Chapter 981 The Keynote of "Speed Rescue"
The ministries quickly accepted Li Mu's basic demands for "Extreme Rescue". ． Fastest update
Subsequently, the keynote of "Extreme Rescue" was quickly set: the film will be jointly funded and produced by Muye Impression and Golden Shield Film and Television Cultural Center in the future; among them, Muye Impression will take the lead, and the specific shooting of the whole film will be made. , post-production and filming are also based on Makino Impression, supplemented by Golden Shield Film and Television Cultural Center.
In this big tone, the ministries naturally gave Li Mu great respect, because Li Mu himself was the witness of the case, the biggest contributor to the cracking of the case, and also the creator of the script, so the production of this film naturally had to be based on Li Mu. As the core, the Ministry of Public Security only needs to play a supporting role and give Li Mu absolute power to play freely.
For any other film and television company to co-produce a film with the Ministry of Public Security, Jindun Film and Television would not have given such a large authority, but the reason why it gave Li Mu such a degree of freedom is that the ministries are not at all worried about Li Mu's political inclinations. Wrong, for Li Mu, an entrepreneur with strong positive energy and a 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 interested in "Extreme Rescue" have contacted Makino Impression one after another, hoping to jointly develop the film with Makino Impression.
Li Mu, who returned to Yanjing, did not expect that the script of "Extreme Rescue" would become the object of competition in the director circle.
There are many similarities between the director's circle and the antiques circle. The most similar is: the circle is small, the information flow is fast, who gets good things, or where there are good things, the speed of information dissemination is unbelievable.
In this way, the script of "Extreme Rescue" was directly passed on from the ministries to the film and television industry. In just a few days, most directors in China have basically read the script.
As a person who has been reborn after more than ten years, Li Mu really doesn't think his script for "Extreme Rescue" has anything special. In the end, it's nothing more than a complete commercial film with no connotation and nothing. However, what he did not expect was that in this era, domestic commercial films are still in their infancy, and many directors are still crossing the river by feeling the stones, and many commercial elements in the movie "Extreme Rescue" are in this Age appears to be very advanced.
Because of this, "Extreme Rescue" has become an extremely excellent and extremely rare excellent commercial film script in the eyes of many domestic directors, which naturally aroused the interest of countless people.
Muye Impression received a lot of cooperation intentions, and even Ning Hao, who was busy working on the later stage of "Crazy Stone", heard about the script and saw the full version that was circulated.
As soon as I heard that the script is in the hands of Makino Impression, the copyright and shooting rights of the film are also in the hands of Makino Impression,
Ning Hao immediately ran over to ask Li Mu about the specific plans for the movie.
Li Mu was surprised that Ning Hao would be interested in this script.
In Li Mu's impression, Ning Hao himself is not a purely commercial director, not now, nor in his previous life. He was just constantly moving closer to business on the road of pursuing personal realm, but he never completely turned to business.
The script of "Extreme Rescue" is a commercial film as a whole. Li Mu basically adopts the attitude of "what the audience likes to watch, I will write about it", and make commercial adjustments based on the original real events. It is reasonable to say that this is The film would not suit Ning Hao's taste.
However, Ning Hao said, "I don't think this book is a purely commercial film. The name is indeed very commercial, but the content still has a certain depth."
After speaking, Ning Hao explained, "Look, boss, if it is a purely commercial "Extreme Rescue", the protagonist should be like a Western movie, either a special soldier, a special agent or a killer, and the process of his rescue of the heroine is basically It's like a game, fighting all the way to the end, clearing the level, and finally clearing the level and saving the beauty, so the nature of the whole movie should also be an action movie. There must be many elements unique to commercial action movies, such as the protagonist will definitely Get caught, but the enemy will definitely be careless, give the protagonist a chance to fight back, etc."
"However, your "Extreme Rescue" itself is not an action film, but a crime inference film. The protagonist does not have any physical contact with the criminal throughout the whole process, and relies on reasoning to complete the rescue. The script has two opposites: the protagonist and the gangster. Perspective, if you use a neat and agile perspective switch in shooting and editing techniques, you will definitely be able to get a very good viewing effect. In addition, there are two main lines of rescue and love to advance, there are tense and exciting cases, and touching Deep love, if the two main lines are highlighted again, it will definitely leave a very deep impression on the audience, and I believe that we can shoot an annual masterpiece with depth and box office!"
