Chapter 133: Bright Sword
That's right, Wu Xiang's new film plan is "Bright Sword"!
This film is a TV series, that is, the legendary anti-Japanese drama, well, she is actually not too godly, she is more realistic, but she created a precedent for this anti-Japanese drama, and she can be regarded as a patriarch.
For this drama, Wu Xiang is very studied, don't forget what he did before, this drama in the drama, that is every screenwriter or director of an anti-Japanese drama, must study, if you don't study this, then what other anti-Japanese drama do you make?
Yes, Wu Xiang is too familiar with this classic TV series.
Originally, Wu Xiang had thought about making this, which is still a novel, into a large-scale movie, a magnificent war-themed movie, but there were several reasons why he changed his mind.
The first one, that is naturally a matter of cost, it has already cost a lot of money to shoot this "Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty", this is still a movie in the era of cold weapons, if you follow the level of "The Emperor of the Han Dynasty", play a modern hot weapon movie, this cost, I'm afraid it is...... The building may have to be finished for a while.
The second one, that is naturally the matter of dealing with piracy before, this matter, Wu Xiang has actually thought about it a long time ago, he is holding his breath, so this anger must come out. Offending people, that's for sure, this matter of self-theft by guards doesn't look good on anyone, so these officials and men who sit on the top of the mountain, can they still have a good face for themselves?
But don't forget, the mountain people have their own clever plans, and if Wu Xiang dares to do this, he has already thought of countermeasures.
Wu Xiang is a reborn. He knew that in less than two years, the domestic film distribution system would be reformed. Reform into a cinema system!
That's right, that's it. carried out the reform of the cinema system, then at that time, the influence of these officials will be much smaller, and the market will be the main means at that time, and the plan can only be an auxiliary form, so is Wu Xiang still afraid of any problems with film scheduling?
Yes, let's go shoot a TV series first, after this period of limelight, it has been reformed. All kinds of funds, all kinds of forces come in, how can you endure me?
That is, to deal with the wicked, one must be more cunning than the wicked.
Although I, a film director, am suspected of making quick money when making TV series, I am not the only one, everyone in Hollywood has done this, and I am a big director who tears his skin and peels his shell. People are not more famous than you Wu Xiang.
But overall, there are still changes in the middle of this plan, but we have decided to shoot this film!
Du Liang's novel also has some problems with copyright. The novel "Bright Sword" was published in 2000, but in fact, the response caused by the publication was not very large, and it cannot be compared with the popularity of the TV series after its release. This made the author make a mistake, and he sold the adaptation rights of the script early and cheaply.
Who bought it. It's none other than Hai (and) Run Company.
The sea (and) moist. This is the most awesome TV drama production company in China, of course, the word private should be added in front, but in fact, people in the circle understand that they are actually the most awesome and the most profitable.
The boss Liu Yanming used to be in the system, and there were many successful dramas at that time, which were very awesome, but if you really want to say that you have opened a company, he has not been for a long time, and if you really say that there is a company, it was still established in 2000, and it has only been more than a year now.
Don't look at the short time of others, their strength is really strong, "Never Look Away", "Six Groups of Serious Cases", ,...... These are all hit dramas, and the "Jade Guanyin" that Haiqing participated in before is also a Haiyan drama, so people don't have this strength.
A powerful new company will look for scripts everywhere, and the prototype of the script is a novel or something like that from the beginning, and "Bright Sword" was bought by Hai (and) Run.
Yes, Wu Xiang will be a little finished if he wants to do it again, to be honest, he didn't want to shoot this at that time. To say that it sounds like Wu Xiang has no chance to shoot now, but it's really not like that.
The film "Bright Sword" is also a war drama, filming a war scene at this time, the cost is high, although Hai (He) Run is strong, but they also have to look at the cost, so although they bought the copyright, they were not in a hurry to shoot it, and first filmed a low-cost one, "Blood Romance"!
This is also Du Yan's work, but the cost of this film is much lower, with this foundation, and then "Bright Sword" will be filmed, and then the name of Du Liang will also come out, how good the effect is.
This abacus is very fine. But this gave Wu Xiang a chance to shoot this work.
1 million, Wu Xiang offered such a price code for the film and television adaptation rights of this novel, this price code is placed ten years later, it is quite ordinary, but now in this year, there are really not many people who offer this price for a novel, not to mention that this is not a very best-selling novel.
