704. Westward Journey Film and Television City

The terms of these literary and artistic film support plans announced by Wang Yifan are happy and some are worried, while others are relieved and some are suspicious.

Soon, we arrived at the reporter's Q&A session.

"Director Wang, the upper limit of a single video is 3 million, is it too low?"

"If the film project is really good, passes the review, and does require more reasonable budgets, then the insufficient part Huaxin or I will make up for the insufficient part!"

"Does Director Wang have plans to shoot literary and artistic movies?"

"Not yet. I think my own accumulation is not enough, so maybe when I think it's enough, I will try to shoot some in-depth videos."

"The funds involved in the literary and artistic film support plan are as high as 100 million yuan. Is Wang confident that he can recover the cost?"

"No, but if you lose a little money, you can see more excellent works appearing, which I think is worth it."

......

To put it bluntly, although this literary and artistic film support plan is indeed a huge benefit for many literary and artistic film workers, it still has a long way to go for the entire literary and artistic film market.

After all, the market cannot be cultivated overnight.

Wang Yifan did not spend much energy on this.

He had almost rested and was ready to start work.

"The Monkey King" is a video that Wang Yifan is preparing to take out and co-production with the island country.

Whether it is "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" or "Journey to the West", these classic Chinese masterpieces have actually had a very wide influence and are not limited to the country.

In island countries, Southeast Asia is actually very influential.

And the key is that this type of IP is a public IP, and Wang Yifan chose the Monkey King Sun Wukong.

Needless to say, the Monkey King's reputation in China is also a well-known figure in the island country.

Therefore, there is no need to worry about the audience. Of course, in Europe and the United States, there is no need to say much. After all, the Chinese myth system has a large audience in Europe and the United States. Simply put, it is too complicated and foreigners can't understand it at all.

However, it has a good foundation when it comes to island countries and pan-Chinese cultural areas.

Of course, Wang Yifan could not film according to the original story of "Journey to the West". What he wanted to film was a complete Monkey King with all emotions and desires.

In fact, the Monkey King Sun Wukong in the original work gives people the feeling that he is the least human, because he lacks one of the most extensive emotions in human society, love!

In Wang Yifan's view, the Monkey King without love is incomplete.

Of course, the original work involves a lot of Buddhist doctrines. The Monkey King Sun Wukong eventually entered the monk, so naturally there was no love.

But Wang Yifan will definitely not shoot like this when making a movie.

At this level, why don’t he want to make his favorite movies as he pleases?

"How much does the cost budget cost need?" Wang Yifan's new movie is naturally a highly anticipated existence, so Wang Yifan revealed a piece of news, and Lin Husheng couldn't wait to ask.

"This time we are also doing a big production. "The Monkey King" requires a lot of special effects shots and many sets, such as the iconic Huaguo Mountain and Water Curtain Cave, the East Sea Dragon Palace, the Heavenly Court and the South Heaven Gate, etc. These all require a lot of money. My suggestion is that it is best to cooperate with local governments to create a Journey to the West theme city." Wang Yifan said with a smile.

In fact, Wang Yifan has always been puzzled. There are so many theme cinemas in China, and Journey to the West in fact there are many places that are very suitable for making cinema buildings, but in the end, there are very few buildings in this area in China.

When Lin Husheng heard Wang Yifan’s idea, his eyes lit up.

"Journey to the West Theme Cinema? Do you think it's a big deal?" Lin Husheng asked.

"Of course, "Journey to the West" has always been an ever-lasting IP. What's rare is that this IP is a public IP. As the special effects technology becomes more and more mature, there will be more and more related film and television projects about mythology, Journey to the West, etc. in the future. If some cinemas with theme buildings in the mythological world are created, I believe there will definitely be no market." Wang Yifan said with a smile.

It can be imagined that if Wang Yifan's "The Monkey King" can be successful, then it will definitely spark a wave of Journey to the West in the future.

In fact, in terms of the domestic environment, science fiction films are the same type when you want to make big productions, and myths are also a very good choice. The key is that this is still a unique feature of China.

Therefore, if you really set up a film and television city of "Journey to the West", or those in mythological stories, such as Fangcun Mountain, Leiyin Temple, Huaguo Mountain, Water Curtain Cave, Heaven and other buildings, there will definitely be some tricks.

"Okay, you can discuss this matter with some professionals, let's talk about it back to the movie." Wang Yifan suddenly thought of the project of the Film and Television City. He was not very familiar with this aspect, but because "The Monkey King" needs to use these buildings at that time. Therefore, if the film and television city project can be completed in advance, it will naturally be twice the result with half the effort when filming the film and television city.

And it can save a lot of money. After all, if there is no ready-made scene buildings for him to shoot, he can only temporarily build these scene buildings. If it is temporarily built, although the cost will be lower, it will have to be demolished after use.

In fact, this time, it was a movie made by Huaguo Huaxin Group and Toei Island Group. Toei will definitely make a big investment, and it will definitely not be a strong party.

So Wang Yifan actually doesn't need to do so much, because the money is more from Toei, so he doesn't need to worry about whether to waste it or not.

But if you can take the opportunity to build a film and television city, it will be much more convenient to shoot movies of this kind of theme in the future.

But Lin Husheng is very interested. Huaxin has actually achieved the ultimate in content in China. Lin Husheng can say without hesitation that Huaxin is the best in content in China, no one.

However, as a comprehensive film and television media group, Huaxin's physical industry is still not perfect at present.

If we can build a film and television city of Huaxin, it means that we have taken a big step in terms of physical aspects, and in terms of improving the industrial chain, the film and television city is also a very critical link.

The key is that if the film and television city is done well, it will be a very profitable transaction.

However, Wang Yifan obviously didn't care about this.

"The preparation time should take quite a long time, so if you want to build a film and television city, it is best to hurry up and send someone to various places for inspection. Otherwise, "The Monkey King" will only be temporarily built by then." Wang Yifan added.
Chapter completed!
