"That's all. That's why I came to you today."
After finishing the planning, Chen mubai is ready to leave and take charge of the later work of iron man.
All that should be said, if you don't know anything in the follow-up work, you can only wait for them to ask again.
Anyway, now the film has not started shooting, there is still time to slowly prepare.
"Then you go and get busy. I'll see you when I have something to do." Lu Fang nodded.
Before Chen mubai left, he suddenly remembered something.
"By the way, brother Lu, send" when happiness knocks on the door "to Cannes Film Festival to see if you can be shortlisted."
Chen mubai said: "if I'm lucky enough to win the prize, I'll be short of a Berlin Film Festival, and Titanic will take the chance to win the prize. If it goes well, I'll be able to achieve this goal soon!"
"Even if it doesn't work, there will be no lack of topicality. Anyway, you have to let out the wind to find the actors. We all know that I want to impact the awards. It's also in line with this practice to send" when happiness knocks on the door "for trial. It can prolong the storm of the Oscars for a period of time, and Bailey will do no harm."
"Just in time, the National Day" electric saw "release, perhaps also for the film to bring some heat!"
Chen mubai is the screenwriter of the movie. If the Oscar storm continues to ferment, it will really bring a lot of heat to the movie and increase the box office.
Now that I have decided to do this, I am not afraid to go to the end with Oscar. It is a successful way to have discussions on this issue all the time.
Although Oscar is trying to suppress it, Chen mubai will definitely not let them be happy.
As for netizens, they are tired of eating melons, and they will go after the freshness.
But if a new melon is added at this time, they will eat very hard.
"This movie, you should not participate in it?" Lu Fang asked.
Chen mubai and Tao Yaoyao are going to make Titanic. Although neither of the two films has been approved yet, according to this progress, there is a high probability that they will be shooting at the same time, so there should be no time to make the film again.
As Lu Fang expected, Chen Mu Bai shook his head, really did not have time to participate.
"Do you have any good actors?"
"You make your own decisions." "The film is launched from a female perspective and will be related to the subsequent production, so the female owner is the most important," Chen said
Lu Fang and his three men have not read the script, so naturally they don't know the plot.
"Similar to biochemical crisis?" Ji Yuxuan asked.
"Biochemical crisis" is also a series of films with women as the protagonist, and "alien" Chen mubai was also said to be a series of films before. In addition, he just said that the heroine carries the cauldron, which is really the same as "biochemical crisis".
"Yes, it's about the production of film sequels. From the audience's point of view, the more this kind of monster and monster series works, the more beautiful the female characters are, the better, which will highlight the charm of women. When the two are together, the visual effect is strong, and the beauty and the beast are more powerful."
"I see." Lu Fang was surprised.
In terms of film and television, his understanding is certainly not as thorough as Chen mubai.
Chen Yunteng and Ji Yuxuan think it's true. Although most of the movies are made by male actors, whether it's action, hot blood or science fiction movies, the appeal of male actors is stronger than that of actresses.
But think about it, the most likely to appear in the supernatural film beauty, indeed this kind of horror, bloody film, the female role can highlight the charm.
Imagine a murderer chasing a beautiful woman all the time, and then her companion is killed one by one. She struggles to resist, and finally kills the murderer with blood all over her body. She suffers some injuries, and her body and clothes are mottled with blood. With a beautiful face, she has a different kind of beauty.
The same is true for monster works. It's easier to highlight female characters, so female owners will be more popular.
In biochemical crisis, Tao Yaoyao's appearance is amazing. At least what Chen mubai says and the response of the market are the same, so this theory is right.
"The background is in China?" Chen Yunteng continued to ask.
"Yes." Chen mubai nodded.
The theme of this film is outer space. Huaxia, as the second largest military power in the world, naturally has this scientific research strength. Therefore, Chen mubai's background is all overhead in Huaxia.
"Then we are all Chinese actors." Ji Yuxuan nodded slowly.
"Chinese female stars, in the eyes of the audience, are only a few well-known for a long time, but they are a little older and have a lot of coffee, but the flow is not high, the appeal is not necessarily good, and the film pay is not low. I feel it is a problem."
Chen Yunteng focuses on female masters and is screening among Chinese actresses.
"I'm also worried that if Chen is always the director, it's OK. But if we are the two of us, we're afraid we can't convince the public. If they don't listen to us, we can't do it."
