It is said that although Zhou Yi's screenwriter is awesome, Gao Fei stayed in Zhou Yi's screenwriting department for an afternoon, but he didn't come across a book that looked right.

No way, who made Goofy too concerned about his directorial debut.

So his requirements for the script are not only to be good, but also to be able to meet his eyes.

Because if he didn't, he wouldn't be able to stimulate his creative passion.

It's just that after listening to his bizarre request, the faces of the gods of Zhou Yi's screenwriting team are almost green.

But no matter how speechless they were, Zhou Yi's screenwriters could only accept it.

After all, who made Goofy not only a villain, but also their boss!

So in desperation, the screenwriting department had to take out the unfinished semi-finished products in everyone's hands, and even some inspirational creative first drafts, for Gao Fei to see.

Not to mention, this trick really worked.

After Goofy read it carefully, he quickly fell in love with a half-finished script.

So when he pulled the screenwriter Tian Yusheng and began to discuss.

Seeing this situation, the rest of the screenwriting department finally couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, but only Tian Yusheng had a bitter face.

……

In fact, it didn't take long for Tian Yusheng to join Zhou Yi Film and Television.

Because I cooperated well with Xu Zheng in the crew of "People in Embarrassment".

So after Xu Zheng joined Zhou Yi, he learned that Zhou Yi attached great importance to screenwriters, so he recommended him.

Zhou Yi's screenwriting department then took over his Templar Screenwriting Studio.

As for the half-finished script in his hand called "Predecessor Raiders", it was brought with the Templar Studios.

And the source of the idea for this book is actually the experience of a staff member in the temple studio.

At the beginning, Tian Yusheng thought that this lovelorn experience was quite interesting, so he came up with the idea of adapting and creating.

Therefore, although this book is called "Predecessor Raiders", it is not only about the ex, but also about the love of young men and women today.

And Goofy was also moved by this kernel.

I have to say that falling out of love and exes is really a universal topic.

In particular, Tian Yusheng's brushstrokes are very delicate, and the details of getting along between many couples are perfectly portrayed, which makes people feel empathy after reading it.

For example, a certain plot in the script must have been encountered by many male compatriots.

That is, your current girlfriend calls you in the middle of the night, and your current girlfriend is around, what should I do?

To answer, or not to answer?

If you don't take it, your current girlfriend will think you're weak-hearted.

Maybe they will pretend to be generous, "What if something happens?" ", thus persuading you to answer the phone.

But if you do......

Hehe~, then prepare to die!

Because at this moment, your current girlfriend must be thinking in her heart:

"I told you to pick it up, and you really took it?"

"Hmph~ You're really worried about her in your heart!"

So the time has come to test the IQ and experience of the male comrades.

[Ask for the best solution!] 】

[o(╥_╥)o Xiaodao also wants to learn from the advanced experience of the predecessors! 】

And when discussing the plot with Tian Yusheng, this guy actually had the courage to ask Gao Fei for advice under the banner of refining the script.

Although the gossip in his eyes had already exposed his thoughts, Goofy didn't care.

So he didn't even think about it, and said with a smile:

"A mature man shouldn't put himself in such a situation!"

"If I were Meng Yun, then I wouldn't consider whether to accept or not at all, but directly threw the right to choose to Xia Lu."

"After all, if you don't pretend to be asleep at this time, are you waiting to be punished?"

As soon as these words came out, Tian Yusheng's eyes suddenly lit up, and he immediately looked at Gao Fei with admiration and said:

"Awesome! Boss, sure enough, you have experience! ”

I didn't want Gao Fei to glare at him angrily when he heard this, and said:

"Can you speak? What does it mean to be experienced? That's wisdom, okay! ”

Tian Yusheng immediately hurriedly changed his words:

"Yes, yes, yes, it's wisdom, I made a mistake, I made a mistake."

However, although he said so, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart after all, and the reputation of his boss was really well-deserved.

In fact, people like Tian Yusheng are not alone.

……

It is said that when they learned that Gao Fei was going to make a movie by himself, Zhou Yi's artists were shocked at first, and then immediately realized that this was a great opportunity.

After all, with more and more non-professional directors and better results, everyone gradually has confidence in those non-professional directors.

And compared with other transformation directors, Gao Fei has advantages that others can't match.

So for a while, there was one artist within Zhou Yi, and almost all of them cut their heads and wanted to participate in this project.

