Chapter 477: Huo Yuanjia
The discussion about the Chinese Charity Night continues.
But as long as no one has a hard time with Tang Mu, he won't say anything about this charity night now.
Anyway, he and Wen Ya's performance at the charity night was quite good, and their popularity and everything increased, which was already very good for them.
Therefore, Tang Mu is ready to focus on movies.
Tang Mu doesn't know much about the director's ability, and he doesn't know a lot about filming, if he wants to make movies, he can learn slowly.
However, the time given to him by the system is two years, and if he learns, it is inevitably too slow.
Therefore, Tang Mu directly opened the system mall and purchased the ability to shoot movies, so that some problems with filming could be easily solved.
Once you've purchased this ability to shoot movies, the next step is to think about what kind of movies to make.
In today's Chinese film market, there are several types of movies that are very popular, comedies, action movies and science fiction films.
These three types of movies are the mainstream of the market, and the box office is generally occupied by these types of films, among which comedy is dominated by Chinese films.
Action movies, foreign and Chinese kung fu movies are not bad, and science fiction films are mainly dominated by foreign films.
Comedies are the most popular, and there are often some low-budget comedies that become box office dark horses.
However, in this regard, Tang Mu's talent is not very high, and a lot of humor can't be expressed, so after thinking about it, he thinks it's better to make kung fu movies.
First, kung fu movies are also considered mainstream, and the box office should be good, and secondly, he hopes that through these kung fu films, fans around the world can know about Chinese kung fu.
After selecting a kung fu movie, Tang Mu began to choose the script.
There are not many scripts about kung fu movies in the mall, but some are very good scripts, and the price is between one thousand and two thousand, Tang Mu thought about it and bought a script called "Huo Yuanjia".
There is not much to tell in the story, that is, it tells about Huo Yuanjia from being young and vigorous to finally understanding the true meaning of kung fu, and then carrying forward kung fu.
After the script is purchased, it cannot be filmed immediately.
He needs to apply for funds from the company, although he is the boss, but it does not mean that he can use the money casually when he makes movies, if he is willing to use his own money, it naturally does not matter, but if he uses the company, he needs to get the support of the company's senior management.
After all, Datang Entertainment is a regular company, and the use of any funds must follow the charter.
After coming to the company, Tang Mu said that he was going to make a kung fu movie.
"I'm going to make a kung fu movie, and I hope it can be released worldwide, I don't know what everyone means?"
When these words were spoken, the people in the company were stunned.
Tang Mu's achievements in music are very good, and they can be even better, why has he only been playing music for a few years, and suddenly wants to enter the film and television industry, if he is an actor to play tickets, it is nothing, anyway, the company does not pay the cost, just let Tang Yu play a few roles.
But what they didn't expect was that Tang Mu actually wanted to be a director himself, if this was the case, then the situation would be difficult to say.
In the whole of China, hundreds of movies are released every year, how many can make money?
Many movies lose money, and there are only a few who make money, Tang Mu is a director and makes movies, if he loses, it will be miserable.
"Mr. Tang, you still have a lot of room for development in music now, I don't think you should focus on movies."
"Yes, if you want to make a movie, we just need to sign a director."
Beyond the words, they seem to be a little disbelieving in Tang Mu's directing ability.
However, Qin Susu supported Tang Mu.
"Cousin, you want to make a movie, I support it, isn't it just playing, what's this?"
In Qin Susu's view, it's just a movie, even if it really loses, what is it?
For people like them, doing anything is playing, and they are not short of money.
Qin Susu spoke, and the senior executives of the other companies didn't say anything, although they didn't support it, but they also knew the situation of Tang Mu and Qin Susu, since they weren't worried about losing money, let them play well.
Seeing this, Tang Mu was overjoyed and said, "Then how much budget can the company give me?" ”
"The company is currently developing rapidly, and there are probably not many that can be used to invest in films, so how about giving you 20 million."
A movie budget of 20 million is really not much, but this is already the limit of the company, and a movie of 20 million is actually not a small-budget movie.
Other movies have been shot for millions, and although kung fu movies are not easy to make, 20 million is almost okay.
Tang Mu saw that the company only gave 20 million, and he felt that it was a little little, but he was not in a hurry, he would shoot it first, if the budget was really not enough by then, then he would find a way, and it would be a big deal for him to take out the money himself.
After saying this, Tang Mu finally began to study the script and then look for actors.
He was already familiar with the script, so it didn't take too much energy to study, and the most time-consuming thing was the search for actors.
There are many artists from Datang Entertainment and Yushi Entertainment, but among these artists, there are no suitable actors to play the leading role.
The actor Huo Yuanjia first needs to be a person who knows kung fu, even if he knows some kung fu routines, after all, there are many fight scenes in the movie, and he doesn't know kung fu, so it doesn't look good.
Secondly, in addition to knowing kung fu, the actor's acting skills must also be online, in the early stage, Huo Yuanjia was eager for quick success, competitive, and was an irritable man.
But in the later stage, after Huo Yuanjia realized the true meaning of kung fu to a person and a nation, he had to look more calm, which required the actor to have good acting skills to show these two completely different situations.
Whether it is Datang Entertainment or Yushi Entertainment, the first condition is that no artist can be competent, and these two entertainment companies do not have kung fu actors.
Yushi Entertainment has never made a kung fu movie, let alone signed a kung fu actor, so it is a little difficult to find someone who can play the leading role.
The male protagonist is to be determined, then he can only look for other actors first, among them, the heroine Yueci is a blind person, her personality belongs to the kind of fame and fortune, and at the same time she loves life very much.
She doesn't have to be pretty, as long as she gives people a gentle feeling, and at the same time is more attractive.
There are no suitable actors on Datang Entertainment's side, so Tang Mu can only go to Yushi Entertainment to choose the heroine.
Here in Yushi Entertainment, after the famous female artist Tang Mu saw it, she didn't feel very satisfied, they were either too beautiful, or their aura was too big to control this role at all.
In Tang Mu's opinion, the role of Yueci is best played by newcomers, and he still hopes to bring out a few artists to prove his strength.
