Entertainment starting from 1 yuan

Chapter 256 Discussion

After Liu Xunzimo went back, he didn't hesitate for a long time, and he fully accepted the conditions proposed by Han Sheng.

Because first of all, after he went back and thought about these conditions carefully, it did not have a great impact on his overall creative outline, including some commercialization, which was within an acceptable range.

And compared to the conditions proposed by other investment companies before, there are very few.

Then there is the reputation of Dongsheng Culture.

Yes, now Dongsheng Culture has also made several films, and has cooperated with many companies, so the word-of-mouth in the circle has also come out.

It is notoriously serious about making movies. In the early stage, it was very strict in many aspects, but after the filming started, it maintained a very respectful attitude towards the director and creation.So the cooperation was difficult to get right at the beginning, but after getting it done, the shooting was very comfortable.

This is especially true for new directors.

After Jia Ling finished filming her new movie, she also praised Dongsheng Culture's professional and strong team every time she met, which made her feel a little wasteful and a little embarrassed.

And Liu Xunzimo's mind turned, ah.

Now that the first project to resume work has started, is it his turn to be the best team?

Thinking about the time when I went to talk about the project, I saw a big group of bosses outside - I feel that if there is no other drama, this time my lineup will be even more luxurious than before
Wow, I get excited just thinking about it!
So it didn't take long before the two sides reached a preliminary intention.

Soon Dongsheng Culture also came out with related adjustments, one of which is very important: increasing the shooting budget.

"Sometimes the texture of the movie is best when it needs the cooperation of on-site art, props, lighting, etc., and it's somewhat lacking in meaning to rely on post-production."

Han Sheng's voice on the other end of the phone was very leisurely: "Don't worry, we have considered all these things, including the imagination you mentioned that Zheng Qianli should have more commercial plots, right? That scene like "King Kong" appeared, it There's a lot of planes and stuff around one building.

This is indeed a miracle. It is very expensive to do normally and it is impossible to do it for a long time.But when we were working on "The Wandering Earth" before, we had some acquaintances with the special effects company, and we had some advantages in terms of price.Therefore, we can meet your requirements, but you have to give a more specific design that satisfies us, not just fantasy. "

"Of course, of course, it is necessary!" Liu Xunzimo was on the other end of the phone at that time, and he was so happy that he flew up.

It can be said that I have been a director for so many years.

I have always heard that budgets, projects, and investments have been cut. I haven’t seen Dongsheng Culture, so I added it:

Because first of all, the adjusted budget provided by the company is about 20.00% lower than what he originally made.The reason is actually very simple. Large companies have channels, and the prices they get cannot be compared to them.

What is more surprising is that Dongsheng Culture actually marked it out directly, saying that you can use the saved money to do other things.

Even to include the later spectacle, the entire budget was added 1000 million.

In fact, if there is no money added later, Liu Xunzimo knows that he will definitely be able to finish the filming as much as possible, and the effect can reach 90.00%.But after all, it is a script carefully prepared by myself, and I must strive for the best.

Now of course it is perfect.

The things I expected have been satisfied to the extent possible, so I quickly set a date to come and sign the contract.

But what surprised him even more happened later, that is, the company started preparations and operations at an extremely fast speed, without any signs of fatigue when work had just resumed, and was very lively.

Liu Xunzimo was amazed at first, thinking that Wanhe Tianyi was like this in the early days.

Full of life.

Everyone works for good ideas, creativity, and dreams, not just for salary, and they are much more motivated to work than employees in a normal company.

Dongsheng Culture has been around for so many years, it is not easy to do this
Then, he suddenly realized the significance of the talents brought in, heard about last year's year-end bonus, and saw the boss's own control over the company: Well, that's understandable.

In the afternoon, a private restaurant.

The path under the shade of lush trees is paved with large and small pebbles, which have just been washed by the fountain, exuding a soft brilliance.Even though it has not welcomed guests for several months, these few months are just a period of insignificant days it has experienced
It's just that it was a bit too long for Han Sheng.

Even if he has prepared ahead of others and stored a lot of food.

But some things are just incomparable with fresh ones; some tastes are still delicious made by professionals.

Yes, Han Sheng finally couldn't bear to come out to look for food.The weather was just right, he simply wore a T-shirt and cropped pants, lay on a bench in the shade, and waited for the meal with peace of mind.

This time Gu Yue has already gone out to film a movie, and went there with great joy.

Han Sheng had a dark face at the time, but he also knew that Gu Yue was different from an otaku like himself. He could stay at home all the time when he was not filming, read novels and movies, browse Douyin and Zhihu, and then go to other places. Great forum to browse.

Gu Yue is still more used to the life of filming, and if there is no continuous drama broadcast at her age, it is easy for the follow-up popularity to not continue, and she will feel flustered in her heart.

In addition, she didn't want to stop working, so Han Sheng understood.

So this time he came with the team.

It's no surprise that with his character, this meeting brought up work again:

"Director Zimo is here, and there is nothing wrong with him."

"Okay, then let him sign the contract after checking the contract."

