China Entertainment started from art school

Chapter 264 Big Project Big Production!

After chatting with Zhu Yilong for a few words, he then focused on talking to Liu Tianxian, because the emotion just now was really not enough, so she needs to strengthen it here.

"There are basically no problems with the previous ones, but the character is not completely indifferent at this time, and she is not completely fluctuating at all with the appearance of Zhu Yilong——

In fact, when the external stimuli became heavier, her past memories became more and more loose, so at this time, she has already begun to be affected by the tragic memories of the past, so when you are here, you can try Brewing about tears. "

"Tears, cry?"

"It doesn't have to be to the point of crying, but it has to show that meaning."

"Will it be a bit abrupt? It feels like it hasn't arrived yet."

"No, the situation has reached that position, and this will make the character more plump and moving, and it will also make the audience feel her emotional fluctuations—no matter how it is reversed later, it must be shown here that the heroine is indeed amnesiac Now, we have to show her innocence, let the villain and the audience believe her, and pity her."

······
In late December, the movie "The Witch" was finished.

The crew disbanded on the spot, and everyone went back to their respective homes, each looking for their respective mothers.

Because Li Jingkun and Liu Tianxian also had bases in Xiangjiang, they were not in a hurry to go to Kyoto, but stayed at Liu Tianxian's home in Xiangjiang for a few days.

The atmosphere of Xiangjiang is a bit different from that of most cities in China. The pace of life here is really fast, and you can easily tell who is a tourist and who is a native of Xiangjiang on the street——Hong Kong local Most people dress cleanly and stylishly, pursuing a refined life.

But no matter how fast the pace is here, it will not affect Li Jingkun and Liu Tianxian, because their own fast pace is over, and now is the time to rest and relax.

So in the past few days, they have been sleeping late every day, basically getting up after 11 o'clock, brushing their teeth and washing their faces, and then driving out to eat.I came back in the afternoon to play with my mobile phone, then slept for more than an hour, went out to eat at night, and started shopping and shopping at the same time.

They stayed here for 5 days, and returned to Kyoto with a lot of things after 5 days.

The next day Li Jingkun went to work in the company, while Liu Tianxian went to her mother's place with some gifts and planned to stay there for a few days.

The two brought back a lot of things from Xiangjiang this time, including gold, supplements, clothes, shoes, toys, snacks, red wine, etc. Some were given to elders and friends, and some were given to children—Ning Hao, Huang The children of Bo et al.

As a result, after telling them, they told Li Jingkun not to come to the house, and they went to Li Jingkun's villa to have a dinner together.

It just so happened that the end of the year was approaching, so a few people got together and chatted a lot.Since Li Jingkun and Liu Tianxian were the only ones who hadn't actually married and had children yet, they naturally received a lot of ridicule and jokes, so they were asked to have a few children earlier and come out to play, so that they could play with their children then.

Speaking of the end of the year, the Spring Festival will be over in two months, and there will be a lot of arrangements.

Wen Muye's movie "I'm Going to See You Now" is already in the late stage of production, and the promotion is also in full swing, ready to be released on the first day of the new year.

And Liu Tianxian also received invitations from several TV stations because of the popularity of the song "Decent", hoping that she can go to the Spring Festival Gala; and Li Jingkun also has a part - if only Liu Tianxian comes, it will be the same price, if Li Jingkun takes one, The price has more than doubled!
Liu Tianxian and the others are paid according to the appearance fee of the first-tier stars, but if Li Jingkun can also follow, his appearance fee is higher than that of the first-tier stars!
At the same time, because I participated in the recording of the Spring Festival Gala, the competition was fierce at the end of the year, so the price was higher than usual.

In other words, as long as the two of them participate in this party, sing a song or two, and spend a few minutes, they can get a 7-figure reward!
Of course, the real calculation is not calculated in this way, and the rehearsal time and preparation time must also be included in the calculation.

But after thinking about it, Li Jingkun still didn't plan to go, but he was very supportive of Liu Tianxian's going.

He didn't go by himself because he was not short of money, and his status was not very suitable.

The reason for supporting Liu Tianxian is because she likes to sing very much, and now that she has this opportunity and can make money at the same time, why not do it?

"Ah, but don't you have nothing to do? Won't you go with me?"

"You still need someone to accompany you when you make money? How did you come here when you weren't with me before?"

······
It has been a long time since Jiao Hongfeng talked about the project with Li Jingkun last time, so the project plan and the outline of the script are almost ready, so I also found a time to make an appointment with him and plan to discuss with him again and make sure.

