Chapter 396 Comrade Meng Bai is a "good brother-in-law"
Like "The Wandering Earth", "Assassination of Novelist" is also a special effects blockbuster, and Lu Yang uses the more difficult "on-site virtual shooting". Through motion capture, scene scanning, lens tracking, real-time matte rendering and other technologies, the effect of "combining virtual and real" is finally achieved.
For this reason, Lu Yang specially shot a more than 40-minute animation preview before the project was established, just like the hundreds of thousands of words of settings and thousands of screen design drafts prepared by Guo Fan and others.
If we only talk about the technical level, the difficulty of this movie is even higher than "The Wandering Earth". After all, domestic films have never used the means of "virtual shooting" before.
Fortunately, Lu Yang "invited" Xu Jian, the visual effects director of "The Wandering Earth", to continue working. With the experience of the past two years, at least he didn't have to start from scratch.
Meng Bai also discussed with Guo Fan and others and planned to invest in several special effects companies.
This thing is just like the country's major infrastructure projects. It doesn't make money or even lose money, but it is the foundation for supporting the development of higher industries. In the future, if they want to make more awesome visual effects blockbusters, they must have sufficient technical capabilities.
The only problem is that special effects companies are expensive, and Arclight alone cannot support them. So Meng Bai plans to wait until "The Wandering Earth" is released during the Spring Festival next year. If the performance is good, he will drag Guo Fan to fool more companies.
Like China Film, Guangguang, Perfect, or even game companies such as NetEase and Tencent. It is right for everyone to work together.
Back to the movie "Assassination of Novelist", in addition to technical difficulties, "virtual shooting" also has another difficulty in the actors. Because there is no real scene but only green screen on the scene, this will test the imagination and sense of belief of the actors.
"In addition, the role of 'Tu Ling' has a lot of action scenes, so you may need to join the group a month in advance and receive action training." Meng Bai looked at Li Qin: "It's very hard."
"It doesn't matter, as long as there is a need, any training is fine." Li Qin said without hesitation.
Although she said it, she was actually a little unsure in her heart. Although she has been in the industry for many years, the roles she plays are basically rich daughters, young princesses, etc., and most of her roles are literary dramas.
Even in "Psychological Crime: City of Lights", she played a policeman at most, and there was really no actual action scene.
The only thing that made her somewhat confident was that she had some training in posture and movements when she was learning Kunqu Opera. Although the intensity and strength are definitely not as good as dance, it is still considered to have some foundation.
Seeing Li Qin solemnly put away the script, Meng Bai picked up the second copy: "This is the project that Hu Guangming plans to shoot next year, the last part of the "Zijin Chen Trilogy", "The Long Night is Hard to See", and the name of the web drama version is "The Silent Truth." "
Speaking of this, Meng Bai was also a little helpless.
When filming "Bad Kids" before, because the superiors felt that this name was easy to cause some speculation, they had to change the name to "The Hidden Corner".
The same is true for "The Long Night Is Hard to See" this time. The original title of the book was to correspond to the final ending, in which the main reason for the villain's failure was the fall of the "umbrella" behind him, rather than "justice finally defeated darkness
". Therefore, the title "Long Night" and "Hard to See" is a metaphor. Obviously, this metaphor is not suitable for film and television adaptation. So when the project was reviewed, the name of the project was changed to "The Silent Truth", which was considered to be in line with "The Hidden Corner".
However, in this way, the name of "The Undocumented Crime" remained unchanged in the entire "trilogy", which seemed a bit "out of place".
The role given to Li Qin is called "Li Xue", a reporter of the legal column of a newspaper, and also the only eyewitness left in the case ten years ago, and is considered one of the heroines.
"Will the schedule of the movie and this drama not conflict?" Li Qin asked curiously.
"No, according to the plan, the movie will be finished by February or March next year, and our drama will be able to coordinate the schedule after that." Meng Bai introduced.
"That's good."
Li Qin nodded and looked at the last script. However, unlike the previous two, this script was unexpectedly thin. She glanced at the title of the play on the cover - "The Golden Years", which sounded familiar.
"This seems to be a novel written by Yi Shu, right?" Li Qin recalled her past memories, "I seem to have read it before, but I only read half of it. I just remember that it tells the story of two girls."
"Okay, Mr. Li, you are so knowledgeable."
Meng Bai teased, and he was greeted by Li Qin's arrogant snort.
"Strictly speaking, this is not a script, but a project book." Meng Bai said: "This play is still in the project establishment stage, but I think the role image of the heroine is quite suitable for you, so I'll tell you first."
