Fanwai 2 "Mountains and Seas: The Great Wilderness".
After Yang Ruyi paved a lot of groundwork, she didn't need to do anything more, and all kinds of self-media washes appeared:
"It is rumored that Ji Ming has proposed to Chu Qing!"
"The most romantic agreement: After winning the Chai Award, Chu Qing finally accepted Ji Ming's marriage proposal!"
Chu Qing was hired by the Berlin Philharmonic, and Chuan and Ji Ming purchased the Love Nest in Berlin. β
β......β
These are relatively restrained, and there are even more unreliable:
"The small belly is slightly convex, and after winning the firewood award, Chu Qing is suspected of being pregnant. β
Foreign media said that the sound of the early Qing qin contained a bright maternal brilliance, and Ji Ming suspected that he would marry his son. β
"The second generation of the strongest star is coming!"
It may involve major good things in life, even though the people around Ji Ming usually don't ask him for gossip, he didn't hold back this time. Especially a group of middle-aged and elderly women, such as Zhou Shaohong, Bai Feng, Chen Shu and Wen Yan of Mandarin.
Are you sure?
Pregnant?
How many months?
Having a baby now?
Do you know men and women?
In addition to them, many insiders who have become parents also feel that they have a common topic with Ji Ming, and they come up with "This newborn child......
Ji Ming was also in a cold sweat, the marriage proposal was indeed proposed, but it had not been proven. As for the children, that's something out of the plan. Whether it is him or Chu Qing, in the next few years, he will inevitably have to make some concessions for his career. Needless to say, Ji Ming himself has been trained in the two successful art films of "Falling to the Immortals" and "Silence", Tiancheng Culture is getting involved in a wider range of film and television production investment, and the special effects commercial blockbuster "Mountains and Seas" series has officially begun to advance, although there is very little news from the outside world and it is also very cautious, but within the high-level of the film and television investment circle, this initially three-part series has been put in a very high position.
To use a very cheesy way of contrasting, it is China's "Lord of the Rings" and "Pirates of the Caribbean".
Its investment is so large that Ji Ming's previous works do not have - including the first blockbuster in film history like "The Wandering Earth", in terms of investment, it is not top-notch. "Mountains and Seas" is Ji Ming's first work with big actors, big productions, big investments, and big expectations, and it is also a way that many people are more familiar with, the kind of return on investment that is often hundreds of thousands, and only gamblers will pursue it.
This time, the old club Xitian Film and Television can only be stained with light, except for Ji Ming's Tiancheng Culture, the other investors who have been contacted are all giants, the Internet, and the central prefix, and those who have cooperated in the industry, such as light, Beijing culture, China Film...... all made it clear that participation is the first, regardless of the share - there is a big man with a very heavy weight, who has stepped back from the first line of the film and the second line, and said: "There is a little bit of a general battle, whether the Chinese commercial blockbuster pattern starting from "Hero" can make a new leap may depend on this film. β
This time Ji Ming will also introduce European investors, "Mo" has set off a sweeping trend in Europe, and Chinese drama has finally opened a gap that is not particularly narrow in the dull European market. Ji Ming's personal appeal is enough to make many European investors willing to bet on him in the field of commercial films - after all, the European commercial film market has always been a place for Hollywood, and local European producers have nothing to do.
Under the flat waves, the surging dark tide made almost everyone take their breath away.
At this time, Ji Ming said that he was going to be a daddy - unless God wanted to arrange a daddy text for him, it could not be ruled out that someone would give Chu Qing musk sachets, safflower agarwood and the like, and play a palace fight.
What's more, in addition to the new movie, Ji Ming's rollout in the field of musicals is also in a critical period of time, although for some reasons, the plan was slightly postponed for a while, but it also happened to give them a relatively long time to train and improve the overall artistic level of the actors. As one of the few non-government-run non-comedy large-scale troupes in China, if you want to continue to go down, it is definitely not possible to rely on a "Silence", and it is certainly not possible to rely on messy luck, on the basis of a fairly high artistic level, to create a unique performance style and temperament that belongs to the troupe itself, which is the only way for the Silent Lake Troupe to move towards a century-old classic.
After the hustle and bustle of "Mo", the precipitation of these months is actually very beneficial in the long run, and - anyway, Ji Ming has money, and he is not in a hurry to find food.
Needless to say, Ji Ming's busyness is not much said, Chu Qing is actually similar, the gold content of the Chai Award is very high, especially she is also a performer across Russia and Germany, which is quite recognized in Europe, and some top art institutions have been recommended one after another, plus the public, Ji Ming has helped her bless some commercial value, it can be said that she is also a star performer ranked very high in the field of classical performance.
In China, it is even more so, the circle is already small, and closed, she is a disciple of Master Lu, a descendant of the wealthy Yang Yin, and the first domestic performer to win the Chai Gold Award.
