208 renamed "Shawshank"

That morning, Chen Feidan spent more than an hour answering the phone. As soon as he connected fourteen or five phone calls, he was a little dry and drank three large cups of water.

After making the last call, Chen Fei put his phone on the table, then sat down weakly, leaned back on the chair, looking like he was desperate.

bother!

Very annoying!

In his eyes, in the slight expression on his face, and in the feeling that his whole body gives people, all these two words: trouble.

Looking for investment is indeed the director’s biggest trouble and the most trouble.

As the director of "Shawshank", Chen Fei decided to change his movie name to "Shawshank" instead of "Shawshank Redemption". This is why he absorbed the box office failure of his previous work. The words "Shawshank Redemption" are too difficult to read, especially when written in English, which is difficult to remember and difficult to spread, but the name "Shawshank" is much better. It is simple, catchy, easy to spread, and easy to remember - as the director of "Shawshank", money naturally caused him a headache, but other people's headaches are different from him. Others cannot find investments and have no money. But he is because there are too many people who want to invest in this movie, too much money, and don't know how to choose, which one to use, which one to use, which investor to use, how much money, etc., etc. These problems have caused him a headache.

Don’t underestimate these things. If you accidentally offend someone, you may offend someone. Which one should I give? What kind of cake will be given? This is not easy. If the Xiaoxiaoshank response is mediocre after the release of the Xiaoxiaoshank? That’s fine? But the question is, is the movie "Shawshank" to be included in the history of the American Federation of America's film? It is one of the best masterpieces and will definitely cause a huge sensation?

And under Chen Fei's operation, the box office will definitely be a big hit. Whether it is subjective or objective reasons, the conditions for box office are met at this time, so Chen Fei is so confident. So, what Chen Fei is worried about is that once the box office of "Shawshank" is a big hit? Many investors will have conflicts with him because of the issue of sharing the cake? It will affect the subsequent cooperation, so this problem has a headache for him.

well--

He raised his head slightly and looked at the sky forty-five degrees.                                                                                                                       

Next to him? Shang Hong, who was sitting aside with a smile on his face, cursed in his heart. His hands were itchy? A strong impulse surged in his heart. He wanted to raise his hand and slapped Chen Fei.

Why did he just want to beat Chen Fei so much?

The gap between people is really bigger than that of people and pigs. When he made a movie, his father and mother went together, and he begged his grandfather and grandma himself, but in the end, he still barely got a little investment. There was a movie that was so bad that he had to sell a house. However, Chen Fei... did nothing, and he could only say that he could invest tens of millions of dollars, but he was worried that he had no money, but Chen Fei was worried that he had too much money...

The more he thought about it, the more he felt uncomfortable. The more he looked at Chen Fei's distressed expression, the more he felt that this guy was pretending to be a pussy in front of him, so he really wanted to give him a big mouth!

Of course, he didn't dare.

That thought just flashed in his heart, just like a man who saw a beauty would rush over and hug her and kissed her. When a beauty saw a handsome guy, she couldn't help but want to rush over and press him on the bed. They all belonged to the original impulsive instinct, but they did not conform to reason, nor did they conform to the moral norms, nor to the behavioral code of the parties involved. Therefore, these thoughts would bubbling and be strangled to death and disappear soon.

Shang Hong let out a light sigh, quickly adjusted his unbalanced mood, and then smiled and suggested: "Brother Fei, this is what I think. The main investment in the movie "Shawshank" should be done by you. The one with more investments has the right to speak. The same is true for the American League. If the investment is the big one, your movie will be disturbed by many factors, and it will be difficult to shoot, so the main investment is you.

However, you only need to have control. The rest can be divided into some of the rest to others. The first is risk sharing, and the second is to take the opportunity to establish a good relationship with other investors. When the next movie is being prepared for filming, there will be a lot of convenience.

Brother Fei, I don’t know your relationship network very well, nor do I know the status of those people in your heart just now. However, based on my years of experience in working in the United Nations League and the news I heard from, I think there are three people who must give a certain amount. The first one is Shangdun, so he doesn’t need to mention him. The second one is the Chinese investor. His film investment company is not very famous in the United Nations film circle, but he is very famous in the Chinese circle. If he has a good relationship with him, he will have many benefits in the future. Another one is Raul, who is a famous film investor in the United Nations. The movies he invests in are generally sold well, and this matter itself is an advertisement.

These three people must be held back, but there are two people who don’t have to pay attention to them. One is Bushell, who is a bad person, and his money comes from the wrong way, so it’s better not to have any contact with him. The second is Philips, who is also a notorious investor in the film industry. Everyone says that as long as it is a movie he invests in, the box office will be bad."

