Muzio, a 40-year-old director from Italy, has made several small-budget literary films before, and one of them, Dream Chaser, was nominated for the Venice Film Festival. (Nice marshmallows.)

Qin Fangge has watched all of his movies, and the script is a bit scummy, but it has also been filmed with some new ideas. This is also one of the reasons why he finally decided to find Muzio to be an assistant director, and if he wants to shoot here, there are so many foreign extras to manage, and it is very necessary to find a local director in the director team.

Previously, the Qin Fang opera team and Muzio had only passed by email and phone, and this official meeting was also prepared to be negotiated before the matter was settled. The legal department personnel who flew over from China had also arrived this afternoon, and now the scale of Qin Fangge's company is expanding day by day, and there are endless things to do every day. But the mood of the employees is not bad, and many employees are here for his big movie!

That's right, in terms of domestic film investment, the investment of 150 million yuan is definitely a lot! In China, it is common to spend 20 million or 30 million yuan to make a movie!

But if you want to shoot abroad, this amount of money is only about 20 million US dollars, which is a little shabby! If you want to invite a first-line movie star, you can get this price just for the salary, and make a fart movie!

But not every investor has the determination and courage of Qin Fangge, and there are many people waiting to see Qin Fangge's jokes, especially those who were originally engaged in the film industry.

"Movies are not so easy to make!" They naturally have a great sense of superiority, and now cats and dogs can be directors to make movies, which also makes many people unhappy!

It's just that the one who pays the money is the uncle, how many directors are begging grandpa to tell grandma, pulling investment everywhere, more people who dream of becoming directors, all kinds of opportunities to make movies, even if the salary is lower, they are willing to do it!

Qin Fangge announced that he was going to make a movie, and after publicity, it was even rendered that he was going to shoot abroad, and after the extraordinarily tall international film, many film practitioners gave up their discipline and bottom line, and sent their intention to cooperate with Daqin Company. Regardless of whether he loses in the end or not, the salaries of the crew must be indispensable, and it is unrealistic for him to make a movie alone, right?

And Qin Fangge invests by himself, and the director, screenwriter, producer, and producer are all shoulder-to-shoulder, and he also has his own considerations. The cast of this movie, he doesn't plan to find an actor who is too expensive, and he can't afford it! 900 and Max are both planning to find actors with good acting skills and low value.

In terms of domestic film and television stars, the biggest actor is Xu Xinyi, she brought her own investment into the crew, this is still Qin Fangge's face to see her and Xi Wanqing, and it can also ensure the authority of the film crew when filming. And although she said that she was the heroine, she really didn't have many scenes, so she just showed her face in it. For other domestic actors, it is enough to find group special and group performances!

It is mainly the performances of foreign actors, including group performances, and there are also the most foreign extras.

As for the crew members, Qin Fangge is planning to open five or five, which can be regarded as Sino-foreign cooperation!

It is actually best to visit Muzio in person when he has dinner with him, but Muzio also seems to know how to be flexible and know that the Chinese like to talk about things at the dinner table. Of course, he also knew Qin Fangge, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is a genius, in addition to showing unparalleled talent in music, he is not bad in other aspects, he has written a best-seller, cooperated with others to start a game company, and his own company, and has become a billionaire at a young age!

These materials are not difficult to check, and what makes Muzio most interesting is that Qin Fangge used the money he earned to invest in making movies, definitely out of confidence in himself, and filmed music movies. It's just that he can't even be considered a monk, but he obviously understands movies, and it is understandable that he is the director, and he is the only name with box office appeal in the whole film.

Muzio used to be a director with a dream, hoping to be a big director with a good reputation and box office, but unfortunately the reality is not satisfactory. Until now, there are also people looking for him to make movies, but he himself can't stand those scripts and investors, until Qin Fangge fell in love with him and asked him to be an assistant director.

