232 July fire, in the suburbs at night......

He Fang decided to take out "Ready Player One" for Feng Xiaogang to shoot, and while the original author has not yet written it, he can make trouble at will.

Why didn't He Fang make this movie himself and give it to others?

It's a pity, it's not a pity at all, because this is a game movie, and there's nothing to be sorry for.

And if you really want to shoot, you have to buy a lot of game character portrait use rights, the cost is expensive, and the sequel is not easy to shoot.

Why isn't there a sequel to Another Plane? It's because the card was given the right to use the game's portrait to death, which caused the producer to calculate the cost too high and the profit was too thin, so the sequel was abandoned.

It's the same now, who took out the script and asked Huayi to pay for it, anyway, it wasn't He Fang's money that was spent, it didn't matter.

It is to make them feel that the sound is very loud, and the money is not one or two, but it can pull up the stock price, and this feeling of not being able to say anything will make He Fang feel that it should be good.

You have to let them not make money from the movie, anyway, if the stock rises, you can also make money by reducing your holdings, how can you make money on both sides, such a beautiful thing can't be enjoyed by Huayi all the time.

"Director He, I'm not good at this story you said." Feng Xiaogang hesitated after listening to He Fang finish telling the story.

He Fang took out a cigarette and handed it to Feng Xiaogang, "No matter what kind of science fiction film you haven't filmed, you're not good at it." Besides, who is particularly good at a certain genre? It's all learned step by step from a layman, and besides, with my team, what are you afraid of, you will definitely not make a bad movie. ”

He Fang encouraged.

"Hey, ......" Feng Xiaogang smoked a cigarette and nodded, but he was moved but hesitated, and he couldn't do it.

What makes sense, what is he particularly good at? If you do it, you will learn it, and in the future, you will learn the skills of shooting special effects blockbusters with one hand, which is another big weapon for yourself.

"Director Feng, the current special effects blockbuster is so profitable, and the big and small kings are not impressed? Aren't they excited about Wu Ershan's "Painted Skin 2"? Don't you also train new directors. If you haven't been able to shoot this genre, do you think they will be so good to you in the future? Although it is not like Zhang Weiping to Zhang Yimou, it will not be particularly harmonious. ”

He Fang's words made Feng Xiaogang's eyes condense, he is not a fool, of course he will not be provoked by He Fang, but how to crack it when people are telling the truth?

Capital is profit-seeking, if he, Feng Xiaogang, can't give the big and small Wang total profits, they will definitely think of other ways.

So, to put it bluntly, the temptation to make a blockbuster movie and make a lot of money is too great, not only for the director, but also for the production company.

Blockbusters are always the most concerned by the public, and as soon as the project information of the production company comes out, investors from all parties will flock to it, not to mention the star artists in the circle, as well as the attention and support from above......

In short, this is not a simple matter of making a blockbuster, but a matter involving more interests, which is very exciting.

Therefore, if more and more domestic directors can make special effects blockbusters, he Feng Xiaogang can't, and capital will abandon him, the most obvious thing is that the big and small kings summarize Wu Ershan's attitude is very good.

He can't afford to gamble, so he also wants to make special effects blockbusters in his heart.

He Fang saw that Feng Xiaogang was still hesitating, and finally added another yard.

"Director Feng, now the domestic special effects blockbuster market has not yet fully risen, as long as it is a blockbuster, as long as the story is not very bad, it will be sought after, so shoot now, even if it is a little flawed, the market can still hold you up."

"I'm afraid that after a few years, more and more special effects blockbusters will be made, and the market will become more and more picky about such blockbusters, so if the technology has not been mastered, the greater the risk of coming in."

He said faintly, just like an old witch, first give a candy and then scare and scare, such a trick, see if you are impressed?

The point is that what is said is the truth, and there is no villain behavior, which is the most deadly.

"Then, why don't you shoot it? Speaking of which, this is more suitable for young people like you. Feng Xiaogang asked.

