"Producer?"

Although the end of the year is approaching, since he signed a contract with a film studio, Chen Jialuo also knows that Xu You will arrange a job for himself. But I didn't expect the first task to be Chen Xiaodong's producer.

Producers are often confused with the other two roles of film work, producer and production manager.

The former is in charge of script coordination, pre-preparation, and the formation of a film crew, while the latter is a mid-level position in film production, responsible for specific operational matters, and is accountable to the director and producer.

The role of producer, as one person puts it: "He usually represents the producer or the production company, and he is responsible for the overall budget of the film crew and the preparation of the specific shooting schedule of the film, supervises the director's artistic creation and financial expenditure on behalf of the producer, and also assists the director in arranging specific daily affairs."

To put it bluntly, the producer is responsible for the shooting schedule, when the shooting will start, when it will be completed, what the progress is, and the control of the budget, supervising the director's artistic creation and expenditure on behalf of the producer, and also assisting the director in arranging specific daily affairs.

Compared with the unlimited rights of TV producers, film producers actually do not have a high voice in film shooting. Occasionally, there are some cases on the set where the producer is anti-guest-oriented, and once this happens, basically either the director leaves or the producer leaves.

Xu You looked at Chen Jialuo's surprised appearance, and immediately smiled and comforted: "Don't worry, let's take a look at the specific content of this movie first." Originally, I was going to be the producer myself, although Xiaodong has a lot of experience in martial arts instruction, but after all, it is the first time to take charge of the guide. ”

Mu Nan on the side also picked up the conversation and reconciled the atmosphere and said: "You two Chen together, maybe you can really make a big scene!"

In a hurry?

In fact, Chen Jialuo is really not in a hurry.

He has the heart to become bigger in the future and set up his own independent film production company, and Chen Jialuo, who is in charge of these things, will have to understand sooner or later.

However, Chen Jialuo really didn't expect that Xu Youyou hadn't read the script he had prepared, but he had read the script prepared by Xu You.

"Nie Xiaoqian's chapter of "Strange Tales from Liaozhai"?" Chen Jialuo's thing in his hand said that it was a script, but it was actually some scattered clues and some ideas.

Mu Nan on the side looked at Chen Jialuo, whose mouth was slightly open, and immediately quipped: "As far as he thinks a lot, costume films are still heroines, and it is difficult for the box office not to hit the streets." ”

There was ridicule between the words, in fact, Mu Nan admired Xu You's various whimsical ideas very much, and he also admired his courageous husband.

Xu You was afraid that Chen Jialuo would enter a misunderstanding, so he hurriedly explained: "I'm not following the trend because of "Mr. Zombie" or anything, this is completely two styles, you can take a look first." ”

In his previous life, there was a classic "A Chinese Ghost Story", but it was a remake of "A Chinese Ghost Story" directed by the 1960 generation master Li Hanxiang.

In Xiangjiang in this time and space, no one has put this theme on the big screen before. And filming a so-called 'ghost movie' during this period is definitely not mainstream. Even compared to Chen Jialuo's martial arts movies, it is even more 'deviant'.

Chen Jialuo took a closer look at some of Xu You's adaptations and opinions on Nie Xiaoqian's chapter of "Strange Tales from Liao Zhai", and said: "I think it's okay, comedies are all the rage at this time, and we will put such a broken Hong Kong version of 'The Love of People and Ghosts' on the big screen, maybe it will have a miraculous effect." ”

"The Hong Kong version of 'human and ghost love'?"

This description immediately made Xu You exclaim: "Yes, it is the Hong Kong version of 'people and ghosts' are not over." When the time comes, use this gimmick for the pre-release publicity!"

"Anan, you give these things to Ah Ruan and tell him to come up with the script within a week, you must. Speaking of Xingtou, Xu You immediately decided.

Mu Nan smiled and said, "Okay!"

Xu You, who was still a little hesitant, was extremely excited when he heard Chen Jialuo's fancy for this subject. Everyone is worthy of being a group of directors from the New Wave Movement of Film, and their vision and pattern are obviously different from ordinary directors.

"Arlo, it's time for you to get into character in the next few days. At that time, the office in the east will be the place where you will coordinate this film. When the script comes out, you and Xiaodong communicate more, and let's strive to make a good film. ”

"Don't worry, brother. ”

Although his first film was not filmed immediately, being the producer of "A Chinese Ghost Story" is also a good resume in his film career. Chen Jialuo is determined to do a good job in "A Chinese Ghost Story", but he will not stick to the rules because he is just a producer.

Although "A Chinese Ghost Story" in the previous life was directed by Cheng Xiaodong, who doesn't think that this movie is full of the style of that Master Xu, and it can be seen at a glance that it is his handwriting.

Chen Jialuo naturally has such ambitions.

The premise based on this ambition is because Chen Jialuo knows the key point of Chen Xiaodong's martial arts instruction.

Although the famous martial arts director is extremely talented in martial arts instruction, he is particularly inexperienced in filmmaking. He has been on the set for many years but has never been in charge of the guide tube, and many of his wild ideas are also in the design of martial arts movements.

Thinking of several classic roles in "A Chinese Ghost Story", Chen Jialuo pondered: "Regarding the selection of actors, I hope I can participate." ”

Most of the time, when filming in Xiangjiang, it is not said that all departments are fully prepared and then filmed.

Mai Tian had a saying, "When I first started in the industry, those people would say that I was going to shoot five dramas this year, three big dramas, and two small ones, just like my previous dick." In fact, even if it is said, the plan can't catch up with the changes, do what you think of, and do what you should do. ”

The filming of the Xiangjiang movie is such a situation. In many films, the script may only be half written and then the filming begins. The filming process brought a large number of people, creating while filming, a bit similar to the filming of the Xiangjiang TV series.

is even like the famous unreliable director in his previous life, Wong Kar-wai, who was able to shoot a movie without a script. Those actors who participated in it can get a small note today, and they may have to play on the spot the next day.

When a movie is finished and you ask them when the film was made, the answers they give can be varied.

Even director Wong Kar-wai himself may not have thought about it when filming, so there will be seven or eight edited versions, and finally one that he thinks is good will be screened.

Regarding Chen Jialuo's request to participate in the selection of actors, Xu You smiled and said: "As a producer, of course you have to check it." In fact, he is said to be the producer, and he also needs you to help Xiaodong a lot when filming. ”

After all, Chen Jialuo is a director, and Xu You understands very well the exercise of power that a director dreams of. What's more, Chen Jialuo said that just participating is not a decision, and he has no reason to refuse.
