Chapter 281: The Decline of Cannons
February 17 is the Chinese New Year's Eve of the lunar calendar.
Zhang Tan watched fireworks in Jinhua City, Zhejiang Province, and after the opening cannon was lit at 12 o'clock, it was the new year, the Year of the Pig in Dinghai. On May 2 of the Gregorian calendar, the sixteenth day of the third month of the lunar calendar, after his birthday, Zhang Tan will be twenty-one years old.
In terms of real age, Zhang Tan is actually just a young man who has not yet reached the legal age of marriage.
But if you really have to think carefully, he is almost thirty-six years old this year.
As the saying goes, men have three (four) eleven flowers, basically men in their thirties, have a small career success, have experienced ups and downs, have enough experience, know how to please women, for women, is the kind of man they want the most, and has a fatal attraction.
Often at this age, the partner around him has basically become a yellow-faced woman with "women thirty tofu scum".
So men in this period are at high risk of having an affair, and they have a little money, and they don't know how to be chic, so they go to pursue little girls to meet the life they fantasized about when they were young.
However, for Zhang Tan, he didn't have this kind of thought, he was the age of a flower, but he had a young body, and he had a successful career early. The subject, Susa, is the most beautiful age of a woman, like a budding rose, blooming for him alone.
Life is harmonious and happy.
Well, to be precise, life outside of the Chinese New Year is very happy, and the New Year is not good.
This year is very difficult for Zhang Tan, just like last year, when he came to Jinhua City, he would always be pulled by Susa's relatives to pour wine, and his enthusiasm was difficult to refuse. After being drunk for three days in a row, he simply pretended to be sick in order to escape the endless banquet.
As soon as the sixth day of the new year arrived, he flew to Beiqi with Susa.
The preparation of the film should be carried out as soon as possible.
Chen Li, Wang Xiaoyu, and Yu Hui also arrived on the sixth day of the Lunar New Year. Together with Zhang Tan, he began to prepare the crew.
"Robbery and Abduction" is a small-budget movie, and the scene is very small, so the requirements for the composition of the crew are not high. It's enough to pull the crew up. It may be a little tricky to choose the actors.
In this world that has read files, there are no people like Huang Bo, Guo Tao, Wang Xun, Xu Zheng, and Liu Hua.
"Gather the crew staff first, and then consider the choice of actors, and if necessary, you can ask Huayi Brothers to help find actors, they started from artist agents and have strong connections." Zhang Tan was a film director for the first time, and his feelings were completely different from when he made commercials and short films. There's so much to juggle right now.
His eyes swept over Chen Li and the others, and Zhang Tan said: "The four of us are the director team of "Stealing and Abduction", and I am the director, needless to say. Chen Li served as the executive director and was responsible for on-site shooting; Yu Hui served as an assistant director and part-time casting director; Wang Xiaoyu served as an assistant to the director and assisted me. ”
Chen Li nodded: "No problem." ”
His family has a family background, and his grandfather used to be a director. filmed the Wan Wan series again, on the director's experience. It's richer than Zhang Tan.
The director team made it clear, and Zhang Tan outlined other positions: "The photography team asked Feng Shaozhuang to be the first photographer, and Ma Kai was responsible for the lighting; The recording team was handed over to Li Duan to be in charge; Props group Wang Xiaoyu, you take it first; The makeup team was handed over to Wu Yali. In terms of outreach and co-ordination, I will ask Sister Li to arrange someone to come over. ”
A crew, the main framework is set like this.
As for the producer, producer, and producer, these are very important in other crews. In Zhang Tan's crew, there is no need at all. Zhang Tan's authority in the crew is absolutely 100%, and there is no need for producers and producers to share power. When a blockbuster movie is made in the future, there can be a producer and producer to share the pressure.
"What about me?" Susa heard Zhang Tan's division of labor and did not have her own name. Immediately came over.
"You?"
"Uh-huh."
"You can run a trick." Zhang Tan scratched the corners of his eyes and said.
Susa suddenly made a pitiful look with tears in her eyes: "Isn't there a heroine for me to play?" ”
Zhang Tan turned his head and refused: "This is a tough guy play, there is no heroine, and there are not even many supporting actresses, so you can study in school with peace of mind." ”
"I graduated in the second half of the year, and the school didn't arrange any courses for my senior year, so I can't be idle."
After thinking about it, Zhang Tan said: "Otherwise, you will learn the film production process first, and in the future, you can enter Luying and be responsible for the investment and production of the film." ”
In his bones, Zhang Tan didn't want Susa to show up as an actor, but he hoped that Susa could stay at Nortel to teach and become a drama teacher. Otherwise, help him take care of Luying Company, Zhang Tan has always been nepotism, Luying can't always be a leather bag company, and there is a lack of supervision by someone who understands movies.
On the side of the Luzhou studio, his parents are supervising, and he has no skills.
It's not that she doesn't trust Li Yan, but once the company's stall grows, Li Yan will inevitably lack skills. Zhang Tan's ambition is not big, but he hopes that Lu Ying is a production company that completely obeys him, and with Susa in charge, he can be like a finger.
……
The original version of "Crazy Stone" was filmed in the mountain city of Chongqing, and Zhang Tan felt that Ning Hao and they had designed the background of this movie very well. So he didn't make many changes, and continued to use Chongqing as the background.
Chongqing's biggest impression on Zhang Tan was that the light rail actually passed through the building.
It is said that Chongqing people give directions to others, and they all say "go up from this side" and "come down from that side", and the complexity is definitely five stars.
