This director needs to apologize

Chapter 294 Subtle and cheerful atmosphere

Chen Yiming asked confidently, leaving Xiangrui completely speechless.

The love story is given to you, and the stringent requirements are met. If the actors feel that they can't perform it, it's not the screenwriter's fault.

Adjusting the script to the extent that it matches the actor's acting skills is really not the screenwriter's business in the actual operation, or it is not mainly the screenwriter's business. It is actually the director who needs to make great efforts.

Because for a certain scene in the script, only lines and simple annotations appear in the script. How to present it is mainly the director's job.

It is true that the resource person can bring the screenwriter into the group to add scenes for him, but after all, he still needs the cooperation of the director. When encountering some stubborn donkey directors, he will give up easy things and force actors to expose their flaws. That minute is the scene of a car accident, and all the hard work The number of fans who gain more fans through the drama is not necessarily greater than that of Heizi.

Therefore, Chen Yiming's evasion is really not just a joke on Xiangrui. It is the director Xiangrui's responsibility to use technical means to cover up the actors' flaws during the actual shooting.

Moreover, Chen Yiming's story is not about making things difficult for Liu An and Liu An. From the perspective of the male protagonist, love is just a side line, and the main line is actually growth. Liu Dongjun is very familiar with this theme.

The setting of the heroine is more in-depth than that of "Love Letter", but it still cannot be separated from the positioning of the vase. It is just that in addition to being beautiful and beautiful under the camera, the emotions shown are more diverse.

The systematic education An Xixi received was enough for her to cope with this level of filming. The emotional outbursts at several critical moments only came out with patience.

Xiaomei immediately gave Xiangrui some information on Bojue's current project process, which mainly consisted of three timetables.

However, this link has been greatly accelerated in Platinum Jue. The project planned by Chen Yiming is almost equivalent to guaranteeing half of the investment. If it is a contracted director of Platinum Jue, then Moying can guarantee 1/4 of the minimum investment.

This stage covers the entire process of project preparation, mainly various desk work.

Xiangrui is now Bojue's direct director second only to Chen Yiming, and her performance can stand the test. Therefore, whether her next movie is written by Chen Yiming or not, the investment is appropriate.

However, under Chen Yiming's initiative, Bojue transferred the right to apply for a filming license to the production department, requiring that the preparation progress must meet certain standards before the producer can start the submission process.

Xiaomei had long used the notebook she carried with her to write down the main content of today's discussion. This film project, tentatively titled "500 Days of Summer Solstice", is considered to be on the agenda of Platinum Jue.

Speaking of which, even though he still refused to sign this agreement, Manager Mo begged Mr. Ma, who then had a private chat with Chen Yiming to make Mr. Ma give in, who was clamoring not to bully the poor young man.

Next, a full-time producer naturally contacted Xiangrui and agreed on a series of follow-up tasks.

At this time, the producer assigned by Xiaomei is no longer a producer, but a waiter of Xiangrui. For example, Shueisha's editor is responsible for connecting with the old thief Togashi. It is normal to order more in the mahjong game.

After Platinum Jue was expanded to the Chinese film industry, this timetable is almost the process of director or producer formation. Roughly speaking, half a year is fast.

An Meizi is nothing more than a moving vase. There is no need to delve deeply into her inner world. It does not have to involve everyone in the crew. An Xixi herself may not have the ambition to hone her acting skills.

Doing this is equivalent to institutionalizing project preparation, and finalizing the script, storyboarding, location selection, main creative and behind-the-scenes lineup, etc., are forcibly locked before the official launch.

This is also the main reason why Chen Yiming laughed and said nothing when Xiangrui asked to change the story to a female protagonist.

The so-called first review is actually to log in to the film bureau website to apply for a filming license online. Because the form items are very simple and only require filling in the film type and story outline, most colleagues do not pay attention to this process.

After all, an important prerequisite for a project to get a green light is that most of the investment is in place. This is not simple at all. Large projects will definitely take a long time, and small projects may not happen overnight. To a large extent, it depends on luck.

In order, the first one is the internal review schedule. As the name suggests, it is the schedule of the project before it is discussed by the Platinum Project Review Committee. This time can be long or short, depending on the director's subjective wishes.

After the internal review gives the green light, and before submitting the filming permit, there is a second timetable, or a review timetable.

In this regard, Platinum Jue and Moying have signed a special agreement. Just before the "Mulan" project was established, and it was the Fiend Investment Department that asked Platinum Jue to sign. According to the agreement, Platinum Jue's self-made project, Phantom has no higher than 25% priority investment right.

