Before Tang Ze could figure out what Lao Wu meant.
The other side continued: "I knew that with your ability, sir, how could you possibly settle down and plan to enter the entertainment industry? It's too cheap. After reading the script you sent me, I finally understood your intention." ...If the price drops, the price will drop. Whatever I like, Tang Ze asked expressionlessly: "What's the purpose?"
"Curve Invasion!"
The voice on the other side was sonorous and powerful:
"Grandpa has always said that you are the real master of this world. When you wake up, it will be time for it to surrender."
"I'm really ashamed. I never understood it before, but now I know that you plan to lock down the spiritual culture of the world first. When they can't live without your movies, you will reveal the truth and rule the world naturally, right?"<
/p>
"And by the time they realized it, it was too late, and they discovered that you had already laid the groundwork for this movie from the very beginning."
"Well..." Tang Ze felt the turmoil in the wind.
No wonder the Wu family has not produced any big bosses for generations. With this situation, there are already too many people asking for help.
What kind of understanding of him did the ancestors of the Wu family who initially followed the original owner instill in their descendants?
Rule the world? Big devil?
After being speechless for a long time, Tang Ze said perfunctorily: "Okay, just know what you know and don't publicize it everywhere. Help me register a film production company first. The actor's matter is not urgent."
"Okay, sir, what's the name of the company?"
"Don't call me Lao Lao Lao from now on. Since you don't want to call me by my name, just call me Mr. Tang. You can temporarily act as my agent...and secretary. As for the company...just call me Tianze, please."
Lucky!"
"Understood!"
It's comfortable, and having someone who can take care of things... can be entrusted to me, makes things a lot easier.
Just when Tang Ze was about to hang up, he quickly said:
"Old...Mr. Tang, I have a niece, Mo Lin, who is the student of archaeologist Liu Jin in this movie, and I think the image is quite suitable. She happens to have had the idea of entering the entertainment industry since she was a child. You see..."
In the original version, Mo Lin was not only Liu Jin's student, but also his lover. Tang Ze removed it here because he did not want to cause unnecessary trouble, and it did not affect the plot.
"What's your niece's name?"
"Her name is Wu Qian."
"Okay, you can figure it out. Now that I've left it to you, you can rest assured."
After hanging up the phone number, Tangze fell into deep thought.
Wu Qian... was he thinking of the Wu Qian who, after more than ten years, had risen all the way with her aura of character, had not yet reached the bottleneck, but started to decline because of her secret marriage with Zhang Yuyan and the birth of a daughter?<
/p>
He actually felt pity for her at that time. Although the images played by Wu Qian were relatively fixed and single, they were all likeable and distinctive. To this day, he can still recall the image of each character——
Luoluo, the generous Luoluo, the charming and cute little fox demon...
If everything goes smoothly, the future will be promising.
When the time comes, it will not be impossible to win a "Four Little Girls".
But she was not considered a performer, and she could only fight for those few years, because she gradually lost her marriage.
What's even more regrettable is that less than a year after they both admitted that they were married and had a daughter, they officially announced their divorce.
This shows that an engagement is not a cemetery, but a crematorium for celebrities.
……
That night.
After making the decision to film, Tang Ze and Ning Hao gathered in a room to play cards and talk as part of their farewell.
The five people cherished each other and expressed their feelings.
And Wang Baoyi will have a movie soon, but he won't be able to stay for long.
After tonight, I didn’t say I would stop contacting you in the future, but we are both busy, so it’s hard to say when the next gathering will be.
The next day.
He caught up with Han Sanping who had not yet boarded the flight back to Beijing, gave him the script and the already completed storyboard, and explained his intention to leave the crew.
Han Sanping also had no objection. Letting Tang Ze go to Ning Hao's crew was not only to train him, but also because it was easier for young people to communicate and there was no intention to restrict Tang Ze.
Moreover, when he became the assistant director of the "Crazy Racing" crew, Karasawa did not sign a contract at all.
In fact, he didn't have to report it to Han Sanping, but he still did it to express his gratitude to Han Sanping for his attention.
Han Sanping was also very happy because of Tangze's behavior, and asked with a smile while reading the script:
"Why do you want to make online movies? The current Internet environment is not good. Piracy and blurred picture quality cannot be solved overnight, and charging is simply impossible."
Tang Ze opened his eyes and lied: "I know, I don't want to make any big money, it's more for exercise. I just can't stay idle and earn some advertising fees."
He added confidently: "Furthermore, as the first real online movie in name, there should be a lot of interested people. In addition, this is a modern film, which can attract many advertisers to sponsor it."
"At the same time, in the name of a Chinese science fiction film, I think this is more attractive than the first online movie. As long as word of mouth can spread, it will definitely be a hit."
Han Sanping was slightly moved, and almost made the decision right away—it would go to theaters after filming.
But he restrained himself well.
However, he did not reply, but instead briefly immersed himself in the dialogue, which was full of dialogue but very interesting and thoughtful.
Seeing that the script attracted Han Sanping, Tang Ze was relieved.
