God of Life - Chapter 407

Chapter 397 New Director

The production process of a movie that is determined to be shown in theaters is far more complicated than imagined.

After signing the contract, what is about to start is to set up a creative team.

Director, photography, art, martial arts director, special effects company…

In the first step to find the director, the producer team had a disagreement.

As the first producer, An Xiaofang prefers Ye Weixin or Li Rengang, both of whom have worked with directors before, and they have a good set of action films.

Director Ye’s Ye Wen and Director Li’s Jin Yiwei are both the peak of domestic action movies in recent years.

However, in Wang Yan’s view, they are somewhat unsatisfactory.

We Wang Dashao is the second producer and main investor. If he has any opinions, we have to continue the discussion.

An Xiaofang asked: “Wang Shao, what point of Ye Dao are you not satisfied with?”

“This year Director Ye will shoot up into the sky. Next year, there will be a Ye Wen 3, giving us four months of shooting time in the middle. Isn’t it a bit too arrogant?”

Wang Dashao was shocking, and he directly accused a meritorious director of arrogance. The investment representatives of Yida and China Film looked at each other, feeling that this boy was not easy to fool.

An Xiaofang patiently explained: “Our film, the main action and the secondary special effects, are very simple to shoot. Four months is more than enough…”

“President An, I believe that the filming can be completed in 4 months, or even faster, it won’t take two months.”

When Wang Yan said this, An Xiaofang frowned: “Where is the problem?”

“As an investor, I think this attitude is not good enough.”

I squeezed out four months in the middle of the two films to rush to the scene, come and shoot, and leave after the filming, and I don’t know where to put it. Why?

Wang Yan didn’t save face for anyone, so he spoke very directly and frankly.

“The director may not be famous, but he must have enthusiasm.

He has to take our movie seriously, love the story from the bottom of his heart, and want to make a good show.

You can’t just start shooting and make a personal movie like you are dealing with errands.

The two directors have strong personal styles, but our films also have styles. Are Ye and Li ready to break through themselves?

I believe they have a very high limit on director skills.

However, if there is no such sincere attitude and determination to change, the most photographed will be the lower limit.

I firmly disagree with Ye Dao’s 4 months. ”

Bang bang bang!

Li Yixu suddenly applauded, and his face was full of admiration.

“Wang Shao’s remarks are in my heart, and I firmly agree. No matter what you do, sincerity is the most important thing.”

The person in charge of Yida is surnamed Zhang, and the person in charge of China Film Digital is surnamed Li, while nodding his head.

“It’s true, artistic creation cannot be perfunctory.”

Four to one, An Xiaofang did not continue.

“OK, Ye Dao Pass. What about Li Dao?”

“”Three Kingdoms: Resurrection of the Dragon”, “Jinyiwei”, “Hongmen Banquet”, “Manchurian Express”, “Tianjiang Hero”, I personally dislike all the films of Director Li in recent years. Director Li is not good at making witches. .”

Wang Dashao is not vague, the reason is straightforward and condescending.

Regardless of whether the view is correct or not, the main investor’s momentum is coming out.

Li Yixu immediately expressed his support: “The box office of “Heavenly Commander” is too bleak, we can’t take the witch to risk it.”

The two nodding monsters Zhang and Li continued to nod.

An Xiaofang didn’t get angry.

She has the professional qualities that she should have. Wang Yan is not right for people, but for the good of the film. Disagreements can be resolved through communication.

“Wang Shao, you are a dramatist. What kind of helm do you think we should look for in our movies?”

Screenwriter Wang’s thinking is very clear.

“A master of composition, preferably a background in photography.

The script is detailed enough, I have the fighting scenes in my mind, and the narrative and actions don’t require the director to worry about.

The point that a director can best improve the quality of the film lies in the picture, color, and training of the actors.

So we don’t really need a big director who thinks too much, we need a paranoid who loves details.

Or… find a new director? ”

New director? !

The two nodding monsters stopped nodding, and looked at each other.

But An Xiaofang had no opinion on the contrary—not only did she have no opinion, she even agreed with Wang Yan’s attitude.

“No one knows and loves witches better than you. Your views on Director Ye and Director Li, and your requirements for the director all prove that you have a comprehensive consideration of the project.

