Chapter 443 Are You Gone? Don’t Know Yourself?(2/3)
During the conversation, Ah Wei took out a red envelope and handed it to Jake Ma. Lao Ma hurriedly declined and did not dare to take up the topic. Just kidding, can his friendship with Nicholas and Jim Carrey be used casually? Friendship is only used once.
, the friendship is weak.
Seeing this, Lao Wu said, "Let's see, it's almost noon, let's go to the nearby Lucky Shop to have a hot pot meal? By the way, do you also want to read the script? If you read the script and think it's good, let's talk about whether we contact you
Those two?"
Jack then asked curiously, "What script is it?"
Wu Yusen explained excitedly, "In 1945, Li Mei bombed Tokyo, burning 220,000 acres of urban housing in Tokyo, factories including part of the Imperial Palace area, burning more than 90 major cities in the island country, killing 500,000 people and 8 million people.
The devils have no home."
"This is a movie that pretends to be the largest modern incendiary war in history. The actual core is an anti-war theme. It highlights love and life under a huge and destructive battle. It is very exciting."
"Have you seen my "Blood on the Street"? It also describes a lot of things about the Vietnam War and a lot of big scenes. But with the new script (Li Mei! Li Mei!), the big scenes must be upgraded to many levels."
"It is estimated that it will cost a lot of money to build a wooden house city. If Nicholas or Jim Carrey is willing to star, it will be easier to attract investment. Don't worry, you can also go abroad to play some roles, such as the emperor of the island country who escaped from the burning war?
"
Jack looked shocked, "Such a big project? How many billions will be invested? I play the role of the emperor of an island country?"
Lao Wu happily hugged Jack's shoulders, "Let's go eat first, eat... Are you Peter Chen from (Sisterly Love)? Come on, let's go eat together."
Although the main hit this time is through Jack Ma, Nicholas or Jim Carrey, since Jack came out with Fan Wei, he does know that (Sister Love) is still in the screening period and the box office response is very good.
In less than 20 days, the box office of Hong Kong Haowan exceeded 40 million Hong Kong dollars, the box office of Star, Matai and Thailand was more than 70 million Hong Kong dollars, and the island and Korea were more than 50 million. The total box office was more than 160 million Hong Kong dollars.
The data is far inferior to that of Young and Dangerous 2. That movie took in a total box office of more than 300 million Hong Kong dollars in large regions. The overall trend is still towards the first film's 400 million breakthrough.
But (Sisterly Love) was released in Wanjia Cinemas in Mainland China!
In less than 20 days, it has already earned more than 300 million yuan in box office in the Mainland. This is something that Young and Dangerous cannot chase.
Even if he only plays a supporting role of a scumbag, Fan Wei can be said to have captured the hearts of countless movie fans to a certain extent.
Fan Wei still wanted to give in, but Jack Ma took Lao Fan's arm and said, "Teacher Fan, let's go. When the time comes, you can also help me read the script. You are my teacher in this regard."
I have to say that after just a few words, Jack was already hooked by the big carrot!
If he really followed Wu Yusen's description, how many billions of dollars would it cost to shoot a blockbuster? Apart from anything else, at least he knew that if you paid enough for a serious blockbuster, Nicholas would love to take it.
As long as you give him a salary of 10 million US dollars, do you think Nicholas will act? If this is done, the matter is almost half successful. With Nicholas joining, no matter where he goes, it will be a powerful weapon to attract financial backers.
That’s the little Green Goblin in the first and second parts of (Spider-Man), which have grossed more than 800 million US dollars at the global box office!!
With the strong joining of the Little Green Goblin, as long as the quality of the script is up to standard, it is not particularly difficult to swindle money. Can he play the role of the emperor of an island country in such a blockbuster? Is it true that he has such a green look?
Regardless of whether it works or not, playing a supporting role in a blockbuster movie is an important resume and achievement.
Money? You shouldn’t be given too little, right? At least you should be paid in Hong Kong dollars in units of 10,000 yuan? This is all money.
Just like Fan Wei's guest appearance in Young and Dangerous 3, the guest appearance fee was 10,000 yuan, but his old horse guest appearance only got 1,000 yuan, and it was just a box lunch.
