For Li Chencan's songs, everyone's attitudes are different, but basically two camps of support and doubt are clearly formed.

But from the current point of view, most people have chosen to support Li Chencan.

Because Li Chencan's previous abilities in many aspects have been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, as long as you think about his previous film and television works, and think about his transformation from a historical writer to the chief director of "Old Boy", this kind of support is logical.

Of course, the naysayers have their own reasons.

"The heavy rain that I missed in those years, the love that I missed in those years...... Cough! ”

Li Chencan was accidentally choked by saliva just now, so he had to start again.

The edited version of "Those Years" is basically coming out by now, and after sending it over for post-production, "The Girl We Chased Together in Those Years" will officially become a movie and be sent to the Imperial Film Bureau for review, and if the review is passed, it can be released.

At the same time, there are a lot of things going on at the same time.

For example, right now, Li Chencan is singing the theme song in this song.

"Those Years", this song is not a classic, and it will not be sung for decades, but this song and this movie are so well matched, it is a match made in heaven.

"Those Years" may be a separate song, it is just a song, it may occasionally be a little touched, but this touch will not be big, but when this song is embedded in "The Girl We Chased Together in Those Years", everything becomes different, every lyric. can find the corresponding scenes in the movie, and this seamless collocation is the most precious.

So Li Chencan copied the song "Those Years". Now I'm going to put it in the whole movie as a song I sing, and I'm recording it in the studio for the next few days.

There are still several songs he wants to sing.

"Those Years" and "Meet You in the Sea of People", "Childish", "Lonely Caffeine" These songs will become the songs in "Those Years", but I have to say that these songs are not classics, they are just matched in the songs, so these songs will not appear in Li Chencan's album that plans to create a classic.

"See You Again", "Gardenia Blooms", and "Those Flowers" will also become the soundtrack of the movie, which is different from the original. But in this life, since Li Chencan made this movie by himself, and he sang those songs by himself. Of course, that will also be used in the movie.

After recording for more than two hours, Li Chencan finally finished recording all the songs "Those Years", thinking that he would go home and rest later, which is not just a rest for himself. also went back to see Yang Yifang...... After all, he could feel it, too. If they don't go home, their hearts are very uncomfortable.

In addition, it is also a rest, and in these days of editing, Li Chencan has also broken his heart.

The shooting method of "Those Years" is combined through many methods, so some places use digital camcorders, and they are high-definition 4K resolution, but some places still use traditional film shooting, after all, different scenes need different cameras. This is also common sense.

In this way, the different materials have to be combined into one film. It also requires a lot of hardship and hard work.

After all, it's October now, and a lot of things have to be done in advance, Li Chencan can't spend a few years making a movie like other directors, and it will take a long time to release it at the most, and it is best to find a good schedule for the release of "Those Years", and it can also be released as soon as possible...... Li Chencan had so many things to spread out in his head, and he was even worried that his life was too short......

Therefore, looking for a distribution company for the movie, the matter of stalling is also being carried out simultaneously.

"I'm sorry, Lao Wei, what we are proposing now is already the best plan, and now the competition is so fierce, where will we be able to make time for it casually!"

At this time, Micron Film Distribution Company, a friend of Wei Ansheng's former friend, is now very embarrassed to talk to him.

Wei Ansheng's brows furrowed.

Since the official filming of "Those Years" was completed, Wei Ansheng has been looking for cooperation in the release of "Those Years" at the request of Li Chencan, and at the same time looking for some reliable companies to promote the film.

Now, the film production of the empire is generally divided into two kinds, the first is of course that the film production company has a plan for a film, and then looks for investment in the circle, or relies on the connections in the circle to attract investment from outside the circle and pull sponsorship to make a movie. Of course, there are some of them that are purely specified by investors to shoot the scope and subject matter, so that the director can play in it as if it were a proposition composition.

The second type is the films produced by small groups, which may be a small group's own money, or they do everything possible to ask grandpa and grandma to get the investment, and then let the film be released as much as possible, or seek to get awards and increase popularity......

