Chapter 1145: Proposal
Not only did the fans open their minds, but on the way to the airport, Qian Feifei, who learned that his folk music work Liang Zhu had a successful premiere, was asking Qin Fangge, "Do you want to make a movie about Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai?"
Qin Fangge replied, "I don't have such an idea yet, and now this movie has made me anxious." Vertex updates the fastest"
"That's right, there's a lot going on in making movies. But you can invest, find other directors to shoot, and put up a name as a producer or producer. This poignant love story, I believe that there are still some markets in China, and if it is filmed well, it will not lose money. Qian Feifei continued to come up with ideas and said, "The music of the key movie, with your Liang Zhu, the whole movie can definitely be made into a masterpiece." ”
"You still have to write the script first, if the script is not good enough, no matter how good the music is, it is useless. Zhou Xiuying, Xi Wanqing, and He Xiong also joined the discussion, and they prepared to take a plane to the next stop, Prague. With a good start to working with the Roma Opera, Zhou Xiuying also wants to make persistent efforts to negotiate the performance of "Don Giovanni" in Prague.
In the opera version of "Liang Zhu", Zhou Xiuying's wife Fang Xiping is already working on the script, and the music will naturally be handed over to Qin Fangge to complete. It is foreseeable that excellent music works like Liang Zhu will definitely not be limited to the form of folk music. Among them, the poignant and romantic melody can be made into a piano or violin concerto, and other types such as national orchestral works and erhu concertos are also completely fine.
Liang Zhu has a lot of related dramas, TV series, movies and other works, Qian Feifei said that it is completely possible to absorb its advantages and make it into a classic movie, "The TV series still feels too procrastinating, and it is inevitable that a lot of drama plots will be added to it, and the length of an opera or movie is just right." If you shoot in China, the investment should not be too high. ”
But the key is the script, and the screenwriter must be strong, and it is not easy to do this. He Xiong is not satisfied with those movies on the market nowadays, "I feel that I am completely here to cheat money, and few of them are really making movies with their hearts, is it really because any bad movie can cheat money, so everyone looks for stars with many fans to act, no matter how bad the acting skills are, it doesn't matter?"
Xi Wanqing said with a smile, "As far as those scripts are concerned, the actors who are the best at acting are all bad movies! Aren't we seeing a lot of movies that are surprisingly bad when big names gather?"
Zhou Xiuying also said, "If Qin Fangge has the time and energy, it is not impossible to make a movie like Liang Zhu, but you must take care of it and don't let your reputation be ruined." ”
Qian Feifei smiled, "We are all optimistic about his vision, whether it is "Romance of the New Three Kingdoms" or "Silk Road" that he participated in the composition before, as well as the film that was filmed and the "Smiling Proud Jianghu" that is being filmed, there is nothing to say about the quality." By the way, the documentary "Silk Road" is about to air! When will your TV soundtrack go on sale?"
Qin Fangge replied, "The Silk Road seems to be broadcast in late May, and it is estimated that the original soundtrack concert will be put on the shelves in advance, and the details are still being discussed." ”
"The soundtrack will definitely be on sale in early May, and it will also do some publicity for the documentary!" Xi Wanqing said, she knows better.
"Then your future movie soundtrack will also be released before the movie is released, right?" Qian Feifei asked.
"If we have to negotiate with the Czech Philharmonic Orchestra this time, the symphony will be put on sale after the recording is completed, and the sooner the film is promoted, the better. He Xiong said with a smile, he is not optimistic about the level of the domestic symphony orchestra, there is no way, the gap is real, after all, people have a glorious history of more than 100 years, and it will take some time to catch up.
When it comes to working with Czech philharmonic orchestras and opera houses, there are a lot of things that need to be negotiated in advance. Qin Fangge chose Prague in the Czech Republic instead of Vienna in Austria for many reasons, Zhou Xiuying and the others did not study it in detail, the road was walked step by step, and the classical music atmosphere in the Czech Republic was no worse than that of Vienna, Berlin and other places, and the key Prague orchestra and audience were very enthusiastic, and they also welcomed the joining of a new force like Qin Fangge.
It's not necessarily a good idea to go straight to places like Berlin and Vienna.
took the train and chatted all the way to Rome Airport, they didn't feel bored, took the ticket to Prague, Qin Fangge and He Xiong were responsible for most of the luggage, and the energetic old lady Zhou Xiuying was more familiar with these places at the airport than Qian Feifei, she often came to Europe for exchanges, and she was always alone, which was really admirable. Qin Fangge, who was going abroad for the first time, just dragged his luggage and followed them, but he didn't have to worry so much.
This time, there are just five of them, Xue Min and He Ruyun have already gone to Prague in advance, Xu Jing is still staying in Rome to run in with the crew, and she and the two assistant directors and crew members still have a lot of preliminary preparations to do.
Qin Fangge made a movie this time, and the Chinese and foreign personnel in the crew were half, and when the filming of this movie is completed, there will be no need for so many personnel in the post-production work.
Therefore, Xi Wanqing is thinking about how to efficiently use this group of grown talents, many of whom have signed contracts with the company. For example, if the assistant director Hong Zhou is asked to make a movie Liang Zhu, and Qin Fangge helps to check it, it shouldn't be a big problem. It's not easy to run a company now, especially now Qin Fangge's company, with less income and more expenses, at the very least, it must be able to maintain a balance between income and expenditure.
As for filming a movie like "Liang Zhu", there is no big problem in terms of investment, and there is no need for a big deal like his current "Pianist at Sea", and a rough estimate of an investment of 30 million is quite luxurious.
Of course, if you want to talk about the return on investment, shooting low-budget horror movies is the easiest to become a box office dark horse.
Xi Wanqing also told Qin Fangge about this, he didn't have much opinion, and the movie could also be regarded as an investment behavior. At present, domestic capital also dominates all aspects of films, and it is an open secret that it is profitable for capital! Xi Wanqing also said that many people use investment in films to achieve other purposes, such as money laundering, which is also an open secret. Naturally, they don't need this, because there is not much money that they don't need to be washed, and they still expect to make a little money.
Anyway, Qin Fangge's own words, after filming this movie, he definitely didn't want to work so hard as a director in a short period of time, he was so tired that he was half dead. It's a lot easier just to invest and supervise, and you don't have to do it yourself, for example, in the filming of the TV series "Smiling Proud Jianghu", he basically didn't worry about it.
