Han Lan really didn't expect that she casually mentioned that Xia Ningxuan should try another style before. Originally she just wanted her to help the boy band "Xia" write a new national style song, but she didn't know how she thought about it on her own.

After finishing Chinese-style songs, I started to try other styles again.

During this period of time, I locked myself at home and actually started playing jazz.

Fortunately, after Han Lan traveled back in time, she had a taste for dancing when she was a trainee, otherwise she would really have been outclassed by her.

Having such a talented partner puts a lot of pressure on him.

After struggling with Xia Ningxuan for a long time last night, Han Lan showed off everything he knew. In fact, it was just a few moves. After all, he really didn't know MJ's dance before. He just taught himself a few iconic moves.

I'm just trying to be cool. The night talk with Xia Ningxuan was mainly about some philosophical things, and I hope it can inspire her in her creation.

Han Lan returned to the company this time mainly for two things.

One was that "Angela" was released, and the box office results at home and abroad were also released. He went over to check on the situation and commend other team members.

Compared with other previous films of Tomahawk Entertainment, the release cycle of "Angel Angela" is obviously shorter. Maybe it is because of the artistic film or the overly romantic style. The domestic box office performance is indeed not as good as other films of Tomahawk Entertainment.

Movies. Many people will never buy a ticket to watch a movie if they hear it is a literary film.

But even so, "Angela" still achieved a domestic box office of 2 billion, without losing money and even made a lot of money.

The overseas box office revenue was 173 million U.S. dollars, and the total global box office from both sides was more than 3 billion U.S. dollars, which is quite impressive.

And the reputation is also very good, which is quite consistent with the results of high-quality literary and artistic films.

The second thing is about "A Chinese Ghost Story" that Wang Shenzhi is filming. He and Han Lan have made an appointment to return to the company today and want to talk to Han Lan about this film again. In other words, the company gave

instructions.

After finishing dealing with "Angel Angela", Han Lan took a while to catch up on his sleep in the office, and Wang Shenzhi came over with the core members of the team. They also brought over the rough cut of "A Chinese Ghost Story".

For this film, since Han Lan gave them a direction last time and asked them to rewrite the script, and after reviewing it again and finding that there were no problems, they were left to work on their own.

After all, Han Lan has to film "Zhu Xian 1" and doesn't have the time to go to Licheng all day long to keep an eye on them.

And he doesn’t understand puppet show either.

Although he is a time traveler, time travelers are not omnipotent.

At present, apart from being handsome and popular with women, he has not received any rebirth gift package at all.

The filming progress of "A Chinese Ghost Story" is even slower than that of "Zhu Xian 1". The filming started before the filming of "Zhu Xian 1" started. As a result, the filming here is now completed, and the filming progress over there is just over halfway.

But there's nothing we can do about it. Although "Zhu Xian 1" used a large number of student actors, at least they were all professional; and "A Chinese Ghost Story" used puppets, and they all needed to be redesigned and customized.

Additional production time has to be taken into account. Sometimes a character even needs to customize several puppets in order to get the best effect.

Fortunately, the plot of the movie mainly takes place in the mountains, where there are few people. Otherwise, if it were in a human urban area, just the extras would be a chore to them.

However, the layout of various micro scenes also consumed a lot of their manpower, material resources, energy and time.

Then there is the shooting. There is a difference between shooting puppets and shooting real people. The shooting techniques are actually different and cannot be copied. They are actually trying to cross the river all the way, so the number of reshoots is naturally much more than normal shooting.

Not only Han Lan, but Han Yiping "heard the news" and ran over to watch the show with him out of curiosity, along with several other senior executives from the company.

After all, Tomahawk Entertainment’s investment of 200 million has now been allocated 80 million, so it has to be heard, right?

Moreover, they are also very curious about what the film will look like if it is a puppet show.

Looking at the conference room full of "leaders", Wang Shenzhi had seen the big scene with Zhao Chengwen after all. He took a deep breath and played a few clips he had brought over.

It's very rough, very rough, so rough that everyone in the conference room frowned at first sight.

Wang Shenzhi glanced at their expressions and didn't explain. He sat aside silently and waited for the video to finish.

At that time, whether this project will live or die depends on the opinions of these people in the audience.

Han Lan's brows straightened out quickly. In fact, the filming was much better than he imagined, at least much better than the Pili drama in his memory.

Of course, the premise is the effect after the film is completed.

It’s impossible to watch this film now. There are no special effects and the voice actors are not in place. The actors and on-site staff just made up their own voices to demonstrate the effects. Moreover, the filming has not been completed, only a few excerpts have been excerpted.

It's just that the plot was not fully presented.

It's not so much a rough cut of the movie as it is a display of puppets and scenes.

He has actually seen some of these things. In the past few months, Wang Shenzhi would regularly report to him on the progress, along with some photos and short videos, roughly looking at the details of the puppets and scenes, as well as puppet operation demonstrations.

.

The redesigned and customized puppets are indeed more in line with the aesthetics of contemporary young people, especially the vixen Nie Xiaoqian inside, which is very delicately made, and her eyes are particularly vivid, as if they are really seducing people.

"Hey, are you sure this thing can really make money?" After the video was played, Han Yiping finally couldn't help but speak first.

He actually represents the views of the vast majority of the company's senior executives. Judging from their reactions, it is clear that he has the same suspicions as Han Yiping.

"Not sure. I never said that this thing can be 100% profitable. Filmmaking itself is risky, and the risk is not small, let alone such an unpopular subject? But it's still what I said when the project was established before,

I bet we'll be the first to eat crabs." Han Lan said.

Wang Shenzhi felt much relieved after hearing Han Lan's words and supported them.

What he was actually most afraid of was that Han Lan would be disappointed after reading it and give up on the project.

Han Yiping's brows were still furrowed, and he paused the playback of Nie Xiaoqian's scene: "To be honest, after watching these clips, the vixen that impressed me the most was the one that impressed me the most. Everything else... was too stiff.

."

"They are puppets. If compared with real people, they will definitely be stiff. It can only be said to be an artistic style. Moreover, our goal has been basically achieved by making you remember this vixen. Dad, a very popular character

, is enough to make a movie popular. What’s more, the plot, special effects, and scenes of this movie are not bad.”

"Yes, Mr. Han, don't look at the roughness now. That's because the post-production special effects haven't been added yet. Once the post-production special effects are added, the color is adjusted, and then professional voice actors dub it, it will be a completely different movie!" Wang

Shen Zhi also tried his best to explain.
Chapter completed!
