Chapter 256: The Source of Believers

Since he plans to shoot a truly "epic" level movie, Yue Song will naturally not be stingy.

A sum of money was sent out in exchange for a large amount of information and manpower and material resources, and judging from the financial resources spent, it really tasted like the eve of the war.

Of course, just relying on the studio itself, it is absolutely incapable of this, not to mention the lack of personnel, just in terms of experience, including Dai Wentao, no one is sure how much preparation work needs to be done to shoot these two dramas.

In addition to the dozens of people in the studio, Yihe Xingguang was about to be hollowed out, and even the vice president Bao Minxing was too busy to touch the ground, and after being busy, he was so tired that he broke his legs.

But this is obviously far from enough to support the filming of two epic masterpieces, so more entertainment companies that are trying to intervene have probed into the news, trying to find any opportunities from them.

It's a pity that in the face of these people's earnest concern, Yue Song firmly refused.

He is not short of money or manpower, he only lacks experience.

These people think that they can take advantage of him, but they don't think about it carefully, is his advantage so easy to take advantage of?

Dai Wentao was a little interested in the olive branches extended by several industry bigwigs, but he didn't say it, he didn't say it, he was nominally the head of the studio, but in fact, he couldn't be Yue Song's master at all.

According to Yue Song's idea, in the future, as long as it is a movie shot by himself, there will never be words such as co-production at the beginning of the movie.

He just wants to eat alone, and he also has the confidence to eat what he likes in his stomach.

As for whether it will attract malicious snoops, that's for sure!

But so what? Could it be that there are still people who pose a threat to him? If you think this way, it's best to take a look at the General Administration of Naked Feet first!

The three masters of Zhongying were all tossed by him, and the new successor completely turned a blind eye to what Yue Song did, which in itself already shows the official attitude.

But then again, the manpower and material resources required to shoot this kind of blockbuster are indeed calculated in astronomical numbers, and close to the power of Yihe Starlight and the studio, there will be no good results if he barely survives, so Yue Song doesn't need a partner, he just doesn't need a partner who wants to be the best.

After some screening, Yue Song finally finalized Media Asia as the only partner.

It's not unintentional for him to do this, the main reason is that Lin Jianyue has mentioned it more than once, and it just so happens that Yue Song also wants to return his personal favor, so he simply dragged Huanya onto the boat together.

Lin Jianyue was naturally overjoyed, he originally planned to start filming a large-scale costume film at the end of the year, just taking advantage of this opportunity to add some experience to the drama he invested in.

Yue Song and the old fox chatted on the phone for a while, and quickly settled the matter.

When he learned that Lin Jianyue intended to invest in a big production, Yue Song was curious for a while, and couldn't help but ask him who he planned to invite to act, Lin Jianyue laughed, and asked Yue Song if he was interested in joining, but naturally he was politely refused.

With Yue Song's needs for believers, it is absolutely impossible for him to shoot a multi-protagonist movie.

Lin Jianyue was also simply, knowing that Yue Song refused to come, he immediately reported the names of three people.

"Jet Li? Andy lau? Takeshi Kaneshiro? Yue Song's heart moved, and he said that Lin Jianyue was going crazy!

These three people, no matter which one is singled out, have enough box office appeal, even Takeshi Kaneshiro, who has a slightly weaker appeal in the Chinese-language film market, can definitely occupy a place in the market.

Three big names joined at the same time, and as long as the script of the play was not too bad, success was almost predictable.

After congratulating Lin Jianyue, Yue Song also thought about it, and secretly said whether he should also find a few powerful actors to join the new film.

Not to mention the Jedi counterattack, except for Qin Lan, who also has a little weight, this play is purely his personal one-man show.

But the next two plays are different, in addition to him as the leading actor, several very important supporting roles are also indispensable.

In terms of actresses, Yue Song has enough self-confidence, and it can even be said that he can't find a few actresses who can reject him, but male actors are different, those who are successful and famous, who is willing to give him a hand?

The reality is so ridiculous, what he likes, people may not be able to look at him, what he doesn't like, but some people take the initiative to post it upside down, such as several artists under the Emperor.

Compared with last year's martial arts trilogy, today's Yue Song can be said to be one of the best figures in the entertainment industry.

In fact, Yue Song himself didn't even come forward, so he directly asked the assistant to send away the two agents.

At that time, Huo Wenxi called him to question him, thinking that with the emperor and his friendship, the two main supporting roles should still be satisfied.

But Yue Song blocked Huo Mature Woman back with a sentence - these two are too short, you can find me two tall, not less than 1.8 meters.

This can stump Huo Wenxi, there are many handsome men and women in the Xiangjiang entertainment industry, but it can be said that it can meet Yue Song's requirements, such as the height limit, unless you go to find a professional model, how many Xiangjiang male artists can reach 1.8 meters tall?

Yue Song didn't mean to embarrass Huo Wenxi, he himself is 1.88 meters tall, and he is looking for two people with an altitude of about 1.7 meters, which is too discordant!

