Chapter 432 Huge investment budget

After Li Chencan thought of this movie, the excitement in his heart couldn't be hidden.

This is a very good and famous movie in that time and space, and it has influenced many people.

Just do it, Li Chencan began to draw the manuscript.

Li Chencan's manuscript is indeed not the best, but his manuscript is quite excellent in the display of space and picture logic, so his drawings are usually layered, with a fairly strict logic of time and space.

At this time, on his picture, on the beach, the smoke of gunpowder is filled, and you can see at a glance that he is painting a picture of a beach landing, and the characters are described relatively simply, but you can also see that many soldiers are rushing up.

After all, the pictures are so little, and the energy is so much, Li Chencan can only mainly describe the feelings of a few people.

His painter, anyway, he can't be an artist...... Plagiarizing comics is not up to the task, but if it is only used to outline some graphic features, it is more than enough.

In one breath, Li Chencan drew a lot of drafts of the storyboard script, and the outline of a beach-grabbing landing battle was slowly outlined.

A good director is often a painter with great attainments in painting, and many famous directors are also very accomplished painters in painting.

Li Chencan is a little weaker in this aspect, but it is enough to be able to draw a clear relationship between time and scenery, these are not focused on beauty, after all, Li Chencan is not specialized in drawing. What these things pay more attention to should be a clear logical relationship, and you can know how to make a movie after watching it at first glance.

Draw until you get tired. Li Chencan began to write the script for this movie, although he hadn't read the original script of that movie, but with his experience in the crew for so many years and learned so many things, just to make a movie script, and he had also seen the movie script of that movie, it was really too simple.

"Infernal Affairs" and "The Girl We Chased Together in Those Years" were all like that, and those two films later proved to be very well received.

The construction of the script. Li Chencan also needs to spend more thought.

This movie will be directed by Li Chencan in this time and space, the first foreign film from that time and space, so. In many scenes of the movie, dialogues and the like, he has to spend a lot of thought pondering.

After having the experience of "Old Boy", "The Girl We Chased Together in Those Years", "Infernal Affairs". Li Chencan's handling of these scenes is relatively simple. He already had enough experience in the background substitution and some construction of the two worlds.

What's more, his "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" has also completed such a huge project, and it is definitely not the first time he has done this.

However, Li Chencan also encountered some trouble when constructing the script, so he immediately called Wang Bingning and began to ask her to send him some books. These books are a large list of books related to the history of World War II, and colleagues have all kinds of research information......

He wanted to shoot a realistic battlefield in this film. Therefore, he can't drop the chain on the details of building these battlefields, if the chain is dropped, it will be able to bring many negative effects at that time.

If there is a common-sense mistake in a movie, it is more or less a flaw for the movie, and Li Chencan cannot be said to completely avoid flaws now, where the movie is really completely in line with history, it is necessary to find historical and military consultants to carry out in-depth refinement, he himself grasps the general genre, but even so, he must be able to understand a lot of knowledge.

He will start to make up for this knowledge now...... Anyway, with the ability to remember at a glance and ten lines, coupled with Li Chencan's current super learning ability, he can learn many things in a short time, and the degree of learning is much higher than the so-called learning level of others, after all, Li Chencan's ability is there......

After more than an hour, these books were delivered directly, there are more than ten books in total, covering all aspects, it is almost enough to read these books, and you will have a clear enough understanding of the various weapons and tactics of that era. Li Chencan thought about it a lot and watched a lot, so he had a better idea of these things.

After more than two days of being busy like this, the plot outline has been finalized, and the storyboard script has also depicted several more important scenes on paper.

Li Chencan is now very handy at doing these things, and his efficiency is also very high, and it doesn't take much time for these things to come out.

Then, Li Chencan began to talk to Sun Yunzhang about this new film plan, and everyone began to plan all aspects of the new film plan investment...... In this way, everyone is a little frightened by this budget.

"Nine hundred million!"

