Chapter 376: You can't get together for nothing
Diao Yinan is very interesting, don't look at his usual sticky personality, he always speaks very unpleasantly, but when it comes to making movies, it is definitely vigorous.
In his words, although the script has just been written, the story has been in his mind for a long time, and it has been transformed into pictures, and he wants to shoot it as soon as possible.
When Li Tang talked to him about investment before, he was embarrassed to propose that 200,000 yuan was enough. Li Tang was dumbfounded, you must know that when Cheng Er made the short film "Criminals", he had a total of 100,000 yuan, and he almost couldn't lick his tongue on the premise of working all daytime.
What can 200,000 do?
Diao Yinan also analyzed with him seriously, first of all, the actor doesn't want money, and his friend who is a teacher at the Xi'an Academy of Fine Arts is purely helpful; As for the actress in the Chinese opera advanced class who can play the heroine of a play, it is an opportunity in itself, and she also promised not to be paid. There are also those behind-the-scenes creators, everyone is buddies, I Diao Yinan made the first work as a director, can't you help?
The most important thing is that he didn't plan to use film this time, so he used a digital camera to shoot it, which can save the maximum cost.
In this way, the biggest cost is the rental of equipment and the eating, drinking and lazing of the crew during the filming.
Obviously, Diao Yinan is lacking in self-confidence, or he simply thinks about what he wants to shoot out, and he doesn't think about the rest so much.
In addition, even videotapes can be exhibited at overseas film festivals. At that time, Chief Jia's "Xiao Wu" won the Forum Award at the Berlin Film Festival in the form of a videotape.
But when it comes to the distribution of videotapes, it is not possible, and it must be magnetically transferred. At present, the domestic magnetic transfer technology is enough, if it is taken to Europe to do magnetic transfer, a 90-minute movie, without six or seven hundred thousand, can not be won at all.
Of course, the asking price is not high for investors, which is a good thing, after all, reducing the risk. If the movie is not made well, it will lose 200,000 at most, and if it is filmed well and can be released in the market, then it is not too late to add some money to do magnetic transfer in the later stage. Even though it may be expensive to do magnetic transfer in Europe, as long as it can be issued, it is basically not a big problem to recover the cost.
However, from Li Tang's point of view, he has his own principles, that is, not to be prostituted in vain. In the same way, he never deliberately takes advantage of others. It's okay if the movie doesn't make money, but what about making money? People have obviously contributed, how much are you suitable for others? In the end, it's often just a bunch of bullshit.
So Li Tang gave him an extra 100,000 yuan, whether it was the actor's salary or the buddy's salary, he had to pay what he should pay, there was no need to squeeze others and let people work for nothing.
In fact, he prefers to let Diao Yinan make movies on film, as a person with slight obsessive-compulsive disorder, he always feels a little awkward about magnetic transfer and glue, and it doesn't feel like a real movie. Even if digital technology becomes more common in the future, it is still a feeling of seeing a film movie once in a while. The texture of film may never be achieved by digital technology, as if it were alive.
It's just that Diao Yinan is not a director from a professional class after all, even if he has been in the crew all these years, whether he can perfectly show the story in his heart with the lens, then the technical aspects are very important.
Through this "Thursday, Wednesday", which has nothing to do with the content and name, Li Tang has a more intuitive understanding of Ning Hao's ability in technology. Aside from the various borrowed elements, the art design is good, and the shots are absolutely top-notch.
"How did you come up with the idea of making such a film?" Li Tang asked with a smile at this time facing Ning Hao.
The director's job is to create, how to better present the text with images, and at the same time have his own expression. Since it is a creation, the original intention is very important.
To describe it in a literary and artistic way, it is the source of creation.
Ning Hao may not be the first time to answer this question, he smiled shyly, and said without thinking: "I came to the capital in 96, and I have been drifting here for so many years. ”
Saying that, he also said modestly: "Actually, I thought a lot at the beginning, but I will find all kinds of problems in the process of filming, so I think this work is more like an experimental work for me, and there are too many shortcomings." However, I believe that if I have the opportunity in the future, I will definitely shoot better. ”
This is a chicken thief, obviously with hints, and at the same time, he also expressed his determination to Li Tang.
Li Tang nodded, that's right, young people should be energetic and ambitious, so that they will have the motivation to struggle.
The company is recently setting up an actor agency department, and Zeng Jia's original intention was to sign some newcomers with development potential. Li Tang felt that he might as well sign some potential new directors, and movies are always the art of directors. If you are just an actor, you will inevitably be too passive, and with a director, you can have more initiative.
The importance of the director can be seen from Director Zhang Yimou's ability to support the entire new picture company by himself, to the fact that President Han took Director Chen into his first thing after the establishment of China Film.
Of course, capital is always at the top of the food chain.
At present, the company only has two contracted directors, Cheng Er and Zhang Baibai, and Diao Yinan and Wu Bin are still in the investigation stage. In fact, Li Tang is more optimistic about Xu Guangtou, but this guy is too ambitious and too fierce, so he may not be willing to sign a company, even if he signs, he must always pay attention to whether this goods will be backstabbed because of interests. Maybe it's better for everyone to work together.
