Li An looks gentle, speaks without being impatient, but is very persistent in his heart.

He is responsible for the quality of the film, and he does not want to make a bad movie, which will ruin his reputation and ruin his martial arts dream.

Because it was too late, everyone just exchanged some opinions and did not have a deep discussion, and there was still a chance tomorrow.

Back in the room, Lin Zixuan considered Li An’s thoughts.

According to Li An’s request, it is necessary to invite the production team of Xiangjiang, including the martial arts and behind-the-scenes staff, which will definitely cost a lot.

Lin Zixuan has learned that in Xiangjiang, a martial arts film, a martial arts film alone costs at least one million US dollars, and this million US dollars includes all the martial arts scenes in a movie.

This is how the martial arts films in Xiangjiang are filmed. The director films of literary dramas and the martial arts are contracted to the martial arts.

In addition to the pay of the staff of Xiangjiang and supporting actors, it is estimated that more than 30% of the investment will be accounted for.

Lin Zixuan naturally wanted to use mainland staff. Not only did he pay low, he could also allow them to participate in such large-scale productions, increase their experience, and accumulate technical skills for independent domestic blockbusters in the future.

The advantage of using the production team of Hong Kong is that they are in line with the production model of Hollywood in terms of work habits.

They are very skilled in communicating with Hollywood, such as photography, sound effects and stunts, and there are no many obstacles. They understand what foreign audiences like to watch, which can make the film more international.

This should be the reason why Li An chose the Xiangjiang team.

Li An is a very adaptable director. He uses the production team of Baodao in Baodao, and when he arrives in Hollywood, he uses the production team of Hollywood. He feels that the local staff understand the local culture and make authentic things.

He would not take the team from Treasure Island to Hollywood, and what he would shoot would not be a pure Western film.

This time, he wanted to use the production team of Xiangjiang to make a genuine martial arts film.

Lin Zixuan can compromise on this. As long as the video is filmed in mainland China, mainland staff can participate.

If you want a film to be released in North America, Hollywood Film Company is an unavoidable topic. And if it is a large company, the ability to promote and distribute small companies is limited and cannot achieve the expected results.

After reaching a preliminary agreement with Li An, Lin Zixuan will contact Hollywood film companies.

The next day, the shooting continued.

Li An found an assistant and took Lin Zixuan and his group to visit the set to understand the filming process in Hollywood.

This drama has only started less than a month after it started filming. They took advantage of the winter to finish shooting the outdoor scenes, and the remaining scenes can be performed in the studio, which will take about five months to shoot.

If the time of post-production is included, Li An will not take over "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" until the second half of 1998.

"According to this plan, even if Li An agrees, the actual filming of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" will not start until 1999. We must be prepared for a long-term battle." Lin Zixuan joked.

"Good things are a lot of trouble. If you have time, you can think about the role." Chen Daoming said without any worries. "I think Li An wants to make a different martial arts film. He has his own ideas in it."

This is indeed the case. Yesterday everyone talked about Xiangjiang’s martial arts films. Although Li An did not say it clearly, he was not optimistic.

When you watch martial arts movies, you can watch photography, or if you watch beautiful things, or if you watch beautiful things, or if you watch beautiful things, or if you watch beautiful things.

Li An was not very interested in the photography and lighting methods of Xiangjiang martial arts films. What he wanted to shoot was different from those films.

For example, in the previous martial arts films, the cameras were shot from bottom to top, which made people feel flying high, and at the same time, it could avoid the appearance of wires in the camera. Li An felt that it should be shot from top to bottom.

In the air, the audience can see the entire process of the actors getting up, landing and flying.

In this way, the picture can be kept beautiful without losing its dynamic and wildness. Light skills are to move, fly over the eaves and walk on the walls, and complete them in one go.

This is the only way to give the audience a sense of freshness, otherwise they will feel that the movements are not beautiful enough and have no rhythm and rhythm.

Filming in Hollywood is very regular and follows the shooting plan every day. There is very little overtime because the cost of working overtime in Hollywood is very high, especially for big stars, the daily filming time is stipulated in the contract.

When the time comes, big stars will leave to participate in other activities.

After finishing the work, Li An continued to talk with Lin Zixuan, and this time he talked about the funding issue.

Xu Ligong had a fundraising plan for "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", which is to borrow from the bank. Loaning from the bank requires collateral, which is a contract.

They are planning to pre-sell the overseas copyright of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" before the movie is filmed.

This pre-sale is not just about taking cash, but signing an issuance contract with overseas film manufacturers.

Then, applying for a loan from the bank with a pre-sale contract may not be common in China, just like making a fortune in nothing, but it has certain feasibility in Hong Kong and Taiwan.

In Xiangjiang, such a large bank loan must be guaranteed by an insurance company before it can be borrowed.

The prerequisite for insurance companies to be willing to take insurance is not only trust in Li An and others, but also to pre-sale the copyright of the video before handing over the film in the future.

After filming the movie, Li An handed over the movie to the buyer who was pre-sale and returned it to the bank after receiving the payment.

This process looks simple, but in fact not everyone can do this. If it weren't for the name Li An, the overseas copyright of the movie might not be sold at all, and the insurance company would not have taken this risk.

This is influence. They believe that the films made by Li An can make money and will only buy them.

Lin Zixuan was not opposed to this operation. He took this approach when filming "The People of Beijing in New York", but at that time he used the Chinese TV station's patch advertisement as collateral.

Good Dream Company can take out three million US dollars to start this project, and the remaining funds will be loaned to the bank.

However, loans are subject to restrictions. Banks, insurance companies, as well as film manufacturers who have obtained pre-sale contracts, will supervise the filming progress of the film for their own interests in order to prevent accidents.

The talks were good the first two nights, and the two sides reached an agreement on key issues, so everyone relaxed.

On the third night, Li An took time to watch the video "Spring in a Small Town".

He admired the performances of Director Chen, Yu Feihong and others. This film is in line with his previous films, and they all express the traditional Eastern culture through the stories of a family.

However, if it were Li An, he would not have taken this photo, and he would have taken it more passionately.

Especially between Zhou Yuwen and Zhang Zhichen, the two old lovers met, and the fire was dry and the fire was vigorous, and he would show more about the struggles and compromises between men and women.

Maybe the ending remains unchanged, but the process in between is definitely different.

Each director will have his own interpretation of the same story and shoot different feelings. (To be continued.)
