Chapter Three Hundred and Twenty Two: Searching for the Dragon.
"Don't be too busy to be happy. Although last year's results were good, you should be able to see the recent industry situation. Before the Spring Festival, we still have to make plans for the coming year. It is best to come up with a script plan." Han
Fei's words are indeed a bit disappointing, but it is indeed a fact. With the withdrawal of capital, the film and television industry has experienced a major recession for several consecutive years. A large number of companies and crews have closed down, and a large number of practitioners have changed careers.
Hearing what Han Fei said, everyone stopped joking. Indeed, in the trough period of the entire industry, one wrong move may lead to the loss of everything, especially in the film and television industry, where several consecutive works hit the market, like MGM.
All the Hollywood giants are about to go bankrupt, let alone them?
Yang Kai and Jiang Qinghou looked at each other: "Actually, our new script is ready and preparations for filming have begun."
"Oh? What's the name of the new script?" Han Fei was a little surprised.
Yang Kai scratched his head in embarrassment: "I bought the copyright from the audio department, and it's called [River God]. I think it's quite interesting, and I'm working on adapting it into a script."
Han Fei nodded: "Yes, but don't keep your eyes on online dramas. TV dramas are also a huge market."
Jia Youqian curled his lips: "It's too boring to make a TV series, the review is too strict, this one is not allowed to be filmed, and that one is not allowed to be filmed..."
Han Fei couldn't help but give him a big look, and interrupted: "If you tell me this, all the companies that make TV series are dead."
"Forget it, you will be in charge of the online drama, and I will find someone to do the TV drama." Han Fei originally thought that filming TV dramas would be nothing to them, but apparently he took it for granted.
Speaking of which, Han Fei was the one who started it. From Tomb Raider Notes to Wuxin Master, and then to the soul ferry they created last year, all of them are content that cannot be shown on TV. It has almost formed a style.
Han Fei thought about it and decided to form a new team. Otherwise, he would not be able to switch styles and it would be troublesome when the time comes.
"Do you know anyone, a classmate or a reliable director in the industry?"
Yang Kai shook his head in embarrassment. He originally studied photography. When his classmates found out that he had switched careers to become a director, they were all surprised for a long time. Where could they find a suitable candidate?
Jia Youqian and Jiang Qinghou looked at each other and said in unison: "Old Zhao."
When Han Fei saw that these two guys actually had the same opinion, he couldn't help but wonder: "Do you all know this person?"
Jiang Qinghou started to get frustrated: "Speaking of which, Lao Zhao is very good at what he does. He is the student with the best academic performance in the class besides me. What a pity."
"What's a pity?" Han Fei was a little confused.
Jia Youqian couldn't stand it any longer: "Don't listen to Hou Zi's nonsense. He only got the first place in his major once when he was a freshman. He was the second in his sophomore and junior years. The first place was Zhao Guang.
."
"Why two years?" Han Fei asked doubtfully.
"Hey, this kid also met someone unkind. At that time, he was in a relationship with a girl from the acting department of the same grade. As a result, she found a rich godfather and dumped him. Zhao Guang was so angry that he couldn't get rid of his grandson.
He was beaten very badly, the incident was quite big at that time, and the grandson didn't know how to exert force, Zhao Guang was ordered to drop out of school, and he didn't even get his diploma." Jia Yougan said.
In fact, Han Fei also heard about this incident at the time, but it was nothing to do with him as it was just something to talk about after dinner, so he just let it go with a smile.
"Then what has he been doing in the past few years?"
Jiang Qinghou sighed and said: "What else can I do? It is said that my grandson is quite powerful in the inner circle. Zhao Guang has no choice but to go to Xiangjiang. I heard that his life there is average. In that circle of Xiangjiang
You also know that I am exclusive."
"Then, can you still contact him?" Han Fei nodded. As for how powerful his grandson was in the circle, he really didn't take it seriously. With his current strength and connections, he didn't need to look at this.
kind of person's face.
"Yes, I will send him a message using MSN right now." Jiang Qinghou was about to leave.
Han Fei smiled and said: "Don't be in a hurry, I'll go after the meeting at least."
"Hehe." Jiang Qinghou scratched his head in embarrassment.
"Tiangong's business has already declined. It is expected that the business volume may be reduced by one-third in the spring of next year, so our film team will still have to do a lot of work next year."
This reflects the benefits of a complete ecological chain. When the business volume of a special effects company declines, it can completely launch a special effects blockbuster as a supplement and be self-sufficient.
Jia Youqian almost drooled when he heard this. To be honest, those who study directing either like to make art films and win awards at various international film festivals and enjoy endless glory, or they like to make special effects blockbusters. When "Avatar" came out,
All the directors in the circle couldn't help but marvel at it. Which director could resist that kind of almost perfect display?
"Could it be that...we are going to make a 3D movie?" Jiang Qinghou's eyes widened.
Han Fei nodded: "Yes, next year, our goal is to make a 3D movie that will shock all Chinese people."
In fact, 3D movie technology is no longer a high-tech technology, but for a period of time, unscrupulous movie manufacturers
To make more money, some pure 2D movies were converted into 3D to earn excess box office. Gradually, the reputation of 3D movies became bad and became the target of everyone's beating, and then they began to restrain themselves.
However, it is undeniable that 3D movies can indeed create viewing effects that 2D movies cannot achieve. This is also a subject that every director hopes to try.
For example, Ang Lee made "Life of Pi" after "Avatar", and Tsui Hark also made masterpieces such as the 3D version of "Take the Tiger Mountain".
"But, what are we filming?" Jiang Qinghou didn't want to worry about other messy things right now. He just wanted to start working on it right away. It was a 3D movie.
"Of course we will shoot what we are best at." This is also a decision that Han Fei carefully thought about during his break. 3D movies themselves are a challenge for everyone, so it is better to choose the story structure that everyone is most familiar with and best at.
, so that the main focus can be placed on the presentation of 3D images.
"You mean, filming notes on tomb robbers?" As soon as Jiang Qinghou said this, the scene became lively.
"Then, what part should we shoot?"
"Nonsense, it must be the Snake Algae Ghost Town."
When Jia Youqian saw the lively discussion among the people, he felt greedy, but there was nothing he could do about it. He was now a member of the online drama crew, and it was not his turn to do such good things.
Han Fei shook his head and said: "We will not film the plot in the original work."
"What? Not filming the original plot?"
Han Fei nodded. There are actually two considerations for doing this. First, [Tomb Raiders Notes] is different from the relatively loose main plot structure of [Ghost Blowing the Lamp]. Its original plot has great coherence and is interlocking.
If "Snake Algae Ghost Town" were filmed directly, many viewers who have never seen "Tomb Raiders" would probably be confused about the relationship between the characters.
Secondly, it is difficult to pass the review of the original plot of "Tomb Raiders Notes". It is better to completely jump out of the original plot and create a completely new story like "Ghost Blowing the Lamp - The Secret of the Dragon".
When everyone heard this, they thought it made sense and nodded one after another.
Jiang Qinghou asked: "Then what is the name of our film?"
"How about calling it [Tomb Robbers Notes - Dragon Hunting Technique]?" Han Fei spent a long time and finally gave up on the original creation.
"Searching for the Dragon? This is a good name, and it makes you feel right when you hear it. Old Han, I really belong to you."
