Chapter 3146 Casting for "Infinite Terror"

Five days is the most time that Lam Feng can spare at one time. After all, Lam Feng is not a professional actor, and this time he is just a guest star. Fortunately, thanks to Tsui Hark's high-efficiency shooting schedule, the filming took five days

Three episodes of scenes. Of course, this only refers to Lam Feng's three episodes. As for other people's scenes, they will continue to be filmed. But with Lam Feng's three episodes, it is enough for Tsui Hark to explain to the audience.

.

"Okay, Director Xu, I'm going back. To be honest, if you don't film, you don't know how hard it is to film. If possible, I don't want to film anymore." Lin Feng showed tired eyes and shook his head repeatedly.

Tsui Hark shrugged helplessly. Filming is naturally hard work, but the huge rewards brought by becoming famous are also the reason why many people desperately want to squeeze into the film and television industry. Of course, this is completely true for Lin Feng

It doesn't exist. Lin Feng doesn't care about the rewards of fame and fortune after becoming famous in this movie. After all, Lin Feng is famous and wealthy enough in his own right.

"By the way, Director Xu, tell me, if I want to make a movie, would it be better to use all newcomers or mature actors?" Lin Feng suddenly asked.

Tsui Hark thought for a while.

"Boss, this question depends on the actual situation and what kind of movie you want to make. If you use a newcomer, it means freshness. But the acting skills of the newcomers are really worrying. If the acting skills are not up to standard, how fresh will it be?

On the contrary, it becomes a flaw. As for mature actors, their acting skills are excellent, and secondly, they have enough fans, which makes the audience have high expectations. However, they are less fresh in terms of freshness, especially many actors have already been stereotyped, allowing them to go

They play roles that are not suitable for them. Even if their acting skills are passable, the audience will not recognize them." Tsui Hark made a helpless gesture, "Just like Anthony Wong, who started out playing villains. Now, although he also plays the role of a policeman,

The policeman he plays is still the kind of evil-spirited one. It is obviously impossible for him to play a policeman like Lee Soo-hyun. So, how to choose depends on the play."

Lin Feng nodded and thought about it in his mind.

"Director Xu, if you want to make a movie with action, depth, science fiction, fantasy, etc., do you have any recommendations?" Lin Feng asked.

Action, depth, science fiction, magic... Tsui Hark frowned, there are too many elements in this movie. In terms of action movies, he is naturally the first choice, of course. Yuan Heping can also do it. In terms of depth, then there is a bit of literature and art.

Fan, of course it is Wong Kar-Wai. In terms of the style of the lines, Wong Kar-wai's movies are very fanciful. Of course, there are also criticisms from the outside world that they do not speak human words. But regardless of whether they do not speak human words, the lines in Wong Kar-wai's movies are indeed very good.

Attractive.

As for science fiction, John Woo is the first choice in the Chinese-speaking circle. As for fantasy, whether it is in Hong Kong or mainland China, there are few themes involved, and there are no well-known directors. If I want to say it, John Woo is also good. As for Johnnie To and Wang Jing

Most of these directors are directors of fashion dramas and stories. Of course, Tsui Hark is talking about directors from Hong Kong. On the mainland, well-known directors include Zhang Yimou, who often produces large-scale productions, and Feng Xiaogang, the king of Lunar New Year films. But just

From Tsui Hark's point of view, according to Lin Feng's requirements, these two great directors are not particularly good at it.

But these directors all make movies, and Lam Feng wants to make a movie. Are these directors willing? Just say Tsui Hark himself, he will not be willing to make a movie easily. Unless the movie is very good.

"By the way, boss, why is the play so complicated?" Tsui Hark asked curiously.

"A big drama adapted from an online novel that has been in planning but has not yet started filming - "Infinite Horror"." Lin Feng said in a deep voice.

"Infinite Horror"! Tsui Hark frowned. Tsui Hark had read this novel. After all, it was written by Lin Feng, and Jin Yong personally wrote the preface. When it was released, it caused a sensation in the Chinese-speaking circle. Lin Feng

Filming this novel, this... is a bit too much.

This "Infinite Horror" involves too many elements, including doomsday themes, science fiction themes, and horror themes. In short, there are all kinds of themes. It was very difficult to shoot. And the most important thing is that

, the scenes here are all scenes from well-known movies in the past, and according to the novel, the original crew must be invited to shoot. This is difficult!