As a result, after the two met, the chairman of Huaying was a little frightened by Li Jingkun.

"This main theme movie, do you plan to invest 5 million in this project?"

It's not that Jiao Hongfeng is ignorant, he has been in the industry for decades, what big productions haven't he seen in these years?Coupled with the prosperity of the market in recent years, we have seen larger-scale productions and stronger lineups.

It's just that investing is not a matter of one or two sentences, and you have to implement many things.Especially since this is a project invited by the above, we can't just fool around?
So you have engaged in such a big battle, what should you do if you lose money?
Of course we support the country's film industry, but we can't bring the company down...

With a production budget of 5 million, do you know how much box office it takes to pay back?

15 billion!

Yes, I know that you are a great director. You have two movies with over 10 billion yuan, but you can't guarantee that each one can be so high, right?
And the box office is only worth 15 billion, so you have to consider making money...
The previous "Operation Mekong" project, Bona, won the bid with only 2 million yuan. In fact, we don't need such a large span here...
"There are still some differences. One is that the Red Sea incident has to be filmed across several countries. We have actually learned and calculated these expenses. They really cost this much money; the other is that I plan to actually do it. Shooting a lot of gun battle scenes, these scenes are very expensive, and at the same time need to use a lot of equipment such as warships and tanks, these add up to an astronomical figure."

Yes, it is indeed an astronomical figure, Jiao Hongfeng has already turned to that page - the cost and expenses of warships and other military equipment will account for 2 million...
It's outrageous! 2 million for other projects can make a big movie!

"Tuner" does not need 2 million funds!
"Hey, I asked you to do your best to prepare this plan, and you really did your best."

"Sure, chairman, do I dare not listen to your order?"

"..."

Jiao Hongfeng was a little speechless. He held the planning book and thought for a while, and then said: "But having said that, your planning book is still very attractive. One is that the investment is large, and the other is that the plan is very detailed. The script is well written. It’s not bad, if you really show it to the leaders, the probability of passing it is very high.”

Li Jingkun said: "Isn't this the result you want?"

"You can think clearly. Once this project starts, it will need at least 15 billion box office to start making money."

"I know, in fact, it doesn't need to be 15 billion if you calculate it carefully-but I understand it, don't worry. If you have concerns, Huaying can invest less and be responsible for distribution; later we will definitely do the same. It is better to invite several investors to share the risk together."

"I'll talk about this later, and it won't be too late to talk about it when the project is really won—you should make preparations. I will make an appointment with the leaders in the next two days, and the two of us will go there together."

······
The competition between countries in the new century is the competition of science and technology, economy and culture.

As the seventh great art of mankind, film is also of great significance to the promotion and display of a country.Some countries, including the United States and Bangzi Country, have long used some film and television works to promote their own culture and ideas, and at the same time sell many products and commodities through these works.

For example, "Independence Day", "Air Force One", "Top Gun", "Saving Private Ryan", "Forrest Gump" and so on, while making a lot of money, they can also show their country's appearance and some ideas Passing it on subtly and subtly is a practice that can benefit all at one stroke and serve multiple purposes at one stroke.

And let alone Omi or Bangziguo, even Xiangjiang attaches great importance to this piece; let alone the old ones, some Xiangjiang movies in recent years, such as "Cold War" and "Anti-Corruption Storm", etc. I keep sending you a message:
Xiangjiang is the safest, cleanest and most developed city in the world!
There is a very dedicated police, a very clean and honest government office, a prosperous economy and beautiful scenery, etc., all of which subtly promote themselves.The purpose is to attract more people to travel and consume here, to absorb more economic income, etc.——

Whether you agree or disagree, you have to keep promoting and showing it!

Now that the Huaxia Kingdom has become stronger, the cultural aspects are naturally more important, so it is only natural that they also pay more attention to film and television.

We also need to show our own style to the world, show our values ​​to the world, and make our voice heard to the world, etc. We cannot just give up the right to speak, or let them smear us arbitrarily.

Therefore, many people in the entertainment industry, who have gained momentum and are proud of themselves, should not be too complacent, because since you have reached this position, with all this wealth and influence, you must also shoulder more responsibilities. .

"This is the first version of the script we wrote based on some public materials and information, you can also take a look."

On this day, Li Jingkun and Jiao Hongfeng went to visit a certain department and met with several persons in charge.

Li Jingkun and Jiao Hongfeng are well-known figures, and these three persons in charge occasionally deal with people in the film and television industry, so they naturally know them.

