In the private rooms of the hotel, the atmosphere is quite quiet.

"Little junior brother, are you playing so big?" Yang Chaowei looked at Yang Ming with a complicated look, he had watched Yang Ming grow all the way to the point where he is today.

According to the news reports in the media, he knows that Yang Ming, with his current net worth, has the strength to come up with 500 million to make a movie.

Even, the box office earnings of the movie "One Ball to Fame" are enough.

But how long has Yang Ming only stepped into the film industry, you must know how many film companies in the entertainment industry have lost nothing because of making a blockbuster, and finally lost a lot of vitality, even if they go bankrupt and go bankrupt, there are many clear examples.

Not long ago, Tianxia Pictures' "A Few Miles Away", which invested more than 100 million yuan, is not a stark negative teaching material?

"Senior!" Yang Ming shouted, his expression was full of confidence, and his handsome face looked extremely firm and persistent at this time, "500 million sounds like a lot, but if you want to exchange it for rice dollars, that is, more than 100 million, every year Hollywood will have two or three blockbusters with a cost of more than 100 million, if we want to cope with the offensive of Hollywood, then, we must pay about the same amount of money as the other party, if we want to be small and big, how can there be such a good thing?"

Speaking of which, he couldn't help but think of the fact that "Transformers 4" grossed $2 billion worldwide in his previous life, and everyone was shocked by the desperate box office numbers of this Hollywood blockbuster.

But who notices the cost of making Transformers 4?

2。 $100 million!

That's almost 1.3 billion RMB!

In the previous life, it was not a realistic thing to want those domestic film companies to spend 1.3 billion yuan to shoot a movie, unless everyone was crazy.

Of course, this is also because Hollywood blockbusters aim at the global box office, and the world has long been accustomed to watching their movies, so the global box office will be so high.

But Hollywood couldn't have been that big in the first place.

They are also slowly accumulating, erecting word of mouth, like a snowball, the scale is getting bigger and bigger, and they have become the best choice for watching blockbusters in the minds of global audiences.

Large-scale production, big scenes, ups and downs of the plot, and shocking special effects, this is the magic weapon of Hollywood blockbusters sweeping the global film market.

It's easy to say, but it's incredibly difficult to do.

In the previous life, Hollywood can be said to have been thoroughly studied by the whole world, but no country dares to say that its own movies have completely defeated Hollywood.

In his previous life, Huaxia also tried various methods, kung fu films, comedy films, literary films, gunfight films, horror films, no matter what the method, they failed to stop the pace of Hollywood's progress.

Yang Chaowei, who is well versed in the current domestic film form, naturally understands the meaning of Yang Ming's words.

In recent years, in the face of Hollywood's step-by-step pression on Chinese films, domestic filmmakers have not come up with effective methods, even if domestic film companies also learn from Hollywood to make blockbusters, but the effect is still unsatisfactory.

Thinking of this, his heart suddenly moved, and said: "Yang Ming, you have shot three movies, all of which have achieved impressive box office results, and many friends I know are studying the success model of your three movies, don't you want to continue this low-cost and high-box office model?"

"Hehe!" Yang Ming smiled a little helplessly, and then said with a hint of amazement: "If you want to defeat an opponent, you must defeat him head-on, be opportunistic, win for a while, and not win for a lifetime!"

Although he said it too absolutely, he still said it.

It is true that no matter what type of movie the subject matter, it is part of the composition of the movie, and it is impossible for every movie to be a blockbuster.

However, a blockbuster film production is the most representative of a country's film industry level, and it is not something that ordinary films can sit on.

Therefore, Yang Ming wants to shoot a blockbuster film in this world, telling all Chinese filmmakers the direction and development trend of future films.

The two chatted and chatted, but they forgot about Yang Ming's invitation to Yang Chaowei to join the crew of "2012" just now, and began to discuss some of their views on the Chinese film industry.

Zhou Meiling couldn't help it, so she knocked on the table and asked, "Chaowei, how is it?"

Su Su couldn't help but purse her lips and laugh when she saw Zhou Meiling looking so anxious and curious.

Yang Chaowei turned his head to his girlfriend and smiled when he heard this: "What do you think?"

Immediately, several people laughed happily.

Zhou Meiling suddenly realized that although the two of them did not talk about joining the crew, they had already formed a consensus that if there was no big problem, Yang Chaowei should join Yang Ming's crew.

"Yang Ming, how is your crew's creation?" After laughing for a while, Yang Chaowei said with serious concern.

"It's already written, and I've brought it with me. Yang Ming immediately asked Su Su to hand the script of "2012" to Yang Chaowei.

Yang Chaowei took the script and looked down at it, but he didn't expect that after only reading it for a while, he was taken aback by Yang Ming's script idea.

It turned out to be an apocalyptic idea!

