When he started doing post-production work on "Dragon Inn", Sun Peng finally felt like he was in control of everything again.
From the camera to the music, it’s almost the same thing.
Another director, Wei Xiaolin, returned to the state he was in when he went to the edge of the desert to shoot a film. Occasionally, Sun Peng would ask him for advice when he didn't understand something, and most of the other time, he would just be a spectator, watching Sun Peng.
Fang Qiu was so critical of the filmed material that he almost took care of both the directing and soundtrack work!
so……
"The preparations for "Detective Di Renjie" will be completed before the end of July!"
After Sun Peng finished his scheduled tasks that day, Wei Xiaolin pulled him and said in a deep voice: "So if nothing else happens, I will have to leave at the end of August to shoot Di Renjie. Is it okay for you...?"
"End of July? So soon?!"
Sun Peng was obviously a little surprised by Wei Xiaolin's words.
Of course he writes scripts very quickly, and this time he wrote a Chinese costume film. Sun Peng didn't have to think about whether to revise it at all. If he just wrote an episode every night, it would only take a month to write the first one.
But how easy is it to prepare for a TV series? How long did it take before Wei Xiaolin agreed?
"This is a costume drama, how difficult can it be?"
Speaking of his work, Wei Xiaolin looked proud: "Teacher Sun, don't forget what I do! Let alone a low-cost TV series, it is a costume movie. I can prepare it well."
It’s faster than your "Longmen Inn"...and I can save at least one-third of the cost by preparing it, do you believe it?"
"Uh...I believe it."
After his face darkened, Sun Peng couldn't help but nodded.
He ignored Wei Xiaolin's old profession, which was to help other big directors make costume blockbusters, and it seemed that he had also filmed stories about the Tang Dynasty...
But this is good, this is great!
Although Lao Zhao attaches great importance to new dramas, because the third season of "Criminal Minds" will be launched in early September, the company takes up a lot of funds, so it really can't spend much money. Even if Golden Eagle Video is introduced
and part of the funds from other investors, but the investment in the entire drama is only more than 40 million.
Originally, Sun Peng was quite worried, fearing that Lao Zhao and Wei Xiaolin would turn "Detective Di Renjie" into one of the stingy dramas on earth!
Not to mention anything else, the characters in it alone made Sun Peng dumbfounded.
How many roles did Zhang Huan, one of the eight military leaders, play in "Detective Di Renjie"? There are also those scenes that look full of middle-class atmosphere. Sun Peng doesn't think it's because of the props or the lack of ability of the art director. The biggest
It may be due to insufficient funds!
With Wei Xiaolin, at least I can feel a little more at ease in this regard.
Nearly 50 million yuan is needed to shoot 30 episodes of a period drama. After all, one episode of "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" costs tens of millions! But if you consider that the entire "Detective Detective Di Renjie" crew only has one person who offers a low price.
The outdated star "Di Pangpang", and there are no exaggerated special effects or a large team of people, seems to be enough...
So after thinking for a while, Sun Peng nodded and said: "Okay, then you can get busy and try to finish the entire drama before the end of the year... Actually, it seems that it is not bad as a new year's drama for Beijing Satellite TV?
"
If "Longmen Inn" doesn't work, then "Detective Di Renjie" will work?
If Wei Xiaolin can really handle everything by then, Sun Peng will definitely be happy to give Beijing Satellite TV a surprise - just because Giant Films has handed over "Super Sense Detective" to Beijing Satellite TV, Sun Peng feels that they should not
refuse, or they cannot refuse.
"This is a bit difficult."
Shrugging his shoulders, Wei Xiaolin said with a wry smile: "A unit drama like "Criminal Minds" has one story per episode, and it's definitely okay to broadcast one episode every week. But "Detective Di Renjie" is a traditional TV series, and it can be told in thirty episodes.
The three cases can only be broadcast in the traditional broadcast mode, five days a week, two episodes a day... It will be quite difficult to have them all filmed and completed before the end of the year!"
"Then let's give it a try. What if it works?"
Smiling slightly, Sun Peng encouraged him softly.
Sun Peng would not have dared to say these words before filming "Dragon Inn", but when he discovered that filming a movie went so smoothly, he quickly realized the true value of the images in his mind - not only classics,
At the same time, it can save a lot of time and cost for the crew!
A TV series is not a movie, so it doesn’t seem difficult to produce thirty episodes in five months?
"Okay, let's try it!"
Looking at Sun Peng's chuckle, Wei Xiaolin gritted his teeth and said, "But Teacher Sun, I'm filming here and will definitely work harder on post-production, but what about the theme song and music you promised? When can you give it to me?"
"
"Well……"
Sun Peng was stunned when he heard these words, and his face suddenly turned bitter - Ma Dan, he dug another hole and buried himself in it...
…
On July 31, when the final box office reached 693.72 million, "Taken" was finally offline.
At this time, "Dark Dead 2" has just reached 580 million.
Of course, if you look at the overseas box office, "Dark Man 2" is still slightly better, and the total global box office barely crossed the billion threshold. But basically no one cares about this kind of takeover, because the two
The gap between the cost of the movie and the quality of the actors is really huge. Many people think that even if they compare it, it would be compared to "Mission: Impossible". Others compare it to "The Dark Side of the Dead 2".
" was released three weeks late, but now the domestic box office has reached nearly 800 million, and the overseas box office has exceeded 400 million...
Just in the evening of this day, Sun Peng posted a new Weibo: "The total box office of "Hurricane Rescue" is 840 million, and the domestic box office is 700 million. I am very grateful to the fans for their support. See you in the Lunar New Year!"
"New Year's Eve release? Has The Bourne Identity been released?"
If just an ordinary fan asked this question, Sun Peng might not pay attention to it, but if it was Chen Feifei who asked it, it would be different. Sun Ya, who controls Weibo, quickly replied: "Yes, Lotus Pictures just
"The Bourne Identity" has been scheduled for the Lunar New Year! Sister Feifei, do you want to go and see it again then?"
"No problem, please reserve two seats for me."
"Haha, there's me too, don't forget it!"
Immediately afterwards, King Luo Chengluo also showed up and sent a smiling face to Sun Peng. Immediately, a large number of fans began to ask below, what is this "Bourne's Identity"? Even the kings and queens want to see it?
"Look, this is what Lao Bai is capable of!"
After listening to Han Dalu's report, Qin Liang couldn't help laughing: "In the film industry, he is a complete newcomer, but with such a large number of book fans and strong support like Luo Cheng and Chen Feifei,
Who dares to really treat him as a newcomer? Mao Xu and Geng Qiu in "Dark Night 2" were really miserable this time..."
