Chapter 110: The Director Sent to the Door
"I can't." Qin Yan said.
"Ahh Jia Nanren was shocked, obviously not reacting.
Yu Fei frowned and said, "My dear, a man can't say that he can't do it!" ”
As for Xiao Hong, she laughed.
That's an interesting answer.
Qin Yan regretted his words, and said depressedly: "Can you think healthily, I mean that I am not suitable to be this director." ”
Holding back a smile, Jia Nanren said: "I think you are quite suitable, you shot "Old Boy" very well." But Brother Yan, in fact, this 'no' is not a serious disease, and the current medical level is very developed...... Yes! Don't hit me! ”
Qin Yan slapped the fat man on the shoulder with a black face and glared at him fiercely.
"Look at what you can. I know my directorial level well, and there is no problem in controlling the general small scenes, but there are too many group scenes in "Train to Busan", and I am not sure to control the scene where hundreds of people chase at every turn, and with such a huge crew at that time, I can't guarantee that I will not make any mistakes at all. Therefore, we must find an excellent director in the industry to guide this play. Qin Yan said seriously.
He is never arrogant, but he is also not arrogant.
If he was given some time to learn, he would have been able to grow into a qualified director, but he obviously didn't have that time now.
After listening to Qin Yan's words, the three of them were thoughtful.
Xiao Hong said: "What Qin Yan said is not unreasonable, we must not fail in this drama, so it is safest to find an excellent director." However, now the entire entertainment industry knows that we are not dealing with Shengtian Entertainment, and those directors who have been famous for a long time may not dare to take over this drama. Even, even many actors dare not take on the roles in this play. ”
Qin Yan was silent, then rubbed his brows.
Still young.
I was still thoughtful before, and I only cared about my own happiness, but I forgot to take into account the terrifying influence of Shengtian Entertainment.
"One step at a time, there's still a lot of time." Qin Yan said.
Jia Nanren said nonchalantly: "Shengtian is a fart, if you provoke me, I will go directly to kill Jiang Yan's shit!" ”
Yu Fei also said: "The fat man is right, Shengtian is not a one-handed person in the entertainment industry, and they have many opponents. And I have a lot of friends in the circle, so I'll find friends to help when the time comes! ”
Xiao Hong also smiled: "What they said is right, Qin Yan, you don't have to worry too much." Shengtian's family is no longer the original Jiang Bangji, and Jiang Yan, a hairy boy, can't suppress today's entertainment industry. ”
Seeing that everyone was supporting him, Qin Yan's brows also relaxed.
He is not the kind of forward-looking character who does things, and his previous hesitation was also because he was afraid that he would affect the interests of the company.
Now that everyone is supporting themselves, let's do a good job with Shengtian!
In the next two days, Qin Yan carefully revised the script of "Train to Busan".
He is confident in this script, but now that there is a 100 million gambling contract pressed on it, he is naturally more concerned.
As for the budget, when the four of them discussed it the day before yesterday, they all agreed to put all the company's money into it.
There are still 15 million outcrops on the company's account, and the box office share of the movie "Old Boy" is about to arrive at about 40 million, so if you calculate it, in addition to leaving 5 million of normal operating funds, there is almost 50 million left.
Qin Yan remembered that the investment in "Train to Busan" in his previous life should have been 60 million.
Alas, there is still a lack of money.
But with careful calculation, 50 million should be enough.
To solve the problem of funding, the following is the selection of directors and actors.
Qin Yan recalled the suitable candidates in the circle, and then wrote them down, preparing to send an audition invitation to the other party in two days.
At this moment, the phone rang, and it was Ma Donglai calling.
"Hey, Ma Dao is good." Qin Yan said.
On the phone, Ma Dongcheng said with a smile: "Xiao Qin, I haven't seen you for a long time since I said goodbye to us last time." By the way, I saw on the Internet that you made a bet with Shengtian for 100 million, you kid is domineering enough. ”
"Director Ma, don't laugh at me. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that I am also chasing ducks to the shelves, holding on to the shelf for the sake of face. Qin Yan smiled bitterly.
