To be honest, Director Chen can be considered a director who keeps pace with the times. Besides making movies, he is also the kind of person who can listen to advice.
It can be said that except for this person who prefers to have his own opinions when making movies, in other aspects of life and work, the whole person will become more harmonious.
In life, he is also more likely to listen to an opinion from others. Basically, the producer of Director Chen's films is his wife, Sister Hong.
Of course, the producer of this film cannot be Sister Hong, because this is the movie designated above, so the producer must be named by some leaders of the relevant departments, but in terms of executive production, it actually ended up with Hong.
On my sister.
Because after all, this matter is directed by Director Chen, who has the final say on the film within the crew. If the relationship between the executive producer and Director Chen is not good, it may cause some unnecessary trouble.
Once the executive producer and director get into trouble, the film may not be able to be filmed, so the executive producer is still Sister Hong.
However, when Sister Hong is not producing, of course she has to report the accounts to the relevant departments. The relevant departments will review the accounts regularly, which effectively puts a shackle on Sister Hong.
When performing certain tasks, Sister Hong will consider whether the account can be repaid by then? Will the leader feel that the account is unnecessary? This must be considered!
But in fact, generally speaking, if the difference is not too big, the leaders will turn a blind eye when they send people to review. Everyone knows the specific things, but they want the horse to run, and they want the horse to run away.
It is impossible for a child not to eat grass.
Since the executive producer is Sister Hong, other things can be easily discussed. Many things can be solved directly by discussing it as a couple.
For example, this time Chen Zhuangyan listened to a relatively good suggestion, which was that the movie should have a promotional song.
Many current movies will write a promotional song before filming. This has basically become a convention, and if the promotional song is relatively popular, it will also play a very good role in promoting the movie.
These are basically complementary to each other. Of course, this is more of a habit of new-school directors. Directors of the older generation basically do not use or pay special attention to such a propaganda when filming.
Song pattern.
Perhaps while chatting with friends, Director Chen listened to other people's advice, or listened to the discussions of young people, and thought that there should be a promotional song and that his film must keep pace with the times.
After all, this is more for young people to come and watch the movie. If the promotional song is better, it will attract more young people to come to the cinema to watch the movie.
Anyway, no matter what the purpose is, Director Chen himself also believes that if there is a good promotional song, it will have a relatively good promotion effect on the film that has not yet been shot.
Therefore, he directly decided to collect a promotional song written for his movie, which would be used to promote the movie in the early stage.
When it comes to Director Chen's status in the entertainment industry, it's very impressive. After the news was released, many people asked him to write such a promotional song. After all, everyone knew very well that if he wrote a song for Chen
If the director is satisfied with the song, the reward will be quite considerable.
After all, everyone knows that if Director Chen can be satisfied, Director Chen will never be stingy.
But at this time, almost a week later, Director Chen was still very angry. He simply threw a manuscript on the table and said angrily: "What do you think this is?
What I want is a promotional song, not a bunch of rubbish. Do they think I'm old enough to be deceived and use this kind of rubbish to fool me?
Although I am not a songwriter or composer, I still have the ability to appreciate art. I can still tell whether a song is a good song or whether it will become popular.
Under such circumstances, those people actually gave me such rubbish songs and had the nerve to ask for 100,000 to 200,000. Are they blind or what?
Don’t they know that if their song becomes a promotional song for my movie, it will also greatly improve their reputation? Where do they get the courage?
They actually used this kind of song to fool me. Do they think they are crazy or think I can't lift the knife?"
Sister Hong picked up the manuscript nonchalantly, put it on the table and said, "There's no need for you to be so angry?
Lao Chen, there is absolutely no need for you to be angry because of this. In fact, although we have not achieved our final goal, we have achieved our original goal of collecting promotional songs, which can be considered a good publicity for our movie.
At least we have achieved the purpose of this propaganda, right?
Many people have already started writing this song. If we can find such a good song, it will of course be an unexpected surprise. The money is 100,000, 200,000, 300,000 and 500,000.
It doesn't matter, it's not our fault anyway, right?
Even if we can't find a suitable song in the end, at least we have promoted our movie again, which is not a big loss for us.
So there is no need for you to be angry about this issue."
Director Chen adjusted his mood and said: "You don't know, in fact, I am not just doing this to promote our movie. Do I need to promote my movie like this?"
In fact, I really really want to find a promotional song. If it is suitable, if the promotional song can become popular, it will indeed be a great promotion for the movie.
I am not the kind of person who is stubborn. As long as it is useful for promoting the movie, I can still listen to it. The premise is that when I am filming the movie, you should stop pointing fingers in front of me. Everything else is easy to say.
Take this promotional song for example. A friend suggested that I make one. I think it’s okay, right?
Keep up with the times, I can do anything as long as it is beneficial to the movie. I really don’t care about the money. It doesn’t matter whether it’s 100,000 to 80,000 to 200,000 to 300,000. When I make the movie, in the end, this
A little money?
