Han Lan really didn't expect that she casually mentioned that she asked Xia Ningxuan to try other styles, she just wanted her to write a new song for the boy group "Xia", but she didn't know how she was foolish, and after writing the national style song, she began to try other styles.

During this time, I locked myself at home and actually played jazz.

Fortunately, after Han Lan crossed over, she made up for the dance when she was a trainee, otherwise she would have really been compared to her.

Having such a ghost object is also very stressful for him.

After tossing with Xia Ningxuan for a long time last night, Han Lan took out everything she knew and showed off, in fact, it was just those few tricks, after all, he really didn't know MJ's dancing before, he just taught himself a few iconic moves to be handsome. The night talk with Xia Ningxuan is mainly about some conceptual things, hoping to inspire her creation.

Han Lan returned to the company this time mainly for two things.

One is that "Angel Angela" was released, and the box office at home and abroad was also released, he went over to see the situation and commended the other members of the team by the way.

Compared with other Tomahawk Entertainment movies before, the release cycle of "Angel Angela" is obviously shorter, probably because of literary films or overly romantic style, and the box office performance in China is indeed not as good as other Tomahawk Entertainment films. Many people hear that it is a literary film, but they will not buy tickets to watch it at all.

But even so, "Angel Angela" has also achieved a box office of 2 billion in China, and has even made a lot of money without losing money.

The overseas box office took 173 million dollars, and the total global box office of more than 3 billion on both sides added up, which is quite impressive.

And the reputation is also very good, which is quite in line with the results of high-quality literary films.

The second thing is about Wang Xianzhi's "A Chinese Ghost Story", he made an appointment with Han Lan to return to the company today, and wanted to talk to Han Lan about this film again. In other words, it is the instructions given by the company.

After dealing with the matter of "Angel Angela", Han Lan made up for a while in the office, and Wang Xianzhi came over with the core members of the team. They also brought a rough cut of "A Chinese Ghost Story".

This film, since the last time Han Lan pointed them out the direction and asked them to rewrite the script, and after reviewing it again, they felt that there was no problem, and then let them do it themselves.

After all, Han Lan wants to film "Zhuxian 1", and she doesn't have the kung fu to run Licheng to stare at them all day long.

And he doesn't know anything about puppet shows.

Although he is a traverser, a traverser is not omnipotent.

At present, in addition to being handsome and having a woman's popularity, he has not received any rebirth gift package at all.

The filming progress of "A Chinese Ghost Story" is even slower than that of "Zhuxian 1", and the filming started before the filming of "Zhuxian 1" started, but now it is all completed here, and the filming progress over there is just over halfway.

But this can't be helped, although "Zhuxian 1" uses a large number of student actors, at least they are all professional; And "A Chinese Ghost Story" uses all marionettes, and they all need to be redesigned and custom-made, so you have to count the extra production time. Sometimes a character even needs to customize several puppets in order to get the best results.

Fortunately, the plot of the movie mainly takes place in the mountains, and there are few people, otherwise if it were in a human urban area, just a group performance would have killed them.

But the arrangement of various microscopic scenes also consumed a lot of their manpower, material resources, energy and time.

Then there is shooting, shooting puppets and shooting real people, there is actually a difference in shooting techniques, and they can't be copied and used, they actually cross the river by feeling the stones all the way, and the number of reshoots is naturally much more than normal shooting.

Not only Han Lan, but Han Yiping also ran over to watch the play together curiously when he "heard the news", and brought several other executives of the company with him.

After all, Tomahawk Entertainment's investment of 200 million yuan has now been allocated 80 million, so you have to listen to it, right?

And the puppet show made a movie, they are also quite curious about what it looks like.

Looking at the group of "leaders" in the conference room, Wang Xianzhi had seen the big scene with Zhao Chengwen, took a deep breath, and played a few clips he brought over.

It's rough, it's very rough, so rough that everyone in the room frowns at first glance.

Wang Xianzhi glanced at their expressions, didn't explain, and sat aside silently to wait for the video to finish.

When the time comes, whether the project is dead or alive will depend on the meaning of these people in the audience.

Han Lan's brows quickly relaxed, in fact, the filming was much better than he imagined, at least much better than the thunderbolt scene in his memory.

Of course, the premise is that the effect is after the film is completed.

Now this film can't be watched, the special effects have not been added, and the voice actors are not in place, which is purely made up by the actors and on-site staff themselves, and is used for demonstration effects. Moreover, the filming was not completed, only a few excerpts were made, and the plot was not fully displayed.

It's not so much a rough cut of the film as it is a puppet and scene display.

In the past few months, Wang Xianzhi has regularly reported the progress to him, with some photos and small videos, roughly looking at the details of the puppets and scenes, as well as puppet operation demonstrations.

The redesigned and customized puppets are indeed more in line with the aesthetics of contemporary young people, especially the fox spirit Nie Xiaoqian, who is very exquisitely done, and her eyes are particularly expressive, as if they are really seducing people's souls.

"it, are you sure this thing can really make money?" After the film ended, Han Yiping finally couldn't help but take the lead in speaking.

In fact, he also represents the meaning of the vast majority of the company's executives, and judging by their reactions, he obviously has the same suspicions as Han Yiping.

"I'm not sure, I never said that this thing can make 100% money, and making movies itself is risky, and the risk is not small, let alone this kind of unpopular theme? But it's still the same sentence I said when I set up the project before, bet that we will be the first to eat crabs. Han Lan said.

Wang Xianzhi still supported them when he heard Han Lan's words, so he felt a lot more relieved.

In fact, what he was most afraid of was that Han Lan was also disappointed after reading it, and he also gave up the project.

Han Yiping's brows were still tightly locked, and the picture of Nie Xiaoqian was paused again: "To be honest, after watching these clips, what impresses me the most is this fox spirit, what else...... It's too stiff. ”

"They're puppets, and if they were compared to real people, they would be stiff, so they can only be described as an art style. Moreover, to make you remember this vixen, our purpose has basically been achieved. Dad, a popular character, is enough to bring fire to a movie. What's more, the plot, special effects, and scenes of this movie are not bad. ”

"Yes, Mr. Han, don't look rough now, that's because you haven't added post-special effects, and when you add post-special effects, you will be lustful, and then there will be professional voice actors dubbing it, then it's another film entirely!" Wang Xianzhi also tried to explain.

Han Yiping looked at several executives of the company, and several executives still shook their heads.
