After sending off Producer Zhang, everyone had a brief exchange of words, and had a general framework for the details of cooperation and the division of interests, and then Manager Zheng and Manager Yan were busy with their work, and they also had to draw up various cooperation terms and discuss the details of the negotiation, which did not require Zhou Yi to participate too much. As long as the good news comes back from Producer Zhang, the negotiations can be started.

Since both sides have sincerity, these tasks are easy to handle, and it is estimated that the other party will not open his mouth, there is no need.

Even if you don't have Gryphon Media, you can always find other companies to work with.

With high-quality film and television drama projects in hand, Zhengdong Pictures has the initiative, so naturally there is no need to worry.

Money and manpower are often not the most important thing, but the project is the most important thing.

Otherwise, you will have no money and manpower, and you will be useless.

Zhou Yi has the memory of his past life, so he can make a few projects casually, but other companies are not so easy, often determine that a project has to be discussed repeatedly, and it may not be able to guarantee the recovery of costs, which is very difficult to think about.

To be able to meet a suitable project, it does take an opportunity, and I believe that Griffon Media will not miss it lightly.

And they can come up with very good directors and enough manpower to be eligible to participate in the investment.

Otherwise, it's useless if you have money, it's not that you have money that you are eligible to share the cake.

How many wealthy people outside the circle are waving money, but are they eligible to join in?

With Manager Zheng and Manager Yan to deal with this matter, Zhou Yi was very relieved, he just had to wait to sign the contract.

At present, only Zhuo Qinglian is left in the conference room with the little secretary to accompany Zhou Yi. The little secretary Xi Wei stared at Zhou Yi curiously, seeming to be very interested. Zhou Yi smiled and teased her: "Little sister Xi Wei, do you want to take a group photo and sign an autograph?" It's a rare opportunity! ”

"Hee-hee! I'm not a little sister! I'm older than you! Xi Weijiao smiled and ran away.

Zhuo Qinglian smiled: "Let's go back to the office!" There's a lot more to do! Ah Yi, you have a new film, and you're going to be busy again recently. ”

"yes!"

The two returned to the chairman's office, and Zhuo Qinglian sat at his desk, indeed having the work at hand to deal with.

"Sister Zhuo, what are you busy with?" Zhou Yi asked curiously.

"Naturally, the budget for new films must be done in advance. Are you usually idle? Zhuo Qinglian smiled.

"The budget for the new film! It must be a lot higher than "Five Poison Gate"! ”

"That's for sure. I read the script carefully, and in general, this film is still a small production, the scenes are not big, there are no special requirements for the exterior, they are all indoor scenes such as palaces and inns, these don't cost much, but it is a big deal to build Chongxiao Tower. If you want the movie to be exciting, the tower must be built well, not shoddy. This place costs quite a bit more. Zhuo Qinglian explained.

"That's true." Zhou Yi nodded in agreement.

"Just Chongxiao Tower, without a budget of millions of Chinese dollars, can't be built at all, and the effect is not ideal." Zhuo Qinglian was writing on the computer while talking to Zhou Yi, "There is also the cast and crew, the tide is rising, and it will cost a lot more." Compared with "Five Poison Gates", these two pieces of expenditure are relatively large. The cost of making zuò alone is probably more than 10 million. ”

"This is normal, it is impossible to always push the cost of making zuò below 5 million yuan!" Zhou Yi can understand.

"It's good if you're mentally prepared."

"I've thought about it for a long time, so the most important thing about the first film is to try to accumulate more money. It seems that it is a very correct choice for TV dramas to find partners, which can effectively save our money, and in movies, we will be more relaxed. Otherwise, we are going hand in hand, and the funding is really stretched. After all, there is no way to return the funds of "Five Poison Gate" in the near future. "Zhou Yi is very clear about these things.

"Under normal circumstances, in fact, the funds will not be so tight, you have to go to school, and you are in a hurry to make a film during the holidays!" Zhuo Qinglian said with a smile.

