China Entertainment: Gao Yanei wants to be the best actor

Chapter 452 Another Village in the Dark Willows and Flowers [Triple in One]

Speaking of Zhouyi's screenwriter, although he was awesome, but Gao Fei stayed in Zhouyi's screenwriting department all afternoon, but he just didn't come across a script that was right for him.

There is no way, who made Gao Fei pay too much attention to his directorial debut.

So his requirement for the script is not only to be good, but also to be able to match his eyes.

Because without this, he would not be able to stimulate his creative passion.

It's just that after hearing such a weird request from him, the faces of the masters of Zhou Yi's screenwriting team almost turned green.

But no matter how speechless, Zhouyi's screenwriters could only accept it.

After all, Gao Fei is not only the evil Party A, but also their boss!
So in desperation, the screenwriting department had no choice but to show Gao Fei the unfinished semi-finished products in the hands of everyone, and even some first drafts of inspiration and creativity.

Not to mention, this trick really worked.

After Gao Fei read it carefully, he quickly took a fancy to a semi-finished script.

So Dang even pulled screenwriter Tian Yusheng to start a discussion.

Seeing this situation, other people in the screenwriting department couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, only Tian Yusheng had a bitter expression on his face.

……

In fact, Tian Yusheng joined Zhouyi Film and Television not long ago.

Because I worked well with Xu Zheng on the crew of "On the Journey".

So after Xu Zheng joined Zhouyi, he learned that Zhouyi paid special attention to screenwriting talents and recommended him.

By the way, Zhou Yi's screenwriting department incorporated his Holy Church screenwriting studio.

As for the semi-finished script called "Predecessor Raiders" in his hand, he brought it along with the Temple Studio.

And the creative source of this book is actually the lovelorn experience of a staff member in the Holy Church studio.

At the beginning, Tian Yusheng felt that the experience of breaking up with love was quite interesting, and then he got the idea of ​​adapting and creating.

Therefore, although this book is called "Predecessor Raiders", it is not only about the ex, but also the love of young men and women.

And Gao Fei was moved by this core.

I have to say that lovelorn and ex is really a universal topic.

In particular, Tian Yusheng's brushstrokes are very delicate, and he even perfectly portrays the details of the relationship between many lovers, which makes people feel empathetic after watching it.

For example, a certain plot in the script must have been encountered by many male compatriots.

That is, your current girlfriend calls you in the middle of the night, and your current girlfriend is by your side, what should you do?
To take, or not to take?

If you don't pick it up, your current girlfriend will think you have a guilty conscience.

Maybe they will pretend to be generous and say "what if something happens?", so as to persuade you to answer the phone.

But if you do take it...

Hehe~, then prepare to die!

Because at this moment your girlfriend must be thinking:
"I told you to pick it up, did you really pick it up?"

"Hmph~ You really are still worried about her in your heart!"

So it's time to test the IQ and experience of the male colleagues.

[Seeking the best solution! 】

【o(╥﹏╥)o Xiaodao also wants to learn from the advanced experience of his predecessors! 】

And when discussing the plot with Tian Yusheng, this guy dared to ask Gao Fei for advice under the banner of refining the script.

Although the gossiping eyes had already exposed his thoughts, Gao Fei didn't care.

So without even thinking about it, he smiled and said:

"A mature man shouldn't put himself in such a situation!"

"If I were Meng Yun, then I wouldn't even think about whether to pick it up or not. Instead, I would just leave the right to choose to Xia Lu."

"After all, if you don't pretend to be asleep at this time, are you waiting to be executed?"

As soon as these words came out, Tian Yusheng couldn't help but his eyes lit up, and he looked at Gao Fei with admiration and said with emotion:
"Excellent! Boss, you really have experience!"

I don't want Gao Fei to stare at him angrily when he heard this, and said:

"Can you speak? What is experience? This is wisdom, okay!"

Tian Yusheng suddenly changed his words and said:
"Yes, yes, it's wisdom. I made a slip of the tongue, a slip of the tongue."

But even though he said so, he still couldn't help feeling in his heart that his boss's reputation as a vagabond was indeed well-deserved.

In fact, people who think like Tian Yusheng are not alone.

……

In other words, when they learned that Gao Fei was planning to make a movie by himself, the artists under Zhou Yi were shocked at first, and then immediately realized that this was an excellent opportunity.

After all, as there are more and more non-study directors and their grades are getting better and better, everyone gradually has confidence in those non-study directors.

