The movie channel is really good!

Especially for young directors.

In the Internet era, movie channels have become the main support platform for low-cost films such as rural films, children's films, urban migrant films, and Water Margin martial arts films.

However, if you want to sell to a movie channel, you must first get the Dragon Mark, that is, the public screening license, so it is still the process rules within the system.

The movie channel provides a platform and opportunity for young directors to grow up, although its role is not as good as that of the later online video platform!

Big online movies don't need a public release license!

It's really anyone's ability to shoot...

If you have the ability, you can get money!

"The Taoist Goes Out of the Mountain" earns more than "The Taoist Goes Down the Mountain"...

"Darts in the World" is a high-quality TV movie series launched by the movie channel.

In fact, the movie Pingdao not only pushes series, but also unit dramas, "Ten Thousand Arrows Through the Heart" and "Camel Guest" are unit dramas produced by the movie channel, which are also released in theaters.

"The Legend of Lu Xiaofeng" series, "Dart in the World" series, "Yang Men Female General" series, "Water Margin Characters" series, and political tasks: "Famous Generals of the Republic" series...

Among them, "Darts in the World" and "The Legend of Lu Xiaofeng" are very good!

In the original time and space, Zhang Junsheng chased these dramas, and by the way, he also had Amway on his official account.

The official account also needs to be forced!

It's not easy to find a few movies that everyone thinks are okay, but not very famous, and TV movies are a good choice!

The plot of "Dart in the World" is very simple, it is a simple dart!

Very good, martial arts should be like this!

The plot does not drag on, and there is no place for the hero and heroine to be tired of life, which is very in line with the temperament of "darts" and is neat...

If you increase a little investment, invite a few professional actors, it may not be impossible to make a cinema movie with good quality, not to make a big profit, each can sell for 8 million, as long as the brand can be made, you can shoot unlimited in the future!

The key is that the production cost of "Dart in the World" really doesn't have to be too high, and it doesn't cost much to hire a few slightly famous actors!

In the original version, only a famous actor like Mr. Jiang Dawei pressed the scene.

It is said that Mr. Jiang Dawei's salary for filming "Dart in the World" is only 100,000 yuan, which is a friendship price in the absolute sense, why is he willing to act?

The old gentleman has filmed martial arts dramas all his life, and it is true love!

"In that world, you can do a lot of things that you can't usually do, and you have a chivalrous spirit!"

This is also the reason why the old gentleman took over the filming of "The Moon Knife at the End of the World"...

He was 65 years old at the time...

……

Zhang Junsheng is about to become a dog!

He originally thought that on-site shooting was already difficult, too naïve, and post-production was really grinding!

Filming is only the initial completion of film creation

In the later stage, it also needs to be edited, dubbed, retouched, and color graded frame by frame, and then slowly take shape.

For a mature film, the shooting work is only the first half of the whole film process, which belongs to a part of the industrial process.

Editing is to reorder and select the director's shooting materials, and refine the creation for sublimation, so editing is a very important part of the entire film creation. It is not an exaggeration to call it the third creation of the film. It is on the same level as scripts and filming.

A decent film, edited by a skilled editor, can become full of ups and downs and fascinating. Conversely, a good movie can be ruined by a bad editor.

"A Chinese Ghost Story" is, of course, filmed and cut.

Most films use this method, where the editor "organizes" the content of the film while the shooting is in progress.

The content of the day's shoot was first evaluated overnight by the executive director and director of photography to ensure continuity in the content of the film and to review whether all the planned scenes were included.

The rough cutting process is to edit the content of the shooting in the order of the scenes.

The original version of "A Chinese Ghost Story" was jointly completed by the New Art City Editing Team, the New Art City Editing Team, the dreamy name...

It's a pity...

There are also many gold medal editors in the mainland, and Zhang Junsheng invited Mr. Du Yuan.

Du Yuan belongs to the backbone of the mainland editing circle, and she is the editor and director of "Qiu Ju's Lawsuit and National Division", "If You Have Something to Say", and "Alive".

In later generations, all of Ning Hao's film editing and directing were her!

In addition, "Charlotte's Troubles" and "Ghost Blowing the Lantern: Looking for the Dragon" were also edited by her.

She is very good at commercial film editing, and these days, there are not many editors who are good at commercial films.

Therefore, Zhang Junsheng is very willing to believe that she can cut out the essence of "A Chinese Ghost Story"!

The core of "A Chinese Ghost Story" is very simple, packaging a modern love story with classical gods and ghosts...

Also, each character has a unique charm.

Take the opening scene of the movie as an example, Ning Caichen hides from the rain and encounters Xiahou swordsman who kills the thief who steals money, killing people like slaughtering dogs;

This is the chivalrous spirit of a swordsman.

And Ning Caichen was taken by the swordsman's domineering, took a bite of the steamed bun, and as soon as the swordsman left, he immediately spit it out, ignoring his hunger.

This is the arrogance of a scholar.

……

"Lao Xie, these skeletons are doing well, they have the flavor of "Pirates of the Caribbean", how much did it cost?"

In the post-editing, of course, the special effects department will also join, looking at the few skeletons moving on the screen, Zhang Junsheng is very satisfied.

Compared to the era of Xu Laowei, the current special effects have not improved too much - provided that you are willing to spend money and take the time!

“… 15 million!"

“… 15 million to make these skeletons?"

"It's a three-dimensional special effect, which requires modeling, materials, animation, lighting, rendering compositing, and several aspects, which is very difficult to do!"

There is a misconception that most people think that the large-scale special effects of "Independence Day" cost a little more, but in fact, it is not.

It's really hard to do the alien talent in "ET"!

The more refined, the more referential, the more time it takes...

“…”

"And our company has a total of more than 800 employees, and the shared labor cost is very high..."

“… How much did you spend on the entire project of "A Chinese Ghost Story"?"

"Around 40 million..."

Million?

In Zhang Junsheng's view, as long as the production budget of "A Chinese Ghost Story" can be controlled below 70 million, it will be considered a success!

The filming costs and actors' costs have been paid, less than 25 million.

Calculated in this way, "A Chinese Ghost Story" seems to have been completed for 65 million?

If you think about it too much, there is also investment in publicity and marketing!

The people who are activated are basically newcomers, and it is necessary to put more effort into publicity!

He is preparing to release the theme song of the same name of "A Chinese Ghost Story" in August, and the singer is himself, this is the first wave of publicity, and then some scandal news between him and Xu Yan will be released...

Speculating on CP is always a timeless and trouble-free way to advertise!

"In life, dreams are like a long road

Let the wind and frost remain on the face

In the red dust, how many directions are there for sweet dreams

Looking for a dreamy beloved, the road is boundless..."

The theme song "A Chinese Ghost Story" created by Huang Zhan and sung by his brother has a long meaning.

It belongs to the kind of thing that I think it sounds good when I hear it, listen carefully,, Divine Comedy!

Zhang Junsheng can't sing the taste of the original version, but he has a clean voice and a good mid-bass part.

In contrast, there is a different flavor...

has been busy until the end of July, the later stage of "A Chinese Ghost Story" is almost done, and there is still a little follow-up special effects rendering, which can only stay up for time, and it is estimated that in September, it can be completed in full.

Zhang Junsheng cut a version of the trailer, first sent it to the person in charge of Universal, and then uploaded it online.
