After the script is completed, it is natural to prepare for filming. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
However, before that, it is necessary to have a bargaining communication with the three major entertainment companies about the filming of the film again.
Any work in the entertainment industry is never a unilateral matter of any individual or any entertainment company.
It is normal for directors to want to fight for their own autonomy in shooting, and entertainment companies naturally want to control the filming schedule of the work and the cost of funds.
After some bargaining, it can be regarded as a balance between several parties to end the bargain.
Zhang Yang finally mentioned the matter of Li Qiang and Zhao Ping by the way, these two people will be their own special screenwriters in the future, and Huaxia Entertainment and Longteng Entertainment will help these two people resign as soon as possible.
The representatives of Huaxia Entertainment and Longteng Entertainment are also depressed, Li Qiang and Zhao Ping were originally sent by the company to study by Zhang Yang, but now they are accepted by Zhang Yang.
However, the representatives of the two companies did not argue with Zhang Yang, and now Zhang Yang's works will become the company's cash cow, and no matter how much depression he has, he can only hold it in his heart.
"I wonder how the shooting scene is being prepared?"
After the ridicule was over, Zhang Yang also turned the topic to the preparation for filming, don't look at the three major companies that are obedient to themselves now, it is also for the sake of looking at the works.
Everything is based on the success of the movie, and if the movie fails, I believe that these people will definitely not give themselves a good face.
"According to your requirements, the construction of the scene has been completed by more than 80%, and it can be completed in two days."
The construction of the scene was something that had been discussed at the previous meeting, and the three major companies were not lazy, everything was in accordance with Zhang Yang's invitation.
"That's good!"
Zhang Yang nodded with satisfaction.
At the same time, I have to sigh in my heart, worthy of the three major companies, from the last meeting to the present, it has only been half a month, such a huge preparation has been completed more than 80 percent, which shows the strength and means of the three.
"Director Zhang, the three of us mean to hold a press conference before the start of filming, after all, this investment is unprecedented for science fiction films, and I believe that reporters are also willing to promote it for us."
This time, Li Teng and the three of them did not attend, but sent a representative at the vice president level of the company, and it was Peng Yueming, the vice president of Tianteng Entertainment Company, who spoke.
"Yes, after half a month, the attention of the movie has begun to decline, and I believe that holding a press conference to start filming now can bring back the attention of ordinary people."
Representatives of the other two companies echoed the sentiments.
No one's money is blown by the wind, and it is a sum to be able to save a publicity fee.
"Okay, as soon as the actor's audition is over, we'll hold a press conference."
Zhang Yang did not object, nodded and agreed.
said that it was an actor audition, but in fact it was just a cutscene, and the three major entertainment companies already knew the roles needed for the movie.
In private, the cast members of each role have been assigned, and there is no need for Zhang Yang to look for them one by one.
Of course, the three major entertainment companies did not fool around casually, after all, the movie was filmed, and it was themselves who benefited, if the movie lost money because of the actors, it would be too late to cry.
"Then it's set in three days!"
Zhang Yang thought for a moment and said.
The actor's letting go is his compromise with the three major entertainment companies, in exchange for the guarantee of the three major companies in the filming of the film, that is, they will not interfere with their filming decisions casually, and in general, both parties get what they want.
In the next two days, Zhang Yang didn't put too much effort into the actor audition, as long as he simply auditioned all the main actors, he found that they were indeed powerful actors, and there was no need to care about it even if he went through the back door.
......
The scene of the press conference.
"Director Zhang, may I ask why he directed a big production with an investment of 40 million yuan this time, and chose a niche work like a science fiction film?"
As soon as the press conference began, the reporters on the scene began to make it difficult to publicize.
It's not that everyone doesn't like publicity, but from the birth of the movie to the first sci-fi film, the sci-fi films in this world have been sluggish, and the highest box office has hovered at 20 million, compared to mainstream movie genres such as history and war, which have sold hundreds of millions of box office, there is really no comparison.
"Huh, niche works?"
Zhang Yang could only smile.
If anyone on earth says that science fiction is a niche work, it is estimated that people will die of laughter.
Although the genre of science fiction films is not very recognized by institutions such as award ceremonies, it dares to say that it dominates the box office.
"Am I wrong?"
Seeing Zhang Yang smile, the reporter who asked the question turned his head and looked at the people around him.
