Chapter 1192: Protagonist Question
"The heroine must be an East Asian in appearance, and her acting skills do not need to be at the level of an Oscar-winning actress, as long as she can reach the average level. It's just that the more beautiful the look, the better, and it's best to make people look at it in a daze..."
After eating most of the meal, this Zhang Nan stopped to conceive, and did a lot of palindromic script editing, when it comes to script adaptation, he is still a bit level.
Familiar with 300 Tang poems, you will make up if you can't make it: the copyist is much more important, and he can make up a few paragraphs if he is a fool!
The people in the neighborhood quieted down, and seeing that the boss was a bit of a state of talking to himself, it would be best not to disturb him.
Adversity...
The exception is Xiao Nizi.
Hearing Zhang Nan's nagging similar to talking to herself, she pursed her lips and muttered: "There are ready-made ones in the house, what can I find."
No one is more suitable than Jingzi, she has become popular in the Southeast Asian Chinese-speaking market with her previous two TV series, not to mention that she is a super goddess on the little devil's side.
In the past two years, the company has praised her a lot, and now she is at least the top second-tier star in Hollywood, and it is a matter of time before she goes to the first line.
The more beautiful the better?
Brother, half the world is saying that if she was not blessed by the Emperor before she was born, then she must be Satan's illegitimate daughter.
As long as Yasuko is in your movie, there will be a box office guarantee in the small half of the world, at least those men with brains will watch it.
You don't have to find someone else, you have to find someone more suitable than her to count me out!"
Zhang Nan also came back to his senses and listened to Xiao Nizi's complaints...
Oh, can you find a more suitable one than Yasuko Sawaguchi?
Gone!
She has all the conditions she needs, but there is a little problem.
"It's hard to make her a Western-style movie star that the Western world can accept, but it's a movie with pure Chinese elements.
If the impression left on the audience is too deep, it will be difficult to turn back. ”
Chariz Theron expressed disdain for Zhang Nan's concerns!
"That's called the wide road, and people are no longer the beautiful vases they were when they first came.
Unless you want Sister Lisa to act, you can't find a more suitable one!"
Forget it, let Adjani, who has excellent acting skills, play a beauty of the Qin Dynasty?
The kid has blue eyes, you're kidding me!
Well, Charlie is not jealous, of course she knows the relationship between Zhang Nan and Yasuko Sawaguchi, but suitable is suitable, not blowing.
"Brother, you said that the story between the hero and heroine is a thousand years of love and unswerving to death, then this story has to be poignant, and there are also large-scale war scenes and small-scale cold weapon fights.
You have to find a male protagonist who can really fight, better looking better than a showmanship, at least you have skills, such as Brother Guan. You have to have a certain popularity, not newcomers. ”
Zhang Nan shook his head and said: "Brother Guan is not suitable like this, Jingzi is only 1.58 meters tall, and the photographer's height of 65 is not a big problem, but the actor can't be too tall."
During the Qin Dynasty in China, the big men in Guanzhong were basically big men, but this protagonist didn't have to be a big man. ”
Speaking of which, Zhang Nan thought of himself, the actor who should be very suitable to play this film is a little younger at present: Jet Li, the age and temperament of "Hero" ten years later will be more suitable.
But now there is a technique called makeup, and it is not a big problem to make people tender for ten years, and it is even more trivial to be ten years old!
As soon as the name is said, Guan Xingquan and Lin Ming here say that it is appropriate, it seems that these two people like "Shaolin Temple" 100%.
Chariz Theron listened to the conversation between the three of them, a little confused, and couldn't help but ask Zhang Nan: "Shaolin Temple, that's a temple, I know this."
Who is Jet Li and is very famous?"
Zhang Nan smiled, didn't answer her directly, but said to Guan Xingquan: "Brother Guan, do you remember the box office of "Shaolin Temple"?"
Guan Xingquan thought for a while, "At that time, it seemed to be mentioned in the newspaper that there should be more than 100 million. ”
"Renminbi?"
It would only be Charlie who would be questioned.
Zhang Nan looked at her and said, "Is it a dollar?"
