As we all know, making a movie is not an easy task.
After returning to Paradise Entertainment and chatting with professionals, Gu Yun roughly understood the basic process from shooting a movie to being released to theaters.
At the company's internal meeting, a group of people analyzed the feasibility of the entire process of filming the movie on the spot, and each put forward their own opinions.
1. Script and funds: First of all, you must have a script or a story idea. Once you have the script, go to investors. If you are a film and television company, you can invest in movies. You can also just have a story idea. You can find investors based on the story idea.
Screenwriter and then complete the script.
Paradise Entertainment can solve most of this problem by itself without looking for investors. Gu Yun can complete the script with the help of a professional screenwriter.
2. Project approval: Go to the superior authority to establish the project. Project approval requires a story outline and proof of funds. Pay attention to two points here: First, special themes require a complete script review, while ordinary themes require a story outline.
Second, the proof of funds must be no less than one-third of the film's shooting cost in the project company's account before the film can be approved. This must be filled out by yourself when reporting the shooting costs. After the film is approved, you will get a shooting license.
I am qualified to make movies.
This is not a problem for Paradise Entertainment’s upcoming movie. “Young You” is a story about youth and growth. It is not a special subject, and the review is not complicated.
3. Shooting: After you have the script and investment, you can discuss the main creative, director, actors, costumes, cameraman, video recorder, etc. After these discussions, you can almost build a crew and start shooting.
4. Post-production: After the filming of the film is completed, post-production, sound, picture, special effects, and editing need to be done. Only when these are completed can the film be truly completed.
Gu Yun plans to keep these two points intact. Except for the adjustment of the male and female protagonists, everyone else will invite actors from the original work, and strive to restore the billion-dollar box office blockbuster in the previous life. Even if he has achieved his goal.
5. Submission for review: After the production of the film is completed, it is sent to the superior department for content review. After the content review is passed, the film will undergo final packaging, such as ending subtitles, title titles, etc. After completing these, a technical review will be conducted. After the technical review is passed, the film will be submitted for review.
Only after the film has passed the censorship.
6. Publicity and distribution: After the film is completed, you can contact and finalize the publicity and distribution company (in fact, the publicity and distribution company can be determined before the filming of a large project), determine the approximate schedule, and enter the publicity and distribution period.
7. Release: The film will be released when the schedule is reached. The box office account will be distributed from the distribution company 3-6 months after the film is released. At this point, a film as a project is finally completed.
.
The last three points were basically a simple process and were not a problem at all. After Gu Yun took out the draft script, he quickly reached an agreement with the management of Paradise Entertainment and successfully approved the project. Cheng Yingying came forward to invite relevant personnel to participate in the filming.
There is a famous saying in the entertainment industry.
If you sing well, you will act; if you act well, you will direct; if you direct well, you will steal (tax evasion).
Now that our popular little girl has entered the film and television industry, the whole company is naturally applauding and praising her and working together.
The only thing that raises some questions is that the script has a layman's involvement. Can this thing make money?
But amid the money offensive, no one publicly raised any doubts.
After all, the company belongs to others, so even if you don’t want to make money and are just taking pictures for fun, there is nothing to say.
It wasn't until Paradise Entertainment contacted Zeng Guoxiang, the director personally selected by Gu Yun, that he read the script handed over by Paradise Entertainment. Zeng Guoxiang, who was already well-known, made the decision immediately without saying a word.
"I made this film!"
"Director Zeng, don't you need to look at it again?"
"No need to read it, this book will work. I believe in my own vision."
"This is a good movie that can change society."
Only then did everyone realize from Zeng Guoxiang’s few words that Gu Yun’s script really had something to it?
With the participation of well-known directors, the selection of actors is naturally not a problem, and the relevant supporting personnel will soon be in place.
If you don't consider losing money, if you want to make a movie and go to theaters, the most important condition is money. Once you have money, everything else will be easy.
After the team was formed, the staff of Paradise Entertainment and the crew of "Young You" organized a celebration banquet.
Paradise Entertainment's film and television transformation project - "Young You" project is officially launched!
Not only was Shen Qingcheng overjoyed that her dream had come true, but Cheng Yingying who was accompanying her also got drunk. In the end, it was Gu Yun who personally took the initiative and sent the two wobbly girls back to the villa.
"We are investors. No one is forcing you to drink. Why are you two drinking so much?"
Along the way, Shen Qingcheng and Cheng Yingying did not dare to ride in the car for fear of vomiting in the bumps. Gu Yun held the two girls who had finished the entertainment with one hand and couldn't help but keep complaining.
His personal philosophy of drinking is to drink for yourself. As long as you drink to a comfortable critical state, you can stop.
As a boss, Gu Yun himself would never force people to drink. He would only laugh and tease his friends who escaped from drinking for being immoral.
If Gu Yun sees that the other person really doesn't want to drink, just let him drink water.
Two generations of people, if someone talks to Gu Yun about the culture of the wine table, such as if you respect me after drinking, you have to drink to see me as a brother, otherwise you are not a brother, brother, you must drink this cup...
He usually only has two words in his mind: "Idiot."
So when he saw two of his girls drinking like this, he suddenly felt distressed.
"Mr. Gu, you are the big boss, you don't have to drink, but we certainly can't."
The evening breeze blew by, and Cheng Yingying woke up a lot, with a wry smile on her lips.
"There are so many crew members and celebrities present, making toasts, holding back drinks, and watching people's behavior. How can such entertainment go unnoticed?"
"Yingying is right, I don't have enough coffee seats. If you don't drink on such occasions, you are disrespectful."
Shen Qingcheng held Gu Yun's arm with both hands and added, "Don't be unhappy. I'm not a child anymore. It's time to learn to be mature."
While chatting, we happened to walk to the place where we live.
What kind of maturity is this?
Along the way, Gu Yun didn't say a word, just silently helping the two of them move forward. It was obvious that he was very unhappy.
Alcohol is just a tool that makes people more relaxed. It can reduce the laughter and improve the atmosphere. You can drink it as long as you feel comfortable and just drink it for yourself.
He hoped that the people around him would have the same attitude towards drinking.
When chatting and drinking, you need to know how to speak, divert conflicts at the drinking table, and let others drink with each other; when drinking games, you need to know what the winning strategy is for each game, not because of the rules of the drinking table or workplace routines.
There is no such thing as forcing people to drink when they are a mature visitor to a wine shop.
If you drink, you must drink because you want to.
But now someone told him that this was the maturity they understood, and he couldn't help but laugh.
Gu Yun opened the door, helped the two girls to rest on the sofa, brought two glasses of warm water,
"Don't listen to that. Maturity in the adult world is more of a compromise. Only when you admit your own incompetence can you mature."
"You don't need this kind of maturity at all."
"Because of my efforts, I just want you to become children who do whatever you want."
