Chapter Seventy-Seven: Song Ge's Work
During this time, Song Ge also did a lot of work. The first one is the overseas distribution of "The Return of the Great Sage", which has been released in Japan, South Korea and various countries in Southeast Asia after June, and the current box office trend is gratifying, which is by no means inferior to the performance of Hollywood blockbusters in the local market.
It must not be said that the IP of Monkey King still has some influence in the global market. Just look at the remakes of various countries.
Ri Ben is definitely a die-hard fan of "Journey to the West", and major TV stations have filmed at least 5 versions of "Journey to the West", but unfortunately Tang Seng is played by popular actresses.
The Korean version of "Journey to the West" is even more spoofed, and it actually puts the time in modern times, probably because I want to learn from Marvel!
There are also Australian versions, American versions, and South Vietnamese versions, which are spicy and can't bear to look at directly. Fortunately, "The Return of the Great Sage" was released, so that they could take a look at the authentic "Great Sage Fan".
In addition, Song Ge also inquired about Ning Hao's whereabouts and learned that his new film "The Great Gold Robbery" was launched in Shanghai in early May. It is said that it is also a big production, and I don't see the media or outsiders, so I have to give up.
Xu Zheng has seen it, at this moment, Xu Guangtou is still switching identities between the big screen and the small screen, and the amazing talent that has not yet been revealed in commercial films.
The success of "People in Embarrassment" in 2010 only made Xu Zheng's comedy talent attract the attention of the industry. But then a "Xi Travel" produced by the "Happy Family" ruined his reputation again.
For this reason, when he painted "Xi Travel", he directly bombarded on Weibo, apologizing to the audience for filming "such a super bad movie".
This approach has stirred up a thousand waves with one stone, and the impact is that when Xu Zheng appears on the big screen again, it has been 12 years in "Chunjiao and Zhiming", and he has played a small supporting role with few scenes.
In the entertainment industry, there is a price to pay for talking nonsense!
In terms of TV series, the last work was "Ouchi Low Hand" with Yingbao, which was broadcast in July last year.
When Song Ge made an appointment with Xu Zheng, he had just taken over an urban emotional drama called "Big Man Gets Married", and his ideas about movies were far less wise than later.
However, Xu Zheng was very excited that the boss of Longlin Film and Television was willing to come to him, and Song Ge said that Longlin Film and Television planned to cultivate his own director team, and if he had any good books, he could hand them over.
Xu Zheng is extremely excited about this, but he has already taken over "The Big Man Gets Married", and he can only finish filming first.
Xu Zheng and Ning Hao can't be recruited for the time being, and well-known screenwriters in the industry cling to the independent creative concept of "making cars behind closed doors". Song Ge recruited a few young people with screenwriting experience from the society, and raised thousands of yuan a month in the company. Let them read "Flower Thousand Bone" and "Breaking the Sky" first, and try to write the first draft and adapt the script.
Of course, it is certainly not possible to count on such a group of people. The so-called thousands of troops are easy to get and hard to find, there must be a core screenwriter who can lead the team, but it's really not easy to find!
Lu Lin didn't have a good way to listen to it, his super microscopic computer, doing special effects is absolutely awesome. But when it comes to writing scripts and creating, artificial intelligence can't compare with people after all.
When Lu Lin heard this, he had no choice but to say: "I have to invite some more people, don't be afraid of a lot of people in the screenwriting team, they only have a few dollars a month, and the cost of a group of people added up is not as good as a traffic star." Our company mainly makes special effects blockbusters, and the script is too important, there must be no plot loopholes, we can't afford this risk!"
Song Ge also thinks so, but in fact, he is still a little frightened by Lu Lin's blind blockbuster approach. "The Return of the Great Sage" is a real loss, but if it loses, it is also a real loss!
What he can do is naturally to work more hard in building a screenwriter team, and try to help the crew avoid plot risks!
Lu Lin said: "By the way, don't let them be limited to "Flower Thousand Bone" and "Breaking the Sky", you can also take a look at "Buddha is the Way", if anyone can change a good script, they will be rewarded with cash directly!"
Song Ge said: "The Buddha is the Tao, I have read some of the books, the idea of killing is too heavy, you have to change it if you want to use it!"
Lu Lin smiled: "That's for sure, the movie, what you want is unexpected, and it is reasonable that you can't shoot it according to the original book." ”
It is said that the scene of havoc in the original book of "Journey to the West" is very exciting, but if the movie is also made according to the original book, there will be no freshness.
There is also the story of Nezha, in the original work of Fengshen, Nezha went to the East China Sea to take a bath, and shook the sky in the water, causing the Dragon Palace to shake, and there was a series of things later.
In the 79 version of the cartoon "Nezha and the Sea", it was a great drought in the world, and the Dragon King couldn't drop a drop of water, and he ordered Yaksha to rob the boy and girl.
With such a change, the image of the whole person has become very positive, and it has also gotten rid of the original work in terms of theme and concept. The grief and indignation in the back are deep and tragic. made the 79 version of "Nezha and the Sea" an insurmountable peak in the history of Chinese animation, and then domestic animation rushed towards the road of no return to infantilization.
After discussing with Song Ge for a while, Lu Lin was going to take a plane to Shanghai to prepare for the Shanghai International Film Festival.
Because Fat Di went back to continue studying, Song Xiaoya, as an assistant, has been doing some chores in the company. Song Ge said that Lu Lin always had someone to take care of him, so he asked him to take Song Xiaoya with him.
However, he said that he had booked a plane ticket for the afternoon and had flown to Shanghai within a few hours. After resting for one night in the booked four-star hotel, Song Xiaoya stayed in the hotel the next day, and he first went to rent a BMW 3 Series before driving to the vicinity of the Shanghai Drama Academy.
As a well-known film and television professional college in China, there are not only many handsome men and beautiful women in the theater, but also a lot of luxury cars. The level of the BMW 3 Series is simply not enough to see.
Lu Lin did not drive to the hospital, but called Fat Di in advance and told her where he was outside the school.
When he first returned to school, Fat Di really became a star-like figure, after all, he was only a freshman, and he could play the heroine in a blockbuster with an investment of 200 million, and he would be watched by people wherever he went.
However, because the movie has not yet been released, more than a month has passed, and those onlookers and gossip have finally decreased, and she can live a quiet and normal college campus life.
After learning that Lu Lin came to Shanghai to participate in the international film festival and wanted to come to see him, Fat Di was really excited. After all, after Yingbao signed with Longlin, there were endless rumors about what company would tailor a few big dramas for him. And she wants to go back to school obediently, and she clearly wants Yingbao to be a sister!
Although she felt that her "brother" would definitely not treat her badly, she was still a little uncertain in her heart. What if he really chose himself just because his image matched Athena.
