Chapter 87 Rejection
How could Shi Shishang know what Yang Xiaomi wanted to do with her...
She thought it was just catching up on old times!
Shen Changlin probably knew that because Yang Xiaomi contacted him some time ago and wanted him to invest in "Little Times", not because she wanted to make him money, but to ask him to help fight for the right to speak on the project!
Yang Xiaomi was the first actor to agree to star in "Tiny Times", and Huanrui also joined the investors...
It was originally agreed that she would be one of the producers.
Then An Xiaofen from Dasheng International Media invited Chai Zhiping to join!
Tsk tsk, when Chai Zhiping came, he immediately changed all the actors that had been discussed before, and all the protagonists were replaced by Wanwan artists...
In the original time and space, it was even more outrageous. Every day the notices were written in traditional Chinese...
Is this still a mainland crew?
Chai Zhiping is the producer, and she brought in the entire team. How could it be possible without using people from her company?
Yang Xiaomi is numb!
The reason why she appeared in "Tiny Times" was to introduce new people, and all her people were changed at once...
But the producer thinks highly of them. Chai Zhiping is an idol drama star!
Moreover, they are particularly good at public relations. Director Guo Jingming was very happy to be coaxed, and several other investors also received the benefits and also sided with them...
It’s so annoying!
And among the four leading actors, apart from her, the other three are not considered good...
Let's make it clear, let her take the position.
It’s a common routine, that’s how Lin Zhiling rose to power back then!
Mainland teams have long seen this routine!
Therefore, in "Blood Drop", Huang Xiaoming persisted...
Yang Xiaomi was very unhappy, but there was nothing she could do...
Therefore, she wanted Shen Changlin to do a favor and wanted him to join the crew. Shen Changlin directly advised her, 'If you don't like it, then stop doing it. You don't need this drama!'
Yang Xiaomi retorted, "This is "Tiny Times"!"
You are determined to act, so...who do you blame?
"...Then come on!"
I thought everything was fine, but I didn't expect that she would pay attention to Shi Shi!
After looking at Shi Shi, Shen Changlin thought about it, then told her about the matter, and advised her by the way: "If I just want to play with you, then forget it, but if I let you also star in "Little Times", I think it's still okay. Already…”
"Don't worry, I know you don't like Guo Jingming, and I don't like him either..."
Shi Shi gave a positive expression and said by the way: "I still have "The Year in a Hurry" to shoot!"
"...Okay, I'll leave first."
…
The post-production team has been assembled, and editor Zhu Liyun, who has been working together for the third time in a row, has officially started the post-production of "The Band of Thieves". According to Shen Changlin's prediction, the post-production of the film will not be completed until early April next year at the earliest. …
A full eight months of planning.
Mainly because special effects take time!
Without the extremely cumbersome computer CG special effects synthesis, Shen Changlin is confident that all post-production work will be completed in three months. Unfortunately, the special effects cannot save time and effort...
Unless it’s the 50-cent kind!
Shen Changlin assembled the top special effects companies in the country, and almost 700 people worked together to complete the special effects production of "The Band of Thieves". This was not just for the sake of making 50-cent special effects!
By the way, we need to release a trailer first...
After all, it’s going to be released in theaters!
Computer special effects are quite tedious and professional work. Shen Changlin can put forward his own requirements and give instructions on the scenes produced, but if he is asked to do it himself, it is completely beyond the scope of his capabilities...
Li Xiaoping also came here today. After reading the rough cut, she was going to persuade Shen Changlin to convert it to 3D.
There is no other reason: 3D tickets are more expensive, and they can dominate the IMAX theater...
"Sister Xiaoping, "The Band of Thieves" is not suitable for 3D conversion..."
Shen Changlin directly rejected the proposal: "Most of the scenes in the movie, especially the action scenes, are at night. Although there is no problem with the brightness, 3D rendering will make the film darker and cause too much burden on the human eye. …The most important thing is that we shot more than 3,000 shots, and we have to use fast editing to promote the plot. If it is 2D, the audience may still be able to accept it, but if it is converted to 3D, I think most of the audience will be dizzy!"
"Have you studied 3D?"
"Of course, although I am not a technical director, I am not a conservative person either. I have always paid attention to the development of film technology, and I have also conducted detailed investigations on 3D technology!"
Li Xiaoping nodded: "... 3D is all the rage now... We believe that the key factor in the success of "Painted Skin 2" is 3D!"
"So, the last two parts of "Famous Four" will also be converted to 3D?"
"right!"
Shen Changlin shook his head: "Audiences are not fools. They may buy it once or twice, but what if it happens too many times? That will be harmful to the entire film market, and may result in a plummeting box office for the entire region."
"...No, with the increase in the number of screens, overall, the movie box office is rising!"
"What I'm talking about is affecting the audience's confidence in domestic films..." Shen Changlin sighed: "In fact, Hollywood is also doing it to convert to 3D in the later stage, but we were ridiculed when we did it, and Hollywood did it to release it as soon as possible... Is harvesting leeks more noble?"
It’s not a well-known double standard. The main reason is that the post-production conversion of "Painted Skin 2" is too inferior. According to the words of netizens: 'Only the subtitles are 3D!'
Coming out of the conference room, Li Xiaoping thought of one thing: "Have you heard about it?"
"What?"
“‘Looper’ successfully squeezed into the National Day schedule! I really don’t understand what the bosses are thinking!”
The situation is already very tense. Four domestic blockbusters!
You have another Hollywood movie…
Shen Changlin waved his hand: "I heard that this is a Sino-US co-production. Maybe the higher-ups want to encourage Sino-US co-production!"
Li Xiaoping didn't know what to say: "...maybe!"
"Looper" is a Sino-US co-production, it's such a co-production!
The producer claims to "help Chinese films go global," saying that the film not only has Chinese investment but was shot in China. Chinese actor Xu Qing also plays the wife of the leading actor Bruce Willis in the film...
However, after watching the movie, the audience discovered that Xu Qing's scenes totaled no more than 5 minutes, and there were not many scenes involving Chinese scenes.
This was a good thing, but later the Film Bureau strictly scrutinized Sino-US co-productions...
Afterwards, "Cloud Atlas", "The Expendables 3", and "Iron Man 3" failed to obtain co-production indicators.
Why are you so keen on co-production indicators?
If a film is released as a co-production, the studio's share of the revenue can reach 43%; if it is released as an imported film, the studio's share of the revenue is only 25%...
At least 15% of the account is divided every time!
…
When Shi Shi met Yang Xiaomi, they exchanged pleasantries for a while. Then Yang Xiaomi mentioned "Tiny Times" and wanted Shi Shi to star in it. Shi Shi refused without thinking.
Yang Xiaomi couldn't understand: "There are tens of millions of readers of "Tiny Times", this movie will definitely become a success...Why don't you act in it?"
Shi Shi looked at her, and then explained: "...I don't like Guo Jingming very much, and people around me don't like it either... Why do you want to act?"
Yang Xiaomi sighed: "Is it because of Shen Changlin? He advised you not to accept it?"
"...He didn't persuade me, mainly because I didn't like it. It was too pretentious..."
"Pretentious? So, if you don't like it, then you still acted in "Left Ear"?"
"...On the one hand, I don't like it, but on the other hand...I accepted the movie version of "The Year in a Hurry" and didn't have time to take on other roles."
Yang Xiaomi looked at her in surprise: "Did Su Lun find you?"
"...Yes, what's wrong?"
"Nothing..."
Chapter completed!
