China Entertainment: The happiness of being a director is as simple as that

Chapter 127 Epic-level strengthening of the behind-the-scenes team, starting to set up a project
The general script is done, and the project is ready to enter the final stage.

In addition to actors, it is mainly the preparation of props and art.

If you want a movie like Wonderful Night to have texture, you must work hard in this area.

The New York Museum of Natural History in the original film has this feeling.

Decoration, props, etc., have all been considered.

The color tone is uniform and layered. With the lighting and post-editing, it is not simple at first glance. At least it will not be considered as a set, but as a real shot.

Now that a movie is going to be adapted into a Chinese one, the relevant art has to be changed.

Both Chinese aesthetics and Western aesthetics are very complicated. Now it is impossible to copy the original version, so the remake must not be too bad.

Lu Pingan noticed this from the very beginning in terms of architecture, so he used several famous museums in China as reference for the decoration of the scenery.

It's just that if you want to improve the texture further on this basis, you have to rely on real capable people.

The difference between a master and an ordinary designer may often lie in the changes in some details.

It doesn't look like much has changed, but after changing it and looking at the effect, it's completely different.

He understood this truth when he was doing an interior design internship before.

So he is completely open to finding foreign aid.

Principal Zhang also hired a capable person for him.

Not Chen Danqing, but Yang Zhanjia.

This teacher is 66 years old this year, and his name is unfamiliar, but he is well-known for his beautiful finger works.

"A Dream of Red Mansions", "Farewell My Concubine", "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon".

Mr. Yang doesn't do much work anymore, but he is very interested in Lu Pingan, a rising star in the film industry who has emerged in recent years.

In addition, Principal Zhang went to invite him twice, and Lu Pingan also went to visit with him once, and finally the old man agreed.

As soon as the old man came, the master's moves were extraordinary.

After learning about the style that Lu Pingan wanted to present, the floor, carved windows, tiles, etc. were all changed soon.

Several main scenes instantly become full of flavor and texture.

Then the scenery of the miniature model booths and the booths of different dynasties was also changed. With the help of glass and lighting, at a glance, the scenery of each window is completely different and beautiful.

The inner universe of this museum suddenly became bigger.

Lu Ping'an and everyone in the production team admired it again and again, and the rest of the art behind the scenes also cherished this opportunity and decided to study hard.

And this is not over yet, Mr. Yang can also provide advice on Fuhuadao, shooting lenses, and post-production companies.

Lu Ping'an felt that his version of Wonderful Night already had a taste of Lao Mouzi.

Just don't care about the plot, anyway, at first glance, the beauty in the camera will definitely be better than his own, even better than the original version.

Please Mr. Yang, this 100 million is really worth the money!
In addition to the great art and art direction of the behind-the-scenes team, they also contacted several capable people for the soundtrack.

The specifics of the soundtrack will not be officially determined until the film is finished and enters the post-production stage.

The original soundtrack can actually be used, but since it is Chinese, it has to be changed anyway.

If the final effect is really not good, then switch back to the original soundtrack.

But Zhao Jiping, Hu Weili, Mai Zhenhong, any one of them should be able to create not bad creations.

In addition, there are costume design and action direction, and I have also found famous people.

Among them, action guidance may not be used very much, but there are action scenes in the film, at least in the "big chaos" stage, it can be mixed with some.

Lu Ping'an felt that the possibility of surpassing was greatly increased in this shooting.

The behind-the-scenes team has also been epic-level enhanced.

Then there are the actors.

Lu Ping'an already had a rough idea about casting actors.

The most important of these is the main character.

In terms of protagonist candidates, comedians in this period have many choices.

There are more than a dozen in the Mainland alone.

Lu Ping'an had three favorites, Fan Wei, Chen Peisi and Guo Tao.

Ge You and Dongbei Lao Zhao are a little bit older.

Moreover, Ge You's comedy style is self-contained and cold, and Lu Pingan would prefer him to play Sima Qian.

Like Roosevelt, Sima Qian was cut in half in the end, and Ge You's later "Master" was also cut in half, which is very interesting.

In addition, Sima Qian in the film is super serious in front of people, with a wise and upright face, but when facing the girl he loves, he will show a little nervous or even a little wretched, Ge You is very suitable.

Lao Zhao is also in his own style, and he is too old. The key is that he is not stupid and innocent in the public impression, but a "ghost spirit". more appropriate.

