers in the country than Chen Guozhang.

And he is also a good director, who knows enough about movies to know what is the most suitable film.

Tang An is also very satisfied with the concept picture of the set after that, Ye Jintian is the top art director, so there is no need to worry about this, just ask to be as in line with the characteristics of the times as possible.

At noon, I invited Chen Guozhang to have a meal to express his heart.

The next day, Tang An took Xu Yanyun to Huayi to talk about investment.

The cost of this drama is not high, and the production cost of the preliminary calculation is not even 30 million.

The salary of the three male protagonists is 9 million together, and Lu Yi wants less. Deng Chao, like Wang Xiaoming, took care of Wang Xiaoming, which is also what Wang Zhongjun said to Tang An in private, balance it out.

The heroine Du Wei also talked about it, 500,000.

In a few minutes of scenes, it is a lot to get 500,000 yuan, and in recent years, the modeling circle, the TV circle, and the singing industry have all crowded into the film industry, even if it is 200,000, she will not refuse.

It's good to be able to talk about it smoothly, Du Wei can be said to be the only role with weight in addition to the three male protagonists.

The film has three male protagonists, and for the sake of rhythm and narrative structure, it is destined not to create more supporting characters.

Think about it carefully, in the whole play, except for these four characters, there is no character who has a little more scenes.

Even Du Xian's lines are pitiful, only a few sentences.

There are no lines, but it is more in line with the character characteristics of the character.

The women of the three male protagonists have few appearances and few lines, otherwise it is easy to become a bloody romance if it is not well controlled.

Three couples fall in love, get acquainted, know each other, fall in love with each other until they break up, and this half of the space has passed, so what is the entrepreneurship and brotherhood, which can only be weakened.

Although Du Wei's facial features do not conform to the aesthetics of the Chinese people, there is one thing that others cannot compare.

After looking at it twice, it is hard to forget that there are not many actresses in the entertainment industry who can do this.

Cold, stunning, hard to forget, that's enough.

It's also a standard ex-girlfriend trait.

"Chinese Partner", "Hong Kong Embarrassment", "The Ferryman", "New York, New York", "Passing by Your World", he has starred in 7 movies, 5 of which are "ex-girlfriends".

The ex-girlfriend is a professional household, not without reason.

In addition, the publicity cost is expected to be 20 million, and there should be no guy who is not long-sighted in the summer next year who dares to face Tang An, after all, even "Red Cliff" has lost.

The cost of 50 million is a little higher than that of "Horror Cruise", and it is the lowest investment of Tang An's films in recent years.

The investment is low, and the final profit is greater, but the overseas copyright is estimated to be unsold, which is a bit of a pity.

And with such a low investment, the share of director Tang An's salary in exchange is bound to increase significantly.

After all, with his current results, it is not too much to get a salary of 20 million.

When Cheng Long and Li Lianjie have a super appeal overseas, 100 million is not a problem.