In such a background, she really can't prepare to be a new mother.
So when the whole world was discussing their cubs, the two parties knew that Ji Ming's cubs could only die before they could be born.
......
The gloom cleared and the sun shone.
Lao Chen, an entertainment reporter who has been squatting in Tiancheng Culture all year round, took a deep breath of fresh air and felt extraordinarily sweet, I don't know if Tao felt this when he got off the plane in the United States......
"Lao Chen, Lao Chen, look over there. β
"What's wrong?" Lao Chen subconsciously turned the camera over: "Who did you see?"
"Zhu Heyan is here, and he is the one who succeeds Gao Xiaosong. β
"The big boss of Ma's father's entertainment company?"
"Yes, oh my God," Lao Chen's colleague's eyes became brighter and brighter, and he waved his hand vigorously: "Finally let us squat to a big news." β
Lao Chen is also mentally shocked, you must know that squatting in Tiancheng culture is completely a gamble, a lot of work Ji Ming will not necessarily be done in Tiancheng, he does not come to Tiancheng for much time, most of the time Yang Ruyi is in charge of everything, Tiancheng Big Three is now slowly becoming famous in the industry, basically able to handle all things.
As more and more characters squatted, Lao Chenhe's heart was also pounding wildly.
They finally realized that Ji Ming's new film project, which has been rumored in the industry for a long time, is finally about to show its eyebrows. In the past few months, because of everyone's joint lockdown, not a single real material has been let out, but the specious rumors can't be stopped, some say that one billion is invested, some say that all kinds of gods star, from the ancient goddess of Hong Kong and Taiwan, to the current top superstar, all have been guessed once, and there are also said that the impact of the single film box office of 10 billion, the impact of the global film history box office list...... How sensational how to come.
As an insider, Lao Chen is a little disdainful, many things are not something that can be done with money, nor can a Ji Ming do it, and foreigners don't buy it, which is a deep-rooted stereotype, just like our reluctance to watch African blockbusters.
However, after Baba Entertainment Mr. Zhu, Mr. Wu of Penguin Film and Television, La Dong of China Film, as well as the heads of Kiwi and Goose Videos, as well as the familiar Light Lao Wang, the old Song of Beijing Culture, plus the leaders of the Cultural Radio and Television Line, and even a senior official in a certain province and a leader in a certain city that they didn't recognize...... But looking at it, it looks very imposing - Lao Chen has to think, are those rumors true?
And he's a little worried now, such a big battle, I don't know if I can report it - hurry up and call the club to report, and the station will let them shoot first, but don't spread it for the time being, wait for the order.
Ji Ming soon received a call from the editor-in-chief of a major newspaper.
Such a random time can be photographed - Ji Ming asked Yang Ruyi, and Manager Yang nodded without much thought. "Mountains and Seas" is definitely a regular project, a lot of attention and discussion is unavoidable, such a large formation, it is not something that Tiancheng can fully control, so according to the rhythm, this time begins to build momentum, and the time is just right.
So at the beginning of the recovery of all things in the country, an exclusive instant report blew up the entertainment industry, the financial sector, and the cultural and media fields.
β...... So many heavyweights in the industry gathered in Tiancheng Culture, and Ji Ming himself also appeared after many months. This can't help but make people sound the previous rumors about Ji Ming's new movie.
The reporter of this newspaper summarized the previous rumors, and if they are true, they can probably outline the outline of this new film. This is a special effects commercial series about traditional classical mythology, with a huge investment and many participants, including A-Li Entertainment, Penguin Films, and several major video platforms. It is expected that there will also be foreign investors, and there are sporadic rumors that the international streaming giant Netflix will also participate in the investment, but there is no empirical evidence at this time......
The film is confirmed to be starring Ji Ming, and there will also be a number of new and old well-known actors to participate, and Tiancheng Culture under his name will be the main investment and control, and the international top production team...... Benchmarking Western series of movies such as "The Lord of the Rings", "Pirates of the Caribbean" and "Harry Potter".
There is no doubt that this is Ji Ming's new attempt at commercial films, after achieving many documentary achievements at the box office and art, he seeks a replicable commercial path, no longer relying on dark horse success, and a production model based on large investment and strong team will have greater rationality to give birth to a considerable box office. In addition, after "Mo" successfully went to sea, won hundreds of millions of dollars at the box office overseas and had an excellent reputation, Ji Ming expanded this exploration to the field of commercial films, and the long-term proposition of domestic films going global, Ji Ming has completed half of it, and the results are remarkable.
