After hearing Tang An's purpose, Han Sanping frowned.
"Passenger ship or freighter?"
"It would be best to use a passenger ship, but I will only shoot the outside and a few layers of plywood. The interior scenes will be completed in the studio. It will take about a week to temporarily rent a ship!" Tang An said quickly.
"Approximately how big will it need to be?"
“Generally, ocean cruises are enough, there are no special requirements!”
"Should we go out to sea or shoot on the shore?" Han Sanping asked again.
“There’s a big panorama that needs to go out of the harbor, and for the rest, just don’t get too close to the shore!”
Han Sanping nodded. This kind of ocean-going ship cannot be sailed out casually. It must be reported to the Marine Police and Shipping Department in advance. It will be very troublesome if it stays outside the port for a week in a row.
"Well, let me help you take a look at the cruise ship, but it must not sail out of the port. If it is a full shot, I can give you some time to shoot when it goes out to sea. Then hurry up!" Han Sanping thought for a while and said.
"Thank you, Director Han!" Tang An quickly thanked him.
This is already very good, otherwise he would have to go to the shipping company to rent a riverboat, which is about the same size as in the original movie.
"Has Director Tang finished writing the script?" After talking about the ship, Han Sanping began to care about the film.
He is quite optimistic about Tang An. He is young and capable, and he is filming a commercial film, which is enough for him to support him.
At the same time, he was also curious about what story Tang An, who had just made a wonderful movie like "Shark Beach", could write this time!
"The script has been finalized, and now it's time to assemble the script and work on the storyboards at the same time!" Tang An took out the script from his bag and handed it over, giving a copy to Lin Sheng as well.
"Then I want to see if the story this time is equally exciting!"
Han Sanping took the script with a smile. The four characters on the cover made him interested.
"Horror Cruise"!
Another horror and suspense film.
Han Sanping had no objection to Tang An's choice of theme, although he hoped that Tang An would make a costume blockbuster.
However, the country is really capable of making costume blockbusters, and the directors who are good at making them are definitely good, and there are not even more than 5.
Xu Ke is filming "Seven Swords", Brother Chen Kai is filming "The Promise", and Tang Jili is filming "The Myth".
Tomorrow there will be three blockbusters. "Seven Swords" is a martial arts film, a genre that Xu Ke is good at.
"Myth" stars Cheng Long, and both movies are not too bad.
Although Brother Chen Kai has never made a costume blockbuster, Han Sanping found him the top production team in the country.
Cinematographer Bao Dexi, art director Yip Jintian, and visual effects director Zhong Zizi... are all leaders in various industries. Coupled with Chen Kaige's fame, "The Promise" is almost the most likely to challenge the box office record of "Hero" in recent years.
's movie.
As for Tang An, although Han Sanping is also optimistic about him, after all, he is too young and lacks experience. It is not easy to shoot a big production!
After reading the entire script, Han Sanping slowly frowned.
More than twenty minutes later, he read it again, still frowning.
"Similar to the style of "Memento"? It's hard to make a film like this, and it's even harder to be a hit!"
As a senior filmmaker, Han Sanping even asked what kind of movies can make money in the current domestic film market.
This kind of brain-burning movie is tiring to watch, and it is more suitable to be watched on a TV or computer. Even if it is finished, it is likely to be a hit but not a box office hit.
"There is still a difference. This is actually reincarnation over and over again. Although this type of movie is not easy to be a hit, that is because it is labeled as brain-burning from the beginning, which makes people discouraged!"
To be honest, movies like "Memento" have a very low audience, and they only took 25 million yuan in box office in North America.
"I wonder if Director Han has paid attention to this title!" Tang An said, pointing to the four big characters on it.
"This...is telling the audience that this is a horror movie?" Han Sanping understood after thinking for a while.
Comparatively speaking, although the audience for horror films is not as large as that of comedies and costume films, it is not that small and is suitable for both men and women.
"Yes, just by looking at the title, it should be a bloody and violent horror film. In fact, there is no shortage of audiences for such films. The success of "Shark Beach" is a good example!"
"As long as the audience is attracted to the cinema, the quality of the film will depend on it. Even if they find out that it is a brain-burning film, they will not regret it!" Tang An said confidently.
In fact, the film was later criticized for its title. Many fans thought it was a classic film that was delayed by the title.
Tang An had considered choosing this film for a long time. The summer season is not the kind of period where the film is explosive. The most important thing is to last. But if the reputation is not good, films such as "Seven Swords", "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" and "Initial D"
We won't give him a chance. If he falls behind at the beginning, it will be almost difficult to get back in the schedule.
It is inevitable to make a horror movie, so as to make the most of the reputation gained by the previous "Shark Tank". This movie, which looks like a horror movie at first glance, will not have any bad results on the first day. After word of mouth spreads, it will be prosperous.
Flow, let’s compare it with some summer movies.
If it were a low-budget comedy, the audience's first impression would be suspicion. It would be unreliable for a horror film director to suddenly make a comedy!
"Now that you have decided, let's film according to your own ideas. I will ask someone to help you prepare for the crew!" Han Sanping said.
"Thank you, Mr. Han. I'll leave it to you!"
"However, pay attention to the scale and try not to show too bloody scenes!"
"We must avoid being too scary. There are many students watching movies during the summer, so be careful about the impact!" Han Sanping warned.
"Don't worry about this, I'm measured!" Tang An nodded.
At this time, the country is only very strict in terms of ideology. If you suffer, you will die. There is no reason to say it. However, Tang An will also make some modifications to some scenes that go too far!
...
The goal has been achieved, Tang An then said goodbye and left China Film.
He did not specify what characteristics of employees he needed, but with China Film's professionalism, he would not just randomly recruit a group of people to come to him.
Photography, lighting, art... everyone has a different style.
The photographer for the movie "Terror Cruise" must be good at shooting micro-expressions of characters, and then there must also be a photographer who is good at taking full shots of characters.
If the lighting engineer brought in someone who has been shooting romance movies all year round and used warm or even ambiguous tones throughout the film, it would ruin the entire movie.
After leaving China Film and Television, Tang An took a taxi to the Capital International Airport, where Xu Ruoyun had a flight this afternoon.
The plane was not delayed. After waiting at the exit for less than 10 minutes, I saw Xu Ruoyun pushing a suitcase out. When she saw Tang An waiting in the crowd, her eyes lit up and she strode towards him.
"Coming!"
Tang An reached out and took the suitcase in her hand.
"Is the handover over there ready?"
