Chapter 673: The Big Guys All Want to Come and Hang Their Names
Su Yang smiled and didn't answer directly, "I'll introduce you to a director in the past two days." You study with him and see how to tell a story. β
Guo Fan: ...
Is this a failure?
Su Yang felt that there were more than a few, that is... Not good.
The male and female protagonists are set up and strange, if it weren't for Xiao Ha smelling that this project does have great potential, Su Yang would dare to say that this broken script is a street script...
So Su Yang planned to let Wu Feng and Guo Fan have a good chat. It just so happens that Wu Feng himself is also an actor in "The Wandering Planet", so it's good to meet in advance and come up with ideas.
Thinking so, after Su Yang and Guo Fan chatted a few more words, they went out to call Wu Feng.
Wu Feng has just been idle recently. Because "Wolf Warrior" is finally released.
After two months of screening, the final box office of "Wolf Warrior" was fixed at 701 million. will exceed 700 million.
directly logged into the top 20 of the movie box office list, ranking 18th in film history!
Ranked 8th among domestic films!
Having reached this result, Wu Feng can be regarded as handing over a satisfactory answer sheet for his turnaround.
Now when it comes to Wu Feng, although everyone still has some doubts: for example, will he just make a good movie at this step? Will the lower part be pounced? Could it be that his part is just a coincidence?
But... but at least recognized his talent as a director and actor, and also gave him the status and respect he deserved.
So after the end of the movie's screening period, Wu Feng can be regarded as a success, and he is extremely comfortable. Every day, in addition to saving a sequel a little bit, is rest.
After all, both actors and directors have a period of exhaustion, and he was too tired to shoot "Wolf Warrior" before, and he also needed time to rest.
As a result, Su Yang made a phone call and directly let him rest in vain.
In the face of himself, Brother Su, Wu Feng was still full of gratitude, so after Su Yang explained the situation, he immediately said that he would rush over this week to see the situation of this movie, and then have a good chat with Guo Fan.
After the matter was settled, Su Yang's heart was put down.
Because he participated in the production of "Wolf Warrior", he knew that the main line of the script of "Wolf Warrior" was actually determined by Wu Feng, and Wu Feng, as a director, has his own unique understanding of Hollywood-style popcorn movies, and he is also the first director to bring Hollywood-style pure commercial films to China.
And the essence of "The Wandering Planet" is a science fiction drama, family and country feelings. You don't need depth, you don't need any reflection, you don't need to feel. As long as there are excellent special effects, the kind of amazing setting that takes the entire planet wandering in the vast universe, and makes the audience empathize with the greatness of the Chinese nation, it is enough.
This is exactly what Wu Feng is good at.
Guo Fan's script Su Yang read it, in fact, there is no problem with the main line and details, that is, the setting of the characters, and the arrangement of some plots is a bit hypocritical, so Su Yang wanted to let Wu Feng take a look and come up with ideas.
Of course, Su Yang will also use Xiaoha to supervise on the side: the script is better, but there is also the possibility of bad potential, so Su Yang wants to ensure that changing the script can really make the potential of the movie stronger!
The next day, Guo Fan continued to devote himself to the intense preparation of "The Wandering Earth".
On the third day, Wu Feng arrived, and the three of them met together at Su Yang's house and had a small meeting.
And Su Yang... also showed Guo Fan the sharks in their living room...
Guo Fan was also scared enough, and was shocked by Su Yang's strange "preferences".
Then he also understood why Su Yang trusted himself so much and dared to invest in himself: stupid and bold.
Raising non-ornamental sharks at home isn't stupid and bold enough?
Guo Fan felt that Su Yang did not raise leopards at home, otherwise he must have thought that Su Yang was a prince from Dubai.
Wu Feng looked at all this with a smile, as the previous victim, he saw a person who was as frightened as himself, and he felt inexplicably refreshed in his heart.
He also patted Guo Fan's shoulder "intimately" and said, "Director Guo, you are too timid." When I first came to Mr. Su's house, my face didn't change and my heart didn't beat. β
Su Yang glanced at Wu Feng and did not debunk his lies.
Su Yang remembered that Wu Feng was almost so frightened that he had a heart attack.
Then the three of them came to the living room and began to discuss the movie.
After chatting for a while, after everything was on track, Su Yang asked the two of them to discuss first, while he went out to call Murray.
Murray is the second favorability person opened by Su Yang, and he is the director of the copyright department of National Film, he has a good relationship with Su Yang, and it is also because of him that Su Yang got the copyright of "The Wandering Planet".
Su Yang called him because Wu Feng was in a meeting just now, and he inadvertently mentioned that Murray was in some trouble, and Su Yang might be able to help.
As for what the trouble is, Wu Feng doesn't know, but he heard someone in the circle mention it, saying that it seems to be related to "The Wandering Planet".
That's why Su Yang called Murray.
"Duh... Honk... Duh..."
