I really can't act

Chapter 266

China Film's music library is quite large, basically including most of the songs commonly used in movies. If there are any missing songs, you can get authorization from Yangma and China Music Group.

The former has the largest music library in Asia, and the latter has the copyrights of various classic light music and symphonies.

They all start with the country prefix, and my family is easy to handle.

In 05, when the copyright protection was still zero, China Film Group stole the soundtrack of an underground band in a literary film called "Journey". Unexpectedly, the original author did something real and sued the "Journey" crew and the entire China Film Group. up.

This kind of copyright lawsuit is quite difficult to fight. The plaintiff is an unknown band, and the defendant is a large group. I didn't expect to win the lawsuit.

This matter made China Film Group learn from the painful experience, and began to pay attention to the copyright of the soundtrack, not only the soundtrack, but also other copyrights.In addition, China Film has been involved in a long-term lawsuit with the Big Eight of Hollywood in order to import the film, and it has been practiced.

Later, in the litigation field, it was basically Pizza Hut in Beijing, which in turn became a copyright defender.

In 09, China Film produced a theme film called "Tiananmen", which restored the real documentary of the founding ceremony and re-done it with special effects.

Sure enough, the restored color films are naturally better than the black and white ones, and all kinds of theme films are taken without saying hello.

China Film Group used the reason that "special effects production is re-creation" to sue gods to block and kill gods, and Buddhas to block and kill Buddhas on the stage.

Fang Yi gradually understood the importance of finding a backer—how did Huaxia Film and Television, the leading private film and television company, "Tangshan Earthquake", a large-budget film with a high probability of not being able to recover its cost, should boldly give up its share , companies in Hong Kong, China Film with the country prefix, and other private enterprises.

The more investors there are, the more people will share the profits, but the more people will help.

When it was the turn of "If You Are the One 2", it was a film that had not yet been filmed and had already recovered its cost through placement of advertisements. The chance of making money was equal to 100%.Huaxia Film and Television chose to eat alone, not allowing others to invest a penny.

What should Fang Yi do: "Love Letter" is a collaboration with China Film and Souhu, and he is not sure if it will be popular.

If the next film is a youth film, you can consider doing it alone, and the next film will be a youth film. By that time, the brand has already been established, and he is undoubtedly stud.

——Just do what you say. After the filming of "The Piano of Steel", Fang Yi and Liu Tianxian returned to the capital. At this time, only a small part of "Love Letter" was left. Sometimes the assistant director led the filming, and Fang Yi went to do interviews to promote himself. movie of.

Like "Youth Film", which was filmed in the past and can be released in that year, it needs to be promoted early; on the contrary, special effects blockbusters such as "Avatar" have been working on special effects for a few years ("Avatar 2" was ten years later than expected. ), the production company will not spend a lot of money on publicity until they get the final film.

Fang Yi first talked about it with the third master on the phone: "The soundtrack should reflect the times, but don't be too old-fashioned."

The third master said: "Your old-fashionedness may not be the same as my old-fashionedness-I suggest that China Film Group help you screen it first, and take time to listen to each one to see if there is any suitable one. You can judge by yourself. .”

"Or, if you find something you like, let China Film Group buy it for you. Of course, this money is to be counted as an investment."

Later, I went to the China Film Group in person to report the general progress of the film to the third master.

"The filming is basically finished now, and there is still a little contemporary plot left, because it needs a female lead—that is, Liu Yifei, and she needs to show some acting skills. I guess it will take a while. I don't worry about me, I worry about her."

"Nothing else, some placements? Some transitions? I asked an assistant director and a newcomer to help shoot these shots."

The third master frowned, but stopped talking.

The producer of China Film Group often does not meet people when he comes to the place, but he does things authentically.Not only did Fang Yi find a place where it was snowing heavily, but he also reported the general plot of the whole movie to the third master.

The third master still couldn't help but said: "I know, you have shot a lot of material, you must control your desire to express, since it is a youth film, don't get too much about the things of the previous generation - those things are now Some of them were filmed by people," the third master blushed a little when he said that, because he knew that directors hated other people's directing, so he poured tea for Fang Yi with his stubby fingers, showing that his posture was a little lower.

He just said, "I personally think that if you can make a series of youth films, you can reach more audiences, which is more influential than purely critical films."

"Jia Zhangke has been filming for 17 years, and most people probably haven't seen any of his movies. If the movie is too sad, we all agree, but if you don't spend money to watch it, you definitely don't want to do that."

The third master looked at Fang Yi expectantly.

Good guy, this is scary.

Sometimes young directors tend to make films that satirize current events and are full of enthusiasm. We need such directors, but they are not mainstream.

Because the movie itself is still something for entertainment.

Fang Yi was secretly happy in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face, "I know, these points must be pointed to the end, it's an adjustment - it's like "Titanic" has class distinctions, but the theme is not to discuss that matter , but in terms of depth, because of those backgrounds, the film is deeper than ordinary romance.”

"I was in director Jiang Wen's crew for two months before, and I saw his filming techniques, and I hope I can learn from him."

The third master joked, "You mean, Jiang Wen is bad? I'm going to sue Jiang Wen." He pretended to stand up and danced.

Fang Yi then took the teapot and refilled it for the third master, repaying the tea pouring just now. "I apologize, I have a handle on you."

These words made the third master very happy. He felt that he was not a person who was full of dark thoughts. The most difficult thing to do in art was not the courage to smash everything, but the perseverance to crawl forward.

Although the former is also admirable.

Afterwards, Fang Yi took the time to go to the studio to cooperate with the assistant director to make a film. The newcomer brought by the assistant director was Guo Fan. Let's fight.

Guo Fan is not young anymore, he has been doing odd jobs for six or seven years, and he is quite sophisticated in human relations. After a few days, he coaxed the whole crew to like him.

He is also very proud of himself, Fang Yi said, "Building a good relationship with the main characters of the crew is the first step of being a director, so that you can command like an arm."

"I read in the book that directing is the art of compromise and the art of human affection."

On the set, Fang Yi chatted with Guo Fan when he was free.In the contemporary part of the plot, the cost of the protagonist is sponsored by the manufacturer, and the camera will deliberately stay half a second to shoot the logo-this kind of thing does not require any technology, Fang Yi is too lazy to do it.

In this grass-roots team he pulled up by himself, everyone must make progress and have room to grow, and he cannot micro-manage the overall situation by himself.

While chatting, a commercial vehicle came to the set. Guo Fan thought he had invited a big name to come as a cameo, because a reporter got out of the car, as well as a lighting engineer, a cameraman, and so on.

Our crew has a big name here?where?

Guo Fan not only said it in his heart, but also said it out of his mouth.

However, Fang Yi clapped his hands, got up from the chair, and said to him, "Excuse me. "China Film Report" has an interview."
