Chapter 87: Wool Gathering (2/5)

"Police Story" is Cheng Long's best work, and it is also one of the greatest action movies in Hong Kong Chinese and even the global film industry, and it is enough to compete for one of the best masterpieces in action film history.

There are two reasons for this: the first is that Cheng Long and his family class used their flesh and blood to create a visual spectacle that is difficult to replicate in the history of film.

The second is that the literary drama is also good, there are too many excellent actors!

Of course, there is another point, the background of the times: who is really competing with the action movies in Cheng Long's golden age!

At that time, Hollywood was still muscular men, clumsy punches me and punches, fighting without aesthetics or appreciation...

Cheng Long himself said: Hollywood's actions, remove the stereo and there will be nothing!

But he's old!

Another "Police Story", can you afford it?

No matter what, if Cheng Long is convinced, Shen Mengxi will definitely chase after - Yang Qing + Wang Wei + Mengxi Screenwriter Group, no matter how bad it is, it will not be possible to rot "Police Story 2013"!

That movie can get a box office of 534 million!

Why Police Story 2013 sucks...

There is no need for Cheng Long to star in this movie, and there is no need to use the banner of "Police Story"!

In fact, Uncle Long wants to transform, and Eastwood is his role model!

"Classic Car", "Absolute Power", "Unforgivable"...

......

On the set of "The Great Wall", filming is being done in an orderly manner.

Banquet than arrows...

Appearing are Zhang Jing, the commander of the Shadowless Army, Eagle Army, and Henry Cavill...

Whether a person is awesome or not depends on the level of his opponent, only the archery skills of General Eagle can set off Henry's bull ratio, and in turn there is a character portrayal of General Eagle.

The original version of "The Great Wall" exaggerated Damon's awesomeness, and it seems that the shadowless army is weak from top to bottom!

No matter what's the right choice...

Two men and one arrow set the bowl on the pillar.

won a full house, and Da Tiantian also admired Henry.

Then, the general of the Xiong Army played by Guo Jingfei stood up: "Or, let's compare swordsmanship?"

Henry Cavill was in a good mood when he was noticed by his sister, and shouted: "Good!"

Uncle Long glared at Guo Jingfei, and then waved his hand at Henry: "No need, we have already seen your archery skills!"

Henry was not convinced: "... I've always wanted to see Oriental swordsmanship..."

Guo Jingfei came to the competition venue and shouted: "The sword is coming!"

There is no doubt that Henry's clumsy attack was defeated by Guo Jingfei in three or two strokes...

Henry was disappointed...

Da Tiantian comforted him: "General Xiong is the number one swordsman in the world, it's normal for you to lose in his hands..."

"Click..."

Shen Mengxi frowned...

Da Tiantian's expression is too wooden!

"You guys, pay attention to your eyes, and make eye contact!"

Foreigners still have to have a girl, but the girl didn't pay attention to him, just just appreciated...

By the way, Da Tiantian's character is an orphan who grew up in the Shadowless Army, and her parents were a group looking for gunpowder in the early years, and they hung up...

Not far away, Ye Ning saw the on-site filming and asked Yang Qing: "What if the actor can't get the state all the time?"

"There are two ways to deal with it, one is to replace..."

"Substitution?"

"Of course, this can't appear in "The Great Wall", Jing Tian specially went to North America for half a year for this role, and now he has to find someone else to run the North American training camp, impossible!"

"What about the second one?"

Yang Qing looked at Wang Wei, who said: "Reduce the close-up, reduce the close-up to the whole person, and adjust the camera to the side to shoot, then the flaws in the actor's acting skills will be covered." ”

Later, AI face-swapping technology appeared...

It has not been widely used in reality shooting...

Where is the main application, I think you all know, I won't talk about it: the film is taken by someone else, and the celebrity face is the public, so what's wrong with me putting it together?

......

Wanda has been laying out the film.

And it's the whole industry chain.

In the early years, Wanda mainly relied on building buildings for sales, and the current income was one-time .

Later, I found that there was no more after the sale of the building, so I began to make a square, and all the residential offices were sold, and the funds were returned, which was equivalent to the commercial part being given away by the masses of people and the bank for nothing.

The real economy is not good, Wanda began to close stores, and found that in fact, some supporting facilities in the business are still very good, and the gross profit margin is much higher than that of the retail department store industry.

So I started to do theaters, and I found that in addition to high gross profit margins, I can also control the right to speak in the entertainment industry, which is good.

So I acquired AMC, and at the same time found that it was still a bit slow to make money from broadcasting movies, and I couldn't master the content.

So I started to make content, at first I was just an investor in distribution and content, and then slowly entered the upper end of the road industry chain, making theme parks, film and television production bases, investing in film production companies, and acquiring legends...

Continuously develop to the upper end of the industrial chain.

Ye Ning is the person in charge of Wanda Films.

The first thing after its establishment was to invest in "The Great Wall" - just to invest $20 million.

And then what?

You can't stop spending a lot.

There are not many big fish on the market now, and the number one is Cheng Long, Li Lianjie and the like...

Then Cheng Long, coupled with the popularity of "Big Man", Ye Ning immediately circled the IP of "Police Story".

The problem is that Cheng Long is not interested in pure martial arts anymore!

"Zodiac" was his last action movie...

At least that's what he thinks now.

"Zodiac" is over, I will no longer make pure action movies, and I will shoot more literary dramas...

It can also be seen from the movies he has chosen in the past few years that "Shinjuku Incident" and "Big Soldier", both of which ended tragically, reversed Cheng Long's past screen roles "can't die" convention, not even fighting like before, but almost "can't fight" roles.

The problem is that although the quality of these two films is good, the box office is not too high, because the audience still subconsciously likes to watch his action blockbusters.

Of the three movies "Desperate Escape", "Railway Flying Tiger", and "Kung Fu Yoga", none of them reached the passing score on Douban, how much box office did they get?

3.3 billion!

And it was six months that three films were released ...

Even if he wants to transform, the investors will not agree...

But what, Ye Ning doesn't care about this, he has calculated an account, as long as Cheng Long agrees to star, plus the sequel to "Police Story", and by the way, the director of "Big Man"...

At least 500 million box office!

No matter how good the schedule is, it is not impossible for the box office to be higher...

Ye Ning made a lot of promises, such as the best schedule, the best publicity resources, etc...

Cheng Long looked at Yang Qing and asked him, "The movie "Big Man" was given to you by Director Shen?"

Yang Qing nodded: "Yes, it's Mengxi with two shots, the script is provided by South Korea, and after Mr. Shen saw the script, he felt that it was very suitable for the two sides to develop together..."

"Then you're the director of Dream Creek?"

"Our company is different from other companies, and the company is not limited to directing external projects. ”

"Did you tell him about this project?"

Yang Qing nodded: "I said." ”

"What did he say?"

"He said whatever, suggesting I flip through Eastwood's films..."