......β
The entertainment industry, which has been silent for several months, ushered in the first real fierce news, although there are many doubters, after all, the so-called domestic special effects blockbuster is indeed mixed, but on the whole, thousands of words, positive and negative, all converge into the last sentence:
I still want to believe in Ji Ming, and I sincerely hope that he can do it. β
The film and television big V "Watermelon Watching Movies", which is usually quite harsh on domestic movies:
β...... Seeing this news, it is difficult to put into words. In fact, I really don't want Ji Ming to make this kind of movie, he is very good at making a fresh movie like "Immortals", and it is better to make a movie like "Mo" that is almost dazzling and goes straight to the heart, including science fiction films like "The Wandering Earth", and Chinese comics like "Nezha", which are actually very good - but domestic special effects blockbusters, this is really a huge pit.
In the past 20 years of Chinese special effects blockbusters, including "Painted Skin" and "Looking for the Dragon", which are still good, "Kung Fu" is as unique as "Kung Fu", and even "Wuji" and "The Legend of the Demon Cat" by Cheng Kaige are so controversial, no film can say that I have made a peak, no! Today, when it comes to domestic special effects blockbusters, it is still "Hero", not because it is good, but because it is early.
So when I heard that there was a new domestic blockbuster to be done, my first reaction was, wasting money, wasting time, wasting life, except for the fact that it made sense to grab the domestic market with Hollywood, everything else was given for nothing.
However, Ji Ming turned out to be Ji Ming.
Even if reason tells me that Ji Ming can't change the world by himself, emotionally, I am indeed willing to expect Ji Ming to create a new miracle. After all, he has created a lot of miracles, and even made art films to the European box office of hundreds of millions of euros, and it seems not surprising that he can do other things.
So I should prepare a ticket, not for domestic production, not for special effects, not for blockbusters, just for Ji Ming, I hope he won't let me down. β
"+1, I haven't watched domestic production for many years, and I prepared a ticket for Ji Ming, which can be regarded as thanking him for filming "Mo". β
- "Yo Yo Niu beep, Ji Ming has to thank you in person for this ticket, cut." β
"I don't know where the sense of superiority comes from, Ji Ming's existence itself, doesn't it slap your face with your attitude towards domestic films? He is a domestic filmmaker, the movies he makes are domestic movies, and he was born from this land. β
"I was slapped in the face, but I didn't forget to pretend to beep. β
A conventional war, and so on......
But frankly speaking, equating Ji Ming's achievements with the level of domestic films may not be a good thing for the development of domestic films - Beijing and Shanghai are developed, and it cannot be said that the whole country is developed, right, on average, it is still relatively poor
Tan Wei, a professor of communication at Beijing Normal University, also made it clear in an interview with the media: "Now it is too early to say that domestic films have already answered half of the papers when they go out." At present, the recognition of European audiences, or overseas audiences, for Chinese films like "Mo" is not really a change of attitude towards Chinese films, but only a change of attitude towards Ji Ming - so it is Ji Ming who rushes out of Asia and goes to the world, not domestic films that go to the world. We should be soberly aware of this.
Of course, in general, this is also a logical process β assuming that all goes well. A leader and pathfinder like Ji Ming, with his amazing talent and appeal, shook the stereotypes of Westerners, making them begin to accept film and television stories of different cultures and different skin colors, and then truly and actively accept Chinese films. This process will inevitably be accompanied by the increase of our national strength and influence, which is the foundation, just like our film and television dramas are exported to Southeast Asia and Africa, but it is difficult to go to Europe and the United States, and the film and television dramas of the Caucasian race in Europe and the United States come to China, and they are not necessarily unadaptable, this is the trend of strength and weakness, everyone is essentially more willing to accept the things of the strong side, and there is no way.
Now it's up to Ji Ming to see if he can take a step ahead, when our national strength and influence have not yet reached that step, we can promote the change of Western audiences in advance, which is a very difficult thing, in fact, including "Silence" is also very magical, we who do research discuss it, and we think it is incredible, why it can be so popular in Europe, so recognized, many reasons may not be so convincing- Some experts estimate that this situation may occur in 10 or 20 years, or even 30 or 50 years, before it is easier to understand.
So, in the final analysis, it may be that Ji Ming's personal ability and experience are too legendary. I also look forward to him going further and bringing more surprises. β
This kind of statement is very popular, and the Chinese still recognize this kind of heroic narrative - the sky does not give birth to Zhongni, and the eternal times are like long nights.
"Actually, it's Ji Ming's human BUG. β
"There is no reason to talk about it, who can be like Ji Ming, in order to make a movie, to be able to learn dance to the level of a top dancer, my mentor, who is also a very famous British dancer, after watching the "Silent Lake" in "Silence", asked me if Ji Ming is one of the best dancers in China, I said that he is a drama actor, and he learned dance in order to make movies, my teacher didn't believe it at all, saying that I was exaggerating. Ji Ming's level, at his age, even if he starts practicing for more than ten hours a day when he is young, it is an incredible achievement. β
- "Really, in order to sing a musical, aren't you also a top singer?"
