In comparison, Han Sanpin, as the head of China Film, had a milder attitude, and he suggested to himself very sensibly: "This film is not bad, if you want to shoot it, you can do it, but you must reduce the scenes, reduce the budget, and control the movie to a smaller range, and you had better only shoot the plot in the middle, the protagonist defeats the Japanese army, don't finish filming, just like "Water Margin" It's best to only shoot the Liangshan Juyi section...... Again, reality and ideals must be distinguished. ”
Although these words sounded uncomfortable, Li Xiaolexing also knew in his heart that these seniors were very reasonable, and they all wanted to protect themselves and try not to take risks......
The first rule of Hollywood movies is to determine before filming begins, who will watch the movie after it is released? Where is the market? Who will watch a war movie in which the protagonist is a barbarian in the eyes of mainland and Taiwanese audiences, who speaks tribal language throughout the whole process?
Come to think of it, it seems that there are only aborigines in Taiwan......... The cost of the original "Saidek Bale" is 700 million Taiwan dollars, which is nearly 200 million yuan at the current exchange rate, while the box office in Taiwan is 800 million Taiwan dollars, and the mainland is only 15 million yuan, so the cost is a loss...... This is indeed a thankless work.
In fact, every great director has a similar theme in his heart that he wants to shoot, but think about Ang Lee's filming of "Riding with the Devil" and Feng Xiaogang's filming of "1942", the two most successful directors in the Chinese have suffered the biggest failure in their directorial careers because of filming this kind of film, and have even been criticized and scolded by the audience...... It's not easy to make this type of film well.
Thinking of this, Li Xiaole suddenly had no bottom in his heart, he wanted to retreat, and even wanted to call Wei Desheng immediately, saying that he would stop filming...... In fact, it's good that he honestly stays in the field he is good at and makes comedies...... Why do such a thankless thing, it's not pure stupidity!?
In the past few nights, Li Xiaole has been immersed in this hesitant mood and fell asleep, hoping that he would not be stupid when he fell asleep...... He is now a great director with a good reputation and box office success in all his works, so why add a stupid record to his file......
But no matter how many times Li Xiaole wanted to give up, there was always a voice in his heart that stirred him, and that voice was tempting him: "Shoot, just shoot what you want to shoot, as long as it is a good movie, the audience will definitely recognize it, and you can't lose any money." ”
Even when he was sleeping, he seemed to hear a female voice whispering coldly to him, "Why are you so annoying lately......"
In the morning, when he opened his eyes, he suddenly saw Lei Ting appear in front of him like a ghost, and he was so frightened that he almost jumped up from the sheets.
"Hey~ Sister Tingting, what's your situation! Can't you knock on the door? Li Xiaole tugged at the sheets and glared in protest.
"It's nothing, I just see that you are absent-minded, and I want to see if you are sick." Lei Ting stretched out her hand and touched his forehead, felt that there was no fever, stood up again, and looked at him with disdain: "If you are not sick, don't nest in bed, expert investigation said that people who lie and sit every day will have problems with their prostate, you shoot and sit, and you are still lying at home, I am really worried about your future wife......"
"I'm depressed~ Ignore me!" Li Xiaole leaned on the bed speechlessly, then turned his head to look at Lei Ting and asked, "Sister Tingting, let me ask you a question~ When you cook, you know that it is not delicious, will Weishenme insist on doing it?" I see you've fallen quite a few yourself. ”
"Well...... this" Lei Ting took out a cigarette with a beautiful posture, lightly lit it with a lighter and frowned: "It's because I'm not good at cooking, so I have to keep doing it, if I don't do things, I will never be good at it." ”
"Because I'm not good at it, I have to keep doing it......" Li Xiaole was stunned and repeated, the knot in his heart was suddenly untied, yes, since he chooses to make a movie, he will always encounter his own unknown territory, do you want to escape every time, Spielberg and Warner turned a black and white movie like "Schindler's List" into a $400 million box office blockbuster, and James Cameron spent $500 million to let the blue-skinned alien be the protagonist, creating a movie miracle.
There are not many Jews on this shijie, and there are definitely fewer aliens than aborigines, so I wouldn't dare to shoot it!? If I want to go to Hollywood in the future, whether I want to make "Inception" or other blockbusters, it is definitely not easier than "Sedek Balai".
I can't always find the thrill of success in commercial films, so I have been stagnant! I'm going to the United States next year, so I always want to take an adventure and strive to break through the limits I haven't challenge~!
"Good~! Sister Tingting, you said it so well! You are going to buy me a sand table, just the same area as the one in Mr. Han's house, and then call Xu Zhen and ask him to make some models, and I will send him the drawings. Li Xiaole suddenly felt that the dark cloud in his heart had dispersed, and he suddenly became excited, threw off the quilt, stood on the bed and shouted loudly.
