Chapter 124: Blockbuster Blockbuster
On the first day of boot, a good omen is important. The crew is a very magical place, and when it is smooth, it is smooth. When I memorize everything, I make everything wrong, and I go crazy to the point of collapse. So the scenes on the first day are relatively simple and don't require much acting skills.
The next day, major entertainment media reported the news of the launch of the new film "Hou Yi Shooting the Sun", which instantly dominated the hot search.
Penguin Entertainment: "Yesterday, the famous director Lu Lin's new film "Houyi Shoots the Sun" was launched in Huairou Film and Television Base, with a total investment of 700 million yuan, setting a new ......record for domestic film investment.
Entertainment scene: "The first domestic blockbuster "Houyi Shooting the Sun" will refer to the images of ancient beasts in books such as "The Classic of Mountains and Seas" and "Buddha is the Way" to create a strange and realistic Twelve Ancestral Witches, creating a fantastic and magnificent world.
The director of the film is Lu Lin, the first domestic commercial director, with a total investment of 700 million yuan and more than 30 stars participating in the film, making it the most anticipated film ...... this year. "Entertainment Scene", as a program under Guangxian Media, naturally boasted about "Houyi Shooting the Sun".
Huayi Company, director Feng Xiaogang is filming "1942" in Yuzhou, and Xiao Wang, as a producer, is also there. The two had breakfast together early in the morning, and they heard Director Feng say: "I am most annoyed by these grandchildren, when I see you well, they swarm around like bees, and they praise as if they don't want money." When you memorize the words, they will also step on the hardest!"
Xiao Wang said: "The first commercial film director in China, with an investment of 700 million yuan, there is no more powerful person in the director circle now, and the media is also eye-catching." ”
Director Feng sneered: "The current people's hearts are too impetuous, and he is the first director in China to direct two films, and we didn't dare to say this when we hated to top the box office of other small films when we didn't want to make a film!"
Xiao Wang always laughed and said: "Well, yes, yes, the key is that the box office is really high!" Thinking of the box office results and profits of "The Return of the Great Sage" and "The Alliance of the Heavenly Gods", Xiao Wang was also envious.
Director Feng was silent when he heard this, who made him feel uncertain about the box office of "1942", but he didn't dare to brag nonsense. Xiao Wang said again: "When the filming of your bombing scene is over, "Looking for the Dragon" is almost time to start, I have to go over and stare at it." ”
It turned out that when Lu Lin was preparing for "Houyi Shooting the Sun", Huayi and Wan Da also reached a cooperation to jointly produce "Ghost Blowing the Lantern", the title of which was coincidentally set as "Looking for the Dragon", which was produced by Chen Guofu and directed by Wu Ershan, who had just finished filming "Painted Skin 2".
Director Feng was not very happy, "What are you in a hurry, the scene of the bombing is so important, it is impossible to leave without finishing filming!"
Xiao Wang always said: "Okay, I'll definitely wait for you to finish filming." Then he said: "There's no way, China Film United dreams of the film industry, and also makes a "Ghost Blows the Lamp", and the matter of grabbing food is careless!"
It turned out that under the stimulation of Lu Lin, many domestic film companies had the idea of making 3D blockbusters. However, there are very few who can put ideas into reality.
For more than a year, countless investors, directors, and screenwriters in the circle have been eating, drinking, and blowing nonsense together. Isn't it just to use the name of the heroine of a 3D blockbuster to tempt some girls who have no discipline and only star dreams, and play 3D jade futons in the hotel first.
can be said to be related to 3D, only "Painted Skin 2", which is being transformed in the later stage, and the two "Dragon Quest" and "Nine-Story Demon Tower" adapted from "Ghost Blowing the Lantern"
Under the flapping of the wings of Lu Lin's "butterfly", the Chinese film industry in this time and space has changed a little. "Looking for the Dragon" and "Nine-Story Demon Tower" were born ahead of schedule, both of which are 3D special effects blockbusters, which are naturally the result of the box office success of Lu Lin, the investor in the industry.
At this time, the Chinese film audience still maintained great enthusiasm for 3D blockbusters. Unlike a few years later, many viewers preferred the colorful 2D version to the dim, three-dimensional 3D blockbuster.
In a conference room of China Film, Han Shanping, together with a group of executives, director Lu Chuan, dreamed of the film industry boss and a representative of Leshi Films, and was conducting a script seminar on "Nine-Story Demon Tower".
Thinking back to the news related to "Hou Yi Shooting the Sun" that he saw this morning, Han Shanping couldn't help but be a little distracted, always thinking about the original seminar of "Hou Yi Shooting the Sun", why did he quit the project.
There is a saying: do not do cooked, do not make raw, interlaced do not profit. Even though the risk of return is too large, Lu Lin is the best player in China for 3D blockbusters. And judging from a series of publicity effects, it seems to be very interesting!
I should have thrown 20 million or 30 million yuan to participate in it first, even if I lost it, I was not afraid, and I thought it was good to add capital. Now that I have hastily withdrawn, it is difficult to open my mouth if I want to participate in it. Thinking of this, I can't help but feel a little annoyed.
At this time, Lu Chuan, who is both a director and a screenwriter, said: "For the film "Nine-Story Demon Tower", I think like this, due to the relationship between national conditions, it is better to remove the elements of tomb robbery, and you can focus on filming adventures and monster fighting scenes.
In foreign countries, monster movies are relatively mature genre films, giving birth to classic films such as "Godzilla", "Jaws", "Jurassic Park", and "Han River Monster".
And there are many monsters in my country's myths and legends, and we can put them on the screen and make them our own "monster fighting type films". is like the just-started "Hou Yi Shooting Sun", the so-called twelve ancestral witches in it are just monsters based on the "Classic of Mountains and Seas", and they will become what kind of ancestral witches if they are packaged. Speaking of which, they should be regarded as demon clans, and what so-called demon clan heavenly court is born from the same root, why is it too anxious to fry each other!"
To be honest, for Lu Lin's current fame and status, most domestic directors are a little unconvinced. Lu Chuan is no exception, obviously talking about "Nine-Story Demon Tower", and involuntarily complained about "Houyi Shooting the Sun".
Unbeknownst to everyone, everyone present had a belly of "opinion theory" about "Hou Yi Shooting the Sun", and Lu Chuan's crooked building was good, which ignited the topic in an instant.
"700 million, do you really dare to invest, you are not afraid of losing all your money?" said the representative of Leshi Films.
The boss of the dream film industry smiled: "The first two films have made a lot of money, and I am not afraid of losing money!" But Lu Lin has put up the signboard, I estimate that with the current publicity momentum, the special effects are better, and if the plot is not too bad, it should not be able to lose!"
"Twelve Ancestral Witches, two forms, Director Lu Lin still dares to think about it! Save money when you are in human form, and the special effects explode after transformation, which is definitely attractive. A person from the production department of China Film said.
Another person: "Indeed, I feel that Director Lu will control the cost, like "The Return of the Great Sage", there are three or four characters in the middle for so long with a single-line plot and small scenes, save money!"
When Han Shanping heard this, he felt a little uncomfortable, and snorted: "Everyone is discussing very hotly, it seems that we are holding a seminar on the script of "Ninety Percent Demon Tower"!"
