Chapter 30 Impressions in Memory Two days An's script is finally polished and finished! I wrote and filmed the two films together. Just like the original, it was released in two parts. Make a movie. Chen An thought he was a real genius and could buy more film! After printing several copies of the script, Chen An immediately submitted it for review. Then I started to go to Beijing Film Studio to find Han Sanping. Han Sanping smiled happily when he saw Chen Anlai as soon as he entered the room: "Brother Chen, we have made a lot of money this time. The movie sold a lot of money and won many awards. Now the box office is almost over 30 million!" "I'm just getting started. One movie is nothing. I'm thinking about making the next movie so that I can stand firm!" Chen An follows the news about "Run Lola Run" every day. But I'm not as worried as before, because the bulk of the money has already been made. Judging from the current profit sharing of the released movies, even if it exceeds 100 million, it is not as much as before.
Before Zhang Yimou's current good friend Zhang Weiping forced the theater chain to increase the producer's share. The producer only gets 33% of the box office revenue, and the production cost can only be recovered if the box office revenue is three times that of the production funds. Even if Chen An wants to shoot "Little Forest" now, he doesn't plan to make much money. Just treat it as practice. Just don't lose money. You won't make much even if you earn money. When I grow up, I will go to Hollywood and earn a lot of money. Han Sanping did not refute. He wished that Chen An could make ten movies a year to greatly stimulate the film market. Of course, he can only think about it. He himself said that the production of this movie will take a long time and there is no chance of it being released this year. Pulling Chen An to sit on the sofa, Han Sanping personally gave Chen An a cigarette and asked: "We've found a place for you. It's in a village in the Central Plains. These are the photos they took. Do you think they're okay?" "Let me see." Chen An took the photos and cigarettes, lit them up, and started looking at the photos one by one. "To be honest, brother, you are the first one to shoot like this. The story is so plain. This style is not common in China." Han Sanping, who knew the general idea of the story, also had a general idea of what Chen An planned to shoot, and was still very curious about his ideas. After looking at the photos, Chen An put the photos in his hand on the table. The photographer was also professional. The lighting and composition were all very beautiful. He was quite satisfied. "Yes, this place is good. This is it. Speaking of this, I also want to give it a try. Our directors shoot things that are deep and bitter. The audience has watched them for so many years. I will shoot something light-hearted to see if they like it." Chen An also wanted to try out the preferences of current audiences. After all, he was planning to take advantage of the popularity of "Titanic" to make a big splash. Make a movie called "My Sassy Girl" to gain popularity. But we have to shoot this movie first, as Titanic is still two years away. "That's good to hear, my friend. Let's see whether the audience likes this movie that satirizes this and that every day." Han Sanping didn't say much after hearing the explanation. He still remembered what was said on the plane. "By the way, I have borrowed Lu Le for you. I also want to cooperate with you." "That's even better. Thank you, Brother Han."
