Chapter 393: Are You Going to Play a Pig?
The chess and card room finally became a battlefield for women, and Ning Zhiyuan and the others returned to the living room to chat.
After re-brewing the tea, Ning Zhiyuan poured tea for everyone, and Li Xiaoyang found a lighter and lit incense.
After smelling the fragrance and taking a closer look at the tea set, Li Xiaoyang asked suspiciously: "Your tea set looks very charming, what kind of wood is it made of?"
Ning Zhiyuan nodded and replied, "Well, the ebony of Myanmar is not the work of a master. ”
Li Xiaoyang said without seeing it: "I like it a lot, if you want to say that, then it will be surnamed Li from now on." ”
This set of tea sets, the tea tray is an ebony product, the teapot and the teacup are produced in Jingdezhen, and the finished product is less than 30 years old, which can only be regarded as a handicraft. Although it is worth tens of thousands of dollars, the two of them have very rich family backgrounds, and their friendship is also here, so they don't care about this value.
If you really want to talk about it, Ning Zhiyuan is in the antique business, and there are a lot of antiques at home and in the store. Mr. Li has also collected a lot of antiques, and Li Xiaoyang has seen a lot of things like this. I have a rough estimate in my heart, and I know that it won't be too expensive, so I will open my mouth.
Ning Zhiyuan looked at Li Xiaoyang helplessly, deliberately poured him full of tea, and said: "Eat and drink card, you are so skillful in using it, you have to empty my house! Let's go, hurry up!"
The so-called wine is full of respect, and tea is full of people.
Full of wine is respect, full of tea is humiliation.
For example, if you go to your girlfriend's house for the first time, and you are faced with a lot of piping hot tea, if you have a little backbone, then don't drink this tea.
Don't say anything about the test, when someone uses humiliation as a test to you, people already don't agree with you in their hearts.
There are many ways to make jade a good thing, but don't soften your bones!
Li Xiaoyang smiled, didn't care at all, and replied: "You still want to drive me away after winning my money? That's impossible! Besides, if I leave with a tea set, won't you have no tea to drink!"
Ning Zhiyuan moved the cup of full tea in front of him, poured him a new cup, and asked, "Do you have a brother named Blue Mouse?"
Li Xiaoyang was stunned for a moment, blinked his eyes, and replied, "Isn't that you!"
Ning Zhiyuan: "......"
A few jokes, you can see Ning Zhiyuan's character, and you can also see that the relationship between them is very good.
In the entertainment industry, most of them are face projects, and friends who seem to be good on the surface are actually made for the media and fans. In reality, the relationship may not be very good, and there is not even any interaction at all in private.
Chen Chichi said enviously: "Your relationship is so good that it is enviable! Although the two of us have a lot of friends in the circle, there are really few people as close as you." ”
The little cheetah echoed: "Especially in the circle, there are class divisions and status battles, some peers, you know that he is a good person, or it meets your appetite." But for various reasons, I can't be friends. Because as long as you have a close relationship, the media will report indiscriminately and talk about conspiracy theories in a rhythmic manner. ”
Chen Chichi added: "We have all been used by friends in the circle, and Brother Yang should also deeply understand this. ”
Li Xiaoyang smiled: "It's all like this, but my life is better." ”
As the saying goes, if there is an old man in the family, if there is a treasure!
What is a good life? A good life is a good reincarnation!
Although they are all on the same starting line, you can ride a bicycle, but people drive cars.
Not only do you have to put in more effort, but you also have to expect people to be lazy.
Li Xiaoyang did not have such a high pursuit, and twenty years ago, he was a stubborn master who was active in a certain circle in the imperial capital.
If it weren't for the connections and resources in his family, and he needed to work hard for everything, he would not be as free and happy as he is now.
Li Xiaoyang slowed down and continued: "Most of the things you said, we have encountered them. I've suffered losses, and there are some favors that need to be repaid. And some invitations to make cameos or something, you can't be afraid of offending people, you have to refuse if you should refuse. ”
If people want to be famous, they will have all kinds of connections coming to their door.
Today I want you to make a cameo in a movie, and tomorrow I want to make a cameo as a guest.
Some stars don't know what acting skills are at all, and after making cameo appearances in a few movies, they are known as myths in the film industry and poison in the box office industry, all because of face. In the end, it was himself who suffered the most.
In this circle, prudence in words and deeds is a compulsory course.
It never hurts to be cautious.
Chen Chichi said curiously: "I heard that you have a cameo at Mr. Ning?"
