The counterattack of the outdated star started from the divorce variety show

Chapter 171
Wei Chu is cooperating with Mango Channel on a new TV series in Xiangsha. He has mentioned before that he wants Li Che to take time to come over so that everyone can have a meal together and talk about the Golden Eagle Festival awards.

On this trip, Li Che also brought Qi Qi and Qi Qingsong with him.

Qi Qingsong finally finished editing "White Night Chasing the Murder".

"Has the director ever told you that the idea of ​​your script is very clear and easy to cut?"

Not seen for a while, Qi Qingsong abandoned the image of an artist with long hair and changed to a gentle hairstyle. He looks much more energetic and younger.

"Then you have been cutting for so long?"

Everyone who filmed Li Che's script praised it, and Tang Dingbo, who had completed "Chai Xiaoqi" under high pressure at that time, praised it the most.

In addition to the selection of shots, editing is also a reflection of narrative skills, and the script Li Che transferred clearly explained these.

Of course, Wang Changxing's boast is a bit ironic, because editing is also called the official start of film creation.

In Wang Changxing's view, when Li Che wrote the script, it was like making a movie. If he didn't do his job of writing the script properly, he would always interfere with his creative ideas.

However, this is also the reason why Wang Changxing saw that Li Che had no photography foundation and felt that he had the potential to become a good director and would guide him on the set.

A director who wants to be famous in film history pursues art, while a good director only needs to tell a good story.

But as far as Qi Qingsong was concerned this time, it took him nearly two months for the first rough cut, and he was ashamed to say that the good cut was beyond Li Che's expectation.

After the post-production company has finished production, it still needs to be edited. The production cycle of the entire TV series has been running for almost nine months. This is still a Criminal Investigation Bureau. If there are some minor setbacks in the final review, it will take a whole year.

This speed is too slow.

Li Che's original plan was to produce the finished film within seven months.

"At first I wanted to try it myself, but we only shot that little material, and in the end I had to cut it according to your ideas. After I lay flat, it took only half a month to finish the cut. This TV series was shot It's really..."

Qi Qingsong let out a long breath.

"It's not ashamed to make money." Qi Qi next to him covered his mouth and smiled, "The eldest nephew cut his own hair after cutting the film, so as to make his depression feel better."

If Qi Qi hadn't been monitoring the progress, Qi Qingsong would have wanted to dawdle for a while.

"You will have more room to play in the next movie. Concentrate on making money first, and you will definitely be able to pursue your dreams in the future."

Li Che came to sing the red face.

"Well, but before the official production of "White Night Chase" is finished, you let me start preparing for the new movie. The speed is too fast, and I haven't studied the script properly."

The biggest headache for Qi Qingsong was this. Li Che didn't know why he was crazy. The movie that was originally scheduled to start around the end of October had to be started in September. It would definitely conflict with the final production of "White Night".

Some actors have already been criticized for being unprofessional, and Li Che forced a director to do so...

At that time, it will definitely be left to the assistant director, which means that his work on "White Night" has been completed, which is equivalent to Qi Qingsong giving birth to a child, but Li Che will not let him raise it.

Qi Qingsong felt that his previous understanding of Li Che was completely wrong. Li Che had no artistic pursuits at all and was just a cold-blooded capitalist!

"You will like the new movie," Li Che ignored Qi Qingsong's resentment, "And I won't act in this movie, it's completely your stage, if you screw up, go home and serve the old man!"

"Really?" Qi Qingsong's eyes lit up immediately, almost jumping up from his seat, "If you don't act in this movie, what are you going to do, act in a TV series?"

"I make my own movies."

Li Che chuckled and did not look at Qi Qingsong's useless look.

"You, you..." Qi Qingsong almost thought he heard wrong again, coughed before adjusting, "Then just wait, my movie box office will definitely kill you in an instant!"

Qi Qingsong finally felt that he could regain his place in front of Li Che. How could making a movie be so simple?

"You'd better think about how to avoid losing money. My movie hasn't been made yet, but it's already profitable."

Li Che shrugged.

"You want to make an online movie?"

Qi Qingsong also changed his mind quickly.

Li Che nodded.

After the movie is released in domestic theaters, it will be available on video websites, some of which are free for members to watch, and some require a separate fee.

And online movies refer to movies that are not released in theaters, but directly distributed online.

Big online movies are the development trend of the film industry, but they are still in their infancy in China, giving people the impression that they are all shoddy and low-cost movies, and they will choose to distribute online only if they can’t make it to the theaters.

But abroad, online movies have already been nominated for the Oscar for Best Picture.

Several domestic video sites have long announced their own account sharing standards and made layouts. However, in the domestic Internet industry, there is still a lack of some important works to enhance the audience's confidence and attention to the Internet University.

Even the current Internet industry is limited to small productions with a cost of 500 million in a narrow sense. No matter how high this number is, it will be difficult to recover the cost from online distribution.

Therefore, first-line actors and first-class directors can't shoot online big, thankless, and lowered their standards.

Traditional film and television companies are also limited by the unclear profit model, and will not participate in major online projects of large productions, while small productions will smash their own signs.

Therefore, there are no big companies to come forward, and those who are big online are all professional companies.

Li Che was going to be the first one to eat the crab.

As for the mood in the theaters, Li Che asked professionals and his fans Cao Jinxiu for their opinions.

Of course, theater chains want every movie to be shown in theaters. Even if the theater is a one-day trip, they can still get money - it is the producer's business to lose money.

But this movie was directed by Li Che himself, a first-time cross-border director who was ready to practice his skills in the Internet, so no one paid much attention to it.

And if Li Che is going to go to theaters for the first time as a director, even if the internal viewing results are good, it will be difficult for the theaters to arrange too many films, unless Li Che spends a lot of money on publicity and releases to burn up the pre-sale results .

In short, there is greater pressure to recover costs.

As for Li Che, he should practice first. If his reputation is good, then the next movie will be more popular with theaters.

Li Che made this choice not because he didn't have confidence in himself as a director. After all, being a cross-border director in China has made a lot of box office hits.

Instead, while considering the financial health of the studio, try to accelerate the development of the studio as much as possible.

If you can prove that you are a good director, the studio will have more room for development.

Li Che must consider the unexpected situations he may face. The competitors on the market are not good at it. At the same time, the last two projects have put the studio under considerable financial pressure.

For the third project, the best choice is Wangda, which can recover the cost when the project is established.

In fact, it wasn't the video sites that gave Li Che such lenient conditions, Li Che wouldn't go filming online movies either.

It's not good to just lick the theaters blindly. If you can repeatedly jump successfully, you will have more initiative in front of them.

Theaters still recognize money, and whose movie can bring in high box office, then whose movie will be shown.

There's never been a better time to be on two boats when the studio's filmmaking is just getting started.