You know, you are filming a TV series, and the original works are all movie actors. Whether it is international or domestic, there is an unwritten rule, that is, the value of movie actors is higher than that of TV drama actors. The status of movie actors is also

The same is true. If this is the case, it will be really difficult to invite the original actors to act. At least the funding will be a problem. Of course, Lin Feng is rich, but if the filming cost cannot be recovered, then it will not work.

You can't just try to make a TV series that doesn't make money.

This is not scientific!

"Well, I know it's difficult, but we must take pictures." After Lin Feng finished speaking, he left with deep contemplation.

Tsui Hark shrugged. This movie is not that easy to film. And if you really want to achieve the effect in the novel... Tsui Hark thought about it. I'm afraid he would have to build a movie city. Otherwise, it would be terrible.

It can't be filmed. After all, you have to reconstruct so many scenes. If you don't reconstruct this, it won't work. There are also various props. After all, Tsui Hark feels like fainting. Then the cost of each episode is too high.

Of course, it can be shot in movie mode, but the cost is still too high. Tsui Hark made a rough calculation in his mind. The investment to shoot this 2-hour movie would be at least more than 200 million US dollars, and at least one

The filming requires more than 5 episodes. This is an investment of 1 billion U.S. dollars. It is not a big problem for this movie to exceed 200 million U.S. dollars at the box office. But it is really difficult to guarantee whether it can exceed 200 million U.S. dollars. Of course, if the effect is good, overall

More than 1 billion US dollars is still feasible.

Of course, there is a premise for this, that is, the original cast members of the original movies should not have too high salary requirements. Many of the original protagonists in well-known movies are now worth a lot of money. They are all Hollywood A-list stars and are worth tens of millions of dollars.

This will increase the cost again. Of course, there is also copyright. Is there any copyright? There are also directors. How many directors with so many mixed elements can make a film? Dare to make it? Just like Chen Kaige, the director of "The Promise",

The film "The Promise" ruined both its reputation and popularity, and caused a lot of criticism.

With so many elements and such a complex movie, if you are not careful, your future will be ruined. Who dares to make it?

Xu Ke thought about it and was just stunned for a moment. He even forgot to ask how the problem between Lin Feng and Run Run Shaw was resolved.

"Director Xu, Director Xu, Director Xu!" The assistant next to him shouted when he saw that Tsui Hark had been silent for a long time and many actors were already ready.

"Ah...oh, it's coming, it's coming." Tsui Hark shook his head and stopped thinking about this tangled problem. This kind of problem should be left to Lin Feng to worry about. Anyway, he is currently filming this "Jin Yong"

"The Legend of Heroes" is already very satisfying to him. For the time being, he has no time to film other movies.

"Boss, please go slowly!" Aixinjueluo Qixing respectfully watched Lin Feng leave.

"Come on, too!" Lin Feng smiled slightly, waved, and set off to leave Dengfeng.

"Boss, look, you have charmed a little girl again. Hey, I see, sooner or later, you will be able to form a women's army. You will be the commander!" Lin Chiling said quietly.

When Lin Feng heard this, his tired eyes revealed a playful smile.

"Why, my Zhiling seems to be jealous!" Lin Feng chuckled.

"Humph, who is jealous? Such a yellow-haired girl, why should I be jealous of her!" Lin Chiling rolled her eyes at Lin Feng.

Lin Feng laughed.

"By the way. Boss, do you want to film "Infinite Horror"?" Lin Chiling couldn't stand Lin Feng's teasing eyes and quickly changed the subject.

"Well, it must be filmed. "Infinite Horror Online" will be released for public beta next year. Filming "Infinite Horror" can build momentum for it. And haven't we been preparing for a long time? It's time to film it." Lin Feng said slowly.

.

Lin Chiling didn't believe it.

"Boss, these are all correct, but I think there must be another reason." Lin Chiling looked at Lin Feng with curiosity. She had been with Lin Feng for a long time and had already figured out some of Lin Feng's temperament. This "

"Infinite Horror" has not been filmed by Lin Feng because of the actors, props, and scenes. The background of this film is too big and it is easy to mess up. Therefore, Lin Feng has been waiting for the best time. Now Lin Feng suddenly said that he would

Shooting, of course there is a problem.

Lin Feng smiled slightly and pinched Lin Chiling's chin.

"You are really a roundworm in my belly, you know everything!" Lin Feng chuckled, "This is a contract signed between me and Run Run Shaw, take a look."

