Chapter 156: Wang Guxian and Guan Zhilin
After the meeting, Ye Tian returned to the office, looked at the working environment, nodded slightly, read the newspaper, his eyes were attracted by a piece of news, Jiahe invested tens of millions of dollars to start filming special effects movies, and before he had time to be shocked, Cen Jianxun knocked on the door and came in, strode across the desk and asked: "The company has just been founded, and it can't withstand failure, why do you want to make martial arts films?" ”
Ye Tian said disapprenously: "Who said that making martial arts films would fail?" ”
Cen Jianxun scratched the top of his head and said stubbornly: "Maybe martial arts films won't fail, but there is no hope of success, invest more than 1 million, and earn tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, hundreds of thousands of dollars after working for so long, this is the result you want?" ”
"Do you think martial arts movies are not the best?"
"Nope!"
Cen Jianxun shook his head, Ye Tian took out a newspaper and asked, "Then why did Jiahe want to shoot "The Legend of the Swordsmen of Xinshu Mountain"? ”
"I ...... This? ”
Jiahe invested in the filming of "The Legend of the Swordsmen of Xinshu Mountain" and made a fuss, and it was rumored that the family invested 10 million to produce a sci-fi blockbuster, and Jiahe was not to be outdone, and also announced that it would invest 10 million to produce special effects blockbusters, "The Legend of the Swordsmen of Xinshu Mountain" and "Interstellar Blunt Tire" are all aimed at the "Best Partner" of Xinyicheng, in addition to the two giants vowed to enter the market, Hong Kong filmmakers were moved, and most of them joined the Golden Harvest camp. Shaw also turned a blind eye.
Ye Tian said patiently: "What I am shooting is not a traditional martial arts film, but a new style. ”
"What kind of style?" Cen Jianxun scratched his head again, what style is there in martial arts films, everyone is fighting around together, several sets of tricks have long been filmed, and many 'heroic' actors have been laid off. indirectly shows that martial arts films are lonely.
Ye Tian took out a pen and drew a few sketches on the paper, if even Cen Jianxun couldn't convince him, how could he persuade fans to accept the film.
"Now the fight scenes in martial arts films are too simple, it can be said that they are the same, and most of the artists who shoot martial arts films are older generation actors. has been popular for more than ten years, with the decline of martial arts films, and the fame has been surpassed by a new generation of actors, those martial arts films made by the Dian family, the props are old, a big knife has even been used for more than ten years, the costumes are rough, and fans have no sense of substitution, especially young people. They don't like to watch some uncles perform 'acrobatics' on the screen, they like novelties, you may not know, according to the survey of New Arts City, in the film industry, 15 to 17-year-old teenagers are the main consumers......"
Cen Jianxun couldn't help but interrupt: "It's because of this that "Happy Ghost" can make money, and martial arts films can't be sold for money." ”
Ye Tian waved his hand and said with a smile: "I haven't finished my words yet." Young people love novelty and fantasies. I will meet their requirements, they think martial arts movies are not good-looking, so I will make good-looking ones, so I am worried that the film will not be a blockbuster? ”
Cen Jianxun frowned and said, "I still don't understand." ”
"Do you think a person can fly in the sky?"
"I can't!"
"Do you want to see a man flying in the sky?"
"Did you say movies?"
Cen Jianxun felt a little unable to keep up with Ye Tian's rhythm, how could a person fly in the sky?
Ye Tian drew a figure on the paper, holding a sword in his hand. smiled: "Look at this picture, is there anything new?" ”
"No, it's ordinary!"
"You imagine using Wia to hang him up and keep him in the air. What do you feel? ”
"No...... Impossible, right? Cen Jianxun looked incredulous, and muttered: "No matter how powerful a person's martial arts are, how can he fly in the sky, won't he become a god, and fans won't believe it, think we are lying to him!" ”
Ye Tian sneered: "Fans don't believe it? Do movie fans believe that there are aliens in the world, "Aliens" is still a big hit, do you think Star Wars can happen, an event that you can't dream of, do you know how much money it makes when it is made into a movie? ”
Cen Jianxun nodded slowly, moved a chair and sat down, and asked, "How do you want to shoot?" ”
A new style of martial arts film?
After listening to Ye Tianyi's explanation, Cen Jianxun had to admit that the movie was very interesting, these new filmmakers' ideas were too novel, and such a whimsical scene could also be imagined, and the Shan clan produced so many martial arts dramas every year, if anyone thought of this, the Shan clan would not be bullied by Jiahe and Xinyicheng so much that they couldn't raise their heads.
Ye Tian groaned: "First of all, we must solve the coercion, stunts and other props, didn't Jiahe shoot "The Legend of the Swordsmen of Xinshu Mountain", just dig them at the foot of the wall, what special props, stunt talents, all dig up." ”
Cen Jianxun only nodded, he only had a preliminary understanding of Ye Tian's concept, but all movies need actors.
"What about the actors, do you want to invite the martial arts stars of the Shan family, they have a certain die-hard fans?"
"No way!"
Ye Tian immediately shook his hand and refused, the most important thing about new martial arts films is to look good, in addition to the picture, there is also appearance, Liang Jiaren, who plays Xiao Feng, has a lot of chivalrous style, and his acting skills are not to mention, but his appearance is too sorry for the audience, and boys and girls don't like it.
"An actor can not do martial arts, but he must be handsome, and an actress can never act in a fight, but he must be beautiful!"
