Chapter 763: Writing the Script

"Myth" can be said to be a breakthrough in Chinese films, although seriously speaking, this film is not a success, but it can definitely be said to be a very good attempt.

The film invested 160 million Hong Kong dollars, and the final box office was only 160 million, which can be said to be basically a loss of money. However, for the first time, the film used international excellent special effects to create a suspended scene of the imperial tomb, which was definitely ranked among the domestic films at that time.

It's just that there are a lot of failures in this film, such as the plot about India is meaningless and can be deleted completely, the far-fetched royal tomb exploration is very suspected of plagiarizing adventure films such as "National Treasure", and the biggest failure is the ending, where the thousand-year-old love finally became a phantom, which made the audience unacceptable at all.

The only thing that was praised by the audience was probably the theme song.

Of course, this imperfect film, if it is retouched, has the possibility of being a good masterpiece.

After Wang Fatzi's careful screening, there was no "Myth" in the script on Wu Tian's desk, so Wu Tian announced that he would write the script himself!

Since he wrote the script directly, Wu Tian naturally wouldn't make those low-level mistakes again, and even cut down many gimmicks in it drastically!

First of all, the gimmick of the so-called hanging coffin gem is cut off directly! That thing really turned the script into a myth, and it didn't conform to physical logic at all!

In Wu Tian's view, this film should be made thick and atmospheric, and to be made into an epic, the main focus should be on the grand scenes, rather than the few minutes of floating underground palaces created out of thin air. And the so-called myths should all focus on the elixir of life!

Now that the gimmick of the hanging coffin gem has been removed, the Indian scene is naturally not needed. But that's it. There is a lack of a female supporting role in the film - a film with only one female protagonist will seem quite thin, and the best way is naturally to add a little side plot or something, and adjust it a little.

Of course, mainland actors must be used for the female supporting role, and even the male supporting role should also use mainland actors - although this film was called a joint venture film back then. However, there are too few mainland actors used, and the male and female protagonists are not mainland actors, and there is no mainland actor in the male and female supporting roles, how can mainland audiences bear it? In addition, it is extremely ideologically in line with the wishes of the high-level, and the lines shout slogans, so it is no wonder that the box office is not high!

Of course, Wu Tian is not disgusted by those conscious lines about the ownership of cultural relics. The key is how to deal with it......

"Such a big feast, if you don't eat it, you won't eat it for nothing." Wu Tian said, "Lao Su, don't be content with this piece of land in front of you, mobilize funds to continue to eat close, it's really not possible to find Zhongtian Bank, I will say hello over there." Offering you a large amount of low-interest loans, as long as you can grab them. Don't let it go, the more the merrier......"

"Although after the issuance of this document, the real estate industry has a hot trend, but our company's analysis believes that the increase will not be too big in the short term. We eat so much land, and we can't develop it, so it's not good to take up too much money, right? Su Hongyu said confusedly.

"Hehe, you don't have to worry about this, these plots are in your hands. Even if you don't develop it, you can make a lot of money by putting it for two years and then selling it. Wu Tian explained with a smile, "Land is a scarce resource, especially the boundary of the capital, if you develop a piece, you will have to grab it less, if you don't grab it now, you won't have to grab it in the future......

Wu Tian sighed, although the fifth ring road of the capital has just been opened, but the urban development has not yet reached the edge of the fifth ring road, the real city center is still within the third ring road, and there are even some vacant land near the third ring road.

With such a good opportunity to make money, how could Wu Tian give it up?

Well, although Wu Tian is worried that the housing price problem will seriously affect the national economy in the future, and he has paid a high price for it in exchange for a hidden clause, it stands to reason that he should try his best to prevent the rise in housing prices, at least he shouldn't follow the trend, right?

But the problem is that if you pretend to be high and don't participate in it, the housing prices in the capital will still skyrocket, and if you don't make this money, others will still make it! And under the advantages of one or the other, soon those real estate companies will all grow into giants, how can you still argue with others when the time comes?

Therefore, at the same time as the document was issued, Wu Tian immediately gave Su Hongyu an order to acquire high-quality land in the capital, Mingzhu and Pengcheng as much as possible, especially in the capital, which is the top priority!

After several months of hard work, Tianrong Real Estate and Guangsha Real Estate have won some high-quality land, but Wu Tian is not satisfied with this - after the introduction of the document in the last century and three years, it has maintained a very high growth rate every year, and the speed is getting more and more blocks, especially the high-quality land with superior locations, it is not impossible to double every year.

Of course, the company's operation always needs excellent capital returns, otherwise if you only invest and do not make a profit, no matter how big the company is, it will not be able to survive, even if the entire Zhongtian is on board, it will not be able to resist the crazy real estate rhythm at all. Therefore, Wu Tian's request to Su Hongyu is to first select high-quality land, develop a part of it, keep a part of it, and then slowly advance to the outskirts of the city - anyway, this year has not yet introduced a policy that the land must be developed in the next two years, and a batch of land can be directly transferred in the future......

