Chapter 2330 Journey to the West
Yuanfang naturally has the confidence to say this now. He is the CEO of one of the eight major Hollywood film and television companies. Although the current financial situation of Brother Film and Television is not optimistic, so what? Just do it again.
You should know that the predecessors of Brothers Entertainment, representative works include "Prison Break", "X-Men 3", "Die Hard 4", etc. They are still talked about and are screened in a circular manner.
There are also world-renowned blockbusters such as "Star Wars" series, "Titanic", and "Monster Doctor Doreed".
Fox Entertainment Group is one of the giants in the world's entertainment industry, and its main components include Fox Broadcasting Corporation.
and a television network composed of 29 TV stations under its jurisdiction; Fox Film Entertainment, and its affiliated 20th Century Fox Films.
Now, except for the news, Yuanfang has not intervened, everything else is under her command, so she needs to make drastic moves at this time.
Ye Mao and Lola's ideas were all in line with her wishes. She was originally Chinese and had a natural resistance to various Western myths and legends, and the fun of domestic myths is naturally much better in her heart.
If this can be done, she will become the first person to take the lead in the history of Western films, and will completely present the Eastern myth and culture to Western audiences.
Yuanfang was a little excited when he thought about this. As for whether he could succeed in the end, it was not important. This was an attempt, which was similar to the establishment of a sect.
In addition, Yuanfang trusts this brother-in-law very much. Zhu Bajie was originally a film with no good looks, but was modified by Ye Mao. As a result, such a small cost has brought huge box office returns. What does this mean? This represents talent and his natural sensitivity to the market.
However, Yuanfang was still a little worried about the two children going to make trouble by themselves. It was not that they were worried about investing, but that they still lacked some experience and had to help them get on the horse and give them a trip.
The newly changed sign of the Beijing Brothers Film and Television Company is still shining. The company has been around these days, and it is very lively.
The news of Yuanfang's entry into Fox Film and Television spread wildly, and the popularity of Camellia Love and Zhu Bajie in the foreign market is getting higher and higher, so nominating the Oscar has become a foregone conclusion.
What does this mean? It means that Brother Film and Television has reached the top of the world's film and television industry. This is undoubtedly a shot of a heart-warming shot for the Chinese film and television circle.
People from all walks of life visited each other, especially those in the Beijing film and television circle. Because they often deal with each other, they are familiar with each other, so they naturally belong to the first wave of people coming to visit.
As the current head of domestic brother film and television, Batu naturally came forward to receive them. After all, these people are famous in the domestic film and television circles.
In fact, the purpose of coming is nothing more than seeking cooperation, and even want to put the movies they are currently shooting with the names of Brothers Film and Television and take them abroad for screening.
29 TV stations in Europe and the United States and countless cinemas have a temptation for them that they cannot refuse.
Batu was very polite to these people, but he did not agree to any request. Although they gave the conditions very favorable.
In fact, there is one common feature among Chinese people, that is, as long as you go out, you will win. As for the ratings and box office, it is not important.
When the publicity comes, a certain scammer will be released abroad and will sell well. This gimmick is enough. As for how to sell well? Anyway, domestic audiences don’t know.
Batu is very disgusted with these people. In fact, he is more stubborn than Yuanfang. Doing a career means doing a career. Just shoot your movies well. If the quality improves, the reputation will naturally be there. You have to rely on bragging to increase your value. Is that necessary?
But he was also helpless. With the deepening of the market economy, some speculators have made a lot of money by relying on this method, and getting rich overnight is no longer a myth. Therefore, more people have begun to be eager for quick success and instant profits.
In later generations, even the title of "domestic goods" became a business, and was trampled on by others, and even his underwear was pulled clean.
Batu is not such a person, but he can only guarantee that he will not do such things, and others will not be able to control it.
As people refuse too much, they will naturally feel a lot of dissatisfaction, especially those companies with deep foundations, who are all backed by big trees, and they will have the idea of ​​showing their colors.
Lao Tozi is a genius in the history of domestic films. Since he became famous in the first movie, he turned into a director and shot a series of film and television works with very high reputation.
