Chapter 111: The Film Project Initiated

Qin Yan began to look for movies shot by Ma Dongcheng on the Internet.

Do you know yourself and your opponent?

Personal relationships aside, he must know why Ma Dongcheng's films are dismal at the box office before deciding whether to cooperate with him.

And the company is not alone, so we have to discuss this matter with the fat man.

Using the method of speeding up at double speed, Qin Yan finished watching Ma Dongcheng's four movies in less than two hours, and then fell into deep thought.

There is no problem with the composition of the picture, and there is no problem with the narrative, but there is a common problem in all four films, that is, some shots are obviously not needed, but they are deliberately elongated. In addition, there seem to be some problems with character casting, some actors' images obviously do not match the roles, and their acting skills are also ruthless, so it stands to reason that there should not be such a big investment in movies.

Qin Yan had a faint guess in his heart.

It seems that even Ma Dongcheng can't get rid of the control of capital.

Obviously, the four movies shot by Ma Dongcheng are obviously suspected of "praising people".

The heroine with a plastic surgery face, a little fresh meat with no acting skills, a forty-year-old aunt who has to play a peerless beauty, and a lot of indescribable ...... Bed scenes.

Thinking of this, Qin Yan has actually recognized Ma Dongcheng's directing ability, and feels that there should not be much problem for him to direct "Train to Busan", not to mention that there is a person who has seen the original version on the side.

So, Qin Yan found Jia Nanren and them, ready to talk about letting Ma Dongcheng serve as the director.

I thought that this matter was a little difficult, after all, Ma Dongcheng had the title of "box office poison", but what Qin Yan didn't expect was that as soon as he said his intentions, the three of them immediately agreed, and they couldn't wait to agree.

Xiao Hong was the first to speak: "Promise him, you must promise him!" Although Ma Dongcheng's reputation in the film industry is not very good, his directing level is absolutely fine, and there are some other objective factors in the previous movies, which does not negate him as a person. Moreover, Ma Dongcheng's directing strength aside, his popularity is well-known in the entertainment industry. With him as the director, the problem of actors will be solved. ”

Yu Fei also said: "Director Ma is still good, and he has been the director of the Spring Festival Gala three times, maybe he will do it for the fourth time, and the stars in the entertainment industry give him face." ”

Jia Nanren said indifferently: "Actually, I prefer Brother Yan to shoot it yourself, but since you don't want to, then Ma Dongcheng is not bad, as long as he doesn't open his mouth or simply wants a share of the box office, I basically have no opinion." ”

After listening to the words of the three of them, Qin Yan nodded.

Since everyone is on the same page, things will be easy to do.

Qin Yan wanted to call Ma Dongcheng for a movie first, but he didn't expect the other party's phone call to come first.

Ma Dongcheng's tone was a little excited, and the sound of heavy breathing could be faintly heard.

"Xiao Qin, your script is so good, this kind of zombie setting is simply unheard of, and the creativity is very good. Although some of the plots have game-like level-like plots that are a little rough, they completely make up for this lack by relying on the tense atmosphere of the rhythm. Please make me the director of this movie, I don't need any pay! Ma Dongcheng said excitedly.

He needed a chance to prove himself so badly.

Although he has become the first in the industry in the circle of variety show and gala directors, his dream is still a movie.

It's just that he has the title of "box office poison", and no one in the industry has asked him to make a movie for nearly 10 years.

A few years ago, he sold a house and made a small cost, but unfortunately in the end, he lost all his money, and none of the waves were flooded.

Now that he knows that Qin Yan's small company is going to make a movie, coupled with the recognition of Qin Yan's screenwriting talent, he feels that this is a good opportunity.

Others are afraid of the Holy Heaven, but he Ma Dongcheng doesn't care.

Originally, he just had the attitude of giving it a try, but after reading the script, he made up his mind.

Based on his feelings, this "Train to Busan" has the potential to be a big hit.

This may be his turnaround!

Qin Yan was a little surprised, he didn't expect Ma Dongcheng to ask for free directing, which surprised him.

But that's exactly what he wanted, and it's always good to save some money, after all, the budget is already insufficient.

"Welcome to join Ma Dao." Qin Yan said briskly.

"Haha, then I wish us a happy cooperation."

Seeing that Qin Yan agreed, Ma Dongcheng finally let go of his hanging heart.

However, he thought about it for a while, and still said seriously: "But Xiao Qin, I have a small request here, I hope you can agree to me." ”

"Ma Dao, please speak."

"I hope that when it comes to casting, the actors have to get my consent. I didn't mean anything else, I just didn't want to ruin the movie because of the actors. And I only ask for a few main characters, and you can stuff people in as many other minor characters as you like. Ma Dongcheng said with some apprehension.

Qin Yan laughed when he heard Ma Dongcheng's words.

It seems that this horse guide was bitten by a snake once and was afraid of the well rope for ten years.

"Hehe, Director Ma is too worried. I'm worried about the actor's affairs here, if you have anything to do with it, you might as well help find it. Of course, the salary must not be too high, my budget is only 50 million, and I can't afford too expensive actors. Qin Yan said.

Ma Dongcheng completely put his mind at ease, patted his chest and said: "No problem, I don't dare to say anything else, but most of the actors in the circle will sell me a few thin noodles." ”

"That's great, the actor's affairs will trouble Director Ma to pay more attention."

"Little meaning, I'll go to your side tomorrow, and we'll meet and talk about specific things."

"No problem."

hung up the phone with Ma Dongcheng, Qin Yan told the news to the others, and everyone was in a good mood.

……

Next, the movie "Train to Busan" was officially established, and Xiao Hong was responsible for the specific work.

This time, Xiao Hong took on the role of producer.

It's about the life and death of Magic Shadow Media, and she doesn't feel at ease to let others be producers.

As for Yu Fei, she was ordered to run the notice to make money.

Now her popularity is very strong, if it weren't for the lack of support from some representative works, she would definitely step into the ranks of first-line stars in minutes.

And once the star has traffic, all kinds of announcements will naturally come to the door.

After a choice, Yu Fei chose a popular variety show on Yanjing Satellite TV, called "Challenging the Impossible".

Don't get me wrong, this has nothing to do with the large-scale inspirational challenge show in Qin Yan's previous life, it's purely a collision, no, it's a collision.

The gameplay of this show is that the program team comes up with some almost impossible tasks for the guests to challenge, and then the cameraman with the group follows the shooting and then edits and plays.

Because the gameplay of the show is novel and there are no messy scripts, the guests are very open, and the first few episodes are very popular.

The reason why Yu Fei chose this variety show is first because the filming location is in Yanjing, so she doesn't need to be separated from Qin Yan.

Is it a girl in love, everyone understands.

As for the second reason, it is because Yanjing Satellite TV gives enough money.

Two episodes, a week's time, 5 million!

After Yu Fei made a choice, she immediately asked her agent to give Yanjing Satellite TV a reply.

By the way, Yu Fei's agent is no longer Xiao Hong.

After Xiao Hong took over the management of the company, she didn't have much time to manage Yu Fei's side, so after discussing with Yu Fei, she asked Yu Fei's assistant Gao Lan to temporarily serve as an agent.

Soon, Gao Lan and Yanjing Satellite TV were in contact, but the other party suddenly made a very strange request, Gao Lan couldn't make up his mind, and he needed to ask Yu Fei for instructions.
