Chapter 230 Funny Girls Don't Need to Worry
With the instructions from Boss Jia, Leshi.com moved quickly. In less than a week, the 12 million revenue share of "Forensic Qin Ming" was fully settled.
In addition, the IP copyright and film and television adaptation rights of the entire "Green Vine Series" and "Soul Ferry" were also included.
People keep their words, and Meng Bai will naturally abide by his promise.
According to his original plan, after the filming of "The Ancient City of Jingjue" was completed, Arc Light would continue to launch two projects, "Psychological Crime 2" and "White Night Chase" in the first half of the year.
But now, except for some preliminary preparations such as the script, the rest will have to wait until after the agreed June.
At that time, we have to find a new cooperation platform, which is estimated to delay a lot of work.
However, for the project itself, it can be said that there are gains and losses.
Unlike the previous works, "White Night Chase" is a real double male lead - the elder brother Guan Hongfeng and the younger brother Guan Hongyu.
The former is the former captain of the Criminal Investigation Detachment of Binhai District, Green Vine City, and the latter is a fugitive suspect in a family murder case.
In terms of setting, the two brothers are twins, which requires one actor to play two roles.
Or to be more precise, four roles.
In terms of character setting, Guan Hongfeng suffers from night fear and cannot go out at night, so the two brothers need to constantly exchange identities.
So there will be Guan Hongfeng, Guan Hongyu, Guan Hongfeng disguised as Guan Hongyu, and Guan Hongyu disguised as Guan Hongfeng.
This kind of role is still very difficult for actors. In addition to the requirements of acting skills, the image must also have the feeling of "both good and evil".
Ever since watching Pan Yueming's performances in "Detective Chinatown" and "The Lost Tomb", Meng Bai felt that he was quite suitable for this role.
If it were according to the original plan, it would probably conflict with the schedule of "The Lost Tomb".
But now there is no need to worry. When "White Night Chase" was established, it had already been filmed here.
...
With Liu Jun's entry, the management structure of Arclight Films has finally been perfected.
Meng Bai is the boss, responsible for the overall strategic planning and content of film and television projects. Liu
Jun is the general manager, responsible for the company's daily operations and management.
Chen Jing is the deputy general manager and financial officer, responsible for Arclight's finance and investment.
For Meng Bai, the best news is that he can finally get rid of those tedious daily work and have more time to go out and hang out, uh, go out and guide the crew to shoot.
Blue Island, Oriental Film Metropolis Film and Television Industrial Park.
The wide studio is now built with simple-looking walls. The scratches and dust on it look full of traces of time.
In the middle of the stone wall, there is a heavy wooden coffin, which looks even more weird.
In particular, next to the coffin, there is a tall "monster" with long red hair all over his body, a rotten armor, and a face full of white bones.
"The effect of the real thing is much better than I thought."
On one side of the studio, Meng Bai looked at the "Red Hound" sitting in the middle to rest and exclaimed.
"Indeed, the picture presented by real people plus special effects makeup will be more real and shocking." Li Muge on the side responded.
The most oppressive monster in the first part of "Ghost Blows Out the Light" is definitely the Red Hound.
As the first monster to officially appear in the entire series of stories, it almost killed Hu Bayi and Fatty in advance.
The crew's initial idea was to use models and post-production special effects to produce it.
This is a very mature way to shoot tall monsters, which has been around since "Jurassic Park" in the last century.
However, during the later discussions, Meng Bai expressed a different opinion.
He felt that since the overall style is "maximum real scene", the effect of using special effects here would be relatively poor.
So after discussing with the art, props and other departments, they chose real people, plus leather suits and makeup.
As for the actors, the taller the better.
The crew contacted former CBA player Sun Mingming, who was the one who beat Big Brother Cheng and Laohei in "Rush Hour 3".
This guy is 2.35 meters tall, and he can be ten centimeters taller with the character's helmet and boots.
Meng Bai is 1.84 meters tall, which is considered tall for ordinary people, but standing next to him, he instantly looks very small.
"How much of the Kwantung Army Fortress scene is left?" Meng Bai asked.
Li Muge estimated: "It should be finished next week, and then we will switch to the shed next door to shoot the ancient city and the snow mountain tomb."
"Is the shed next door also set up?"
"Yes, just move some props in."
"Okay." Meng Bai stood up, "I'll go over and take a look."
"I'll ask someone to take you there." Li Muge said, waving his hand, intending to call a staff member over.
Meng Bai stopped him: "No, you guys are busy, I can take a look around by myself." He
walked a few steps outside and looked up, just in time to see Bai Lu sitting in the rest area nearby.
Yes, I was just wondering why the crew felt a lot quieter today, it turned out that there was one less person.
But unlike every time I saw her cheerfully, this girl seemed to be in a bad mood today.
Sitting on a small stool, one hand resting on her chin, she looked up calmly, with a strange blank expression on her face.
Meng Bai followed her line of sight and looked up. On the ceiling of the studio, the bright headlights were emitting dazzling light.
So, is she thinking about her future?
Or maybe she was envious of those shining stars.
Sure enough, no matter how lively she is, she is still just a girl in her early twenties. There will always be times of confusion.
"Aqia!"
With a muffled sound, Bai Lu sneezed, then rubbed her nose and muttered with a relieved expression on her face: "Well, it feels good, I finally typed it out."
Turning back, she saw Meng Bai standing not far away. She quickly got up and ran over, grinning and said happily: "Hello, producer Meng, when did you come? Why didn't I see you?" "
..."
I actually worried about the psychological emotions of the funny girl, which was a pure waste of expression.
"Are you going to shoot later?"
"No, I won't be needed for these two scenes."
"I plan to take a look around, and I need a guide. Is it convenient?"
Bai Lu's eyes lit up: "Of course!"
After that, she happily ran to the front to lead the way.
While leading the way and introducing, I have to say that this girl is really popular. She can chat with the crew wherever she goes.
Meng Bai looked at the surrounding studios along the way. Because they were just built, all kinds of facilities and functional areas are very new.
The main style of Oriental Movie Metropolis at the beginning was various science fiction and fantasy visual effects blockbusters. It was a bit of a waste of talent to shoot "The Mysterious City" here. The one that
can really make perfect use of this place should actually be a big production like "The Wandering Earth".
I remember that the park said before that the entire project would be completed by the end of the year.
Calculating the progress, "The Wandering Earth" should be able to use it.
I don't know what China Film has considered?
Before, La Peikang officially decided to adopt their plan, but the final director and production team have not given a reply.
Obviously, China Film still has some concerns about Guo Fan, a young director who has only shot a youth film and a semi-finished soft science fiction.
But it is estimated that this project will eventually fall to Guo Fan.
If those big directors wanted to agree, they would have agreed long ago, so why wait for a year without any movement.
Meng Bai was distracted thinking about the movie, and Bai Lu on the side quietly looked at his expression, looking like she wanted to say something but stopped.
Her role is a temporary supporting role, with only a few scenes in the first few episodes.
This was her first serious film and television role. It felt like she had just joined the crew and it was almost over.
There was only one week left before the filming was finished. It was a rare occasion that Producer Meng came to the crew. Should she take the opportunity to talk about her own affairs?
But how should she say it? If she asked directly and was rejected immediately, then she would have no chance.
Or, she had to say it more tactfully, but what if Producer Meng didn't understand?
Thinking of this, she suddenly felt the back of her clothes being pulled.
When she came to her senses, she saw a pillar standing in front of her. If she hadn't been pulled back just now, she would have bumped into it by now.
