Chapter 981 The keynote of "Speed ??Rescue"
The ministries and commissions quickly accepted Li Mu's basic demands for "Speed Rescue". .
Subsequently, the tone of "Speed Rescue" was quickly set: the movie will be jointly funded and produced by Muino Impression and Jindun Film and Television Cultural Center in the future; among them, Muino Impression accounts for the majority, and the specific shooting, post-production and release of the entire film are also mainly Makino Impression, supplemented by Jindun Film and Television Cultural Center.
In this grand tone, the ministries and commissions naturally gave Li Mu great respect, because Li Mu himself was an eyewitness of the case, the biggest contributor to the case being solved, and was also the creator of the script, so the production of this movie naturally had to be centered on Li Mu. The Ministry of Public Security only had to be a supporting role on the name and gave Li Mu absolute power to freely play.
If any other film and television company makes a movie with the Ministry of Public Security, Jindun Film and Television cannot give such great authority. However, the main reason why it can give Li Mu such a great degree of freedom is that the ministries and commissions are not worried that Li Mu's political tendencies are wrong. For entrepreneurs like Li Mu who have extremely strong positive energy and strong sense of social responsibility, it is impossible for him to deliberately discredit the image of the people's police in his film and television works.
At the same time, more and more film and television companies and directors who are interested in "Speedy Rescue" have contacted Makino Impression, hoping to jointly develop the movie with Makino Impression.
Li Mu, who returned to Yanjing, did not expect that the script of "Quick Rescue" would become the target of the director's circle.
There are many similarities in the director circle and the antique circle. The most similar ones are: the circle is small and the information flows fast. Who gets good things or where there is good things? The speed of information dissemination is incredible.
The script of "Speed Rescue" was transmitted directly from ministries and commissions to the film and television industry in this way. In just a few days, most domestic directors have basically read this script.
As a person who has been reborn more than ten years later, Li Mu really doesn't think that the script of "Speed Rescue" is outstanding. After all, it is nothing more than a complete commercial film with no connotation or background. However, what he did not expect was that at this age, domestic commercial films are still in its infancy, and many directors are still crossing the river by feeling the stones. Many commercial elements in the movie "Speed Rescue" appear extremely advanced in this era.
Just as I thought that "Quick Rescue" has become an extremely excellent and extremely rare commercial script in the eyes of many domestic directors, and naturally aroused the interest of countless people.
Muye Impression received a lot of cooperation intentions, and even Ning Hao, who was busy making "Crazy Stone", heard about this script and saw the full version that was circulated.
When he heard that the script was in the hands of his own Moriyo Impression, the copyright and bidding rights of the movie were also in the hands of Moriyo Impression, Ning Hao immediately came to ask Li Mu about the specific plan of the movie.
Ning Hao would be interested in this script, which surprised Li Mu very much.
In Li Mu's impression, Ning Hao himself is not a pure commercial film director, not now, nor in his previous life. He is just constantly moving closer to business on the road to pursuing his personal realm, but never completely turned to business.
The script of "Speed Rescue" is a commercial film as a whole. Li Mu basically takes the attitude of "I will write whatever the audience likes to watch" and makes commercial adjustments to the original real events. In theory, such a film will not be in line with Ning Hao's taste.
However, Ning Hao said: "I don't think this book is a pure commercial film. The name is indeed very commercial, but the content still has a certain depth."
As he said that, Ning Hao explained: "Boss, if it is a purely commercial "Speed Rescue", the protagonist should be like a Western movie, either a special force, an agent or a killer. The process of his rescue of the heroine is basically like a game, fighting to the end, passing the level, and finally passing the level, saving the beauty. Therefore, the nature of the whole movie should also be an action movie. There must be many unique elements of commercial action movies, such as the protagonist will definitely be caught, but the enemy will definitely be careless, giving the protagonist a chance to fight back, etc."
"But, your "Quick Rescue" itself is not an action film, but a crime mystery film. The protagonist does not have any physical contact with the criminal throughout the whole process, and it relies entirely on reasoning to complete the rescue. The script has two opposite perspectives, the protagonist and the gangster. If you use a sharp and straightforward perspective switching in shooting and editing techniques, you will definitely achieve a very good viewing effect. In addition, there are two main lines of rescue and love, tense and exciting cases, and touching love. If you highlight the two main lines, you will definitely leave a very deep impression on the audience. I believe you can shoot an annual masterpiece with depth and box office!"
