"This shooting went very smoothly."
When Li Ruotong saw Yue Guan at Miracle Company, he was a little surprised that he got away from the crew so quickly.
Yue Guan nodded: "It went really well. The main reason is that there are few scenes and the actors we found are good. However, post-production will be difficult. We may not be able to catch up with next year's summer schedule."
Although the special effects company under Yue Guan's name is the number one in the world, this does not mean that it can ignore the objective laws of the industry.
Special effects that should take time to create still take time.
Special effects that should cost a lot of money to produce still cost a lot of money.
Goldfinger only improves the level of special effects, but time and money still have to be spent.
The difficulty of special effects production in the second part of "Feng Shen" is at least three times more difficult than the first part of "Feng Shen".
Because of this, the "Shading the Sky" project was temporarily shelved by Yue Guan.
The special effects are not yet mature, so it would be best to film it in a few years.
Otherwise, with the special effects needed for "Shading the Sky", if it were really produced, it would be difficult for the TV series to make back its money.
Anyway, Wu Ershan has finished filming the second part of "Feng Shen" and the third part of "Feng Shen", so Yue Guan is not in a hurry.
Regarding Yue Guan's words, Li Ruotong didn't take it seriously: "It doesn't matter if it can't be released in the summer next year. Since the project of "Feng Shen" was established, the money we invested has been earned back from the stock price. Yue Guan, I found that the stock market is really A good thing."
"That's because you are now a big banker and can get inside information at any time, so you think the stock market is a good thing." Yue Guan complained: "For those retail investors, the stock market is just a waste of money. Devil, the stock market seems to have collapsed again today, and I don’t know how many leeks have been cut again.”
"I made 700,000 today." Li Ruotong was a little excited.
This is the difference between large investors and retail investors.
Yue Guan shook his head and complained to Mo Xiangwan: "Sister Xiangwan, have you seen Sister Ruotong's ugly face?"
Li Ruotong said: "Don't think about it. Xiang Wan will definitely not see it. Xiang Wan made at least one million from the stock market today, which is more than I made."
Yue Guan: "...two ugly capitalists."
Mo Xiangwan spoke: "Your financial advisor told me that your stock market gain today was 2.5 million."
Yue Guan: "..."
I am obviously the successor of the proletariat.
Since when have we become complicit with this group of bourgeoisie
It's so heartbreaking.
"Okay, stop pretending, what are your plans next?" Mo Xiangwan didn't give Yue Guan a chance to feel sad.
Yue Guan sighed softly: "Hey, those who know me say that I am worried, and those who don't know me say that I don't want anything. Okay, let me speak in human terms, Sister Xiang Wan, aren't you my agent? My arrangements should be It's you who have the final say."
Yue Guan and Mo Xiangwan looked at each other.
Mo Xiangwan blushed in a rare blush: "Don't you plan most of your career by yourself?"
She reflected for a moment, and it seemed that she hadn't cared about Yue Guan's career for a long time.
Mainly because there is no need for her to care.
Yue Guan really reassured her.
The managers of other celebrities have to work hard to help their artists to accept dramas, commercial performances, variety shows, and even contact the fan team, and they are busy all around.
But she didn't have to do anything.
Most of Yue Guan's scenes are played by Yue Guan himself, and there is no need for her to go out and pick them up for Yue Guan.
As for business and variety shows... Yue Guan's attitude has always been to refuse if he can. Unless it is the promotion period, Yue Guan will basically not appear in variety shows.
As for the fan team... Because of her, the global fan support club has been disbanded by Yue Guan himself.
So it is really comfortable to be Yue Guan's agent.
All you need to learn is one trick - lie down.
Just lie down in a more graceful position, and Yue Guan will automatically lead her to victory.
Mo Xiangwan asked herself that her contribution to Yue Guan might not be as good as that of Li Ruotong. Li Ruotong also served as a mascot, so she followed Yue Guan and shouted "666".
But this time, it seems that Yue Guan is really going to start using her.
"The third part of "Feng Shen" is still the same as the second part of "Feng Shen". After the previous part is released, the script of the third part will be adjusted based on the evaluation feedback given by the audience, so it will not be finished at once. Then I The planned follow-up series "The Immortal Qin Empire" will be ranked behind the third part of "Feng Shen", including the inspiration I came up with during the Chinese New Year last year. It will also be ranked behind and will not be filmed for the time being."
