Chapter 175 Big Names "Asking for Monthly Ticket Support"

When Fan Wubing returned to the company, Xia Donghai was leading a group of people to study the script of "Mythology".

"Mr. Fan, I revised the script. What do you think of the added plot?" Xia Donghai immediately approached Fan Wubing and dragged him to read the script.

Anyway, Fan Wubing is the big boss and also an investor, so he has to see it and agree to it before he can arrange it with the director. Instead of waiting until Fan Wubing vetoes it, it is better to start now. Let him take a look at it, and there will be nothing to say in the future.

Fan Wubing took a closer look at the new script, and found that only a part of Fengping's plot was added to the domestic part. Xia Donghai got in touch with Fengping in the past two days, and found that this girl is very malleable, and has a An innate ability to charm all living beings, so a villain was added to him.

Although it is a villain, but in many cases, as long as the villain is played well, it is easier to shine. Fan Wubing appreciates Xia Donghai's changes very much, so after watching it, he keeps saying yes.

"Then finalize the draft according to this!?" Xia Donghai said proudly. *****

This time, Fan Wubing refused to take credit for the script, so he asked Xia Donghai to act as the screenwriter. Therefore, Xia Donghai worked very hard to refine the rough outline drawn by Fan Wubing, and added some new things. , always want to be perfect.

The most critical part is actually to shoot the fantasy part of the fight. Regarding this part, Fan Wubing asked them to prepare the details, disassemble them, and then hand them over to the professionals from the American company. Deal with it, after all, the equipment over there is much better than that in China, and the computer stunt talents are far better than those in China.

"About filming. There are probably several places, one is Xi'an, the other is Hengdian, the other is Dunhuang, and some need to be shot by the seaside, but the main part is still done here in Hengdian." Xia Xia Donghai said to Fan Wubing.

Fan Wubing flipped through the plan they got out. He pondered and asked, "How is the construction going on in Hengdian?"

After he spent a large sum of money there, he never went to see it again, so what exactly did the Hengdian film and television base look like. ^^^^ Can it be put into use? He knew nothing about these questions.

When the Hengdian film and television base was mentioned, Xia Donghai's interest was aroused, and Fan Wubing said very enthusiastically, "President Fan, I have already been to Hengdian. It is really perfect, basically the style of various dynasties in history. The buildings are all there. The features are very strong! In the future, when we shoot films, we can basically do it in one place, and we don’t need to go to other places! It seems that the funds in their plan have not been spent yet. Now they are planning to build Hong Kong Street, which is estimated to be in 1997 Sometimes there will be some blockbusters shooting together, and then this place will come in handy!"

Fan Wubing thought to himself,

It's not just 1997, 1999 is the 50th anniversary of the National Day, and there will be more films presented as gifts. It’s just that it’s too early to talk about it at this time, and thinking that there will be a wave of costume film shooting in a few years, the city buildings of various dynasties in Hengdian Film and Television Base are exactly what they need most for shooting large-scale costume films.

"By the way, is the starring role ready?" Fan Wubing asked the question he was most concerned about.

The leading role can be regarded as the soul of a movie. In fact, most movies have the same tone, but if the same tone is performed by different actors, different effects will be obtained. ^^^^ Others are also down. But for Jackie Chan, Liang Jiahui and Sun Zhou, Fan Wubing asked Xia Donghai to invite them over.

Or this is also an obsession. He didn't want to mess with the film he knew.

"Jackie Chan and Sun Zhou want to watch the film, there shouldn't be any problem, but Liang Jiahui has already agreed. I wanted to tell you about this a long time ago, but there was no free time, and I couldn't remember it when I saw you. "Xia Donghai replied.

The star paths of these three big names are different.

Jackie Chan was the first to become popular. After his debut in 1975, many films came out, especially the works released after 1987, such as "Brothers and Tigers", "Sequel to Project A", "Flying Dragon", " "Police Story Sequel", "Miracle", "Flying Eagle Project", etc., all have a box office of more than 30 million, and the Japanese market is also quite good.

