More than a month passed, and "Myth" was officially launched.

As is customary, a ceremony was held to start the machine.

Although it seems a bit feudal and superstitious, the process that should be followed still has to be followed.

What's more, in these years, the richer the more people burn incense and worship God, they are more active than the poor.

With the exposure of the boot stills, after the lineup of the movie was revealed.

The entertainment industry was shocked, and countless netizens went crazy.

Because, the "Myth" movie officially announced the news that Ye Ranqiu will be the heroine!

Originally, everyone thought that Ye Ranqiu appeared in the boot photo, or like the last time "You Are My Glory", it was just a special performance, and there would not be too many scenes.

As a result, this time is not the same.

Ye Ranqiu is the heroine!

This was a real surprise.

Because, Ye Ranqiu has already rejected the invitations of many big directors, including Zhang Kai'an, a top domestic director.

"Ye Tianhou heroine? Must support! ”

"Jiang Che is so awesome, he actually invited Ye Ranqiu to play the heroine."

"I'm going, is the relationship between Ye Ranqiu and Jiang Che so good? Repeatedly made exceptions for Jiang Che! ”

"6666, how did Jiang Che do it?"

"Is it Jiang Che who can't refuse a price that Ye Tianhou can't refuse?"

"Looking forward to the performance of the diva!"

"Ahhhh

The movie "Myth", when it was filmed in the original world of Jackie Chan, cost about 15 million US dollars.

This figure, even if it is pushed back more than ten years, is not a low cost.

And at the beginning of the new century, let alone a proper large-scale production.

If you convert it with inflation, it is almost a blockbuster of hundreds of millions of investments in later generations.

At the beginning, the box office of this movie in the mainland seemed to be 160 million.

If you only look at the mainland box office, it will definitely be a blood loss.

Fortunately, Jackie Chan still has overseas markets, which is not a small box office, plus the distribution and copyright of follow-up CDs and the like, it is no problem for movies to make money.

Now it's Jiang Che's turn to shoot it himself, and his own estimate of the cost is 300 million.

This is because he has a full set of shooting plan guidance from the system, and he doesn't have to take a lot of detours, and he can save a lot of unnecessary waste.

There's a lot of money involved.

Otherwise, the cost will be much higher.

It's just that Jiang Che can't determine exactly how much is needed, and it depends on what happens during the filming process.

If necessary, add more.

The movie "Myth", in Jiang Che's heart, has always occupied a relatively high position.

After Jackie Chan got older, he didn't make a few good movies, but "Myth" is really good.

In Jiang Che's opinion, this is definitely a good movie.

It's just that I was hacked too much at that time.

Mainly because of this theme, in the eyes of many people at the time, it was very different from Jackie Chan's previous movie style.

The god of war in the furniture market suddenly stopped gags and comedy actions, and actually made an affectionate historical costume romance, which is quite different from pure action movies.

Completely lost Jackie Chan's personal characteristics!

Without the golden signboards of the past, the audience who entered the theater did not see the content they wanted to watch, so they naturally sprayed the movie.

At the beginning, on the famous film and television scoring website Douban, the score was not even 6, that is, it failed, only a few points of five.

This score is simply the evaluation of a big bad movie.

It wasn't until many years later, over time, that the film received a relatively fair evaluation.

The rating on the website has been slowly rising, coming to 6.9.

But Jiang Che feels that this movie is worth more than 7 points.

This inevitably reminded him that in fact, in the early years, Stephen Chow's movies did not score high.

Let's just say that the film "Kung Fu" can basically be said to be the pinnacle of the star that everyone recognizes.

But when it was first released, it was also hacked.

The score on the website is only about seven points, and it has been sprayed by many people, saying that it is different from Stephen Chow's previous crazy nonsense and funny.

As a result, it wasn't until later that everyone found out that the artistic component of this movie was really as high as three or four floors.

From the beginning to the end, every sentence is a classic, and many famous stalks have been born.

Many people can even memorize their lines when they see it, and if they say a random word on the forum, there will be a bunch of people below to pick it up.

In this way, the score of "Kung Fu" rose to 8.8 and became a masterpiece in the hearts of many people.

So, sometimes momentary depreciation doesn't mean anything.

Some things take time to test.

Huang Jiaju's Beyond was still pressed and beaten by grasshoppers back then!