Yue Guan is talking about the secret of 1999.
His plan is to link the secrets of 1999 with the world view of the "Immortal Qin Empire" and "Feng Shen" series as much as possible, so the shooting sequence must be in the order of "Feng Shen" - "Xian Qin" - "Secret War of 1999" Come in order.
In terms of film resources, Yue Guan has actually made plans for several years, so there is no need to worry about not having enough films, and they are all commercial special effects blockbusters.
However, the film shooting cycle is very long, and the post-production cycle of this kind of commercial special effects blockbuster is even longer.
What to do between the filming of the two movies, Yue Guan was going to let Mo Xiangwan arrange it for him.
Mo Xiangwan, who hadn't been in charge of this kind of specific business for a long time, was really a bit unskilled for a while.
She looked at Yue Guan's itinerary, and then asked Yue Guan: "Are you going to the premiere of "Wolf Warrior"?"
Yue Guan was a little surprised: "'Wolf Warrior' is going to premiere? So soon?"
He thought he would have to wait a little longer.
Mo Xiangwan had known about "Wolf Warrior" before, and explained: "This speed is not too fast, and it is not like "Fengshen" which requires a lot of time to do post-production special effects. After all, it was you who gave me the script idea. Wu Jing also sent you an invitation, are you ready to go?"
"Go and have a look."
Although this world is no longer one, nor does it have the favorable environment of the right time, place, and people in the previous life, Yue Guan still believes that "Wolf Warrior 2" is an excellent commercial movie.
Even if it doesn't achieve the miraculous box office that it did in its previous life, it should still be able to set a record for domestic military films.
In addition, after all, the script idea was given by Yue Guan, so he should help Wu Jing stand up.
"Has our company invested in "Wolf Warrior"?"
"I voted a quarter," Li Ruotong said.
Yue Guan smiled: "It's not bad. As long as the filming is not too bad, it shouldn't be a big problem to pay back the original cost. Sister Xiang Wan, please arrange for me the activities after the premiere of "Wolf Warrior"."
"good."
With the time buffer, it was easy for Mo Xiangwan.
After all, he was once a famous gold medal agent in the industry, so his professionalism is still there.
…
Two days later.
Yue Guan and Yang Mi appeared together at the premiere of "Wolf Warriors".
Originally, Yue Guanyou asked Zhang Yin if she wanted to come with her. After all, "Wolf Warrior" was also a movie that her father supported.
But Zhang Yin said her father would not let her come forward.
Yue Guan can understand it if he thinks about it.
If it were Zhang Zhao, he probably wouldn't come forward, let alone his relatives.
No need.
Anyway, if "Wolf Warrior" succeeds, his contribution will definitely be indispensable.
They are not suitable to put themselves in front of the stage when doing this kind of work.
In addition, Yang Mi took the initiative to ask Yue Guan, and Yue Guan came with Yang Mi.
It was really Yang Mi who took the initiative to ask Yue Guan.
"When we were filming "Guo Xiang" before, you told me that you were very optimistic about Brother Jing and asked me to heat up his cold stove. Later, my relationship with Brother Jing was also good, but when he was filming "Wolf Warrior", he didn't consider it at all. But let me be the heroine." Yang Mi was a little aggrieved.
After filming "Guo Xiang", she was at the top of her game, while Wu Jing was on the street for two years.
But she didn't abandon Wu Jing as a friend.
Is it easy
It turned out that Wu Jing was filming a movie, but he had no intention of casting her as the heroine.
Damimi was very dissatisfied.
Yue Guan felt a little funny: "Maybe it's because the role is not suitable. Why are you sulking?"
"What character is not suitable for a military movie? The heroine must also be a vase." Yang Mi understands this very well: "The vase only needs to be beautiful. The heroine is not as beautiful as me."
Yue Guan glanced at the movie heroine in the distance, and then at Damimi.
It's hard to say which of the two is prettier, after all, personal aesthetics are different.
But Da Mimi is definitely older than her, this Yue Guan can confirm it.
