Rebirth of the Great Heavenly King

Regarding Li Chencan's songs, everyone has different attitudes, but basically they are divided into two camps: support and doubt.

But judging from the current situation, most people have chosen to support Li Chencan.

Because Li Chencan's previous abilities in many aspects have been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, as long as you think about his previous film and television works and his transformation from a historical writer to the chief director of "Oldboy", this kind of support is logical.

Of course, opponents also have their own reasons.

"The heavy rain I missed in those years, the love I missed in those years...cough!"

Li Chencan accidentally choked on his saliva just now, so he had to start over.

The edited version of "Those Years" is basically coming out now. After being sent there for post-production, "Those Years We Chased Together" will officially become a movie and be sent to the Imperial Film Bureau for review and review.

If you pass the test, you can publish it.

At the same time, there are many things going on simultaneously.

For example, right now, Li Chencan is singing the theme song in this song.

"Those Years", this song is not a classic, and it will not be sung for decades, but this song and this movie match so well, it is a perfect match.

"Those Years" may become a song on its own, and it is just a song. It may occasionally touch people, but this touch will definitely not be big, but when this song is embedded in "Those Years We Chased Together"

Once inside, everything becomes different. Every lyric can be found in the corresponding scene in the movie. This kind of seamless matching is the most precious.

So Li Chencan copied the song "Those Years". Now he wants to turn it into a song he sings and put it in the whole movie. He has been recording the song in the recording studio these days.

He still has several songs to sing.

Songs such as "Those Years", "Meeting You in the Crowd", "Childlike", and "Lonely Caffeine" will all become songs in "Those Years", but it has to be said that these songs are not classics.

They are just paired with the songs, so in the end these songs will not appear in the classic album that Li Chencan plans to create.

"Goodbye", "Gardenia Blooms", and "Those Flowers" will also become the soundtrack of the movie, which is different from the original version. But in this life, since Li Chencan made the movie himself, and he sang those songs himself

Song. Of course it will also be used in the movie.

After recording for more than two hours, Li Chencan finally finished recording the song "Those Years". He thought that he would go home and take a rest later. This was not only a rest for himself. He also went back to see Yang Yifang... After all, he also

I can feel it. If they don't go home all the time, they will feel very uncomfortable.

In addition, it is also time to rest. During these days of editing, Li Chencan was also worried.

The shooting methods of "Those Years" were combined in many ways, so in some places they used digital camcorders with high-definition 4k resolution, but in other places they still used traditional film shooting.

After all, different scenes require different cameras. This is also common sense.

In this way, it takes a lot of hard work and effort to combine such different materials into a movie.

After all, it is already October, and a lot of things have to be done in advance. It is impossible for Li Chencan to spend several years to shoot a movie like other directors, and it will take a long time to release "Those Years" in the end.

It is best to find a good schedule for its release, and to release it as soon as possible... Li Chencan has so many things to spread out in his head, and he is even worried that his time in this life is too short...

Therefore, we are looking for a distribution company for the film, and the scheduling is also in progress at the same time.

"Sorry, Lao Wei, what we are proposing now is already the best plan. The competition is so fierce now, how can we easily free up the schedule!"

At this time, Micron Film Distribution Company, a former friend of Wei Ansheng, was now speaking very awkwardly to him.

Wei Ansheng's brows furrowed.

Since the filming of "Those Years" was officially completed, Wei Ansheng has been looking for cooperation in the distribution of "Those Years" at Li Chencan's request, and has also found some reliable companies to promote the film.

Nowadays, film production in the empire is generally divided into two types. The first type is of course that the film production company has a film plan and then looks for investment in the circle, or relies on the contacts in the circle to attract investment and sponsorship from outside the circle.

Filming. Of course, there are also some cases where the investors specify the shooting range and subject matter, and let the director play with it as if it were a composition.

The second type is movies produced by small groups. These movies may be made with a small group's own money, or they may have tried their best to get investment from grandpa or grandma, and then let the movie be released as much as possible, or seek to win awards and improve the movie.