Although Ning Hao and the others had already read the script and expressed their agreement with it, at the end of the day, it seemed that they had to win the approval of the "big shot" in order to be more confident.
Han Sanping.
Needless to say.
As the chairman of China View, he holds the power of life and death over whether to introduce imported films, and has the right to advise whether domestic films can be released to a certain extent. At the same time, he also owns more than 50% of the theater chains in the country. p>
He can definitely be considered a very big person.
As for Han Sanping, this version of "This Man Comes from Earth" is actually slightly different from the original version.
In order to prevent the audience from being confused, Tang Ze used the narration from the beginning to lay the groundwork through a series of rhetorical questions that subvert the audience's common sense.
And the lines in it have been adapted based on the original owner's experience, which makes them more realistic, at least logically, and some of the remaining traces of his past can even be found online.
For example, following the Buddha's narrative was changed to having a long conversation with the Buddha all night long, talking about philosophy and life, explaining why he no longer wanted to be an emperor, which led to his "sudden enlightenment", which indirectly led to the peak of later Buddhist culture.
Although the introduction of narration will greatly reduce the surprise of watching the entire movie, at least it will be more interesting. As long as it can retain more viewers, it will be worth it.
Only after watching this kind of movie will you feel that it is worth the money.
At the same time, during the official filming, he will ask Lao Wu to draw some illustrations that match the scenes in the male protagonist's words, thereby deepening the movie-watching experience.
There is no way around this. Now when watching videos online, if the duration is short, you can cache them while watching, but if the duration is too long, you have to download them, which requires a lot of traffic.
In the current era of expensive traffic, if you fail to attract viewers at the beginning, you may lose many users once word of mouth drives it.
The loss of users means a reduction in Karaze’s advertising share.
A quarter of an hour later, after reading the script, Han Sanping couldn't help but sigh: "Young people have imagination, and there is this type of science fiction. Is this a new type? I haven't seen such movies abroad.
”
"Probably, it's just that young people are more open-minded." Tang Ze said modestly.
Han Sanping smiled: "There is no need to be modest. I have seen many top students from the University of Southern California and the University of New York. Those with your level are definitely rare."
He added: "But the most praiseworthy thing about you is that you have chosen the right direction. I don't know if the online broadcast will have a strong response, but it is indeed not suitable for theaters. Throughout the dialogue, it is estimated that 90% of the audience
I won’t be able to hold on.”
He also breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he restrained his impulse. Every Chinese has a soft spot for domestic science fiction, but that refers to images, not dialogue.
Of course, costume blockbusters are his favorite.
Tang Ze nodded, $5,472 is enough to explain the problem.
"What's your initial budget? How long do you plan to shoot."
"100,000, of which 50,000 is actor's salary and 50,000 is producer. I work part-time as other crew members. The filming was completed in 10 days. After all, there are not many scenes."
Han Sanping raised his head and said: "I guess we haven't found all the actors yet? In this way, I will help you find the actors who are not available, and they will appear for free, and you can just concentrate on preparing the specific matters."
"This... the protagonist Tang De and student Mo Lin have been selected." Tang Ze hesitated.
He was temporarily hesitant about whether he should play Tang De himself, because he could play the feeling of loneliness better than anyone else, as if he was alone in the world.
In fact, the original owner's state of mind has been affecting him, and he only needs to release that state of mind.
But if he were to act, he would have to find an assistant director to assist him, otherwise the filming would not be completed in 10 days.
Fortunately, this movie is not very difficult, otherwise it would be a complete fantasy without a complete crew to direct and star in it.
Han Sanping said cheerfully: "Then it's decided. In fact, there are many actors who want to film but have no roles to film."
"Okay, thank you in advance for Director Han's appreciation in advance!" Tang Ze thought that Han Sanping would find some young actors and didn't care. Apart from Wu Qian who was determined, Lao Wu could stop looking for other jobs.
It's just that although I am very grateful to Han Sanping for his attention, it seems that I owe someone a favor?
Alas!
I'm afraid that many of the movies made in the future will have medium-range productions.
Han Sanping smiled and pressed Tang Ze's shoulder: "Haha, you're welcome. Since you are willing to take the initiative to return to China, I know that you are different from others. There are not many foreign Chinese who are willing to give up the luxurious life abroad."
Tang Ze's identity information has been clearly checked long ago——
He grew up in an orphanage and was later sponsored by the Williams family to attend school. During this period, he was able to make ends meet by studying and working part-time, and later graduated from the University of Southern California with honors.
Even the ancestral relationship between the deceased parents is intact, and there is no suspicion of being a spy. At the same time, there is no stain or crime on him.
This example alone can be regarded as a typical propaganda that the motherland is strong and allows high-end talents to actively return home.
However, review is a process, and it cannot be decided by just one or two people.
After finalizing the casting details, the matter was settled.
The next step was to cooperate with Lao Wu La's advertiser for sponsorship. He felt that the other party's career as a university teacher should be over, and he could not always ask for leave every three days.
However, before Tang Ze could contact him, Wu Jianming came over with his niece.