Li Mu smiled and said, "I've made your words almost float. It's just a script full of dog blood. Are you really so optimistic?"
Ning Hao said seriously, "I'm really optimistic!"
Li Mu asked him again, "Then are you interested in directing?"
Ning Hao smiled and said, "It's okay to direct, I know how much I have, but I'm thinking about it, "Crazy Stone" will be finished soon, and then there will be nothing to do, if you want to open this film, boss I hope you can find a famous director of big commercial films to direct, and I will be an executive director to follow and learn and accumulate experience."
Li Mu smiled and said, "If you are interested, you can direct it directly. I can trust your ability."
Ning Hao said, "No, boss, I don't have a reputation. To make a big commercial film, well-known directors and actors are all necessary, because these are the keys to boosting the box office."
Li Mu said: "When "Crazy Stone" is released, your popularity will naturally rise."
Ning Hao said with a smile, "Boss, it's even more inappropriate. "Crazy Stone" is a dark humor with distinct characteristics. If it really becomes popular, I will definitely be labeled with this special label, the best choice at that time. It is to continue to make several films of the same style and cultivate a certain popularity and audience. If I go to make a crime mystery film at this time, I am afraid that the audience will not recognize it at all."
Li Mu asked him, "So you just want to be an executive director in "Extreme Rescue"?"
Ning Hao nodded: "It's best to have a big-name commercial director, so I can learn more by following along."
Li Mu asked again, "In your opinion, which big-name commercial directors are suitable for this drama?"
Ning Hao said with a smile: "In China, of course, Zhang Yimou has no other suitable choice. In Hong Kong, there are more choices. 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 showing it."
When Li Mu heard him talk about Zhang Yimou, he suddenly thought that the most important movie "Hero" in Zhang Yimou's life should be released soon, right? In my impression, this movie was released at the end of 2002, and it is already October. According to the rhythm of a big director like Zhang Yimou, he should have completed the shooting and post-production work of "Hero", and now he has already started planning for publicity and promotion. , and participated in various awards.
As for what other Hong Kong directors mentioned by Ning Hao are doing and what they are doing, Li Mu really doesn't know. He only knows that this year, Hong Kong movies and mainland movies each have one big production. Infernal Affairs".
If Li Mu was asked to think for a while, who would be suitable for the filming of "Extreme Rescue", Li Mu also couldn't think of a good choice. This point needs to be carefully considered before making a decision.
So Li Mu said: "Then when you finish "Crazy Stone" in the near future, let's talk about "Extreme Rescue"."
Ning Hao hurriedly asked him, "Boss, when are you going to shoot "Extreme Rescue"? I have researched it a bit. In fact, this script does not have many scenes, not many characters, and there are no high requirements for visual presentation. The overall production is The cost will be lower and the time will be faster, if the filming is done, it is estimated that it can be done in a month.”
The script of "Speed Rescue" does not have too many scenes, the male protagonist's office, the gangster's lair, and the scene of the abduction of the female protagonist. These most important scenes are very low in time cost and labor cost, and almost all The plot of the film can be shot in a city in Yanjing, and the efficiency is naturally higher. For such a film, one month of shooting is actually enough.
However, Li Mu said to Ning Hao: "There is no hurry for "Extreme Rescue". It can be produced at the end of the year and will be considered for release next year. At the end of this year, our Muye Impression will focus on two dramas in theaters, one is your "Crazy Stone" ", one is "The Girl We Chased Together in Those Years", first make these two movies well, and accumulate some experience."
In addition to the commercial value of "Extreme Rescue", Li Mu is more interested in using it to pave the way for the future Skynet monitoring system. He has just put Hikvision into his sphere of influence, and waits for Hikvision to come in. , it is too late to make this movie after I officially start the Skynet monitoring system.
If "Speed Rescue" is launched too early, attracting everyone's attention to the urban monitoring system, and stimulating the demand of the people and the government for this aspect, there will be a complete set of solutions that cannot be truly effective in the market for a while and a half, then use It won't be long before this popularity will slowly decline, and a great opportunity will be wasted in vain.
Therefore, Li Mu thinks that the best release time for "Extreme Rescue" is to be able to release it not long before he can come up with a complete set of "Skynet Monitoring System" solution, at most three or four months. After the demand for monitoring was stimulated by the movie and continued to ferment, Makino Vision directly came up with a mature solution, which could just use the influence of the movie to expand rapidly!
