In the past, due to the identity of the super idol diva, BV had no plan to pave the way for Fang Yajun to make movies, because in Fang Yajun's hottest era, the competition between singers and movie stars was very fierce, and the record market at that time was more popular than the film market, so the status and influence of singers were better than those of movie stars, and singers generally disdained to become amphibious stars.

But with the development of the times, movies have gradually entered everyone's life, and the film market has developed vigorously and explosively, and now it has become the largest industry in the entertainment industry ahead of the record market. The status of movie stars has also reversed, and they are one notch higher than that of singers. So now many singers have begun to get involved in the film industry and become amphibious stars, but few of the top singers have touched the big screen, just like the top movie stars will not get involved in the music industry.

Fang Yajun has been dormant for so long, she has already seen through this circle, she doesn't want to be bound by any rules and regulations anymore, she is not young now, so she wants to do something she wants to do while she is young. Among them, making a movie is a little dream of hers.

Cloud World has been rich recently, and it also wants to increase investment in the film market and seize the film market. Although the filming of "The Old Corpse in the Mountain Village" has not yet been completed, Lin Jianguo has already taken the script of Du Xinghe's "Crazy Boy" to Xiangjiang, ready to find those friends in the film industry of Uniasia to cooperate in the filming of the "Crazy Boy" series.

Du Xinghe didn't want to worry too much about this series of movies, and the construction he proposed to Lin Jianguo was wholly funded by Cloud World, and they paid for the script, and the film department of Uniasia was responsible for shooting, producing and distributing it, and all the costs were borne by Cloud World. Uniasia is like a part-time worker, just help Cloud World make this movie and release it.

Du Xinghe has already asked the professionals on Wang Xiaoyue's side to calculate that it is enough to spend 10 million to make an urban movie like "Crazy Boy", which is worth about 5 million. If you change to a normal role to shoot, you can shoot it more economically.

Du Xinghe calculated it and felt that there was no need to save too much money, Yuan Xiaotian could get a box office of 80 million when he made a "No Bones" classified horror film, which shows that this kid is quite appealing at the box office.

According to the movies released in Southeast Cinemas, the investors can get 40% of the box office revenue. It costs 10 million to make a "Crazy Boy". As long as there is a box office of 25 million, they will not lose money. And the VCD market in this plane is very large, because not a movie can be released in the whole country, except for one theater. People in other theater areas want to see this movie. Basically, you can see it by buying or renting a VCD. And there is no piracy here, which makes the VCD market in this plane no worse than the theater box office.

Under normal circumstances, film companies can get 40% of the revenue from the theatrical box office from VCD sales. Plus 40% of the net box office revenue. A blockbuster film can reap about 80% of the box office.

If you want to calculate it like this, if you spend 10 million to make a movie, as long as the box office can reach 12.5 million, you will definitely not lose money. And that's not even counting those product placement revenues.

It's much easier to make a movie on this plane than to make a record to make money. Du Xinghe gave Lin Jianguo a price of 10 million to shoot a "Crazy Boy", and he was still very confident. Looking at the fire-shaped shì of "Crazy Boy" in the previous plane, it is at least 50 million box office here, as long as it can be filmed well, this series of movies will bring huge capital returns to the cloud world.

As for how to shoot, Du Xinghe only gave Lin Jianguo two opinions, and these two opinions were also conveyed by Lin Jianguo to Huanya's side. First, the most important thing is to shoot according to the storyboard script he drawn, the director should not make another proposition, add some of his ideas into it, and the cloud world pays for it, which is to make a movie on the screenplay, not to ask the director to recreate on this basis, which is not necessary. In Du Xinghe's view, this kind of behavior is a waste of time and energy.

The second is to strive for Yuan Xiaotian to be the leading actor and play the role of Chen Haonan. The reason why Du Xinghe asked Yuan Xiaotian to play is that Yuan Xiaotian and Ekin Cheng's temperament are very similar, and he has the feeling of Chen Haonan the most. Du Xinghe looked at it most pleasing to the eye. If someone else plays Chen Haonan, Du Xinghe will feel very awkward. There is also a strong box office appeal of Yuan Xiaotian in Xiangjiang, including the entire southeast region, a "No Bones Remain", which has pushed this young man to the position of the king of horror films, with a huge number of iron fans, although "Crazy Boy" is not a horror film, but because the plot is too violent, it will definitely be labeled as a classified movie and broadcast in classified theaters. And Yuan Xiaotian is now the king of classified movies. His box office appeal will definitely add a lot of luster to the film.

