The cross-border king of entertainment

Chapter 377 0377, Legendary Film and Television Company

Looking at Wang Defa and Ma Siyu, the two curious babies, Yunfeng repeated, "That's right, I wrote a script with the theme of music and love, and the second sister will play the heroine."

Wang Defa thought of a possibility and asked, "Waiting for coffee alone? You at the same table?"

Ma Siyu shook his head and analyzed: "No, the online drama and movie copyrights of "Waiting for a Coffee" and "You at the Same Table" have already been sold, so there is no reason to buy them back and make them yourself."

Yunfeng smiled and said, "It's a new story—"The Untold Secret."

Wang De sent a question mark on his head and said, "Secret? And you can't say it?"

Ma Siyu asked suspiciously, "Can't you tell us?"

Tang Yu on the side couldn't help laughing out loud after hearing what the two of them said, and said, "You got it wrong, it's not that I can't tell you, it's that the name of the story is 'The Untold Secret'."

Wang Defa and Ma Siyu said "oh", then laughed, confused.

"If you want to read the script, I'll send it to you later." Yunfeng immediately brought the topic back to the main topic, and said, "Now let's discuss the matter of starting a film and television investment company."

Wang Defa took over the conversation and said: "Except for the comics "Fengyun I, II, III" and the novel "The Legend of Yang Jian", the film and television drama copyrights of other comics and novels have been sold. However, the funds are abundant. Continue to purchase copyrights or The script is fine."

Ma Siyu interjected: "However, from the perspective of the company's internal structure, the film and television investment company has to be divided into, 1, [investment company] + [production company] + [other businesses], 2, [investment company] + [other businesses] ], these two types.”

After a pause, he continued: "The former is capable of film and television production, such as Penguin Films, Panda Films, Tianyi Films and other large film and television companies, the latter does not have complete production capabilities, but the business field will involve A company that selectively invests in film and television projects."

Wang Defa nodded and said: "That's right, compared to the simpler latter, the former will have a larger team, such as the filming team, which needs photographers, directors, prop artists, etc., and the film and television post-production team, which needs editors and special effects artists , compositor, etc., if you want to develop artists, you also need artist managers, artist assistants, etc.”

The two of them had done their homework a long time ago, and it finally came in handy today.

Yunfeng and Tang Yu didn't expect it to be so complicated, and they were all lost in thought.

Seeing this, Ma Siyu said: "Madman, how to choose the company's model mainly depends on where you are, investor, director, screenwriter, producer, actor, or all of them."

Wang Defa followed: "In different countries and regions, the production models of film and television dramas are also different. There are [screenwriter-centered system], [director-centered system], [actor-centered system] and [producer-centered system]."

Like Europe, America, Japan and South Korea, whether it is TV, animation, or movies, all the "centers" point to creativity. Directors and actors are all to realize the creativity of the screenwriter. It can be said that the screenwriter is the core and soul of the whole drama. , Not only the story depends on him, the script depends on him, but also the actor's dialogue.

The domestic production model is different. For example, a film producer first finds a director. When the director has an idea, he then finds a screenwriter to write the script. For example, a producer buys the copyright of a novel and hires a director to direct it. When I thought it was feasible, I found a screenwriter to adapt the novel into a script. For TV dramas, the screenwriter comes first, followed by the director. The producer first finds the screenwriter, and the screenwriter completes the script, and then finds the director to shoot.

Yunfeng said: "I don't consider other positions for the time being, just a screenwriter."

After finishing speaking, he added another sentence: "However, I must have absolute power, even higher than the director and actors."

Extensive revisions can indeed ruin a work.

But if the dialogue written by the screenwriter is inappropriate and the rhythm is inconsistent, it does need to be revised.

Whether it is on the blue star or on the earth.

No matter how good a screenwriter is, he must be mentally prepared to be rewritten.

Even in Hollywood, once the screenwriter sells the script to the producer, it means that the other party has absolute power to change the content of the script. After all, a movie requires the cooperation of everyone, and it is impossible for the director and actors to follow the script verbatim.

The point is that the film industry needs mature commercial films to be mass-produced, and mature commercial films require directors, screenwriters, and actors to perform their duties, and no one has much privilege.

Of course, this doesn't guarantee that the writer's creation and the director's shot are protected, and against big-name actors, actors can change the script beyond recognition.

