Chapter 268 The director is eager to seek, the screenwriter is rare (3/5)

A joke circulating in the crowd:

In 1988, Amou won the Berlin Golden Bear Award for "Red Sorghum". Director Chen, who learned the news, was holding the newspaper in his hand and went to the toilet and said, "Isn't it just me a photographer."

This joke is hard to tell whether it is true or false, because the source of it was Hong Huang, who is Director Chen’s ex-wife...

This aunt has been innumerable in her life, so it is very likely that it is fake!

However, the frustration is true.

In the same year, Director Chen took the movie "King of Kids" to attend the Cannes Film Festival and also won an award called "Golden Alarm Clock".

This award was praised by three French journalists in a cafe, which satirizes the movie as boring and sleepy!

Look, isn't it quite unbalanced?

Now Amou has won the third Golden Lion Award, and his status in film history is unlimitedly high...

How could Director Chen, who was born as the enemy of his life, be willing to fall behind?

...

Making film and television is about making content, this is a consensus!

How to do content?

Talent!

After the capital entered the market, a bunch of directors were bound, especially when seeing the precedent of Huayi's success, Huayi's biggest wealth was a bunch of stars!

For example: Chen Guofu left Huayi and formed his own Gongfu Film Company. He had not developed a single project and directly obtained an investment of 400 million yuan.

Capital is just obsessing with him.

Due to the imperfection of the industry standardization system, the profit model of most film and television companies still comes from the box office of the movie and rely more on stars, directors, screenwriters, etc.

At present, domestic first-line directors, actors and other resources are scarce, and the film and television market is highly concentrated in resources such as directors, which has led to more and more cases of celebrity capital bundling.

Of course, capital cannot invest in you just because of you, and you have to bring profits.

So, a betting agreement was born!

The so-called betting agreement is actually an agreement between the acquirer, the investor, the transferor, and the financing party when reaching a merger, acquisition, financing agreement.

If the agreed conditions arise, the financing party can exercise a right; if the agreed conditions arise, the investor will exercise a right. Therefore, the betting agreement is actually a form of options.

It’s a bit complicated to say this, but it’s simple: the county master A is interested in the poor scholar A Yi, and thinks he has made great achievements in the future, so he wants to fund him, but what if he sees it, his money is wasted?

So the master agreed with scholar A Yi: I will give you 100 taels, and you will go to the exam, and I will support you for free if you pass the exam. If you fail, you will have to pay me 300 taels of silver.

Scholar A Yi thought: It is not impossible for me to work hard. Wealth and honor are in danger, so we hit it off and we had a bet agreement.

Betting agreements are very popular in many industries and are more common in the entertainment industry.

Some people believe that the betting agreement has become a "cancer" that hinders the creation of film and television dramas. Is this really the case?

The betting agreement itself is a means to reduce investment risks and encourage financing companies to be proactive.

Most of the time, the goal of betting is exaggerated, and the bubble is blocked, which means that the goal that your current resources are difficult to achieve, and you will be forced to achieve.

In this way, you have to do what you have to do.

A kitchen knife is not guilty, and a knife is guilty of killing someone.

Capital is not original sin!

As a capital investment tool, the betting agreement is neither a cancer nor arsenic. When celebrities sign the betting agreement, they should know the consequences!

Don’t take the money, and say that you took on a bad movie because you were helpless.

Director Chen also signed an agreement, but he signed a binding agreement: "Director Cooperation Agreement", which stipulates that Director Chen will cooperate exclusively with Xinli Media in Greater China during the validity period of the agreement, and will serve as director in seven films produced by Xinli Media. The agreement is valid for seven years and the cooperation signing fee is 21 million yuan.

The first work "The Taoist priest went down the mountain"...

Original work Xu Haofeng… ::

It will be released next year and he is looking for new projects, preferably with both reputation and box office...

To put it bluntly, it is a movie that can win awards and earn box office!

Now, the recognized shortage of capital is, according to Zhang Yimou's original words: the Chinese film market is good now. Frankly speaking, it is easy to get a thousand troops, but it is difficult to find a general. It is difficult to encounter a good script.

Who is the first person to thank for when Amou won the Golden Lion Award?

Screenwriter Lu Xiaoran!

His original words: "I make movies based on the speed of the script. If you have a good script, we can build a group in half a month. We will prepare to shoot two movies next year, "International Market" and "Mei Fault". The script is already very complete..."

"It was all written for me by Xiaoran."

It's OK, Director Chen also approached Lu Xiaoran...

...

Ning Hao had commented on Director Chen before: Director Chen reached a peak in "Farewell My Concubine", but he was later isolated and there was no one around him who told the truth.

He also said bluntly, "I want to marry a good wife."

"Southern People Weekly"

It is true. When he filmed "Loessland", Amou was his photographer; when he filmed "King of Children", Lao Gu was his photographer. Later, after filming "Farewell My Concubine", the two did not cooperate again...

On the other hand, most of his cooperative comrades only accompanied him to the 1999 "Jing Ke Assassination of Qin King", such as the recording artist Tao Jing, the composer Zhao Jiping, and the executive director Zhang Jinzhan...

Amou's executive director Zhao Xiaoding, even the entire team has been working together for more than ten years...

He is surrounded by juniors now...

So, he asked someone to find Lu Xiaoran and said bluntly: "Write a script for Director Chen!"

His unaware of Lu Xiaoran's status does not mean that the people around him do not know it!

Lu Sibai...it will be five hundred soon...

Such people will easily write scripts for others...

Spend money?

What a joke, you talk to him about money?

I have to think of a way...

...

At this time, Lu Xiaoran was filming the scene where Tangtang landed on Earth in "Gravity"...

Previously, the scene where the heroine fell into the water in Apollo, and the remaining long shots will be the scene where Tangtang takes off her sky suit and swims back to the land.

The plot is modified to help the heroine become the American Aerospace Administration...

Two photography assistants have already put on diving suits and will capture Tangtang's performance underwater. Lu Xiaoran checked the crew's equipment and said, "If you have any questions, make a gesture, let's stop immediately!"

“…I have very good swimming skills!”

"You can't be careless, you must know that drowning is all... slap..."

Tangtang smiled and ran aside to prepare. Lu Xiaoran looked at the other side again. The three lifeguards were already in place. If there were any accidents in the underwater actors and photographers, they could go into the water to rescue them as soon as possible.

"Ok! Get ready!"

The underwater scene was relatively simple. Tangtang made a few moves of taking off the space suit, broke away from all the shackles, and swam upwards. She passed through a clump of aquatic plants and soon approached the water surface.

By the way, this scene was taken in a water tank. It is impossible to really find a lake to shoot the pure enough, and the lens is not clear!

The whole process took only a few dozen seconds, and the underwater shooting used high-speed slow motion. The moment she was about to come out of the water, the main camera immediately turned over and clearly captured every move of her.

Tangtang struggled to climb up the 'lake shore' and was unable to stand up. She just pressed her face tightly against the soil on the shore, feeling the earth, feeling the survivor of the disaster, and feeling her rebirth...
