With the continuous publicity in the media, "Death is Coming", a movie with only a script framework, has begun to become popular in the entertainment industry.
What everyone is talking about the most is a new concept in "Death is Coming": "Death Design."
Another sentence made countless people feel a sense of despair: "No accidents, no coincidences, no escape!"
Countless people use their imagination to imagine how this suffocating death design is used to design death.
While driving, your brakes suddenly fail and you fail to turn and hit a mountain stream...
Standing on the side of the road, suddenly a car hit me...
Gas leaks, poisoning...
A series of coincidental designs that change in subtle ways make it impossible to escape.
This also caused countless enthusiasts to start studying this death design rule, and then exclaimed: It turns out that such a gameplay can be done...
However, only people with heavy tastes would like to play like this. Many people are afraid to fly when they think of this death design and the 2.17 air crash. As a result, the number of passengers in China has dropped by 5 in recent days.
percentage point.
The airline was about to cry but had no tears: "Paralysis! I was shot even while I was lying down! The impact of the 2.17 air crash finally subsided, and now it's coming again. Isn't this a scam?"
On the third day of the passive promotion of "The God of Death", news that was unfavorable to Wang Shang suddenly came.
"Modu Media News", the dedicated newspaper of the Modou Media University, published a commentary on the Internet: "Wang Shang said that his creative inspiration came from the 2.17 air crash. This is disrespectful to the families of the victims of the air crash! It is also disrespectful to the 2.17 air crash.
The blasphemy of the dead!”
"And according to insiders, the cause of death of Zhao Tiegang, the worst victim in the February 17 air crash, was indirectly related to Wang Shang. On February 17, Zhao Tiegang and Wang Shang had a dispute due to unknown reasons. In the end, Zhao Tiegang was so angry that he got on the plane and left.
Magic City. If Wang Shang had not argued with Zhao Tiegang, Zhao Tiegang would definitely have stayed in Magic City, and nothing would have happened."
The conflict between Shanghai Media University and Wang Shang has been going on for a long time. Now that they have caught the blame, they are naturally throwing dirty water and pointing the finger at Wang Shang invisibly.
As soon as this gossip came out, it naturally attracted the attention of countless people.
After seeing this inside story, some people were naturally dissatisfied with Wang Shang, while others felt that the newspaper was making a fuss out of nothing.
But the most terrible thing is that this report has attracted a lot of enemies for Wang Shang, such as Zhao Tiegang's brother and boss Zhao Baogang. He is a famous director in China and has directed many high-grossing movies. At this time, if his brother dies, it is inevitable
He regards Wang Shang as his enemy.
In addition to the great director Zhao Baogang, those who drew hatred for Wang Shang were some family members of the 2.17 plane crash. In recent days, many family members came to the studio of Tianwang. They caused trouble and smashed the windows, which made Tianwang's work difficult.
The room was in dire straits.
However, after a period of time, these family members left, and Tianwang Studio finally returned to normal working conditions.
As expected, Zhao Baogang still fell in love with Wang Shang.
On April 20, Zhao Baogang announced that he had reached an agreement with Hanhai Film and Television Group, the four major film and television companies in Shanghai, and was preparing to invest in the filming of a thriller. It will adopt the "death design concept" that is "circulating in the society" and plan the budget.
100 million, and the title of the film is "Death Comes".
As soon as this news came out, it immediately caused a sensation in the entertainment industry: "This is obviously seeking revenge!"
"Your sister!!!" Wang Shang cursed immediately after hearing this.
"What's going on?! Not only did you plagiarize my ideas, but you also dared to compete with me!"
"Okay, let's fight against each other. Let's see if you win or I win!!" Wang Shang is still very confident in himself. If he could beat the original work with just one idea, then the four famous works would have been replaced long ago.
I don’t know how many books there are.
Moreover, the only law of death that Wang Shang revealed was 'certain death', and other rules such as 'sequential death' and 'replacement death' were not disclosed.
"Without these rules, the Death God rules would definitely be a lot less shocking."
"If we follow this inference, Zhao Baogang's so-called "The Coming of Death" will probably be a tragedy!"
"But you still can't underestimate the wisdom of others. Without these rules, other different rules may be created. And this time, the crew's insider leaks can't happen again, and a high confidentiality agreement must be signed."
Wang Shang quickly calmed down and began to recruit assistant directors, recorders, lighting engineers, photographers and other staff. Of course, Wang Shang only recruited the main crew members, and other staff were dispatched by the studio to let them
Learn from these experienced people.
Wang Shang's studio is still in short supply of various talents, and many talents need to be cultivated by themselves. As for external recruitment, all experienced masters have signed contracts with production companies, so it is difficult to poach employees.
