Chapter 201: Epic Trilogy
Thinking of this, Bao Minxing couldn't help but sigh: "You kid is really dead, can your body withstand the continuous rotation of this one by one?" β
"Small!" Yue Song shrugged nonchalantly, "If it weren't for the lack of experience and manpower, my filming efficiency could have gone further, and I would strive to achieve one movie a month in the future, at least six films a year, and no cap at most!" β
What else can Bao Minxing say? She could only smile bitterly.
Just for Yue Song's hard work, is it possible that she still splashes cold water? Besides, the higher Yue Song's efficiency, the more benefits it will bring to the company, right?
The only thing that makes Bao Minxing criticize is probably only Yue Song's skills as a director.
The director's skills are hard flaws, and Yue Song can't solve them, in the final analysis, he is just a "freak" who has mastered all the shooting techniques and skills and has extremely solid basic knowledge.
Yue Song can be as precise and rigorous as a robot, but he can't be like those experienced directors, who constantly burst out of inspiration in his mind, which is why when he shoots movies, he always imagines all the shots in his mind in advance, and then records them one by one through the camera.
To put it in layman's terms, Yue Song is like a shooting machine, but he does not show the talent of a director.
However, this is mainly due to age, and there are not many eighteen-year-old directors in the world, let alone shooting multiple films in a row.
What's more, this shortcoming can be improved over time, and as Yue Song's shooting experience grows, his films will inevitably form their own unique style. Instead of roughly imitating the shooting techniques of some famous directors as it is now.
After the exchange with Bao Minxing, Yue Song came to the downstairs of the office building where the company is located - this is where Yue Song's personal studio is located.
In a short period of time, he does not plan to completely break away from Yihe Starlight, as soon as he is next to the company, he can do anything by the company, which is very convenient to arouse, and Bao Minxing is also happy to contribute to the operation of the studio; Second, the scale of the studio has not been expanded for the time being, and there is no need to have much space at this stage.
Counting Yue Song himself, there are only more than 30 people in the entire studio. And that's in addition to the number of people in the Korea office.
In the studio's only one meeting room. Yue Song gathered all the staff together and held a short meeting.
At the heart of the meeting was the work schedule for the coming year β not a few films that had already been made, but plans for many more!
At present, Yue Song has the only arrangement on hand, and there is only this part of Rogue Kenshin. But he had another idea. It's just that it's not convenient to take it out for the time being. But Yue Song also hopes that everyone in the studio will be prepared, so as not to wait for the shooting plan to be arranged, and everyone will be in a hurry.
"Old Dai. How's the screenwriter hiring? Doesn't that mean there are a few good candidates? β
For mainland film companies, screenwriting is just a dispensable existence, and the story of most movies is decided by the director with a pat on the head, and at most a few screenwriters are found to be responsible for perfecting, like Yue Song before.
There are also many movies based on novels, after which the author himself became the screenwriter of a movie.
Yue Song doesn't want to do this, he hopes to formalize it, especially because his efficiency in making movies is frighteningly high, if he doesn't have enough shooting plans to prepare later, he will often worry about having no films to make.
Dai Wentao recruited editors for this purpose, hoping to find an editor who met his appetite, rather than those idealists who pursued art.
Dai Wentao coughed dryly, "I was about to tell you about this...... recruited a few screenwriters, and they all brought what they wrote, but none of them were commercial scripts, all of them were artistic. β
"These people are sick, right? Stupid in school? Yue Song pursed his lips impatiently, "Didn't you say that these are all top students from major universities and departments?" None of them have a normal mind? β
The group of people in the conference room couldn't help but laugh, these people knew very well what their boss thought, and those nerds would definitely not be appreciated by the boss.
Dai Wentao also laughed, and said after half a sound: "There is really one that suits your appetite, but it is not from a professional class, it is a wild man." β
"Oh?" Yue Song became interested when he heard it, isn't he himself Ye Luzi, "Ye Luzi doesn't matter, it's true if you have real skills, what's his name?" What for? β
Soon, a resume was sent to Yue Song by the assistant.
Chen Feng, male, Han nationality, born on January 25, 1983......
To put it simply, this person named Chen Feng is a graduate majoring in computer science, who has only been working for half a year, and in recent years, he has submitted his own story novels to newspaper publishing houses, and from time to time he has written a script to several major film companies in the mainland.
The result is obvious: since he went to college, no one has ever appreciated what he has written, publishers and newspapers have rejected manuscripts many times, and film companies have not even called him to refuseβon the grounds that he is unrealistic, too forward-thinking, and simply insane.