Cen Jianxun suddenly smiled lewdly, blinked and said, "Mr. Ye, it turns out that you are also good at this!" ”
Ye Tian has a black line on his face, who said that ugly men are honest, this Cen Jianxun is not honest at all, no wonder he can mix with Hong Jinbao and Cheng Long, it is estimated that he is also a frequent customer in the nightclub, maybe he divorced his beautiful wife Xie Zhan because he always ate outside.
"The film will be filmed next month, and as soon as the celebration banquet is over, auditions will be arranged immediately."
"So fast?"
"yes, it's going to be released before the New Year."
Cen Jianxun nodded hurriedly, and at the end of the year, blockbusters gathered, including "Interstellar Blunt Tire", Jiahe "The Legend of the Swordsman of Xinshu Mountain", and "Best Partner" in Xinyicheng, all of which are big-budget big casts, and they are a martial arts film to join in the fun, and it is estimated that they can be laughed off by people.
"Mr. Ye, do you want to attract investment, during the days you went to Taiwan, Mr. He talked to me several times, we made a film, and they were willing to invest!"
"Jiahe He Guanchang?"
"That's him!"
Ye Tian refused: "Forget it, this movie is still our own investment." ”
Cen Jianxun proposed: "I think we can make a joint venture, this is a new theme after all, whether the audience can accept it or not, if you completely deny the style of martial arts films, it will inevitably take a lot of energy, from the new design, it is easy to say, we don't have cameras, costumes, shooting locations, and it is necessary to cooperate with large companies." ”
"It makes sense, since it is a martial arts film, there must be no modern buildings on the filming site." Ye Tian touched his chin and pondered, in fact, it could be changed to a modern background, but he was worried that his brain hole would be too big and the audience would not be able to accept it.
"How do you feel about working with ATV?"
Cen Jianxun was puzzled: "ATV? ”
"It's Li's TV, and Mr. Qiu intends to change the name of Li's to Asia TV."
Ye Tian explained quietly, he had an awkward quarrel with Yi Yifu, and he was worried that He Guanchang and Lei Juekun had bad intentions, so he could only find ATV to cooperate, as a TV station, ATV also has its own shooting base, especially Qiu Degen, which has buildings from various dynasties such as Song City and Tang City under his command.
"If you cooperate with Li, I have no opinion!" Cen Jianxun agreed with a smile.
"You send Mr. Qiu an invitation letter, and I will talk to him during the celebration banquet."
"No problem, do you want to be there, Mr. ...... After all, Mr. Qiu and Mr. Qiu are competitors? ”
Ye Tian laughed and said: "Let's send a copy, otherwise the tycoon still thinks that we look down on him, by the way, what is the movement on Mr. Lei's side?" ”
"Not yet!"
"Oh"
Cen Jianxun's expression became solemn, Oriental Entertainment's solo release of "Get Father-in-law" can be regarded as offending Lei Juekun, if Tiancheng Entertainment releases the film to Nanyang again, it is estimated that Lei Juekun will really be furious.
Ye Tian was silent, Asia TV is a good opportunity! Oriental Entertainment lacks talents, ATV has ready-made ones, and they can be borrowed for future filming, props, and studios, and even equipment such as cameras can be borrowed, leaving a large amount of rent.
"Mr. Ye, I'm going back to prepare the invitation."
"Go ahead!"
introduced a martial arts film to Cen Jianxun, Ye Tian had a lot of new ideas, and wrote a script outline with the background of "Smiling Proud Jianghu", Xu Ke's "Smiling Proud Jianghu" Ye Tian has watched it a few times, but he doesn't want to imitate it, Xu Guanjie He can't afford it, the salary is millions, ask him to make a movie, Oriental Entertainment is afraid that it will go bankrupt.
"Actors can invite Li Lianjie!" Ye Tian wrote Li Lianjie's name, because of "Shaolin Temple", Li Lianjie's reputation was shocked, not only Hong Kong, Japan, Nanyang, "Shaolin Temple" is very popular, and Li Lianjie is a mainland actor, there is only one work, and the salary is not high, which is a bit similar to himself, Ye Tian smiled, and asked Li Lianjie to act, it is a million profits, and he can make a cameo role in it, which can improve the quality of the whole film.
"Get the Father-in-law" is a big hit, and Ye Tian has this confidence.
"The most difficult thing to choose is the actress!"
Like "Father-in-law", Ye Tian encountered a dilemma again, he wanted to find a big beauty to play the heroine, but now there is a shortage of big beauties in the Hong Kong film industry, and with recognized beauties, Zhong Yihong and Chen Yulian are a little bit worse.
"It's beautiful and glamorous, so as to attract and attract the audience, Li Jiaxin's type."
Li Jiaxin is the most suitable candidate in Ye Tian's mind, but she is still a little girl now, she calmed down and thought about the Hong Kong actresses carefully, and wrote down the names one by one, Zhao Yuzhi, Mui Yanfang, Lin Qingxia, Zhong Yihong, Chen Yulian, Wang Guxian, Guan Zhilin...... First of all, Zhao Yuzhi will definitely not be good, Ye Tian first excluded Zhao Yuzhi, but he doesn't want his woman to scratch her head and pose on the screen to attract men.
"Hey, Wang Guxian and Guan Zhilin, they can try, but I don't know if the two of them have debuted!" (To be continued......)
