Chapter 754: Decision
Yang Ming told Liang Zhidan that he would tailor a script for him before he sent away, the senior brother who is now dedicated to the development of the entertainment industry.
In this way, in addition to "Tai Chi Zhang Sanfeng", he also has to make another "Kill the Wolf".
Although the time was a little tight, Yang Ming thought about it and thought that he should be able to cope with it, he knew that Zhang Kaile had not been there for more than half a year, and he would definitely not be able to do the 3D model and number analysis of "Transformers".
However, he felt that he didn't need to be so tired, and if all the movies were shot by himself, it wouldn't exhaust him to death.
If Oriental DreamWorks wants to become a giant in the entertainment industry, it will definitely not work on his own.
Yang Ming has several directors in Oriental DreamWorks in his mind, in addition to himself, there are also Mo Xiaohua, Lao Chai, Bian Mingcheng, Zheng Wen and a few others.
Mo Xiaohua made his debut with the filming of "Meteor Garden", and then under Yang Ming's arrangement, all the TV series he filmed were idol types, and Yang Ming felt that Mo Xiaohua was estimated to be not suitable for the big screen for the time being.
Lao Chai can be said to be the most experienced director among Yang Ming's several people, even Zheng Wen, who has won the Golden Dragon Award, is not as good as Lao Chai in some aspects.
Maybe Lao Chai can't shoot thought-provoking pictures, but with stunning shots, he is definitely competent.
"Shaolin Temple" was directed and filmed by Lao Chai, Yang Ming felt quite good after watching Mao's film, especially Lao Chai had been following as an assistant director, after the edification of his new kung fu martial arts design ideas, Lao Chai can now stand alone.
It's just that "Shaolin Temple" still has to be post-produced, and then it will be promoted, Lao Chai must have a lot of things, and he can't spare time to shoot "Slaying the Wolf".
As for Zheng Wen, Yang Ming thought about it or forget it, although he filmed "The Road of Glory" quite well, and it also achieved a good social response, and even this year's Golden Dragon Award, Zheng Wen is likely to become Yang Ming's opponent.
But Yang Ming realized that Zheng Wen is really not suitable for shooting that kind of movie with too strong commercial taste, but the kind of small freshness with a bit of literature and art, which is more suitable for Zheng Wen.
He can guarantee that if "Slaying the Wolf" is handed over to Zheng Wen to film, the storyline will definitely be extremely full, but Yang Ming can't guarantee what this master can shoot with the hot fight scenes.
In this way, Bian Mingcheng is left alone in the company.
Yang Ming thought about it, and it seemed that Bian Mingcheng was the most suitable to know about this movie.
Regardless of ability or experience, Bian Mingcheng is not lacking, after following him to shoot "I Am Special Forces", when filming the sequel, Yang Ming arranged for him to be the director to shoot, and the result was very good.
The ratings of the second part of "I Am Special Forces" are still the same as the first part, becoming the ratings champion at that time, in addition to the word-of-mouth accumulated in the first part, Bian Mingcheng's directing ability has also won the affirmation of many professionals.
After all, Bian Mingcheng was born in filmmaking at the beginning, and now he is making TV series, which is simply overkill.
Yang Ming thought about it seriously, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that the feasibility was very high, especially when filming the second part of "I Am a Special Soldier", the ideas that Bian Mingcheng revealed in this TV series were very much in line with Yang Ming's taste.
Cool, handsome, without the slightest drag.
There is not only depth of thought, but also no lack of commercial elements, it can be said that Bian Mingcheng has just the right grasp of these two aspects.
In the end, after some careful consideration, Yang Ming decided to let Bian Mingcheng shoot "Slaying the Wolf".
After making this decision, he began to struggle with the role played by Wu Jing in "Slaying the Wolf".
Do you want to play this role yourself?
He is really afraid that if he plays this role, there will be countless fans who support the supporting role to kill the protagonist.
When Yang Ming told Sister Zhu by phone, she told Yang Ming on the phone: "It won't be possible, but inevitable, you don't know how popular you are outside! ”
"And your brother's popularity is basically not much different from those newcomers in the entertainment industry, in fact, this is not the most important thing, what I am most worried about is that your image on the screen suddenly changes, which will bring some adverse consequences, after all, like this situation, other stars will only do it in order to transform as a last resort, you change your style now, I don't think it's worth it!"
Hearing Sister Zhu's words, Yang Ming's mood was very heavy.
He knew that what Sister Zhu said was correct, and it was also for Yang Ming's own sake.
But Yang Ming really likes the role in "Slaying the Wolf".
