Hualiu Director

Chapter 60 Lin Hong's Career Planning

Although the program team gave 2 days to submit the script, in fact, except Lin Hong, who wrote the script temporarily, everyone else had the script in stock, so when Lin Hong handed in the script, everyone had already submitted it.

However, Lin Hong's "Ask the Director for Advice" is already a bit special. Although he is the co-director of He Lei's studio, the other three producers pay a lot of attention to him.

So as soon as Lin Hong's script was submitted to the program team and the four producers, they couldn't wait to watch it first, and they did not disappoint.

Lin Hong's new script "I Listen to It, I Hear It Like This" is very old-fashioned from the name, just listening to the name gives people a kind of oriental romance, but after watching it, I realized that it is actually a science fiction film.

Huang Li: It's still a familiar taste, with few scenes, few characters, and an exciting story. It's a pity that such a good movie can't be screened in theaters.

He Lei: Yes, I agree with Mr. Huang's words. Sometimes I want to persuade Lin Hong not to make this script, just find a short film to deal with the program group.

Wu Bin: Farewell, two teachers, we have already said on the platform that we will compensate Lin Hong as much as possible, and Penguin Pictures will apply for suitable films for major awards, and the honors that should be won will not treat Director Lin Hong badly. .

Wang Pangzhi: Oh, I miscalculated. Teacher He Lei shouldn't have snatched Lin Hong away in the first place. It seems that Lin Hong still has 2 films to make. He Lei, you have made a lot of money.

Cheng Xi: Is Lin Hong still in Ningbo?

To say that Cheng Xi is the most honest of all these people, what's the use of you regretting it, this show is only a few episodes, and Lin Hong is still a small investment, when he can really start his hands and feet, the sea will be broad With the leap of the fish, the sky is high and the birds fly.

He Lei: No, he went to Shanghai after lunch.

Cheng Xi: Shanghai?Did he go after Yao Yao?

He Lei: No, there is nothing wrong with the two of them, and Wang Yang is not happy about it.

He Lei actually has a bit of a temper, because a couple of young people she personally arranged were beaten with sticks, and He Lei lost her aunt's smile. Would she be happy?

Cheng Xi: Wang Yang disagrees?Crazy this is (dog head emoji)

Huang Li: What else?

……

Others in the production crowd immediately ate melons, so everyone has a heart for gossip. cooked fidelity.

Lin Hong didn't know that he had become someone else's target. He was drinking tea in a teahouse near East China Normal University.

Tea is good tea, the authentic Yuqian Longjing tea, which is fragrant and elegant, is most suitable for cultural people.

As an artist, Lin Hong is of course considered a cultural person, but compared with the two cultural people around him, his knowledge is still far behind.

However, Chen Min, who drank tea with Lin Hong, was not the most knowledgeable, because sitting here was a professor with three doctoral titles, two 985-level university professors, and an international research institute. This person was Professor Qin Liu. .

The tea in Qin Liu's cup on the tea table had been cold for a long time, but the tea artist did not change the water for Qin Liu, because he hadn't touched the tea since the first time he picked up the script.

After reading the last page of the script, the tea master immediately replaced Qin Liu's cup with freshly brewed hot tea without reminding him.

"Director Lin Hong, you really just went to Beijing Film Academy, are you sure you haven't studied other majors?"

Qin Liu really likes this script, rich imagination, rigorous plot logic, the most important thing is the ingenious combination of serious scientific setting and romantic human history, this is definitely the favorite of intellectuals literary works.

"I like movies of various themes, and I am even more fascinated by sci-fi movies, which involve too many fields, so I like to read books on various subjects before my senior year, especially physics and astronomy, because I have a huge cinematic world I want to film.

This time, the time was tight and the investment was small. It happened that Mr. Chen Min was inspired by the reception the day before yesterday, so I wanted to try to shoot a sci-fi film with 180 million yuan and 15 days. "

Lin Hong's words were half true and half false, but it was still possible to deceive people other than himself. For example, he really read a lot of books that had nothing to do with his major before his senior year, and even became obsessed at one point.

"I agreed to the invitation of this professional consultant, but I'm not sure about playing the role of Professor Zhao. I'm afraid it will delay your progress. After all, fifteen days is too fast."

Qin Liu is a person who is willing to try new things, but first of all he is a very reliable person.

"The scene of this movie is very single, we can follow the plot, which will greatly reduce the difficulty of shooting, and the role of Professor Zhao is not much, we will have an acting instructor on the scene, and I will also help you explain the play, so Please professor, you don’t have to worry at all. Besides, I’m not afraid as a director, so you have nothing to worry about.”

Qin Liu was moved by what Lin Hong said, he thought about it for a while, and then stretched out his hand to express his agreement to Lin Hong's invitation.

Lin Hong was in a very good mood after securing a supporting role among the eight roles, and also got a professional consultant by the way.After agreeing on the time and place for the filming to start with Qin Liu in the teahouse, he left.