The phone was connected in a few seconds, and Murray had a hearty smile on the other end of the phone, "Brother Su, why do you have time to call me?" Haven't you been busy with movies lately? β
Because the two sides are in a cooperative relationship, and Guoying is also an investor in "The Wandering Planet", Su Yang has actually mentioned the progress of this period of time to Murray, and even passed a few special effects demos to Murray. So although Murray is far away in Kyoto, he still has an understanding of the progress of the project.
Murray's temperament is straightforward, so Su Yang didn't go around in circles, "I'm busy all the time." But Brother Mu, I've heard some rumors that something happened to you over there? So call and ask. β
When Murray heard this, he laughed twice and said directly, "Actually, it's not that something happened, it's just a little stressed." β
Su Yang asked, "Is it related to "The Wandering Planet"?" β
Murray said, "Yes. β
Then he told Su Yang the reason for the incident.
It turns out that "The Wandering Planet" has always been a relatively important project of the national film, although the priority is not as good as "The Four-Body Problem", but it is also very important. Therefore, although the dominance of the project is in the hands of Su Yang, Guoying has been paying attention to it.
Murray, on the other hand, is also summoned by the chairman and general manager from time to time to inquire about the progress of the project.
It wasn't noticeable at first, so it wasn't much of a problem.
But later, after Su Yang gave the special effects demo to Murray, Murray was simply amazing at first glance, so he also showed this demo to those bigwigs when he reported.
Although the bigwigs working in Guoying have a certain bureaucratic atmosphere, they are all professional talents, so everyone can see the level of these special effects.
It doesn't matter if you look at it, whether it is the chairman or the general manager, they are all concerned.
They weren't sure about The Wandering Planet at first, so they just had the idea of giving it a try.
But now that I've watched the project planning and watched the special effects clips, if I can't see that this movie will be a hit and become a milestone movie, it will be a fool.
Hearing this, Su Yang frowned slightly, and couldn't help asking, "Then they want to regain the main control?" β
Murray laughed twice, "Brother Su, you see, you still haven't remembered what I said to you at that time. β
"Guoying is a state-owned enterprise, and how much money we make has nothing to do with us. What we need is influence, achievements that can be made to the above. β
"Besides, we also know that this film can't do this effect without your team, so in addition to raising the internal rating of "The Wandering Planet" again and tilting more resources, National Film has no intention of returning to the dominance of this project."
Su Yang asked, "Then they..."
Murray didn't play dumb riddles, but said directly, "They want to be named." β
Su Yang didn't quite understand, "What is the name?" β
Murray, "It's the nominal producer, the producer, the producer, and so on." β
Su Yang asked, "Then will they come to meddle in the movie?" β
Murray said confidently, "No! How can they have that time, they don't have time for meetings every day, how can they have time to make movies. β
Saying that, Murray said, "I'll do the math, there are so many big guys who are interested in your movies right now." β
"The chairman of National Film, the vice chairman and general manager of National Film, the deputy general manager of National Film, and the general manager of National Film's production branch. These bigwigs. β
"If you think about their identities, how can they have time to mix up your movies."
When Su Yang heard it, he understood.
To put it bluntly, those bigwigs need face, and now they see that they can earn face in this movie, so they are tempted and put pressure on Murray.
Su Yang said what he thought, and Murray smiled and said that it was like this.
Then he said, "But, Brother Su. You can also rest assured, if you feel bad about your movie, then I will withstand the pressure. You just have to make a good movie. β
Su Yang pondered for a moment, feeling... Doesn't that seem like a bad thing?
A group of bigwigs in the circle are optimistic about their movies and want to be famous, is this a bad thing?
Others want to be named, but they can't hang it.
After all, this group of bigwigs is named, and all kinds of approvals will be very easy. Of the various production companies and theaters, which one dares not to give face? These are all real benefits.
And what did you lose ...?
Forehead... It doesn't seem like there's a loss, right?
Thinking so, Su Yang directly agreed.
Then, the two chatted about the positions they were going to give to these bigwigs.
The two chatted for a long time, and finally decided that the chairman of National Film should be the first producer of "The Wandering Planet".
The vice chairman and general manager are the directors of the film.
The deputy general manager is the chief producer of the film.
The general manager of the production branch is the first producer of the film.
In fact, these are all good-looking names.
For example, the chief producer...
What is a chief producer?
It's a group that has made a lot of movies, and he's the one who coordinates them all. He is the producer of various films, and that is the one who does the work and has real power.
And the chief producer, to put it bluntly... It's just a fictitious title, useless.
But this is exactly what these bigwigs are asking for. So this matter can be considered a satisfactory solution.
After chatting with Murray for a few more words, and after confirming the details, Su Yang hung up the phone.
After hanging up the phone, Su Yang just wanted to go back and talk to Wu Feng about it, and by the way, see how Wu Feng talked about their script.
As a result, at this moment, a prompt suddenly came to his ear,
γDrop.γ Through self-learning, the Bronze Ability Level increases. γ
At that moment, Su Yang was stunned.
What's wrong?
Can you make a phone call and improve your Bronze ability?
