", or search on Baidu: Sanlian Literature Network] When Fan Wuxian returned to the company, Xia Donghai was leading a group of people to study the problem of the script of "Mythology".
"Mr. Fan, I revised the script, what do you think of this part of the plot added now?" Xia Donghai immediately found Fan Wuxian and pulled him to read the script.
Anyway, Fan Wuxi is a big boss and an investor, what to shoot, he has to approve it after watching it first, and then he can get it to the director to arrange, rather than waiting until he is vetoed by Fan Wuxian in the end, it is better to let him look at it at the beginning now, and there will be nothing to say in the future.
Fan Wuxian took the new script and took a closer look, and found that only part of the plot of Feng Ping was added to the domestic part, and Xia Donghai had contact with Feng Ping in the last two days, and found that this girl was very malleable, and she had an innate ability to charm sentient beings, so she added a negative role to him.
Although it is a negative role, but the negative role is actually in many cases, as long as it is played well, it is easier to shine, Fan Wuxian appreciates Xia Donghai's changes very much, so after watching it, he said yes again and again.
"Then it's finalized according to this!?" Xia Donghaizhi said proudly. **.coM*** In this script, Fan Wuxian refused to take credit, so he asked Xia Donghai to come out as the screenwriter, so Xia Donghai was very energetic, and he refined the rough outline pulled out by Fan Wuxi, and added some fresh things, always wanting to be perfect.
The most critical place, in fact, is to shoot the fantasy part of the fight, about this part, Fan Wuxi asked them to prepare the details, disassemble them, and then hand it over to the American company's specialists to deal with, after all, the equipment there is much better than the domestic one, and the computer stunt talent is far better than the domestic one.
"About framing. There are probably several places, one is Xi'an, one is Hengdian, the other is Dunhuang, and some need to be filmed by the sea, but the main part is still done in Hengdian. Xia Donghai said to Fan Wuxi.
Fan Wuxian flipped through the plan they had made. asked with a deep groan,
"Hengdian, how is it being built now?" After he threw a lot of money over there, he didn't go to see it again, so what did the Hengdian Film and Television Base look like.
Can the first 5.2.0 be put into use? He knew nothing about these issues. mentioned the Hengdian Film and Television Base, Xia Donghai's interest was aroused, and Fan Wuxian said very energetically,
"Mr. Fan, I've already been to Hengdian. Sure enough, it was perfect, and basically there were buildings in the style of various dynasties in history. The feature is very strong! In the future, when we shoot films, we can basically do it in one place, and we don't need to go anywhere else! It seems that the funds in their plan have not been spent, and they are now preparing to build Hong Kong Street, and it is estimated that there will be some blockbuster filming in the 97th year, which will come in handy at that time! Fan Wuxian thought to himself, not only ninety-seven, ninety-nine is the 50th anniversary of the National Day, and there will be more films to present at that time.
It's just that it's too early to talk about it at this time, and then I thought that there would be a boom in costume film shooting in a few years, and the city buildings of various dynasties in Hengdian Film and Television Base are exactly what they need most for large-scale costume films.
"By the way, has the starring role been implemented?" Fan Wuxian asked the question he was most concerned about. The starring role can be regarded as the soul of a movie, in fact, most movies are in the same key, but the same tone, let different actors interpret it, will get different effects.
The first novel 520 and others are also down. But Jackie Chan, Liang Jiahui and Sun Zhou, Fan Wuxian asked Xia Donghai and they must invite them over.
Or maybe it's also an obsession. He didn't want the film he knew so well to become a mess.
"Jackie Chan and Sun Zhou want to watch the film, there should be no problem, but Leung Jiahui has agreed. I wanted to tell you about this for a long time, but I didn't have a spare time, and I couldn't remember it when I saw you. Xia Donghai replied.
The star paths of these three big names are different. Jackie Chan is the earliest one to be popular, after his debut in 75 years, there are many films that have come out, especially works launched after 87 years, such as "Dragon Brother and Tiger Brother", "Plan A Sequel", "Flying Dragon Warrior", "Police Story Sequel", "Miracle", "Flying Eagle Project", etc., all of which have a box office of more than 30 million, and the Japanese market is also quite good.
Last year, he filmed "Double Dragon Club", and is currently filming "Police Story 3 Super Police" directed by Tang Jili, which can be described as a busy person.
Debut (5) 20.0 Jackie Chan began to enter the Hollywood market as early as 1982, but his road to the international market was not smooth, and his first international work "Cannonball Speed" failed at the box office, and has not been able to get his wish until now.
