Chapter 1006: Labels
Qin Fangge rushed to the company after three classes, and during this period, Xi Wanqing and their preparations were almost the same. But she didn't send the script to everyone in the company to read, and it wasn't necessary. Xu Jing, an external costume designer, was also present, and she was the first person to join the crew.
Other members of the crew, such as assistant directors, executive directors, cinematographers, lighting engineers, scene reporters, artists, etc., are the tasks of their meeting today.
On the producer's side, Qin Fangge doesn't want to be criticized by others when he makes a movie, he, the director, has absolute control over the shooting and post-editing of the entire movie. Others can be named, others are not to be discussed, if it is just to make a movie, his own funds are enough to make a movie.
But the film is not just filmed, but also promoted, released and released, and these aspects have to cooperate with other companies.
Money is a good thing, at least when it comes to making movies, and how many movies are difficult to produce because there is no investment. If Qin Fangge invested money to shoot by himself, there would be basically no such problem. He, the director, can even do nothing and just put on a name. If you have money, you can hire a professional film shooting team, but the quality of the film is not good.
The great director Stanley Kubrick once said: What should a director do? If the director can handle it, he will deal with it, and if he can't, he will choose. This view illustrates two points: one is that the director must have the creative ability of a film director, and the other is that he must have the ability to judge, especially the judgment of narrative and modeling, which we can generally call artistic sensibility and intuition.
Specifically, it is to use the combination of information inside the lens and the relationship between the lens to form the amount of story information. This involves the idea of splicing, which is the embodiment of a relatively large concept of splicing. This process is mainly reflected in the split-shot stage, but of course, it is also used in the actual shooting and post-production.
Qin Fangge, who has seen the finished product of the original work, is equivalent to opening a cheat, explaining the most specific requirements, and giving them to the assistant director, photographer and artist to work. If you go to the site to supervise in person, there will be basically no major problems.
This time in the conference room, the topics discussed were not only the convening of the crew members, but also the main actors and extras. There is also the preparation of the exterior layout, props, costumes, etc. In addition, the work of outreach must also be done well, before Hongyan Company planned to participate, and if it is distributed at home and abroad, or even released simultaneously in the world, the relationship with the film distribution company and the theater chain must also be contacted first, and it is necessary to let them invest and share the box office.
Qin Fangge is the super boss of the company, he made a request, and the people below the company will deal with it, Xi Wanqing is also the boss, and she is responsible for assigning tasks. In front of everyone, Qin Fangge never had stage fright, "The Virginia and a few locations are selected first, if you can use a green screen, use a green screen, and build what should be built! ”
Xu Jing has been wandering abroad all the year round, and she is more familiar with these, but she didn't open her mouth, and planned to wait for Qin Fangge to finish speaking before bringing it up.
"First of all, I got the art team done, the storyboard script and the picture were done, and the level should be high, and the picture I wanted was exquisite, beautiful and romantic. ”
"The leading actor is the most important, the acting skills must be good, the appearance must be high, the temperament is melancholy, the piano can be played with slender fingers, and you can choose from European actors. ”
"The role of the second fat man is also quite important, the appearance is not important, the key is the acting skills. ”
"Tell Xinyi, coordinate the schedule first when shooting!"
After Qin Fangge finished his request, he also asked everyone, "There is no problem in completing these requirements!"
Everyone said that there was no problem, it was all a matter of communication and coordination, even if there were difficulties, they had to solve the difficulties, and they couldn't say that they would give up making movies because of difficulties. After the project is established, it costs money every day, and it can't be delayed.
And Qin Fangge, the big boss, also promised that after the movie is completed, there will be red envelopes from top to bottom of the company, which is also a deep sense of human nature.
After he finished speaking, it was Xi Wanqing, she was much more demagogic than Qin Fangge, and asked everyone to feel honored to join this large-scale film production, and also said that there is no such good opportunity in other companies, and asked everyone to work hard and write a strong stroke on their resumes.
She assigned specific tasks to several department heads, and it was unrealistic to ask her to do everything in detail.
