Su Yang chuckled and did not answer directly, "I will introduce you to a director in the next two days. You study hard with him and see how to tell stories."
Guo Fan:...
Is this a failure?
Su Yang felt that there were not just a few, but that they were... not good.
The settings of the male and female protagonists are both contrived and strange. If Xiao Ha hadn't heard that this project had great potential, Su Yang would have dared to say that this script was a flop...
So Su Yang planned to let Wu Feng and Guo Fan have a good chat. Wu Feng happened to be an actor in "The Wandering Planet", so it would be good to meet in advance and come up with ideas.
With this in mind, Su Yang and Guo Fan chatted for a few more words before going out to call Wu Feng.
Wu Feng has just been taking some time off recently because "Wolf Warrior" has finally been released.
After two months of screenings, "Wolf Warrior" has a final box office of 701 million. It will exceed 700 million.
It directly entered the top 20 movie box office rankings, ranking 18th in film history!
Ranked 8th among domestic movies!
Having achieved this result, Wu Feng can be considered a satisfactory answer to his turnaround.
Now when talking about Wu Feng, although everyone still has certain doubts: For example, will he only be good at making this movie? Will he fail in the next part? Is this just a coincidence?
But...at least it recognized his talent as a director and actor, and gave him the status and respect he deserved.
So after the movie's screening period ended, Wu Feng was considered successful and very comfortable. Apart from saving up a little bit for sequels every day, he just rested.
After all, both actors and directors go through periods of exhaustion. He was too tired from filming "Wolf Warrior" and needed some rest.
As a result, Su Yang called and asked him to rest immediately.
Faced with his brother Su, Wu Feng was still full of gratitude, so after Su Yang explained the situation, he immediately said that he would rush over this week to see the situation of the movie and have a good chat with Guo Fan.
After the matter was settled, Su Yang's worries were put aside.
Because he had participated in the production of "Wolf Warrior", he knew that the main line of the script of "Wolf Warrior" was actually determined by Wu Feng. Moreover, as a director, Wu Feng had his own unique understanding of Hollywood-style popcorn movies and was the first to put it into practice.
A director who brings Hollywood-style purely commercial films to China.
The essence of "The Wandering Planet" is a science fiction drama, with feelings about family and country. It does not require depth, reflection or reflection. As long as it has excellent special effects and the amazing setting of wandering the entire planet in the vast universe, it makes
It is enough that the audience can empathize with the greatness of the Chinese nation.
This is exactly what Wu Feng is good at.
Su Yang read Guo Fan's script. In fact, there were no problems with the main plot and details. It was just that the character setting and some plot arrangements were a bit pretentious, so Su Yang thought about asking Wu Feng to take a look at it together and come up with ideas.
Of course, Su Yang will also use Xiao Ha to supervise: the script gets better, but there is also the possibility that the potential will get worse, so Su Yang has to make sure that changing the script can really make the potential of the movie stronger!
The next day, Guo Fan continued to devote himself to the intense preparations for "The Wandering Earth".
On the third day, Wu Feng arrived, and the three of them met at Su Yang's house and had a small meeting.
And Su Yang... also showed Guo Fan the shark in their living room...
Guo Fan was also frightened and shocked by Su Yang's weird "hobby".
Then he also understood why Su Yang trusted him so much and dared to invest in him: he was so stupid and bold.
Isn’t it silly and bold enough to keep non-aquarium sharks at home?
Guo Fan felt that Su Yang didn't keep a leopard at home, otherwise he must have thought that Su Yang was a prince from Dubai.
Wu Feng watched all this with a smile. As a previous victim, he saw a person who was as frightened as himself, and he felt inexplicably relieved.
He also patted Guo Fan on the shoulder "intimately" and said, "Director Guo, you are too timid. When I first came to Mr. Su's house, my face didn't change and my heart didn't beat."
Su Yang glanced at Wu Feng, but did not expose his lies.
Su Yangke remembered that Wu Feng was so frightened that he almost had a heart attack.
Then the three people came to the living room and started discussing the movie.
After chatting for a while, after everything was on track, Su Yang asked the two of them to discuss it first, while he went out and called Murray.
Murray was the second person Su Yang favored. He was the director of the copyright department of National Film Group. He had a good relationship with Su Yang. It was also thanks to him that Su Yang obtained the copyright for "The Wandering Planet".
Su Yang called him because Wu Feng accidentally mentioned during the meeting that Murray had some troubles and Su Yang might be able to help.
As for what the trouble was, Wu Feng didn't know. He just heard people in the industry mention it and said it seemed to be related to "The Wandering Planet".
That's why Su Yang called Murray.
"Beep...beep...beep..."
The call was connected within a few seconds. On the other end of the phone was Murray's hearty smile, "Brother Su, why do you have time to call me? Aren't you been busy with movies recently?"