- "Drama, Musical, Film...... Not to mention that. This kind of human bug is born to break the impossible. β
- "As a fan of Ji Ming, I saw the news that he got married and had children or something, and I was not angry at all, I expected him to give birth to a few cubs quickly, and he would be talented at a young age, so that foreigners' eyes fell out, and he and Chu Qing's children must be very good-looking, Mom, I feel that the world is going to be better." β
Compared with these various, professional, and academic discussions, the people who eat melons are very happy to see - anyway, even if you spend money, if you have a bad movie, if you don't let you lose to death, I will lose!!
"In fact, there is still little money spent, those so-called hundreds of millions of investments have been taken away by the stars and directors, and the money really spent on special effects and scripts is not so much. This time, Ji Ming invested in his own acting, and the salary was saved, and he has always attached importance to the script, and he understands both Chinese and foreign, so he will not make those low-level mistakes, plus Ji Ming's aesthetics are cold and noble, and he can't watch the special effects for five cents, so it's completely worth looking forward to. β
- "That is, the salary level of foreigners is much higher than ours, and we can do several times more things than them for the same money." Ji Ming's movie can make a multi-billion box office outside, and the cost can be borne at a high cost. β
"Made, finally let Lao Tzu wait for a real domestic special effects blockbuster? Lao Tzu is going to witness history again?"
"I want to see it, I want to see it. β
Ji Ming pulled Liu Ran and them to shoot together, ancient myths are nothing more than gods, three emperors and five emperors, the Classic of Mountains and Seas, Journey to the West, White Snake, etc...... There are a lot of characters to look for. β
"The kind of elf clan in "The Lord of the Rings" is very good, the man is handsome and the woman is beautiful, the green leaves and his father are even more beautiful in the world, and there are also legends in our country, such as the merman, such as the nine-tailed fox or something, make one out, and I am excited when I think about it. β
The topic spread rapidly, and from the words "ancient mythology" in the report, everyone's speculation emerged endlessly - with speculation, the media had something to ask people.
Liu Ran, as a friend in Ji Ming's circle, was asked very early on whether he would appear or not, and whether he had any contact.
In fact, there is, and it is basically set, Liu Ran is also arranging the schedule, but this can't be said yet, Liu Ran showed his tiger teeth, and replied with a simple smile: "Wait until I ask him, the dragon set can always arrange one for me." β
"So you're going to get involved, aren't you?"
"The dragon set is also considered to be involved, right? What about delivering a boxed lunch? ha. β
Although people are young, they are also veterans when Tai Chi fights.
In addition to Liu Ran, Hu Xu, Yi Qian, Zhang Cheng, and even Qin Jianci, Chu Xiao, Zuer, Li Lan...... These young artists who have cooperated, even come into contact with and are more familiar with, were also asked. Relatively speaking, those regular top performers will be a little more embarrassed, because they are really not familiar with Ji Ming, and Ji Ming rarely has the opportunity to cooperate with them - but the media will not let them go, they will still ask, spread, and even make up, and it is more difficult for them to answer.
Flatly deny it?ββ but there is still a little expectation in my heart, what if I deny it and deny the possibility?
vague?ββ afraid of being scolded and rubbing the heat.
Ignore it?ββ maybe you'll be angry tomorrow.
In short, it's complicated.
In addition to these people in the film and television industry, listed companies in the field of film and television culture have been asked the most frequently asked question recently - "Does the company participate in Ji Ming's new film project", "Does it have the opportunity to participate?", "Will it have a positive impact on performance?"
Those who can participate, such as light, of course, will show the carriage and horses - "Since "Nezha's Demon Boy Descends to the World", I have maintained a good cooperative relationship with Ji Ming, and I am optimistic about further cooperation." The Beijing culture, which has huge performance pressure, is also rare to straighten up - "The company has cooperated with Ji Ming on many works, and both parties are very satisfied, and they have also maintained close contact with the cooperation of new film and television projects, which is worth looking forward to." β
If you can't participate, you can talk about it - "I believe that with the advancement of related projects, the industry market will have the opportunity to heat up, and the company will also benefit from the overall rebound of the industry." "The company is also currently promoting film and television drama projects with traditional mythological themes, which are expected to receive more attention. "The company will strive for more cooperation opportunities with top artists, including Ji Ming, to improve performance. β
The wind suddenly blows a pool of spring water.
Driven by this news, the recovery of the film and television culture field has also begun with difficulty and firmness.
......
Tiancheng Culture.