After all, size has an intuitive visual scale.
Yang Mi saw Yue Guan's eyes. Not only did she not dodge, but she took the initiative to straighten up and chuckled, "Do you also think I'm beautiful?"
"Of course, Sister Mi's appearance has always been the ceiling for Chinese female stars."
Yue Guan's hypocritical polite words came as soon as he opened his mouth.
But Yang Mi found it useful.
"Sister Mi, you are so upset, why do you come to support Brother Jing?" Yue Guan asked curiously.
Although Da Mimi has always been broad-minded, this is a bit too broad-minded.
Damimi's explanation also benefited Yue Guan: "I heard that you gave Wu Jing the script idea for "Wolf Warrior"."
"Brother Jing wrote it himself, I just gave him a beginning."
Yue Guan did not sign his name as the screenwriter of "Wolf Warrior", which is not necessary.
Just make money.
Well, to be honest, he was a little worried that the plot of "Wolf Warrior" was not exciting enough and would ruin his brand.
However, he did not sign his name, and Wu Jing was not polite to him when he was promoting it. The propaganda about tying up Yue Guan was overwhelming.
Of course, Wu Jing must have informed Miracle Company in advance.
After all, Miracle Company also invested a quarter of the "Wolf Warrior" project. The showrunners of "Wolf Warrior" promoted it this way, and Miracle Company acquiesced.
The banner of Layueguan pulls the skin of a tiger, but the effect is still very good.
Judging from the starlight ceremony of today's premiere, at least a lot of big names were present.
Although many people come to Yueguan, not to the main creative team of "Wolf Warrior", such as Damimi.
Yue Guan and Yang Mi came to visit together. As the director and starring Wu Jing, he would definitely welcome them in person.
Yue Guan could tell that Wu Jing was a little nervous, so he comforted him: "Brother Jing, it's not your first time. Why are you nervous? Haven't you already experienced "Wolf Fang" before?"
Yang Mi was surprised: "Brother Jing has directed movies before? Why didn't I know?"
Wu Jing: "..." What should I do if I get even more nervous
The movie "Wolf Fang" was indeed directed and filmed by him in his early years. The quality... is hard to describe.
An embarrassing moment.
It failed miserably at the box office and critically.
For Wu Jing, this is definitely not a proud memory.
"The investment in "Wolf Warrior" is much larger than that in "Wolf Fang", so it must not fail." Wu Jingdao.
"Don't worry, I believe "Wolf Warrior" won't be too bad."
After all, this is the plot of "Wolf Warrior 2".
A slight adaptation will not affect the audience's viewing, and it actually has little impact on the box office.
In the previous life, "Wolf Warrior 2" was able to create box office miracles for many reasons, but among them was not the sequel to "Wolf Warrior".
There are many fans who have watched "Wolf Warrior 2" without watching "Wolf Warrior".
Yang Mi asked the truth in a half-joking tone: "Brother Jing, you are not interesting enough. Why don't you ask me to be the heroine in the movie? I will definitely not ask for a high salary."
After all, Yue Guan had pointed out to her that Wu Jing had great potential.
Damimi still believed in Yue Guan's judgment.
Wu Jing told the truth: "I have to go abroad to film "Wolf Warrior", and I have to go to Africa for a while. During the whole filming period, I will be with the crew for the entire filming, which is actually very tiring and time-consuming, so I didn't want to find you."
Hearing what Wu Jing said, Yang Mi felt much better.
It is true that she would not accept such a scene if Wu Jing approached her.
Damimi's time is very valuable.
It would be great if we don't have to do the scene. In order to fit in the crew's schedule, we have to go to Africa to shoot with the crew. You don't even have to think about it, it's definitely impossible.
Not only is it impossible for Da Mimi, but most popular actresses in the entertainment industry can't do it.
Not everyone is willing to sacrifice everything in order to make a good film.
After sitting down with Yue Guan, Yang Mi complained: "I thought this movie was a good opportunity. It seems that Brother Jing has been tossing the heroine a lot. Fortunately, I didn't act."
"Sister Mi, after watching "Wolf Warrior", you may change your mind and wonder why I didn't act in this movie."
