Chapter 396 Wu Jing's Modern War Movie
Time passed day by day, and as the students officially started school, the summer file also came to an end.
"Jaws 3" won this not-so-fierce summer file war with a box office of 680 million, and Future Pictures won the summer box office championship for two consecutive years.
It didn't break 700 million, which is a pity, but it is also within the scope of Li Qian's acceptance, after all, horror films are originally niche, and there is the first Zhuyu in front, it is rare to have this achievement.
To put it mildly, many viewers are coming for Li Qian.
And "Painted Skin 2" finally ended with a box office of 633 million, opening high and going low, ranking second in the summer file.
Although this box office is already a big hit compared to the production cost of 120 million, it did not reach the goal of Huayang Media, and the first blockbuster was a failure, or it was lost in the hands of Li Qian.
As for the third place, it is not "The Four Famous Catches" starring Deng Chao and Liu Yufei, this adaptation only got 180 million box office.
The spy war movie "Listener to the Wind" released in August got a high box office of 250 million.
A spy war film made in Hong Kong, about the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, led by Liang Chaowei and Zhou Xun, the lineup is enough to make people look forward to it, after all, "The Wind" is in front, and both movies are adapted from the Mai family.
This film has obvious advantages and obvious disadvantages.
As a spy war film, it does not show a different kind of bloody cruelty like previous works, on the contrary, it uses an understatement to slightly skim by, and then uses a variety of gorgeous or solemn or sad or low background music to show the inner emotions of the characters.
For example, the scene when Liang Chaowei first entered the 701 base, the overgrown earth, the large bare birch forest, the soft sunlight, and the flashing car lights and street lamps alternately.
Moreover, this film focuses more on excavating the connotation and emotions of the characters themselves, rather than only expressing politics, supreme interests and the so-called honorary mission.
To put it bluntly, the director of Xiangjiang filmed, they did not experience that era, and the spy war film did not involve politics, diluting the contradiction between the enemy and me.
This is also history, and director Xiangjiang has never been good at history.
In the end, because of Liang Chaowei's mistake, Zhou Xun died in the middle of the performance.
It's still five people who surrounded and hacked to death with knives, no matter how you look at it, it feels like a gangster movie.
has advantages, but there are also a lot of slots, which is an alternative spy war movie.
Another domestic film with a box office of more than 100 million yuan is "The Disappearing Bullet", which was also released in August with good luck, and was almost not affected by "Jaws 3" and "Painted Skin 2", and got a box office of 150 million.
However, the reputation is far behind, a suspense film under the banner of the first strange case of the Republic of China, but there is no decent reasoning, and the discovery of the truth only takes a moment of epiphany.
The content is the same as the title of the film, a homicide, but no bullets can be found.
However, such a very ordinary film was nominated for Best Picture in the just-announced Golden Horse Award nominations.
Another sequel movie, "Hedong Lion's Roar 2", got a box office of 70 million, which was quite a failure, who still goes to the cinema to watch Zhang Baizi.
Compared with last year, the summer file is a bit tepid, but "Batman: The Dark Knight", which was released at the end of August, is the biggest hit at the moment.
This is a movie that can be rated as a five-star, but with the second part in the front, it can only be rated as a four-star, and the second one can be said to be an almost perfect movie.
However, such a masterpiece, the box office is very average.
200 million in the first seven days, and only 70 million left in the second week, the trend of the start of school is very average, and the maximum number of votes is more than 300 million.
The TV drama market is also over, led by "The Legend of Lu Zhen" in July, Zhao Liying captured the hearts of uncles and aunts in one fell swoop, and older audiences can't like her cute little round face.
In August, "Celebrating More Than Years" dominated the TV, and the performance of Hu Gejia and a group of old drama bones is very different from today's costume films, focusing on power and conspiracy, unlike costume romance dramas that fall in love every day.
The movies and TV series were both successful and the future pictures became the biggest winner of the summer file.
The second-round broadcast rights of the two TV series have also been sold, which is no worse than the price of the first round, and it can make a lot of money for Li Qian.
The most beautiful future film industry in the whole summer vacation has also aroused countless envy, jealousy, and hatred.
However, it is not surprising that this is the case for those who succeed.
Li Qian finally worked overtime, completed the post-production of the film on September 11, and sent a copy to Han Sanping for the leaders' reference, and selected one from "Truman's World", "1942", and "Search" to represent Chinese films in the Oscars.
After cutting the film in advance, Li Qian was also a little idle.
I just finished being busy and didn't want to go out, so I wanted to rest at home.
Fortunately, Tong Liya's "Beautiful Fate" has not yet started filming, and she spent two days at home with Li Qian without shame or irritability.
After two days off, I went to the company to clock in and go to work as usual, and there was nothing to do.
After ten months of preparation, Fumimakino's "When Happiness Knocks on the Door" is finally about to start preparing for casting.
