Chapter One Hundred and Thirty: Supporting Little Junior Sister
What the director is most annoying is that someone is pointing fingers on the set. Li Xiaohu himself is also a director, so he will naturally not disturb Tang Wan's work.
This is the first time Tang Wan has directed a complete movie. She definitely does not want any flaws. Li Xiaohu believes that her directing level may not be as good as Tang Wan, a genius beauty. So sometimes even if she sees something that is not very pleasant, she will resist and not raise it on the spot. Instead, she will ask her own questions in a discussion tone after the filming comes to an end.
"Xiaowan, "The Ghost Record" is a pseudo-documentary. When we promote it, we also regard it as a gimmick as a gimmick, and spread news on the Internet in the form of news. Therefore, its biggest feature should be real and close to life. What you have carefully crafted now is that the picture is indeed beautiful, but will it feel a little distorted? Will the performance traces of the actors be too heavy?" Li Xiaohu and Tang Wan were spent all day in the crew recently, and they had a good relationship. They usually call her nicknames intimately.
"I think it's okay. In the final analysis, pseudo-documentary films are always a movie. It's an art. Whether the picture is beautiful or not has nothing to do with authenticity, right?" Tang Wan shook her head stubbornly and said seriously: "I have watched all the publicity plans and will grasp the right degree. Senior brother, since you ask me to be a director, please believe in my ability. If you are afraid that I will mess it up, it's still time to change the director."
"Xiaowan, you are so excited," Li Xiaohu felt that he had been very careful in his speech, but he didn't expect that it would still cause a strong backlash from his junior sister. He raised his hands and said with a smile: "I'm just reminding you that you are the director, and you should make your own decisions, and I won't interfere..."
Tang Wan also felt that she was too sensitive, so she smiled embarrassedly and said, "Sorry, I was overreacting, but senior brother, don't worry, I don't want my debut work, there are any flaws... I will definitely shoot it carefully, and I deserve your trust in your senior brother."
Speaking of which, the cost of this movie is much higher than the original version of the previous life. After the Li brothers threw out the Internet business, the burden was greatly reduced. In addition, the recent capital of tens of millions of dollars was made, so the money was a bit boring. The funding budget of "The Legend of the Ghost" was increased to about 500,000. Compared with a movie with only two actors and no big scenes, the funding budget of 500,000 can only be described as luxury.
Moreover, Tang Wan also knew that the Li brothers' company attached great importance to this "Ghost Record", but Li Xiaohu was able to hand over all the rights of the crew to her as a novice, so she was particularly grateful to her senior brother's trust.
"Haha, it goes without saying that it's so serious. I'm also a director and can understand your thoughts," Li Xiaohu patted Tang Wan's delicate shoulder with encouragement and said with a smile: "There are not many scenes in "My Fair Princess 2". I believe it will be able to finish filming in one month at most. At that time, I plan to start another romance scene for the original crew. Are you interested in picking up?"
"Ah?" Tang Wan was shocked.
"My Fair Princess" is so popular now. As Li Xiaohu's assistant director and as a person in the game, she naturally only has a deeper feeling. Moreover, she also participated in the second part throughout the process. If nothing unexpected happens, the ratings will be even more popular.
All the actors in the drama "Return of the Condor Heroes" can be said to be very popular and popular. It is conceivable that if you use the original cast to shoot another TV series, as long as the script is not too bad, the ratings will be guaranteed.
However, because of the popularity of "My Fair Princess", the value of the actors in the play has skyrocketed. To use the original cast to shoot a movie, the pay alone is a huge expense. So Tang Wan was stunned when she heard that Li Xiaohu was interested in letting her take the lead.
If you can direct such a TV series, it will be an immeasurable qualification for a new director. Qualification is an extremely valuable asset for the director and will have a profound impact on your future career.
Why do well-known directors always attract investment? Isn’t it because they have enough qualifications to make investors trust? Why is it difficult for new directors to make a comeback? It is because they do not have enough qualifications. Investors are afraid that their investment will be wasted, so they refuse to take risks easily.
If Tang Wan could direct a TV series with a rating of more than 20 or even 30 o'clock, then even if Li Xiaohu, the senior brother, won't be able to support her in the future, there will be a large number of investors waving checks to invite her to film.
And this four romance drama that Li Xiaohu casually said... no script, no funds, no actors, and even the name of the TV series is... Can its ratings reach twenty points? Tang Wan has no doubts about this... The appeal of the original cast of "My Fair Princess" alone is enough to have such great power. Moreover, Tang Wan believes that with the talent of her senior brother, the scripts she has produced will never be bad, and the ratings may be able to catch up with "My Fair Princess".
In fact, Li Xiaohu was planning to let Tang Wan film "Deep Love" and this was the only Qiong Yao drama in his previous life that was close to "Return of the Condor Heroes" in ratings, with the highest ratings exceeding forty points. The old and young men may not like this drama very much, but the ratings of the romance drama are always guaranteed.
Although Tang Wan is young, she is talented, especially when dealing with some touching emotional dramas, she has great ideas, so Li Xiaohu plans to let her take on the responsibility.
Li Xiaohu really has no love for romance dramas. He filmed two films "Return of the Condor Heroes", and had basically wiped out his patience. He smiled and did not reveal his plans for the time being. He just said: "Xiaowan, please concentrate on filming "Ghost Records" first. I will write the new script as soon as possible. I will show it to you when the time comes, and you will decide whether to take it..."
"Well, I will work hard..." Tang Wan nodded vigorously. No matter how talented the beautiful girl was, she was a little excited at this time. She held her hands in her chest and said gratefully: "Thank you, senior brother, for your love..."
Li Xiaohu calmly accepted the gratitude of the junior sister. He could bear this gratitude and let a newcomer take the lead. Even if Tang Wan is outstanding in talent, Li Xiaohu still took a great risk.
You should know that after "Return of the Condor Heroes 2" is broadcast, the value of the actors in the drama will definitely soar. The original cast will bring out a show, and the total investment will be at least 25 million. Li Xiaohu dares to hand over such a large investment TV series to a newcomer like Tang Wan to direct it. This is really amazing... This is also because Li Xiaohu recognizes Tang Wan's talent, otherwise even if he wants to praise his junior sister, there is no need to spend money like this.