Because in their opinion, even if the film directed by Gao Fei did not become a big hit, the box office will definitely not be bad.

In this way, the risk of failure is naturally much smaller.

Besides, their boss finally directed a movie himself, and if they didn't take this opportunity to perform well, wouldn't they have wasted this God-given opportunity.

It's a pity that the ideal is very plump and the reality is very skinny.

Before Zhou Yi's artists tried their best to win the role, the news that Gao Fei was going to be a director soon spread in the circle.

So for a while, from Gao Fei's confidantes to business partners, almost all of them called Gao Fei.

It really annoyed Goofy.

Even after Zhou Xun and Yu Feihong and others got the news, they came to Zhou Yi to eat melons on the spot, and by the way, they saw what story Gao Fei's directorial debut was going to tell.

It's just that......

After reading the final draft of "Predecessor Raiders" jointly completed by Gao Fei and Tian Yusheng, Zhou Xun's eyes suddenly widened, and his eyes were full of smiles and gave Gao Fei a thumbs up.

"It's you!"

After saying that, Zhou Xun smiled happily and fell on the sofa.

Although Yu Feihong on the side was not so exaggerated, he didn't give Gao Fei a good look.

Seeing this situation, Gao Fei was also confused.

To be honest, he was also helpless.

Obviously, he didn't write this book.,He's just helping to revise it.。

But everyone who watched it thought he was making an autobiographical movie, which really made Goofy speechless.

Of course, what is even more helpless is Liu Yifei, Yang Mi, and Zhao Liying.

Because several people have been knocking on the side for a long time in the past few days, but they haven't heard from Gao Fei's mouth who the ex-girlfriend who makes him so unforgettable!

(⊙o⊙)… Well, Goofy had explained it to them many times.

He doesn't have an ex-girlfriend, all of this is just written by Tian Yusheng.

It's just that no matter what he says, Liu Yifei and the others don't believe it, and they are more and more sure that this woman must still be in Gao Fei's heart.

Otherwise, he would not have made a movie specifically for his "ex".

It can be said that as soon as this "Predecessor Raiders" was established, it brought countless troubles to Gao Fei.

What an autobiographical movie, what is the mystery of an ex-girlfriend, it really makes Goofy one head and two big.

It can be regarded as giving him a preliminary experience of how difficult it is to be a director.

But a headache is a headache, and Goofy is not so intimidated.

Therefore, after finally perfunctorily taking away the group of beauties, Goofy began to officially prepare for his directorial debut.

It's just that God sometimes seems to be deliberately playing with people.

Because Gao Fei finally found a role for himself on the one hand, and Han Li, who vowed to help Gao Fei find a suitable project on the other side, finally had a harvest.

……

After reading the script in his hand, after pondering for a while, Gao Fei suddenly sighed with a complicated expression, and couldn't help but think in his heart, if he had encountered this book earlier, why would he have tossed himself so much during this time.

It's just that Diao Yinan didn't understand what he was thinking, and when he saw this situation, he thought that Gao Fei didn't like this book.

So I couldn't help but look gloomy immediately, and my mood was a little low.

Because Zhou Yi is already the third investor he has found.

And in the circle, Gao Fei's vision for picking scripts has always been quite recognized.

Therefore, if even Gao Fei is not willing to invest this time, then it may be even more difficult for him to start this project.

And just as Diao Yinan was about to say goodbye, Gao Fei, who came back to his senses, saw him like this and knew that he wanted to go wrong.

So he smiled neatly and heartily:

"Director Diao, you misunderstood, I like this book very much, Zhou Yi voted for it."

"Just ......"

Originally, Diao Yinan heard that Gao Fei was willing to invest, and he was immediately pleasantly surprised.

But seeing that he seemed to have some concerns, Diao Yinan, who was afraid that Gao Fei would regret it, hurriedly said:

"Mr. Gao, if you have any requirements, I will not shirk what I can do."

Seeing him say this, Gao Fei nodded slightly.

Immediately, he didn't sell anything, and said straight to the point on the spot:

"Okay, then I'll get straight to the point."

"I personally admire the character of Zhang Zili very much, I don't know if this role has been decided?"

As soon as these words came out, Diao Yinan immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

It turned out that I fell in love with the male number one, so you said it earlier!

In fact, if he was to be replaced by another actor and ask him for a role, Diao Yinan would really have to think about it.

