Chapter 236: Epic Trilogy Plan

Just when the release of Hero 2 was in full swing, Yue Songren had already left the capital again.

This time he didn't go far, he was still in China, this was the studio's arrangement in the second half of the year, and it was also his own decision, because he was ready to start shooting a new film.

Not a Devil May Cry trilogy, but an epic trilogy!

There is no doubt that these will be the three largest investments of Yue Song's personal film studio since its establishment.

The epic trilogy, which was originally planned to start filming next year, was moved by Yue Song to this year.

Relatively speaking, the filming of Devil May Cry is the simplest, and the time is only two months, or even shorter, and the result of the original discussion with Shochiku Co., Ltd. is to start filming at the end of the year, so during this period, he has the time and ability to shoot a new film.

With the box office dividends of the first martial arts series arriving one after another, now the studio's funds are incomparably abundant, and Yue Song also plans to spend a lot of money this time, and he is no longer as petty as before.

Another more important reason is that the epic trilogy has too many restrictions, so that he can't give full play to his advantages, especially when it comes to war, the scene will definitely not be too small.

In this way, no matter how strong Yue Song's personal ability is, there is no way to affect the quality of the whole film, only by recruiting more people, the investment cost will inevitably increase.

In fact, this is not a good time to shoot an epic trilogy at this stage, with Yue Song's current cultivation, he is more suitable for filming some solitary hero type of one-man one-man show, which can really make him show his skills in large-scale films, it should be after he is promoted to the Dan Po Infant Realm.

But Yue Song couldn't wait.

The content of the epic trilogy is more sensitive. If you don't take advantage of the relaxation of the domestic environment this year, as well as the complete ignorance of him by the General Administration of Light and the Ministry of Culture, once the other party eases up, I am afraid it will not be so easy to wait for him to shoot next year or the year after next.

Not to mention anything else, as soon as the big hat of a national policy is buttoned down, unless he is out of the way, these three dramas will never see the light of day again.

After some consideration and pondering by Yue Song and screenwriter Chen Feng, the two finally decided on the order of filming.

First shoot the third part of the epic trilogy - Jedi Strikes Back, followed by the second part - Mourning the Heavenly King: Kill Hu Ling. Finally, the first part - the wind is flying.

The reason why the order of the trilogy is reversed. The main thing is for the difficulty of shooting, and to a greater extent to facilitate the preparation of the shooting period.

Because it is another huge project in the form of a continuous filming trilogy, Yue Song also gathered a lot of people this time, not only the Xiangjiang crew who had previously cooperated in the Hurricane Rescue and Martial Arts trilogy. There is also a Korean stick group that filmed telepathic teleporters and human-wolf battles. Of course, it is also indispensable to shoot the Japanese little devil group of Rogue Kenshin.

Yue Song's plan is to finish the shooting in three months. If it is put on other directors, this is simply a fantasy, and it would be good to be able to shoot one in three months. But for Yue Song, nothing is impossible!

With a huge crew of hundreds of people and abundant funds, the scenes in my mind are as if I am in the scene, and the people under my hands serve the three armies......

Under such conditions, unless he is incompetent, he will definitely be able to complete this job! 、

is now in the middle of the release of Wuxia 2, and when the news that he is going to shoot a new film came out, it immediately caused an uproar.

There is only one opinion inside and outside the entertainment industry: Is the little martial god dead?

If you think about it carefully, since his debut last year, in just one year, he has participated in the production of nine movies!

It is no exaggeration to say that in the eyes of the uninformed, he seems to be the representative of the new generation of iron men, and it is modest to describe it as a workaholic.

Originally, the outside world thought that Yue Song's plan for the second half of the year was only the Devil May Cry trilogy, but now that he looks at it, he is obviously not satisfied with his current results, and wants to go to the next level.

Many bosses of film and television companies are muttering in private, this kid shouldn't be here to grab a job, right? Does he want to dominate the film market alone?

really according to Yue Song's filming frequency, except for the three-month off-season, he can release one work every month of the year, how can other people live?

Of course, this is not the case in the real situation, for example, the martial arts trilogy was released at the end of the year and the spring and autumn of the following year, while the man-wolf war and the teleporter were placed around the summer file, and as for the rogue Kenshin and Devil May Cry, it is destined to be impossible to be released in the Huaxia area.

That is to say, most of the films shot by Valkyrie this time are to prepare for the box office battle at the end of the year.

Actually, Yue Song really thought so.

Even if he believes that he is omnipotent, it is unlikely that he will let the Rogue Kenshin be released in China, which is related to a series of issues such as national self-esteem, and it is not something he can do if he says it.

Devil May Cry could have given it a try, but obviously it couldn't be this year.

As a result, Yue Song lacked a work to be released at the end of the year.