"Ladies and gentlemen, it really makes my heart beat when you say that. Ji Ming listened to a wave of praise from the CEOs of major companies, and Yang Ruyi also introduced what should have been introduced, and when it was his turn to speak, he was also telling the truth: "Before doing this project, it was completely considered that Tiancheng still lacked a more profitable sustainable project, so I made some attempts in the field of series of commercial films, but I didn't expect it to cause such a big wave, and I didn't sleep for several days." β
"It's a matter of luck. Zhongying's La Dong also wrote a crepe: "So Ji Ming, you should also be responsible, everyone trusts you, and they will do their best to help you, there is no reason not to succeed." β
"You have to make Ji Ming can't sleep today," Penguin's Mr. Wu pretended to be Ji Ming's acquaintance at this time, after all, the two sides have collaborated on two films: "This pressure, I feel scared when I think about it." Movies are not the most difficult things to do at the box office, the difficult thing is word-of-mouth, how the audience says and evaluates things after seeing them, it can't be controlled. And word-of-mouth is a thing, it takes three or five films to build up, but it only takes one bad movie to collapse, and even a film that is not good enough can cause huge damage, and it takes several times more effort to make up for it.
Ji Ming's reputation today looks amazing, but it is really not unbreakable. β
Mr. Song of Beijing Culture also agreed: "You have to be careful." β
"Success or failure is a common thing," Mr. Wang of the light looked at Ji Ming: "Anyway, what I value is not Ji Ming's reputation or anything, I just believe in this person, this person's attitude towards making movies, your ability, your focus, I believe that no matter whether it is success or failure this time, you will succeed after all." So Boss Ji, as long as you are willing, we will definitely have many opportunities to cooperate in the future, this time is the beginning, there is no need to put too much pressure. β
"Boss Ji's movie kingdom, even if it is going to collapse, it will not collapse on one or two movies, we have confidence in you. β
"Although you let it go, we thank you, and if you don't succeed, you should pay for the ticket for future cooperation, which we have. β
β......β
The big and small bosses are really nice people and speak well.
La Dong glanced around, and his heart was a little smacked, of course he was sitting in the C position and was old, and it was inevitable that he would unconsciously want to suppress the upper-headed, but he didn't deliberately want to do anything. But everyone's recognition of Ji Ming still made him quite frightened.
As speculated by the outside world, the total actual production investment of the "Mountains and Seas" trilogy is as high as more than 4 billion, more than 500 million US dollars, which means that the global theater box office of the series must reach at least 1.5 billion US dollars, that is, more than 10 billion yuan.
Such a big project is definitely not a trivial matter for the film and television production industry where the market is not in a recession, and everyone can entrust Ji Ming so much, almost by him alone, which really makes Ladong's heart complicated.
What is power, this is the real power - beyond the rank, position, seniority and other factors, punch and kick out of the world.
"Then thank you for your trust in advance," Ji Ming didn't panic after saying the scene: "The film will be produced in three to five years, and the investment is not in place in one step, and your pressure will not be as great as you imagined, of course, I hope that the investment share in your hands will not only not bring a financial burden to everyone, but it is best to become the ballast stone of various companies." β
How confident!
This investment right can protect the last drop of your company's blood.
Of course, no one will think he is arrogant at this time, the more arrogant he is, the more reassuring it is, and Ji Ming really needs to further strengthen their confidence: "The main special effects production is still based on the domestic team, but it will absorb some of the personnel of the international leading team, so that the cost performance will be higher, and the level of domestic computer engineers, I think it is not inferior to any country, the difference may be the aesthetic foundation, this part of the team will be another team."
In addition, the derivation of the worldview is a top priority, mythological studies, archaeology, clothing civilization, behavior, ...... And so on these complex fields, we will have a strong team, the outside say that we want to do ancient mythology, of course, this is good, but I think we should still have more ambition and sense of mission, not only to use these cultural treasures, but also to enrich it, to embody it, to exert creativity, to create a mythical world that everyone has not seen, only exists in the imagination of countless Chinese.
It has extremely subtle details, rich and charming structure, an appearance that matches the imagination and surpasses the imagination, a clear and simple and thick story chain, it must have a strong epic, convincing behavioral logic, and emotional resonance throughout ancient and modern China and foreign countries...... As a matter of fact, I and Beijing University will promote the preliminary preparation work to be submitted as a major national social science fund project, and promote this work with the highest standard of academic spirit.
Of course, the movie will eventually return to the story and the audience, which will test our script creation ability, I will lead the team to make the script, I have also worked hard to learn the script logic of many successful commercial films in the past few months, it should be said that there are still some experiences, plus the screenwriting team, other experienced teachers from home and abroad, the script, we are still very confident.
So in terms of specific production......"
Ji Ming talked in general terms for nearly two hours, from the world background to the technical framework, from the script to the shooting, from the profession to the market...... Almost all aspects have been talked about, and there is no need for others to ask questions, they have talked about Ji Ming who they thought of, and Ji Ming who they didn't expect has also talked about it - during the rest of the past few months, Ji Ming has obviously achieved a thick degree of work with the assistance of koi.
Leave everyone in awe.
That's ability!