Ma Dongcheng didn't believe Qin Yan's words, and said: "Don't be modest, with my understanding of you, if you are not sure about your script, you will not take the initiative to bet at all." ”
"Hehe, it's a little bit sure, but it's not 100% yet. Director Ma is also a person in the circle, and you also know that no matter how good the script is, there is no guarantee that it will be profitable, after all, the box office of the movie is too mysterious. Qin Yan said with a smile.
"That's right."
Ma Dongcheng naturally understands what Qin Yan said, there have been too many well-received movies on the street in recent years, but there are also some movies that should have hit the street, and no one dares to judge what the final box office results of a movie will be.
Even Ma Dongcheng himself planted a lot of problems in this back then.
After chatting a little closer to each other, Ma Dongcheng decided to get down to business.
He took the initiative to call Qin Yan, naturally not a simple chat, but had his own purpose.
After considering the language, Ma Dongcheng spoke: "Xiao Qin, I want to ask a question, do you plan to be the director of the script of "Train to Busan", or do you want to find someone else?" ”
Qin Yanyan's mind was full of thoughts when he heard this, and he had a vague uncertain thought.
Could this Ma Dao be thinking......
"Director Ma laughed, you don't know the level of my half-baked director, it's okay to make a small cost, but it's a little powerless to control this kind of big-scene movie." Qin Yan said.
"Hehe, your level is not bad, the younger generation I am most optimistic about you. Maybe you're still on the fire, but in another year or two it won't be a problem. By the way, if you don't mind, how about we get in touch with me and let me direct this movie? Ma Dongcheng praised Qin Yan, and finally said his true purpose.
Really.
Qin Yan's guess came true, and Ma Dongguo did this plan.
In the director world, Ma Dongcheng's fame is very loud, after all, he was the chief director of the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games and the CCTV Spring Festival Gala three times. But if it is placed in the circle of movies, Ma Dongcheng's fame is not very good.
Although this director Ma played all kinds of galas, the movies he directed in the past hit the street one by one, and he lost not 2 billion to 1.8 billion in investors' money, and was finally nicknamed "box office poison" by netizens, and completely faded out of the film circle.
Any movie directed by Ma Dongcheng will be lost!
No exceptions!
Now he suddenly came over, obviously planning to test the film industry again.
And "Train to Busan" is a movie that Magic Media gambled on, so Qin Yan wanted to reject Ma Dongcheng as soon as possible.
It's just that he doesn't know the truth of the rumors, and refusing directly is equivalent to offending Ma Dongcheng.
So after thinking about it, Qin Yan used the word "drag".
"Thank you Director Ma for your trust, but this matter is very important, I think it's not too late for you to look at the quality of the script first, and then decide." Qin Yan said.
In this way, they can not only give each other a buffer, let Ma Dongcheng know the bottom of his heart, but also give himself time to study the strength of Ma Dongcheng's film as follows.
An old fox like Ma Dongcheng naturally understood the meaning of Qin Yan's words.
He smiled: "That's not bad, I've long wanted to see how good the script is that can make the kid so sure." By the way, a friend of mine runs a green screen special effects studio, and I also have a stake in it. This kind of green screen cutout shooting method is very suitable for shooting large scenes, I have used it a few times at the party, not to mention that I can't see any traces of synthesis, and it can also save a lot of costs. I think that in the future, this kind of shooting method may become the mainstream of film shooting in the future, if you have time, I will take you to study and learn. ”
"That's okay, then I'll trouble Ma Dao."
"Where, be polite to me. Just send me the script to my email. ”
"Okay, goodbye, Ma Dao."
"Goodbye."
Hanging up the phone, Qin Yan was dumbfounded.
Unexpectedly, Ma Dongcheng finally played scheming.
He deliberately brought up the matter of the green screen special effects studio, I am afraid that it is fake to bring himself over to study, and it is true to show off his muscles and show his strength.
Old fox.
However, Qin Yan thought that the filming of "Train to Busan" really needed this kind of technology, after all, the reason why this movie was able to control the cost so low in the previous life was due to the role of green screen shooting.
Smiling, Qin Yan continued his work.
