Liu Qingshan understood the meaning of Chen Long's words.
Once a person is killed in the film, the investment will be ruined, and the compensation for the aftermath will be much higher than 10 million Hong Kong dollars.
"There's one more thing. Actually, this issue has been weighing on my mind for several days. I don't know if I should tell my brother about it!"
"There is nothing we should hide between us brothers!"
"It's just my superficial personal understanding. Brother, just take it as a joke! I think our "Myth" has an obvious loophole! Everyone knows that Brother's movies are in the process of transformation. This film is about emotions, Both sides of Kung Fu want to take advantage of it. But after reading the script, I had an idea. This Kung Fu comedy mainly focuses on modern drama, and the sensational passages mainly focus on ancient drama. The transition between the two is very abrupt."
Having said this, Liu Qingshan paused intentionally, as if waiting for Chen Long to refute.
Unexpectedly, the other party's mind was much broader than he imagined. He just listened carefully with a solemn expression.
"For example, one second we were playing and joking in modern times, just like any other movie, and the next second we switched to ancient tragic scenes of loyalty to the emperor and defending our country; and after a while, the solemn and solemn atmosphere became slightly more solemn, and then suddenly it jumped back to the modern drama. . The audience’s emotional empathy is broken, and I think this is the biggest problem in our film.”
"Then what kind of changes do you mean?"
"There is no problem with the overall framework. I think the comedy style of the elder brother should be slightly continued in the ancient drama. This will not exceed the original story framework and character settings. And in terms of martial arts, will there be some spectacular additions? For epic scenes, these do not need to be shot separately. Today’s computer special effects can already solve part of the problem, and they don’t need a lot. One or two minutes is enough.”
"The issue of computer special effects is something I have been thinking about. You know my style. In personal scenes, I am very resistant to more special effects."
"But this kind of scene is indispensable for any epic masterpiece. Coupled with the solemn orchestral music and bel canto chorus, one or two minutes is enough!"
"Well, you can completely make it separately and it depends on the effect. If it's not suitable, just don't use it! Your suggestion is very good, are there any others?"
"Hype! Use this accident to make a big fuss, but it doesn't need to be promoted in a big way. Instead, it is leaked privately as an internal staff member of the crew. I know that the video of the time was recorded!"
"Isn't this risky for the film? You also know that public opinion is difficult to control. Once the trend goes against our wishes, it will be extremely difficult to save it! Moreover, the producer will definitely stop it as soon as possible Otherwise, why would they be willing to pay 10 million?"
"What is leaked in advance will be edited in advance. In short, it will have certain disadvantages for "Myth". Then the crew will hold a press conference to release the complete video materials and reveal the relevant compensation agreement. Of course, we The two parties concerned will also speak out at the same time to refute the rumors and restore the situation at that time in detail."
"Why do I think this is a bit mysterious? And it's a bit big!"
"Brother, you don't need to come forward in this matter. Just give the feedback to the producer truthfully. Just treat it as a suggestion from someone below! I think this kind of unexpected incident can be properly resolved in time, which will undoubtedly highlight the generosity and kindness of the producer. Respecting benevolence and righteousness has invisibly expanded their noble professionalism and reduced the ruthlessness of pure business!"
"But the risks involved cannot be ignored, right?"
"I know that the risk that the elder brother mentioned is nothing more than the sudden break of the coercion on the day of fear of being caught. This point can be made in writing now, and we can ask the local notary department and security department Do a good job of on-site notarization!”
"Doesn't that mean this matter has become a big deal? It seems that you don't understand the original intention of the producer. They only have two requirements, one is to eliminate the impact, and the other is to ensure that the filming schedule remains unchanged!"
"Do they really think they can hide such a big thing? Even if there is no subsequent hype, the news will spread to some extent. You also said yesterday that there are many reporters outside the hospital!"
"Well, it is indeed a hidden danger! According to this, no matter whether the hype can be successful or not, the aftermath measures must be arranged in advance!"
"It doesn't cost much to call the relevant departments, and it is indeed the case. With such a sharp rock and a big living person hanging from the pressure, the break is a pure accident and there is no problem!"
"And if we actively invite those departments to come for inspections, can we still gain a reputation for honesty and trustworthiness?"
"This is certain, but regardless of whether there is any future hype, the other party must be informed in advance. This kind of thing must not be leaked, otherwise it will seriously affect future production and distribution!"
At this point, director Tang Jerry, who had been watching from the sidelines and never spoke, spoke:
"Brother, what Qingshan said is very feasible. Nowadays, the hype is gradually becoming a trend. Currently, Hollywood has specially opened this type of course for this purpose. I have a hunch that once the planning is completed, it will have an impact on the attendance of our film. It’s a huge help!”
"How can the producer say anything? The key is their cooperation. In fact, we only focus on filming. In the end, the attendance rate has little to do with us!"
"But it is closely related to your future fame, especially in such a critical transformation stage! And don't forget, brother, Qinghuang still has your shares!"
Qinghuang's full name is Qinghuang Pictures Co., Ltd. It is the sole investor, producer and producer of "The Myth" and is a long-established film company in Hong Kong.
It is different from that "Detective Detective Dee". The latter was a committee-based production method, which was a new model funded by multiple companies in order to spread risks.
In this way, while diversifying financial risks, if there is any income, it will be distributed based on the ratio of investment.
For sponsoring companies, the funds required for each work are reduced, so they can participate in more works and it is easier to raise production costs.
The "Myth" project that Qinghuang participated in has the most traditional operation method, so its producer and producer are meshed together.
"Then you go and deal with Brother Cheng. I'm afraid I'll get scolded if I go!"
Chen Long lowered his head and pondered for a long time, but decided not to take action personally.
Uncle Yang's name is Yang Wancheng. He is the largest shareholder, chairman and real talker of Qinghuang, a behemoth.
"I think it's really inappropriate for you to go. At least I'm still an employee of Qinghuang. Fortunately, Brother Cheng came here in the past two days. You can't explain this kind of thing clearly on the phone!"
Tang Jerry is Qinghuang's contracted director, and it falls within his scope of responsibility to report important events in the crew in a timely manner.
Chen Long is Qinghuang's major shareholder, and Yang Wancheng is Emperor's boss. The relationship between the two can be said to be excellent.
Furthermore, Chen Long has been in the entertainment industry for too long. The reason why he has survived for so long is that he has a certain ability to coordinate all the forces in the big dye vat of Xiangjiang.
All of this was possible thanks to Yang Wancheng's great help, so they had an old friendship that could quarrel at any time without affecting their mutual feelings.
