……

Chen Tian is not a diligent person, if he can be simple, of course he hopes that others will help him do it.

He revised the script of "The Matrix" on and off for several months, and finally finalized it. Including storyboard scripts, that is, how to turn the content of the script into a screen screen, and how to shoot these scenes, etc.

The general framework of the story has not changed, but how to express the story and what kind of details to tell, he has made some changes in order to make the rhythm of the film more natural and more in line with his heart. In particular, it is necessary to change the situation of the excesses of the special effects slow-motion table in the original work.

Judging from the vision of the future in his dreams, some of the sci-fi scene layouts and props in the original work are a bit old-fashioned.

Not to mention that the mobile phone used in the movie is still a 1999 model, the kind of mobile phone with a pull-down button is first-class in this era, but in a few years, it should become a scrap recycling station that no one wants. There are also spaceships and Zion Base Camp, as well as the internal structure of the spaceship, and even the mechanical armor that appears in the latter two parts, etc., all of which have to be redesigned, which is more in line with the sense of futuristic sci-fi.

Chen Tiandu not only wants to make it a classic, but also makes the audience feel fresh when they see some sci-fi scenes in the movie more than ten years later.

Anyway, many of the shots in "The Matrix", Chen Tian has been redesigned, he doesn't think about the cost, only the best effect.

For example, in the most classic scene of "The Matrix", after Neo was given the "Kung Fu" skill, Neo and Morpheus competed in the virtual space. Morpheus and Neo fought four times before and after, representing that Neo improved faster than the last, and the last time he beat Morpheus even faster. The action scenes of the protagonist of the original work are no longer evaluated, but the scene of this set of shots is always in a wooden room similar to a Japanese tatami mat, which seems too narrow.

Since the environment of the virtual space can be controlled, why not do it better?

Chen Tiandu is set in the bamboo forest area, Tai Chi Wudang, Northeast Snow Scene, and the Great Wall, from the scene switch and the transformation of kung fu movements to enhance the realm of Neo. Let foreigners not only see the magic of Chinese kung fu, but also see the beautiful scenery of mountains and rivers of Chinese broadcasting.

He knew that more than ten years later, Chenlong had a movie called "Kung Fu Dream".

The film didn't sell well in China and the plot was very old-fashioned, but it sold nearly 200 million at the box office in the United States. One of the big reasons is that the film extensively introduces the famous customs of traditional Chinese festivals, and there is also an introduction to the martial arts wonders of Wudang Mountain and other places, which makes foreigners feel very fresh.

These are very obvious scenography.

Chen Tian knew that if he wanted to shoot this set of shots, it would be very troublesome, especially if he had to go to several cities in China for those simple shots, but his set of shots was ready to shoot like this.

Chen Tiandu also wrote this storyboard very slowly, and he had to consider the consistency of the style of the whole film, so there would be few scenes of green bamboo forests and beautiful mountains and rivers, otherwise it would steal the scene. He needed an experienced art director to keep him in check.

It was a very painstaking and painstaking job, and he was not in a hurry, and certainly did not need to be in a hurry. After the crew is formed, there will be a chance to discuss it again.

To prepare for a film film, there is still a lot of work that needs to be done in the early stage. Chen Tiandu also felt for the first time that being the producer of a movie is not easy, and it is a process of starting from scratch.

Buying a special effects company is the first step, but is it possible to make a film without registering a film company?

"Nope."

Downey's lawyer explained categorically, saying: "The initial investment in your film is as high as 60 million US dollars, if you are the only investor, you will definitely not be able to do it alone, there is no company responsible for the overall work, and the property will be messed up." If you're not the only investor, you need a company. The California government still has some preferential treatment for those small film companies, register in California, shoot in California, and finally refund some film taxes to you, in fact, other places have similar policies, the return of taxes may not be much, but it is better than nothing. And it can also avoid the disadvantages of dealing with companies for individuals. ”

Chen Tiandu nodded in agreement, according to his shooting method, there will be many detours. The preliminarily calculated investment budget is also more than $50 million. He doesn't have that much money right now, and he doesn't have any channels. Cooperation is an inevitable choice.

