Chapter 213: Make a Wish

After the press conference, it was finally time for "That Man from Earth" to finalize the cast.

Before this, Chen Mo had completely revised the movie script, raising the character design and several main plots in the story.

For example, the content involving theology, the original content of the movie that the main character is Jesus was deleted and replaced with Lao Tzu...... Uh, old man.

Isn't there an allusion to the purple qi coming from the east, the old man rode a green ox out of Guguan, and he didn't know where it would end.

Immortality is immortal, so the loophole that you have to leave once every ten years has also been strengthened here to make up for it - people of that era are not very passionate about immortality, so they mistakenly think that the protagonist with the pseudonym Lao Dan is a Taoist who understands immortality, and then the reason why the protagonist left is because it is unbearable.

Moreover, in Lao Dan's life deeds, there is a record that he first made a diagram administrator for the Zhou royal family, and then lived in seclusion, which has enough room to play on the topic.

Then Lao Tzu went out of the customs and traveled west to Tianzhu to teach a little apprentice, whose name was Gautama Siddhartha.

Then Chen Mo opened up another brainstorm, and let the protagonist continue to roam west to Europa, and in the first year of the Western calendar, he and two retinues on the Mediterranean Sea, which happened to coincide with the croaking of a child and gave a few gifts, and the child's name was ...... Jesus.

The Green Sect Chen Mo didn't touch it, and he was afraid that he would be eradicated in the name of jihad.

Chen Mo's series of plots made the religious scholars hired to help fill in the gaps couldn't help but half-jokingly say: "Mr. Chen, I'm a little afraid that Taoists will use your movie as evidence that Taoism is above the other two religions in the future." ”

In addition to this religious change, Chen Mo also changed the original plot that the protagonist and Van Gogh were friends, and changed the protagonist's painter friend to Wu Daozi.

Otherwise, not much has changed. So after Chen Mo's script came out, the other anthropologists, biologists, and psychologists who were hired to consult all had a feeling of impressment on Chen Mo.

Because the scripts written by Chen Mo according to the original movie, those that involve anthropology, biology and psychology are desirable for these real experts, which makes them unable to believe that Chen Mo's education is only high school.

Chen Mo could only be forced to lie. He said that he had read a lot of books in the two years he was in prison, books on various aspects.

"Xiao Chen, to be honest, you can't make me fully believe this explanation! You know, I can't help but start thinking about whether you, the leading actor in the thought-provoking movie script, are writing about yourself. ”

The religious scholar who was inclined to Taoism among them said to Chen Mo in a joking tone.

"It's really not, it's just a random science fiction story...... In fact, the main reason is that there is not enough funds. Otherwise, I would definitely play metal and laser, after all, that kind of movie is higher at the box office. If you still don't believe me, take me to the slices and study! ”

Chen Mo hurriedly denied that he was unwilling to carry this pot.

Many people are obsessed with vampires, and on the surface it seems to be obsessed with the mystery and elegance of vampires, but what is it that is obsessed with the appearance? It's not just two words - immortality.

Not only could ordinary people not resist the temptation of immortality, but even human elites would still be crazy for immortality, otherwise the wise and martial Qin Emperor Han Wu would not be fooled by the magicians.

"Living research is a felony. Besides, at least I don't believe in this kind of thing, human beings can't live longer than three hundred years. After this time, the cell can no longer divide and renew, and failure and death are inevitable. ”

Biologist Interface said with a smile.

"A few decades ago, medical experts insisted that human beings would not live to be 150 years old, and with the development of medical technology, human life expectancy will inevitably be longer and longer.

The one who refutes the biologist with medical theories is none other than the religious scientist.

This is not surprising at all. From the very beginning of Taoism, there was the idea of pursuing immortality, and burning pills and refining medicine was a traditional reserved program, and many Taoist priests were part-time doctors and health experts.

"You're talking about the future of medicine, we're talking about the past! Past. Even a small typhoid fever will kill many people, and even the most noble son of heaven rarely lives past fifty, long live a thousand years old...... Is it possible? ”

Historians also joined in the debate.

"If you study history, you must know who Peng Zu is. Peng Zu is not an emperor, but 800 years old is history, right? As for the hundred-year-old ancients, it is even more innumerable, reasonable health care coupled with God-given longevity genes, can affect the life expectancy, you can't deny it, right? ”

The religious scholar immediately asked rhetorically.