"Are you very optimistic about the quality of "Wolf Warrior"?" Yang Mi heard the subtext in Yue Guan's words.
Yue Guan smiled: "You'll know just by looking at it, but my intuition tells me that the plot of "Wolf Warrior" won't be too bad."
Not too bad indeed.
It is basically the same as the "Wolf Warrior 2" I watched in my previous life. It just changed the world view and directly deleted the plot connected with 1.
Make "Wolf Warrior" look more like a logical story.
Leng Feng, played by Wu Jing, was sentenced by a military court because he killed a bully who forcibly demolished the house of his comrades in a rage. While in custody, his girlfriend Long Xiaoyun died in the mission. After being released from prison, Leng Feng traveled to Africa. He traveled all over the country, just to find the murderer of Xiaoyun.
During this period, a rebellion broke out in the country where Leng Feng stayed, and the traitorous Red Scarf Army went on a killing spree, causing rivers of blood to flow. The Dragon Kingdom dispatched the navy to carry out the evacuation mission. During this period, Leng Feng learned that a Dr. Chen was trapped in a hospital fifty-five kilometers away, and the rebels were trying to capture the doctor. And I learned from another overseas Chinese that the murderer of Xiaoyun was staying in this country.
Thus, a heart-touching rescue began.
A very simple story.
A story full of male hormones.
A very cool story.
If there's any depth to this story, it really doesn't.
But to say whether this story is good or not, I have to say, it is really good.
Even Damimi, who is not very interested in military movies, watched it.
And I enjoyed watching it.
After watching the battle between Wu Jing and the villain, Yang Mi breathed a sigh of relief.
Then she reacted.
"Brother Jing's directing skills are very mature."
Damimi often watches movies. She has her own judgment on whether a movie is good or bad.
In her eyes, "Wolf Warrior 2" is definitely not the kind of movie that has a particularly popular reputation and is particularly popular, but it is a movie that she can watch, and Damimi can tell that the business model of this movie is very mature.
Very audience friendly.
Generally speaking, the box office of such movies is not too bad.
Yang Mi didn't expect Wu Jing to have such skills: "Yue Guan, was this movie really made by Brother Jing?"
"It shouldn't be wrong. After all, Wu Jing doesn't have a father who is a director. There is no market for spreading rumors about this." Yue Guan said a cold joke.
Some people have always said that Chen Kaige's "Farewell My Concubine" was so good because it was made by Chen Kaige's father and only had Chen Kaige's name on it.
Then many people believe this...
It can only be said that Chen Kaige himself is not up to par. The stuff he filmed after "Farewell My Concubine" has made his ability to counter such rumors even questionable.
Some people also say that when Han Han makes a movie, there are more than a dozen assistant directors. All the movies are made by the assistant director, and Han Han doesn't care at all.
Yue Guan doesn't know if it's true or not. He only knows one thing: the entertainment industry really likes to spread gossip.
And I really like to pick the director’s peaches.
But Wu Jing’s peaches are not easy to pick.
Because he does not have a father who is a director, the crew of "Wolf Warrior" does not have more than a dozen assistant directors.
At this time, the way Yang Mi looked at Wu Jing was different from before.
"No wonder you asked me to make friends with Brother Jing. Brother Jing is actually a thousand-mile horse. I feel that the box office of "Wolf Warrior" will not be too bad." Yang Mi analyzed.
There's nothing wrong with this feeling.
At this time, Wu Jing was being interviewed on stage.
When asked by the host why he wanted to film "Wolf Warrior", Wu Jing directly pushed Yue Guan out.
"Making a military movie was actually the suggestion that Yue Guan and I met when we were filming "Guo Xiang", and Yue Guan gave me the suggestion. Brother Jiao and Mimi were also there at the time, and they were able to testify for me. But at that time, our country still had There were no successful military movies, so I kept waiting and waiting. I waited for two years and still didn't get it.
Then Yue Guan found me again and said, Brother Jing, you can make one yourself. He provided me with a story idea. I wrote a script based on this story, and then made it into "Wolf Warrior", which is what everyone sees. . "
When Wu Jing arrived at Yueguan, of course the host would not give up on Yueguan and called Yueguan directly: "Yueguan, is what Wu Jing said true?"