There will be dozens of actors signed for the film alone, and there will be hundreds of people in the crew, including photographers, lighting artists, makeup artists, set designers, etc...... Without a company, that's a joke.

So Chen Tiandu's second step is to have his own film company.

It is very difficult to run a shell company, looking for an office, recruiting talents, etc., Chen Tian has a big head when he sees those procedures. Of course, there are shortcuts, and the fastest is to directly acquire a ready-made one.

"Every day in California, companies are formed and every day companies go out of business," Downey said. But the reason for the collapse of these companies, most of the time, is simply to invest in a movie that failed at the box office, and the director zhì company lost money; Sometimes they have not even invested, but they are unable to continue to maintain them due to lack of funds, and there is no problem with the internal workings of these companies. According to your request, I have collected some information on small film companies, you can see for yourself. ”

Donnie's current employer is already a rich man, so his enthusiasm for work has also increased a lot.

The recommended information is very detailed, with a total of more than 40 companies, including the basic information of these film companies, such as which films have been produced and which films have been performed; There is also the data and analysis of the current situation of these companies, what company launched a bad movie, failed miserably at the box office, and the director lost a lot of money; What company has done another bad deal, and it is estimated that it is currently in a debt crisis; What company's chairman has the intention to sell the company...... Wait a minute.

He carefully chose a film company that was waiting for the money to be injected.

This company doesn't have its own production experience, but Chen Tian has experience, so it's not a problem. Surprisingly, it has also run several small films purchased at the St. Denis Film Festival, and has screened five films, the largest of which was shown in 1,000 theaters. It can also make its own zuòdVd sales, so the company has a slight surplus in its finances.

Of course, Chen Tiandu doesn't look down on this small profit, and he is happy that the company has the ability to operate and dVd. Such a company, of course, will ask for a little more expensive. Chen Tian didn't want to waste time, so he finally set a price of $1.5 million, and both sides signed.

More than $3 million was spent in a few days, which was a lot of money. Downey was more motivated, "Boss, do you need to change the name of the company?" ”

Chen Tiandu thought for a while and said: "It's still called 'matrix', the full name is "matrix-fi1m-studios." ”

"I hope you don't fire the old employees of the company, they are all good guys." The former boss of the company, who was satisfied with the check, pretended to say good things for his old subordinates.

Chen Tiandu shook hands with him expressionlessly, "I think I'll deal with it." There is a labor contract, and the matter of dismissing employees at will will not happen. Of course, I have my own assessment criteria, and if I eat mixed rice, I will lose my job even if I have a contract. ”

Downey also said: "Our boss is the director of this year's global box office number one film, and the employees of the company should be glad to work under him." ”

"I hope so."

After saying goodbye, Chen Tiandu immediately went to his company to have a look. Kong Yiji has probably arrived, let's go back first.

On the way back, he was a little melancholy. Before the movie started, the funds were reduced by 10%, which made him a little uneasy, and he felt more deeply that money is not like money.

"Maybe I should think of some other way to make money......" He took out his artifact mobile phone, looked through it casually, and suddenly realized that an application that could not be clicked on before was now actually lit up, and he was shocked, "Downey lawyer!" ”

"Boss, what's wrong?" Donnie turned his head in confusion, "Any other orders?" ”

"Please help me check the information of this company to see if they have any plans to sell, and inquire about their situation thoroughly." Chen Tiandu took out a pen and wrote a string of words on the back of a banknote.

Downey smiled: "Boss, do you need to buy this company?" It's a strange name, but is it still a movie-related company? I need a few days. ”

Chen Tiandu frowned, "No, it's an Internet company." It should not have been established for a long time, and after finding the information, tell me in time. ”
