After the press conference, Wang Qinian consulted Wen Riliang for his opinion and adapted the script of "Sea Tiger" on a large scale. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Because, the rhythm of the comic version is different from that of film and television, and it needs to be reinvented to be suitable for the film market.

"Wang Sheng, I don't know much about movies, you can adapt it however you want, you don't have to consider my opinion." Wen Riliang said with a smile.

"Thank you Mr. Wen for your understanding, and I hope to cooperate more in the future!" Wang Qinian courted him.

Wen Riliang couldn't help but be a little flattered, and secretly said in his heart that he would have a good relationship with this noble man in the future. It's not good, in the future, he can be as beautiful as Huang Yulang and Ma Rongcheng.

Huang Yulang and Ma Rongcheng have been able to reach the point where they are now, in addition to the fact that the sales of comics are far ahead. More importantly, his works have been adapted from film and television, animation, and games, expanding his influence.

And the vast majority of other Hong Kong comics,One can only develop in the small circle of Hong Kong comics。 As the Hong Kong market is withering, its influence is shrinking.

Of course, the reason why Wang Qinian values Wen Riliang is that he is indeed worthy of being optimistic. Just the high-tech setting of current propulsion and electromagnetic rotation made by the "Sea Tiger" system has a far-reaching impact on the Hong Kong comic industry. Many bigwigs in the comic industry have to learn from his settings.

In addition, for the adaptation of the plot of the movie, it is also appropriate to respect the opinions of the original author. After all, no matter how it is adapted, its creativity still comes from the original "Sea Tiger".

……

"Sea Tiger" is a 100 million yuan production, but it is not mixed with a trace of water. After the crew was set up in early July, all major investors filmed representatives as producers, and the funds were also put into a special fund account.

Thus, the film was established since its inception. Before the script was ready, it had already attracted a lot of heated discussions from the media and the audience.

For ordinary audiences, it is directed by Wang Qinian. Moreover, it is still known as comparable to Hollywood's "X-Men" and "Spider-Man", which has already attracted everyone's attention.

But for the media. "Sea Tiger", a blockbuster film with 100 million yuan, is undoubtedly full of topics. Just the conjectures about the movie are enough to attract countless eyeballs.

When Wang Qinian announced that he would direct "Sea Tiger", countless well-known actors in the industry began to commotion. Everyone knows that playing a role in "Sea Tiger" means a lot of exposure and value. Of course, according to Wang Qinian's consistent personality, he prefers to use his royal actors. The reporter of this newspaper interviewed Li Jie, the first brother of the small partner company. Brother Xie said that he has not been invited to participate in the role for the time being, but he is very interested in this movie. In addition, Huang Xiaoming, Chen Kun and other first-line stars of small partner companies all said that they have not been invited by the crew of "Sea Tiger". ”

Fan Bingbing, a well-known actor, said that if the crew of "Sea Tiger" is willing to invite, he is willing to lower his price. The salary is open at will. It is reported that Fan Bingbing has signed a contract with Huayi Brothers. Huayi also participated in the investment of "Sea Tiger". ”

Jackie Chan said that he paid more attention to "Sea Tiger". If the crew of "Sea Tiger" is invited, they may rely on the disabled to participate. ”

A large number of news topics are pouring in like a tide, which actually shows the topicality of the movie "Sea Tiger". Of course. The vast majority of news is chased by the media.

In fact, when the media was talking about it, Wang Qinian went to Hong Kong to meet the most suitable actor Ekin Cheng in his mind.

I have to say. Ekin Cheng plays a movie adapted from a Hong Kong comic, and he does have a unique talent. From "Crazy Boy", "Fengyun" to "Chinese Heroes", the spirit of the characters in the comics has been performed.

If it were another actor, it might not be that flavor.

In the entire Chinese film industry, Wang Qinian thought about it, and it was difficult to come up with a more suitable person to play Bai Junlang, the protagonist in "Sea Tiger", than Ekin Cheng!

With a little sketch in his mind, Wang Qinian felt that Ekin Cheng was born to play the role in Hong Kong comics! If he specializes in playing the protagonist of Hong Kong comics, he may be more promising if he becomes a professional user of Hong Kong comics.

For example, Andy Lau and Ekin Cheng, who have similar acting paths, feel very inappropriate to change Andy Lau to play those strong Hong Kong comics, and they can't play that kind of forced feeling.

But almost the vast majority of Hong Kong comic protagonists seem to be tailor-made for Ekin Cheng.

Of course, Ekin Cheng is now at the peak of his career, and the salary is definitely not low. However, due to the fact that Ekin Cheng is mainly limited to the Chinese film market, the so-called salary is also watery.

In fact, the vast majority of Hong Kong films are very watery from budget to star salary. For example, "Infernal Affairs" claims that the budget is 40 million yuan, and according to this investment, the film will have to be hundreds of millions of yuan to recover its capital. But in fact, "Infernal Affairs" has achieved 55 million Hong Kong dollars in Hong Kong and only 9 million US dollars at the global box office, which has already shaken the industry, and its investors have made a lot of money. If it is really a film with a cost of 40 million, it should be a big loss.

But in fact, the investors of "Infernal Affairs" later made a lot of profits, and even praised "Infernal Affairs" as a Hong Kong film bailout.

It can be analyzed from this that either the movie budget is fake, and the real budget is far less than 40 million, in order to make a profit. If you want to, it is to slap a swollen face and become fat, obviously losing money, but announcing a big profit.

Judging from various indications, "Infernal Affairs" should not be losing money, so the budget is watery, and there is not as much budget as 40 million Hong Kong dollars.

The movie budget has moisture, in fact, it is reflected in the salary of the star. The remuneration given to the star by the producer is not the same thing as the remuneration claimed to the media. overreported a lot of remuneration, so the budget of the movie seemed very high, far higher than the real budget.

Ekin Cheng's current worth is so boasted in the outside world that some people even don't have a long brain, claiming that he has a salary of 20 million for one of his movies. Isn't that pure?

Even if Hong Kong movies are currently popular, normal films, including the box office in Hong Kong, Taiwan, mainland China and other parts of Asia, can have a box office of 100 million, which is considered rare.

If the box office is calculated at 100 million, after the distribution channels and taxes, it is already rare for the investor to finally get 30 million yuan. Therefore, generally Hong Kong films will not exceed the budget of 30 million, if a superstar's salary accounts for more than 60% of the movie, plus other staff, at least eighty percent of the budget will be divided, what quality can the movie make?

And Ekin Cheng's movies basically have a total box office of no more than 50 million Hong Kong dollars, and the film investment company can get about 20 million at most. If Ekin Cheng had a salary of 20 million Hong Kong dollars, wouldn't the film investment company give all the box office accounts to Ekin Cheng alone, and the film and television investors not only did not make money, but even lost their money.

Therefore, the so-called salary of 20 million yuan is too much. In fact, Ekin Cheng's salary is far from being as high as the legend. (To be continued.) )
