Chapter 933: Eighty million
In the second week of its release, "Han Bo and Lingshi" sold 260,000 copies.
Compared with the 800,000 in the first week, the magnitude of the decline is really a bit anxious. However, Sun Peng is not in a hurry, because he knows the potential of this set of books, and what he needs is patience; And the Light Wheel Publishing House is not in a hurry, because the first printing of new books has already begun to be reprinted, which is considered to have completed the sales task.
Word of mouth is such a thing, it's good to accumulate it slowly.
So when several film companies wanted to talk to Sun Ya about the various adaptation rights of "Han Bo and Lingshi" out of speculative considerations, and wanted to take advantage of the small impact, the agent lady responded to them without hesitation and refused.
In this regard, she absolutely trusts Sun Peng unconditionally.
So after the people who were paying attention to Sun Peng shouted for a while, the parties acted as if nothing had happened, and the results and comments of "Han Bo and Lingshi" had nothing to do with themselves, and continued to focus all their energy on filming "League of Assassins".
I have to say that modern cinema is indeed a systematic project.
The world's Chinese film industry, both in scale and maturity, surpasses the earth. So although he is a guy with half a bottle of water, with a complete script and various setting drafts, and with the assistance of Sima Gang, Song Qun and others, Sun Peng's work has become extremely simple......
"Speaking of which, when you're around, I feel like I'm even a little dispensable!"
After reviewing the footage taken during the day together at night and confirming that there was no problem, Sun Peng couldn't help but sigh.
During the daytime shooting, the two assistant directors almost arranged everything for him according to the shooting plan, and because Sun Peng's script was detailed enough, and all the sub-shots of each subsection were drawn, Song Qun and they even took over the work for the actors, cameramen and lighting crew, training group actors and supporting actors, leaving Sun Peng with the control and decision of the final shooting!
So after watching the daytime footage at this time, Sun Peng couldn't help but sigh like this.
"It's normal, as a director, you just need to be responsible for the overall control."
Song Qun, who was a little tired today, yawned, smiled reluctantly and said, "Not only on your side, but also on other directors!" Xiao Wei and I have worked with so many big directors before, which one will really control all the shots by himself? Let's just talk about the bear...... Let's just say that in the last movie where I was an assistant director, in order to catch up with the schedule, the crew was divided into four, and the three assistant directors started filming at the same time, that is, I just showed the finished things to the one who took a look at them at night. ”
"It's the same on my side, and I often shoot independently."
Han Mingsen, who had already packed up his things next to him, also interjected casually at this time.
For these assistant directors, who played an important role in the filming of the film, but no one paid attention to it on the cast and crew after the release, they have long been accustomed to such processes and results.
And......
"At the end of the day, we're the executors."
Han Mingsen also couldn't understand what Sun Peng was thinking at this time, and after hesitating for a moment, he smiled and said: "Even if you control the shooting, it is the director's ideas and ideas that are realized, and in essence, the foundation of a movie lies in the director...... Ahem, I thought it was a little strange a few days ago! ”
"Huh? Strange what? ”
Raising his eyebrows, Song Qun subconsciously asked rhetorically.
After a little hesitation, Han Mingsen smiled: "Of course it's strange Mr. Sun's shooting plan!" It's almost strictly in accordance with the storyboard script, so don't you ever have any other ideas, shoot some spare shots or something? ”
"This ......"
After listening to Han Mingsen's words, Song Qun also looked at Sun Peng with some doubts.
He had heard about Lao Bai's magic from his old friend Wei Xiaolin, that is, as long as the script was written and the shots were drawn, he would never revise it! It's not at all like other directors, if you can't get some shots accurate...... Even if some plots are not accurate or due to this, some spare ...... will be filmed This is also the reason why a 90-minute movie, many directors can shoot dozens of times as many shots as it, and then the editor becomes a profession.
But here in Lao Bai, this convention seems to have no meaning at all.
When this guy shoots a certain segment or a certain shot, he will even plan the time accurately to the second, and then the shooting will often make the assistant directors scratch their heads - they can't figure out what the scene in his mind is like at all!
If it goes on like this......
Han Mingsen can almost imagine that the film will definitely set a new record for the length of the film at the end!
"Haha, no!"
Although there was some drumming in his heart, Sun Peng still waved his hand calmly and smiled: "I am different from others, I already have an idea in my heart about what a movie will look like in the end, and there is no need to change my mind temporarily or revise it later, so as long as it is shot according to the script...... Ahem, if I have to say something, it may have something to do with my ability to write and picture books, right? ”
“……”
After listening to Sun Peng's words, the two assistant directors looked at each other and were silent at the same time.
This......
Is there a gross relationship between writing and making movies?
Even if there is a relationship, it is also the relationship between adaptation and adaptation, and how many shots are shot by your director...... Could it be that there really is such a genius in this world?
"Buzz ......"
Just when Sun Peng was secretly snickering, and was about to beckon the two to discuss tomorrow's plans, and then hurry back to sleep, the mobile phone he put on the table at hand suddenly vibrate.
Picking it up and taking a look, Sun Peng was suddenly happy.
"Director Wei, do you have something to do with me?"
"Well, about that Terminator."
Wei Xiaolin's voice on the phone was still very excited, and he said loudly: "We have already made a budget here, and the production cost is less than 80 million!" Even if the actor's salary is added, it will not reach 150 million, and they are willing to invest in full...... The rest is just the actors! ”
"Yo, you're very efficient!"
After hearing the figure of 80 million, Sun Peng nodded with satisfaction.
Although it sounds like the famous "Terminator", the production cost of 80 million sounds shabby. But Sun Peng knows that this first part is relatively simple, and there are no big scenes and difficult special effects shots, and it really doesn't cost much if it is filmed.
At the end of the day, the early Cameron's director doesn't have much to make.
So after laughing, Wei Xiaolin continued: "Xiaopeng, how about you say that our heroine invited Lin Lin to play?" ”
"Lin Lin? You invited her? ”
Hearing Wei Xiaolin say this, Sun Peng was stunned for a moment.
But in the blink of an eye, he understood what Wei Xiaolin meant, and then said with a smile: "No! Brother Wei, I understand what you mean, but this film...... Haha, it's really not suitable for my cousin! ”
Of course, the first part is fine, but when the second part is going to be filmed in two years, do you still have to make Lin Lin forty years old?
So after rejecting Wei Xiaolin's proposal, Sun Peng was afraid that he would not be at ease, so he simply smiled and said: "Brother Wei, you can make your own ideas about this actor, after all, it is your movie, and the hero and heroine can make your own decisions!" But if you don't have a suitable role for that villain, I can recommend it to you later......"
