Chapter 85 August (2/5)
The script of "Painted Skin 2"...
A little too simple and niche.
Do you love someone to be more concerned about appearance or inner self? This topic has too low sociality, much like the taste of small essays on the urban newspaper literature and art supplements.
Lu Xiaoran dared not do it unless he could keep the cost below 30 million.
The auxiliary only said that "Painted Skin 2" won 700 million yuan in box office, directed by Urshan, and he didn't know anything else - he had never seen this movie!
The original words are as follows: ‘It’s too long, the pace is very slow, and the plot that can be explained in just a few words has to be delayed for more than ten minutes. I really can’t see it. The only memory point is that the picture looks very similar to "The Lord of the Rings". One hundred million yuan has made more than one billion dollars of effect. It’s awesome!’
"Exaggeration, you get what you pay for, 100 million US dollars, why don't you boast of a billion US dollars!"
Although I don’t believe it very much, Lu Xiaoran still thinks that Wu Ershan can indeed spend money!
The biggest advantage of a big commercial director is that he knows how to spend money!
On the plane, Lu Xiaoran was thinking about the issue of pay...
At the Shanghai Film Festival some time ago, Wen Juan criticized the actor's pay: Now if you want to invite big names to act in a movie, you have to give them 8 digits, and 7 digits are not enough. A star has to follow eight assistants behind the set!
But he also said a few years ago: the pay of celebrities has never been standardized. To put it bluntly, it is determined by the market. If a boss is willing to give it, the stars dare to collect it. In Hollywood, the actors' guild can only stipulate that the actors must receive a certain salary at a minimum, as a guarantee of life, but there is never a limit. There is no requirement for a big star to charge more than a certain salary.
Now I'm saying that the actors are overpaid?
It’s normal. In the past, those who received high pay were Hong Kong and Taiwan stars, but now it’s different. The pay for mainland actors is coming...
Wen Jue is a producer. In the past, he could make a movie in the mainland for a few million yuan, and it would make money by selling it for 20 million yuan. Now he still sells for more than 20 million yuan, but the cost has increased several times, so he is of course unhappy!
The pay for the realization stage is not very expensive. With such a huge investment in "Painted Skin 2", the three leading actors have not yet reached 15 million yuan;
The only young generation in the mainland who pays over 10 million yuan in films is Lu Xiaoran, and he has not taken on foreign dramas yet!
The total pay for actors in "Search" is less than 12 million yuan, the highest pay is Tangtang's 3.8 million yuan, and then Wang Zhiwen's 3 million yuan. The rest, like Huang Xuan, Gao Lu, and Wang Luodan, are less than one million yuan...
It accounts for about 30% of the total cost.
It is a very healthy standard.
Director Lu and screenwriter fees are converted into 5 million + 10% of the box office share...
...
"Search", Teacher Lu is preparing to finish the shooting in one and a half months.
This is a purely realistic narrative work. As long as the actors perform well, set up a camera and shoot it directly!
By the way, Teacher Lu found a work adapted by Wen Yu and did not shoot according to the original movie.
He watched it first, and then listened to the Husky's story...
I didn't understand that Chen Kai wanted to change this for Mao - the love between Yang Shoucheng and Ye Lanqiu.
In the middle, he took the initiative to help Ye Lanqiu. In addition to his kindness and integrity, there are two key reasons. One is that Ye Lanqiu saved his life from the knife-holding thief, and the other is that he felt guilty for causing serious harm to Ye Lanqiu by the report of his girlfriend Chen Ruoxi.
So he promised Ye Lanqiu to stay with her for a month and tried his best to find ways to help her get out of the predicament.
One month allowed them to experience many twists and turns together and finally fell in love with each other...
Director Chen changed a month to a week, which can be considered for the duration of time, but the motivation became that Yang Shoucheng worked for Ye Lanqiu to earn 50,000 yuan a week. He was also upset when he was misunderstood by his girlfriend when he watched the sunrise with Ye Lanqiu on the sixth day, and even shouted at Ye Lanqiu, which was enough to show that he did not fall in love with Ye Lanqiu at this time!
However, the second day after learning that Ye Lanqiu had cancer, that is, the last day...