Han Sheng nodded: "I guess he'll still be there for a while. By then, I'll be here after dinner."

The important things have been done before, and this signing is both important and unimportant.

The important reason is that everything that has been talked about must be implemented in writing and signed, otherwise it will be nothing before, and there will be no provisions to refer to in the various actions after that; Just need to confirm.

Han Sheng can accompany you to chat about things, but to confirm this kind of thing
There are so many people in the company, not just to watch a show.

So he continued to eat this delicious meal contentedly, sighed, and set off reluctantly.

"Boss Han!"

And when Han Sheng came over, Liu Xunzimo's side had almost read the contract and was sure there was no problem.

"Well, it's okay, you don't need to stand up."

Han Sheng smiled and walked over, picked up the contract, and went through it quickly.He is still a relatively cautious person, and he likes multiple insurances in everything.He just turned around and laughed: "In the future, there will be more connections with the company, so it's not okay to be so nervous all the time.

And this project is not big, if you really want to do a big project in the future, I'm afraid you will be more nervous. "

"No, no, this investment is not small."

Liu Xunzimo waved his hand, and hurriedly said, "Every time I see Mr. Han, I always feel a little nervous."

"Really? Haha, well, then I guess you don't have to be too nervous when you are preparing for a new play recently." Han Sheng laughed.

This made Liu Xunzimo dumbfounded: "Ah, no, Mr. Han, I didn't mean that, I was."

"Hey, nervous again, I know you don't mean that."

Only then did Han Sheng click his tongue, and sighed again: "I mean, there have been a lot of things going on in "Changjin Lake" recently, and I guess I will have a lot of energy to go there."

Yes, almost a month in advance, the leading actors are about to fully enter the final preparations.

After all, the investment of more than one billion will cost billions of dollars. No matter who plays it, he will not be sloppy, let alone Han Sheng himself invested in this movie.

So Han Sheng naturally cooperated with the crew and began to step into the process.

Including Han Sheng who sighed after eating before, it was also because of such a good day of eating and drinking, and it would take another three days at most before it would be gone.

The character Wu Wanli in "Changjin Lake" is a somewhat unscrupulous rural kid whose family conditions are quite poor.So with Han Sheng's current conditions, he will start preparing to lose weight next.

It is not enough to lose weight, but also to have a tan. There are very few children who grow up on fishing boats who are not tanned.

And a bunch of stuff.
Of course, the most important and most iconic thing is that the other actors finally got the complete script.

This is indeed the case. Before the filming started, Wu Jing and Han Sheng seemed to have obtained the complete script.

Nothing else.

Mainly because the confidentiality level of this project is too high and too important.Even if it is a partially processed script based on the real situation of history, it is not until this time that the actors can reveal the secret:

There are even some crews that are more secretive, covering the script too tightly, and many actors do not know the full version of the script after filming.

Of course, this situation does not exist in "Changjin Lake", because after much thought, the crew still believed that only by allowing the actors to understand the story as a whole can they have a better performance.

Of course, the scripts have been sent out, so it's almost time to get together.

Discuss and discuss, run-in and run-in.

This thing is not static. Before and after the shooting starts, the script will be constantly revised and refurbished under normal circumstances.It's just that if there are no unexpected situations, there will be no major renovations and redoing.

However, after the actors contact the book, they can make appropriate comments, which can naturally be modified.

Time flies to July 7, the capital.

All the main creators of the crew gathered for the first time to hold a seminar.

"Hello, Mr. Han, Mr. Han, I've heard of Mr. Han's name a long time ago, but it's a pity that we met for the first time today."

In the meeting room, Zhu Yawen was shaking hands with Han Sheng, and said enthusiastically, "I've always wanted to cooperate with Mr. Han on some projects before. I don't know if there will be a chance in the future?"

"Of course."

Han Sheng also nodded, and said with a smile: "We always welcome excellent actors, as long as there are suitable roles, we will naturally consider inviting them to play."

"That's great, thank you Mr. Han."

Zhu Yawen didn't think there was anything wrong with it either. He was able to grow up to where he is today, and a lot of it was due to himself.Just like now, if there is a good show from a big company, it is naturally the best.

What's more, although the other actors in the room didn't speak, they were more or less watching.

But in fact, just now, Han Sheng was chatting enthusiastically with Duan Yihong.It can be seen that Han Sheng's favorite actor is him.If Zhu Yawen hadn't seen Wu Jing enter the door, he would have no chance if he didn't talk, so he had the cheek to quickly interject, otherwise it would be really useless.

And sure enough, after Han Sheng finished talking to him, he smiled at Wu Jing:
"Brother Jing, do you think you are fat?"

"You boy, how could you say hello to the elders like this." Wu Jing was also caught off guard by this sentence, and suddenly he couldn't laugh or cry.

"Ah, I am telling the truth!"

Yu Dong hadn't arrived yet, but soon, and the two of them naturally stood by the wall and chatted for a few words.

"How is it? Seeing that you are very popular."

