On the way back, Rabbit Bill and others were in awe of Yi Feiyang's amazing dancing skills, and even lowered their faces and wanted to "learn from his teacher".
Yi Feiyang then asked them, "Why do you want to learn to dance?"
Rabbit Bill: "To show off."
Fat Jack: "To lose weight."
Big Bird Lucci: "To pick up girls."
Yi Feiyang waved his hand: "I won't teach you anything!"
Then he explained, "It's not that I don't want to teach you, it's because your starting point is too low-level... If you want to really learn the dance I dance, you have to endure hardships. For you people, let alone a year and a half, even if you learn three
God, I guess I can’t bear the pain.”
Of course Rabbit Bill and others understood this, but they still didn't give up. They wanted to continue to pester Yi Feiyang, but they saw that Yi Feiyang seemed to have remembered something and was deep in thought.
"Hey, boss, what's wrong with you?" Bill couldn't help but ask.
"I suddenly feel like... I have seen the scene where I came to rescue you just now..." Yi Feiyang said with a frown.
"What? What you said is too profound, I can't understand it."
Yi Feiyang shook his head and tried hard to catch the glimmer of light in his mind. Suddenly, "I thought of it!"
Yi Feiyang's bluster frightened Gao Jiabao, Bill and others.
"Kao, Ayang, what's wrong with you? Why are you so startled?" asked the fat man Gao Jiabao.
Yi Feiyang was overjoyed because he suddenly remembered where he had seen the movie just now.
In the previous life, when musical films were ignited by Hollywood's "High School Musical", many countries began to re-arrange excellent musical and dance films. Even Hong Kong produced a dance-and-dance movie called "The Dance", but these
No movie can surpass the classic "High School Musical", with only one exception, which is India's 2013 musical blockbuster... "The Dance"!
If Indian musicals can truly go global, then only this one, "Dance Floor", has moved people the most. In fact, the story of this drama is also very simple...
The male protagonist of this drama "Vishnu" is recognized as the best dancer in India. Dance is not only a passion, but also the motivation for him to live! Therefore, when he found that he was attracted by a partner who was sophisticated and good at manipulating others.
When he was expelled from the dance school he founded, it was as if the oxygen in the air he breathed was sucked out. The heartbroken Vishnu decided to give up dancing and leave the sad place of Mumbai forever.
However, the night before he left, he saw an astonishing scene - a group of young dancers preparing for the upcoming "Gampadi Dance Showdown" - an annual competition between Mumbai's best dance teams.
Competition event. Looking at these amazingly talented dancers, Vishnu made a decision - he took this disparate team as his disciples and helped them overcome their personal hostility and the interference of their painful pasts.
Make them the best dance team in India! And he himself will also meet his old partners in this dance competition...
The actors in this film are quite interesting. Except for Kai Kai Memnon, the "eternal villain" of Bollywood, the others are not professional actors. The male protagonist is played by a South Indian star who is known as the Indian version of Michael Jackson. Many actors in the film are
It was an Indian talent show, and the actual investment cost was not high, but it directly became the top five highest-grossing movies in India that year, with box office revenue as high as 455 million rupees, and its overseas box office revenue was even higher than other similar films, so much so that even Hollywood
Bian is also very fond of this drama, and it is rumored that a Hollywood company will pay a high price to purchase the adaptation rights of this drama and film it into a Hollywood version of "Dance Floor".
The scene where Yi Feiyang bravely saved Bill and danced with others in the ballroom was almost exactly the same as the coolest scene in "Dance Floor", where the male protagonist danced to save his student in an underground bar. Yi Feiyang couldn't help but shout, is this possible?
Is it God's will? God intended for me to film this "Dance Floor"?!
Some people may ask here, why did Yi Feiyang not go directly to film "High School Musical", but to film the Indian Asan's "Dancing Floor"?
The reason is very simple. The success of "High School Musical" is based on the climax period when hip-hop has become a popular dance in the world and is loved by teenagers. At this time, the appearance of "High School Musical" will of course be liked; and now, in 1999,
The United States, and even the whole world, still knows little about the genre of "hip-hop". There is no such trend for you to take advantage of. If you want to make this kind of musical film, you are simply courting death.
What's more, "High School Musical" is a TV movie. The first and second parts did not have box office at all, but the number of viewers was counted. For example, the first part premiered on the Disney Channel, and the number of viewers was 7.7 million, while the second part had 7.7 million viewers.
It was 17.7 million people, and it wasn’t until the third part that it was made into a movie and released.
The release schedule of a movie is always a science. If the schedule of a bad movie is right, it can also earn a lot of money at the box office. "High School Musical 3" certainly does not belong to the ranks of bad movies, but because in its previous life, the producer Disney cleverly
It avoided the blockage of previous blockbusters and was widely released in 3,623 theaters in North America over the weekend, and became the highest-grossing musical in Hollywood in its first weekend with US$42 million.