This is definitely not a new idea, and there is not much market for the rumors of the end of the world in 2012 in reality, but this does not prevent film companies from various countries from using this topic as a gimmick to shoot various apocalyptic themed films.

At the beginning, the audience was still a little fresh, but after a period of time, movies of this theme type slowly went downhill, although it was not unpopular, but the audience was a little tired of watching it.

He really didn't expect that Yang Ming's plan for the next movie would be to make a movie about the end of the world.

However, when he saw a rendering drawn by Yang Ming, the whole person was immediately stunned.

Yang Ming is not an art major, and his paintings are not as realistic as those of professionals, but Yang Chaowei can still imagine what kind of picture Yang Ming wants to shoot through this rather simple and scribbled rendering.

The sky is cracking, cars are tossed high like toys, two high-rise buildings collapse and collide, smoke billowed and a plane flies out of the smoke and dust.

"Hiss!" Yang Chaowei imagined this scene in his mind, and couldn't help but gasp, and suddenly understood why Yang Ming spent 500 million to make this movie.

It turned out to be burning money to do special effects, and it is estimated that there must be a lot of such shots that spit out disaster scenes.

At this time, the waiter had already begun to serve the food, but Yang Chaowei couldn't care about eating, and the whole person was fascinated by the script in his hand, the theme that Yang Ming wanted to express and the renderings of his storyboard, if this movie can really shoot the effect that Yang Ming wants in the script.

Then this movie will inevitably be a new chapter in Chinese cinema.

Seeing that Yang Chaowei was already addicted to the script, Yang Ming smiled helplessly, and asked Su Su to accompany Zhou Meiling to eat something, where he waited for Yang Chaowei to finish reading the script with a teacup.

Fortunately, Yang Chaowei also knew that now was not the time to carefully study the script of "2012", so after reading it and understanding Yang Ming's intentions, he closed the script and sighed: "It seems that you kid is really having a big time this time, so I'll go crazy with you!"

"Happy cooperation!" Yang Ming raised his teacup and smiled.

Subsequently, the two began to discuss the filming of the film while having dinner.

"How are you going to solve the special effects?" Yang Chaowei asked, "If the special effects are not good, this movie may not achieve the effect you want!"

"Hmm!" Yang Ming nodded in agreement with what Yang Chaowei said, he naturally knew what the special effects picture meant to "2012".

If the special effects don't work, then the disaster scenes in the movie in the previous life that shocked the global audience will definitely be greatly reduced.

"I've asked the people in the company to find the right special effects company, and if it doesn't work then, I'll go to Hollywood. Yang Ming said his plan.

"One qiē focuses on movies. Yang Chaowei nodded.

In the movie "2012", Yang Chaowei and Zhou Meiling are undoubtedly the heroes and heroines, playing the husband and wife who fled from the United States to China, but there are actually many outstanding roles in this movie.

For example, the No. 2 male protagonist Doctor who has always appeared, and the president's daughter, as well as the president who is a great father, and the conscientious assistant next to the president.

These are the more brilliant characters.

Especially the second male protagonist, the doctor and the president, these two roles must have a high level of acting skills.

Especially the role of the president, although he does not appear much, Glover, who played the president in his previous life, is not only a great father full of fatherly love, but also a president who is responsible for the people, and his performance is vivid, which can be described as extremely sensational, which is one of the rare highlights of this movie.

must be played by an old actor.

When Yang Ming and Yang Chaowei were discussing every role in the script while eating, when Yang Ming said the casting requirements for the president, Yang Chaowei thought for a while and said a person's name.

Yang Ming has heard this person's name countless times, and has seen many movies that this person has acted in, and after thinking about it for a while, he nodded, and felt that this person was very suitable.

Then, Yang Chaowei said that this person's invitation would be given to him, as long as this person met Yang Ming's casting requirements, he would definitely invite this person to join the crew.

When this person was young, he was definitely an emperor superstar-level being, even if he is old now, he is constantly making appointments, because his charm is too great.

After eating and briefly discussing the plot, Yang Ming and Su Su sent Yang Chaowei and Zhou Meiling to the door and drove away separately.

on the car.

"It's really not easy for you to be a junior!" Zhou Meiling, who was sitting in the co-pilot's seat, said with a sigh.

"Yes, this time Bai Chongshi suffered a loss in his hands. Yang Chaowei said.

If there is anyone in this world who can feel Yang Ming's identity and status the most, except for Liu Xinsheng, who has been following Yang Ming, it is Yang Chaowei.

At the beginning, he also received a call from the old dean asking him to take care of a newcomer junior, so he helped Yang Ming say a few fair words in the media.

But he didn't expect that just a year later, his junior would become a heavyweight in the entertainment industry.

It's unpredictable.

However, this is also a rare opportunity for Yang Chaowei to break into the international entertainment industry.

It can be said that after a cursory look at the script of "2012", he is now very much looking forward to and full of confidence in this film that will be shot with an astronomical amount of investment.
