Chapter 69: Theatrical Version
At the end of July, just when Meng Lang had just set the shooting plan for his next work, the film and television industry made waves again.
Several follow-up works that have been rumored to be established before have been filmed?!
Who can withstand this?
Meng Lang thinks he is a fast gunner, and the time it takes to shoot a drama is relatively short. But a mountain is higher than a mountain, and I didn't expect that there are people who are shorter than him!
Sure enough, the master is in the folk!
The first news of the completion of the project was "Hurricane Boy King", which is scheduled to premiere on the Shonan Children's Channel on August 1.
Subsequently, Leah Film and Television was not willing to be lonely, and announced to the public through the official Weibo that the filming of their "Candy Girl" live-action TV drama has entered the final stage, and it is expected to meet the children in August!
The slower is the veteran film and television giant Haitian Film and Television, and their "Light Wave Boy" has not made any news.
This August file is lively!
Although the live-action dramas of "Hurricane Boy" and "Candy Girl" are aimed at different audiences, there will inevitably be some conflicts when the schedule is approaching.
Little Boy VS Little Girl?
Who is the remote control?
Jiangnan Film and Television and Leah Film and Television are both well-known giants in the industry, with a market value of billions!
In order to avoid conflicts with the new dramas of these two giants, those small directors who followed the trend had to withdraw from the August file to compete for the ratings of the September file.
Meng Lang was not idle, and when the entire film and television industry was fascinated to follow the trend, he ran to the crew of "Fire Boy King 2".
Yan Tao's work efficiency is very good!
has a successful predecessor as a foundation, and the follow-up income of the sequel is guaranteed, and Meng Lang is willing to spend money on Yan Tao.
It's hard to imagine that the Fire Boy King, who was originally just a little dazzling, would have changed so dramatically in the second part!
The glare is a sign, and that definitely stays!
The real change comes from the improvement of the special effects in yo-yo duels!
Meng Lang's previous work, that is, the first firepower boy king, rarely used exquisite special effects during the yo-yo battle, and usually fooled the past with bells and whistles.
Even if it was the peak duel between Li Fei and Mike, the special effects were very rough, and they were completely drafted hastily for the sake of hurrying work.
I didn't have any money at that time!
Now that Pengda is rich, especially the strength of its special effects studio has been improved, it is not too dazzling to do the special effects of yo-yos.
Dazzle is done!
The main story line of Firepower Boy King 2 is not much related to the first part, especially when He Yifan refused to appear in the sequel, Meng Lang directly deleted Li Fei's scene.
Millie is still there!
Luo Wei is an actor who has endured hardships, even if she mixes up from an ordinary group performance, she has not swelled to the point where she is like He Yifan.
The main line is the confrontation between the two yo-yo clubs, the "Dazzling Fire Team" and the "Electric Shock Team", focusing on youth and blood!
In the second part, the tricky difficulty of yo-yo has been further improved. After all, it is a drama that focuses on "yo-yo", and the first fancy difference can be said to popularize the introductory gameplay of yo-yo, but the second part is not good.
At the beginning of filming, all the leading actors in the play, including director Yan Tao, received a one-month closed yo-yo training.
The people who trained them were from the first Pengda Cup Yo-Yo World Series champions and runners-up!
Don't want to play well, at least you have to be able to play.
The young actors accepted it quickly, and they mastered a lot of advanced moves not long after they got started.
It's hard for Yan Tao, a middle-aged man who is running four......
"Mr. Meng, did you also train like this when you filmed the first part?" Yan Tao asked as he wound the rope.
Meng Lang smiled awkwardly.
Train a fart, and make one move after another, so that he can actually show his hands......
Forget it.
"That's different, the first part is to open up the market and popularize the game for children by the way. You don't need to play too many advanced tricks, it's mainly a popularization effect......"
I almost believed what he said.
Yan Tao naturally believed it, and extended a new thought: "That is to say, the sequel is to consolidate the market? Let the children who are already interested in yo-yo know that there are more advanced moves in the basic moves?"
"So to speak......" Meng Lang nodded.
The first part is to open up the market, the second part is to consolidate the market, and the third part is ...... Part 4...... I can't go on!
Seeing that Yan Tao still wanted to discuss it, Meng Lang hurriedly crossed the topic and said: "Don't talk about this, you have also been filming for so long, what do you think of the company's drama?" ”
"I think so......"
Yan Tao hesitated: "This doesn't seem to be any different from shooting an advertisement? It's just that the length is longer, and you need to add a branch plot." ”
"You're right!"
Meng Lang said with great satisfaction: "Our company is different from other film and television companies, they are rushing to sell broadcast rights to make a profit, and we are rushing to sell peripheral derivatives to make a profit." ”
Otherwise, why should the sequel be handed over to you to shoot?
Originally, Meng Lang came to the crew just to mention Yan Tao, but he didn't expect that without him waking up, this guy had already understood the trick of filming.
Since this is the case, then Meng Lang can rest assured that he can entrust the series "Fire Boy King" to him.
"Shoot well! I'll give you a big surprise after filming the sequel!"
"What kind of surprise? it can't be Firepower Boy King 3, right?" Yan Tao asked with some hesitation.
Meng Lang: "......"
Is this the quality of the people underneath?
What do you think of him!
It's not such a circle method to circle money, it's good to have a sequel a year, even if you want to shoot 3, it's next year.
"It's not this, it's the theatrical version!"
"Theatrical version?!"
Yan Tao was so frightened that he almost bit his tongue!
Did he hear him right?
As for the play of the Fire Boy King, can there be a theatrical version? Just two dazzling yoyos are awkwardly playing, how should this theatrical version be filmed?
No matter how you watch it, it's a bad movie reservation!
If this loses money, Mr. Meng can't peel his skin and make it into a limited version of human skin YOYO?
Yan Tao wanted to refuse this good errand in the eyes of others, but he heard Meng Lang say before he could speak.
"Don't be stressed! It's like filming a TV drama!"
That's the big screen, Mr. Meng!
Can that be the same as a TV series? If it is really made into a TV series, the box office must not be rushed to grandma's house?
"Mr. Meng, why don't you think about it again?" I always feel a little unreliable about the theater version ......of the Fire Boy King," Yan Tao said with a bitter face.
Meng Lang raised his hand.
"I don't want you to think, I want me to think! The company has already researched and decided, and you will be the director of this theater version!"
"Don't be pressured, do your best!"
If you can make a little money, you can make a little, and if you lose money, you should pay a necessary expense for cultivating talents.
It doesn't make sense that variety shows and big movies can be just bad money, and he Meng Lang can't do it.
Besides, will the theatrical version lose?
The box office may lose, after all, it is the first theatrical version to test the waters, and it is reasonable for the audience to refuse to buy it.
But you don't buy tickets......
Do you want to buy the new yo-yo?
