Chapter 963: Convinced(2/2)

This is the level of leadership.

The so-called domineering spirit in the legend is nothing more than this.

Even Chiang Kai-shek once played such a game with mahjong tiles.

So the hesitation I once had is no longer hesitant, and the confusion I was once no longer confused.

Chen Peisi felt like he was under a cloudless blue sky, feeling the warmth of spring with flowers blooming and the sun shining brightly.

Where in the world can you find such good investors?

If this is not a noble person, who can be called a noble person!

If we say that through the previous cooperation in "Father and Son", Chen Peisi already had a good impression of Ning Weimin.

So when Ning Weimin said these words today, Chen Peisi regarded him as a confidant like Bole.

He even thought that he would be willing to continue to cooperate with Ning Weimin if possible in the future.

But that's not all yet.

Ning Weimin then took out a video tape he brought back from Japan and some photos as gifts to Chen Peisi, which gave him an unexpected surprise.

To be honest, this is no ordinary video tape and photo.

That videotape is internal information of Shochiku Pictures.

This is the behind-the-scenes footage and interior production process of "The Story of Torajiro" that Ning Weimin asked Matsumoto Keiko to obtain.

There is no doubt that this videotape has very important guiding significance for Chen Peisi to better shoot movies and solve technical problems.

The photo was taken by Ning Weimin himself when he went to Katsushika Ward in eastern Tokyo, the hometown of the character Torajiro in the play, and Shibamata Old Street near Edogawa, and took the street scene himself.

It can be said to be more important than that videotape.

Because it was Ning Weimin who provided good evidence for Chen Peisi to analyze the economic value and social effects of his films.

Yes, on the surface, it seems that Chen Peisi's Chen's comedy will not produce any actual economic benefits when it is filmed, and it is likely that the more it is filmed, the more it will lose money.

Moreover, from an artistic point of view, the style is not high, and it is a product that caters to the entertainment needs of the common people.

But if we look at it from another angle and consider the tourism industry and boosting the local economy, it will be different.

Ning Weimin told Chen Peisi what he had seen with his own eyes.

It is said that Chaimata Old Street has never lacked tourists because of the "The Story of Torajiro" movie series.

On that street, not to mention the business of Teishuten Shrine and Torajiro's family's old Takagiya shop, other shops that didn't appear in the movie were also booming.

They can definitely follow suit and take full advantage of the film series.

As long as the movies are made well enough and they accumulate fame one after another, they can drive consumption in a region for a long time.

Not to mention that the local government will definitely provide strong support, even their investment in making movies can be slowly recovered through curves to save the country.

For example, when there are no filming tasks at the filming location, you can sell tickets for tourists to visit.

Then sell some costumes and props of the characters in the play, and you can buy peripherals.

Maybe I can earn more than actually making a movie and sharing the box office.

This is not a dream, there are very real examples in China like Japan.

In 1980, Guo Kaimin and Zhang Yu's "Lushan Love" popularized Lushan tourism.

From now on, the two actors will go to Lushan again, and the local government will support them as if they are ancestors.

If nothing else, the dividends created by the movie are too great.

That is equivalent to planting a money tree in Lushan that can generate money for a long time.

Therefore, Ning Weimin thinks that it is actually a good thing that Chen Peisi did not rush to buy the yard.

This must be based on long-term interests. The shooting location cannot be too random and must be properly planned.

At present, he thinks it is most suitable to buy a yard near Qianmen or Chongwenmen.

Not only Pierre Cardon and its main interests are invested in this area, but the biggest dividends will be gained from using the film for advertising.

Moreover, Pierre Cardon and he personally are able to talk to various government departments in Chongwen District.

From the district government to the sub-district office, he has people there. This is a well-deserved home base.

Here, it is much easier to build a tourism project and sell tickets.

Otherwise, if the shooting location is purchased in another area, it will be troublesome...

Needless to say, after listening to Ning Weimin’s business experience with dumbfounded eyes, Chen Peisi was really convinced!

If he had just appreciated Ning Weimin's generosity and loyalty, he was simply moved to regard Ning Weimin as a friend worth making.