However, after entering the new century, the production channels of domestic film and television dramas have become more and more complicated. Although the participation of many private enterprises has brought a hundred flowers in themes, there have been few breakthroughs in the production level. The pursuit of excellence has become the mainstream, and the importance of the story has been minimized. Coupled with the influx of hot money, actors have become more and more important, even surpassing directors, screenwriters, and producers.

If you're not comfortable with this, the screenwriter can be the director or producer himself, and then decide the direction of the movie in his own way.

Therefore, Yunfeng added a "absolute power", which is very important.

After listening, Ma Siyu suggested: "Then, we will choose the model of [Investment Company] + [Production Company] + [Other Business], so that we can control everything about filming and television dramas."

Speaking of this, his expression changed accordingly. He entered the pit from the novel "Zhu Xian" and met Yunfeng. It can be said that it is a very meaningful work, but after being photographed like this, he felt so angry and said: "The online drama "Zhu Xian" is a lesson learned from the past. A few traffickers and little fairies dominated the whole drama and ruined the whole drama."

Tang Yu did ask a question, saying: "Just now Dafa said that the team of this model is relatively large, and the investment in a film and television drama is not small. Do we have enough money?"

Hearing this, Wang Defa pondered for a moment, and said: "If it's just filming "The Unspeakable Secret", I personally don't think it is necessary to start a company. If it is to make money, it is better to use the model of [investment company] + [other businesses] .”

At this time, everyone looked at Yunfeng, and the final decision on this matter rested with him.

Compared with writing songs, writing novels and drawing comics, it seems a bit complicated and troublesome.

Both Ma Siyu and Wang Defa's suggestions are reasonable.

Yunfeng stroked his chin.

As far as the current plan is concerned, there are Fengyun series of film and television dramas, "Biography" series of film and television dramas, and "The Unspeakable Secret". Later, there will be other novels such as "Tomb of God", "Detective Conan", "The Spirit of Food", etc. Film and television dramas adapted from comics, as well as some film and television dramas on the earth in the previous life in memory, but in terms of scripts and actors, they must have the right to decide.

After he thought about it, he said: "According to what the old horse said, as for the money..."

Before he finished speaking, Ma Siyu rushed to talk: "This bag is on me, I can get a sum of [-] million to [-] million funds from my dad, which can be used for joint stock companies, and can also be used to invest in film and television dramas. "

He chuckled and continued: "My father and mother are very optimistic about lunatics."

Yunfeng was startled, pointed to himself and said, "Uncle and aunt are very fond of me?"

"Yes." Ma Siyu nodded, then put on an old-fashioned look, and said: "They said, since I don't want to take over the family's farm, I should hang out with you and don't go to bars and nightclubs all day long."

This guy……

The tens of billions of family business, if you say no, you really don't want it.

It's not that he dislikes this industry, nor is it troublesome, but that Ma Siyu has his own pursuit and dream.

and.

When Wang Defa heard that there were [-] million to [-] million capital injections, he basically had no problem, and said, "I will start preparing to register the company and recruit people next week. What is the name of the company?"

Yunfeng only knows how to combine surnames, but this time the founders are four people. No matter how you mix Yun, Tang, Wang, and Ma, it doesn't seem to sound good, so he suggested: "How about continuing to use the 'Legend' The name?"

Wang Defa said: "I agree."

Ma Siyu said: "I also agree."

Tang Yu said: "I have no objection."

In this way, Legendary Film and Television Company was established.

In the senior year, there will be less homework, and what will be faced is job hunting, postgraduate entrance examinations, and graduation thesis.

For Yunfeng and others, these are not problems, and they are relatively relaxed.

Therefore, all my thoughts were devoted to the preparation of the movie "The Unspeakable Secret".

Although Yunfeng doesn't direct or act, he is the one who finished the script and has to lead the whole play.

Furthermore, the filming of "The Unspeakable Secret" was not just for fun, but to make money and praise Yunyun.

Well, the first thing to do is to understand the market.

Love, an eternal topic.

Judging from the development of genre films worldwide, romance films belong to the relatively precocious genre.

but.

Due to the relatively well-developed story formula of romance films, the obvious conventional characteristics of the characters, and the many classics that are difficult to surpass, etc., it is difficult to shoot this theme in the whole world.

Analyze by type.

Action movies use exciting images to make the audience's adrenaline soar.

Comedy movies use humorous lines and exaggerated actions to poke the audience's laughter.

