Chapter 420 Super fast movie preparation

Since he was determined to make a movie to send Yu Jing and his newborn child, Peng Yichen would not delay any longer.

That night, he wrote the script for the movie that had been haunting his mind for years.

The next morning, it took him four hours to draw all the storyboards needed for the film.

This is really not a movie with a complicated plot, its biggest highlight is a mysterious and cool superpower setting, and the kind of warm discussion of pure love and family, responsibility, and children behind the story.

This is the story of how a boy becomes a real man, and it is about love, children, family, and responsibility.

That's all the reason why Peng Yichen loves this movie so much.

If you want to divide this movie into a genre, Peng Yichen feels that it should be regarded as a comedy romance movie with some fantasy elements.

Now that the script and storyboard have all been completed, the next step is to officially set up the project, form a crew, and find actors to shoot.

It's not difficult for movies to want ideals.

After all, Peng Yichen has his own film company, and he is also the major shareholder of Times Huana.

And the investment budget for this movie is only about 10 million Chinese dollars.

Therefore, as long as he wants to make it, he can make this movie.

As for the actors who formed the crew, it was difficult for him.

Even if he adapted this movie into a story: in the background of the Star Flag Country, it takes place in a Chinese family in the Star Flag Country.

But with his experience in making two co-productions of Star Flag Country and Huaxia.

How to coordinate the staff of the Star Flag Country and the staff of Huaxia and work in the same crew is not too difficult for him.

Well, the only question left is to find the right actor for the film.

Although comedy romance movies often don't require much superb acting.

But there are also some unique requirements and restrictions for actors in this type of movie.

After all, not everyone is suitable for being a comedian, and it is difficult to find an extremely negative and dark perverted character in a romantic movie.

Some actors can make the audience laugh as soon as they appear on camera, and some actors can feel warm or romantic when the audience looks like it.

This is what comedy romance movies require of a character.

In this comedy and romance movie that Peng Yichen wants to shoot, the starring roles are, of course, him and Yu Jing.

But the hero's family, the heroine's friends, and the hero's first love, these are all very important characters.

Among them, the hero's father, sister and first love are the three most important characters.

For the role of father, of course, Peng Yichen chose Zhao Jianguo, who is also his teacher and friend, to play the role.

As for the role of his sister, he chose the little girl he had worked with in "Beautiful Life".

The little girl who often asks him about his acting skills - Li Qian.

As for the protagonist's first love, he chose the same actor as in the movie in his previous life.

Margot Robbie, born on July 2, 1990 in Dolby, Queensland, Australia, has always been known for her sensuality and beauty.

She grew up in a single-parent family, her mother was a physiotherapist, and she raised four children on her own, Margot was the third, and she was accompanied by her older brother, older sister, younger brother and two cows.

Margot helped work on her grandparents' farm from an early age, working three jobs at the same time at the age of 16. As a girl who lived on the Gold Coast as a girl, she enjoyed surfing and rock climbing, and later played as a right winger on an amateur ice hockey team.

In short, this is a "female man" who is not willing to be a vase, even though she is a very beautiful "female man".

With her unremitting efforts, Margot Robbie has finally become an actress with good acting skills.

On Earth in Peng Yichen's previous life, she was nominated for Best Actress at the 90th Academy Awards in 2018 for a "I, Queen of Flowers".

Therefore, this actress's appearance and acting skills are enough to support this role.

"What about the other supporting characters?" Peng Yichen continued to think.

In a good comedy romance movie, there will always be a lot of interesting characters.

For example, in this movie, the landlord who rents a house for the male protagonist, a few good friends of the male protagonist, and the heroine's best friend

Just thinking about this, the mobile phone on the desk suddenly rang, Peng Yichen picked it up and saw that it was an unfamiliar number, and he answered the channel a little puzzled: "Hello." ”

"Hello, Mr. Peng. A strange man's voice came from there, and he said, "I'm Robor Friedman, CEO of Summit Entertainment. I wonder if you have time to talk about it now?"

Hearing a call from the boss of Summit Entertainment, Peng Yichen put down the notebook that recorded the cast in his hand, and said into the microphone with a smile: "I'm sorry, I haven't contacted you for so long." I'm so busy here. ”

Indeed, although the two sides have confirmed that they want to cooperate in making a movie, Peng Yichen himself has never contacted or met with anyone from Summit Entertainment.

The cooperation between the two sides is basically through Robinov, and Sun Yizou negotiates with the other party.

Peng Yichen just put forward his own conditions, and left other things to others to deal with.

Robber Friedman smiled slightly, as if he didn't mind this, and said, "I know your difficulties, 'The Country Teacher' is a big project that requires more effort, which I can understand." But Mr. Peng, I've heard that you're going to make another film before you can make this film with us. ”

"Oh, I'm sorry, it is, because you know, my wife is pregnant, and I want to be able to give her and the baby a gift. But don't worry, it won't delay the co-production between us......" Peng Yichen explained with some apologies.

After all, Dingfeng has been cooperating with himself since last year, and the sincerity of others' cooperation is also very strong.

"No, no, I'm sure you won't delay our cooperation. I just wanted to ask if this film for your wife and future children can be co-produced by our Summit Entertainment and your Chenjing Film Company. Robber Friedman's hearty smile came from the other end of the phone.

Peng Yichen thought about it for a while, and refused with a smile: "I'm sorry, you know that my movie is relatively private. I don't want to mix it up with too much commercial stuff. So I'm going to make this film as a sole proprietor. ”

"So, what about us acting for the North American distribution of this film? You see, we're going to make a movie together. You can use the same distribution plan for both films, which will reduce the cost of publicity!" Rober Friedman still insists.

Peng Yichen thought for a while and said with a smile: "Why didn't I know that my movie was so popular?

Robber Friedman smiled lightly across the street: "A lot of times, investing is often before it happens, and if success is imminent, the opportunity to invest is often gone. ”

Peng Yichen nodded and replied, "Okay, you convinced me." I promised to give the North American distribution rights for the film to Summit Entertainment. But it can only be a sharing agreement, and Summit Entertainment will share 3% of the North American box office revenue, and it needs to bear all the publicity and distribution costs of the film in North America. ”

"Okay, I agreed to this condition. Robber Friedman didn't hesitate at all, and said yes in one bite.

It's like Peng Yichen's reason that he is willing to hand over the movie to them for distribution, rather than giving Hua Na a reason.

Friedman has to cooperate with Peng Yichen, and he is also expanding his contacts and channels that he may use in the future.

After all, in the film market, it is very dangerous to always rely on one way to go dark.

People always have to leave a few ways for themselves.

……

Two days later, the film officially opened up a space in the film project library of Chen Jing Film Company.

The film invested 15 million Chinese dollars.

The filming location is mainly in a seaside town in California, as well as in downtown Los Angeles.

The crew members of the film are composed of the staff of Chen Jing Film Company.

In addition to most of the Huaxia staff, there are also many staff recruited from Hollywood in the past two years.

As for the actors, they are basically all in place.

Except for Zhao Jianguo, the actor of his father, who was temporarily replaced by Jin Shijie, a powerful old actor on Bay Island, because of scheduling reasons, the other actors are basically the same as Peng Yichen expected before.

After another 5 days or so, all the crew and actors rushed to California in the Star Flag Country.

Peng Yichen hired a group of extras from the Star Flag Country in Los Angeles to be responsible for playing tricks and acting as background walls in the play.

Subsequently, the film was officially launched in California in a low-key manner.

And Peng Yi's fans are still waiting for the release of "The Country Teacher", but they don't know that he has a new film, and he has started filming quietly.
