Chapter 49 "The Horror Cruise Ship"

"Are you going to shoot on a large ship?"

After hearing Tang An's reason for coming, Han Sanping frowned.

"Passenger ship or freighter?"

"It's best to be a passenger ship, but I only shoot the outside and a few layers of plywood. The scenes inside will be completed in the studio, and it will probably take a week to temporarily rent a ship!" Tang An said quickly.

"How big do you need?"

"Generally, ocean-going cruises are fine, there are no special requirements!"

"Do you want to go out to sea or shoot on the shore?" Han Sanping asked again.

"There is a big panorama that needs to go out of the port, and the rest just don't get too close to the shore!"

Han Sanping nodded. This kind of ocean-going ship cannot be sailed casually. It must be reported to the marine police and shipping department in advance. It will be very troublesome if it stops outside the port for a week.

"Well, let me take a look at the cruise ship for you, but you must not sail out of the port. If you want to take a full shot, I can give you a little time to shoot when you go out to sea. Then you hurry up!" Han Sanping thought for a while and said.

"Thank you Director Han!" Tang An quickly thanked him.

This is already very good, otherwise he can only go to the shipping company to rent a riverboat, which is about the same size as in the original movie.

"Director Tang finished writing the script?" After talking about the ship, Han Sanping began to care about the film.

He is quite optimistic about Tang An. He is young and capable, and the film is commercial, which is enough for him to support him.

At the same time, he was also curious about what kind of story Tang An, who had just made a wonderful movie like "Shark Beach", could write this time!
"The script has been finalized. Next, it's time to create the script and work on the storyboard script!" Tang An took out the script from his bag and handed it over, and also gave Lin Sheng a copy.

"Then I'll have to see if the story this time is equally exciting!"

Han Sanping accepted the script with a smile, and the four characters on the cover made him interested.

"Cruise of Horror"!
Another horror suspense movie.

Han Sanping had no objection to Tang An's choice of subject matter, although he hoped that Tang An would make a blockbuster costume movie.

However, the country is really capable of making blockbuster costume movies, and the directors who make them are definitely good, and there are not even more than 5.

Xu Ke is filming "Seven Swords", Brother Chen Kai is filming "The Promise", and Tang Jili is filming "Mythology".

There will be only these three blockbuster films next year, and "Seven Swords" is a martial arts film, the type that Xu Ke is good at.

"Myth" is starring Cheng Long, and neither of these two films will be too bad.

Although Chen Kai has never made a blockbuster costume film, Han Sanping found him the top production team in China.

Cinematographer Bao Dexi, Art Director Ye Jintian, and Visual Effects Director Zhong Zizi are all outstanding in their fields. Coupled with Chen Kai's reputation, "The Promise" is almost the most likely movie to challenge the box office record of "Hero" in recent years up.

As for Tang An, although Han Sanping is also optimistic about him, he is too young and inexperienced after all. It is not so easy to shoot a big production!

After reading the whole script, Han Sanping frowned slowly.

After more than 20 minutes, he read it again, still frowning.

"A style similar to "Memento"? It's hard to make this kind of film, and it's even harder to sell it!"

As a senior filmmaker, Han Sanping even asked what kind of movies can make money in the current domestic film market.

This kind of brain-burning movie is tiring to watch, and it is more suitable for watching on TV or computer. Even if it is finished, it is likely to be well received or not.

"There is still a little difference. This is actually a reincarnation over and over again. Although this type of movie is not easy to sell, it is because it is labeled as brain-burning from the beginning, which makes people discouraged!"

To be honest, movies like "Memento" have really low audiences, and they only took 2500 million yuan in box office in North America.

"I don't know if Director Han paid attention to the title of this film!" Tang An said, pointing to the four big characters above.

"Is this telling the audience that this is a horror movie?" Han Sanping understood after a little thought.

In comparison, although the audience of horror films is not as good as comedies and costume films, it is not too small, and it is suitable for both men and women.

"That's right, just looking at the title, it should be a bloody and violent horror movie. There is no shortage of audiences for this kind of movie. The success of "Shark Beach" is a good example!"

"As long as the audience is attracted to the cinema, the next step is to see the quality of the film. Even if they find out that it is a mind-blowing film, they will not regret it!" Tang An said confidently.

In fact, the conservative criticism of this film was the title. Many fans thought it was a classic film delayed by the title.

Tang An chose this film after considering it for a long time. The summer vacation is not the kind of schedule that bursts out for a while. The most important thing is to last. He will not be given a chance. If he falls behind at the beginning, it will be almost difficult to win back that row.

It is inevitable to make a horror film, so as to maximize the use of the reputation of the previous "Shark Beach". Stream, compete with a few summer movies.

If it were a low-budget comedy, the audience's first impression would be suspicion. A director of a horror film suddenly went to make a comedy, no matter how you think about it, it's unreliable!
"Since you have already decided, let's shoot according to your own ideas. I will ask someone to help you prepare for the crew!" Han Sanping said.

"Thank you Mr. Han, then please!"

"However, pay attention to the scale, and try not to appear too bloody scenes!"

"It should be avoided if it's too scary. There are a lot of students watching movies during the summer vacation, so pay attention to the impact!" Han Sanping urged.

"Don't worry about this, I have a measure!" Tang An nodded.

At this time, the country is only very strict on ideology, and it is unreasonable to die, but Tang An will also modify some scenes that are too exaggerated!
The goal has been achieved, Tang An then bid farewell and left China Film Group.

He didn't say clearly what characteristics of employees he needed, but with the professionalism of China Film Group, he wouldn't just bring a group of people to him.

Photography, lighting, art. Everyone has a different style.

The cinematographer of the movie "Horror Cruise" must be a photographer who is good at shooting micro expressions of characters, and then there must be a photographer who is good at full shots of characters.

If the lighting engineer brings in someone who has been shooting romance films all year round, and uses warm or even ambiguous colors throughout the story, it will ruin the whole movie.

After leaving China Film Group, Tang An took a taxi to the Capital International Airport, and Xu Manyun was on the flight this afternoon.

The plane wasn't late. After waiting at the exit for less than 10 minutes, I saw Xu Manyun walking out with a suitcase. Seeing Tang An who was waiting in the crowd, his eyes lit up and he strode towards him.

"coming!"

Tang An reached out to take the suitcase in her hand.

"Is the handover over there?"
