After six years, the three directors Chen Kaige, Xu Ke, and Chen Jiashang finally made "The Legend of Wukong 1".

Li Feiteng got the news and rushed back to the capital from the Yandang Mountain Scenic Area, the filming location of the Condor Zhongnan Mountain, on the same day.

The leading actors also came to the magnificent 3D film and television base in the suburbs, and in addition to the director, everyone watched the finished film for the first time.

In the movie "The Legend of Wukong", the main actors are-

Wukong: Li Feiteng.

Jin Chanzi: Zhang Guorong.

Canopy: Xu Zheng.

Zixia: Gao Yuan Garden.

Yue: Linda

Little White Dragon: Yang Mi.

In addition to portraying these six protagonists, like other characters, all of them are cameos by big names.

For example, Cheng Long made a cameo appearance as Erlang God, Fa Ge made a cameo appearance as Bodhi Patriarch, Liu Xiaoqing made a cameo appearance as the Queen Mother, Six Little Lingtong made a cameo appearance as the Jade Emperor, Shi Xiaolong made a cameo appearance as the young Monkey King, and Wang Xuebin made a cameo appearance as the Bull Demon King......

Almost all the roles in this movie, a total of nearly 68 actors with lines, are all veteran actors with acting skills in the circle at home and abroad. But except for the main role, the other actors did not collect money, that is, 0 box office joined "The Legend of Wukong".

Because this movie is the world's largest 3D movie in history, this is already a world record before Avatar is ready to be filmed.

Everyone knows that the shooting of 3D movies is purely a performance without physical objects, when they shot this movie, they were in the blue greenhouse, doing all kinds of action lines, and when they were in the post-production of zuò, everyone took some time to go over to record.

Six years down. Li Feiteng went back and forth hundreds of times to the base to shoot and record. In short, the shooting is fragmented.

He must know a lot about the plot of this movie. However, what kind of picture the whole movie is like, it all depends on a group of special effects crews and how the director cuts it.

Therefore, today everyone gathered at the 3D film and television base, Li Feiteng looked at the actors present today, and he was also very excited.

Gao Yuanyuan and Linda followed behind him, he saw Zhang Guorong, and hurriedly shouted: "Brother is here!"

"I'm a little excited. After waiting for six years, today I can finally see Wukong's biography. ”

"yes, everyone is very excited, my palms are sweaty now. ”

When Xu Ke and Director Shuangchen saw Li Feiteng and his wife, they hurriedly came over and shook hands.

There are three directors in this movie, at first it was the early 30% of Xu Ke's shooting, and the later stage was Shuangchen, that is, Chen Kaige, Chen Jiashang and Xu Ke worked together to guide the later stage.

As for whose work this movie ultimately belongs to, it must be based on Xu Ke and Chen Kaige. And Chen Jiashang is just a novice, he is an assistant director.

"Lao Xu, Lao Chen. If the movie doesn't satisfy me, you won't want to get the investment from me in the future. ”

"Alas, we can't guarantee that you will be satisfied, there are flaws, but I believe it will still shock the third master. ”

"Alright, let's all sit down......"

It's a small screening room, but the 3D screen is the most advanced in the world, and it's currently the largest screen 20*21.

Li Feiteng put on the 3D glasses for watching the movie, and a series of special effects commercial animations have begun to appear on the screen, and the Peugeot of radio and television has not yet been added, because the film still needs to go through the review process.

Tengda Films, Royal Films, Tianyu, Sony, Hollywood Studios...... It has united many Chinese and foreign companies to jointly make a joint system, but the largest investment is Li Feiteng himself.

There is no cumbersome beginning, and the similarity with the original book of Wukong is very high.

In a dense forest full of ancient styles, the four of them talked.

"Wukong, I'm hungry, find something to eat. Zhang Guorong sat down on the stone and said.

"I'm busy, you won't go find it yourself?...... It's not that there are no legs. Li Feiteng said with a stick.

"What are you busy with?"

"Don't you think this sunset is beautiful?" Li Feiteng said, his eyes still looking at the sky, "I only need to look at this to insist on walking west every day." ”

"You can look at it as you go, as long as you don't hit the tree. ”

"I don't do anything when I watch the sunset!"

"Sun Wukong, you can't be like this, you can't bully the bald head like this, if you starve him to death, we won't be able to find the West Heaven, we won't be able to find the West Heaven, and the curse on us will never be lifted. Zhu Bajie, played by Xu Zheng, said.

……

Wukong Biography 1 is about 120 minutes long, and the story progresses to one-third of the original Wukong Biography, using interludes, flashbacks, memories and other cutting techniques to restore 70% of the plot of Wukong Biography, interspersed with the two main fighting plots of the Dragon Palace Treasure Hunt and Brave Hell to tamper with the Book of Life and Death.

The story adopts a two-line development, one is the Monkey King played by Li Feiteng, and the other is Tang Seng played by Zhang Guorong.

tells the past and present lives of the two, and hints at the conspiracy theory of Journey to the West.

