"Of course, when a movie is made, no matter how good it is, it still needs some effort in distribution, but this is the responsibility of our Lanyin Animation. Director Chen, tell me, a trilogy, each two and a half hours long,
Can this book provide so many plots? Also, if you start preparations this afternoon, how quickly can you complete the first part?" asked the old gangster.
It looks like there is something going on. Director Chen Da suppressed his joy and said: "The first part will be released by the end of next year. Thanks to the accumulation of the first part, one will be released every year in the future."
Damn it, "Lord of the Rings" will also start broadcasting next year. The visual effects of "Lord of the Rings" are certainly not as good as "Avatar", but the richness of the scenes in "Lord of the Rings" is greater than that of "The Swordsman". What should I do?
? Lan Yin’s production must be a high-quality product, and he must work hard on the screenwriting, so he said: "Director Chen, I am very sincere, let’s do this, two months in advance, you go to discuss with Master Huang, whether you find it yourself
If you are a good screenwriter, or use other methods, you must first be able to pass my test in screenwriting. In these three months, I will give you an upfront budget of 2 million US dollars. When you have a script that I am satisfied with, we will sign a filming agreement.
How about it? In addition, after returning to the villa for a while, we can determine some of the main roles, and we can use three months to finalize the actors!"
Two million U.S. dollars, which is a lot compared to RMB 17 million. Director Chen Da laughed and said: "Haha, since Boss Li is such a generous person, I would rather obey him than be respectful!"
Then the old gangster stopped talking about "The Great Swordsman" and started chatting with him about the Chinese film industry.
"Last year, China Film Group was established. Boss Li, if you want to get a share of China's film industry, you must have a good relationship with China Film Group. Haha, it is a state-owned enterprise, and of course it has the characteristics of a state-owned enterprise. If it is convenient for you, I
I can recommend Mr. Han Sanping to you," Director Chen Da said.
Seeing the old gangster nodding, Director Chen Da added: "China Film Group controls half of China's theater resources and has the only qualification to import and export films. Lan Yin Animation must cooperate with it in the final film distribution!"
The old gangster smiled and said: "That's right, in order to promote this "The Great Sword Master", I will open a branch of Lan Yin Animation in the United States and recruit some professionals there.
The animation staff worked together to cooperate with Director Chen in filming this film in order to gain priority in entering the European and American markets!"
"Boss Li, if this is the case, with your investment of 600 million U.S. dollars, I think you don't need Lan Yin Animation to invest, you can bring in one or several film companies in the United States. In this way, they will contribute the money, and finally
I will definitely help you and provide their theater resources to show our movies." Director Chen Da said.
"Okay, this is a good suggestion. The domestic part will cooperate with China Film Group Corporation, and the foreign part will cooperate with Disney or Warner Brothers," the old gangster said.
After talking about this topic, the old gangster said happily: "Haha, Director Chen, what do you think of your colleagues, Mr. Lao Mouzi and Mr. Xiaogang?"
Director Chen Da laughed loudly: "Well, we admire each other and even compete with each other!"
"Well, currently, the only movies that China can get abroad and get good results are you and Lao Mouzi's movies. Xiaogang is also good, but his Chinese-style warmth and humor can only be seen in China. Haha, let's make a show of it in China.
, it’s awesome! As for me, on the one hand, I invest in movies to make money, and on the other hand, I also want to realize my dreams..."
Director Chen Da nodded and said sadly: "There are too few people with money, ideas and dreams nowadays! Haha, I can only dream. Good ideas are rare, and even less money!"
"Haha, if a great director in the United States makes a movie, he will not have to worry about it in the next life. Haha, Director Chen, if you don't let Sister Chen be the prodigal daughter, and this "The Great Sword Master" is completed, I will guarantee that you will have nothing to worry about in the next life.
Worry!" the old gangster joked.
"Haha, Xiao Chen? Don't tell me, she really spent almost all the money I earned." Director Chen Da said happily.
...
Inside the car of Miss Yang;
The topic was different again, Miss Yang was stretching out her white wrist;
As for Miss Chen, she fiddled with the string of jade bracelets and ruby bracelets on Miss Yang's wrist and said, "It's really good. Red and green are also very romantic. Nowadays, everyone likes to wear amber and jade bracelets, platinum and
There are too few diamonds.”
