Chapter 396: "Kung Fu" starts filming
Han Guangyong left Yunhai Media with gratitude and satisfaction.
He was confident.
He was in high spirits.
He was passionate.
A few days ago, the sullenness in my heart that had accumulated because I was extorted billions of resources by Yunhai Media was swept away at this moment.
Han Guangyong wanted to fly to the company and tell the company's senior management the good news: Although the vitality of our Canxing culture has been greatly damaged, as long as this movie is operated properly, most of the losses will be recovered.
In fact, even at this moment, he couldn't believe that Wang Mo would sell him such a good movie script.
But the facts were in front of him, and he had to believe it.
The script can't be faked.
He's not stupid.
The two people he brought with him today are also not fools, and these two people are also senior screenwriters of the company.
The script that was able to conquer the three of them proved that it was excellent.
Even in his opinion, the script of "Demon Capital Fortress" is even better than "Jingwu Heroes".
The script of "Jingwu Hero" is actually a clichΓ© story of a martial arts practitioner returning to China for revenge, without any highlights at all, but it is such a movie, and the final box office is close to three billion.
Then it should be no problem for "Demon City Fortress" to get 5 billion at the box office by then, right?
Thinking of this, Han Guangyong said: "Lao Zhang, Lao Qian, let's go back to the meeting immediately, let the company immediately set up a project for the film, and then enter the shooting as soon as possible." β
"Good!"
The two also knew that the matter was urgent.
Now the situation of Canxing culture is not good, and a movie must be used immediately to save the decline.
And now "Magic City Fortress" has become a lifesaver.
β¦β¦
Yunhai Media.
After Han Guangyong and the other three left, Yuan Xiong was still a little depressed and said: "Amer, I always feel that you are feeding the dog with meat buns." β
"Oh?"
Wang Mo smiled.
Yuan Xiong rubbed his eyebrows: "You, you're still too young." As the leader of the Chinese entertainment industry, even if it suffers a heavy blow this time, it is impossible to sincerely bow to us. So I'm sure they'll be pinning their hopes on it as soon as they get your movie script, and maybe even mono-financed the filming of "Fortress of the Magic City" and use it to make a comeback. β
Owned?
Wang Mo's eyes lit up.
If Canxing Culture really wants to shoot as a sole proprietor, that's the best news!
Don't look at Canxing Culture as an entertainment giant with a market value of 10 billion, but it is still a huge problem to mobilize 300 million or 400 million funds to make a movie.
It would be good for such a large company to come up with 100 million cash flow.
This is also the reason why all the big-budget movies with a budget of more than 100 million yuan are all jointly invested by dozens or even dozens of investment companies.
First, few companies can afford to produce a big movie on their own.
Second, the box office risk of the movie can be shared.
After dealing with this matter.
Yuan Xiong's expression became serious: "Amer, the company's order has come down, appointing me as the general manager of the new department." As for the name of the new department, I discussed it with Hao Mingxing and Su Xueyao, and I thought it was better to keep it simple and not to bring in personal factors, so it was set as: New Department. The new department is further divided into: composition department, singer department, actor department...... and several other basic departments. What do you think? β
"New Ministry?"
Wang Mo thought for a moment and nodded: "It's good." β
The name has no personal element, no personality cult, and is also clearly distinguishable from the rest of the company.
The simplest is the most practical.
Yuan Xiong said: "After the establishment of the new department, all the members of the Black Alliance will join in. At the same time, I will select 50 employees from the old department to build the foundation of the new department. But in the future, you and I need to dig out talents. β
"Okay."
Wang Mo agreed.
Digging talents, he is not worried at all.
For example, he has one of the most important tasks to do.
That is: the filming of "Kung Fu".
Thinking of this, Wang Meng said sincerely: "Brother Xiong, please go outside immediately to recruit a group of relevant personnel for film production, I am going to start filming "Kung Fu" in a few days, and I will use the resources and staff of the new department to complete this movie independently, which is the first test for the new department." β
"Oh? Start filming "Kung Fu"? β
Yuan Xiong paused, "Your script has already been written?" β
"Hmm."
Wang Mo nodded and handed over the script of "Kung Fu".
Yuan Xiong immediately took it, and his curiosity was bursting.
He really wanted to know for the first time what kind of "Kung Fu" script Wang Mo had written, so that the other party was willing to give up a script like "Jingwu Hero".
Just glanced at the movie genre, Yuan Xiong was stunned: "Comedy? β
Half an hour later.
Wang Mo's office.
Chen Jia and Chai Qing also exclaimed: "Comedy? β
At this moment, the two of them were holding the script of "Kung Fu" in their hands, and their eyes were almost falling.
Since they knew that Wang Mo's second movie was also a kung fu movie, they had almost guessed the content of the new movie countless times in their hearts. But they never dreamed that the new movie would actually be a comedy.
Chai Qing swallowed his saliva, and his face was full of doubts: "Mr. Wang, will kung fu movies be made into comedies, will this work?" β
Kung fu movies are a hot-blooded, serious, and dignified movie genre.
The reason why "Jingwu Hero" can become a textbook of kung fu movies is because it shows the essence of kung fu, shows the heroic righteousness of Chinese kung fu, and mobilizes the enthusiasm in the hearts of fans.
Turn a kung fu movie into a comedy?
Isn't it a kung fu game?
Kung fu is never used to be funny, it is the soul of Huaxia!
If you hear that kung fu is made into a comedy, as a big kung fu country, I'm afraid those practitioners will be the first to disagree.