The copyright of this play belongs to Tencent, and it was originally planned to be handed over to Xinli for filming. But the latter already has four projects in hand, "Celebrating Yu Nian", "Douluo Dalu", "Tianlong Babu" and "The Deer and the Cauldron", and the pressure is relatively high. It just happened that it had just invested in Tianqi Entertainment recently, so it was handed over to Meng Bai.
"The Golden Years" has two female protagonists, one of whom is "Jiang Nansun", a white, rich and beautiful woman who has lived a wealthy life since childhood. This kind of role is considered to be Li Qin's comfort zone, and she has played many similar roles before. In addition, the background of this drama is still in Shanghai, which is very suitable for her in all aspects.
This drama is still in preparation, and the actual start of filming may not be until the second half of next year, which will be staggered with "The Silent Truth".
A movie, a TV series, and a web drama directly arrange Li Qin's plans for next year.
"Huh, capitalist!"
Li Qin wrinkled her nose at Meng Bai: "Just after signing the contract, your true nature is exposed. Throughout the year, you don't even give me a rest time."
"What rest!" Meng Bai shouted: "Twenty-eight years old is the age of adventure, and hard work is what you have to do now. Come on, girl, results, box office, awards, and traffic are all waiting for you in front!"
"Haha, thank you for reminding me that I'm twenty-eight years old."
"Ah, this..."
Meng Bai coughed lightly. He was a little excited just now and accidentally stepped on the minefield.
Looking at the staff and legal affairs who were almost done with their work on the other side of the room, he approached Li Qin and whispered, "Teacher Li, are you interested in visiting my office?"
Li Qin glanced at him and said, "Sorry, a 28-year-old woman is not interested in an office."
Meng Bai laughed, "No way, are you so vindictive?"
"Haha, a 28-year-old woman is at the age of holding a grudge."
"..."
Meng Bai nodded: "Okay, since you don't want to go over, it's the same here, I'll let them go first."
"Wait a minute, don't!"
Li Qin was defeated in a second and hurried to stop Meng Bai, but found that he was looking at her with a smile on his face, and there was no posture to stand up.
"Rogue!"
She glared at Meng Bai with a red face, knowing what he was up to.
"Hehe, it's not the first day you know I'm a rogue." Meng Bai said: "And didn't you say last time that you like me to be a little more rogue."
"When did I say that?"
"Why not, you went on to say 'keep going, don't stop' and so on..."
"You, you've had enough!"
Li Qin hurriedly raised her hand to cover Meng Bai's mouth to prevent him from saying any more "tiger words".
At the same time, the blush on her cheeks spread to behind her ears.
This bastard, every time he does that, he "forces" herself to say some weird words. Over time, she got used to it, and now it pops up from time to time during exciting moments.
The result was that she was caught by this guy again. She
glared at Meng Bai fiercely, but it was a pity that this dead man was too thick-skinned to be attacked like this. Li Qin had no choice but to let go of her hand and stood up: "Let's go, be careful, don't let me find anything I shouldn't find in your office."
After saying that, she couldn't help laughing again.
Don't say it, Li Qin's words really made Meng Bai feel uneasy. Fortunately, he immediately realized that his office was cleaned by a cleaning lady every day, and Hua Yan checked it, so there would be no dog-blood situations such as missing hairpins and earrings.
He greeted the staff who were still busy with the contract over there, and said that he would "take Teacher Li to visit the company." As a worker, naturally, he would not care what his boss was going to do, and even when they were not there, he could relax a little.
The top floor of Arclight, Hua Yan's office.
As the exclusive assistant of the big boss and one of the veterans of Arclight Film and Television, Hua Yan also has a special office in the company, separated from Meng Bai's office by a room.
She had a document in front of her and was secretly doing something while her boss was away, when the internal phone on her desk suddenly rang.
Hua Yan was startled and hurriedly closed the webpage, then she realized it was just a phone call and there was no need to be so nervous.
"Boss, what's wrong?" There was no need to ask who it was, this call could only be made by one person.
"I have something to do here, if anyone comes to see me, just say I'm busy."
"Oh, okay, I got it."
Hua Yan put down the phone and was stunned for a moment, she seemed to have vaguely heard a woman's voice over there just now.
Oh, by the way, Sister Li Qin came here to sign the contract today, it should be her.
Contact Meng Bai just now and say not to disturb him. Hua Yan, who has been exposed to him for many years, naturally understands what her boss wants to do.
"Alas, these three-dimensional humans controlled by desire, pure and beautiful girls like me have been led astray."
Hua Yan picked up her customized paper idol pillow from the chair next to her and leaned on it beautifully: "My two-dimensional is still fresh and sticky."
——After
the contract was signed, Li Qin's team quickly issued a statement to fans in the name of the new studio, and also released the next work schedule.
