Chapter 27 Preparation for the crew

If you set a goal in life, whether you achieve it or not, you can at least live a more real life.

Wang Jie hopes to live more realistically, in the present, not illusory. Through the rest with the women, he found that he was more and more connected with the world and this era, and no longer unconsciously regarded himself as a spectator of time as before.

It took Wang Jie a whole week to perfect the storyboard script of "Mythology", some things involve too much historical information, and it is indispensable to consult more related books, there is no Internet in this era, which greatly increases his workload, but fortunately, he is now far beyond ordinary people in terms of physical and mental strength, plus the movie itself is his hobby, but he doesn't feel bored.

For the costumes, props, weapons, etc. in "Mythology", Wang Jie has studied for a long time, and these have to go to the Huaxia Continent to contact the relevant departments. The pattern of Xiangjiang is still too small, and people are advocating some fast food culture, costume dramas are often filmed in a simple cinema, or simply set up a scene indoors, as for the corresponding costumes and props, what is it, some wear it is good.

The army of the Qin Dynasty has three parts, and the arms are also divided into infantry (including crossbow soldiers), chariot soldiers, cavalry, and sailors, and the infantry is divided into light and heavy armor, the former has no armor, mainly using long-range weapons such as bows and crossbows, and the latter wears armor on the upper body and fights with long weapons such as spears, halberds, and ge. Dressed in armor and armed with bows, crossbows and other weapons, they are called chauffeurs, and they are the main force in the infantry and generally play a very important role in the army. The chariot soldiers are equipped with single-wheeled, two-wheeled and four-horse wooden cars, each with 3 people, all wearing armor, the emperor is in the middle, and the armor is divided into two sides, holding long weapons. If the film wants to shoot so many things, the manpower and material resources used can be imagined.

In the end, what made Wang Jie more entangled was the war scene, which must show the strong spirit of the tiger and wolf division of the Qin Dynasty army, which not only did he have no relevant shooting experience, but Xiangjiang also did not have a director with this experience, so he could only accumulate a little bit in the filming process.

It's a waste of time and brain cells to frame these things, and if it weren't for Wang Jie's supercomputer that could find a lot of references to these film scenes, no three or five years would not have been able to handle these things.

After the storyboard of "Myth" was completed, Wang Jie printed a copy, and specially asked the housekeeper Jim to go back to the United States and handed over the script to George Lucas. Prior to this, Wang Jie first asked the old Jim to go to the copyright department in the United States, and registered the copyrights of all kinds of mobile phones and computers that appeared in "Mythology", and even high-tech products such as mice and so on! Anyway, these things will be invented sooner or later, and they will be able to maintain their private expenses by collecting copyright fees in the future.

Just after the Spring Festival, Wang Jie gathered all the leadership of DreamWorks, and in the conference room of DreamWorks Pictures, Wang Jie sent the printed script of "Mythology" to Mecca, Huang Baiming, Shi Tian, Cheng Long, Shi Nansheng, Le Yiling and Chen Xunqi of DreamWorks Records.

After reading the script, everyone looked at the boy in front of them in surprise, and they all knew that the little boss in front of them was smart, but this was too demonic! The last "Rain of Swords" already made people know the boy's incomparable talent, but the script of "Myth" broke everyone's concept again.

Wang Jie opened his mouth and said: "I am going to take the main shooting of this time in the Huaxia Continent, I believe everyone here has seen that this movie Xiangjiang has no conditions to shoot it at all." ”

Everyone fell silent for a moment, and McGee hesitated for a moment and asked, "What about Bay Island?"

"You don't have to worry about the possible ban on Bay Island, because I'm ready to use the movie "Myth" under my name in Lucasfilm and Fox Film in the United States, and I believe that the cultural department of Bay Island will definitely not make any moths in the face of Mei's father. ”

Hearing Wang Jie's explanation, everyone smiled, and their mood suddenly relaxed.

Shi Nansheng, who was in charge of finance, asked: "This drama is grandiose and costs a lot of money, I don't know how much the specific cost boss expects it to be, so I can prepare in advance." ”

Wang Jie responded: "This time, the budget will not go through the accounts of DreamWorks, and it will all be invested by me privately, so that I will not be caught by those people on Bay Island, and this time I expect the cost to be 10 million." ”

Cheng Long exclaimed in surprise: "10 million Hong Kong dollars, a big deal!"

Wang Jie glared at him angrily and said, "I'm talking about dollars." ”

Everyone suddenly held their breath and settled on their seats dumbfounded, you must know that the dollar was very valuable before the Plaza Accord, at this time 10 million US dollars is equivalent to more than 100 million Hong Kong dollars, Xiangjiang removed DreamWorks in 1977, and all the movies of other film and television companies did not have so much at the box office.

Le Yiling asked with some concern: "Is the risk too great, boss, you can think about it again." ”

Wang Jieluo said indifferently: "My net worth is not enough to break my bones for 10 million US dollars." ”

At this time, everyone thought that his small boss was a billionaire in the United States, and a "Star Wars" brought him more than 100 million dollars.

Wang Jie continued: "Cheng Long, the actor of this movie, you will be the actor. ”

Everyone else looked at Cheng Long with envy, and it was definitely a great honor to be able to participate in starring in the first super production of over 100 million yuan in the history of Xiangjiang. Cheng Long himself also opened his mouth wide, and this surprise was too big. Mai Jia took the lead in coaxing: "Treat, treat......"

Cheng Long blushed and said happily: "Tonight, the rich man, see you or leave." ”

Wang Jie and the others had enough trouble and said: "You will do it as the producer of this movie, Le Yiling, this time I will accompany you to the Huaxia Continent in addition to you and Cheng Long, plus Chen Xunqi, Mai Jia here in Xiangjiang, Shi Tian and Shi Nansheng, the three of you will work hard, stay and take care of DreamWorks, don't feel sorry for the three of you left, there will be opportunities in the future, don't forget that my main career is in Hollywood, if you are here, I will appoint you to the United States to develop." ”

Hearing Wang Jie's explanation, although Mai Jia, Shi Tian and Shi Nansheng were a little regretful, they didn't have any other ideas, anyway, they would have the opportunity to go to the United States in the future.

Wang Jie continued: "I am short of assistant directors, artists, prop masters, in short, everything is missing, I hope you can help me find it." ”

Le Yiling first said: "I know that Jiayi TV has an art director named Zhang Shuping, and I will contact him after the meeting. ”

Mecca continued: "I'll contact Hong Jinbao in a moment to see if he can come over." ”

Cheng Long followed and said: "This time, bring Yuan Kui, Yuan Dart, Lin Zhengying, and Dong Wei, they are all brought, there are fewer people." ”

……

In the end, Shi Nansheng blushed and asked a little shyly: "I know that Jiayi has a new director named Xu Ke, he admires you very much, I don't know if he can be counted as him?"

Everyone else looked at Shi Nansheng with some amusement, and Wang Jie realized that it was the same as the original time and space, and the two finally came together, it seems that fate is really wonderful.

Wang Jie responded happily: "Okay, let him be an assistant director for me!"
