Chapter 397: People know themselves
For martial arts masters, weapons are gods, for cooking masters, cooking utensils are gods, and for artists, songs and dances themselves are gods.
For the director, the script has a 'god', and this god does not mean that the script itself will jump up and say a word, dance and laugh and become alive, but that the content of the script has its unique characteristics, characteristics and flavor.
For example, what Wang Shuo writes, with a sense of laughter and anger that sees through everything and indifferent to everything, Liu Zhengyun writes a book, and the taste of irony will be lighter, even if it is extremely satirical and absurd characters and plots, it often analyzes the deep-seated reasons behind it from the surface, and there is a trace of thinking.
Just as singers with different voices are suitable for singing different songs, and writers with different styles are suitable for writing different articles, there is also a mutual match between the director and the script.
Feng Gang has been in the past few years, and he has found that Wang Shuo's book is the most convenient, and Liu Zhengyun's is also okay, so he often mixes with him, Wang Shuo's writing is good, but the article is not as good as film and television after all, and soon found out that his book, Feng Gang can especially shoot that kind of taste, and the relationship between the two sides is getting closer and closer.
This time, Liang Yifei invested money, but he was not ready to use Wang and Liu's books, Feng Gang was not very confident in his heart.
"I'll write you a notebook. Liang Yifei laughed and said, "However, it's just a general thing, there is some dialogue or something in it, and you have to fill it in." ”
"I forgot, you are also a good hand at writing scripts!" Feng Gang deliberately hugged Liang Yifei in front of Yang Yuying and said: "Miss Yang, you probably don't know yet, Boss Liang is not only a business wizard, but also a literary and artistic youth, when we filmed the story of the editorial department, he can write and act, if you want me to say, one day I will not do business, and it is also a generation of people to write books and make movies!"
I heard that Liang Yifei was going to stuff actresses into the crew, Feng Gang still wondered who it was, but he didn't expect that when they met, it was Yang Yuying, he didn't know each other, but there are some intersections in the circle, this sweet song queen is also a top entertainment actress in the mainland, she comes to play a role, of course, it is helpful for the promotion and viewing effect of the movie.
At first, I thought she was following Liang Yifei, and I couldn't help but feel a wave of admiration, thinking that this Boss Liang was really awesome, and he got her to work quietly, but later saw that Liang Yifei kept a distance from Yang Yuying in his words, and only then did he know that he had misunderstood.
Yang Yuying didn't know Liang Yifei's past, hearing Feng Gang say this, her eyes were also bright, and then she looked at Liang Yifei's eyes with a bit of admiration, and said with a smile: "I don't know how to act, it's all up to the guidance of two great talents!"
"I'm not going to act this time!" Liang Yifei laughed.
"Mr. Liang, what kind of book is it, take it out and talk about it. Feng Gang said.
Liang Yifei had already prepared the book, and it took some time to write the script before.
He has thought about this problem, this kind of thing, movies have not made much money in the past two years due to the limited number of large screens in China, and even if it is filmed at the top, it can't make much money, even if in 2018, the box office of a drama is already very awesome, and the producer will share the profits of six or seven billion, compared with other industries, the total amount is limited.
But on the other hand, this industry is fast in money, the turnover rate is extremely high, and there is no need to worry much.
At present, I still need to write some scripts by myself, and then I am familiar with these people in the circle, I have been a producer and investor a few times, and even after simply setting up a film production company, if there is a good script, people will naturally send it to the door to find investment, and I have a prophet, which books and movies are worth investing in, it can be said that I can make money, and it can be said that I can grasp it 100%.
That is to say, although it is not the most profitable industry, for oneself, the prophet, it is also the most worry-free industry with a relatively high rate of return, the key is that from 95 years this year to 2017, you can eat it for the entire 20 years, and this total number together cannot be ignored.
In the future, if a film company can go public or something, it will also be a good financing channel.
So you might as well test the water from now on, the current demand for domestic films is large, but the scale of the big screen is limited, and there are not many entrants, which is a good opportunity to enter the market.
Pocket money is not earned in vain, and now it is pocket money, which may come in handy in the future.
This book for Feng Gang is nothing amazing, it is Party A and Party B, the Chinese New Year films that should have been released in history in 97, or Wang Shuo and Feng Gang wrote the book, and Feng Gang filmed, but Liang Yifei advanced the time node forward by two years.
Speaking of which, the growth of people's entertainment demand in recent years is indeed far greater than the development of the market, Liang Yifei remembers very clearly that in his last life, in the 90s, he was eager for various movies, in addition to going to the video hall to rent videotapes and VCDs, there are really not many movies to watch in the mainland, such as not seeing or leaving, Party A and Party B, these more interesting Chinese New Year films, he doesn't know how many times he has watched it, not to mention the plot and lines in it, at least he is very familiar with it.
