Chapter 137: It's okay to fight zombies, the pattern should be big
When Wang Wei saw this script codenamed "Heroine", he was very surprised!
It's not that I'm surprised that this zombie film script is written by a female director.
was mainly surprised that this script was very similar to a movie called "Resident Evil" that he had seen in the original time and space.
Well, to be precise, it should be "Resident Evil 1".
However, it was a game adaptation of the movie, and this was the original script.
Zombie-themed Chinese-language movies are actually not new.
Although in this time and space, the core law of zombie movies is still established by the "Night of the Living Dead" - zombies move instinctively, and their only goal is to eat fresh human flesh, which is quickly transmitted and can only be eliminated by headshots.
But the difference is that zombie movies don't exactly belong to Western pop culture.
-- Although the Cold War between the East and the West in this time and space did not have the Cuban Missile Crisis, there was a similar crisis of nuclear war that was on the verge of breaking out.
Under the shadow of the annihilation, different from the traditional resentful corpses, the zombies, or living dead, born because of the backlash of modern technology, have also entered the Asian cultural circle and become the object of fear projection.
Of course, among Chinese movies, there are only a handful of action movies with big heroines, and the big heroines fight zombies unprecedentedly.
However, the memory of "Resident Evil" can drive the zombie film boom at the turn of the century, which is enough to prove that the market not only exists, but also is large.
Therefore, the problem of audience acceptance that ordinary people are worried about is not a problem at all here in Wang Wei -
"The commercial positioning of this film is still okay."
As soon as Wang Wei's words came out, director He Wenying finally put his mind at ease.
She glanced at the calm Shen Zhenyi with admiration.
ββThe other party said that if it is reviewed by other people in Dunhuang, the probability of passing is very high; But if it is Wang Wei, his eyes always seem to be able to see places that ordinary people can't see, and in the end it turns out that he is right.
- For example, the market value of an unconventional work.
And first get Wang Wei's approval, with his vision as a guarantee, this film can give the green light all the way in Dunhuang.
Well, it's a bit of a producer's strategizing.
Yes, Shen Jung-yi is not interested in participating in this film, but she is interested in serving as the second producer of this film and carrying out the preliminary preparations together.
The first step, of course, is to get the plan approved.
For a film to be commercially successful, it must have a clear commercial positioning.
Shen Zhenyi and He Wenying both understand that movies that fight zombies, exciting and violent action scenes, and highly entertaining and ornamental visual spectacles are the essence.
These are reflected in the script, which proves that He Wenying is capable of directing such a zombie action movie.
This point has also been recognized by Wang Wei.
Even, he recognized it too much!
So much so that they are not satisfied with this idea being made into a movie.
- Another time and space, a similar idea, but it has been made into a series of movies!
Wang Wei pondered in his heart, raised his head and said: "This movie can be made, but it can completely derive a wonderful world view and make it into a series......"
In Wang Wei's view, the "Resident Evil" series of movies in the original time and space had the opportunity to become classics that developed in parallel with the game.
The many protagonists of the game play soy sauce in the movie, and the special effects are not prominent, as long as the movie world setting does not collapse-
In the game, the infection of biochemical viruses is basically limited to a local area. In the final analysis, the purpose of the villain boss has never been to destroy the world, but to obtain economic or political benefits through the bug-level weapon of the biochemical virus, and it can even be said that it can affect the pattern of the world.
On the other hand, in the movie, the biochemical viruses in 1 and 2 are still limited to military bases and Raccoon City, and the motives of the villain boss are also reasonable.
After the 3rd part, it was announced that human civilization was destroyed as soon as it came up, the villain's motive was no longer established, and the plot completely let go of himself - the later series of movies can be regarded as magic movies, and the heroine is simply superhuman and omnipotent.
Wang Wei, who originally liked this series, saw the back, and when he saw it, 10,000 grass and mud horses floated by in his heart!
is a good classic, but it has become a low-budget B-grade series where the director entertains himself and shows off his wife, and the pattern is too small!
- I'm afraid no one is more qualified than the director of the original book to say that the Resident Evil series is really a successful work!
- In the movie, he found his wife, he found a job for his wife, he showed his wife on the screen again and again and happily counted the money, and finally it seems that he still shows his daughter in the movie......
Wang Wei frantically complained about the original work in his heart, and at the same time learned the lessons of the original work, "...... As long as each film changes places and revolves around a theme - biotechnology, which is supposed to bring convenience to mankind, has become a victim of human greed, and slowly advances steadily, this will be a very money-attracting series of movies. β
After all, even if the original series has endless slots, it is still the most gold-absorbing game reform movie, which is enough to prove its unique charm.
Shen Zhenyi and He Wenying glanced at each other and looked at each other.
Play big and have wood!
They just want to make a vigorous girl fighting zombie movie, who will tell them, why was it turned into a series of movies by Wang Wei in a few words?
And Wang Wei's next words told them that this is not a big deal-
"By the way, have you heard of the movie and game linkage? This movie theme is very suitable for making a game, so this time we can have a real movie and game linkage. β
"In this way, the cost of one publicity can be used as two copies, not to mention, the design scheme of some special effects scenes used in the movie can also be shared in the game, perfect!"
Wang Weizhen is authentic.
Whether it is Shen Zhenyi or He Wenying, they are speechless about Wang Wei's self-talk.
I don't ask where you got the confidence that it was suitable for a game-
Just one thing, even if they don't understand game making, they also know that game production and film shooting can't be said to be unrelated, but the stories intertwined between the two are often tragedies.
This is not destined to be a project that one team can undertake.
And different teams in different industries, you don't understand me, I don't understand you, how to communicate?
I can't even communicate, I'm a ghost!
In this way, regardless of the success or failure of the project, when will the pioneering work of the new company come out?
He Wenying frowned, and Shen Zhenyi looked at Wang Wei helplessly.
This guy has a look of "I believe you can do it".
Well, he's confident, and he's not pretending.
Even before today, these were indeed no small problems.
But now, he's got a trick!
- Who would have thought that after the box office of the movie he wrote about exceeded one billion, Tongzi would have an unexpected reward?
- And there is nothing, more suitable for the whole movie game linkage than the new plug-in.