Fan Wuxian was thinking that his big production might allow Jackie Chan to enter Hollywood two years ahead of schedule, after all, when "Myth" came out, it was a mess.
Sun Zhou is a little different, he is actually a director, and many of his works have won awards at home and abroad, but Fan Wuxian is optimistic about his talent for playing the bad guy, so he invited him to play the villain in the film, and he can still make time for it at the recent stage.
Of course, the price offered by Fan Wuxian is very high, which is also a reason for his heartbeat.
Compared with these two, Leung Jiahui's star path is a little tortuous. His acting career began with playing tricks for Chow Yun-fat.
In 1981, Leung Ka-fai was admitted to the 10th Artist Training Class of Hong Kong TVB and was a classmate of Andy Lau.
**.coM*** Stephen Chow failed this year, and was admitted with Tony Leung the next year.
Leung Ka-fai and Andy Lau were in the same wireless training class in the early days, and there was a rehearsal, the director asked Leung Ka-fai and Andy Lau to be assistants to Chow Yun-fat, Leung Ka-fai didn't sleep all night, racking his brains to figure out the performance method.
On the second day, when the director started filming, Leung Ka-fai was dressed in black and sunglasses, flying and domineering, and he robbed Chow Yun-fat and Andy Lau of the limelight, which made the director feel very depressed.
But reality is always ruthless, when Andy Lau's "The Condor Heroes" was broadcast on TVB, Leung Jiahui got a ruthless termination letter.
Later, Leung Ka-fai successively served as a fashion model and magazine editor. was taken by the great director Li Hanxiang.
Liang Jiahui never expected that he was scolded for playing tricks the year before, and stepped into the film industry the next year.
When Leung Jiahui received a call from Li Hanxiang from Beijing, he thought that Li Hanxiang was looking for him to be an assistant director or assistant director.
He felt that he had nothing to do anyway, and he would not suffer if he could go to Beijing for a whole year and follow the great director.
When he arrived in Beijing, Li Hanxiang asked him to shave his head to play Emperor Xianfeng. After filming Li Hanxiang's "Listening to Politics with a Curtain" and "Burning the Old Summer Palace", the 26-year-old Leung Ka-fai won the Best Actor at the 3rd Hong Kong Film Awards with "Listening to Politics with a Curtain", becoming the youngest actor in the history of the Academy Awards.
However, at that time, the Taiwan Cultural Affairs Bureau had a rule that all actors who had made movies in the mainland would be banned in Taiwan.
Liang Jiahui won the actor at a young age, and suddenly became the target of the Taiwan authorities, and the Taiwan company asked him to write a letter of repentance, but he just didn't want to.
So in Taiwan, all films in which he starred were not allowed to enter theaters. Not being able to enter Taiwan's cinemas means losing a large chunk of box office revenue, so Hong Kong film companies dare not ask him to make films.
Leung Ka-fai, who had a difficult career, switched to design, and worked as a street vendor with a group of friends who were engaged in art, selling jewellery and handicrafts, and giving hope to unlicensed hawkers.
Later, Chow Yun-fat interceded with him, and he was unsealed in Taiwan and was able to continue his acting career. In the past year, he starred in eight films, and this year's film contracts are also continuous, and he was able to agree to the film contract of the New Silk Road Company because he read the movie script and felt that this film was likely to enter the international market.
After all, if you want to enter the international market, one is to make a big production, the other is to be distinctive, and the third is to engage in some pseudo-technology, so as to bluff people.
Jackie Chan is very popular in Japan, Leung Jiahui is very popular in Taiwan, and he is also very well-known in the mainland, and the addition of Sun Zhou will at least make the film critics circle attract more attention to this blockbuster.
Fan Wuxi's abacus is indeed very fine, and Xia Donghai has never thought of these problems.
In Fan Wuxi's statement, the value of celebrities sometimes does not really reflect their artistic standards, but there are also some stars who can play a value far beyond their worth after combination, giving investors rich returns, which is also an important reason why he spares no expense to invite these three to join.
If there is no most suitable actor, this blockbuster can only become a bad movie with a huge investment, and it is even more foolish to say that it wants to recoup the investment or even make a huge profit.
"By the way, Chen Bisong and the others are coming back soon, the theme song of the myth, are you going to let her sing it?" Xia Donghai asked.
"This question is a bit hesitating." Fan Wuxian scratched his head, and it was a little difficult to choose for a while.
