The superstar is here

Chapter 772 Awesome Script

"Zi Ang, which director do you plan to make the film? How much is the investment?" Li Yuqing asked anxiously.

Her family is not like Chen Ziang's.

The Chen family won't blink a few times if they lose hundreds of millions in business.

As for the Li family, even if they only lost a few million, it would be very painful.

The two are not in the same gear.

There are many new directors in Boyu Film and Television, and Li Yuqing knows at least nine of them.

There is nothing representative.

If there are, they are commercials, MVs and other small works.

But how can those works keep up with the movies on the big screen?

To use an image metaphor, comparing shooting commercials and MVs with shooting movies is like comparing driving bumper cars with driving heavy trucks.

Even driving a bumper car is compared to flying an airplane.

"It could be Du Yanling, or it could be Xin Ning and the others," Chen Ziang said.

When Chen Ziang said that it might be Du Yanling, Li Yuqing felt fine, but when she mentioned directors like Xin Ning who had just signed with Boyu Film and Television, her heart suddenly arose.

"Is this reliable?" She couldn't help blurting out.

Chen Ziang thought for a while, and replied honestly: "I actually don't know, what I can guarantee is that I will be the one to make the final cut."

Li Yuqing had a bitter face: "Then shall I vote, or not?"

Chen Zi'ang frowned: "For things like making movies, even if I, who have always been very arrogant, do it myself, I can't guarantee 100% stable profits with anyone. This is an investment, and it is impossible to avoid all risks. In the past I also told you that neither "Charlotte Annoyance" nor "I'm Not a Great Hero" can guarantee that I won't lose money..."

Li Yuqing was afraid that Chen Ziang would stop her from getting into the car, so she quickly said, "I vote, but about how much to invest, Ziang, do you have an idea?"

Only then did Chen Ziang's expression soften.

This cousin, no aunt Shi Hui would know how to behave and deal with things.

Ever since she started hanging out with herself, many opportunities have been given to her, but she is just too timid.

If you want to make a steady profit, then just go to work honestly.

When I go to work, the company closes down, the boss runs away, and the salary cannot be paid.

Labor Arbitration?

It's so troublesome, and if people's hearts are not in harmony, it will not be easy to recover all wages.

There are many people who just dislike trouble, so they might as well continue to find a job to make money.

They feel that it is more worthwhile to spend the time and energy spent in labor arbitration on going to work.

"My bottom line is 800 million, and I won't give too much. If it's too much, it's not a test. You are the only producer this time, so you're better than me at controlling costs." Chen Ziang said to Li Yuqing.

Li Yuqing's heart was slightly cold.

This movie is for the new director of Boyu Film and Television to practice?

"Okay, this film, whether you voted or not, the producer is you. Take the time to start preparing these few days. The project will be approved before the year, and it will be launched after the year." Chen Ziang didn't care about Li Yuqing anymore.

Li Yuqing still has a lot of questions in her mind to ask Chen Ziang, such as is the film storyboard done enough, what role does he play, producer, or what?
But since Chen Ziang issued the order to evict the guests, she had no choice but to leave the room holding the script.

Li Yuqing has been familiar with the production process and details of the film for so long.

After Li Yuqing left, Chen Ziang sat quietly on the sofa for a while, then took out his cell phone and made a call.

Not long after, the door rang.

Chen Ziang got up and went to open the door.

"Mr. Chen, I heard from Sister Qiuting that you were looking for me." It was Du Yanling who came. He didn't film the third part of "Love Apartment", and now he's working with Chen Ziang's crew.

Chen Ziang let Du Yanling enter the room, but the door was ajar.

"Sister Qiuting and Xin Ning will come over later." Chen Ziang explained, and sat on the sofa when he came back.

Du Yanling asked: "Is there any change in tomorrow's shooting plan?"

"No, we won't talk about this movie tonight, let's talk about something else." Chen Zi'ang pointed to the water dispenser and said to Du Yanling: "If you're thirsty, fetch water yourself, I won't be polite to you."

Du Yanling wasn't thirsty at first, but being alone with Chen Ziang felt unnatural, so she had to find something to do, so she got up to fetch water.

After Du Yanling finished fetching water, Xin Ning also arrived.

Both he and Du Yanling graduated from the Directing Department of Beijing Film Academy, so they are brothers.

But Xin Ning is now unknown in the film and television director circle, not as famous as Du Yanling.

No matter what, Du Yanling has made two hit "Love Apartment".

