Half a month later, the first round of Olympic bidding will be presented, and Zhang Ran needs to prepare accordingly. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info He really can't take care of the student military training, so he can only hand it over to his two assistant teachers.

In order to express his apology, Zhang Ran invited Guo Zhen and the two of them to have a meal at noon, and then rushed back to Tiangong Chongcai to watch the Olympic bidding video made by the special effects artist.

It didn't take long for Zhang Ran to receive a call from Zhang Hongsen, deputy director of the General Administration.

Zhang Hongsen told Zhang Ran that the day before yesterday, Tangshan approached the General Administration and hoped to cooperate with Zhang Ran to jointly do the Tangshan earthquake project.

Zhang Ran smiled, and Tangshan's reaction was faster than he imagined. The Tangshan earthquake is a major historical theme, and it is in a special period, so it is easy to be struck by thunder. A few years ago, there was a power outage in Shijingshan, Beiping, which plunged thousands of households in the dark, and the subway and passengers were stranded in the dark tunnels, and even affected Zhongnanhai. This event triggered the inspiration of director Chen Guoxing, who wanted to use this event to show the weakness of people before the catastrophe, and also to show the love that people radiate at the moment of life and death.

After the movie was filmed, he received a notice that he was not allowed to shoot what happened in Beiping, and Chen Guoxing could only temporarily change the power outage disaster to other provinces, and change all the scenes with the capital logo to reshoot. Movie promotional articles and advertisements are carefully marked as a power outage in a coastal city.

Zhang Ran was very worried that after he filmed it, Tangshan would not be satisfied, so he reacted to the above, and then the matter would be troublesome, so he hoped that Tangshan would be involved, so that many risks could be avoided. He announced in Venice that he was going to shoot the news of the earthquake, hoping that Tangshan would take the initiative to come to him to cooperate.

Now that Tangshan has taken the initiative to come to the door, Zhang Ran's goal has been achieved.

Tangshan put forward their ideas, hoping that the film will promote mainstream values, carry forward the main theme, express the great love of the world, and publicize the great achievements and humanistic spirit of Tangshan over the past 30 years after the Tangshan earthquake. Zhang Ran can understand these, but there is one request that he can't accept, Tangshan wants the film to be invested by them, and they want to take 50% of the shares.

Tangshan accounts for 50% of the shares, the controlling stake is in their hands, how to make the movie is up to them, Zhang Ran definitely can't accept it, he doesn't want to smash his signboard: "Zhang Ju, I definitely can't agree to their request, I don't lack funds, and I can do it myself if others don't participate." Of course, it will be more convenient to have government departments involved in the whole shooting, and I agree with them to take shares, but the film must be our main investment, and we have the final say on how to shoot it. ”

Zhang Hongsen said affirmatively: "I will communicate with the other party on this point." I didn't expect you to come back from Venice so soon, otherwise they would have stayed in Peking for two more days. I'll call them and ask them to come to Beiping, and you can talk about the specific issues yourself. ”

Two days later, Zhang Hongsen called and said that people from Tangshan had arrived and that a meeting would be held tomorrow.

On the day of the meeting, when Zhang Ran came to the conference room of China Film, people from Tangshan were already there, sitting in the lounge chatting with Han Shanping.

According to Tangshan's idea, they account for 50% of the shares, and if Zhang Ran also accounts for 50% of the shares, they will not be able to completely grasp the dominance, so they pulled in China Film. In the case that they have 50% of the shares, and China Film has a part of the shares, they will be able to fully control it.

Han Shanping saw Zhang Ran coming in, stood up, and said with a smile: "Zhang Ran, you're here!" When Zhang Ran came over, he introduced with a smile: "Let me introduce, this is Zhang Ran, this is Secretary Zhao Guoqiang!"

Zhao Guoqiang looked at Zhang Ran, stretched out his hand with a smile and said: "I have admired the name of Director Zhang Ran for a long time, and when I saw it today, it really deserved its reputation!"

Zhang Ran shook Zhao Guoqiang's hand and said with a smile: "Secretary Zhao praised it falsely, where did I get a big name, but there are two points for my notoriety!"

After a brief greeting, everyone entered the conference room, and after they took their seats, Han Shanping cleared his throat and said: "I am here today for the movie Tangshan earthquake, everyone has the willingness to cooperate, and they all hope to be able to make a good movie, and I hope that everyone can communicate frankly and achieve a win-win situation! Zhang Ran, you can talk about it first!"

Zhang Ran said directly: "The investment in this play is expected to be about 50 million US dollars, which is converted into 400 million yuan." The production standard of the film can refer to the Hollywood blockbuster "The Day After Tomorrow", and our goal is to make a first-class blockbuster!"

Zhao Guoqiang is not surprised, Zhang Ran will definitely make a real blockbuster when he makes this movie, Zhang Ran has this strength and ability, and it is not surprising to invest 400 million.

"The script of the film is not yet mature, and now there is only an outline. The movie is about real history, and it must not be believed that it is scribbled, it should be artistically processed on the basis of real events, I hope that the characters in it have prototypes, and the experiences of the characters are real and credible, so that the film can be convincing. Next, we will visit Tangshan and collect information!" Zhang Ran opened the bag, took out the outline of the film, and distributed it to the people in Tangshan and China Film, "This is our current idea, you can take a look!"

