Chapter 3164 ginger is old and spicy
After signing the contract with John Woo, Lin Feng held a press conference to announce the blockbuster news.
Not surprisingly, when Lin Feng announced that filming would officially start, and invited John Woo to be the director, Yuen Woo-Ping to be the action director, and would hire the director of the original film to be the on-set director, and promised to invite all the characters from the original film to star, the whole world went crazy.
For domestic movie fans and players, it has always been a dream. This is a movie that is impossible to start filming, but I didn’t expect that Lin Feng would actually start filming. And the lineup is so strong, with a guaranteed minimum of 10 episodes, and a total investment of 1 billion US dollars.
We also invited the most famous Chinese director John Woo, and also invited Yuen Woo-Ping, and at the same time we invited those Hollywood gold medal directors to provide on-site guidance, and the original cast members of the original film played supporting roles. This is so damn crazy.
But everyone, it’s very exciting! It’s very exciting! It’s very exciting! Especially for those game players, they are extremely happy. Originally, I didn’t know when this game would be released. No one knew. Everyone could only
Keep waiting. Although it is said that it will be released for public testing next year, it is normal for such a huge game to be delayed in the event of a delay. Many players are already psychologically prepared for the possibility of a delay. However, if you are prepared, you are prepared, but this
But my heart is tangled.
Now that filming has started, there is no doubt that it can alleviate their inner anxiety. Of course, there is still a lot of time before filming. However, we can take a look first. Whether Lin Feng stars or not, it is a movie worth watching.
The most popular martial arts TV series I watched. Of course, it is also the most worth complaining about.
Who is better, Qiao Feng or Hong Qigong? Here, the two have fought several times, with each winning or losing. But in the eyes of many martial arts fans, they don’t think so. Some think Qiao Feng should be
Killing Hong Qigong instantly, some people think that Hong Qigong has rich experience, possesses the dog-beating stick technique, and has deep internal strength, so he should be better than Qiao Feng. That's not all. There are also Chen Jialuo and Chen Jinnan. These two people belong to the Red Flower Club and the world.
Yes. Who do you think will be more powerful? They are all heroes, so who will be more powerful?
There are so many and so many that it is impossible to directly judge the outcome, which makes all fans quarrel. It can be said that it has become the first most controversial martial arts TV series in history. As an appetizer before the TV series is released, obviously
good.
For foreign movie fans, although this movie is very unfamiliar and it is directed by a Chinese, it has also aroused their interest and strong interest. It is very simple. There will be many original cast members of the original movies in it. These movies have been popular in the past.
They are all familiar. They are all classics. And most of them are horror films or thrillers, and there are always all kinds of regrets in them. Through this film, we can change those regrettable endings, which is undoubtedly very exciting.
So, even before filming started, it was already a hit.
Of course, what makes it even more popular is the selection of several actors. There is no need to discuss those actors in the scenes. They are all the original cast of the original movie. What about the protagonists in the novel. Zheng Zha, Zhang Heng, Chu Xuan
Wait, who will play these people? Naturally, the roles of these people have begun to become a discussion among movie fans. Intense discussions have begun throughout China.
"Boss, this actor is indeed a very troublesome candidate. Both his acting skills and appearance must be matched appropriately." After receiving the script and reading it in detail, John Woo began to have his first headache.
When John Woo saw this script, he immediately understood that it was a Hollywood blockbuster-style script. It did not have any requirements for the plot. All it required were various stunts, various hot scenes, and of course handsome guys and beauties. But in between
There is one thing, that is, if you want this movie to be successful, the actors must have the right appearance and superb acting skills. For example, John Woo once filmed it. The plot is actually very simple. The police arranged for an undercover agent to undergo plastic surgery and transform into a terrorist to go to prison.
to find out the location of the gas bomb. But unexpectedly, the terrorist escaped after being plastic surgery to look like him. Then the identities of the two parties were exchanged. The police wanted to find their identities and protect the safety of their families. The terrorists
, but wanted to kill the police so that he could become a policeman.
