Chapter 749 "Sealing the Gods: Demon Chaos and National Martyrdom"
Just after Tang An said that he wanted to boycott the artists, a day later, CCTV filmed a reporter to interview Ke Zhendong, who was still closed.
Of course, if it wasn't for the CCTV news broadcast time, he wouldn't have that qualification even if he sucked it.
The video of the interview was broadcast on CCTV 13, and the TV set was saying all kinds of remorse with snot and tears.
As soon as the news was broadcast, it immediately caused a climax of the treasure island media, the water army, and some keyboard warriors.
There are several who have been arrested, but the ones with no background are on TV.
So the Baodao media and a large number of water armies and keyboard warriors began to attack CCTV, saying that CCTV has no human rights, and that Fang Zuming has a good father so it was not reported.
Tang An returned to the capital after the box office broke 2 billion, and the follow-up publicity let the actors run by themselves, and by this time, the box office behind it was basically finalized.
During this time, he was tired enough, so Tang An also looked at it and enjoyed it.
Yang Mi came to the house to accompany him today, cut a plate of fruit in the kitchen and put it on the coffee table, and sat down next to Tang An.
Glancing at the news on the laptop, Yang Mi said curiously, "Brother An, is it really because of Uncle Long that CCTV didn't expose Fang Zuming?"
Such a major event is basically known inside and outside the circle, and people who don't know the relevant laws and internal information are basically a little puzzled by CCTV's approach.
To say that it is because of Cheng Long, although it makes sense, after all, he has made great contributions to Chinese films and oriental culture, and the country remembers it.
Maybe this is also to let Ke Zhendong attract firepower and make netizens stop paying attention to Fang Zuming.
Tang An smiled, shook his head and said, "Of course not, CCTV is not that simple, it's just that Fang Zuming is suspected of committing a crime, and he is still investigating and collecting evidence, and he has to go through the judicial process, so he can't be exposed too much before the court sentences, and Ke Zhendong is not a criminal matter, as a public figure, let's make a mosaic interview and let netizens understand that the administrative detention will come out in a few days, which is a legal issue." ”
In fact, the above was also annoyed by the media on Treasure Island, what a big deal, fanning the flames everywhere, so I simply came to an interview to expose him.
"Oh, I see, Brother An, you still know the law. ”
Yang Mi nodded, twisted a grape and stuffed it into Tang An's mouth.
Tang An shook his head, "If you don't know how to do business without knowing the law, if you don't understand, you may step on the line at some point, no matter what, the red line of the law cannot be touched, and it never hurts to know a little more." ”
Yang Mi said with a smile, "No wonder they all say that the methods to get rich quickly are written in the criminal law." ”
It's a joke, but there is some truth in it.
Otherwise, why do many of these large companies rise rapidly in the eighties and nineties, when the laws were not perfect and there were too many loopholes.
According to the current law, most of them have to go into the squatting room, but at that time, it was the norm.
There are 10,000 ways to get promoted and make a fortune, and the first article of discipline and law is abided.
Otherwise, no matter how much money you have, no matter how strong your background is, you won't even be a fart in front of the country.
After watching the farce on the Internet for a while, Tang An closed his notebook, picked up a copy of the script and read it carefully.
"Brother An, what are you looking at?" Yang Mi stretched out his head and glanced at it.
Tang Andao, "Wu Ershan's "Fengshen" series, the script has been completed, and it will probably be officially launched at the beginning of next year. ”
The "Gods" series?
As the largest investment project of Hantang, even if it is still in the early stage of preparation, the entire Hantang system is paying attention.
Nearly 2 billion production costs, even if it is a trilogy, the production cost of each part is more than 100 million US dollars, even if it is placed in the Big Six in Hollywood, there are not a few films a year.
This is also the movie with the highest investment in China, what the previous "Red Cliff", "The King of Kung Fu", and the "Taiping Wheel" to be released during the Chinese New Year, as well as the co-production blockbuster that Zhang Yimou is preparing, are not enough to watch in front of the "Fengshen" series.
"I'll take a look too. "Yang Mi is interested, such a big production, and it is also one of the four ancient myths, and I also want to see what kind of story the script is.
"There's also an electronic version in the mailbox, you see, just don't leak it out. ”
The two leaned on the sofa and read the script, the trilogy is clearly layered, which not only maintains the coherence of the story, but also has independence, each part is a complete plot alone, rather than slashing twice from the middle, which is too inconsistent.
The tentative title of the first film is "Demon Chaos and National Martyrdom", starting from the demon concubine's entry into the court song, ending with Ji Chang's eldest son Bo Yi taking the exam and Ji Chang escaping back to Xiqi.
The title of the film was decided after consultation with many historians and archaeologists.
Those experts helped a lot for the film, and all the costumes, props, and sets can be said to be their references, even the utensils used to eat, they all strive to be realistic.
