Chapter 693 - Custom Movie
For Sun Xiaorou, Chai Ying paid special attention. came over and took Sun Xiaorou's hand: "I've heard of Mr. Chen's name before, and I've seen it on some occasions, so we will communicate more in the future and communicate with each other in business." ”
Both are people in the shopping mall, Chai Ying and Mr. Chen should have known each other in the past, but they have never been mentioned in Ye Tianmian.
The first set of shots lasted for two hours, and the crew returned to the top of Niujiaoling, and the big director watched the sample film, was very satisfied, and called Gaishi over to teach the skills face-to-face.
"Gaishi, when the camera is aimed at you, you must have an expression, according to the development of the plot, or angry, or anxious, or calm. A good actor will always have expressions on his face, not like stones, and these expressions you can practice deliberately. There are relatively few expressions in this scene, but after entering the plot, you will feel that if there is no expression, a person has no soul in a scene. ”
Gai Shifu nodded obediently: "I understand, I must read the script carefully, and I will think about it carefully when I go back." ”
It was precisely because of Ye Tian's advance reminder that the big director was on the scene, and he was kind to everyone and did not lose his temper.
In the next scene, the hero and heroine ride in the same car and speed on the Niujiaoling winding mountain road. At the same time, the male protagonist fully showed off his skills, which caused panic among the heroines.
The two of them sat in the cab, and Chai Ying walked over and told the world: "Safety first, don't just show off your driving skills and frighten Miss Zhu." ”
Sun Xiaorou watched from a distance and asked Ye Tian in a low voice: "How many girls like Julia are there in your Media College?" ”
Ye Tian joked: "The girls who learn to act are all excellent, how many are needed." ”
Sun Xiaorou smiled: "Impossible, if there was such a certainty, Principal Jin Li would not have sent so many people out and worked hard to put Julia on the throne." ”
Ye Tian stopped joking and said seriously: "In the past few years, there have been very few students like Julia, many students have left school and gone to places like Hengdian, and finally become nameless supporting roles. After a few years of struggle without success, and then it disappeared. ”
Sun Xiaorou nodded and said: "It is not easy for a school to have one or two first-line actors in each level of students, after all, this is in Jinling, not Yanjing." ”
Sun Xiaorou's words have actually hit Jin Li's sore spot.
On the side of the School of Communication, more than 300 students from the acting department are trained every year, and in the end, none of them succeeded, which made her a very faceless principal.
At the same time, when the teachers of the admissions office went to recruit students all over the country, they were also speechless when asked what outstanding students had been produced in the school.
Of course, this state is abnormal, according to Jin Li's concept, students at each level must cultivate one or two domestic second-tier actors to become famous. She had told Ye Tian many times before, but it was up to people to make things happen and things to succeed, and those students in the acting department, not to mention that they were comparable to Julia, even those who were similar to her were difficult to find.
Now, Jin Li puts all her efforts on Julia, which can be regarded as a very wise move.
Filming continued until 12 o'clock at noon, and the crew called it a day. The drama sent a box lunch, and everyone sat on both sides of the road and began to eat.
The big director was very satisfied with both Gaishi and Julia, and called the two to his side during the meal to continue to discuss the plot.
Ye Tian didn't bother, but sat on the side with Milan to discuss the development of the company.
Milan's mood has always been peaceful, and it is her presence that keeps the company running smoothly. She was able to calm everyone's contradictions, and now she has become the right-hand man of the great director, although the workload is large, but she is very happy.
"Ye Tian, I really hope that starting from this movie, our film and television will open up a new side. The great director has told me many times that he has a lot of resources in his hands, but he lacks good ideas. He was very optimistic about Xia Meng, but Xia Meng went abroad to study, which made him a little disappointed. A while ago, he was optimistic about another girl, but something happened, which was also a blow to him. ”
Ye Tian understood that what Milan was talking about was the matter of Shui Ling, and the will of heaven was like this, and no one could disobey it.
Now the appearance of Sun Xiaorou seems to have given the big director courage again.
In addition to maintaining the operation of the film company, Milan has been integrated into the training of the School of Communication, and Jin Li values her very much, allowing her to act with the students of the acting department and give advice on teaching.
Ye Tian's team is like a snowball, getting bigger and bigger. Everyone either looked at his face or was attracted to him, and they all joined in.
Milan mentioned that the students at the School of Communication, every time they talk about Ye Tian, they regard him as a role model and a goal for themselves to catch up with in the future.
Just after eating, Mr. Chen's car came over and stopped on the side of the road, and Ye Tian and Sun Xiaorou went over to greet him.
It turned out that what she was looking for was a great director, and with Shen Zhengnan's incident, the title of King of Mahogany would never be handed over to others again, and would always belong to her. Therefore, she wanted to ask the big director to make a legendary movie related to mahogany.
The two of them stood by the car and chatted for a few words, and the big director's emotions suddenly became excited: "Great, I have long wanted to make such a good movie with a legendary character, if you can provide materials, we will cooperate and we will be successful." ”
Mr. Chen smiled gracefully and luxuriously: "I have sorted out all the materials, so that your team can enter the state under the command of Xiao Rou." All the investment is settled by me, and the final copyright is also owned by me, and you are only responsible for the production, how about it? ”
The big director frowned: "That's impossible, I've never done custom work, according to what you said, I became a contractor, and finally the finished product came out and sold my own children to you, which is not good." ”
It was supposed to be a good project, but the two people had a disagreement about the final ownership of the film, and the project was about to die, so they couldn't talk about it at all.