And compared to other transformational directors, Gao Fei has an advantage that others cannot match.

So for a while, Zhouyi's internal artists counted as one, and almost all of them cut their heads and wanted to participate in this project.

Because in their opinion, even if the movie directed by Gao Fei didn't become a big hit, the box office would definitely not be too bad.

In this way, the risk of failure is naturally much smaller.

Besides, the boss managed to direct a movie himself, if they don't take this opportunity to perform well, wouldn't it be a waste of this god-given opportunity.

It's a pity that the ideal is full and the reality is very skinny.

Before the artists under Zhou Yi could find ways to win the roles, the news that Gao Fei was going to be the director quickly spread in the circle.

So for a while, almost everyone from Gao Fei's confidante to business partners called Gao Fei.

It really annoyed Gao Fei.

Even after Zhou Xun, Yu Feihong and others got the news, they were very curious to come to Zhou Yi to eat melons on the spot, and take a look at what story Gao Fei was going to tell in his directorial debut.

only……

After reading the final draft of "Predecessor Strategy" jointly completed by Gao Fei and Tian Yusheng, Zhou Xun's eyes widened immediately, and he gave Gao Fei a thumbs up with a smile in his eyes.

"As expected of you!"

After saying that, Zhou Xun collapsed on the sofa with an overjoyed smile.

Although Yu Feihong on the side was not so exaggerated, she also gave Gao Fei an angry look.

Seeing this situation, Gao Fei was also heartbroken.

To be honest, he was also helpless.

Obviously he didn't write this notebook, he just helped to revise it.

But everyone who watched it thought he was making an autobiographical movie, which really made Gao Fei very speechless.

Of course, Liu Yifei, Yang Mi, and Zhao Liying were more helpless.

Because these people have been talking sideways for a long time these days, but they just couldn't find out from Gao Fei who the ex-girlfriend who made him so unforgettable is!
(⊙o⊙)...Um, actually Gao Fei explained it to them many times.

He didn't have any ex-girlfriends, all of this was written by Tian Yusheng.

It's just that no matter what he said, Liu Yifei and the others didn't believe it, and they became more and more sure that this woman must still be in Gao Fei's heart.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have made a movie specifically for the "predecessor".

It can be said that this "Predecessor Raiders" has brought countless troubles to Gao Fei as soon as the project was established.

What kind of autobiographical movie, what kind of ex-girlfriend mystery, really made Gao Fei one head and two big.

It also gave him a preliminary experience of how difficult it is to be a director.

But a headache is a headache, Gao Fei is not intimidated just like that.

Therefore, after finally perfunctory away those beauties, Gao Fei began to formally prepare for his directorial debut.

It's just that God sometimes seems to be deliberately playing with people.

Because Gao Fei finally found a role for himself, and Han Li, who vowed to help Gao Fei find a suitable project, finally got something.

……

After reading the script in his hand, after pondering for a moment, Gao Fei suddenly sighed with a complicated expression, and couldn't help thinking to himself, if he had encountered this script earlier, why would he bother himself so much during this time.

It's just that Diao Yinan didn't understand what he was thinking. Seeing this situation, he thought Gao Fei didn't like this book.

Immediately, he couldn't help but his face darkened, and his mood became a little depressed.

Because Zhou Yi is already the third investor he has found.

Moreover, Gao Fei's vision for picking scripts has always been quite recognized in the circle.

Therefore, if even Gao Fei is unwilling to invest this time, it may be even more difficult for him to start this project.

And just when Diao Yinan was about to leave, Gao Fei, who came back to his senses, saw him like this and knew that he wanted to go wrong.

So he said with a clean and hearty smile:

"Diao Dao, you misunderstood, I like this book very much, Zhou Yi voted for it."

"only……"

Originally, Diao Yinan was pleasantly surprised when he heard that Gao Fei was willing to invest.

But he seemed to have some concerns, so Diao Yinan, who was afraid that Gao Fei would regret it, immediately said:

"Mr. Gao, if you have any request, tell me, I will definitely not refuse what I can do."

Seeing what he said, Gao Fei nodded slightly.

Immediately, he didn't sell anything, and said straight to the point on the spot:

"Okay, then I'll be straight."

"I personally admire the character of Zhang Zili very much. I wonder if the role of Diao Dao has been settled?"

As soon as these words came out, Diao Yinan breathed a sigh of relief.

It turned out that he fell in love with the number one male, so you should have said it earlier!

