Chapter 110: Terracotta Warriors
"You're stupid" Carl glanced at him: "How much advertising money did we make from filming "Man 100%", not to mention a purely commercial film like "Speed and Leakage". Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info”
Liang Xiaolong's eyes suddenly lit up, "100% Men" Nike alone provided a sponsorship fee of 8 million US dollars, and after the release, it will have to add sponsorship fees according to the box office, at least tens of millions. And "Speed and Leakage" is a purely commercial film, and no one can say anything if you insert more advertisements: "Whatever you do, the advertising cost can be tens of millions of dollars." Carl said: "That's the reason, before the film, the heroine is working in the cafeteria, let's find Uncle Mai or Uncle Gnaw; The car in the film, you can find a car company, they will not only send the car they need, but also have to pay another money; In addition, the modified car shop where the actor works, the shooting location, and the clothing brand of the hero and heroine...... I made a preliminary estimate that the filming of "Speed and Leakage" could raise at least 30 million or 40 million in sponsorship fees. ”
John Woo couldn't laugh or cry when he heard this: "You guys are just borrowing chickens to lay eggs, but I will never affect the quality of the film by inserting advertisements." Liang Xiaolong smiled: "Don't worry, we are just inserting advertisements reasonably, but Director Wu, I also have some requirements, first of all, actors, there will be no famous movie stars, and they must all be young people." ”
This is also a reference to the development process of films from previous lives, because this kind of film is mainly aimed at young people, and they are all played by young people, which will definitely resonate with young people. As for not using famous movie stars, of course, it is to save production costs, otherwise the two male protagonists in it will use famous movie stars, and the salary alone will be one or two million. John Woo has no opinion, as long as he can do a good job in the quality of the film, coupled with reasonable publicity, even if he does not use famous movie stars, the box office can still go up.
After making the request, Liang Xiaolong began to talk about the information he learned in his previous life, mainly two points: the actors in the previous life were sent to learn drag racing and drifting before filming, and many scenes were completed by the actors themselves during the filming process, unlike other films that were dragged by other cars to shoot, so that the scene would be more realistic, but it was also relatively dangerous. So Liang Xiaolong just proposed, Wu Yusen can do whatever he wants. The second is the sound effect, which can further stimulate the audience's audio-visual tension by recording the sound of the car starting or telling the various parts in the drive.
"Good way, with the most authentic voice, the audience will definitely have a more sense of substitution." John Woo agreed: "Then we will start preparing for filming tomorrow, and first find the actors." Carl smiled: "Yes, the most important thing is to choose actors, it is best to be handsome men and beautiful women." Liang Xiaolong's forehead immediately swelled with black lines: "You guy, you don't have a good heart again." Carl snorted: "It's better than your domestic unspoken rules, we play 419 (what is that in one night) is your willing." Liang Xiaolong rolled his eyes: "Come on, just your ruffian temperament, be careful of the virus." ”
John Woo couldn't help but smile bitterly, seeing that these two young people in Hollywood actually opened their mouths to discuss their unspoken rules, which was going to be heard by thousands of fans of Bruce Leung, and I don't know what it would be like to be disappointed. Liang Xiaolong said again: "Director Wu, "Terracotta Warriors" is about to be released, you have to come to the premiere." John Woo said: "Of course you have to go, this is the first Hollywood film to shoot our Chinese theme." Seriously, captain, don't look at your young age, but I still admire you, less than two years after stepping into the entertainment industry, you successfully pulled Andy and Wu Jing to Hollywood, and when "Terracotta Warriors" is released, Jet Li, Michelle Yeoh and Wang Zuxian may also have to step into Hollywood, laying a solid foundation for later generations to bring Chinese movies to Hollywood. ”
can be recognized by John Woo, Bruce Leung is also very proud, but if you want to develop Chinese films, Liang Xiaolong alone is not enough, if you can't improve the level of the entire film industry, although Chinese films can occasionally shoot a film that is popular and sold in Hollywood, it is impossible to get long-term development. Especially the censorship system of Chinese films, mostly for political purposes, Liang Xiaolong even doubts that he will be allowed to shoot the anti-Japanese war blockbuster of the expeditionary force in this era, after all, the expeditionary force is the first law, and now the relationship between the two sides of the strait is not as loose as in the 21st century, if you don't get domestic support, no matter how good the script is, you can only stare dryly.
Liang Xiaolong remembers that the rapid development of Chinese films was only after the establishment of China Film to shoot a series of blockbusters, and it can be said that China Film has made great contributions to the development of the domestic film industry. But the establishment of China Film also means that the Chinese film industry has entered a state of disability, a dominant company, a lack of competition, although it can take off for a period of time, but after all, it is not a long-term solution.
Of course, Liang Xiaolong's heart is not big enough to change the Chinese film industry, and those things with political overtones are by no means something that can be changed by one person. What he wants is to try to let more Chinese-language films appear in the United States, so that one day when Chinese films are fully industrialized, they will enter the American market and will not be rejected by American audiences. That's all Liang Xiaolong can do.
