495 Boarding the "Thief Ship"
"Andy, have you ever considered slowing down the development of the Ghost Chronicle series?" After a moment's hesitation, Wen Ziren asked. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
"Is there any reason?" Liu Anran asked curiously.
"That's what I think, even if the theme of "Ghost Shadow" is very good, if we launch it at a rate of one per year, the audience will be visually worse." Wen Ziren said.
"Actually, the content of horror movies is basically the same in my feeling. We can try to launch the follow-up parts of "Ghost Record" at a rate of two or three years. And in the middle of these years, we can add some other themes, such as werewolves, vampires, elements of previous fantasy novels. ”
"In the future, those friends of mine can also shoot plasma-type horror films, which can further enrich the various elements of our company's horror films."
"Yes, yes, but do you have the rest of the scripts in your hands now?" Liu Anran asked after thinking for a while.
He also knows that even if the two series "Ghost Record" and "Chainsaw" are very good, it is not so easy to really rule the horror film market. He was counting on Wen Ziren to fool his small team and enrich his horror film library.
"We were a little late, and my friends had already received investment from others. Now I have a very good script in my hand, and if I rush to work, I can release it in time for Halloween this year. Wen Ziren said with a smile.
"Actually, I bought the rights last year, and the name is "Tales of the Night" is to see the world from the perspective of a werewolf, and I didn't know if you liked this kind of theme before."
Liu Anran shook his head helplessly and said, "You can do it boldly." As long as you feel that the film is okay, you can invest directly in the shooting. What I told you before is not to fool you, but that you really have the right to do so. ”
"The investment cost of horror films is very small, and the investment of millions can be done all. Although our company is short of money now, films like these small investments, even if they invest more, will not have a big impact on our company. ”
Wen Ziren still can't let go, in fact, it's really nothing. Now the films invested by my company start at 30 million US dollars. Basically, all of them are more than 50 million, and some are even in 100 million.
It is estimated that he still cares too much about his own words, and he wants quality over quantity. But what I mean by this quality doesn't have to be like "Ghost Shadow", where millions of dollars of investment are exchanged for more than 100 million dollars at the box office.
In fact, in his heart, as long as the film does not lose money, it is a good film, at least your film is very accurate when positioning.
"Another thing, if your friends plan to accumulate filming experience, you can let them take over the filming of these TV series that we have newly invested." Liu Anran continued.
"Anyway, the episode is still on the air for a long time, you can let them try to shoot an episode first, and if you think it's okay, you can continue to give it to them. If you are not satisfied, consider a substitution. ”
"It's also a kind of training for new directors, but you have to tell them that the salary is not very high. After all, not everyone will give them the opportunity to waste, looking at various film companies, we have the time and confidence on our side. ”
He is indeed very confident in this regard, with Wen Ziren in hand, do you still have to worry about the horror movie not being filmed well? People say that like gathers like, and the strength of the people in his horror film team is quite tough. Even if some people can't reach Wen Ziren's height, even if it's not much worse.
Now Wen Ziren is not only a director, but also a senior manager of the company. Whether it's a movie or a series, he will be involved in the management. With his help, what else is there to worry about.
"Okay, I'll give it a try, but I still think you should find someone else to do this in the future. I'm so busy right now that I don't have much time to think about how to make a movie. Wen Ziren shrugged his shoulders and said.
"The current difficulties are all temporary, and it will be good when there are more people in the company. In just one or two years, our company's director team will grow. If you think about it, wouldn't it be nice to leave any work to them to do? Liu Anran patted Wen Ziren's shoulder and said.
"Andy, you're finally telling the truth. Now Lin Yibin and I are the objects of your call. Wen Ziren said pitifully.
"I agree with you very much, we are the ones who are oppressed by him, and we must rise up and resist when we have the opportunity." At this time, Lin Yibin, who walked into the viewing room, answered.
"I knew that you had been doing the post-processing of the film, so I didn't dare to bother you, and now I see that you have a relaxed face, and it's all done?" Liu Anran asked with a smile.
"There's still a little bit left, I heard that you're coming, so I'll go here and take a rest." Lin Yibin said after sitting down.
"Don't be too rushed, but don't get tired, then I'll really become an oppressor. How can I give up on you. Liu Anran quipped.
"It's the same as the truth, when this film is finished, don't I have to go over to "Fast and Furious 2"? I just don't know if I will arouse the disgust of the current director after I pass. Lin Yibin complained and then asked.
"No, this is a film we invested in, how can we send someone over to see it. You didn't deny Singleton's filming in the past, but went to help him. Liu Anran said with a smile.
"Besides, when your film is released again, who will dare to underestimate you? We stumbled over at the beginning, and it is not easy to break into the current foundation, so you two must work harder. ”
"See? You often complain to me that you have too much work, but I have more talents. The next few years will be occupied, so I will definitely pull him in when I shoot in the future. Lin Yibin looked at Wen Ziren and shrugged his shoulders and said.
"No way, I'll have to count on you two to cook now. Ang Lee is tired from filming this time, and he has to rest for a while before filming "Brokeback Mountain", and now I have to rely on you to support me. Liu Anran said with a smile.
These two people are indeed a little "ruthless" in their own use, but they can't do it if they don't use it. He had to let these two people reflect their value as soon as possible in order to create a brand effect for his company.
The two also knew that they couldn't talk about Liu Anran, and now that they were on his thief ship, it would be difficult to get off if they wanted to.
