"Yes, that's right. You coincide with what I had in mind! ”
At this time, when Chen Xiaodong looked at Wang Yue again, he no longer had the anger just now, and even had a feeling of sympathy.
Because the dramas have been sluggish in recent years, but those low-cost comedy-themed movies can't kill a few dark horses from time to time.
And since last year's Thai Embarrassment, Monster Hunt, Tang Detective 1 and other films exploded all over the Internet, everyone's aesthetic style has gradually shifted towards this genre.
Wang Yue sighed halfway: "Director Xiaodong, your idea is good, but this drama is really not suitable for a deviated comedy style." And although your plot is appropriate to the original book, the plot is too messy. ”
Chen Xiaodong said seriously: "Yes, when you analyzed Zhang Xiaofan just now, I already realized that this drama is more suitable for romance. But I'm definitely very good at this plot, and the main line also follows the original book. ”
Wang Yueban replied: "I know, but although you have taken care of both the two parts of romance and fighting, you have not refined them. ”
"I know, but this is a Xianxia drama after all!"
As he spoke, Chen Xiaodong also showed a helpless expression.
Wang Yueban was speechless and said, "No, you don't know. This is a fairy tale drama! ”
Chen Xiaodong muttered a little inexplicably: "It's a Xianxia drama, so I can't shoot all emotional scenes." ”
For a moment, Wang Yueban wanted to give up communication. Why do you always want to adapt a good Xianxia drama to romance?
But they can't be blamed for this, after all, the mainstream of the country is like this, and the special effects technology is not up to par, so they don't dare to shoot a lot of cool fight scenes.
"Director Xiaodong, Xianxia drama Xianxia drama, first of all, we have to clarify this definition, that is, to be immortal, to be beautiful, and to be majestic. Secondly, this chivalry can be applied to the set of martial arts. So neutralization, Xianxia is a high-end fight. Like martial arts dramas, the focus is on the fight scenes. ”
Chen Xiaodong sighed: "Hey, in fact, why don't I know this? But the special effects are hard, and the post-production is so expensive, 300 million is not enough at all! ”
Si Cong, who has not spoken on the side, can be seen at this time. Feelings: You two old things were cheating on me just now? But fortunately, my brother is very good, and he can see the door at a glance.
"Director, let's be clear, if this play is conceived as my brother said, how much more money will be needed?"
Sicong was very unhappy at this time, after all, he emphasized from the beginning that this was the first drama in which they had invested a lot, and they didn't want to make a lot of money, but the reputation and the like must be excellent.
Originally, before he invested, he was already a little optimistic about this adapted theme, and now he is being analyzed by his younger brother. He instantly understood that this play must not be petty, it must reflect the characteristics of high-end, beauty, and fairy spirit.
"Mr. Wang, I'll give you a bottom too. As for our previous script, nearly 100 million yuan will be needed in the later stage, and if the ideas and requirements just mentioned in a month and a half are followed, at least 500 million special effects costs will be required, and it may not be possible to make it until May Day next year. ”
"It's ,... It's been too long! ”
In fact, Sicong still hasn't said a word, that is, the investment cost is too high, if one is not done well, the loss is not one or two hundred million.
Of course, he also knows that if he really invests so much money, the special effects of this drama will definitely be very bad, coupled with his brother's superb acting skills and script, there is still hope that he will be able to pay off.
"Director Xiaodong, do you think this is okay? We will invest another 100 million yuan, and then we will be responsible for all the publicity. In this way, you will have 300 million funds for special effects. And I don't limit your time, as long as the quality and reputation. ”
100 million is the biggest bottom line that Sicong can come up with. Although he is the richest man in the family, he has little liquidity. If it was any more, he would have to discuss it with his old man. And even if it is discussed, it can only come up with about 100 million at most.
"Oh well! We'll go through the script! ”
has 300 million to do special effects for himself, Chen Xiaodong immediately compromised, and even decided that he must change the script very carefully.
Because although he is also a first-line director, in the representative work, he has always been pressed and beaten by Feng Dacang and Lao Mouzi's group.
So he was also aggrieved in his heart, and wanted to make a work that could turn over.
The special effects fund of 300 million yuan, although it is not a lot on the side of the United States, but on the national side, it is the number one big production.
"That's it, you're still in charge of the publicity, and I'll leave it to me as for the special effects, and I don't need to add it, two hundred million is enough."
Wang Yueban, who had been silent for a while, spoke again.
"Brother, are you serious?"
Si Cong looked at Wang Yueban in surprise. If he hadn't known that this person was his own brother, Si Cong would probably have to spray at this time.
Wang Yueban didn't speak, but took out his mobile phone and played them a special effects clip of himself in Zhao Zilong.
"It's... This..."
Everyone gathered around to take a look, and they were immediately speechless in shock.
After the playback, Wang Yueban put away her phone and asked with a smile: "I don't know if everyone is satisfied with this special effect?" ”
"Satisfied, satisfied! If our drama has the blessing of this special effect, it will be absolutely stable! ”
After watching it, the two directors nodded vigorously.
"Brother, wasn't your previous drama a costume? The director is willing to use such cheating special effects? This looks more powerful than those Xianxia dramas! ”
Si Cong knows the drama of Martial God, and he only has an investment of more than 100 million, how can he afford such special effects.
Wang Yueban explained: "This is what a friend of mine did in the United States, he opened a special effects company in the United States, and last time I sent him a video of me, and then he made it for me." ”
"So that's the case, your friend is so amazing!"
Everyone praised one after another, and although Si Cong had some doubts in his heart, he still had nothing to say when there were so many people at the scene.
In fact, there are some friends in the United States, but Wang Yueban used the one he bought in his system to make it before, and he wanted to see the video of the effect.
"Okay, no problem, we are responsible for the publicity, the special effects make your friend, and I am in charge of giving my brother five percent of your movie share."
After the whole thing was finalized, Si Cong took his leave first.
When he left, he was very happy, because he not only saved 100 million, but also stabilized the special effects of this play at the lowest cost.
As for Wang Yueban, he was immediately pulled by the two directors to revise the script.
