137. If- love
China Film Group is about to acquire Kyoto Film Studios?
This news was both unexpected and seemed natural for Ye Sumang.
Since he started to be a director, Kyoto Film Studio has been in trouble, and it is now surviving on a little subsidy provided by the state.
Ye Sumang didn't have anything to do about it, and it didn't seem bad that Kyoto Film Studio was swallowed up by Huaying Group.
Because Huaying Group's status in China is too transcendent, his unique official background can make it rampant in this land, and Kyoto Film Studio can only retain its name, which is equivalent to having a strong backer, and the funds for future films will be abundant.
Ye Sumang weighed the pros and cons of this news in his heart, and his face was not only a little distracted.
"Su Mang?" Zhou Wei on the side noticed Ye Sumang's unusual expression for the first time, for fear of delaying his proud impression in Han Shanping's heart, so he immediately touched Ye Sumang's hand lightly with the wine glass in his hand.
Ye Sumang was interrupted by Zhou Wei like this, and he also came back to his senses, and his face was immediately replaced with a formula smile.
Han Shanping and Chen Kaige didn't greet each other for too long, after all, as the head of Huaying Group, many people present would come over to talk to him, that is, Chen Kaige was too famous, so no one came up for the time being. However, Chen Kaige himself is also interested, after introducing Ye Sumang, and talking about his new movie, he said goodbye, and took Ye Sumang to a resting position in the corner.
"How did you feel about attending this kind of party for the first time?" After the three of them sat down, Chen Kaige asked Ye Sumang with a smile.
"Hypocrisy." Ye Sumang replied without hesitation.
"Hahahahaha! Good answer. Chen Kaige let out a happy sigh and applauded, but his face quickly turned into a serious look. said: "This circle is hypocrisy, but don't look down on these, you can only integrate into this circle if you learn hypocrisy, am I right, Miss Zhou Wei?" ”
Zhou Wei was stunned. I didn't expect Chen Kaige to ask herself, but she couldn't answer this sentence, so she just smiled.
"But I don't like it." Although Chen Kaige zuihou asked Zhou Wei a sentence, Ye Sumang knew that this was a question he asked himself.
"I don't like it either." Chen Kaige laughed self-deprecatingly, and continued: "Young man, come on, when you are strong enough, you don't need to be hypocritical to face anyone, because at that time you are the maker of the rules of this circle, like him." ”
After speaking, he pointed to Han Shanping, who was surrounded by a group of actors and directors.
Ye Sumang looked over there. But there was no envy in his eyes.
In addition to Han Shanping's own ability, the success of Huaying is more due to the special background, no private company in China can surpass the achievements of Huaying, so Ye Sumang did not position himself in the domestic battlefield at the beginning, his vision is farther, he hopes to conquer the distant Western film country and gain his own place there.
With Chen Kaige's introduction, Ye Sumang knew many people at the reception. There are directors and actors in it, and it can be regarded as accumulating a network of contacts. However, Ye Sumang did not stay at the banquet for long, and an hour later he said goodbye to Chen Kaige and prepared to return to the company to hold a discussion meeting on a new film.
When the three of them returned to the company together, Huang Bo, Ning Hao, Yuan Hong and others were already waiting in the conference room. As soon as Ye Sumang arrived at the company, he returned to his office and took out the script that he had written before and distributed it to everyone to watch.
"Presumably everyone knows Feng Xiaogang's speech at the award ceremony, I think instead of fighting with him, it is better to fight back with practical actions, now you can read the script I prepared. By the way, the comments. After Ye Sumang sat down, he took the coffee handed over by the secretary Li Meng and put it in his hand, and at the same time swept everyone present with his eyes, wanting to see what kind of expressions they would have after seeing the script.
"Or a song and dance movie?" After only turning two pages after getting the script, Huang Bo exclaimed in surprise.
Ye Sumang nodded as a matter of course and explained: "This was written together with "Youth Singing and Dancing Youth", because I thought that "Youth Singing and Dancing Youth" was more acceptable to the market, so this one was temporarily stranded. ”
"What about "Youth Musical"? I haven't done anything in the later stage, and I haven't done any publicity, and now I'm afraid you won't be able to keep busy with a new drama. Ning Hao asked worriedly while looking at the script.
Ye Sumang had already thought of a way to do this.
