Chapter 311: Successful Test of Waters
"Yes, the director I hired is a director with a very good reputation in the industry, and every movie he makes is a masterpiece." Adrian explained. He mainly thought that the company's first time making a movie was to test the waters, so he invited a director with a good reputation, so the box office is a bit guaranteed.
Fang Yichen hurriedly signaled him to stop, high-quality movies don't mean they must be big sellers, how many high-quality movies are not all in the end.
"I just want to make a comedy before Christmas, and I don't want to make it a masterpiece, you have the wrong positioning, go back and communicate with the director immediately, and ask him if he can shoot it in a month and a half, and continue to use him if he can shoot, and change people if he can't finish filming."
Advertisement,[Source change artifact APP] is really good, it's worth installing one, after all, there are many sources, all books, and fast updates!
Adrian frowned, "But if you change the director temporarily, I'm afraid it's not so easy to find, good directors need to be booked in advance, or I'm afraid there will be a conflict in the schedule." What he means is that even if you don't look for a big director to make a movie, you have to find a good reputation, you can't just pull one and start filming, when the time comes, the shooting will be a mess, it will be on time, but no one will watch it or lose all your money.
"This is not a problem, if the United States can't find a suitable director, then let's go to other countries to find it, I think as long as the money is in place, we will definitely be able to find a director who can meet my requirements."
"Okay, I'll coordinate when I go back." Adrian took a quick note in his notebook.
As a result, he called the next day and said that the original plan was that the director would quit the director, and the director meant that if he asked him to make a movie, he had to follow his pace, or find someone else.
As soon as Fang Yichen heard this, he immediately ordered a replacement, and as for the candidate, Adrian didn't have to worry about it, she hung up the phone and called Wang Yiwei directly, asking him to help invite a certain director surnamed Liu in Hong Kong, but she knew that the director was famous for making movies quickly.
So a week later, "Home Alone" officially started filming. Director Liu does have a lot of advantages, after coming here, he didn't rush to the set first, but met with the investor, that is, Fang Yichen, and had in-depth communication, and clearly knew what kind of movie effect Fang Yichen wanted as an investor, so he organized people to start shooting.
Fang Yichen followed for two days and saw what Hong Kong speed is, and then he was very relieved to go to his fan club.
At the end of August, Camilla Fang held three book signings and a fan meeting, each of which was crowded with fans inside and outside the venue, which is enough to see how popular Camilla is now and how many fans she has.
In addition to singing a few songs at the fan meeting, she also had to be interviewed by some media.
Most of the media are friendly and ask gentle questions. Only one reporter came up and asked Camilla if she could take off her coat and show her arms for her to take a picture.
Fang Yichen glanced at the male reporter, then turned his head and smiled at the cameras of other media outlets.
"Camilla Fang, every time you appear in front of the public, you wear such heavy makeup, may I ask if you don't look good enough to dare to wear no makeup. You can't take the makeup off your face in front of the camera. ”
Catherine, as an agent, came to do the event with Camilla today, and at this time, she directly commanded the security guards on the side to maintain order, and forcefully invited the troublesome reporter out.
Not surprisingly, the next day, various media in the United States were overwhelmed with reports on Camilla Fang's gossip. The headline of one of the media outlets was the most unusual, with the middle section reading in large letters, "100,000 yuan, let me see what Camilla Fang's arm is hiding!" ”
The content in it is that someone really paid 100,000 yuan and wanted Camilla Fang to take off his coat in public.
The story made headlines that day, and the gossip was broadcast in prime time on various television stations, and for a time Camilla Fang was once again the talk of the entire United States.
Director Liu also knew that the investor was such a topical artist, so he immediately contacted Camilla and said straight to the point that he wanted her to play a cameo role in the movie. In this way, the movie will be more interesting and topical.
Fang Yichen thought about it and felt that what he said was very reasonable, so he took a few days to make a cameo role.
In this process, her acting skills were praised by Director Liu, saying that she is very talented and will definitely be a very good actor in the future. And I hope to have the opportunity to work together again in the future.
Fang Yichen immediately invited him to "Home Alone 2", she plans to shoot the next part after filming this one, American movies love sequels, and she also plans to continue this theme.
Director Liu thought about it for a few days, and when "Home Alone 1" was completed, he gave Fang Yichen a clear answer, and the two would continue to work together to shoot movies.
Director Liu didn't know how correct his decision was today, from this moment on, he became Camilla's queen director, and he shot almost every step of the movie she invested in. He did make a lot of money for Camilla, and at the same time, Camilla also made him one of the most famous and top directors in the world.
After Fang Yichen watched the edited "Home Alone 1", he praised Director Liu's ability, it can be said that the comedy directed by him is more interesting than the original version, in addition to more laughs, its educational significance is also more profound.
Simply she handed over the screenwriters of "Home Alone 2" to Director Liu. She is only responsible for the structure of the story, and the content is filled in by Director Liu herself or by someone else, and she only looks at the final result.
In early December, Home Alone was released simultaneously in more than twenty countries. Among them is Hua Guo, who specially asked people to make a Chinese version.
As a result, "Home Alone" was a great success, as expected. It is like a dark horse, entering the Christmas New Year, because of its exaggerated and interesting plot, the wonderful performance of the young actors, was rated as the best comedy ever made in the United States, of course, it brought infinite happiness to the audience, but also brought the investor, that is, Fang Yichen, the box office champion for several months.
At the same time, because she made a cameo appearance as a neighbor's young lady in the movie, the scenes were not too many, and she appeared for more than ten minutes in total, but her superb acting skills and likable role made her receive a wave of praise and a group of fans.
At this time, Fang Yichen was not in the United States at all, but went back to China for the winter vacation. However, when "Home Alone" was released, she took her family to the cinema to see the premiere.
Several grandparents were amused by the cute and brave children in it, and then they couldn't recognize their children's heavy makeup in the movie.
"Yaya, what are you doing here, why are you still making yourself ugly, don't you love beauty the most?" The straight man asked puzzled.
"Nonsense, how beautiful a girl is." Grandma Li was not happy.
Fang Yichen nodded, the old man didn't appreciate it, how beautiful her makeup was!