The contract signed with Run Run Shaw? Lin Chiling looked curious. When she went to negotiate with Run Run Shaw, she did not go. It was Lin Feng and Li Zekai who went together. Lin Chiling did not know what happened between Lin Feng and Run Run Shaw.

What kind of sacrifices did both parties make before they can reconcile. Lin Chiling wanted to ask, but she also knew that if Lin Feng didn't want to say it, it was useless no matter how you asked. So Lin Chiling had been waiting for Lin Feng to say it himself

Now that Lin Feng has taken out this contract, what is the secret in this contract?

"What! Oh my god, how is this possible?" Lin Chiling read the contract carefully and exclaimed on the spot.

Li Rui and others were also shocked by Lin Chiling's voice. They didn't know what incredible thing the boss had done to make Lin Chiling so surprised. You know, Lin Chiling has been with Lin Feng for a long time, and she is used to seeing all kinds of strange things.

What's weird is that it's rare to hear Lin Chiling's high-pitched scream.

This also aroused the curiosity of Li Rui and others.

"Boss, you couldn't have signed the contract with Run Run Shaw at gunpoint!" Lin Chiling exclaimed repeatedly.

Lin Feng was speechless. Could he be so bad?

"Boss, if you hadn't held Run Run Shaw at gunpoint, how could he have sold you all the shares in TVB? This is so abnormal!" Lin Chiling shouted.

What! Run Run Shaw sold all the shares of TVB to Lin Feng! This time, even Li Rui and others were shocked. Could it be that the boss really held Run Run Shaw at gunpoint to sign this contract? Li Rui

Others couldn't help but think so. This is not to blame for their wild imagination, it is really unbelievable. Lin Feng went to Hong Kong this time because Run Run Shaw ordered that Hong Kong actors should not film Lin Feng's scenes within three months, so that Lin Feng could

In the past, logically speaking, even if the two sides were not on the same page, they would not be friends.

Now, my friends don’t know, but it’s amazing that Run Run Shaw actually sold the TVB he built to Lin Feng. This is even more science fiction than a science fiction movie. Li Rui and others looked at Lin Feng’s eyes, and they were stunned.

Full of weirdness, my boss is really a monster! If they weren't absolute atheists, they would really need to find a Maoshan Taoist priest to check to see if Lin Feng was transformed by a thousand-year-old fairy in the forest and could transform into magic.

"Haha, there's nothing to make a fuss about. Run Run Shaw wanted to find an heir, but none of his children were interested in the film and television industry, and he couldn't find a suitable successor, so he chose me, so he sold TVB to me.

It's that simple!" Lin Feng said with a smile.

Incredible! This is still unbelievable! Although I heard Lin Feng’s explanation, I still feel that this matter is really shocking. It feels like a fantasy.

"Okay, you don't need to make a fuss. In short, the matter is as simple as that, and there is no inside story. Also, Mr. Run Run Shaw and I have made an appointment about this matter, and it will not be announced to the public for the time being, so you must keep it secret too!"

Lin Feng warned.

Everyone nodded.

"So what does the filming of "Infinite Horror" have to do with this contract?" Lin Chiling asked.

"Because Run Run Shaw's Shaw Foundation still owns % of the shares, and Run Run Shaw put forward a condition. If I can make a movie with a box office of over 1 billion and a TV series with a ratings of over 50 points, I will use the last 6.23

% of the shares were sold to me. Mr. Run Run Shaw will be celebrating his 100th birthday on November 19 this year. He hopes to retire honorably after this day. Therefore, I hope to make a film that exceeds

A movie with a box office of 1 billion (referring to the Chinese box office), and a TV series with a ratings of over 50 points." Lin Feng said in a deep voice.

Lin Chiling suddenly realized.

"In terms of movies, I am still confident that it is not too difficult to reach a domestic box office of 1 billion. As long as the quality of the movie is good and the publicity is in place, it is not difficult to cross 1 billion. It is just a bit difficult for a TV series with a ratings of more than 50 points. Originally, it is a bit difficult.

"Jin Yong's Heroes" can meet the standard, but Run Run Shaw said it doesn't count and insists on making another one. Because that one has the advantage of the subject matter. After thinking about it, "Infinite Horror Online" will be released for public beta next year.

, filming his TV series now is undoubtedly the best choice. It can not only promote "Infinite Horror Online", but also meet Shaw's requirements." Lin Fengxiao said.

Lin Chiling nodded. If it can really be filmed, it will definitely be a win-win situation. But I am afraid that the effect will not satisfy the audience, which would be terrible...)
