Chapter Seventy-Eight: Returning to the Crew (1/8)
After Venice won the award that day, Shen Ming said, 'I will announce my schedule in the future, I hope that a new director can find me, as long as I like the script, I will star for free'...
Then, there are really a lot of new directors who come to the door with scripts...
I hope to be favored by Shen Ming...
Turn over and be a big guy all of a sudden.
At this point, the best thing to do is actually Yao Dazui, isn't there all kinds of complaints on the Internet that Mesozoic actresses don't have opportunities, she creates opportunities by herself, excavates new directors, stars for free, and invests by the way.
"Send Me to Qingyun", she served as the producer, producer and starring!
Compared to some self-pity, her approach is much more advanced!
I don't believe that if the Mesozoic actresses are willing to play with low or zero pay, which new director will refuse.
Don't always complain that no one has hired you, give young directors some opportunities, use your status and connections to support some talented newcomers, and they will definitely be willing to tailor the right script for you.
Take advantage of the cheap, don't take the responsibility, wait to eat ready-made...
How can there be so many good things?
Are you a child of destiny?
A new director can have the opportunity to direct a big star's play, which is a guarantee for his future.
For example, director Ding Sheng, he slowly entered the mainstream film circle through Jackie Chan's "Big Soldier"...
In fact, many of our new directors have no shortage of opportunities for training if they are from professional colleges.
They have their own network of contacts, potential, and talent will also be recommended by mentors.
What I'm most afraid of is the type of person who is halfway out of the house and thinks that he is a genius, but unfortunately he doesn't meet the talent...
They're frantically looking for opportunities.
In recent years, the mainland film industry has developed wildly, which has also brought opportunities for many new directors.
There are at least 100 youth film festivals in China, some of which are for subsidies for political axes, and some are really for independent films...
In this case, many young people with feelings and self-expression tendencies will really run film festivals all over the country, especially the Xining Frist Film Festival, Beijing Youth Film Festival, China International Youth Film Festival, Hangzhou Youth Film Festival...
You are talented and will be discovered!
Under layers of screening, there are few scripts that can be invested in Minghui Studio.
The person in charge of the studio is called Dante, and he used to be with Yang Xin, and he has a very good vision.
Out of thousands of books, he picked three books.
"Sherlock on the Plains", as well as "The Boy and the Sea" and a book "Not Romantic" specially issued to Shen Ming...
The first two are both newcomers' scripts, and "Not Romantic" is director Chen Yu's latest screenwriter's work after "The History of the Disappearance of Romantic".
"Sherlock on the Plains" belongs to a bean-style British comedy, absurd and self-justifying, the screenwriter and director is called Xu Lei, born in the 90s, a newcomer;
The screenwriter of "Youth and the Sea" is Sun Aoqian, this work is a pure new wave, the reason why Dante chose this is because it is cheap, and it is possible to win awards, many film festivals just like this tone...
Anyway, "Sherlock on the Plains" has an investment of up to 3 million, and maybe a few acting schools can be invited to participate, and "The Youth and the Sea" can be done for about 1 million...
As for "Not Romantic"...
Shen Ming didn't respond to him, he was still thinking about it, with Chen Bait's urine, he couldn't get an investment of 100 million!
Therefore, Shen Ming now needs an experienced senior in the circle to guide him well...
Originally, Kominsky could have served this function, but alas, the old guy has been dormant lately...
……
After the "The Wandering Earth" project was decided, the first actor invited to play was actually Li Guangjie...
He refused at first, and offered a price of 20 million...
Of course, this salary is not in line with his worth.
A 75-85 centrist actor like him is not well-known, but he has a solid foundation and his strength is passable, and the average movie salary is about 2 million...
In most cases, if an actor offers a super high price, it means that he is not interested in the project!
Of course, if the producer agrees, then the fool will come to make money!
If you don't make money, stupid you?
If you are really interested in the project, they will lower their salary to join, because they are worried that their salary will affect the integrity of the work...
And then what?
was persuaded by Guo Fan...
Every director is a natural orator!
Then, his salary was 800,000 ...
In fact, Li Guangjie's first work was "Towards the Republic", he played Guangxu, and in the whole "Towards the Republic", except for him, the other actors are all old actors!
Isn't this starting point awesome?
It's not worse than Brother Chao's "Young Son of Heaven"!
Of course, many people say that he is a scumbag, eats soft rice, and acted in "Lichun"...
How to say it, Gu Changwei, the director of "Lichun", and Zhang Li, the Bole of Li Guangjie, are classmates, maybe he was recommended by Zhang Li!
Forget it, don't wash it ...
Scumbag is for sure!
Why specifically mention him?
Because today is filming his final scene, not only him, but also Uncle Da!
……
Actors have their own standards in their hearts!
Especially comedians, when they reach a certain age, they really don't want to be grandiose anymore...
But sometimes for the sake of money, or for the sake of repaying favors, there is no way.
Uncle Da is like this, during the interval of "The Wandering Earth", he also went to make a cameo appearance in "The Laughter of the New Oolong Courtyard", and piggybacked on several online movies "Crazy Bull", "The Return of the True and False Monkey King"...
Make money to support your family, don't be ashamed!
He attaches great importance to "The Wandering Earth", and he has invested 2 million...
The role of Han Ziang supported the plot in the early stage.
Without his existence, the plot will be very dry, making people feel that Liu Qi is a completely incomprehensible teenager, but when he joins Han Ziang, there is a family line!
With him, many actors will also feel at ease...
The old-timers have worked so hard, what right do we have not to work hard?
"Director, I don't think the character should die so simply, in order to show the character's attachment to his hometown, he should take off his helmet before dying, because he wants to see his hometown more clearly and breathe in the air of his hometown. ”
"I think it would be better to add 'I'm familiar with this building, I built it!' before entering this building!"
Before the official start of filming, Uncle Da was discussing Han Ziang's death with Guo Fan and the screenwriters...
Han Ziang will definitely have to be sacrificed, no matter what type of movie it is, as long as it is a commercial film with a large investment, it will definitely have to play a wave of heart, how can you be heart-to-heart?
Let a character who has nothing to do with the big plot but is very likable to die!
Han Ziang plays such a role!
"Okay, then let's start filming, Uncle Da, are you okay?"
"No problem, I'm fine!"
This plot has to hang Weiya again...
Uncle Da himself said that there was no problem, but the on-site staff was afraid, and Guo Fan was also afraid, in case something happened, who would be responsible?