"What are you going to do?" Lei Ting squinted her evil eyes, consciously feeling that he had made some major decision.
"I decided! Before I acquired Luen Mei, I still have to make two films, one that loses money and the other that makes money, even if we lose a little bit in the summer file, we will make a big profit before and after the Chinese New Year. Li Xiaole tilted his head and said, waving his fist excitedly.
"Are you so happy to lose money when you want to shoot? Damn it...... Did I just say something that made you sick? Lei Ting's mentality has stabilized a lot after the desperate gamble of "Let the Bullets Fly", and she is also used to Li Xiaole's intermittent nervous behavior, but she looks at the current situation, Li Xiaole is obviously inspired by her unintentional words just now, and she regrets it so much, and she is so happy to lose money, this is really ......sick!
"Is there one...... Sister Tingting, don't you see that I was talking about my expression of sadness when I was making a money-losing film......" Li Xiaole found that his current state was not quite right, and he could only cough dryly twice to express his regret.
"I don't see it...... Lei Ting stared coldly at the fact that she was only wearing briefs and standing tall, taking advantage of the key part of the small tent, and said disdainfully: "Obviously, what you say now is inconsistent with the content expressed in your body language." ”
"......" Li Xiaole suddenly found that his lower body was in the same "high" state as his brain cells at the moment, and he hurriedly covered his lower body in embarrassment, blinking his eyes embarrassedly and pretending to be serious: "Isn't this you standing in front of me...... This is a normal physiological reaction for me...... Why don't we have a ...... in the morning Hmm~~~"
Before Li Xiaole finished speaking, Lei Ting had already put the pillow on his face with a cold face.
From this day on, Li Xiaole went into the normal rhythm and began to prepare for the jishu part of "Sydek Balai" one by one, for what this movie conveyed, to be honest, he didn't say that he understood too deeply, so he could only start from the jishu side first.
What he can do now is to calculate the funds needed for the film, as well as recruit the relevant personnel, and the Black Pearl Company now has three Jishu personnel who are the core backbone of the company's long-term cooperation.
First of all, as the head of finance, daily affairs, and the overall situation, Lei Ting, she is a unique existence for the Black Pearl Company and himself.
Secondly, art director Xu Zhen, after the cooperation with Zhang Shupin, his attainments in art scenes and costumes have completely reached the top level in Asia, and Zhang Shupin also privately commented on Xu Zhen, thinking that this Korean geek is even above himself in terms of aesthetic creativity.
The third is the photographer Zhao Fei, this taciturn photographer is definitely shijie-level shooting.
To shoot "Sedek Balai", these three people alone are not enough, Li Xiaole also needs to set up three new departments, special effects makeup team, action special effects team (also blasting), CG department.
And these three departments need not only jishu, but also experience, so candidates must not just be found in the country, the most haode is to search within the whole shijie range.
So Li Xiaole used his media resources to publish a recruitment post on the website of the "Screenwriters Republic", asking H to invite everyone to join the Black Pearl Company in the name of the president.
"Hello, citizens of the Republic of Screenwriters, I am pleased to announce that due to the good momentum of the development of my friend Happy LI's Black Pearl Company, the following three departments are now going to be recruited for the following three departments on the Black Pearl ship~
Demolition special effects team, special effects makeup team, computer CG team, if the cooperation goes well, the crew can sign a long-term contract with Black Pearl to participate in the production of the future "Transformers" (I think you all know that I have written this script outline for a long time, and Paramount has always wanted to buy it)
The crew requirements are as follows, must be able to travel to China for half a year, interested parties please send their resumes to the website of Black Pearl Company WWW. blackpearl…… cn……”
In terms of the action group, Li Xiaole directly sent invitations to various well-known action and martial arts groups in the mainland.
Soon this post was translated into Chinese and transferred to various forums, and this Black Pearl company recruitment soon caused a sensation in the mainland industry, because everyone smelled a trace of information from this recruitment information, and Li's crazy new film is another big move!!
The demolition team, the action group, the special effects makeup, and the CG department, even people who don't know much about movies can get a conclusion from these terms...... This time, Li Crazy is either planning to make a science fiction movie or a war movie.
Sci-fi films are almost impossible to shoot in China, so it means that Li is crazy and wants to shoot a war blockbuster!?
In comparison, Han Sanpin, as the head of China Film, had a milder attitude, and he suggested to himself very sensibly: "This film is not bad, if you want to shoot it, you can do it, but you must reduce the scenes, reduce the budget, and control the movie to a smaller range, and you had better only shoot the plot in the middle, the protagonist defeats the Japanese army, don't finish filming, just like "Water Margin" It's best to only shoot the Liangshan Juyi section......
