Chapter 90: Kung Fu Panda (Part II)
"Well, yes. The idea is very good. I think this is a way of thinking, there are also many singers in China who want to become film and television stars, but their own acting skills are a big problem. And our AI face-swapping technology can solve this. You can talk to Lao Mo that this may be a breakthrough for him in the music world. β
On the phone, Li Xianyun said to Tang Lei.
Tang Lei was puzzled, "But AI face change is just face change, singers still need to perform, &nbp;&nbp;, and it's performing in the air, isn't it?" β
"No, no, you don't get it. The difference is too great. Without AI face-swapping technology, actors have to perform live, which requires a lot of acting skills. But with face-swapping technology, it doesn't matter. We can photograph them in everyday life, &nbp;&nbp; their joys and sorrows, as long as we capture these expressions and put them on through face-swapping technology. Acting in life is the most real, but there is no substitute for movie shooting, and we can! Li Xianyun explained, "As long as you invite all the singers over, do a variety show at will, and make them cry or laugh, the same emotional substitution can be solved." Just do a good job of dubbing. β
"Where's the mouth shape?"
"Lip sync is an issue, so capture more. Then design the lines according to their mouth shape. β
Tang Lei was confused: "I have never heard of such a way of filming. β
Li Xianyun was happy, "The reason why Yisheng Media can succeed is because we never take the usual path. β
"Okay then, I'll go talk to Lao Mo...... Thank you. Tang Lei said.
Tang Lei knew that Li Xianyun deliberately told him first, that is, let him use his own thoughts to tell Mo Rui, so that he could make up for their rift.
Bosses generally don't deliberately match subordinates too closely, they always want subordinates to keep a certain distance, don't make contradictions, don't get too close.
Li Xianyun did this, &nbp;&nbp; is also a great trust in him.
And Tang Lei also has a third variety show, and the direction is not to make money, but to mobilize the emotions of stars.
After explaining to Tang Lei, &nbp;&nbp;Li Xianyun stayed here in the United States for about a month.
The first is a series of film and television cooperation under Yisheng Media, &nbp;&nbp;including the pet agent team, etc., will be handed over to the guest for distribution,&nbp;&nbp;But this time the guest will not buy out again,But give a high shareγ
To put it bluntly, they are willing to give up this part of the profit for the sake of the greater plan in the future - in other words, it can't be regarded as giving up, it's just a matter of earning more and earning less.
Then Li Xianyun discussed the framework with the screenwriter found by Baike - he said that he was using the culture and ideas of the Chinese people as the main framework, but with the old problems, how could he, as the boss, not intervene?
Fortunately, screenwriters in any country are accustomed to the fact that investors wave their hands.
Compared with other investors who don't understand bullshit, Li Xianyun is a screenwriter and at least understands more.
Of course, the more you know, the more you require, the more troublesome it is.
The two sides discussed the framework of the script very much, and finally settled on an adventure story.
Enter a magical animal world by five actors, where all animals speak to people, as well as humans, like a fairytale kingdom.
It's a bit like Jumanji's Game Battle Jungle.
The reason why such a framework is set is because of the universality of the script.
If the story takes place in the United States, then it will be out of place when replaced by a Chinese actor. Many normal stories in the United States will seem abnormal when they happen to the Chinese.
But adventure stories don't matter.
People from all walks of life from all walks of life gather together, because of a chance to come to a fairytale kingdom-like world, &nbp;&nbp; Chinese people can enter, Chinese people can also enter. The backgrounds can be highly overlapping, and at most when introducing the actors' respective experiences, shoot a little more - or how to say that the blockbuster must have a simple plot? The simpler it is, the more versatile it is!
Several of the replaced actors have their own set of stories, and that's it, with very little to reshoot.
There are even some who are originally Asians who replace Asians.
For example, in addition to the two leading actors in the rice version, there will also be blacks, Asians and Jews.
So in the Chinese version, the two leading actors will not be changed, just replace the black and Jewish people, and the common Asian is a kung fu boy.
Perfect replacement!
Pandas will be the biggest helper of humans, helping them all the way through the level and defeating any animal or human bo, but everyone unanimously discussed that it is better to be human.
This will make animal protection groups like it, and preach that humans are sinful and everything else is good.
But the name can't be called Kung Fu Panda.
There are no copyright issues with the panda itself, but there are ready-made cartoons for Kung Fu Panda, and there are definitely copyright issues with the name.
Therefore, in the end, it was tentatively named the Land of Peach Spring.
The idea of this name is to make a big background that can be used to make a set in the future.
You can even publish books and animations.
The behind-the-scenes background of the Land of Paradise is made in a form that can be understood by Western culture, and after it is completed, Yisheng Media will revise it to strive to be accepted by both sides.
Some changes have also been made in terms of sharing.
The tentative total investment is 100 million meters, that is, about 600 million Chinese dollars, which is the highest single film in the history of Yisheng Media.
But it's impossible to get that much money.
Li Xianyun made a list of huge expenses for animal performance, and the guest company also admitted that people's technology should indeed be counted as money, as long as it can achieve results.
The company will pay for the two leading actors, plus the overseas publicity in China and other regions and the corresponding 10% of the cost, that is, 15 million rice yuan, to get 35% of the domestic income of the United States, give up the box office income of China, and other overseas regions get 20% of the income.
In terms of copyright, Yisheng Media owns 80% of the copyright, Baike owns 20%, all peripheral development is based on year-on-year revenue, part of Huaguo Yisheng Media is exclusive, and Mi and other overseas regions are also responsible for Baike, but the development cost of this part is discounted.
In addition, Baike insisted that the director should also be served by a Mi Guoren, and the cost would be borne by Yisheng Media. The reason why this is so is a cultural issue, directors from different countries have different styles, since it is a film that is partial to the culture of the United States, it is best for the director of the United States to be responsible.
But in terms of the theme song and soundtrack, it is exclusive to the guests - they have to sign a contract with Alan Walker, and get the people and the song at a relatively low price, and Alan Walker's song is a big source of money.
Li Xianyun accepted it, you have to give others a profiteering, and besides, this kind of relationship is indeed their own ability.
Whoever has the resources will enjoy it, and if you can do it, you will eat the lion's head.
Li Xianyun roughly estimated that according to such conditions, Yisheng Media would be able to pay a maximum of 80 million Chinese dollars.
This 100 million meters is mainly the venue, scenery, art, etc. - to build a huge natural jungle world, and even build a royal palace if necessary.
If it is calculated according to the pit investors, then this will also become the most ruthless pit investors in history, and it is also an expert in the pit.
But on the other hand, it really can't be considered a pit.
According to the visitor's plan, there will be a large number of animals inside, and each animal will have detailed requirements, in addition to related magical special effects that show imagination.
Aren't you awesome?
Didn't you say that only you can't think of it, and you can't do it without me?
They even dare to imagine the scene of wolves sitting around playing cards, sows going up trees, and pandas flying into the sky.
Li Xianyun was so bullish that he had to humbly say that this really can't be done by the laws of nature, and the little chicks can't eat the eagles, so that the tigers and lions stand in a row and sing k, and the wolves applaud is already the limit.
Sows have to look at explosiveness when they go up trees.
You can try drinking and boxing, but the panda flying is really not good.