Fan Wei is 41 years old this year. It is more reasonable to have a son in his early teens. Of course, Guo Tao is more reasonable than him. Guo Tao is 35 and has a young face. Later, he was also a bodyguard in "Crazy Stone", so he can have a dream linkage.

But compared to Guo Tao and Fan Wei, Lu Pingan still prefers Fan Wei, unless Fan Wei is not available.

Chen Peisi is of course better than Guo Tao, but both Hu Qingquan and Han Sanping suggested that Lu Pingan should put him on standby.

Lu Pingan was not a fan of Chen Peisi, so he listened to her advice.

There are other alternatives, but they are somewhat inconsistent with the character design. For example, Fu Biao’s face is a bit more aggressive, Guo Da is too old, he is 47 years old, and his face is even older. Lu Ping’an doesn’t like Huang Hong’s words, and Xu Shanzheng is also suitable. , but Lu Pingan thinks that he is more suitable for the domineering doctor in the museum. The funeral boss in "Crazy Racing" is a good one and can be used as a reference.

Shen Teng is already filming the drama "I want to eat twisted twists for you now", and he can act, but he is a little younger, only 24 years old, and his face has not yet got rid of the evil school grass image, so he is not very suitable for the role.

So in the end there are only two protagonists, Fan Wei and Guo Tao.

As for the other characters, Lu Pingan, the Pharaoh, intends to ask Milk Tea Week to play a cameo.

As a commercial movie, you need to add some gimmicks.

But it can't give such a big role as "Golden Armor".

People don't know how to act, so a qualitative cameo will save a lot of negotiation for the role, which is the most cost-effective.

If the milk tea week doesn't come, then find someone else. In short, there are many singers and stars who want to participate in the film and television industry now.

Ex-wife: Young Master Zhou, stepfather: Chen Kun.

These two are agreed-upon cameos, and there are few roles, so I will give them two.

Son: Find You Haoran.

Doctor: Xu Zheng.

Wu Guohua went to the phone first, and changed it if he was not free.

Zhao Kuo: Huang Bo, this character needs a bit of aggression in addition to being silly. Huang Bo's mouth is very suitable.

Lu Pingan also asked the school teacher for the number, and then called.

For Baoqiang, there was no suitable one in Wonderful Night, so Lu Pingan arranged "A World Without Thieves" for him, and Baoqiang was [-]% willing, and then stayed to do group performances.

Cowboy: Lu Ping'an found Cao Cao.

The American actors in the original version are very good, but they are already famous, at least a million dollars in salary, so there is no need, wait for the Hollywood version to start filming.

The rest of the easter eggs: Qu Yuan, the emperor and other historical figures, Lu Pingan left it to the teachers and students of Nortel.

Regarding Hua Mulan, Lu Pingan originally planned to let Liu Qianqian play the role, but thinking about her and Ge You's CP, this seems to be against harmony.

Therefore, the roles of Hua Mulan, narrator, and Tang Seng are temporarily to be determined. This is a position reserved for other producers. If there is really no suitable one, you can find it yourself.

For a commercial film, if you want the work to achieve the greatest advantage in publicity and film scheduling, some of the relevant shares must also be released.

This is the rule of commercial films.

In addition, this movie still has special effects.

The special effects can still be squeezed out.

But this time Road Ping An will not release 50% of the shares like last time.

Since Wonderful Night has already prepared for the overseas box office to be cold, the most important thing is to pay close attention to the domestic box office.

So he calculated, if the cost is 4500 million, it is most appropriate to give up 1500 million.

1500 million is just enough to cover the production cost of the film, and the special effects don't cost much.

It was equivalent to Lu Pingan getting a movie without spending much money.

If you add advertising sponsorship and director fees, you can still make a lot of money.

The film also retains 70% of the share.

In this way, if the domestic box office is only 5000 million, he can make a lot of money.

After the matter was settled, Lu Pingan officially released the news to the outside world, and the new film project was established and accepted investment negotiations.

It stands to reason that investment negotiations need to determine the script and starring role first.

But Lu Pingan, who had a strong record once, doesn't need this now.

He just needs to say, "I'm still going to make a blockbuster this time."

So after the news was released, investors, film companies, brokerage companies, advertisers, and even film and theater operators were all moved after hearing the news.

At the same time, the actors who received the call were also instantly excited.
　I am continuing to code, and I will try to let you see the new chapter tomorrow morning.

　　In addition, everyone gave their opinions on the protagonist candidates, among which Fan Wei and Ge You got the most likes.
