"Haha, I saw the old scene just now. Zheng Wen pushed open the door and said with a smile.

"How's it going? Finally, there is a plan for filming?" Yang Ming stretched and asked.

Since the filming of "The Road of Glory" given to him by Yang Ming, after the box office and word-of-mouth harvest, Zheng Wen has not had a new film shooting plan.

Yang Ming and Liu Xinsheng asked many times, this guy kept saying wait and see, he had to prepare well.

In the past few months, his whole person seems to have disappeared, and there is no movement, if it weren't for Yang Ming's frequent phone contact with him, Yang Ming would still think that he was missing, and he would have the mind to call the police.

"Well, I just came back from Dongyang, and I helped a friend over there to hold the computer and stayed for a while. Zheng Wen sat down on the sofa casually, poured himself a glass of water and said while drinking.

He naturally knows that he has disappeared during this time, whether it is the company or the outside world, the plan for his new film is more and more expected, taking advantage of the popularity of the previous movie's successful hit, it is already the rule of the entertainment industry to start shooting a new film quickly.

But Zheng Wen did not have the slightest desire to start shooting a new film in his heart, because he knew that it was difficult to establish a golden signboard, but it was very easy to destroy it.

Because he's already experienced this pain of slipping from the top to the trough once.

Don't want to have a second time.

Therefore, recently, he has been helping an old friend in the Dongyang Film Shooting Base in the south to hold the camera, and he has been pondering his plans for the next movie.

At the same time, Zheng Wen also has a new understanding of his film career.

That is, he will not go to business for the sake of making commercial films, nor will he make art for the sake of stubbornly pursuing art.

The tragedy of excessive art, he has already had a painful experience of failure, and as for commercial films, he is actually not this material at all.

"Oh?" Yang Ming knew that the Dongyang film shooting base was in the south, which was equivalent to Hengdian in the previous life, and was generally called Nanpiao, and the star artists and singers who were fighting in Yanjing were generally called Beipiao. "Do you have any ideas?"

Recently, I have been staying in Dongyang, and I have come into contact with a lot of low-level actors, and I have an in-depth understanding of their living environment and mental state, which has touched me very much, so I am going to shoot this theme in my next movie. Zheng Wen said with a frown while recalling his recent gains.

When Yang Ming saw his appearance, it was estimated that he must have been stimulated by something in the south, or something must have touched his soul, otherwise he would not have seen through the past of Hongchen.

It's just that when he thinks of Zheng Wen's words, how can he feel an indescribable familiarity, as if he has heard this sentence somewhere.

But Yang Ming frowned and thought about it, but he still didn't remember where he had heard this sentence.

At this time, Zheng Wen continued: "I don't need much investment in this movie, it is estimated that 10 million will not be used, and the roles I prepare for the movie are selected from those actors who live at the bottom in Dongyang, and I have a feeling that only these actors can shoot the feeling I want." ”

When Yang Ming heard what Zheng Wen said, a bright light flashed in his mind, and he couldn't help but pat his thigh, he finally remembered why he felt that Zheng Wen's words were so familiar.

"What's wrong?is there any problem?" Zheng Wen heard the sound of Yang Ming slapping his thigh, and couldn't help but look up at Yang Ming, thinking in his heart, could it be that Yang Ming disagreed with his wayward film shooting concept?

A director at the level of the Golden Dragon Award, filming a new movie, there is not a single first-line actor in it, not even a professional actor from a professional class, all of them choose the best actors to pick the main beam, if this is said, it is estimated that everyone thinks that Zheng Wen must be crazy.

How could you do such an incredible thing without being crazy.

In fact, even Zheng Wen himself was not sure whether his idea was feasible now, so he hurriedly ran back to Yanjing to discuss with Yang Ming.

Yang Ming saw the look on Zheng Wen's face, and immediately knew that the other party had misunderstood, and hurriedly said: "No, Director Zheng, I feel that your idea is very good, to be honest, I just heard you talk about this idea, I seem to have a kind of resonance touch, and I can't help but think of some strange stories in my mind." ”

"Eh!" Zheng Wen stared at Yang Ming in disbelief, as if he had seen some monster, full of consternation.

Can you be a little more genius? Can you be a little more demonic?

As soon as he said an idea, he had an idea in his heart, although Zheng Wen had a certain habit of Yang Ming's genius, but he was still a little shocked at this time.

"Go on, Director Zheng, continue to talk about your creativity, as well as your life in Dongyang and some interesting experiences, hehe, hehe!" Yang Ming pretended to smile indifferently, hiding the unnaturalness in his heart.

The reason why he had a little gaffe just now was because he finally remembered why he felt so familiar with Zheng Wen's words and thoughts.

"I am passerby A".

A movie released in 2015 in a previous life.

Yang Ming was also reborn on the 2015 National Day, and he also watched this movie, and he still remembers this movie starring the masses who are neither professional backgrounds nor special actors.

And the director who directed this movie is a very well-known director Er Dongsheng.

In his previous life, after watching this movie, Yang Ming still remembered saying on the news that when Er Dongsheng was selecting actors, he also made a special request that there was no need for special actors, as long as there were not many acting skills of the "masses".

It is pointed out that there are only dragon sets and extras.

Seeing this news, Yang Ming was also a little shocked, because when he watched this movie, he felt very good, although there were no special effects, no big scenes, and no star lineup, but it was indeed a rare work of conscience.

It's just a pity that this movie with a fairly high word-of-mouth score has an extremely dismal box office performance, only more than 60 million, less than 70 million.

And "Taoist Priest Descending the Mountain", which was released immediately after "I Am a Passerby", is like "Wuji", all kinds of complaints, all kinds of bugs, all kinds of god plots, and the word-of-mouth score fell below the bottom line, but the box office results are quite eye-catching, with a box office of nearly 400 million, which is also a record high for Kaige.

It's just that the shooting cost of the two is very different.

The filming cost of "I Am Passerby A" can be seen at a glance, it is very cheap, definitely less than 20 million.

The box office results of more than 60 million are estimated to only be able to return to the cost, but if you add the income from other copyrights, Er Dongsheng can still make a small profit.

However, the production cost of "Taoist Priest Descending the Mountain" is as high as 200 million, and the box office of 400 million is a fool's dream to recover the cost.

These memories flashed in Yang Ming's mind, and then he began to listen to Zheng Wen tell about some of the things and feelings he encountered in Dongyang.

The more Yang Ming listened, the more he felt that it was very consistent with "I Am a Passerby", even if there were some errors, he could modify it in the name of 'artistic processing', and he could directly take out the script of his previous life and shoot it for Zheng Wen.