"Terracotta Warriors" is the beginning of Bruce Leung's project, Hollywood's first Chinese-themed film. Similarly, Disney also played this slogan: "Hollywood's first Chinese-themed film will take you to the mysterious oriental culture." "Oriental culture is the first to see, taking you to see a different world" "You will have the honor of being the first fan to see oriental culture in a movie. ”
Although economically backward, it is culturally known as an ancient mystery, and Disney's slogans can undoubtedly arouse the curiosity of movie fans, and in order to satisfy this curiosity, many people are willing to go to the cinema. Moreover, according to the survey, the most anticipated thing in Hollywood this year is not "The Peerless Tribulation", which has invested more than 100 million, nor "100% Men", which has caused madness twice, but "Terracotta Warriors". Even the media exclaimed again and again: the crazy terracotta warriors and horses have rushed from China to the United States.
8.14, the premiere of "Tomb Robbery: Terracotta Warriors" will be held as scheduled, and Liang Xiaolong's family has already prepared to watch "Terracotta Warriors" at the last stage of the premiere. ”
Emperor Qin, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty were all emperors with a strong stroke in Chinese history, and compared with these three people, the other emperors were much worse. Hearing the old man say this, Liang Xiaolong couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Grandpa, the film is atmospheric, but it is not a film of the Qin Dynasty, it is a bit similar to a ghost movie, writing that Qin Shihuang and his terracotta warriors and horses were resurrected during the Liberation War, and then caused a series of strange things." Xiao Tingting immediately screamed: "Listen, don't go to the movies, Tingting is afraid of ghosts." Liang Xiaolong grabbed the little guy and kissed him: "Tell you, there are flying dragons, fighting apes in the movie, and terracotta warriors and horses that can run and understand." The little guy's eyes lit up, and he immediately changed his mind: "Tingting is going." ”
The old man, Ye Ying and Xiao Tingting will enter the theater like fans, while Liang Xiaolong and Rachel will walk the red carpet to build momentum for the film. When Liang Xiaolong got out of the car with his left hand down, the fans immediately shouted: "Captain, we love you." There are even many fans who sang "TakemetoYourHeart", of course, their voices are much better than Liang Xiaolong.
Liang Xiaolong smiled and greeted the fans, and Brandon suddenly walked over: "Captain, long time no see." Then he was about to give Liang Xiaolong a bear hug, but was stopped by Rachel: "Go aside, do you want to send Xiaolong to the hospital again?" Brandon couldn't help but smile: "I almost forgot about this stubble, but captain, you deserve to be the strongest man in Hollywood, life is hard, harder than cockroaches." Liang Xiaolong couldn't help but glance at him: "Compare me with Xiaoqiang, is there such a burying person?" ”
This moment was quickly locked by the reporters' cameras, and the reporters wondered if it would be written in the newspaper tomorrow: Rachel cares about the captain and stays by the captain's side at all times. The tabloid reporter wondered if it was going to be a little exciting: Brandon grabbed a woman with the captain and was blocked by Rachel.
Liang Xiaolong didn't know the unbridled imagination of the reporters, otherwise he would have been so angry that the three corpses would have jumped: "Man, I've traveled for so long this time and visited a few countries. Brandon said: "The main tourist destinations are still China, Haiphong and some countries in Asia. You don't know how lucky I am, when I traveled to Yunnan, I saw someone gambling on stones, so I bought one. ”
Gambling stone, is to bet on the jade rough, through the texture of the color to judge whether there is jade inside, if you can cut out the jade with good color, you can immediately achieve dozens of hundreds of times the profit. However, due to the limited resources of jadeite, this activity is very rare in the 21st century, and Liang Xiaolong has only learned about it on the Internet in his previous life. Hearing Brandon say this now, his eyes immediately lit up: "Cut out the jade?" Brandon said, "That's right, yellow, I don't know much about jade, they say it's a rare chanterelle, it's only the size of an egg, but it's worth millions of dollars." ”
Imperial green, chanterelle yellow, blue water, blood jade...... They are all the most precious varieties of jade, Liang Xiaolong had to give a thumbs up: "Your kid is really lucky enough, you can cut out such a precious variety of chanterelle, you must know that in ancient times, this kind of jade made of chanterelle yellow can only be worn by the royal family." Brandon said: "No way, the character is good, it's good, unlike some people, who have nothing to run to let the shrapnel bite, it's pitiful." ”
"Get out" Liang Xiaolong glanced at him, turned around and walked to Mark's side: "Man, I haven't watched the film at all, how is the quality?" Showing the bottom made me a little mentally prepared. Mark smiled: "You will know when it is released, I can guarantee that it is definitely beyond your imagination, I watched it again when the dubbing was finished, tsk... Don't be picky, I've decided, I'm going to make a blockbuster film with an ancient Chinese theme next year, or will you help write a script? ”