The success or failure of a project is unpredictable, but some projects can get huge investment early on, and some projects are stillborn, the difference is the persuasiveness of the preliminary work - Ji Ming's "Mountains and Seas" series, obviously there is no progress in this step.
From this moment on, many people's hearts have been let go of most of them, not that they are sure to win, but that their work has been done to this extent, and it is not a crime of war to fail, but also fate.
After resting for a while, Yang Ruyi took over and opened a top-secret document, which is a provisional synopsis of the three "Mountains and Seas": "The first part is tentatively named "Mountains and Seas: The Great Wilderness", the second "Mountains and Seas: Qingqiu Divine Clan", and the third "Mountains and Seas: Central Country". The protagonist Yuan is a human race living in the Great Wilderness, he grew up with the divine bird Phoenix and others, but as time passed, the shadow and darkness came, and the divine beasts and spiritual creatures in the Great Wilderness began to mutate, or grew a lot of arms, or a dragon head and a human body, or a tiger body and a dog head, and the personality became tyrannical and weird...... Phoenix guides Yuan to go to the Great Wilderness to find the saint, and the first part is the chronicle of this way. The second part revolves around the Qingqiu Fox Country, which is a local attack and defense, as well as a further pursuit of the black hand behind the scenes that distorts the world of mountains and seas...... The third part is the story of Yuan arriving in the central place with the help of everyone and the Qingqiu Fox Kingdom, the two armies facing each other, uniting the Qingqiu Fox Country, the Great Wilderness Sage, and the people of hundreds of countries at home and abroad, and the story of the decisive battle with the big boss 'Negative of Heaven and Earth', establishing the Central Country, so that the north and south of the mountains, and the east and west of the Great Wilderness will return to peace......"
Most of the people here are Chinese, and some foreigners can also listen to the world view of the Lord of the Rings - the story itself is not complicated, nor can it be complicated, a commercial special effects blockbuster, the story is basically finished as soon as it is complicated, especially it has plans to go to sea.
The important thing is to be fluent, and it must match many of the audience's existing impressions - for example, the Qingqiu Protoss is of course handsome and beautiful, and the mythical beast Phoenix cannot be a black crow......
β...... From our philosophical point of view, yin and yang are born together, this big boss is the negative of heaven and earth, so it should not be completely destroyed?"
"It's too early to say that. β
Mr. Song smiled and nodded: "Yes." β
In fact, they are certainly interested in these specific things, and the more they know, the greater the sense of participation. But few people will feel that they are very important and critical, after all, compared to Ji Ming, they don't think that they can do a better job of controlling the content, otherwise there is no need to let Ji Ming take control.
"The key is to make a good picture," La Dong also let go of his guard at this time: "I look at the gap at home and abroad, a large part of it is still in the picture, those monsters made by foreigners, fortresses, it looks like there is indeed a lot of texture, the money in this area is still willing to spend, and someone has to have a high enough and strict vision, Ji Ming, you are the best in this regard." β
"They all complain about the five-cent special effects, haha. β
"The angry man is not a five-cent special effect," La Dong shook his head: "It is a special effect of five cents for 50 million, that is, the aesthetic taste is low, plus our mythology is too mysterious, unlike foreigners who are relatively simple, take the dragon as an example, you look at "The Lord of the Rings", "Game of Thrones", it is a fire-breathing flying monster, but what about our dragon, the dragon sees the head but does not see the tail, and it is the clouds and fog, and the water and rain, and the dragon king of the four seas, plus the appearance of the nine dislikes, it is too complicated. And a lot of animated images, game images are messed up, how to make a textured and convincing dragon image, it's very, very difficult. β
Including Ji Ming, everyone is nodding, ancient mythology is a magnificent treasure trove, but it has been smeared too much, and the difficulty has long reached the hell level, one of the keys to the success of the "Mountains and Seas" series is actually whether they can convince the audience that they have made a mythical world that is advanced and ornamental enough.
It's not okay to be mysterious, it's not okay to be pretty, and it's not okay to be weird and vicious...... It should be mysterious and understandable, it should be as heavy as a thousand jun and not frivolous, it should be eccentric and unfathomable, and it should be vicious and noble and cold...... It's hard and hard.
The others thought about it for a few circles, and they had to leave it to Ji Ming.
Ji Ming looked at those eyes, yes, leave it to the koi.
A tail whipped you to death.
This communication meeting that lasts all day can be said to be very efficient, the upper level must be, and the lower level will do things much smoother, and the manpower, material resources, and relationships and contacts are all rumbling operation.
Ji Ming is in charge of everything, Yang Ruyi is the secretary general of the work, the other two of the Tiancheng Big Three, Tang Fan is the deputy secretary general in charge of internal and external communication, Lin Ran is the deputy secretary general in charge of combat construction, and the rest of the units have a vice president in the secretariat as a member...... The organizational structure was successfully set up, and the signals released to the outside world were clear and clear.