This is also the copyright problem mentioned earlier, but under the offensive of 1 million, Hai (and) run also agreed.
I made hundreds of thousands of dollars when I changed hands, and you agree with it, there is no cost, who is not happy?
When I first talked about this, Liu Yanming was interested in Wu Xiang to buy the copyright of this novel, and he said that he wanted to get to know Director Wu Da, and the two naturally met.
"I don't understand a little, why do you think this script is so good that it costs 1 million?" This is Liu Yanming's question, he knows Wu Xiang, although he didn't know him before, but this young man has a lot of ideas, he has heard of it.
"It's very simple, because I spent 1 million, then she is worth 1 million, and if I spend 10 million, then she is worth 10 million!" This is Wu Xiang's answer, not very pretending, when he answered at the time, the smile on his face was definitely not very pretending.
Liu Yanming, who is that, he heard this sentence, and after a little summing up, he understood.
That's really the case, these 1 million are not wronged at all!
The next day, the headline of the entertainment edition came out with such a news, 'Wu Xiang, a well-known young director, bought the film and television adaptation rights of military novelist Du Liang's work "Bright Sword" at a sky-high price of 1 million yuan, and people familiar with the play revealed that director Wu Xiang will devote himself to the production of this film,......
This is the value of 1 million, you don't need to say it, as long as you put a little bit of news, then someone will immediately advertise for you, naturally, the news is vague, you can guess casually!
The topic started all of a sudden, Wu Xiang's new film is a war blockbuster, and the aftermath of "The Emperor of the Han Dynasty" is still there, what does this mean, I'm afraid there will be a good show again.
As a result, there was a natural quarrel on the Internet, and it even drove the sales of the novel "Bright Sword".
The author is happy, he may not be able to share the money, but seeing that he wants to be hot, who is not happy?
So everyone said, "You can change it as much as you want, just don't change it too far, but I believe that you, Director Wu, will not let me down." ”
That's here, Wu Xiang still needs to talk about this degree of freedom? He already knew how to shoot!
This script, he wrote it early on, and he didn't believe that Hai (He) Yun would be so dead-eyed, so the important work now is how to pit...... Oh, recruiting actors.
It's okay, first of all, I got a role, that is, the less important supporting actress, Feng Nan.
Originally, Wu Xiang wanted Haiqing to play the heroine Tian Yu, but she had to act, to say that this Tian Yu is really suitable for Haiqing, because Haiqing is the kind of person who gives people a bit of a foreign feeling, she took the two plays "Jade Guanyin" She is a very strong woman, Zhong Ning, and in "Scholarly Door", she is the second daughter of the Yan family of this scholarly family, and she is a very trendy girl, Yan Jue.
Both characters have something in common, that is, they are a little pungent and outgoing, and at the same time very trendy. This means that in the eyes of Ding Hey and Teng Minji, two professional directors, Haiqing has such characteristics.
And Tian Yu in "Bright Sword" is actually quite bourgeois, and this component is also there, so it is very suitable for Haiqing.
But it's a pity, people don't play it, that's it, play that Feng Nan, this role was originally Sun Li's, isn't this to save money, after Sun Li's "Jade Guanyin", the price can't be cheaper.
If you want to talk about the actor in this play, Wu Xiang actually has a score in his heart, and the cooperation between Mr. Zhang Guangshao and him is very good, and Mr. Li Youbin has met a few times before, as far as the roles of Li Yunlong and Chu Yunfei in this play, Wu Xiang dares to pack a ticket, as long as he takes it out, the two of them will definitely not say anything.
Then the rest is the female character, this heroine Tian Yu, and the previous Xiuqin, who are they looking for?
At this time, Tong Lei is not good, she is still too young, and whether she has received professional drama performance training, Wu Xiang is not clear at all, and now go to her to be the heroine, isn't that an increase in cost for herself?
The two characters of Tian Yu and Xiuqin, in the men's drama "Bright Sword", actually don't have many scenes, Xiuqin came out a few episodes, and there are no two episodes with the camera time, and Tian Yu came out after 20 episodes, and the longest version of Bright Sword is only 36 episodes, but in fact, that version is not much more than the 30-episode version, it's just that it is cut badly.
But these two characters must not be ignored, without them, this play is over, they are the bright colors in this play, adding a lot of colors to the play of pure masters.
So who is going to play it?
Don't forget, Wu Xiang now has his own brokerage company, and he has a good team of brokers, so he should let them do something serious. (To be continued......)
