Global Movie Emperor

"Mr. Li, the preparations for forming the crew are now in place. The funds have been transferred and can be used now. I will sort out the project plan later and hand it over to you in an hour. What is still missing is the crew. It has not been established yet, the casting work has not been completed, and the outsourced special effects company has not signed a contract. The filming funds are about 400 million to 450 million, and the publicity expenses are expected to be no less than 50 million. With the management of all parties, the total The investment amount is around 550 million, so there won’t be much deviation.”

Feng Changhao put his pen on the document and finished describing all the current situations. After listening, Li Shanjun frowned and looked at Lu Ze with a smile.

"Lu Ze, you are in charge of the script. Do you have any other needs for the script?"

Lu Ze thought for a while and shook his head. Now the script is very mature. Lu Ze can't find any faults. There is really nothing that needs improvement. Compared with the previous script, Lu Ze thought it was too hard. It was much stronger, and Lu Ze was quite satisfied with it.

Moreover, Lu Ze is already in charge of the script, so if there is any problem, it should be negotiated between Lu Ze and Bai Xiqun. There is no need to give feedback to Li Shanjun. Besides, Lu Ze knows that Li Shanjun is asking this question, so he will not care about any problems with the script.

As for the news that Lu Ze is responsible for the script, will it cause Lu Ze's reputation to become bad, and will he be said to be a big name or something? Lu Ze is not worried about this. You know, during the filming process, the actors were If the script is revised and spread out, it will not sound good, and that will be a big deal. After all, if you think the script is not good, why did you sign the contract in the first place?

But Lu Ze is different. He was appointed by the company to be in charge of the script from the beginning. Although this kind of example is very rare, one is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer. It can't be said about anyone else. It can only be said that Qian Sega is very fond of Lu Ze. He was willing to hand over a movie script with an investment of more than 500 million to Lu Zelai.

In fact, this matter still has to be judged based on the results. If the box office of the movie is very high and it achieves brilliant results, then the public can only say that Qian Shijia has a discerning eye and made the right choice with Lu Ze, and everyone will be happy.

And if the movie fails, then the outside world will criticize Lu Ze. It is normal for the actor to just act, and the script is not something that the actor can interfere with.

This is a gamble, but Lu Ze feels that he has a good chance of winning. The soul of a movie is the script. As long as there is a good script and a talented director with solid professional skills, the risk can be minimized. of.

There are two risks that Lu Ze is still unsure about. One is Bai Xiqun's camera skills. Lu Ze has checked Bai Xiqun's director career before. He has made two movies and a TV series with mediocre response in a small film company. Among the movies, one lost money and one barely recovered its cost. However, the TV series performed fairly well and made some money.

Lu Ze couldn't directly judge Bai Xiqun's ability. After all, how good a film a director can make depends on opportunity. If he encounters a good script that happens to be the subject and type he is good at, it is not impossible to skyrocket from there.

On the contrary, like Zhuang Yu, there are too few examples of one movie taking off. Most directors still have to settle down in the early stages of filming.

Another decisive factor is the actors. This factor is no less important to a movie than the director in any aspect. After all, it is the actors who really enter the audience's field of vision, and this movie is destined to It is to train new people for Qian Sega.

It is obvious that Lu Ze's job has changed from just filming it by himself to Lu Ze leading a group of young people with poor basic actor skills to securely win the film.

Is it possible to let a group of artists who can sing and dance to make a great show? Indeed, acting is easy to get started with, as long as you can memorize the lines and say it without looking at the camera. It is also because of this that as long as you have a good teacher and study hard on your own, generally speaking, the speed of progress is very fast in the early stage.

But this way, Lu Ze would have to take care of his "students" while filming, and also discuss filming issues with Bai Xiqun. It was destined that the filming of this movie would definitely be very tiring for Lu Ze.

But there's no other way. It's a movie invested by my own company... right?

After asking Lu Ze, Li Shanjun looked at Bai Xiqun and He Guohui for the first time. He took a sip of water from the table and asked.

"Now that the script has changed, there are more roles needed, right? The artists within the company shouldn't be able to fill such a large vacancy, right? Director Bai, how do you decide to find actors?"

"That's right, the roles will definitely be mainly based on my own artists. I will arrange the roles for the company's artists as soon as possible. I already know who will play whom. Currently, one-third of the roles are vacant. I plan to give them to artists from other companies. Make film appointments and conduct auditions.”

"How many people are there between the main characters now?"

"Fourteen short."

Without Bai Xiqun opening his mouth, He Guohui reported the number of people. Now the division of labor among the five people, Lu Ze, seemed messy, but in fact it was very clear. Bai Xiqun was responsible for the control and shooting of the crew, Lu Ze was responsible for the planning of the crew, and Meng Nixin was responsible for shooting. He Guohui is responsible for the transfer of artists within the company, and Feng Changhao is responsible for the operation of funds and film supervision.