"Ten years ago, the film could have two or three million dollars, and it was okay. ”
The male protagonist of such a movie, Charlie thinks that he should have some strength.
Zhang Nan looked at her with a little disappointment, and said something that made all the Americans and Russians here unbelievable!
"Released in 82, the box office of that movie in mainland China at that time was about 161 million, which is a very conservative unofficial statistics, because China's box office statistics system is very imperfect.
You know, Charlie, the average ticket price for that movie at that time was 1 cent to 1 dime and 5 cents!"
Crazy!
The brutality is indescribable!
"Brother, what is the population of Huaxia in 82?"
"A billion hangs zero. ”
Hearing this answer, Chariz Theron's eyes widened and said, "Impossible! Everyone in the whole country has to go to see at least one show to reach this box office, which is absolutely impossible!"
It's a math problem: If people all over the United States go to see a movie like this, how much will it box office?
Zhang Nan smiled, he still had chopsticks in his hand, so he pointed the chopsticks at himself and said, "I was in junior high school at that time, and I watched it 8 times in the cinema in two months.
Brother Guan, Lin Ming, how many times did you watch it?"
Lin Ming stretched out his hand, "Five times, two in the local cinema, and three in the army's own auditorium." ”
Inquire where the screenings are and then rush to them.
Guan Xingquan also smiled here: "There are always four or five times."
Charlie, it's hard to say how accurate the 161 million is, but the number of viewers of that movie is really terrifying, and it is unimaginable in the Western world.
The national conditions are different, the times are also different, and they cannot be replicated.
More than ten years ago, many new movie theaters were built in Huaxia, not only pure cinemas, but also city halls. Basically, they are single-hall theaters, and even in some villages, each can seat thousands of people.
When "Shaolin Temple" was played, there was a large theater on the side of the military station, and there was also a movie theater that started at 8 o'clock in the morning and ended at 12 o'clock in the evening every day, every two hours.
Go to some suburban counties below, whether it is the movie in the county seat, or the movie theater in various towns and towns, and the movie theater of various factories and mining units, it is like this, and it is continuously full.
These are all tickets that cost money, not counting the free open-air movies that will be shown later.
It's normal for me to watch it a few times in a month, and I've watched it twenty or thirty times, and I've read all of my month's salary. ”
Guan Xingquan's words, Xiao Nizixin, are more reliable than Zhang Nan's words.
Zhang Nan waited for him to finish, and then said: "Charlie, there are a lot of movie theaters in China, definitely no less than in the United States."
My grandmother's house is a big village, and ten years ago they built a movie theater, although it is a hard flap seat, the condition is poor, but it can still sit a thousand people to watch it together.
Every time there is a good movie, every show will be full of people from the upper half of the village, and people from nearby villages will also come to watch..."
Zhang Nan said with a little emotion, more than 20 years later, young people will think that the 21st century is the period of vigorous development of the Chinese film industry, but in fact, in terms of the number of movie theaters and the number of seats, the 80s exploded in 2016!
It's really not a boast, in the 80s, there would be a movie theater at the county level, even if it was a poor place, there would be at least one city hall that could be used as a movie theater.
Almost all towns and villages have their own movie theaters, and due to the times, even the mountainous towns and villages can basically build them, not to mention some auditoriums with movie playback equipment and ticket sales.
Many factories and mining enterprises also have movie theaters, not blowing, as long as it is a factory with nearly 1,000 people, if the leader does not build a large auditorium and movie theater that allows all employees to watch movies every week, then the leader is basically a waste!
Ten years ago, almost half of the 60 or so townships had their own cinemas (at least a large hall with broadcasting equipment), as well as silk factories, silk mills, silk weaving mills, cotton mills, cement factories, and chemical factories with good facilities.
Bamboo weaving factory, thermal power plant, motor factory, agricultural machinery factory, forging factory......
There are no movie theaters in this large number of factories with a small number of employees, but movies can be shown in the auditorium!
Unfortunately, after the mid-90s, the number of movie theaters still used in China plummeted, and many people stopped going to a movie for almost 20 years.
