Chapter 83: I Was Impressed by Sincerity (3/5)
Calculate an account, "The Great Wall" should be released in 2013.
Not surprisingly, in December.
With the market capacity in 2013, close to 20,000 screens, it is a bit difficult to produce a film of more than 2 billion.
The domestic box office is calculated at 10-1.5 billion...
The publicity cost of 120 million US dollars cannot be recovered only by the 1.5 billion box office in the mainland, and it has to rely on the overseas market, and the actor has grown from an immature backup knight to a knight, at least the audience in Western countries can understand it.
By the way, it exported the unique military and civilian fish and water conditions in the East, as well as the concept of the people's soldiers...
Full marks for essays!
The next shooting is the first war, Henry Cavill helped the palace marshal and killed a gluttony who climbed the city wall together, Uncle Long felt that this young man had combat effectiveness and decided to keep him...
Of course, the actor played by Henry Cavill must have been unable to work at the beginning, and the reason why he agreed to join the Shadowless Army was to get gunpowder.
By the way, Henry Cavill is miserable!
Superman's character was pried into – yes, the black actor is poised to become an iconic comic book hero for a new generation of Americans, and beyond, the globe!
......
To make a movie with an investment of more than $80 million, the most important thing is the mentality.
Keep a normal heart.
The relationship between creation and production is interactive.
In terms of production, we will find a way to meet all the work required for creation, such as money, time, and personnel.
The creative side will also come back and determine the scale with reference to the production plan.
This point is relatively smooth for the crew of "The Great Wall".
Because Shen Mengxi is both a producer and a director!
The production department is also involved in the creation of things, and when the production encounters difficulties, the creative department also discusses the solution together...
There will be no competition between producers and directors for power.
To be specific to each day, the first thing to do is to be meticulous enough about the content of the shooting, because the script is all textual things, and it is difficult to accurately estimate its workload, for example, the first battle lasted half an hour...
How to fight?
How to show cruelty?
This is the power of Hollywood's industrialization!
"The Great Wall" began preparations in November last year, and all the storylines were sub-shot, and some of the more difficult content had to be pre-produced.
All the shooting workload has been planned in detail for each shot before the start of the shooting;
All the staff knew exactly what to shoot and how to plan the work on a case-by-lens basis, which shots needed to be shot on set, which shots needed to be produced in post-production, and which shots needed special coordination between departments.
Careful control of the shooting content is the prerequisite for creating a shooting plan!
Otherwise, it's just behind closed doors, and I don't know what to shoot and what to plan?
Then there is the tireless and detailed communication between the various departments.
The director team will prepare an information board on the set.
The board is partly for authoring content and partly for producing information.
The content of the creation is all the storyboards of the pictures to be shot on the day, and the relevant preparations for these shots have been communicated with various departments the day before or even earlier, and the information from everyone is collected and then optimized to arrange and combine them, and the shooting sequence is formulated.
Because filming on the spot is not completely in the order of the content of the scene, but in the order of execution, such as camera position, light position, etc., which will save a lot of time and cost, so each department clearly knows what the content of today's shooting is and in what order to complete.
There is also a shooting notice on the information board, and this shooting notice will be detailed to every department and every person.
For example, what time does the actor start to put on makeup, when does he need to hand in his makeup, what time does all the departments arrive at the scene, and each department has its time to plan the corresponding workload for each day!
When they arrived at the site, the staff knew what to do, and they all did it in the prescribed order.
After careful splitting and refinement to each shot, the resulting shooting cycle is four months!
So, don't rush, take your time...
......
Shen Mengxi is filming unhurriedly here, and Lu Xiaoran over there finally got Yang Xiaomi!
She agreed to play Gu Li.
"Little Times" is a protagonist, Gu Li is the boss, and the character design is the best.
Of course, she took this play, not because of how much she likes "Little Times", the whole "Little Times" is a process of sisters tearing each other apart, reconciling, and tearing again, she was moved by Zhao Shan's words, there are too many fans of the original work of this play!
According to Lu Xiaoran's words, this is a big IP!
Coupled with Guo Jingming's personal directing, two gimmicks are enough.
Of course, after knowing the later casting, she regretted it a little and thought about resigning - Lin Xiao, Nanxiang, and Tang Wanru found Peng Xiaoran, Di Lieba and Jin Chen respectively...
That's right, all newcomers to the company.
All younger than her...
That's not the point, what does it mean to be new?
It means that there is no popularity, and Yang Xiaomi needs to milk three people alone!
Although, Zhu Yawen agreed to play Gong Wei, Gu Yuan found Lin Gengxin... is a well-known actor.
But so what?
Four heroines, three of them are newcomers!
It's too exaggerated, I, Yang Xiaomi, have fallen to the level of playing with newcomers?
I don't have enough milk, so let's change someone...
But she was reluctant to give up the IP of "Little Times", so she posted a Weibo, which can be regarded as a test:
"Gu Li of "Little Times", does anyone like it?"
"Ahhh
"Looking forward to the best actors meeting the best characters..."
"My favorite actor played the role I like..."
Not only did the fans boil, in just four hours, this Weibo sparked 260,000 discussions...
In 24 hours, the number of discussions rose to nearly 10 million...
This data is terrifying!
What does it stand for?
It's hot!
Yang Xiaomi gritted her teeth, I took it, isn't it a newcomer, it's okay, the old lady has enough money!
Of course, Yang Xiaomi, as the only card in "Little Times" now, in addition to starring in Gu Li, also served as a producer and participated in the sharing.
It's just about making money!
After Liu Shishi learned the news, the whole person was stunned - she had read this script, and then directly rejected it, a meaningless soap opera script!
Camaraderie?
Your good friend has cancer, so that you don't have to worry about her, slept with your boyfriend, you call this friendship?
The whole script is too exaggerated, there is no logic, she doesn't like it very much, of course, the most important thing is that she doesn't have time to take this drama, after "Strange Man Yizhimei", her positioning has become a woman, and she took over the filming of "Legend of Dance and Music", "The Prodigal Son of the New Border City", "Smiling Proud Jianghu"...
The role of "Smiling Proud Jianghu" is undefeated in the East...
is busy filming various costume dramas, and by the way, there are two movies, "Love Diagnosis and Treatment" and "Teacher's Diary", and the schedule for the next two years is full!
What she wondered, why did Yang Xiaomi take a movie like "Little Times"?
I simply called her and received a reply: "I was touched by their sincerity!"
"Speak human words. ”
“... I think this drama will do well at the box office!"