Now, he fully felt Ning Weimin's extraordinary insight, ability, courage, and reliability. He was impressed from the bottom of his heart and was willing to become Ning Weimin's support.

Look at this person’s mind! The gap between people is really not that big!

Chen Peisi finally understands.

Why did the crew of "Journey to the West", which was so poor that it almost stopped filming, suddenly become rich with the help of Ning Weimin!

Just because some people may be born with geniuses in a certain field!

In this way, the next thing will be easier to handle.

Ning Weimin and Chen Peisi had a good time drinking and chatting, and successfully reached a more stable alliance.

We also discussed new ways of cooperation and division of interests between each other.

Chen Peisi’s film copyright and related rights and interests are equal and shared by both parties.

Ning Weimin spent money to buy the filming location, as well as the income from related tourism operations, Chen Peisi 3, Ning Weimin 7.

At this point, the two of them have truly become comrades from ideals to interests, and have become a rope.

"Now that it's finalized, please give us your opinion on our new play. In your mind, who do you think should play these roles?"

"Didn't I tell you everything? I don't understand filming. You can just decide. I only have one request. I can leave the roles of Erzi sister and Sanya to Zhang Qiang..."

"Oh, don't be polite. Just say what you say. I think your ideas are more surprising and may give me better inspiration. Don't you want to make the movie more effective? As for Zhang Qiang, then

The little girl is acting in her true colors, and of course this role belongs to her. If she doesn’t act, I will have a headache..."

Look, the interesting thing is still here.

Although Ning Weimin has long said that he will not interfere in the creation, and Chen Peisi is also very principled when he is most bothered by others' interference when filming.

But just because he had a deep understanding and trust with each other, Chen Peisi knew that Ning Weimin was not a mediocre person and would not talk nonsense. Instead, he paid special attention to the other party's opinions.

So Ning Weimin couldn't do it without saying anything. He thought about it and said it.

"Actually, all I can think of is that like "The Story of Torajiro", the important characters that have formed the story for a long time should not be changed as much as possible. Like Futoko's family, his brothers, Ma Gan and Junzi, it is best to be fixed all the time, so as to give the audience

A constant sense of immersion and intimacy. However, it is different for characters that only appear once in each movie. Especially for female characters, it is best to use the most popular stars at the moment. In your movie, Erzi fell in love with his buddy.

Haizi's sister, who also has no education, went to grill mutton skewers with them. And this Haizi also has a crush on an artistic young woman, but she dare not confess her love because of her status as a self-employed person. These two female characters are very important. You should

Find a female star who is currently popular, or preferably one who has just become famous, to play the role. This will definitely arouse the audience's interest. Especially after you have filmed a few episodes and look back, the benefits will show themselves. Let's not say it is a collection of beauties.

It can also reflect part of the history of the domestic film and television industry, so what’s wrong with it?”

"Hey, when you say that, I have an idea. You can find Cheng Fangyuan and give it a try. She made a big splash in this year's Spring Festival Gala. It is also in line with the temperament of a literary young woman. Sister Haizi is more difficult..."

"It's okay, take your time and choose. In fact, I think Lin Fangbing from Beijing Film Studio is also pretty good. The movie "An Actress's Dream" starring in her is now being released. It seems to be doing well at the box office. It is very likely to become an instant hit. The key is

She is very beautiful and can act."

"Okay, then I'll look back and compare things later."

"Hey, if you don't mind, let me ask, do you have an idea for the role of Haizi? Who do you want to play?"

"Well, I'm currently considering Liu Xinyi and Zhang Tielin. Unfortunately, one is a bit too rash and the other is too polite."

"If you want to put it that way, I actually think Chen Baoguo, who played Liu Sijia in "Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue and Purple," is pretty good, like Haizi. Why don't you think about it and find an opportunity for him to try acting?"

In this way, the two of them chatted more and more enthusiastically, and the more they talked, the more speculative they became.

Although Ning Weimin was unwilling to interfere too much, he was also unwilling to take advantage of the owner who held a foreign passport and was filming the movie "British Flowers" in the Republic.
