Chapter 75 The script meeting, the long-legged version of Qiuya(1/2)
In order to make movies, Shen Zang had already registered a company before. He was a student entrepreneur. The procedures were very simple and he also enjoyed many discounts.
With the previous copyright income of 3.5 million, according to the agreement, I will split the account with my eldest brother Long 55.
So, the money he got was about 1.75 million.
Because it does not exceed 3 million, it can be calculated according to the small and micro enterprise income tax rate.
100X2.5%+(175-100)X5%.
The tax rate is 2.5% for the amount up to one million, and the tax rate is 5% for the amount over one million.
If it exceeds 3 million, the tax rate will increase significantly.
The funds currently available to Shen Fang are close to 1.7 million, which should be enough to film "Cinema for the Blind".
This movie is relatively heartwarming, and the shooting cost should be less than that of "Far Cry".
Therefore, he has been mainly busy recently discussing movie matters with Lu Yang and Teacher Wang Jinsong.
Naturally, Shen Fang did not forget his two brothers.
Brother Teng and Brother Xiang.
Among these people, most of them were from Beijing Film Academy, so we found a place in the acting department building of Beijing Film Academy to talk.
Think of it as a script meeting.
“As for the role, I feel like it’s a bit overshadowed?”
Teacher Wang first expressed his opinion. The script everyone has now was modified by Shen Fang and is not the original one.
Of course, as far as the entire plot is concerned, the movement is not too big.
There are two main lines in Lu Yang's "Cinema for the Blind" booklet.
One is why that weird old man opened a cinema for the blind.
The other one is the love story between the male protagonist Chen Yu and Xiao Ou.
Now, what Teacher Wang mentioned is talking about content beyond the two lines.
Shen Fang added a lot of drama to many originally unimportant characters.
These roles have become more important, their roles are heavier, and they seem to be taking over the lead role.
Lu Yang didn't say anything. He actually didn't expect that it would develop so fast and that this book would be made into a movie.
Brother Teng and Brother Xiang couldn't refute Teacher Wang, so they just looked at Shen Fang.
Obviously, Shen Fang is still the core this time, and he is still an investor, but he must pay attention to Teacher Wang's advice.
But, that's what he said.
"Teacher Wang, do you think there is anything else that needs to be added to your character?"
The role of Teacher Wang?
Yes, Teacher Wang has a role in "Cinema for the Blind".
He is a frequent visitor to movie theaters and a teacher at a film school.
"Well, I just think..." Teacher Wang talked eloquently, "A teacher at a film school should have endless pursuit of art. Even if he can't see, this can only be regarded as a small thing. obstacle."
Listen, this sounds a bit lofty.
But aren't there some minor problems?
Brother Xiang, as a student of Teacher Wang, couldn't help it, "Teacher, is it really okay for you to play the role of yourself?"
Teacher Wang's face turned slightly red and he hesitated, "What's the problem? As long as the character's story can move the audience."
The role that Teacher Wang will play was originally written by Lu Yang, but Shen Fang later added some scenes.
This character was originally a photographer who worked in movies, but he was blind and refused to give up so he often came to this cinema.
His temper was very bad at first, but gradually changed.
Shen Fang directly became a teacher at the film school and has a very obsessed pursuit of film art.
In short, what you just mentioned, Mr. Wang, is that the role is overshadowed. Does your character also overshadow the role?
Now that it falls on you, you think it’s good and you don’t want to take over?
Shen Fang chuckled, "Teacher Wang's words are good, as long as the story is touching."
What a great move to smooth things over.
Brother Teng and Brother Xiang secretly gave a thumbs up, and even Lu Yang, who didn't speak much, couldn't help but nod.
Teacher Wang himself also laughed, "Shen Fang, you are really awesome. Okay, let's follow this idea and try to make every character's story touching."
Shen Fang added, "It's not about trying your best, but it's a must."
As soon as these words came out, everyone couldn't help but nod.
"Yes, it is a must!"
In fact, Shen Fang expected that this discussion would be dominated by others.
Well, it’s normal to discuss this when it comes to scripts, and you really have to balance the weight of each character’s story.
But this time Shen Fang made up his mind from the beginning to carve out every supporting role in this movie.
And the reason why he did this was entirely because of a TV series that seemed completely unrelated to this movie.
"beginning".
It should be said that this TV series has a lot to do with "Far Cry", but it seems difficult to find any connection with "Cinema for the Blind".
However, Shen Fang was indeed inspired by the play "The Beginning".
Speaking of "The Beginning", Infinite Loop and Sister Jinmai are indispensable.
I believe that after watching this drama, who wouldn’t want to be a golden boy, right?
This issue was not something Shen Fang considered.
He really felt that the other passengers on that bus were more attractive to him!
That happy brother.
That fitness instructor.
The working man who wants his daughter to go to school better.
The uncle who was released after serving his sentence in order to give his son a big watermelon he grew.
Even the aunt with a bag full of medicine, or even the pot aunt.
Their stories are all fascinating.
In fact, it was their stories that made the show really popular and made many viewers fall in love with it.
Shen Fang originally had such a plan. He planned to use this cinema for the blind as a stage to show the various flavors of life.
Therefore, he increased the role of characters like Teacher Wang.
Shen Fang knew that everyone must have opinions on this approach, but he knew very well that his persistence should be right.
In this way, Teacher Wang was convinced, or bribed.
what about others?
"Brother Teng, what do you think about playing a blind person?"
"Well...I'm quite stressed."
In the last "Far Cry", Shen Fang didn't take care of the senior members of Happy Twist. There was nothing we could do about it, after all, it was a thriller.
If Brother Teng were to act in it, it might become "Tricks and Laughs".
This time there will be no problem. Brother Teng can definitely use his talent for comedy. This movie is more life-like and it’s good to just laugh.
But Brother Teng has never played a blind person, so he is under a lot of pressure.
"How about I play something else?"
"What are you playing?"
"How about playing a police officer?"
"Just arrest my policeman?"
"That's right."
Speaking of this, Brother Teng and Shen Fang both laughed.
Probably, Brother Teng will make a cameo this time.
Shen Fang turned to Brother Xiang again, "Then..."
Before Shen Fang could say anything, Brother Xiang jumped in first.
"I have no problem! I have an advantage."
To be continued...
