Chapter 203: Another World
Movies are divided into five categories, namely family films, children's films, children's films, juvenile films, restricted films, and adult films.
According to the length of the vampire article, it should be in the fourth category of restrictions, that is, children under the age of thirteen are not allowed to enter the theater to watch, and between the ages of thirteen and seventeen must be accompanied by family members.
But what Momiji Entertainment didn't expect was that such a film that didn't seem too bloody and violent would be divided into the fifth category of films.
Here, the fifth category of films is synonymous with violence, pornography, swearing, and horror, and it is absolutely forbidden for children under the age of seventeen to watch it.
Even if everyone was prepared, they didn't expect the country to classify such films like this. But it's a foregone conclusion, I can only hope for a good reputation, and as for the box office, it's almost there.
In fact, at this time, Ye Zhiqiu and others also thought of the key, and the reason was that this film was too hot from before the start of filming to the end of filming.
Unlike many European countries with openness and freedom of speech, there are still great concerns in China due to the influence of thousands of years of traditional culture.
In fact, Ye Zhiqiu didn't know that because of this film, the relevant entertainment review departments also conducted several review debates, and finally positioned it as the fifth category of films in order to curb the rapid development of this type of film. At the same time, the most stringent review is also given in terms of the number of theaters released, so that it can only get the minimum number of theaters at each level, and it is strictly limited, even if the box office reputation is good, it is impossible to continue to increase the number of theaters to the maximum limit.
As a result, a period of time after the release of Night Vampire, many entertainment groups that were interested in making such films also dismissed the idea of shooting.
Although Ye Zhiqiu is now gaining momentum, has multiple identities, and has great box office appeal, he is not worth much among countless actors in the film industry. reluctantly stepped into the ranks of first-class artists, this is still considering Ye Zhiqiu's current reputation, and his current worth has reached 10 million.
Imagine that Liu Tianle's worth is only between 15 million and 20 million, and Ye Zhiqiu has only debuted for five years, even if he has acted in a few blockbuster movies, no matter how high his worth is, it is impossible to reach the point of 10 million.
Now in Red Leaf Entertainment, Qin Yan's worth has barely reached five million, not to mention Yan Xiaoqian and Xuan Xuan, Yan Xiaoqian barely reached one million, and Xuan Xuan didn't even reach one million.
This is the difference between movies and television, even first-class TV stars can earn two or three hundred thousand yuan per episode, and a TV series with dozens of episodes can get a huge amount of one or two hundred million, which is not to be underestimated. A better episode can get 108,000 yuan, a worse one can get 10,000 or 20,000, and even worse ones will end up with a few thousand yuan.
Don't think that two celebrities with the same popularity may have the same price for starring in a TV series or movie, and the difference may be 108,000 miles, which is unimaginable.
That's why Ye Zhiqiu quoted seven million when filming the night interview with the vampire, and after the Spring Festival Gala, based on his own popularity, under the leadership of the economic man, he increased the offer by three million at once, reaching the current number of 10 million. What Ye Zhiqiu didn't expect was that after the value of 10 million was reported to the Entertainment Guild, it was successfully passed, which shows that the value of Ye Zhiqiu is also very recognized.
On the other hand, although Ye Zhiqiu only filmed one Xiaoao Jianghu TV series, the price of the last episode in the TV drama industry also reached the sky-high price of 100,000. Although Ye Zhiqiu didn't think about filming a TV series, as an artist, the price he should have is a must.
With the offer, what Ye Zhiqiu didn't expect was that many entertainment groups actually contacted Ye Zhiqiu's agent directly, wanting to invite Ye Zhiqiu to join in the filming of movies or TV series. Obviously, Ye Zhiqiu is favored and favored by countless people. As for what is valued, it is nothing more than the huge market and appeal that Ye Zhiqiu is hiding now.
Take the Condor Shooting, which is now ready to start filming, Ye Zhiqiu is even a supporting role, but Hongye Entertainment will ostensibly give Ye Zhiqiu a salary of 100,000 yuan for one episode, which is still the price of a cameo, not the real starring role. As for the other actors, they all looked extremely embarrassed, and all of them combined barely reached Ye Zhiqiu's standards.
