Chapter 377 0377, Legendary Films Company

Yunfeng looked at the two curious babies Wang Defa and Ma Siyu, and repeated it again, saying: "Yes, I wrote a script with the theme of music and love, and then the second sister played the heroine."

Wang Defa thought of a possibility and asked: "Waiting for someone to have coffee? Are you at the same table?"

Ma Siyu shook his head and analyzed: "No, the web drama and movie rights of "Waiting for Coffee" and "My Deskmate" have been sold. There is no reason to buy them back and make them ourselves."

Yunfeng smiled and said: "It's a new story - "The Secret That Can't Be Told"."

Wang De raised a question mark and said: "Secret? And you can't tell it?"

Ma Siyu asked doubtfully: "Can't you tell us?"

Tang Yu, who was on the side, couldn't help but laugh out loud after hearing what they said. "You misunderstood. It's not that I can't tell you. It's that the name of the story is 'The Secret That Cannot Be Told'."

Wang Defa and Ma Siyu said "Oh" and then laughed, confused.

"If you want to read the script, I will send it to you later." Yunfeng immediately brought the topic back to the topic and said, "For now, let's discuss opening a film and television investment company."

Wang Defa took over and said: "Except for the comic "Wind and Cloud I, II, III" and the novel "The Legend of Yang Jian", the film and television drama copyrights of other comics and novels have been sold. However, the funds are abundant, and we can continue to acquire copyrights or The script is fine.”

Ma Siyu interjected: "However, film and television investment companies have to be differentiated from the company's internal structure. They are divided into, 1. [Investment Company] + [Production Company] + [Other Business], 2. [Investment Company] + [Other Business] 】, these two types.

After a pause, he continued: "The former has its own film and television production capabilities, such as large film and television companies such as Penguin Film and Television, Panda Film and Television, Tianyi Film and Television, etc. The latter does not have complete production capabilities, but will be involved in the business field. A company that makes selective investments in film and television projects.”

Wang Defa nodded and said: "Yes, compared to the simpler latter, the former's team will be larger, such as the shooting team, which requires photographers, directors, prop masters, etc., and the film and television post-production team, which requires editors and special effects artists. , synthesizers, etc. If you want to develop artists, you also need artist managers, artist assistants, etc. "

The two of them had done this homework a long time ago, and it finally came in handy today.

Yunfeng and Tang Yu didn't expect it to be so complicated, and they both fell into thinking.

Seeing this, Ma Siyu said: "Madman, how to choose the company model mainly depends on where you are, investor, director, screenwriter, producer, actor, or do you take it all in."

Wang Defa followed: "In different countries and regions, the production models of film and television dramas are also different, including [writer-centered system], [director-centered system], [actor-centered system] and [producer-centered system]."

For example, in Europe, the United States, Japan and South Korea, whether it is TV, animation, or movies, all "centers" point to creativity. Directors and actors are all trying to realize the creativity of the screenwriter. It can be said that the screenwriter is the core and soul of the entire show. , not only the story depends on him, but the script also depends on him, and the actors' dialogue also depends on him.

The domestic production model is different. For example, for a movie, the producer first finds the director. The director has an idea and then finds a screenwriter to write the script. For example, the producer buys the copyright of a novel and hires a director to direct it. If they think it is feasible, they will find a screenwriter to adapt the novel into a script. In TV dramas, the screenwriter comes first and the director comes last. The producer first looks for the screenwriter, and the screenwriter has almost completed the script before looking for the director to film.

Yunfeng said: "Other positions will not be considered for the time being, just screenwriter."

After saying that, he added: "However, I want to have absolute power, even higher than the director and actors."

Extensive revisions can indeed ruin a work.

But if the dialogue written by the screenwriter is inappropriate and the rhythm is inconsistent, it does need to be revised.

Whether on Blue Star or on Earth.

No matter how good a screenwriter is, he must be mentally prepared for his script to be changed.

Even in Hollywood, once the screenwriter sells the script to the producer, it means that the other party has absolute power to change the content of the script. After all, the movie requires the cooperation of everyone, and it is impossible for the director and actors to follow the script word for word.

The key is that the film industry needs mature commercial films to be mass-produced, and mature commercial films require directors, screenwriters, and actors to perform their respective duties, and no one has great privileges.

Of course, this does not guarantee that the screenwriter's creation and the director's filming will be protected. Against big-name actors, actors can change the script beyond recognition.