"The editing can be handed over to Bai Ge, "Singing and Dancing Youth" is a campus drama with no difficult shots, he is completely competent, the problem of special effects only has one fireworks scene to do, just hand it over directly to the special effects company, Huang Bo, you are responsible for this, there are special people to do the soundtrack, you just need to add a piano song I created before. The problem of zuihou publicity, the problem of publicity, Sister Joy is in charge, but I won't participate in it, because I have to go abroad. ”
Ye Sumang assigned all the tasks of the post-production of "Youth Singing and Dance" in a few words, which was also the first time that he did not participate in the post-production of his film.
"Going abroad? What to do? Joey on the side asked with some surprise.
"When I go to the United States, I want to go to Broadway and ask a professional stage teacher to come and direct the film." Ye Sumang replied.
Hearing Ye Sumang's answer, everyone had a surprised expression, no matter what they thought, they couldn't imagine that Ye Sumang would play so ruthlessly this time.
"Don't look at me like that, my style of this film is opera, which is a completely different concept from the popular fashion of 'Youth Musical'. And as the first choice for opera, it is naturally Broadway, where there are the best talents in Shijie, and I naturally have to find the most haode teacher from there to direct this film. ”
"It makes sense, but the cost is a bit high." Huang Bo said jokingly, you must know that the prices of these outsiders are not cheap.
Ye Sumang doesn't care much about this, you must know that "Youth Singing and Dancing Youth" has invested less than 10 million Huaxia coins in total, even if you add the later publicity, it will not exceed 15 million, and Ning Hao's new film will not exceed 10 million Ye Sumang's inference, excluding these two expenses and the company's normal operation of the funds, now the world film and television has at least 200 million liquidity, which is enough for any film.
After everything was ordered, everyone turned their attention back to the script.
I didn't read it seriously just now, but after everyone focused on this script at this time, they felt that the more they watched it, the more frightened they became, especially several actors and directors who had a deeper understanding of this script.
"A play within a play, one link after another, the plot is very exciting, but Ye Zi, is this film ......" After another half an hour, Ning Hao took the lead in closing the script in his hand, the excited expression on his face did not dissipate, and after wiping the sweat on his forehead due to concentration, he said with some desire to speak: "Is it ...... Too realistic? ”
"And will the transformation of the picture hinder the audience's appreciation, and they will not be able to distinguish the difference between reality and virtual reality?" Zhou Wei also put down the script at this time, and also raised his doubts.
This script is indeed a good script, and it is very exciting, and it is definitely the pinnacle of Ye Sumang's work so far in terms of artistry. However, there are also big problems with the content in the film, the overly realistic style, and the transitions between scenes make several people dizzy, and it is conceivable that these things are likely to make the audience more confused after they are made into movies.
"I don't need to be persuaded by realistic problems, this script is originally close to the style of reality, although the title is called "If? Love", but I didn't want to shoot a real aiqing, I just wanted to express a story full of vanity, betrayal, forgetfulness and dreams, if it was detached from reality, it would only make the film have no follow. ”
Listening to Ye Sumang's words, Ning Hao thought about it carefully, and then nodded shamefully, he only thought about the problem that reality would affect the box office at first, but he didn't start from the overall situation of the film, just looking at this, he understood that there was still a big gap between himself and Ye Sumang.
"In addition, when it comes to scene transitions, try to be as natural as possible when shooting."
"Then I don't have any problem, I believe in the director's skills." Zhou Wei smiled lightly, took the script in his hand and asked, "Can I take it back and take a closer look?" ”
"Of course." Ye Sumang nodded and said, the heroine of this drama is actually more biased towards Zhou Wei in his heart, and Ye Sumang believes that she is completely competent in terms of acting skills and image. And there is another reason, didn't Feng Xiaogang tell him that a director who can win an award is a good director? Ye Sumang wants to be a good director who can not only win awards for himself, but also let his actors win awards, and then see what reason Feng Xiaogang has to refute himself.
Later, everyone also expressed their opinions on the script, such as the lack of depth in the description of Aiqing in the script, and some small errors in common sense were perfected and corrected under the collective liliang. The discussion didn't end until the early hours of the next morning, when Ye Sumang invited everyone to eat early and then rushed home to sleep.
Zhou Wei also had to go home to catch up on sleep, but when she went to pick up the car, Joey followed her.
"Zhou Wei, wait a minute, I have something I want to talk to you about." When Zhou Wei walked to the underground parking lot, Joey stopped her.
"Sister Joey, what's the matter?" Zhou Wei asked with some confusion.
Looking at the girl's delicate face, Joey hesitated when she spoke, at this time she really didn't know how to speak, so as not to hurt the girl, but also to solve the problem perfectly. (To be continued.) )