Lin Jianguo has already made two trips to Xiangjiang to communicate with Uniasia about this matter. Plaza Asia is very interested in reaching this co-production cooperation, but their idea is that the two parties will jointly fund the filming, rather than the cloud world will be the sole proprietorship. The reason why this is the case is that they are very optimistic about the huge worldview and system built by Du Xinghe, and they feel that this series of movies will become classics if they are filmed, and they will definitely have a bumper harvest at the box office. So I don't want to give this money to the cloud world to earn alone.

There is a more important point, this movie is the creation of Du Xinghe, and now the name "Du Xinghe" is the biggest gimmick in the entertainment market, no matter what it does, as long as it is associated with the word "Du Xinghe", the social attention will become extremely high. Now Du Xinghe's influence in the entire entertainment industry is no worse than any top star, and even in some aspects, he is more influential and convincing than those top stars.

This "Crazy Boy" series, with the original gimmick of Du Xinghe, is not only not low at the box office, but also likely to explode, so Uniasia Entertainment attaches great importance to this cooperation with Cloud World, hoping to achieve this cooperation in a profitable way for both parties.

Du Xinghe had to do his best to help Liao Nan prepare for the finals of "The Sound of China" during this time, and he didn't have the energy to be distracted from negotiating with Uniasia, so he handed over all the right to negotiate to Lin Jianguo. Let Lin Jianguo talk. He only mentioned two points, which are also the bottom line, that is, one, the cloud world must share more than 50% of all the revenue of this series of movies at the very least; Second, starring Yuan Xiaotian. As long as Uniasia can be satisfied in these two days, then we can cooperate.

Lin Jianguo grasped these two points, and has been negotiating with Uniasia, but did not reach a cooperation agreement immediately, he wants to force Uniasia to give them a satisfactory cooperation price in the cloud world, and then he will really sign a cooperation. The most optimistic thought in his heart at the moment is: The cloud world doesn't give a penny. Only one set of Du Xinghe's scripts will be published, and the name of Du Xinghe will be hung, and the shooting and distribution costs of all movies will be paid by Uniasia, and the price cannot be lower than 10 million for a film. In this way, in the end, the two sides will split the account again. It's also an empty glove white wolf.

Considering Du Xinghe's current fame all over China. Lin Jianguo felt that relying on Du Xinghe's name, it was no problem to get 50% of the income, or the cloud world would pay for it. In the end, all the money earned will be taken by the cloud world. It's okay to cooperate in this way, anyway, the cloud world is not bad for money now. If Huanya wants to share the box office soup, then they have to give all the money, otherwise they won't share it.

Lin Jianguo bit this condition very hard and asked Huanya to think about it. If Uniasia is willing, then the two sides can cooperate, if not, then he will bargain with Uniasia. According to his estimate, Uniasia should not bargain anymore, and should agree to this condition, after all, now that Cloud World and Du Xinghe are very popular, the opportunity to cooperate with Cloud World is very precious, and he believes that Uniasia will not miss this opportunity. This kind of opportunity should be placed in front of other companies, as long as a little bold and prescient company, it will definitely not be missed, not only will not miss it, but it is likely to take the initiative to relax the conditions and cooperate with the cloud world.

In terms of the attitude of this cooperation, Lin Jianguo is not in a hurry at all, which is completely different from his previous character of being anxious to reach an agreement immediately, the reason why this is so is not only because the cloud world is rich now, but also for a more important reason, that is, Cheng Jiaren pointed out his negotiation process this time, and it was Cheng Jiaren who told Lin Jianguo not to be in a hurry to negotiate.

Now that the dominant side is on their side, Lin Jianguo has no need to rush to cooperate with Uniasia. The main reason why they are looking for Uniasia to cooperate now is to take a fancy to Yuan Xiaotian, an artist under Uniasia. If it weren't for Yuan Xiaotian, they wouldn't necessarily have to cooperate with Uniasia. In fact, even if there are actually many film companies that can shoot and distribute the "Crazy Boy" series, cooperate with other big film companies, and can also poach Yuan Xiaotian to star, this matter doesn't even need to be done in the cloud world, just let other film companies operate.