The only one that can be compared is probably Stephen Chow's comedy.
gave Feng Gang and Yang Yuying a copy of the script, Liang Yifei lit a cigarette and waited for them to finish reading, Feng Gang read it faster, ten lines at a glance, and after reading it, Yang Yuying only read a third of it.
"This book is kind of interesting. Feng Gang pondered and said, "A familiar feeling." ”
Yang Yuying's hand trembled slightly, very surprised, thinking that Liang always plagiarized?
Not really.
Liang Yifei also said directly, saying: "Director Feng, when you say this, do you mean that I plagiarized?"
"That's not what I mean!" Feng Gang quickly shook his head and explained: "The book is really a good book, I just think the story and the characters are flavorful...... I said you know the taste, it's familiar. How to put it, it's very close to my style and Wang Shuo's. ”
After a pause, he found that what he said was still inappropriate, and added again: "It's more mature than our book!" Mr. Liang, I really didn't expect that you are a big expert in this area!"
It's strange if you're not familiar with it, this book was written by Feng Gang himself a year later, Feng Gang has been mixed with Wang Shuo for a long time, and the books he wrote have a strong Wang Shuo style, many of which are not named, but in fact they were discussed by him and Wang Shuo.
Looking at this book is like seeing a year or two later, a more mature self, of course he is familiar with it.
"That's fine. Liang Yifei smiled and said, "I'll throw the book to you, you give me an account, and I'll call you the money as soon as possible." ”
"This small production, 10 million can't be used. Feng Gang said very frankly.
"How much can be used, how much can be used, more refunded and less made up. Liang Yifei said: "These characters in it, you look at it and arrange it for Miss Yang." ”
Speaking of drama meat, Yang Yuying's eyes lit up again, Feng Gang pondered for a moment, and asked her, "Which role does Miss Yang think is more suitable?"
This is a more artistic question.
Acting, of course, is the best to play the leading role, there are many supporting actresses in this play, and there is a female supporting role in every small story, but there is only one heroine throughout the whole play from beginning to end.
If it is to curry favor with investors, then there is no need for Feng Gang to ask, there is no female number two in this play, it is a heroine + N female supporting role.
But since he asked so, it shows that he has a certain tendency in his heart.
Yang Yuying was silent for a moment, from the bottom of her heart, of course she wants to play the female number one, is it possible to play the aunt of the neighborhood committee?
But this word, I hesitated in my heart for a moment and turned around, but I still didn't say it.
At that time, Sheng Wenfeng told her that the first drama was to test the water, and if the response was good, she could continue to shoot later, and there would be larger-scale investment and more dramas.
Then the meaning of the reverse is also very clear, if the first drama is smashed, it may be difficult to shoot later.
And this drama is not only invested by Sheng Wenfeng, but half of it is also by Liang Yifei.
She and Sheng Wenfeng coquettishly played petty and compensated Sheng Wenfeng's money, but she couldn't do it to Liang Yifei.
After weighing it, she finally said: "Mr. Liang, Director Feng, I think so, I haven't acted before, I don't have much experience, if you rashly play too important roles, if you don't act well, it will affect the whole play." Therefore, it is better to play a supporting role first with a learning-oriented attitude. ”
Feng Gang glanced at Liang Yifei, Liang Yifei was slightly surprised, this Miss Yang still knows the balance of advance and retreat, if she opens her mouth to ask for the female number one, it is indeed very troublesome, the female number one in this drama is definitely not the vase of the male number one, whether in the plot or acting skills, it is a bright spot that can be distinguished.
pondered for a while and said: "That's it, there is a story in it, isn't there a big star who is quite an ordinary person, just right, Miss Yang, you are a big star yourself, you should be familiar with this role, and there are more scenes in this role, there are relatively big changes in her mentality before and after the play, and the character or something has a certain amount of room to play." What do you see?"
"Mr. Liang, you can arrange it, I can. Yang Yuying said.
"Director Feng?" Liang Yifei asked Feng Gang with a smile.
"I also think it's the best arrangement. Feng Gang nodded.
"That's okay, I don't care about the others, I'll give you a suggestion, the protagonist can find Ge You, who was born to act in comedy. Liang Yifei chatted in general, 'suggested' several other candidates for the protagonist and supporting roles, and finally asked: "How do you think the remuneration is calculated?"
Of course, this was not for Yang Yuying, Feng Gang hesitated for a moment, and said: "Mr. Liang, it is customary to have a fixed remuneration, but this time, how about we adopt the sharing system? I don't want to guarantee the minimum income, and finally give me a certain share according to the box office." ”
"Yes. Liang Yifei nodded and said with a smile: "It seems that you are very confident in this play." ”
Feng Gang smiled, clicked on the script, and said, "To be honest, when I first saw this book, I felt that my eyes lit up, and now there is a great need for this kind of entertaining literary and artistic works in China." The kind of tall and ungrounded things that used to be more and more unmarketable. ”
After a pause, he said very seriously: "This book, I am confident that it will be brilliant!"
