Chapter 882 Extra 23: Da Mimi's PlanAfter discussions among all parties, the company's project preparation speed has increased.
We also contacted Changan to start cooperation.
Are you interested in expanding the Tang Dynasty Cultural Tourism City that was originally built?
This city can be said to have the deepest historical and cultural heritage. It is so amazing that even its name was changed.
This place carries the glory of the Tang Dynasty and also contains the elegance of the Han Dynasty.
The development of the project was quickly recognized by the local government, which planned to invest in the development.
Of course, it is not impossible to borrow the original buildings, but it will not fit the style of the subject matter.
The contrast between the luxury of the imperial court in Chang'an and the misery of the underworld is also one of the highlights of the film.
This is a chaotic era. The people are suffering terribly. The court is powerless and incompetent. The powerful officials are bullying the people. This is bound to be reflected.
Especially when I heard that it was Chen An’s project and the project was launched very quickly, this was definitely a natural publicity point!
Haven’t you seen that the movie “Little Forest” directly turned a small village in Central Plains into a 4A-level scenic spot, and there is a constant stream of visitors visiting there every year.
It is not the most popular scenic spot in the country, but it is also very popular, and many overseas fans of Chen An come here to check in.
It's really enviable and makes people drool!
So the Light Year party who originally came to negotiate was worried that it would take some time, but who knew that the other party was more interested than themselves.
Things that were originally thought to be difficult were quickly accomplished.
I thought if I couldn’t figure it out, I would try cooperating with Hengdian.
Although the preparation of "Mythology: Yellow Turban" was earlier than that of "The Legend of Shushan".
But the latter is faster.
Over the years, Xu Ke has never forgotten this failed project, even though he did not write the script.
But I have always had many ideas, and it doesn’t need to be as troublesome as the former!
Major domestic film and television bases can meet the needs for shooting locations.
Hong Kong Island’s style of doing things is fast, and licensing is no exception.
Perhaps it was due to more than ten years of preparation, the script was completed very quickly!
He shared many of his ideas with Chen An. Fortunately, Chen An felt good about his ideas.
It didn't cause the situation where the Wachowski sisters were trying to attract investment and find actors to introduce and explain "The Matrix" and no one could understand them.
Looking at the manuscript prepared by Xu Ke, the format is similar to that of a comic book, the storyboards are neat and clear, and the pictures are very freehand in style!
"I have found the right person. I knew you had not forgotten this project after all these years."
"Although I haven't forgotten about it to the point of forgetting to eat and sleep, I have certainly not forgotten it. Sometimes I will remember it from time to time."
Xu Ke slapped his knees with a look of regret on his face. The failure of the project was indeed a big blow to him.
It was later hailed as a masterpiece, but the film's losses remained unchanged, which also announced that the project was indeed a failure at the time.
Chen An continued to appreciate the manuscript prepared by the other party. The characters had no faces, but the rough outlines also appeared very charming.
In this regard, the other party is unique and far ahead of others!
You can learn a trick from them.
After watching for more than an hour, Chen An put down the things in his hand and said, "The company has made a budget, and the production cost is about 6 million. What do you think?"
Hearing this number, Xu Ke's eyes lit up unconsciously and he said happily:
"That's enough! We don't need 6 million."
"It's not up to me to say whether it's more or less. It's professionally counted by the company. You just need to take a look at the plan. The project is a collaboration between several parties, and people from several companies will go to the crew to help participate in the production. I hope you understand."
Although Chen An said it more tactfully, his meaning was very clear.
In this special period, several companies that have just experienced a cold winter are optimistic about Light Year's projects and the great director Xu Ke.
But nowadays, everyone is keeping a tight grip on funds, and the era of lavish spending is gone forever.
Every family wants to be able to save money.
Thanks to the meticulous work of a group of Hong Kong directors such as Wu Baige and Chen Kexin in his early years, Xu Ke has achieved his current status.
Xu Ke had no objection to this: "No problem, it's easier to shoot with more helpers."
He waved his hand to show that he understood and didn't take it too seriously.
He is old now, and he is not here for the real money.
"Well, then you should prepare to officially take over the project. It is expected to start filming in the second half of the year." After getting the news, Xu Ke did not stay any longer. He chatted for a few more words and then officially left.
Chen An looked at his back. Even at his age, he still walked briskly and seemed to be in good health.
However, the other party’s project is approaching, and if our own project can start before the end of the year, our efficiency will take off!
Preparation of manpower, props, costumes, venue construction, etc. not only requires money, but also time.
Especially as for the venue, we are already designing it so that we can shoot and build it at the same time.
The wind in Liangshan is strong and cold, and the yellow sand it blows up is very dazzling. The conditions are indeed harsh.
In the crew of "Octagon Cage", Wang Baoqiang, who usually doesn't look very smart, directed the crew in an orderly manner.
Wang Xun was holding a lunch box and eating while saying, "Baoqiang, I didn't expect you to be such a good director."
"Hey, I learned it from my boss, and Brother Wei. When we're filming, I'm willing to ask them questions and they're willing to teach me."
"It means they all think highly of you."
"Maybe. I'm lucky. The boss and Brother Wei are both very nice to me."
Wang Baoqiang grinned.
He always felt that he was lucky. After having performed as an extra for several years and having suffered for several years, he understood how difficult life was. Then he met two noble people, Brother Wei and Director Chen.
How could he have imagined twenty years ago that he would be able to achieve what he has today and become a director?
A strange color flashed across Wang Xun's small eyes under his glasses, which quickly disappeared. He smiled and said:
"No one can stop this kind of luck. Baoqiang, I envy you so much."
“It’s not that good actually.”
Wang Baoqiang lit a cigarette and looked up at the sky. His hair was a little messy and his face looked a little weathered.
Many netizens said that "Detective Chinatown 1" came true, and just like the lines in the movie, some pains can only be understood by yourself.
Swallowed the broken teeth.
Fortunately, I haven't made any mistakes in these years, and I even borrowed money from Brother Wei to pay the taxes.
Wang Baoqiang finished his cigarette before reaching out to pick up his lunch box and swallowing it in one gulp.
Looking at the children wolfing down their food not far away, he must succeed this time!
Ever since Yang Mi joined the crew of "The Long Season", she has been thinking about how to get in touch with Light Year Pictures.
Unfortunately, this crew is not from the direct lineage of Guangnian, and the director Xin Jiang is also a defector.
When Chen An was filming, she hadn't joined the crew yet. Only after she joined did she feel like she had missed out and it was like a toothache.
However, after "lowering his status", he took on "The Long Season".
She had some exposure to Lightyear Pictures.
So she found out about one of Lightyear’s latest projects, “Her Disappearance.”
"Contact them and try your best." Yang Mi instructed her assistant and agent.
No matter what, we have to find an opportunity.
The agent didn't dare to guarantee it, "I'll contact him and see if there's any chance."
She felt that the chances were slim, as Light Year's projects were notoriously difficult to connect to in the industry, and were basically released only after they were all taken up internally.
It is of course good to be able to be involved in light-year projects, but if Yang Mi continues to lower her status and play some insignificant supporting roles, it will more or less affect her commercial value.
The brands he endorses are not too happy about it either.
Yang Mi didn't think too much about it. She knew that if she wanted to get promoted, she had to get out. "It's okay to be a supporting role, or to reduce the pay. Anyway, I want to fight for it!"