In short, Cheng Jiaren's advice to Lin Jianguo is to force Huanya to come up with the most suitable cooperation plan, and then bargain with Huanya to spare greater benefits, and finally listen to the signature. Lin Jianguo is now in line with this attitude and waiting for the cooperation plan of Uniasia.

Fang Yajun has long read Du Xinghe's "Crazy Boy" storyboard script, and watching Du Xinghe's storyboard script is like watching a static movie, which is quite feeling. When Fang Yajun heard that Cloud World was going to shoot the "Crazy Boy" series, she couldn't hold back her addiction to acting, and strongly asked Du Xinghe to give her a role in this series of movies, not a cameo, she wanted important roles, such as the heroine of the little stammer. The role she wants to play the most is Ding Yao in the second part of "Crazy Boy", she feels that this black-bellied woman has a lot of drama, and it will be very enjoyable to play, and she really wants to try such a role.

Du Xinghe was very speechless for Fang Yajun's whimsical request, he didn't dare or wanted to give Fang Yajun an Ding Yao such a role, otherwise he might ruin Fang Yajun's image as a goddess in the hearts of thousands of fans. "Crazy Boy" is a very angry movie, and there is basically no goddess-level role suitable for Fang Yajun in it, even if the one played by Li Jiaxin in the fourth part has a night with Chen Haonan. The beautiful teachers in love do not match Fang Yajun's goddess identity.

Seeing that Fang Yajun was full of willfulness and had to play a role, Du Xinghe had no choice but to take a delaying tactic, telling Fang Yajun to prepare the album first and promote the album, and when he was free next year, he would tailor a movie for Fang Yajun to make Fang Yajun enjoyable.

Fang Yajun was very excited when she heard that Du Xinghe was going to tailor a movie for her, so she didn't strongly ask to show her face in "Crazy Boy".

However, Fang Yajun also has a requirement for Du Xinghe's so-called "tailor-made", that is, Du Xinghe can't write a song queen for her, otherwise it will be too boring to let her play herself in reality. She doesn't even want to act in an industry related to the entertainment industry, this circle is too boring in her eyes. It's not interesting to play at all, she needs a challenging and subversive role to play. The so-called goddess, she has played enough in reality, she wants Du Xinghe to write a different role for her, and she wants to act in a different movie.

It's best to be a little cross-colored, like "Looking for Qin" with subversive ideas, the more interesting the better.

After Du Xinghe listened to Fang Yajun's request that day, the shadow of "Journey to the West" flashed in his mind. No matter what kind of movie Fang Yajun creates, there is no doubt that the image of Fang Yajun's goddess must be maintained. Cloud World and Hongyan signed Fang Yajun for two years. With an investment of more than 100 million, Fang Yajun's signature image must not be smashed, so the loss to the two companies will be too great.

And Fang Yajun doesn't want to play the role of a goddess in the general sense, so the Zixia Fairy in "Journey to the West" is perfect for her. This subversive comedy. It must be in line with Fang Yajun's appetite. In the future, this movie must be able to ferment among fans. Being pushed into the ranks of classics, the image of Fang Yajun's peerless goddess will be consolidated, and Fang Yajun's singing career will also be promoted.

So Du Xinghe decided to tailor the "Journey to the West" series for Fang Yajun. Let Fang Yajun taste the addiction of drama.

In the past two days, he took the time to draw the two sub-scenes of "Journey to the West" for Fang Yajun, and asked Fang Yajun to come to the company to read the script.

Now that he has a definite script and story, I believe that Fang Yajun will not have that kind of thought.

Fang Yajun accepted a radio interview this afternoon to promote the new album, and then rushed to the cloud world, and watched the fine "Journey to the West" script drawn by Du Xinghe in Du Xinghe's office, and was directly shocked!

She didn't expect that the story of "Journey to the West" could still be filmed like this! In the years of dormancy, she had the idea of becoming a director, and went to study to be a director, so she has some superficial understanding of the language of film.