In fact, if another actor asked him for a role, Diao Yinan might really have to think about it.

Even if it is someone recommended by the investor, he may not be able to use it.

It can be said that there are many common problems of literary and art directors in him.

But if the person is Goofy, that's a different story.

Because even without considering Gao Fei's terrifying net worth, his achievements in the field of actors alone are enough to make a certain kind of director in the circle look at him.

After all, he wants popularity and popularity, and box office.

Even in the actor awards, none of the male actors of the same age in China is his opponent.

Golden Horse Best Actor, Shanghai Film Festival Best Actor, Huabiao Best Actor, Berlin Best Actor.

To be honest, when this trophy is displayed, I am afraid that no director will not be tempted by such an actor.

Therefore, after listening to Gao Fei's request, Diao Yinan immediately agreed without hesitation.

He even readily agreed to Gao Fei's request to postpone the start-up.

Diao Yinan has long decided to film this story in Ice City, and it was in Ice City in November!

Because only in this way can he shoot the feeling of restraint, coldness and abstinence he wants.

After solving the problem of the schedule, Gao Fei breathed a sigh of relief.

So after the project was handed over to Zhou Yi's production department, a budget of 3000 million was approved very happily.

It can be said that this wave really made Diao Yinan experience what a surprise is.

After all, if he knew that Neng Gaofei was willing to participate in the film, why would he bother with the investment of the film.

Because even if Zhou Yi doesn't invest, as long as the news of Gao Fei's participation is released, then "Fireworks in the Day" may immediately become a sought-after potato in the circle.

Of course, Diao Yinan was happy, and Han Li was finally relieved.

God knows how many tricks and calls she has thought of in order to search for Gao Fei in recent days.

So after seeing Gao Fei sign the contract, Han Li, relieved, turned around and went down to rest.

But before Gao Fei could breathe a sigh of relief, Jiang Hong came as soon as Han Li left.

……

To be honest, Gao Fei knew that Jiang Hong had high execution ability.

But he didn't expect Jiang Hong's execution ability to be so high!
He had just finished talking about the company's future strategic plan, and in less than a week, Jiang Hong had implemented one-third of it.

This made Gao Fei give her a thumbs up in admiration.

No way, he has nothing to say except admiration.

Seeing this situation, Jiang Hong felt rather embarrassed.

Because, it's really not her fault!

……

Speaking of which, ever since Gao Fei told Gao Fei at the celebration banquet that he would expand the genre of movies in the future, explore more, invest in science fiction, animation and other projects, Jiang Hong has taken care of them.

So after going back that night, I asked my friends in the circle to make a call.

Originally, she just wanted to get to the bottom of it, to see if there were any similar cases in the circle that she could refer to and study, so as to avoid paying tuition fees later.

But I didn't expect that after she had just expressed Zhou Yi's interest in science fiction and animation projects, someone would come to her door early the next morning.

No, to be precise, some people who got the news wanted to call her in the middle of the night.

It was only because she was afraid that she would get angry that she had to hold back for a few more hours.

So although it was a bit embarrassing, Jiang Hong still told the whole truth.

After all, Jiang Hong couldn't help but sigh with emotion:

"I really didn't expect domestic animation film projects to be so difficult!"

"But what I didn't expect was that, in such a difficult environment, there are still such a group of people who are willing to gamble with their youth!"

Speaking of which, even though Jiang Hong has always been rational, she couldn't help admiring those animation filmmakers at this moment!

In fact, the difficulties faced by animated films are nothing more than three points:

Time-consuming, money-consuming, and difficult to finance!

The first point is easy to understand. Compared with the efficiency of live-action movies in one year, the production cycle of animated movies is obviously extremely long.

And because the domestic production team is not very mature, compared with foreign animation films, it takes more time in China.

This first point alone is enough to scare off 50% of investors.

As for the second point of money consumption, it is actually relative to the domestic film and television industry in Millennium.

Because at that time, movies with a cost of 5000 to [-] million were considered blockbusters.

Therefore, animation films, which cost tens of millions or hundreds of millions of dollars, are naturally a big spender.

It is precisely for this reason that even in the golden age of Hong Kong films, Xiangjiang did not produce many animated films.

By the way, in 1997, Mr. Xu specially invited Hayao Miyazaki's team. It took four years and cost 4000 million Hong Kong dollars to produce a "Xiaoqian".

In the animated version, Mr. Xu shortened the past three "A Chinese Ghost Story" into one, and changed the gloomy version of "A Chinese Ghost Story".

