Chapter 538: Yang Jian saves his mother

In the blink of an eye, it has entered October, and it is the annual National Day file, and the film market is hot again. However, it has little to do with Lu Lin, because Longlin Pictures only has a love movie starring Chen He and Fat Di in October. Anyway, these two people stand together, but in fact, the style of painting is quite incompatible.

On Lu Lin's side, he naturally focused on filming "Romance of the Dragon and Snake", and after a long preparation, "Daughter Country" directed by Xu Ke also held a start-up press conference in Beijing on October 7, and then prepared to rush to Treasure Island to shoot.

In other words, the total investment of this drama is 600 million, Longlin Pictures will contribute 200 million, Bo Na and Wanda will each contribute 100 million, Penguin Pictures and Ahri Pictures will each contribute 80 million, and director Xu Ke will contribute 40 million.

There are six producers in the whole film, and the films produced by Longlin Pictures are the most investors, but compared with other blockbusters in the market, the total number of producers is relatively small.

For example, "Operation Red Sea" is produced by 5 companies including Bo Na and Eagle Emperor, and jointly produced by 27 companies including Huaxia Film. This is mostly the case with "Mermaid", "Tang Detective 2", etc.

There are many producers, mainly to diversify risks and integrate resources. For example, it can bring superstars, provide IP, or have publicity advantages.

But these are not international conventions, in Hollywood, the kind of blockbusters that obviously make money, even if the investment is extremely high, there will not be too many producers, such as "Black Panther" There are only two Marvel Studios and Disney.

And the only domestic person who likes to produce a blockbuster is Longlin Pictures. In other words, Lu Lin's approach has been criticized in the circle. Now that this "Daughter Country" has introduced other capital, it is very surprising to the media and the industry.

In Beijing, in a banquet hall of the Sofitel Wanda Hotel, a press conference for the new film "Daughter Country" is being held, and director Xu Ke led Zhao Liying, Jing Xiang, Qiao Dashan and others to be interviewed on stage.

Lu Lin chatted with Yu Dong and Chen Wu backstage, and Yu Dong asked Longlin Pictures about its 18-year new film plan, wouldn't it be like 17 years, with four more movies?

"Director Guo Fan is preparing for "The Wandering Earth 2", but he is slow to make films, and it is estimated that it will take 19 years to wait for the release! Wen Muyu is still a realistic theme, but there is no need to think about the miracle of the god of medicine!" Lu Lin sat on the sofa and drank tea.

Chen Wu, who was sitting opposite, said: "If this kind of grand occasion comes a few more times this year, we don't have to mix!"

Lu Lin smiled, "How can it be so exaggerated?"

"Long Linnian! Now the media always reports this, saying that if your "Havoc in the Heavenly Palace" can surpass "Wolf Warrior 2", four movies can make 20 billion, 20 billion!" Yu Dong sighed.

Lu Lin said helplessly: "It's so easy, for me, if the mainland is over twenty, even if the initial goal is completed!"

Chen Wu teased, "Good guy, two billion is the ultimate goal for us, but this is a small goal for you!"

Lu Lin smiled, he was looking for modesty, but now it's good, and he pretended to be invisible.

Yu Dong asked: "Tell me about your filming plan for next year, how many people in the industry today pay attention to this matter!"

"Well, at present, it is still being studied, and what can be determined is a "Male Soldier Company 3", as for the others, the theme has not been decided!"

Originally, Penguin Pictures wanted to co-produce "Company of Soldiers 3" with Longlin Pictures, and Longlin Pictures released the rights, funds and distribution. Penguin Pictures financed and filmed.

However, during the project evaluation, Penguin Pictures was unable to come up with a script that satisfied all parties, and found that with their experience and strength, it was very likely to be a failure.

In the end, I was ready to imitate the routine of "Wonder Woman" and remake "The Goddess of the Dawn of the Male Company", which is easy to use, and the project of "The Company of Heroes 3" naturally returned to Longlin Pictures and fell back to Lu Lin's shoulders.

Now that a large number of fans are waiting, Lu Lin is not ready to delay any longer, and puts the filming task of "Heroic Company 3" in 18 years.

As for another blockbuster next year, he actually plans to direct and act himself, filming "Yang Jian Saves His Mother".

Because "Baolian Lantern" is famous all over the world, the reputation of "Agarwood Saves Mother" is far greater than "Yang Jian Saves Mother", and even many people don't know Yang Jian's feat of saving his mother.

However, the myth and legend of "Baolian Lantern" is suspected of plagiarizing "Yang Jian Saves His Mother". Except for the lamp of the Baolian lantern and the name of the person, the rest of the plots of the two myths are quite similar, both are the problems of the uncle and nephew, and they are all splitting mountains.

However, Yang Jian's deeds of "splitting the mountain to save his mother" can echo the plot in "Journey to the West", such as Sun Wukong's ridicule, such as Erlang God listening to the tune and not listening to the announcement. Liu Agarwood only appeared in "Baolian Lantern", and what kind of god he was named after that was not familiar to the audience.

Therefore, Lu Lin felt that it was necessary to interpret the story of Yang Jian's rescue of his mother. In addition, I also want to put some emotions in my heart.

is related to "Fengshen", there are only two of the ones he wants to shoot the most, Yang Jian and Nezha, but Nezha is too tragic to cut his bones and return his father, and the protagonist is only six or seven years old, so after thinking about it, it is better to shoot Yang Jian's story.

But these are just some thoughts in my heart, and I didn't even discuss it with Song Ge, so I couldn't tell Yu Dong and Chen Wu.

When the three were chatting, the host invited Lu Lin to come to the stage and talk about his feelings about playing Tang Seng.

Lu Lin went up and said it, and the media naturally asked about the drama "Havoc in the Heavenly Palace", which will be released in the Lunar New Year.

"Director Lu, the word-of-mouth collapse of the Journey to the West blockbuster "The Legend of Wukong" in the summer, so that many viewers on the Internet are not very optimistic about Journey to the West movies. I don't think it's adapted, the story is too familiar and nothing new. It's changed too much to "The Legend of Wukong", and I can't watch it. I wonder how Director Lu feels about this kind of view?"

Lu Lin thought for a while, smiled into the microphone and said: "This question is really good, and it is also a story that many audiences are familiar with, and when it is adapted into a movie, the most important point to pay attention to." I think the key to adaptation is the core of the story and the relationship with the original book. For example, director Xu Ke's classic "Smiling Proud Jianghu" series ......"

Speaking of this, Xu Ke smiled kindly, and the latter nodded and smiled hurriedly.

"In terms of storyline, compared with the original book, it can be said that it has been drastically changed, so that Hu Chong actually has feelings for Dongfang Undefeated. But in terms of the theme of the film and the core of the story, it is highly unified with the original work. 'Some people have grievances, there are grievances and rivers and lakes, people are rivers and lakes, how do you quit?', the artistic conception shown by this classic line can be said to be a high summary of the theme of the original work, which is the right direction of the adaptation. As for "The Legend of Wukong", ......!"

Lu Lin laughed twice when he said this, and he was not afraid of offending anyone, and said: "The plot is chaotic, the most shocking spirit in the original book is not shown through the plot, but in the form of PPT at the end, I think this is a very interesting thing!"