Speaking of which, Dai Wentao knew this person, as early as a year ago, when Yihe Xingguang also received the script from him, but the problem is that the company itself has no plans to carry out film production, and it was not until Yue Song joined that Bao Minxing changed his previous caution and began to invest heavily in film production.
Dai Wentao also read the script written by Chen Feng, not to mention the writing, the plasticity and excitement of the story can be called an ace screenwriter!
So why has he never met a talent?
The reason Yue Song also saw it, and Dai Wentao wrote an evaluation under his resume, and like other film companies, he thought that this guy was an unrealistic visionary, and the script he wrote was impossible to shoot at all - at least at this stage.
The assistant quickly handed over three more thick scripts.
An epic trilogy?
As soon as he saw these big words, Yue Song suddenly became interested.
Everyone knows that his first work is a martial arts trilogy, and the three movies have been filmed in a row, which can be regarded as fulfilling a dream of the word martial arts in his heart.
Now that a trilogy has popped up again, Yue Song really hopes that this is a good story.
With Yue Song's eyesight and reading speed, it only took him less than five minutes to memorize all the three scripts.
After reading it, he took a deep breath and sighed again, "It's a pity! β
That's right, it's a pity!
If nothing else, just the content and excitement of this trilogy, the word "epic" is absolutely true!
The first part of the epic trilogy - The Wind is Flying, the main body: love and faith!
tells a big scene in the late Tang Dynasty, the protagonist is the captain of the Tang Dynasty Western Regions Army Eagle Yang, the commander of the commando cavalry, because of the bright Sirius when he was born, so he was named Li Tianlang, in fact, he is a descendant of Li Jiancheng, the hidden prince.
The Flying Wind is a standard Hollywood-style blockbuster that can satisfy the male audience's yearning and pursuit of war, and also make the female audience intoxicated by the poignant love in the film.
Although it is fictional, in the real historical background, the quality of the script itself has nothing to say, and it definitely meets the standards of blockbusters.
The second part of the epic trilogy - Wu Mourning Heavenly King, the main body: troubled times and survival!
As soon as he mentioned this name, Yue Song instantly thought of a question.
No wonder no film company appreciates Chen Feng, let's ask today's Huaxia, who dares to shoot a character like Wu Mourning Heavenly King? Isn't this making yourself uncomfortable?
Not to mention anything else, just by taking out the "killing order", the General Administration of Light will definitely not be able to pass it, and the media will definitely go crazy!
But Yue Song was tempted, and he was really tempted!
He didn't even care about what the consequences were, and he had already decided that this movie would definitely be made, and it would be made according to the specifications of a blockbuster!
As the king of martial mourning who saved the Han nation, but he did not get a more fair evaluation from history, this is the biggest injustice in itself!
Even if this causes criticism and arouses the objections of many ethnic minorities, Yue Song will not hesitate!
After reading the script of Wu Mourning Heavenly King, Yue Song's heart was surging, and he was more interested in the next story.
The third part of the epic trilogy - Jedi Strikes Back, Subject: Honor and Duty!
The story tells that in 74 A.D., in the Western Han Dynasty under the jurisdiction of the Western Regions, the Xiongnu army and the Han army repeatedly fought for dominance, the battle was extremely fierce and cruel, due to the command error of the commander of the Han army, the Han army was ambushed by the Xiongnu, lost the mobile force such as cavalry, forced the Han army to shrink its military strength, retreated to the area of today's Urumqi, and a large number of military strongholds established before were destroyed by the Xiongnu one by one.
But in a place called Shule City, the Xiongnu suffered a big defeat, after more than two years of siege, never able to capture the city, when the Xiongnu had nearly 100,000 people (including vassal armies of other ethnic groups), the Han army in Shule City only about 2,000 people.
Although the Xiongnu took measures such as besieging the city, cutting off food, cutting off water, and persuading them to surrender, they were never able to defeat or force the Han army to surrender, and two years later, when the reinforcements arrived in Shule City, only 13 Han troops survived!
It is no exaggeration to say that this is an epic blockbuster that is enough to show the perseverance of the Han nation!
Throughout these three scripts, the first part is a fictional character placed in a real background, the second part is a realistic content that is so real that it is almost cruel, and the third part is a shocking embodiment of national blood.
Except for the first part, the remaining two stories are both sensitive genres, that is, Yue Song took a fancy to them, otherwise in another hundred years, no one would dare to shoot them.
"Good book! I want this person, where is he? Call him over right now! β
With a "bang", Yue Song threw the script on the table heavily, and slapped his palm on the notebook - fortunately, he reined in his strength at the last moment, otherwise this table would be dead. (To be continued......)
