Chapter 101: Fire Movie

In the new year, Meng Lang has many plans.

As a meal ticket for the next few decades, the importance of "Ultraman" is self-evident.

In addition to Ultraman's opening work, the second most important project is Yan Tao's "Fire Boy King" movie project that is being prepared!

This is the first film work of Pengda Film and Television!

As the first work to enter the big screen, the success or failure of the firepower movie is very crucial!

If you succeed, everyone is happy!

Not to mention the mysterious thing of a box office hit, as long as he does not lose money, Meng Lang is confident to launch a number of big movie plans.

But if you lose money......

After all, the film market is the first time to set foot in, and the possibility of failure of the firepower movie is very high!

Meng Lang is also fully prepared, it doesn't matter if he loses some money. As long as it is not a loss to sell the building, it is an acceptable outcome.

To make a big movie, on the one hand, is to make money. On the other hand, it is also to fulfill his dream of filming.

It doesn't matter if the box office loses or not, it's just a reason to come up with a "commemorative version" of yo-yo.

Speaking of the theatrical version, Meng Lang has a headache.

The original version of "Fire Boy King" did not have a theatrical version, and Ao Fei may have had similar ideas, but he was still afraid of losing money and finally didn't do it.

There is no original version to refer to, and the theatrical version is equivalent to a blank piece of paper, waiting for Yan Tao and Meng Lang to fill in the content.

First of all, the starring role!

Yan Tao hopes to invite He Yifan to return, and together with Luo Wei, they can form the golden combination of "Li Fei + Millie" to save the box office of big movies through the power of feelings.

But Meng Lang refused.

It's not that he doesn't want to be sentimental.

Feelings have both advantages and disadvantages for a film work. The good thing is that with the blessing of feelings, the box office on the first day or even the first week will not be too bad. The disadvantage is that feelings are a double-edged sword, if used well, take off on the spot, and if you don't use it well, it will explode on the spot.

Moreover......

I don't have any feelings to consume!

"The Fire Boy King" has only been out for less than a year, and if you want to be just a bad money, at least wait for five or six years, right?

If the road of feelings does not work, then there is only innovation.

"Original, a protagonist!Try to put aside the influence of TV dramas, otherwise it is very likely to be eaten by word of mouth......"

Meng Lang's words are not unreasonable, although the quality of the firepower boy king is good in the eyes of children, it is a bad movie in the eyes of adults.

In the film market, it is usually adults who have the right to speak, and although children also have spending power, they have to go to school and read!

What's more, the appearance of new characters can also create new spin-off series.

Just like the armored warriors, if the theatrical version continues to follow the old routine, will it be less of the emperor's income?

Yan Tao nodded.

After jotting down all the main points, he closed his notebook and said, "Mr. Meng, then I'll go and discuss with the screenwriter team and make a plot synopsis first......

Yan Tao moved quickly.

In the afternoon of the next day, the rough version of the plot synopsis that Meng Lang wanted was made.

......

Silver Sandy Bay, Dazzling Fire Club.

The main character, Xiao Ming, participates in a tryout, becomes a substitute for the Dazzling Fire Team, and gets to know another newcomer to the Dazzling Fire Team, Xiao Wang.

In order to become the main members of the Xuanhuo team as soon as possible, Xiao Ming and Xiao Wang not only practice diligently during the day, but also go to the beach to hone their skills in uninhabited places in the dead of night when everyone is resting.

One night.

Xiao Ming and Xiao Wang, who were practicing, suddenly noticed a strange ball of light in the distance.

The ball of light rushed towards them along the sea.

Just as they were about to collide with the two, the ball of light shattered, and two beautifully shaped yoyos fell separately.

Curious, the two picked up the yo-yo on the ground.

The moment they started, the sphere spun rapidly, like a black hole engulfing the two of them.

When Xiao Ming and Xiao Wang woke up from their coma, they found that they had come to a magical world.

The yoyo here has become a divine soldier.

When everyone is born, they will receive their own Divine Weapon. By constantly fighting, you can increase your level as a god soldier......

After learning that the temple has a "time and space gate" to return to Earth, Xiao Ming and Xiao Wang embarked on a journey to find the temple.

There were many trials and tribulations along the way.

I also made a lot of friends.

Eventually, the two parted ways due to a disagreement on the way, and Xiao Ming continued to search for the temple. Xiao Wang was bewitched by the evil Yoyo Demon God and embarked on an evil path.

The ending of the story is naturally happy!

Xiao Ming and Xiao Wang fought, Xiao Wang woke up after the defeat, the two reconciled, and with the help of the god of Yoyo, they entered the "Yoyo Temple", opened the door of time and space and returned to the earth.

Meng Lang nodded after watching the brief introduction of the plot of the big movie.

"Well made!"

Although it is a little clichéd, it is full of traces of various routines. But this doesn't affect anything, after so many years, the story form of the movie has not changed at all.

Clichés are clichés, but the audience likes them!

This kind of script has no sincerity, and it is no different from Hollywood assembly line scripts, but it does conform to the laws of the market. The audience eats this set, and they have to play any artistic depth, I'm afraid they don't even know how to fight at the box office.

"That's it, go back to the special effects with dim sum! The artistic depth is lost, and the special effects can't be lost. ”

Meng Lang instructed: "This film can't be shot well for 20 million, you can make a draft of the budget and give it to me to look at it later." ”

"Okay, Mr. Meng!"

Yan Tao was full of surprises.

Don't cut the budget, but give him more money? This treatment is inevitably too good, right?

As the first film work in his director's career, Yan Tao is both grateful and fortunate to receive so much attention from Mr. Meng.

Fortunately, I signed a brokerage contract!

If he didn't choose a brokerage appointment and chose a director contract, he would have to get out after filming Firepower 2, how could it be his turn to have a good thing about a big movie?

Other people make movies, let alone rookie directors, even if they are well-known directors, the production budget is also tightly controlled, and investors don't want to spend a penny.

Compared with Mr. Meng, he is all scum!

Yan Tao, who is grateful to Dade, led the budget approved by Meng Lang and devoted himself energetically to the preparation of the big movie.

The synopsis is approved, and the next thing to do is to expand it into a movie script based on the synopsis.

After the script is released, the casting begins.

The shooting of the big movie is scheduled to start in May and be completed by the end of the year.

Meng Lang didn't care about Yan Tao after pointing out the direction, and his mind was all on the crew of "Ultraman" that was about to start.

Now the crew is almost ready.

Only the action director is left without a ......

Ultraman has a lot of fight scenes, and the first generation is not a "second kill king", fighting skills are still the main means of fighting, and only after the end of the fight will the light skills end.

The fighting skills of the original ......

It's hard to put into words!

It's a superman and a monster from the universe, and when they get into a fight, they will hug each other and roll around on the ground from time to time......

As a gigantic hero, considering the flexibility of the holster, the martial arts moves are exempt, but the attack movements really shouldn't be so hasty.

As a soldier of the Ultra Garrison, the fighting skills shown in the TV series by the first generation are completely inconsistent with the character settings.

Looks like a rookie!