But the benefits of having Ye Zhiqiu are also obvious, Condor is only announcing the news of the start of filming, although he is not directed by Ye Zhiqiu, but because of the hot sales of Condor novels and comics, there are more and more TV stations that come to buy the broadcast rights, and the price is getting higher and higher. With several leading actors not participating in the show, his worth has more than doubled.
"It's time to prepare for the Night Vampire release......"
In the Fengyun studio, everyone did not breathe a sigh of relief, but felt a lot of pressure.
"If the box office is not good, but the word-of-mouth response is good, do you want to continue filming?" Lu Chen asked.
"Take 25 days as the standard, as long as the country can reach 50 million, then continue to shoot, and if it doesn't work, find a way to distribute it abroad." Ye Zhiqiu finally spoke.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, it was a pity that such a good script was thrown away like that, and now that they got this reply, several people were relieved.
"By the way, how is our computer stunt crew, can we catch up?" Ye Zhiqiu asked.
Lu Hedao, the leader of the stunt group: "A special effects team of more than 30 people has been successfully established, all of whom are masters. ”
Ye Zhiqiu relaxed a little, although Hongye Entertainment has this kind of group, it basically doesn't play a role, and can only be reluctantly applied to some TV series, and it can't be used in movies at all. Coupled with the growth of the Red Leaf Entertainment Animation Department, it has now expanded to a scale of several hundred people, forming several departments and more than a dozen groups for comics, but it has come to the forefront of comics. Publishing comics has become a system, and the speed is extremely fast.
"Although Liang Zhu and the subsequent Xiaoao Jianghu movie version don't use many stunts, almost most of them are stunts, Lu He, you have to speed up the time run-in, get ready, first make the big head special effects such as the sword pool, the life chart, the Lingyun Cave, and the fire unicorn in the Fengyun script, and then integrate inward."
Lu He nodded, knowing that his team finally had an official task. He believes that during the period when Ye Zhiqiu was filming Liang Zhu and Xiaoao Jianghu, he would definitely be able to do this perfectly.
Ye Zhiqiu said again: "What I want is shocking, surpassing the original work on the basis of being faithful to the original work, and in terms of special effects, I can't distinguish the real from the fake, and I can't find the slightest loophole." ”
Lu He said cautiously: "Is it a reference to the martial arts in the comic version?" ”
Ye Zhiqiu said in a humming voice: "I will then ask the Red Leaf Entertainment Comics Department to hand you a detailed information, and you can refer to the comics and materials to make ......"
Ye Zhixin's comic style has reached its peak, not only with the artistic conception of Chinese painting, but also with the gorgeous and realistic oil painting, so once Fengyun comics come out, it will have such a great impact.
What's more, Fengyun's painting style surpasses all previous comics, and in the shaping of characters and swords and beasts, after referring to Ye Zhiqiu's proposals and corrections, it has reached the point of reaching the peak.
So whenever an episode of Fengyun Comics is released, it will be sold out in a short period of time, and the ones that are usually snapped up are collected as treasures after they have seen it.
Ye Zhixin also officially became a comic master with the comic of Fengyun, and won the title of the youngest beautiful cartoonist and beautiful comic master, and his works were made into hardcover editions, and the collector's edition was sold abroad at a high price. Although the fans he has are not as good as Ye Zhiqiu, he is also compared with many first-class artists.
Thinking of the blockbuster era in the future, Ye Zhiqiu felt that it was still not enough.
He said cautiously: "Thirty people in the special effects team is not enough, at least sixty people or more, don't be afraid to spend money, I need to form the most professional stunt team." ”
Everyone looked at each other, not knowing what Ye Zhiqiu wanted to do.
"Are you planning to shoot a blockbuster?" Ji Wenhao and the four couldn't help but get excited.
Lu He gritted his teeth and said, "I will do my best to do this." ”
Ye Zhiqiu thought of epic series of films such as The Lord of the Rings and Pirates of the Caribbean, which require more than just a huge special effects team. An experienced special effects makeup team is also needed.
"Haibin, your makeup team is also going to work harder, time is not waiting." Ye Zhiqiu said to Haibin who was trimming his nails.
