Chapter 613 Film Production Begins
Chapter 613 Film Production Begins
What Qian Le said makes sense.
Movies with high box office always have some outstanding aspects.
Or the plot is exciting enough to make people want to continue watching.
Either the special effects are constantly improved to bring great visual enjoyment.
Either all big-name actors gather together, or there will be a large number of fans supporting it before it’s even released.
Or maybe a combination of two or all three.
In short, there are some things that the director's level cannot make up for no matter what.
But it's fine to just think about this in your mind. If the director himself or someone around him says it out loud, it will inevitably be suspected of bragging.
Qian Yiming smiled sheepishly: "Le Le is young and usually speaks without restraint. I'm sorry to make Mr. Lu laugh."
Lu Wantang shook his head: "I think Miss Qian is right."
"I have actually watched Director Qian's film, and there are a few places where I really want to know why Director Qian shot it that way..."
When he heard that it was a professional topic, Qian Yiming even spoke more seriously.
Moreover, Lu Wantang asked questions very professionally, as if the person standing in front of him was a relatively professional, fledgling director.
Even Qian Le looked at Lu Wantang with admiration unconsciously.
——I always feel that she is overestimating herself when competing with this super-successful person!
In fact, Lu Wantang asked these questions with some consideration in mind.
Although she did not listen carefully to the directing course given by the system, her initial purpose was to convey the course content to Chen Nan. She did not even participate in the assessment of the system course, but at least she heard some content, so it was no problem for her to ask some highly professional questions.
As for Qian Yiming's answer, it directly determined whether she would invite him to join Tangxing.
You know, even though Qian Yiming is still famous in the TV drama circle, after switching to the big screen, due to a series of failures and his movie box office failing to recover costs, no one is willing to invest in his movies anymore. Many people also think that his sudden switch to the big screen is like picking up sesame seeds and losing watermelons.
After all, now is a critical moment for the interconnection of several continents. Many people cannot understand why they do not want to gain a foothold in their own strong fields but dare to turn to the big screen.
Lu Wantang had watched the TV series starring Qian Yiming and had thought about poaching him before. As a result, he also watched two of Qian Yiming's failed movies.
From the perspective of ordinary audiences, the movie is really bad. Both the actors and the story are a bit unbearable to watch.
But the "bad" aspects do not include shooting techniques and picture composition.
In fact, Lu Wantang felt that there was nothing wrong with director Qian Yiming's level.
That is why she agrees with Qian Le’s point of view.
At times like this, the probability that Tang Xing will come to the rescue and sign the person is very high.
not to mention--
While listening to Qian Yiming's answer, Lu Wantang looked calmly at the system panel that only he could see.
On the panel were a series of message alerts that she had blocked during the TV drama festival.
Skip the completion tips for a series of side quests, and at the bottom are the rewards for special quests:
[Special mission completed]
[Task Reward: Film production starts, movie scripts added to the 'Lucky Wheel']
The launch of the film project coincides with Qian Yiming’s current demands.
After confirming Qian Yiming's level as a director once again, Lu Wantang smiled slightly and changed the subject:
"Thank you Director Qian for your help. You are a very good director. Do you have any new filming plans this year?"
Qian Yiming's smile froze: "Not yet."
He couldn't help but sighed: "To be honest, I have been looking for a suitable script, but I haven't found it yet."
Qian Le at the side interrupted: "Uncle wants to remake his old movies!"
It’s a pity that no one is willing to invest in a remake.
Lu Wantang raised his eyebrows: "Actually, I have a movie script in my hand."
Qian Yiming and Qian Le's eyes lit up at first, but then they became a little hesitant.
The expressions of the uncle and nephew were exactly the same, showing a tacit understanding.
Lu Wantang couldn't help laughing, but she didn't intend to promise anything to anyone, she just asked:
"Why did Director Qian want to switch to the big screen?"
Qian Yiming was stunned for a moment, and felt that there was nothing he couldn't say, "Because what I wanted to make in the beginning was a movie."
He had gained some fame in the director circle because of a few short films. Later, someone extended an olive branch to him and asked if he would like to make a TV series. He thought of using TV series as a stepping stone, so he naturally agreed.
I originally thought that my directing ability had been honed and that I would have no problem making it to the big screen, but I didn't expect that good quality movie scripts were hard to come by, and investors who didn't interfere in the crew's affairs were even harder to find.
Now I am in a dilemma.
"In that case—" Lu Wantang paused and said as a matter of course, "Director Qian doesn't have any new films to shoot right now, so why not take a look at the script in my hand first."
"This is also the first time for us at Tangxing Entertainment to be involved in the film and television industry. There may be many shortcomings, but I have always been confident in my scripts."
Qian Yiming was still a little hesitant.
Qian Le had a complicated expression on his face: "Did you write the movie script too?"
Lu Wantang, who was unable to find a truly new screenwriter, nodded.
"Tsk." Qian Le curled his lips and muttered to himself, 'Comparing yourself to others will only make you angry.'
At this time, Qian Yiming also spoke up: "I can read the script first and then make a decision. The question is, if I really take on this script, will I have the final say on all matters concerning the crew?"
"No one will interfere with the director's work." Lu Wantang can guarantee this.
"Including casting?"
“Including casting.”
Lu Wantang answered with absolute certainty, and did not even bother to recommend any of the artists under his own company.
Qian Yiming was satisfied and said immediately: "Then I agree."
Lu Wantang raised an eyebrow: "Aren't you worried that the script won't be satisfactory?"
Qian Yiming said cheerfully: "I know my Lele's screenwriting skills well, and Mr. Lu's screenwriting skills are only higher, not lower."
To be honest, Lu Wantang is very confident in everything he says and does, but it's not the kind of arrogant complacency that makes him look down on others. Instead, it's the confidence that comes from the bottom of his heart.
Based on this point, Qian Yiming was willing to agree to cooperate once.
Anyway, he still has the chance to try and make mistakes.
After chatting here, they all felt that it was enough, so they exchanged contact information, and Qian Yiming and his nephew left.
It was not until then that Chang Yun came over.
He looked scared: "Fortunately you are okay..."
"I'll be fine." Lu Wantang consoled him, and the topic turned to work. "Brother Yun, go talk to Director Qian and make sure to recruit people to our Tangxing."
"That's easy." Chang Yun, who was extremely confident in Lu Wantang's talent, never thought that the other party would not want to stay after reading the script.
"You almost got into trouble..."
