Chapter 427: Forming the crew of "A Chinese Ghost Story".
24 hours later, the final paid download data for "The Lonely Brave" came out, reaching more than 30 million.
Although this data has reached the top in the Shenzhou music scene, it is even unparalleled, but it is significantly inferior to some of Yang Yue's previous records.
It must be known that Yang Yue has created a record of more than 50 million paid downloads of a song in 24 hours before.
When the outside world was amazed by the number of paid downloads of Yang Yue's song "The Lonely Brave" in 24 hours, Cai Qian couldn't help but sigh in the Dream Media Company, and said: "It seems that although your Weibo fans have increased, there are fewer fans who are willing to support you." After all, what happened before had a negative impact on you. โ
Yang Yue sat opposite Cai Qian, and smiled nonchalantly when he heard this: "It's okay, the more than 30 million paid downloads on the first day are enough." As long as the song is good enough, I believe that others will still download the song later.
In addition, as long as I continue to produce good works, I believe that the negative impact of the previous incident will gradually fade away. โ
Cai Qian nodded, and then changed the topic and asked, "Do you really want to make a movie?" โ
"Of course." Yang Yue is sure of authenticity.
"Is there a script?"
"Yes."
"Can you show me first?"
"No problem." Yang Yue said, took out his mobile phone to operate, and quickly said, "I have sent your email." โ
Cai Qian opened the mailbox with a tablet and soon saw the movie script sent by Yang Yue.
"A Chinese Ghost Story?" Cai Qian couldn't help but read out the name of the script, and a curious look appeared between her eyebrows, "You want to make a ghost movie?" โ
Yang Yue said: "It's not a ghost movie, to be precise, it should be a romance film containing oriental mysterious elements."
The original story of this script is taken from the Qing Dynasty's "Strange Tales from Liao Zhai", which contains many stories with mysterious elements, and most of them have profound meanings and have great adaptation value.
If "A Chinese Ghost Story" can be filmed well and become an instant hit, we can send other series of movies from Liaozhai in the future. โ
Cai Qian frowned when she heard this, and said: "Generally speaking, even if you adapt an existing story, it is also an adaptation of a well-known story, such as the four famous novels.
I've read a lot of ancient texts, but this is the first time I've heard of the book "Strange Tales from Liaozhai".
In addition, the fusion of ghost movies and love stories has had many similar films decades ago, and now this kind of film is still made, will the audience like it? โ
"You don't have confidence in me again, do you?" Yang Yue said with a smile, "I wanted to shoot martial arts dramas before, but you are not optimistic, saying that martial arts are dead, and martial arts dramas have long been out of the market."
The result? Now which of my three martial arts dramas has not been a big hit, and which one has not earned hundreds of millions for the company? โ
Cai Qian had nothing to say, and was even a little embarrassed.
In the past, she felt that her sense of smell in the entertainment industry was very keen, and her judgment was good, but Yang Yue failed to do so.
In order to hide her embarrassment, she coughed and changed the subject: "Then how much are you going to invest in this movie?" โ
Yang Yue raised a finger and said, "At least 100 million, this movie still has high requirements for service and special effects." โ
Cai Qian knows that Yang Yue is reluctant to spend too much on remuneration when filming, and would rather find newcomers or second- and third-tier actors who are not very famous, rather than those famous traffic actors.
Of course, if the actor really meets the requirements of the role, Yang Yue will definitely not be reluctant to give up the money.
But compared with others, Yang Yue does spend less on remuneration for filming.
In this way, most of his budget of 100 million yuan should be spent on service and special effects.
Moreover, Yang Yue said "at least 100 million", which means that it may cost 200 million or 300 million.
Thinking about this, Cai Qian couldn't help but say: "It seems that you have high expectations for this movie and have high requirements." โ
"Of course."
Cai Qian groaned and said, "Have you ever thought that if you make a movie, even if you are not boycotted by all the theaters in Shenzhou, you may be suppressed in the film schedule?" โ
Gu Yuyang Yue said: "The situation you said may indeed occur, but I believe that no one will have trouble with money."
If my "A Chinese Ghost Story" has a good reputation and is popular with the audience enough, it will be as detailed as "Big Fish and Begonia", and it will be valued by various theaters. โ
Hearing this, Cai Qian couldn't help laughing, "It seems that you are really confident." โ
"I've always been confident."
In fact, Yang Yue is not confident, but believes in the classic entertainment works that have been proven in the earth's time and space.

After communicating with Cai Qian, Yang Yue went directly to the film production department of Old Dream Media to prepare the crew of "A Chinese Ghost Story".
The executive director and executive producer were all transferred from the TV production department, Yang Yue knew each other, and they were all deputies over there before, one was called Ni Yuanlong, and the other was called Cheng Zeng.
In addition, Yang Yue did not forget to transfer Zhao Guan, who has been in charge of filming costume MVs, to be an assistant director for training.
He is also the screenwriter.
filmed three TV series in a row, although Yang Yue wrote everything to Yang Xudong for adaptation, he was also responsible for review.
Over the past few years, he has relied on his ability to remember and now he can write scripts quite proficiently.
The script of "A Chinese Ghost Story" was written by him based on the 87th version of "A Chinese Ghost Story" in the earth's time and space in his memory.
As for other crew members such as camera, lighting, and service, the TV production department and the Dream MV studio have cultivated some of them, and they can form a very good, easy-to-use crew by pulling some people over.
In the end, the key to forming a crew is the selection of actors.
It stands to reason that you should try to choose from the actors of Dream Media, especially the actors of the male and female protagonists.
However, in Yang Yue's eyes, none of the company's actors are suitable for playing Ning Caichen and Nie Xiaoqian.
The 87 version of "A Chinese Ghost Story" left him with too deep an impression, no matter which actor in the company played the male and female leads, he would feel awkward.
In this way, even if the world has not seen the 87 version and will not make comparisons, Yang Yue can't pass the test in his heart, so he will not be happy to shoot.
As for letting Zhou Qian, who is exactly the same as Liu Tianxian, play Nie Xiaoqian, Yang Yue also thought about it.
But no matter how he compares in his mind, he doesn't like Liu Tianxian's 11th version of "A Chinese Ghost Story".
At least he thinks there is a significant gap between the 11th edition and the 87th edition.
Therefore, what Yang Yue hopes most is to copy the 87 version of "A Chinese Ghost Story" to this world, and use the current service, special effects and other technologies to optimize it.
In this way, you can get a better 87 version of "A Chinese Ghost Story".
After coming to the film production department, Yang Yue said to executive producer Cheng Zeng: "When I release the news, I will say that I am going to make a costume movie and am ready to openly recruit male and female lead actors." โ
Cheng Zeng couldn't help but be surprised when he heard it: "Aren't you selected from our company's artists?" โ
Yang Yue said: "If there is no suitable one, what to choose?" Don't grind, just do what I say. โ
Yang Yue's idea is actually very simple.
Since he can find a copy of Liu Tianxian in this world, maybe he can also find a copy of his brother and Lao Wang?
No, it should be Xiao Wang.
Even if the hope is small, he should give it a try.
Even if you don't find it in the end, it's good to meet actors who are more suitable for playing the roles of Ning Caichen and Nie Xiaoqian than those actors in the company.
In this case, at the end of November, the impact of Yang Yue's marriage and the new song "The Lonely Brave" has not yet dissipated, so a Weibo posted by Dream Media Guan Wei has once again attracted the attention of many people in the entertainment industry.