The photographer was happy that he had managed to get Chen An to take care of him, and having his partner around made the photo shoot much more efficient. "We at the Beijing Film Studio can take care of the crew and everything else for you. Do you have any ideas about the actors?" As the director of the Beijing Film Studio, it was easy for Han Sanping to do these as a member of the crew. But Chen An was hit by his question. The other characters were fine, but the heroine hadn't thought of it yet: "Not yet. I just handed in the script and I'm still thinking about it." The requirement for the heroine Chen An is that she must be good-looking and have the feeling of an urban beauty. After all, this is not a real rural film. The clothes I wear for farm work in the drama cannot look rustic. I want to be photographed beautifully, the scenery must be beautiful, and the people must be beautiful. As for cooking and other things, they are easy to solve. Acting skills do not need to be too strong. You are just a tool. So Chen An still has a headache now. "Well, take your time to think about it. I'll help you contact whoever you need when the time comes." Han Sanping spoke very domineeringly and patted his chest. Although he is not the person in charge now, he is also one of the leading figures in the Beijing circle today. Later on, it became the only one, and not just the Beijing circle. Chen An nodded and was very grateful. Afterwards, the two discussed the investment shares and finally decided on a total investment of three million. Light Year Media, registered by Chen An, and Beijing Film Studio each invested 150 million yuan. Each of them will take 50%. Chen An will not charge the director's fee this time. Beijing Film Studio will be responsible for publicity and distribution. We will shoot two films together and release them in two parts. All this has been agreed. After the conversation, Han Sanping wanted to take Chen An to his house for dinner in the evening, but Chen An refused and said he would go next time. After coming out, Chen An kept thinking about who should be the heroine. The big-name actor Chen An didn’t even think about it. Not only does it have to be good-looking, but it also has to have an urban feel and a pure feel, a sense of purity and desire but not too sexy. If it's too sexy, it won't fit in with the image and expression of the film you want to shoot. Most of the actors Chen An knows are from the later generations. Now no one knows where it is. Chen An thought that there were several famous beauties in the class of 96. Beijing Film Academy was okay, but Chen An didn't know if he had the face to ask the Central Academy of Drama to let her out to film. Currently, the only known ones are Zhang Yimou and Chen Kaige. The Four Dans and the Two Bings are not doing very well now. Two of them have just entered school and one of them he can't afford to offend. If he finds her, his movie may be ruined in the future. And it doesn’t fit the image. Mr. Zhou is not very good either, he has a baby face, and everything else is not very good either. There are minors.
"Whoo~" After putting out the cigarette in your hand and throwing it into a trash can. Chen An suddenly thought of someone, his senior schoolmate, whose works he had also seen in his previous life. It’s not very popular yet, so we can still squeeze it out. She is the fairy Jinghong who becomes more charming as she gets older. She is five years older than me and is a senior from the Performance Department. Her age also meets my requirements. Although he is known as an international actor and starred in the Hollywood movie "The Joy Luck Club" in 93, he has not yet become a hit in China like "The Flying Dagger of Li". His acting skills are acceptable and the pay is not too high, which perfectly meets his goals. A perfect tool, Chen An is very satisfied. "Go back to school and try to contact the acting teacher. Otherwise, I'll have to ask Brother Han for help." Chen An planned to try the school first, and if that didn’t work, he would then ask the powerful Han Sanping to solve the problem. This kind of actor who is not very famous is easy to use, but the disadvantage is that it is difficult to find him. Boss Chen, who had become rich, waved his hand, hailed a taxi and rushed to the school. After arriving at the school, Chen An rushed to the Performance Department. He had never been there with Chen Weishao before, so he was familiar with the place. Now that his identity is different, many classmates greeted Chen An on the road, and he nodded to those who greeted him. Then I went straight to the office of the Dean of the Acting Department. After knocking on the door and hearing what was said inside, Chen An entered. After all, it wasn't Teacher Mu himself who was disrespectful. "Director, do you have the phone number of Senior Sister Yu Jinghong? I want to ask her to be the female lead in a movie, but I don't have her contact information." Chen An asked the director straight to the point. The director was also very happy: "This is the great director who came out of our school. He has turned from darkness to light and is thinking of the people from his own school when there are roles to be played. He is not like those who left and only think of using people from the neighboring school." After that, he stood up and looked for information. He went to the shelf at the back and started looking: "Wait a minute, I'll look for her contact information for you. Otherwise, you can only contact her family." "Okay, I'll wait." Chen An didn't say much and stood behind waiting for the director to search. The above files are all organized. There are not many students in Beijing Film Academy, and there is probably only one class in each different department, so it is not difficult to find them. The director took out the file, pulled out a page from it, looked at it, and handed it to Chen An: "There is no phone number for her, only her home phone number. Write it down and remember it. You can contact her yourself when the time comes." Chen An took the document, found a pen on the table and wrote down the phone number. Thanks for the boss's reward and other bosses' monthly tickets
