In addition to Yang Yu, several Tianze directors and relevant executives gathered in Tangze's office.
Tang Ze distributed the project copy that had been prepared.
"Everyone, take a look at our new project."
"Time is tight this year, and Tianze is not fully prepared in many aspects, so other projects can be prepared slowly, mainly "Good Will Hunting"."
"The TV series "The Beginning" and the variety show "The Voice of China" can wait until I finish filming the movie before starting filming."
"If I have extra time, I will participate in both projects."
"As for "People on the Road", Xu Zheng, you should be busy, right?"
Xu Zheng nodded confidently: "I plan to give myself one year to film this movie, no problem at all!"
"That's good!" Tang Ze nodded, and Xu Zheng was paying attention.
After coming to the company, apart from practicing with short films, Xu Zheng spent the rest of the time preparing for this movie, and Tang Ze saw all this.
Don’t think that the early preparations are too long. No one like Tangze can record every shot in his mind.
The average director needs to spend a lot of time imagining the shooting scene, adapting it to the photography skills, and then drawing it into usable sub-shots.
The more detailed the shots, the better the movie will be shot.
Tang Ze can help Xu Zheng draw the storyboards.
But in that case, what’s the point of Tianze training directors?
At most, he can help them learn to complete scene design in their own style more quickly.
Once they get used to making movies, drawing storyboards will become easy and fast.
After a while, seeing that everyone had almost finished reading, Tang Ze looked up at everyone and said, "Have you roughly finished reading? Just tell me what you think!"
Lao Wu was the first to speak: "Mr. Tang, you plan to finish shooting "Good Will Hunting" before April, which is less than two months from now. Isn't it too late?"
He knows that Tang Ze also has to take care of the "Welcome to the Capital" MV. Currently only Tang Ze and him know about this.
But the time is too short. How many nights will Tang Ze have to stay up during this period?
Tang Ze shook his head and did not hide his plan from everyone: "40 days of shooting and 25 days of post-production, a total of 65 days, and the finished film must be produced by May at the latest."
"With the speed at which I make films, it's not that fast. I won't rush to make a movie and lose quality."
"If I didn't have to participate in the Cannes Film Festival, and I had to polish the details to suit the judges, I could have finished the film faster."
"Cannes Film Festival?"
Everyone exclaimed, especially several directors who were a little excited.
As long as you are a director, who doesn’t want to win a few awards?
Not to mention, awards from the three major European international film festivals represent one of the most coveted honors for directors.
Wen Yishi suppressed his mood and said: "Mr. Tang, are you just trying your luck, or..."
Tang Ze raised his hand to stop him from continuing: "Why would I do such a waste of time?"
"My goal can only be the biggest award, the Palme d'Or!"
Tang Ze looked at Wen Yi with a smile: "Or do you have no confidence in me?"
Lao Wu was the quickest to express his loyalty: "Mr. Tang, I have never doubted you!"
"No, no, no!" Others waved their hands quickly.
Guo Fan swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva and pretended to be calm: "Fifteen years have passed since Farewell My Concubine won the Palme d'Or in 1993."
"For fifteen years, too many domestic filmmakers have failed at Cannes."
"Some of them have been making movies for decades. Is it really okay for us to win awards at such a young age?"
Xu Zheng said with a smile: "Do you really believe in Mr. Tang? Do you think you can win the award before you even start?"
Guo Fan nodded solemnly: "Who doesn't hope that Chinese people can win another award?"
"Whether others believe it or not, I have always believed that sooner or later, Chinese people will be able to win all the international film festival awards."
"Moreover, even if Mr. Tang does not get the award this year, I believe that Mr. Tang will definitely get it one day in the future."
Wen Yishi nodded quickly: "I believe it too. I think "Don't Stop the Camera!" is worthy of winning the Jury Prize."
Tang Ze pointed at Wen Yi and Guo Fan in a funny way: "Okay, okay, you think I can't hear that you are praising me on the surface, but actually I still don't believe it in my heart."
"But whether you believe it or not, you have to do it. Once you do it well, leave the result to God!"
Guo Fan, Wen Yi is a little embarrassed. Did you pat the horse on the horse's hoof?