No matter how many strong dragons are soaking in this pool of water, it is Tiancheng who is still responsible, and Ji Ming leads the three giants of Tiancheng to fully promote this aircraft carrier-level project in the history of domestic film and television production. On the side of the aircraft carrier, hundreds of boats are competing for the current, and the film and television industry has a sign of revival of the hidden dragon out of the abyss.
......
"Oops, I simply risked my life to come here," Tan Ziyang looked nervous.
Zhou Xin cut off: "Then your life is really shaky." β
Zhou Xin's "Peerless Double Pride" was broadcast a few days ago, the platform is very good, Yangba, but the splash is not big, and even the protagonist has no movement, Sensei said that he is a newcomer who doesn't know how many times. But Zhou Xin saw it instead, in his words, he paid so much, his body and mind were ruined, and in the end, what he got was a few circles of ripples, why bother, it was better to climb slowly, as Ji Ming's roommate and friend, many people were still willing to give him face.
Especially now that Ji Ming is holding the banner of the king of the film and television industry, how many companies are fighting bravely under him.
For example, the national social science fund project in cooperation with Beijing University, Beijing Normal University, and the Institute of History has more than 300 million yuan, plus the supporting facilities invested horizontally, which is 500 million yuan.
Another example is that the real scene construction chose a certain province in central China, the crew invested a part, and the local area also invested a part, after all, the follow-up benefits should be very considerable - not to mention the Chinese version of Disney and Universal Studios, such as the filming location of "The Lord of the Rings" in New Zealand, the filming location of Pirates of the Caribbean in Dominica, etc., the tourism benefits brought by it, and the improvement of the city's image are all mouth-watering.
And then there are almost all the special effects companies in China that are vying to participate in the project, and they also have to invest themselves to ensure competitiveness.
Not to mention the continuous stimulation of the secondary market by the project process, which has driven a huge amount of capital in and out.
The capital storm that can be driven by projects at the level of Wang Qi cannot be ignored even at the top - employment, consumption, investment, and GDP......
Zhou Xin's two small roles can only be regarded as a little ripple brought by the edge of the flag, after he realized this, it was actually difficult to cling to anything, and what turned over the river and the sea was actually just a small water nest next to the vast ocean.
Tan Ziyang ignored Zhou Xin and looked at Ji Ming: "You are really doing something big this time, the movement on the surface is not so violent, but the bottom is too deep." I don't even dare to tell others that I want to eat with you, otherwise believe it or not, the whole game today must be an uninvited guest with a smile on the face. β
How could Ji Ming not believe it, and shook his head: "I can't help myself, others must give it all kinds of meanings, and many times it is not something I can control." Now I look forward to this wave of passing, everyone is normal, let's return to our own position. Forget it, don't talk about me, I'm tired of it, what about you?
"No, didn't I restart work before, I hurriedly found a group, and I stayed for several months. After that, I haven't joined the group yet, and there aren't so many groups looking for me. "Tan Ziyang is quite content, the market is not good, he can still have a job, and even take a step forward, it is not easy.
Compared with Zhou Xin's hovering in place, Tan Ziyang's climbing from the era of Chinese opera can be regarded as fruitful, and the reputation in the circle has gradually been established, and it belongs to the corner that can carry the drama - in a good work, there must be a faΓ§ade, such as big coffee, such as traffic, and there must also be people who carry the drama, the so-called backbone actors in the circle refer to these people. For them, going down step by step is the backbone of the drama, and they are veritable first-line good actors, tempering dozens of plays, and then winning a weighty award, or a few roles that are deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and this road will not be wronged.
Wang Wei, who has never spoken, looks a lot richer, he is basically not in front of the screen, and in the past two years, he has gradually had some ideas: "I was the dubbing director of a film before, and I felt very interesting, and I also did the planning of a radio drama, many things are very fresh, if I have a good opportunity in the future, maybe I can also make my own animated movie, the rise of Guoman, haha." β
Everyone toasted a lot for Wang Wei to finally have a trace of career.
It's not easy, I'm almost going home to inherit Wanguan's family wealth.
"Hey, how are you and your family?" Tan Ziyang asked casually: "The surname is Chen, right?"
Wang Wei snorted: "Are you just waiting for us to share it? Do you have any thoughts about me? 10,000 years of single dogs." β
β......β
It seems that they are really together, quite affectionate, not bad.
Everyone big and small are mixed in this circle, ups and downs, Ji Ming is above, and a lot of scenery is told to the other three people, and they all feel that the height is really high. Below, they talked about the joys and hardships of ordinary insiders, which also added a bit of groundedness to Ji Ming - gradually, everyone seemed to have returned to the Chinese opera campus again, going out high and low, entering the door to grab the toilet and fight for spicy strips, they were all the same people.
