Chapter 400: All-Star Lineup [Three Watches]
Chapter 400 All-Star Lineup [Three Watches]
Yang Lin's body has always been well maintained, and there is no problem no matter how he checks it. If there was a problem, Yang Lin would have solved it through the system's medical assistant. So soon Yang Lin left the hospital, but the news that he had been in the hospital was greatly exaggerated by reporters, as if he had some incurable disease.
After Yang Lin sent Liu Yifei home, he came to the Firefly Studio, and now everyone in the studio is busy, and no one is leisurely. He looked at the staff members in a state of their work, and then did not disturb them, but quietly walked into his office, although he was not often here, but the studio arranged a small office for him in the limited space, so that he could have a place to stay.
Yang Lin opened his drawer, and then took out the script and plan book that he had printed before. He's managing a studio now, so there's a lot to consider. There are quite a lot of things involved in this "Old Boy", and since this movie is going to be used for commercial purposes, the songs involved in it must be negotiated with other companies, so as not to have any commercial disputes after it has been released.
"Let's take a look at these songs first, let's try to get the copyright fee right, but the attitude must be clear. We don't have to have these old songs, we have a lot more options. You don't need me to say that you know everything. It's a song that's going to appear in the script, so you can help with it. Yang Lin handed him the folder, and then said, "Now we are going to prepare for the shooting." You also have to do the things of sponsorship and advertisers, and it's hard for you. ”
Yang Fan took a look, and then asked in surprise: "No, how can a movie need so many songs?" "Lights on the Stars", "Can't Stop Loving You", "Pink Memories", "Sailor", "Happy Birthday Song", "Ao Bao Rendezvous", ......... Sixteen songs! ”
Yang Lin smiled and nodded, he replied, "Actually, this is a bit less, I still have to add Mike Jackson's songs." Forgot to write here. These songs are all quite related to the plot in the play, some are sung by the protagonist, some are used as background music, and some are interludes. ”
Yang Fan nodded, he didn't know the content of this script. But when it comes to the business side of things, he's not ambiguous at all. "Since you're shooting a modern fashion drama, do you have any thoughts on product placement or something?"
"Actually, the less of this, the better, it's better not to see it, after all, I don't want too many ads to be flooded with it, after all, we're not bad for money, and the first movie is as good as possible. But product placement can have: But you have to listen to us, or you will say goodbye to them. Yang Lin's tone was very resolute, he didn't want his studio's first film to be criticized for too many advertisements.
"This product placement needs to be discussed with director Li Junxiao, after all, he is the real person at the helm, I am just a screenwriter, producer, and producer. The most I can accept is prop implantation and scene implantation. These two also have to be blurred a little bit and cannot be given close-ups. ”
Yang Fan nodded, he wrote all this down on a piece of paper, and then solemnly put it in his pocket.
"Brother Fan, it's not okay for you to be so busy, you better find a helper. After all, you can't be busy alone, and the studio needs such characters. ”
Now many things have to be done by Yang Fan himself, and he is now the brains of the Firefly Studio, responsible for deploying the entire studio.
Yang Lin looked at his script, the actors on it were not determined except for himself, he took a pen and wrote down the names of the characters one by one. Then think about who should be the best choice, and it must be good quality and cheap. …,
"I should play the role of Xiao Dabao, I like to play the guitar, and after graduation, it is the wedding of the elderly, and this role is just for me. But who is this Wang Xiaoshuai, who likes Michael Jackson and likes to dance? He looked at the script and muttered to himself. kept imagining the image of Wang Xiaoshuai in his mind, to see if anyone could be more similar to him.
Wang Xiaoshuai can be funny, some must be sensational, and he spans from his student days to middle age, and he can't do without a certain amount of acting skills, so those idols are not considered, he is thinking about China's acting schools, people like Ge You naturally can't want it, he is vacillating between Andy Lau, Aaron Kwok, and Tony Leung.
Wang Xiaoshuai likes to dance very much, so he has a lot of dance scenes in the movie, so Andy Lau and Aaron Kwok, who have a foundation in dance, are the primary targets. These two are one of the four kings, and they are both multi-habitat development, Aaron Kwok, who was originally disadvantaged, has been particularly popular in the past two years, last year's Golden Horse actor, Academy Award actor, and this year's Golden Horse actor nominations all show that his acting skills are no longer Wuxia Amon. Andy Lau is also surrounded by many actor titles, which makes Yang Lin embarrassed.
