Chapter 432: Preparations
"Commercial films?"
"Superheroes?"
"Xianyu really likes to mix in any movie, I thought he was going to continue to make comedies, he turned his head to shoot suspense dramas, I thought he would continue to play extreme reversal, but he made a feature film......"
"Maybe he likes to challenge himself?"
"I didn't expect Xianyu to simply make a commercial film this time, probably because he wanted to pursue a higher box office, although the themes he had filmed before were good at the box office, it was too difficult and difficult to go further. ”
“......”
Lao Zhou took the script of "Spider-Man" to the film department, and everyone immediately started a discussion after reading the script in the form of a meeting, and in general, the atmosphere was not bad, because of the successive successes of Xianyu, the film department was very confident in Xianyu.
"Then again. ”
The senior executive on Lao Zhou's right hand said with a smile: "Xianyu's movies actually have certain commercial attributes, even "Loyal Dog Hachiko" is not an orthodox literary film, but he took a relatively pure commercial film route this time, which made everyone feel a little surprised." ”
"Back to the movie itself. ”
Lao Zhou knocked on the table: "I think it's funny, the rhythm of this movie is very good, and the rescue and persistence of ordinary people near the end are also very moving, and the characters also have an origin growth line, which is something that many superhero movies will ignore." ”
"After all, it's an envy fish. ”
The senior executives in the back row smiled: "Actually, I don't agree with the statement that "Spider-Man" is a purely commercial film, even if Xianyu is making a commercial film, he will not completely give up some profound things, this line in the movie still touches me very much, 'The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility', this is actually something that other superhero movies do not mention." ”
"It's the ...... of investment"
"I'm afraid it will break 100 million ......"
"There are a few superhero movies that have an investment of less than 100 million, and if you want to do a good job of special effects, you have to burn money, I think investing more than 100 million is the basis for the success of the movie, if the picture of the superhero is not exciting, then the plot is good and useless. ”
“......”
Investing more than 100 million yuan is actually very common in the Blue Star Film Market, which is why everyone will be so shocked by the success of Xianyu's movies in the past, why does this person only use tens of millions of costs to leverage the box office market of one billion or even two billion every time?
Is it so easy to be small and big?
And this time, Xianyu finally didn't play anything simple to be small and big, this is the normal treatment of movie shooting, if even superhero movies still play tens of millions of investments, everyone should definitely question and continue to question, even if Xianyu has succeeded several times.
"But you have to be steady. ”
Someone said: "The cost is done according to the scale of 100 million, and if it is more, there is a risk, the characteristics of superhero movies are too distinct, and the box office can be as high as billions, and you can't even splash when you pounce." ”
Everyone nodded.
After this meeting, many things were agreed, and "Spider-Man" soon entered the project mode, and Lao Zhou found Lin Yuan with the results of the meeting and briefly explained the situation.
......
Lin Yuan now has a deep understanding of movies, and when he learned that the investment in "Spider-Man" was about 100 million, he felt that it was more appropriate, although this investment still belonged to a relatively low batch in superhero movies.
But it's not without disagreements.
When Lao Zhou learned that Lin Yuan was going to use a newcomer to play Spider-Man, he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed: "There are young and famous actors in the company, why do you want to use a prospective graduate of the acting department?"
"Easy is my buddy. ”
Lin Yuan replied in a natural tone.
Lao Zhou was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then smiled bitterly, this was really Lin Yuan's answer, so he could only sigh and said: "That supporting cast has to work hard, and your friend has to sign Xingmang." ”
"Hmm. ”
Lin Yuan has no opinion.
Xingmang can't help other companies for nothing, a movie with an investment of 100 million, the actor can't say it without his own family, and Jian Jian will definitely not refuse to join Xingmang.
"The contract should be better. ”
Lin Yuan helped his friends fight for welfare.
Lao Zhou nodded: "I'll look at this, since you say it's your good buddy, the artist department will definitely be relaxed, the director and producer, etc., do you still use your previous team?"
"Hmm. ”
The crew of the screenwriter's core system, Lin Yuan is the soul of the movie, and even Lin Yuan is more extreme than the core screenwriters of other crews, he even designed the shots in the movie in advance, which are all incidental projects after the system provides the script, plus Lin Yuan's exquisite painting, he can directly restore any picture he needs, and even the verbal explanations are omitted innumerable, Yi Chenggong, the director, may not have any pioneering thinking, and he can't give Lin Yuan creative help, but the kung fu of drawing the scoop is not bad.
In a sense.
Lin Yuan is a director and screenwriter.
Yi Chenggong has cooperated with Lin Yuan so many times, and he has also figured out Lin Yuan's model, he is the executor of Lin Yuan's intentions, unless there is really any particularly subtle idea in his mind, otherwise he will not have any creative conflict with Lin Yuan.
Farewell to Lao Zhou.
Lin Yuan made a simple call: "The new movie is confirmed, you are the leading actor, this is a superhero movie, I will send you the script now, you study it yourself first, and you need to come to me and sign an artist contract with Xingmang." ”
"Huh?"
Jian Jian on the other end of the phone was obviously stunned: "I must have no opinion on entering the stars, but didn't you say last night that you haven't thought about what the new movie will shoot yet, why is there a script today?"
"Inspiration came. ”
"You're so sassy. ”
Jian didn't say anything thankful.
His relationship with Lin Yuan and Xia Fan has been closely linked since childhood, and it will only seem hypocritical to talk too much at this time, doesn't he want to play this male lead?
Dream it!
It's just that he won't use this emotion to coerce Lin Yuan to make this kind of decision, and now that Lin Yuan has fed the food to his mouth, he will live up to Lin Yuan if he says anything more, and the best reward is that he has to shoot well and cherish the opportunity that Lin Yuan provides him.
"First of all. ”
Lin Yuan hung up the phone.
Turning on the computer, Lin Yuan began to look up some popular superhero movies on the Internet, this is the homework he must do, always see how people shoot it, it is best to summarize something.
————————
ps: There are too many Marvel movies, you don't have to worry about the plot going directly to the Marvel line, the attributes of orthodox superheroes are too similar, they are basically carved out of a template, and the protagonist can't be filmed, if you want to shoot in the future, you will have to shoot the most special character, and it may even be the story of a certain villain, I believe you have already guessed who it is.
