Chapter 138: I Want to Make a Movie
Yanjing has lifted the lockdown, students have returned to school, and people have returned to normal life, and the threat from the epidemic situation is getting smaller and smaller, and in the past few months, it has suppressed and suffocated the people in China.
In the art industry, the only gain during this period of time is that many TV dramas have received more attention, especially some famous old TV series, which have been replayed over and over again, and some sketches have been said, the innate advantages of TV dramas are familiar, and bad TV series can have a certain rating, everyone is at home and there is no other entertainment activity, and the safest, healthy and hygienic way is to watch TV.
Yang Yichen's fame during this period of time not only did not decline because of low exposure, but his influence among the people became more and more great, first personal donations, and then public welfare songs, when everyone wanted to know about him, only to know that he had achieved such achievements in the music world, although he participated in several movies, although they were all supporting roles, they all cooperated with big names, won the Golden Horse Golden Statue Award for Best Supporting Actor and Best Newcomer, and was known as the uncrowned king at this year's Academy Awards.
Needless to say, the results in TV series have been broadcast on various TV channels during this time. The fierce and brutal but affectionate Liu Huaqiang in "Conquest", you look at the huge contrast between Liu Huaqiang played by him and himself, it is enough to see how much effort he has put into this play, in northern China, the name Brother Qiang defines Liu Huaqiang played by Yang Yichen; The amazing costumes and skillful acting skills in "Heaven and Dragon Slayer" have created a way to shoot costume dramas in the genre of youth idols, before non-iodine, there have been many investors who are eager to try this industry, and the ready-made script Gulong Jin Yong's novel is placed there, and the new actors with handsome guys and beauties are found at low prices, and they also train newcomers, this market is simply a huge cake, and anyone can go up and taste a big bite; "You from the Star", following the hit in China, has set off a huge wave in the whole Southeast Asia, the whole Southeast Asia, you go to a city street interview, few people don't know Professor Chen and Qian Songyi, Yang Yichen perfectly created a man who can't be picked on for the entire Asian women, and also made all the large-scale zuò idol dramas in this period of time stranded to avoid being compared, which aroused a large number of idol drama shooting with small investment, completely following the trend of shooting, and not afraid of being compared and scolded, the more the better, The more you scold, the happier you are, if you scold me and compare me with you, the more people will pay attention to me, which is the most important thing.
Three TV series, in the past few months, have been broadcast on one TV station during the day and at night, although it is not up to the scene when you turn on the TV is Gege, but when you turn on the TV, you can see Yang Yichen, which is more reliable.
With such a hot popularity, the entire art world has restarted from hibernation, and after "Mobile Phone" also restarted filming, the company also began to urge Yang Yichen, hoping that he could do his best to resume work, and he was still thinking about what to take out first, and he planned to wait until the crow who left to see the phoenix a few days ago came back before starting to work, seeing that the company was very urgent, he had to report to the company in advance.
"It's dark, it's strong, it's not right, it's the whole person who feels harder, Chen Zai, to be honest, what have you been doing all this time?"
Everyone is on vacation, they are facing the epidemic in their own way, and they are reluctant to contact too much on weekdays, they all know each other, maybe you don't feel afraid, and the other party is your good friend, but how do you know that the other party is not afraid, in order to avoid embarrassment, they all choose to have less contact, and after more than two months, Yang Yichen will see Yang Yichen, Da Wang, Xiao Wang, Wang Jinghua and others feel that his whole person has changed somewhat.
At first, I thought it was dark and strong, but I found out that it wasn't when I looked closely, that feeling was a bit like watching a basketball player, just started playing professionally, you felt that you were slender and strong with a lot of muscles, but after a few years, you found out the comparison of the two photos before and after, the weight may not change much, and the body shape has not changed, but you just feel that the latter is stronger, the curve of the muscles and the healthy gloss of the entire complexion, and even if you look closely, you will feel that the edges and corners come out, the fat in the body is squeezed out as much as possible, and the muscle groups are more dense, I feel very hard and strong, and I am filled with a different sense of strength.
"I want to make a movie."
In a word, Yang Yichen pulled everyone's minds back, and immediately the high-level got together for a small meeting, and Xiao Steel Cannon was also pulled over to participate in the meeting.
"Chen Zai, aren't you going to shoot "Blood Romance"? Why do you want to make movies again? Xiao Gangpao didn't have so many scruples when he opened his mouth, it didn't involve the absolute interests of each other, he could express his opinions very subjectively, and he didn't need to worry about offending Yang Yichen.
Seeing everyone's concerned and curious eyes, Yang Yichen smiled and didn't take the script, what he wants to shoot doesn't need a complete script, take out the core and shoot it well to achieve perfection, and then tell the story completely, it will definitely succeed.
