The Rise of the Big Name of the Longing Life

Chapter 806 Everything Is a Routine

Audiences can only watch a blockbuster movie for up to three hours, but the preparation work required to make a movie is staggeringly terrifying.

When it comes to film production, we must first mention a concept: Development hell, which must be experienced in the early stage.

A film project has to go through a very lengthy process from the conception to the initial formation, which is also a maddening process.

If there is no firm belief and full patience, it is certain that you will not be able to persevere, or even survive.

Li Haoran is undoubtedly going through this painful process...

The operation of the two huge crews made him have to consider many things. Every detail must be precise, layer by layer, one link after another, and many brain cells must be killed.

For example, the story structure, character creation, plot setting, etc., all these racked their brains and finally completed the script. Don't be too happy, the life of the time traveler is far from smooth.

That is called the first draft at most, and then it will go through revised version 1, revised version 2...modified version N, and finally after the approval of several investors, it finally has a qualitative leap: the final version.

In addition, there is a big problem, the preparatory work of the film.

When the investment is obtained, you have to start preparing for the shooting, choose the right actors, and finalize their prices and schedules; choose the shooting location, finalize the location; call all the staff, assistant director, art director, camera, field workers, etc.; The creation of sub-fields, etc.

In short, in order to ensure nothing goes wrong, we must make preparations for everything we can and should do, so that we can complete this work unswervingly.

If the production team is compared to a precise machine, Li Haoran used to be just a certain bright and shiny part, but now he has become a maintenance worker, and he needs to consider the overall situation.

"I have to find some talents to help me share my worries. It's too difficult. I hope I don't lose my hair when I'm thirty! ¨〃!"

With a sigh of emotion, Li Haoran regained his spirits, opened the Word file, and slender ten fingers fluttered on the keyboard, typing the reply to CCTV and the naval leaders.

[To all the distinguished leaders, among the eight unemployed directors you recommended, I hope to choose director Lam Chiu-hsien from Hong Kong Island.

It cannot but be said that the subject matter of "OPERATION RED SEA" is sensitive. It shows that Chinese soldiers are fighting fiercely on foreign soil. Zhang Yang said that the actual situation is not as aggressive as shown in the movie.

This kind of imagination of war and bloodthirsty is absolutely not seen in Chinese movies in the past.

If such an idea is expressed by a Chinese director, it will bring an additional association, because the identity of a Chinese director will be endowed with a reflection of national ideology.

Obviously, "Operation Red Sea" is just a movie, and the association brought by the Chinese director is not the original intention of making this movie.

In this way, the identities of a Chinese screenwriter and a Hong Kong director set the tone of this movie very well.

"Operation Red Sea" is positioned as a commercial film. The director of Hong Kong Island has been struggling in the commercial film market, cleverly avoiding speculation about the values ​​​​that may be imposed on him, but expressing his position in a tortuous way, from In this sense, Lin Chaoxian is indeed the most suitable candidate for the filming of "Operation Red Sea".

"Operation Red Sea" is positioned as a commercial film. The director of Hong Kong Island has been struggling in the commercial film market, cleverly avoiding speculation about the values ​​​​that may be imposed on him, but expressing his position in a tortuous way, from In this sense, Lin Chaoxian is indeed the most suitable candidate for the filming of "Operation Red Sea".

Another point is that Lin Chaoxian is not as famous as Xu Ke and Wu Yusen, so it is difficult to change their strings and change their ruts.

Lin himself has always followed the path of police and gangster films in the filming of Hong Kong Island films, but Hong Kong Island films cannot provide him with a sense of family and country.

Therefore, in addition to playing with visual effects, Lin Chaoxian's police films can only dig into the depths of the policeman's heart, but this kind of excavation is not the same as the profundity of European and American movies. Dead chess.

And the grand battle perspective of "Operation Red Sea" will definitely activate Lin Chaoxian's potential energy, forcing him to show his best skills again, and enlarge the small gunfight movies in Hong Kong movies into a big scene that is almost a local war.

The weakness of the literary drama in the movie is because Lin Chaoxian is unfamiliar with the connotation other than the gunfight in the subject of his shooting, and "Operation Red Sea" cannot be stuffed with a more complete national concept.

I hope to omit the evaluation of the meaning of the war beyond the boundaries of the evacuation of overseas Chinese. Let Lin Chaoxian bear all the good and bad of all this!

What "Operation Red Sea" needs is to reflect China's military strength and the spiritual temperament attached to it in a tortuous way. Lin Chaoxian is the most appropriate and most suitable person to convey this idea. 】

After typing this paragraph, Li Haoran took a deep breath and stopped, checked carefully twice and chose to send.

Don't think that Li Haoran really chose Lin Chaoxian. In fact, the leader chose Lin Chaoxian. He just repeated what Cui Yan told him in words.

