The Director of Music Department

The process of a film, big production and small cost, are completely different things.

For example, among the previous films made by Wang Yifan, "Lilac" is considered an independent film, and this one is the simplest. Everything was produced by Wang Yifan himself. After all, the cost was only a few million.

For the subsequent films, with Wang Yifan's previous fame and achievements, most of the time, regardless of whether it is the light and shadow of the prosperous Tang Dynasty or the Kyushu era, the green light will be given all the way.

After all, the cost is not high, and the risk is naturally greatly reduced.

Of course, it mainly depends on who is leading the project. With Wang Yifan's current status and achievements, if it is only a film project with a scale of tens of millions, Times Light and Shadow will definitely pass it as quickly as possible.

But it is different when it involves hundreds of millions of large projects. Even for Wang Yifan now, it still means extremely high risks.

Therefore, Dai Xinyue tends to raise funds from other companies to share risks together, and it is impossible for other companies to just watch Wang Yifan's movie and pass it directly. They also need to conduct investigations, research, risk assessment and so on.

Even if the financing is agreed, round after round of negotiations will be required afterwards. Therefore, it is difficult to start this project in a short period of time.

Therefore, it will take a long time for Wang Yifan's new movie to be negotiated.

In addition, this is Wang Yifan's first sci-fi movie, and it is a big production, so he is not in a hurry. This movie is in Wang Yifan's plan, and it will take at least 2 years.

This is why many films may only take a few months from project approval to release, but large productions usually take years.

Project approval, financing, preparation, filming, post-production, publicity and distribution, etc., the bigger the production, the more cumbersome the work, and the more stakeholders involved.

This is also the reason why there are countless production companies, distribution companies, etc. for many big-selling movies.

And there are many differences between big production and small cost.

For example, "Lilac", in fact, a popular song can raise the box office of a movie. Of course, the box office limit is limited.

At first, Wang Yifan just wanted to film the stories behind those songs, but he also knew that when hundreds of millions of big productions were involved later, the songs were actually just embellishments.

Publicity can play a role, but if you want to hold up the box office, you still need to watch the movie itself.

Therefore, he will still film the stories behind the songs, but he is no longer limited to them.

Although many people call him the director of the music department, only he knows that the director of the music department actually limits his upper limit.

Wang Yifan also has ambitions, he also wants to become a real great director, but a mere music director cannot become a real great director.

For example, not only did Dai Xinyue have doubts about the sci-fi blockbuster to be shot this time, but Wang Yifan himself was not that confident.

So, before that, he wanted to make a low-budget sci-fi film to practice his skills.

Of course, it is said that the cost is small, but the cost is actually not that small, but compared to those big productions and special effects sci-fi blockbusters, it can only be regarded as a small cost.

Speaking of which, what happened to Chen Bu before gave him some inspiration, this time he still followed his usual routine, music first.

Moreover, although the truth about Chen Bu's matter is not what the media reported, it really doesn't matter what the truth is, and the public doesn't care too much about it.

But this matter can be used as a publicity stunt.

 …

"Singing? No, no, I'm fine with acting, but I'm not a professional at singing." When Chen Bu heard that Wang Yifan wanted him to sing the movie's theme song, he was a little dumbfounded.

When it comes to acting, he is really worthy of anyone, but when it comes to singing, he is a little confused.

"I remember you singing pretty well? Didn't you sing the song "Sleepless Tonight"?" Wang Yifan felt a little strange about Chen Bu's reaction.

Because Chen Bu actually sang, although there was only one song, and it was an episode of a TV series, but Wang Yifan listened to it on purpose, and thought it was quite good, at least not out of tune? This shows that Chen Bu may not be professional enough, but at least he is not so amateur.

"I sang it, but it can also be said that I didn't sing it. It was made by Yin Xiu. I couldn't recognize it myself after listening to it." Chen Bu smiled wryly.

"That's right, we can also fix the sound, isn't that a problem?" Wang Yifan was happy, which singer doesn't fix the sound when he releases an album? Unless it is a singer with extraordinary talents like Zhang Zirong, there may be no need to modify the sound when it is live, but it will be modified to some extent in the recorded version.

"But, why me?" Chen Bu said helplessly.

"Because this song is the most suitable for you to sing, you will know it after reading it." Wang Yifan said and handed Chen Bu a piece of paper with the lyrics and score on it.

Chen Bu took it over and looked at Wang Yifan with some resentment.

Why? Because the title of this song is "Too Deep into the Drama".

Chen Bu may have some obsessive-compulsive disorder and some straightforwardness, but he is not a fool. "Too Deep into the Drama"? Doesn't it refer to the uproar reported by the media that he beat people on the set?

But only he himself knew that it wasn't because he got into the drama too much, but because that scumbag deserved a beating.

"But you know, it's fake." Chen Bu said speechlessly.

"What's the problem? You say it's fake, but will others believe it?" Wang Yifan said with a smile.

"Hey..." Chen Bu still resisted.

"You have been wronged so much, you don't want to get back some ground?" Wang Yifan urged.

"But what kind of situation is this?" Chen Bu said helplessly.

"Think about it, if they knew that the stories they made up actually fulfilled you and made you successful, would they still be so happy?" Wang Yifan asked with a smile.

"Eh..." Chen Bu was a little short of words, although what Wang Yifan said felt a little unreasonable, but thinking about it carefully, it was really true.

That guy originally wanted to discredit him, but he found out that the story they made up actually helped him, and instead, such a song appeared, which seems to be quite good.

Chen Bu rubbed his chin and asked, "Where's the script? I need to read the script."

"Here, here is the script, you have a look." Wang Yifan had already prepared, although it was just a script, but he could know what kind of story to tell.

Chen Bu took it over and read it, but he was quickly attracted by this story, because it was completely different from what he had thought before.

"Is this actually a sci-fi movie?" Chen Bu was a little confused.

"What's the problem?" Wang Yifan asked with a smile.

"Somewhat unexpected, but the idea is indeed not bad, but it seems that this is not finished?" Chen Bu asked.