Because the two parties are in a cooperative relationship, and National Film Group is also an investor in "The Wandering Planet", Su Yang has actually been mentioning the progress during this period to Murray, and even sent several special effects demos to Murray for viewing. So Mu
Although Lei is far away in Kyoto, he still knows about the progress of the project.
Murray was straightforward, so Su Yang didn't make any circles, "I've been busy. But Brother Mu, I heard some rumors that something happened to you over there? So I called to ask."
When Murray heard this, he laughed twice and said directly, "Actually, it's not like I'm in trouble, it's just a little stressful."
Su Yang asked, "Is it related to "The Wandering Planet"?"
Murray said, "Yes."
Then he told Su Yang the reason for the incident.
It turns out that "The Wandering Planet" has always been a relatively important project of the National Film Company. Although its priority is not as good as "The Four-Body Problem", it is also taken seriously. Therefore, although the leadership of the project has been in the hands of Su Yang, there has always been a lack of control within the National Film Company.
Watching.
Murray is also summoned by the chairman and general manager from time to time to inquire about the progress of the project.
The progress was not obvious at first, so it was okay.
But later, when Su Yang gave the special effects demo to Murray, Murray was absolutely amazed when he saw it, so he also showed the demo to the big guys during the report.
Although the big guys working at National Film Studio have a certain bureaucratic atmosphere, they are all professional talents, so everyone can see the level of these special effects.
It doesn't matter, both the chairman and the general manager are concerned about it.
They were not sure about "The Wandering Planet" at first, so they just had the idea of giving it a try.
But now that I have seen the project planning and the special effects clips, if I can't see that this movie will be a hit and become a landmark movie, I would be a fool.
When Su Yang heard this, he frowned slightly and couldn't help asking, "Then they want to regain control?"
Murray laughed twice and said, "Brother Su, look, you still haven't remembered what I said to you at that time."
"National Film Group is a state-owned enterprise, so how much money we make has nothing to do with us. What we need is influence and results that can be seen by the higher-ups."
"Besides, we also know that without your team, this film would not be able to achieve this effect at all. Therefore, apart from raising the internal rating of "The Wandering Planet" again and allocating more resources, Guoyang has no intention of returning this film."
The meaning of project leadership.”
Su Yang asked, "Then they..."
Murray did not play charades, but said directly, "They want to have a name."
Su Yang didn't quite understand, "What's the name?"
Murray, "It's the nominal producer, producer, producer, etc."
Su Yang asked, "Then will they interfere in the movie?"
Murray said confidently, "No! How can they have that time? They have no time for meetings every day, so how can they have time to make movies."
After saying that, Murray said, "Let me calculate, there are so many big guys who are interested in your movie now."
"The chairman of the board of directors of Guoyang, the vice chairman and general manager of Guoyang, the deputy general manager of Guoyang, and the general manager of Guoyang's production branch. These big guys."
"If you think about their identities, how can they have time to add to your movie?"
When Su Yang heard this, he understood.
To put it bluntly, those big bosses needed face, and now that they saw that they could earn face with this movie, they were tempted and put pressure on Murray.
Su Yang expressed his thoughts, and Murray smiled and said that was it.
Then he said, "But, Brother Su, don't worry. If you feel that it's not good to have my name in your movie, then I will withstand the pressure. You just need to make a good movie."
Su Yang thought about it and felt...this doesn't seem to be a bad thing?
A group of big guys with Chinese prefixes in the industry are interested in their own movies and want to be named. Is this a bad thing?
Others want to be listed, but they can't.
After all, with this group of big bosses on their names, all kinds of approvals will be very easy. Which of the production companies and theater chains would dare not to give face? These are all real benefits.
And what did I lose...?
Well...it seems like there is no loss, right?
With this in mind, Su Yang immediately agreed.
Then, the two talked about the positions they planned to give to these big guys.
The two chatted for a long time and finally decided that the chairman of the National Film Group would be the first producer of "The Wandering Planet".
The vice chairman and general manager serve as the film's director and producer.
The deputy general manager serves as the chief producer of the film.
The general manager of the production branch serves as the first producer of the film.
In fact, these are all good-looking names.
For example, the chief producer...
What is a chief producer?
It means that a group has produced many movies, and he is the person responsible for coordinating all the movies. His subordinates are the producers of each movie, and he is the one who does the work and has the real power.
As for Chief Producer, to put it bluntly... it's just a false title and of no use.
But this just meets the requirements of these big guys. So this matter is considered to be resolved satisfactorily.
After chatting with Murray for a few more words and confirming the details, Su Yang hung up the phone.
After hanging up the phone, Su Yang just wanted to go back and talk to Wu Feng about this matter, and take a look at how Wu Feng and the others were talking about the script.
As a result, at this moment, a reminder suddenly came to his ears,
[Dip. Through self-study, the bronze ability level is improved. 】
At that moment, Su Yang was stunned.
What's up?
Can making a phone call also increase bronze ability?