However, after entering the new century, the production channels of domestic film and television dramas have become more and more complex. The participation of many private enterprises has brought about a hundred flowers blooming in subject matter, but there have been few breakthroughs in production standards. In terms of production, they strive for speed and topicality. The pursuit of excellence has become the mainstream, and the importance of the story has been minimized. Coupled with the inflow of hot money, actors have become increasingly important, even more than directors, screenwriters, and producers.

If you are unhappy with this, the screenwriter can become the director or producer himself and decide the direction of the movie in his own way.

Therefore, Yunfeng added "must have absolute power", which is very important.

After listening, Ma Siyu suggested: "Then, let's choose the model of [Investment Company] + [Production Company] + [Other Businesses], so that we can control everything about the filming of film and television dramas."

Speaking of this, his expression changed. He got into the trap and got to know Yunfeng from the novel "Zhu Xian". It can be said that it is a very meaningful work, but it was filmed like this. He was so angry and said: "The online drama "Zhu Xian" is a lesson learned from the past. A few popular celebrities and fairies dominated the entire drama and ruined the entire drama."

Tang Yu did raise a question, saying: "Dafa just said that this model has a relatively large team, and the investment in a film and television drama is not small. Do we have enough money?"

Hearing this, Wang Defa pondered for a moment and said: "If you are just filming "The Secret That Cannot Be Telln", I personally think there is no need to open a company. If it is to make money, it is better to use the [investment company] + [other business] model." ”

At this time, everyone looked at Yunfeng. The final decision on this matter rested with him.

Compared to writing songs and singing, writing novels and drawing comics, it seems a bit complicated and troublesome.

Ma Siyu and Wang Defa's suggestions both make sense.

Yunfeng rubbed his chin.

As for the current plan, there are the Fengyun series of film and television dramas, the "Legend" series of film and television dramas and "The Untold Secret". Later, there will be other novels such as "Tomb of the Gods", "Detective Conan", "The Spirit of Food", etc. For film and television dramas adapted from comics, as well as some film and television dramas from the past life on Earth in my memory, you must have the right to make decisions on scripts and actors.

After he thought about it, he said: "According to what Lao Ma said, as for money..."

Before he finished speaking, Ma Siyu jumped in and said, "This is my responsibility. I can get a sum of 200 million to 500 million from my father, which can be used to participate in companies or invest in film and television dramas. "

He chuckled and continued: "My dad and mom are very optimistic about lunatics."

Yunfeng was stunned, pointed at himself and said, "Are uncle and aunt very optimistic about me?"

"Yes." Ma Siyu nodded, then put on an old-fashioned look and said, "They said that since I don't want to take over my family's breeding farm, I should just follow you and don't go to bars and nightclubs all day long."

This guy……

If you say you don’t want a family business worth tens of billions, you really don’t want it.

It’s not that he dislikes this industry or that it’s troublesome, but that Ma Siyu has his own pursuits and dreams.

and.

When Wang Defa heard that there was a capital injection of 200 million to 500 million, there was basically no problem. He said: "I will start preparing to register the company and recruit people next week. Where is the company name?"

Yunfeng only knew how to combine last names, but this time the founders were four people. No matter how they matched Yun, Tang, Wang, and Ma, it didn't sound good, so he suggested: "How about continuing to use 'Legend' This name?"

Wang Defa said: "I agree."

Ma Siyu said: "I agree too."

Tang Yu said: "I have no objection."

In this way, Legendary Film and Television Company was established.

When I reach my senior year, I have less coursework and will face job hunting, postgraduate entrance examinations, and graduation thesis.

For Yunfeng and others, these are not problems, and it is relatively easy.

Therefore, all my thoughts were devoted to the preparation of the movie "The Secret That Cannot Be Tellable".

Although Yunfeng does not direct or act, he completed the script and has to lead the entire drama.

Furthermore, filming "The Secret That Cannot Be Told" is not just for fun, it is about making money and admiring Yun Yun.

So, first of all, you have to understand the market.

Love is an eternal topic.

Judging from the development of genre films worldwide, romance films are a relatively precocious genre.

but.

Because the storyline of romance films is relatively well developed, the conventional characteristics of the characters are more obvious, and there are so many classics that are difficult to surpass, etc., this subject matter is difficult to film in the whole world.

Analyze by type.

Action movies use thrilling scenes to get the audience's adrenaline pumping.

Comedy movies use humorous lines and exaggerated actions to make the audience laugh.

