Chapter 275: Preparation for "The Three-Body Problem".
Due to various considerations such as passing the review, the plot adaptation of the movie version of "Three-Body Problem" is mainly derived from "Three-Body Problem 2 Dark Forest".
The movie takes Luo Ji as the protagonist, the battle between the wall-facing plan and the wall-breaker as the main clue conflict, and the "water drop" probe of the Trisolarans destroys more than 2,000 interstellar warships of the human space fleet as the special effects selling point, and Luo Ji comprehends the law of the "Dark Forest", and shocks the Trisolarans when the earthlings fall into despair and doomsday carnival at the end of the story.
As for the plot of the first part and the story of Ye Wenjie, it's really hard to talk about it. What appeared in the movie was only the scene where Ye Wenjie and Luo Ji talked in front of Yang Dong's grave.
After all, Luo Ji was able to comprehend the law of the "Dark Forest", was hunted down by the "Three-Body Organization" actually led by Evans, and was selected as the "Wall Facing Man", the root of everything originated from that conversation!
In terms of actors, Luo Ji's actor is Deng Chao, and Jing Yan plays Luo Ji's "dream lover" Zhuang Yan, a girl who looks more innocent. This kind of setting is not too difficult for ordinary actresses. If this is not done well, Lu Lin will be really disappointed.
Shi Qiang, who protects Luo Ji, is also a character with a heavier role. He used to be a rude-looking policeman, but later joined the Department of Earth Defense and Security, and saved Luo Ji's life many times.
For this role, Lu Lin originally liked Jiang Wen more. However, this person is too individual, and it may not be pleasant to work together. Lu Lin thought twice and decided to invite Wang Qianyuan, an actor who was not handsome enough.
As for the other three faces, former US Secretary of Defense Frederick Taylor, Venezuelan President Manuel Rediaz, and former EU President Bill Hines all need foreign actors.
In terms of the selection of these actors, Song Ge proposed to invite one or two Hollywood big-name stars, which would be very helpful to increase the box office of "The Three-Body Problem" in Europe and the United States.
Lu Lin was a little moved, and he was worried that the salaries of European and American big-name stars were too expensive to make up for it, so the matter was not settled immediately. However, the news that "The Three-Body Problem" is about to start has finally spread.
Bona Films, Yu Dong was having a meeting with the people in the publicity and distribution department, listening to his subordinates' report on the publicity and distribution of "The Legend of the White-Haired Witch: Bright Moon Heaven".
In the summer of 2014, Bona has a total of three movies: "Eavesdropping 3", "There Will Be No Time Later", and "The Legend of the White-Haired Witch: Bright Moon Heaven".
"Eavesdropping 3" is led by Gu Zai, Liu Qingyun, and Wu Yanzhu, and was released at the end of May and won 300 million box office, which is a very good result.
In the past few years, Hong Kong films have declined, and the above three plus Zhang Jiahui can't afford the box office alone. After the "permutation and combination", the box office often exceeds 100 million, so mainland audiences can often see three of the four in a film.
"After the End" is a literary film directed by Han Han, it may be that Yu Dong is not very optimistic, in short, Bo Na's investment is not much, and the distribution is also dominated by Huaxia Pictures. But the film's box office performance in another time and space exceeded 600 million.
What Yu Dong really values is "The Legend of the White-Haired Witch: Bright Moon Heaven", produced and distributed by Bo Na, directed by Zhang Zhiliang, starring Huang Sect Leader and Fan Bai, but the result was a mess.
However, due to the good publicity and distribution, another time and space won a box office of 389 million. As a result, Boss Yu "did not repent", and went to get "The Sword of the Third Young Master" again, and finally the box office and word of mouth collapsed .......
is different from Wang Changtian, who likes to sell youth films, Yu Dong has martial arts feelings, "Laughing Jianghu" and "Dragon Gate Flying Armor", which are one of the few bigwigs in the mainland who also produce martial arts movies.
At the end of the meeting, as soon as Yu Dong returned to his office, the assistant came to report: I heard the news that the script of "The Three-Body Problem" produced by Longlin Pictures has been reviewed and will start production soon!
When Yu Dong heard this, his hand holding the water cup trembled slightly. It's going to turn on again, Lu Lin, this kid, really can't be idle!
In terms of cooperative relations, Bona and Longlin Pictures have really gone through a long period of "honeymoon period". But from League of Legends: Company of Soldiers, this collaboration is over!
At first, Yu Dong didn't take this matter too seriously. To be honest, he is not very optimistic about the movie adaptation of "League of Legends". Because of the film and television of games, it has always been difficult to produce high-quality products. Even Penguin, which sells the rights, is not involved in the investment in the first film. But who would have thought that "Company of Heroes" would sell such a high box office!
237 million on the first day, with a single-day high of 269 million. It is said that when Yu Dong heard this data, the whole person was stunned for a moment, he missed at least one billion, dollars!
I still remember that last year, who was in front of Han Shanping about the global $1.1 billion of "Houyi Shooting the Sun", and the old leader was very unhappy. Now the people who "enjoy" this treatment are afraid that they will have to change to themselves.
However, the two things are not exactly the same, before the filming of "Houyi Shooting the Sun", Longlin Pictures accepted external investment, and even Huayi's Wang Zhonglei sat at the seminar of "Houyi Shooting the Sun". Therefore, the bigwigs who took the initiative to give up every time they think of the box office results of "Hou Yi Shooting the Sun", they are all uncomfortable.
When it comes to "League of Legends: Company of Heroes", Longlin Pictures, which has sufficient funds, is no longer willing to accept external capital. China Film was able to participate because of the background, and the two TV art centers affiliated with the military were also able to provide equipment and filming convenience.
Bona, who only has the advantage of distribution, has greatly reduced the resources it can provide after the rise of Longlin Pictures. In business, this is the root cause of the inability to cooperate!
But in business, Lu Lin's film is really profitable, and "The Three-Body Problem" is what the president said after watching it, and there are many fans around the world. As long as the quality is passed, it is not difficult to sell well in the world.
Such a good project, if you can't even drink a sip of soup, you won't be very willing!
Thinking of this, Yu Dong took out his mobile phone and dialed Lu Lin's private number, but he was actually on the phone.
Boss Yu simply pressed the phone and asked the driver to drive him to Longlin Pictures. Although the two companies are not in the same building, they are not far away. About 20 minutes, Yu Dong arrived in front of Longlin Film Company. But when I saw the front desk, there were more than 20 people around, waiting to register and fill out the form.
The people of Longlin Company naturally knew Yu Dong, and a girl in the front desk came over and said, "Mr. Yu, are you coming to our boss Lu, or ......?"
"Who's there?"
"It's all here, why don't you go to the conference room for a while, and I'll ......?"
Without waiting for the front desk to finish speaking, Yu Dong's mobile phone rang, and he picked it up and listened inside: "I just picked up an important phone call, so I have time to give you back!"
Yu Dong smiled, looked at the people queuing up at the desk in front of him to fill out the form, and said, "Oh, I'm also idle, come and ask to see Director Lu Da!"
Lu Lin said: "Brother Yu said so, but it's outside!
Yu Dong said with a smile: "The results of the Xiongbing Company are so good, you should have had a treat a long time ago, don't expect a celebration banquet to send us away!"