Haibin smiled: "Allah, I have already found a way to dig up a lot of masters over this time, I still say the same thing, that is, if you want to turn people into pigs, we can do it for you, you can rest assured......"
Ye Zhiqiu was speechless, this guy's mantra is this sentence that turns people into pigs, and his makeup ability is not to be underestimated.
Thinking that the shooting of the condor was about to start, Ye Zhiqiu said: "The shooting of the condor will start soon, you come with me and make up for the four of us." ”
Haibin nodded and said, "Little meaning, I'll do this." ”
With the start of filming a few days later, Ye Zhiqiu also entered the Condor crew, and Haibin is indeed extraordinary, but Ye Zhiqiu has aged a lot, and he can't see any flaws. Because Ye Zhiqiu was going to shoot Liang Zhu later, Ye Zhiqiu asked to shoot his scene first. So for a while, the entire crew revolved around Ye Zhiqiu, and in less than ten days, Ye Zhiqiu's scene was filmed.
Although there were many difficulties in playing the role of Ouyang Feng during the period, Ye Zhiqiu's acting skills have made great progress, and after several adjustments, he has completely taken it down.
The time entered April 1st, and the night visit vampire finally had its national premiere, and the fans who had been paying attention for a while began to move.
At the premiere, as the leading actor, Ye Zhiqiu accepted interviews and questions from reporters, and sang a song on the spot.
In the theater, many viewers were curious about this controversial film from beginning to end. And many teenagers under the age of 17 have no chance to watch the film because of the rating system, which causes many teenager fans to complain but have nowhere to post, complaining for the first time about how they can be so small...... No one expected that as the first day of the film ended, several comments and reports about vampires would soon appear. In the past few days, more and more entertainment reports and film critics have published reviews of mixed quality as if not to be outdone.
Among all the reports, three of the reviews from three famous directors in Huaguo were extremely popular for a while, standing at the top of all reviews.
Zhou Mutai, one of the super directors of China, is also Ji Wenhao's idol.
Zhou Mutai's article said: "The history of vampires is no less than that of any mythical god in China, and in my opinion they are closer to reality and more reasonable. Since ancient times, people have always had different views on the soul, and as a result, countless cultures and legends of gods and demons have been produced in various countries and thousands of years of history in various countries around the world. Among them, vampires and werewolves occupy a large part of the Western ghost culture system......"
"Actually, I'm curious why Ye Zhiqiu supervised the production of a vampire film, instead of a ghost film in the traditional sense of China, or a zombie film similar to a vampire......
Although Zhou Mutai's article is about history, almost everyone can see that he still supports and admires Fengyun Studio for doing such a thing, but because he stands at the top of China and walks on the world stage, it is difficult for people to grasp the handle when he speaks.
After Zhou Mutai, Lu Zhishu, another super director of Huaguo, also seemed to have made an agreement with Zhou Mutai, praising the portrayal of people's surnames in the film Night Interview with Vampires and promoting the support of humanitarian ideas, but did not mention whether such films should be made.
The third is Chen Youyou, the director of Huaguo University who has intersected with Ye Zhiqiu, praised this as a very wonderful film with the most direct praise, and claimed that he watched it twice in one go, and was very touched, and hoped that the audience could watch this film with an objective and rational attitude...... The influence of the three is huge, basically guiding the audience's weather vane to watch the movie, making some dissenting film critics strange.
At this time, Ye Zhiqiu and others reacted, these three top directors actually didn't want to praise anything, but wanted to use their own fame to make Huaguo face this kind of theme. It's just that because of the state, it was not explicitly stated, but an objective evaluation was given.
For many people, they didn't understand the meaning of it, but they were stupidly affected and went into the theater to watch the film.
Countless viewers who have watched this film are all surprised by this, and they are shocked by the points expounded in the film from beginning to end, by the beauty of the film, and by the confusion and pain of the protagonist struggling on both sides of the surname.
Many viewers even entered the theater several times to watch the film and posted their support for the film through the Internet.
"In my opinion, this is a great film, not only opening a new chapter of cinema, but also embodying a strange and different world for us......"
