Chapter 500 Golden Partner
To shoot a movie, it is obviously impossible without a suitable team. There are actors and shooting venues, and now there is only team left.
The stylist is directly omitted. Anyway, the actors can just wear their own costumes, but the makeup artist cannot be ignored!
Xu Jiayan can bring her own makeup artist, but the rest do not. Strictly speaking, actors are not worthy of being promoted when they are on camera without makeup, because the current cameras are not as blurry as before, and the shooting clarity is quite high.
If there is a slight flaw, it will be infinitely magnified on the screen. Even in the form of a pseudo-documentary, it will make them appear more photogenic!
Chen Jiaxuan's studio used to have a special team of makeup artists, but now it's not a bad idea to take that group of people over and use them. Anyway, they have been working together for a long time, and the price level is clear to each other.
As for the crew coordination, Chen Jiaxuan is the one who is the smallest crew, there are all kinds of troubles. Lin Han is too late to do filming as a "new" director, so there is no time to deal with these trivial matters!
It just so happened that Chen Jiaxuan had free time and had such ability, so it was very appropriate to hold this position. Lin Han even planned to turn himself and Chen Jiaxuan into the Chinese version of Nolan couple.
In the world of the previous life, the great American director Christopher Nolan and his wife Emma Thomas were such a golden partner. Emma Thomas was responsible for the production. Nolan only needs to devote himself to the filming of the movie, which is what Lin Han envies!
Movies are not something that can start immediately if you want to shoot. Even though Lin Han has been preparing for so long, his preparations have not been completed yet.
...
At this time, Chen Jiaxuan had already finished reading the novel. She knew nothing about the script and couldn't understand what it meant, so she didn't read it carefully.
"Dear, your book is indeed quite interesting, readers should like it more." She wanted to speak but stopped, not knowing whether to pour cold water on it!
Lin Han saw her hesitation and asked, "Do you have anything else to say?"
Chen Jiaxuan pursed her lips, "It's interesting to watch as a novel, but if it's made into a movie, do you plan to let the audience watch the characters talk nonstop for 90 minutes? I guess most people can't sit still."
When Chen Jiaxuan puts himself in others, she feels it is difficult for her to sit in the cinema for so long. Although it can make people shine, there has been no change for such a long time. This seems to be not the model of mainstream movies!
"You said that, but this movie was not made for everyone to watch. Be patient and willing to think is our target crowd. Do you want to be a movie invested 100,000 yuan to be loved by all audiences?"
This movie is a love letter dedicated to science fiction enthusiasts. Even the RMB is not recognized by everyone, and he has never expected it.
The target audience will be determined before filming every movie. For example, "Bears" will definitely not expect young people in their twenties to support them. Its target audience is a family with children.
Anyway, this movie that has not been filmed is destined to cause a sensation. There are too many gimmicks on it. It is Lin Han’s comeback after his defeat in "Breaking Out of the Solar System", his transformation after becoming an internationally renowned science fiction master, a small-cost science fiction film with only 100,000 yuan, and an expert group with a strong lineup!
Chen Jiaxuan was not surprised that this movie would pay attention. What she cared about was the audience and the reviewers. If this work had a bad reputation, Lin Han probably wouldn't develop into the film industry again.
The script raised the most important question at the beginning of the show. The protagonist said that he survived during the time of the Shanding Cave. Do you believe it?
Whether the audience believes it or not, they will be driven by their curiosity, so they will sit in their seats and watch it carefully. The things discussed in this movie will not be particularly profound, so that the audience can understand it.
If the group of professors from Peking University were really allowed to go deeper, all the audience would probably be confused. Only people of the same level could understand it. Lin Han should try to avoid such a thing!
"Dear, I need you to help me. I can't support this crew alone. Next, I have to call Wang Hao and ask if he has any familiar lighting engineers and photographers."
Chen Jiaxuan is very leisurely at work now. She only takes Lin Han as a writer. She usually deals with some things related to the entertainment industry in Galaxy Group. Now that Lin Han is going to make a movie, she of course is willing.
"Don't worry, go and take the photo, leave the rest to me."
This is not only Lin Han who practices with the movie alone, but Chen Jiaxuan also uses this small crew to train her management and coordination skills. She wants to stand at the top with Lin Han!
If the movie can win the best film, then the entire crew will come on stage to receive the award together, which is what Chen Jiaxuan wants.
But now it seems that everything is too early, and daydreaming is still OK!