What makes me angry is that those people are usually very respectful to me, but they actually use this garbage to fool me. Do you think this is irritating or not?
Those of you who write songs, if you were attentive, you wouldn't come out with this kind of rubbish, right?
I was very serious about soliciting a promotional song that would be useful for my movie. My words were also released, and the compensation was quite good. I even said that if there is a more suitable one, I would give more money.
Doesn't matter?
Do I care about money when making movies? I never care about money when making movies, and I am not short of money when making movies, so on this issue, money is not important to me. What matters to me is my own face.
I have already said that I would like to collect a promotional song that can be useful for my movie, but now there is nothing to make others laugh at me. Right?
You said that my words were released to collect a good publicity song, but now a week has passed and there is nothing, just a pile of rubbish. How will this make my colleagues think of me?
Do you mean to let those guys see my joke? It’s impossible. For such a big production, it’s so difficult to collect a good promotional song. This simply surprises me.
So I myself am very puzzled about this matter. Why can’t so many lyricists and composers across the country write a song that satisfies me?
I know that there are still many directors in the industry who want to see my jokes. After all, not all directors can remember that 100 million is used to shoot a commercial art film.
Everyone saw that I had a capital of 100 million and wanted to shoot an art film, so they were envious and jealous. They wanted to see my jokes.
Therefore, I was more attentive to this movie, and I was very cautious and cautious about everything I did. I was afraid that others would laugh at me, and the same was true for the collection of promotional songs.
I posted all my words, and a lot of people came to apply, but what they wrote was really rubbish, and it was really impossible to read it. I read it over and even said it over and over again, but I still couldn’t understand it, so I knew what they were writing.
Hey, it's just a bunch of useless garbage.
The same goes for those famous songwriters. What kind of stuff do they write?
As a layman, I can tell that it is a pile of rubbish. I can only imagine what they wrote. If they still want to ask for my money, then it is possible, impossible.
If this matter cannot be resolved for a long time, it will actually be a moderate blow to us, which will make the people who saw my joke even happier.
I don't want to let this kind of thing happen continuously, I still want to be able to produce a relatively good song.
But the key point is that no matter whether it is domestic or foreign, there is no particularly good song, which makes me very disappointed.
Those foreign guys are also joining in the fun. Do they understand our Chinese culture? Do they understand the essence of this movie?
If what our country's songwriters write is not good, what they write is even more rubbish. They don't understand the essence of our Chinese culture at all. What I urgently need now is a good song.
I use this good song to promote my movie in order to slap those guys in the face who want to see my joke. What I care about is not the money, what I care about is my face.
If a great director like me releases it, he can't get a good song, which really makes me feel a little embarrassed."
After Sister Hong heard these words, she actually understood her husband relatively well and had a thorough understanding of her husband's temper. At this time, Sister Hong had understood that her husband was not joking or joking at all.
.
He really wanted a good song.
So Sister Hong thought for a while and said: "Old Chen, if this is true, then we can't care about money. As the saying goes, there must be brave men under heavy rewards. Maybe the money we gave is relatively small.
So, we may not be able to collect a good song, but what if we increase the money? It’s not us who give the money anyway, right?
This can be calculated into the cost of the movie, so there is no need for us to be so stingy. Since you really want such a good song, I think we can increase the price. As long as the money is available,
I don't think there's anything I can't do.
100,000 to 200,000 may not be attractive enough, and 500,000 may not be able to cause a big sensation. What about 1 million, or even more, 1.5 million to 2 million, there is no problem, anyway, the money is not given by ourselves.
, then what do we care about the money for?
We can design a condition, that is, if this song can reach a certain number of positions in the rankings in a certain period of time, how much money will we give? For example, if it enters the top 20, we will give 1 million, if it enters the top 10 cities
We will give 2 million, and the top five will be given 3 million directly.
Anyway, as long as we give enough money, we can cause a big enough sensation. As long as we give enough money, I believe there are still many people who are willing to try it. I mean, what if we succeed, right?
wrong?
As long as the song is popular enough, even if we spend 3 million to 5 million, it will be in vain. After all, relatively speaking, our investment in this movie is 130 to 5 million, which is nothing for this movie.
As long as this song can be popular and as long as our goal can be achieved, everything else will be easy to talk about.
From my point of view, as long as we give enough money, I personally think that we will definitely be able to meet our requirements and we will definitely be able to find a good song."
Director Chen thought for a while, and then his eyes lit up: "Yes, and if we can't meet our requirements, we don't have to give so much money, right?
As long as I can reach the top 5, it doesn't matter if I give 3 million like you said, it's not my own money anyway.
Your method is good. It can not only promote our movie, but also find a good work. Then go to the top five works. Each one of them is worth a thousand dollars. If you can reach this height, we will give you 3 million.
Actually it doesn't matter.
Madam, you are worthy of being a female Zhuge. This method is indeed good. There must be brave men under heavy rewards. I believe there are still many people who like money in the world."
