Chapter 341: A New Generation of Goddesses
Zhang Yimou thought about it for a long time before dialing Zhang Chen's number.
Zhang Yimou didn't expect that after returning to Beijing early this morning, the marketing department of Alien Technology sent someone to contact him, and Liu Ming, the chairman of Alien, rushed to Kyoto to meet him at noon.
He is now at the peak of his creation, and although he is not prepared, he still took half an hour to make a general idea.
Liu Ming applauded after hearing this, he is worthy of being the most powerful director in China today, this advertising planning does not cost much, but it definitely has the finishing touch to improve the brand grade of aliens.
Zhang Yimou's plan is to use a relatively absurd method to express the impact of modern technology on the past.
He envisioned several scenes, the commercial began, a few decades-old children rolling hoops in the alley, and suddenly a huge Ferris wheel appeared in the old city of Kyoto;
Then, on the football field a few decades ago, there was a modern live broadcast back to the zoomed-in screen, and all the players stopped playing and began to watch curiously around the big screen;
A film company in Chaplin's time was making a movie, and suddenly a modern boom camera appeared, and the boom camera was shooting, which startled the director and actors at the time;
Many plane passengers dressed in World War I suits watched in amazement at the Boeing 747 slowly entering the humble airport;
In the end, Mr. Private School with his pigtails was drowsy, while the children of the late Qing Dynasty looked curiously at the alien computer that appeared in front of them, and tried to press the keyboard with their hands, and a colorful multimedia world appeared inside.
Zhang Yimou also thought of two advertising slogans for this advertisement, which are comparable to Lianxiang's "If you lose Lianxiang, what will happen to the world".
"If the present can shake the past, what will the future bring us?"
"Innovation changes the world. ”
Finally, the Alien Tech logo appears.
Whether it is Liu Ming or Zhang Chen, they actually don't have much expectation for the increase in sales brought by Zhang Yimou's advertising to aliens, because the purpose of their advertising is mainly to enhance the brand image of aliens.
And this advertisement is a new promotion of the brand image of aliens.
Zhang Yimou estimated the cost of filming, because he didn't invite any big-name stars, it was estimated that he could get it within 200,000 yuan, and if he counted his salary, it would be 300,000 at most.
Zhang Yimou made an offer of 500,000 yuan to Liu Ming with a weak heart, but he didn't expect Liu Ming to agree on the spot, and said that he hoped to have a long-term cooperation with him, and the aliens were willing to hire him to shoot two commercials a year within three years with a salary of 150,000 yuan each.
Although Zhang Yimou arrived at the accident, he was also very happy, although the price of aliens was not particularly high, but two films a year, the burden on him was not heavy. Moreover, he has just set up his own company in the sea, and he can have a stable source of income, at least to ensure the normal operation of the company.
Zhang Yimou couldn't help but be more curious about Zhang Chen, this young man said a word, and the boss of the alien computer came to see him to talk about cooperation, where is the other party sacred?
Zhang Yimou knocked on Liu Ming's side and inquired about Zhang Chen's affairs, but Liu Ming is not the first brother in the business field now, so he naturally kept his mouth shut about the things that he couldn't get rid of, but just said that Zhang Chen was his partner and one of the shareholders.
Zhang Yimou's mind is active, now all film directors are looking around for investment, half a year ago he and Feng Xiaogang, Jia Zhangke and others also met Mu Zhong, Mu Zhong opened his mouth to take out 200 million funds to invest in the movie, which made everyone excited enough, He Yi even opened his mouth to ask for 100 million, and wanted to shoot "Heroes of Heaven and Earth".
Zhang Yimou felt that Mu Zhong was unreliable at that time and did not participate in the follow-up matters, and sure enough, these directors handed over their scripts to Mu Zhong for review one by one, and there was no follow-up after that.
Among them, Feng Xiaogang was the most unlucky, seeing that others were tens of millions of dollars to invest, he was afraid that he would suffer a loss if he wanted less, so he stayed up three nights and held back a script of Jing Ke assassinating Qin, but the mud cow entered the sea without even making a sound.
If it weren't for the fact that he met Zhang Weiping, who did all kinds of business at a party, and gave him one or two million to shoot "Something to Say", Zhang Yimou really didn't dare to resign and go to sea.
But now, this young man named Zhang Chen seems to be quite rich, is it possible to fool him into investing some money in his movie?
At noon, Zhang Yimou was the east, Liu Ming and Shen Yao, the marketing manager, had a meal with the people of Zhang Yimou's company, and it was naturally the guests and hosts, Zhang Yimou said that he would start the preparations for the advertising film immediately, and it was expected to start in ten days.
After sending Liu Ming away, Zhang Yimou received a call from Zhang Yang, at first he thought that Zhang Yang was going to take the lead for Zhang Jian and Diao Yi and find trouble with Zhang Chen, but he didn't expect Zhang Yang to be interested in Lin Xiaoxia.
He knows the script of "City Love" that Zhang Yang is working on, Zhang Yang has a wide range of people in the industry, and he also asked him to help read the script.
After Zhang Yangyi said, Zhang Yimou also felt that Lin Xiaoxia's image and temperament were quite in line with the image of a female high school student in the script.
As for acting, Zhang Yimou doesn't attach great importance to it, this kind of role, as long as he overcomes the phobia of the camera and learns to move, his true colors will be brilliant.
What Zhang Yimou is worried about is whether Zhang Chen is willing to let his little girlfriend act in a movie, in case he is still angry about Diao Yiyan and Zhang Jian, there is no need to wade into this troubled water by himself.
But after thinking about it, Zhang Yimou still decided to contact Zhang Chen to test his tone, and if Zhang Chen was unwilling, he pushed the matter with Zhang Yang.
Zhang Chen was very surprised when he received a call from Zhang Yimou, he didn't expect that he would take Lin Xiaoxia out for romance, and he was targeted and wanted Lin Xiaoxia to act in a movie.
After listening to the director's name and Zhang Yimou's general description of the script, Zhang Chen can basically determine that this movie called "City Love" is the famous "Love Malatang" by Zhang Yang in the later generations.
This film was later broadcast on the movie channel more than once, and the role that Zhang Yang asked Lin Xiaoxia to play seems to be Gao Yuanyuan's role.
Could it be that Lin Xiaoxia wants to become a new generation of otaku gods and goddesses? Zhang Chen suddenly felt a little funny.
Zhang Chen said politely, "Director Zhang, thank you, let me ask what Xiao Xia means, if she is willing to try, I will tell you immediately." ”
Zhang Yimou reminded: "You have thought about it, the entertainment industry is very complicated and there are many temptations, if you are afraid that your little girlfriend will learn badly, it is best not to agree." ”
Zhang Chen smiled: "Director Zhang, after all, this is Xiao Xia's own business, I still let her make her own decisions." And maybe people still think it's inappropriate after the audition, after all, Xiao Xia doesn't have much acting experience. ”
Zhang Yimou said helplessly: "Okay, then I'll give them your contact information and let them contact you." By the way, the advertising matter has been settled, thank you. ”
asked Zhang Yimou to say thank you to a young man of Zhang Chen's age, but he was really a little speechless. Please Baidu "Throw Book Network" Thank you for your support!
