Entertainment from Divorce

Chapter 1353 International Film Festival

Director Lu came here in person this time just to promote the panda issue.

However, Chen Ziyu's performance made it seem as if he wanted people to adopt a panda.

Tan Yue said, "Don't worry about it, Director Lu. Let's talk about the movie."

"Let's talk about movies... Yes, let's talk about movies!" Director Lu was still struggling, but he immediately came to his senses after hearing what Tan Yue said.

Director Lu stood up straight and said seriously, "Director Tan, I came here this time to express my attitude. I hope you can make a movie about pandas. We will do whatever you need us to do."

The people following Director Lu nodded quickly, indicating that what he said was true.

Tan Yue said: "Of course no problem, I just happened to have this plan."

"We will definitely give our full support, I..." Director Lu was about to say something, but suddenly heard Tan Yue's words and immediately reacted.

"Director Tan, are you telling the truth?"

Director Lu and the staff at the panda breeding base he brought with him were all ecstatic.

In order to succeed, they came all the way from Sichuan Province.

But before they started to persuade him, Tan Yue had already agreed.

You know, with Tan Yue's current status, it is almost a rare opportunity to invite him to make a movie.

Director Lu was excited: "Director Tan, no matter what support you want, I will do my best to satisfy you! All the pandas in our breeding base can be used at will!"

Seeing Director Lu was extremely excited, Tan Yue smiled calmly.

"Director Lu, please don't get excited. I don't need many pandas for this movie."

As soon as Tan Yue said this, Director Lu's face flashed with doubt.

According to Director Lu’s knowledge, movies that promote animals often have many animal actors.

Does Director Tan have his own unique skills?

Director Lu was puzzled.

"Director Lu, the movie I want to shoot is an animated film." Tan Yue did not hide anything and went straight to the point.

"Animated movies? Cartoons?"

Director Lu was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect Tan Yue to give such an answer.

In his impression, aren't cartoons for children?

Although it is good to promote it to children, it is far from the movie he envisioned.

Moreover, for a great director like Tan Yue to make an animated film, isn't that like using a cannon to kill a mosquito?
Tan Yue explained again: "It's not a cartoon, it's an animated film."

While speaking, he also handed over the rough script he had written.

"I named this animated film Kung Fu Panda, intending to combine Kung Fu with pandas. The characters in it are all made up of animals, and the protagonist is a panda."

When Director Lu heard this, a look of hesitation flashed across his face and he didn't react for a moment.

"Kung Fu... Panda?"

Director Lu's mind was working rapidly. He knew that Tan Yue had filmed a movie called "Kung Fu", but he had no idea how to combine Kung Fu with pandas.

Tan Yue explained to him without getting annoyed.

"Yes, Kung Fu plus Panda. Although I plan to use the model of an animated film for this movie, I plan to shoot the scenes on location and try to restore the local style."

"Of course, the protagonist Po will be portrayed as cute and honest, to make sure more people fall in love with pandas."

"On-location shooting? That would cost a lot of money!" Director Lu looked through the information marked on the script and couldn't help but show surprise on his face.

The initial estimate of the investment cost is US$100 million.

He never imagined that an animated film would require an investment of $100 million.

This figure is an unimaginable amount of money for their panda breeding base.

Of course, it is impossible for them to pay this money.

Director Lu knew very well that the only thing he could provide was some support in other areas.

"Director Tan, I misunderstood you. Director Tan is indeed a great director. Every move he makes is a big one!"

Director Lu put down the documents in his hand, and couldn't help showing an embarrassed expression on his face, looking a little ashamed.

I have underestimated Tan Yue.

Who are they?

Will you make any cartoons for kids?

This move represents a huge investment of 100 million US dollars!

Tan Yue said very gently, "It's okay, I didn't explain it clearly."

In fact, the investment figure he gave was just a rough estimate.

In Tan Yue's impression, the production cost of the first "Kung Fu Panda" was about 1.3 million US dollars.

And that is based on the production company's mature experience.

Now that Tan Yue has to start a new business from scratch, the funds required are definitely much more than this figure.

The purchase of various equipment and the training of various personnel would definitely be an astronomical figure if you really calculate it.