But Tangze was right, deep down in their hearts, it was hard for them to believe it.
After all, so many famous directors, including Zhang Yimou and the award-winning Chen Kaige, have been repeatedly dismissed from the Palme d'Or.
Although Karasawa is a genius, he is old enough and lacks experience and polish in literary films.
Box office movies and award-winning movies are so different that they have no similarities at all.
However, they also heard the implication of Karasawa's words, that they would be the assistant directors of "Good Will Hunting".
Tangze continued: "You don't have that much free time. After filming "Good Will Hunting", you still have other tasks."
"After all, I said, if your short film can win an international award, or if Youku has more than 20 million views, I will give you a film project."
"Although it's not finished yet, it's still half done. I'll let you take charge of a big project to get some exercise."
"Variety shows, TV series, pick one each!"
"Don't be dissatisfied with the lack of technical content in these two things. I may be involved in the whole process. If you don't do it well, I will replace you!"
"Guaranteed to complete the task!"
Wen Yi, Guo Fan has long wanted to prove himself, so he won't dislike what he shoots.
As long as it is a Tianze project, they will be considered as contributing their part.
Otherwise, they would still feel a little guilty about having nothing to eat in Tianze.
They had always envied Yang Yu before, now it’s Yang Yu’s turn to envy them, right?
The plan has been decided, and the two of them discussed it separately.
Wen Yishi said: "Although the script of "The Beginning" is a bit fantasy, it still focuses on character creation and plot advancement. I am good at both, so I will make a TV series."
"But, Mr. Tang, we have to start so many projects, do we have enough funds?"
Tang Ze nodded: "Then Guo Fan will film variety shows."
"As for the funds, you don't have to worry about it. You just need to complete your respective tasks with your heart."
Next, Tang Ze discussed the specific process of several projects with everyone, and then disbanded.
Xu Zheng's "People on an Unfortunate Road" is easy to talk about, and the shots are well drawn. In terms of shooting, he is actually more at ease.
But Wen Yi, Guo Fan has never been in charge of the production of a big project, so he needs to pay more attention.
In addition to helping them manage the situation with personnel, he also gave them some specific performance indicators.
If you fail to meet his requirements, you will be criticized.
In the previous life, "The Voice of China" had taken away the popularity and luck of "Happy Boys" since its birth.
Among many music programs, "The Voice of China" is definitely the most popular one.
Originally, "The Voice of the Netherlands" was the originator of the voice.
But "The Voice of the Netherlands" only came out in 2010, so Karasawa is the first to do so and has no other concerns.
As a pioneer, it’s not too much to get some bonuses, right?
Therefore, his request for Guo Fan was not to mention directly topping all music programs, but at least not to be worse than "Happy Boys".
The production cost of this type of variety show is difficult to define. Generally, it does not cost much in the early stage. It depends on the weight of the invited guests.
Tang Ze's upper limit for the cost of "The Voice of China" is 40 million yuan. It is not much less than the 60 million yuan production cost of the first phase of the previous life.
After all, celebrity remuneration and labor costs at that time were simply incomparable to today.
"The Beginning", because the scenes are concentrated on buses, also falls into the low-cost category, so Karasawa set a maximum production cost of 15 million.
As a typical example of low-cost and big-hit hits in later generations, it reached the top immediately after it was broadcast.
In just 15 episodes, the average number of views exceeded 100 million, and the entire network exceeded 1.5 billion.
With such results, it shouldn't be too difficult to get ratings that break 2 or 3.
Looking ahead to the high ratings, we can’t say he is greedy.
After all, this year and next should be regarded as the final peak of ratings.
For example, "The Legend of Bruce Lee" has an average rating of 11.25% this year, and "The Legend of Bruce Lee" will have an average rating of 9.6% next year.
Even in the past few years, it would have been ranked at the top.
Over the next ten years or so, the ratings of TV dramas have been declining day by day, and it is difficult to even break 5.
It's a pity that most of these high-rating TV series have either started filming or have completed some preliminary preparations, so he can't film them.
Moreover, only by cooperating with the central government can the ratings reach over 10.