Shang Hong analyzed it one by one, saying everything he knew, heard, understood.

To be honest, Chen Fei really didn't know many things. After hearing his words, his chaotic thinking suddenly became clear. He knew what to do, which investors could collect money and how much they could collect, and he had a clear idea.

The money matters will be settled soon.

Next is the matter of setting up the crew.

"Shang Hong, I'll leave it to you about the construction of the crew. I only have two requirements. First, the photographer must find the best one, not the best one, but also the best one. Second, if there are suitable Chinese, it's best to find Chinese. It's not easy for everyone to go out. If you can help each other, you can help each other. But not everyone wants it. I still have a lot of requirements. First, you have to be obedient. Whatever I say is, don't be stubborn. The other is to have good character. Don't bring those scums into the crew."

"Brother Fei, please rest assured. I will do it strictly according to your requirements and will never disappoint you." Shang Hong hurriedly promised.

Chen Fei nodded.

As for the salary issue, he did not say that because the United Nations is different from the country, they are not going to contact the other party directly, but first they need to find the corresponding organization and contact individuals through the organization. Everyone's salary and benefits are negotiated with Chen Fei's crew, and a mature system has been formed, which kind of talent is paid, how to pay, etc., and others have rules and regulations, as long as they do it, it is not as troublesome as in China, and they need to talk to each other one by one.

After talking about the crew's preparation work, Chen Fei asked Shang Hong again: "Most of this movie is filmed in prison. Do you have any good ideas about this prison?"

"Brother Fei, that's how I think." Shang Hong couldn't wait to say it immediately.

He said with a spitting spit, "I asked about it last night. Last month, a drama happened to form a prison scene. Now their scene has just been filmed, and everything should still be there. If we contact them and pay them a certain fee, they will be happy to rent the venue to us."

"Really?" Chen Fei was overjoyed when he heard this.

If you can rent it, it is of course the best. It can not only save a lot of money, but also save a lot of time. No matter which cost it is, it can be greatly reduced.

As an investor in "Shawshank", he naturally hopes to save one point. If he can do nothing, it is naturally the best. This is the basic professional quality of an investor.

"Then you should contact them quickly and see if you can rent it?" Chen Fei said hurriedly.

"Okay, I'll contact them now."

Shang Hong quickly took out his cell phone and called in front of Chen Fei.

The luck was very good, and the other party quickly answered the phone. When they heard that Chen Fei wanted to rent the prison, they agreed without thinking, and the asking price was very low. They also said that if Chen Fei and the others had time, it would be better to go over and take a look now. If there is something inappropriate, they can change it now, because their workers are still on site.

After the agreement, the other party hung up the phone, but Shang Hong was still stunned. He would not move for a while. After six seconds, he blinked and put down the phone.

Why did they agree so easily, and the price is so low? The locals have always been not so friendly to Chinese people, but when it comes to Chen Fei, why is it all not applicable?

It's so weird!

He was very puzzled, but he didn't ask too much, just said, "Brother Fei, then let's go over and take a look now?"

"Okay!" Chen Fei nodded.

The two of them cleaned up, then left the hotel together and headed straight to the set.

After driving for thirty minutes, they arrived on the set.

Sure enough, I saw a prison rising from afar. It was quite large in scale and was built like a real one. It was also very well handled in many details. For example, the barbed wire on the high wall was not a real snake-bellied barbed wire with no real blades on it, but it looked exactly the same as the real one. For example, the walls of the prison looked like those prisons that had been in service for many years. They were a little old and had some mottled traces on it, but they were not too old.

Chen Fei took a look from afar and felt very satisfied. Most of his films were filmed here.

After the two people parked the car, a group of people came up. The leader was a big fat man. He was really a big fat man. He was not very tall, but his weight was very considerable, especially his belly, which almost made him unable to see his shoes.

That guy is a director. He is quite famous in the United Nations League and belongs to the first-class director, but he is not yet top-notch or well-known.

This person is called Ai Qisheng.

Chen Fei had never seen him, but the other party knew Chen Fei very well. When he saw Chen Fei, he opened his arms from afar, and walked over with a smile: "Hi, Chen, I am really happy to see you. You may not know how popular you are among our friends now!"

"Hello, Ai Qisheng!"

Chen Fei hugged him.

"Chan, are you really planning to film "Shawshank" by yourself?" After a few greetings, Ai Qisheng couldn't help asking.

"Yes, I want to be a director myself, but unfortunately I have an oriental face. Otherwise, I would still plan to be the starring actor myself and direct and act myself!" Chen Fei said confidently without any fright.

When communicating with Westerners, you must dare to speak, dare to brag, not show your timidity, and not be humble and low-key.