Even if it is recommended by the investor, he may not use it.

It can be said that the common problem of literary directors is not less in him.

But if this person is Goofy, then it's a different story.

Because even if you don't consider Goofy's terrifying net worth, his achievements in the field of actors alone are enough to make a kind of director in the circle look at him.

After all, he wants to be popular and popular, and he wants the box office to have a box office.

Even in the actor awards, none of the domestic actors of the same age are his opponents.

Golden Horse Actor, Shanghai Film Festival Actor, Huabiao Actor, Berlin Actor.

To be honest, when this venerable trophy is put out, I'm afraid no director will not be tempted by such an actor.

Therefore, after listening to Gao Fei's request, Diao Yinan immediately agreed without hesitation.

Even Gao Fei postponed the start-up request, but he agreed very happily.

Diao Yinan had already decided to shoot this story in Ice City, and it was in Ice City in November!

Because only in this way can he shoot the kind of restrained, cold, and ascetic feeling he wants.

And after solving the problem of the schedule, Gao Fei breathed a sigh of relief.

So after the project was handed over to Zhou Yi's production department, a budget of 30 million was approved very happily.

It can be said that this wave really made Diao Yinan experience what is called a surprise.

After all, if he had known that Gao Fei was willing to participate, then why would he have a headache for the investment in the movie.

Because even if Zhou Yi doesn't invest, as long as the news of Gao Fei's participation is released, then "Fireworks in the Day" may immediately become a sought-after potato in the circle.

Of course, Diao Yinan was happy, and Han Li was finally relaxed.

God knows how many tricks she has thought of and how many phone calls she has made in order to search for projects for Gao Fei recently.

Therefore, after seeing that Gao Fei signed the contract, Han Li, who was relieved, turned around and went down to rest.

But before Gao Fei could breathe a sigh of relief, as soon as Han Li left, Jiang Hong came.

……

To be honest, Gao Fei knows that Jiang Hong's execution is high.

But he didn't expect Jiang Hong's execution to be so high!

As soon as he finished talking about the company's future strategic plan, Jiang Hong had implemented one-third of it in less than a week.

This made Goofy have to give her a thumbs up in admiration.

There was no way, he had nothing to say except admiration.

It's just that seeing this situation, Jiang Hong was a little embarrassed.

Because, it's really not her credit for this!

……

It is said that since he heard Gao Fei say at the celebration banquet that he would develop film genres in the future, explore and invest in more science fiction, animation and other projects, Jiang Hong has been interested.

So after I went back that night, I asked my friends in the circle to talk.

Originally, she just wanted to find out and see if there were any similar cases in the circle that could be referred to and studied, so as not to pay tuition later.

But she didn't expect that after she just said that Zhou Yi was interested in science fiction and animation projects, someone took the initiative to come to the door early the next morning.

No, to be precise, in the middle of the night, some people who got the news wanted to call her.

It was only because I was afraid that she would have the gas to get up, so I held it for a few more hours.

Therefore, although it was a little embarrassing, Jiang Hong still told the truth.

After that, Jiang Hong couldn't help but sigh with emotion:

"I really didn't expect the domestic animated film project to be so difficult!"

"But what I didn't expect was that the environment was so difficult, and there were still such a group of people who were willing to gamble with that youth!"

Speaking of which, Rao is Jiang Hong has always been rational, and at this moment, she can't help but admire those animated filmmakers!

In fact, the difficulties faced by animated films are nothing more than three points:

Time-consuming, costly, and difficult to finance!

The first point is easy to understand, compared to the efficiency of live-action films in one year, the production cycle of animated films is obviously super long.

And because the domestic production team is not very mature, it takes more time in China than foreign animated films.

This first point alone is enough to scare off 50% of investors.

As for the second point of costing money, it is actually relative to the domestic film and television industry in the millennium.

Because at that time, movies with a cost of 30 or 50 million were considered blockbusters.

Therefore, animated films with tens of millions of dollars of investment are naturally big money consumers.

It is precisely for this reason that even in the golden age of Hong Kong films, Xiangjiang has not produced several animated films.

By the way, in 1997, Xu Laowei specially invited Miyazaki's team to produce a "Xiaoqian" in four years and at a cost of 40 million Hong Kong dollars.

In the animated version, Xu Laowei reduced the past three "A Chinese Ghost Story" into one, and changed the gloom of the film version of "A Chinese Ghost Story".