Thriller or suspense movies use sophisticated story structures and complex narrative logic to drive the audience into a brain-burning exercise.

However, when it comes to love movies, it becomes complicated, because love is too personal. Everyone has experienced it, but it is different. Therefore, the individual differences of the audience lead to the desire to film a love that most people like. Movies become even more difficult.

As a result, there have been various love movies that mix elements of love, such as science fiction love movies, war love movies, martial arts love movies, etc., which have made the already shaky love movie market even worse.

"There are challenges."

When Yunfeng went to learn about it, he realized that making a movie is not an easy task. Making a movie that is both well-received and popular.

then.

He went around the film industry again to see where the current trend was.

Just click on a post pinned to the top of the home page.

The poster is a well-known director in the industry and has written thousands of words.

"What are you looking at?" Tang Yu came out of the shower with wet hair.

Yunfeng put down his tablet and wiped her hair while saying, "There is a director who blames the poor box office of domestic love movies on the fact that domestic audiences don't like to watch love scenes."

Tang Yu smiled and said: "This is a bit nonsense. Can this also blame the audience?"

In the domestic film and television drama market, most directors and producers do not pay much attention to the love part. They almost use it to add drama to the relationship, or to delay time, etc., which results in the love scenes in film and television dramas being either extremely embarrassing or embarrassing. Extremely tasteless.

If you don't respect the audience, how can you get their love?

Yunfeng was too lazy to comment on this matter, and changed the subject: "The director has been decided, Huang Hai."

Tang Yu asked: "The director of "Tiger Rose"?"

Yunfeng replied: "Yes, that's him."

The film and television production team of Legend Film and Television Company has been formed, and the selection of directors and actors has begun.

In the list of directors given by the producer, only Huang Hai is not the main shooter of love movies, and his fame is the smallest, but his filming techniques and understanding of movies are more in line with Yunfeng's requirements.

Tang Yu asked again: "What about the actor of the male lead?"

Yunfeng replied: "There are several candidates. I will go to Hangzhou tomorrow to discuss with them."

He wants absolute power, but he is not a one-man show. He will listen to reasonable opinions.

The next day, Yunfeng came to Legend Film and Television Company.

"Mr. Yun." Producer Jiang Yong came to the office and immediately introduced the middle-aged man behind him, "This is Director Huang Hai."

"Hello." Yunfeng greeted politely and said politely, "I have heard of you for a long time."

Huang Hai smiled slightly and said, "Mr. Yun is too polite."

Although the two had never met, they were not strangers. They had indirectly cooperated. "Tiger Rose" could become the box office champion of domestic love movies in film history. Yunfeng's two songs "Because of Love" and "If You Forget" played a great role.

Huang Hai was not surprised that Yunfeng entered the film and television industry. Cross-border is the synonym of Yunfeng.

As for absolute power, he didn't care much. As long as the money was enough, it would be no problem for him to be a nominal director.

After negotiating the price and all other related matters, the two parties signed the contract on the spot.

"Here is the script. Director Huang, take a look." Jiang Yong handed a folder to Huang Hai.

"Okay." Huang Hai took the folder, opened the first page, and was stunned for a moment.

This script is very special. It is text + pictures.

He thought, Yunfeng is a comic book author, so it is normal for him to draw some situations.

So, he continued to read.

But, the more he read, the more something was wrong.

This is not a simple situation comic, but a storyboard script!

He glanced at Yunfeng, and his eyes were full of admiration.

Because comic storyboards are different from movie storyboards.

First of all, the movie screen is moving, accompanied by sound effects, colors, and even real actors performing, the purpose is to give you more sensory stimulation, so that you have a sense of reality. On the other hand, comics are much more "simple" and laborious, with static pictures, self-turning pages, and no sound, which cannot be compared with the "reality" of movies.

Secondly, the pictures of movies appear in front of us one by one over time, the size of the screen is unchanged, and each independent shot is similar to the composition of a painting, while comics appear on the page in multiple frames at one time, and each frame has different sizes and shapes.

Therefore, judging from the movie storyboards drawn by Yunfeng, it shows that he has studied and has reached a professional level.

When Jiang Yong saw the script, he was just as surprised as Huang Hai. In his ten years of working in the industry, he had never seen or heard of a screenwriter writing a script like this, doing the director's job.

Yunfeng was looking at the information of the actors selected by Jiang Yong for the male lead.
