China Entertainment's performance is king

This is Chen Sicheng's trouble. Investors are anxious. They gave him money before Detective Chinatown was released. Looking at the current situation, there is no shortage of investment for the sequel of Detective Chinatown. It's really too late to get in. .

The film industry is like this. When there is a lack of investment, you need any money. But when you reach a certain status, you not only need money, but also the positive ability of the investors who invest the money to bring to the film, such as Baoqiang. , this movie wouldn’t work without him.

The investors were anxious, and Chen Sicheng was even more anxious. Baoqiang had already been bound, but Shen Lang hadn't yet. He definitely couldn't tell Shen Lang directly about signing a contract. He could only talk to Shen Lang about some ideas and plots about the sequel.

The problem arises here. In fact, Wanda Film and Television has already made a quotation to Xiaotao, but there has been no follow-up. Everyone knows that this is dissatisfaction.

She is definitely not satisfied. The current quotation is based on Shen Lang's normal quotation of 35 million. Xiaotao doesn't even need to ask Shen Lang, it will definitely not work.

Shen Lang actually knew something about it, but he didn't care. Although the movie had a good box office and reputation, and brought him a lot of points, if the treatment was not adequate, it would be impossible for him to participate in the sequel.

Because he is in the system and has points, he is not afraid of missing a movie that may be a hit at the box office. Besides, no one knows what impact the lack of a leading actor or a change of leading actors will have on the sequel. The risk is too great.

Just like Embarrassed in Hong Kong, although it was considered a big hit at the box office, many people think that if the character of Baby is Bao Qiang and cooperates with Xu Zheng, it would be normal for the box office to exceed 2 billion.

Shen Lang is not in a hurry at all. He has no shortage of projects anyway. In fact, Chen Sicheng and Wanda are also pretending to be stupid. They are just testing. What if Shen Lang accepts the project for only 35 million? Give it a try.

In fact, judging from the current situation, everyone knows that if Shen Lang is included in the sequel, his salary will not be lower. Part of the investment share must be given to Shen Lang, unless Shen Lang is stupid and doesn't like money.

However, this is also a negotiation, and it cannot be negotiated at once. This is a normal situation. It is actually difficult to imagine a situation like Shen Lang's investment in his own project very quickly.

Of course, it's also because among the people Shen Lang works with, he is the biggest, and the rest of them don't get high salaries and aren't that complicated. He doesn't choose who to work with.

It is also because many investors have guessed that there is a high probability that Shen Lang will have a share in the sequel, so they naturally want to negotiate in advance to secure their share first, even if it is smaller.

But I’m overthinking it. In the first part, some companies will be forced to take risks, and in the second part, many people will be eliminated.

The higher the box office, the more important Shen Lang is. Chen Sicheng can get the most accurate first-hand data. Shen Lang can promote the local box office market by himself. There are really a lot of people who go to the movies because of him. .

Bao Qiang is also very happy during this period. He doesn't have as many ideas as Chen Sicheng. As long as he makes money, he doesn't care about the investment in the sequel. He must have a share. If not, the big deal is that he won't make it.

As for the character of Tang Ren in the movie, there is basically no one in China who can replace Bao Qiang. He is lustful and lustful, and he would have been said to be greasy if he were a different person, but Bao Qiang is really tolerant among the audience.

These are all the stories behind the movie, and Shen Lang doesn't pay too much attention to them. Don't bother yourself.

Hey, you've done it well, isn't it a big problem? Naza said to Shen Lang.

Just wait and see how good my brother is. I may not be able to do other movies, but I've been thinking about our collaboration in Sewing Machine Band for a long time. Shen Lang said with a smile.

The director's ability book, which can be operated in a fool-like manner by turning on the phone with just a thought, makes being a director no longer a difficult task.

Okay, I'll watch.

…

Brother Yu, what do you think about the long shot of this scene? For lighting, use a split light and a rim light here. I'll just use a narrow light here. The filming started in the afternoon, and the crew began to talk to Shen Lang up and down. A bit of a change.

He is really not the kind of new director who waits for the executive director to make the film, but he is there to see this kind of new director who is not working and the effect is not right. Instead, he has his own set of ideas.

You don't care what the material he shot is like, but he really has his own ideas.

And many people discovered that Shen Lang was not just showing off. Things like contour light, narrow light, etc. were all terms, and he didn't just say them casually.

Of course, it was a mule or a horse, and it had to be pulled out for a ride. Others didn't know if he was talking nonsense. Anyway, only Shen Lang knew what the filming would look like, and the others were all assistants.

But Shen Lang himself was also the leading actor. When he was filming, the executive director helped to look at the scenes, and he discovered that Shen Lang's results were actually good.

I can't say how good the filming of Sewing Machine Band was in the previous life, but at least it was qualified. The director's ability book was able to guide Shen Lang in the shooting of Sewing Machine Band in the previous life.

Shen Lang didn't even need to look at the picture to know how to position people and how to light the scene. In fact, Shen Lang initially wondered if he could make a movie in two hours if he could do it all at once.

Okay, I think about it too much. Not to mention that the scenes are different and the shooting locations have to be changed frequently. Even the coordination between the various crews is also very troublesome. Even the performances of the actors cannot be done in one go.

That's right, in the director's ability book, in addition to the setting, there is also the actor's performance ability. Although the fool-like operation can let Shen Lang know what state the actors should be in at this time, but how can I put it, the actors themselves can't do it.

For example, at this moment, he is right, he talks about himself first when talking to others. The current guidance given by the director's ability book is to casually have a bit of a joke mentality, just like this fool, it tells him his status.

Okay, it’s not just a few seconds before you start laughing as you imagined. That situation may be more difficult. This is also normal. If you do it, the circle you stand in will turn green, but if you don’t, it will still be red.

It's not just him, but other actors are like this too. I tried it again just now, and only Amy, a little girl, has played.

Okay, originally the requirements for her performance were not high, just a blank expression. Teacher Han Tongsheng was a bit out of line with the director's ability book.

Of course, this does not mean that everyone acted wrongly. If the director had changed, the effect might have been better. However, Shen Lang wanted to film according to the original version. After all, it was a movie with a good reputation in his previous life.

Nazha, when you look at the male idol, be a little more careful. Shen Lang actually doesn't teach others how to act, but if he can't stand it, he can bring up the original version at any time.

Of course, the director's ability book also has flaws. It can guide some plots in the original version, but there must be other materials besides the plot, so there is nothing we can do about it.

But that's what the executive director does, and Shen Lang is already perfect enough. No matter how good the filming is, after half a day of shooting, everyone knows that Shen Lang has his own ideas, and it's not just about shouting.

Everyone's impression of him has changed a bit.
