Chapter 396 Shooting starts quickly, and it will be released at the end of the year! (The second update asks for a subscription! Ask for a monthly pass!)
"Tang Dong, is it too urgent to release it in November? It's already May, and there are only 5 months left."

In the nearly 80-square-meter chairman's office of Hantang Media Group, Teng Huatao, Liu Debin, director of the production department, Zhu Mo, director of the publicity department, and the general managers of the two artist studios under the company, Deng Chao and Yang Mi, are all there. .

Regarding Tang An's proposal to star the two of them in the TV series "33 Days of Broken Relationship", Teng Huatao agreed after substituting the image of the characters in his mind.

Deng Chao and Yang Mi are also quite suitable for these two roles, but some details need to be modified to make the actors more suitable for the roles.

Liu Debin also has no doubts, on the big screen Deng Chaowan exploded Wen Zhang.

However, Teng Huatao faced a difficult problem with the requirement that the movie should be released on November 11 this year.

He also knows the concept of Singles' Day proposed by Tang An. It has been circulated in a small area before. Last year, Treasure held a Double Eleven event on November 11. The single-day turnover exceeded 11 million, and the effect was good.

Isn't being broken in love the same as becoming a bachelor? This gimmick is just right.

Teng Huatao also had to admire Tang An. In just one day, he actually formulated a publicity strategy, which made him even more grateful for his choice.

The success of a movie is inseparable from efficient publicity and release. Tang An is so concerned about this movie, the success is even more sure.

现在是5月18号，距离11月11号满打满算还有6个月的时间。

Even if it is a modern urban drama, this time is too rushed.

"Director Teng, hasn't your crew already finished the preparations? You can shoot the scenes other than the two of them first, and give them some time to think about the script. Excluding the one and a half months of post-production time, there are still more than four months left. Time Enough is enough, I will let people prepare for the submission and announcement."

After Tang An said so, Teng Huatao thought about the time and could only agree.

"Then according to Tang Dong's intention, the location and studio should be prepared as soon as possible."

Tang An nodded, "I will immediately send someone to find a suitable location for the exterior scene. There are not many interior scenes, so we will shoot as we go, and try to start shooting within half a month!"

After the discussion, the contract was signed quickly, and Teng Huatao paid a high price of 200 million yuan for the film directed by Teng Huatao. After all, he was just a TV drama director and it was his first movie.

Deng Chao's salary is 400 million, Yang Mi's salary is 150 million, and the production cost is around 1600 million.

After signing the contract, Teng Huatao and Liu Debin went out to discuss film preparations.

Tang An turned to look at Deng Chao and Yang Mi, and warned, "This movie is an opportunity, you two should seize it, time is tight, get to the bottom of the characters as soon as possible, read the original book if you have time, and read the comments from readers of the original book." , mainly the character, half of the success is done well.”

"Knowing Tang Dong, I will definitely study the script carefully so as not to delay the movie's release date."

Seeing that Tang An personally asked about a low-budget movie and said it so solemnly, the two of them who didn't pay much attention to this movie couldn't help but start to look forward to it.

Maybe it's another movie with dark horse potential!

Half a month later, several location teams found locations for the film in various places in the capital.

Sculpture Time Coffee Shop Beihang Store, Lukang Town Gongti Store, Yinquan Riben Cuisine Sanlitun Store, Grand Hyatt Hotel, Moscow Restaurant, Niaoting Xinyuanxili Store, Repeat Coffee, Sihexuan Western Restaurant, Beijing Film College, Wanda Pullman Hotel, Library Cafe, Sanlitun Village Financial Street, Lan Club, Oriental Plaza
At 5:30 pm on May 6th, the film held a launch conference at the Grand Hyatt Hotel.

The movie that was due to be released on May [-]st has been released for a while, and there are quite a few reporters at the press conference.

Although Teng Huatao is a newcomer in the film industry, he was a well-known director of TV dramas at that time. Last year's "Snail House" caused a social phenomenon.

In addition, Deng Chao is a first-line movie star, and Yang Mi is one of the four young actresses, so the popularity is not small.

Of course, Tang An was the biggest star on the scene.

No matter how often he brings the topic back to "33 Days of Broken Relationship", reporters will still bring up "Edge of Tomorrow".

Even why Teng Huatao switched to making movies, and why he is Huayi's director and why Tang An is the investor, are more attractive than movies.

After struggling for more than an hour, I ate dinner and took a break to shoot the first scene directly.

There are two scenes at the fountain at the entrance of the Grand Hyatt Hotel, a rivalry scene between Wang Xiaoxian and Diamond Wang Laowu, and a scene reminiscing about being with her boyfriend before.

Although there is only half a month to study the script, but after filming the opening scene, they will shoot a few supporting roles first. Yang Mi and Deng Chao still have time to thoroughly understand the script.

Except for the male and female protagonists, the other actors were selected according to Teng Huatao's previous selection.

Those few supporting roles are basically people from Wang Jinghua and Huayi.

Huayi's Chen Yufan, Li Chen, and Liao Fan.

Wang Jinghua's Ma Yili, Guo Jingfei, Jiao Yunyan.

Wen Zhang and Bai Baihe gave up their salary and took a big risk to pay dividends. A big reason is that Wang Jinghua's fortress came in.

None of these people, Tang An, were replaced. If they were all replaced, it would be difficult for Teng Huatao to be a man.

And they are all small supporting roles, harmless.

After watching a scene, Tang An gave some instructions and left.

Early the next morning, Tang An came to Tiangong Yicai, watched the post-production and 3D modeling of the movie, and started editing the movie.

The car was parked downstairs in the company, Chang Hongsong was already waiting, and immediately came up to meet him.

"Welcome Director Tang to inspect the work."

Tang An shook hands with him, and said with a smile, "Mr. Chang, you're welcome. I'm just here to take a look. I don't understand special effects and 3D production."

It seemed that he was really busy, and Xiao Yang didn't even come down to greet him.

Following Chang Hongsong upstairs to Tiangong Yicai, the company has completed expansion compared to the initial stage, seven or eight departments have hundreds of high-end computers, and more than a dozen teams are working on the post-production of "Edge of Tomorrow" day and night.

Looked at the physical model of aliens, CG production, 3D modeling
I inspected every link and watched some shots of the finished product.

The main thing is 3D conversion. After all, this is a real film, and there are no special effects, so it is relatively simple.

However, converting to 3D requires hundreds of calculations for each shot, [-]D modeling, drawing depth of field frame by frame, and rendering. Complicated and cumbersome.

Then Tang An went to two special effects companies, Base FX and Digital Domain, and returned to Tiangong Yicai in the afternoon to start editing.

On the first day, I was not in a hurry to start. I re-read the script and all the materials.

After sorting out the plot and perfecting the rhythm, I started to do it.

Since the special effects, 3D conversion and editing are carried out at the same time, it is definitely not as easy as editing alone. The three parties need to coordinate and the progress is slow.

But there are still 6 months to go, Tang An is not in a hurry.