The female stars who have become famous for a long time are all movie queens. They used to be popular in half the sky. If they were new directors, they would not give them face.
This is the status of actors and directors. If they are big directors, they will naturally be the boss on the set. How to say and what others do.
However, if a well-known actor or director is not well-known, his position will change. If the actor's position is higher than the director's, the actor's right to speak will become more important. Chen Yunteng and Ji Yuxuan may not have so strong control over the set.
Although Chen mubai is also very young, he has a solid record. No one dares to listen to him. Chen Yunteng and Ji Yuxuan obviously have no such qualifications.
"This should not be a problem. As long as the script is written by Mu Bai himself, there must be a lot of stars scrambling for roles, even after the film. Moreover, they also know their own situation. They are not as good as the new Xiaohua. They are in urgent need of works to improve their influence. In order to participate in this film, they are likely to drop their pay." Lu Fang answers Chen Yunteng's concerns.
With the influence of mubai entertainment today, most people will not play big names when they receive their works.
Even if the director is not so famous, but after all, the company's reputation, as long as not brainless people, will not offend them at this time.
If you don't look at the monk's face and the Buddha's face, you will give Chen Yunteng and Ji Yuxuan more or less face.
"So it is."
Lu Fang's words dispelled their worries.
In this way, they can let go of their hands and feet. They just need to let Lu Fang know about it in advance. At that time, when docking with the actors, these words will surely tell each other, which will save a lot of trouble.
Otherwise, some of the people who can enter the group may come in through the exchange of resources. If the relationship on the set is very stiff and it doesn't end well, it's best to take preventive injection in advance.
In the final analysis, they are still relatively simple, and they are not willing to use force to suppress others. Otherwise, they don't care about this kind of thing at all. When they meet disobedient actors, they are directly angry. In the big name actors, Chen mubai doesn't care. In his mind, the quality of the work is the only one.
If the actor fails to meet the standard or makes trouble in the crew, let him go.
"Do you have a good candidate in mind?" Lu Fang looked at them and asked.
"It's hard to say for the time being. Let's go back and discuss it." Ji Yuxuan spoke slowly.
"OK, when I think of someone to contact me at any time, I'll contact the other party again to avoid schedule problems."
At this time, Chen mubai said, "I think it's OK to give it to sister ran."
"Ah?" Lu Fang was a little surprised, thinking that Chen mubai was deliberately opening the back door for him.
He quickly waved his hand and refused: "no, just pick the actors normally."
As long as Chen mubai's plays are well done, the box office will not be bad. No matter who is the leading actor, they will certainly be able to arouse a burst of enthusiasm, and the actors will take advantage of the wind.
"I'm serious, not because of you."
Looking at Lu Fang's righteous refusal, Chen mubai explained: "first of all, sister ran's acting skills are not bad. Moreover, she has a bit of traffic now, which is in line with the female owner's position. Even if she is a movie queen, her acting skills are better than her, and she may not have her appeal."
"The film queen can only show her strong acting skills, but not her strong appeal. Some of them have only had a work for a long time, and some of them have already gone down the altar. The previous works are not without attack, which is enough to show that the audience won't buy it."
"For movies like alien, the most important thing is monsters. The climax of the plot is that we see monsters, not female owners. The protagonist of alien says that female owners are more alien than female owners, which is the focus of attention. Therefore, as long as the female owner's acting skills pass the standard, no matter how high, it's useless. Alien is the focus of attention."
"Different from other movies, the audience's eyes are always on the protagonist, which is limited by the plot. Just like iron man, the focus of attention will only be on the protagonist. But is the point of discussion in monster male and female owners? Obviously not. It's all about monsters, because that's what everyone is interested in and why they are willing to buy tickets to go into the cinema."
"Yes Chen Yunteng's eyes brightened.
"That's right." Ji Yuxuan also agrees with Chen mubai.
Each type of film has its own focus, and the audience's focus is naturally different.
Just like science fiction movies, the plots of many movies are very simple, but why are the audiences keen to discuss and even enjoy watching them?
That's because you're looking at special effects and visual effects, so the performance and plot of men and women are not the key. As long as it's not too bad, no one will care. Everyone's focus is on those cool special effects.