Chen Jia also hurriedly said: "Mr. Wang, please think twice." β
"Hey!"
Wang Mo waved his hand and said with a smile: "Comedy is not necessarily to belittle kung fu, you can read the script first." β
"Good...... Target. β
Chai Qing and Chen Jia glanced at each other, and had to look down patiently.
The script is not long.
Even if both of them read every word seriously, it would only take more than an hour to read it.
After reading it, Chen Jia's expression was a little dazed.
Chai Qing also had countless doubts in his heart.
Because from their professional point of view, this script ...... Well, how to put it, it's really a bit offbeat.
At least they've never seen such a quirky script before.
Exaggeration?
Peculiar?
How to put it, it's the feeling that they can't even scratch their heads.
Pick up a bullet with one hand?
Can you fly in the sky after chasing people?
Can the Huoyun Evil God trample on half a restaurant with one foot?
Can the guzheng turn into an invisible sound wave attack?
And the palm technique that fell from the sky?
What the hell is this?!
Is this still a kung fu movie?
Even normal movies aren't filmed like this, right?
What do you think about cultivating immortals?
I don't understand.
I really don't understand.
Wang Mo nodded secretly, and the reactions of the two were all expected by him.
Because according to his investigation, Blue Star has never appeared in a nonsensical comedy movie. So when they suddenly saw a nonsensical movie script like "Kung Fu", it was strange that the two were not confused.
Especially Chai Qing, after filming "Jingwu Heroes", he is now a first-line director in China.
If someone else gave him such a script, he would probably leave immediately.
What the hell!
What's the trouble?!
But now, he's just blank.
Wang Mo smiled slightly: "How?" β
Chen Jia said simply: "I don't understand." β
Chai Qing also followed: "Well, I don't understand." β
But immediately he added: "But I can be a director, as long as I have Brother Mo's guidance, it shouldn't be a big problem to shoot such a movie." β
Anyway, he was also a tool man in the last movie, so Chai Qing didn't worry about shooting at all.
Although he can't understand the movie, his admiration for Wang Mo makes him understand a truth in his heart: follow Wang Mo, yes.
As for this script so peculiar?
It must be that he was too stupid to understand.
Scold!
This sycophant.
It's so damn that it's one step ahead of himself.
Chen Jia glanced at Chai Qing dissatisfied, and hurriedly followed: "I can also be a producer and ensure that the task is completed." β
"Okay!"
Wang Mo smiled and agreed.
He doesn't care at all who the director of "Kung Fu" is.
Because he knows in his heart that no director in today's Huaxia is expected to be able to direct "Kung Fu", so when the time comes to shoot the movie, he is estimated to be in control of the overall situation behind the scenes.
Of course, it is definitely not possible to let him direct it himself.
He's just a good guy on paper.
In practice, it has to be handed over to Chai Qing.
After determining the positions of the two, Chen Jia immediately left to do what a producer should do.
For example: crew preparation, investment calculation, financial management...... Wait a minute.
As for Chai Qing, he immediately began to select actors.
Wang Mo knows in his heart: actors are the decisive factor in determining the success of "Kung Fu".
Because in Xing Ye's movies, any supporting actor cannot be ignored and is an indispensable part of the movie.
Even if it's a dog.
Even if it's a cockroach.
Thinking of this, Wang Mo said to Chai Qing: "When selecting actors, I only have one requirement, all actors, even if they are any inconsequential actors, must be old actors. I don't need the other party to be well-known, I don't need the other party to be famous, as long as the other party can fit the role, even if the other party is a group performer, it doesn't matter. Especially the leading actors, you must find the right feeling. If you don't have the feeling I told you, even if the other party is an actor, it won't work. At last...... After finding an actor, whether it is the main role or the supporting role, it must be confirmed by me. β
"Okay."
This Chai Qing understands.
After all, when "Jingwu Heroes" was casting, this was how it came.
Looking at the main and supporting roles of Jingwu heroes, almost all of them are unknown actors. Didn't it also create a box office myth of nearly three billion in the end?
So Chai Qing is very familiar.
However, although Chai Qing was full of confidence, Wang Mo was full of worry.
He doesn't worry about the selection of other supporting roles.
What he is most worried about is the protagonist: Who can be qualified for the role of Xingye?
One actor a year, a hundred years of Zhou Xingchi.
That's a one-of-a-kind star.
It can be said that in any movie in which the star master plays the leading role, as long as someone else plays it, even if the other party is an actor, he will not be able to play the feeling of the star master.
Do you see what happened to Xing Ye after he was not the protagonist, what was the embarrassment of "Mermaid"?
In fact, the script is still the same script.
The funny point is still the same content.
But Deng copied and filmed it, which made people suffer from embarrassing cancer.
Because of nonsensical comedy, only Xing Ye can be competent.
So Wang Mo is very worried in his heart, if he can't find an actor like Xing Ye, I'm afraid that the effect of "Kung Fu" will be greatly reduced.
Wish...... Luck can favor him, right?
Wang Mo prayed silently.
If it really doesn't work, then maybe you can only find a special way.
That's it.
Half a month later, Wang Mo received a call from Chai Qing.
On the phone, Chai Qingdao said: "Mr. Wang, I found five artists who are more suitable for the starring style, when do you think it is appropriate?" I let them come over and audition? β
"Now it's done."
After Wang Mo hung up the phone, he had some expectations and apprehensions in his heart.
Wish...... The person Chai Qing is looking for can meet his requirements. (End of chapter)