"Haha! That's right! In fact, if I can't cooperate, I may have to embezzle the manuscript fee, but that will be settled in June. ”

"Now we don't have to, it's a lot easier for us to have griffons working together. This kind of cooperation between second-tier companies in the industry is the norm, and we have to adapt to it. Not only do we find others to cooperate, but when you become famous, and Gao Song is more famous, others will also take the initiative to cooperate with us. This kind of cooperation in the industry is the mainstream, otherwise it will be difficult to mix without allies. Large-tier companies also need to cooperate. ”

"That's true. Sister Zhuo, you're busy! I study scripts. ”

When Zhuo Qinglian was working, Zhou Yi sat on the sofa next to him and began to read the script and study his role.

He's not in a hurry to go back to school, he's going back to do these things anyway, just stay in the company!

In the near future, he will play two roles, one is the movie role "Xiangyang Wang Zhao Jue", and the other is the TV series role "Ouyang Ye". In contrast, of course, movie roles are more difficult and important to play, while TV series roles are much easier.

The role of Ouyang Ye is just a modern high school junior, and it is not difficult to perform in his true colors, and he does not need too many acting skills.

With an experienced director on-site to guide and explain the key points of the performance, you can basically perform it logically.

But the role of Zhao Jue, the king of Xiangyang, is different.

This is a costume role, and it is also the role of the prince, a character who is determined to take revenge, which is quite different from Zhou Yi's reality, and the performance is very difficult. Playing this role, it is obviously not good to perform in true colors. This is exactly the reason why Zhou Yi values this role, which has the effect of honing his acting skills.

It is not easy to go from the military commander agent performance school to the film and television performance school, how can you do it without going through difficult training?

If you can play this role well, presumably Fang Gang, the protagonist of "One-Armed Knife", or Qi Xingxing, the protagonist of "Cold-Blooded Thirteen Eagles", will not have much of a problem, at least it will not be inferior to Wang Yu and Dillon in the previous life, and there will be a complete fight.

In order to be fully prepared, Zhou Yi will take time to ponder the role from now on.

Filming will start after the college entrance examination, and you can't study it then, so it's too late.

There are performance imitations of old works in previous lives, of course, it is not a problem to perform them, but the key is to perform their own characteristics and style. The performances of the actors in the previous life were very good. But the plot of this world has changed, and there must be corresponding changes in character performance, and you can't blindly copy it.

In terms of performance, Zhou Yi is very willing to use his brain to think.

Thinking about it, he had a good idea.

"Sister Zhuo, do you think I should invite an etiquette teacher to train me in the near future?" Zhou Yi asked.

"Huh?"

Zhuo Qinglian raised his head, thought about it, immediately understood what Zhou Yi meant, and said with a smile: "Ah Yi, you are so smart, it is really good to have this idea." The role you want to play is different from the little junior brother of the Five Poisons Sect, and he must pay attention to etiquette, after all, he is a prince, not a gagged beggar, a chivalrous young man who pretends to be cool and handsome. The latter you just need to gag and pretend to be cool and handsome, but the prince must not perform like this, and he must have dignity. ”

"Yes! That's what I thought. Zhou Yi nodded.

"If you want to play the demeanor and bearing of this role, as well as the majesty and nobility on your body, you must not be able to play the youthful image of the young students of Guozijian. And even if this character is strong in martial arts, he can't play a brave and ruthless murderer. ”

"That's true."

"It's not easy to achieve this kind of desired effect, it's not that if you think you can perform that majesty, you will definitely be able to perform, it's often just an illusion. You have to get every detail right, so that you can create a good character. In this way, it is necessary to hire a professional etiquette teacher who is good at this aspect. Zhuo Qinglian agreed.

"So who do you please? Is there a suitable candidate in the industry? Zhou Yi asked.

"Leave this matter to me, so you don't have to trouble Manager Zheng and them. We don't need candidates in the industry, I directly asked an etiquette teacher who trains agents from the military commander, and I will do a special training for you in the near future. Zhuo Qinglian said.

"The etiquette teacher who trains the agents?" Zhou Yi was surprised.

"Agents don't just have to fight and kill, they sometimes need to attend more formal occasions. Some agents always have to play some more noble identities, how can they do without special training from an etiquette teacher? Isn't that revealing? You get the idea. Zhuo Qinglian explained.

"That's great! Sister Zhuo, let's do it! Zhou Yi was very satisfied.

