Chapter 61: Reward God Starts

After the two parties discuss the specific cooperation method, sign the contract, and then work together to improve the script. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Zhao Zejun has a deep impression of this movie, but no matter how deep the impression is, it is impossible to make every small plot exactly the same, and every line of dialogue is good.

Feng Dagang lived in Jianwu City during this time, and worked with Xinlong Film Company and Zhao Zejun to revise and improve the script and agree on the actors.

The way they discuss the script as professionals is interesting.

When Zhao Zejun first wrote it, he thought of something, and then said it, and asked the two assistant screenwriters to write the script in words.

Feng Dagang uses 'acting', and the professional term is called 'Duqiao'.

Two people play two roles, one by one in the hotel play, the others are watching on the side, anyone who thinks something is inappropriate, can be put forward on the spot, when acting, they can also perceive where they can be improved, or use other ways to interpret, on-site correction, start again.

Sometimes after a sentence is finished, you will perceive that the character of this character, it is not appropriate to say this sentence, or it is better to say it another way.

A bridge, a picture, often has to be corrected several times, or even dozens of times, until finally everyone has a 'yes, this is the taste', it is finally passed.

To be honest, it's a lot of fun, but it's also very hard work, and when you don't have the inspiration and can't find the feeling, a group of people sit for a long time without making progress, burying their heads and smoking, and sometimes the feeling comes, and it can rush until dawn.

Zhao Zejun is the original screenwriter and must be present, Qiao Xinlong and Xia Fei have great hopes for this movie, and it is also the first time to cooperate with a big-name director like Director Feng, with an attitude of curiosity to learn and be responsible for himself, he participated in the discussion from beginning to end.

It took a whole week to finalize the final version of the script.

Next is the selection of actors.

Zhao Zejun had to admire the strong inertia of history, and when he did not take the initiative to propose actors, Director Feng drew up a list according to the character traits in the script.

starring Ge You, Shu Qi, and the bigwig Fan Wei are exactly the same as the original drama, and at least half of the supporting roles are the same person as the original movie.

Even Fan Wei's female secretary who couldn't hold back the momentum of the waves at the beginning was the original character.

The next thing is Director Feng's work, building the crew, bringing together a series of people such as photography, art, costumes, exterior locations, etc., to contact the actors and adjust the schedule.

The whole drama is expected to be completed in three months, and it will be released in time for May Day.

On January 22, 2007, the film crew was officially established, with Feng Dagang and Ge You sitting in charge, with a group of stars and staff who have joined the group, to reward God.

A roast suckling pig was placed on the table, and not far away, Shanghe's employees gathered around and pointed at this side.

After paying the gods, the producer Xinlong Pictures invited all the crew members and actors to have dinner together, and Feng Dagang introduced them one by one. Shu Qi is currently in another crew, and it will take a week to finish filming and join the crew.

"Mr. Zhao, I have already contacted Mr. Wu from Japan, and the crew will leave for Hokkaido tomorrow. During the banquet, Feng Dagang said to Zhao Zejun.

"So rushed?" Zhao Zejun was very surprised, calculating the time, this is almost the New Year, this drama is very heavy in Hokkaido, and it will definitely not be filmed before the New Year, that is to say, the crew has to celebrate the New Year in Japan.

Feng Dagang explained that there is a snow scene in Hokkaido in this play, and this time is the last time for the snow in Hokkaido.

In addition, Hokkaido's hot springs, rice fields, and other scenery are also the most suitable for making movies at the moment.

"That's hard work for everyone. Zhao Zejun nodded.

In addition to Hokkaido, there are many scenes in Hangzhou, one of which happens to be outside the villa in the industrial park.

"Otherwise, if you go to Hokkaido together, it will be a New Year's holiday. Qiao Xinlong said to Zhao Zejun: "I asked Xinyun to accompany you, she knows Japanese, she travels everywhere every year during the Chinese New Year, and she likes Hokkaido." ”

"I'm afraid not this year. Zhao Zejun shook his head.

"What's the matter, what's the matter for the New Year?" Qiao Xinlong thought for a while, "By the way, pick up your parents together, your whole family will go on a trip, and Xinyun happens to be a tour guide." ”

"It's not that easy. Zhao Zejun smiled, "You forgot, I also have a media company, Tianze Media." I've been mentioning that I want to develop new projects, and I've been back until now, and I'm busy with your film company, leaving my own company behind. ”

"Why don't you say you're righteous!" Xia Fei was so drunk that his face was flushed, and he interjected: "Okay, this movie, it's a loss, it's Xinlong's, it's a gain, it's the three of us, I can't let you stick it to your heart's content." ”

"Forget about this one, it's purely voluntary labor, don't rush me after you two in the future, how many big things do I have to do." Zhao Zejun said with a smile.

