Chapter 36 Fifteen million or so
"Wouldn't it? How did I sleep for so long? Lu Yan woke up only to find that it was getting late, and he didn't even know how he came back. But then he realized that the place where he slept was not his nest.
In terms of the amount of alcohol, Huang Zhan and the others are naturally much better than Lu Yan. In addition, Lu Yan was already sleepy, and he was already quite confused after drinking some wine with them. In the end, it was Tsui Hark who sent Ye Qianwen back to the Sheraton Hotel first, and then took a lot of effort to get Lu Yan back to his home.
Lu Yan, who sat up, looked around and recognized that he had come to Tsui Hark's house.
For Tsui Hark's family, Lu Yan is also familiar with the road. Since working with Tsui Hark, I often spend evenings at his home discussing the conception, creation and shooting of films. So, he immediately got up and began to wash up and get ready to rush directly to the company.
"Yan Zai, are you up? Go wash your face, I'll give you hot porridge! ”
"Hmm!" Lu Yan saw the woman in front of him clearly, and immediately said, "Sister Nansheng, why are you still at home!" ”
As Tsui Hark's wife, she is also the 'housekeeper's wife' of Xinyi City. A lot of work needs to be managed by Shi Nansheng. And this strong woman has always been resolute. At work, he is not inferior to Tsui Hark.
"The third part of "Best Partner" has been released, and it is a lot easier all of a sudden. However, "Shanghai Night" and "Happy Ghost" are also about to be released, and they will rest a few days in advance. "Shi Nansheng, who is at home, is still very good and virtuous. For Tsui Hark, he is very supportive of many things at work.
In addition, Lu Yan often comes to the house, and Shi Nansheng is already very familiar with him. is also very optimistic about this offspring.
After washing, Lu Yan was not polite, and Shi Nansheng did treat him as a little brother. So he was already very hungry, and when he sat down, he began to wreak havoc.
"Sister Nansheng, why didn't you call me earlier. Did the director go to the company? ”
"I'll help you scold Ark, even if you rush again, you can't stay up like this!" Shi Nansheng nodded with a smile and continued: "I'll let him go and get busy first, it's okay!" ”
Lu Yan smiled and said, "It's better to be Sister Nansheng!" By the way, why do I seem to have heard that "Happy Ghost" was invested by Boss Huang himself? ”
Collective creation is the biggest feature that distinguishes New Art City from other film companies, each film has to go through strict commercial calculations, and the director only needs to execute it. Whether Liang Puzhi filmed "Night Terror" or Lin Lingdong's "Yin and Yang Wrong", it was completed under the supervision of a seven-person team, and it was rarely played. As for collective creation, Lu Yan believes that success is inevitable at the beginning, but problems will arise over time.
"Because the seven of us have different views on many things, each with its own special surname, maybe I compare the female surname, or the middle class, or the fashionable kind, when it is not so successful, if there is a little flaw, you can go back and think about it, come back and talk about it, everyone communicates, and it is a little better. But then the more successful it becomes, the more problematic it becomes, when you are very successful, if people say that you can't do that, you will naturally say, you say no, I say it must work! The more I say this, the more I will be defeated. This kind of so-called gossip, Shi Nansheng told Lu Yan that it doesn't hurt.
Lu Yan nodded, it seems that Huang Baiming, Mai Jia, and Shi Tian have also begun to crack. No wonder I heard Tsui Hark say "Happy Ghost" this time, and Huang Baiming is completely responsible for it alone.
In fact, Tsui Hark is very good at making comedies in New Arts City, but if he wants to try other genres, he is subject to the unity of the command of "collective creation", so he has the idea of forming his own film studio. Originally, he was the first to talk about cooperation with Golden Harvest, but was later moved by the sincerity of Lei Juekun, the owner of the Golden Princess Cinema.
The film studio, like New Arts City, is invested and produced by Golden Princess, so Shi Nansheng can continue to work in New Art City.
In fact, Lu Yan was still very puzzled by Shi Nansheng: "According to me, Sister Nansheng should just come to the studio!" ”
"The studio is so simple, it's filming. I work at New Arts City and have always been in charge of publishing. The new art city itself has a distribution department, but the studio doesn't have a distribution department. Otherwise, why do you think I'm going to work part-time in the studio alone after work! They (the three brothers) knew that I had to work for the studio, because it was my own business. Shi Nansheng said with a smile, the current film studio is still in the entrepreneurial stage. And it is indeed inappropriate for her to leave Xinyi City at this moment.
"So! Yan Zai, you just work hard to help him more. Sometimes he has a temper ......" Shi Nansheng spoke seriously, and suddenly thought of something and said: "I heard Ake say that the next film will be handed over to you that day, do you have confidence?" ”
"Of course I am confident, but after this shooting, I am even more confident!" Lu Yan nodded affirmatively.
Shi Nansheng scolded with a noncommittal smile: "Newborn calves are not afraid of tigers, in fact, Ake told me at that time that I was against it." After all, the studio has just started, how can the shooting of the first few films be handed over to a newcomer! Later, you often came over to talk to him about the movie, and I understood why Ake was optimistic about you. Sister Nansheng believes in you, you will definitely succeed! ”
"Yes! I won't let you down. Of course, Lu Yan also understands the important surname of the second film, and he thinks that when the time comes, he will definitely impress everyone by coming up with "The True Color of Heroes".
…………………………………………….
By the time Lu Yan said goodbye to Shi Nansheng and rushed to the company, Tsui Hark's editing work had been almost done.
"Come and see, and if it's okay, get ready to edit!" Seeing Lu Yan arrive, Tsui Hark immediately pulled the aisle.
Lu Yan also immediately put into work and began to watch it again seriously. Although each set of shots is still put together in order and unedited, the story is already clear. After Tsui Hark's guidance and correction, many of the goofs and problematic places in it have been dealt with almost completely.
"Director, when are we going to release it?"
"Soon, the film was well edited. And this time there is no good schedule at all, so the film will be released as soon as possible. When the time comes, I will fight Shaw Brothers' "Frog Prince" with "Open New Ghost"! Tsui Hark's tone fluctuated a little, and it was clear that he was also looking forward to the studio's pioneering work being quickly available to the public.
"Just the name of our 'film studio'?"
Tsui Hark nodded resolutely, revealing an arrogant expression and said: "Profit and loss are conceited, we must win the battle this time!" ”
Suddenly, Tsui Hark patted Lu Yanxia, "You won't use it in the next few days, anyway, there is no big workload." You get the script you said as soon as possible, and I'll hand it in as soon as possible to apply for funding. By the way, what is your estimated budget? ”
"Fifteen million or so!" Lu Yan didn't blink his eyes, and said a number very casually.