"Absolutely, but the reason why "Wolf Warrior" was so good was because Brother Jing was so awesome, so I provided some insignificant help."
Yue Guan doesn't have any new dramas coming out right now, so he doesn't want to stand out too much.
Moreover, "Wolf Warrior" was not originally his movie, and Yue Guan himself did not want to take credit.
However, the host did not let Yue Guan go and continued to ask: "As we all know, Yue Guan, your judgment of the market is very accurate. Do you think "Wolf Warrior" can be successful at the box office?"
"The problem is not big. We lack excellent domestic military movies in China. The quality of "Wolf Warrior" is not bad. It actually fills a gap in the market, so the potential is still great." Yue Guan said truthfully.
“How much do you think the box office of ‘Wolf Warrior’ will be?”
Yue Guan thought for a while and gave his answer: "It should start from 500 million, it should not be less than 500 million."
The number given by Yue Guan scared many people.
There is no precedent for successful domestic military movies in the industry.
If the box office of "Wolf Warrior" can exceed 500 million, it will actually be considered a record.
Many people think that Yue Guan deliberately exaggerated the potential of "Wolf Warrior" to help promote "Wolf Warrior".
Even Wu Jing thinks so.
After the show, Wu Jing smiled bitterly at Yue Guan and said: "Yue Guan, I know you want to help me, but 500 million... is really too much. If the box office of "Wolf Warrior" does not reach 500 million, wouldn't it be a waste? Got your signature."
Yue Guan: "...I really think the box office of "Wolf Warrior" can reach 500 million."
Wu Jing and Damimi both looked at Yue Guan in shock.
Yue Guan shrugged: "Why are you looking at me like this? Is 500 million a lot? Since I debuted, I have never made a movie worth less than 500 million. In my opinion, 500 million is already very low."
Wu Jing: “…”
Damimi: “…”
Yue Guan, a pretender, left them speechless.
But I have to admit that what Yue Guan said is really the truth.
Since Yue Guan's debut, the movie with the lowest box office has been "Fengshen".
But even "Fengshen", which has the lowest box office, has a domestic box office of over 600 million.
There are still more than 200 million overseas box office.
The two felt a huge gap.
What should I do if I suddenly don’t want to talk to Yue Guan
However, it was okay for Wu Jing to ignore Yue Guan, and Yue Guan did not want to develop any relationship with Wu Jing.
But not Da Mimi.
Because she originally came by car from Yueguan.
If Yue Guan didn't send her off, she would have to have someone pick her up, or take a taxi back herself.
On the way home, Damimi asked Yue Guan: "Yue Guan, are you really optimistic that the box office of "Wolf Warrior" can exceed 500 million yuan?"
"It shouldn't be a big problem."
Only 500 million.
This is already an underestimate of the performance of "Wolf Warrior".
After Yue Guan watched "Wolf Warrior", he didn't think it was a magical movie, but he felt very happy after watching it.
If a commercial film can achieve this, it has already succeeded.
In addition, there are no obvious shortcomings, and 500 million can indeed be considered as the starting price.
Hearing Yue Guan confirm this matter again, Damimi felt her heart aching.
"Yue Guan, you were right. I regret it. Why didn't I act in this movie?"
Damimi doesn’t have a single movie under her name that has a box office of over RMB 500 million.
She is very greedy.
Of course, now I can only be greedy.
Yue Guan smiled: "Sister Mi, calm down. Military movies are very difficult to shoot, and they often have to undergo strict military training. Even ordinary stars can't stand it. Even if the heroine originally came to you, you wouldn't I will take it. Not only you, but the rich second-generation character looked for a lot of young talents in the industry, but no one was willing to play it, so it fell to Zhang Han, a has-been star."
Wu Jing did not look for Yue Guan.
Because Yue Guan was also filming at the time and had no time to spare.
But even if Wu Jing came to Yue Guan, Yue Guan would not pick him up.
The role of the rich second generation is used to set off Leng Feng played by Wu Jing and to add laughter. It can be said to be the second male lead or the third male lead. This is not a guest role.
Of course Yue Guan would not carry Wu Jing's sedan chair.
