Chapter 205 Talking about Investment (Please subscribe for the second update!)
Wu Ershan handed the script to Tang An and explained it at the same time.

"Director Tang, behind that is a concept map drawn by myself. The movie adopts a three-stage narrative structure."

As an advertising director, no matter how successful he is, he is only an advertising director. It is definitely not easy to get an investment to make a movie.

And Tang An's investment is definitely more useful than the "Asian Star Gravity Project" investment!
This is a great opportunity, the best opportunity to step into the upper reaches of the directing industry.

Tang An watched very carefully, and Wu Ershan also talked a lot.

For more than half an hour, Tang An read the script while listening to him talk about his ideas during the creation process,

After turning the last page, Tang An put down the script.

"A very good spoof comedy film, with a strong personal style and absurd techniques!"

Tang An first affirmed the creation of this script, and at the same time, the spoof comedy is much better than the later films such as "Perfect" and "Don Quixote".

Personal style is strong, simply put, the same crew, the same actors, any director, will not be able to shoot the same as him.

This is Liu Zhenwei's "East and West" and Wang Jiawei's "Evil in the West".

It is a good thing and a bad thing. On the good side, it is easier to gather a group of loyal fans. The bad thing is that the audience will not be too wide.

However, judging from the later situation, Wu Ershan is still very good at coordinating between his personal style and the market.

With Tang An's affirmation, even the pretentious Wu Ershan couldn't help but feel a little proud.

But he knew that there was still more to come, so he continued to wait for Tang An's criticism.

as predicted.

"However, how many audiences do you think will accept your style? Have any films with your similar style been successful in the market?" Tang An asked lightly.

Facing Tang An's questioning, Wu Ershan was not flustered. He explained, "Director Tang, I only need a cost of more than 600 million for this "Swordsman". A small-budget film cannot attract most audiences. As long as it has characteristics, It will be able to attract some viewers who suit their tastes, and profit will not be a problem!"

Tang An's eyes lit up, Wu Ershan is really smart.

For example, if there are 100 viewers, if you want to make a blockbuster film with an investment of hundreds of millions, you must cater to the tastes of most people, and if you can mix a little bit of personal style, there will be less.

But he made it clear now that I just want to make money from those 10 people, and the more obvious the style, the better.

Tang An turned to smile and said, "Then what if it's not "Swordsman", but another blockbuster costume movie?"

"That"

Before Wu Ershan could say anything, his eyes suddenly widened, his face full of disbelief.

"Director Tang Tang, what are you talking about. A blockbuster costume movie?" He purposely emphasized the last four words.

Regardless of his shocked expression, Tang An continued, "As you said, "Smile by Sword" doesn't need to satisfy the tastes of all audiences. If it's a blockbuster costume movie with an investment of nearly [-] million yuan, and you still maintain your style, I will How to recover the cost."

As Tang An spoke, he praised the script and waited for his answer.

Countless thoughts flashed through Wu Ershan's mind, and he said without any hesitation, "I will definitely cater to the market and make films that the audience likes to watch!"

If Tang An didn't come here to amuse him, he would have been really lucky if he hadn't come here for a blockbuster costume movie.

No matter what the situation is, it is correct to follow Tang An's words.

"At present, my studio is planning to invest in a blockbuster costume film."

"If it were you, how would you tell this story well?"

Tang An then briefly talked about the plot, but did not say that the film was "Painted Skin".

Wu Ershan listened carefully, thought for a while and said, "If we want to cater to most of the audience, this should focus on the relationship between the male protagonist and his wife. The general brought the banshee home, and the general's wife became suspicious for some reason Her suspicion made the general unhappy, and the general's wife had no choice but to find her old friend to get rid of the demon."

"The monster must die in the ending, but in the end, she can be filmed as a good monster, and the general and the general's wife can clear up their suspicions."

Tang An nodded, the main line must be clear and clear, and conform to the three views of most ordinary people.

Xiaosan is still a demon, if she is allowed to be with the male protagonist, and the two husband and wife are in a good relationship, they will probably be scolded to death.

"Well, that's it, come back in a week!"

There is nothing else to say. Movies are not like TV dramas. They can be confined by a script. Just make sure that there is no problem with the main plot, tell the story well, and let him develop those side details!
Take it so easily?

Wu Ershan was a little taken aback, but still nodded in agreement.

"However, Director Wu has to think about how to find a balance between your own personal style and the market when you go back. If we can cooperate, I will supervise the whole process of filming. If there is any problem, I will change people at any time. I hope you understand !" Tang An added.

"I understand, Director Tang, don't worry, I will not let you down!" Wu Ershan nodded quickly.

"This film is about to be finished, and I will also invest in "Journey to the Sword". It's up to you when the time comes, and I won't interfere with anything!"

In the end, Tang An gave a promise!

Although we chatted for less than half an hour, Tang An probably got a little understanding based on his later films.

He is definitely not stupid, he has abilities, and he can see the market clearly. As long as someone behind him is exerting pressure, he should not be disappointed.

As for "Smile in the Sword", it was his first serious film, and he wrote the script for two years, so there must be a special emotion.

Promise to invest and give him the greatest rights, that is a sweet date after beating.

There is nothing to say about the plot of Huapi, in fact, most of it depends on the performance of the actors.

After another two days, the two of them had almost thought about it, so Tang An took Xu Manyun to talk about investment.

The location is still in a hotel, not at anyone's home court.

"Hi Dong Yu, hello Mr. Pang!"

Say hello and sit down.

They each brought two assistants, one more than Tang An's.

After exchanging pleasantries for a while, we officially entered the topic.

Pang Hong gave a copy of the movie script and plan to each of them.

Introduced, "The script has been completed by director Cheng Jiashang and several screenwriters. There are not many outdoor scenes and scenes for review. In addition to the actors' remuneration, we have also made a detailed budget. Yu Dong, Mr. Tang, you guys Feel free to ask any questions."

After Pang Hong finished speaking, he drank his saliva and waited for their reply.

Not counting the remuneration of the main actors, plus the salary of the crew, extra remuneration, and publicity expenses, the total cost is about 5000 million.

For several exterior scenes in the desert, the extermination of sand bandits required a cottage exterior, and for the last scene, the studio had to be set up separately.

Most of the others are indoor dramas, 5000 million should be enough!