For example, in the movie "Operation Mekong", Lin Chaoxian adopted a simplistic approach to a sensitive transnational case involving national relations, exaggerating the visual effects of the hot gun battle and weakening the revealing of the truth.

The Ministry of Public Security also needs Lin Chaoxian's handling and operation. The biggest advantage of this is that it can avoid secrets that cannot be announced.

In particular, the identity of the director of Hong Kong Island can be used as a buffer, which can make some hints in the film of what the filmmaker wants to express, but it will not form a certain clear direction.

For example, in this film, it has been hinted that there is a more hidden boss behind the culprit at the front desk. Who is this boss, but the movie does not explain it. This is obviously not the ambiguous ending that a detective film should have.

(Good thing) "Operation Red Sea" is the same, everything is a routine, just need to go through a process, Li Haoran is the "promoter" of this process.

Although it is very helpless, this is the strange appearance culture derived from the system. If you want to make profits in it, you must respect this culture.

Lin Chaoxian was chosen as the director, and Li Haoran wrote Zhang Yi's name in the column of the actor Yang Rui.

Even if he was reborn, he always felt that Zhang Yi was very suitable for this role.

The number one female reporter, Xia Nan, was originally played by the national daughter-in-law Hai Qing in her previous life. After thinking for a while, Li Haoran wrote the name of his girlfriend Zhao Liying.

The impact of the ".‖Red Mansion Gate" incident made Yingbao very passive. The black fans were black and black, and the people who didn't know the facts followed the crowd. She urgently needed to prove herself with a work.

If "Operation Red Sea" can achieve the results of "Wolf Warrior 2", Zhao Liying will be awesome! .

Chapter 807 Shrewd Jack Ma

The next day, Xuanyaju.

After drinking for three rounds and eating five flavors, Jack Ma put down his teacup and said in a funny voice, "Haoran, what do you mean... want to invest in Alibaba Pictures?"

"good."

Li Haoran nodded and looked at Ma Yun opposite.

The original intention of today's invitation is for this, there is no need to hide it, and he doesn't have much capital to hide it, the best choice is to be open and honest.

Seeing this, Ma Yun showed a characteristic smile, applauded and said: "Welcome, welcome, I have always wanted to pull Haoran into the same camp. I wanted to have a deep chat with you at the beginning of the year. I didn't know that so many things happened. I didn't expect In the end, you and our fellow countrymen still came together..."

"Having money can make Mo Tui ghosts, weighing the pros and cons, I still think Ali is more suitable for me than Tong Xun, at least the relationship with fellow villagers can't trick me, right?"

"Hahaha... How could it be possible to cheat you, boy, yo! Ma Huateng also contacted you, that's right, Penguin Pictures has been accelerating its expansion recently, and it makes sense to invite you."

"The Penguin Group plans to take the variety show route. They have taken a fancy to my ability to plan 417 variety shows. The salary is really good, but film production is king. When I heard that Mr. Ma is focusing on the film industry, I recommended myself here."

"Ali does plan to take the route of high-quality film production, but it is not impossible to do variety show production as a sideline business. If Haoran becomes a shareholder of Ali, can you hide this one?"

"Of course, the cooperation must be frank. Since I want to invest in Ali, I must use my best skills, and planning variety shows is also one of them."

The two of you came and I talked a lot of 'nonsense', Ma Yun finally turned the topic on the right track, and asked: "Hao Ran, since you want to buy shares, how do you plan to buy shares? How much is the investment?"

Sitting up straight, Li Haoran said to himself: "I know that Ali is not short of money, but my money is not enough, Mr. Ma, you are stuck between your teeth, let's put it this way!"

After a pause, he pointed to his head, and continued with Ma Yun's attentive expression: "If Mr. Ma can trust me and give me a chance to display my talents, I can let go of my rhetoric and definitely bring Alibaba Pictures to China within two years. Five levels."

Raising eyebrows (bjaf), Ma Yun asked back: "Two years?"

Zheng nodded, and Li Haoran said: "It can be written into the contract. If Ali's profit cannot match that of Wanda, Guangguang, and Huayi Brothers in two years, I will withdraw from Ali unconditionally, and I will not receive any payment."

Ma Yun's calm expression finally became interesting, and he said with a smile: "It seems that Haoran is very confident, how many shares do you want?"

Putting up three fingers, Li Haoran said with no refusal: "Thirty percent, and I hope it will never change [-] percent of the shares."

After being stunned for a while, Ma Yun laughed, shook his head and said, "It's impossible, absolutely impossible, Haoran, do you know how much Ali paid for Yingzheng Entertainment?"

"According to the market price, it should float between 60 billion."