Qin Fangge is also as rumored, he is always accompanied by beautiful beauties, this time it is better, there are four of them as soon as he appears. That's right, he took Xi Wanqing, Xu Jing, Xue Min, and He Ruyun to dinner together, and he was not afraid of affecting the image in Muzio's heart.

Muzio was indeed a little dumbfounded, but Qin Fangge greeted him in fluent Italian, and helped introduce these beauties with different styles, and even talked about their careers. Xue Min's editor-in-chief of fashion magazines, Xu Jing's costume designer, the costume props for this movie were basically handed over to her.

Muziodi was also a man who had seen the world, and although he couldn't help but be shocked, he quickly came to his senses and saluted them one by one. After last night's performance, Qin Fangge was reported by major media, and it was the time when he was in high spirits and proud of the spring breeze. Muzio also expressed regret, saying that he could not hear his powerful singing voice in person.

Qin Fangge replied with a smile, "If we can work together this time, there is an opportunity, I have to practice my voice every day, and it should be no exception when I make movies." ”

After greeting each other politely and flattering each other, they still talked about the movie while eating, and the script had been sent to Muzio before, which was also a necessary process, otherwise, people would not rashly agree to meet and cooperate or something.

The language in which the film was shot was English, which was not a problem for Muzio, after all, the mainstream language of the world. He also has a fairly high level of English, and most of his previous films have been English-speaking. He was also worried that the others would not be able to understand Italian and would not understand it well, so he switched to English.

In fact, it has been talked about before, and this time it is basically a routine, but there are still many details to be carefully discussed.

For example, Qin Fangge agreed that Muzio would choose acquaintances to join the crew and recruit extras, but he also had a lot of requirements, including as if he had stated in advance, that the Chinese and foreign personnel in the crew also required everyone to work together, and if the filming process was affected, there would also be a breach of contract.

This also reflects the foresight, since he occupied the title of director from the beginning, and looking for Muzio is only an assistant director, so there must not be so much power to give him. If he only wants to be an investor and producer, he has to go to great lengths to talk about the distribution of these rights, which is too troublesome.

Muzio also felt it early, Qin Fangge is not a small ambition, he will not say that he is like other directors who only have names, he really has something to shoot, but he and his own team can't do it alone.

It's not surprising to think about it, the script and music of the movie are all handled by him! It is not surprising to say that he has hills and valleys in his chest and bamboo in his chest!

After talking so much, in fact, Qin Fangge's meaning is also very clear, let Muzio, the assistant director, just take the money to shoot a good movie picture! He is not irreplaceable, this Muzio himself knows best, if Qin Fangge wants to find other assistant directors, it will definitely be a big deal!

Muzio didn't want to be tough and demanded that all the rights of the crew belong to him, but unfortunately this was unrealistic. Moreover, the most important point is that he is also very optimistic about this movie, and Qin Fangge pays a lot of money. Although Muzio is only an assistant director, his rights are not small, and the photography and lighting teams he has worked with before can be pulled over to work together again.

Qin Fangge also likes this, he needs an experienced assistant director and a team of camera and lighting. Others, such as art costumes and props, can be used by himself, and he plans to use this opportunity to enter related fields and build his own brand.

Xi Wanqing and Xu Jing both expressed strong support for this, and asked him to endorse others, it is difficult to have 10 million a year. After having its own brand, it is a steady stream of income. Unless the threshold is particularly high and difficult to enter, such as automobiles and watches, it is much easier to create brands such as jewelry and clothing, and the requirements for technical content are far less high than those industries.

And Qin Fangge left Muzio enough time to form the crew and the team to run in with each other, he plans to start filming in early July, but the filming time is not much, only two months. The more you do the prep work, the less time you will have to shoot.

Making a movie is a particularly huge project, Qin Fangge even told him that he would leave for some time to attend a concert performance, and when the normal shooting of the crew was completed, it would be handed over to the assistant directors and executive directors. But you can't make a point difference pool, otherwise it can only be a rework and remake. He also expressed his belief in Muzio's directing skills, "I think we can also reach a considerable consensus in cooperation!"