Since he was going to shoot in Chongqing, Zhang Tan didn't waste time, and while contacting the actors, he flew to Chongqing to inspect the filming location.
If you are looking for a filming location here, you will naturally have to communicate with the local government.
The Chongqing Municipal Government learned that Tan Zhang, the famous king of writers, was going to come to the mountain city to make a movie, and attached great importance to it. Immediately arranged for a deputy mayor, deputy director of the Municipal Propaganda Department, and director of the Municipal Tourism Bureau, who were not low in the municipal government, to receive Zhang Tan and arrange the shooting venue.
Chongqing City is a municipality directly under the central government, and the same level as the province, and the vice mayor is equal to the vice governor.
This reception grade is very high and quite face-giving.
The sedan chair was carried by everyone, and Zhang Tan did not refuse the reception banquet arranged by the deputy mayor, and had a meal in the guest house. During the meal, I coped with a few words of praise. said that he would use movies to promote Chongqing, improve the cultural thickness of Chongqing, increase the quality of tourism, and so on.
It is impossible for the mayor, minister, and bureau chief to accompany Zhang Tan not to work, so after the reception, it was their secretary who led Zhang Tan to find a shooting location in Chongqing.
It didn't take many days. Zhang Tan and his entourage found a shooting location.
The main filming location is located in the Luohan Temple in Yuzhong District, as well as several streets in the lower half of the city, as well as nearby houses and buildings. After determining the filming location, the Yuzhong District Government immediately said that it would fully cooperate with the filming crew and provide the best service guarantee so that the crew could shoot here smoothly.
And on Zhang Tan's side, it was easy to find a shooting location at the same time.
There was sad news from Lu Ying's side.
"Robbery and Abduction", which was filed and approved by the company, has not been reviewed, and the reason is the name, and the review committee of the Film Bureau believes that this movie is the name. All of them are negative factors in society and can cause bad misleading.
"Dizziness, a movie name, has so much to worry about!" Zhang Tan said he was very unhappy.
But there was no choice but to change the name again and submit it for review again.
After going back and forth, he still didn't get rid of the word crazy, and changed back to "Crazy Stone" as the title of the movie. This time the review was fast. Within a week, it was approved. Guidance from the Film Bureau was given - to agree to shoot.
The film project was approved.
Huayi Brothers' publicity immediately followed up, and immediately announced Zhang Tan's film debut-female film.
Zhang Tan's micro-blog and Luzhou studio's micro-blog also released information to the public.
"The Year of the Pig is a great luck, and the movie "Crazy Stone" that I wrote and directed has been approved, so stay tuned."
"After three years of sharpening a sword, Tan Zhang has been practicing the divine skills of the directing department for three years. is about to debut with the first film "Crazy Stone". This film is the first film directed by Tan Zhang, and it is also the first comedy written by the screenwriter since the martial arts drama, and it is a crazy humorous experience for everyone. ”
As soon as the news was released, it became a hot topic.
For Tan Zhang's talent, Chinese people are no longer strangers. He is recognized as a leader in the field of martial arts culture. The novel has sold well at home and abroad, selling more than 100 million copies, and the ratings of the adapted TV series have repeatedly set off storms. Zhang Tan changed his career to director, and his fans have been looking forward to it for a long time.
However, to the surprise of fans, Zhang Tan did not choose to shoot martial arts films, but chose comedies. It's not surprising that there is an online phenomenon of "Never Expected", but this sense of expectation will inevitably decline.
His fame is indeed a household name, but too many people will associate him with martial arts.
If Zhang Tan said today that he wanted to make a martial arts film, then everyone would warmly welcome it, thinking that with Zhang Tan's talent, making a martial arts film would definitely bring great excitement.
As for comedies.
It's a bit unsatisfactory.
"Tan Zhang has studied in Nortel's directing department for three years and has not yet graduated, if he really wants to change from a writer to a director, he should first shoot martial arts movies. I am very optimistic about his talent in the field of martial arts film and television, he is a talented young man, and I wish him a good movie. ”
Zhang Dabeard, who was busy preparing for the new TV series "Dragon Babu", answered this when he was asked by a reporter "What do you think of Tan Zhang's film debut-female film".
Liu Anfeng, who has made it clear that he will play the heroine Wang Yuyan of "Dragon Babu", was also asked this question by reporters, and Liu Anfeng replied with a smile: "I am good friends with the detective, I think he is a person who can bring infinite possibilities, this "Crazy Stone" will definitely be the best comedy of the year." ”
These two are Zhang Tan's acquaintances, so they will naturally speak for Zhang Tan.
Not necessarily for others.
Because he made a blockbuster film "Day Banquet" last year, the famous domestic director who caused a sharp drop in word-of-mouth, Feng Dacang, who created the New Year file, came to Nortel to communicate in order to promote his new movie.
did not escape the media to pull Zhang Tan in and ask him: "Director Feng, Tan Zhang is a student of Nortel's directing department, and now his graduation work has attracted a lot of attention and chose a comedy theme, as a senior in the director circle, you have made Feng's comedy that is deeply loved by the audience, so do you have anything to say to him?" ”
Feng Dacang had a very loud voice: "Tan Zhang, I know, martial arts is a talent, but when it comes to comedy, it may be a little worse." I've seen what they did 'not expect', it has no connotation, laughing for the sake of laughing, it's very rough, and if you make a movie in this style, you will definitely fail. (To be continued.) )