The plot is not complicated, it is very simple, and the test is all about acting skills. But because of the outstanding acting skills of the two main protagonists, Nicolas Cage and John Travolta, they became the North American box office champion that year. This also allowed John Woo to truly gain a foothold in Hollywood.
.
In the same way, if this movie only wants to be a success with dazzling stunts and hot scenes, it will be impossible. Without acting skills, no matter how dazzling the special effects are, it will only make the movie a viewing film, and it will not be able to obtain
Approval from movie fans.
Therefore, actors are very important. But looking at the description of the character in his hand, John Woo had a headache.
"Haha, well, Director Wu, don't be in a hurry, let's take our time. Anyway, there are fans discussing it, so let's just sit back and enjoy the results!" Lin Feng chuckled.
John Woo thought for a while and nodded. Of course, it won't work if it depends entirely on the fans. He will still open auditions to see if there are any newcomers. Of course, newcomers are not just required to have similar appearance, but more importantly, acting skills. They must have acting skills.
, he does not require acting skills like Nicolas Cage, but at least he cannot make the audience feel that his performance is not as good as his own.
After John Woo started the audition mode, Lin Feng was not idle. He went to Los Angeles again. During this time, Lin Feng had nothing to worry about in terms of his main business. Paul Allen and Erika Kazama were in charge.
Lin Feng is more relaxed than before. Erika Kazama has a better truth-telling ability than Wu Zhaopu, and she used to work in the public relations department and is very good at dealing with interpersonal relationships. In less than a month, she has become the second
The world has gained a firm foothold, and has established a set of interpersonal networks that she only knows from top to bottom. To put it mildly, it enhances the cohesion of the company. At worst, it means surveillance.
Lin Feng was not dissatisfied with this. As the company expanded, all kinds of commercial spies swarmed in. He also needed this surveillance system. Although there was surveillance by the 'Spike', it was external after all, far away.
There is no internal reliability or privacy.
Paul Allen has fully demonstrated his terrifying talent as a mathematical genius and investment genius. After these years of silence, Paul Allen has successfully persuaded several software companies to become the
Pangu Systems developed exclusive software. At the same time, Paul Allen also began to organize the company's internal software engineers to write a series of practical software for consumers. Lin Feng can predict that as long as the company is given time, Paul Allen will definitely
It will create a surprise.
Of course, Paul Allen has always had a plan that he wanted to realize, and he also approached him. But that plan was a bit crazy. Lin Feng is still hesitating. Therefore, he did not agree. After this period of time, he really wants to
Think about it carefully. Although this plan is crazy and may not be profitable, if there is any surprise, the harvest will be far greater than anything else. Even compared to the 'Wanta Project'
Lots and lots of big ones.
The thought changed and Lin Feng had already arrived in Los Angeles. Naturally, when Lin Feng came to Los Angeles, he met two Hollywood gold medal directors, James Cameron and Steven Spielberg. For other directors, such as Paul Anderson, Lin Feng could
One phone call to solve it. Although these two great masters are directors contracted by their own company, they are too famous, and they were somewhat kind to Lin Feng at the beginning. After all, when they were filming, they were not as successful as they are now. Steven-
Spielberg was willing to accept the filming, which really gave him face. As for James Cameron, let alone talk about it. When he and Oscar fell out, the great master gave him face and stood firmly on his side.
, join your own company.
As for this friendship, if I don’t say much, it would be unjustifiable if Lin Feng didn’t come in person.
"Lin, are you really ready to shoot?" Spielberg asked.
Lin Feng nodded.
"This is a huge production. If I hadn't been planning it, I would have been interested." James Cameron sighed.
"Haha, James, isn't there a story about Team America? I can film it for you then." Lin Feng said with a smile.
Although it was originally promised to John Woo that he could shoot versions of other teams, there are so many teams here, and John Woo might not be able to shoot them all by himself in his lifetime. It would be okay to give one to Cameron to shoot.