If the special effects are bad, there will be a lot of bad comments.
Another example is "the electric saw is startled". Do you care why an old man of jigsaw can accurately subdue those big victims?
It looks like a plot bug. An old man with cancer has no such strength.
In the later stage, he has helpers who can help him, but the problem comes. At the beginning, when he has done something, his influence will be expanded. So at the beginning, how did he do it alone?
Surely no one will help him with his crazy crime at first?
We don't care how he does it. What we are interested in is the game. The game is novel, and the process is bloody and exciting, so we all focus on it.
It's the same with alien. The audience's focus is on the alien rather than the female leader, so the female leader's role only needs to reach the standard, and the role played by being too excellent doesn't have a great impact.
Just like the passing exam, there is no difference between 60 and 100, as long as you cross the line. It's very popular.
"Mr. Lu, I think it's OK. Does sister ran seem to have nothing to do now?"
Chen Yunteng said, "why don't you try to communicate?"
Lu Fang was silent for a moment and nodded: "OK, I'll go and talk to her."
"Let's take our time to see the rest of the characters. Anyway, the preparation time for the film is relatively long. If there are suitable actors, we can wait for a while." Chen Yunteng and Ji Yuxuan discuss.
Basically, there is no accident in the role of female leader. Shang ran must have won it.
She has no other drama to shoot, so naturally she can take over this one.
Besides, there is no reason to refuse. Lu Fang is inconvenient to recommend Shang ran because of his identity. But Chen mubai takes the initiative to let Shang ran play the female leader, so there is no problem.
......
Chen mubai is the first to leave, while Chen Yunteng and Ji Yuxuan are still in the office. Since they have received the request for Chen mubai's new film, they must discuss with Lu Fang in terms of preparation.
For example, in the case of actors, how much overall investment can be planned and how much early investment can be made.
The investment of a movie is based on a series of budget funds, such as the actor's salary, the crew's expenses, the length of shooting time, and so on. This is the approximate investment amount of a movie.
However, this is not entirely accurate, because it is only a rough estimate. In the process of film production, sometimes it will exceed the budget, so additional investment is needed.
For example, the shooting schedule is lengthened, and the budget for special effects is not enough
For a large production group, the daily salary and lunch box are not small expenses, which are not completed in the shooting plan. Every extra day needs a lot of money.
Since Chen mubai is going to give them the film alien, their film is in the late stage or near completion, so it's time to prepare for a new film.
If you have any ideas or ideas, you can discuss them together, and then make preparations immediately. After their works are released, you can find time to make the film. Now it's the same as making preparations first.
According to Chen mubai, monster models and some real scenes need to be made, which takes time.
Once the setting of the scene is not satisfied, it needs to be modified all the time.
If the background is put in outer space, the most important thing is the space capsule. It's easy to do. The scenes with film and television bases can be rented. If they can't, they can only build their own.
However, the environment of other planets can only be rebuilt. It's hard to find a suitable scene. After all, it's not like a similar scene like the space capsule, where you can find the real scene.
These are all details. If the audience finds that the environment of the outer planet is the same as that of the earth in the process of watching, there are some plays.
In Chen mubai's pursuit, we must hope to achieve the best in details. Naturally, we should pursue perfection in all aspects, and details determine success or failure.
"Mr. Lu, let's finish the script first and see which roles we have and which roles we need to choose from outside. Then you can let them compete." Chen Yunteng thought carefully.
Lu Fang said: "when we get the script, the three of us will discuss the preparation of the film together. We will wait until you finish what you are doing. There is no time to rush."
After the three decided on the production plan of alien, they left the office.
Recently, mubai entertainment needs huge funds, and he also needs a certain amount of time to raise money.
Most of the time, the company's money is used for other investments, leaving only part of the cash to ensure that the cash flow is sufficient.
The shooting of iron man, Titanic and alien are not small investments, let alone other works. In terms of TV series, there are "Legend of the swordsman" and two urban dramas. There are also works in online dramas, which need too much money and need to be prepared in advance.
After solving these problems, Chen mubai devoted himself to the post production of iron man and began to prepare for the shooting of Titanic.
A few days later, he gave the script of alien to Lu Fang. Meanwhile, mubai entertainment released the wind, and Chen mubai's new film began to prepare, with the goal of impacting the three major European film festivals!