*************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************** ********************************************************************

"Oh, you're here early......" Wu Tian greeted Liu Xiaoqing and the others with a smile, and took the printed script for them to read first. told Su Hongyu a few more words before letting him leave.

After more than half a month of busy work, Wu Tian finally finished the script, and called Liu Xiaoqing over today to discuss the preparation of this film.

"This film will definitely be a big production, and it is estimated that at least three or four hundred million will be invested." Wu Tian said.

As soon as these words came out. Suddenly provoked everyone with a black line, three or four hundred million? Isn't that a little too good? You must know that so far, "Hero", the largest investment in China, is only 30 million US dollars, which has stunned all Chinese filmmakers.

However, this movie has also received a global box office of 170 million US dollars, and the mainland box office of 250 million is also a remarkable achievement.

But Wu Tian opened his mouth to invest three or four hundred million, which is simply a crazy rhythm.

You must know that so far, Chinese films are not very popular in the international market, and martial arts films can mix up the box office. But this film is not a martial arts film. It is estimated that it can't compare to the appeal of "Hero".

If it is only in the mainland and Southeast Asia, the total box office can reach the sky with five or six hundred million, which is a complete loss of money - you must know that the box office is not equal to the money that the production company can get, the box office of a movie, but there are many families, first of all, the theater chain has to share half, or even a little more, which means an investment of 400 million. There must be at least a billion box office to recoup the cost!

"What? Too much? Wu Tian blinked and said.

"You want to shoot. Then shoot. Liu Xinyu said lightly.

As the invisible chairman of Tianzheng Film and Television, Liu Xinyu's voice in the company is above Liu Xiaoqing, so only she can answer Wu Tian's request.

Wu Tian glanced at Liu Xinyu, but he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, since that time Liu Xinyu took Fang Zhiyuan to attend his party. The two naturally reduced contact with each other, and they were deliberately avoiding it. Although Wu Tian later knew that she did not get back together with Fang Zhiyuan, after all, with the maintenance of children, the relationship between the two also eased and was in a delicate state.

However, Wu Tian did not break this state. Because he also knew in his heart that Liu Xinyu didn't explain to himself afterwards, and deliberately kept his distance, and she also had her considerations, after all, the relationship between the two was too unworldly, but it was okay like this......

It's just that there are inevitably occasional worries in my heart, for example, at this moment, if it weren't for that special emotion, how could Liu Xinyu be willing to do this kind of loss-making business? You must know that this is not a small investment of millions, but hundreds of millions, if it is really a loss, Rao is Tianzheng Film and Television is also a little unbearable......

*************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************** *************

"This film will not only be invested by Tianzheng Film and Television, at present, I plan to cooperate with at least four companies, Tianzheng, TechnoAlpin, and Tianying, and then find a state-owned studio to cooperate." Wu Tian said, "The three of us have 100 million yuan per family, and the state-owned side can invest as much as possible, mainly to use their resources, and it will be submitted for review and release in the future, which is more convenient......

Wu Tian certainly knows that even if Tianzheng Film and Television is looking for several partners for almost every film, sometimes it is a state-owned studio, sometimes it is a local TV station, sharing investment risks is one aspect, and the most important thing is that in this land, it is convenient to have official participation.

"Well, that's fine......" Liu Xinyu nodded and said.

From the company level, Wu Tian's proposal is the best, but she can't help but feel a little lost in her heart after listening to this plan......

"In terms of filming, the three of us will form a team together, and we must select the best talents in the current industry, in terms of actor selection, the protagonist will use Brother Long, and the heroine will choose an actress from Ridao or Bangzi Country, and it will be easier to grab their box office in the future, and the other roles will mainly be based on the mainland." Wu Tian continued, "In addition, the most important thing is the extras, the ancient part of the film, to shoot with momentum, not to be petty, there must be a scene of thousands of people, you can find a way to coordinate this part, see if you can find help from the troops......"

The big scene naturally requires the participation of a large number of extras, and Meng Yi, as a general, escorts the princess to thousands of miles, so naturally he has to use cavalry, thousands of people, at least a few hundred people to support the scene, where to find so many group performances and horses? The best thing is to find troops.

Fortunately, the Tianlong Film and Television Base cooperates with the troops, and the relationship is there, but the horses are troublesome, where are there so many cavalry now? I have to ask the state-run studio for help, they have more connections in this area, and they can join the army. The team ranch borrowed a lot for use.

Then there is the filming location, which is also the top priority, but Wu Tian has already decided that the location is only in China and Hong Kong Island, and Narauszi India will resolutely not go......
