Just like the Internet industry a few days ago, when Li Mu announced two support plans for the film and television industry, almost all practitioners in the audience could clearly feel the powerful power Li Mu released with every word. .
These days, it is difficult to find a boss who is willing to invest 10 million to make a movie, let alone someone who wants to invest several billion. Li Mu just used an understatement to outline a pie that the entire film and television industry could not even dream of imagining.
Unlike those entrepreneurs who are good at boasting and deceiving, Li Mu is not a realist "painter", but Ma Liang, the magic pen who can make paintings become reality.
Among entrepreneurs, "painters" account for the majority. These people like to paint a bright future for others, but paintings are paintings after all, and no matter how good they are, they cannot become reality.
Among this kind of "painters", the weakest ones are abstractionists and impressionists. When ordinary people look at what they paint, most of them will frown and say, "What the hell is this painting? Who are you trying to fool?"
In the middle level are oil paintings, prints, and Chinese painters. Ordinary people look at the things they paint, and they seem to be real but not real, or fake but not fake. They dare not believe that they are there, but they also dare not believe that they are not.
The most awesome ones are the realist "painters". The things they draw look like real things. If you draw a cake, you will want to take a bite. If you draw money, you will dare to go out and spend it. This kind of thing Cargo traps are the deepest.
However, since Li Mu started his business, every promise he has made has been fulfilled. Therefore, the entire industry is eager to eat the pie he painted.
When Li Mu first started to get involved in the film and television industry, let alone a star in the film and television industry, even a small figure in the film and television industry was a precious resource in his eyes.
When he cooperated with Ning Hao, he was in poverty; when he signed Tang Wei, she was just a student; when he won Huang Bo, he was struggling to play a small role...
However, as Li Mu's stalls grew larger and his layout became deeper and deeper, he began to regard the entire film and television industry as his own resources.
The film and television industry, which looks very high-end to others, and even the entire entertainment industry, will become an engine in Li Mu's grand strategy. Whether it is the stars, directors or film and television company bosses present today, one by one, in the future They will all work for themselves directly or in disguise.
In the future, when your own film and television base is built, at least half of the domestic film and television films will be inseparable from your own film and television base. Even if not all of them are shot in the base, most of them will be partially used;
With the continuous development of the Muying ticketing system, most of the domestic movie box office will be generated through this channel in the future. For any theater movie, no matter how much it sells for, whether it makes a profit or a loss, the ticketing system serves as the wallet for Unicom users. Channels will all draw their own profits from them.
And when the theater chain is developing rapidly, there are still three paths for the development of the theater chain. The first is Makino Imaging's self-operated theater chain. Although it may not bloom nationwide in the future, it will at least cover first- and second-tier cities. ; The second is Wanying Real Estate. In the future, Wanying Plazas across the country will inevitably be paired with Wanying Cinemas, which will also block other cinemas from the door; the third is its own screen fission plan. In the future, Wanying Plaza across the country will Theater chains in various places may have their own shareholdings.
As for celebrity resources, YY and YY.com are the core positions of online promotion. Having such a large user base is equivalent to having the ability to create stars. What's more, there are now Tieba, Weibo, and celebrities themselves. The media will be completely in their own hands.
In this way, the entire film and television industry is really working for itself.
From turning a practitioner into his own resource, to completely turning the entire industry into his own resource, this is the best evidence of Li Mu's explosive development.
…
At half past eight, the premiere officially begins.
The lights at the scene were turned off, all the guests and the audience took their seats, the media stopped filming, and the big screen began to show Ning Hao's first theatrical blockbuster. In Li Mu's eyes, it is also the pinnacle of Chinese pure comedy movies - "Crazy Stone" 》.
The movie entered the rhythm very quickly. It only played for a short two or three minutes, and the scene began to be occupied by laughter.
Every character is full-bodied, every plot is delicate, and every burden is shaken off very successfully, making the audience lean forward and unable to take their eyes off the show.
In his previous life, Li Mu had watched this movie countless times and knew many of the scenes and lines by heart.
In this life, although most of the actors and actresses in this movie retain the configuration of the version in the previous life, there are certain differences due to different eras and different budgets.
In Li Mu's view, this gap is a good thing, because the overall quality of this version exceeds the original version of the previous life and is even better.
As the only audience member who has watched both versions of "Crazy Stone", Li Mu's biggest feeling is that the picture quality is so much better!
Because the budget was sufficient, Ning Hao employed a better shooting and lighting team, and used better shooting and lighting equipment. First of all, the image quality made this version far superior to the original version;
In addition to the pictures, the scenes shot in the movie are also more delicate and full.
In the original "Crazy Stone", most of the shots were taken from shabby scenes, such as temples, and the dirty guesthouse and bathhouse opposite the temple.