For this magical story drawn by Du Xinghe, Fang Yajun couldn't sort out its thoughts and context, this kind of deconstruction technique was too novel and interesting for her, looking at the interesting dialogues on the story version, Fang Yajun was amused and laughed back and forth. She never thought there would be such a comedy in this world.

After reading it once, she fell in love with the story. She likes the Zixia Fairy who is persistent for love in the story, and she immediately decided to play this role!

This character is ten thousand times better than those she imagined! It's going to be a lot of fun! Every detail is fun for her, and the more you taste it, the more you taste it, even if it's a tragedy, but she finds it funny.

It's just that at the end of these two "Journey to the West", Du Xinghe wrote that the sunset warrior and the girl who looked like the Zixia Fairy looked at the back of the Supreme Treasure who had transformed into the Monkey King on the city, and actually said, "He (Supreme Treasure) is like a dog", which made Fang Yajun feel a little unbelievable and unclear.

"Why did you write this dialogue in the end? What does that mean? I see that this Monkey King you painted is not a monkey? Why do you write that he looks like a dog? Fang Yajun asked Du Xinghe curiously.

Du Xinghe smiled, and did not directly say why the ending was written like a dog, but slowly told his own understanding of this movie.

For this "Journey to the West", when I watched it in the early years, Du Xinghe was still in junior high and high school, and I just laughed when I watched this film, and I thought this postmodern deconstruction method was very interesting, but I didn't think about it deeply. It wasn't until he was really an adult and was trained by society that he watched this film again that he gradually realized the deep meanings hidden in this film.

First of all, this film is about a life that is constantly misplaced. In the original movie, the Monkey King, who was demoted to a mortal, was named "Supreme Treasure", a mountain king with little mana, who fell in love with the white bone spirit Bai Jingjing, and later, in order to save the lady Bai Jingjing who committed suicide due to a misunderstanding, he used the moonlight treasure box to travel through time and space, wanting to go back to half an hour ago. However, due to a mistake, he went back 500 years. met Zixia Fairy, so he unexpectedly discovered that he was actually Monkey King 500 years ago. Zixia snatched his moonlight treasure box.

In order to get back the moonlight treasure box and go back to 500 years later to save Bai Jingjing, he had to follow Zixia's left and right, and was later loved by Zixia, but he didn't love Zixia, only the lady 500 years later. The Zixia Fairy entered his heart with a shrinking method, leaving a tear in his heart, and left. But he fell in love with the Zixia Fairy from then on.

Later, Supreme Treasure met Bai Jingjing, who had just come to learn art, he wanted to follow the previous trajectory, so he told Bai Jingjing that they would be husband and wife in 500 years, and they could get married now, Bai Jingjing was very surprised, and also used the shrinking method to enter his heart, asking if his conscience was true, but found that he loved Zixia, and Bai Jingjing did not marry him.

Later, in order to save Zixia, who was coerced by the Bull Demon King to be a concubine. He volunteered to put on the underwire. promised Guanyin to abandon his lust, and Bao Tang Seng went to the West Heaven to learn scriptures, so he was able to restore his mana and become Sun Wukong. However, he couldn't save Zixia at this time. Because. Whenever he reaches out his hand. will be tortured by the tight spell because of the affection in his heart, and he can only watch Zixia drift away.

The whole story is full of misalignments—when he is the Supreme Treasure. He didn't have the magic to save his wife; When Zixia loved him, he loved his wife Bai Jingjing 500 years later; When he began to love Zixia, Zixia had already left him and was trapped by the Bull Demon King; Only when he regained his mana and ability to save Zixia, there was no misalignment, he loved her, and she loved him, but they lost the right to love each other.

This is life, it is the cruelty of life.

Don't think that this is a movie, a movie, is real life, and we often live in such a dislocation.

We love someone, but he doesn't love you; Someone loves you, but you don't love him; When you love him at the same time, you can't help but hurt each other, or he already has a home...... In this way, the emotions of the world flow misaligned between love, family affection, and friendship. For example, sometimes we find out that our child has grown up, his virginity has been lost to you forever, and you can never have it again. Or the spouse has lost his affection, or even the relatives have gone to the empty building.

