Chapter 139 Occupation [800 Orders and Changes]

Wang Jing was indeed as expected by Yue Guan.

Designating the heroine, Wang Jing didn't ask a word.

In the past, the Xiangcheng entertainment industry was much more chaotic than this, and this is where it is.

Relatively speaking, Gao Yuanyuan still has at least some acting skills and popularity, even if it was a public selection of actors, she would have considered it.

Wang Jing focused on the script.

Although he is known as the "king of bad movies", Wang Jing definitely doesn't want to make a bad movie before filming starts, who wants to be scolded if he can be praised.

Yue Guan had already contacted him before, and passed him a first draft of the script, the script of the first draft Yue Guan was mainly written according to the movie "Heaven and Dragon Slayer: The Demon Sect Master", although there are many highlights, but it is actually a little rough.

Because the original version of "Heaven and Dragon Slayer: The Demon Sect Master" was originally filmed and played by Wang Jing casually, and he didn't polish it at all.

The movie was only shot for seven days, can you believe it?

This is the filming speed of the Xiangcheng entertainment industry back then, and now it seems that it is incredible that things were basic operations back then.

Yue Guan then polished the script, deleted Zhu Yuanzhang's plot, and then adjusted Zhou Zhiruo's character design, which was obviously more mature than the previous plot.

After Wang Jing finished reading the new script handed to him by Yue Guan, he digested it for five minutes before he slowly spoke: "Yue Guan, if you are a screenwriter, you will definitely be very good." ”

Yue Guan smiled: "It's a pity that the status of screenwriters in the entertainment industry is too low, and they don't have any right to speak." ”

"yes, but you've got a really good script. Wang Jing liked Yue Guan's script very much, especially this new script: "It's very bold, even subversive. If it can achieve the desired effect, I dare not say that it will become a classic, but it will definitely impress fans. ”

"Actually, that's how I feel. "Yue Guan is not modest.

There is a plot of Zhu Yuanzhang in the original book of "Heaven and Dragon Slayer", Zhu Yuanzhang was deleted in the movie version, and then Zhang Wuji was changed to the emperor, as long as the foreshadowing was in place enough, the ending was actually a matter of course.

And the audience will also receive a natural surprise.

However, the problem is not without it.

Wang Jing, as a veteran in the director's industry, easily saw a problem: "The ending of changing Zhang Wuji to Zhu Yuanzhang is absolutely amazing, at least it can increase the box office by tens of millions, but this script can't be filmed in one piece, unless you want to shoot a movie for three hours." ”

Yue Guan shook his head: "Even if I am willing to shoot for three hours, the theater will not show it to me." ”

Cinema scheduling often has requirements for movies.

If you think about it, you can also know that the shorter the movie, the more times the cinema can repeat it, and the more opportunities there are to make money.

Therefore, the duration of the movie is generally controlled within two hours, and only blockbuster and immature directors will edit the finished film to more than two hours. The former is self-confidence, and the latter is not knowing the height of the sky.

The original version of "Heaven and Dragon Slayer: The Demon Sect Master" adds up to only one and a half hours.

"So you're going to make two films?" Wang Jing reminded, "In this way, the risk will increase a lot, because no one knows if the first one will be successful." ”

"Director Wang. ”

"Just call me Brother Jing. ”

Wang Jing's impression of Yue Guan is getting better and better, and he made a good relationship casually, and it only took a long time for Yue Guan to take the initiative to send him money.

Compared to Zhou Xingchi, there will be a lot of trouble.

Yue Guan didn't hold it, Wang Jing was more than a round older than him, and he was called brother if he called him.

"Brother Jing, do you think that if we shoot "Heaven and Dragon Slayer: Demon Sect Master" first, will it be a success at the box office?" Yue Guan took the initiative to ask.

In terms of the analysis of the box office, Wang Jing can still be trusted.

Wang Jing didn't answer Yue Guan's words immediately, but thought about it very seriously for a minute, and then considered it: "It's really hard to say, your script is completely opposite to the original setting, Zhang Wuji has become a black and sinister careerist and avenger, and those viewers who are looking forward to chivalry are likely to be disappointed." ”

But the logic is very smooth, Zhang Wuji's parents were forced to death in front of him, and he grew up in the cynicism of the Wudang faction. Children who grow up in this environment have an extreme personality and are determined to take revenge, but it is indecisive that the bodhisattva's heart is fake. ”

Wang Jing nodded: "That's the truth, compared to Zhang Wuji in the original book, I prefer Zhang Wuji in your script." Now the audience is also evolving very quickly, theoretically speaking, this change should be acceptable to the audience, and after all, Zhang Wuji also insists on anti-yuan. Although he was ambitious, he did not lose anything. ”

This is important.

People who want to be emperors, and then define them as simple good and bad people, it is simply an insult to them.

In the general environment at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, the heroes who can stand up and shout will have no loss in the big sections, and the small sections will not be enough to repeat.

The good man Zhang Wuji couldn't save the oppressed Han people at that time, but the hero Zhu Yuanzhang could.

"After such an analysis, the box office of the movie actually depends on the popularity of "Heaven and Dragon Slayer", and only the more people who know the book, the higher the box office of this movie. ”

Wang Jing looked at Yue Guan: "Then the release time of this movie can't be before the TV series version of "Heaven and Dragon Slayer". ”

"Yes, but this is not a problem, the TV series is filmed very quickly, and within this year, the TV series version of "Heaven and Dragon Slayer" will be broadcast. ”

"I'm also very quick at making movies. Wang Jingdao.

Yue Guan couldn't refute it.

"Heaven and Dragon Slayer: The Demon Sect Master" was filmed in seven days, Wang Jing finished filming, this is no longer a problem of fast gunners, it is a second shooting man.

Compared with Wang Jing, Zhang Jizhong is a younger brother.

People say that making movies should be carefully crafted, which must be slower than making TV series, Wang Jing slowly put a question mark.

The most awesome thing is that although Wang Jing is fast, the quality of the works he shoots is really not low.

In other words, the quality of his work has little to do with time.

Gao Yuanyuan interjected: "Do we want to shoot this movie in 3D?"

"Definitely, "Jiuyang Divine Skill", "Qiankun Great Shift" and "Tai Chi", including the Xuanming Divine Palm, all need to be displayed with 3D special effects. Martial arts movies have been in decline for a long time, and if you want to attract audiences, you need some new breakthroughs. There are some megatrends that must be embraced. ”

"In this case, the investment will have to chase higher. Wang Jing looked at Yue Guan: "What is the budget for this play?"

"Between 100 million and 200 million, most of the investment has to be spent on post-production. ”

Wang Jing's eyes lit up: "Heroic, I took this job." ”

Because the current land area of the Dragon Kingdom covers the whole of Asia, the scale of the Dragon Kingdom film market is naturally much larger than that of the same period in the previous life.

But at the same time, because of the national strength, the value of the dragon yuan is much higher than that of the yuan.

The investment of 100 million dragon yuan is not the top investment in today's Dragon Kingdom film industry, but it is definitely a big production in the first gear.

Wang Jing has never directed a blockbuster film with an investment of more than 100 million dragon yuan before, and this is his first time.