"Who should I choose? There's no way I'm going to let the two of them audition, it's unrealistic. "He wrote the names of two people as candidates after this role." I'm really thinking too much, maybe neither of you has a schedule. "This is just an ideal situation.
"The two leading actors, Wang Xiaoshuai and Xiao Dabao, have been confirmed, and now they are supporting roles." Yang Lin said to himself, he felt as if he had fused reality with ideals, and kept thinking about these stars.
"Bang bang." There was a knock on the door, and Yang Lin replied without raising his head: "Please come in!" "He analyzes the personality of the character on his own and then matches it with the star.
"You're finally back, I'm about to fall apart!" Li Junxiao lay on the chair with all his body weak, and said weakly, Yang Lin looked at him in surprise, and then asked, "What's wrong with you?" How tired it is like this. ”
This opened Li Junxiao's chatterbox, and he complained: "It's not because the MV of "Bei~Beijing Welcomes You" is so noisy, every star has to show his face, and he has to combine their MV with the audio track, and he has to ensure that everyone can appear, and the time arrangement must be reasonable, and there are a lot of things to do." The most critical point is that the Olympic organizing committee pushed too hard, and let us hand over the finished product to him before New Year's Day. And the Burberry commercial you shot is also urging me, I'm going crazy! ”
Yang Lin looked at Li Junxiao, who was a little broken, and then reassured: "Those who can work harder, you can just leave some simple things to your subordinates, such as the previous assistant director, he should be able to help you." ”
He looked at Li Junxiao and was about to open his mouth to complain again, so he quickly changed the topic and said: "I'm thinking about the actors of the movie "Old Boy", you can help me refer to it." Li Junxiao rolled his eyes, and then complained: "It's like this again, hey, it's a hard life." ”
He looked at Yang Lin's plan, then jumped up in surprise, and asked with some surprise: "Oh my God, the all-star lineup, how much do you want to invest?" The actor's salary alone is a lot of money! ”
Yang Lin smiled slightly, and then said: "The investment is not big, at most fifteen million." The biggest cost of this movie is the actors, and the rest don't cost much. And we can also recover some of the funds through advertisers and sponsors, you don't have to think about this money, you have to consider what actors are suitable. ”
Listening to Yang Lin's tone, Li Junxiao couldn't help complaining: "If you have extra spare money, you might as well use it to improve the quality of the film, why do you have to get so many stars, isn't this adding to the chaos?" ”…,
Take a look at Yang Lin's ideal list of actors, it is An Yixuan who plays the school flower, after all, Liu Yifei is too immortal, and she is a little unworthy of the requirements of the role. Wang Xiaoshuai once pursued this school flower, and he has high requirements for acting skills, he is charming in the early and late years, and he must have an aura, otherwise he will be made into a vase under Andy Lau's aura.
And Bao Xiaobai, the gangster who was bullied by Xiao Dabao and Wang Xiaoshuai, later contracted a TV program and held a talent show. Yang Lin likes this role very much, and he is ready to let Huang Bo play it, such a role is very suitable for him, and at the same time it can bring him a breakthrough.
One by one, the actors were listed by him, they are simply all-stars, and even the judges who only appeared once in the draft are stars. Li Junxiao is actually quite excited, the first time he directed a movie, there were so many stars joining, even if the quality of the film was poor, he could recover the cost.
"Actually, we don't have to do this, we can ask Huayi to help. We don't have a theater chain now, so if we give a few less important characters to Huayi in exchange for the support of their theater chain, this account is very cost-effective. "I don't see that Li Junxiao is still a business-minded figure.
Yang Lin nodded, and then said: "This list is just the most ideal list, I don't know how many people can be invited." Our investment is limited, so we have to save on our salary. I'll get in touch with them and ask if I'm going to have a schedule, and I'm okay lately anyway, so I'm just contributing a little bit to the studio at that time. ”
Sending Li Junxiao away, Yang Lin looked at the list in front of him in a daze, he likes this list too much, there are countless stars, big and small, if you can really gather so many stars, then the topic is needless to say, the first steadily.