After Xin Ning entered, Li Qiuting also came over quickly.

"Women are troublesome. When I called you, they were the two who came first." Chen Ziang complained about Li Qiuting.

Li Qiuting didn't care for a long time.

Chen Ziang is known as "Brother Honest" among her.

Of course, it is also the famous "pit god".

"With a wife and a child, can I offend girls by talking casually about them?" Although Li Qiuting was used to Chen Ziang's complaints, she was also used to fighting back.

"Must, I don't expect to please you girls, and then find a girlfriend or wife among you." Chen Ziang and Li Qiuting bickered casually.

Du Yanling and Xin Ning laughed together, not daring to talk too much.

The two of them felt that they hadn't reached the level of Chen Ziang and Li Qiuting.

Chen Ziang and Li Qiuting are the bosses, their status and popularity are different from theirs.

"It is said that married men are more attractive, why do I think you are becoming less and less attractive?" Li Qiuting sat down next to Chen Ziang.

Chen Ziang didn't continue to quarrel with Li Qiuting, took out two printed scripts, and handed them to Du Yanling and Xin Ning respectively: "Both of you read this script, after reading the first two pages, tell me your thoughts."

Du Yanling and Xin Ning quickly took over the script.

"Then I'll take a look now." Xin Ning was more reserved than Du Yanling, there was no way, his qualifications were one or two levels lower than Du Yanling's.

Du Yanling hasn't gotten into Tian Xiaosheng and Hao Jian's level yet.

The directors of Boyu Film and Television generally have a circle and rank.

The highest level is the level of Chen Ziang, Tian Xiaosheng, and Hao Jian.

Then there is the layer of Li Longji, Li Qiuting, and Du Yanling.

At the bottom, of course, are people like Xin Ning who haven't produced big or popular films.

Although Li Longji had never made a movie, his qualifications were too old, and he was recruited by Chen Ziang, so he was able to enter Chen Ziang's floor to play.

Li Qiuting is one of the bosses, so it goes without saying.

Tian Xiaosheng and Hao Jian are both directors of the Billion Club, so they are also qualified to join Chen Ziang's class.

"Take your time, don't rush." ​​Chen Ziang said.

Li Qiuting asked curiously, "What about my share?"

"You didn't." Chen Ziang smiled.

Li Qiuting was a little anxious: "I'm the one who has the most free time here. I don't have many scenes, so why don't you give me some work?"

Chen Ziang thought for a while, went into the back room, and took out a stack of A4 papers.

"Don't you want to learn from me, this is for you!" He threw a movie script in front of Li Qiuting.

Li Qiuting's eyes lit up.

"I'm Not a Great Hero" filmed by Chen Ziang really made her jealous.

She has been clamoring to make a realistic work.

But she doesn't have a script.

Recently, other people's film and television companies have either been looking for Chen Ziang to discuss cooperation, or they want to ask him for a script through their relationship.

Ask Chen Ziang to film their script, that's a no-brainer.

investment?

That doesn't seem to work either.

So it's always okay to ask for a script, right?

Anyway, I racked my brains to make all kinds of demands and tricks.

Li Qiuting picked up the script and looked at the speed.

She doesn't want to make the "My Fair Princess" series anymore.

Seeing that both Tian Xiaosheng and Hao Jian entered the Billion Club, how could she feel at ease?
She used to be in the film industry, making TV dramas, and she just wanted to prepare for entering the film industry as a director.

After Du Yanling and Xin Ning read the script for half an hour, they finally stopped.

"Mr. Chen, I like the script of this comedy movie." Xin Ning said with a blushing face.

Du Yanling originally wanted to say that he liked it and wanted to shoot it, but Xin Ning spoke up ahead of time. He was dumbfounded and said cheekily: "Mr. Chen, I think it suits me very well."

The two started to fight.

Chen Ziang said with a smile: "Let me explain in advance that the cost of this film will be strictly controlled, and companies with more than 600 million will not vote. I have suggestions in the script for the actors to be hired. The final editing is in my hands. You follow my requirements and suggestions to invite people and shoot. By the way, my cousin will probably be a shareholder, so I don’t intend to let you be a trainer, but to earn money for me.”

Du Yanling and Xin Ning were shocked.

I wipe, the cost is so low?

Is it an online movie?

It was voted by the boss's cousin, isn't that a slap in the face of the boss?
The boss is not good at explaining to my cousin.

The filming really failed, and it will be difficult to ask the boss for scripts and investment in the future, and I don’t know what year and month it will be.

