Chapter 772 - Awesome Script
"Ziang, which director are you going to let shoot, and how much is the investment?" asked Li Yuqing anxiously.
Her family is not like Chen Ziang's family.
The Chen family does business, and they will not blink an eye if they lose hundreds of millions.
And the Li family, even if it is only a loss of a few million, it is very painful.
The two are not in the same gear.
There are many newcomer directors of Boyu Film and Television, and Li Yuqing knows at least nine.
There are no masterpieces.
If there are any, it is a small work such as advertisements and music videos.
But how can those works compare with the movies on the big screen?
To use a figurative analogy, shooting small commercials and MVs is compared to making movies, just like driving a bumper car is compared to driving a heavy truck.
Even driving a bumper car is compared to driving a plane.
"It may be Du Yanling, or it may be Xin Ning and a few of them. Chen Ziang said.
When Chen Ziang said that it might be Du Yanling, Li Yuqing felt fine, and when she said that the directors of Xin Ning, who had just signed with Boyu Film and Television not long ago, her heart suddenly lifted.
"Is this reliable?" she blurted out.
Chen Ziang thought for a while and replied honestly: "I don't actually know, what I can guarantee is that I will come with the final cutting power." ”
Li Yuqing had a bitter face: "Then I vote, or not?"
Chen Zi frowned: "Making a movie, even if I have always been very arrogant, I personally go into battle, I can't guarantee 100% of the money with anyone." This is an investment, and if you want to avoid all the risks, it is impossible. I've told you before that neither "Charlotte Troubles" nor "I'm Not a Big Hero" will not lose money......"
Li Yuqing was afraid that Chen Ziang would stop her from getting into the car, so she hurriedly said: "I'll invest, but how much is the approximate investment, Ziang, you have a bottom in your heart, right?"
Chen Ziang's face softened a little.
This cousin, no aunt Shi Hui can behave and do things.
Since she started messing with herself, many opportunities have been given to her, but she is too timid.
If you want to make a steady profit, you still have to go to work honestly.
When the company goes bankrupt, the boss runs away, and the salary is not paid.
Labor Arbitration?
If it is so troublesome and unanimous, it is not easy to recover all the wages.
There are many people who just hate trouble, and it is better to continue to look for a job to earn money.
They feel that the time and energy spent on labor arbitration are more worthwhile to go to work.
"My bottom line is eight million, and I won't give too much. Too much is not a test. You are the only producer this time, how to control costs, you are better than me. Chen Ziang said to Li Yuqing.
Li Yuqing's heart was slightly cold.
Is this movie training for the rookie director of Boyu Film and Television?
"Okay, this film, whether you vote or not, the producer is you, take the time to start preparing these days, set up the project before the year, and start it after the year. Chen Ziang didn't care about Li Yuqing.
Li Yuqing still has a lot of things to ask Chen Ziang in her heart, such as whether the movie storyboard is enough, what role does he play, producer, or what?
But since Chen Ziang ordered the eviction, she had to leave the room with the script.
has been on the set for so long, and Li Yuqing has long been familiar with the production process and details of the movie.
After Li Yuqing left, Chen Ziang sat quietly on the sofa for a while, then took out his mobile phone and made a call.
Not long after, there was a knock on the door.
Chen Ziang got up and went to open the door.
"Mr. Chen, I heard Sister Qiu Ting say that you are looking for me. "It's Du Yanling who came, he didn't shoot the third part of "Love Apartment", and now he is in Chen Ziang's crew.
Chen Ziang asked Du Yanling to enter the house, but the door was hidden.
"Wait a minute, Sister Qiu Ting and Xin Ning will also come over. Chen Ziang explained, coming back to sit on the sofa.
Du Yanling asked, "Tomorrow's shooting plan hasn't changed much, right?"
"No, let's not talk about this movie tonight, talk about something else. Chen Ziang pointed to the water dispenser and said to Du Yanling: "If you are thirsty, you will drink water by yourself, so I will not be polite to you." ”
Du Yanling was not thirsty either, but it was a little unnatural to be alone with Chen Ziang, so she had to find something to do, so she got up and went to fetch water.
When Du Yanling finished fetching water, Xin Ning also arrived.
He and Du Yanling both graduated from the directing department of Beijing Film Co., Ltd., and they have a brother-in-law relationship.
But Xin Ning is now unknown in the film and television director industry, and is not as famous as Du Yanling.
No matter what Du Yanling said, she has also filmed two popular "Love Apartments".
