China Entertainment has been a director since 08

Chapter 122 Dragon Hunting Art!

At this moment.

Wu Jing and Guo Fan came back.

The "Bullet" TV series and the "Popping Star" movie have already wrapped up.

Then there is post-production.

Unlike Li Hao as a director, both of them have supervisors!
After all, as a director, Li Hao knew too well that if no one was in charge of the director, then the director would have a flash of inspiration from time to time, and it would be easy for the director to throw away the script directly.

The director is such a piss, there are too many ideas in his mind, and he wants to shoot everything. In the end, filming and filming are completely different from the beginning.

So there are producers and supervisors to restrict, so that they can shoot according to the original script.

The shooting styles of the two are different. They don't edit and color grade while shooting, and their post-production will be very long.

Normally, the rough editing of a movie takes about three months, and then it needs to be refined, sound effects added, and color graded. The post-production takes about half a year. If there are special effects, the time will be even longer.

And TV dramas are similar, even if the requirements are not so strict, there is no shortage of processes that should be involved.

Of course, the two of them can't be like Li Hao. In the later stage of film and television, various departments cooperate with each other, with a clear division of labor. They do the docking and the sound effects do the sound effects.

Both of them are new directors, and they don't even know how to edit, let alone color grade!

However, the two will also participate in post-production. This is something every director must experience, and they may not be proficient, but they must understand and experience the whole process.

Meanwhile, Lao Mouzi has had enough rest and is finally going to start directing again!

Now Lao Mouzi is coming to the door.

After all, he had enough rest, and he had to earn money to support his family. He had more children, so it was too much for one person to prepare a flat.

So I didn't dare to just rest like this.

"Director Zhang, take a look, the company has five movie projects in reserve, which one do you like first?" Li Hao took out five copies from the safe.

These five scripts were preliminarily produced by the company's editorial department and the Platinum masters.

Zhang Yimou picked up one and read it. This is "The Story of the Nine Cauldrons", a martial arts novel written by Tomato.

For Tomato God, Li Hao naturally admires him very much. "The Transformation of the Stars", "Coiling Dragon", "Jiu Ding Ji" and "Swallowing the Starry Sky", which has just finished its finale, have all achieved excellent results!

This script is the early stage of "The Story of the Nine Cauldrons", that is, growing up in Tengjiazhuang, there are several small climaxes, the biggest highlight is the battle with the Ziguang Shenjiao.

Zhang Yimou looked at it, frowned slightly, there were too many fighting scenes, as for the heroine ~~ no!

Literary drama is weak!
There is brotherhood, father-son relationship, mother-son relationship, brother-sister relationship, but love is missing!

Zhang Yimou picked up "Douluo Continent" again. Naturally, this would not be at the Junior Martial Soul Academy. After all, what is there to do with two little kids? A brief introduction in the early stage, and then Shrek Academy!

Zhang Yimou felt his head hurt, what kind of martial soul, soul power, soul bone, etc., made him dizzy.

What is this!
After drinking a glass of water, he slowed down and picked up the script of "God's Tomb". This is the script that God Chen Dong revised several times.

Zhang Yimou frowned slightly, and put the script next to "Jiu Ding Ji".

Then pick up "Tomb Raiders Notes".

After looking at it, Zhang Yimou finally chose "Ghost Blowing the Lantern: Finding the Dragon"!
Xunlong Jue is actually a combination of Jingjue Ancient City and Huangpizi Tomb. Although it has changed, a large part of it still retains the same tomb-robbing atmosphere of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern".

The success or failure of this movie is also related to whether the "Ghost Blowing Lantern" series of movies can continue.

When Li Hao saw that Zhang Yimou had chosen the script "Ghost Blowing the Lantern: Finding the Dragon", he immediately smiled.

With Zhang Yimou's relationship and influence, and the fact that they worked together on this one, it should be no problem to pass the trial.

The next day, Li Hao made an appointment with a few people.

In the conference room, everyone sat together, and on the big screen, appeared:

Play name: "Ghost Blowing the Lantern: Finding the Dragon"

Director: Zhang Yimou

Screenwriter: Tianxiabachang, Haotian Media Screenwriter Studio
Producer: Li Hao
Total film investment: 2.5 million

"Guys, Director Zhang will be the director of this film. The director's fee and dividends will be counted as investment, and Zhang Yimou's studio will account for 10% of the investment." Li Hao said: "Haotian Media will take 50 million and account for [-]%!"

"The remaining 40% share, 1.5 million, is reserved for everyone!" Li Hao said with a smile: "Don't tell me that I eat alone and don't leave some meat for everyone. Of course, if you don't want to, then forget it! Haotian Media takes care of everything!"

Han Sanping smiled and said, "Director Li is not a solitary eater, I can attest to that."

Han Sanping was very happy at this moment. Making money was not his goal, but his goal was to promote the development of Chinese films. He was more keen on big-budget movies, after all, big-budget movies were easier to attract audiences to cinemas.

In the past, Li Hao's films were all small and medium-sized investments. Although the box office was booming, they had little effect on the development of the film industry.

It's all right now, this year Li Hao changed his temper and made two blockbuster movies in succession.

"The Martian", excluding promotional fees alone, cost as much as 2 million to shoot. Outer space sci-fi films, hard sci-fi films, once successful, will have extraordinary significance and create a blank for domestic sci-fi films. From then on, China will have its own sci-fi films.

Now "Ghost Blowing the Lantern: Finding the Dragon", it is directed by Zhang Yimou, with a total investment of 2.5 million, action, suspense, thriller, fantasy, adventure, absolutely a big production!

When the others heard Han Sanping's words, they couldn't help but rolled their eyes.

China Film Group naturally followed suit, so it was easy to say, they didn't have any problems before.

"Our China Film, 7500 million, 20% of the share!" Han Sanping smiled lightly.

Everyone else was surprised.

"Our Huayi, 7500 million, 20% share!" Wang Zhongjun said quickly.

He didn't dare to hesitate at all, no matter how much he hesitated, he didn't even have to drink the soup.

"Mr. Wang, this is not good, you have already taken it, what should we do!" Yu Dong said.

Wang Changtian didn't do it either: "That's right, if you do this, don't you embarrass us all!"

Given Han Sanping's status, they naturally had no objections, and they dared not speak up if they had opinions, lest they be put in small shoes.

But Wang Zhongjun is different, they are not afraid.

All of a sudden, the whole conference room became lively.

After all, "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" is a popular IP at first glance, and it is easy to make a series of movies. If this opportunity is missed, they will have nothing to do with this series in the future.

And for them, investing in this kind of blockbuster movie that is easy to make money is much more cost-effective than investing in other movies.

With Zhang Yimou's influence, it is basically impossible to lose money in the mainland market, and overseas copyright or overseas release are much easier.

No matter how you calculate it, you will not lose money, it is just a matter of earning more and earning less.

Therefore, they have no objection to Zhang Yimou's investment share, but they must get a part of it!