The smile on his face was even brighter. Ma Yun shook his finger and broke the news: "Yes, 62.4 billion yuan, and an additional 20 billion yuan will be added at the end of the year. Next year, at least 60 billion yuan will be invested in the middle and lower reaches of the industry. More, Haoran, how much right do you think I have to give you more than 142 billion for nothing?"

The smile on his face was even brighter. Ma Yun shook his finger and broke the news: "Yes, 62.4 billion yuan, and an additional 20 billion yuan will be added at the end of the year. Next year, at least 60 billion yuan will be invested in the middle and lower reaches of the industry. More, Haoran, how much right do you think I have to give you more than 142 billion for nothing?"

Without waiting for Li Haoran to answer, Ma Yun continued: "You must know that I hold less than [-]% of the shares of Ali, and the shares of Ali Pictures are even less pitiful. With so many directors watching from behind, I have so much power. ?”

With a calm smile, Li Haoran's posture was straight and his eyes were sharp and said: "It depends on Mr. Ma whether you dare to bet this time."

Ma Yun is a businessman who is very good at arguing, and immediately retorted: "Business must be a gamble on opportunities, but now Alibaba has passed the stage of gamble, and winning in stability is the kingly way."

"Is that so..." Li Haoran whispered.

Lifting his teacup and taking a sip, Jack Ma took advantage of the victory and chased after him: "One more thing, Haoran, you are indeed a gold foil. All of us are looking forward to the talent you show, but..."

Li Haoran replied instead of him: "But it's still not qualified to sit on the floor like you guys, is it?"

Without denying or admitting, facing Li Haoran's calm eyes, Ma Yun said with a smile: "First, although you have sold several scripts at a high price, none of them has stood the test of the market so far, isn't it still filming? It’s just in preparation.”

Put up two fingers: "Second, the only program you plan independently is "Tucao Conference". Qian Jing is very good, otherwise I would not spend 10 billion yuan to buy the naming rights. "The bargaining chip is still too small."

Li Haoran nodded, and Ma Yun leaned forward and said, "Haoran, I am very confident, and I also have this ability. I believe that with the support of Alibaba's strong gold dollars, Alibaba Pictures will definitely be able to enter the top five."

"After entering the top five, 42% of Ali Pictures' shares will not exceed 142 billion. In the future, it may be 420 billion or [-] billion. You demand that the shares never change. This is not in line with market laws, and it is too difficult for others. I Can't convince the board of directors at all!"

"According to what Mr. Ma said, it is indeed difficult for others to be strong."

After being despised for so long, Li Haoran didn't show any signs of youthful vigor and rebellion, but instead laughed.

There is absolutely no pretense, Li Haoran's mentality is really calm, he knew Ma Yun's strength from the beginning, and he knew that thinking of "empty glove white wolf" is tantamount to nonsense.

Today's "failure" has long been expected, but it is only the first step in a long negotiation, so why should we become angry?

And his self-confidence made Jack Ma's heart skip a beat, and he began to analyze and think like lightning: "This kid came prepared, what confidence does he have to be so calm?"

It's a pity, how can it be easy to gain insight into the general trend in the future? Ren Mayun couldn't think of a reason for it. He couldn't figure out where Li Haoran's confidence came from?

Staring at Ma Yun's calm face with deep eyes, Li Haoran smiled and said, "I know Mr. Ma doesn't want to take risks, because I really haven't made any achievements in the film field, and all my self-confidence is just talk on paper."

Ma Yun listened silently——

Li Haoran smiled more confidently, blinked and said: "But Mr. Ma, when I really prove my worth, you will pay another price if you want to recruit me again?"

"You are really confident!".

Chapter 808 One Billion Huge Money

Not only Ma Yun felt that Li Haoran was extremely confident, but Cai Chongxin, executive vice chairman of Alibaba who accompanied him, also felt that Li Haoran was too confident.

In Cai Chongxin's view, this is not self-confidence, it is simply wishful thinking!

At the beginning of the year, Alibaba planned to establish Ali Pictures. After many days of analysis, the think tank at the headquarters finally formulated a future development plan and made preparations for the first two years.

Fortunately, Li Haoran threatened to enter the top five ranks within two years and become the leader in the Chinese film industry. He dared to ask for [-]% of the fixed shares. He was crazy about money!

Of course, this is not the most important point. The point is that the CEO of Ali Pictures is his old cousin Yu Yongfu. If the company develops according to Li Haoran's plan, what status does his old cousin have?

When any group develops to a bottleneck period, it will inevitably go to the road of fighting for power and profit, and Alibaba is also unavoidable. The power struggle has reached a very serious level.

If it wasn't for the suppression of the spiritual leader Jack Ma, who is qualified to control this ocean-going ship, and who has the ability to make Alibaba develop better and better?

Fortunately, Ma Yun still has many years to live, and various pioneering methods have also kept Alibaba in a period of slow rise, so that there will be no internal fighting.
