Chapter 66, "Alive"
At ten o'clock the next day, the crew members of Twist Lemon Entertainment gathered in Panyang Building.
It's also a bit sad to say, the company doesn't even have a stable office location, and even meetings can only be held in the top local hotels, top suites.
But the crew members spelled out "When Happiness Knocks on the Door" in such a difficult environment, and this spirit is really commendable...
But for everyone, such a hard and sad day will soon come to an end.
Soon, everyone will have a fixed office building to work in, as well as a fixed conference room...
This makes everyone feel like they have a sense of belonging to rootless duckweed.
It's a great feeling.
"Anyway... Why hasn't Director Li come yet? ”
Now that the dishes on the table have been eaten once, Li Yun still hasn't come.
This meeting is mainly to announce the plan for the next movie, not only Liu Mei, but also others are gearing up, enthusiastic, and planning to do a big job.
At this time, Liu Mei looked at her single father Liu Yang, who lived with Li Yun.
"I didn't go back last night, and I don't know." Liu Yang shook his head, yesterday he went to have supper with someone, and he drank outside without getting drunk and not returning.
Ever since he became famous, his 'actor' friends who used to disdain him have shown him courtesy.
It can only be said that feng shui takes turns, and this time it is his turn.
"Yesterday he said he was going to catch up on the script in the evening." Li Zijing paused and said, "Maybe it was too late to revise the script last night, so I didn't get up today." ”
"Alas, Director Li really works hard enough..."
Liu Mei said with emotion.
Even geniuses like Director Li have worked so hard, so why should people like themselves not work hard?
"No one's success is casual, didn't Director Li say that one percent of inspiration and ninety-nine percent of sweat can make a person."
"Director Li is worthy of being a cultural person, and I always feel that every sentence he says is an aphorism, the kind that can be used as a motto for life..."
"Otherwise, how can you be a genius, a genius can always easily do things that we can't do.."
While everyone was talking about it, the door was pushed open.
"I'm sorry guys, I slept late last night..."
At this moment, Li Yun's image is very bad, with two big dark circles on his face, messy hair, disheveled clothes, and socks of two colors, which looks quite funny.
"Director Li, you don't have to work so hard." Liu Mei looked at Li Yun's appearance and expressed some distress: "You also have to work hard, you have to rest, and the combination of work and rest is correct." ”
"Uh..."
Li Yun was really embarrassed to say that it took half an hour to write (copy) the script last night, and the rest of the time was spent reading comics...
I have to say that the national comics of this world are still somewhat interesting, at least better than the development of the earth in the previous life.
I was so fascinated by the comics that I suddenly looked back and found that it was already three o'clock in the night.
However, when you think about it, staying up late is bad for your health...
Then stay up all night.
As a result, it was late today.
Li Yun was embarrassed to say, and said with a light cough.
"Ahem, don't talk about this, I changed the script..."
Li Yun put down his script.
Everyone is a little curious, looking at the stack of scripts, what is the movie made this time?
Liu Yang was the first to ask.
"Plum, what type of movie are you shooting this time?"
"It's a literary film."
"Literary films..."
There is no surprise to everyone, after all, literary films are Li Yun's basic plate.
In other words, if Li Yun announced that he would make horror films, fantasy films, fairy tale films, and youth films, they would be afraid.
After all, these domestic films almost don't have the word 'circle money' written on their faces.
Life is not only about reluctance, but also poetry and distance.
After entering the crew, everyone solved the problem of reluctance.
Then we have to start thinking about poetry and distance, if Li Yun really decides to make bad movies to make money, I'm afraid some people will leave disappointed...
Thankfully, it didn't happen.
Li Zijing asked.
"What about the investment budget?"
"Five million."
An investment of five million...
For literary films, it is also decent.
But what does it mean that your investment is lower than the previous film?
This makes everyone a little confused, people are investing higher and higher, and you are getting lower and lower.
Don't play according to the routine, you!
"This, I think the investment should be able to re... A little higher. ”
Li Zijing said euphemistically.
In fact, there are still many problems with the movie "When Happiness Knocks on the Door".
For example, costumes, props, and framing, these are places that cannot be done perfectly because of the cost.
If more money is invested, then the quality of the film will be even better.
It's not impossible to even win the Oscars, and it's these small flaws that affect his ceiling, so that this time the Sino-American co-production everyone thinks that the remake may be better.
After all, the investment in the remake is 10 million US dollars, which is more than ten times that of the Chinese version.
Li Yun turned a deaf ear to his opinions and cut the railroad to the point.
"Five million is enough."
"What about publicity? Even if five million is enough for the shooting cost, there must be a budget for publicity. Li Zijing groaned: "This time, the rise of "When Happiness Knocks on the Door" actually has some luck in it... We had a lot of luck in terms of publicity, and we couldn't even replicate the second time. ”
Li Yun pondered whether this movie could be released, maybe it would be a loss if there was too much publicity?
In this movie, Li Yun is confident and pounces - and it is the kind that pounces very well, and cannot turn over.
"We're still in the initial stage, don't be too ambitious, always thinking about showing off your skills and making big-budget movies, who stipulates that the quality of a movie is determined by cost? "When Happiness Knocks on the Door" is not good to shoot at a low cost..."Li Yun said in an orderly manner: "The fragrance of wine is not afraid of deep alleys, and good movies will not be buried..."
It seems that this is the truth...
Li Zijing felt that although she was not convinced, she still felt that she should listen to it.
After all, Li Yun, as a screenwriter and director, has unlimited right to speak.
This made Li Zijing a little nostalgic for when she was ignorant when she was a child, and if Li Yun made her unhappy, the big fist of the casserole would pass.
I really don't want to grow up...
Everyone else has the same opinion, and for Li Yun, they instinctively believe and worship.
What he says is what he says, five million literary films are literary films.
If it is announced, she just takes a little from her small purse...
This time, in "When Happiness Knocks on the Door", she also shared a lot of profits, and even shared a large amount of profits, and the thickness of her wallet is quite full.
"Sister Jing, if you have time, help me register the movie name."
"What's the name?"
"Alive."