"Okay, I understand the specific situation. Minister Meng, hurry up and complete the procedures and contracts required for filming. Director Bai, you also prepare the crew as soon as possible. As for the interview, Director Bai, Minister Feng, Minister He, and Lu Ze, The four of you have to work harder. The four of you are jointly responsible for the audition. As for the position of assistant director, Lu Ze, if you can do more work, how about doing it?"

Li Shanjun mentioned the position of assistant director. Lu Ze thought about it and shook his head and refused. He already had a lot of work. If he wanted to be an assistant director, even though Lu Ze knew it, he was really powerless.

"I'm afraid, Mr. Luggage, my time is indeed a bit tight at the moment. The job of assistant director is actually quite busy. I am responsible for mobilizing the crew and I probably don't have time to do it."

"Okay, then let Han Chen be the assistant director. He will not be responsible for the actual shooting, but will be responsible for scheduling the crew. I believe he can still do the job."

After that, the people present carefully discussed the details before the shooting started, and took pens to record it. This is the current arrangement.

It took more than two hours. After all the details were arranged, Li Shanjun announced that today's meeting was over, but stopped Lu Ze before leaving.

"Is this drama to your liking now? If you think it's okay, when will you sign the contract?"

Lu Ze put his bag on his back and glanced at Li Shanjun. He didn't expect that the company would give him such great rights. To be honest, Lu Ze was very satisfied with the existing rights and naturally he would not refuse.

"anytime."

...

The temperature today was a bit ridiculously high. Just walking from the company and walking from the paid parking lot to home, just two short distances made Lu Ze break into a sweat.

After taking a cold shower, I stood at the door of the refrigerator and hesitated for a while, then took out a bottle of beer and opened it. I drank half of the bottle in one go, and then let out a long sigh of relief.

I simply cooked two vegetables and finished eating, then I carried Lame and put it on the sofa. One person and one cat sat on the sofa and watched TV until at 7:30 in the evening, Splendid Media’s official Weibo announced the third episode of "Finding You" After Lu Ze forwarded and commented on a promotional video, he clicked on the minute-and-a-half-long promotional video.

This is really his first time watching...

"find you"......

"Do you know what Wu Lao means? Lao Rong is a thief, Lao Chai is a policeman, Lao Yue is a con man, and Lao He is an escort in an ancient escort bureau."

"Aren't there only four?"

"There is also an old scumbag who is a human trafficker. The scumbag we use now is the scumbag of an old scumbag. These five industries, plus eight side branches, are our current idioms. They are all kinds of. By the way, I don’t know your name yet, my name is Wang Hanlin, nice to meet you."

"My name is Du Xuemei, also...nice to meet you."

This girl met a handsome guy who could talk. His expression was a little shy. She pulled her hair slightly, looked at her toes, and listened to his constant search for topics until she got out of the subway. They got off at the same station. The girl looked a little a little bit. Happily, for her, this may be fate.

...

"Honey, come home with me quickly! Stop making trouble! Come home with me quickly! I know I was wrong!"

"Let go! I don't know you! Help! I don't know him! Help!"

"Du Xuemei! Can you fucking survive! But just fucking leave! You want a bag and a bag and clothes to buy clothes! I just borrowed this month's salary from my buddy, so I don't have money to buy you lipstick! As for you, !”

The two were fighting on the street, and passers-by did not come to stop them. They just stood aside and watched the show and whispered. An old lady kindly stepped forward to mediate the conflict between the "young couple".

"Son, you can't spend money like this. I think this young man is a very nice person. He doesn't live like that. Listen to my aunt and go home. It's too embarrassing to make noises outside. Go home and coax your wife. Don't argue all day. The quarrels have been so intense that the relationship has been diluted by the quarrels. You are such a good wife, and you will regret it when she really doesn’t want you anymore."

"I understand, aunt, thank you, my obedient daughter-in-law. Dapeng is here to pick us up. Hello? Grandson, where are you? Pay me back my salary quickly. The family is almost separated. How can I still have the heart to lend you money?"

Soon, a car drove up to the two of them. In the eyes of everyone, the man pulled the girl into the car and left the street.

.......

In an old dilapidated house, the group of passers-by and the man were eating together at a table. The old lady, carrying a kerosene lamp and a few mouthfuls of food, opened the cellar door and walked down.

The old lady's face was a little strange under the dim light. She threw the rice on the table in the cellar and said something coldly to a naked girl covered only by a black quilt and a few children who looked less than four or five years old. .

"Have a meal......"

...

The snow was falling heavily, but it had obviously just fallen. There was only a thin layer of snowflakes on the ground. A man wearing an orange sanitation worker uniform ran over from a distance with abnormal steps.

He breathed out, looked around, licked his chapped and bleeding lips, wiped the sweat from his forehead with the sleeve of his cotton-padded jacket, and yelled two words at the top of his lungs.

"Double happiness!!!"

.......

"boom!"

There was a muffled sound that shocked the audience, and a line of blood-red characters appeared on the screen.

""Find You" will be released simultaneously nationwide on August 13, 2021..."