Muzio can only smile bitterly in his heart, Qin Fangge is a person with a strong desire to control, or rather, he has his own ideas about the style, emotion and even tone of the whole movie, what is missing is the team that shoots these pictures and scenes.

Of course, Qin Fangge's words are quite good, praising the standard of Italian films is good, and there are many world-renowned directors and films, and they are also quite optimistic about Muzio.

The subtext is that if this movie is popular and popular, Muzio's benefits will definitely be indispensable. Perhaps the average audience doesn't know much about it, and they rarely look at the name of the assistant director and executive director. But at least in the industry, everyone knows his level.

Muzio doesn't have much hope for the box office, but he still has a lot of ideas about whether the film will win an award. also made a lot of suggestions to Qin Fangge, at least, his film works have also been nominated, there are so many movies made in the world every year, only a few can be released, and it is not easy to get a movie nomination. Muzio is particularly familiar with the process and operation of major film festivals, and he also knows how to better get into the eyes of the jury.

Qin Fangge also pushed the boat, saying that he didn't understand these aspects very well, and he didn't have time to toss them, "My main goal is to shoot this movie perfectly, and the rest may have to be troubled by you!"

Muzio doesn't feel troublesome, including walking the red carpet on various occasions to receive awards. Of course, he didn't think that Qin Fangge was the most fooling him, this guy was indeed a busy man, and he was already very unprofessional when he came to make movies! How good it would be to have a few more concerts, sing a few operas, and create some musical works, and other things like entertainment could be handed over to others to do for him.

On the side of the film director team, Qin Fangge also invited the young director Hongzhou from China to come over, but whether it was fame or status, there was no way to compare with Muzio, and he came to study mostly.

In terms of age, Hongzhou is actually not young, he is thirty-five years old, but his qualifications in the directing industry are still very shallow, and most of the movies he has made before are micro-films, and the literary films he made have not even had a chance to be released. Qin Fang's song is so good that after watching it, he thinks it's quite good, in the case of the script crew and actors being rotten like that, the movie made can still be eye-catching, it can definitely be regarded as talented and has great potential, so he was given such an opportunity to participate in the crew.

For this reason, Hongzhou is very grateful to Qin Fangge, and he has a sense of finally meeting a confidant. Nowadays, all kinds of micro-movies and online movies in China are emerging in endlessly, but there are actually very few that can really meet the audience. Even if it can be released in theaters in the end, the bad movies that can be scolded by the audience and film critics account for the vast majority.

Many bad movies invite big-name stars, even directors who were particularly well-known in the past and have made many classic works, and there are many bad ones who will not be guaranteed in the later season, and they will reach a new level and a new realm.

Qin Fangge chose Hongzhou because he has ideas and strength, the key is that he wants to make a good movie, not a complete lack of sincerity, he knows that he is shoddy, fools the audience, and knows the kind of people who make a lot of money.

Hongzhou has a deeper understanding of the current situation of the domestic film industry than Qin Fangge, and he understands better how difficult it is to get ahead. Qin Fangge is now famous, and in these years, being famous is basically everything. I haven't watched those so-called little flowers and little fresh meat starring in some bad movies, winning the titles of the queen of bad movies, the prince of bad movies, etc., can they still attract brain-dead fans to buy tickets to watch it?

Of course, this is not only the problem in China.

Foreign movies are actually similar, and the movies that domestic audiences can see are basically still screened films with a certain level. All kinds of movies that refresh the lower limit and show new levels of festivals also abound. These directors don't want to make good movies, but they are limited by their own standards and environments, and the things that come out are unbearable to look at.

Qin Fangge was born out of thin air, and killed in the film industry, not to mention other influences, just because he must have invested in making movies, it gave these people in Muziohun an excellent opportunity to show their talents.