Humorous plot, bright picture, warm and beautiful atmosphere.

It can be said that this is the movie that is least like Mr. Xu's style!
Because this time in "Xiaoqian", Old Monster Xu made this supposedly sad love between humans and ghosts finally have a happy ending, which can be regarded as making up for the regrets that countless audiences had about the ending of "A Chinese Ghost Story".

But then again, not every animation director is as successful as Mr. Xu.

So on the basis of the second point, the difficulty of financing has become the biggest problem faced by domestic animation directors.

Because the domestic animation industry is still in its infancy, most of them are operated by a single small and medium-sized enterprise.

Moreover, the source of income for animation companies is relatively single, mainly derived from derivative products and copyright fees for broadcasting on the platform.

However, the strength of small and medium-sized enterprises is limited. Even if they encounter potential projects, they often cannot fully tap the potential that animation derivative products should have.

As for broadcast copyright fees, it is even more hopeless.

Even if it is lucky enough to be spotted by a TV station, after it is broadcast, the price is only a few hundred yuan per episode. It can be said that the input and output are completely out of proportion.

So Jiang Hong was not exaggerating when she said that they were betting on their youth.

Because almost every animation director is participating in a hopeless gamble.

Some people just couldn't hold on halfway and gave up.

Persist until the end, in fact, there are only a few people left.

But at this moment, almost all of their projects are in front of Gao Fei.

After listening to Jiang Hong's narration, Gao Fei couldn't help but frowned slightly.

But he didn't say anything, but directly clicked on the files to view them one by one.

……

Because the animated film will involve some original paintings and character designs, and even some rough cuts in the file, Gao Fei watched it slowly.

However, this is the case, and Gao Fei finished watching it after an hour.

how to say?

It can be regarded as a bit of a surprise in the midst of embarrassment!

Gao Fei did not expect that these animation filmmakers could still produce such an effect under such a rather difficult environment.

However, the ups and downs of these projects have indeed exceeded Gao Fei's expectations.

Take "Big Fish and Begonia", the longest project in the document, as an example. The director started preparations as early as 2004.

However, due to the long-term disregard for animated films in the domestic film and television industry, it was not until 2008 that director Liang Xuan received a venture capital investment of several million yuan from Lianchuang Ceyuan.

It was with this start-up capital that they officially started the production of samples.

And in June of the same year, thanks to the painstaking efforts of Liang Xuan and others, the sample of "Big Fish and Begonia" was finally produced.

Fortunately, hard work pays off.

After the sample of "Big Fish and Begonia" was released, it quickly won unanimous praise from the industry at home and abroad, and was even included and praised as "one of the most outstanding works of art" by the Pompidou Center for Contemporary Art in France. However, the subsequent plot twists and turns .

Because even if they have proved their abilities, investors still have concerns about the "Big Fish and Begonia" project.

So director Liang Xuan, who had no money, could only work part-time with his team while polishing the script.

And the suspension of the "Big Fish and Begonia" project will last another four years.

So in Gao Fei's opinion, this group of people are simply fools.

After all, how many eight years can people squander in their lifetime?
Not to mention the most precious eight years of youth!

And if Zhouyi didn't appear this time, I'm afraid they would have to continue to wait endlessly.

Thinking of this, Gao Fei immediately sighed rather disappointed.

Although he didn't approve of this kind of behavior, he admired the persistence of this group of people!

Because persistence is the stupidest and most difficult thing in this world.

Fortunately, the persistence of the crew of "Big Fish and Begonia" finally paid off.

After watching the 6-minute sample they edited, with Gao Fei's film aesthetic standards, I can preliminarily judge that this project can be done.

So Gao Fei immediately wrote 3000 million in the project book of "Big Fish and Begonia".

Yes, animation films that used to be very expensive in the eyes of domestic filmmakers now actually only need 3000 million yuan to complete.

And this budget is not too much in today's film and television industry, at most it can only be regarded as a small and medium-budget movie.

After all, in the past few years, the investment in movies has been 2-3 million yuan.

Therefore, compared with those commercial blockbusters, animated films are really nothing.

Even literary and artistic films that have never made money, the cost of shooting is now almost higher than that of animated films.

Thinking of this, Gao Fei suddenly felt that those animation filmmakers were really pitiful.

After all, the times are changing with each passing day, but it seems that only they have not changed.

It seems that it has been ignored by the times...
