Chapter 110
Through the encounters of Gao Shan and Lai He, he gained a clear understanding.
The market is risky.
It may be brilliant today, but it may fail tomorrow.
He finally has everything he has now, and he doesn't want to lose it again. It's really hard to live that kind of life.
He glanced at Lin Beifan secretly.
Anyway, just follow the man in front of you - that's right!
He has a ruthless eye and never misses a beat, so you can feel confident filming his movie.
Look at another street director Lai He. He has been unable to make movies for more than ten years, but only by following the right people can he rise quickly. Even if you fall midway, you can still take off again.
A thousand-mile horse always exists, but Bole does not always exist. Bole is very important.
In other words, with Bole, there is a thousand-mile horse.
Thinking of this, Zhao Tonghai asked:"Mr. Lin, has Tang Detective San been written?"
Lin Beifan shook his head:"Not yet, it will take some time!"
Tang Detective San's script has been available for a long time, but it is too lame. , so Lin Beifan planned to make a major change, or overturn and rewrite it.
This is very mentally taxing and takes time.
Zhao Tonghai's eyes darkened slightly:"It doesn't matter, this third movie does take time!"
Lin Beifan smiled and said:"Director Zhao, you have made two movies this year. Both movies were hits. You have overfulfilled the task. You can temporarily Take a rest and go back and have a good time with your family! We will shoot again after I finish the script, or if you have any good ideas!"
"Mr. Lin said yes!"Zhao Tonghai also laughed. With two popular movies in one year, he is already luckier than many directors and cannot be too greedy.
Anyway, with the Tang Detective series in hand, he will not be short of movies to make in the next two or three years.
"The movie is a hit, it’s time for me to fulfill my promise! Lin
Beifan took out his mobile phone and said with a smile:"Look, this is the car I selected for you. The Bentley G75 is a business car. It looks relatively low-key from the outside, but the interior is very luxurious and comfortable. The landing price is 4.88 million." ,like or not? If you don’t like it, pick one out and I’ll place the order for you! Zhao
Tonghai liked it at first sight:"This car is good, I want this one!""
Finally, Zhao Tonghai happily bought a luxury car.
He planned to take his family on a self-driving trip after the movie was released.
A week passed in the blink of an eye.
《"Detective Chinatown 2" has already generated a box office revenue of 700 million within 7 days of its release.
Although it doesn't look as good as"Oldboy" and"Go Back and Kill You", as a sequel, it is very successful.
Because the box office of this movie is twice that of the first one, and its reputation is pretty good.
Tang Tan's brand is stable.
As long as the quality is maintained and the film continues, it will definitely not worry about the box office.
Many people in the entertainment industry are extremely envious. This is a big gold mine, and they can keep digging no matter how hard they dig.
Another beneficiary is Qihua Video.
With the two movies"Back to the Past to Kill You" and"Tang Detective II", Qihua Video's traffic exploded, overwhelming Penguin Video for a month.
This is something that has never happened before!
Qihua Video CEO Wang Zun was so excited that he called Lin Beifan to report the matter.
"Congratulations to Mr. Wang! Lin Beifan said with a smile.
"We rejoice together, everyone makes money, haha!
At this time, President Wang took the opportunity to ask:"Mr. Lin, do you have any other movies or TV series on hand now?""
"There is also an animated movie"Nezha: The Devil Boy Comes to the World"》"Lin Beifan said honestly.
President Wang Zun couldn't help but frown.
He also knew about this movie.
He is very optimistic about Lin Beifan and admires Lin Beifan's vision, but he really has no confidence in animation movies.
Because animation movies have always been unpopular in the market. Adults don't like to watch them, and children don't have time to watch them.
Over the years, few animated movies have been profitable.
Even if you make money, it's just a small profit.
He still can't figure out why Lin Beifan got so crazy that he went to make animation movies.
Although the film should not lose money due to the other party's appeal, the price/performance ratio is not high.
If we have the funds and time, wouldn't it be better to make more live-action movies?
Why bother with money, right?
"Mr. Lin, do you have any TV series on hand right now?
Lin Beifan shook his head:"Not yet. Why does Mr. Wang ask this?""
"We are all our own people, so I will tell you directly!"
President Wang said in a solemn tone:"Although with your two movies, our traffic of Qihua has temporarily surpassed Penguin! However, after the popularity of these two movies has passed, he will inevitably catch up!"
"Their foundation is so strong that surpassing them won't happen overnight! Therefore, I hope you can make a TV series, preferably a longer one, with seventy or eighty episodes, which can be played for three or four months!"
"In this way, we can stabilize the traffic and surpass Penguin Video! Of course, this is just my suggestion. If you can’t find a good book, don’t take pictures. Your reputation is very important and cannot be compromised!
Lin Beifan nodded:"Okay, I'll think about it!" Mr.
Wang immediately promised:"If you need anything, just say it, we will definitely support you!""