Notability…

The second type of film is an independent film... "Those Years" belongs to the category of independent films. Compared with the first type of film, independent films have the advantages of small investment, relatively flexibility, and a lot of room for directors to use.

But their shortcomings are also obvious: the investment is small, so there is no scale, there is no backstage behind them, it is difficult to find distribution, many movies make people bankrupt, but they don’t get a penny in the end, and they will inevitably lose money in the competition with big companies.

Become cannon fodder...

Independent films are facing such a path, but there are still many people who plunge headlong into this path that seems to lead to darkness and never let go until their death.

There are many reasons. Some are because they have a dream in their hearts and are unwilling to give up. Some are dreaming of becoming famous in a movie. As long as the movie wins awards in some places, they can become famous. Some are dreaming of a dream of making a big difference with small things...

But among them, successful people are extremely rare, very few and far between.

Some people have won big awards with some unexpected low-budget movies, but more often they have splashed blood in this bottomless river.

As an independent film, Li Chencan's "Those Years" has huge inherent flaws that are difficult to make up for. That is the lack of sufficient backing, and there are various constraints in terms of publicity and release.

For such a movie, it is best to find a film distribution company to sell the copyright of the film, which transfers the risk of the film to the film distribution company. After all, buying out is a matter of ensuring income in times of drought or flood. Then, if the film company

If this movie is released, if the box office is good in the end, that's fine. This person also has certain qualifications. If the film company takes this movie and packages it for awards, it would be even better if it wins some awards.

After all, the winner is still the person who made the movie...

That's the best way for "Those Years" to be used purely as an independent film...

However, what Li Chencan wanted was for "Those Years" to be co-produced and distributed on a profit-sharing basis, rather than a buy-out guarantee. After all, he was very confident in the film and felt that there was no need for a guarantee of profit.

As a result, negotiations will become more difficult.

"Old Wei, to be honest, I'm a little surprised. Your career is promising now, so why did you suddenly go and get involved with Li Chencan?" A friend sitting opposite Wei Ansheng looked a little curious.

Said: "And now this kind of independent film wants to strive for better

There is basically no hope for schedule and release. It would be better if Li Chencan continues to make micro-movies. After all, micro-movies are prepared for people like him... But it is really not suitable to transfer to the current big movies.

He, his foundation here is too weak."

Wei Ansheng just smiled slightly: "I must have my own reasons... I also think he has a good chance of success... Well, just tell the truth, what are your conditions..."

"We can only provide a buyout." Wei Ansheng's friend said: "We will not consider the share for the time being... You know, we have a heavyweight film that will be released soon. At this time, we cannot cooperate with

He distracts himself by taking a cut."

Wei Ansheng nodded, a little disappointed in his heart, and his friend said: "But you can also consider buying it out... Then as long as the movie waits until next summer to be released, it should be able to get good box office revenue if it works well...

…”

"You know the bottom line, how high can you go?"

"Ten million! This is because of my relationship with you and the added value of Li Chencan's fame...otherwise we could have paid out at most five million for this film!" Wei Ansheng's friend said firmly.

When Wei Ansheng heard this, he immediately laughed bitterly, "Ten million...isn't this nonsense!"

After the post-production of "Those Years", including some of the advance publicity investment, the cost of the film has soared to 20 million. If it were sold for 10 million, Li Chencan would lose 10 million, not to mention, he

Originally, I wanted to share the profits, so there was no way to negotiate with Micron.

"It's not that the price we offered is low." Wei Ansheng's friend said: "You also know the market. The only blame is that he made the movie too well and raised the cost too high. This price is our limit.

, you should think about it carefully."

"Don't think about it...he won't accept this result." Wei Ansheng shook his head and smiled bitterly: "I wouldn't accept it if it were me."

"Then... I can only wish you good luck!" Wei Ansheng's friend said.

Wei Ansheng nodded. In fact, Micron is not the first film distribution company like this. He has been running into obstacles these days. It's not that they don't like this film at all, but that they don't have much patience. (Unfinished)
