Chapter 469: Walking with God
Chen Jing's fourth film comes from a South Korean comic of the same name, "Walking with God"!
Chen Jing watched some of this movie in his previous life and thought it was very good, so he also bought out the film and television adaptation rights of the comic early.
Later, the financialization of South Korea also came to Huaxia, and I found Crystal Entertainment and wanted to buy the film and television adaptation rights of "Walking with God", but Chen Jing directly refused!
In addition to the touching mother-son brotherhood, the movie "Walking with God" also contains many Chinese elements.
Messenger of the underworld, the judgment of the seven halls of hell cannot be said to be exactly the same as the black and white impermanence of Huaxia and the ten halls of the underworld.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that this is a work derived from Chinese mythology.
Therefore, many Chinese people who have watched this film feel that "Walking with God" is the most deserving movie that should be made in China.
It's a pity that Huaxia has a long history and culture of 5,000 years, but the film industry has never been able to make perfect use of it to make a super blockbuster that truly shows the long civilization of China!
Of course, it is not without hard work in the circle, such as "Journey to the West", "Fengshen Bang" and so on, have also filmed a lot of works, but the effect is always unsatisfactory!
And after watching "Walking with God" in her previous life, Chen Jing also thought that if she was a director, she would definitely make this movie in advance.
Take back what belongs to Huaxia!
Now, Chen Jing has this condition and opportunity, so she decided to make this new movie "Walking with God"!
Moreover, "Walking with God" is also a series of movies, which can be built into a super IP.
It can not only promote Chinese culture, but also make money, the best of both worlds, why not!
But there are two problems, one is that the movie "Walking with God" was not able to be introduced into China in its previous life.
The reason is that it was not passed during the review, and it was said that the movie "Walking with God" has the edification of feudal superstition!
Chen Jing thinks this reason is actually quite fucked, and anyone who has seen this movie knows that the movie is not promoting feudal superstition.
It's about really leading people to goodness.
After all, if you do evil in front of you, you will suffer endless cruel punishment in hell, and if you do good in your life, then you can be reincarnated, or even reincarnated in a good car.
Isn't the main thrust of the film obvious enough?
So, there are two sides to everything, it depends on what you say and what the reviewer thinks.
If you want to pass the review, Chen Jing thinks that it should not be difficult, "Walking with God" can be regarded as promoting Chinese history and culture, and at the same time guiding people to goodness.
As long as the reviewers agree with this, then it should not be difficult for "Walking with God" to pass the review.
In fact, Chen Jing also has a guess that the reason why "Walking with God" has not been reviewed in the mainland may also be related to the southern restriction order.
The relevant departments of the state have issued a ban on South Korea, and as a result, the second-highest grossing film in South Korean film history has been allowed to enter the mainland.
The key is that this movie is really good, whether it is the plot or special effects, it is top-notch!
If there is a box office explosion and it becomes the top three box office in domestic film history, it will be embarrassing!
This will make the southern restriction order a joke, and it will embarrass the relevant departments!
So, just find a reason to ban it.
Now, if Chen Jing comes to shoot, it is a domestic film, which can be regarded as looking for film inspiration and promoting Chinese culture in the excellent history and culture of China.
The authorities do not have such concerns.
Therefore, Chen Jing feels that the chance of "Walking with God" passing the review is still not small.
Of course, you must find someone to ventilate with the photoelectric to convince the reviewers that this is indeed a movie that promotes Chinese culture.
is the same as many movies released before "Journey to the West" and "Romance of the Gods".
Therefore, Chen Jing estimated that she had to find someone to cooperate with in this movie.
In addition, if it still doesn't work, then Chen Jing can only make "Walking with God" a co-production!
Let Jiang Zhiqiang put up a name and set up a co-production brand, so that the intensity of the review will be correspondingly smaller.
This point has to wait for the script to come out and report it, and see how the bottom review opinions are.
The second point is that Chen Jing must make a certain adaptation of this "Walking with God".
After all, this is a cartoon from South Korea, and it must be adapted to the national conditions of China.
The first is the messenger of the underworld, Chen Jing still decided to change it to black and white impermanence, so that everyone is familiar with the messenger of hell.
Of course, the styling is still the same as the original, so handsome that it attracts female fans, but with a different name.
In addition, there is a black suit and a white suit, implying the impermanence of black and white.
As for the assistant, Chen Jing decided to keep it, this role also makes sense, what department has no talent reserves, and the underworld must also have it.