This meeting was a whole day, and Xu Jing, who was originally a detached person, was able to sit still, which also made Xi Wanqing cry out for a miracle, and she had to protest, "Am I so unbearable in your eyes?"
also made Qin Fangge and Xi Wanqing laugh for a while, especially when she said, "I'm also a good young man with ideals, okay!"
Xu Jing suggested that you can go to Italy or Ukraine to shoot, these two European countries have many ports, and the scenery is quite good. Even if Qin Fangge has money and burns panic, he will definitely not go to the United States to shoot, and I don't know how much the cost will increase.
It is definitely necessary to build a location, and these need to be prepared in advance before shooting, Xu Jing suggested that Qin Fangge can use his fame and influence to fight for discounts.
Xu Jing even proposed, "Your opera Italians like it very much, and when the time comes, you can take the time to go to Italy to perform a few performances, and basically any problem can be solved." ”
Xi Wanqing also said, "I think it's okay, you can bring your "Don Juan" to Italy, I think Mr. Zhou will definitely be very happy! Not only for our film career. ”
Qin Fangge hasn't thought about this yet, but if she wants to tell Zhou Xiuying about such a proposal, she will definitely agree with it 100%, you know, her consistent intention is to carry forward the opera career, if she can counterattack Italy, the origin of opera, I don't know how happy she will be!
Xi Wanqing also proposed, "You can also add excerpts from the opera to the movie, and you don't need too much, just the meaning." ”
Qin Fangge said that he had a plan, but he really didn't plan to be the main event, the Virginia where 1900 was located, the main route was from Europe to the Americas, and the music style would not be less, and there would definitely be no embellishment of opera.
Xu Jing, who was encouraged and stimulated, made up her mind to do a big job, but also considering that she was weak, she dragged Xue Min and He Ruyun into the water to help. Xue Min plays fashion, and He Ruyun is also very interested in clothing. Of course, there must be a lot of professional clothing design teams, and Xu Jing must organize them.
Qin Fangge and Xi Wanqing only looked at the final effect, and were called by Xu Jing, "Big capitalists are good, they specialize in squeezing people like us!"
After joking, Xu Jing still took things seriously, and said that she could help contact and shoot the charter boat, she made a lot of friends, and also laughed and asked the owner of the boat to know that Qin Fangge used it to make a movie, maybe she could give a friendship price or even not charge money.
Qin Fangge didn't have such extravagant hopes, it would be great to find a suitable ship!
At noon, everyone ate in the company, and in the evening, Qin Fangge invited the company to go up and down to eat in the restaurant outside. Including Chen Yushan, Jiang Wu, Jin Hongbo, who were busy recording albums.
Qin Fangge still didn't drink, only replaced wine with tea, and clinked glasses with the employees who came to toast him. When eating, everyone doesn't talk about work, but in the days to come, they will definitely be busy with their feet on the ground. Jiang Wu and the others only cared about Qin Fangge's music, such as his harvest on the Silk Road, and asked him if he had any plans to take over the music of the next TV series or movie.
Qin Fangge said that he didn't have time, and everyone believed this, and it was quite good that he could handle the matter at hand smoothly.
After dinner, Qin Fangge also asked everyone to go back and have a good rest, and they will be even busier from tomorrow. He himself used the excuse that he still had to talk to Xi Wanqing about work, so he simply didn't go back to the courtyard directly, and just asked the driver to send Chen Yushan back.
Everyone else knew that Qin Fangge was an absolute workaholic when he worked, and Chen Yushan was puzzled, especially when she smelled a lot of smells that morning.
Xu Jing was on the rise, muttering with Xue Min and He Ruyun about clothing design, and they even joined forces with You Jiayu, a professional stylist, to take over the makeup work together.
Costume makeup is a large group, and it is of course best to have acquaintances, although this time it is mainly for foreigners to put on makeup props, and it is necessary to invite foreign professionals to join in. Xu Jing felt that it was very important to occupy a dominant position, and as long as Qin Fangge finally presented the effect, he couldn't worry so much, only reminded them that they were all novices in making movies and preparations, and they must recruit some knowledgeable veterans to come in, even if the opinions are just for reference.