The mobility of film and television talents is not active enough. This is one of the current situations in China's film and television industry. Large companies have access to various abundant resources, and the strong ones get stronger; while small companies find it difficult to survive and develop, and it is even more difficult for the weak ones to get weaker.
After careful consideration, Wang Shang finally decided on a talent training plan: by temporarily recruiting various experienced masters to join the crew, while people from the studio would follow behind to learn and slowly train them.
Of course, there is also a supporting high-priced talent recruitment plan. You are not afraid of spending money, just afraid that there will be no one.
…
On May 3, the assistant director and others were selected after screening.
The assistant director is a first-line director contracted by Datang International, named Wu Hai.
The lighting engineer and photographer are from the first-line contracted masters of Blue Ocean Group, named Zheng Ning and Yang Jia respectively.
The set designer who was recruited was a freelance set designer. Under Wang Shang's sharp tongue, he was finally signed at a high price. His name is Zhao Desheng, a set designer in his 50s, with a bright spirit.
Has nearly forty years of setting experience.
Later, a recording master was hired.
These masters all have rich experience in horror film shooting. Thanks to Wang Shang's horror results in "Those Years", and also thanks to the announcement of the death design concept of "The God of Death", these masters are very interested.
, otherwise it would be difficult for Wang Shang to recruit them.
And thanks to the gradual expansion of Wang Shang's influence, major production companies such as Datang International and Blue Ocean International released him without too much difficulty.
As soon as these old masters came in, Wang Shang directly explained the current situation and took out a confidentiality agreement. They didn't have any objections. Confidentiality is a necessary ethical principle in this industry, and there is money for signing this agreement.
The heads of each team in the production team were finally recruited, and Tianwang Studio began to operate rapidly and began to assemble the production crew.
Wang Shang began to gather these old masters to discuss the script, and began to set up plots and scenes one by one under a few rules of death.
What scene will be more shocking, how to set it up to make the plot more compact, what kind of setting will be more terrifying...
Several people were brainstorming constantly, and ideas kept popping up. The experience of the old master and Wang Shang's broad thinking made "Death Is Coming 1" more exciting.
A week later, with several people working day and night, the script was finally formed.
"This is going to be a great movie!!"
"It will have a chance to hit Hollywood!!"
"Thanks also to the careful grooming by all the masters!"
"Haha, no matter how good we are at it, it is still based on Director Wang's rules. Otherwise, the script will definitely not be as exciting as it is now!"
After several people came out of isolation, they were full of confidence in this script.
They can't wait to start filming!!
…
After the script was confirmed, budget planning began. At this time, the crew was almost completed and the final casting was still needed.
When it came to casting, Wang Shang chose the Shanghai Film and Television University.
It can be said that Wang Shang has great expectations for his alma mater.
A production group is not Wang Shang's ultimate goal. Wang Shang's goal is to build an Eastern Hollywood in China, no longer be looked down upon by North American Hollywood, and ultimately make himself the king of directors in the world.
To achieve this goal, which can be called the world's most arrogant, Wang Shang must make a lot of money and support the huge film industry chain, from technology to talents, from craftsmanship to cultural concepts, from every corner of the film industry
…
If you want to build an Eastern Hollywood, you will definitely not be able to afford it with tens of billions of dollars. So make money, make money, and make more money...
In addition to making a lot of money, Wang Shang also needs to unite all the forces that can be united around him.
The establishment of Eastern Hollywood requires huge human resources, which cannot be afforded by a small production group. It must gather countless talents from across the country and train them to support this plan.
Colleges and universities have provided Wang Shang with such a talent reserve foundation.
The Shanghai Film and Television University is Wang Shang’s first goal.
Now, Wang Shang needs to slowly penetrate his influence into this institution of higher learning, and then use benefits to tie it to his own chariot, turning it into his first talent training base. At the same time, he also needs to use
Use the network of Shanghai Film and Television University to improve yourself.
That's why Wang Shang promised that the actors for the second film would be selected from the Shanghai Film and Television University.
If it were not for financial constraints, Wang Shang would now want to reach a talent training bundled plan with the Shanghai Film and Television University.
Now it's finally time to select actors for "The God of Death". Wang Shang immediately thought of the Magic City Film and Television University. Six of the seven protagonists are students. There are many protagonists and they are all young. They are just right for the Magic City.
Students at the Film and Television University.
At this time, as soon as the students from the Performance Department of Shanghai Film and Television University heard that Wang Shang had started filming a new movie, they began to crane their necks and wait eagerly.
On May 10, Wang Shang, who had finalized the script, officially headed to the Shanghai Film and Television University.
I don’t know what kind of enthusiasm the students who have been waiting for a long time will use to welcome him when he arrives...
