Chapter 067: Cooperation Confirmed, Hot Spring Night Talk
After spending an afternoon at the filming site, Lin Dong finally truly understood what filming was like.
I also have a strong confidence in my heart. I used to have a sense of mystery because I didn’t understand it, but now I suddenly found that it is not complicated.
Filmed segment by segment, shot from different angles, and finally edited and synthesized into dubbing.
It seems quite simple when you think about it.
Of course, this feeling is just equivalent to the previous understanding, which does not mean that it is really simple.
In fact, there are many things involved in making a movie, and it cannot be mastered in one or two days.
However, Lin Dong doesn’t need to be fully qualified. There are professional personnel to do many things, such as stage management, photography, makeup, lighting props, etc. He does not need to worry about it.
Even when he makes a movie, he hires a director and a team, he provides the script, and then he just supervises the production.
With the archived data in your head, you can compare it anytime and anywhere, and there is no need for random command.
The dinner was of a very high standard, and several big shots from China Film Group also came over from China Film Base.
Today is different from the past. The most important thing for Lin Dong's fame is that the theme song attracted the attention of senior officials. Therefore, there is nothing that cannot be discussed.
During the dinner, Lin Dong played Singing for the Motherland and other interludes, which shocked everyone instantly.
The majestic main melody made several big bosses excited when they heard it, and they immediately decided to set the price.
The film's soundtrack and songs are priced at 6 million.
It can be said that this is very high.
But now the film investors are passive. They are worried that Lin Dong will change his mind, and even more afraid that the negotiation will not be able to come to an agreement, they simply stop talking and settle the matter at a fixed price.
And it was six million after tax, so Lin Dong was naturally in a good mood.
There are three leaders of China Film Group. They are all middle-aged and imposing, but they are very easy-going at the wine table, chatting and laughing with Lin Dong and others.
They even talked about Qi Kang's father, who was an acquaintance in the industry.
Qi Kang naturally had to toast, and Lin Dong also drank.
Xu Sheng was even half drunk.
Only the fat man didn't drink. He was thinking about driving. What should he do if he was drunk?
Liu Ou didn't drink much.
In this kind of scene, these big guys in the industry made them both unable to let go and very restrained.
After having enough food and wine, everyone was happy and left happily.
Lin Dong also said goodbye one by one, his face frozen with laughter.
After seeing the boss off, Xu Sheng said with a smile: "Let's go, I'll treat you to a hot spring."
Naturally, Lin Dong and others would not refuse Xu Sheng's kindness.
So, everyone got on the crew bus and headed to the nearby hot spring resort.
Surrounded by mountains and rivers, the small farmyard is like a farmhouse-like hot spring bathhouse. Moreover, Xu Sheng has already booked a room here. They will stay in this countryside tonight.
Away from the hustle and bustle of the world, looking at the stars in the mountains or lying in a hot spring pool, it is not uncomfortable.
Qi Kang drank too much, and the fat man took care of him. One was to prevent Qi Kang from slipping into the pool, and the other was to prevent Qi Kang from vomiting in the pool.
If that were the case, all the artistic conception would be gone.
Lin Dong and Xu Sheng were sitting by the pool, talking in low voices.
Both of them were drunk, but this kind of half-drunk feeling was the most comfortable.
"The film has been completed in the past two days. It is in post-production. You have people come over tomorrow and sign the agreement quickly. The theme songs and interludes are all top-notch. It seems that we may even borrow all your songs for this movie.
Later, if you have time, you can keep an eye on it yourself, so that I can feel more at ease."
Xu Sheng squinted his eyes and murmured.
Lin Dong did not squint, but looked at the starry sky, "I don't know much about the later stage. The background music is also finished, so I'll leave it to professionals. When the time comes, I will ask Liu Ou to follow up."
Xu Sheng said: "I'm being modest. I'm afraid you are very busy, right?"
Lin Dong said: "Well, I have some plans."
Xu Sheng suddenly smiled and said, "By the way, you are awesome! You are actually the author of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp", but many people in the industry are regretful that you actually sold the script of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" to that guy Fang Runde.
Aren’t you afraid of being ruined?”
Lin Dong smiled and said, "What's the waste? People spent money to buy it, and I can't care about how it turns out, right?"
Even if I buy it and leave it there without taking pictures, it has nothing to do with me."
Xu Sheng agreed with this, but still felt it was a pity that a good script was lost.
For film directors like them, good scripts are really hard to come by.
The novel "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" is a hit. With this foundation, the movie can guarantee a box office as long as it is not too bad.
Such a good IP was actually sold to Fang Runde, the king of bad movies.
What can that guy do?
But I had to accept it. Fang Runde had a broad approach and unique vision, so he immediately bought the copyright for the first part of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp".
And the price is not low, just like seeing how popular novels are now.
This price, when I bought it, the novel was not as popular as it is now, so it was very high. Of course, now, the price is neither high nor low.
More than 10 million is not too high, and eight to nine million is reasonable.
"You should have noticed that Mr. Wan from China Film Group Corporation is very interested in the second part of Ghost Blowing the Lantern."
Xu Sheng tried it out, and Lin Dong naturally understood what Xu Sheng meant.
Smiling apologetically, Lin Dong said: "The second and third parts have already been decided with someone, there's nothing we can do about it, but since it's Mr. Wan who's giving me face, I can't refute it.
When I get back and have time to write a script for China Film, you can take a look and let us know if it works!"
There was no way around it. Although Xu Sheng was very disappointed, since he had already made an appointment with someone, he could only do this.
"Can I ask which company bought it?"
Xu Sheng is not interested in Lin Dongxin's script writing, and is still a little bit unwilling to give up on Ghost Blowing the Lamp.
But even though he asked, he actually didn't expect Lin Dong to say it. After all, Lin Dong's words only meant a decision, not a sale.
If it is sold, then the agreement has been signed and speaking out will not affect anything.
But Lin Dong was not worried about what would happen to the deal with Mo Ruchu, and said with a smile: "Mr. Mo from Yunchudi, if China Film wants to cooperate, you can go to Mr. Mo. They are all investors anyway.
Maybe, Director Xu, you will have the opportunity to do it yourself."
When Mo Ruchu bought the script, he also found someone to invest in and co-produce it. Yun Chudi's company did not have a director or artist, so he would still choose a director to film it.
I have to say that Mo Ruchu is very good at business. Her business is complementary to that of many entertainment companies and there is no conflict.
And it seems that he rarely offends people by stealing business.
Just like Fang Runde bought the copyright for the first film "Ghost Blows Out the Lamp", Mo Ru took a step back and did not raise the price to compete.
This is the brilliance of Mo Ruchu.
It is probably because of these factors that the business can reach its current scale.
Xu Sheng's eyes lit up when he heard that Lin Dong said that Mo Ruchu bought it.
Mo Ruchu's Yunchudi does not make films, but only invests in filming and acts as an investor.
Buying songs and scripts is all for investment.
And I heard that Mo is now investing heavily in major online movies as before, which shows that he is very optimistic about this area.
In this case, as Lin Dong said, it is really possible for him to win the filming of the film.
Thinking of this, Xu Sheng really started to think about it.
Lin Dong didn't bother him, he just soaked leisurely and looked at the night sky.
Because when he talked about Mo Ruchu, he was thinking about Mo Ruchu at this moment, with that figure, that face, that touch, and that very intense kiss.
For a moment, I couldn't help but feel confused and fascinated.
Men and women often break through the boundaries of friendship, and their thoughts and thoughts are completely different. When they think of each other, their feelings are also completely different.