"In this way, we can save a lot of money, which is much cheaper than hiring people from the industry, after all, we are our own people in the military command." Zhuo Qinglian wants to make careful calculations for the company and wants to save money, after all, the company is not rich now, and he doesn't care about anything.

"Haha! Sister Zhuo just looks at it, the money that should be spent still has to be spent, and she can't be stingy. ”

Zhou Yi smiled and pretended to be generous, but it was naturally better to save money, and his money was not blown by the wind, so he couldn't waste it casually. This is different from inviting students to eat and drink cold drinks, and the funds are not of an order of magnitude!

Seeing that Zhou Yi was so happy, Zhuo Qinglian also smiled, could she still not know Zhou Yi's careful thoughts?

Sometimes, this little guy is also a stingy person!

"Also, since the construction of the Chongxiao Tower in this film is the top priority, I plan to invite a master from our military command to help us design and build the Chongxiao Tower. I think it's better that way, and saving money is a small thing. ”

Zhuo Qinglian had a flash of inspiration in his mind, and he also thought of a good idea.

"Huh? That's great! That's a great way to do it! ”

Zhou Yi's eyes lit up and he felt that this was really a good idea.

Of course, it is good to have professionals from the military command to help build buildings and build landscapes and design institutions. They are always much better than some designers in the industry, after all, there is a specialization in the art industry! Movies don't just need looks and performances, these professionals are very important.

In this way, the effect of the movie will be better, and it will definitely far exceed the level of the old works in the previous life.

After a brief discussion, the two finalized the matter. With Zhuo Qinglian's connections, it is easy to do these things. According to Zhuo Qinglian, the master of the military command organ she wanted to invite was named Zhong Suiren, who was very skilled in this regard, and had also done grave digging and robbing graves before, and was later recruited by the military commander. No wonder you can save money, so that's how it is! Zhou Yi was stunned.

However, when he heard the name "Total Broken Man", Zhou Yi couldn't help but shudder, is it really good to choose a name like this?

"It's not a 'total broken person', it's a 'Zhong Sui person', the Sui people of the Sui clan!"

Zhuo Qinglian explained with a smile.

That sounds like a lot of money.

In fact, of course Zhou Yi understands, it's just a joke. He laughed at this time, and thought to himself: This guy wouldn't have been called Zhong Sharen in the first place, and later joined the military command, pretending to be elegant, and later changed his name!

If Zhong Suiren knew that Zhou Yi slandered him so much, he would definitely not come to help.

People's names are already very high, okay? Ignorant juniors will think wildly!

Do you think that people have done tomb robbery and digging graves before, and their names will be taken randomly?

In addition, regarding the framing of the Xiangyang Palace, Zhou Yi also thought about it carefully, and discussed it with Zhuo Qinglian in advance.

The Xiangyang Palace is the most important scene in the film, and of course it has to be made gorgeous and exquisite.

Chongxiao Tower can be built in the studio by itself, but Xiangyang Wangfu definitely can't build it by itself, isn't that crazy? Besides, there is no such big place to build, where is there enough space in the studio! Do you want to go to the film and television city to build? How much does that cost?

This is not a super blockbuster with an investment of over 100 million!

Zhou Yi couldn't afford to spend money at all.

Lang Jun would do that!

How can you make a big deal without money?

In fact, Lang Jun will not be so messy and foolish.

Zhuo Qinglian's idea was that the crew could go directly to Prince Gong's mansion in Yanjing to shoot the scene.

Zhou Yi thought about it for a while and thought it was good.

Nowadays, some of the royal palaces of the Qing Dynasty have been preserved, but many of them have been diverted for other purposes, and there are even many government offices, and some places are used as schools and residential areas, of course, you can't go to those places to shoot.

But Prince Gong's Mansion is indeed more suitable, it can be visited by tourists, and it can also be used for film and television drama shooting.

A lot of film and television dramas are filmed there, and there is no problem at all.

With the relationship between the military commanders, these things are easy to do, and there is no need to go to other places to shoot, which is more economical.

