Entertainment: God-level director

The next afternoon.

After Lin Ran returned to the capital, he went directly to Ranmeng Pictures.

As soon as he arrived at the company, he called Zhao Hongfei to his office

“Lao Zhao, do you have any ideas for the new script? Lin

Ran asked with a smile.

《”Flash Girl” achieved a box office of nearly 600 million in a not-so-good period, which is considered very successful.

Now that Zhao Hongfei has proven himself, Lin Ran is ready to reuse him.

This is also part of Lin Ran’s plan to cultivate a large number of potential new directors.

There was no way, there were too many good stories in his mind, and he couldn’t finish filming them even if he died.

Therefore, it is imperative to cultivate potential new directors. This not only allows these directors to make money for themselves, but also contributes to the domestic film and television industry.

Despite the tens of billions in box office revenue now, in fact domestic mature commercial film directors are still very scarce. Just look at how many Xiangjiang Wanwan directors are prospering in mainland China.

Just like in the previous life in 2019,”The Climber” produced by Shanghai Film Group Corporation was a blockbuster with the theme of celebrating the 70th anniversary of the founding of the People’s Republic of China. It turned out that Shanghai Film Group’s first choice was Mr. Xu.

After hearing that the time from planning to release was less than a year, Mr. Xu refused directly. In the end, Ren Zhonglun approached Xiangjiang director Li Rengang.

Who doesn’t know that Director Xiangjiang is quite petty and has difficulty understanding the historical significance of”The Climber”.

But why does Boss Ren still insist on using Li Rengang?

In addition to previous cooperation between the two parties, a very important reason is that there are not so many mature commercial film directors in China to choose from. Under the constraints of limited time and limited funds, Li Rengang may already be the most suitable director.

If there is a director like James Wan in China who is both awesome and special in saving money for investors, see if Boss Ren will use him.

In domestic film and television schools, commercial films are still looked down upon, let alone students with a blank slate.

Even a person of Xu Zheng’s level said in a program that he was very eager to cooperate with the artistic film director Lou Ye, and then expressed aggrievedly that he was afraid that Lou Ye would look down on him because he was too commercial.

“Director Lin, I particularly like detective stories. I have watched Conan and Sherlock Holmes since I was a child, so I am planning to write a detective story, and I am still improving the outline.”

Zhao Hongfei said

“Detective story? Lin

Ran’s heart suddenly moved, and he said with a smile:”Old Zhao, have you ever thought about putting this detective story in Chinatown abroad?””

“Put it in a foreign Chinatown?”

Zhao Hongfei was stunned. He really hadn’t thought about this. He couldn’t help but look at Lin Ran with confusion.

“First of all, by setting the setting in Chinatown abroad, multiple sequels can be easily developed, like”囧囧”. Later,”囧囧” and”囧囧” were released. I heard that the next one will go to Russia to film”囧囧”.

The same is true here. We can set the background of the first film in Taiguo Chinatown, the next one in New York Chinatown, the next one in Tokyo Chinatown, and so on.

Second, if the story is set in Chinatown abroad, there will be fewer restrictions, and there will be more room for story expansion. Some local characteristic elements can be added to each movie, which will attract more audiences. Lin

Ran said with a smile.

“Wonderful! The more Zhao

Hongfei listened, the brighter his eyes became. He gave Lin Ran a thumbs-up gesture and said with admiration:”This idea is much better than I thought before. No wonder Director Lin, you always sell well.” Movie”

“I also thought of it based on Xu Zheng’s”囧” series.”

Lin Ran randomly made an excuse.

“This shows that Director Lin, your thinking is very active. Just like”The Gunslinger” and”The God of Medicine”, they are both real-life cases, but only you discovered and photographed them. This is your greatness.”

“Haha, Lao Zhao, please stop flattering me. Lin

Ran smiled and waved his hand.

“Hey, I’m telling the truth, not flattery.”

Zhao Hongfei chuckled.

Lin Ran smiled and stopped worrying about this topic. He continued:”The most popular movies in China now are either special effects blockbusters or comedies.

If it is a detective mystery genre, the upper limit is particularly low. Even”The Master of Hypnosis” is less than 300 million.

Therefore, although it is called a detective movie, it must not be made into a particularly brain-burning detective movie. Instead, it must be combined with comedy elements and made into a comedy detective movie.”

In the previous life,”Tang Detective 1″ had a very good reputation, but it only had a box office of 800 million. The box office of

“Tang Detective 2” suddenly soared to more than 3.3 billion, and the box office quadrupled.

The reason is besides the good reputation of the first film In addition to the bonus, Tang Detective 2 has less suspense and brain-burning plots and more funny plots, allowing the audience to watch the movie in a very relaxed state.

“Director Lin, you are right.”

Zhao Hongfei nodded with deep understanding.

Next, Lin Ran briefly talked about the plot of Tang Detective 1. As for the detailed script, Lin Ran will not come out directly. Zhao Hongfei can sign a contract with Ranmeng Pictures by then. The screenwriting team filled in and improved it.

Of course, in order to ensure the quality, Lin Ran had to read the script again after it was completed. After the discussion, Zhao Hongfei couldn’t wait to go back to write the script, and Lin Ran checked the storyboard script of”Super Body”.

Because I had to direct”The Return of the Clown” before.》，《The storyboard script for”Super Body” was handed over to other storyboard artists to draw.

“This storyboard artist is good at painting.”

When he opened the storyboard script, Lin Ran’s first reaction was that it could be read as a comic.

Both the characters and other scene props were drawn very realistically, showing a strong artistry.

However, Lin Ran couldn’t read it for more than five minutes. His brows furrowed.

Storyboards, also called storyboards, refer to a movie that uses diagrams to illustrate the composition of the image before the actual shooting, and breaks down the continuous pictures into units of one shot. Therefore, the storyboard script The camera movement method needs to be marked to explain how a scene will be composed, what proportion of the characters will be included in the shot to form the composition, what actions they will make, what angle the camera will cut in or out from, how the camera itself will move, how long the recording will take, etc. Etc.

If there are special effects shots, they must be marked in advance to facilitate the production by the special effects company later. The reason why Lin Ran frowned was that the storyboard artist had problems with many of the camera movements. You must know that Lin Ran can The storyboard artist was not only given a script, but also detailed text shots. It was equivalent to describing how to draw the storyboard in words, but unexpectedly, even so, the storyboard artist still had many problems.

“No matter how busy I am in the future, I’ll just draw it myself.”

Lin Ran sighed, and finally had to make modifications one by one.

After spending almost a week to complete the storyboard script, Lin Ran held several meetings with the creative team to determine the shooting schedule, and finally flew to Hong Kong and the United States in person. Go and see the scene.

In the original version, the story background of”Super Body” first took place in Wanwan, but because the filming procedures were difficult to handle, Lin Ran put the background in Xiangjiang. After waiting for another half month, all the main actors’ schedules After everything is freed up,”Super Body” can finally be officially launched.