"Lao Yao's play is about to be performed, do you know?" Tan Ziyang suddenly remembered.
Yao Chengduo entered Renyi, and his development is also very good, he estimated that he hesitated for a long time before, but he still mentioned it to Ji Ming and acted in a new play, which is not a big drama in Renyi, but it is his first leading role drama, which is of great significance, please go and see it if Ji Ming has time.
Ji Ming plans to go.
"Are you going?"
They all shook their heads, only to know that it was just a topic - Tan Ziyang wanted to go, but his schedule was not suitable, and he couldn't change his schedule specifically to watch the play. Zhou Xin, Wang Wei and Yao Chengduo, that is, general friends, it seems unnecessary to take the time to watch.
"You're going, so let's go and have a look. β
"Okay, when the time comes, I'm going to go to Renyi to see the actors," Ji Ming revealed a big news, "Mountains and Seas" has begun casting, after a huge amount of preliminary work, this world-renowned masterpiece is finally about to start entering the fast lane, casting, filming live-action actors, and then fully enter post-production, it may be a year, or a little more, "Mountains and Seas: The Great Wilderness" will be able to meet the audience.
When the cup was unveiled, I was extremely excited.
"Go to the art selection?"
"It's not just Renyi, I hope to look for it from various theater companies to see if we can find the most suitable special effects actors. β
"Imitate the old version of "Journey to the West"?" Wang Wei was the first to realize and asked.
Ji Ming nodded with a smile: "Since there is this condition, take advantage of it, instead of finding some related households, it is better to go to each group and invite some young and middle-aged teachers, whether it is expressiveness or reliability, it will definitely be much better." β
"That's for sure, you don't want to think about it, how many people can go to these groups with the prefix of the country, the prefix of the central character, and the prefix of the Beijing character?"
Ji Ming smiled: "When the time comes, pick out Lao Yao and let him play a turtle." β
"Hahahaha. β
There was a burst of unscrupulous laughter, and Yao Chengduo, who was far away in the rehearsal of a new play, felt a chill behind him, and he didn't know what it was for, as if he had hit a ghost.
......
Ji Ming really didn't mean to be joking, for a period of time, he went from house to house, drama, opera, song and dance...... didn't miss it all, staring at people everywhere in front of the cast, and inviting people when they stared at it. In addition, the composers of the Central Yin, Alto, and Song and Dance Theaters were also screened by him - Chu Qing said that he was engaged in a simple version of "concentrating on big things", Ji Ming was right, those people put so much significance on him, and with so many relationships, he didn't have to use it in vain, anyway, it was not his own favor, but he could save a few personal debts for himself, why not.
By the time he pulled the team into the group, it was already mid-September, and after six months of filming in the cold and summer, the film entered the full post-stage, and the release schedule was neither in the summer nor in the Spring Festival, but in the National Day file - so all the evils were changed and a good National Day file was automatically vacated.
......
Ji Ming and Chu Qing haven't seen each other for almost two months, although Chu Qing had seen Ji Ming's appearance in the video two days ago, but when she saw a real person at home, she still felt the change in Ji Ming's temperament.
On the one hand, it comes from the content of the movie, as the actor of Yuan, Ji Ming went through life and death on the way to the Great Wilderness, and saw all over the Xuanqi, even if many plots and designs were made by the team and finalized by Ji Ming himself, but when he went through it himself, he still felt like he had worn it once. It is a kind of vigor and sharpness that has been reborn after a long history.
On the other hand, of course, after supervising the production of such a huge project, the momentum and control that calmed down.
This man has finally become a strong man through and through - Chu Qing is embarrassed to say such a second evaluation.
"I thought you wouldn't be back until tomorrow. Chu Qing packed two clothes for him and sent him to wash the dust.
Ji Ming took it, leaned on the door frame of the bathroom, and looked at Chu Qing, she also precipitated a lot, such as diving in still water: "It was originally tomorrow, Director Xu misses his son, so I'll talk about the later stage in two days." β
"Mountains and Seas: The Great Wilderness" finally invited two directors to cooperate, plus Ji Ming, who was deeply involved, is actually three directors.
One is the great director Xu Haofeng - he can agree, which is quite unexpected to everyone, the grandmaster-level figure of domestic martial arts movies is not easy to invite. Ji Ming invited him, in fact, he hoped that the action design could be more grounded and more Chinese. Moreover, the trip to the Great Wilderness is also a trip to the rivers and lakes.
The second is Wolfgang from Germany, a European stalwart director who has worked as an assistant director for Peter Jackson for many years, and has also directed monster movies with rich technical experience.
Chu Qing doesn't ask about these things much, Ji Ming is sometimes willing to say, she will listen, ask if there is anything strange, shake her head if she doesn't understand, turn off the video and rest when she is tired of listening, and she will not remember to continue talking next time.
"Let's go in and wash it. β
"Wait. β