"It's not that I don't shoot, it's not that you want to make special effects sci-fi blockbusters, if you don't shoot, I'll shoot it. As for why I'm letting it out, it's because if I'm going to shoot it, it's going to be two or three years later. Do you know how many of the blockbusters in my hands are queuing up right now? ”

"I'm going to make a "Mermaid" in September, I'm going to make a movie about aliens at the end of the year, I bought the copyright of the island comics in cooperation with Warners, and next year I will make a new film of Fox's "X-Men", and then there will be a movie adapted from the island comics...... I won't talk about the rest of it, so this story will be ranked two or three years later according to my order. ”

"Of course, if you don't have a good grasp of this story, then I'll think about it later, and think of a story that is more suitable for you?"

He Fang's words made Feng Xiaogang chuckle in his heart, and he understood what He Fang meant.

That is, I specially shoot a story for you, and you still pick and choose, forget it if you don't shoot, and talk about it later. Of course, here is a later that is no more.

"Ha, let Director He smile, mainly because I haven't done it before, I want to do it, but when it's time to do it, I'm weak and timid again." Feng Xiaogang said embarrassedly.

"Ha, I understand, I have this state of mind, especially when I went to ask my sister to sleep for the first time."

"Poof, haha...... What Director He said is in place. ”

"Hey...... Men know it. ”

"Okay, Director He, then I thank you for giving up the story, and then lend your team, I'm welcome."

"You're welcome? I also hope that there will be more blockbusters in China, but in fact, the utilization rate of Huying's industrial base is not high, and I always rely on me to make special effects films alone, and I don't know how long it will take to return to the capital. This industrial base was built at my suggestion, and I also have a stake, so I am more anxious than anyone else to return to its original cost and make money. ”

Feng Xiaogang suddenly realized, so it sees, no wonder he is willing to let the script and logic close the loop.

"Understood, understood. Director He is a person who does great things, and he admires and admires him. ”

"What to do big, alas, it's hard to explain in one word......"

Then the two bragged.

It's not easy, who is the first temptation along the way, then the analysis and creation of a sense of crisis, then the threat, then the bitter talk, and finally the showdown.

With a special set of combination punches, it was not easy to take down Feng Xiaogang.

It's just that Tong Weidong, who was driving, shook his head silently in his heart, this boss is too clever, who can stand this? As long as he is targeted, it will have to convince you and say thank you at the end.

He saw Zhang Yimou, Alima, Feng Xiaogang and other famous people who were all obedient to what He Fang said.

……

At the thank-you reception, everyone came to congratulate him, and praised how well the movie was made, and even Han Sanping admired it.

"Director He, we all know that there are many precious stories hidden in our traditional culture, but they can't be developed, and there are not many stories like you that have not been adapted from the original work and conform to the modern style."

As soon as Han Sanping said this, the bigwigs around him echoed it and listed many unsuccessful adaptations.

Now if you want to say that the most successful adaptations of traditional literary stories are "A Chinese Ghost Story" and "Painted Skin", the "The Legend of the White Snake" series is not very successful, such as Tsui Hark's "Green Snake" is a loss, and Cheng Xiaodong's "The Legend of the White Snake" is also a loss.

Other movies such as the "Journey to the West" series have only one "Journey to the West", but it is a loss. Others don't dare to shoot it, it's too classic for fear that it won't be good.

Now He Fang has appeared with the first movie of the "Journey to the West" series that is not really a crooked biography, and the effect is still so good, which has to make people excited.

If you find a way to adapt traditional stories, then there are many such stories in China, and there are hundreds of times in "Journey to the West" alone, and at least dozens of stories can be filmed.

In addition to "Journey to the West", there are many stories that can be developed, such as "Liao Zhai", "Classic of Mountains and Seas", "Sou Shen Ji", "Fengshen List", etc., and now there are still popular fantasy of cultivating immortals, and many of them are very good-looking, and they are all materials.

If this series is developed, it will become a unique genre and style that belongs to China, just like Hollywood superheroes.

