Then Jing Jian analyzed it in detail for the two of them, and after listening to it, Hu Juewen and Ding Sheng both felt that it made sense. First of all, the subject matter must be politically correct, and no one will say that it is wrong to kill devils. The second is also certainly a war action movie, with elements of a standard popcorn commercial movie.

There is also the selling point of this kind of film, mainly special effects, gunfights and action, the hero and heroine can be a person, of course, handsome men and beautiful women are definitely better, but the actors in the entire mainland can be chosen at will, and the appearance is always much more beautiful than the male and female stars blown out by the Hong Kong media.

However, it needs to be admitted that the Hong Kong beauty pageant is not at the bottom, and there are also South Korea and Japan. One is blinding, suspecting that the beauties are all multiples, well, united like a family. The other is ......, please, you are still a puppet in Japan, right?

The point, of course, is that the pay is almost negligible. To be honest, Chinese film actors in this era may not have a salary of 10,000 soft girl coins for a movie.

And the plot is even simpler, it is nothing more than constant killing and killing, killing devils in tricks. However, Jing Jian emphasized here that don't be brain-dead, play any artistry, and in the end, you must ensure a happy ending, and don't have any Japanese beauty spies fall in love with me, or any love triangle to play sadistic, and the heroine deserves to die. Anyway, there is a "cool" word from beginning to end, so that the audience can enjoy a two-hour visual feast.

In fact, Jing Jian has already said the essence of the anti-Japanese war drama. Otherwise, in another time and space, why would the later anti-Japanese war dramas be so popular? It is because of such advantages, and the investment is small, the return is high, and the most important thing is that the terrifying beast will basically ignore it, and it is simply a Hengdian that destroys all the Japanese devils.

However, the anti-Japanese war drama at that time was still good and bad. In fact, a plot like "Hidden Mine in the Crotch"? The screenwriter should really drag it out and shoot it, it's too idiotic to treat the audience for idiots. But like "grenade bombing the plane", this can be there, why? It's because it's cool! Then it doesn't matter if the art is exaggerated to the point of breaking through the sky. Also, as long as there are emotional scenes in the Anti-Japanese War drama, it is certain that the screenwriter and director are pursuing in art again. Here is a suggestion, as long as you are an investor or producer, put these patients into the blacklist in the future!

Hu Juewen and Ding Sheng basically agreed with Jing Jian's statement. But they still had some questions, so Hu Juewen asked: "Director Jing, there were too many anti-Japanese war films in the past, can this genre guarantee a blockbuster? Will the audience get bored?"

Jing Jian shook his head with a smile: "Mr. Hu, the 007 series is an anti-Soviet drama, and the Raiders of the Lost Ark series is also an anti-** drama! Indiana Jones is even more magical, and he almost jumps out a few mythical characters, isn't it still the world's best? From the perspective of commercial films, there are no bad genres, only bad screenwriters, directors, and actors. Of course, we can modify the elements that are not suitable for mainland review, but proper artistic processing is necessary. Hanging a tightrope like a Hong Kong martial arts film is definitely not good, then it is not a war of resistance, it has become science fiction. Also, the types of action stars like those in Hong Kong are even worse. Those films mainly highlight the performances of action stars. And the action of our anti-Japanese war drama must be simple and practical, and the style is sharp and tense!"

Hu Juewen was thoughtful, but his previous long-term experience in making revolutionary films made him still hesitate. It's not that there are no excellent works in those revolutionary films, but that the audience doesn't like to watch them and has no confidence in the box office at all.

Seeing this, Jing Jian smiled and said, "Mr. Hu, in this way, can you set up a joint venture film production company first? You all have a 51% stake. ”

"It's definitely fine. "Hu Juewen doesn't have to report to his superiors, he has the right to decide. It is very easy to register a film company in Hong Kong, plus capital verification, handling fees, etc. Even many law firms have a few ready-made ones in their hands, and if you want them, you don't need 10,000 Hong Kong dollars, you can take them right away and transfer them immediately.

Jing Jian continued: "After having the company, Ah Sheng will solve the financing of 20 million Hong Kong dollars for you, with 10 million as a budget, and produce two anti-Japanese war dramas at the same time. ”

"It's too much. Hu Juewen hurriedly and politely, he also has rich experience in producing films, and can basically judge the budget of such films, "Director Jing, if most of the mainland actors and crew are used, 5 million is enough." ”

"First of all, based on 10 million, the budget is more relaxed. It's really a lot of money, and you can start filming three or four at the same time. ”

Hu Juewen nodded, anyway, the more money, the better, and he couldn't dislike it.

Jing Jian continued: "Let's talk about the release. Let's not say who takes advantage and who suffers, two one adds five, and all the benefits are half of the family. Including Hong Kong and Macau, mainland China and overseas. The dividends of investors are all in accordance with the rules. After collecting the issuance ratio of the industry, it will be given to investors. ”

"It's certainly the best. "If that's the case, the Yindu institution is risk-free at all. However, the conditions are too generous, which makes Hu Juewen feel a little unbelievable, "Director Jing, oh, and Ding Sheng, don't blame me for speaking too directly, your seeds are to solve investors and overseas distribution, are you really not afraid of risks? I want to cooperate for a long time, I didn't want to hurt my friends, and finally became a chicken to take eggs." ”

Jing Jian laughed: "Hehe, Mr. Hu, you are a friend enough." In fact, I have already considered that our mainland itself has a group of loyal viewers with feelings for war films. That's no problem, right?" "In fact, there is no need to say that now, even twenty years later, the anti-Japanese war drama is still popular on TV.

Hu Juewen nodded, although he was still not very confident, but at least he agreed with this statement.

Jing Jian continued: "Overseas countries and regions in East Asia and Southeast Asia were also victims of Japanese **** during World War II, and they are also potential audiences. In other markets, not to mention Europe and the United States, at least World War II films from Eastern Europe and the Soviet Union were very popular in China. So why couldn't China's anti-Japanese war films be popular in the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe? It was nothing more than the quality of the films. Therefore, the risk at the box office is actually very small. Anyway, we can try to shoot a few films and see how the market reacts. You can cross the river by feeling the stones!"

"Hehe, that's true. After thinking about it, Hu Juewen suddenly made a request, "Director Jing, I have a reluctant request, can you join in the production of the film? ”

"Hahaha! Jing Jian laughed, "In that case, I will be named a producer." But you can choose the specific producer. ”

"That's it. ”

"Okay, that's it. ”
