Chapter 160: Crazy Stone
"Novel, adapted into a movie?" Gao Yan was stunned for a moment and said, "Does this novel have the potential to be adapted into a movie?" ”
"Well, I don't think there's a problem, the novel itself is very good, and now I heard that this novel has a tendency to be adapted into 3D animation, and there is a Taiwanese businessman who is willing to invest!" Wang Zhengfei said.
"3D animation!" Gao Yan showed a suspicious look on his face, in fact, he couldn't be blamed, the domestic animation is really not powerful, and the big truth is full of words, or it is an animal full of eyes, and there are basically human beings.
It's not good to do this kind of 2D animation.,I still want to do 3D.,Isn't that a joke?3D animation is not a new thing at this time.,But that's all monopolized by the United States.,It's not China's turn at all.,Even if China wants to shoot.,The hundreds of millions of dollars alone are enough to discourage many people.。
"Yes, 3D, naturally it can't do the level of the United States, but I don't think it's going to be any worse, and besides, this kind of work can't be done in a few years, after all, it's not a movie!" Wang Zhengfei said that if it is a movie, even if there are more stunts, a year is still enough, after all, most of the shots in the movie are played by real people, but this kind of 3D movie is not the same, it is completely virtual, and there are too many things involved in the technology.
"It's too early to say that in a few years!" Gao Yan thought for a while and said, "After all, the current domestic technology is not yet up to that level!" ”
"But I'm still very optimistic about him, so I ask you if you have any plans to adapt it into a movie!" Wang Zhengfei asked.
"I'll take a look!" Gao Yan said.
To decide where to make a movie where there is such a simple thing, it is natural to first have a suitable story script.
After saying that, Gao Yan didn't care that this was Wang Zhengfei's home, and he looked at "Qin Shi Mingyue" to himself.
Wang Zhengfei smiled slightly, stood up, returned to his room, and wanted to change into a t-shirt in the wardrobe, no way, this side of his chest was wet with crying on his chest just now, and he was really sad to wear it.
Wang Zhengfei changed into a snow-white T-shirt and walked out, seeing that Gao Yan looked surprisingly serious, he didn't bother him, and went into Vo Dan's room, and saw that Dan Vo had just finished putting away the dishes, and he was relieved.
Wang Zhengfei smiled and said, "It's all up!" ”
"Yes!" Dan Vo nodded, saw Wang Zhengfei change his clothes, and suddenly thought of himself crying in Wang Zhengfei's arms, and a trace of blush flashed on his cheeks.
"Who's that out there?" Just now, Danh Vo put all her thoughts on collecting the food, so she only knew that someone was coming outside, but she didn't know who was coming.
"Oh, it's your big brother Gao Yan, he brought me something, I forgot to bring it, and now I'm reading a novel in the living room!" Wang Zhengfei told Danh Vo with a smile.
"Oh, that's right!" Danh Vo nodded and said. "What novels does he read?"
"Oh, it's a martial arts novel brought back from Taiwan, and I was discussing with him just now, whether it should be adapted into a movie!" Wang Zhengfei said.
"Adapted into a movie? What kind of novel? Danh Vo asked.
"It's a novel called "Qin Shi Mingyue", I'll show you when the time comes!" Wang Zhengfei said with a smile.
"Yes!"
At this time, Gao Yan's call came from the living room: "Flying, flying!" ”
"It's coming!" Wang Zhengfei responded, "You play by yourself in this first, I'll take a look!" ”
After speaking, Wang Zhengfei turned around and returned to the living room, and when he saw Wang Zhengfei coming, Gao Yan said: "It's only been a short while, you're gone, it's not so sticky!" ”
Gao Yan looked in the direction of Danh Vo's room and smiled.
"Cut, who knows how long you're going to watch it, let me stay there and wait for you!" Wang Zhengfei immediately fought back and said. "What, you've read it all?"
"Well, I've watched it all and I have to say it's a good story, but this story is too long, and it's too reluctant to compress it into a two-hour movie!" Gao Yan said.
"We don't want to shoot the surname at one time, we can shoot it in three or five or eight episodes!" Wang Zhengfei said with a smile.
"Even if this is the case, it takes a lot of money in it, and hundreds of millions are normal!" Gao Yan smiled a little helplessly and said, Xingchen Entertainment's weak disciples are undoubtedly reflected at this time, although he has been managing well this year, but in addition to the three million invested in "Fairy Sword" before, the liquidity of the entire company is only more than 10 million, although it is much more abundant than a year ago, but it is still a lot worse to make a movie of this level.