We can't help but fantasize that we hope that time can be re-re-enacted, and a qiē can be re-revised, but it is impossible to re-do time, that is, it can be re-re-enacted, facing the same people and the same place, it will still be like a supreme treasure, just because of a tear of Zixia, and change all the endings, and cannot go back to the past.

Using the viewpoint of the six realms of reincarnation to explain the dislocation, that is, when a pig reaches the end of his life, he repents: he has wasted a lot of time in this life, and he must try to be a good pig in the next life. Unexpectedly, in the next life, it turned into a snake. It's never going to be a good pig anymore.

Sometimes we reminisce about the past, in fact, we are nostalgic for the beauty of that time, but the past cannot be revisited, and many people who have dreams of reliving the end result are lost.

……

Listening to Du Xinghe's misplaced design hidden in this movie, Fang Yajun was deeply moved, she didn't expect Du Xinghe to contain so many philosophical ideas and worldviews in this movie. The story, which seemed absurd to her, suddenly became much more three-dimensional. She admired Du Xinghe's talent more and more.

However, she still couldn't understand why Du Xinghe wrote the last Supreme Treasure like a dog.

"To explain this, you first have to figure out whether the movie is a comedy or a tragedy." Du Xinghe asked Fang Yajun rhetorically.

"It's supposed to be a combination of comedy and tragedy, right?" Fang Yajun analyzed: "It's quite interesting to watch, the appearance is a comedy, but the core story is a tragedy of love." ”

"Hmm." Du Xinghe nodded at Fang Yajun and went deeper to explain Fang Yajun's doubts.

The reason why this "Journey to the West" has become a classic is that it is not simply a comedy, but a perfect combination of comedy and tragedy.

When you are watching Journey to the West, if you laugh so much that your stomach cramps and you grin, then you have a great sense of humor. If you're still rolling around laughing after watching Journey to the West, then you don't actually understand anything.

If you suddenly find that there are tears on your face after reading the big talk, you finally understand the first layer of the big talk. If you have laughed and laughed and shed tears after reading the big talk, and suddenly you are stunned, and suddenly you don't know whether to cry or laugh, then you understand the second layer. If you sit there silently after reading the big words, you feel nowhere to go, you feel a kind of sadness and helplessness that goes deep into the bone marrow, you understand the third layer.

"Journey to the West" is actually a fable, hiding in the back of ancient myths, which seems to be very funny, very lovely, very mundane, and very sentimental to tell a question and its uncertain answer because of the remoteness of time and the hesitation of the individual.

"That guy looks weird." "I saw it too, he looked like a dog." Fang Yajun has been confused by this last conversation. In fact, it is the theme of the whole movie. In men's thinking, it is: a man's helplessness.

Do you like Supreme Treasure, or do you like Monkey King? The answer is self-explanatory. Supreme Treasure is uninhibited, uninhibited, but dares to love and hate, innocent and lovely. So who do you admire? Who are the heroes? In fact, the transformation from Supreme Treasure to Monkey King reflects the mental journey from a boy to a man.

"When you understand the truth of sacrificing your life for righteousness, you will naturally come back and sing this song with me." These are the words of Tang Seng in the play.

Who is Tang Seng? Are we reminded of our parents, our teachers, our predecessors? What man has not experienced their earnest teachings, and who has not developed a strong rebellious mentality. There was no resistance. But. When everyone matures and becomes a man, they will sincerely thank them for their teachings or regret not listening to them.

"I knew that one day he would show up in a high-profile situation. Dressed in golden armor. Step on the seven-colored clouds to marry me. "Fairy Zixia is the kind of woman who makes every boy fall in love. She doesn't have high requirements for the person she likes, that's all, but just ask. Can you do it? Did Supreme Treasure do it? He did it, but at the cost of ...... Alas. In fact, Zixia Fairy is the image of women in our minds, and her requirements represent women's requirements for men.

Who is the Bull Demon King? He represents an invisible force in this world, he has taken away Zixia, taken away Jingjing, and also took away the happiness of the Supreme Treasure. This power has caused the Supreme Treasure and the boys he represents to lose the Garden of Eden of their former days, and it must be overcome if they want to regain their former happiness.

