Chapter 424 Help Me Shoot This Movie First!
"Sister Hua, you really don't rest!"
Holding the notebook Xu Anhua gave in his hand, Yin Jun said with a smile.
Xu Anhua drank a cup of coffee, and said in a harmonious voice, "It happens that you are such a rich man, of course I want to be able to shoot these scripts sooner! I won't miss this village, and there will be no such shop."
In this era... no, in every era, the market for literary films is very narrow.
Even in places like Europe and America.
You are not a big company, and you already have a great background, how can you invest in literary films?
Unless it is in such wonderful places as France, Italy and other Western European countries, the market for literary films is very small.
Naturally, the same is true of Xiangjiang's impetuous society.
Those who do not make commercial films in Xiangjiang are basically finished.
This was still in the 1980s and 1990s. After 2000, all those who made commercial films in Xiangjiang were finished, let alone those who made literary films.
Xu Anhua can guarantee that every investor will not lose money, and winning a big prize is like drinking water, so few people are willing to invest in her new film. In the end, it was Liu Dehua who sponsored the filming, let alone other directors up.
Therefore, Yin Jun can also understand Xu Anhua's inner feelings very well.
She really has a sense of urgency that "if I don't hurry up to shoot, I may not be able to shoot".
Before Xu Anhua filmed "Crazy Robbery" and earned 1.3 million Hong Kong dollars, Yin Jun finally gave her a bonus of 500,000 yuan, plus another 500,000 yuan to invest in her next movie.
What Xu Anhua showed now was the movie Yin Jun had imagined.
"Bumping Right".
This ghost film with comedy is not like Xu Anhua's handwriting, but she took a different approach, looking for a discussion of human nature among ghosts and monsters.
All right.
You read that right, Xu Anhua used the perspective of ghosts to explore this world, and also expressed some of his unique thoughts.
And Xu Anhua's filming, even if it's a ghost show, can't be vulgar, and it's even more impossible to have some shit, the quality is absolutely guaranteed.
Because a lot of absurd jokes were added in it, the final box office of this movie was quite good. It ranked fifth on the 1980 list, selling 3.6 million Hong Kong dollars.
Yin Jun invested in "Crash into Righteousness" not because it could make money, but to tie Xu Anhua to his chariot.
In the future, if the stars on my side want to win all kinds of awards, shouldn't they rely on the director of literary films?
Xu Anhua is one, Zhang Wanting and Luo Qirui are also one, Tang Shuxuan can do it if she wants.
Sunglasses King... Sunglasses King...forget it.
Once the King of Sunglasses is on the wrong path, there is no way to stop him. Yin Jun really doesn't want his stars to make a successful movie with him for three to five years.
Thoughts flashed by.
Yin Jun looked at Xu Anhua's budget, she still didn't write much, the total was only 620,000, there were some parts and some parts.
This time it was a little more than the 400,000 of the previous "Mad Robbery", but not much more.
She still uses the old team, whether it is the screenwriter or the behind-the-scenes staff, Zhong Zhiwen is also among them.
Speaking of which, at the Golden Horse Awards at the end of this year, her "Mad Robbery" was a very successful award-winning film, winning three awards for Best Feature Film, Best Editing and Best Cinematography.
Among them, Zhong Zhiwen won the first award in his life by relying on photography.
"I'll give you another 500,000 for the budget. If you have more money, you can do it more carefully." Yin Jun pondered, "But I have two young actors here, please help arrange them. The first one is Wen Bixia, The second one is Li Zhi, they just need to play a supporting role."
"good!"
Xu Anhua is a director who knows how to compromise with capital, and Yin Junrang's arrangement is not an important role, so naturally she is willing to agree.
Yin Jun then said a few more words: "Wen Bixia is my younger sister. She hopes to play a good role when she grows up, so sister Hua, you can teach her more. Li Zhi is the granddaughter of Mr. Li Minwei. This child comes from a very rich family background. Poor, she has taken on the burden of taking care of the family at such a young age, so it is not only necessary for her to learn more about acting skills, I also hope to give her a good reward."
"I understand." Xu Anhua smiled, this Yin Jun was indeed as gentle and considerate as the rumors said, and he took such care of his two unrelated younger sisters.
Of course she didn't think that Yin Jun had any thoughts about the two little girls, one was only 14 years old and the other was only 9 years old.
"However, Sister Hua, before you shoot this movie, I still have a book, and I want to ask you to direct it." Yin Jun took a script from the bag next to him and handed it to her, "If possible , I hope you can start preparing for the United States in March."
Xu Anhua was taken aback for a moment, and suddenly felt a little excited.
Of course Xu Anhua knew that Yin Jun was a genius screenwriter, and also knew that Yin Jun was not only good at making commercial films, but she had only watched "Seven Days of Love" twice, and learned a lot from it.