Miss Chen saw the string of jade beads around Miss Yang's neck again and said with a smile: "Fei'er, this must be quite expensive. I saw Rosamund Kwan spend nearly 20 million Hong Kong dollars at an auction a few years ago.
, but her string of beads has more beads than yours, and the beads are a little smaller. Although your beads are fewer, they are bigger and of better quality."
Beautiful women are sympathetic to each other. As soon as they got in the car, the two women started chatting affectionately. You called me "Fei'er" and I called you "Sister Hong".
As an actress, Miss Chen has a childlike heart. Although she is 32 years old, she looks young and looks like she is in her mid-twenties. But what about Miss Yang? She looks like she is twenty-one or twenty-two.
It seems that the age gap is not big.
"Well, Sister Hong, this is a gift from Yifan from Tengchong, hehe, a boss Ma who makes jade. Hehe, if you like it, Yifan also has a big violet in his hand, and I will make one for you.
Jewelry!" Beauty Yang began to betray her husband's interests.
Beauty Chen smiled and said: "Really? I'm giving away more than 20 million jade, so Yifan must have a good relationship with that boss!"
"I'm not sure. Well, compared to diamonds and metals, I now prefer jade and jade." Miss Yang said.
"Well, when you tell me, I feel the same way!" said Miss Chen.
After arranging a suite on the first floor for Director Chen Da and his wife, they found that there were not enough guest rooms. So, Xiao Xunqi happily occupied the remaining suite on the first floor and vacated the guest room. The cousin had already been sent to the airport by Qu's bodyguard.
, he also had a guest room available, so that the arrangements were complete.
Director Chen Da's current villa in the capital is of course not as luxurious as the old gangster's. Director Chen Da and his wife are of course very happy to live in the old gangster's big villa. The conditions here seem to be better than those in a five-star hotel.
Be good.
The sun sets in the west, shining on every part of the large villa in the suburbs, and occasionally there is a breeze;
"Yifan, your place is really nice. You can see the golf course over there. Tomorrow, haha, how about we go play?" Sitting in the pavilion, looking at the small bridge and flowing water around the pavilion, as well as the small red fish in the water
, Director Chen Da laughed.
The old gangster scratched his head and said, "I'm not afraid of making fun of myself. I'm not very familiar with this job. I rarely even play on the tennis court that comes with the villa!"
Director Chen Da looked at his body shape and said: "I can't tell, you should be an athletic person!"
"Haha, you guessed it right. No one in the school can beat me in the 100 meters, shot put and long jump. I have a special training method, so I usually take up a lot of time instead of focusing on training. Tennis or golf or something!”
When Director Chen Da saw the women coming over, he smiled and said, "I've been worrying about the role of Lant recently!"
"If that doesn't work, Lant will find a mixed-race person, someone with Chinese ancestry will be fine, and he will play the role. But we can use animation to make his temperament more like the protagonist!" said the old gangster.
"This? Yifan, can you tell me how to deal with it?" Director Chen Da said when he saw his secretary sit down and opened his briefcase.
"Well, wait a moment!" After saying that, he said to Miss Yang, "Go to my study and take down my laptop!"
Miss Yang left, Miss Chen, Secretary Shen, and Director Chen's secretary all sat down.
The old gangster now has art skills, but his skills are far inferior to that of the little girl, so he started calling his aunt again;
When Miss Yang arrived with her computer bag, her aunt was already in her seat.
"This is our company's vector three-dimensional animation production software. It is the company's bread and butter. It is absolutely confidential. However, I will not do animation today. I will design the image of Rand in my mind for you. You can each express your opinion." The old gangster said.
Then, in everyone's surprise, the old gangster quickly moved the mouse and keyboard.
Its speed is at least two to three times that of ordinary people. In the meantime, some lines are continuously drawn on the computer screen, and then colored and rendered...
In less than three minutes, a young man with a plump forehead, handsome face and a free and easy smile came out.
"Well, he's not pretty, not very handsome, but he has a charming temperament, especially his eyes, which are a little melancholy, a little cunning, and a little rogue." Miss Chen analyzed.