When Li Chencan saw this number, although he was not dumbfounded, the ten fingers of his hands were also tightly clasped together, and he put them in front of his eyes and thought carefully.

He didn't expect that this film would ask for his own 900 million yuan anyway! He used to think that according to "The Girl We Chased Together in Those Years" and "Infernal Affairs", even if the current story was filmed, it would cost at most five or six hundred million, but now, his estimate is still seriously low.

"That's a bit too much." Li Chencan frowned and said, "There should be a way to reduce costs." ”

Wei Ansheng spread his hands and said to Li Chencan: "Of course it's not a problem to reduce costs, we have many ways to reduce costs...... For example, reduce the size of the screen and reduce the number of extras during filming...... But I guess you won't be happy with that. ”

In fact, Li Chencan asked this sentence, and he also knew that it was a vain question.

It's okay to reduce costs, but that's to reduce the quality of the movie.

Otherwise, relying on some thrift can of course also bring about a decrease in the consumption of movies, but that is not a long-term solution after all, and it can't drop too much.

If you really want to reduce the consumption of movies, you can only consume all kinds of things in movies...... The first thing is to reduce the scale of investment in films, which of course reduces the quality of films.

To reduce the quality of the movie, Li Chencan will not do it.

From "The Girl We Chased Together in Those Years" to "Infernal Affairs", Li Chencan spent a lot of time, and he also put a lot of thought into the movie, and made the movie very well.

He has high requirements for the quality of his films, and many of these things are directly required in terms of details, which may come from his feelings in another time and space.

In that time and space, making movies was really too restrictive, with a big knife like national review hanging high, and all kinds of investors posing as bosses to guide the country, and many times they needed to knock out their teeth and swallow them in their stomachs.

In such a shooting environment, it is very difficult for a director to really make a movie according to his own ideas.

Below, once the investor cuts off your film funds, there will be no source of capital income, and the film is likely to be killed and stillborn. In the process of filming many things in this film, once the film violates the country's laws, policies and regulations...... That's even worse, even if a huge amount of money has been invested, even if these funds can't be recovered, but the state says you can't release it, then you can't release it......

Therefore, to be a director and a good director in that time and space is to play the balance of walking a tightrope and the wisdom of walking on the ice, all of which are indispensable.

From such a time and space, Li Chencan has also seen many directors' films, and he no longer dares to pursue quality and quality, but begins to pursue how to take out the money in the pockets of the audience...... How can we meet the needs of investors and the country at the same time......

Therefore, after coming to this time and space, Li Chencan does have great resentment about this matter, and he especially wants to really shoot high-quality movies, which is his strictest requirement for himself, which cannot be broken.

Wei Ansheng also knew Li Chencan quite well, and what he said also hit Li Chencan's heart at once...... He definitely doesn't compromise on the quality of his films.

"You're right......" Li Chencan smiled bitterly at Wei Ansheng, and then said, "Then we need to find another way." ”

Wei Ansheng and Sun Yunzhang glanced at each other, and Wei Ansheng said first: "The first way...... It's just to put this plan on hold, let's shoot other movies first, and then make the current film when the conditions are ripe. ”

Li Chencan shook his head directly, Wei Ansheng was not surprised, in fact, he also knew more and more about Li Chencan's character...... Now that Li Chencan is here, it's almost the same! And he also has some very strict plans, which cannot be destroyed casually.

From Li Chencan's point of view, he wants to shoot this film directly...... This is basically non-negotiable, mainly because he has already come to the feeling and has the feeling that he must make a movie.

After coming to this plane, he believed in the existence of this feeling even more, and also believed in the correctness of this feeling.

He shouldn't have missed it anyway...... Besides, big investment is a big return...... This time, he realized that his funds were still not enough, and he still had to make money so that he could devote himself to filming movies without being constrained at all.

These are also the direction of Li Chencan's efforts in the future, there are so many good movies in his head, if these movies are not made, it will be really a bit tyrannical, but after filming, he doesn't want to be constrained by others because of financial problems. (To be continued......)