But what about decades from now?

Everyone has their own conclusions.

A good work can withstand the washing and baptism of time.

However, this is also related to the fact that earlier, domestic people were more fond of kneeling and licking, and blindly boasted about Europe, America, Japan and South Korea.

I always feel that everything is good for foreigners.

When you see a foreign work, it's easy to get a high score.

On the other hand, the domestic ones are deliberately given low scores and all kinds of picks with all kinds of prejudice and contempt.

Therefore, many people say that foreign films will automatically add one point, and domestic films will automatically subtract one point.

This situation lasted for many years, and it was not until the awakening and rising of national consciousness that it was gradually reversed.

Therefore, it wasn't until many years later that when everyone mentioned Jackie Chan's movie, they all said that the movie "Myth" was filmed early, and their luck was not good.

If it is released after the explosion of the mainland film market, it may be an exaggeration to say that 3 billion, but 2 billion should be fine.

Because, Jackie Chan later made a "Kung Fu Yoga", which is a really bad movie.

But relying on the name of the sequel to "Myth", coupled with the high traffic during the holidays, the box office of 1.7 billion was cut!

Therefore, Jiang Che believes that he will definitely make money by filming "Myth", although the investment is not low.

Of course, the original version of "Mythology" still has great flaws and needs to be further corrected and improved by him.

For example, the ratio of the two parts of the story is not very good, and the switching of rhythm is a bit problematic.

The core theme of the movie is love and love across time and space, but the specific presentation of this part by the male and female protagonists is actually a bit less.

Of course, these are easy to change.

and the ancient war scenes were too rubbish, and they didn't show the majesty of the Great Qin Empire at all.

This part of the ancient period is a little weakly filmed.

Therefore, Jiang Che intends to increase investment in this area.

The grandeur of the ancient scene must be filmed.

The other is the issue of actors, originally Tang Jili made this film because he wanted to find Takeshi Kaneshiro to act. As a result, when Jackie Chan saw this script, he liked it very much, and then he cut off his beard directly.

With the relationship between Tang Jili and Jackie Chan, coupled with Jackie Chan's status, Tang Jili naturally has no way to refuse.

However, Jackie Chan played this role, which was also criticized by many people.

Because, he is old, and when he is with Kim Hee-sun, he has no sense of CP at all!

At that time, everyone thought that Kim Hee-sun was absolutely beautiful, and there were no dead ends in all directions of 360 degrees.

But Jackie Chan is old and ugly, these two are not a match at all on the screen, and they don't feel like a couple, let alone act in this great love that has spanned thousands of years.

Regarding this, Jiang Che is not worried.

Because, this time, he played the role of Meng Yi himself.

With his appearance, he is still worthy of Princess Yushu played by Ye Ranqiu.

The two of them are on the screen, and they should have a sense of CP.

The only problem is that he is currently a couple with Gao Wen in the eyes of the outside world, and I don't know if this will affect everyone's perception of him and Ye Ranqiu.

However, his personal guess is that it should not be.

As long as the shooting is good enough, these off-site factors generally have no effect.

Even, when the time comes, there will be another group of people who will snort him and Ye Ranqiu's CP, and then quarrel with the group of people who snort him and Gao Wen.

In this way, it will help the popularity of the movie, and it is a good publicity, which will help the box office of the movie!

In addition to the above, the most important thing is the Tiangong special effects at the end of the film.

In Jackie Chan's era, the special effects of the Heavenly Palace floating in the Mausoleum of the First Emperor were actually quite technically produced.

Nowadays, however, computer special effects technology is developing quite well.

Therefore, in this paragraph, Jiang Che's requirements are very high.

You must come up with top-notch visual effects, only in this way can you shock the audience, and when the time comes, it will be so good that people can blow it to the outside world!

Special effects are very expensive, and they should even be described by the word burn, which is more affordable.

If you want to shoot the ending well, you definitely have to spend a lot of money.

Therefore, Jiang Che estimated that it would start at 300 million.

In the future, if you pat and pat and find that there is a need, it is also very possible to increase it to 400 million.

Therefore, the return line of the box office must be at least more than one billion.

He is very confident in this.

Some other companies that co-produce and invest in companies are generally more trusting than worried.

After all, Jiang Che had proven his abilities many times.