"I don't think there is anything niche about movies, whether it's a science fiction film now, or a horror film that is even more unpopular, it's just because the work doesn't meet the audience's expectations, and if the audience doesn't buy tickets to watch it, there will be no box office, and if there is no box office, there will naturally be no market, and this situation has created a niche work in people's hearts."
Zhang Yang is completely honest when he says such things.
Sci-fi and horror movies on Earth are an important part of the film genre.
"So what does Director Zhang mean that as long as you come to shoot, no matter what type of work you are, you will definitely be welcomed?"
This sentence seems to be consulting publicity, but it is completely pulling hatred.
"Yes, I believe that as long as I shoot a movie, there is no distinction between mainstream and niche."
In order to promote this movie, Zhang Yang can be regarded as open-minded, and his speech has changed from his previous low-key to becoming aggressive.
"Director Zhang, are you saying this too much?"
"Director Zhang, are you so confident?"
......
As soon as Zhang Yang's words were finished, the reporters at the scene instantly blew up, which is too crazy.
But I like it!
Many reporters still wish that the frenzier the better, because this kind of news is explosive enough.
"Everyone, be quiet, the stars of the movie will appear next!"
When the host saw that there was a commotion below, Zhang Yang, who had returned to his seat, had to stand up and stand up.
"The first to appear is the captain Dong Xu in the movie "Alien"!"
In order to appease the reporter's noise, the host hurriedly invited Dong Xu, the actor of the movie.
"Hello Director Zhang!"
Dong Xu greeted Zhang Yang as soon as he took the stage.
"Hello Brother Dong, I've really admired my name for a long time!"
Dong Xu is the king of the entertainment industry, and Zhang Yang naturally has to give him some face.
"Here is the heroine of the movie, Annie Xu!"
"Hello Director Zhang, please take care of it!"
......
The first thing every actor does when he comes on stage is to ask Zhang Yang.
These people have received advice before they came, Zhang Yang is the director of the movie, and he is also the boss, as long as the film starts shooting, the company will not easily interfere in the filming of the movie.
After getting such advice, if these people don't know what to do, won't they be in the entertainment industry for so long.
"Dong Xu, look here."
"Anne Xu, is it okay to pose for yourself?"
After greeting the director Zhang Yang, these actors posed in various poses for the reporter to take pictures according to the reporter's request.
"The last one to come on the stage is our protagonist today, and the ultimate character of this movie, Alien!"
When the reporters finished taking pictures, the host pointed with his big hand, and a huge monster was displayed on the big screen at the scene, which made the scene commotion.
A terrifying head, long tail, sharp claws, and salivating saliva give a very terrifying feeling.
Even some reporters at the scene couldn't help but shudder.
"Holy, what kind of monster is this?"
"Is this monster filmed in this sci-fi film?"
"Why do I feel cold?"
......
The reporters at the scene kept talking while holding up the camera in their hands to take pictures.
"Director Zhang, is this the monster that will appear in the movie?"
A reporter stumbled after swallowing a mouthful of saliva.
"Yes, this is the protagonist of the "Alien" movie, Alien!"
Zhang Yang nodded and said.
The so-called human heroes and heroines in many science fiction films can only be counted as supporting roles, because the real protagonists are often all kinds of monsters and aliens.
The most famous are the "Transformers" series, the "Star Wars" series, etc., in these movies, human beings are only supporting characters for these things.
"May I ask Director Zhang, where did the inspiration for this monster come from?"
"Director Zhang, can you introduce us to this so-called alien?"
There are enough photographs, and the reporters have not forgotten the question just now.
"Alien is a kind of pure life form of the flesh type......!"
Zhang Yang didn't refuse, and explained the monster again.
"It's terrifying."
"yes, my heart is chilling!"
The impact of the alien on the reporters is very big, after all, according to Zhang Yang, this monster is really terrifying.
Parasitism, cavity, corrosion, all of which add up to create this utter monster.
"The inspiration for the alien came from a dream!"
Zhang Yang saw the reporter who was talking about it, and talked about the origin of the alien.
Dream?
Do you dare to be a little more imaginative?
The reporters were shocked when they heard this answer, such a terrifying thing was actually made in a dream, what kind of dream is this nun.
Not only the reporters in the audience, but even the actors on the stage were shocked and curious about Zhang Yang's statement.
"Director Zhang.....!"
......
After a press conference, the alien became the absolute protagonist, and even stars like Dong Xu were left behind by reporters, which made several leading actors on the scene cry and laugh.