Now suddenly Yin Jun took out a notebook and asked her to take pictures, how could Xu Anhua not be excited?
When a good director sees a good script, he will feel itchy, and she is no exception.
But Yin Jun wanted her to continue shooting, so Xu Anhua was a little undecided.
I already have a shooting plan!
Putting aside other thoughts, Xu Anhua took a deep breath and opened the script.
its name
called
"Autumn Fairy Tale".
Xu Anhua didn't read the script fast. She read the script with more than 50 pages and the script with more than 100 pages for more than 40 minutes.
Then, without saying a word, she turned back and read it again.
After putting down the script, it was getting dark outside before I knew it.
"This script..."
Xu Anhua sighed, and looked at Yin Jun with a complicated expression: "Jun Shao, what kind of person are you? Why are you able to write such a script that touches people's hearts? It doesn't fit your life experience at all. ah!"
"Some things don't need to be experienced, just to be felt." Yin Jun said without changing his face, "If you stay with a group of old men and old women every day and listen to their stories about the past, you will feel the same way."
In the orphanage where Yin Jun was born, there are many outstanding things hidden, which have long been explained in detail by the Xiangjiang media.
Even Yin Jun himself felt that what he said was too modest after reading the jokes they made up. What they said was a pig cage city on the rivers and lakes!
But Yin Jun will not expose them. Let them brag about these things, and people will believe them, and they will not think Yin Jun is so against the sky.
Xu Anhua obviously also thought of this situation, and sighed unconsciously, "It would be great if I had the opportunity to hear their stories, but unfortunately they have already been demolished..."
"Yes!" Yin Jun smiled lightly.
If I don't dismantle it, how can I make this fairy tale more complete?
"If I come to shoot this book, Jun Shao, what conditions and requirements will you give me?" Xu Anhua calmed down his emotions and asked instead.
Before Yin Jun spoke about "Autumn Fairy Tale", he had already agreed to invest in "Bumping into the Right". This kind of sincerity in giving first and then begging made Xu Anhua unable to refuse.
Besides, "Autumn Fairy Tale" is a good movie, Xu Anhua fell in love with it after seeing it, how could he not make it if he had the chance?
"The filming fund is 5 million. I also have friends in the United States, who will provide you with a lot of help." Yin Jundao, "As for the protagonist, I prefer Zhou Runfa as the male protagonist. Breath, and the temperament that changes after the struggle; I want to use Zhong Chuhong as the heroine Li Qi. You can arrange the rest yourself."
Xu Anhua would definitely be unhappy if someone else arranged for the male and female protagonists.
This is also the reason why she often fails to attract investment. If she pleases the big boss and arranges their love affairs in the movie, tens of millions of investment can be obtained.
But she just didn't want to, she just had to choose the script, choose the actors, and settle everything before going to solicit investment.
This is the stubbornness of literary directors.
Then again, if they weren't stubborn, they wouldn't be able to make such an unforgettable movie.
Fatty Wang is not stubborn, so he has made too many shit and fart films, and few of them are really remembered by people.
In Xu Anhua's eyes, Yin Jun is different. "Autumn Fairy Tale" was originally written by Yin Jun. He must have the most thorough understanding of this script, so there is no need to worry about him randomly finding someone to shoot - isn't this pouring his own stove? ?
Furthermore, besides writing scripts, Yin Jun's ability to know people is also highly respected by the film and television circle.
As long as it's a script he's involved in, no matter if it's a TV series or a movie, the people he recommends are guaranteed to be the most timely.
For example, Bao Qingtian and Wei Xiaofan who were amazing at the beginning, then Chu Liuxiang, Zheng Shaoqiu, Su Rongrong and Zhao Yazhi, Xu Wenqiang, Zhou Runfa, Feng Chengcheng and Zhao Yazhi... etc. Among the TV stars in Xiangjiang, almost all of the top ten are Yin Yin. Jun's help is inside.
In this way, Xu Anhua didn't have any doubts about Yin Jun's vision.
She also went through the script twice in her mind just now, substituting both Zhou Runfa and Zhong Chuhong into the roles, and she felt that it was generally not bad.
Since Yin Jun thinks they can do it, let them have a try!
If it really doesn't work, Yin Jun won't say anything if he wants to change someone... If it really doesn't work, I still have Yazhi!
Xu Anhua made a decision in his heart, "Then I'll start the preparations in the past two months! I'll try to finish filming in July and August... By then, I should be able to shoot "Crash into the Front", right?"
"certainly!"
Yin Jun smiled and said, "As long as you have enough energy, Sister Hua, we can make movies every year."
With his words, Xu Anhua laughed unconsciously.
It is really a happy thing to be backed by a rich man who understands art and supports art!