After hanging up the phone, Lin Beifan thought seriously.
If he followed Mr. Wang's request, he could find several scripts, all of which are popular TV series that have been tested by the market.
However, it would be too time-consuming to film them..
A long-running TV series with 70 or 80 episodes would take at least a year to film.
In addition to post-production, it would not take more than a year and a half.
If there are some other problems, then more It's a waste of time.
He doesn't have the time to spend two years filming a TV series.
In addition, it takes two years to film a TV series, and the cost will definitely not be low. The entire crew eats, drinks and eats. It's money. The actors' remuneration has to be taken into consideration.
He prefers short and fast films. The faster the filming, the better, the sooner it is released, the sooner the money is made, the better.
At this moment, a magical drama appeared in front of him.
《Love Apartments"!
This is a super drama with all kinds of advantages.
First, casting is easy.
This TV series tells the story of young people and shows the life of modern young people. It is very easy to act.
So, as long as you are young, handsome, have some acting skills, and can laugh and be funny, it will be fine.
This kind of actor is not uncommon in the entertainment industry. You can get as many as you want.
Second, it’s easy to shoot.
The filming of this TV series is very easy, basically just a few places, either in the apartment, or outside the apartment, or in a bar or radio broadcast room.
If the actors' acting skills are online and the efficiency is high enough, the next episode can be filmed in a day or two.
Third, the investment is small and the cost is low.
This TV series uses young actors, the scenes are simple enough, and no special effects are used. How high can the cost be?
Fourth, it has withstood the test of the market and is popular.
Every character in the TV series is very classic.
The fierce and fierce Hu Yifei has great martial arts skills!
Zeng Xiaoxian is invincible if he humbles himself!
Chen Meijia, who is a nymphomaniac and often lacks strength!
Lu Ziqiao, a playboy who flirts with women and cheats everywhere!
……
There are also their quotations, which are very classic and are still out of date today.
"We all agree, I have the final say! If there is a disagreement, she has the final say!"
"Since ancient times, no one has ever died, whether he dies early or dies late!"
"Let’s talk about 50-50, who is the 50?"
"Although he is ugly, he is very ugly. He is very ugly!"
"Sturdy life without explanation!"
……
Thinking of this, Lin Beifan felt that he could no longer hesitate and made the decision:"Okay, let's shoot"Love Apartment"! Shoot four movies in a row and have 80 episodes, and save money!" After two days,
Lin Beifan came up with the idea."Love Apartment" Part 1.
During this process, Lin Beifan also spent some time making modifications to make him more in line with this era.
The next step is to find someone to form a crew for filming.
This problem has never been a problem for Lin Beifan.
As long as he waved his hand, many directors enthusiastically signed up.
But at this moment, he thought of Gao Shan and Liu Shui.
Although they only worked together once, the three of them established a good friendship.
When we were filming"Detective Chinatown 1", they also came over and helped a lot.
He is not a bad person in the first place, but he was unlucky and failed to make a TV series.
Now that there is a chance, Lin Beifan wants to help them.
Thinking of this, Lin Beifan picked up his cell phone and dialed a familiar number, but no one answered.
After nearly a minute, when I was about to hang up, a voice came from the other side. (To read exciting novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)
"Ahem...who is it? What's the matter with calling? His voice was very tired and hoarse, as if he had just woken up from sleep.
Lin Beifan was stunned:"You don't know how to drink, do you?""
"Yesterday... I did drink a little yesterday, only four or five kilograms of liquor, not much... Ahem!"
Lin Beifan blinked. Isn't this much?
I'm almost drunk to death!"
"Where is Liu Shui?"
"He was sleeping next to me. He only drank three or four kilograms and he couldn’t survive. He couldn’t compare to me, haha!"
Are you still proud?
Lin Beifan didn't want to talk nonsense anymore and said straight to the point:"Gao Shan, I am Lin Beifan. I have a modern urban love TV series here and I want to find a director to film it. I wonder if you are interested?"
"who? Who do you think you are... Lin Bei... Fan? Lin
Beifan nodded:"Yes, I am Lin Beifan, the Lin Beifan who once cooperated with you!""
There was a crackling sound and a scream from the other end of the phone.
Lin Beifan deduced from the sound that the other party might have fallen from the bed and hit the table and chairs, so all the glass cups on it were knocked down and hit. It hit his head.
Thinking of this, Lin Beifan couldn't help but become happy. He didn't mean it, he just couldn't help it.
"Ha ha ha ha……"
After a while, the voice came again from the other end of the phone
"It turns out to be Mr. Lin. I'm really sorry. I just woke up and my mind is still very confused! Well, how about we talk about the TV series in the afternoon? Lin
Beifan said:"Okay, you should know where my home is. Come over here and we can talk at home!""
"Okay, no problem, see you in the afternoon!"
Arrived at about 3:00 in the afternoon, Lin Beifan saw Gao Shan and Liu Shui at home.
