Chapter 191: Candidate for Director
If you don't invite a screenwriter, the script will be settled.
Having money can indeed make ghosts grind, but sometimes having money doesn't necessarily mean that everything will go well.
"You said before that the original author of this book was willing to be the screenwriter?"
Suddenly, Bihuo thought of something and couldn't help but ask.
The people below were stunned for a moment, but nodded and said, "I did say it, but I found someone to know about this original author, who is not from a professional background, and it may be ...... to write a script."
"It's decided for the time being, since he is the original author, it should be the most suitable to adapt his own novel script. As for the rest, do we have any other options now?"
The crowd looked at each other, and then fell silent.
Yes, those well-known screenwriters don't take this job, and those small screenwriters don't feel at ease, so it's better to let the original author of the novel be the screenwriter himself.
At least, as the original author of the novel, he will definitely not spoil his work.
The matter of the script is settled, but someone on the side said at this time, "Boss, the screenwriter's matter has been settled for the time being, but this director?"
A group of people fell silent again, the original Jiukong Culture Media was just a small company.
has been released and produced before, it is a few small-budget web dramas and series of videos, and there is nothing to make a small fuss, but suddenly there is a big-budget movie with an investment of hundreds of millions, and those people are naturally not enough to watch.
"The same trouble, those well-known directors, we can't afford to afford. ”
There are only a few awesome directors in China, and any one of them has various awards and box office results, and it is definitely not something that can be asked for if you have money.
But in the same way, once you can invite those big directors to direct the movie, at least it can have a huge guarantee for the box office.
Bihuo also had a sad face, don't look at Tang Feng's words, he directly gave him 500 million to shoot, but what Tang Feng asked for was all the 500 million for publicity and promotion, but he didn't say what the specific budget was for filming the movie.
They don't dare to be big at the moment, in case the capital chain is broken at that time, the only best fate for their group of people is to roll up the bed and leave.
Not to mention, those big directors, if you have money, people may not necessarily buy it.
Bihuo is a person in the industry, so he naturally understands this truth.
…
"So, the purpose of you coming to me is that you already have a plan?"
Ninety-nine floors of Tianhai Building.
Tang Feng's office.
In the huge office, Tang Feng and Bihuo sat facing each other, and Yang Xin poured tea for the two of them on the side and left, looking fully accustomed to his new position, as Tang Feng's personal little secretary.
Tang Feng is not interested in how the movie is made.
Of course, if the movie can't even be made, it won't be the result he wants to see.
"Mr. Bi, I, Tang Feng, am a layman, and I am not interested in some bends in the film and television industry, and I don't want to know about them. ”
Tang Feng said this as a matter of course, and Bihuo heard it without any objection at all.
"The screenwriter uses the original author of the novel to serve as the screenwriter, and I don't have any opinion. ”
Of course, Tang Feng will not have any opinions, although the interlacing is like a mountain, but the writer and the screenwriter are actually not considered to be cross-lined, and many screenwriters in China are actually writers themselves, and they also have their own books published.
The reverse is also true.
Hearing that Tang Feng didn't object, Bihuo's heart fell most, but he still asked tentatively, "What about the director?"
"You just said that you invited a well-known director in China to be named at a high price?"
"Yes, Mr. Tang, you also know that we have just been established now, and it is very difficult to directly cooperate with those well-known directors. But if it's just a name, there should still be a possibility of operation. ”
This is a solution that he and his team studied all night for a long time before finally coming up with it.
"Although it is only a name, it is completely avoidable to talk about it to the outside world, and it is not much to lose for us. ”
Seeing that Tang Feng didn't say anything, Bihuo pondered for a moment before continuing, "Among the few directors who are relatively famous in the country now, Director Ma, Director Zhang and Director Jiang can be regarded as big directors with great appeal at the box office. ”
Tang Feng has also heard of these three directors, and they are indeed directors who have had several high-grossing films in China.
"And who do you think is the best fit?"
Tang Feng seemed to be smiling.
Of the three people, the other two didn't feel anything yet, but the last one he had just dealt with not long ago, so naturally he looked a little strange after hearing his name.
Bihuo didn't know about it, and after thinking about it for a while, he said, "Director Ma has been preparing to make a military-themed movie since last year, and it is unlikely that he will cooperate with us." ”
"As for Director Zhang, he has jumped out of the Chinese film and television circle ten years ago, and he has been developing abroad in the past few years, so if you want to ask him to cooperate, you don't have to think about it. ”
These two are directors who have been famous for many years, and the latter is even more international, and they are no longer in the same rank as others.
Not to mention their newly established small company, even if it is some big producers in China, it is not so simple to ask him to help.
"So?"
Tang Feng smiled.
"I inquired that Director Jiang was in Xicheng during this time, and he was also looking for investors for a movie, which happened to be an opportunity for us. ”
According to Bihuo's idea, this opportunity is indeed rare.
These big directors are bigger than the other, if it weren't for the fact that the other party is asking for help now, he really can't be convinced.
Of course, he still had to ask Tang Feng's opinion in advance, so he specially rushed to see Tang Feng in person.
One has money, the other lacks money, and it just hits it off.
He analyzed it in his heart, and the success rate of this matter was quite high.
The only thing is that Tang Feng needs to agree.
"If Mr. Tang thinks it's feasible, I can make an appointment with Director Jiang to discuss this matter. ”
Before he came, he still had various concerns, but when it came to now, a smile appeared on Bihuo's face, and if this matter can be negotiated, at least it will be a good start for the movie they are preparing for this time.
The most important thing is to use the connections and connections of a well-known director in the circle to pave the way for the film they are preparing to make this time.
Before Tang Feng could answer, Bihuo's mobile phone rang.
As soon as he looked at the number, he frowned slightly, because the person who called him was the same person under his team.
"Boss, very bad news. ”
As soon as the phone was connected, a voice came from the other end, which also made Bihuo's heart fall straight to the bottom.
"We just asked Director Jiang Huai to mention the matter of our preparation for the film, and he put forward one condition......
"On what terms?"
Director Jiang Huai said that this matter should be begged by Mr. Tang in person, maybe he can think about it. ”