Humorous plot, bright pictures, warm and beautiful atmosphere.

It can be said that this is the movie that is most unlike the style of Xu Laowei!

Because this time in "Xiao Qian", Xu Lao Wei finally made this supposed poignant love between humans and ghosts finally have a happy ending, which can be regarded as making up for the regret of countless viewers for the ending of "A Chinese Ghost Story".

But then again, not every animation director is as successful as Xu Laogai.

Therefore, on the basis of the second point, the difficulty of financing has become the biggest problem faced by domestic animation directors.

Because the domestic animation industry is still in its infancy, most of them are operated by individual small and medium-sized enterprises.

In addition, the income sources of animation enterprises are relatively single, mainly in the form of derivative product income and broadcast royalties on the platform.

However, the strength of small and medium-sized enterprises is limited, and even if they encounter potential projects, they often cannot fully tap the potential of animation derivative products.

As for the broadcast copyright fee, it is even more impossible to count on.

Even if it is lucky to be watched by the TV station, after the broadcast, it is only a few hundred yuan per episode, and it can be said that the input and output are completely disproportionate.

So Jiang Hong said that they were betting on their youth, which is really not an exaggeration.

Because almost every animation director is participating in a gamble with no hope.

Some people just can't hold on halfway and give up.

In the end, there are actually only a few people.

But at this moment, their projects are almost all in front of Goofy.

And after listening to Jiang Hong's story, Gao Fei couldn't help frowning slightly.

However, he didn't say anything, but directly clicked on the documents and looked at them one by one.

……

Because animated movies will involve some original drawings and character designs, and even some rough clips in the files, Gao Fei is relatively slow to watch.

But that's the case, and Goofy finished watching it an hour later.

How so?

It's a little surprise in the sigh!

Goofy didn't expect that in such a difficult environment, these animated filmmakers would be able to make such an effect.

However, the bumpiness of these projects is indeed beyond Gao Fei's expectations.

Take "Big Fish and Begonia", which has been the longest project in the document, for example, the director began to prepare as early as 2004.

However, because of the long-term indifference to animated films in the domestic film and television industry, it was not until 2008 that director Liang Xuan received millions of yuan in venture capital from Lianchuang Ceyuan.

It was with this start-up capital that they officially began to work on dailies.

And in June of the same year, with the painstaking efforts of Liang Xuan and others, the sample film of "Big Fish and Begonia" was finally produced.

Fortunately, the hard work paid off.

After the sample film of "Big Fish and Begonia" was released, it quickly won unanimous praise from the industry at home and abroad, and was even included in the Centre Pompidou for contemporary art in France and praised as "one of the most outstanding works of art", but the subsequent plot twists and turns.

Because even if they have proven their ability, investors still have concerns about the project "Big Fish and Begonia".

So Director Liang Xuan, who had no money, could only take the team to work part-time while polishing the script.

And the suspension of the "Big Fish and Begonia" project is another four years.

So, in Goofy's opinion, this group of people is simply a fool.

After all, how many eight years can a person have in this life for them to squander?

What's more, it's the most precious eight years of youth!

And if Zhou Yi doesn't show up this time, I'm afraid they will have to continue to wait endlessly.

Thinking of this, Gao Fei immediately sighed rather abruptly.

Although he doesn't approve of this kind of behavior very much, he admires the persistence of this group of people!

Because persistence is the stupidest and most difficult thing in the world to do.

Fortunately, the persistence of the crew of "Big Fish and Begonia" this time has finally paid off.

After watching the 6-minute sample they edited, with Gao Fei's film aesthetic level, it can be preliminarily judged that this project can be done.

So Gao Fei immediately wrote 30 million in the project book of "Big Fish and Begonia".

Yes, animated films that used to cost a lot of money in the eyes of domestic filmmakers can now be completed with only 30 million.

And this budget is really not much in today's film and television industry, at most it can only be regarded as a small and medium-cost movie.

After all, in recent years, the film investment has been 2~300 million yuan at every turn.

So compared to those commercial blockbusters, animated movies are really nothing.

Even literary films, which have never made money, are now shooting at a higher cost than animated films.

Thinking of this, Gao Fei suddenly felt that those animated filmmakers were really pitiful.

After all, times are changing with each passing day, but it seems that only they have not changed.

It's as if it has been ignored by the times......
