Chapter 1134 "The Truman World"
Chapter 1134 “Trumen’s World”
Gong Nanbei simply told Wang Wangjiao his thoughts. Nowadays, North and North Media is no longer short of money and can shoot some word-of-mouth movies.
This kind of reputation does not refer to the audience's reputation or whether the movie is good or not, but the reputation in the educational sense!
Just like the previous "The Flowers of War" of Jinling, this movie, North and South Media actually lost money, but because of this movie, North and South Media changed the impression of many black fans, and it could not be bought for no amount of money.
"The Thirteen Slits of Jinling" is also considered an art film, but this is a art film limited to China or the Bangzi Kingdom. The Japanese cannot admit it, let alone other countries.
Do white people care about the life and death of yellow people? How can they feel like they are substituted?
The quality of an art film lies precisely in this regard.
A good-looking commercial film, the audience may laugh or cry after watching it, which can prove the success of the commercial film.
It is difficult for art films to achieve these two points, and art films generally have only two results.
Either it makes you bored to fall asleep or it makes you feel suffocated after watching it! Of course, there are some surprises in it, such as "The Shawshank Redemption"!
This movie is a miracle, and is known as the filmmaker's textbook together with "Cinema Paradise".
No matter what search engine you are looking for, the top three of the best art films in the world will definitely have this "Shawshank Redemption"!
But due to different history, different politics, etc., Gong Nanbei cannot star in this movie, which can only be said to be a bit regretful.
In the end, Gong Nanbei decided to shoot the script that had been written long ago, "The World of Truman"!
After hearing this, Wang Mong Kok nodded in agreement. He also felt that this movie should be the most suitable one after it was adapted.
After the decision was made, Gong Nanbei sent a message in the work group preparing for a meeting.
Since you plan to launch a movie project, you definitely need the company's support.
For example, let props be prepared, special effects preparation, marketing department analysis, publicity department prepares advertising plans, etc.
In the afternoon, the people in charge of the North and South Media Corporation gathered in the conference room.
After Gong Nanbei and Wang Mong Kok arrived at the conference room, Gong Nanbei sat directly in the main seat. The conference room was quiet. Everyone looked at Gong Nanbei, holding a pen in his hand, and in front of him was a notepad, ready to record the content related to them today.
Gong Nanbei cleared his throat and said directly: "Old employees should still remember that I wanted to shoot an art film, but later the plan was temporarily stranded for various reasons. Now, I think it's time to restart!"
"The name of the movie is called "Trumen's World"! The story takes place in a huge studio..."
Gong Nanbei directly told them the general content of the Truman world, and waited for Gong Nanbei to finish speaking before he said it.
"Now you can express your opinions. If you have any suggestions, please submit them at the meeting."
After talking, several people raised their hands, and Gong Nanbei pointed one of them and said, "You talk first."
"Mr. Gong, what is the purpose of our filming of this art film? I am frankly speaking, I personally think this art film should not be too profitable, at least it should not be as profitable as our superhero movies."
"And you are the starring actors. You have won all the world-class awards now. I don't think this movie means much to you. So, why do we have to shoot it?"
Gong Nanbei nodded slowly when he heard this, and then began to explain: "Your question is very good. That's right. Now we, North and North Media, have occupied a place in the world's commercial films and even created the world's number one box office! So Mr. Wang and I think we should challenge art films and imprint the traces of our North and South Media on the art films!"
After saying this, someone raised his hand again and said, "Mr. Gong, what is the plan for this shooting? Will the actors still adopt newcomers?"
Gong Nanbei shook his head and said, "I haven't thought about the actor yet. This time I mainly study the feasibility of the script."
The man continued: "If you want to make an art film, Mr. Gong, I recommend it to use newcomers! Using old actors will easily make the audience lose their dramas and increase the cost."
Gong Nanbei hugged, "I will consider this."
After saying that, he looked at the editor-in-chief of the editorial department and said, "I will hand over the script to you later. If you ask your subordinates to modify it, this time the script should not only cater to the taste of China, but also to be accepted by other countries in the world."
"Okay, Mr. Gong, what is the expected investment in this movie?"
Gong Nanbei shook his head and said: "No investment limit"
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the conference room was shocked. No investment restrictions were allowed. Is Mr. Gong so much expectation for this movie?
But then they figured it out again, too, how much can an art film cost? It was almost blocked by 200 million. This is still the case where actors' pay has skyrocketed, otherwise it would not be enough for these 200 million to 300 million.
The most important investment is actually Gong Nanbei’s salary.
With Gong Nanbei's current net worth and a pay of less than 100 million yuan for filming, he would not consider it at all.
For the outside world, Gong Nanbei asked for a pay of 300 million! He was trying to scare some people away. After all, now North and North Media is the largest company in China, so he has no reason to go out to film.
But at a high price of 300 million, people are still asking and posting scripts!
These investors all understand one thing: Gong Nanbei is the guarantee of box office!
If a movie invests one billion, success or failure is possible. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a 50-50 movie.
But if there is Gong Nanbei in this movie, the success rate will definitely reach more than 80%!
The three words Gong Nanbei alone are a kind of appeal!
The meeting lasted for more than an hour in total. After the meeting was held, North and South Media took action again.
But the scale of the North and North Media is different now. Although it is filming a blockbuster film starring Gong Nanbei, it doesn’t require the same kind as before, and it will do its best to the company.
After Gong Nanbei returned to the office, he gave his script and storyboards to the editor, and left the rest to him.
The editor-in-chief immediately called ten confidants and started to revise the script with him.
......
North and South Media took action again, and the surrounding small media paid close attention to the trends of North and South Media. When they knew that North and South Media were about to shoot movies, they began to inquire about the inside story.
The most important thing is that it is different from the release time of North and South Media movies!
Time passed slowly day by day, and this time Gong Nanbei looked forward to "The World of Truman".
So I did a lot of work in the early stage of the filming, and the script of the movie was also changed.
Gong Nanbei started a long-term interview in his own company...