"This is a pity, but Chen, I think you can shoot an Asian version of Shawshank in the future!" Ai Qisheng said with a smile.

"Your idea is great, but I prefer to constantly challenge myself and innovate. Just like you, I remember your first movie was a youth idol drama, and the movie was a big hit at the box office, but your second movie did not continue to shoot the same theme. You turned to the field of science fiction and still achieved good results. Just when everyone thought you would definitely make a sci-fi movie, you suddenly started a crime action movie. I think I can definitely be like you."

Chen Fei praised him without hesitation.

Although these words are suspected of flattery, most of them are to be honest, but they are just a little exaggerated.

Chen Fei didn't know Ai Qisheng before. On the way he came, he asked Shang Hong to tell him, and he also checked some information himself. At this moment, he quickly made the other party's temperament clear. So when he heard this, the other party became more and more happy, and his face was full of unshaven smiles.

After hearing this, Ai Qisheng laughed and said, "Chen, you are really an amazing person. Your words just now make me appreciate you more and more, and I feel more confident in you. Chen, I believe that your movie "Shawshank Redemption" will definitely be a big hit and achieve a double harvest of box office and reputation!"

"Correction, my movie is not called "Shawshank Redemption", but another name."

"Another name?" Ai Qisheng was stunned.

"Yes, it's called Shawshank." Chen Fei replied.

"Shawshank? Shawshank? Shawshank? Shawshank? Shawshank?" Ai Qisheng murmured to himself, constantly pronounced these two names. Not long after, he exclaimed "oh-my-god!", his eyes were as big as a bull's eyes, and he looked at Chen Fei with disbelief.

After a while, he shook his head and said with emotion: "Chen, you are such a genius! You are really a movie genius! No wonder everyone is so optimistic about you, you are really amazing! Shawshank, Shawshank's redemption, a simple change, can increase the box office of the movie countless times. Great! Great!"

It was Chen Fei's turn to be surprised.

He really didn't expect that this fat man could think of the idea at once. This guy seems to be a talent!

He couldn't help but ask curiously: "Ai Qisheng, do you seem to be very proficient in communication studies?"

"It's not easy to be proficient, but my father is a professor of communications, so he has some understanding of this. Otherwise, I wouldn't have made such a mistake." Ai Qisheng replied with a smile, paused, and said, "Chan, thank you!"

Thank me?

Chen Fei was stunned.

Ai Qisheng said seriously: "Chan, it was your words that inspired me. I just discovered that the name of my new movie also made the same mistake. Although the name of my new movie is very special, it is not conducive to dissemination. If I don't change the name, my movie may lose tens of millions of box office. But now, I will not let the same mistakes appear again, just like you changed "Shawshank Redemption" to "Shawshank". So, Chen, thank you, thank you for using your example to inspire me and change the fate of me and my movies!"

Ai Qisheng praised Chen Fei for a lot of praise, making Chen Fei feel a little embarrassed. He is not that good. He just said it casually. He just hoped to promote the movie at this time, but he didn't know...

But he wouldn't deny it. On the contrary, he pretended to be like this I meant. You finally realized that you didn't waste my efforts in vain. Seeing his appearance, Ai Qisheng looked at him more and more.

"Chen, I won't charge you for this prison anymore, you can use it casually!" Ai Qisheng was in a good mood. With a wave of his hand, he stopped collecting Chen Fei's rent.

No more money?

Monk Chen Fei and Shang Hong looked at each other, and both of them were secretly excited.

While talking about a few people, they walked into the prison.

Ai Qisheng pointed to a place and said, "Chen, look, I built the slide rail there, you may be able to use it."

Chen Fei looked in the direction Ai Qisheng pointed, then he nodded, but after a while he said, "I still want to set up a track here..."

Before Chen Fei could finish his words, Ai Qisheng glared his eyes again and looked at Chen Fei in surprise: "Chen, do you mean two cameras shooting together?"

He stayed blankly for three or four seconds, and before Chen Fei could speak, he started to speak to himself: "I understand, I understand, two cameras shoot together, one shot down and the other shot up, and put the two images together during editing, so that you can form a unique effect, and the angle of your camera at a high position is very clever...

Chen, you are so amazing. I only now know that you are not only an excellent director, but also a great photographer. Chen, thank you for letting me learn a special shooting technique. Thank you very much, thank you very much! If I had known this shooting technique before, my movies might have sold better."

Chen Fei, who was standing aside, was stunned.

Did he say something?

He just wanted to say that he wanted to set up a track there, so he wanted to ask Ai Qisheng how safe the facilities built were and whether they would collapse. But why did Ai Qisheng figure out so many things by himself?

Uh, OK?

It seems that he has become someone else's life mentor inadvertently!
Chapter completed!