Li Mu smiled and said, "I've made you say it almost float. It's just a script full of blood. Are you really that optimistic?"
Ning Hao said seriously: "I am really optimistic!"
Li Mu asked him again: "Then are you interested in directing?"
Ning Hao smiled and said, "Forget it, I know how much I have. I'm thinking about it. "Crazy Stone" will be over soon, and there will be nothing to do at that time. If you want to start this drama, I hope you can find a famous commercial director to direct it. I will be an executive director to learn and accumulate experience."
Li Mu smiled and said, "If you are interested, you will direct it directly. I can trust your abilities."
Ning Hao said: "No, boss, I don't have a reputation. It is necessary to make big commercial films, well-known directors and actors, because these are the keys to promoting box office."
Li Mu said: "As soon as "Crazy Stone" is released, your popularity will naturally increase."
Ning Hao smiled and said, "Boss, that's even more inappropriate. "Crazy Stone" is black humorous and has distinctive characteristics. If it really becomes popular, I will definitely be labeled as this special label. The best choice at that time is to continue shooting a few films of the same style and cultivate a certain popularity and audience. If I go to shoot a crime mystery film at this time, I am afraid the audience will not recognize it at all."
Li Mu asked him: "So you just want to be an executive director in "Speed Rescue"?"
Ning Hao nodded: "It would be better to have a big-name commercial film director. I can learn more by playing with it."
Li Mu asked again: "In your mind, which big-name commercial directors are suitable for this drama?"
Ning Hao smiled and said, "In China, of course, it's Zhang Yimou. There is no other suitable choice except him. In Hong Kong, there are more options available. Wu Yusen, Wang Jiawei, and Du Qifeng are all good choices. Their control of the rhythm of the film is perfect, and they have their own way of displaying it."
When Li Mu heard him talking about Zhang Yimou, he suddenly thought that the most important movie in Zhang Yimou's life, "Hero", should be released soon? I remember that this movie was released at the end of 2002, and it is now October. According to the rhythm of a big director like Zhang Yimou, he should have completed the filming and post-production of "Hero", and now he has begun to plan promotion and participate in various awards.
As for what other Hong Kong directors mentioned by Ning Hao are doing and what works they are filming, Li Mu is not very clear. He only knows that this year, Hong Kong movies and mainland movies have a big production. The mainland is "Hero" and Hong Kong is "Infernal Affairs".
If Li Mu was asked to think about who is suitable for filming this "Quick Rescue", Li Mu would not think of a good choice, and this point needs to be carefully considered before making a decision.
So Li Mu said, "Then wait until you finish "Crazy Stone" soon, and then let's talk about "Speed Rescue"."
Ning Hao hurriedly asked him: "Boss, when are you going to invest in "Speed Rescue"? I roughly studied it. This script actually has not many scenes, not many characters, and there are no excessive requirements for visual presentation. The overall production cost will be relatively low and the time will be faster. If it were filmed, it would probably be done in one month."
The script of "Speed Rescue" does not have too many scenes, including the male protagonist's office, the gangster's nest, and the scene where the female protagonist kidnapped. These most important scenes are very low in terms of time and labor costs, and almost all plots can be filmed in a city in Yanjing, so the efficiency is naturally higher. Such a movie is actually enough to shoot in one month.
However, Li Mu told Ning Hao: "The Quick Rescue" is not in a hurry. It can be produced by the end of the year and will be considered for release next year. At the end of this year, our Muye Impression will mainly play two dramas in theaters, one is your "Crazy Stone" and the other is "The Girl We Chased Together in Those Years". Let's do these two movies first and accumulate some experience."
In addition to the commercial value of "Speed Rescue", Li Mu attaches more importance to using it to pave the way for the future Skynet surveillance system. He is just about to include Hikvision in his own sphere of influence. It is still time to wait for Hikvision to officially launch Skynet surveillance system and then invest in this movie.
If "Speed Rescue" is launched too early, it will attract everyone's attention to the urban monitoring system and stimulate the demand of the people and the government for this aspect, there will be a complete set of solutions that cannot be produced on the market for a while, and it will not take long, and this popularity will gradually decrease and a great opportunity will be wasted.