"Even if non-iodine is in the past, the country is also tired, and the people have suffered a great torture physically and mentally, I think that whether it is the country or the people, they need a cohesive force to move forward, I don't want to shoot the main theme, and I don't plan to shoot the touching deeds in the process of fighting against non-iodine, I admit that I am not good at catching tears, and I want to shoot the same exciting military theme, modern military theme, a special forces movie that I tentatively set as "Knives Out".
Military themes? Commando? What is there to shoot this, many forbidden areas will not allow you to shoot, except for those mysterious places, the rest is nothing more than training training that is extremely hard, and taking a shot of the drill confrontation is not a real knife and a real gun, can the people buy it? If you want to make a military theme, it is better to make a film in the war era, you can get more materials, and you can meet the violent aesthetics of some audiences.
"Chen Zai, Director Feng has always had a script for a war movie in his hand, and we have been thinking about it." Dawang won't say this, he can only say it through Wang Jinghua's mouth, filming movies is a big investment and a big risk, and it seems impossible to rely on Yang Yichen's signboard alone.
Yang Yichen has also considered this problem, he is very confident, the way of shooting, especially the fighting battle, is the reference to the later "Wolf Warrior", but it is more complete than that, and will integrate some classic episodes and training methods in "I Am Special Forces" and "Soldier Assault" into the protagonist's body, so that the whole character is fuller, and more cool points that were played rotten in the era of "Wolf Warrior" but have not been in the downturn of the military theme at this time, it can be said that this is a film that will open the Internet era a few years later. A collection of various cool points of individual heroism and teamwork, the core is not a wolf warrior, nor am I a special soldier, let alone a soldier assault, but if it is a person who has crossed or been reborn, he will definitely see their shadows in it, and only military films with modern themes can have a small team or individual heroism model.
""Ip Man" has been shelved indefinitely, hasn't the outside always wanted me to make an action movie? Don't you want me to continue to show off my body after the Grammys? I think that such a carrier, a history of the growth of modern special forces, will make it easier to show my own advantages, and there will be a lot of hand-to-hand combat armed combat and gunfight scenes in the play, and the story only needs to be simplified. ”
Hearing this, Xiao Gang Cannon frowned, others think that it is a gimmick to take Yang Yichen's first self-directed and self-acting and the first action movie as a gimmick, it is still very funny, there is no need to worry about publicity, and it is more revealing to directly take out a propaganda photo that shows the figure and tough guy image, but it is the little steel cannon that has always stood on Yang Yichen's side, he has always been committed to telling stories well, and when he heard that Yang Yichen wanted to simplify the story and highlight the fight scenes, he didn't agree with it, but he still said euphemistically: "Chen Zai, making movies is not making TV series, You should be clear that you won't be given much time. ”
"One hundred and twenty minutes."
In a few years, movies of this length abound, but most of them are still under 100 minutes, and what Yang Yichen knows will not be risky has really become a model of unconventional maverick in the eyes of others.
Da Wang asked a more practical question, this question is only aimed at Yang Yichen, even if it is a small steel cannon, he will not ask this: "How much investment do you need?" ”
Yang Yichen knows that this is the most critical issue, he can't always shout that you don't invest in me, that's not what a mature man should say, but he has already prepared in his heart, if the company doesn't invest, he can invest privately, and the military theme will be popular on the screen in the past two years, and the audience is ready to appreciate the tough guys in the army, at such a moment, just after the disaster, the people are confused and need someone to inject them with a force, Yang Yichen didn't think that his film was that force, He just wants to say that after watching my film, you can get excited, feel energetic about what to do, and you can clench your fist when you come out of the theater, and that's enough.
"I need to coordinate with the army, provide the gunships and tanks and armored vehicles required for certain shots, and at the same time I also need a lot of blasting shots, I don't need to blast with people in the center of the lens at close range, the blasting level during the movement of the car is OK, in terms of actors, I am not prepared to spend too much money on this, and I am not ready to pay for a single line of obvious prices, and start new people in a large area."
"Chenzai, have you figured it out?" Da Wang understated.
"Hmm." Yang Yichen has a mirror in his heart.
"Okay, take the script out, the company will specifically research and invest, a military theme, I don't think there is any possibility of implanting a brand, right?" Da Wang didn't expect this sentence to be answered, his understatement was already the determination to control a qiē by himself, Yang Yichen didn't use the identity of a major shareholder to force the shooting, but Da Wang couldn't force a person who was determined to shoot to show the identity of a major shareholder, he could only agree, behind this, it was the determination to divide the priorities in the future.
Yang Yichen understands that the advantage of having a company behind him is resources, and there are some bits and pieces that do not require you to reach out, and he is used to relying on a mature company to achieve his ideal state.
"Da Wang, I'm waiting for you to reach out and tear your face......"