Of course, Jiao Hongfeng and the others are more familiar and have a closer relationship, and their positions are no lower than them - they are only responsible for things in different fields.

The reason for their meeting today is also very clear to each other, so after a brief introduction to each other, they quickly entered the topic.

Li Jingkun handed them the planning book and the script. Of course, he copied several copies, so that each of them had a copy of the materials to read.

Soon, the same as Jiao Hongfeng's previous reaction, the three people in charge also saw the figure of a total investment of 3 million Ruanmeizi for the first time, and were also shocked.

Nonsense, the 2 million figure offered by Bona Film and Television a few months ago was enough to win the project of "Operation Mekong". Now Li Jingkun's quotation for them has directly doubled and a half times, which must be very surprising to them expected.

"A total investment of 5 million yuan? Are you sure there is nothing wrong?"

Although the more funds, the better, but they should not be too messy, otherwise they will be treated as nothing - if the conditions are set too harsh, it will not work, otherwise no film and television company will dare to accept and dare to shoot the projects released by them. ·····
So when seeing this amount, Zhou Qili, the minister in charge of the three, said this.

At this time, they were communicating in a bright conference room. Jiao Hongfeng was naturally sitting on the same side as Li Jingkun. Now that he heard the person on the other side asking this question, he naturally turned his attention to Li Jingkun—today the protagonist is mainly Li Jingkun, and he is in charge arranged this meeting.

Li Jingkun nodded: "Yes, there is nothing wrong."

Zhou Qili said: "You are all professionals in this industry. You should be very clear about the weight of this number, right? You should know how much box office you will have to get to get back the money, right? It is a good thing to want to make this movie well, but don't be too concerned about it. Barely or too much—making these kinds of films is a long-term job."

"Of course I understand very well, and I didn't list a random number to scare you. It is determined by the content of the subject matter. And I also deliberately want to take this opportunity to make it larger-the subject matter is indeed Very good! It can produce many big scenes and many wonderful plots.

And I am also very confident in our film market. Now the number of screens is gradually increasing every year, and it has not yet reached its peak, so I am still very confident in its return. "

Zhou Qili and the others all laughed because they noticed his last word: return to the original.

Well, are you confident that you will get back your money?
But even so, there are more than one billion box office, I feel that the confidence is actually great!

After there was no doubt about the funding issue for the time being, they continued to read the planning book, such as the content of the script and the shooting schedule.

When encountering questions during the period, it is natural to sit and communicate non-stop.

Of course, the production budget is acceptable and qualified, which means that Li Jingkun and the others are really sincere; but the funding is only part of the reference standard, and the specific content and plan are also very important.

So keep checking their thoughts and plans as well.

This project is just a movie if it is small, but it is a very important task when it is large. Some long-term tasks about culture and country cannot be fooled casually.

This project is called "Operation Red Sea Evacuation". It mainly tells about the hijacking of a Chinese merchant ship outside the Somali waters. Some crew members were killed by pirates, and others became captives.

The 8-member team of the domestic "Jiaolong Commando" was ordered to carry out the evacuation mission, sneaked into the merchant ship and carried out a surprise attack, and finally successfully rescued all the hostages.

Regarding the specific process of the incident, Zhou Qili and others must be much clearer than Li Jingkun and the others, but knowing the whole process and results is definitely different from the final reflection in the script; and the script is different from the film that is presented after the final filming Sometimes the content may not be exactly the same.

So you need to communicate and communicate differently.

Li Jingkun and the screenwriter department of Longqi Film and Television gathered all the materials and reports they could find, and then wrote the script together. They don't know how different it is from the real event, but this is to be filmed for the audience to see. , must go through a certain degree of screening, and at the same time must conform to the rhythm of a movie.

Where there is a need for a hot spot, where there is a need for a big scene, where there is a need for literary drama, it is necessary to control a rhythm.

In this regard, Li Jingkun and the others are professional, so after watching for a long time, the three of them nodded from time to time, and communicated with each other; they basically felt much more satisfied.

"It's not bad. Although there are many discrepancies in the details, you are a professional in this area. I am a little fascinated by this script."

"You flatter me."

"The shooting plan is also very professional and complete. If the shooting can really be done as you planned, the effect should be quite good."

"In this regard, you can rest assured that the effect will only be better than the plan. At present, it is only the first version of the plan, and it will be continuously improved in the future."

Zhou Qili nodded, and then asked them a few more questions, one of which was asking him what he thought of the main theme movie.

　Thanks to the boring middle-aged man for his 100 tip support!