In a short period of time, Jack's mentality has become even more energetic than that of Lao Wu and Ah Wei, having attracted Nicholas and Jim Carrey to film (Li Mei! Li Mei!).
Because even if Director Wu fails to make the film, the worst he can do is to pay compensation of 5 million Hong Kong dollars, or use a pseudonym to make an art film in a valley next to Hollywood. He is the director and does not need to show his face.
Once upon a time (The Bloody Two Heroes) succeeded, the millions of red envelopes given to him by Xiang Laoshi still allowed him to have enough to eat and drink in a short period of time.
But for Jack, this project is already the closest golden opportunity for him to achieve financial freedom and a class leap!
………………
April 10th.
Zhao Donghuai drove his custom-made extra-large RV to the Qin Palace complex in a suburb of Wushi. He got out of the car and took a few glances. He couldn't help but sigh, "Talent, this Qin Palace is quite well built."
Jennifer Connelly nodded and said, "It is indeed beautiful and majestic. Speaking of which, Jiang Wen and Director Chen's (Jing Ke Assassins the King of Qin) has been filming for so long. Is it almost finished?"
In April 1991, when Director Chen was still waiting for "Farewell My Concubine" to compete for various trophies at the Cannes Film Festival, he was drinking with Zheng Jiachun, Jiang Wen and others and talked about the idea and script of "Jing Ke Assassins the King of Qin".
Zhao Donghuai backhandedly inserted Jiang Wen into the role as the protagonist, and also served as half of the director. The purpose was to make Jiang Wen suppress Lao Chen and stop him from messing around.
After the floods in East China in 1991, when the construction of the Qin Palace began in July, he did not expect that Lao Chen and Jiang Wen did not choose Hengdian in the original trajectory, but chose Wushi.
This place is not close to the Three Kingdoms Water Margin Film and Television City, but another suburb. The main reason is that it is not close to the huge Taihu Lake. The construction took seven or eight months, and it took until the spring of 1992 to complete the construction.
Therefore, it has been almost a year since the official filming of the movie (Jing Ke Assassins the King of Qin) started.
The Qin Palace in front of you is similar to the original one, covering an area of 800 acres, with 27 majestic palaces and palaces, and a construction area of hundreds of thousands square meters.
It's really...
It has been used for shooting scenes for countless film and television projects in the future, including the original track (Xun Qin Ji) (The Great Emperor of Han Wu) (Wuji) (Emperor of the Han Dynasty) and even (The Legend of Lu Zhen) (The Legend of Ancient Swords) (The Legend of Wu Mei Niang), etc., all are here
It was filmed in the Qin Palace.
This is one of the biggest and most important foundations of Hengdian Studios.
Now there is no market... There is nothing wrong with it. After all, the rise of Hengdian is not only due to the Qin Palace, but also to the local leaders' long-term promotion of various tourist film and television attractions for free supply to a large number of film crews, which made it popular.
Secondly, Jiang Wen had half of the decision-making power on the palace construction this time. Lao Chen was still awkwardly considering where to build the palace. In order to hurry up, Jiang Wen decided to go to Wushi. Anyway, Zhao Donghuai was repairing in Wushi.
Come on, the Three Kingdoms Water Margin Movie and Television City is not bad at all.
Also, no city has an airport!!
Sunan Shuofang International Airport was built in 1956. It was used only for military purposes and not for civilian use until the 1990s.
The original trajectory was not until 2004 when civilian air routes were opened here.
In this dimension, since the Water Margin of the Three Kingdoms film and television city has been built one after another, including the underground palace complex of Loulan Ancient City in (Ci Ling), along with the continuous promotion of film and television projects.
For those who come to Wushi, the craze for traveling to Taihu Lake is getting higher and higher.
Traveling? Flying is the fastest way.
There are also many enthusiastic tourists from Hong Kong, South Korea and Hong Kong who come to spend foreign exchange to stimulate tourism consumption. After many discussions between the parties, Shuofang Airport opened for civil flights in 1991.
After leaving the airport, it is only ten kilometers away from the city center of Wushi!
With such a short distance, it is very appropriate for the Qin Palace to be built in a city-less suburb. At least the transportation is convenient. However, the airport over Hengdian did not open to air traffic until 2018.
There is a big difference in convenience whether there is an airport or not.