After Xin Ning entered the door, Li Qiuting also came over quickly.
"Women are trouble, call you, but it's the two of them who come first. Chen Ziang complained about Li Qiuting.
Li Qiuting didn't care for a long time.
Chen Ziang is famous in her as "Brother Geng".
Of course, it is also the famous "pit god".
"If you have a wife and children, can you talk about girls so casually and offend girls?" Although Li Qiuting is used to Chen Ziang's complaints, she is also used to fighting back.
"Yes, I don't expect to please you girls, and then find a girlfriend or wife among you. Chen Ziang and Li Qiuting quarreled very casually.
Du Yanling and Xin Ning laughed on the side, not daring to talk at all.
The two of them felt that they had not yet reached the level of Chen Ziang and Li Qiuting.
Chen Ziang and Li Qiuting are the bosses, and their status and popularity are different from theirs.
"It is said that married men are more attractive, why do I think you are becoming less and less likable?" Li Qiuting sat down next to Chen Ziang.
Chen Ziang didn't continue to argue with Li Qiuting, took out two printed scripts, and handed them to Du Yanling and Xin Ning respectively: "You two take a look at this script, read the first two pages, and tell me what you think." ”
Du Yanling and Xin Ning hurriedly took over the script.
"Then I'll take a look now. "Xin Ning is more restrained than Du Yanling, there is no way, his qualifications are one or two points lower than Du Yanling.
Du Yanling hasn't mixed into Tian Xiaosheng and Hao Jian's layer yet.
These directors of Boyu Film and Television roughly have a circle and level.
The highest level is Chen Ziang, Tian Xiaosheng, and Hao Jian.
Then there is Li Longji, Li Qiuting, and Du Yanling.
At the bottom, of course, are Xin Ning, who has never produced a big work or a red film.
Although Li Longji has never made a movie, his qualifications are too old, and Chen Ziang dug it up at the beginning, so he can enter Chen Ziang's layer to play.
Li Qiuting is one of the bosses, so naturally it goes without saying.
Tian Xiaosheng and Hao Jian are both directors of the Billion Club, so they are also eligible to enter Chen Ziang's level.
"You take your time first, don't be in a hurry. Chen Ziang said.
Li Qiuting asked curiously, "What about my share?"
"You didn't. Chen Ziang said with a smile.
Li Qiuting was a little anxious: "I'm the most idle here, I don't have many scenes, give me some work?"
Chen Ziang thought about it, walked into the back room, and took out a stack of A4 papers.
"Don't you want to learn from me, this is for you!" he threw a movie script in front of Li Qiuting.
Li Qiuting's eyes lit up.
Chen Ziang's "I'm Not a Big Hero" really made her red-eyed.
She has always wanted to make a realistic work.
But she doesn't have a script.
Recently, other people's film and television companies have either been looking for Chen Ziang everywhere to talk about cooperation, or they want to ask him for a script.
Ask Chen Ziang to shoot their script, that's no need to think about it.
Investment?
That doesn't seem to have a way out.
Then it's always okay to ask for a script, right?
Anyway, racking my brains to make all kinds of sums.
Li Qiuting picked up the script, and the speed looked.
She doesn't want to shoot the "Huanzhu Gege" series anymore.
Seeing that Tian Xiaosheng and Hao Jian have entered the billion club, how can she feel at ease?
She used to be mixed in the film industry, filming TV series, she just wanted to prepare for the director to enter the film industry.
Du Yanling and Xin Ning read the script for half an hour and finally stopped.
"Mr. Chen, I like this comedy movie script. Xin Ning said with a red face.
Du Yanling originally wanted to say that he liked it and wanted to shoot, but Xin Ning spoke in advance, he was stunned, and said cheekily: "Mr. Chen, I think it is also very suitable for me." ”
The two began to grab it.
Chen Ziang said with a smile: "Let me explain in advance, the cost of this movie will be very controlled, more than six million companies will not vote, I have suggestions in the script for the actors to be invited." The final cutting power is in my hands, and you will invite someone to shoot according to my requirements and suggestions. By the way, probably my cousin will take a stake, so I don't plan to let you be a practitioner, but to make money for me. ”
Du Yanling and Xin Ning were shocked.
I rub, the cost is so low?
Is it an online movie?
Or the boss's cousin voted for it, isn't that a loss a slap in the boss's face?
The boss can't explain it to his cousin.