Although Prince Gong's Mansion is a Qing Dynasty building, it is no problem to only take certain scenery, it is much stronger than the simple and stingy pattern in the previous life, after all, Hong Kong was limited to the pattern in the previous life, and it was impossible to make a particularly atmospheric and solemn scenery.

However, the interior scenes of the people are very exquisite, which makes the overall style of the film still very good, and it can be watched completely.

These excellent places are also worth learning from.

If you shoot in Prince Gong's Mansion in this life, the effect will only be better.

If there are some inappropriate places, you can use post-production special effects to make zuò.

Besides, the crew can't really go to other film and television cities to shoot, this is just a low-cost film, so how much does it cost to toss back and forth? Whether you are flying or taking a car, it is inconvenient to carry photographic equipment, and renting it will increase a lot of expenses.

As for Huairou Film and Television City, there doesn't seem to be a particularly suitable scenery, Zhou Yi didn't pay much attention to it, but it can't be better than Prince Gong's Mansion. Last time, "Five Poison Gate" was filmed there, and this time it can't be too similar to the location, so forget it.

What's more, there is a TV series here! Zhou Yi couldn't leave.

The TV series must be filmed locally in Yanjing, and you can rent a school to shoot it, and you don't have to run around at all.

In fact, if you can go to Xiangyang Wangfu to shoot and shoot live, the film effect will naturally be better, the key is not to go, after all, Yanjing and Xiangyang are separated by more than a thousand miles, and it takes 12 hours to take a car, and it is naturally fast to take a plane, but how much does it cost the whole crew? That's not convenient either.

Small-budget films really can't be tossed so much, and they can't afford to toss.

If the company has more funds in the future and can shoot blockbusters, Zhou Yi is also willing to shoot and play everywhere in the world, but not now.

Now filming still has to try to save money.

When the box office funds of "Five Poison Gate" are returned, the peripheral sales also have a good income, various distribution rights and broadcast rights are sold, high-definition discs have been earned, and advertising endorsements have been shared, and then the company's financial situation will be completely relaxed.

At present, of course, you can save money.

In fact, the Xiangyang Palace, which is from the Ming Dynasty, is not the Xiangyang Mansion of the Song Dynasty, and the effect of the Qing Dynasty architectural framing is not too much. After all, this character is fictional, where will there be a real mansion! In particular, this film does not have that kind of outdoor panoramic shots, and it is basically an indoor scene.

Filming in Prince Gong's Mansion is more than enough.

Zhou Yi and Zhuo Qinglian discussed, and the matter could basically be determined.

In terms of the tower, the professional masters of the military command were invited to help design and create a new tower. Xiangyang Palace, go to Yanjing Prince Gong's Mansion. As for other locations, just go to the film and television city to shoot, and it's all done.

In this way, the interior and exterior scenes of the film are available.

Of course, the specific work depends on the director's meaning, but I believe that Director Zhao will definitely be satisfied.

What else do you want for a low-budget film?

Things were agreed, Zhou Yi felt that there was nothing to do, and continued to study his role. He didn't know how Gao Song and the others prepared for the role, but he must have worked extremely hard in advance to play so well, and it is estimated that the preparation work is very cumbersome. Didn't you see them come out occasionally, go to the fan restaurant to promote the film, and then go back again? They didn't play around, they must have been preparing for the role of the next play.

Ten minutes in the play, ten days outside the play, this is less.

You can't see how much effort people put into the play.

You can only see that people are acting well.

It's really not easy to make a movie, and it's really not that easy to play a brilliant role well.

Zhou Yi is now going to work harder.

During this time, he not only had to hire a dance teacher for his sister's special training, but he himself also had to receive special training from an etiquette teacher, so it was estimated that he would be very busy. After the college entrance examination, it will be even busier, but as long as you can shoot this drama well, it will be worth it.

As long as two consecutive dramas are successful, even if he is not the absolute protagonist, but his role is brilliant and his acting is exquisite, his popularity can be stable, at least he is not an unknown person in the industry, and he can be regarded as a wrist. That's what a name for yourself!

Next, playing the leading role in the movie, he no longer needs to rely on the popularity of others, and he can play the role alone.

After all, you can't play the starring role, and you can never be a star.

At present, this is Zhou Yi's wishful thinking.