At this time, after some exchanges, Li Tang felt that Ning Hao was also good, impeccable in terms of technology, and he was also very thoughtful, and he was also very good at teaching Yi's strengths.
So when Ning Hao got up to say goodbye, Li Tang deliberately held his hand and said, "Ning Hao, you have read a lot of films, no wonder "Thursday, Wednesday" looks quite novel." ”
Although Ning Hao looks very modest and low-key, the necessary beating is still indispensable.
As the saying goes: you don't need a hammer to ring a drum.
Sure enough, Ning Hao's old face turned red, his eyes didn't dare to look at each other, and his confidence was very inadequate: "Uh...... Mr. Li, please criticize more. ”
Li Tang nodded and encouraged: "Overall, it's still a good work, especially the lens language and switching are very good." ”
Ning Hao secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly said, "Teacher Li, you have won the award." Thank you and Director Zhang for giving me the opportunity to practice, eh...... Anyway, you'll see how I perform. ”
He's a senior now and will be graduating next year. Don't look at him as a Nortel photography department on the surface, but in fact, his major is pit dad picture photography, to put it bluntly, he is a photographer. Nowadays, digital cameras are in vogue, film is coming to an end, and what he learned about sensitivity, aperture, etc., is useless, and in the digital age, these machines can automatically synthesize.
What's more, his mind is not on his profession at all, he wants to be a director even more. With his current situation, he has neither a father who is a director, nor a mother who is a famous actor, nor a strong backer, so it is almost impossible to enter the system.
There are only two ways out after graduation, either as before, shoot commercials and MVs for others and accumulate slowly, and then develop into movies when you have money and connections.
Either it is to sign a contract with a film and television company that can value itself and is willing to cultivate itself, and rely on the company's platform to realize your dream of directing.
From Cheng Er to Zhang Baibai, and now Diao Yinan, Shengtang Film and Television is undoubtedly the best choice. Taking advantage of this opportunity to communicate with Li Tang, Ning Hao had to hug this thigh even if he poured out his heart and lungs.
……
"Brother, the second phase of Palm Springs will open next week." Zeng Jia walked in.
Before Li Tang asked her to pay attention to the better real estate in the capital, which is currently located between the East Third Ring Road and the East Fourth Ring Road, and the Palm Springs Apartment next to Chaoyang Park to the north is one of the hottest real estate projects in the capital at present.
The first phase was opened as early as May, but at that time, all the towers were sold, Li Tang didn't like it, he preferred the kind of slab buildings that were transparent from north to south.
"What's the opening price?"
"Twelve thousand! This is the average price, different types of houses, different floors, the price is different, the larger the house, the higher the floor, the more expensive the price. The most expensive four-bedroom is 370 square meters, and the highest floors are sold for more than 14,000. ”
Oh, good guys, the housing prices in Beijing have also risen, which is almost catching up with the housing prices of the World Trade Center Riverside Garden by the Huangpu River in Shanghai. However, the location of this real estate is really good, backed by Chaoyang Park, very close to the planned CBD, and the transportation is also very convenient, and you can go to the East Fourth Ring Road when you go out.
Buying a house is the location! District! District! Set against the backdrop of Asia's largest urban park, it is a non-renewable resource just like the banks of the Huangpu River. According to the memory of the previous life, if I remember correctly, the house in this kind of area will cost at least 100,000 yuan, and buying it now is equivalent to picking up money for nothing.
The reason why he wanted to buy a large flat with a good location this time was indeed for investment considerations on the one hand, but on the other hand, it was also to make some reserves.
This kind of thinking was also touched by the last time my ex-girlfriend bought a house. One more thing, after the last time, he talked to Li Xiuxiu about it, compared to his ex-girlfriend's stubbornness, Xiuxiu wanted to speak, Li Tang directly crossed over one million, and the house in Hangzhou was not sold, but Li Xiuxiu finally gave him an IOU, saying that he borrowed it.
How so?
It may be that the more grassroots people come from, the more they care about this kind of thing, especially when they are developing well, and they care more about their own dignity. But isn't this another sign of inferiority? If it were Fan Xiaopang, she would definitely be happy to accept it.
It was stimulated by the actions of the two sisters, his ex-girlfriend and Li Xiuxiu, that he came up with the idea of taking advantage of the fact that the house price had not taken off in this year and set up a house as a reserve.
You said don't look at him now, he gets along very well with Xiaopang and Jiang Qinqin, but what about in the future? If Chubby still becomes a superstar like in his previous life, appears in the Super Bowl halftime commercial, and enters Hollywood to star in blockbusters like "355", can the relationship between the two continue?
And Jiang Qinqin, what if she can't hold on one day?
is still the same sentence, it is his principle not to be prostituted for nothing, but he can't prostitute people for nothing, get together, and a big house in a prime location can still be handled.