"Then I want one too." Spielberg smiled.
"Haha, that's easy. There are two American teams, one for East America and one for West America. Each of them can shoot one." Lin Feng chuckled.
The two gold medal directors looked at each other and smiled. The reason why they were interested was because of the diversity of the plot. They also wanted to relive the movies they had shot before, so filming allowed them to enjoy the process.
As for the script, Lin Feng wrote it and they revised it. The two gold medal directors absolutely believed in Lin Feng's screenwriting ability.
"When the filming comes, I hope you two can give me more guidance. After all, many scenes are in movies under your name." Lin Fengxiao said.
The two nodded. Of course, this goes without saying. Since they were interested in filming, they naturally had to go to the scene to provide guidance and learn from the experience. After all, they had never shot such a complicated movie before.
"Then it's settled. As for the original actors, I think I can only hope that the two of them will come forward more often." Lin Feng asked.
When I came to Los Angeles this time, the most important thing was to ask the two of them to come forward and help me find the original cast members. Otherwise, it would be too difficult to do it on my own.
"Well, that's easy to say. As long as they don't have a movie date and we come forward, they still have to give some face. But if they have a movie date, you need to talk about it. Of course, we can talk about it, but you have to
That's more money," Cameron said.
"That's no problem. As long as I can star in it, I'm willing to spend any amount of money." Lin Feng nodded.
Lin Feng still doesn't care about this little money. As long as he can start shooting, that's fine.
"But Lin, how do you plan to recover the cost? I read it and you decided to invest 100 million US dollars per episode, not counting the actors' remuneration. Have you thought about how to recover the cost? Although you have money, you can't do this.
Flowers," Spielberg said.
If Spielberg and Lin Feng are not familiar with each other and the relationship is just between the director and the production company, then Spielberg will not bother to care about it. The more money you have, the better, but as a friend, Spielberg has the responsibility to remind Lin Feng
.
"Well, I'm also thinking about this issue. You can sell the copyright for TV series, but it is estimated that the maximum cost per episode is only 10 million yuan. Compared with the investment cost, the difference is too big. Then you can sell the online copyright, and you can make a little more. Also.
You can add sponsors at the end of the film and other places, which can also recover some costs. It is estimated that I can recover the cost of about 50 million yuan at most for one episode. Of course, if it is sold abroad and the ratings are high, I think it should be able to reach 1
Collect about 20 million U.S. dollars!" Lin Feng said.
The revenue of an episode of 20 million U.S. dollars is already very high. You know, the average cost of a TV series in the United States is 5 million U.S. dollars. Being able to earn 20 million U.S. dollars is already very profitable. But compared to 100 million U.S. dollars for this episode
The investment of US dollars is a bit crazy. It is far from insolvent.
"So, I think, if you are in China, you can sell TV series. But overseas, you should not sell TV series." Spielberg said.
"Well, that's right. If you are abroad, it will be released in theaters. Three episodes will be broadcast in a row. That adds up to 135 minutes." Cameron said.
Lin Feng nodded. Indeed, it is a bit inappropriate for you to show a movie in China. After all, you are filming it as a TV series. It is also to meet Run Run Shaw's conditions. But abroad, if you want to show it as a TV series, you will be at a loss.
Big.
"Also, since you invest so much and have so many scenes in each episode, I think you can make these scenes permanent. In other words, they can be rented out to other crews for filming in the future and used as a tourist attraction.
I think if you build such a large movie base near Hollywood, it almost becomes a city, and these attractions are enough to become a gimmick to attract people," Cameron said.
"Well, in many of the movies we shoot, the scenes are very simple and rely solely on acquired CG technology. But you can make the scenes into real scenes, which can largely save part of the production cost of CG technology. In this way, maybe
It can save some costs!" Spielberg said.
Lin Feng suddenly realized. Sure enough, ginger is still hotter than ever!
Thank you!