Thriller or suspense movies drive the audience to engage in brain-burning exercises through exquisite story structures and complex narrative logic.

However, when it comes to love movies, it becomes complicated. Because love is too personal, everyone has experienced it, but it is different. Therefore, the individual differences of the audience lead to the desire to shoot the love that most people like. Movies become even more difficult.

As a result, there have been various romance movies mixed with love elements, such as sci-fi romance movies, war romance movies, martial arts romance movies, etc., making the already shaky romance movie market even worse.

"There are challenges."

When Yunfeng learned about it, he realized that making a film, making a well-received and well-received film, is not an easy task.

then.

He went to the movie circle again to check the current direction of the wind.

Just click into a post on the top of the homepage.

The host is a well-known director in the industry and has written thousands of words.

"What are you looking at?" Tang Yu came out of the shower with wet hair.

Yunfeng put down the tablet, and while helping her brush her hair, he said, "There is a director who blames the bad box office of domestic romance movies on the fact that domestic audiences don't like to watch romance movies."

Tang Yu laughed and said: "This is a bit of nonsense, can this also throw the blame on the audience?"

In the domestic film and television drama market, most directors and producers do not pay much attention to the love part. They are almost used to add drama to related households, or to delay time, etc., which makes the love scenes in film and television dramas either extremely awkward or extremely awkward. Very tasteless.

If you don't respect the audience, how can you get their likes?
Yunfeng didn't bother to comment on this matter, so he changed the topic and said, "The director has decided, Huang Hai."

Tang Yu asked: "The director of "Tiger Rose"?"

Yunfeng replied: "Well, it's him."

The film and television production team of Legendary Film and Television Company has been formed, and the selection of directors and actors has begun.

In the list of directors given by the producer, Huang Hai is the only one who is not the main director of making love movies, and he is still the least famous. However, the method of shooting movies and his understanding of movies are more in line with Yunfeng's requirements.

Tang Yu asked again: "What about the male protagonist's actor?"

Yunfeng replied: "There are several candidates. I will go to Hangzhou tomorrow to discuss with them."

He wanted absolute power, but he didn't just say what he said, and he would listen to reasonable opinions.

The next day, Yunfeng came to Legend Film and Television Company.

"Mr. Yun." Producer Jiang Yong came to the office, and immediately introduced the middle-aged man behind, "This is director Huang Hai."

"Hello." Yunfeng greeted politely, and said politely: "I have long admired your name."

Huang Hai smiled slightly, and said, "Mr. Yun is polite."

Although the two have never met before, they are no strangers to each other. It can be regarded as an indirect collaboration. "Tiger and Rose" can become the box office champion of love movies in domestic film history. Yunfeng's "Because of Love" and "If You Forget" have great credit.

Huang Hai is not surprised by Yunfeng's entry into the film and television drama industry, crossover is synonymous with Yunfeng.

As for absolute power, he didn't care too much, as long as the money was enough, it would be fine for him to be the director.

After negotiating the price and other related matters, the two parties signed the contract on the spot.

"This is the script, Director Huang has a look." Jiang Yong handed a folder to Huang Hai.

"Okay." Huang Hai took the folder, opened the first page, and was taken aback for a moment.

This script is very special, it is text + pictures.

He thought to himself, since Yunfeng has the identity of a manga author, it is normal to draw some situations.

So, continue to look down.

However, the more you look at it, the more wrong it is.

This is not a simple situational comic, but a storyboard script!

He glanced at Yunfeng, with a little more admiration in his eyes.

Because comic storyboards are different from movie storyboards.

First of all, the movie screen is moving, and it is accompanied by sound effects, colors, and even real actors. The purpose is to give you more sensory stimulation and give you a sense of immersive reality. On the other hand, comics are "simple" and laborious. Many, still pictures, turning pages by themselves, without sound, cannot be compared with the "reality" of movies.

Secondly, the pictures of movies appear one after another over time, the size of the screen remains the same, and each independent shot is similar to the composition of a painting, while comics appear on the page in multiple frames at once, and Each grid has different sizes and some shapes.

Therefore, judging from the movie storyboards drawn by Yunfeng, it shows that he has studied and has reached a professional level.

When Jiang Yong saw this script, he was as surprised as Huang Hai. He had been in the industry for more than ten years, and he had never seen or heard of it. Any screenwriter wrote a script like this, and he did the director's job.

At this time, Yunfeng was looking at the information about the actors and actresses selected by Jiang Yong.