Next, Lin Han called his friend Wang Hao, "Mouse, is it convenient for you to speak now?"
"Of course, now our group has become a retirement group. After filming a movie called "Journey to the West", the team has almost gone astigmatized. Now they sit in CCTV's TV series center to play computer games all day long, so they are so boring."
Wang Hao's complaining voice came from the phone. He and Lin Han graduated from the same class, but now they have retired in advance. People with a little ambition are unwilling to do so.
Lin Han comforted him and said, "Since you are playing games, then you can ask me to play the blacklist with me if you have time. I have more time!"
"Is that so? When will you have time tomorrow? We haven't played games together for a long time! It seems that there are a few years, I really miss college. What is running under the sunset is my lost youth."
"It probably won't work tomorrow. We have to make another appointment. I called to ask if you have any familiar lighting engineers and photographers, who must be really capable and cheap!"
Wang Hao stood in the fire passage in the corridor. While smoking, he began to think, "What are you looking for them? Could you take photos of something?"
Lin Han was a legend in their class. He has been a big crew since the beginning. After graduation, he joined the crew as an assistant director. Then he didn't know when he transformed into a director of a domestic science fiction blockbuster. Although the box office and reputation were both bad, being able to direct a blockbuster at that age was a miracle!
Not to mention that Lin Han later relied on writing novels to counterattack, and became an existence that the same class of students looked up to. Some people were not very interested in Lin Han's achievements in the field of literature, but at the Venice Film Festival not long ago, Lin Han was a big show.
There are not many people in China who can win awards at the three major European film festivals, not to mention that Lin Han also set the age record of the winner of the Best Script Award and became the youngest winner!
Movies are obviously inseparable from scripts. If you can write excellent scripts, your strength will never be too bad.
"Yes, I'm going to make a low-cost science fiction film. I'm a director myself and I still lack photographers and lighting engineers." Lin Han was not prepared to hide it from Wang Hao, and his friends must be trustworthy.
Wang Hao was excited when he heard this: "You are finally willing to come back to make a movie! But it seems that you haven't even found a team. Isn't this a big pit?"
"Anyway, the shooting content is very simple. If I can't find it, I can only go to our school's alumni association to find the seniors from previous generations."
The benefits of professional graduation are here. Huaxia Drama Academy has cultivated many talents over the years. These are Lin Han’s connections, and photography and lighting can be found in alumni.
At this time, Wang Hao couldn't help but recommend himself: "What do you think of me? I'm one of the best in the class in my photography skills, and I have also attended the photography department. If you want to save costs, come to me! My whole body is about to rust."
"Aren't you going to work?" Lin Han explained, "I'm not going to shoot for a day or two. Do you still have to ask for leave to help me?"
"Damn it, I don't want to do it here anymore. I'll do it with you in the future. As long as I don't starve to death!"
Wang Hao is not a fool either. Lin Han is now a billionaire. Even if Lin Han doesn’t shoot movies later, his science fiction novels will be filmed by others. With his relationship with Lin Han and his own abilities, he can become an assistant director or chief photographer without getting the right to shoot, so he will not have to worry about making money!
Lin Han didn't expect that this guy trusted him so much. He also said in a clear way: "I suggest you wait first, my movie only invests 100,000 yuan. If you quit for this small-cost movie, it is not cost-effective. You can wait for the movie to come out, and if the reputation is good, then quit!"
This is why friends who are intimate will persuade him like this. Lin Han didn't want his friends to get on his own pirate ship in a confused manner.
"What you mean is 100,000 yuan?" Wang Hao was so impressed. He thought that the small cost in Lin Han's mouth meant 10 or 20 million yuan, but he didn't know that there were several zeros missing directly!
Which science fiction film is not costing hundreds of millions now? It’s embarrassing to promote it to the public only a few tens of millions. It’s enough to make some special effects to burn money. Those special effects pictures can be said to be hundreds of thousands of dollars a second.
Lin Han was also amused by Wang Hao's reaction. He said affirmatively: "It's just that little money, so you can do it yourself. I definitely can't give a big price. The actors are all played by friends, and even Xu Jiayan didn't give him a penny of his salary."
"What kind of science fiction can you make with this little money?"
Wang Hao's words are obviously the same as the voice of many people. 100,000 yuan can only buy a 2-square-meter house in Yanjing, and it is a bit too difficult to use as a toilet. This money is used to make movies. I am afraid that the rental fee for camera equipment is not enough!