Li Xiaoyang said helplessly: "Look, this is the kind of favor I just said, there is no way to refuse." Mr. Ning is not only a local tyrant, but also a talent. In order to get a few songs in his hands, even if it's a bad movie, I have to make a cameo. ”
Ning Zhiyuan rolled his eyes and said, "With such a big investment, are you embarrassed to say it's a bad movie?"
Li Xiaoyang pursed his lips and replied: "For a game's promotional video, you have to invest hundreds of millions, it's really hard for me to imagine what the finished product will look like." ”
Ning Zhiyuan explained: "If you can use the best actors, you will never be perfunctory, and I still want to go back and bring a gift to visit the old actor in your house! Of course, the cast is very important, and the special effects are even more important." Even if it's a promotional video, I'm going to shoot it as a blockbuster!"
"My old Li may not be willing, but if you can convince my mother, then there is probably no problem. Li Xiaoyang retorted: "As for your promotional video, I said last time I talked to you, what you want is nothing more than publicity, and you don't have to invest so much money." Even if you can recoup that investment with the game, you don't have to make that much effort, do you?"
Ning Zhiyuan shook his head and replied: "It is of great strategic significance to grab a good start, and it is not a matter of money or money." Even if we lose money, as our company's first game, we must get a lot of praise in terms of word-of-mouth!"
Li Xiaoyang spread his hands and said, "I don't know what you think about business." So, you can do whatever you want, anyway, I've already promised to make a cameo. If you really succeed, I can be regarded as participating in a promotional film with a reputation that is not weaker than that of a big movie. ”
At the beginning, Ning Zhiyuan planned to invest at least 50 million to shoot this promotional film. Now there are 1 billion lying in the account, so it is naturally a little more refined.
Of course, the special effects still have to be the best special effects, but in the choice of actors, you can find some old actors to make cameos. Especially those actors who participated in the Three Kingdoms film and television dramas and played roles that had a deep impression in the hearts of the audience.
At the same time, the propaganda film can also stretch the timeline! From the beginning of the Yellow Turban Uprising, it can be until the return of the three families!
If you want to do a good job, it's not just as simple as burning money.
It's like shooting a movie, you can't only invest in it, you have to find a director to form a crew, find someone to write a script or something.
When it comes to games, Chen Chichi and the little cheetah are very curious.
If the film investment exceeds 100 million, it is not surprising at all. There are a lot of so-called big productions now, and both of them have had several works.
However, film and television works are very different from promotional films, which are like introductions, and they are game content. If you really want to make it like a movie, it seems that no one in the entire industry has ever played it like this.
Chen Chichi asked curiously: "I think this matter is very interesting, can Mr. Ning talk about it carefully?"
Ning Zhiyuan looked at Chen Chichi and said with a smile: "Of course you can! Our Far Blue game studio wants to make a mobile game that is famous! Not only must we do a good job in the details of the game, but we must also increase publicity and make the game famous before it goes on the market."
It just so happened that we also had an entertainment department, so I asked the two departments to work together to create a mobile game that was great inside and out. ”
Chen Chichi is a fan of games, and his curiosity is relatively heavy: "Ning always wants to create a studio like TM?"
Ning Zhiyuan shook his head and replied: "I won't compare my company with others! Of course, I believe that they are all excellent, and it is not impossible to reach the level of TM or even surpass them." ”
TM was originally a small studio, and it wasn't until Polar Bear bought TM and injected capital that the studio grew by leaps and bounds. In other words, if there is a very good project or group, as long as there is capital to settle in and fully support it, it is really not difficult to think of flying. Because in itself, a more reliable team and corresponding achievements will attract capital to invest.
Far Blue's game studio has a relatively mature team, and the members are all experienced practitioners. On the issue of making games, Ning Zhiyuan believes that they can give full play to their abilities, and they are also confident that they can do even better than Ning Zhiyuan's requirements.
All in all, the game studio is making the game without any difficulties, and everything is progressing in an orderly manner.
What Ning Zhiyuan has to do now is to put more time and energy into the production of promotional videos.
Chen Chichi then asked: "Then the promotional video of this game, would rather than shoot according to the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, or according to the Romance?"
Which path to choose, in fact, Ning Zhiyuan has already made up his mind in his heart.