For an artist whose career is on the rise at a high speed, he will not consider such a thing as changing the screen image, unless it is a joke idiot.
In his previous life, Jackie Chan had a positive screen image all his life, never played a negative role, and was never killed on the screen, like Nicholas Tse's debut, all positive images.
Neither his agent nor the entertainment company behind him will allow them to take on roles that damage the image of the screen.
I think that if Professor Chen's photos weren't too popular, he wouldn't have been able to fall to the freezing point as soon as his image fell to the freezing point, and after quitting the entertainment industry for a few years, he would have taken on any role.
It can be said that if Yang Ming chooses this role, it is very likely to cause a lot of turmoil in the circle, and some people will even scold him for being stupid.
But the more he thought about it, the more he felt that he wanted to take over the role.
popularity, will he be worried?
image, the movie is originally the second world of the actor, the ups and downs of life will be tasted, and there will naturally be bitterness if there is sweetness.
Money, when did he ever lack money?
Yang Ming thought about it seriously for a long time and decided to play this role herself, when Sister Zhu learned of his decision, she did not persuade her, she knew very well the personality of her boss, and once she decided on something, she would never give up halfway.
And there are too many miracles that have happened to Yang Ming, Sister Zhu does not dare and will not use her previous experience in entertainment to measure Yang Ming's gains and losses.
Sister Zhu's main thing now is to select actors who meet the requirements for Yang Ming's new film.
After Yang Ming decided to play the role of Wu Jing in "Slaying the Wolf", he was bored at home, spent a week getting the scripts of "Slaying the Wolf" and "Taiji Zhang Sanfeng", and then went to the company to call Bian Mingcheng to the office.
"Look at it. After Yang Ming saw Bian Mingcheng coming, he handed him the script he had written.
When Bian Mingcheng saw the script in Yang Ming's hand, his expression suddenly became a little excited, and the hands that took the script couldn't help but tremble a little, no way, Yang Ming's script is now hard to find in the Chinese entertainment industry.
To exaggerate, it is not something that can be bought with money at all!
Just kidding, will Yang Ming be short of money? With a net worth of tens of billions, what entertainment company boss would dare to have more money than this demon in the entertainment industry?
After Bian Mingcheng took the script, he sat down on the sofa, lowered his head and began to read the script.
"Slay the Wolf"!
As soon as he saw the name on the script, his eyes couldn't help but light up, and when he heard the title of this movie, he felt domineering and had a unique flavor in it.
Killing the wolf is a kind of life of Ziwei, in numerology, seven kills, greedy wolves, and broken armies are in the palace of life, when the three sides and four are shining, it is the so-called "killing, breaking, wolf" pattern.
Especially in the Chinese folk and the Greater Chinese Cultural Zone, the term "killing the wolf" has a unique charm in it.
The Heavenly Scare Lone Star and the Wolf Slaying are collectively known as the two great fates.
There are countless folk legends about this fate.
Bian Mingcheng was in good spirits, and immediately looked down intently.
After a long time, the teacup in front of him had already been drunk, and when he finished reading it all, he straightened his back slightly, and looked at the time, Bian Mingcheng found himself sitting here, and he had been watching for more than two hours.
Just now, he was really attracted by this wonderful script, and he had lost track of time.
He looked up and found that Yang Ming was not in the office at this time, and Yang Ming's voice came from outside, probably discussing something with someone.
Bian Mingcheng's mind went back to the plot of "Slaying the Wolf" he had just watched.
There is no doubt that if this movie can be shot perfectly, he can guarantee that this is definitely a classic movie.
Especially the character building in it, which made him applaud.
In fact, the plot is not very complicated, and it is even commonplace in the entertainment industry, Yang Ming's mastery lies in injecting a strong brotherhood into a simple story.
"Affection" has become the "key" to resolve the various contradictions between Inspector Chen and his team members and Wang Bao, Inspector Chen and his team members and Inspector Ma, and Inspector Ma and Wang Bao. Except for the following words that did not explain to Inspector Ma at the end, the story of "Slaying the Wolf" is very complete, paying attention to the portrayal of details, without any superfluous pictures, and the brotherhood contained in the bits and pieces makes the film flesh and blood.
The feelings of gratitude and gratitude are touching. That's a tone of the whole film.
Now as long as Bian Mingcheng thinks that he may direct this movie, the whole person can't help but tremble, and the irrepressible excitement in the depths of his soul makes his whole body excited.
He had waited too long for this opportunity.
A director who doesn't want to make a movie is not a good director.
Every director knows this sentence, but how many directors can really pick up the microphone and direct independently?