Even if Yue Guan didn't care about this, Mo Xiangwan wouldn't let him do this.
Besides, Yue Guan really doesn't have much interest in this kind of role.
Damimi lacks a movie with a box office of over 500 million, and Yue Guan doesn't lack either.
"Hey, when can I make a movie with a box office of more than 500 million yuan?" Damimi sighed.
Yue Guan reminded: "Sister Mi, you should have already taken the photo."
Yang Mi responded quickly: "You mean "Mermaid"? Are you optimistic that the box office of "Mermaid" will exceed 500 million yuan?"
The filming of "Mermaid" has officially started, but the crew has not finished filming yet.
But Yang Mi’s role has been completed.
After filming "Mermaid", Yang Mi could only feel that it was a pretty good movie, at least the plot didn't have any flaws.
But she didn't feel like she had made an unprecedentedly good movie.
Regarding the results of "Mermaid", Yang Mi actually has little confidence.
Unexpectedly, I got a surprise here in Yueguan.
Yue Guan nodded: "The box office of "Mermaid" should not be lower than that of "Wolf Warrior". After all, Deng Chao's box office appeal is still stronger than Wu Jing's. Coupled with the popularity of you and Yoona, there is no reason to lose. By the way, the filming of "Mermaid" went smoothly, right? If it doesn't go well, then nothing will happen."
"The filming was pretty good, I feel pretty good." Yang Mi became excited: "'Mermaid' should be released next year. Sure enough, after starring in your movie, the box office will not be high even if you don't think so."
Although "Mermaid" has not been released yet, Yang Mi has confidence in Yue Guan.
She also once again strengthened her understanding of Yue Guan.
She could survive in the film industry on her own for ten or eight years without getting ahead, and those high-quality resources would not fall into her hands at all.
And Yue Guan had some resources exposed between her fingers. Those resources that Yue Guan looked down upon were all top-notch resources in her eyes.
For example, Wu Jing's "Wolf Warrior" and Deng Chao's "Mermaid", Yang Mi felt that Yue Guan would definitely be able to film them.
But Yue Guan gave it away directly.
It shows that he does not value resources of this level at all.
Thinking about the scenes Yue Guan filmed, I do have the confidence to look down on them.
But Yang Mi can respect her.
Just hug Yue Guan's thigh tightly and eat the leftovers that Yue Guan didn't want. Da Mimi felt that she would be full.
Thinking of this, Yang Mi looked at Yue Guan with a burning look in her eyes.
Yue Guan felt it clearly.
But... he still wasn't invited upstairs for tea.
Yue Guan was very angry.
I talked so much on the road, but I didn't even drink tea.
It is said that Damimi has a high emotional intelligence.
However, as a sunny boy who abides by etiquette, if others didn't take the initiative to invite, he certainly couldn't take the initiative.
Therefore, he said goodbye with a calm expression.
Watching Yue Guan's car gradually go away, the smile on Damimi's face became more real.
"This kind of top-notch man can obviously indulge himself, but he can also restrain his desires. Tangtang, I feel like you can't win over him at all."
As a sister, I want to help.
…
The box office trend of "Wolf Warrior" has not been outstanding.
On the contrary, after the first two days of release, "Wolf Warrior"'s box office performance was tepid.
But the reputation is quite good.
On the third day, many people were surprised to find that the attendance rate of "Wolf Warrior" not only did not decrease, but actually increased.
By this time, professionals had realized the box office potential of "Wolf Warrior."
Yue Guan's prediction that the box office of "Wolf Warrior" will exceed 500 million came to their minds. At first they thought Yue Guan was just talking, but now it seems that this prediction is likely to come true.
Yue Guan is indeed a great prophet.
Yue Guan's judgment on the market has once again been confirmed.
Then, an unexpected person came to visit.
"Director Chen, we are a rare visitor."
Yue Guan was really surprised.
He didn't expect that Chen Kaige would take the initiative to visit him, and it was nothing serious. He just came to seek the master's advice.
Yue Guan looked at Chen Kaige's age and then looked at himself in the mirror. He always felt that the situation should be reversed.
But today Chen Kaige came here to ask for advice humbly: "Yue Guan, you know the market best, can you give me some guidance?"