Mr. Chen smiled: "This kind of movie similar to autobiography, the copyright should naturally be handed over to me." But don't worry, I will set a high price for the commission, and I won't let you suffer. ”
The big director waved his hand: "What do you call this?" No amount of money can buy my hard work, I never make movies for money, you can ask Ye Tian, I cooperate with him, who cares about money? ”
Sun Xiaorou immediately walked over and stood behind Mr. Chen, ready to explain to Mr. Chen at any time.
Ye Tian smiled, he understood the temper of the great director, once he got angry, no one could control it, and even the wind was thorny, and the gun was with a stick.
Of course, he also believes that with Mr. Chen's self-cultivation, no matter what the big director says, she can handle it calmly.
"Ye Tian, come here." The big director shouted hello.
Ye Tian walked over, put his arm around the shoulders of the director, and smiled and played a round: "The two leaders had a good talk just now, why did they suddenly change direction?" I heard you say that you want to make a movie about the Redwood Family, which is a good subject matter that many viewers like, and it also meets the needs of today's propaganda department. ”
Mr. Chen smiled faintly: "Of course, the last time I mentioned this idea on Hong Kong Island, many directors and actors were willing to join." I just talked to the big director, and he was also interested, but no one could compromise on the copyright issue. ”
The big director raised his eyebrows angrily: "Ye Tian, tell me, at my age, it's too easy to make a film and sell it for money." If I want, I will shoot dozens of films every year with my name on them, and each one can sell for millions, is it easy to make money? Now I want to dedicate myself to art and make a good film, which is related to mahogany and promotes traditional Chinese culture. Mr. Chen said that he would pay me to shoot, is this reasonable? ”
Xiao Rou wanted to speak, but Ye Tian immediately stopped it with his eyes, and told Mr. Chen with a smile: "I'll talk to the big director for a while, don't worry, since it is a good project, it will definitely succeed." ”
Ye Tian pulled the big director to the distance and sat down to drink water. The big director is still indignant: "If you want to buy me with money, there is no door." I am a film critic and judge of major domestic awards, if I can be bought, do I have to wait until now? This project is really good, if Mr. Chen can't cooperate, I can find someone to rewrite the story and invest in it myself. ”
Ye Tian waited until the other party lost his temper before he smiled and whispered: "Senior, if you are given 100 million, will you shoot it?" ”
The big director was taken aback: "Who would invest 100 million to make such a legendary movie?" It's not a Hollywood blockbuster, and according to my estimates, investing 20 million is already the limit. In addition, about 10 million can shoot a good story, a complete interpretation of the joys and sorrows of the Chinese mahogany family, light and shadow scheduling, close to 100% perfection. If you invest 100 million, you are simply a fool. ”
Ye Tian didn't refute, just asked: "Senior, it's still that question, if you are given 100 million yuan and let you make this film, are you interested?" ”
The big director lowered his head and pondered for a while: "Ye Tian, if someone really invests 100 million, the crew will definitely make a lot of money." I can't think of how 30 million dollars can be spent? To shoot such a film, if you invest 100 million, you will have 70 million or even more. ”
Of course, the accounts can be calculated in this way, Ye Tian understands very well that with such a huge amount of money invested in a crew, the big director will definitely consider it, rather than refusing rudely.
The focus of their discussion just now was the copyright issue, but the other party paid 100 million to get the copyright, which is too deserved.
Ye Tian continued to simplify the question: "Senior, if I propose to the other party and transfer 100 million to you directly, and finally you hand over a movie related to the Redwood Family, the copyright completely belongs to the other party, can you accept it?" ”
The big director smiled bitterly: "This price is acceptable, but investors are not fools, they know the market." ”
The discussion between the two focused on one point, that is, will Mr. Chen take out 100 million yuan to make such a movie?
Ye Tian believed in his own judgment, and investing in a very small project was not worth talking about in person by Mr. Chen.
When Shen Zhengnan failed, Ye Tian thought that after the dust settled on the title of "King of Mahogany", only the legend of Mr. Chen would remain in the industry.
As for Shen Zhengnan, people go to tea and cool, and no one will mention it again. Since she has such a great title and is unique in the whole of Asia, she should be like Mr. Li, the richest man in Asia, to shoot her own legendary story and lay a brilliant life.
Now that we meet in Niujiaoling, between Mr. Chen and the big director, we will definitely be able to generate a spark of passion and make a good movie.
"Senior, you wait, I'll talk about it. But you have to promise me that no matter what the other party asks, we will have to be patient. You are the director, not the producer, the director is only responsible for making a good movie, and all the money transactions should be discussed by the producer. ”
The big director patted Ye Tian on the shoulder: "If I could be as cultured as you, I wouldn't be where I am today, I have already become a judge of the Oscars, or the first chairman of the domestic film industry." It's just that the temper is like this, forming habits, the country is easy to change, and the nature is difficult to change. ”