After chatting for a while, Wu Jing laughed: "Have you ever experienced the feeling that people around me gathered around me after filming "Wolf Warrior 2"?"

"That's right, I've made quite a few well-known movies, but it's only been this year, so I'm not afraid that you'll think I'm a bad fart, but it's true that everyone in the industry has started calling me Mr. Han, and no one paid attention to me a while ago I have come into contact with Guoshi's new play "The Coldest Gun". It was a matter of affirming various things before, but now I don't pay so much attention to it."

Han Sheng waved his hand: "Especially when everyone stays at home in the first half of the year, and after returning to work in the second half of the year, ouch."

As soon as rumors spread about the project "Rising Fame", many people came to it, including second-tier actors and actresses.

Good guy, before you ask for it, after the investment in this film and the remuneration paid to these people, there is nothing left.But now people see that it will start up in September, and they will be idle if they are idle. If the price is low, they can contact and check the book. If the book is good, there is a good chance to appear.

"Yes, the industry is not having a good time right now, and theaters are really not crowded, so there is no need for revenge viewing."

Wu Jing also sighed.

Just like after the resumption of work, the retaliatory consumption in the catering industry that everyone thought would happen did not happen.

I know how difficult it has been recently.

"I can't help it. If I don't work for half a year, everyone's hands are tight, especially many of the moviegoers are young people. In this era, all kinds of consumption, all kinds of burdens, and the level of savings are relatively low."

Han Sheng expressed his understanding: "In addition to the chain reaction of these things, there may be problems such as unemployment. Naturally, it will take a period of time for everyone to adjust, and they will naturally consume more rationally."

If we really want relief, we will have to wait for a while. Now we can only say that the theaters can barely operate normally.

Wu Jing also agreed and sighed: "It's really not easy. Let's not talk about this. How have you been preparing recently?"

"I've already started to prepare, lose weight, tan, and continue to figure out the role." Han Sheng felt sad when he said it, and only said: "This character is probably the one who is the most different from my overall appearance, and the personality is also the same. Easy to do."

"If you say that, I'm relieved."

Wu Jing looked funny, and said, "Every time you tell me that, I know what you've prepared."

"Wolf Warrior 2" is like this, and "The Wandering Earth" is even more so.

"That's not enough. For this character, I still hope that he can grasp the main line." Han Sheng hesitated, and described: "I hope he can reflect the whole growth process instead of being forced to The grand narrative gets drowned out."

"Well, this is really important." Wu Jing also knows that this is the difficulty of this role.

As a newcomer in the barracks, Wu Wanli often followed the reaction of veterans, even if he was very rebellious, so it was difficult to really separate these things and still have his own things.

"But I'm not very worried about the character, the crew as a whole, how does your company think?"

When Wu Jing mentioned this matter, there was an inexplicable feeling of lingering fear on his face, and he asked: "Why do I feel that you didn't seem to ask any questions? I have a lot of questions, and I have been tossed enough."

Nothing Wu Jing said was adulterated.

Especially with director Chen Kaige, that's really
The two people's views on movies are quite inconsistent, but they are both quite qualified. Even Director Chen's qualifications are even more restrictive according to the rules of traditional movies.

But Wu Jing suffered a lot.

In "The Climber", he felt that the emotional drama can be omitted?Adding it will affect the whole.

But to be honest, when he took over the film, a large part of it was due to the role of favors, so naturally he couldn't hold back the crew, and everyone saw the final feedback.This time, basically as Han Sheng expected, he really followed up the whole process and got on top, and the result was naturally
Not pleasant, even rather unpleasant.

"Well, we're not without problems, of course, but it's mainly about the script."

Han Sheng naturally knew this, so he pointed to the folder on the table: "No, we are going to talk about this now."

Not long after, Yu Dong was also in place, and all the staff arrived to start the meeting.

Because it was an internal meeting and a very important meeting, everyone basically stopped talking and got straight to the point.It's just that the actors are basically just spectators, and the main speakers are the investors.

Including two investors who are also actors.

"It's still the same sentence, I don't agree with too many sensational scenes."

At the table, Wu Jing said: "For example, Zhang Xiaoshan was killed by the enemy's shells on the rocky beach. This long emotional drama of Wu Wanli is a bit too much. On the battlefield, how can there be so much time for him to be sad? ?”

"I don't agree with this."

Chen Kaige also immediately continued to speak. It seemed that this was obviously not the first confrontation: "On the battlefield, there is no lack of human warmth. War is cruel, but people's hearts can be warm."

"But it wasn't as warm as that condition, and the situation at the time didn't allow it."

"But this is a movie, and there can be some artistic processing"

Well, many people said that they were not surprised, and waited quietly for the two people to "discuss" for a while, and then they saw that they were a little bit overwhelmed, and hurriedly said: "Okay, well, it seems that everyone needs to think about it, or Mr. Han , tell me what you think."

"Uh, actually, Brother Jing and I have similar ideas."

Han Sheng curled his lips, thinking my suggestion would be very gentle?Wrong, he said: "For example, the part where the American military officer salutes the volunteers here, I don't think it is necessary."
