384 Trouble
"Why do I feel so sad to see you guys chatting here while I'm filming in the studio?" At this time, Lin Yibin, who had finished filming, came over and said. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
"You can also relax in the future, and I will take care of the rest of the shooting, and you can prepare for the shooting of your film with peace of mind." Liu Anran said very irresponsibly.
Lin Yibin is helpless, he can indeed save a little, but that is only temporary, he is about to devote himself to the filming of "Stealing the Day", can he save a few days?
"Andy, there are a lot of films that your company will release next year, which is comparable to the number of films released by those big companies." Doug? Liman interjected.
"Quantity is one thing, but quality is also a matter of quality. Now I have three studios, but it's okay to have more films. If all of these released can be well received, it will be considered a real success. Liu Anran shook his head and said.
"Andy, you're asking too much. When the company grows to a certain scale and wants to maintain normal operations, it needs to shoot some films that cater to the market. And although these films will bring high box office, it is difficult to get good reviews. Otherwise, so many films would be Oscar-level. "Doug? Liman shook his head and said with a wry smile.
"Well, that's just a good wish. I just want to remind myself all the time that while making money, I must ensure the quality of the film. Liu Anran shook his head and said.
"So do you really plan to give up that "Fatal ID" and shoot it for someone else?" Lin Yibin asked.
"Almost, I'm going to take a rest too, how can you bear to destroy me so much." Liu Anran said very resentfully.
"But John? Cusack took on the lead role in the film partly because he liked the script very much, and on the other hand, you told him that you would shoot the film yourself. Lin Yibin touched his chin and said with a smile.
Liu Anran waved his hand depressedly, isn't this a pot that can't be opened.
"Actually, I think it's not bad for you to shoot it yourself, that script is also a thriller, and there are so many suspense, your first film is "Ghost Shadow", and it's good to use this film as the end of your stage." Doug on the side? Liman also said agitatedly.
"You just watch the excitement and don't have a backache, although the expected shooting period of that film is relatively short, if you want to be released next year, I have to shoot that one non-stop after the filming of this film is over." Liu Anran said depressedly.
"It's like I can rest, before you finish filming this film, I have to shoot "Stealing the Day". Wen Ziren is also filming over there, and no one is idle. Lin Yibin said complainingly.
"Didn't I help you too? I also drew the tandem board for "Stealing the Day". Liu Anran said unconvinced.
"You two are like little children, but it's okay, I gave myself a little vacation." Listening to Doug who is bickering between the two? Liman gloated.
With these two people, he felt that he was much younger all of a sudden.
He knows both of them very well, and they are both relatively good directors. Although the next two films directed by Liu Anran have not yet been released, he has already seen the edited films. In the use of the lens, there is no sense of astringency.
They are so young that people will not realize their true value until these films are shown on the big screen.
"Okay, I'll work hard as soon as you encourage me, anyway, it's only a matter of two months. I've been holding on for so long, and it's not that time. Liu Anran stretched and said.
"But after this shooting, I'm going to have to relax for a few years. The actors are tired of acting, and we directors are also tired of filming, so I will be an honest audience in the future. ”
"Andy, you know what. As you get used to shooting, you will find that if you are separated from the camera and the set for too long, your body will feel like it is being evacuated. "Doug? Liman said with a smile.
The three of them were chatting happily, but Liu Anran received a call from Edward.
"Edward, if there's nothing to do, just sit down in the studio, we're having a great time." After the phone was connected, Liu Anran said enthusiastically.
"Andy, we might be in trouble." Unexpectedly, Edward's slightly deep voice came from the phone.
"What's wrong?" Liu Anran frowned and asked.
"Something went wrong with that Marvel-invested Hulk. The creative committee was not satisfied with the filming of "The Incredible Hulk", they looked at all the shots that have been shot so far, and felt that if we showed the audience such a film, we Marvel would be stoned to death by the audience with Rotten Tomatoes. Edward said with a wry smile.
"Why is this happening? Didn't the screenwriter of this play have the participation of the creative committee? With their participation, how can the quality of the film be poor? Liu Anran asked depressedly.
Ang Lee is a good director, but even if he is a good director, he focuses more on literary films. When he had just bought back the rights to the Hulk, he also wanted to invite other directors to shoot. Because Ang Lee didn't handle it very well when filming "The Incredible Hulk", it was not popular with American audiences.
But with the Creative Committee, he thought he could solve the problem. But now it seems that the matter has not been resolved, and the creative committee has a disagreement with him on the part of Edward.
"Andy, this matter is a little difficult to handle, and you can only come forward. Why don't I ask the crew to show you the finished footage tomorrow, and then you can talk to the director? Edward asked tentatively.
"It's been filming for so long, how can you react? What did you do earlier? Do you want them to eat rice as a creative committee? Liu Anran suppressed his anger and asked.
If you rework the shooting, it will inevitably increase the cost a lot. In fact, it is nothing to increase the cost, the most important thing is that he is worried about affecting the stock price of Marvel after listing in the future.
Marvel's stock price in the future depends entirely on his first film, and if "The Incredible Hulk" can get off to a good start, even if the quality of the films shot in the future is slightly worse, people will understand and continue to look forward to it. But if "The Incredible Hulk" is messed up, people will turn from anticipation to disappointment.
This kind of disappointment is not something that you can solve by shooting several films in succession.
"Andy, the main director is Chinese, everyone knows that you attach great importance to Chinese directors, so there is the current situation." Edward said with a sigh.