"How is it not a big deal to make movies, enrich the people's spare time, maintain social stability and unity, and promote the socialist market economy, movies have made great contributions!" Xia Fei said with a snort of wine.

Although the movie has not officially finished filming and is far away from the release, Xia Fei can see that at least half of the reason why Director Feng is willing to come this time is because of the script provided by Zhao Zejun.

For movies, Xia Fei is enthusiastic, not with a sense of great mission to revive national films, and has nothing to do with enriching the amateur life of the people, not even to make money.

He just likes this, no way.

But after working on movies for a few years, there has been no improvement, and I have been wandering in bad movies, only enthusiasm, but no fun.

It's like playing games, no matter how much you like to play games, you're abused every day, and you just built a house, and your home was copied by others, so it's no wonder if you're not depressed. The old man of his family has no objection to him playing movies, after all, it is a serious matter.

But if you want to win the trust of others, it is not enough to just talk about it, you must prove yourself with facts and achievements.

However, this time, in just two weeks of work, Xia Fei felt the joy of film creation for the first time and saw hope for the future.

Qiao Xinlong also thought the same thing. Of course, his interest and addiction are slightly weaker than Xia Fei's, and his desire to make money is slightly more than Xia Fei's.

Moreover, it is not easy to find like-minded people. This is also the reason why Xia Fei and Qiao Xinlong, the two of them have been making bad movies, and they can still play together all the time. Is there any entrepreneur and successful person in China who will be with them for a few days and nights to discuss the script?

Except for Zhao Zejun, there seems to be no one else.

Listening to Zhao Zejun's tone, he was ready to flash after finishing this vote, of course he was unwilling.

"That's right, you can't let your own industry be ignored...... Qiao Xinlong thought for a while and said: "Otherwise, this film won't be said, and there will be a film in the future, no matter whose creativity it is, Xinlong Film and Tianze Media will jointly invest, and the three of us will be producers and share the accounts together." Xia Fei, what do you think?"

"Okay, I'm fine, just start with this one. Xia Fei said.

The two looked at Zhao Zejun, drank some wine, and showed emotion, with a look of 'you must not run'.

"I've convinced you two, okay. Zhao Zejun shrugged helplessly.

Looks like I'm going to have to take some time off in the future.

The domestic box office in the past two years is not too amazing, calculated by Zhao Zejun's 'time value', the time used to conceive and improve the script, if you get other aspects, the income is roughly the same, and the movie is still a little loss.

A few years later, the domestic box office exploded, and a movie made hundreds of millions of dollars, which can still be considered.

The key is that Qiao Xinlong and Xia Fei's two connections are very important, Green Country and Zeye have begun to cooperate, and there will always be cooperation in the next few years, with Qiao Xinlong in the middle, the communication between the two sides is very smooth.

And Xia Fei's background is too amazing, it belongs to the kind of people who can't usually be used at all, and can save their lives if they use it once, and if they pull Xia Fei by their side, they will have one more chance to start over and one more life.

So from the very beginning, Zhao Zejun was not ready to withdraw, but hoped that the three of them could be tied together more closely, not only in a very casual cooperation like this time, but at the company level.

But he couldn't say this himself, he came to speak, making him seem to be looking at the tens of millions of earnings, so he could only induce Qiao Xinlong to open his mouth and let the two of them take the initiative to invite.

However, he didn't lie to Qiao Xinlong and Xia Fei, Tianze Media, Zhou Yuanyuan has been planning since the middle of last year to plan a new entertainment program.

Tianze is not short of money, in addition to production costs and company expenses, there have been more than 20 million in the bank.

Judging from the current domestic program production costs, this money is enough to produce a program that is equally excellent and not to disturb.

Zhou Yuanyuan had already mentioned it to Zhao Zejun twice, but he pressed it down.

The reason is simple, Zhao Zejun didn't like several of Zhou Yuanyuan's plans.

It's not that it's bad, after all, Zhou Yuanyuan is already a relatively well-known program producer in China, with rich experience in the industry, if it is made according to her plan, it should be a good variety show, and it should not be a problem for the ratings to break 1.

But from the perspective of Zhao Zejun's 'people who have come over', the program is a bit old-fashioned, there are many homogeneous programs in China, and even if the future is good, it is too good to be limited.

In the next few years, a large number of variety shows will emerge in China, but if they are still old-fashioned and do not bring forth the new, they will soon be eliminated.

He was too busy before, Zhao Zejun couldn't take care of planning Tianze's program by himself, and now that the main work has come to an end, there are no projects that require him to spend a lot of time on special investment for the time being, so he can free up time and think carefully about the development of Tianze in the future.
