Acting school started in 1998

Chapter 377: We can’t have sex in vain when we get together

Diao Yinan is very interesting. Although he usually has a clingy personality and is always very unhappy when talking, when it comes to making movies, he is absolutely resolute.

In his words, although the script has just been written, the story has been in his mind for a long time and has been transformed into pictures. He now wants to shoot it quickly.

When Li Tang discussed investment with him before, he was embarrassed and said that 20 would be enough.Li Tang was dumbfounded when he heard this. You must know that when Cheng Er made the short film "Criminals", it cost a total of 10 yuan. Even if everyone worked for nothing, he could barely lick his nose.

What can 20 million do?
Diao Yinan analyzed it with him in a serious manner. First of all, actors don't need money, and his friend who is a teacher at Xi'an Academy of Fine Arts is purely helping. As for the actress from the Chinese opera training class who can star in a drama, she is a Opportunity, also promised no reward.There are also the creative people behind the scenes. We are all buddies. I, Diao Yinan, am filming my first film as a director. Can’t everyone help me?
The most important thing is that he did not plan to use film this time, so he used a digital camera to shoot, which can save costs to the greatest extent.

Calculated in this way, the biggest cost is renting equipment and eating, drinking and eating of the crew during filming.

It's obvious that Diao Yinan lacks self-confidence, or he simply thinks about what he wants to shoot and doesn't think much about other things.

Furthermore, even videotapes can be exhibited at overseas film festivals.That year, Chief Jia's "Xiao Wu" won the Forum Award at the Berlin Film Festival in the form of a videotape.

But that won't work if it involves the release of videotapes, which must be magnetically transferred.The current magnetic transfer technology in China is quite poor. If magnetic transfer was done in Europe, a 90-minute movie would not be available without RMB 70 million.

Of course, it is a good thing for investors that the asking price is not high, as it reduces risks after all.If the film is not produced well, the maximum loss will be 20 yuan. If the film is good and can be released in the market, then it will not be too late to spend more money later on to make magnetic transfer film.Even though it may be expensive to do magnetic transfer in Europe, as long as it can be distributed, recovering the cost is basically not a big problem.

But from Li Tang's point of view, he has his own principles, which is not to be prostituted for nothing.In the same way, he never deliberately takes advantage of others.It’s fine if the movie doesn’t make any money, but what if it does?They have clearly contributed, but how much should you give them?It usually ends up being a lot of bullshit.

So Li Tang gave him an extra [-] yuan. Whether it was an actor's salary or a buddy's salary, he had to pay whatever he deserved. There was no need to exploit others and make them work in vain.

In fact, he would rather let Diao Yinan shoot the movie on film. As a patient with mild obsessive-compulsive disorder, he always feels that magnetic transfer to film is a bit awkward and does not feel like a real movie.Even if digital technology becomes popular in the future, occasionally seeing a film movie will still make your eyes light up.The texture of film may never be achieved by digital technology, as if it is alive.

It's just that Diao Yinan is not a director with a professional background after all. Even if he has been involved in the crew over the years, whether he can perfectly express the story in his mind through the lens, then the technical aspects are very important.

Through "Thursday, Wednesday", whose content has nothing to do with the title, Li Tang gained a more intuitive understanding of Ning Hao's technical capabilities.Putting aside various borrowed elements, the art design is good and the shots are absolutely top-notch.

"How did you think you would make such a film at that time?" Li Tang asked Ning Hao with a smile.

The work of a director is to create, how to better present words through images, and at the same time, he must have his own expression.Since it is a creation, the original intention is very important.

To use a literary and artistic word to describe it is the source of creation.

Ning Hao might not have answered this question for the first time. He smiled shyly and said without thinking: "I came to Beijing in 96 and have been drifting here for so many years. This group of drifters from Beijing is on campus. I saw and heard a lot of things, and some of them were things that I imagined after seeing and hearing those things, so I wanted to photograph these things.”

As he spoke, he said modestly: "Actually, I had a lot of thoughts at the beginning, but various problems were discovered during the actual filming process, so I feel that this work is more like an experimental work for me. There are too many shortcomings. However, I believe that if I have another chance in the future, I will definitely shoot better."

This guy is a thief, with obvious hints. At the same time, he also expresses his determination to Li Tang.

Li Tang nodded, this is right. Young people should be energetic and ambitious, so that they have the motivation to fight.

The company is recently setting up an actor management department, and Zeng Jia's original intention was to sign some new talents with development potential.Li Tang thought that he might as well sign some new directors with potential. Movies are always the director's art.If you just rely on actors, they will inevitably be too passive. With a director, you can take more initiative.

The importance of directors can be seen from the fact that director Zhang Yimou was able to support the entire New Picture Company by himself, to the first thing that President Han did after the establishment of China Film Group Corporation was to recruit Director Chen into the company.

Of course capital is always at the top of the food chain.