Both Du Yanling and Xin Ning began to hesitate.

"No hurry, you can take it back and have a look, study it, talk to me when the time comes, if none of you are willing to pick it up, I'll find someone else. If you are all willing to pick it up, then make a plan, sister Qiu Ting and I will watch it Whoever does it better will hand it over to him." Chen Ziang said.

Du Yanling and Xin Ning breathed a sigh of relief, it's fine if they don't choose now.

You can go back and do some research.

Not long after, the two left with the script.

Li Qiuting was still reading the script, fascinated by it, her eyes glowed for a while, and her eyebrows frowned for a while.

Chen Ziang looked at Li Qiuting's expression and thought it was amused.

Women who are serious are also very cute.

The script of this movie he gave Li Qiuting was well-known in his previous life.

It is praised for its strong colors and bold style.

The film created a group of ordinary Chinese people, extolled their national spirit of daring to live, die, love, and hate, and also reflected on the history, character, psychology, culture, and way of life of the Chinese nation.

The biggest feature of the film is that it shows the heroic and straightforward side of the Chinese people, which is quite different from the sad and heavy traditional style of mainland Chinese movies.

In terms of framing and the use of color, it has an excellent performance. The part where the hero and heroine are wild together has the beauty of "the unity of scenery and people" that is rare in Chinese movies, which makes people enjoy watching.

But in fact, this movie is not a very realistic work, nor is it a search for the roots of national culture.

On the contrary, in this story narrated in the past tense that connects three generations, what is portrayed is a personality with a future meaning, a personality ideal, which transcends the concrete social surface and has the depth of human nature and essence. The theme we are calling for is vigorous vitality, and it is the view of life that is undistorted, unrestrained, and frank.

Therefore, the work before the audience is not an understood world, but an ideal of life in a world.

It is different from any previous film reflecting farmers, and its perspective has shifted from the traditional tribute to the land to the tribute to life.

The supernatural characteristics of the story determine the unreality of the narrative, and the location of the story is also downplayed.In the film, even the most basic structure of society-the village is downplayed.All the narrative elements and audio-visual elements in the film serve this warm, free and joyful style of natural life.

Different from previous exploratory films, although it also carries the director's idea of ​​the theme of life, it does not completely dilute the plot like other exploratory films, and directly expresses the director's idea through the shocking power of pure film visual language.

This film starts from the real situation, and weaves a complete, beautiful and moving story framework from the specific characters and personalities in the specified situation, so that the ideas flow out naturally through the twists and turns of the story, the behaviors and actions of the characters.

The film itself has a complete story line, but most of this narrative line is completed by voice-over.

At the beginning of the film, when the picture was still completely black, the narration of "I" came from the soundtrack.

This is a point of view of recounting in the present tense, and this "I" is the narrator of the story here.Since he does not appear in the story, he is logically an objective narrator, but he is also a descendant of the characters in the story, which makes him have a certain sense of participation, and thus has the meaning of being narrated.

Therefore, this point of view is very peculiar and novel, and it enables the director to have a point of view reference with ease when dealing with the whole play, which is very free and omniscient.At the same time, the characteristics of his narration pull the story far away and have a historical alienation effect.Based on this point of view, the director clarified the fictional nature of the story in this opening remark.

"It's been a long time, some people believe it, and some people don't believe it." Thus, the story is very freely incorporated into the unreal time and space.The voiceover appears in 12 places in the film.The main plot turning points in the film, such as the relationship between the characters, the surrounding environment, and time conversion, are almost all explained by the voice-over.

The voice-over in this movie also assumes a "pre-narrative" function, which increases the audience's "expectation horizon" and makes the progress of the screen story more tense.

The honors the film received in previous lives can be described in countless words.

"How about it, do you still want to see the dawn?" Li Qiuting was immersed in the script for so long that Chen Ziang couldn't stand it any longer, so he reminded her.

Li Qiuting raised her head, looked at the time, and felt apologetic.

Then he looked at Chen Ziang with a complicated expression: "I dare not take pictures."

Chen Ziang nodded, expressing his understanding.

"I'm afraid I'll blow up the shot." Li Qiuting was heartbroken.

As a filmmaker, she can see the charm of this script.

But it was also because of this that she was afraid that she would not be able to capture the feeling inside.

It's like wearing a beautiful dress and walking through muddy meadows, fields.

She was afraid that when she walked over, the skirt would be completely different.