Ning Zhiyuan replied: "The character stories and most of the plots will be more biased towards the Romance of the Three Kingdoms! Of course, in order to highlight some characters, some changed plots must also be mixed in." ”
Speaking of which, Ning Zhiyuan looked at Li Xiaoyang and continued: "For example, Zhao Yun played by Brother Yang and Xiao Qiao played by Xueya have to be more aggravated. As for the other characters, although there will be some emphasis, it shouldn't be too much. Of course, these things will be left to the screenwriter to worry about when the time comes, and I just need to ensure the interests of my own people. ”
Li Xiaoyang said helplessly: "I'm just going through the motions, and you still add drama to me...... If you really want to add drama, you can add a relationship drama. ”
Ning Zhiyuan replied: "Think beautifully! We didn't shoot according to the romance! Zhao Yun didn't have any emotional scenes, and he didn't know what his wife's name was." ”
Li Xiaoyang said regretfully: "I thought Zhao Yun's wife was Ma Chao's sister Ma Yunlu." ”
Ma Yunlu is a completely fictional character, and it is not from the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, but the Romance rewritten by a literati named Zhou Dahuang during the Republic of China.
This person is also a strange person, because he was dissatisfied with the ending of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, so he wrote one himself.
Zhou Dahuang's brain opened up, which changed the ending of many people in the romance. For example, Xu Shu did not return to Cao, Pang Tong did not die in Luofengpo, Zhou Yu was pro-Shu, and Guan Yu did not lose Jingzhou. However, Adou was assassinated, Sima Yi was also killed by Zhuge Liang with a mine, Cao Pi was defeated and killed, and finally the Three Kingdoms returned to Han.
Looking at it this way, isn't it a bit like the earliest historical overhead in China?
Think about the part where Zhuge Liang blew up Sima Yi.
Zhao Yun was lying on the hillside with a spear: "Regiment Commander! Our mines have been planted, do you think they can take this road?"
Zhuge Liang smiled slightly, shook his fan, and replied calmly: "Lao Tzu expects that there will be big fish on this road!
Zhao Yun replied: "Witty as you, my regiment leader!"
Emmmmm。
The author of this one, Zhou Dahuang, is a fan of Zhao Yun, and Ning Zhiyuan will also add more scenes because Li Xiaoyang plays Zhao Yun.
The relationship is good, there is no rule to go to Ning Zhiyuan's room to study the script.
Ning Zhiyuan said with a smile: "My territory, you have to listen to me." If you perform well, maybe I am in a good mood and inspired to write a good song for you to sing in line with the promotional video. ”
Li Xiaoyang's eyes lit up and said, "Really, I didn't say it, as long as there is a song, let alone emotional drama, it's no problem for you to let me make a substitute!"
"you!" Ning Zhiyuan glanced at him speechlessly, and then continued: "I plan to invite some old actors in the circle to play some important characters, or there are not many scenes, or only a few lines. If you have a referral or recommendation, don't forget to introduce it to me. ”
Several people nodded in agreement, Chen Chichi blinked his eyes and asked, "Mr. Ning, then do you think that if I go to make a cameo, is there a role suitable for me?"
The little cheetah sneered, "Are you going to play a pig?"
Li Xiaoyang echoed: "It may also be a horse! It is the little horse that is praised under Zhiling's care!"
Chen Chichi smiled: "You are all jealous of this genius! However, Mr. Ning, I really think that the promotional video of this game, if you shoot it like this, will be very interesting!"
Ning Zhiyuan smiled and said: "What we are pursuing is to leave a deep impression in everyone's hearts! It has both the heaviness and logic of domestic historical dramas, and the sensory experience of blockbusters in the United States." ”
As soon as the voice changed, Ning Zhiyuan said: "Although it is still in the preparatory stage, I still very much welcome you and the little cheetah to play a cameo role." ”
As long as it is not a role throughout the play, with the acting skills of these two, it is still not easy to play.
Besides, they are also A-list stars, and inviting them to join in a cameo role is also the icing on the cake for the entire promotional film.
Li Xiaoyang raised his arm and put it on Chen Chiba's shoulder, and said: "Hundreds of millions of productions! All kinds of old drama bones joined! Excellent crew! Exquisite props! The most important thing is the special effects support comparable to the blockbuster of the United States! Do you want to try it too?"
Chen Chichi rolled his eyes and said, "That's not what you said just now!"
Li Xiaoyang gritted his teeth and smiled: "Isn't there still a good song waiting for me!"
Chen Chichi had the heart to befriend Ning Zhiyuan, thought about it, and replied: "I have no problem! But you have to tell me in advance what role you want to play and the filming time." If there is a difference of opinion, we will communicate with each other at that time. ”
The little cheetah also said: "That's what I mean, although it's just a cameo, it's best to be a character that conforms to our external image." Look at my appearance, temperament and figure, is there a shadow of Zhou Yu?"
Ning Zhiyuan shook his head and replied, "Zhou Yu can't do it! Zhou Yu has been booked in advance by one of Xueya's sisters. ”
“……”X3。