Otherwise, in the future, black and white will retire or leave or even die, and someone will definitely have to take over.
And this role can also train new people in the company, which is tailor-made for Maimai.
There is also the fact that in the comics and the South Korean version of the movie, it is the trial of the seven halls, but in fact, the domestic myths and legends are the ten halls of the Yama king!
Of course, the first of the ten halls of the Yama kings, King Qin Guang was in charge of the first seven days after a person's death.
The ghost of the underworld sends the deceased to enter the first hall, and there is a huge bronze mirror called the "Evil Mirror Table" in the hall, which can illuminate all the things that the deceased did during his lifetime.
If this person is willing to give in his life, then he will be sent directly to the Western Elysium.
If there is a great sin in life, they will be sent to the temples for trial.
If the merits are mixed, they will enter the tenth hall and enter the six realms of reincarnation.
The male protagonist must be judged, otherwise the story will not be able to develop.
Therefore, there is no test in the first temple.
In the same way, the Wheel King of the Tenth Hall is responsible for the third year after death, and the undead will enter the Tenth Temple.
But before going in, you have to drink a bowl of Meng Po soup, and when you have forgotten all about your previous life, you will be judged by the Wheel King, and then you will be sent to the six realms of reincarnation according to what you have done in your previous life.
These six realms are the Heavenly Dao, the Asura Dao, the Humane Dao, the Animal Dao, the Hungry Ghost Dao, and the Hell Dao.
The Heavenly Path, the Asura Path, and the Humanity are good paths, and those who do good deeds and accumulate good fortune will naturally be reborn there.
The path of beasts, hungry ghosts, and hell is the path of evil, and those undead who are deeply sinful can only be reborn in this way.
Therefore, the tenth temple is directly reincarnated.
The real judgment is still the eight halls in the middle, which is actually similar to the version of the seven-hall trial in the previous life, but there is one more hall.
The Seven Halls in the previous life did not take a lot of money to judge every trial, and here you can add or subtract as appropriate when writing the script.
But it must be explained by the Ten Palaces of Yama, after all, this is the original Chinese culture, not a plagiarism that cuts corners.
In addition, "Walking with God" in the previous life involved the army of South Korea, which is definitely not possible at home and must be changed.
Chen Jing listed some things that needed to be changed in "Walking with God" while recalling, and then asked Ge Feng to notify the company's editorial department.
Ten minutes later, Chen Jing came to the conference room.
"Chen Dong!"
Chen Jing said casually when she heard this, "Everyone sit down, I brought everyone here today for my new script." ”
After hearing this, everyone couldn't help but glance at each other, the boss is going to make a new film!
Everyone was a little surprised by this, because Chen Jing's previous three movies were all scripts written by herself, and the screenwriting department basically did not participate in the discussion.
This is the first time that the screenwriting department has been involved in the script.
"I've straightened out the general line of the script, and now I need some help with specific details and expertise." Chen Jing said, "So it depends on your performance." ”
Chen Manlin, as the director of the editorial department, immediately nodded and said, "Then Chen Dong, tell us about the general situation of this script first!" ”
Chen Jing nodded when she heard this, and then explained the story of "Walking with God".
After finishing speaking, without waiting for everyone's reaction, Chen Jing listed the details that needed to be added, as well as the myths and legends involved, and asked everyone to ask for proof in place.
Don't make an oolong, let the audience complain that it is too unprofessional, or the screenwriter is too bad, summer eight editors!
"Okay, Dong Chen, I've written it down, and we'll finish it as soon as possible." Chen Manling said.
Chen Jing nodded when he heard this, "I also wrote a synopsis version myself, and I will ask Xiaofeng to pass it on to you later, and you can write it accordingly." ”
"Okay, Chen Dong!" Chen Manlin replied.
After handing over the adaptation of the script of "Walking with God" to Chen Manlin and the screenwriting department, Chen Jing went to Chen Guofu.
"Walking with God" has to find Chen Guofu as a producer, his professional ability and experience are the most reassuring to Chen Jing, with Chen Guofu, Chen Jing can concentrate on directing.
After Chen Guofu listened to Chen Jing finish saying "Walking with God", he couldn't help but light up, "This book is good, it combines Chinese culture and modern civilization, and if it is done well, it will not be bad." ”
Chen Jing smiled and nodded, "I think so too, but this is inseparable from the support of special effects, costumes, photography, art design, and action design."