"What clear path?"
"I want to make a new movie, but now, I don't know what to make in the new movie." Chen Kaige said with a wry smile: "I feel like I can't understand the current market at all. Take the most popular "Wolf Warrior" on the market as an example. , I have seen "Wolf Warrior", but it felt like a very ordinary movie. Why is the box office so high?"
Yue Guan looked at Chen Kaige deeply: "Director Chen, you actually understand the reason."
Chen Kaige let out a long sigh.
He really understands the reason.
The directing skills of "Wolf Warrior" were not worth mentioning in his eyes. Compared with Wu Jing's directing skills, there was only a gap between a junior high school student and a college student.
Even in the movie "Wolf Warrior", Chen Kaige didn't think it was any good, it had no depth at all.
However, the box office was a blast...
This caused him to pause what he was doing while he was already preparing for a new movie.
Chen Kaige is very confused now.
I don’t know how to make a movie anymore.
Are you going to continue to stick to your own art? Or throw yourself into the market
The key is that even if he wants to throw himself at the market, the market may not accept him.
It does not mean that you will definitely succeed if you adjust your style to embrace the market.
Zhang Li also wanted to adjust his style to embrace the market when he shot "Martial Arts", but as a result, he lost both his performance and reputation.
Chen Kaige also has this concern.
Especially after the filming of "Search" and "Long Night" were completed, Chen Kaige was put on the altar again.
If the new movie is not made well, the altar will be shattered immediately.
This is something Chen Kaige cannot accept.
He didn't know who to ask for help, so he thought of Yue Guan.
Yue Guan said that I am not a god either.
"Director Chen, this kind of thing depends on you. No outsider can make the decision for you, and there is no way to make the decision for you."
If Chen Kaige listens to his words and rushes to the street, then Yue Guan will be blamed out of thin air.
Chen Kaige struggled for a moment and asked what he was most concerned about: "Yue Guan, do you think I can make a movie like "Wolf Warrior" well?"
If he changed his style and it would be a box office hit, Chen Kaige said that he would bite the bullet and it would not be impossible for him to change his style.
As a well-known director, but the box office performance has not improved, Chen Kaige is also under a lot of pressure.
But Yue Guan didn't give him an accurate answer: "Director Chen, you are a professional. You should understand that there are many variables in making a movie. Even if you make a good movie, it may not get a good box office. , there are still a lot of processes in between, and it also requires a bit of luck. So if you ask me to predict this, I really can’t give you a guarantee.”
Chen Kaige knew that what Yue Guan said was right.
His disappointment was still palpable.
Seeing Chen Kaige's look, Yue was concerned: "Director Chen, I feel that your current condition is not suitable for making movies. It's too awkward. You haven't convinced yourself yet. If you make movies now, maybe literary films can be It can be made into a commercial film, and a commercial film can be made into an artistic film."
Chen Kaige smiled bitterly: "I feel the same way now."
"Let's see, Director Chen, put down your movie project first. You're not in a rush to make a movie anyway. Are you interested in taking on a small job first?" Yue Guan suggested.
Chen Kaige looked at Yue Guan with some confusion: "What kind of small job?"
"Five Star Video is going to make a show where actors compete against each other on their acting skills, similar to the format of "I Am a Singer", and then invite some great directors and movie kings and actresses to be the commentators. If you are interested, I I’ll reserve a guest spot for you, come to the variety show and have fun, and the price will definitely satisfy you.”
This project was not an idea that Yue Guan came up with after seeing Chen Kaige, but it was already there.
The ability of variety shows to attract money is getting stronger and stronger, and there is certainly no need for Five-Star Video to give up.
"The Real World" and "Celebrity Detective" have both been very successful, but no one thinks that they have too many successful projects.
The variety show model, which allows actors to compete in acting competitions, actually does not cost much money, but it is easy to hype and attract investment.
Especially if Chen Kaige is confirmed as a guest, Chen Kaige's reputation as a great director will be very useful.
Chen Kaige came to Yue Guan today to solve his doubts. Unexpectedly, Yue Guan suddenly gave him a job, and he was a little hesitant.
"Are actors' acting skills used in competition?"