He said in his attitude of falling in love with her that he would accompany her to carry out the treatment to the end. From not loving to loving, there was no sufficient reason for this in a flash...
Is it just good-looking?
The director arranged such a good man to appear in order to have a fresh love relationship with Ye Lanqiu to attract the audience's attention?
Later I found out that this thing is to promote Ningbo City...
Therefore, Ye Lanqiu borrowed 1 million from Chen Liushu, enjoyed it very bourgeois for a week, leading the audience to enjoy the beautiful scenery of Ningbo, and then choose to die...
Lu Xiaoran doesn’t care about these things. The movie Orange Image does not take up investment and is only released, which means he doesn’t spend money. Therefore, he can shoot whatever he wants, and there is no need to consider the market!
Besides, it doesn’t cost one million to enjoy the beautiful scenery of Ningbo? In the end, I donated the money...
Ye Lanqiu is an ordinary and beautiful woman. If she had not received the "verdict" of her cancer from the doctor that day; if she had not lost control after smelling the breath of death, she became painful and helpless, and her brain was numb; if she chose to take a taxi home instead of taking the bus, perhaps her entire world would not have collapsed at such a fast speed.
When an old man got on the station and came to Ye Lanqiu, she was so confused that she looked at him.
The accusation of the ticket seller made Ye Lanqiu's chaotic mood finally find a point of venting. She hysterically released her pain through a verbal war, but did not notice it at all. Opposite her, intern reporter Yang Jiaqi took all this with her mobile phone.
A small matter that only concerns public morality has become an "event" under the hard planning of Yang Jiaqi's boss Chen Ruoxi and has been on TV news.
In order to generate income from the TV station, a text message channel was even specially opened for the audience to discuss.
When the video was spread on the Internet, more netizens participated in the moral crusade against Ye Lanqiu with rare enthusiasm.
Netizens conducted human flesh searches, which would inevitably expose this "social scum" to the scorching sun.
Ye Lanqiu's privacy was searched one by one by one, and was published one by one...
It turns out that this beautiful woman has so many things to dig deep, it’s such a big treasure!
Ye Lanqiu was completely overwhelmed by her "once-night fame". No one cared about her explanation, no one cared about her anger and helplessness...
Her ending: Ye Lanqiu and Yang Shoucheng went to climb the mountain. At the top of the mountain, they met several college students who were on the outing. The college students recognized Ye Lanqiu as the woman referred to by thousands of people on the Internet, so they insulted her in every way.
Ye Lanqiu jumped down from the high cliff...
Using the method of "Crash", the main line is of course Ye Lanqiu, which uses the spread, fermentation and intensification of "network events" as the main line, from Ye Lanqiu's failure to let his seat become a hot topic, to the confirmation of the image of a third party, and then after his death...
After Ye Lanqiu chose to commit suicide, Chen Ruoxi became a new target of cyber attacks.
She was accused of being an unscrupulous media without moral bottom line. Her former "performance" became evidence of guilt, and her proud long reports became stains. As a result, Chen Ruoxi stood on the edge of the lake where Ye Lanqiu once stood...
In this drama, Lu Xiaoran simply cut off Chen Ruoxi's inspirational part - giving love to her boyfriend, hard work, and fighting for her dreams...
What are you doing? It’s so well-shaped, does Yao Chen have the right to change the script?
...
Ningbo is a little embarrassed. It is located in the economically developed region of the Yangtze River Delta. Although it is on the list, due to the underdeveloped tourism and high-tech industries, all the lights have been blocked by powerful cities such as Suzhou, Nanjing, Hangzhou and Shanghai.
I can also understand why I asked Teacher Lu to make a film to help promote it!
It is indeed quite beautiful, with a flat terrain, a wide view, good urban planning, modern buildings, and excellent city appearance.
There are many historical sites, and there are strong historical sense around Yuehu, as well as attractions such as Nantang Old Street and Gulou Street that blend historical and modern sense...
In the summer in Ningbo, the air is very humid and not dry at all, which is very suitable for shooting...
Shooting starts in early July, and shooting is completed in one month at the end of August...
Chapter completed!