Currently, the company only has two contracted directors, Cheng Er and Zhang 100, while 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 aggressive. He may not be willing to sign a contract with a company. Even if he signs, he must always pay attention to whether this guy will backstab him for profit.Maybe a collaborative approach would be better for everyone.

After some exchanges at this time, Li Tang felt that Ning Hao was not bad, his technique was impeccable, he was also very thoughtful, and he was good at learning from foreigners' strengths.

So when Ning Hao stood up to say goodbye, Li Tang held his hand and said, "Ning Hao, you read a lot of films. No wonder "Thursday, Wednesday" looks quite novel." Although Ning Hao looked like Very humble and low-key, but the necessary beating is still indispensable.

As the saying goes: No heavy hammer is needed to make a drum sound.

Sure enough, Ning Hao's face turned red and he didn't dare to look at me. He was very weak and said: "Uh... Teacher Li, please criticize me more."

Li Tang stopped and encouraged: "Overall, it is a good work, especially the camera language and switching are very good."

Ning Hao secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said quickly: "Teacher Li, thank you for the award. Thank you and Director Zhang for giving me this opportunity to practice. Uh... Anyway, just watch my performance."

He is now a senior and will graduate next year.Although he appears to be majoring in photography from Nortel, he is actually majoring in photo photography. To put it bluntly, he is a photographer.Nowadays, digital cameras are becoming popular, and film has come to an end. What he learned about sensitivity, aperture, etc. are useless. In the digital age, these machines can automatically synthesize.

What's more, his current focus is not on his major at all, he wants to be a director.In his current situation, he neither has a father who is a director nor a mother who is a famous actor, and he has no strong backers. It is almost impossible to enter the system.

There are only two ways out after graduation. Either do the same as before, shoot commercials and MVs and slowly accumulate, and then develop into movies when you have money and connections.

Or you can sign a contract with a film and television company that values ​​you and is willing to cultivate you, and rely on the company's platform to realize your dream of being a director.

From Cheng Er to Zhang Baibai, and now Diao Yinan, Tang Dynasty Film and Television is undoubtedly the best choice.Taking advantage of this opportunity to communicate with Li Tang, Ning Hao would hold on tight to this thigh even if it cost him his heart and soul.

……

"Brother, the second phase of Palm Springs will open next week." Zeng Jia walked in and said.

Previously, Li Tang asked her to pay attention to the real estate in a better location in the capital. Currently, the Palm Springs Apartment, located between the East Third Ring Road and the East Fourth Ring Road, next to Chaoyang Park to the north, is currently one of the hottest real estate projects in the capital. To use a later term, In a word, it is called "Internet celebrity real estate".

The first phase had been launched as early as May, but the ones sold at that time were all tower buildings. Li Tang didn't like it. He preferred the slab buildings with transparency from north to south.

“What’s the opening price?”

"Twelve thousand! This is the average price. Different house types and different floors have different prices. The larger the house type and the higher the floor, the more expensive the price. The most expensive four-bedroom apartment with an area of ​​370 square meters will be sold on the highest floors. To more than 4000."

Oh, my dear, the housing prices in Beijing have also risen. They are almost catching up with the housing prices in the World Trade Center Riverside Gardens on the Huangpu River in Shanghai.However, the location of this property is really good. It is backed by Chaoyang Park and is very close to the planned CBD. The transportation is also very convenient. You can go to the East Fourth Ring Road when you go out.

When buying a house, it’s all about the location!location!location!Backed by Asia's largest urban park, it is a non-renewable resource just like the Huangpu River.According to the memory of the previous life, if I remember correctly, a house in this location would cost at least [-] yuan. Buying it now is like picking up money for nothing.

The reason why he wanted to buy a large flat in a good location this time was, on the one hand, for investment reasons, but on the other hand, it was also to make some reserves.

This thought was triggered by the last time my ex-girlfriend bought a house.One more thing, after the last time, he talked to Li Xiuxiu about this matter. Compared with his ex-girlfriend's stubbornness, Xiu Xiu wanted to talk, so Li Tang directly transferred 100 million. The house in Hangzhou was not sold, but Li Xiuxiu finally called him. I wrote an IOU and said it was a loan.

how to say?

Maybe the more grassroots they are, the more they care about this kind of thing, especially when they are developing well, 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 because of the actions of his ex-girlfriend and Li Xiuxiu that he came up with the idea of ​​building some houses as a reserve before housing prices took off these days.

Don't worry, he is getting along very well with Xiaopang and Jiang Qinqin now, but what about in the future?If Xiaopang still becomes a superstar like he did in his previous life, appearing in a Super Bowl halftime commercial, and making it to Hollywood to star in blockbusters like "355", can the relationship between the two continue?
And Jiang Qinqin, what if one day she can't hold on anymore?
Again, it is his principle not to be prostituted for free, but he cannot be prostituted for free either. For a gathering, he can still get a big house in a prime location.
