Chapter 606: Revise the Script
Lian Xingyu and Xiao Zhao happily left with the creative artwork of "Transformers", and in two days, Yang Ming will give them the plot outline of "Transformers".
Now, Xiao Zhao is going to immediately set up a creative team and start the early creation.
Yang Ming sent the two of them away, sat on the sofa in his office, and couldn't help but lie down and moan comfortably. I groaned, I've been so tired lately.
Because of the release of "One Ball to Fame", his love is too tight.
Now that the big event has been decided, it's okay to wait for the money to be collected, so today he has time to let someone from Oriental Comics come to carry out a new comic project.
As a member of the entertainment industry in his previous life, even if he was the lowest artist, he also remembered that "Transformers" was making waves in the domestic box office market.
In the previous life, in 2007, "Transformers" was introduced into China, and it suddenly ended with 2. With a box office of 8.2 billion, it became the annual box office champion in China that year.
In 2009, the second part of "Transformers" had a total domestic box office of 4. 5.1 billion, the domestic annual box office ranks second, and the first place is the Hollywood blockbuster "2012"! There is only a box office difference of 15 million between the two, and "Transformers" ranks second!
In 2011, the third part of "Transformers" had a total domestic box office of 10. 8.1 billion, once again becoming the champion of the domestic annual box office.
In 2014, when countless domestic filmmakers were still happy that Xu Zheng's "Thai Embarrassment" in 2012 broke several long-held records held by Hollywood blockbusters, the fourth part of "Transformers" set a demonic record of 19 in China. The total box office of 79 against the sky once again poured a basin of cold water on domestic filmmakers.
At the same time, the total box office of the fourth part of "Transformers" also broke the domestic total box office record, which was previously held by the Hollywood blockbuster "Avatar".
It can be said that in his previous life, on the eve of Yang Ming's rebirth, he never saw the dawn of the rise of Chinese films!
The "Transformers" tetralogy is also a Hollywood blockbuster that has played a very important role in bringing countless blood and tears to the film industry in the previous life.
A movie is made into four, three of which are the first at the domestic box office, and even if one becomes the second, it is only a little bit away from the first.
Yang Ming remembered that in his previous life, whenever people in the industry talked about the movie "Transformers", they were all afraid and envious, and then they all shook their heads in frustration, giving people a sense of powerlessness!
The box office of the fourth installment, "Rebirth of Extinction", reached a sensational 19. 7.9 billion yuan, which is only 20 million away from the 2 billion mark!
This number, for everyone in the film industry at that time in the previous life, was simply an admirable number.
Although the Chinese film industry in today's world is not like in the previous life, it has been beaten to the ground by Hollywood, and most of the box office share of movies has been encroached upon by Hollywood blockbusters, but Yang Ming found that there are already signs of this.
If there is no self-made movie "One Ball to Fame", then it is very likely that the total box office champion in China this year is "Magic Magic" shot by Hollywood.
And he learned that this Hollywood blockbuster has begun preparations for the filming of the second part of the sequel, which will meet all audiences around the world next year!
If there is no film that can resist the box office offensive of "Magic Magic" next year, then China's overall box office champion next year may definitely be won by Hollywood blockbusters again.
However, Yang Ming needs time!
"Transformers" is obviously unlikely to be released next year, and he will have to wait until the comics and cartoons are promoted around the world and have a certain fan base before he can announce that it will be made into a movie, and it will not be released until the year after next at the earliest.
Then, there must be a blockbuster movie in Oriental DreamWorks next year, and now you can start thinking about the preliminary preparations for this blockbuster.
Yang Ming was lying on the sofa with his eyes closed, thinking about which blockbuster to make, he had to think in advance, which blockbuster in his previous life was not to be filmed for a year, and even some took two or three years, which is not impossible.
Although he has a cheat, it doesn't mean that he can make a good blockbuster in a short time.
Special effects shots are hard work, not opportunistic to succeed.
"Which movie are you going to make?" Yang Ming lay there, his fingers flicking rhythmically on his body.
Blockbusters, must be blockbusters, to be honest, he also has the urge to make a blockbuster in his heart, he has been in this world for so long, has experienced so many things, all his preparations, is to accumulate experience for shooting movies with shocking camera images.
Shootout films?
Explosions, shootouts, kung fu, flying cars.
Yang Ming thought about the elements of the shootout blockbuster, so he gave up, this is not the effect he wanted, now the Chinese film industry is like the previous life, there must be a movie to stand up and tell them, what road should the future film take?
In fact, through the study of film knowledge in the two lives, he has a feeling that the reason why the domestic film industry was beaten by Hollywood in his previous life was because he was too obsessed with kung fu.
