Chapter 239: Candidate for Director
Zhang Yuanjun crossed the port this time, not only did he come, but he did bring money.
He was not familiar with the place on Hong Kong Island, and he was blind to start working.
Therefore, he wants to spend money to hire a veteran filmmaker on Hong Kong Island to be the producer of his "Source Code", and to attract investment and organization for "Source Code" on Hong Kong Island.
Someone is willing to do this job.
The sound emperor fell in love with this piece of meat, but the sound emperor himself didn't want to vote for "Source Code" and do science fiction on Hong Kong Island? What do you think.
The sound emperor wants to earn this intermediary fee.
Several old labels on Hong Kong Island, Golden Harvest sold themselves, Shaw Brothers stopped production, Yongsheng was half-dead, Galaxy has long fallen apart, and several companies such as Yinhuang and Media Asia still maintain output.
But what "Source Code" needs to hurry now is to determine the director first.
Hong Kong Island also has many directors who can handle this type of film, and Zhang Yuanjun and his team have also met many people in the past few days.
There are old directors and newcomers.
In fact, Zhang Yuanjun's favorite is Xu Ke, but Xu Ke turned over with "Animal World" and will no longer be a tool for Zhang Yuanjun.
It seems that this favor can only be found later.
Until the start of "Detachment", the Hong Kong Island production of "Source Code" was not confirmed, and the director was not found.
For the first time, Zhang Yuanjun felt that it was so difficult to make a film.
Science fiction is promising, "Source Code" is just a criticism of science fiction, and the risk is not big, so why don't you want to vote for it.
Zhang Yuanjun gritted his teeth: "Find the director first, they don't want to vote, I vote, it's a big deal, I'll do it myself." ”
Li Yang is not a grinding director, and the two small-budget films "Blind Well" and "Blind Mountain" have honed his efficiency in handling work.
But urban education is a new subject for him after all, and there will still be many new problems on the set.
Zhang Yuanjun also has problems, and it is a problem with his acting skills.
He has made a lot of commercial films, and the only literary film "Love Has an Afterlife" before was played against Yu Feihong, whose acting skills are "not so good".
Coupled with more than a year of drama training, Zhang Yuanjun now feels uncomfortable in a professional literary film team like "Detachment".
Director Li Yang and heroine Huang Lu are both professionals in literary films, not to mention Hui Yinghong and Ye Tong.
However, no one can say that Zhang Yuanjun acted badly, but his state has not been adjusted.
In most cases, Zhang Yuanjun is fine, but when he needs to perform, Zhang Yuanjun will get stuck.
But then again, who doesn't NG on set.
At the end of the day, Zhang Yuanjun took off his makeup and returned to the hotel, and he had a guest tonight.
Studio colleagues said that they found a director, although he was a newcomer, but he had a lot of ideas, and brought him to Hong Kong Island to meet.
also sold Guanzi and did not tell Zhang Yuanjun the other party's name.
At 10 o'clock in the evening, a man with a round head and wearing angry red-framed glasses appeared in front of Zhang Yuanjun.
Zhang Yuanjun immediately smiled: "They also kept it a secret for me, just say that you don't want it." ”
The person who came was Wuer Fan, Zhang Yuanjun knew him for a long time, and the Beijing was engaged in advertising and installation art, and the studio of Wuer Fan was a big name.
He has also made movies, and "Soap Opera" won an international award in '04.
However, 4 years have passed, and he still has not received a second directing opportunity.
happened to hear that Zhang Yuanjun's studio's new project was looking for a director in the capital, so he recommended himself to the door.
Your fan has a good reputation in the advertising industry, and the studio is willing to give him a chance and take him to Hong Kong Island.
"Have you read the script?" After the greetings, Zhang Yuanjun began to talk about business.
"I've seen it." Your fan nodded, "I've thought about it, the ...... of this kind of drama like "Source Code"
Then, Wu'er Fan told Zhang Yuanjun in detail about the homework he had done in the past few days.
Because he has some directing experience, Urfan is more about explaining "Source Code" from a technical point of view.
He knew that the script of "Source Code" was written by Zhang Yuanjun, and if he talked about the interpretation of the characters and plot of "Source Code" in front of him, he would definitely not be able to pass Zhang Yuanjun's torture.
So he started from a technical perspective such as scheduling and lenses.
"I've spent a few shots in the past few days, you see." Your fan took out the manuscript paper from his bag.
Zhang Yuanjun's heart was very shaken, he came prepared, and vowed to take it.
Wu Erfan has been painting since elementary school, studied in the oil painting department of CAFA, and dropped out of school in his sophomore year because he disagreed with the teacher's concept and was admitted to the film academy.
From here, it can be seen that your fan is a person with very strong execution and personality.
The manuscript of your fan naturally brings his professional background and is very beautiful.
But if you want the storyboard to be beautiful, it has to be Feng Xiaogang's good-looking.
A few storyboard manuscripts are beautifully drawn, but the effect is mediocre and sufficient.
Commercial films like "Source Code" don't care about how superb the lens language is shown, everything just needs to be enough.
"We're already building the crew, when will you start directing it?" Zhang Yuanjun didn't talk nonsense.
"Tomorrow." Your fan's heart was beating suddenly, and he finally waited for his chance.
But Zhang Yuanjun didn't tell him that the crew's investment was not in place, so he could only trick him into getting on the ship first.
"Good. But you're a newcomer after all, so the director's salary may not be very much. ”
"You name it."
"170,000."
"Okay." Your fan pretended to reluctantly agree, but in fact, the price in his heart was about 150,000.
Because Ning Hao, who was unknown at the time, filmed "Crazy Stone", the director's salary was 150,000.
He felt that taking 150,000 should be considered a normal price.
"But the ugly words are in the front, we will arrange two veteran producers and two experienced assistant directors to join the team to assist you, if you have any comments on this aspect, we will communicate in advance."
"No problem, let's work together." Urfan knows that his first time making a commercial film, it is still a science fiction film, and the filmmaker will definitely intervene, and he is psychologically prepared in this regard.
"Okay, then we'll settle it, and we'll go back to the capital to sign the contract later."
Zhang Yuanjun shook hands with Wuer Fan and said goodbye, and after returning to the hotel room, Zhang Yuanjun synchronized the news back to the capital.
Now the director has also found it, although he is a novice, but fortunately, he has experience before, and the old producers and old executioners are pushing behind, so it shouldn't be difficult to get started.
Now it's the money that's hard.
The animation effect of "Source Code" should be made in advance to see the effect, China Film Digital Hualong has already received the order of "Source Code", the 4 million, it is estimated that it will be burned by China Film Digital in a month.
Not to mention the cost of scenery, labor, and venue.
Zhang Yuanjun is ready to use his private money.
The last time Zhang Yuanjun filmed on the set was "Love Has an Afterlife", he didn't enter the set for half a year, and Zhang Yuanjun's state was relatively slow.
But a week after the start-up, Zhang Yuanjun gave others a different feeling.
Huang Lu couldn't keep up with him.
Zhang Yuanjun entered the play very quickly, and he was very immersed when he entered the play.
Huang Lu is often taken by him when he plays with him.
Only assistant Xiao Zhao knows the reason, and Liu Yifei will come to Hong Kong Island to perform with "Blind City" in a few days.
If Liu Yifei doesn't come, Zhang Yuanjun's state will definitely not recover so quickly.