With the appearance of the Bull Demon King, the Supreme Treasure can no longer enjoy the worry-free time of the past. He wants to find his beloved Jingjing, and he also wants to recapture the Zixia he loves even more. He had once pinned his hopes on the Moonlight Treasure Box to turn from, yes, the Moonlight Treasure Box. It has a magical power that allows the Supreme Treasure to avoid direct confrontation with the Bull Demon King and obtain what he wants.

In fact, every boy has had such fantasies in the process of growing up, but in the face of the ruthless reality, the illusions have been shattered again and again. Until the last moment, the Supreme Treasure finally woke up, relying on the moonlight treasure box is not good, the Supreme Treasure does not have that ability, only to become the Monkey King, only by wearing that King Kong ring, he has the ability to compete with the Bull Demon King.

This is a great irony. Do you want to get it? Okay then, you give up first. You have to make a choice, to be the Supreme Treasure, then happiness is always short-lived, and to be the Monkey King, you have to endure endless pain. The rules of this world seem to have been formulated by the Bull Demon King, so vicious, in front of it, how pale and powerless that classic line is, it can only be the deepest pain left in the heart when a boy transforms into a man.

Tang Seng's way of speaking has never changed, but he has completely different feelings before and after the Supreme Treasure awakens. So is the Supreme Treasure a conscious and voluntary awakening? No, he didn't want to, but he had to save Zixia, he had to dissolve the hatred in the world, he had no choice. Although he became the Monkey King and a big hero, he was extremely dissatisfied with his state of existence. At the end of the film, Sun Wukong transforms the shadow of the remaining Supreme Treasure in his heart into a sunset samurai, and after being completely disappointed in the real world, he can only construct an illusory imagination to come to this wish, and expresses his dissatisfaction with his living state through the mouth of the samurai, living as if he is a dog. Alas, this is the pathos and helplessness of a man.

"Why mourn in life, why suffer in death - you must have heard this sentence." Du Xinghe said to Fang Yajun: "You should now understand what I mean by writing 'he is like a dog' at the end." ”

Fang Yajun was completely stunned by Du Xinghe's words, looking at Du Xinghe's restrained and mysterious eyes, it was like reading an ancient book full of scars, there were too many stories behind this young man, otherwise how could he create such a script? This can no longer be defined simply by genius, Fang Yajun feels that the current Du Xinghe is an "alien visitor"! He is by no means an ordinary earthling!

Since he has told it, Du Xinghe will tell Fang Yajun a little more about the story of "Journey to the West". The most touching thing about this movie is the love in it.

But in fact, love is love, not anything else. The only thing that can be with love is life, and everything else will go aside. Isn't it enough that you love?

Wukong is in love, whether it is Jingjing or Zixia, he will carry out the love to the end. Zixia fell in love, "Whoever pulls out my Ziqing sword will be my wishful husband." ”

Do you need a reason to love someone? Sun Wukong will love the white bone spirit, and Zhu Bajie will fall in love with the spider spirit. Zixia loved him deeply because he drew a sword.

The reasons for the people in the story to find their lovers are always strange: the prince has to use the crystal slipper to find Cinderella, and Xue Baochai wants the person with jade to match ...... But life is always much more realistic, and all living beings, who can promise anyone a future, just deceive themselves.

It doesn't matter if there is a reason or no reason, but you still have to love.

The process is the result, there is no need to hide it, there is no need to pretend to be pretentious, there is no need to suffer from gains and losses, as long as it is like Zixia and says: "Let's start this relationship immediately!" Kiss me first. "Love is involuntarily. The Supreme Treasure Dream also called Zixia's name seven hundred and forty-one times, and those who didn't know felt that Zixia must have owed him a lot of money.

Zixia said: "It's like a moth, knowing that it will be injured and will throw itself into the fire." "I can't resist and run for you." Hopelessly obsessed.

Love is desperate. The Supreme Treasure said to Jingjing, "Kill me, I don't want you to look at me with someone else in mind." Jingjing thought: "It's all a lie to me." "Jump off the cliff. Zixia blocked her body in front of the Supreme Treasure and stabbed into the iron fork of the Bull Demon King. For a while, everyone doesn't care what their future life will be. Even such a precious life is intended to be a sacrifice for love at any time. plunged headlong into this sea of love and bitterness one by one, preferring eternal life to eternal life rather than superbirth. Love is unfathomable. (To be continued......)