No matter what kind of movie, there must be good fight scenes.
Hit from the sky to the ground, from the ground to the water, in the car, on the ship, on the plane, anyway!
However, these wonderful fight scenes, which are considered by the domestic film industry, are no match for those amazing special effects shots in Hollywood.
Even some film companies have spent huge sums of money, and the big scenes that have hired Hollywood special effects teams to produce zuò are all shots of fights.
In the golden age of movies in the 80s and 90s, all the plot pictures of kung fu superstars beating foreigners and Japanese in movies will always be applauded by the audience!
Thus a success.
If you study carefully, you will find that this is actually the glorious history of Hong Kong films.
Later, mainland movies became popular after 2009, and many film companies also wanted to replicate the prosperity of Hong Kong films, but they didn't expect to spend a lot of money to invite domestic and even international influential kung fu stars to shoot kung fu blockbusters, but they were beaten all over the ground by Hollywood blockbusters!
Why?
Because kung fu movies are outdated.
If kung fu films can carry the dreams of Chinese filmmakers in the previous life, Hong Kong films will not collapse after underestimation.
It can be seen that the plan to revitalize Chinese films through guò kung fu films is simply impossible!
No matter how good it is, no matter how wonderful it is, it is not as good as Hollywood's special effects scenes!
Of course, there is a premise for this, that is, the plot of the movie itself must be rigorous and logical!
is not in the previous life, and many film and television companies later made a few big scenes in order to make money, and then released them to make money.
The special effects in the four Transformers movies are of course excellent, even the best in the world, but don't forget that all the special effects scenes in this movie are all based on the creativity of this movie.
If there is no creativity and storyline, no matter how well the special effects are done, they are just showcased, and they are useless!
Therefore, Yang Ming thought about it in his heart, and gave up making blockbusters of gunfights, kung fu and other genres, and he decided to really make a blockbuster that made the whole world filmmakers scream!
He wants to use this film to tell filmmakers in the present world, where is the future development direction of Chinese films?
He wants to use this movie to sue the West and Hollywood, and Huaxia can also have its own blockbuster!
For a whole hour, Yang Ming was lying on the sofa, thinking about this question, and after sifting through his heart, a movie soon appeared in his mind!
When he thought of this movie, the whole person immediately came to his senses, sat up immediately, and began to seriously think about the possibility of shooting this movie.
The more he thought about it, the more Yang Ming felt that this movie was the movie he wanted to make!
The plot, the special effects, are not bad.
And it's all top-notch.
However, the plot of this movie still needs to be carefully revised by Yang Ming before it can conform to the world background of this world!
As soon as he thought of it, Yang Ming immediately returned to his desk and wrote a few big words on the manuscript paper with a pen.
《2012》!
That's right, what he wants to make now is this movie, whether it is the plot or the special effects shots, it is definitely first-class.
The plot of the destruction of the world is exciting enough, right?
The scene of landslides and ground cracks is big enough, right?
In the previous life, the film grossed nearly $700 million worldwide and 4 at the mainland box office. 6.6 billion, regardless of box office or word of mouth, "2012" is a complete explosion of all other movies in the same schedule.
However, the plot and characters in "2012" need to be overhauled!
The protagonist's family must be Chinese, there is no doubt about it, after all, this is a movie in which Yang Ming declares his ambitions to the domestic film industry.
Must be Chinese.
And in the previous life, in order to get good box office results in China and please the domestic audience, Hollywood put the last gathering point for saving mankind in Tibet at the end of the movie!
At that time, countless domestic audiences saw this plot and felt extremely honored.
But now it is convenient for Yang Ming.
This plot only needs to be adjusted slightly.
In fact, his modifications to "2012" are limited to the changes to the identities and social backgrounds of the characters, and he will not make any changes to the outline, plot and theme of the movie.
Yang Ming buried his head in writing and drawing on the paper for a while, then turned on the computer and started typing, sorting out the plot of "2012", if it wasn't for Su Su calling, he wouldn't have known that it was evening, it should be time for dinner.
However, now that he is in the midst of inspiration, he asked Su Su to buy a little food and send it to the company, and then he began to write the script of "2012" without sleep and food.
While changing the identity of the character in line with the present world for the new script, Yang Ming thought of an actor who fits the character in his mind.
He decided to play bigger.
The starring actor in it, this time, he is going to use big names, and this time, he is only a director, not an actor, because he can't take care of it!
This time it's really a big scene.
Moreover, Yang Ming has already thought of the best candidate for the male and female lead actors in this movie.
That is his senior brother Yang Chaowei and his lover Zhou Meiling, who have helped him many times!
The combination of Golden Dragon Award actor and actress.
