392. Today is different from the past
What Wang Yifan said was nothing more than the old wine in a new bottle.
Highlight the changes in the times in local cities, but we must not put the cart before the horse.
The main thing is to have a good story. Even if it is a movie that is fully sponsored and customized by the local government, they definitely hope to let more people see it. Otherwise, they can only be entertained by themselves. Then, making such a movie is a waste.
After all, like Haixi City, there is no shortage of money at all. What it lacks is a city business card, or it may not be a city business card. It just wants to create more business cards that can be taken advantage of in terms of film and television.
Why is Wang Yifan so enthusiastic?
Is it purely to help Li Mingjuan? Surely not!
But things are ready-made, and he is just a simple task, followed by interests, reputation, and good relations with the Fujian Provincial Government.
At the same time, he was also helping Li Mingjuan.
Li Mingjuan fell into deep thought, and Yang Ming was a little confused. He had never seen the movie "Gratitude Heart", so naturally he didn't know what it was about.
But Li Mingjuan knew it clearly.
"Does Director Wang tell the first story?" Li Mingjuan raised her head and asked.
Wang Yifan smiled and nodded.
"The background is Haixi City, through the growth and experience of two generations, it is naturally shown that the development of a city is different from the two eras." Wang Yifan said with a smile.
"Of course, the story must be changed. After all, the first story of "Gratitude Heart" is relatively simple. It is difficult to make a movie." Wang Yifan added.
Li Mingjuan smiled and told Yang Ming, who was a little confused, about the story summary of "Gratitude Heart". Yang Ming understood it, but he still frowned because it was a little different from what he expected.
Moreover, in Yang Ming's opinion, is this Wang Yifan a little unworthy of his name? In his opinion, this kind of story is really not very good.
He felt that such movies were not much different from those they had previously customized and sponsored.
"Let's do it this way, you think about it first. I'm still busy here. You have to think it through carefully. Let's talk more carefully, okay?" Wang Yifan looked at Yang Ming, and said lightly without caring about it.
Li Mingjuan sighed, knowing that Wang Yifan also has a temper, Yang Ming showed it too obviously.
Yes, Yang Ming represents Haixi City, but Wang Yifan is not a young director like her, Li Mingjuan. Yang Ming showed such an expression. Although it was nothing, Wang Yifan obviously could not spoil him.
Another thing like this can't be negotiated in one go. Haixi City has a hometown that is not Wang Yifan, and they don't have such a deep friendship. Therefore, it is for Li Mingjuan's sake that he is willing to say these words.
Naturally, Li Mingjuan will not continue to get entangled, she needs to communicate with Yang Ming well.
After leaving the crew, Yang Ming frowned and said, "Director Li, isn't the story you told too simple? Moreover, even if it is revised, it is still only a small cost, and it is difficult to meet our requirements."
Li Mingjuan sighed and said, "Director Yang, Director Wang Yifan is not an ordinary director. He is not only a billion-dollar director, but also a shareholder of Huaxin, and not a small shareholder. He is willing to say that, which is already very considerate. Moreover, in terms of film, Director Yang, I am bluntly speaking, he is the real expert."
"Director Yang thinks the story of "Gratitude Heart" is not good enough?" Li Mingjuan asked again.
Yang Ming was actually a little uncomfortable. Although Li Mingjuan said it tactfully, she was almost not talking about him directly and didn't understand the movie at all.
Hearing Li Mingjuan's words, Yang Ming was stunned for a moment and said, "It's not that the story is not good enough, but hasn't such a story been photographed? And it seems that it is difficult to highlight the local characteristics of Haixi, right?"
Li Mingjuan shook her head and said, "But Director Yang knows how much the box office of "Gratitude Heart" is?"
Yang Ming was stunned for a moment. He didn't really care much about this before, but when he heard Li Mingjuan's words, he suddenly realized it.
Yes, the box office of Wang Yifan's movies seems to be less than 100 million, except for the initial ones.
The box office was 100 million, and the box office was over 100 million a few years ago.
It's ridiculous that he actually thinks the story is too simple, and he thinks that Wang Yifan's name is not worthy of it.
"Director Li, I'm sorry, I'm indeed a little bit erratic just now, but Director Li thinks, is such a story really OK? You should know that if the project is done, the leader will definitely ask. At that time, I think it will be difficult to convince them with such a story." Yang Ming's attitude has changed a lot, but he still insisted.
Li Mingjuan smiled.
"Director Yang, what Director Wang said is not just to let us use that story, it is just a reference."
"And Director Yang probably doesn't know that Director Wang Yifan, but is known as the music director, usually has excellent songs in his movies. The two complement each other, using song public opinion and using movies to tell the story behind the songs. So, since he has said so much, he must have thoughts in his mind, but..." Li Mingjuan stopped here.
"It's just something?" Yang Ming asked curiously.
"But, Director Yang, you need to think clearly. What exactly do you want?" Li Mingjuan glanced at Yang Ming and said.
"What do you want?" Yang Ming repeated this sentence and nodded.
In fact, local sponsors movies want to use the movies as a carrier to create a city business card, but what is the best way to do it?
Who can tell it clearly?
Although Haixi City is not short of money, it is relatively common. If you spend money and things are done, it will naturally be worth the money. But if you spend money but you can’t see any splash, what is that? Is it a waste of money?
When ordinary businessmen are involved, the loss is only some money, but when placed in a local government, it means that it is unfavorable to do things and has to take responsibility. Therefore, they are so cautious and pay attention to it.
For Yang Ming, this is a big thing he has at hand. If he does it well, it will naturally have a bright future. If he doesn’t do it well, it will be a big stain for him.
No one in the officialdom said that if you don’t do this well, it’s not your fault. If you don’t do it well, it’s your fault, it’s not!
For Wang Yifan, this was just a small episode. His mind was not separated too much, and he was still filmed in an orderly manner.
The filming of the movie was quite smooth, and Li Junsheng is also an old actor. His characteristic is stability. Although it is difficult to have any big explosions, once he enters the state, he is very stable and his acting skills are always online.
In fact, this is the actor that Wang Yifan likes the most. Perhaps some art film directors will like some nerve knife actors and some actors with explosive acting skills. However, for commercial film directors, they really don’t need such actors. On the contrary, Li Junsheng is the favorite of commercial film directors such as Wang Yifan and others.