However, Tan Yue did not back down because the number was too large.

Once I have really trained this team well, there will be plenty of animation film projects that I can develop in the future.

It’s done. This is a golden rooster that can place orders.

After listening to Tan Yue's explanation, Director Lu looked at the "Kung Fu Panda" project and saw it in a completely different light.

With big money and huge investment, plus director Tan Yue, this is bound to be a hit.

Director Lu could already foresee how much influence this movie would have on the promotion of pandas.

"Director Tan, I really don't know what to say. I will follow your instructions. If you need anything, I will definitely help you to the best of my ability!"

Director Lu was speaking, his mind racing, and suddenly he thought of something.

"By the way, I see it says that we need to shoot on location. Director Tan, no matter where you want to shoot, as long as it is in Sichuan Province, I will definitely contact them for you!"

Director Lu was already patting his chest when he said this.

For this movie, he is even willing to risk his reputation.

Where was the filming located?

After hearing what Director Lu said, Tan Yue thought about it.

He hasn't researched where to shoot yet, but it will definitely be in Sichuan Province.

Tan Yue smiled and said, "Thank you very much, Director Lu. I will have someone contact you."

Tan Yue's words were very polite, but in fact, with his current connections, he didn't need to consider these things at all.

With Tan Yue's current status, as long as he wants to go to a place to shoot, he will definitely have the green light all the way and will definitely not encounter any obstacles.

Moreover, Tan Yue's going there to shoot the film also had a huge publicity effect for the filming location.

Who would refuse?
Director Lu had thought of this, but other than that, he couldn't provide much more help.

Director Lu said, "Okay, okay, Director Tan, don't worry, I will do my best!"

Tan Yue stood up with a smile and extended his hand to Director Lu.

"Then I wish us a happy cooperation."

Director Lu also quickly stood up and stretched out his hands with a bit of respect.

"Happy cooperation!"

Brilliant Entertainment Company has reached a cooperation with Sichuan Panda Breeding Base.

Brilliant Entertainment Company is filming the movie "Kung Fu Panda" for publicity purposes, and the Sichuan Panda Breeding Base will fully cooperate.

"Kung Fu Panda" may use the images of pandas in the panda breeding base and provide them all free of charge to Brilliant Entertainment.

Brilliant Entertainment owns all copyrights of the Kung Fu Panda project. The two parties reached an agreement, which did not involve any money, but was only for publicity.

Director Lu had no objection to the possibility that Tan Yue's film might use the image of pandas from the panda breeding base.

He happily gave the copyright to Brilliant Entertainment Company without charging any fees.

Director Lu knew very well that even without his authorization, there would be no problem if someone created a panda image at random.

Besides, he was the one who came to ask for help.

And it’s not like there is no benefit to me.

According to what is mentioned in the agreement, after the movie is released, the panda breeding base can use the image of Po in the movie to promote the breeding base.

Chen Ziyu suddenly said, "In that case, why don't we name the panda we adopted Po?"

According to the adoption agreement, the adopter has the right to name the panda after adopting it.

Hearing Chen Ziyu's words, Tan Yue smiled and agreed immediately: "No problem, then just call me Abao."

"Hello, Abao. I will ask someone to take a video of Abao and send it to you when I get back." Director Lu also said quickly.

For a time, the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves.

After the two sides reached an agreement on cooperation, Director Lu and others prepared to return to Sichuan Province.

Tan Yue, on his part, continued to write the script for "Kung Fu Panda".

At this point the framework of the script is complete, and you just need to add some details.

Tan Yue made himself a cup of tea, opened a computer document, and began to create.

In the entire film industry, Tan Yue's speed in writing scripts is considered fast.

After all, Tan Yue had the original movie as a template, so it was naturally very convenient for him to create.

As time went by, the script of Kung Fu Panda became more and more perfect.

Tan Yue took a sip of tea and prepared to finish the first version of the script in one go.

In the blink of an eye, an hour passed and Tan Yue clicked save with his mouse.

"Phew! It's done!" Tan Yue said with a smile.

The script was completed, but Tan Yue did not take a rest. Instead, he poured another cup of tea, redid it, and checked the script again.

After making sure there were no errors in the script, Tan Yue closed the document and sent the script to Chen Ye's email.

