Li Yu seems to be very gentle, he is not impatient or impatient, but he is very persistent in his heart. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

He is responsible for the quality of the film, and he doesn't want to make a bad movie, ruin his reputation, and ruin the martial arts dream in his heart.

Because the time was too late, everyone just exchanged opinions, and there was no in-depth talk, and there will be a chance tomorrow.

Back in the room, Lin Zixuan considered Li Yu's thoughts.

According to Li Yu's request, the production team of Xiangjiang should be invited, including martial arts and behind-the-scenes staff, which must cost a lot of money.

Lin Zixuan has learned that in Xiangjiang, a martial arts film needs at least one million dollars just for martial arts, and this million dollars includes all the martial arts scenes in a movie.

Xiangjiang's martial arts films are all filmed like this, the director shoots literary dramas, and the martial arts dramas are contracted to martial arts to shoot.

Coupled with the salaries of Xiangjiang's staff and supporting actors, it is estimated that it will account for more than 30% of the investment.

Lin Zixuan naturally wants to use mainland staff, not to mention the low salary, but also let them participate in this kind of large-scale production, increase their experience, and accumulate skills for independent shooting of domestic blockbusters in the future.

The advantage of using Hong Kong's production team is that their working habits are in line with Hollywood's production model.

Cinematography, sound effects and stunts are very good at communicating with Hollywood, and there are not many obstacles, and they know what foreign audiences like to watch, which can make the film more international.

This should be the reason why Li Yu chose the Xiangjiang team.

Li Yu is a very adaptable director, he uses the production team of Baodao in Baodao, and he uses the Hollywood production team when he arrives in Hollywood, he feels that the local staff understand the local culture and make authentic things.

He won't bring the team from Treasure Island to Hollywood, and then it won't be a pure Western film.

This time to make a martial arts film, he wanted to use the production team of Xiangjiang, just to make an authentic martial arts film taste.

Lin Zixuan can compromise on this point, as long as the film is filmed in the mainland, the mainland staff can participate.

If you want the film to be distributed in North America, Hollywood studios are an unavoidable topic, and if you want a large company, a small company has limited ability to promote and distribute it, and it will not achieve the desired effect.

After reaching a preliminary agreement with Li Yu, Lin Zixuan will contact Hollywood film companies.

The next day, filming continued.

Li Yu found an assistant to take Lin Zixuan and his party to visit the set and have a general understanding of the filming process in Hollywood.

This drama has only been started for less than a month, and they finished filming the location before winter came, and the rest of the scenes could be carried out in the studio, which took about five months to shoot in total.

If the post-production time is included, Li Yu will not have a schedule to take over "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" until the second half of 98.

"According to this plan, even if Li Yu agrees, the actual filming of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" will not start until 99, and we must be prepared for long-term operations. Lin Zixuan said with a smile.

"There are many good things, and I have time to think about the role well. Chen Daoming was not worried, "I think Li Yu wants to make a different martial arts film, and he has his own ideas in it." ”

That's true, yesterday everyone talked about Xiangjiang's martial arts films, although Li Yu didn't say it explicitly, but he was not very optimistic.

Martial arts films look at martial arts at first, and photography on the other, or whether the fight is not beautiful, whether the shooting is good or not.

Li Yu is not very interested in the photography and lighting methods of Xiangjiang martial arts films, and he wants to shoot something different from those films.

For example, in the previous martial arts films, the shots were shot from the bottom up, which made people feel high, and at the same time, it could also avoid Weiya in the shot, Li Yan felt that it should be shot from the top down.

In the air, the audience can see the whole process of the actor getting up, landing and flying.

In this way, the picture can not only maintain beauty, but also lose the sense of dynamism and wildness, and the light work is to move, fly the eaves and walk the wall, and complete it in one go.

In this way, you can give the audience a sense of freshness, otherwise you will feel that the action is not beautiful enough, and there is no rhyme and rhythm.

Filming in Hollywood is very regular, and the shooting plan is carried out every day, and there is rarely overtime, because the cost of overtime in Hollywood is very high, especially for big stars, and the contract stipulates the daily filming time.

When the time comes, the big stars will leave to participate in other activities.

After finishing work, Li Yu continued to talk with Lin Zixuan, this time talking about financial issues.

Xu Ligong has a set of financing plans for "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", that is, to borrow from banks, and loans from banks require collateral, which is a paper contract.

They are ready to pre-sell the overseas rights of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" before the movie is made.

This pre-sale is not to take cash directly, but to sign a distribution contract with overseas filmmakers.

Then, take the pre-sale contract to apply for a loan from the bank, which may not be common in China, like a white wolf with empty gloves, but it has a certain feasibility in Hong Kong and Taiwan.

In Heungjiang, such a large bank loan must be guaranteed by an insurance company in order to borrow money.

The prerequisite for the insurance company to be willing to guarantee, in addition to the trust in Li Yu and others, is to pre-sell the copyright of the film before handing over the film in the future.

After filming the movie, Li Yan handed over the film to the buyer who pre-sold it, and returned it to the bank after getting the payment.

This process seems simple, but in fact, not everyone can do this, and if it weren't for the name Li Yu, the overseas rights of the film might not have been sold at all, and the insurance company would not have taken the risk.

This is the influence, they believe that Li Huan's film can make money, so they will buy it.

Lin Zixuan did not object to this operation, he also took this path when filming "Beijing People in New York", but at that time, he used Huaguo TV's patch advertisements as collateral.

Good Dream was able to come up with $3 million to start the project, and the rest of the funds were borrowed from the bank.

However, loans are constrained, and banks and insurance companies, as well as filmmakers who have received pre-sale contracts, will monitor the progress of the film for their own benefit in case of accidents.

The first two nights were good, the two sides reached an agreement on key issues, and everyone relaxed.

On the evening of the third day, Li Yu took time to watch the film "Spring in a Small Town".

He admired the performances of Chen Daoming and Yu Feihong, and this film is in line with his previous films, which are all about showing the traditional culture of the East through the story of a family.

However, if it were Li Yu, he would not shoot like this, he would shoot more passionately.

Especially between Zhou Yuwen and Zhang Zhichen, when the two old lovers meet, they are hot and vigorous, and he will show more of the struggle and compromise between men and women.

Maybe the ending will not change, but the process in the middle will definitely be different.

Each director will have their own interpretation of the same story and shoot different feelings. (To be continued.) )