According to statistics, in North America, about three-quarters of the audience of "High School Musical 3" are women, and more than half of the audience are under the age of 18. The box office took in a total of 61.75 million US dollars in the two weeks of release, and the global box office eventually exceeded 200 million US dollars, making money.
The speed is far faster than that of "Saw", and it is said to be a shining dark horse in Hollywood.
However, for Yi Feiyang, the box office of 200 million cannot compete with Wachowski's "The Matrix 2"'s impressive record of 780 million. The result is still a loss, so Yi Feiyang must win by surprise, change the dynasty of Hollywood musicals, and create
Create a new miracle.
How to do it?
Just rely on this "Dance Floor"!
Although "The Dance" is also a musical and uses hip-hop as its selling point, the difference is that the story of this drama is not about hip-hop, but about the male protagonist Michael Jackson's life, friends and career in southern India.
Re-understanding, it tells the story of "The Resurrection of the God of Dance"!
Therefore, Yi Feiyang believes that if this play can be adapted into a movie, it will definitely be welcomed by the audience.
Only wonderful stories can create wonderful movies!
What's more, in this drama, my biggest secret weapon is not the story, but...
When Yi Feiyang expressed his thoughts and said that he was going to shoot a musical called "Dance Floor Battle", the fat man Gao Jiabao didn't know anything about it... Mainly because this guy didn't know much about movie trends, but Rabbit Bill and others
I objected immediately.
"No, boss, you are asking for death!"
"Yes, musical films are at their lowest point now. Why do you think of filming this kind of movie?!"
"Putting this kind of show against the Wachowski brothers, boss, I'm worried that you'll be completely defeated!"
…
Yi Feiyang didn't expect everyone's reaction to be so violent. Could it be that his decision was really wrong?
Seeing that Yi Feiyang was still so stubborn, Rabbit Bill couldn't help but said: "Oh, no matter what, the golden age of musicals has passed. This is how it is, half-dead. Now even "The Hustler" and "Flashdance" are
No one is watching, boss, don’t be naive..."
Yi Feiyang disagrees. Yes, the golden age of musicals has passed, but do we still remember the scene when "Break Dance" swept the world? And in India, basically every romance film is a musical in disguise.
Could it be said that this is not enough to prove that musicals will remain popular for a long time?!
"Maybe you are right, but my musical is not the kind you know, and I have a secret weapon. If it succeeds, I can guarantee that this movie will be a sensation in Hollywood, even if the Watchus
We are not afraid of the gay brothers’ "The Matrix" either..."
Yi Feiyang's vow made everyone puzzled. What is the secret weapon? A nuclear bomb or an atomic bomb?
However, Yi Feiyang never does anything that is uncertain, not to mention that if Fantasy Pictures wants to break through the blockade, it must take a different approach...
"Perhaps, as Boss Yi said, this is an opportunity to take risks." Everyone thought silently.
…
In the next few days, Yi Feiyang began to work with Fat Jack on the script of "Dance Floor Battle". In his previous life, Yi Feiyang liked this drama very much and watched it no less than four or five times. Not to mention the starring lines, even many supporting actors
He also remembered the lines very clearly, so the script was written almost in one go. Such a fast speed was a hardship for Fat Jack. On the one hand, he had to assist James Wan in the filming of "Saw 2", and on the other hand, he had to follow Yi Yi.
Feiyang helped him write the script. Yi Feiyang wrote the script so fast that the fat man's pen could not keep up with Yi Feiyang's ideas, so he almost collapsed on the ground from exhaustion.
Elsewhere here, Yi Feiyang gathered the people from Fantasy Pictures and announced the start of filming "Dance Floor".
Finally, Yi Feiyang emphasized that the key to the success of this drama lies in the choice of the leading actor. He must find a person with superb dancing skills to star. Moreover, Yi Feiyang looked at everyone in the company and smiled and said: "I have found this person."
, now it depends on whether he is willing..."
Everyone in the company looked at me and I looked at you, wondering what kind of medicine Yi Feiyang was selling in his gourd. Finally, Yi Feiyang announced, "He is the King of Pop - Michael Jackson!"
As soon as these words came out, it was like a bolt from the blue, thunder in the clear sky, and a collective uproar!
"What, you want to invite Mike to be the starring role?"
"No way, did I hear correctly?"
"God, the boss is so crazy!"
Everyone looked at Yi Feiyang in disbelief, as if looking at a prehistoric dinosaur, a thousand-year-old monster. In their eyes, anyone who dares to think like this is definitely not a human being!