If you really lose money, if you want to ask the boss for a script and investment in the future, it will be basically difficult, I don't know what year and month.
Du Yanling and Xin Ning both began to hesitate.
"Don't worry, you can take it back and take a look at it, study it, talk to me when the time comes, if you don't want to take it, I'll find someone else." If you are willing to take it, then make a plan, and Sister Qiu Ting and I will see who does better, and we will hand it over to whomever it is. Chen Ziang said.
Du Yanling and Xin Ning breathed a sigh of relief, it's not a choice now, that's good.
You can go back and study it again.
Not long after, the two took the script and left.
Li Qiuting was still reading the script, and she was fascinated by it, her eyes lit up for a while, and her eyebrows were slightly wrinkled for a while.
Chen Ziang looked at Li Qiuting's expression and felt very funny.
A woman who gets serious is just as cute.
The script of this movie he gave Li Qiuting was famous in his previous life.
It is known for its strong colors and bold style.
The film creates a group portrait of a group of ordinary Chinese people, praising their national spirit of daring to live, dare to die, dare to love, and dare to hate, and also thinks about the history, character, psychology, culture and survival mode of the Chinese nation.
The biggest feature of the film is that it captures the heroic and cheerful side of the Chinese, which is very different from the traditional style of Chinese mainland films.
In terms of framing and the use of color, it has an excellent performance, and the part where the hero and heroine Yehe is together has the rare beauty of "scenery and people" in Chinese films, which makes people feel happy to watch.
But in fact, this movie is not a very realistic work, nor is it a search for the roots of national culture.
On the contrary, in this story that connects three generations and is narrated in the past tense, what is shaped is a personality with a future meaning, a personality ideal, which transcends the specific social surface and has the depth of human nature and essence.
Therefore, the work in front of the viewer is not an understood world, but an ideal of life in a world.
Unlike any previous film about the peasants, its perspective has shifted from the traditional celebration of the land to the celebration of life.
The extraordinary nature of the story determines the unreality of the narrative, and the location of the story is also downplayed. In the film, even the most basic structure of society - the village - is downplayed. All the narrative and audiovisual elements in the film are in the service of this warm, free-spirited and exhilarating style of natural life.
Different from previous exploration films, although it also carries the director's idea of the theme of life, it does not completely dilute the plot like other exploration films, and relies on the shock of pure cinematic language to directly express the director's ideas.
This film starts from the reality, from the specific characters in the prescribed situation, weaves a complete, wonderful and moving story framework, so that the ideas naturally flow through the twists and turns of the story, the characters' behaviors, and actions.
The film itself has a complete storyline, but this narrative line is mostly done by voice-overs.
At the beginning of the film, when the picture is still completely black, the narration of "I" comes from the vocal cords.
This is a point of view that is recounted in the present tense, and this "I" here is the narrator of a story. Since he does not appear in the story, he is supposed to be an objective narrator, but he is also the descendant of the characters in the story, which in turn gives him a certain sense of participation, and thus the meaning of being narrated.
Therefore, this point of view is very peculiar and novel, it allows the director to have a comfortable point of view reference when dealing with the whole play, which is very free and omniscient. At the same time, the characteristics of his narration pull the story apart, and have the effect of historical distancing. Based on this point of view, the director makes clear the fictional nature of the story in this opening statement.
"As the days go by, some people believe and some people don't. "Thus it is very comfortable to integrate the story into an unreal time and space. The voiceover appears 12 times in the film. And the main plot turning points in the film, such as the relationship between the characters, the surrounding environment, and the time transition, are almost all explained by voiceovers.
The voiceover film also assumes a kind of "pre-narration" function, which adds the audience's "expectation horizon" to make the progress of the picture story more tense.
The honors that the film won in its previous life can be described in countless ways.
"How is it, do you still want to see the dawn?" Li Qiuting was immersed in the script for too long, Chen Ziang couldn't stand it anymore, and reminded her.
Li Qiuting raised her head, looked at the time, and was a little apologetic.
Then he looked at Chen Ziang with a complicated face: "I don't dare to shoot." ”
Chen Ziang nodded, indicating that he understood.
"I'm afraid I'll smash it. Li Qiuting was heartbroken.
As a filmmaker, she can see the charm of this script.
But it is precisely because of this that she is afraid that she will not be able to shoot the feeling inside.
It's like wearing a beautiful dress, walking through muddy meadows, fields.
She was afraid that when she walked over, her skirt would be unrecognizable.
