Chapter 117: Preliminary Preparations
"Veteran" is an action movie, and there are a lot of fight scenes in it. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Since there is a play, there is definitely a need for action guidance.
Shen Lin himself has no research on martial arts, and the only thing in the family that has anything to do with martial arts is the deceased grandmother, who likes to play tai chi when she has nothing to do.
So, there is a need for a professional action director.
Many people may wonder what exactly is the difference between martial arts instruction and movement instruction.
I don't know very well, I just know that most of the time there is no separation between movement director and martial arts instructor, and it is normal to hold two positions.
During the golden age of HK cinema, action movies were popular, which also promoted the professionalization of the profession of action director.
In the early days, there were Li Xiaolong, Yuan Heping, Liu Jialiang, and by the way, Chen Xiaodong.
After the 80s, HK action movies were basically monopolized by the family class and the Hong family class, and Tang Jili, Yuan Bing, Yuan Kui, and Uncle Zhengying occasionally showed their faces.
Later, another Zhen bullet came out, and it was a good mix!
In the 21st century, many HK directors have gone north, and action directors have followed to break into the inner film industry.
Like Director HK's innate sense of superiority, HK's action directors look down on mainlanders, except for a few big directors who can summon them, others don't listen to what they say at all.
And when arranging the action, the mainlanders are not allowed to approach, for fear of being learned!
When filming "No Thieves in the World", the action director invited was Jiang Daohai, a HK person, who had many conflicts with Feng Ye because of his knowledge, and it was from that day on, Feng Ye no longer cooperated with the HK team.
"Assembly Number" He found Park Joo-cheon, a Korean.
And HK martial arts instruction is expensive!
With so many restrictions, I simply don't look for you!
Ning Hao's "The Great Gold Robbery" uses Liang Jiyong, the action director of the stick country, and Director Feng's "Assembly" uses the action director Park Joo-tian of the stick country.
Even Taiwan, who has always admired HK action movies, used Korean action direction for their films.
For example, the action directors of "Saidek Bale" Liang Jiyong and Shen Zaiyuan, such as the action director of "Monga" are also Liang Jiyong!
The reason is simple, save money, be obedient, and communicate well!
Compared with HK's long-famous action directors, Koreans are obviously far inferior in status, so they are very modest and will design actions according to the director's malicious intentions, unlike those HK martial arts guilds who will guide you in various ways!
Please, I came to you to listen to my command, you guys are good, you went to the set to dictate to the director, what do you mean?
In fact, Shen Lin considered the family class at the beginning, also because of his reputation, and the movie "Veteran" was originally an action comedy, and the specialty of the family class, besides, it is also good to sell the eldest brother into a face!
I didn't expect to be so greedy, 12 million!
"Sister Xiaoping, you help me contact Zheng Douhong, he should be willing to be the action director of this movie. ”
Shen Lin thought for a moment and proposed a name.
"Zheng Douhong?"
Li Xiaoping really hadn't heard of such a person.
"The Korean action director is quite famous in the Korean film industry!"
Zheng Douhong, the action director of the original "Veteran".
This person who likes action movies should know that he is the action director of several famous Korean movies.
"Tai Chi Flag Flying", "Uncle", "The Heyday of Bad Guys", "New World" and so on.
His team can be said to be the family class in Korea.
"How much does it cost?"
"Chinatown Veteran" Li Xiaoping still has the responsibility of supervising producer.
In fact, Shen Lin really didn't waste much money when making films.
Li Xiaoping has already read the script this time, and it is very good, but the scale is a bit large, so the plot was changed to Chinatown in Thailand.
In this way, although the investment has increased a lot, who made the director Shen Lin.
However, if she can save it, she will save it, otherwise she will directly agree to the request of the family class.
"1.5 million, 2.8 million at most, absolutely no more!"
Shen Lin pondered for a while and gave a fair price.
It's almost 300 million won.
……
The new film is called "Chinatown Veteran", which is invested by Guangguang, China Film, and Huayi.
In fact, the script of the movie "Chinatown Veteran" does not have too many highlights, and the reason why these three companies are willing to bet on Shen Lin is that they are most optimistic about him.
The script review has been completed, which means that "Chinatown Veteran" is ready for project approval, but before that, the three companies need to negotiate the division of interests.
Everything else is false, and commercial interests are the basis for several parties to come together and cooperate.
After nearly a week of bargaining, the three companies finally reached an agreement on the allocation of investment, the film's production cost budget is 68 million, of which China Film and Huayi each occupy 15 million investment, and light occupies the most 38 million investment.
The right to distribute was also given to the light.
Shen Lin is also very concerned about his film investment, of course, he is more concerned about the remuneration of his director of this film!
Of course, the current Shen Lin is no longer a newcomer, although he is not very concerned about the amount of money, but he should fight for himself, or fight hard!
After some haggling, the final result was a tiered sharing agreement.
The so-called stepped sharing means that the higher the box office, the higher the share that Shen Lin can get.
It can be divided into a maximum of 15 percent, of course, if the box office results reach 5 billion, which is slightly equal to zero.
……
In the conference room, Shen Lin looked around.
In the past two films, Shen Lin used a team, and he also said hello in advance, and it has been proved that he will have a better income and future with him.
"Lao Song, I think the locations you suggested are more suitable in Bangkok. ”
There is no way to do this, the attitude towards the Chinese in Southeast Asia is not friendly, and only Bangkok is relatively open-minded.
And the Thai government even promised that if the crew hired locals, it would provide the crew with a force of about 8oo people to assist in filming.
In fact, it is not difficult to understand that Thailand, which has a relatively difficult economy, needs thousands of jobs that the crew may bring.
"Zheng Douhong" Shen Lin said to martial arts instructor Zheng Douhong, "You arrange it as soon as possible, I need the actor to enter the training state a month in advance." ”
There are a lot of fighting moves in the movie, which are difficult for the average person to perform and require the actors to train in advance to achieve the effect.
Next, other people who have read the script will also put forward their own opinions, in fact, today's meeting is originally a general process of preliminary preparation, and there are many problems that need to be solved!
"That's right, Shen Lin. ”
Li Xiaoping, who had not spoken, asked, "Have you thought about the specific release date of the film?"
"What do you suggest?" Shen Lin didn't answer, but asked.
