Chapter 106 Launch Conference (7/8)
On February 16, Yang Qing flew back to Beijing from his hometown in Chongqing.
It was very cold, but he was very hot inside.
I finally made a movie!
For this day, he has been preparing for more than ten years...
Maybe from the time I saw swords and swords on the discs in the video hall when I was young, I saw the friendship of men. At that time, the idea of making a movie of my own had already taken root!
After coming to Beijing, he began to come into contact with people in the industry, gradually learned about the film industry, and began to be a gunman for people...
Then the group of people said they wanted to take him to make a movie!
These experiences were like taking a young man to see a mirage and he believed it.
Then what?
Withdrawing from the infinite possibilities, he felt that he had lost a lot, and this feeling was the most terrifying.
During that time, Yang Qing was in an extremely empty but excited state. He knew that he should make his own movie, but he completely lost his direction when it came to what to do. He just drew his sword and looked at him at a loss...
It was probably the Spring Festival in 2007. After being fucked hard for a round in a crew in his hometown, he finally realized it.
He wants to shoot a movie that costs a small cost, passes the review, audiences will laugh after watching it, and investors can make money.
Then he took out "Night Store", and then he met Xu Zheng and Lu Xiaoran...
Of course he knew that his qualifications were very shallow. The two great gods in the crew, Xu Zheng and Lu Xiaoran, were both drama bullies!
What's more hateful than a drama bully?
Meet two drama bullies!
Xu Zheng is really a drama tycoon. In fact, there are many directors from Hong Kong who are looking for him to play supporting roles in the past few years that the producers can act as comedies.
He would rather play some roles he could control at a small cost than carry shoes to others...
Have a sense of arrogance!
However, they still respect the director very much. They shoot normally and can't say a word.
The conditions have been agreed upon. If you are your director, we act in our play, if you have different opinions, you can discuss...
If we don’t play a one-man show, this is probably the difference between Lu Xiaoran, Xu Zheng and Jiang Wen.
Therefore, Yang Qing was both expectant and confused...
...
"Your storyboard is too abstract!"
Lu Xiaoran was holding a stack of A4 papers, and in small grids on it, he was painted with... Stickman...
To be precise, this is the storyboard of "Night Shop"...
Yang Qing was embarrassed: "…My art foundation is too poor..."
"Story shots" are also called director's scripts. Directors should draw their own shooting ideas in small grids based on the text scripts.
The content covers the scene, lens movement, time length, soundtrack and picture content, which is very trivial and complex.
It not only tests the director's ability to dispatch the camera, but also tests the painter in particular.
Generally speaking, the storyboards drawn by directors are in comic style, not seeking beauty, but only seeking ease of understanding.
The most awesome storyline of Chinese directors is Xu Laoqian. The storylines he draws are extremely visually impactful and can be published as comics!
Yang Qing...
Very bad!
"If you don't have a good painter, you can find a storyboard to draw. Isn't your storyboard very well done!"
“…Small investment, save as much as possible.”
"Brother, on the day the computer is on, we will go to see the third master together. You can show this to others?"
“…San Master?”
"The release of our drama is China Film. He is one of the producers, so of course we have to look at the storyboard!"
"I'll find someone to modify it right away..."
"Well, you can go back and go into seclusion first. On the 29th, the opening ceremony, don't forget."
...
On February 29, the opening ceremony of "Night Shop" at the Media Hotel will be grandly opened.
There is no question about Shanda. The company has sent invitations to many media, but not many of them have come. After all, they are not a big star, with a big lineup...
Although Lu Xiaoran is quite popular, the specifications of "Nightclub" are here, a low-cost comedy.
The crew doesn’t have much money, and the budget is only 4.5 million, but the money you should spend must be spent.
Holding a opening ceremony is not a matter of face, but it can really play a publicity role.
Movies themselves are a commodity, and they must do everything possible to get the audience to pay for tickets, and publicity is crucial.
For the sake of momentum, Lu Xiaoran called Ning Hao. Ning Hao looked down on the book "Night Store". He thought it was too simple and he didn't even have the five successes!
But Xu Zheng and Huang Bo have come, and it’s not right if he doesn’t come...
But he firmly refused to do anything to supervise the producer!
Grandma, Lu Xiaoran doesn’t want to force others, so she can only let them go.
Backstage, Lu Xiaoran patted Ning Hao on the shoulder and asked, "Has "Racing" been edited?"
Before Ning Hao could speak, Huang Bo said directly: "…I have just started to cut my hair!"
“When will it be?”
Ning Hao thought for a while: "I think the arrangements on Zhongying should be able to catch up with the New Year's Eve!"
“…how many months?”
"How many months are you?"
"I'll fight for it, there should be no problem at the end of November!"
"Then I'll be in January."
"Be careful... This year, "If You Are the One" and "Mei Lanfang" will be released in late December!"
"I'm a small cost, different from them!"
Ning Hao disagreed...
Haha, when "If You Are the One" is released, you will know that you will regret it...
He turned his head to look at Yang Qing, who seemed to be trembling and pushed him: "...What's wrong with you?"
“…I…I’m a little nervous!”
"What's nervous?"
"That's right, do you think someone will pay attention to you? You must ask us Director Lu Da..." Huang Bo took over the conversation and changed his Mandarin: "Lu Xiaoran, what are your considerations and why did you take on the work of a new director?"
Uh, Bo Ge is really a prophet.
In the subsequent media interview session, all the long guns and short cannons were aimed at Lu Xiaoran, and the questions asked were really like what Brother Bo mentioned:
"Lu Xiaoran, what are your considerations and why did you take on the works of a new director?"
“Because the script is fun.”
"I heard that the film started filming this time, and you are one of the investors, and the amount is heard. The film market is not good now, have you ever thought about the risks?"
"Risk? I remember that so far, none of the movies I participated in had lost money! And to be honest, I have confidence in this movie. It is important to see a good story. We have a good story. At the same time, we have a good cast and a group of the best staff, so I don't think this movie has a reason to fail."
"Director Lu Xiaoran, why didn't he direct it himself this time?"
"...Because Director Yang Qing asked me to act, but she didn't let me be the director. You have to understand the rules, so the actors will do the best actors..."
“So what are your expectations for the box office of the movie?”
"Well, if possible, I hope it will be 30 million!"
The reporters in the audience were a little surprised. They must have made a little investigation before they came: "Night Store" has a total investment of less than 4 million, with a box office of 30 million.
Another "Crazy Stone"?
Just so happened that Ning Hao, the director of "Stone", was also sitting on the stage...
Chapter completed!
