Chapter 125: Changed to a co-production?

"Yo! You know how to come here! โ€

When Lin Yuan arrived at the Spring and Autumn Tang Garden in Hengdian, Sissi was supporting a small table on the set, holding a pile of documents and not knowing what she was busy with.

Sissi's costume scenes are very few, and all the filming was completed on the third day after the start of filming, and the rest of the time was spent watching other people shoot.

Lin Yuan felt Sissi's [resentment] eyes, smiled and found a chair to sit next to Sissi, hugged Sissi's arm and said:

"Baby, I miss you! Kiss my brother..."

"Really?"

Sissi blocked Lin Yuan's big lips with her hand.

"You want to kill me, why don't you send Da Mi Mi back to Yanjing first?"

โ€œ...โ€

It's over, the tacit understanding is broken...

Hengdian in April was still a little cold, but Lin Yuan's forehead was already dripping with some beads of sweat.

"Baby, did you misunderstand... I... I went to Wu Jing to sign a contract..."

"Humph!"

Sissi glanced at Lin Yuan, not like taking care of this big villain for the time being.

...

In the previous life, "Love Through the Millennium" was a TV series remade based on the kimchi drama "Queen Inhyun's Man".

The original drama of "Inhyun" tells the story of the Sujong period of Joseon, when the Nanren Party won the party struggle, resulting in the expulsion of the princess Min from the palace.

The whole family of the male protagonist, the school manager of Hongwenkan, was killed. After that, the male protagonist endured the humiliation and burden, wholeheartedly helped the queen to restore the throne, and secretly monitored the rebellion of the leader of the southerners and the right minister of the kingdom.

The right minister sent a killer to chase and kill the male protagonist, but the male protagonist traveled to modern times with a [spell] and met the young actor who played Queen Inhyun.

The two have feelings for each other and love each other in several times of time and space, and finally live a warm and sweet life in modern time and space.

In the domestic remake, the background was changed to when Wang Mang usurped the throne at the end of the Western Han Dynasty, and Queen Renxian was replaced by Queen Xu. Although the reputation is mediocre because the actors' acting skills are too bad, at least Lin Yuan saved a lot of effort when writing the script.

started this drama, in fact, to satisfy Sissi's desire to make a sadomasochistic drama with herself.

Lin Yuan didn't know why Qian Qian had to [sadomasochism], in his mind, isn't sweet pet a girl's favorite?

But since Sissi wanted to be sadomasochistic, Lin Yuan naturally wouldn't say anything.

is like the title of the play "Love Through the Millennium", what kind of sadomasochism can be deep in the love between the male and female protagonists that has traveled for more than 2,000 years?

The aliens in "Star You" are only 400 years old.

Simple addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, 2000รท400, Sissi won five times the power of the big power.

...

At the beginning of June, Lin Yuan will join the group of "Wolf Warrior 2", and after filming "Wolf Warrior 2", he will start the filming of "Pacific Rim" immediately.

In other words, Lin Yuan left less than 45 days for the filming of "Love Through the Millennium".

Fortunately, there are only 24 episodes of "Love Through the Millennium", so if you shoot it closely, it is still enough.

It's just that in terms of the shooting plan, all Lin Yuan's scenes will be filmed together.

In this regard, Sissi expressed her strong dissatisfaction with Lin Yuan!

Why do you want to make a sadomasochistic drama with Lin Yuan? Do you really want to earn the audience's tears?!

Don't you want to talk openly with Lin Yuan in the crew about [publicly-funded love]!

The two scenes filmed with Da Mi Mi are all in love, and the ones filmed with myself are "No Man's Land" and "Langya Bang", good guys, don't talk about kiss scenes, even hugging once!

It's pathetic!

The result? The script was written, but Lin Yuan wanted to schedule his schedule so full, so that he had to rush to shoot anything, and there was no atmosphere at all...

Regarding Qianqian's dissatisfaction, Lin Yuan could only muster up 200% of his spirit, and strive to finish filming his ancient scenes as soon as possible.

In this way, he can leave enough filming time for the modern rivalry between himself and Sissi, so as not to seem too rushed.

In this drama, Yuanfang still cooperated with Huace as usual, and the photography, art, recording, lighting, etc. were also the original team when filming "Star You" and "Langya Bang" at that time, so the filming was still very fast.

...

In the dressing room, Lin Yuan took off his costume and said into his mobile phone:

"Sister Pan Ya, I really don't want to make "Pacific Rim" a co-production, if after Universal invests money, it requires the protagonist to be from the United States and the actors to speak English uniformly, do I agree?"

After receiving Lin Yuan's decisive refusal, Pan Ya helplessly covered her forehead and said:

"But you also have to take care of Wang Xuebo, right? It hasn't been turned on yet, the budget table sent by the source plan has been changed seven times, and the production cost has now reached 600 million, and the distance can't afford such a high production cost! โ€

Thinking of this, Lin Yuan couldn't help but have a big head.

Wang Xuebo also vowed to himself that the production cost of "Pacific Rim" could be controlled at about 400 million as much as possible.

As a result, the studio of Jiaodong International Cinema was halfway arranged, and less than one-tenth of the more than 300 full-special effects shots of the whole film were made, and the budget had already spent 80 million.

If it is a production cost of 600 million, the box office will need at least 2 billion to recover the cost.

If Pacific Rim can't be sold to North America, Europe, and Neon Southeast Asia, there are basically no companies willing to invest.

Li Xiaoping of the light is very supportive of Lin Yuan, but unfortunately the board of directors of the light has internally rejected the resolution to invest in "Pacific Rim", and Li Xiaoping can't help it.

Now there are only two companies in China that are willing to invest in "Pacific Rim", namely China Film and Penguin Pictures.

China Film can provide the company's best shooting team, and can also help contact Warner Bros., Universal, Paramount, Sony and other film and television companies to do global distribution of "Pacific Rim".

It's just that the requirement is that the production and production teams of "Pacific Rim" must be China Film's own people.

China Film's request is equivalent to letting Lin Yuan hand over control of the crew of "Pacific Rim", once Lin Yuan's opinion is different from China Film's opinion, then the final plan to be implemented will be China Film's plan nine out of nine.

In this regard, Lin Yuanshi would never agree.

Penguin Pictures' requirements are much more lenient than those of China Film, only requiring the production director of the crew to be Penguin Pictures' own person, which is also to monitor the use of funds.

In addition, Penguin can also help negotiate overseas distribution with Warner Bros. from afar.

It's just that the penguins only plan to invest 200 million, and even if Lin Yuan accepts the penguin's investment, Yuanfang can only invest 300 million in the "Pacific Rim" project, which means that there is still an investment gap of about 100 million.

At present, "The Great Wall", co-produced by Universal Pictures and China, is also being filmed in Jiaodong International Cinema, so Pan Ya wants to see if she can bring in some foreign funds.

If Universal Pictures injects money into "Pacific Rim", it should not be too bad at the overseas box office when it is released overseas.

But Hollywood capital is not charitable, once "Pacific Rim" accepts the investment of Hollywood film and television companies, then "The Great Wall" for foreigners to save the Chinese people is a lesson for Lin Yuan.

Therefore, the best solution at present is to reduce the production cost as much as possible.

Thinking of this, Lin Yuan couldn't help but smile bitterly.

I used to think that even Guo Xiaosi's "Jue Ji", which pulled his trouser pocket at a glance, could pull an investment of three or four hundred million yuan, and it must be easy to pull the investment by himself.

As a result, after the budget was changed from 400 million to 600 million, those companies that were still very enthusiastic lost their voices, and those who lost their amnesia and became dumb became dumb!