Xu Jing hurriedly said that she would not let him down, and she would not joke about him, she was ambitious and wanted to make a career. Of course, she is also selfish in striving for the title of fashion designer, and if the film wins an award or something, she will become famous! It is not easy to get ahead in the fashion design industry now, and making movies is a good way.
And Xi Wanqing and Xue Min also agreed that with Qin Fangge's artistic appreciation and aesthetic ability, it is not too much of a problem to shoot exquisite and beautiful movies. Not to mention his music, if he wants to go to a film festival or something, at least he can win the best soundtrack award. He even counted on the soundtrack to reduce the pressure on him to recoup his costs.
It would have been even more perfect if you had gone one step further and won the award for Best Costume Design, Best Cinematography, Best Screenplay, or even Best Director, Best Picture.
Xu Jing and Xue Min still gathered in Xi Wanqing's villa at night, going to a hotel or club, the privacy is definitely not as high as here in the villa, and it is quite troublesome to be exposed.
When they arrived at Xi Wanqing's villa, at first, everyone was sitting around the sofa to discuss various matters related to the preparation and filming of the movie, but it soon evolved into a romantic discussion.
I have to mention that Qin Fangge has a lot of ideas, and they are also very in line with the tastes of several women, romantic, exquisite, beautiful, and of course, there must be melancholy and loneliness.
Xue Min said that this is a common problem of geniuses, but movies need such things.
They have all read the complete script today, and the movie ends tragically at the end, and they all say that tragedy is the destruction of beautiful things for people to see, but because the foreshadowing is well done, they are not surprised.
"Perhaps, only the sea is his true destination!" Xi Wanqing sighed.
"We are quite lucky, Qin Fangge, a real genius, did not leave himself independent, but integrated into us, bringing us joy and smiles. "He Ruyun is really romantic, and her face is full of spring breeze.
Qin Fangge smiled and said that he was actually just a layman, and what he did was mundane, and he had to let go if he grasped He Ruyun's most prominent feature.
Xue Min glanced at them a few times, she was quite literary, "I think in fact, everyone actually has such innocence and beauty in their hearts, but also loneliness and sadness! When the movie is made, I believe it will definitely touch countless people, make their hearts touch, and burst into tears." ”
Xu Jing was still pondering with the script, "Just such a story is actually wonderful enough, and I love the scene where the piano rotates in the hall and plays romantic and beautiful music." ”
"I think the piano fight is more interesting!" He Ruyun also expressed her opinion, and she also asked Qin Fangge, "You piano learners, do you really know how to fight the piano like this?"
"Haha, you might as well ask him, is the piano really hot enough to light a cigarette?" Xu Jing laughed.
Xue Min despised her and said, "This is art or not, although it is exaggerated, but if it is filmed, it must be quite interesting, I can imagine that kind of picture, used as a trailer, it must attract many people to the cinema to watch." ”
Xi Wanqing responded with lines from the script, "his rules!"
What is rare is that Xi Wanqing and the others discussed very eagerly, but no one said that they wanted to go in and play a cameo role or something. But they are very interested in the behind-the-scenes production of the movie, and they are also very enthusiastic, especially represented by Xu Jing. It is said that women are born with a love of beauty and vanity, Xu Jing herself admits this, and is proud of it, saying that this is the driving force to move forward, "just like he loves to do what he likes to do now!"
Xu Jing also asked Xi Wanqing, "Do you want to leave your name in the movie, producer, producer, or producer?"
Xi Wanqing looked at Qin Fangge, who was trying to help He Ruyun shape a beautiful figure, he only smiled and said, "Look at Qing'er, you can leave whatever name you like! And Min Min and Ru Yun are the same, they are shown to the world as a label of our love, and it is also a secret between us." ”
Xi Wanqing's eyes were like silk, "You don't worry about being picked up when the time comes?"
Qin Fangge was thick-skinned and bragged that he never knew what to worry about, and he was laughed at by a few women, but they were quite satisfied in their hearts, just like what Qin Fangge is trying to do now, it is the double enjoyment of spiritual and material things that no one else in this world can give them.