According to Zhang Ran's design, before the earthquake, the heroine's mother was seriously ill, so she took her daughter back to her hometown to see her mother, in a county near Tangshan. Her husband stayed at home to take care of his sick son. When the earthquake came, the heroine was injured in order to protect her daughter, but she was worried about her husband and son, regardless of the dissuasion of her family, and took her daughter on the way home despite the aftershocks. When the heroine returns to Tangshan after many hardships, she finds that the entire city has become a ruin, and her family is buried in the ruins. The heroine is frantically picking at the ruins, believing that her husband and son are still alive......

Zhang Ran's story is completely different from Feng Xiaogang's, and there is almost no connection. However, there are similarities, both of which reflect the disaster with the aggregation of a family, and tell about family affection and humanity from the perspective of ordinary people. This is to make the film close to ordinary people and life, so as to make the movie more down-to-earth.

Han Sanping knows that this is a standard Hollywood method, and Hollywood filming big events has always started from the event itself, but from a small person, to dig out some things that reflect human nature in this event.

Domestic film and television dramas often like to portray tall and complete characters, such as the mayor crawled out of the ruins, hung up the party flag, and said firmly, comrades, we must actively organize self-help, and party members must fight on the front line. This is an old routine for decades, and the current audience has long been tired of this set and doesn't like to watch this.

Han Sanping absolutely supports Zhang Ran, his idea is to participate in the shares himself, and leave the rest to Zhang Ran, and finally wait for the money.

However, Tangshan has its own ideas, they participated in this project not to make money, but to publicize, after reading the outline, they are not particularly satisfied, and many of the things they want are not reflected in the script.

Zhao Guoqiang looked at Zhang Ran and smiled: "Zhang Ran, we are looking for you to cooperate in the hope of using this film to promote the great achievements and humanistic spirit of Tangshan over the past 30 years after the Tangshan earthquake. Can it be made into an epic movie like "The Aviator", from 76 to 06, and make Tangshan 30 years of changes?"

Zhang Ran didn't shoot this drama to make money, there are many things that must appear in the movie, otherwise this drama will be meaningless: "Secretary Zhao, if you shoot according to your method, the audience will be 10 million, but if you shoot according to my method, the audience may be hundreds of millions around the world!"

Zhao Guoqiang was puzzled, "Will the difference be so big?"

This filming, which spanned 30 years, is basically a copy of Feng Xiaogang's movie, and Feng Xiaogang's performance overseas in the earthquake can only be described as dismal, with only tens of thousands of dollars in income in North America.

Zhang Ran nodded very affirmatively: "It's going to be so big, because if you shoot this story according to your ideas, it will become top-heavy and become a family ethics drama." The biggest impact on the audience was the earthquake, which was finished in the first 30 minutes, and the later can only tell about the changes of the family in the next 30 years, and the whole story lacks focus and explosiveness. I can divide the story into two lines, the mother and daughter were separated for 30 years, and finally recognized each other, but there was still not enough strength! This kind of shooting is okay in China, we all know about the big earthquake, but it can't be taken overseas!"

If there can be 100 million, a fool will choose 10 million, Zhao Guoqiang pondered for a moment, nodded and said: "You are an expert, we listen to you!"

Zhang Ran laughed, this secretary is not the kind of rigid person, if he insists that he must shoot the changes of 30 years, then this matter cannot be discussed. However, this is not short-sighted in Zhang Ran's expectation, and he can take the initiative to find Feng Xiaogang and ask him to make a movie about the earthquake. Zhang Ran felt that this matter could be spread out and said: "I know that your participation in this film is to enhance the popularity and reputation of Tangshan, and improve the influence of Tangshan culture, this idea is very good." It is not new to make a super business card through film and television dramas, and then promote the development of tourism, a "Shaolin Temple" saved Shaolin, and a "Red Lantern Hanging" made Qiao's compound famous at home and abroad. The name of our play is called the Tangshan Earthquake, which is a title promotion, which will shape the spirit and image of the whole city and greatly improve the popularity of the city.

All the large-scale activities of our film, including start-up, shutdown, and premiere, are done in your local area, and within two or three years, not only the domestic media will pay attention to this matter, but also the overseas media. This set is an effect that is difficult to achieve by spending hundreds of millions of dollars on CCTV advertising!

Filming this film will definitely restore some landmark buildings in the 70s, and it can be made into a film and television base that integrates film and television cultural experience, including film and television shooting, catering and accommodation, sightseeing and shopping, entertainment and leisure, and has both cultural experience and characteristic commercial streets.

There is also an incomparable advantage of cooperating with us, if you go to Zhang Yimou and Feng Xiaogang, they will definitely not be able to do it. We have a good cooperative relationship with CJ Entertainment in South Korea, GAGA Pictures in Japan, Lionsgate in the United States, and Europa Pictures in France, and our film will be released on a large scale around the world and distributed on DVD, and hundreds of millions of viewers around the world will know Tangshan through this movie!"

Zhang Ran listed all the benefits of cooperating with him, with these benefits in hand, he believed that Tangshan would come according to his own requirements, he looked at Zhao Guoqiang and asked, "What does Secretary Zhao think?"

Zhao Guoqiang and the people in Tangshan were stunned, Zhang Ran thought farther than them, especially the idea of building a film and television city, developing catering and entertainment, and making it a business card of the city, which was simply eye-catching.

"What are your conditions?" Zhao Guoqiang knew that Zhang Ran would definitely have to negotiate terms with himself when he told this. He is not afraid of Zhang Ran's lion opening his mouth, Zhang Ran does have this capital.

"The movie is our main cast, and I have the final say on how to shoot it, as long as you cooperate!" Zhang Ran said with a smile. (To be continued.) )