After doing this, Tan Yue called Chen Ye.

"Print a few more copies of this script, and then notify the company's senior management to hold a meeting in the conference room on the eighth floor."

"Okay Mr. Tan."

Chen Ye responded immediately, then returned to his workstation and printed out the script using a special printer.

Then, she called the top executives of Brilliant Entertainment one by one and went to the office on the eighth floor for a meeting.

After doing this, Chen Ye returned to Tan Yue's office.

"Mr. Tan, there are two invitations, one is from the French film festival and the other is from the American film festival. Your film "Hachiko: A Dog's Story" has entered the main competition unit and has been nominated." Chen Ye said.

As he spoke, Chen Ye handed two invitation letters to Tan Yue.

Tan Yue raised his hand, picked up the invitation letter and began to look at it.

However, after taking a glance at it, he threw the invitation aside.

"I'm going to start a new project soon, so I won't go to this film festival. Let Fan Shangan Shasha go. It's just right for the two of us to go to one film festival each."

Tan Yue said casually.

Although these two film festivals are also considered Class A film festivals, their influence is far less than that of the Cannes International Film Festival, the Berlin International Film Festival and the Venice International Film Festival.

Among the international A-class film festivals, only the top three are known as the Big Three and have sufficient influence.

Although other film festivals have some fame, they are just there to make up the numbers.

Tan Yue was not very interested in this kind of film festival, so it would be better to let Fan Shan and Sasha go out and see the world.

Upon hearing this, Chen Ye quickly said, "Okay, Mr. Tan, I will notify them."

Tan Yue nodded slowly, then stood up and stretched his body.

"Okay, I'll go to the meeting room first."

As Tan Yue spoke, he walked towards the meeting room on the same floor.

Chen Ye also notified everyone about the news of the two film festivals.

……

third floor.

In the artist lounge.

Because "Hachiko: A Dog's Story" was recently released, both Fan Shan and Sasha have some free time.

It's said to be free time, but actually it's not that free.

After all, "Hachiko: A Dog's Story" has already secured the annual box office champion, and the two are now very popular.

In fact, all kinds of scripts were flying towards the two of them like snowflakes.

However, after participating in Tan Yue’s film projects, their vision has become much sharper.

Some movie scripts simply don't catch their eye.

At this time, both of them were in the artist lounge, discussing matters related to Tan Yue.

"Teacher Fan, what do you think Mr. Tan's next movie will be?" Sasha asked.

I can hear some anticipation in her tone.

Shasha was discovered by Tan Yue. She has an inexplicable respect for Tan Yue and very much hopes that she can star in Tan Yue's next film.

Fan Shan understood what Shasha meant, but he shook his head imperceptibly.

"Xiaosha, don't think about these things for now, and focus on honing your acting skills."

Fan Shan knew very well that as a great director, Tan Yue had extremely high standards for his works.

When casting his films, he only chooses the right ones without considering other factors.

Even though Sasha has performed in his movies before, he may not continue to use her in new movies.

It's not easy to be a Vietnamese girl.

Fan Shan is very open-minded about this.

After hearing Fan Shan's reminder, Shasha fell silent for a moment.

Just then, Fan Shan's and Shasha's agents came over with the invitation letters and told them about Tan Yue's arrangements.

"There are two international A-class film festivals recently. Mr. Tan doesn't have time, so he specifically asked you two to take his place, one for each."

After the agent said this, Fan Shan's expression didn't change much, but Sasha was full of surprise.

"Really? Going to an international A-level film festival? Why doesn't Mr. Tan go in person?"

Sasha was quite excited while speaking, and instantly forgot about the loss she had just felt.

Fan Shan was very calm and said slowly: "Mr. Tan is a very busy man and he definitely doesn't have time. Xiaosha, you choose these two places first and I'll go to the remaining one."

Hearing what Fan Shan said, Sasha nodded, realizing that what she said was inappropriate.

"Yes, yes, Mr. Tan is very busy, and we are free."

After saying this, Sasha chose an international film festival, and Fan Shan chose the remaining one.

With joy on her face, Sasha took out her phone to show off to her best friend.

Fan Shan was much calmer and just put away the invitation.
