(Thanks to my friends for their thoughtfulness and encouragement, NVIDIA Titan X12G tips and encouragement)
The waiting time is really painful, especially for the big events related to the future of your life. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Until September 18, when the restless Liu Anran was thinking about whether to call and contact various companies, he finally received replies from two film companies, one is Paramount, a genuine release company in the future, and the other is Universal Pictures.
Liu Anran went to the bathroom to take a good shower to make herself look more energetic. also put on the first suit in his life and carefully tied his tie.
"George, it's up to us today whether we can succeed or not. Well, let's go, first stop, Paramount. Liu Anran looked carefully at his makeup in the mirror and said to George.
He was so solemn that it made George a little nervous. He also knew that the filming time of this film was not long, but Liu Anran also put a lot of effort into it.
When I came to Paramount, I was arranged to wait in my seat after reporting to the front desk. No way, because I was a little excited, I came almost an hour early.
After waiting for more than half an hour, they were led into the reception room with the sweet smile and graceful steps of the front desk lady. Clive was waiting for them.
"Let me guess, you must be the director of this film, I didn't expect to be so young." Goss looked at Liu Anran and pointed to the DVD on the table with only one name and no cover.
"Hello, Mr. Goss, I am the director of this film, Andy Liu." Liu Anran nodded lightly and said.
"Mr. Andy, I've watched this film. I feel that if it is made more beautifully, it should be more suitable for the market. I wonder if you're interested in remaking this film? Goss asked straight to the point.
Liu Anran's heart chuckled for a moment, he knew that he might not be able to play today.
The reason why I chose this film as my first film is because of the low threshold for filming, low investment and high returns. If it is released, it can not only bring you a huge amount of wealth, but also bring you a lot of fame, paving the way for the development of the company in Hollywood in the future.
But now Goss's meaning is obvious, the content of the film can meet the screening standards, but the shooting quality of the film is not up to standard in his opinion.
Where do you have the energy and money to reshoot, and after reshooting, you may be eaten and wiped clean by Paramount. These big studios really live up to their reputations, and they really want to grab every penny of profit for these independent films.
"Mr. Goss, we actually did it on purpose. Because although the shooting effect is a little rougher, it can move the audience even more. Liu Anran made a final attempt.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Andy. If that's the case, I'm afraid we won't be able to work out this cooperation. Goss said with some regret.
"I'm not only responsible for myself, but also for the company. With all due respect, on this film, judging by the current effect, it is difficult to recover the cost of distribution. If you feel like you could consider a remake, you can always contact us. ”
"Thank you, Mr. Goss, and I will seriously consider your suggestion." Liu Anran stood up and said politely.
There was no longer any need to continue talking, and Goss's attitude was too obvious.
"Andy, don't be discouraged, after all, if our film can be selected by them, it means that there is a certain market." After coming out of Paramount, George said comfortingly.
"George, you don't have to comfort me, I know the situation of this film very well, and now I hope that Universal Pictures will not refuse it all at once." Liu Anran said with a smile.
Even if he advances the filming date, it seems that it will be difficult to take advantage of the east wind of "Blair the Witch".
After a few cups of coffee in the restaurant, I finally made it to the time I made with Universal Pictures. This time they didn't go too early, only twenty minutes earlier.
After coming to the conference room of the distribution department of Universal Pictures, Liu Anran was a little confused, because there was not only Smith, the manager of the distribution department of Universal Pictures, sitting here? Turner, there is even the great director Spielberg.
"I hope I won't disturb your conversation here, I'm very curious about this film, and I really want to see who the director is." Spielberg said with a smile after introducing each other's identities.
"Mr. Spielberg, you are putting it too politely, my film is just a follow-up work." Liu Anran said modestly.
"Mr. Andy, you may not know that this movie of yours was recommended to me by Spielberg after he accidentally saw it." Smith said with a smile.
Liu Anran was stunned when he heard it, DreamWorks should have been acquired by Paramount, why is it now mixed with Universal.
"I'm also going to talk to Smith about the release of a film, and I saw it when I was bored, and I thought it was good." Spielberg said with a smile.
"Thank you, Mr. Spielberg." Thank you very much. Perhaps fate is so wonderful, this film is still appreciated by Spielberg in this era.
"Director Andy, yes, some things may not be heard, but I still have to say them. Judging by the quality of the film, you may be limited by the shooting budget, which makes the film look rough. If we can, we can reshoot the film together to make the quality of the film better. Smith said with a smile.
"We can also enrich the plot more, the plot in front of this film is a bit bland, and it can be better foreshadowed. We can also bring in some well-known actors to shoot it, and I think we should be able to get a higher box office. ”
"Or we can give you a $3 million buyout and box office dividends, and we'll take care of the reproduction. It's also less risky for you. ”
Hearing Smith's words, Liu Anran's excited expression dropped directly to the freezing point. George on the side was a little anxious, this is three million US dollars, and there are box office dividends, they can shoot whatever they like, and the money is real. Now he can't wait to agree directly for Liu Anran.
"Sorry, I can't give you a definitive answer right now. Because this is my first film, it's a little rough, but it's all our work. In my opinion, this movie is like my child, and I don't want to die after it's born. Liu Anran said apologetically.
I have to say that the conditions given by the global side are very good, and if you have no other demands, it is really a very good choice.
"Mr. Andy, this is my business card, and I think as a director, we will have a lot of topics." Spielberg took out a business card from his business card holder, handed it to Liu An, and said.
He also meant to reshoot, but as a director, he admired Liu Anran's attitude.