Han Dong praised it falsely, in fact, this kind of story adaptation is difficult, in fact, as long as you grasp the core elements, it is not necessarily that difficult. I'll take "Painted Skin" and "A Chinese Ghost Story" as examples, the adaptations of these two movies have done one thing, that is, to grasp the original core of the story, and then make this core stronger. ”

"What is the core of "Painted Skin" and "A Chinese Ghost Story"? Love. Of course, everyone knows that they are about love, but some people talk about it well, and some people talk about it badly. The fundamental reason is that some people can't grasp the core of love. Only love that has gone through thousands of trials is moving and touching. ”

"But some people's adaptations have lost the core of the original work, and instead talked about other things, and it's okay to talk about other things, as long as you tell it well, everyone will recognize it. But some people just want to keep the core of the original work and want to talk about their own affairs, isn't this a conflict, and in terms of character portrayal, don't say whether it is as beautiful as the original book depicted, some actors perform zombie faces, and directly let the audience play, and then the audience will not buy it. This example ...... Everyone knows which drama it is. ”

"There are also people who have adapted the core to catch it, but the plot is not exciting enough, and the characters are not vivid enough. The love filmed by someone feels like a playhouse, and it is not sincere or touching at all. ”

"Of course, this is just my personal analysis, not necessarily correct, you can explore it. Personally, I think there is a lot of potential for developing traditional cultural stories here, and you can focus on developing them. ”

He Fang briefly talked to everyone about how to change the classic story, but he didn't hide his secrets, and shared any experience.

"Director He is still talented, and he can grasp the core of the problem in three or two sentences."

"Yes, maybe with Director He's analysis, everyone will develop traditional cultural stories better and better."

……

In the face of everyone's praise, He Fang just smiled, people are in this position like this, you must not only withstand the storm but also withstand the praise.

Don't fall in the face of the storm but fall in the sweet words, there are too many such examples, the most likely cases are in the officialdom, some people are really good at doing things as officials, and they govern one side very well, but in the face of flattery, sloppy slaps, money and beauty are not so resistant.

The thank-you reception ended in a peaceful and welcoming atmosphere, among which there was a dazzling light centered on Hefang, as well as the brilliance of the major bosses, and the talent of several directors was displayed, and there were many beautiful and handsome star actors, this is a Vanity Fair is also a circle, everyone grabs a handful of resources that can make money, and then tries to see how to combine them to realize it.

The stars are desperately rushing up, hoping to be brought by them, so that they can have more stars and eat the corresponding benefits.

He Fang, who had been holding back in the United States for two months, quietly met with Liu Yan that night, and was so excited that he wanted to indulge himself, but he couldn't find a partner.

How can he have time to care about her, a little girl, Liu Yan is dripping with ripeness, walking and shaking, a smile and a cheek seem to be swaying something to He Fang.

So, in the season of July fire, the ripe peaches are accompanied by the night breeze, the bright moonlight, and the excited dancing willows in the distance, and the battle in the field is tense and exciting.

Liu Yan has collapsed several times, and she is really a little too excited.

Fortunately, He Fang's steel man can support her weak waist that will be broken, and the basic plate is to be strong to be stable, even if it is a pile of adobe bricks and rotten tiles, as long as there is a thick steel bar underneath, it will only shake and not fall.

"Whew...... You're done with this girl, when will it be my turn? Yoo Yan asked.

He Fang glanced at Liu Yan unexpectedly, she almost didn't take the initiative to ask for resources before, it seems that she is not in a hurry, but she has not said anything.

"Next year's "X-Men" lacks a role, do you think it? Although she is the third female supporting actress, she is also an international blockbuster. ”

"Really?"

"What are you lying to?"

"Then, do you want more?"

"Are you okay?"

"If you can't do it, you have to do it!"

Since Liu Yan said that she can't do it, what else is there to say? With such a good season and such a good night view, wouldn't it be a pity to be unhappy?
