Chapter 210 Screenwriting is the dream
After re-selecting the team leader, Xia Haoyang gave all the manuscripts of the new songs to Minzhi, who distributed them to everyone. Everyone was very happy to get the new lyrics and songs, and started singing test-sings immediately.
"This song is a bit weird." Qin Jiali frowned.
The friends were all attracted and stretched their heads towards Qin Jiali, "The melody of this song is a bit weird. Can such a song be good?" The lead singer Zhu Suya also asked her soul.
Xia Haoyang, who was standing aside, took a glance and saw that the song Qin Jiali took was "Please Open the Door" and smiled knowingly: "This song will become a hit. I estimate that apart from the title song "no9", this song will be the most popular. ."
The six little ones looked at each other and nodded. Qin Jiali spoke as a representative: "The fat boss must be wrong. This song is probably the least popular. Can we change the song?"
"Impossible, this song must be sung." After Xia Haoyang finished speaking, he left, leaving the six children of Tara to familiarize themselves with these songs. In the afternoon, Professor Wang Xueqin, Zeng Jingyi's mother, will come to class. If there is a problem with the song, it will naturally be Professor Wang. to solve.
The songs for the album were settled, and Xia Haoyang also called Director Ji, who shot the MV, and Director Liu, the film director. Hearing that there was a new project coming, both of them were willing to continue cooperating. Director Ji can arrive in three days, while Director Liu needs two weeks. This is not a problem for Xia Haoyang. It just allows Jingyi and others to shoot the MV first. As for whether the protagonist of the movie should be Jingyi or his own daughter. Where is my friend Tang Wanqi?
Originally, Xia Haoyang wanted Xiao Mengyan to play the heroine, and even re-wrote the plot outline. Later, when Lao Xie's first love Hong Ling came back and joined the company, Xia Haoyang wanted to compensate Jingyi and re-edit it with Jingyi as the heroine. After getting along with each other during this time, Xia Haoyang felt that his girlfriend Tang Wanqi seemed to be determined to win the role of the heroine in the movie, so he hesitated now. There was only one heroine, who should he use?
Two days later, the film director Liu called Xia Haoyang back after reading the script.
"Mr. Xia, I have finished reading this script. How is it? How much do you plan to invest in this film?"
"Director Liu, how much money do you think we should invest?"
“Mr.
"It's okay, Director Liu, this isn't the first time we've worked together. How much do you think we need to invest in this script?"
“Mr. It's completely different. As a director, of course, I hope that the funds are as sufficient as possible, so that the quality of the film can be guaranteed. This film is different from the previous musical films. This kind of rescue film can be shot in a magnificent way, or it can be a scene. It was crude and was criticized by netizens for its -cent special effects, so the financial investment in this film must not be like that of "So Beautiful".
The production cost of "Extreme Escape" was 130 billion Korean dollars that year, equivalent to 7000 million Chinese national dollars. The male and female protagonists, Cho Jung-seok and Lim Yoona, both debuted as singers and then entered the film and television industry. Among them, Cho Jung-seok is known as the "Prince Charming of Musical Theater" in South Korea. He entered the film and television industry from "Introduction to Architecture" and won the Best Newcomer to becoming the protagonist in "Extreme Escape". His status in the South Korean opera world is somewhat similar to Zheng Yunlong in the Chinese opera world, he is equally tall and handsome.
Although this film is a disaster relief film, it does not pay attention to the grand scale of the scene like "2012" or "Titanic" or other apocalyptic themes or disaster themes. It is a comedy with a disaster background, and the production fee from South Korea is also It can be seen that 130 billion may not be low in South Korea, but South Korea has invested 500 billion (equivalent to 2.6 million Chinese national currency) in the film "Alien + Human", and even invested 650 billion (3.5 million Chinese national currency). Although the plot of "Aliens+Human" TV series "Super People" and "Aliens + Humans" is poor, "Super People" received 11 points from 8.9 votes on China Douban in the original time and space.
After Xia Haoyang thought for a while, "Director Liu, my expectation for this film is that it will be a comedy with a disaster background, not a pure big-budget disaster film. I hope that the heroine will be one of Jingyi and Wanqi." , and both of them also have rock climbing foundation, and the other roles are up to you, so my investment in capital is about 1.5 million, you can decide whether it suits you."
"Disaster comedy, the heroine is owned by his own company, 1.5 million is no problem. The use of computer stunts is a must in disaster movies, but Mr. Xia made it clear that it should be mainly comedy, then I understand. Okay, No problem, I’ll take over.”
"Then thank you very much Director Liu. Does Director Liu have any suggestions for the male protagonist?"
"What suggestions does Mr. Xia have?"
"Actually, in terms of actor image, I think Zhu Longyi should be suitable, but he is too expensive. How about finding a leading actor from the opera field? The price will be much cheaper and his acting skills are guaranteed."
“Mr.
"How about Ayunga or Zheng Yunlong?"
"Gazi and Yunlong? Well, their image, acting skills, and reputation are all fine. Do you have any foundation in rock climbing? But it's not a big problem. Just use a stand-in. These two are my acquaintances. I'll contact you to confirm. We’ll have to see if they have a schedule.”
"Okay, then I'll trouble you, Director Liu. Who do you think is more suitable for the female lead, Director Liu?"
"You're saying that Jingyi and Tang Wanqi will choose one, right? Haha, one is your beloved general and the other is your girlfriend, so you leave this difficult choice to me. You don't want to offend either party."
"Director Liu will tell you if he sees it. Who do you think is more suitable?"
"Well, Wanqi, but we can let Jingyi and Xiao Mengyan make some guest appearances. After all, they all have rock climbing foundation. Mr. Xia, you are obviously biased. Xiao Mengyan is the one with the highest rock climbing level among the three. The image and acting skills are also outstanding, but you don't consider it at all." Director Liu became indignant for his idol.
"Haha, Director Liu is wrong. In fact, my script was based on Meng Yan when I first designed it. I even wanted to change the emotional line. Then something happened. I wanted to use Jingyi as the protagonist, so my script is based on Jingyi was designed as a prototype; but Wanqi was very interested in this role after reading my script, so I had no choice but to leave this choice to you. It’s not that I didn’t consider Xiao Mengyan, it really was She’s still young, so it’s not suitable for emotional scenes.”
"Okay, I can also see that you are protecting Xiao Mengyan, and you are not just using them to make money. For this reason, I am willing to cooperate with you. In this way, Jingyi will be changed to the second female lead in the plot, and she will be bigger How about adding some scenes and then falling to death in a certain link to add some sense of tragedy? "
"Comedies don't need to do this deliberately. Wouldn't it be inappropriate to make it too sad? It would go against the entire script?"
"This is not easy. Portraying Jingyi as the villain Bai Lianhua. If she falls to death, the audience will only feel relieved."
"Hahaha, okay, Director Liu, you can take care of it. I find that you are more suitable to be a screenwriter than me."
"Back then, my dream was to enter the screenwriting department, okay? I was assigned to the directing department after my test scores were low. Screenwriting was my dream."
