Chapter 1225: Vitality
Liang Ren's sudden words made Sun Peng stunned for a moment.
Pure Chinese cinema?
Hasn't this boss always attached the most importance to the overseas market, especially the European and American markets, and even did not hesitate to lose the local box office in China for this? Why do you suddenly want to return to China again?
But he was stunned for a moment, and Sun Peng immediately reacted.
What do you mean?
This Liang boss will not think that he has never written a third script for him before and refuses to cooperate, because he always cooperates with Hollywood studios and makes "The Sixth Sense" and "Truman's World" into American movies, so he thinks that if he decides to make a pure Chinese movie, he can agree......
Well, there's nothing wrong with thinking about it that way.
After all, the reason why Sun Peng has always rejected Liang Ren is indeed one of the very important reasons.
However, it is only one of the reasons, and another more important reason is the constraints of Liang Ren's own age, acting skills and style.
Just like Brother Long on the earth, even if he is over sixty years old later, he has never been able to jump out of the trap of action movies, and he has to bounce on the big screen at such an age, fighting and killing, and it is actually the same for Liang Ren.
His road to costume blockbusters is too smooth and too far.
And if you compare carefully, Liang Ren and Brother Long are still very different.
The scope of action movies is too wide, it can be a costume or a modern one; It can be spy warfare or science fiction; It can be a police story, or an ordinary father's violent rebellion, there are too many routines that can be used, and the investment can be high or low, leaving a lot of room for Brother Long.
But Huaxia's costume movies are different, because the biggest secret of their success is the crazy production cost - big times, big scenes, and special effects production that represents the highest level of Huaxia!
It can be said that the sum of these conditions is the foundation of Liang Ren's success.
But now the costume blockbusters are no longer popular in the overseas market, even in China, and the box office of the two films starring Liang Ren is only more than a billion, and even the cost cannot be recovered. So Liang Ren had no choice but to seek a radical transformation.
However......
Because of his fame and the audience's impression of him has been fixed, if Liang Ren's transformation wants to succeed, the requirements for the script will be terrifying!
The only two times were all Sun Peng's scripts.
And "Truman's World" is slightly better, Liang Ren has a relatively large space to play, but he is not even the real protagonist in "The Sixth Sense". The little boy with superb acting skills is the focus of the audience's eyes, and Liang Ren's existence is just a big green leaf!
So in this case, Liang Ren's value in the eyes of investors began to decrease sharply - although the coffee position is still there, the good days when the film investment could not reach 1.8 billion yuan at every turn, and he could get 15 or 20 points of box office sharing is gone......
Anyway, in this "Truman's World", Liang Ren's share ratio is not necessarily as high as Sun Penggao.
For the big brother in the film industry who is nearly fifty years old, Sun Peng really doesn't have much interest in cooperation - this guy's development potential has basically been exhausted, even if Sun Peng uses a few classic scripts to pick him up again, Liang Ren, who is in his fifties, can still shine for Chinese movies for a few years? If writing scripts for celebrities is also an investment, then investing in Liang Ren is obviously not cost-effective......
"Huh? It doesn't seem to be absolute! ”
Suddenly, Sun Peng thought of a possibility: "Of course it's not cost-effective to give those top scripts to Liang Ren, but ...... What if it's a script with good quality and not too much investment? Especially those movies where the male protagonists are all fifty or sixty years old, isn't it very suitable for Lao Liang? ”
For example, the old stars on the earth have actually acted in some good movies, and if you pick carefully, you may be able to have something suitable for Liang Ren. In this way, these resources in Sun Peng's head can be wasted, and Liang Ren's fame and overseas influence will not slowly dissipate!
So after the only groan, Sun Peng grinned and said, "That's it, Brother Liang, how about talking about the script later?" After all, it's the premiere of "Han Bo and Lingshi", let's watch the movie first, let's watch the movie......"
……
"Wow......"
"It's beautiful!"
When the excited little Han Bo crossed the barrier and came to the platform of another world, an exclamation suddenly sounded in the screening hall - but Sun Peng could hear it, these exclamations were probably not because of the luxurious scenes and beautiful special effects on the big screen, but because of a strong psychological contrast!
The wizard train station in "Han Bo and the Spirit Stone" is in strong contrast with the wizard train station in "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone"!
If the station in the wizarding world in "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" is retro style, and even the train is a steam locomotive, then "Han Bo and the Spirit Stone" is modern, and even has some sci-fi color!
Stopping in front of Xiao Hanbo is also a bullet train full of action.
The streamlined body, silver shape and blue stripes are more beautiful, fashionable and dynamic than the high-speed trains in China!
"That's how it is designed...... What are you trying to express? ”
Seeing this scene on the big screen, Liang Ren couldn't help but widen his eyes, and asked in surprise: "In order to distinguish it from the Little Magician series, is it deliberately set up like this?" But...... Isn't the ancient and mysterious existence of wizards more natural in the old style of Hollywood? ”
"Why? Why do you think that? ”
Raising his eyebrows, Sun Peng chuckled and said, "Just because they are ancient wizards, they must use ancient steam locomotives?" What is the truth of this? ”
"This ......"
Without waiting for Liang Ren, who was stunned for a moment, to speak, Chen Feifei next to him suddenly interjected and smiled: "Hehe, I think this is very good, it looks beautiful!" Moreover, the British developed early, and now the domestic railways are still old-fashioned, but our Chinese development is late, and the geographical area is also large, isn't it normal to use high-speed rail? Otherwise, if you really need to use a steam locomotive for thousands of miles...... Tsk, I'm afraid the little wizards are tired to death! ”
"That's right, that's the truth!"
As soon as Chen Feifei's words fell, Sun Peng nodded in agreement.
In fact, at the beginning, he really wanted to design the same old style as the little magician, at most using the old steam locomotive of Huaxia. But then I thought about it, if this old broken car was soaked in the UK, it would be fine, after all, the country is small, only more than 200,000 square kilometers, and it won't take long to run from south to north, but you dare to try it in a big country like China?
And......
Just as Sun Peng smiled and was about to continue, Luo Cheng on the other side listened for a long time, and finally spoke for the first time: "Of course, different series need different feelings, but if I want to see it, this can also show the difference between the two countries - although the history of our China is more ancient, but in terms of the performance of the past few decades, there is no doubt that we are much more energetic than them......"
