Chapter 5 Officially Launched
Although Rongda is a small workshop, you have to admire the Li sisters' provocative vision. Chen Kun, Zhou Xun and the new generation of beep king Yang Yang who will be popular in the future, in addition to the familiar Tang Yifei, Jiang Mengjie, etc., are also from the honor.
The Li sisters are really Yang Mi's nobles, Yang Mi filmed "Monkey Baby" when she was 6 years old, Li Xiaowan was the producer at that time, and she was very impressed by Yang Mi. Later, when Yang Mi was 15 years old, she worked as a model in "Ruili", and Li Xiaowan found her again and signed into the company. When she was 18 years old, she was sent to study at BJ Film Academy. On the road of the artist's acting development, whether it is Li Xiaowan or Li Shaohong, they are very clear about what to do for the actor at which stage, and carry out reasonable training. It's just that later, this kind of family-workshop company gradually fell behind, and at the same time, they couldn't get any good resources, which caused these artists to leave one after another, and Da Mimi really became popular after leaving Xingda.
received the news that Yang Mi passed the audition, Li Xiaowan was happier than Yang Mi, after all, movies are the top existence in the entertainment industry. Li Xiaowan has read the script, and it is also the opportunity that she tried her best to help Yang Mi get, as an insider, Li Xiaowan obviously learned a lot of news. Don't look at our director Xiao Li is only 20 years old, that is the son of Wanda's second-in-command, otherwise how could optical fiber be willing to contribute? ”
"Wanniang, I know. Yang Mi is also very curious about this young director of the same age as herself, she is not as handsome as Brother Hu, but she is not too bad, if she has a good personality, she can still consider making a friend...
The pre-preparation and post-production of a film are often more cumbersome than shooting, but fortunately, optical fiber started from the production of film and television dramas, in addition to the photography and art design that was contacted before, the set, lighting, makeup, costumes, etc. have successively found suitable candidates, most of whom are people from the optical fiber TV drama department. Li Xiang also showed what he learned at USC, such as the lens language, the lighting arrangement of the studio, and the straightening out of editing ideas, etc., all of which need to be prepared in detail in the early stage. At the same time, Li Xiang also needs to sketch out the storyboard sketch of the script, you don't need to draw it well, at least let others understand what your thinking is. Li Xiaoping's confidence in Li Xiang has increased a few points.
"The budget of the film is 15 million, 5 million for optical fiber, and 10 million for Flying Studio, accounting for 50% of the investment. Li Xiaoping explained the investment ratio, don't feel lost, the most important thing in the film and television industry is resources, not that you can play if you have money, at least in 06 years, people contributed and invested 5 million, accounting for 50% is reasonable, and even very conscientious. By the way, Feixiang Studio is the studio set up by Li Xiang himself, at present, the copyright of "Hurricane Rescue" also belongs to the studio, Li's father is the investor of the studio, with a capital injection of 20 million, of course, it cannot be compared with the fact that the king gave Xiao Wang a few hundred million yuan to start a business, but considering that this is 2006, the amount of funds is also very considerable.
With Wanda moving the headquarters to the capital, the Li family also settled in the capital, the capital's home is a little far away from the apartment Li Xiang rents, usually not to go home to see his parents, Li Xiang will not go back, but today Li Xiang has to go home, because after 2 months of preliminary preparation, "Hurricane Rescue" will be officially launched tomorrow. After Li Xiang discussed with Li Xiaoping, he decided not to hold a press conference, because most of the crew members were not famous.
"Turn it on tomorrow?" Dad Li handed Li Xiang an orange and asked.
"Well, the preliminary preparations are complete, and I have been waiting for this day for a long time!"
"Wanda has been building cinemas for many years, and it will inevitably enter the film and television industry in the near future. So son, you have to work hard, and strive to become a great help to me and your boss when the time comes!" As Wanda's second-in-command and Wang's confidant, Dad Li naturally knows Wanda's strategic plan.
The film industry is different from other places, a good director can really decide the life or death of a film and television company. In 05, Wang Jinghua and Hua Yi's five-year cooperation contract expired, leading dozens of artists such as Chen Daomin, Liu Jialing, Liang Jiahui, Xia Yu and so on to jump to Chengtian, the media exclaimed "Huayi was hollowed out", but what happened later? In 08, Wang Jinghua left Chengtian, and Chengtian quickly declined, and Huayi not only did not decline, but even successfully listed in 09 and became the boss of domestic private film and television companies. Why? Because Huayi has the great god Feng Xiaogang. To put it bluntly, the actor is just a tool for the director to realize the language of the film, and if the tool is gone, he will not be able to work if his hand is broken.
There is also Zhang Weiping of the picture, the reason why he can dictate to the theater line and say that increasing the box office score will increase the box office score is entirely because there is the support of a director's fame behind him. The funniest thing is that this guy later felt that he had made a certain director, but the director who had always had a good temper couldn't bear it anymore and left the picture, and since then the picture has completely disappeared from everyone's sight.
"Don't chatter for the two of you, hurry up and wash your hands and eat!" Mom's voice came from the living room, father and son looked at each other and smiled, and walked downstairs to have dinner with the three of them.
On Tuesday, October 10, 2006, the weather was fine and the crew gathered.
Li Xiang faced the crowd, took a deep breath, and said loudly: "Everyone, after two months of preparation, our movie "Hurricane Rescue" has officially started. Everyone has also seen that I, the director, am still very young, and I still need a lot of help from everyone, as long as it doesn't affect the filming and production of the film, other things are easy to say, but if anyone drops the chain for me, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
This sentence can be regarded as playing a role in knocking the mountain and shaking the tiger, there are many people in the crew who do have such and such ideas, and many people have spent a lot of time to get into their current position. As a result, people at the age of 20 directly ascended to the sky, and the imbalance in their hearts can be imagined. Li Xiang's words made them sober again, no matter how dissatisfied they were, they couldn't bring their emotions to work, otherwise they would be scolded for a small matter, and their reputation would not be able to go on in this industry.
Although Li Xiang in his previous life also made many movies, the crew at that time was pitiful, and this time it was a real test for himself. However, Li Xiang has confidence in himself and his work, and now he is one step away from proving success. One success can change many things, and the habit of this circle is to chase the successful (which circle is the same), starve to death, support to death, there is never such a thing as fairness.
