038 Swap Concepts
(Thank you friends for your warm winter tips and encouragement)
If the actor's state rises, no one can really stop it. Pen~Fun~Ge www.biquge.info How much did you gain in a day today? not only snatched back yesterday's scenes, but also filmed more than half of tomorrow's scenes.
After finishing work, Liu Anran asked Larry? Cohen took everyone to dinner together, and the only requirement, no matter how crazy he was, was not to affect tomorrow's shooting.
"Hello, Mr. Doug, sorry to keep you waiting." After coming to the hotel, Liu Anran said with a smile.
Doug had an impression, but he didn't know who the person who accompanied Doug was.
"Director Andy, I really envy you for being able to control the shooting of the entire film by yourself." Doug? Liman stood up and said with emotion.
"Mr. Doug, I smiled, I don't know who this is?" Liu Anran asked with a smile after being polite.
"Oh, look at me, this is Tony, the screenwriter of the script "The Identity of Bourne" that I'm going to shoot? Gilroy. "Doug? Liman apologetically introduced his old buddy to Liu Anran.
"Hi Tony, nice to meet you. Feel free, I'm also a director, so I naturally understand the intricate relationship between producers, directors and screenwriters. Liu Anran said with a smile.
A good film involves a lot of various elements. You can't say who is more important in this film, the producer, the director or the screenwriter. On the contrary, it is more often a relationship of mutual constraints.
The screenwriter gives the structure of the story, and the director may have a flash of inspiration when shooting, and refine this structure a little more. Or in the director's understanding, he is not satisfied with some of the original plots, and there will be some changes, and the contradiction between the director and the screenwriter will be highlighted.
As for the producer, he is also the big boss of the director and screenwriter, because he funded the film, and he will definitely have his own demands on this film. If there is not much deviation from the director and screenwriter, this matter is easier to handle, but if the deviation is large, there will be more contradictions here. Between these three professions, they really love and kill each other.
So Liu Anran understands Doug? Liman's envy, because he has the final say in the movies he made, he also watched it for a while while on the set, and the shooting was very easy.
Now looking at the information that George fed back, it is that these two people and the producer of Universal Company can't talk about some things, and it should still be a relatively important thing, which gave him a chance.
"Mr. Andy, this is our script, you see, our production budget is about $50 million." Tony? Gilroy handed the script to Liu Anran's hand and said.
"I want to ask, the copyright of this script has nothing to do with Universal, right? I've inadvertently snatched one of Fox's scripts, and if I rob Universal's again, I guess I won't have to mix it up here. Without opening the script, Liu Anran looked at the two and asked with a smile.
"You can rest assured that I bought the rights to the script from Warner. And I've just been in contact with Universal for a short time, but they are too demanding of our script and will make big changes, so we haven't talked about it yet. "Doug? Liman said with a smile.
"George, call some food and send it over, I think everyone should be hungry too, I'll read the script first." After Liu Anran said a word to George, he devoted himself to the study of the script.
Although he only read it cursoryly, Liu Anran also saw a lot of problems, and there were some discrepancies between this script and the plot after the filming was completed.
But he is not worried, it is only the final version that will be released in the future, and the effect is still so good, which indirectly proves that these two people can still be convinced.
"Sorry, I'm a little hungry, let's talk while we eat." Liu Anran closed the script and said apologetically.
He's really hungry, don't think that being a director is just sitting there and looking at the monitor, you have to control the whole shooting effect, which is also very brain-consuming.
"Mr. Doug, Mr. Tony, after reading your script, I have an idea, can we make a series of movies? The story is so good, it would be a shame if it was just filmed. Liu Anran said with a smile.
"Hey, we're going to shoot three parts too, but we don't know how the first part will look like yet. If the box office is not good, who will make a sequel? Doug said with a wry smile.
The story is a good story, but whether the audience can buy it or not is another matter. Nowadays, the trend of spies is as cool as 007, but in his own script, Bourne is a little too unpretentious.
"Mr. Doug, you've heard George introduce our company. We are a small company, and if we invest in this film, the risk will definitely be even greater. But I really like this script very much, like I just said, not just one, but at least three or more. Liu Anran said after thinking for a while.
"In order to control the risk, I want to own the rights to this script, including the ones that will be filmed later. But you can rest assured, let's not care about the box office of the first part, I will invest in at least three. ”
"You can consider selling the rights directly to me, or you can pay you for each shot. And I can also guarantee that when I make this film, I will appear purely as an investor, and will not interfere with any of your shooting ideas. ”
"Of course, if you plan to shoot three films, some plots in the current script need to be revised to make more foreshadowing for the later filming and make the continuation of the story better, you can consider it."
After finishing speaking, Liu Anran concentrated on tasting the various delicacies in front of him, and didn't pay attention to the eyes of George on the side who kept blinking at him.
If the copyright is not in your hands, it will always be controlled by others, which will bring great hidden dangers to future shooting. So even if you know that the box office will be a big hit after the movie is finished, the first thing you have to do is to get the copyright.
"Mr. Andy, if the script is finalized, you will really let us shoot without any interference?" Doug? Liman looked at Liu Anran and asked seriously.
"Of course there will be no interference. Like the movie I'm shooting now, exactly according to Larry? Cohen's script is being filmed. This article can be written into our articles, and as I said, not only this one, but also the second and third parts can be continued if you are interested. Liu Anran said with a smile.
This can be regarded as a stealing concept, and the premise of non-interference is to determine the script. If you enrich all the plots of the later generations, even if there are some changes during filming, there will not be many changes.