The second kind of film is independent film...... "Those Years" belongs to the category of independent films, independent films compared with the first kind of films, they have some advantages of small investment, relatively flexible, and a lot of room for directors to play, but their shortcomings are also obvious: the investment is small, so there is no scale, there is no backstage behind it, it is difficult to find distribution, and many movies are made after people go bankrupt but can't get a penny, and they will inevitably become cannon fodder in the competition with large companies......

Independent films are facing such a path, but there are still many people who rush into this road that seems to go all the way to the black, and they will not let go until they die.

There are many reasons, some of which are because they have a dream in their hearts, so they are unwilling to give up. Some people have the dream of becoming famous in a movie, and they can become famous as long as the movie wins awards in some places. Some are dreaming of being small and big......

But among them, successful people are completely rare, and there are very few.

Someone won the award with some unexpected low-budget films, but more often than not, they splashed blood in this bottomless river.

Li Chencan's "Those Years", as an independent film, has a huge congenital flaw that is difficult to make up, that is, it lacks sufficient backing, and there are such and such constraints in terms of publicity and release.

For such a movie, it is best to find a film distribution company to sell the copyright of the film, so that the risk of the film will be transferred to the film distribution company. Then, if the film company takes this movie out to be released, if the box office is not bad at the end, then it's okay, this person also has a certain qualification, if the film company takes the film to package it to participate in the awards, and what awards do they get, it will be better, after all, the winner is still the person who made the movie......

That's the best way out for "Those Years" if it's purely an independent film......

However, what Li Chencan wants is that "Those Years" can be co-distributed and can be shared, rather than buying out the drought and flood income, after all, he is very confident in the movie and feels that there is no need for drought and flood protection.

As a result, negotiations are also difficult.

"Old Wei, to be honest, I'm a little strange, your current career is also promising, why did you suddenly run to get involved with Li Chencan?" The friend sitting opposite Wei Ansheng said with a little curiosity: "And now there is basically no hope for this kind of independent film to strive for a better schedule and distribution, if Li Chencan continues to get a micro-movie, it will be better, after all, the micro-film is for people like him...... But moving to the current big movie, it's really not suitable for him, his foundation here is too thin. ”

Wei Ansheng only smiled slightly: "I must have my own reasons...... I think he still has a good chance of success...... So, tell me the truth, what are your conditions......"

"We can only offer buyouts." Wei Ansheng's friend said: "I won't consider it for the time being...... You know, we have a blockbuster film that is about to be released, and at this time, we can't be distracted by sharing with him. ”

Wei Ansheng nodded, a little disappointed in his heart, and his friend said, "But you can also consider buying out...... Then as long as this movie is released in the summer next year, it should be able to get good box office revenue if it works well......"

"You know how much you can get out."

"Ten million! This is because of my relationship with you, as well as the added value of Li Chencan's fame...... Otherwise, we can get up to five million for this film! Wei Ansheng's friend said categorically.

Wei Ansheng immediately smiled bitterly when he heard this, ten million ...... Isn't that!

After the post-production of "Those Years", counting some of the pre-publicity investments that have been smashed in, the cost of the film has soared to 20 million, and if it is sold for 10 million, it will cost Li Chencan 10 million, not to mention, he originally wanted to share, so there is no way to negotiate with Micron.

"It's not that we're offering a low price." Wei Ansheng's friend said: "You also know the market, you can only blame him for making this movie too well and raising the cost too high, this price is our limit, you should think about it." ”

"Don't think about it...... He won't accept that. Wei Ansheng shook his head and smiled bitterly: "I won't accept it if I change it." ”

"Then ...... I can only wish you all the best of luck! Wei Ansheng's friend said.

Wei Ansheng nodded, in fact, Micron is not the first such film distribution company, he has almost been hitting a wall in the past few days, not that they can't watch this film at all, but they have little patience. (To be continued......)