The year-end Chinese New Year stall is the highest box office time of the year, how could he miss this opportunity?

An important reason for the filming of the epic trilogy is to seize the market in the Chinese New Year.

However, before the start-up ceremony started, all kinds of people or companies who wanted to plug in the bar had already crowded the headquarters building of Yihe Starlight, which not only annoyed Bao Minxing, but even Yue Song was quite resentful.

Among the people who came, there were not only many cooperation intentions brought by the senior management of film and television companies, but also the self-recommendation of the artists under their names, and many artists with a high reputation who were taking the initiative to show favor to Yue Song.

Three movies, even if it is a war film with a man as a one-man show, is destined to be indispensable for the participation of female artists, often the more this kind of large-scale, large-scale war blockbuster with grand investment, the more it can highlight the tenderness of women, and sometimes women are better than men in war films.

Bao Minxing's original intention was to take care of his artists, but Yi and Xingguang big cats and kittens have three or two, and the only ones who can handle it are Gao Yuanyuan and Yue Song, among the others, the male artists will not mention it, they are all at odds with Yue Song at the beginning, even if she proposes it, Yue Song will definitely not be able to get through.

It's okay for female artists to say that Gao Yuanyuan and Zhou Xiuna will definitely participate in the production, even if Bao Minxing doesn't mention this, Yue Song will give priority to taking care of "his own people".

Yan Yue was originally sure to join the crew, but she herself refused, on the grounds that her acting skills were not up to par, and if something ugly happened in such a big-scene war movie, it would definitely bring unnecessary trouble to Yue Song.

In fact, Zhou Xiuna also has this problem, but she herself is very self-aware and offered not to play the leading role, and she is satisfied with a supporting role with a slightly heavier role.

So Yue Song was as good as a stream, and among the artists under his company's name, only Gao Yuanyuan and Zhou Xiuna were recruited, and several rookies who signed contracts with his studio were also stuffed into the crew.

Anyway, he is not an important role, and he is not afraid of being called nepotism.

In addition, Chen Zihan also lost the possibility of cooperating with Yue Song again because he took over a serial drama.

Yue Song felt that it was a pity, and even thought about paying a liquidated penalty for Chen Zihan, but the beautiful sister herself didn't want to destroy her dedicated image for more than ten years because of this, and with her relationship with Yue Song, there would be no chance to cooperate again in the future, so why be in such a hurry?

In addition, there is Han Caiying, Yue Song originally wanted to pull her over to play an important role, but she learned that she fell ill due to overwork not long ago, and is now recuperating in the United States, so she really can't spare time to make movies.

None of them could come, which made Yue Song scratch his head a little, and it seemed that he had to open the casting to the outside world.

The first part of the trilogy he was going to shoot was set as the Jedi Strikes Back, and this film only needed one female character, which also shows the importance of this role.

So in the third week of the release of Wuxia 2, Dai Wentao once again held an interview and casting job.

As for Yue Song himself, he is still choosing a site in Inner Mongolia.

What the result of the casting was, he didn't know for the time being, but he received a call from an "acquaintance" who was not an acquaintance in his busyness.

"Busy man, what are you doing?" The voice on the other end of the phone was clear and pleasant, which also gave Yue Song a sense of déjà vu.

He thought about it carefully, and said in his heart, isn't this Qin Lan's voice? No wonder it seems that the caller ID is very unfamiliar, but it is calling from the capital.

"Sister Lan, why do you have time to call me today, don't you want me to show you a hand again? Let's say okay first, it's okay to eat, but it's absolutely not okay to drink, why...... I don't need to say more, do I? Yue Song laughed as he spoke, recalling the last time he was at Chen Zihan's house, Qin Lan was drunk.

Qin Lan snorted lightly, ignoring this kid's teasing, what happened after she got drunk last time, she didn't know anything about it, she heard this kid talk about it afterwards, who knows if it's true or not? But the fact that he was drunk in front of him really embarrassed Qin Lan a little, God knows if this kid took advantage of her.

"I'm not going to talk nonsense with you, let me ask you something, I heard that you are going to make a new drama, and there is still a lack of a heroine for the time being?"

Yue Song said: "It's three plays, not one play, didn't the media say it, I like the trilogy the most." ”

"Okay, the trilogy is a trilogy." Qin Lan coughed dryly twice and asked very seriously, "What do you think of me?" If you don't play a lot in this play, I want to try it too. Of course, the two of us are also drinking friends who have drunk together, and you still have to take care of acquaintances? ”

Yue Song admired Qin Lan's "cheekiness", but this is also the norm, let alone acquaintances, even people who have never met, hasn't he received a lot of similar calls in the past few days?

So strictly speaking, this is a qualified artist, why not use it if you have a relationship? It's not who owes anyone, as long as you open your mouth and say a few words, maybe the opportunity will come. (To be continued......)
