Chapter Forty-Eight: This Man Is From Earth

Assistant or something, Wang Zhengfei hasn't thought about it yet, what does he want an assistant to do with hands and feet? But when the work is busy in the future, maybe it will be or not, when he is busy in the dark, he really needs to have such a person to help him have a basic concept.

After returning to the topic, Wang Zhengfei began to really think about the route of Xingchen Entertainment, after all, according to the contract, he has 20% of the shares, Xingchen Entertainment can also be regarded as his company, now Xingchen Entertainment does not have much liquidity, if you want to make a movie, you can only work hard in the direction of low-cost movies, but even if it is a low-cost movie, these two million are indeed a little less, as far as Wang Zhengfei knows, "Crazy Stone", which is known for its low-cost movies, is also about the cost of four million. Of course, if it's filming a romantic literary film or something, and you don't invite any big-name directors and actors, it may be enough, but even if it's enough, where will the publicity money come from!

It's still too reluctant to make a movie for two million, after all, not to mention a movie equipment and the like, these can still be rented, but going out on location, personnel expenses, salary, a bunch of problems.

Wang Zhengfei has countless good movies in his mind, but the premise is that he has to have money, and everything is in vain if he doesn't have money.

Wang Zhengfei thought about it, what kind of movie is now affordable by Xingchen Entertainment!

Suddenly, the name of a movie rushed into Wang Zhengfei's mind, "This Man is from Earth".

What would you think if a person told you that he lived for 140 centuries, that he was a caveman, that he had the opportunity to sail with Columbus, that he had the opportunity to listen to music with Beethoven, that he had painted with Van Gogh, that he had listened to the teachings of Shakyamuni, that he had lived --- Jesus, that he had the wisdom that time had piled up, and that one day you suddenly realized that he was a friend of yours, a colleague with whom you had spent many years? Question him with a myriad of questions? Or believe him? Ask him countless questions?

"That Man from Earth" tells the story of a 35-year-old history professor at Harvard who suddenly quit after a decade of work, leaving his colleagues puzzled and meeting at his home to urge him to explain. But they were surprised by the reason John proposed: John claimed that he was immortal, had lived for 14,000 years, and could not stay in one place for more than 10 years, or his secret would be discovered. In the face of John's arguments, the crowd began to question him......

Basically, this is a pseudo-science fiction film with the hat of a science fiction blockbuster, the lasers that were common in science fiction blockbusters in the past, spaceships, can't be found here at all, there are no dazzling stunt pictures, and no one needs the protagonist to save, a few sofas, a stove, a few scholars, and they started talking, and the whole film is explained by language.

A single scene, where several people sit around the fire and talk about a certain topic, is not uncommon, such films are not uncommon, such as Xu Jinglei's "Dreams Come True". From a film point of view alone, it is difficult to make any breakthroughs in the shooting of this kind of film, whether it is character scheduling or empty shots, it will seem decent.

However, for Wang Zhengfei and Xingchen Entertainment, what kind of film art, what breakthrough, is still too far away, for Wang Zhengfei, being able to get a good box office at a low cost is the biggest goal.

And most importantly, this legendary sci-fi blockbuster has a very low cost, only $10,000, which even a company like Xingchen Entertainment can complete.

This movie gave Wang Zhengfei a very deep impression at the time, before Wang Zhengfei really didn't know that there was such a low-cost movie, or with the name of a sci-fi blockbuster, although it was a pseudo-sci-fi blockbuster, but the only problem was that this movie was an adapted movie, and there was the original original novel.

And it is essentially a Western film, even if the copyright is bought, it is not suitable for a Chinese remake.

However, "This Man is from Earth" gave Wang Zhengfei an inspiration, so he simply didn't remake it and filmed his own.

Thinking of this, Wang Zhengfei's head quickly thought that he had to replace this environment with China.

The protagonist is one of the five hundred boys and girls who followed Xu Fu to the sea to find the elixir, and after several years of searching for the elixir overseas, the boy grew into a teenager, and because of an accidental reason, he ate the elixir originally given to Qin Shi Huang, and since then he has become immortal.

He once incarnated as Zhang Liang to help Liu Bang defeat Xiang Yu, and also used the pseudonym Huo Qubing to attack the Huns.

once drank wine with Li Bai and discussed martial arts, and also once recited poetry with Su Dongpo.

Because of the relationship of immortality, he can't stay in one place for a long time, and he has to move every once in a while, and an accident, a group of colleagues came to the protagonist's house as a guest, and found that the protagonist's home was full of antiques that seemed to be real and fake, and the protagonist, who had always been showing a well-off family, began to tell his story.

In the midst of this, all kinds of doubts and inquiries came to the face.

The routine of the story is roughly the same, but the plot of the story inside has completely changed, and all kinds of reasons and explanations must be said decently, after all, this can basically be said to be a new story

(This has to be said, this script pinch, are all self-created drops, there is no corresponding movie, last time I wrote a Xiaochen version of "Myth", it may be too detailed, many people asked me, where to watch this "Myth", and maybe the old book friends still have some impressions that Lin Ping opened the concert, sang a song "Men's Walk" and many book friends asked me where to download it to listen, cough cough, it was all nothing, it was written by myself, I don't know if there is a master of composing music to help compose a song! )

After having this idea, Wang Zhengfei did not hesitate and immediately told Gao Yan, Gao Yan immediately frowned when he heard that it was a sci-fi blockbuster, but after Wang Zhengfei's idea in court, especially when he knew that he only needed to invest one or two thousand yuan to get it, he suddenly became interested.

Originally, this was a story that won by the plot, and the story can be said to be interlocking and fascinating, and Gao Yan was easily attracted by this seemingly true story.

One or two hundred thousand yuan, even if it is doubled, it is not a burden for him, but it is just a matter of raising his hand, even if it fails, it is nothing, and it will not affect other plans, at least this story sounds much more interesting than those scripts that were solicited.

But this is only a preliminary idea, there are still many things to do if you want to really write a script, at least every other link must stand up to scrutiny, after all, this is a sci-fi blockbuster with a winning plot, and general sci-fi films are all plots that are rotten and rely on special effects to win.