This is okay, after all, it is a place where little people hang out, but the crew conditions at that time were limited, so the contrast between the rich and the poor was not widened.
Feng Dong, played by Xu Zheng, and the international thief Mike, are supposed to be synonymous with high-class people, but due to insufficient funds, their overall lives in the movie are still very poor.
Li Mu was deeply impressed by several scenes.
First, Director Feng’s office does not reflect the atmosphere of a real estate developer at all;
Second, in the plot where Feng Dong shoots a live chicken with a crossbow, the surrounding environment is not enough to reflect the luxurious life of a real estate developer;
Third, the fashion design studio of international thief Mike in Hong Kong is really just a small tailor shop, obviously lacking in style;
Fourthly, Wang Xun plays the role of a loser. The overall feeling is that he is a loser. In terms of character, his material foundation should be ranked third in this movie;
After watching the whole movie, the most valuable prop of the crew is the old white BMW car used throughout the plot. It is difficult to create the aura and momentum that a rich man should have. If this is not created, the audience will We cannot deeply feel the obvious gap between rich and poor and class gap.
And the most interesting thing is that according to the setting of the plot, the broken BMW does not belong to the character Wang Xun, but to Director Feng.
Otherwise, Wang Xun withheld the driver's license of Guo Tao, the security captain, and there was no need to hand it over to Director Feng for review.
Working as a secretary for a big real estate developer, mastering all his illegal secrets, but not even owning a car, and even risking his life in it. If such a secretary didn't change jobs, he probably has true love for his boss.
Therefore, watching such a low-budget movie, if it were not for the tight plot, excellent script and perfect performances of the actors, the audience would definitely feel a sense of dissonance.
The original "Crazy Stone" was successful because the movie itself was very attractive and had enough laughs, so it could barely get past the fact that it was short of funds.
In the new version, Ning Hao has better structured these scenes to better depict the huge contrast between different classes.
For example, the scene where Feng Dong shoots live chickens with a crossbow in the back garden of his villa was specially shot in Yanjing. In order to find a really impressive villa, Ning Hao didn't even buy Li Mu's villa in Ziyun Villa. It seems that in the end, the filming was completed by relying on the reputation of Makino Image and borrowing the ultra-luxury villa used by a real estate developer in Yanjing.
The yard of that villa alone covers thousands of square meters, with lawns, swimming pools, and gardening rockeries. The semi-open garage can park six cars at a time.
The real estate developer owns two Rolls-Royces, as well as Bentley, Mercedes-Benz, Lincoln Navigator and other luxury cars. However, in order to have a more visual impact, Ning Hao borrowed the red car that Cai Zhengmao gave to Li Mu. Ferrari Enzo, and borrowed an orange Lamborghini and a silver gray Aston Martin from the CSC club to match the villa owner's Rolls-Royce and Bentley.
In the movie, there is a five-second shot that pans from left to right along the semi-open garage. In just five seconds, the feeling of a super rich man is completely created.
In the film, as soon as this mansion appeared on the scene, Xu Zheng's character was immediately highlighted.
In addition, the movie also filmed a scene specifically for Xu Zheng smoking a cigar with a beautiful woman in his arms in a luxurious villa. Because the decoration of the villa is so luxurious, coupled with the lighting effects, it almost turned the villa into a golden light. The gleaming palace and the aura of a super nouveau riche instantly exploded.
Secondly, the interior scenes of Director Feng’s own office were shot in Shanghai, and the best office buildings in Shanghai were chosen. Such scenes are particularly full, and they play a huge help in the entire visual presentation;
In addition, in every scene where Feng Dong goes out, the car he takes is an expensive Rolls-Royce with four Mercedes-Benz S600s behind it, which definitely matches his status as a big real estate developer.
Even the character played by Wang Xun has his own new BMW 7 Series in the movie.
International thief Mike's "costume design studio" chose a backstage of a fashion magazine that specializes in shooting cover photos for first-line big names. It is not only well-decorated and well-designed, but also filled with all kinds of big-name custom-made clothes, which are full of style;
In order to highlight the status of the international thief Mike, the crew specially shot a shot of Mike flying to the mainland in a luxurious first-class cabin. This set of shots overlapped with the shots of the local police discussing him. At the beginning, between the two policemen, During the conversation: "According to reliable reports, the international thief Mike is preparing to sneak into our city and wait for opportunities to commit crimes..."
At this time, everything in the lens clicked...
Michael, the international thief played by Liu Tianwang, is sitting in an ultra-luxurious first-class cabin where he can stretch out his legs and lie flat. He crosses his legs and reads a newspaper related to jade with a handsome and unfathomable smile.
The beautiful stewardess stood beside him, put on a handkerchief for him, and handed him steak and champagne.
This is what an international thief should look like.