……

At the end of the film, after Zhang Guorong played the previous life Xuanzang fighting, he raised his head, looked at the white clouds in the sky and said: "I want this day, I can't cover my eyes anymore, I want this earth, I can't bury my heart anymore, I want all living beings to understand my intentions, and I want all the Buddhas to disappear!"

As soon as the words of the sky came out, it was like a thunderbolt in the sky!

The Western Infinite World suddenly opened its eyes and exclaimed: Not good!

Guanyin hurriedly stepped forward: "Why is the ancestor like this?"

Rulai said: "It's him, he's back." ”

After the end of the film, there are some wonderful fights in Wukong 2, as well as some very shocking big scenes.

I have to say that after watching "The Legend of Wukong" with 3D glasses, Li Feiteng's eyes were already moist, because he knew that the investment in this movie was not wasted.

Even if the box office was worrying, he was moved.

Li Feiteng was the first to stand up, and he began to applaud loudly, and many actors behind him also stood up and applauded.

Today, there are Tengda's own reporters, and after they watched this movie together, they were all very excited and excited. I saw Li Feiteng's smile. Everyone's faces were full of smiles. and the hugs of the third master and the three directors.

What surprised everyone the most was that Li Feiteng bowed to the three directors in public, and he said: "Thank you three directors, I'm so happy!"

Xu Ke and Shuangchen are also very emotional, the impact of this movie on them is also an important turning point in their lives as directors.

If it weren't for Sanye's investment in shooting such a movie, they would never have found the opportunity to really make a 3D blockbuster.

The applause resounded like thunder. It was loud for a minute before the silence really returned.

But everyone was discussing with each other and talking about what it was like to watch this movie.

"I think this movie has already conveyed the kind of emotion of Wukong's biography, and it is even more shocking. ”

"That's right, I think so too. ”

"The third master's acting skills are still okay, but Brother Guorong is even better, this Wukong Legend 1 is almost a contest of acting skills between master and apprentice. ”

"Well, the heroine is not so well portrayed. ”

"What does it matter, in itself it is to tell the story of two men. ”

……

in a conference room. The management of Wukong Chuan, as well as the producers, directors, and leading actors are all there. Li Feiteng looked at Wang Zhonglei and asked, "How many 3D screens do we have in Tengda Cinema at present?"

"There are a total of 22 in the four major cities, and the maximum number of seats per day is 100,000. ”

"In other words, if the price is 150 yuan, the box office of 3D movies can reach up to 15 million RMB per day?"

"That's right, but if it is released for an additional number of screenings, it can reach more than 30 million box office, assuming that the seats are full. ”

"Okay, I announce the early release of Wukong Legend 1, and all the 3D cinemas currently invested in will be opened for business, with at least 8 or more shows throughout the day, and ordinary cinemas will not be provided for the time being. ”

Li Feiteng knows very well that the box office of 3D movies comes from 3D theaters, and he must first earn the box office of high-spending people, and then provide civilian box office consumption.

For Huaxia, a 3D blockbuster is also the first time, and there is only Li Feiteng who has a 3D theater, and there is absolutely no other one.

He wants to see how much box office Wukong Legend 1 can earn in the Chinese market.

But before that, Li Feiteng needs to have a separate meeting with the CEOs of the co-production companies.

In fact, it cannot be said that the conference is a bidding auction for copyright transfer.

in a large conference room.

The first sale and transfer was made by an island nation.

Li Feiteng looked at the row of island people, and he said: "For the project of selling the copyright of "Wukong Legend 1" in the island country, the first is the local permanent agency sales right of audio-visual video, and the second is the local film screening right, and the bidding reserve price of the two is not less than 5 million US dollars, please bid." ”

"Hey, we at Toho Pictures bid $8 million for the sale rights of the video products!"

"We have $8.5 million!"

"Panasonic $9 million!" said an island man loudly.

"Kadokawa 10 million dollars!" a refined woman from an island country called out this number directly.

"OK, congratulations Kadokawasha. ”

……

Immediately afterwards, countries in Southeast Asia began to offer various copyrights and screening rights for "The Legend of Wukong 1".

For Southeast Asian status, the rights were sold for a total of $38 million.

And some Hollywood giants also expressed some interest and offered a good price, but unfortunately Li Feiteng is not ready to push Wukong Legend to Hollywood at present, because the box office share of the 3D cinema in the magnesium country is too small.

What he has to do is to wait for the box office of Huaxia to come out, and then negotiate a better sharing contract with the Hollywood giants.

Of course, if the box office is not good, it may mean that his film copyright will be even cheaper.

"The 1st, 2nd, and 3rd parts of Wukong have an average investment of more than $180 million each, and now we have recovered 38 million from the copyright side, and there is a cost of nearly $140 million.

Only after the total box office of Huaxia exceeds 1 billion, Li Feiteng can start making money.

If you can't, you're going to hit the streets. (To be continued......)