"Boss, the role of the male protagonist, the Mesozoic Era is suitable for Liu Ye and Deng Chao, who do you think you are looking to play?"
The candidate for the role of the actor, Wen Muye still asked Li Qian's opinion.
"Indeed, and both of them have children, it will be more convenient to play the father. ”
It's not that in the entire mainland, only Liu Ye and Deng Chao can play "Happiness Knocks on the Door" in the Mesozoic Generation.
There are more people who can act, but there are only two of them in the first-line students.
Chen Kun's role is not suitable, let alone Huang Xiaoming, he is just a tease.
Xu Zheng and Huang Bo are okay to play their fathers, but they play a process from a rookie in the workplace to a successful person, which is a bit weird, and the appearance is more or less inappropriate.
Moreover, the TV series that Xu Zheng promised him to shoot before has also been filmed, and he is preparing for the sequel to "People in Embarrassment", and he and Huang Bo are not available.
As for the second- and third-tier actors, they are not considered, unless there is no suitable one in the first line.
The only reason for any crew not to hire big-name actors is that they don't have money.
Li Qian thought for a while and said, "Just Deng Chao, Liu Ye took over the second male villain of "Police Story 2013", and there is no schedule, Deng Chao has children, as a father, there should be no big problem in acting." ”
Wen Muye nodded, "It's just that I'm a little younger, and I have a little less sense of vicissitudes." ”
The actor's family and career have undergone great changes, and when he is in his thirties, he is no longer young, and any major setback at this time will make a man with children vicissitudes.
In this regard, the appearance can be made up, and in fact, Deng Chao also experienced major changes in his life in his early years, his father and sister were seriously ill, working hard to take over the drama, and the huge work and family pressure was not much easier than the male protagonist in the movie, the difference was that he had a job with a lot of pay.
After determining the male lead, Wen Muye took his leave and went to work.
......
Li Qian stayed in the company all morning, and in the afternoon, Wu Jing, who had been absent for two years, came.
"Director Li. ”
"Brother Jing, sit down. ”
Looking at Wu Jing, who had been standing straight and meticulous since entering the door, Li Qian smiled and said, "After two years of military camp life, Brother Jing now looks more like a soldier." ”
After painting the 10-year National Day file "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds", Wu Jing went to live in the Jinling Military Region for two years in order to make a modern war movie, which is not much different from being a soldier for two years.
Two years is enough time to change a lot, and now Wu Jing is walking on the road, and if you want to say that he just came back from the army, some people believe it.
In "Soldier Assault", after Xu Sanduo recovered, he walked on the street, incompatible with the people around him, and his words and deeds looked different.
Of course, Wu Jing is not so serious, less than two years, in the Internet era, it is not that he does not contact the outside world.
is that walking and standing are different from ordinary people, and even sitting is meticulous and straight.
Wu Jing sat upright in front of Li Qian, with a resolute face, and even his voice was a little louder than two years ago, "It's okay, life in the barracks is not bad, I have learned a lot, and I also think it's time to prepare for the modern war film I have always wanted to make." ”
"Shoot! I fully support, just say what you need!" Li Qian responded.
is so simple, Wu Jing has been training with special forces in the barracks, and the habitual serious expression caused by it can't help but soften a lot, and his voice is much more normal.
He said, "I have already told the Jinling Military Region that the Military Region will support all weapons and ammunition, but there is no need to worry about this, I estimate that the investment budget will be 100 million yuan, and the Military Region will invest a small part." ”
"No problem, I'll take care of the rest, Brother Jing, you can prepare with peace of mind, by the way, what exactly do you plan to shoot?"
"Mainly based on special forces, mainly to fight against foreign mercenary forces, I am still preparing the specific script, and I have found a professional screenwriter in the military, but the title of the film is set, it is called "Wolf Warrior", which is the number of special forces. Wu Jing said.
Li Qian smiled, ""Wolf Warrior"? Brother Jing, you have a soft spot for wolves, and the first movie is called "Wolf Teeth". ”
Wu Jing began to recall, "I used to read a book called "Wolf Totem", and this book attracted me very much. I think that the wolf's cruelty to its enemies, its loyalty to its companions, the fact that it will never look for another wolf after the death of its partner, its wisdom, its concern for its friends, etc., this kind of thing can especially reflect the feeling of our soldiers, and it is also a character that I particularly like ideally!"
This is similar to what Li Yunlong said, he said that his soldiers were a pack of howling wolves. Li Qian said.
"Li Yunlong?" Wu Jing was stunned for a moment before he reacted, who is this talking about, he nodded and said, "Yes, and I think not only soldiers, but ordinary people should also have wolf nature!"
"After a long time of comfort, it is inevitable that there will be all kinds of people. Li Qian shook his head, in modern times, especially on the Internet, you don't have to speak responsibly, and no one hits you along the network cable, no one knows who you are, and what kind of birdman has come out.