"If it didn't reflect the original work, I wouldn't want to make him have melancholy eyes." said the old gangster.
At this time, Miss Yang also pursed her lips in admiration;
Director Chen Da said: "Based on your overall image, it's probably impossible to find a well-known actor in China. If you want to find one, I think you have to go to the film school or drama school to audition to see if you can find a suitable one. But in this way, Promoting newcomers, especially leading actors, may have some impact on box office sales!"
"Well, regardless of the box office, haha, how to choose the characters, tonight, I will design the main image in the form of three-dimensional animation. Then you will also express your opinions, and we will modify and improve it together." The old gangster said.
"Haha, Yifan, may I ask, which role did you tell me last time?" This is the question that Miss Chen is most concerned about.
"Haha, what do you think? This decision should be made by Director Chen. I only give suggestions, or if I see something that is not suitable, I can reject it. What do you think? Director Chen?" said the old gangster.
Director Chen Da laughed and said: "It's usually like this. As for Xiao Chen's role, haha, I have to start from the beginning!"
After saying that, he discussed with his wife in the small villa in the capital about deleting the characters. The old gangster nodded and said: "You are right, there are too many female characters. Haha, in the end there were 19 characters. Wife, I feel incredible."
At this time, Miss Yang pursed her lips, lowered her head, and laughed in embarrassment.
Of course the old gangster knew his wife's mood, and he smiled and said: "If you surpass Wei Xiaobao, it will probably be difficult to be accepted by TV audiences, let alone movies? Director Chen thought well! The most beautiful girl in The Shining, Cai Rou, is a must.
The witch, Xiqi and the princess become one, and Master Xiuli and Princess Liqing can certainly become one. The witch can die, but her death is not a real death. It can be said that she falls into a deep sleep. She will die one day.
Wake up again. Well, the priestess and painter of the Pure Land can also be combined into one, but this will be a tragic character, a character who was murdered by the Great Head... As for the male characters, Lant is the protagonist, The Shining
The big man giant spirit and the sand bandit leader Zhanhen, as well as the young generals Hongqing and Long Teng of the Pure Land, the high priest Tianyan of the Pure Land, etc. These male characters should be more fleshed out. Haha, if it is made into a movie, Cairou cannot be a giant spirit.
You can’t play your friend’s wife, you can set her as the sister of the giant spirit..."
At this time, Director Chen Da laughed and said: "Yifan, there are really three cobblers who are equal to one Zhuge Liang. This way, when everyone discusses it, it will look even better."
The old gangster waved his hand and said: "I'm not professional enough in screenwriting, so I have to hire professionals. We just have to figure out the direction. As for Duchess Niya, we can finally make her the queen of the Pure Land, or the high priest, for the sake of the Pure Land
As for his future, he gave up love. As for Lant, let Cairou accompany him alone in the end. Since he is a great swordsman, he must have the demeanor of a master. Haha, but we can set Cairou and Lant to ride on each other.
They left under the falling snow. The duchess stood in the castle and watched them leave. Haha, the duchess cannot give up everything for love! Being monogamous is in line with the mainstream values of the world. Haha, don’t look at me like this, I don’t belong to the mainstream.
of!"
After the old gangster finished speaking, Miss Yang gave him a sideways look.
Everyone else laughed.
Miss Chen said: "Well, monogamy is fine! Hehe, but I wonder if Master Huang agrees? 19 people become one!"
After the basic roles were finalized, everyone put down their work and came to the swimming pool to watch the little girls playing underwater. Beauty Chen smiled and said: "Yifan, why do I think this is a country of girls?"
"Haha, if you are not a romantic person, you will waste your youth!" Director Chen Da said.
The old gangster scratched his head and said, "All men go out to work to earn money to support their families. Only women and girls idle around every day!"
Wang Zixuan went back to her villa in Qujiang today because Old Man Wang and his family from Shiqing came.
Miss Chen said: "You are seriously sexist!"
The next afternoon, with the basic character image designed by the old gangster overnight, a preliminary contract was signed. Director Chen took 2 million U.S. dollars and the group rushed back to the capital.
After putting the group on the plane, the old gangster said to Miss Yang, "How about it? You don't have to meet Zixuan's father first, but I have to meet him."