From the perspective of the producer, this is a manifestation of control.

Very good, just follow your ideas, I think our cooperation will be very pleasant. ”

Li Yixu smiled and joked with the two nodding monsters.

“The reason why I must participate in Wang Shao’s project is because of Wang Shao’s strong self-confidence.

Shao Wang is not blindly self-confident, but based on a bold and practical plan with a clear goal, with the kind of self-confidence that has a clear thinking and a big picture.

Mr. Zhang Li, Mr. Wang Shao is a very capable and miraculous leader. You can rest assured of our producer team. ”

Nodding, nodding.

The nodding monsters were refreshed.

An Xiaofang has rich experience, Wang Yan has the ability and attitude, and Li Yixu is fluent and good at communication. This is indeed a good team.

A good team does not necessarily make a good film.

However, if you want to make a good film, you must have a good team.

For the time being, the witch has great hopes of becoming a good film.

Next, everyone fully exchanged views on a series of issues, and basically confirmed the director’s ability and style, the team of martial arts, the photography art, the main shooting scenes, and so on.

Thanks to the detailed level of the script, a lot of preliminary work can be carried out at the same time.

Director is the most troublesome issue, but An Xiaofang seems confident.

After the meeting, everyone was busy and went, Wang Yan embarked on a flight to the imperial capital.

It’s time to check the status of Xiao Gongju and Na Wu.

Today, November 25th, if nothing else, it will start around February 15th next year, which happens to be a lucky day, the eighth day of the first lunar month.

The filming was completed within 45 days, at the end of March and beginning of April.

The special effects in the later stage are quite simple, and the film will definitely be completed before the end of May, and then the license will be released immediately.

All goes well, it will be released in July, shopping for summer files.

If it doesn’t go well, we must overthrow the original marketing plan, either find a low season, or fight for the 11th holiday.

Don’t think about the Spring Festival in early 2017, it is impossible to get it.

That is the battlefield of the real top directors and top teams. Doesn’t Zheng Baobao Heipi Xingye occupy one of them to be eligible to squeeze in?

And the witch is not the kind of family comedy originally, it is meaningless to take the Spring Festival file, it is really the most useful summer file.

If you want to grab the summer file, you must score every second.

The main creative team has two and a half months to prepare in the early stage, which is very generous and can do its work very solidly.

Mainly the actor team.

The actors are in good condition, and the shooting progress is leaps and bounds.

The actors are not good, 45 days may not be enough.

Among all the actors, the most important is Fu Yushi, the state of this absolute heroine.

She can’t hold it up, this film is just a vain and floating action film, relying on those fighting scenes to get people’s attention-just like the original witch.

She can hold it up, but that’s more than that.

Of course, the original version of Witch is not bad.

It’s just a pity that too many places have not been done well, and I have not been able to reach the upper limit that should have been touched.

Half of the reason is that the investment is too small and stretched.

The other half lies in the director’s own flaws.

The original director Park Hoon-jung is a screenwriter, and “Improper Deal” and “New World” show his screenwriting talents vividly and vividly.

However, too much emphasis on the depiction of human nature may be a common problem with this type of screenwriter.

Making feature films and crime films is their advantage.

What kind of deep human nature is going to be done in an action movie…

What about it? !

The original witch’s narrative in the early stage was dull, which severely reduced the burst of coolness in the later stage.

After the hearty action scenes, a lot of so-called “mystery solving” that is superfluous and illusory has been produced, which is a failure of slowing the rhythm.

Anyway, when Wang Yan was watching the movie, he felt that the director was really thinking about it.

Cool enough, not cool enough, awkward, like shit mixed in chocolate.

It’s still chocolate, it’s really delicious when it’s delicious, and you have to endure the strange smell the rest of the time.

Screenwriter Wang’s version is definitely not like that, the plot layer by layer progresses to the end.

But can Xiao Gongju be done?

Can you use acting skills and style to support the early stage?

this is a problem.

If you can’t fulfill Wang Yan’s request… you can go with Xiong Da gnaw on the green onions!

With fierceness, Wang Da Shaoxiong furiously killed Emperor Wu.