Chen Min also parted with Lin Hong after leaving the teahouse. He helped Lin Hong visit Professor Qin Liu this time, and now that he is busy, he has to go back to school to teach.

Lin Hong didn't return to the capital right away. He still had to visit an actor in Shanghai, who was also the leading actor in a new movie that Lin Hong wanted to invite.

The meeting with Qin Liu was to drink tea, and the meeting with the actors of literary and artistic films was of course an appointment in a coffee shop.

Because he was not familiar with Shanghai, when Lin Hong came to the coffee shop, the other party had already arrived. Seeing Lin Hong entering, Qin Hao stood up and said hello.

That's right, the actor Lin Hong met this time was actually Qin Hao, an actor who had met once at a hotpot restaurant in Beijing. This time, after writing the script, Lin Hong thought of several suitable male lead candidates, including Qin Hao .

Speaking of this, I have to thank Huang Li. The business card he left at the hot pot restaurant last time really helped. Qin Hao took the business card to visit Huang Li on his own initiative, and this time Lin Hong found it easily through Huang Li. Qin Hao.

Out of trust in Huang Li, and because of the success of "Three Monks" and "Don't Stop the Camera", Qin Hao deliberately postponed the audition invitation of another crew today, and brought his agent here, which shows that he also attaches great importance to it. This time we met.

After the two sides exchanged simple greetings, Lin Hong took out the script to Qin Hao. He believed that it would be difficult for an actor in a literary film to refuse such a good script, especially since his current status is far less prosperous than that of a similar flower in his previous life.

Sure enough, as Lin Hong expected, Qin Hao clearly told his agent immediately after reading the script, "I must get this role!"

Although Qin Hao's agent has not read the script, he is very confident in Qin Hao's ability to choose the script, so the next step is his job.

"First of all, I would like to thank Director Lin Hong for thinking of my Qin Hao, but I don't know how long the filming cycle is."

In fact, the other party already knew that this was a variety show entry, and they must have known the news that it was half a month old. They were actually asking about the salary.

"The real shooting time is less than a week, and it can be faster if it goes well. However, because we only have a production budget of 180 million according to the program group regulations, the salary will not be too high. Brother Qin Hao, I can only give you 20 yuan at most. Wan, I know it's low, but..."

"It's okay, I'll take it."

The agent was speechless for a while, and thought: Brother, no matter how much you like the script, you should at least pretend, so that I have a sense of presence, or at least let this young director remember you when he has a good role in the future.

Lin Hong was surprised by Qin Hao's frankness, so he has a better impression of him. Such kind-hearted actors will communicate well both in life and on the set. As long as they don't fool them artistically, they will definitely show more to the director. .

After finishing Qin Hao's contract, the two didn't say goodbye immediately, but sat down and talked about movies, especially when it came to literary films, the two actually had many of the same views. I admire him even more, and Lin Hong also recognizes Qin Hao's ability to appreciate and analyze movies more.

Qin Hao originally planned to invite Lin Hong to lunch, but Lin Hong knew that Qin Hao would go to another group for an audition in the afternoon, so the two made an appointment for the next time, and then Qin Hao got in the agent's car and hurried gone.

Lin Hong was in a very good mood after coming to Shanghai to confirm the candidates for two important roles. In addition, the selection and layout of the rest of the roles and scenes were being carried out simultaneously in the capital, so Lin Hong was not in such a hurry to return to the capital. I want to go shopping again in the city of Shanghai.

Like many tourists, Lin Hong shuttles around the streets and alleys of Shanghai with a camera on his back, sometimes he randomly gets on a bus going to nowhere, and sometimes he gets off the stop for a casual stroll.

Lin Hong's camera is full of famous landmarks in Shanghai. If someone who is knowledgeable sees them, he will recognize that many of them are from the angle of viewfinder.

In fact, Lin Hong has already had his own career plan, and making good movies appear in this world is only one of them. What he wants to do more is to use film and television dramas as cultural export, so that excellent Chinese culture can go to more and farther places. Just like Hollywood does.

After thinking about it, Lin Hong felt that apart from documentaries such as "A Bite of China", Lin Hong felt that the most suitable for cultural export would be superhero science fiction films.

Since it is for cultural export, it is of course best to use Chinese people in China to film Chinese stories in order to have the most export value.

Imagine the Spider-Man who makes "Huanggang Secret Scroll" every day, the Chinese captain who likes to eat fried noodles, and the Iron Man who lives by the Huangpu River...

There are no Marvel superheroes in this world. As long as the plot is modified properly and the audience does not have a preconceived image, this is a super IP that can explode. See no reason not to be successful.

Because the capital is a political center and a national symbol, many movies are not suitable for shooting in the capital.But Shanghai is different, the atmosphere of entertainment here is stronger, and the marketization and commercialization are more open than BJ, and many things can appear in movies.

Lin Hong's huge film project needs a charming international metropolis as the background, just like Marvel in the previous life needed New York, DC needed Gotham City, and Lin Hong set his sights on Shanghai.

Just wait, you won't have to wait long for superheroes to roam the skyscrapers of Shanghai.
