Chapter 864 Yang Ba Pi is online again!
"What? You wrote a script and want to schedule it for Valentine's Day next year?" Yang Hongxia was a little confused.
Zhou Yue, who was sitting opposite him, also gave him a surprised look: Is Lin Fan crazy? The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and the Valentine's Day schedule is not long away. How can he finish shooting a movie in such a short time? Not to mention finishing a movie, even the early preparations may not have enough time. Not to mention the post-production work such as editing and dubbing.
"It's okay, it's a very simple script and very easy to film." Lin Fan said, "As for the early preparations, I'll leave it to Director Liang. He should be free right now, right?"
Liang Wen, who was not idle at all, was called back from the newly established animation studio by Yang Hongxia. As soon as he opened the door, he expressed his dissatisfaction: "Boss Yang, what's the matter that you called me back so urgently? The animation studio has been busy recently. On the one hand, we are busy drawing the subsequent plots for Lin Fan's "Journey to the West", and on the other hand, we are busy modeling various characters according to the script... Forget it, Boss Yang, you just need to know that we are very busy now, very busy, and very busy."
To sum it up in one sentence, don't come to me no matter what you have to do.
Yang Hongxia really didn’t understand these specific tasks, nor did she need to understand them. She just had to manage every penny she spent.
But Liang Wen had already said it, so Yang Hongxia couldn't just ignore it. She still had to ask: "Is it going smoothly? Are there any difficulties? Are there any problems that need my help?"
Liang Wen thought about it and really had an idea: "Boss Yang, when can you catch Director Lin back?"
Catch him back to work, finish all the original paintings for me! He has been idle for so long, Lin Fan should have had enough of it, right? Catch him back now to work, no, to make money!
Lin Fan shouldn't be too resistant.
Even if Lin Fan was very resistant, it was Yang Hongxia who took the lead, and Liang Wen was not worried at all that Lin Fan would vent his anger on him.
Yang Hongxia was happy: "Your Director Lin doesn't need me to catch him, he will come back on his own."
Liang Wen was immediately surprised: "Really?"
"Really." Yang Hongxia smiled, "Lin Fan contacted me and said that he had written a script. If the filming goes well, it will be released on Valentine's Day next year, so I'll have to trouble you, Director Liang, with the preparatory work in the early stages.
By the way, I just printed out the script, how about we take a look at it together?"
Liang Wen: I have a sentence in my mind that I don't know whether I should say it or not! I asked you to bring Lin Fan back so that you could work for me, but you two colluded to give me more work!
I was so angry! I was angry, but I still had to read the script: "Then let's take a look?"
“Let’s watch it together!”
Zhou Yue, who had been silent at the side, also expressed his interest in the script. Otherwise, with Zhou Yue's personality, if he was not interested, he would have gone back to his recording studio long ago. Why would he stay here and refuse to leave?
Isn't it just to see Lin Fan's new script as soon as possible? The script Lin Fan sent back this time was not long. Yang Hongxia printed three copies, each holding one, and they sat in the office and began to watch silently.
Yang Hongxia was calculating as she watched the film, how much money would be needed to invest in this film; Liang Wen, on the other hand, started from the first line of words and made a table in his mind, calculating what equipment was needed here, what scene was needed there... and so on. In short, he got into the state very quickly.
Zhou Yue was the only one who simply wanted to see what good story Lin Fan would come up with this time. It would be even better if it could be as good as "Journey to the West" and become a classic that would be passed down from generation to generation.
Zhou Yue likes the story of Journey to the West so much that the first thing he does every day when he goes to work is to call Liang Wen and ask if the subsequent plot has been drawn. If not, he will ask again tomorrow.
If there is, Zhou Yue will rush over directly to have a first-hand look at it.
After the subsequent plot was released online, Zhou Yue had to watch it over and over again to savor every detail. Then, in order to be able to exchange his thoughts with the comic fans in the comment section, he even purchased a lifetime VIP membership on Penguin Comics, the highest level.
Unfortunately, the update of "Journey to the West" is too slow. If Zhou Yue could contact Lin Fan, he would have wanted to strangle Lin Fan's neck and make him spit out all the plot in his stomach in one breath.
Now Lin Fan has taken the initiative to say that he wants to come back to make a movie. He first sent back the script and then released such a good piano piece. With all these things going on, how could Zhou Yue not be interested in this movie?
What if Lin Fan's piano piece is actually the theme song of this movie? It's not like Lin Fan hasn't written a concerto for a movie before.
Zhou Yue is still very much looking forward to it.
But the result made Zhou Yue a little disappointed. It seemed that this song had no necessary connection with the movie.
"This script is so simple." Yang Hongxia calculated the cost in her mind and was a little disappointed. "It seems that the investment this time will not be very high."
It's not just not high, it's extremely low.
Even an outsider like Zhou Yue could see that the entire movie, whether it was the scenes, costumes, props... or transportation, food and lodging... all cost very little money.
After reading the entire script, if Zhou Yue was not mistaken, there was probably only one major expense, and that was the pay for the male and female protagonists.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
But this problem is not a problem here at all.
Rather than taking film remuneration, Lin Fan and Xia Yan prefer to use their film remuneration as capital and then take a share of the box office profits.
To sum it up in one sentence, there is no place to spend money even if you want to.
Zhou Yue suddenly understood Lin Fan's pain over the past two years. He had been making money like crazy, but he didn't even have a chance to spend it. This kind of torture was really not something that ordinary people could endure.
"What do you think, Director Liang?" Yang Hongxia saw that Liang Wen had been silent, and thought that he had some opinions about the script, so she couldn't help but ask, "Do you think there is anything wrong with the script?"
Unexpectedly, Liang Wen suddenly slapped his palm heavily on the not-so-thick script with a "smack" sound, and his eyes burst into amazing brightness: "Boss Yang! Leave the pre-production work of this movie to me. I promise to prepare everything properly before Director Lin comes back!"
Liang Wen's sudden enthusiasm made Yang Hongxia a little scared: "Director Liang, are you okay? Do you have too much work? If the animation film is too busy..."
"No! Not busy at all! No, I'm very busy, but I can handle it." Liang Wen was afraid that Yang Hongxia would be too considerate and would not let him take on this project, so he simply hugged the script in his arms and said, "Anyway, Mr. Yang, leave it to me."
"Okay..." Liang Wen was so enthusiastic, what else could Yang Hongxia say?
So, after being idle for such a long time, the Earthling Studio suddenly received a notice to hold a meeting.
When everyone heard the word "meeting", they were shocked: It's over, Yang Bapi is online again! (End of this chapter)
