Chapter 130: Inventory (1)
When making a movie, the boss wants to be faster and more economical, but this is actually a contradiction. You have to focus on something and sacrifice on it. Which one should you focus on? Which one should you sacrifice?
In comparison, we can only sacrifice the ‘saving’ aspect!
For example, the color grading process of "Search" took only one week to complete, but it cost 1 million more.
Because the crew directly hired ‘Hua Lin’!
Hualin, Quancheng Hualin Imaging Art Co., Ltd. is a company specializing in post-production DI image production. It is very famous in BJ. The post-production color grading of "Big Shot" and "Xiu Chun Dao 2" were all done here...
"Search" directly rented all four color mixing rooms in Hualin, and the four Baselight color mixing workstations started working at the same time...
And it works 24 hours a day!
If you meet the deadline, you will have to spend more money.
Shen Changlin was also very tired. He had not slept well for nearly twenty days. Because he was also the post-production director, he had to come to him for any problems with the program. He often fell asleep in the middle of the night, only to be woken up by a phone call!
I simply didn’t go home and booked a room next to the post-production studio...
On the day after the post-treatment session, I went straight home and slept for a full eight hours!
When I woke up, I ate something first, and then called Yang Fan to tell Yang Fan that the later stage of "Search" had been completed!
"I'll go to the studio right away and send the copy to Wang Qingqiang..." Yang Fan then asked, "Boss, what are your plans?"
"Plan? What plan?"
"What are your schedule for the next few days?"
"No...I'm going to hide at home for a few days to be clean. I don't want to do anything right now."
"…OK."
Yang Fan shut up. He originally wanted to ask Shen Changlin what he thought about the promotion of "Left Ear", but when he thought that his boss had been busy with the post-production of "Search" for the past 20 days, he was so tired that he almost lost his image...
Forget it, give him some rest time!
…
Yang Fan sent a copy of "Search" to Wang Qingqiang, who quickly mailed it to Berlin...
Don’t worry about these!
Things in the company are also going on in an orderly manner. Anyway, the company has made a lot of money this year!
Three movies, "Love Is Not Blind", "Big Shot", and "Xiu Chun Dao: Battlefield of Shura" were huge hits, and the company was the main investor and producer, splitting the accounts and adding rewards. The two movies earned nearly 350 million - "Battlefield of Shura" The accounts haven’t come down yet…
In terms of TV dramas, the investment is not small, but the profits are quite high.
Otherwise, we would not have the confidence to directly spend 80 million to create the TV series "Three Lives, Three Worlds, Ten Miles of Peach Blossom".
In addition, the company's IP copyright licensing has also begun to make money. After "Twilight Snow on Thousand Mountains", Biewo Sicun has published three other novels: "Late Spring in the Lonely Empty Garden", "If Life Is Only Like the First Meeting", "Good Times Are Like a Dream" " have been authorized, and the instantly charming novel "Fireworks Faded" and "Gone with the Wind" have also been authorized to Enlight Development...
Also, the four artists under the banner are emerging, and the remuneration sharing is trivial. The key is that these four are all handsome men and beautiful women, and they are very suitable for commercial endorsements...
Zhao Shan has worked very hard to help with the screening, and there are still a lot of brands extending olive branches!
The reason is simple: a healthy image and no bad history...
Anyway, in just half a year, artist management’s income was more than 30 million!
Shen Changlin's words, "Our company is not short of money," are not bragging, they are really not short of money!
Guo Songjiang and Zhao Shan also knew how hard Shen Changlin worked for "Search", so they made a tacit agreement not to disturb him - just give him a few days to rest.
But not everyone is so considerate. For example, Liu Shishi was so ignorant that he walked into the house in the middle of the night and licked him awake...
…
After sleeping with her in his arms all night, Shen Changlin still had no energy when he woke up...
I slowly brushed my teeth and washed my face, then went downstairs to have breakfast.
Liu Shishi looked at him and suddenly thought of something: "Shall we go to the gym together?"
"I don't go to the gym, I'm pretty healthy!"
"You already have a belly!"
Shen Changlin lifted up his shirt, looked at his belly, and hesitated: "...I'm not an actor in front of the screen. If I'm fatter, I'll be fatter..."
Then Liu Shishi said: "Okay, then come with me to a party at noon!"
"Party? What kind of party?"
"It's the theater reception for the crew of "The Left Ear"..."
Waiting across the street!
Shen Changlin nodded: "...You don't have to plot against me. I'm telling you, I'm just lacking energy, not brainlessness!"
Liu Shishi was a little embarrassed: "I'm afraid I won't be able to invite you..."
"I will definitely try my best to promote the movie I produced..." Shen Changlin took a sip of milk, and then asked: "Is "The Left Ear" released on December 30?"
"Yes...but recently we are still discussing "The Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling" and "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate"!"
"It's okay...these two movies are just fun, not as good as you think, otherwise, the market would not be able to exceed 100 million!"
It stands to reason that "Thirteen Hairpins" and "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate" are both super blockbusters, but the two of them together cannot compare to last year's "Let the Bullets Fly" versus "If You Are the One 2"...
"Did you read it?"
"No...but I don't want to see it!"
Shen Changlin has watched both movies, The Original Spacetime. The movie "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate" brought Shen Changlin the biggest bad news. It turned out that Maggie Cheung built an inn in that remote place to watch the movie. The treasure beneath that desert!
This new interpretation is devastating for "New Dragon Inn", turning a story rooted in traditional Chinese chivalry into a Hollywood-style treasure hunt adventure.
Anyway, after "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate", Shen Changlin was completely disappointed with Xu Ke!
I feel that it is foreseeable that he will play "Once Upon a Time" one day.
As for "The Thirteen Hairpins", it is a good movie, but it is a pity that Ah Mou has been strongly influenced by the media in recent years. In addition, during the promotion, Zhang Weiping only had erotic eyes in his eyes, which inherently gave people a feeling of low tone.
By the way, the Douban score of "Jinling Thirteen Beauties" is 7.6, and it will rise to 8.3 in the future...
In fact, the anti-Japanese film Shen Changlin wanted to watch was the kind of film that reflected on why we were bullied - how could the Chinese civilization, with a history of more than 5,000 years, be slaughtered like pigs and sheep by the Japanese invaders?
It's not a plot like "The Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling" where foreigners act as saviors...
This is also the reason why he praised "My Captain, My Group". The creators used this drama to ask us: Who is responsible for the suffering of a nation in the past 200 years?
——I actually had to read a book to know that we were once so glorious, fearless, open-minded, tolerant of the world, and eclectic. Zen masters built Heshun Town without a bridge. Our ancestors walked for five thousand years without role models, but I You have to read to know. I don’t see it from you or from me. This is the problem. What should I do if there is a problem? Change it!
If he were to make an anti-Japanese film, Shen Changlin would make the protagonist first have faith, then have his faith shattered, become confused, and finally regain his faith...