Besides, since the epic trilogy is filmed in the mainland, of course he has to find mainland actors to play it, not to mention that he can't look down on Xiangjiang's costume dramas in his bones - except for martial arts films - in Yue Song's eyes, as long as Xiangjiang movies involve ancient history, they are equivalent to being insulated from the profession, and they can be evaluated in two words: brain-dead!

can shoot a movie with a historical theme with a martial arts flavor, it is estimated that the director of Xiangjiang can do it, anyway, Yue Song looks down on and can't look down on the professionalism of these people, except for the crew members under him, everyone else is 100% local......

The responsibility of selecting actors is handed over to Dai Wentao, anyway, Yue Song is only responsible for the final check, as for how many people are willing to come for an interview, it is none of his business, as long as the selection of several heroines is still in his hands, he threw some other things to Dai Wentao as much as possible.

During this period, the box office of the man-wolf war continued to perform well.

In the third week, the mainland box office was 51 million, a decline of about 30 percent, and the total box office has exceeded 200 million, becoming Yue Song's fourth work with a box office of over 100 million.

So far, he has also created a new record, that is, every movie starring him has a total box office of more than 100 million!

In this country where the film market has not yet been fully developed, the attention of the media and the audience is not even focused on the total box office, and there is only one focus of everyone's attention, that is, the words "box office over 100 million".

In today's Chinese film market, how many people can guarantee that their works can gross over 100 million? Not to mention more than 200 million.

Obviously, the box office success of the wolf war has once again stimulated many film companies, and it has further promoted the popularity of the film market in the coming period.

Affected by this, Yue Song suddenly found that the number of fanatical believers was like a blowout, and it was out of control, and in just one week, the number of people increased from 5,700 to 6,900.

Just looking at the current posture, before the full-scale drawing of the man-wolf war, the number of fanatical believers is expected to exceed 8,000!

This is what satisfies Yue Song the most, the box office is more or less empty, and only fanatics are the most effective explanation.

It's just that Yue Song is also a little puzzled, is the man-wolf battle so good?

When filming this drama, it was purely a temporary idea, and he didn't think too much about it at all, but the problem is that Yue Song understands very well in his heart that the man-wolf battle can only be said to be exciting enough and a good popcorn movie, but what is the specific quality, it is really a matter of opinion between the benevolent and the wise.

Judging from the fact that when Wuxia 2 was drawn, the fanatics barely started with just over 5,000, and now it is close to 7,000, a man-wolf war seems to have contributed 2,000 fanatical believers to him, but Yue Song can see that there must be other problems in this, and it is definitely not just a movie of man-wolf wars at work.

If you want to find out the truth, it is actually very simple for Yue Song, you only need to connect with the soul and mental power of the fanatical believer through your own divine sense.

After some "peeping", Yue Song finally figured out the original story of the incident, but he also had a feeling of crying and laughing.

It turned out that this sudden extra number of fanatics was not all brought by after watching the man-wolf war, but the three dramas before Yue Song.

Although the first two parts of the Hurricane Rescue and Martial Arts trilogy are drawn in English, this does not mean that these three movies will not be seen from now on.

At the beginning, it was just a pirated version that was not very clear, and at this juncture, the growth of fanatics was not too obvious, even after the release of the DVD of Hurricane Rescue, the effect was not very obvious, and it was not until the first two DVDs of the martial arts trilogy were released one after another, and the situation changed significantly.

At Yue Song's insistence, the DVD version of the martial arts trilogy set a shocking price of Chinese cabbage - eight yuan!

What is the concept of 8 yuan in 06? This price is almost exactly the same as pirated discs on the market!

In other words, Yue Song is holding the idea of selling more than nothing, and he is fighting with pirates.

Yue Song can decide the price of the movie DVD in one word, but the pirate dealer is not so worry-free, after all, the price of the DVD version of the high-definition movie is about the same, in this case, you can't change the price of all other pirated discs because of one or two movies, right?

In the end, the pirate can only pinch his nose and admit it, at most he won't make your money, no matter how good you are, there are only so many movies a year, since you can pull down your face and reduce the price of DVDs to the same price as pirated discs, it's a big deal that we won't do your business!

So a very strange thing happened, there was no pirated disc of the first two parts of the martial arts trilogy on the market!

If you want to say that pirates are also wonderful people, these people probably also have a series in private, and when they are summed up afterwards, they simply go to wholesale genuine CDs, anyway, the wholesale price is cheaper, and it is not unprofitable.

What's even more strange happened, the genuine DVDs of the first two parts of the martial arts trilogy appeared in the pirated disc market in large numbers, and they also sold quite well!

People who buy a disc to watch will definitely have a comparison in their hearts, seeing that the disc is genuine in quality and content, but the price is the same as piracy, but if you are slightly interested, eighty percent will pay for one.

This is how the unexpected joy comes: genuine CDs are being sold at the price of pirated CDs, and sales have been rising, with more than 5 million copies sold in the mainland market, and it seems that it is not yet the end of the day.

Yue Song doesn't care about the little money in DVDs, what he really cares about is the million people who have watched DVDs.

Take Yue Song himself as an example, his movies really have to go into the cinema and spend money to buy tickets to watch, a movie is full of two or three million viewers, but this also involves a problem of timeliness, a movie is usually released for more than a month, and it can't be compared with the long release period of DVDs in any case.

DVDs can be sold for many years, and to a certain extent, the number of fanatics that DVD brings to Yue Song is actually more than the release of movies. (To be continued.) )