He has two characteristics: one is his domineering personality, and the other is that he does not like to use stars. When he shoots movies, most of them choose the right role by himself. Even if this person has never been exposed to acting, as long as he thinks it is OK, that is OK.
There was a title in later generations called "Mou Girl."
These are all actresses who have played roles in his movies. Which of them is famous in the film and television industry.
Batu still attaches great importance to his arrival, because this person has ideas and talents, and even doesn't bother to hype for himself. The key is that he does not belong to any company. If such a person can join, the brothers' company is icing on the cake.
Lao Taozi was also straightforward and said, "If I could go to Hollywood to shoot a movie, then I would sell it to you for more than 100 pounds. The price doesn't matter, just don't starve to death."
How could Batu not like such a person? But he really couldn't make the decision about this matter, so he immediately called Yuanfang for instructions.
After the phone was connected, Yuanfang just pondered for a moment and offered a condition, that is, Lao Mouzi must assist Ye Mao and Lola in filming the new version of Journey to the West.
If this film is successful, he can sign a contract with Brothers Film and Television in Hollywood.
Lao Taozi frowned and thought for a long time. He was born in 1950 and is 58 years old this year. He is more than teenager than Ye Yuze. Journey to the West is a masterpiece. Maybe it will take several years to shoot. Does he still have so much time to waste?
Moreover, Yuan Fang's meaning is clearly not his independent director. That director is an American baby who is still in school. Lao Touzi is naturally very dissatisfied with this.
Talented people are basically a bit conceited, otherwise they would not have achieved so many results, which is a strong self-confidence in itself.
Now that he is a famous director with outstanding achievements, he is naturally uncomfortable when he is an assistant to a little girl.
But he is also a firm mind. Now he gains fame and fortune, and he does things no longer for money. His biggest wish is to stand on the Oscar podium one day and receive his award with an oriental face.
After a while of confusion, he looked up at Batu:
“Is there no room for negotiation?”
Batu shook his head firmly: "You know Yuan Zong's personality, and you have always said it the same thing."
Lao Tou sighed and then slapped the table:
"Okay, we'll sign now."
Batu was surprised and happy. Isn’t this a pie from the sky? Although Brothers Film and Television has achieved remarkable results in recent years, Batu understands that their weakness is still in the director’s terms.
The most popular movies are basically directed by him and Yuanfang, and they are all passionate. The only real commercial movie is Zhu Bajie. Although it has created huge economic value for them, it is still picked up.
If Lao Mouzi can join, it will undoubtedly fill a gap in his brother's company, especially when Yuan Fang has gone to Hollywood. If Batu is asked to guide a movie alone, he will be a little guilty.
Lao Touzi was very pleased. When he was drafting the contract, Batu took good care of his emotions and wanted to give him some preferential conditions as much as possible.
Unexpectedly, he waved his hand: "We only sign this movie. If the effect is not good, I will get out. If it succeeds, just let me go to Hollywood to shoot a movie."
Batu sighed in his heart that only such a person can do big things. He never puts conditions before doing things, and then talks about everything after it is done.
In fact, everything is the same. Self-healthy value is a manifestation of lack of confidence. If you are really good, what conditions do you need to be given? Who dares to underestimate you?
Because Journey to the West is an oriental myth, most of the outdoor scenes are in China, so naturally, the shooting must be taken in the country.
After the contract was signed, Batu was the host and called Ye Mao and Lola over, asking them to meet and have a specific talk so that they could have a unified view and then set up a crew.
Seeing Lola, Lao Taozi was also shocked. He naturally knew about Lola's identity and did not dare to underestimate her at all.
As for Ye Mao, Batu didn't hide it, and told him about it. Lao Touzi instantly balanced. This is just a playful house with the princess. What's wrong with this? It's better to say that he is more precise.
At dinner in the evening, the three of them had an argument, mainly Lao Mouzi and Lola.
Because Lola was born in Disney, she advocated making Journey to the West into an anime. But Lao Too insisted on live performances, mainly because he was really not familiar with anime!