However, those who do research are also rigid, and according to what they say, they have to make a documentary.
Even Da's own background, whether the Bo Yi test should be changed to Ji Kao, etc., have to give opinions.
Bo Yi Kao's surname Ji Ming Kao, Bo refers to the meaning of the boss, just like the four major Bohou of the East, the West Bohou, the South Bohou, and the East Bohou, respectively, the boss of the princes of the east, west, north and south towns, so he brought a Bo character.
Ji Fa is the second child and can be called Zhongfa.
Guan Shuxian, Cai Shudu, and Cheng Shuwu, the younger brothers of Ji Fa, are all named similarly, the first word represents the fief, the uncle is the younger brother, and the last word is the name.
So Zhou Shudan (Zhou Gongdan) is also called Ji Dan.
Meng Jiangnu, who cried down the Great Wall, refers to the eldest daughter of the Jiang family, the eldest of the brothers and sisters.
As for what "yi" means, those historians themselves do not have a consensus.
Bo Yi Kao is still called Bo Yi Kao, after all, according to the audience's cognition, Ji Kao shouting is not pleasant.
There are also names between various characters, which are also as consistent with the facts as possible within the scope that ordinary viewers can understand.
Otherwise, different characters shout a person with different titles, which will confuse the audience, and they can't explain it with a line of subtitles.
That group of people is not easy to coax, but everything is produced and directed, and Tang An doesn't have to worry about it.
The whole team is the top in China, and more than a dozen professional producers of all sizes who are good at various businesses are enough to control this drama well.
Tang An also took a look at the general plot, and the details depended on what Wu Ershan was thinking in his head.
After all, what you write can't be the same as what you have in your head, and there is no problem with the framework of the story.
The character design, the role and focus of each role, this time is the focus.
After all, there are too many characters, and if you don't handle it well, the plot will go wrong.
There is also the setting of the role is also related to the casting of Taoist actors, such a complex blockbuster, it is impossible to change the character design because of accommodating the actor, so the current character design basically determines the characteristics of the actor.
For example, Jiang Ziya's appearance, in the prime of life, middle-aged or old.
If you change the director after four or five years, it is estimated that all of them will be young actors, and a good classical mythology will be made into a costume idol drama.
That would be a disaster.
But Wu Ershan certainly wouldn't have done that.
After reading it, Tang An rubbed his head, put down the script and drank saliva.
Yang Mi also read the script roughly, and then hugged Tang An's arm and said with a little flattery, "Brother An, how do you see me playing Daji?"
Tang An shook his head a little speechlessly, "Come on, the appearance is not suitable." ”
"It's not appropriate. ”
Yang Mi muttered, "Daji wants to be charming and innocent, I can also wear makeup, and the ancient costume is not bad." ”
"Even if it's still as described, there are many types of actors who fit this characteristic, so Daji might as well forget it. ”
Tang An smiled again, "Why don't you go to the audition at that time to see who Wu Ershan chooses." ”
Yang Mi pursed her lips, "Director Wu didn't listen to you yet. ”
Tang An said, "This is his film, I won't interfere, and I won't interfere with what actor he chooses." ”
Tang An still believes in Wu Ershan in this regard, and with such a big production, Wu Ershan will be cautious, after all, this can be said to be related to his future.
The trilogy, with two billion production costs and a cycle of four or five years, is too stressful.
Not to mention which celebrity has a good relationship with him, even if he is a brother, it is useless.
Besides, the director is like a chef, and different dishes and seasonings make different things.
Lu Chuan's original "Nine-Story Demon Tower" originally wanted to use Liu Ye, who has been working with him, with Liu Ye's appearance and acting skills, it is a perfect fit, and this film will not be so bad.
But due to various reasons, Zhao Youting, who was strongly promoted by Baodao at that time, got this role.
Without the right actors, it's hard to be a director.
Let Wu Ershan have full control over the casting, and Tang An will just look at the point when the time comes.
Yang Mi doesn't bother about this matter anymore, she hasn't understood Tang An for so many years, and the casting thing has always only looked at whether it is suitable or not.
"Then Brother An, who do you think is the right person to play?" Yang Mi asked again.
"I'll think about it for a while, but Wu Ershan remarked the ideas of a few characters on my script, Shen Gongbao He wanted to find Huang Bo, and then Tang Guoqiang played one of Bigan, Shang Rong, and Wen Zhong, Fei Lian, Ji Chang, and Bo Yi have several spare candidates for these roles, and he is also considering several other important leading actors. ”
Huang Bo plays Shen Gongbao, there is really any clown who thinks about Huang Bo, proper appearance discrimination.
It's just that Tang Guoqiang played Wen Zhong's words, wouldn't that become the god's version of Zhuge Liang, that is, he didn't take a fan.