Even if you add the 20 million that Wang Zhengfei can mobilize now, it is only 30 million, which is still far away, at least 70 or 80 million is also needed, if it is excellent, the cost of more than 100 million is not exaggerated, with the current situation of Xingchen Entertainment, there is no way to afford this kind of cost of shooting.
"Hehe, it doesn't matter, this plan will be sealed first, we don't have the strength to shoot now, but we can't be incapable of shooting in this life, right!" Wang Zhengfei said with a smile, in fact, he still has a way to do it, that is, to raise funds to shoot, it is normal for a movie to have several investors, but Wang Zhengfei also knows that Gao Yan will not agree, and would rather seal it.
"Yes, this is really good, I want to find someone to write the script first, it's one thing to shoot it or not, but it's always right to prepare first!" Gao Yan said with a smile.
"Let me do it!" Wang Zhengfei took the initiative to take over this job and said, it's not that he is really idle and has nothing to do now, it's just that he still has some ideas about "Qin Shi Mingyue", with the 3D version of his previous life as a reference, Wang Zhengfei feels that it is much simpler to adapt, and he is still very resentful of some problems with "Qin Shi Mingyue", and he is also very thoughtful about some plot bugs, although "Qin Shi Mingyue" is said to be good, but there are still a lot of bugs in the plot, For example, in the third part, Xiang Yu didn't even know the people of the Mo family, the life-saving benefactor, and when the time came, it was all bugs that Wang Zhengfei needed to modify, and he also had some modifications to the setting to complete by himself, for example, in the original book, Jing Tianming is a twelve-year-old child, and it is naturally not suitable to make a movie, because whether it is a novel, a movie, or an anime, they all pay attention to a sense of substitution, and the main force of watching movies is at least the age of a teenager or above, and a twelve-year-old child really has no sense of substitution. So even Wang Zhengfei wants to respect the original work, but he also has to take into account the actual situation.
"Okay, it's best to have you!" Gao Yan said with a smile, he believed that Wang Zhengfei's adapted script would definitely not disappoint him, there were already two pearls in front of him, and he still believed in Wang Zhengfei very much.
"But I think, you better write a new script, we Xingchen Entertainment, we haven't had a new work for a long time, we can't shoot this kind of big production for the time being, you just write some small productions that can be filmed!" Gao Yan said.
"You really think of me as a professional screenwriter!" Wang Zhengfei said angrily. "But I'll keep an eye on it!"
Gao Yan's words made Wang Zhengfei fall into contemplation, in fact, there are indeed a lot of good ideas in his mind, it should be said that a lot, originally he was involved in TV series a lot of times before, so he didn't have time to talk about these ideas and write them.
To be creative, to be a big seller, and the cost is not high, Wang Zhengfei began to think about it, but most of the movies in later generations were Wang Zhengfei suddenly thought of "Crazy Stone" in his mind, once this idea flashed, it suddenly became out of control, "Crazy Stone" is a modern comedy. The story begins with a valuable jade found in the toilet. A handicraft factory in Yucheng that was on the verge of closure found a piece of priceless jadeite when overthrowing the old factory, and held an exhibition for economic benefits, hoping to sell it at a sky-high price to improve the situation of not being able to pay wages for several months. Unexpectedly, the international thief Mike and the local thief trio led by Brother Dao all set their sights on Jadeite, and approached Jade step by step through their different "professional skills".
This story is not in line with Gao Yan's needs, the cost is low, and the associated publicity cost is only more than 4 million and 5 million, which is just in line with the strength of the current Xingchen Entertainment company, and the box office is good, with a box office of more than 20 million, although it is not particularly good, but considering his low cost, it is already very good, and more importantly, his shooting time is still short, only about 40 days, and the demon of "Immortality" before is not counted, in fact, "Crazy Stone" is already a leader in domestic low-cost films.
It is very suitable for the current Star Entertainment to shoot.
After thinking of this idea, Wang Zhengfei immediately decided to tell Gao Yan the story.
After telling Gao Yan from beginning to end, Gao Yan suddenly leaned forward and leaned back with laughter, although because it was Wang Zhengfei's verbal description, the ridiculous surname had been reduced a lot, but Gao Yan still listened to it and leaned back and couldn't restrain himself.
"Hahahaha, that's so interesting!" Gao Yan finally stopped smiling.
