383 Unavoidable film investment

"By the way, what kind of film are you going to make again?" With Doug? After Liman chatted for a while, Liu Anran asked. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"I still plan to make action movies, action movies with comedy overtones, maybe this is my old job, so I have a preference for comedy." Doug? Liman said with a smile after pouring a cup of coffee for Liu Anran and himself respectively.

"I thought Hitchcock's 1941 film Mr. and Mrs. Smith was very good, so I was going to reshoot it, I ......"

"Poof"

Before he finished speaking, Liu Anran squirted out all the coffee in his mouth just after drinking it.

"Andy, what's wrong? The coffee isn't very hot. "Doug? Liman asked suspiciously, taking a sip.

"Uh...... I had just drunk a little too much, so I choked. Liu Anran hurriedly said in a cover-up.

He once again admired the powerful inertia of history, and it would not be too different because of the flapping of the wings of his little butterfly.

Doug? Liman recognizes his shortcomings and decides to settle down and settle down a little more, but his eyes are still fixed on the film "Mr. and Mrs. Smith."

Although this film is a good production and can bring back a lot of box office, Liu Anran is under psychological pressure to shoot this film.

I have to say that this film has a certain legend, and it is precisely because of the shooting of this film that Brad? Pete and Angelina? Julie hooked up and became a real couple. may also be because the comedy flavor of this drama is very strong, and the two of them also left after a few years.

If Brad? Pete is single, and he is with Angelina? It doesn't matter if Julie gets together, on the contrary, it's a good story. But now Pete was only in June 2000 with Jennifer? Aniston gets married, and Jennifer? Aniston also gave a lot for this marriage.

He expects his love life to be perfect, and naturally he doesn't want to be a medium to destroy other people's married lives. It can be said that this film is not on his investment agenda at all, but the reality has made him face history again, Doug? Liman brought the film to him again.

Already promised Doug just now? Liman, this word has not yet been blown away in the wind, how can it be recycled? Whether he wants it or not, he has to shoot.

"So, I'm going to work on this script. Just like you're working on Pirates of the Caribbean, get all the pre-work done before you start filming. "Wait for Liu Anran to wipe his mouth? Liman continued.

"Okay, you want you to do it. When you plan to prepare the crew, just talk to Edward. If the company's funds are surplus at that time, it can give you more investment. Liu Anran nodded and said.

"Andy, I think you must be the favorite investor of all directors and screenwriters. Anyway, I've already decided, as long as it's a script I can control, I'll ask you to invest in it in the future. "Doug? Liman said with a smile.

The cooperation with Liu Anran is very pleasant, although the copyright of the whole film was all obtained by Liu Anran when he first came into contact, but he did a good job, and he really did not interfere at all during the shooting. If it weren't for my repeated requests, I'm afraid I wouldn't even ask.

This kind of freedom is what all directors dream of, after all, no one wants to be happy when they shoot themselves, and the investor came to say this and that.

"Actually, I can't help it, I'm also a director, and I understand the director's distress better." Liu Anran said with a smile.

"And I'm the owner of a film company, and I look forward to the company being able to release more high-quality films. The only thing that can be used as an attraction is to give power to the directors. The director is delegated, and if you want to ensure the quality of the film, you will carefully review the script. ”

"I'm looking forward to more people bringing scripts to our company, but in my opinion, it really doesn't make much difference whether a film is invested more or less. The most important thing is whether this film is worth my investment and what kind of income he can bring back to me. ”

"If you think some friends' scripts are very good in the future, you can get them to our company. As long as the script is good, they will not leave disappointed. ”

"Don't you already have your own team of writers? Why are you still trying to find scripts everywhere? "Doug? Liman asked curiously.

"It's not good enough, the current creative team has just been established, and their main energy is also on the creation of TV series, and it is still on a certain basis. Maybe a few more years of honing will improve the level of these people. Liu Anran shook his head and said.

"Don't you think that a self-written and self-directed film is often more impressive to the audience? There are so many good films, and most of them are written by directors. ”

Doug? Liman nodded and said, "In that case, I'll follow Paul?" Greengrass contacted him and tried to involve him in the creation of the script. ”

Even if the director knows the script, there is no creator of the script. At the very least, the director who is involved in the creation of the script can grasp what he needs during the filming and what kind of shots he needs to show to the audience.

"You can do these things, anyway, this film has already been handed over to you, and Edward and I will not be too involved." Liu Anran said with a smile.

"You don't have to be in a hurry, Matt? Damon also has a lot of recent film appointments, and he wants to vacate his schedule. He's a dutiful actor, and I don't want him to be too tired. ”

In his mind, Matt? Damon is definitely able to reach the level of a model worker among Hollywood actors. This year alone, he has four films and one animated film released.

And this is not a special case, in the future, you can see films starring Damon every year, as little as one or two, as many as four or five. There are so many films released, you can imagine how tight the filming time is, basically this crew has to run to the next crew after they are done.

So Liu Anran thinks Matt? Damon is a Hollywood model worker, and he is still a very valuable one. There are other model workers, but they are not as good as Matt? Damon's films are remarkable, otherwise Matt? Damon will not be the actor with the highest return on investment in the future.

"Actually, this is what I admire about him, he never cares about the definition of the role, he is also down-to-earth, and he is more trustworthy than many other actors." Doug? Liman also said with a smile.

Exactly Matt? Damon's sense of "thickness" made him choose to be the protagonist of "Spy Shadow", and now it seems to be very successful.
