1490,Speak out loud about your summer vacation plans
Zhang Tan planned a love trilogy of movies, of which "Mo Di" has been released, "Heartbeat" has been completed, and only "Love Letter" has not yet been released.
A few days ago, he revised the script of "Love Letter" again, and then launched the project within the company.
Originally, his plan was to co-produce with Kucheng Film and Television, but now he plans to have Little Red Horse Film and Television solely produce it.
After the project is launched, the first task is to build a team and find the main creative personnel. First, the director and producer must be determined.
Zhang Tan is a screenwriter, former director, and now a company owner. He has experienced several important aspects of a movie from creation to production, but he has never been a producer.
This time he plans to be the producer himself and try to touch on all aspects of the film.
His first job was to find a director.
There are many capable directors, but not many are suitable for "Love Letter".
Zhang Tan thought about it a lot, made a list and wrote down three names.
From top to bottom, it's the order of priority.
The name at the front is Zheng Yongshun.
This director is in his 50s and is a leading figure in domestic literary and artistic films. He has won many film awards.
Zhang Tan felt that the other party was the most suitable person, so he asked someone to act as an intermediary to contact him, and then visited him personally.
Zheng Yongshun lived in Guangdong. After Zhang Tan made an appointment with him, he flew there. He took the flight at 6 a.m. and arrived at the appointed tea restaurant at 9 a.m.
They made an appointment to have breakfast together.
Zheng Yongshun is tall and thin, wears glasses, and has a somewhat slow personality.
"After a long journey, let's fill our stomachs first."
Zhang Tan smiled and said, "I happen to be hungry."
After saying that, he was not polite and ate the shrimp dumplings and wonton noodles on the table.
Zheng Yongshun didn't seem to like talking about work while eating, so he only chatted about home affairs with Zhang Tan. After eating, he took Zhang Tan to a teahouse, asked for a pot of Junshan Silver Needle, and talked about the project.
"Does Teacher Zheng have any thoughts on the script of "Love Letter"?" Zhang Tan asked.
"I've read it, and it's very good. Let's get straight to the point and say, I'm very willing to take over, but I need to have the power to adapt the script."
Zhang Tan paused and asked, "Are you dissatisfied with the script?"
"It's not that I'm dissatisfied, but I think it can be better, such as..."
Zhang Tan patiently listened to his story and discussed with each other, but found that the more the two discussed, the bigger and more differences they had.
No one can convince anyone.
Zheng Yongshun stopped talking, and Zhang Tan also fell silent. He picked up the tea cup in front of him, drank the tea in one gulp, and stood up to say goodbye.
Zheng Yongshun's eyes flickered and he wanted to say something, but in the end he just nodded and politely said "walk slowly."
After Zhang Tan left the teahouse, he immediately returned to Pujiang. It was a pity that the negotiation with Zheng Yongshun could not be completed. The two parties had differences in production concepts. If he was given the power to adapt the script, Zhang Tan guessed that the film would not be what he wanted.
The taste of "Love Letter".
He then contacted the second director. During the phone call, he discovered that he and the other director could not agree on the creative concept, so the project fell through.
The third director is Xie Canhong, a female director.
When Zhang Tan found her, she was in a hotel. She had just attended a cocktail party and heard that someone was looking for her. She hurried out to meet him, only to find that it was Zhang Tan.
"Looking for me to make a movie? What movie?" Xie Canhong was very surprised when she heard Zhang Tan's intention.
"It's called "Love Letter". Please read the script."
Zhang Tan handed her the printed script.
However, Xie Canhong just looked at the name on the cover and did not take it. Instead, she asked: "Do you know what I am doing here today?"
"I heard that I was attending a cocktail party."
Xie Canhong nodded and said: "Yes, to be precise, it is La Investment. I have a film project that I have been preparing for several years, but I have never had enough investment. I just found an opportunity today."
"Did you pull it?"
Xie Canhong said with some embarrassment: "I haven't found a chance to talk to that boss yet."
Zhang Tan smiled and said: "That's okay. You go and do your work first. We'll talk when it's over. I'll wait here."
Xie Canhong said: "Why don't you go back first? To be honest, I just want to complete my project and I have no time to think about other projects for the time being."
"Otherwise, you can keep the script and read it when you have time. If you have any ideas, you can call me."
"That's okay. Thank you for coming all the way to see me. Regardless of whether it's successful or not, I'm very grateful for thinking of a young director like me."
Xie Canhong calls herself a young director. She has not made many movies and has won awards, but she is still not well-known among the public. She is the kind of person who is powerful but very low-key.
Her movies are not very good at the box office, so it is very difficult to attract investment. No one wants to lose their investment.
Zhang Tan was not in a hurry and went back after saying goodbye.
When he got home, Teacher Jiang had already prepared dinner, and Xiaobai came over and told him to wash his hands and eat.
The four dishes and one soup seemed very light and nourishing for the stomach. Teacher Jiang lived in Pujiang for a semester, and the taste became more and more off-kilter. It was no longer as spicy as before.
This suited Zhang Tan's taste, but Xiao Bai was a little dissatisfied and howled.
"Children should not eat too much chili pepper, as it is bad for the stomach and intestines." Teacher Jiang educated Xiaobai.
"Oh~" Xiaobai buried her head in eating, then remembered the homework assigned by the teacher today, and told Zhang Tan that she would make her own summer vacation plan later.
The teacher arranged for them to record a video about their summer vacation plans, using the Little Red Horse Galloping APP. After recording, they sent it to the class group, and everyone asked for it.
This is popular now.
"You have to think about your summer vacation plans first." Zhang Tan reminded.
"I have already thought it through with Xiaomi," Xiaobai said confidently.
"Then what are your summer vacation plans? Tell me."
"I have to get up at seven o'clock every day, run 10 laps, and clean..."
The child was talking about his summer vacation plans. Zhang sighed and asked: What stimulation did this child have? It is so unrealistic. He can barely do it by getting up at seven o'clock. He can usually do it, but he just doesn't know if he can do it during the summer vacation.
Yes, as for running 10 laps, are you bragging? And...
Zhang Tan told her tactfully that planning must be achievable, and what cannot be done is not called planning.
"I know, I can do it. Hey, Liuliu called~~"
Liliu made a video call to discuss summer vacation plans, and her teacher also arranged the same arrangement.
"Liuliu, do you have any plans for your summer vacation?" Xiaobai asked.
At the other end of the video, Liuliu said confidently: "I have to get up at six o'clock every day, then run, run for a long time, and then come back to help Zhu's mother cook, clean, tell stories to the dolls, bathe, study...
…”
Before she could finish speaking, a burst of laughter suddenly broke out from the other end of the video, and the voice belonged to Zhu Xiaojing.
Luoliu was angry and turned back to glare at Zhu's mother.
Zhu Xiaojing tried her best to hold back her laughter and said: "I'm sorry, I really can't hold you back. You continue, you continue to speak out about your summer vacation plans, leave me alone, just pretend I don't exist, hahahaha."