I need the best people in the country in all aspects of the country to create the perfect movie in my mind. ”
Chen Guofu smiled after hearing this, "I'll leave this aspect to me, I'm familiar with them!" ”
Baodao debuted, Xiangjiang Development, served as a consultant to Columbia Asia, and was once the director of Huayi.
Therefore, whether it is the behind-the-scenes talents in the mainland or Xiangjiang Treasure Island, Chen Guofu is very familiar with it, and maintains a good relationship with top masters.
This is also the most valuable point of Chen Guofu, he was able to find Chen Jing the top behind-the-scenes team in China.
"I'll leave it to you, and I'll rest assured." Chen Jing nodded.
After saying goodbye to Chen Guofu, Chen Jing contacted October Animation, the excitement of "Walking with God", and the special effects part accounted for half.
The movie involves special effects such as metal, water, fire, sand, mirror, ice, air, and iron, and it requires the participation of a powerful special effects company.
It's just that Tian Xiaopeng also gave a reply, but October animation will definitely not be able to do it, at least the top special effects companies in China, such as Tiangong Color, etc.
At this point, Chen Jing has no problem, so let's find a special effects company such as Tiangong Brilliant to join.
In the movie "Walking with God", Chen Jing's own budget is 400 million yuan, and the investment in special effects will definitely not be less, so there is no need to think about money.
Then, Tian Xiaopeng helped contact the special effects company.
After these were resolved, Chen Jing began to consider the problem of character actors.
Now the only confirmed role in "Walking with God" is the messenger of the underworld, the lovely assistant, and this role is for Mai Mai.
Whether it is age, temperament and acting skills, they are very compatible.
The remaining male number one, the two messengers of the underworld, the hero's younger brother and mother, and the Ten Palaces of Hades, etc., all need to be considered.
For the upright and kind male number one, he is an ordinary mortal, so the first reaction in Chen Jing's mind is Zhang Yi, who has already cooperated!
This face is indeed ordinary, it has nothing to do with handsome, a real ordinary face, but the acting skills are very good, and it fits the actor too well.
The number one choice without a doubt.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading!
As for black and white impermanence, the older Bai Impermanence is also the team leader, and he needs an older actor who is handsome, cool, and famous.
Chen Jing is ready to form a super luxury lineup, and each role must be well-known or an old actor.
Liu Dehua seems to be good, the age is suitable, handsome enough, and famous.
Deng Chao can also do it, his age, appearance, and fame are enough, the only thing he is worried about is that he is afraid that he will let the audience play!
As for Black Impermanence, it is also the first combat power, he is a young person, and he must be handsome, which is very in line with the current top-notch conditions.
This shouldn't be difficult to find, but if it doesn't work, Chen Jing will go on it herself!
……
Just when Chen Jing was preparing for her new film, on April 13, 2018, the much-anticipated life slow variety show "Longing for Life 2" officially landed on Shonan Satellite TV.
Although the regular host Mei Na has been replaced by Tianbao, this variety show that was popular last year is still very hot.
Unlike the first season, "Longing for Life 2" received super high courtesy.
The broadcast platform Shonan Satellite TV remains unchanged, but the broadcast rights of video websites are very sought-after, and in the end, kiwifruit spent a sky-high price to win the exclusive broadcast rights.
In addition, the cost of various sponsorships has doubled.
Take the naming fee as an example, no one named it in the first season and then it was picked up by the monkey mushroom and won it for 50 million yuan.
By the time of the second season, the naming fee had risen to 150 million, which tripled!
Other sponsorship fees and advertising costs have also risen.
And in the second season pilot broadcast on April 13, the ratings reached 1.008%, directly breaking 1%, which was at ten o'clock in the evening!
This rating ranked second in the variety show ratings of all time periods that night, and the first place was "Let's Run 2"!
The ratings of the pilot film let everyone see the popularity of "Longing for Life 2", and also reassured the title sponsors, sponsors, and advertisers.
In addition to the program team coming to Jiangsu and Zhejiang in the south, the new member Tianbao has also attracted much attention in the pilot film.
Tianbao's appearance is not inferior to Mina, but she is obviously more active than Mina, and she has more interaction with the other three guests, so it is very natural to get along.
Of course, she is better than Mina when she works, and she is a "female man"!
The good-looking and living "female man" character design obviously made everyone very satisfied with Tianbao, and gradually let go of her dissatisfaction with replacing Mina.