[It's been ten years! Sister, you finally figured it out (crying) You should have left a long time ago, and you have been delayed for so long. ]
[So which big brother knows whether my sister is working alone now, or which company she has gone to? ]
[I found it on Tianyancha, "Qinmeng Film and Television Studio", the legal representative is herself, and she is also among the shareholders. Applause, finally I am my own boss! ]
[The above, you should check it carefully. Didn't you see that there are also Taiyang Chuanhe, Arc Light Film and Television and Meng Bai among the shareholders? They are the major shareholders. ]
[Fuck, so Qinqin won't be with that Meng Bai again? No, sister, let's not be in love, okay! 】
【Haha, these fans are really hilarious. They don't think that all the resources in your family are dropped from the sky, do they? You didn't say it before, but now you have a big-budget movie + two dramas just after signing
the contract. Do you call this love-brained? 】 【It's really ridiculous. The boss of the top company in the industry is actually looked down upon by some people. Do you really think your sister is a fairy? If it were another company, the fans of the career would be eager to find a great brother-in-law. 】
【It should be said that although this group of "90 flowers" have average development, they are much better than the "85 flowers" in finding a brother-in-law. 】
【Don't say it, my friend, this "85 flower" fan is about to cry 555】
【……】
Just like Meng Bai said, some labels will still be remembered even if they are clarified.
Although the press conference before Arc Light reversed the public opinion on the Internet, many people still have the impression of Meng Bai as a "scumbag".
In fact, everyone is not stupid. A big boss in the industry, young, rich, handsome, and in the entertainment industry full of beautiful women, no one would believe that this kind of person is Gao Chunai.
In fact, being able to keep changing girlfriends like Wanda's Wang Da Shao is considered a "clear stream" in the same class.
More importantly, Li Qin's statement to refute the rumor at the time was very ambiguous, and did not clarify the specific relationship. So except for a small number of core fans who deceived themselves and did not admit it, most fans also acquiesced.
Even some career fans are quite happy to see this, just like what the previous comments said, their brother-in-law is a big boss in the circle, it is better than finding an uncle who is more than ten years older or a newcomer who is nothing.
Of course, it would be better if this brother-in-law could not be fickle.
In general, Li Qin's fans are still very satisfied with her job change this time. Not only have the resources increased by a level visible to the naked eye, but she has also started to enter the most high-end film circle.
It is said that the entertainment industry praises the high and tramples on the low, but in fact, the fan circle is the most serious. As soon as the star's status is raised, the voices of fans in the fan circle also become louder.
Fans of Li Qin are overjoyed, but fans of another group are furious.
[What on earth is Jiaxing doing? Didn't they say that the film "Assassination of Novelist" was ours a few days ago? How come they suddenly changed the cast? ]
The fans of Yang Mi expressed their dissatisfaction. It has been rumored that the heroine of the film "Assassination of Novelist" was from their family. But after just a few days of not seeing it, the role has become someone else's.
[Could it be that they wanted to snatch it, so they released the news themselves? ]
[How could it be? The official Weibo of the film company directly @ Li Qin to express "welcome to join", what else can I say. ]
[Fuck, I know the reason. Looking at the posters released by the official crew before, Arc Light Films was listed in the producer column, and it was cut off. ]
[SB Jiaxing, it's really useless. Didn't you invest in it too, and let it be taken away like that? 】
【That's right, he is a company that makes web dramas, why did they just snatch it away? Is Jiaxing just sitting there doing nothing? 】
Yang Mi's fans have long been dissatisfied with Jiaxing Media. The company has been sucking blood in order to bring in newcomers, but when it comes to this need, it does nothing.
For Arclight Film and Television, many people outside the industry still have the impression that it is "the leading company in the field of online dramas". We know that it is a bit awesome, but we don't know how awesome it is.
Although Arclight has made a lot of moves during this period, it is mainly aimed at the industry. Unless ordinary fans and netizens pay attention to the trends in the film and television industry every day, they really don't know much.
Arclight is a film and television company, and so is Jiaxing. In this case, why should we be afraid of them?
This is the idea of many Yang Mi fans.
For a time, fans began to spontaneously attack from multiple sides for the "interests" of their own masters.
Some asked them to come out and do things under the official account of Jiaxing Media, and some went to fight with Li Qin's fans; some asked the crew of "Assassination of Novelist" to come out and explain why they changed people, and some ran to Arclight Film and Television and scolded them for "bullying others with power". There
was even a small group who went to Liu Kaiwei to scold him, saying that they were both "brother-in-law", so why couldn't you stand up.
However, what surprised these fans was that except for Li Qin's fans who immediately confronted them, the other parties were completely silent.