This was the first time Lin Beifan saw the two of them after three months.
Compared with the high spirits at the beginning, the two of them had become much more depressed. , the eyebrows are not so confident anymore.
Among them, director Gao Shan still has a big bandage on his head, which is fresh and oozing with blood.
"Mr. Lin, I regret it! As soon as Liu
Shui saw Lin Beifan, he said regretfully:"If we had listened to your advice and not made that TV series, we wouldn't be like this!""
"Yes, it’s all because we were too inflated at the time and couldn’t recognize the facts! I thought that if I made a drama, I would be awesome and a great director, but in the end I found out that it was nothing! Gao Shan laughed at himself.
Lin Beifan waved his hand:"This is all in the past. Which filmmaker has never made a mistake?" If you can recognize yourself now and start over from scratch, you will still have opportunities in the future!"
"Mr. Lin said yes! The two nodded humbly.
At this time, Lin Beifan took out two notebooks:"Here are the scripts. Take a look at them first!""
"OK! The two took the script and read it carefully.
After half an hour,
Lin Beifan asked:"How is the script?""
Liu Shui's eyebrows were a little solemn:"The script is very interesting, and the characters in it are also very interesting. It makes me want to continue reading! I don’t know if it will be a hit if it’s filmed, but the ratings should be good!"
"I feel the same way! This is a modern urban youth idol drama, but it is completely different from the current youth idol dramas. It is very interesting! Director Gao Shan agreed.
Lin Beifan asked:"Can you shoot it?""
"Yes, it's easy! As long as the casting is in place and those rooms are set up, filming can begin! Lin
Beifan smiled:"In that case, then this TV series will be left to you!""
Gao Shan and Liu Shui looked at each other with a look of surprise on their faces.
Then they stood up in unison, bowed to Lin Beifan, and said excitedly:"Thank you, Mr. Lin, for giving us this precious opportunity. We will definitely take a good photo!""
They have long figured it out. With Lin Beifan's fame, there must be no shortage of directors.
The reason why I gave this script to them is obviously to give them a hand.
This is a great favor, and a great favor will never be forgotten!"
"You two have spoken seriously, please sit down and continue talking!"
Then, everyone discussed the details of the cooperation.
Gao Shan was naturally the director.
Liu Shui was the producer, managed the crew, and assisted in the shooting.
Lin Beifan said that this is just the first part of"Love Apartment".
He will shoot four movies in a row, each with 20 Episodes. The subsequent scripts will be written one after another, so the two don't have to worry.
Director Gao Shan said:"To shoot 4 movies in a row, if you don't hire popular stars, it will cost about 20 million!" If the casting is successful, the first part can be filmed in a month! In another three or four months, the remaining three films can be filmed!"
Lin Beifan nodded. This is almost as he expected.
It saves money and time.
"Mr. Lin, don't you play a role?"Liu Shui asked expectantly.
Having known Lin Beifan for so long, he already knew his character.
He likes to play roles in the films and TV dramas he shoots. Although he doesn't have many roles, he is often the highlight and stands out in the minds of the audience. It left a deep impression on the audience.
Moreover, with Lin Beifan participating, the ratings will increase a lot.
Lin Beifan nodded naturally:"Yes, I will play Xiao Hei!"
The two were confused:"Xiao Hei?" Is there such a role?
Lin Beifan pointed at the script:"Yes, look for it!""
The two of them rummaged quickly and finally found this character. They were all dumbfounded.
"Mr. Lin, this Xiao Hei... is just a character in everyone's mouth. Shenlong has seen its beginning but not its end, and has no chance to appear! Lin
Beifan laughed strangely:"It's true that I didn't appear in the first part, but there will be opportunities later!""
This Xiao Hei is almost an omnipotent figure in the love apartment. When the protagonists encounter problems, they can't help but turn to Xiao Hei.
But this character is basically spread in everyone's mouth and has many opportunities to appear. Everyone We all know it, but the audience has never seen it. He is a bit like the master in the love apartment.
Lin Beifan thought this character was very interesting and met his filming requirements, so he took the role.
"Mr. Lin, why don't you think about it again?"
"I don’t think about it anymore, just play Xiao Hei!"
After the discussion, Lin Beifan logged into the tenant group.
Lin Beifan: Dear tenants, the landlord recently couldn't help but vote for a TV series! (Hey.jpg)
Lin Beifan: This is a modern youth love TV series, the name It's called"Love Apartment" and it tells the ridiculous story of several young men and women living together!
Lin Beifan: There are four movies in total, each with 20 episodes! To save trouble, I plan to shoot four movies in a row!
Lin Beifan: The main character in it is The roles are... The specific requirements are...
Lin Beifan: In addition to the main characters, there are also many supporting roles, and the roles are not short. You can choose according to your own needs! They are... The specific requirements are...
As Lin Beifan's news was released When I went out, there were three explosions among the tenants...