Of course, Zhao Donghuai appeared here today, not to visit the team specifically (Jing Ke Assassins the King of Qin), but to have been captured by Xiaoxian (The Legend of the Condor Heroes). For example, Li Mochou, played by Xiaoxian, killed all the people in Lujiazhuang, that is
Filming at Water Margin Film and Television City...
The Water Margin Film and Television City is the streetscape and architectural structure of the Northern Song Dynasty. Even if the story of the Legend of the Condor Heroes takes place in the Southern Song Dynasty, it still does not prevent a Lujiazhuang location. To be blunt, many of the filming locations for this version of the story will be in the Water Margin Film and Television City.
shoot.
Of course, when it comes to Zhongnan Mountain, Quanzhen Sect, etc., you must go to Zhongnan Mountain to shoot.
Shooting in ancient cities like Xiangyang is a detailed analysis.
Wang Zuxian grasps the big plan and becomes the producer, director Li Tiansheng, Bai Gu, Li Ruotong and other stars gather together? This version should be the most classic. In the future, even if An Feng grows up, he will at most chase it.
In this version, An Feng’s mother plays Huang Rong! Huang Rihua plays Guo Jing!
Zhao Donghuai, Connelly, Ah Xin and others came here just to see Xiaoxian so that she would not feel bored after filming, so they came to Wushi. After they came, they remembered the movie (Jing Ke Assassins Qin) that they had been filming for a year?
That means just stopping by.
A moment later, with the relevant leaders taking the lead as tour guides, a group of people entered the Qin Palace. After receiving the news, Jiang Wen, Lao Chen, Gong Li, Zhang Fengyi and other creatives also quickly came out to greet them.
Zhao Donghuai laughed when he saw Jiang Wen's red face and refreshing look, "Awen, it seems you are having a great time shooting here."
In a word, everyone cheered in unison, and Jiang Wen even nodded after laughing, "Zhao Sheng, we will be able to complete the filming in May at the latest, and we don't need too many special effects in post-production, because too many of them are real." shoot."
"I feel like I can still catch up on the summer season."
Zhao Donghuai said in surprise, "The summer schedule is easy to say, but the filming is too slow and we won't be able to catch up with this year's Cannes International Film Festival? I'm still very optimistic about you, and I think you can compete for awards."
Jiang Wen was stunned, and Gong Li, Zhang Fengyi and others were also a little shocked, but the next moment Jiang Wen nodded, "Okay, we will try to finish filming in late April and have the finished product in early May, as long as Lao Chen doesn't cause any trouble for me. .”
"Actually, it was very quick to shoot."
Lao Chen was so angry that he wanted to blow his beard and glare, "I'm going to make a fuss with you?" Forget it, you can't offend Zhao Sheng by offending anyone, otherwise how could you still be in the film industry?
It was more than a year ago. The movie officially started shooting in the spring of 1992, but in fact, in July 1991, after the floods passed, he and Jiang Wen started to quarrel for a few days, and even started fighting after a few days.
When it comes to tossing people, he, Jiang Wen, is as confident as anyone.
In more than a year, he did it!!
In this version (Jing Ke Assassins the King of Qin), Lao Chen once again sadly became a ruthless filming machine, with no room for self-expression and play. He was so angry that he cried!!
Anyway, he had already decided that after filming Jing Ke, he would never have to deal with Jiang Wen again in his life.
We have been arguing for more than a year, and he has never been so angry in his life!
This version is just as Jiang Wen described back then, Jing Ke assassinated the King of Qin. It is Jing Ke's highest honor that Jing Ke's name can be left in the movie title.
Jing Ke was just an insignificant and fragile blow on behalf of those who resisted in the context of Qin Shihuang destroying six kingdoms and sweeping across the world, using the same chariots and writings, creating the unification of China, attacking the Xiongnu in the north, and conquering Baiyue in the south.
As fragile as a mantis trying to block a car...
When Jing Ke's assassination occurred, Jiang Wen, the first emperor, smashed the crown on his head in a domineering manner, hindering Jing Ke's efficiency, and then calmly watched as the guards gathered to surround Jing Ke.
Throughout the whole process, King Qin was as calm as a lion king or a tiger king who could not express his anger.
To be continued...
