The framing issue is indeed the biggest problem for this movie.
After Li Qing told Jiang Chendong this idea, Jiang Chendong was at a loss. If he invested in building a small community by himself, it would cost too much money. He thought about it, and suddenly his eyes lit up: "I can call and ask.
A good friend of mine travels around all year round and has a relatively deep understanding of this aspect."
After saying that, Jiang Chendong couldn't wait to take out his mobile phone, check the phone book, and then made a call in front of Li Qing.
While Jiang Chendong was chatting with the other party, Li Qing learned that the other end of the phone was a CEO of a listed company in the south with a net worth of over one billion.
When Li Qing saw this scene, he had some thoughts in his heart.
Connections, information.
If Hanhai wants to grow bigger and stronger, it goes without saying that it needs to have connections, and it must be sufficient, and relevant intelligence is even more important.
Take Hornet Culture for example. To this day, Li Qing doesn't know who is supporting Mu Guiying behind her.
If he had mastered this information, Li Qing would naturally be able to provide countermeasures, instead of being publicly provoked by Mu Guiying like before, arranging the premiere of "Across the Pacific" directly to the screening room next door to his own, and also
Many famous film critics and actors were lured away from him, which made Li Qing feel very uncomfortable.
If the "water army tactics" hadn't worked, the box office of "Westward Journey" might have been crushed by "Across the Pacific".
It can be said that a surprise victory was achieved.
Most of the top 500 foreign companies have their own intelligence networks, but few in China pay attention to relevant information. Li Qing does not want to wait until he becomes bigger and stronger to always be taken first, or even stabbed in the back.
And looked around blankly.
After all, not every crisis can be solved by relying on your own prediction and foresight.
Therefore, it is urgent to start establishing an intelligence department.
"Say hello."
At this time, Jiang Chendong closed the phone and said with a smile: "There are many mature street communities like this in the country. According to the description in the script, Truman's World is an island surrounded by a sea. This kind of place can only be found along the coast.
Area search."
Li Qing said in surprise: "Is there a suitable place?"
Jiang Chendong smiled and said: "The most suitable one should be Gulong Island."
When Li Qing heard this, he immediately checked it on the Internet.
Soon, the results will be displayed.
From the satellite map, Gulong Island looks like a palm-sized pancake. There are high-quality hospitals and schools on the island, and it is a mature and complete living community.
Moreover, the scenery of Gulongyu Island is very beautiful, the buildings are quite modern, the transportation is convenient, the permanent population is between 10,000 and 20,000, and it is close to the bay. It really fits the description of the environment in "The Truman Show".
Judging from the photos disclosed on the Internet, all aspects of Gulong Island are indeed very consistent with the scene settings in "The Truman Show". Except for some older buildings, they are similar to the "Truman Show" that Li Qing knows.
》, almost the same, and even the local scenery is more beautiful than what Li Qing knew.
Li Qing nodded and said, "We can conduct an on-site inspection."
Hearing this, Jiang Chendong coughed twice and said with a dry smile: "Mr. Li, look at this script..."
"Of course I'll leave it to you." Li Qing smiled and said, "I hope you can become famous with this movie."
Become famous instantly?
Jiang Chendong thought thoughtfully. He is already considered the top director in China. The idiom of becoming famous in one fell swoop is naturally not suitable for use in China, so...
internationality?
A smile appeared on Jiang Chendong's face: "Thank you, thank you for your trust, I will definitely live up to expectations."
Li Qing smiled, and asked someone to sign a contract with Jiang Chendong. In terms of investment, Li Qing tentatively planned to invest 100 million.
When Jiang Chendong learned this number, he was so frightened that he was in trouble. He stood there in a stalemate without any reaction. After a long time, he said in a trembling voice: "One hundred million? RMB?"
"Yes." Li Qing said with a smile: "Many shots in this movie, from design to special effects, including building a suitable living community, all require funds."
"Isn't there already a suitable location?" Jiang Chendong said with a wry smile.
"This is different." Li Qing shook his head and said: "I just read a brief introduction to Gulong Island, but even if it is very consistent, will the local residents agree to our filming? Also, in terms of buildings, there must be more that are not consistent.
, and some buildings must be renovated. To be honest, I have not completed the inspection of the filming location, and now I am not sure whether 100 million is enough."
"This is just a literary film, it doesn't require so much investment..."
Jiang Chendong sighed.
At the same time, he couldn't help but look at Li Qing a few more times. The young man in front of him had only been in business for three to five years, but he could easily spend 100 million yuan...
As expected, the waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead. Jiang Chendong has never seen so much money in his life!
Never before has such an expensive movie been made!
Li Qing smiled and said: "It's best this way."
As for Jiang Chendong's remuneration, Li Qing did not really let Jiang Chendong work for zero remuneration and paid directly according to the market price.
In the entertainment news in the entertainment industry, it is often revealed that actors can earn tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands in salary, but in fact, the most profitable person in the entire crew is the director, especially the famous director.
The salary of a famous director is basically higher than that of any actor. After Jiang Chendong's last movie "The Box Office" won 63 million at the box office, Jiang Chendong's salary was directly increased from the original 700,000 to millions.
It can be said that Jiang Chendong can definitely earn more than one million yuan in salary if he takes on any movie.
But Jiang Chendong has not ruined his reputation. Without a good script and good actors, he will not start the movie casually. Otherwise, the prestige he has established before will only take one or two bad movies to lift him from the mountain.
Knocked off the cliff.
Therefore, Jiang Chendong cherishes his own feathers very much and does not want to take action at will without a good script.
But now, a good script has appeared.
A good script is enough for him to be willing to star in it for zero pay.
But what he didn't expect was that Li Qing was still willing to pay him one million to direct. This made Jiang Chendong particularly touched and increased his determination to make this movie well.
First of all, in terms of actors, after Jiang Chendong signed the contract, he immediately looked at Li Qing: "The protagonist of this film, Truman, must be you."
"Why?" Li Qing asked curiously.
Jiang Chendong looked Li Qing up and down: "Reality shows, without a good skin, will not attract billions of people to watch them. In terms of the rationality of the script, I say it must be you, right?
Okay, stop asking why, be more humble."
Alas, you can just tell me that I look good!
Li Qing said helplessly: "There are too many actors like me, and you should also know that I am short of time, my family is big, and I have hundreds of employees waiting for support."
"All good-looking skins are the same, but interesting souls are unique."
Jiang Chendong said with a smile: "Li Qing, you are famous all over the country. Handsomeness is your biggest feature. Don't deny this. But besides that, what else is there? Talent! I won't say much about your previous works.
But now you have created "The Truman Show", which is a top-notch script that even I have to admire... Sometimes I really want to crack your head open and see what kind of existence your soul is? It's so funny