"Director Chen, there are some has-been actors. If they don't perform on stage, their acting career may end here. Putting on a show to give these actors a chance to struggle again can be regarded as our doing good deeds."
Yue Guan first put on a high hat for himself, and then went on to put on the second one: "Also, when the time comes, we will select a few young popular celebrities with average acting skills but high reputations to participate in the competition, and guide these young people to practice hard. Improve your acting skills and contribute to purifying the atmosphere in the entertainment industry."
Chen Kaige: "..."
As a veteran, he said to himself, don't you just want to sacrifice these traffic stars to heaven? And he said it so grandly.
But I have to say that Chen Kaige is a little moved.
Because he thinks this show is off the charts.
Anyway, he is not in the mood to make a movie for the time being. If he takes on a variety show to change his mood, he might be able to see a different world.
However, a great director like him rarely participates in variety shows. After all, he has to maintain his integrity.
Chen Kaige was thinking this when he heard Yue Guan draw a number: "Director Chen, if you agree, this is the amount of remuneration you will receive."
Chen Kaige: "Whether it's money or not is a trivial matter. The main thing is to help actors make progress. That's what I value."
Yue Guan nodded: "Director Chen is indeed upright and upright. I will let Sister Xiang Wan and Sister Hong discuss the follow-up matters."
"Okay, by the way, Yue Guan, I have already ventilated the Golden Dragon Award this year. If you use your strength, it shouldn't be a big problem." Chen Kaige suddenly thought of the Golden Dragon Award at the end of the year.
Yue Guan smiled and nodded.
If nothing else, he is really stable this year.
The role of Di Xin in the first part of "Feng Shen" actually only allowed him to compete with several other talented actors who were also shortlisted for Best Actor. However, Yue Guan not only played Di Xin in "Feng Shen", but also played a role opposite Di Xin. The Emperor of Heaven with completely opposite images.
That's a plus.
Plus some other factors besides acting.
Yue Guan is very calm.
If you can't get it anymore, there's something shady.
…
After sending Chen Kaige away, Yue Guan took out several scripts from his study.
When Mo Xiangwan came home after get off work from the company, he saw Yue Guan flipping through the scripts and proactively asked with concern: "Are you picking the next drama you want to act in?"
"Um."
"Yue Guan, don't you want to do a variety show where actors compete with their acting skills? Or you can be a commentator for fun, so you don't have to keep filming." Mo Xiangwan suggested.
She feels that Yue Guan can now make one or two movies a year.
You don’t really need to pay too much attention to TV series.
I really want to make my face look good. Variety shows may be more effective than TV series.
But Yue Guan refused: "My acting skills are not qualified to be a guest commentator, so I won't disgrace that person. In addition, my qualifications and age are both here, so it is not suitable. Just invest some money, specific variety shows I will not participate in the recording.”
He himself prefers filming to recording variety shows.
Mo Xiangwan had nothing to do with Yue Guan.
"Okay, since you want to film, do you have any good ideas?"
"I'm still struggling at the moment. There are too many ideas and I don't know which one to choose." Yue Guan told the truth.
"Tell me about it and I'll analyze it for you."
"The first idea was to film Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty. Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty did not have a strong sense of existence in the minds of the audience, but during the Han Dynasty, he was definitely a wise emperor and there are many stories that can be explored.
The second idea is that I recently read an online novel called "The Son-in-law", which gave me some inspiration. I want to make a TV series in which a modern person travels back to the Song Dynasty to fight against the Jin Dynasty. Holding hands and leaning towards the sky, making up for regrets and writing a different history, some people should like it.
The third idea was to make a story about a human gatekeeper. "
"The gatekeepers of the world? This is the organization you plan to portray in "Secret War 1999". Aren't you planning to make a movie?"
"Marvel also has TV series in addition to movies. I can also make a TV series first to lay the foundation for the popularity of the movie. If it is to be made, it will have some science fiction style. There is a lack of such real science fiction TV series in China, but I want to make this If so, the workload will be huge.”
There were three scripts placed in front of Yue Guan.
He was also troubled.
Some actors are worried that they can't get roles.
Yue Guan is worried that he has too many choices.
Hey, life is like this, even if he is rich and handsome, he will still have troubles.