Bian Mingcheng also met a lot of directors who made TV series in the film and television industry last year, as well as his previous acquaintances, no one knows better than him how rare the opportunity to set foot on the big screen is in the entertainment industry.
He used to break his head and almost bankrupt for this opportunity, but now he has this opportunity in front of him, and he has it at his fingertips.
If it weren't for him maintaining the last shred of sanity, he couldn't wait to get up and ask Yang Ming about various matters now.
At this time, there was a sound at the door, and Yang Ming pushed the door and walked in.
"Have you read the script, how do you feel?" Yang Ming saw that Bian Mingcheng no longer read the script, so he walked over and asked.
Hearing Yang Ming's question, Bian Mingcheng was excited for a while, hesitant, a little speechless, and held back for a long time before he said: "Mr. Yang, is this script really handed over to me to shoot?"
Yang Ming was stunned when he heard this, and then he saw Bian Mingcheng's excited look, and then he understood why the middle-aged man in front of him, who always had a trace of vicissitudes in his eyes, was so excited, he couldn't help but sigh faintly in his heart, he was too far away from the cruel reality of the entertainment industry in this life.
"You are the company's contracted director, and I happen to have a script here, and I feel that you are more in line, so I called you over. Yang Ming said with a faint smile.
"Thank you, Mr. Yang!" Bian Mingcheng slowly regained his consciousness and was affirmatively confirmed, and he no longer had the kind of heart in his heart that suffered from gains and losses, and restored his former shrewdness.
Yang Ming sat on the sofa, his brows furrowed slightly, and he said thoughtfully: "I am going to let my senior brother Liang Zhidan play the role of Ma Jun." ”
Bian Mingcheng was shocked when he heard this, he is very familiar with Liang Zhidan, last year after he filmed "I Am a Special Soldier", he cooperated with this person to shoot a kung fu TV series, and almost didn't make him angry, this person's acting skills are really not ordinarily bad, and there are often some low-level mistakes.
After all, Liang Zhidan is not from a professional class, and he does not start slowly from the bottom, and he is still familiar with film shooting.
Bian Mingcheng attaches great importance to the opportunity for him to enter the big screen again, and he doesn't want anything wrong, but the relationship between Liang Zhidan and Yang Ming is well known in the company, and he opened his mouth and didn't know what to say.
Seeing Bian Mingcheng's expression, Yang Ming guessed what the other party was thinking, smiled bitterly, and said: "Originally, I didn't want to make this movie, but my senior brother ran to me, and I can't refuse, the most important thing is that my senior brother has the potential to become a kung fu superstar." ”
"If nothing else, my senior brother and Ji Feihong will be the company's two kung fu signature stars!" Yang Ming thought for a while and decided to reveal his plan.
To be honest, if Liang Zhidan and Ji Feihong didn't have the advantages worth his efforts to cultivate, he would never waste the company's resources because of personal relationships!
Public and private, Yang Ming is still very clear.
Liang Zhidan is young, his appearance is not bad, and he is quite photogenic, and his own kung fu has reached the realm of a grandmaster, especially his original real fights, which have very impactful visual effects, if he is placed in his previous life, it is estimated that he will be cultivated as a treasure by various entertainment companies.
In the previous life, the glory of Hong Kong movies is no longer there, and the lack of newcomers to take over is also the main reason.
It hurts to think about Jackie Chan at such an age, and he is still doing all kinds of dangerous actions on the screen like a young man.
And Liang Zhidan and Ji Feihong are two good seedlings that Yang Ming found in this life, so naturally he will not give up this opportunity.
Hearing Yang Ming's words, Bian Mingcheng nodded, speaking of which he was able to direct independently, and he really had to thank Liang Zhidan, if he hadn't stuck to Yang Ming, he would not have set foot on the big screen so soon.
"Don't worry, if there is anything wrong with Senior Brother, you can say it directly when the time comes, and it won't get in the way. Yang Ming saw Bian Mingcheng's melancholy eyes, and couldn't help but give the other party a holy decree.
Next, the two discussed the issue of casting, and when Bian Mingcheng learned that Yang Ming would play that Ajie in "Slaying the Wolf", he was surprised and delighted.
He had just read the script, so he naturally knew what kind of role Ajie was, and he thought that he would find a newcomer to play it, but he didn't expect it to be played by Yang Ming himself.
It's incredible, especially since this character is still a villain.
Bian Mingcheng looked at Yang Ming in disbelief.
――――
Nima, I broke my promise today, I thought that there would not be much overtime work on the weekend today, and I would leave work early in the afternoon, but I didn't expect the leader to have a convulsion again.
