Chapter 20 Daily Life
As soon as Lianhua heard the words "Chang Lin will not be the director, but will be the producer", he immediately lost interest...
Let's put it this way, director and producer are two different concepts...
Pants is awesome enough, he has supervised a series of works, such as "Destined to Die", "The Bad Guy Must Die"...
Not to mention the box office, the reputation is also very bad!
Producer is actually a Hong Kong-specific film position, usually held by veteran filmmakers with extensive experience behind the scenes. They are responsible for assisting the director in finding scripts, finding investments, directing filming, etc.
Because the Hollywood system does not have the term producer, they only have producer, that is, producer...
Assisting the director in finding scripts, finding investment, directing filming, etc. should be left to the producer!
The emergence of the concept of supervisory production in Hong Kong originated from the fact that big-name directors and actors left large companies to form their own companies. For example, Wang Jing, Wen Jun, and Liu Weiqiang established the Best Partner Film Company. Among these three people, the screenwriter Wen Jun,
Directed by Liu Weiqiang, Wang Jing is the producer...
By the way, Best Partner has produced many works, the most famous of which is of course the "Young and Dangerous" series.
The specific role should be to provide conceptual ideas and major constructive opinions, and will participate in important decisions of the crew, but will not be responsible for specific script creation and directing and filming.
Generally speaking, great directors will serve as producers of their own films.
——Shen Changlin's "Xiu Chun Dao" did not find anyone to supervise the production!
Wang Changtian didn't know much about "33 Days of Love". He had just heard about this project...
Without continuing the conversation, the topic quickly turned to the box office of "Xiu Chun Dao".
It has only been 13 days since this movie was released, and it has already grossed 209 million at the box office. Judging from the current trend, it is just around the corner to break 300 million!
Again, no one expected that "Tangshan Earthquake" would be such a hit at the box office!
…
"A chick flick with a 27-year-old heroine who has a mean personality and a strong self-esteem..."
"Why make a movie like this?"
"Because the story is well written, the starting point of the whole story is when I bumped into my best friend and her boyfriend... and then started a 33-day treatment process for broken love..."
"…All right,"
Lotus roughly understood it, and then asked: "Who are you looking for for the male lead?"
"I haven't considered it... I'll deal with the heroine first..." Shen Changlin answered honestly, and then asked tentatively: "Are you interested?"
"No!"
Lotus refused completely!
It’s understandable, she’s about to join the cast of “Snow Flower and the Secret Fan”…
And if she wants to make a love movie, the director will at least be Sun Zhou, and the leading actor for her will be Sun Honglei!
"Love Is Not Blind", the script has not been finished yet, the main character has not been decided, and the cost is more than 10 million...
You have to be stupid to answer!
"As for the heroine, please help me pay attention. She is around 27 years old. She should not be too beautiful and her mouth should be slippery!"
"Okay, let me ask for you."
After Lianhua left, Shen Changlin found Wang Changtian and chatted a little more about the sequel to "Xiu Chun Knife". He looked at the time and saw that it was almost half past nine, so he said goodbye and left...
…
Shi Shi sat on the sofa holding his laptop, watching TV and playing games...
The girl is addicted to playing games.
I played "Fantasy Zhu Xian" which I endorsed before, but my boyfriend made "Jinyiwei" and was planning to invite her and Hu Ge to endorse it. She got in touch with it and then started playing this game.
As a web game, "Jinyiwei" has the feel of "The Way of Immortals". After all, the design team is the one who created "The Way of Immortals"...
It is a game that is easy to learn but extremely addictive!
Through various designs: horizontal version, map size, UI, system opening rhythm, and economic system, novice players can also understand the game;
It has a certain degree of gameplay - the battle mode of Jiugongge allows the player's numerical value, strategy and luck to account for just the right proportion, and the player's development also has certain strategies, and the development path is clear;
The achievement point planning is in place, the values are very detailed, and the combat verification of development is excellent;
All designs meet the needs of players to play games in fragmented time.
She was so immersed in the game that she didn't even notice when Shen Changlin walked in...
Shen Changlin walked up to her and bent down to kiss her. The latter then raised her head with a look of joy on her face: "You're back!"
"...um...have you eaten?"
"certainly!"
Shen Changlin looked at a pile of snack packaging bags in the trash can and couldn't help but frown: "Is this all you eat?"
"…What's wrong?"
Shen Changlin pulled her up: "Let's go eat hot pot!"
Shi Shi was stunned for a moment: "Now?"
"Yeah..." Shen Changlin said casually: "I wasn't full just now, I want to eat hot pot!"
"...Wait a minute, we are in a gang!"
"What?"
"Gang activities, gang bonfires..." Shi Shi pointed the laptop interface at Shen Changlin and explained: "I am the gang leader, how can I leave..."
"...You are a good teammate of China!"
Shen Changlin sat down and looked up at the TV. "Snow Leopard" was playing...
The coat of arms...
To be honest, her acting skills are really good, including the affordable man Xiang Nan in "Struggle", Xiao Bei in "Snail House", including Zhou Weiguo in "Snow Leopard"...
Let's put it this way, after "Snow Leopard", a version of "Snow Leopard's Strong Years" was filmed, starring Zhang Ruoyun. The contrast is obvious!
Of course, it's true that Huaizhi is a good actor, but he is also a star.
He didn't refuse and even enjoyed his good man persona.
Therefore, what happened next is definitely your own fault.
Those who gain it will lose it, this is fair!
Just as he was thinking about it, Shi Shi had already completed the gang bonfire mission and hung up directly to spawn monsters: "Okay, let's go!"
"...Well, let's go!"
…
There is a hot pot restaurant near the community. Shen Changlin called to book a private room first, and then walked in with Shi Shi...
"...the bottom of the Yuanyang pot, two bottles of beer...cold, thank you..."
After ordering the food, the waiter closed the door. Shi Shi took off his mask, looked at the layout of the box, and then suddenly asked: "There's something I've always wanted to ask you!"
"Just tell me."
"How much money can you make from "Xiu Chun Dao"?"
"…Why do you ask this?"
"I'm curious!"
Shen Changlin thought for a while, then replied awkwardly: "...I don't know either."
"ah?"
"The total box office hasn't been released yet, and we haven't even started to ask about prices for DVD rights, TV rights, and new media rights yet. How do I know how much I can earn?"
This is true. Generally, the payback cycle for film investment is about one year.
Even if the movie is released in theaters, the money will be given to the distribution company in proportion first, and the distribution company will deduct the distribution fee and then remit the money to the producer. At this time, the promotion fee must be paid first, and then remitted to the producer in proportion.
The whole process lasted for half a year, and defaults often occurred!
"That's it..."
Liu Shishi nodded and then asked: "The love movie you mentioned before..."
"It's called "33 Days of Lost Love"..."
"Are you sure the heroine is looking for Zhou Xun?"
"...Zhou Xun probably doesn't have time..."
Shen Changlin thought for a while and said: "If you are interested, I will support you as the heroine!"
Liu Shishi was stunned for a moment, his expression was a little tangled, and he asked in a low voice: "...Does your company invest?"
"Of course, our company was responsible for finding funding for the entire movie..."
Chapter completed!