It's just that the investment in this movie is a bit large, and it can be regarded as a real blockbuster.

With such a large investment, compared with small-cost film and television, the difference is still quite large.

Some people can make good low-budget movies, but they can't grasp high-budget blockbusters.

There are also examples of this in the film and television industry.

Other capital, the only concern, is this.

However, Jiang Che is a super genius after all.

So, although there were some worries, no one from the company came out and said anything.

Take 10,000 steps back and say, even if the movie is really not filmed well and loses money, it will be Jiang Che's worst loss.

Because, he himself is the biggest investor!

…………

The filming locations of "Mythology" include the Qin Warriors Museum, Jiuxiang Lava Cave, Lishan Cliff Waterfall, the Disha Holy Mountain, the Disha Temple and the Shengshadi Ancient Tomb on the Asan side.

Jiang Che took the crew and flew to Ah Sanguo's side first, filmed all the scenes there, and then returned to China to film.

Because, the filming location over there is more troublesome to coordinate.

Finally, if you communicate well, you have to finish filming as soon as possible, and it is not open casually, saying that you can make a movie.

Compared with domestic, this kind of cross-border coordination is much more troublesome.

After staying at Ah San's side for about a week, all the relevant scenes were successfully filmed, and Jiang Che flew back to China with a group of people to continue filming.

The whole progress is relatively smooth.

Compared with Jackie Chan's speed of completion after only about half a month of filming, Jiang Che is not so fast.

Because, he is more refined.

In particular, the scenes in this part of the ancient period are even grander.

It's also more cumbersome to schedule.

Correspondingly, the shooting efficiency will naturally slow down.

He estimated that it would take about a month and a half to finish.

This efficiency is much higher than that of many crews now.

You know, this is a blockbuster with an investment of hundreds of millions!

With this amount of investment, shoot for others, such as some big directors, at least for half a year.

Domestic dramas also involve two parts: ancient and modern.

Jiang Che first led people to shoot modern dramas, except for the part where he entered the Mausoleum of the First Emperor at the end.

In this way, it is carried out separately, it is easier to schedule, and it will not be too messy.

Moreover, there are too many things to prepare for ancient plays.

For example, clothing, armor, weapons, horses, etc.

He has high requirements for the texture of ancient scenes, so these aspects need to be coordinated and perfected by several assistant directors to strive for the best.

In addition, dragon actors also need a large number of actors who can shoot action scenes, know how to ride horses, and preferably martial arts.

Nowadays, many people are filming circus, and they are riding fake horses.

Jiang Che could never accept this.

Live shooting, you have to shoot magnificent scenes, how can you fake?

Once you cheat, you don't have that smell.

"Director Jiang, your girlfriend is here!"

Jiang Che took people back to China and prepared to shoot a modern drama on the first day, and he got not very good news.

Gao Wen is here to visit the class!

He didn't want Gao Wen to come, because he was worried that something would go wrong.

"Why are you here?"

As a marketing couple, Jiang Che still had to pretend in front of others, so he personally greeted Gao Wen warmly.

Now that it's all loaded, it's definitely going to continue.

Good people do it to the end.

Gao Wen said with a smile: "Come and see you, supervise you, and see if there are any intimate scenes!" ”

I heard that Jiang Che had taken people abroad, so she didn't chase after her.

As soon as she heard that Jiang Che was back, she immediately rushed over.

She thought that the breakthrough in her relationship with Jiang Che was when she was filming "You Are My Glory".

The crew is the kind of place that is the easiest way for both men and women to have progress in their relationship.

So, she decided to come over and take a good look!

Ye Ranqiu's threat is still too big to be taken lightly.

"Gao Wen, don't worry, there is no intimate scene between me and Jiang Che."

After Ye Ranqiu heard it, he said to Gao Wen with a smile.

She didn't mind Gao Wen's act of swearing sovereignty.

Of course she knew that the relationship between Jiang Che and Gao Wen was fake, and Jiang Che had told her about it at the beginning.

However, now in front of so many people, she naturally has to cooperate with acting.

To be a man, you have to be on the road, and you can't just dismantle people.

Jiang Che listened to it very loudly, and he always felt that it was not good.

He asked Gao Wen with a wry smile: "It's really not, how long do you plan to stay here?" ”
