Chapter 363: Sincerity is nirvana
The first thought that popped into Su Wanyun's mind was-
What kind of magic does that Shen Nan and Shen Dao have? It's just a meeting, and it makes Dai Dai change her mind!
Su Wanyun thought of the current situation of "Heavenly Demon", and did not agree with Ming Dai's choice, but he was also unwilling to oppose it too strongly.
He sorted out his thoughts and said softly:
"Why did you suddenly have this idea? Although I suggest you go to meet this director Shen Nan, I just think that she is talented, and maybe you can cooperate in the future. But the project "Heavenly Demon" is different, it is involved in a lot of turmoil, and at present, Jiahe Pictures is not optimistic about it, and the budget has been cut by more than two-thirds, otherwise the director's position will not easily return to the hands of director Shen Nan. ”
The words are not good, but they are very true.
Jiahe will not slap himself in the face if he can see a bright future in this project, and return the project he won with great difficulty to Shen Nan.
Su Wanyun even guessed that if it weren't for the fact that a lot of money had been invested in the previous preparation of "Heavenly Demon", and all the money would have been wasted if it didn't start, I'm afraid Jiahe Pictures would have cut this project directly.
Originally, "Heavenly Demon" was directed by Tan Wenwen, with an investment budget of almost 600 million, according to the principle of triple box office return, the final box office of the film will reach at least 1.8 billion, and Jiahe can return to its original cost, and there are very few directors and actors in the circle who can carry this box office.
Now that the project is handed over to Shen Nan, the investment amount is only less than 200 million, and tens of millions have been spent on the preliminary preparations, Shen Nan must use the remaining 100 million to make this movie!
Don't think that one or two hundred million is a lot, in this era when hundreds of millions of dollars are required to make a campus pure love movie, "Heavenly Demon" is a special effects blockbuster that burns money by seconds!
If there is not enough investment, the movie is destined to only make five-cent special effects, which will be ridiculed by the audience!
In the meantime, only Mingdai's reputation is damaged.
So after thinking about it, Su Wanyun didn't think that it was a good choice for Ming Dai to play "Heavenly Demon", but was worried that she would get into trouble.
Who knew that Ming Dai was not frightened by Su Wanyun's words at all.
She tilted her head and smiled: "The investment in "Twin Lotus" is only 70 million, which can be regarded as a step up. ”
"No kidding." Su Wanyun was helpless, "Who can compare to Yan Jiaxue's level of picking money?" ”
Ming Dai slowly smiled with a solemn expression: "Sister Su, I'm not joking, but serious." Perhaps, you should take a look at the script that Director Shen Nan gave me today. ”
Ming Dai took out the thick pile of materials from her bag, from the script to the character biography to the draft of the storyboard...... It's all available.
Su Wanyun's surprised gaze stopped, and he couldn't help but speak: "...... Storyboard scripts are all given to you? ”
Mingdai laughed: "Yes." ”
"Director Shen is really ...... Honesty. ”
Mingdai smiled even more heartily.
She thought, what Sister Su wanted to say was probably "stupid".
But what's wrong with being stupid? There are too many shrewd people in the circle, and occasionally they are stupid and sincere, but they are even more impressive.
Shen Nan is a rare creator who has not been affected by the impetuous atmosphere in the circle.
Her approach is very traditional, she doesn't engage in those bells and whistles gimmicks, she just collects information steadily, builds a complete different world step by step, and achieves the ultimate in seriousness every step.
When Ming Dai also came to the company, she flipped through two pages of information, only to know that there were still images of heavenly demons, spirit monsters and other images hand-painted by Shen Nan in it.
Shen Nan probably took painting as an elective, and those bizarre worlds were presented on paper, directly showing the director's unbridled imagination.
Ming Dai read it, and found that the manuscript picture coincided with the "Heavenly Demon" she had seen in her previous life.
It can be seen that the interview script in his previous life was still conservative, and Tan Wenwen plagiarized and appropriated more than two-thirds, and he directly put all of Shen Nan's creativity into the finished product he "directed".
One is the idea constructed in one's own head, the brilliant flower that blooms from the soil of rich imagination; The other is stealing the fruits of other people's labor, with self-righteous additional conjectures, which are distorted from the root......
It's easy to see at a glance.
Sincerity is always the greatest nirvana.
Just like Ming Dai saw this information in the car that came to Weilan, and understood Shen Nan's talent and sincerity, the last hesitation in her heart disappeared without a trace, Ming Dai thought that Su Wanyun should have the same feelings as her.
Really.
Su Wanyun looked at it for a full twenty minutes.
Finally, I closed the page, and my movements were extremely light, for fear of breaking it.
Then sighed: "This director Shen Nan is not a thing in the pool, she is a real genius!" ”
Ming Dai smiled with emotion: "I think so too." If I miss out on such a great work, I will probably look back many years later and regret not being a part of it. ”
It has nothing to do with the box office, nothing to do with honor.
It's just the most primitive original intention of being an actor.
Su Wanyun really understood Ming Dai, and then he didn't say anything against Ming Dai starring in "Heavenly Demon", but just asked:
"What about the Xianxia drama? Really not acting? ”
"Let's look at their attitude."
Ming Dai's suggestion reminded Su Wanyun that maybe he should call the producer of Xianxia drama directly to ask, after all, the producer had shown a strong love for Ming Dai before, and the S+ project with an investment of hundreds of millions also took the initiative to find him.
It just so happened that Su Wanyun had contacted the producer many times, and there was the other party's number in the mobile phone, so he turned it out directly, called it, and turned on the speaker in front of Ming Dai.
Ming Dai and Huang Yuanyuan both took the initiative to quiet down.
The phone was quickly connected, and there was only the voice of Su Wanyun talking to that person in the office.
In fact, from the beginning of the dialogue, Su Wanyun was keenly aware of the change in the other party's attitude.
was enthusiastic before, and I couldn't wait to pack Ming Dai into the crew on the same day, and was willing to promise the best conditions for Ming Dai.
Now, he talked about him in a hesitant manner, and he didn't mention the signing of the group in half a sentence, only saying that some procedures on his side had not been completed, and he had to wait.
What procedure can there be, it is nothing more than reaching an agreement with Weilan, wanting to jointly put pressure on Ming Dai and strive for the greatest interests for himself.
Is it excessive? Count, it doesn't count.
In the world of adults, there is always a different position, and it is not possible to talk about who is right and who is wrong.
Therefore, Ming Dai naturally also has Ming Dai's position.
The phone hung up, and the office fell silent.
Ming Dai broke the quiet: "I originally thought that I could finish filming "Heavenly Demon" first, and then shoot this drama, and the schedule was completely timely. ”
The Xianxia drama has just completed the script, and it will take time to prepare in the early stage, but it is "Heavenly Demon", everything is ready, and Ming Dai can start filming directly when she enters the group.
Su Wanyun raised his eyebrows and answered: "Now it seems that there is no need for this." ”
Ming Dai's next work is a decision.