The two of them had their own opinions and no one was willing to give in. In the end, Ye Mao mediated and performed in a live-action manner. Just use more special stunts, but it's not short of money anyway.
As for animation, my brothers have never been exposed to it. If you go to film it rashly, there will naturally be many problems and the risks are too high.
If the live version becomes popular, just recruit professional talents to produce it. Lola will definitely be responsible for doing it.
The three people finally reached an agreement, the core team was formed, and the rest was to recruit soldiers.
Ye Mao knew that Lao Touzi had to choose actors, so he simply let him go when he was doing this.
However, Lola was worried and expressed that she wanted to learn from Lao Touzi. Lao Touzi knew it well, so she agreed.
Originally, Ye Mao had already decided on the role of Sun Wukong, Liu Xiaolingtong, after all, he grew up watching the monkey he played.
But Lao Touzi firmly denied it. It was not that he felt that he was not good at acting, but that he was nearly 50 years old this year. Such a lively and active character, but who doesn't like to follow the rules, would probably have some flaws innately let people of this age play it.
Lao Touzi is a person who pursues perfection, otherwise he would not have achieved what he has today. So he went to Emei and naturally took Lola with him.
Ye Mao didn't follow them because he wanted to write the script. There were 52 episodes in the 86 version of Journey to the West, and some things were deleted.
But Ye Mao didn't want to delete it. After all, it was difficult. With some prefixes and emotional scenes, Ye Mao thought 99 episodes were the most suitable.
After all, the number 99 represents the Great Perfection for Chinese people. Does the Ninety-Nine Continuity?
There are several characters in the original work that run throughout the whole play, including Tang Monk, Sun Wukong, Sha Monk, and White Dragon Horse.
Ye Mao was about to add a few female pig's feet to come in, thinking that the whole play was also throughout the whole play, which was the main problem he faced.
Tang Seng has a king of the Kingdom of Women to arrange, and Zhu Bajie's most famous heroine, Miss Gao, is also familiar.
The most difficult thing now is the spouse of Sun Wukong and Sha Seng. In the original work, these two guys, Sun Wukong, were portrayed as stones that were basically ignorant of men and women, and one was wood that only knew how to bow his head and did nothing left.
Such a character is obviously not in line with the thinking habits of Western people. It must be changed, but it is not actually considered to be changed for others. Ye Mao himself doesn't like it.
In fact, during Stephen Chow's big talk, he had already chosen two female friends for Sun Wukong, and those who loved each other were immortals and demons.
Ye Mao likes this kind of scene, but he feels weak. How can a guy who dares to be the Great Sage of the Monkey King be worthy of a little fairy and a fairy?
However, due to the influence of the times, that guy Lao Wu did not give any woman too high status in the original work. Only one Queen Mother of Yaochi can be on par with the Jade Emperor.
You can't let Sun Wukong cuckold the Jade Emperor, right? That taste is a bit too heavy.
His mind suddenly changed, and Ye Mao patted his thigh hard. Isn’t this ready-made? Seven Fairies showed up at the beginning.
Although it was later legend that Lao Qi and Dong Yong had an affair, and a celestial fairy match was derived, aren’t there six others?
The Jade Emperor's daughter fell in love with the unruly monkey, so there should be no problem with this character. I did it.
Then the beginning of the seven fairies naturally need to describe it. It cannot be just a chance encounter in Pantao Garden, but then the area will pass by.
There is no need to say that the Jade Emperor's daughter is beautiful. She has a little domineering personality, but she should still be kind.
At worst, it would be better to waste an episode and play the life scene in the Jade Emperor Heavenly Palace. The seven fairies who are ignorant of the world live a carefree life besides loneliness.
In fact, this is easy to express. When facing a life without end, there is naturally nothing attractive except for men and women's love.
Fairies are also smart creatures, and naturally they also have the attributes of creatures themselves, that is, men and women love each other.
But the male gods in the heavenly world are all freaks who only know how to practice and do not understand feelings. Therefore, whether they fall in love with people or fairies, this is a normal reaction.
After all, people have a healthy and healthy desire than following a fool who only knows how to sit in a cave but doesn’t know how to change the years.