In this way, we can avoid changing scripts, actors, and shooting plans day and night as much as possible, and implement the producer-centered system to the end.

Of course, China has a tradition of directors taking charge of creation, which involves the third schedule, which is the production schedule.

From the official start-up to the second review, the director is fully responsible for the entire shooting, post-production, and review process. Chen Yiming himself was tired of being a tool, so he never thought of limiting the director's improvisation.

This timetable is not so much a progress control table as a budget allocation table. Under the premise that the project investment has been determined, film production is actually a process of spending all the budget.

After the director allocates the budget, it is naturally equivalent to setting a deadline for handing in the work. The producer's job is to supervise the progress of the project so that it does not fall behind the schedule.

As for the specific production process, as long as the director doesn't mention adding money, the producer doesn't need to ask.

Like Jiang Magui in his previous life, he worked one trick a day, and then ran out of money halfway through the filming, and then went around the world to find money. Chen Yiming was respectful and insensitive. For such a domineering and leaky director, Lao Jiang is enough.

Under Platinum's current system, the internal review committee controls the amount of investment through the first timetable, the production department determines the project framework through the second timetable, and the director motivates and restrains himself through the third timetable.

At the same time, the formulation of all three schedules requires the producers and directors to supervise each other and work together, which invisibly balances the seesaw of risk and innovation.

Currently, "Mulan" has been transferred to the copyright operation department after completion, leaving Xiaomei's production department empty.

"The Usual Suspects" is in the project preparation stage. According to the schedule, it will take some time before it can be officially submitted. For the time being, it only occupies one full-time producer and three assistant producers, so Xiaomei has sufficient room for scheduling.

As long as the shooting times of "The Usual Suspects" and "500 Days of Summer Solstice" do not overlap, Xiaomei will be able to cope with it.

Xiaomei's long speech opened the eyes of several people outside the Platinum Jue system.

Lin Xiao is now only a marginal member of Platinum Jue and rarely comes to the company. However, he is very familiar with the production process of Meiying Studio. By comparison, it is easy to see the advancement of Platinum Jue's system.

Gu Yuehe is also interested in turning part of his energy behind the scenes. He plans to also be a producer for his next film. Now that he heard about Bo Jue's producer duties, he suddenly became interested.

An Xixi listened more attentively. Don't forget that she had always planned to be a director, and acting was just an unexpected episode.

When Godfather Chen introduced her to Chen Yiming through Master Ma, his original intention was to find a good guide for her domestic directing career, thinking that as young people, they should have a common language.

Who would have expected that Mr. Ma would regard him as a blind date?

Meizi An listened all the way and told her that Bojue wanted a system and a creative system, so she couldn't help but want to join.

On the contrary, the impetuous Xiangrui only listened to it half-understood, but she got one thing, that is, the Bo Jue Internal Audit Committee will read the script.

So she had enough confidence to make a request to Chen Yiming, Liu Dongjun and An Xixi, "I can't just let me write the script alone, you must also join in.

Dongzi, I will assign you a task. Whether you seek advice from classmates or chase girls by yourself, the research must be thorough and meticulous. In one month, I will give you a true-life licking dog.

Xixi, the same goes for you. How do you show a level of intimacy with the opposite sex when you can only hold hands? You need to give me a set of personalized expressions.

Yiming, movies need logic, and the current version of the story lacks logic. We have to make up for it. You, the original author, don’t want to stay out of it!
I agree that it is more appropriate to use a male protagonist's perspective narrative, which is one of the reasons why I hope you will participate in the screenwriting. I’ve never been in love before, so I don’t understand the psychology of licking a dog! "

Da Zhuang, who was next to him, couldn't restrain himself and interjected, "Where can I be from my mother who has never been in love? Xiangrui, do you need me to connect Megan and Lily on the phone now? It seems that your nutty ex-boyfriend can't fit in a dormitory, right? "

When Xiangrui heard that he was worried, he stretched out his hand to stop Da Zhuang's mouth, "How can you accuse someone of innocence out of thin air?"

Da Zhuang smiled and resisted Xiangrui's hand, "You've been up all night, and you said you've never had a boyfriend?"

Xiangrui immediately became enthusiastic and argued, "That's because he went to a midnight movie to watch an all-night movie. How can he be considered his boyfriend?" Then came a series of excuses, such as collecting stories and investigating the psychology of the opposite sex.

Everyone couldn't help laughing until their stomachs ached, and the private room fell into a subtle and happy atmosphere for a while.
