Chapter 1010 Interviewing the Director
The fourth script is an ancient costume time travel TV series adapted from a novel. The heroine is a doctor. In ancient times, she used medical skills to conquer the family and court, and finally married the emperor.
Chen Hao shook his head directly. The heroine of this show has a decisive personality, and there will be a plot of palace fighting in the later stage. Such a scheming woman is not suitable for Luo Xin's personality, and the first film and television drama will harden the actors. The character design in the minds of the audience must be extremely cautious, and pure youth school dramas are one of the best choices.
"Then it's settled, choose a school play." Chen Hao happily decided.
"Great, we should have a cup to celebrate." Mei Ling suggested.
"Don't celebrate until it's formally finalized, and act on the follow-up matters quickly, sooner rather than later." Chen Hao said.
"Okay, then the most important thing is to choose a director. Director Xu Leyou Xu provided this script. He has made similar films before. This is his profile."
Mei Ling is a professional, and he has all the information of well-known domestic directors, so he immediately opened the phone page and showed it to Chen Hao.
The director is the soul of a play. With the same script, different directors will produce different styles, so the director is very important to the quality of the film.
Xu Leyou is 40 years old this year. He has been working in the film and television industry for nearly 20 years. He is a practical school who started from group acting and drama management. Chen Hao's resume is not bad. He has watched one or two movies and feels good. , I didn't expect that it was Director Xu who took the film.
When you are an audience, no one usually pays attention to who the director is. Now that you have become the owner of a film and television company, the script is not important. The key is who the director is.
For example, Spielberg, a well-known foreign director, is the best at telling stories. He can tell an ordinary story without nutrition, and he can't stop watching it. This is the director's skill.
A first-rate director can handle a third-rate script, and a third-rate director can't shoot a first-rate script well.
"Then it's him. You can call him for an interview."
Since this is Luo Xin's first play, Chen Hao needs to pay more attention to it, and intends to check the whole process for her.
"Okay, I'll call him right now to see if there's time."
Mei Ling made a phone call on the spot. After dialing, the exchange was very pleasant. After a while, Mei Ling covered the receiver and asked, "He said that the ticket can be booked soon. The main reason is when do you have time?"
"Then see you in the afternoon." Chen Hao set a time.
Mei Ling replied that the meeting was settled. On the one hand, Chen Hao was eager for talents, and the director also attached great importance to such an opportunity, so they were very quick.
Chen Hao felt very comfortable. If Luo Xin still went to another film crew for an interview, she would take the initiative to go there as a newcomer, not to mention the dust, she was still a dwarf invisibly, and needed to curry favor with the director. Now that she is the boss, the director will take the initiative to come over For the interview, they just wait at home, that's enough. It's a wise decision to start this film and television company.
In the afternoon, Mei Ling personally drove to pick up Director Xu, and then met in the villa.
"This is Mr. Chen, and this is Miss Luo Xin." Mei Ling was introducing to Xu Leyou.
Xu Leyou had done his homework when he came here, but when he saw Chen Hao face to face, he was still amazed at how young the big boss was. He offered to shake hands with Chen Hao, and then shook hands with Luo Xin.
He has a personal relationship with Mei Ling, so Mei Ling has educated Xu Leyou about science, and should respect Chen Hao and Luo Xin equally, and the whole film was made to praise Luo Xin.
A smart person can tell the truth, and Xu Leyou is also familiar with it. Financial sponsors often spend money to support their mistresses to get high positions, and play important roles in movies and TV series. Most of the actors' acting skills are bad in movies, and many of them come from this way. Director Xu was mentally prepared. Luo Xinren was beautiful and popular, so it didn't matter if he was just a vase. As long as other actors were chosen well, he could still make a good movie.
The two sides sat down, and then started a formal chat.
Chen Hao first said: "I want to hear Director Xu's opinion on this drama."
This script was prepared by Director Xu for a long time, so he understands it very deeply. The main point of the script is to highlight the youthful life of the students. The whole drama is sunny, and there are not many youth dramas that taste the forbidden fruit. Then the youthful pains episode of doubling.
When Chen Hao was listening, he nodded slightly. This director Xu is still very good, and his ideas are very suitable for Chen Hao, so he initially approved it.
"Tell me about the expectations of this drama." Chen Hao said, "What level can it reach?"
"It's hard to say, a lot of inspiration comes only when filming, but I think that as long as the investment is in place and the actors perform stably, it will definitely become a hit drama."
Then it is necessary to determine the amount of investment required. This is very critical. Many big bosses attach great importance to real money. Director Xu weighed the pros and cons and carefully stretched out four fingers.
"Is it [-] million?" Chen Hao felt that it wasn't too much. He didn't know much about film and television, and it seemed that he could often hear how many billions were invested in a certain film. These [-] million were really not too much for him.
Unexpectedly, Director Xu was taken aback by Chen Hao's words, he quickly apologized and said with a smile: "No, no, it's 4000 million. School dramas don't need that much investment."
"4000?"
Now Chen Hao is a little dissatisfied, what good movie can be made with such a small amount of money?Sister Luo Xin's first movie, don't be fooled like this.
As a result, Xu Leyou was mistaken, thinking that Chen Hao thought the budget was too much, and hurriedly said: "Then 3000 million is also fine, and we need to save a little on the venue and actors. If it is less, the quality of the film may not improve. You can rent some private houses as the real scene of the campus, and you can’t find famous people for supporting roles.”
Chen Hao suddenly laughed, and when Xu Leyou was wondering if he had said something wrong, Chen Hao said: "How can 4000 million be enough? I will give you a budget of [-] million. I will not interfere with your filming except for Luo Xin who will play the leading role. Can you make a classic movie?"
"Really? That's great, I'm sure!"
Xu Leyou was really overjoyed. He had never received such a wealthy investment. Generally, investors would try their best to lower the budget and ask for more. Unexpectedly, this Boss Chen was generous and straightforward. This is the party A that all directors dream of.
With [-] million yuan, you can do a lot of things. You can boldly use famous actors with acting skills. You can even invite old actors or traffic stars to play supporting roles such as parents.
"That's fine. After you sign the contract with Mei Ling, the money will be credited to the account immediately. All you have to do is to prepare the crew as soon as possible, and then start filming." Chen Hao said.
"Okay, I'll get ready now."
Xu Leyou happily came to shake hands with Chen Hao again, but he quickly remembered one thing, that is, he didn't know the acting skills of the heroine, and he had to fully understand it before he could choose a suitable actor.
So he turned to Luo Xin and asked tentatively, "I wonder if Miss Luo is free today, can I show off your acting skills?"