"I really can't deny the genes of reasonable health and longevity, and there were indeed many people who lived for more than 100 years in ancient times, but these are still special, as for Peng Zu...... Since you also know that I am a student of ancient history, then of course I can say responsibly that there are many false exaggerations in the ancient official history, not to mention the informal records of Peng Zu, which should be counted. ”

In the field in which he is proficient, historians are naturally able to speak the first word.

"You said that there are special cases, so can't there be special cases for a thousand years old? Besides, you said that Peng Zu's affairs should not be counted, but there are clear records of his longevity in those books, and you can prove that he lived a short life, what about the evidence? Take out the evidence in black and white, and I will believe you. Just like Xiao Chen's script, those people question the protagonist, but the protagonist can push back those doubts one by one, even if they can't provide evidence to fight back, they can also make it impossible for both parties to falsify, isn't it? ”

Religious scholars are one against the other, but all of them are defeated.

Chen Mo quietly took two steps back, completely placing himself in a small transparent position, and he looked at him without speaking.

In fact, after several experts argued, where did anyone still think of Chen Mo, so Chen Mo, who was quietly listening, triggered a lot of new ideas and inspiration from the continuous collision of these experts' thoughts.

A free brainstorming was picked up by Chen Mo.

And the final result was that Chen Mo made a few minor adjustments to the content of the movie, making the adapted plot of "This Man from Earth" more impeccable.

So after the script was finally taken out, no one was able to find the loopholes in the plot in logic and language.

Everyone's worried. It's just a matter of how much box office this movie can get in the end, and whether it will hit the street at the box office.

In this world, movies with good reputation and box office scum have gone to the sea, but there is no shortage of latecomers.

Everyone is not an old actor with a supporting role for 10,000 years, and the box office of the first movie that switched to the new owner hit the street. It's not nice to get out.

There's no way, there are only eight main characters in the movie, and 90% of the scenes take place in a living room, and even the scene transition can be said to be no, except for the fierce collision of thoughts, there is no more intense and exciting content.

So even if the plot is flawless, even if it makes people feel refreshed after reading it, it's not enough.

"But at least it's definitely not a bad movie, is it?"

Chen Mo used this sentence. successfully persuaded these actors, actresses and prospective actresses.

It is a coincidence that when Chen Mo confirmed this, it coincided with Director Yu Bowen and Yu Da returning to Beijing to do business, and now Zhou Renliang, who has started filming "Warm Corpse" independently, also came back to stand on the platform for the press conference of Storm Audio, so as soon as these two old partners combined, they recommended themselves to rob the director's work.

Anyway, the drama that can be filmed in two or three days will make up for the delay.

Chen Mo would not refuse. The picture production skills of these two directors are there, and Chen Mo is very relieved.

And so. called again and called three senior models, two small models, and two well-known makeup artists, and arranged the living room of Chen Mo's villa on the spot, and the movie started filming.

Although the film was only filmed in two or three days, the two directors meticulously carried out the start-up ceremony and offered sacrifices to the drama god boy with fragrance.

This thing that had never been seen before opened Chen Mo's eyes. For the first time, he knew that in this parallel world, he did not worship the God of Wealth and Emperor Guan, but to worship a play god boy he had never heard of, and he had to pay attention to the direction when worshipping the gods, and the direction of the god platform must not be wrong......

With the idea of believing it, Chen Mo is the producer, producer and screenwriter. also mixed in the crowd and burned three sticks of incense to the play god boy.

"The drama prodigy, the drama prodigy, if the box office of this film led by me exceeds 100 million, I promise to mold a golden body for you at that time."

Not only did he worship God, but Chen Mo also made a wish.

"Boss, the wish of the drama god boy can't be made indiscriminately, if the box office is not enough, then it will be fine, if the box office really breaks 100 million, you must not forget this golden body! If you make a wish or don't repay your wish, when the time comes, the drama prodigy will be angry, it is not a joke, the filming scene will not become popular for some reason, and the company will go bankrupt inexplicably, it will be light! ”

Chen Mo's wish was noticed by the leading director Yu Bowen, and before the show boy waited for the official filming to start, Yu Bowen deliberately pulled Chen Mo aside, and told him so seriously.

"Don't worry, Director Yu, I won't forget it."

Chen Mo nodded and confirmed, he was indeed just in YY, after all, according to his memory, the box office of the movie "This Man is from Earth" did not break 100 million, but since what Yu Bowen said was so scary, he would not let Yu Bowen have a pimple in his heart.

Chen Mo's good attitude really made Yu Bowen very satisfied, and he even suddenly felt that Chen Mo, a little Chen Ben movie, might be really possible at the box office...... Breaking 100 million?

Oh, this idea is so crazy, how can a super small-budget movie with a production cost of only about 100,000 yuan break 100 million at the box office?

But even if you only get a box office of 10 million, can it be regarded as a high return and a big success?

Well, the script is really good, although the scene has not been changed, the content is still very gripping, and the box office of about 10 million should not be a big problem!

Thinking about it like this, Director Yu immediately became more energetic.

The scene was filmed in two days, Chen Mo followed and watched the filming for two days, but he learned some filming techniques and acting skills of the movie.

is probably still influenced by the original version of Chen Mo, Chen Mo can almost draw inferences about these films, although he didn't express any opinions in the two days of the filming, but he has a lot of personal thoughts about the movie in his heart.

Chen Mo did not express his personal thoughts, but several actors, actresses, and prospective actresses who participated in the filming of the movie have very good ideas about this play.

The first is to play the male lead, that is, Gu Xiongqi, a 15,000-year-old ancient man, and the first sentence after filming is: "Haha, I finally played the male protagonist who is not in ancient costumes, this feels so cool!" ”

Then Xiaohuadan Fang Keqing also said: "Senior Brother Gu, are you sure that you are really not an ancient person?" ”

asked this, Gu Xiongqi hadn't answered yet, and the three actresses who deliberately dressed up in middle-aged and elderly clothes to match the setting of the movie were collectively amused.

For the three actresses, the movie was very easy to shoot in the past two days, everyone talked and laughed and laughed like a vacation, and the vacation location was actually the villa of the new boss, which was very interesting!

After learning about it in the past few days, after exchanging opinions in private, the actresses have come to the conclusion that Chen Mo, the new boss, is very talented, generous, and easy to get along with, which makes them finally let go of the last doubt in their hearts......

It's just that although the movie has been filmed, Chen Mo is busy again, because he definitely can't hide from the background of the movie.

It was all cold and biting, and Chen Mo, who was afraid of the cold, completely copied the music of the original movie, but rearranged it with more Chinese instruments, and took it to the Five Music Workshop to gather musicians to record it.

Seeing that Chen Mo brought a bunch of musical scores, and Qiu Fang, who hadn't heard Chen Mo's new song for a while, was suddenly refreshed.

It's just that the higher the hope, the greater the disappointment, and after discovering that these new songs are all pure music in the background of the movie, the old owner Qiu turned around and left with a sad sigh, and he didn't even have the interest to continue to stay and listen to these pure music.

"Xiao Chen, you have fallen!"

Before leaving, the old owner Qiu sighed at Chen Mo.

"Old Qiu, I think I can still rescue it, but I don't hide it, I'm afraid of the cold...... So what, when the spring flowers bloom, I promise to release a new song! ”

Chen Mo, who was wearing thick clothes and wrapped himself in a live-action version of Michelin, hurriedly cried out for himself.

"A new song in the spring?"

Old Qiu turned around and ran back again.

"Well, the spring flowers are blooming and there is a new song!"

Chen Mo nodded hurriedly.

"Spring beats six or nine heads...... "The old owner Qiu pinched his fingers, and then immediately sighed: "Hey, this will take a full fifteen days!" ”

"Old Qiu, I mean spring is blooming, but it's not spring."

This month has arrived, of course Chen Mo has also glanced at the calendar a few times, if it is according to Qiu Fangzhu's algorithm, he will start recording songs again on the twenty-fourth day of the lunar month, which is absolutely unacceptable.

The ancients have long said that it is called "long work, short work, and twenty-four full work in the twelfth month."

It's all full of work to go to the New Year, where is the reason why I still have to start work on the 24th of the lunar month?

Besides, it's called Hanako for three days! I'm not so miserable that way, so why don't I have to live six days, right?

Then, according to tradition, after the ancient government was sealed before the year, it was reopened after the Lantern Festival in the next year, and the fine traditions of the ancestors could not be lost!

In order to defend his right to be lazy to the death, Chen Mo fought with Qiu Fang owner and his old man. (To be continued......)