Last year, I filmed "Double Dragon", and I am currently filming "Police Story Level 3 Police" directed by Tang Jili. It can be said that I am a busy man. ^^^^

Jackie Chan started to enter the Hollywood market as early as 1982, but his journey to the international market was not smooth. His second film "Cannonball Run" failed at the box office, and he has not been able to achieve his wish until now.

Fan Wubing was thinking that this big production of his own might allow Jackie Chan to break into Hollywood two years earlier. After all, when "Mythology" came out, it was a huge hit.

Sun Zhou is a bit different, he is actually a director, and many of his works have won awards at home and abroad, but what Fan Wubing likes about him is his talent as a villain, so he strongly invites him to appear in the film. The big villain in the world, just in the latest stage, he can still make time to come.

Of course, Fan Wubing offered a very high price, which was one of the reasons why he was tempted.

Compared with these two, Liang Jiahui's star path is a bit tortuous.

His acting career began with playing tricks for Zhou Run. In 1981, Liang Jiahui was admitted to the tenth artist training class of Hong Kong TVB, and he and Andy Lau were classmates. ***** Zhou Xingchi failed the exam this year, and was admitted together with Tony Leung in the second year.

Liang Jiahui and Andy Lau were in the TVB training class in the early days. During a rehearsal, the director asked Liang Jiahui and Andy Lau to be Chow Yun's assistants. Liang Jiahui stayed up all night and racked his brains to figure out how to perform. On the second day, when the director started filming, Liang Jiahui was dressed in black and sunglasses, domineering, immediately stole the limelight from Chow Yun and Andy Lau, which made the director feel very depressed.

But the reality is always ruthless. When Andy Lau's "The Legend of Condor Heroes" was broadcast on TVB, Liang Jiahui received a ruthless contract termination letter.

Later, Liang Jiahui successively served as a fashion model and magazine editor. He was taken by the great director Li Hanxiang. Liang Jiahui never expected that one year he would be scolded for playing tricks, and the next year he would step into the film industry. When Liang Jiahui received a call from Li Hanxiang from Beijing, he thought that Li Hanxiang asked him to be an assistant director or assistant director.

He felt that he had nothing to do anyway, and he would not suffer a loss if he could go to Beijing for a whole year and follow a great director. When he arrived in Beijing, Li Hanxiang asked him to shave his head to play Emperor Xianfeng.

After filming Li Hanxiang's "Listen to the Government" and "Burning the Old Summer Palace", the 26-year-old Leung Ka Fai won the Best Actor in the third Hong Kong Film Awards for "Listen to the Government" and became the youngest in the history of the Awards actor. However, at that time, Taiwan's Cultural Affairs Bureau had a rule that all actors who had made movies in the Mainland would be banned in Taiwan. Tony Leung Ka-fai became the best actor at a young age, and suddenly became the target of the Taiwan authorities. The Taiwan company asked him to write a letter of repentance, but he was unwilling. Therefore, in Taiwan, any film in which he starred was not allowed to enter the theaters.

Not being able to enter Taiwan's movie theaters means losing a large chunk of box office revenue, so Hong Kong film companies dare not ask him to make films. Liang Jiahui, whose career was not going well, changed his career to design, and set up street vendors with a group of friends who were engaged in art, selling jewelry and handicrafts, and also looked out for unlicensed vendors.

Later, it was Chow Yun who interceded for him, and then the ban was lifted in Taiwan and he was able to continue his acting career.

Last year, he starred in eight films, and this year's film appointments are also constant. He was able to agree to the film appointment of New Silk Road Company because he read the script of the film and felt that the film was likely to enter the international market.

After all, if you want to enter the international market, one is to make a big production, the other is to have unique features, and the third is to create some fake technology, so as to bluff people.

Jackie Chan is very popular in Japan, Leung Ka Fai is very popular in Taiwan, and also has a high reputation in mainland China, and the addition of Sun Zhou will at least attract more attention to this blockbuster in the circle of film critics.

Fan Wubing's calculations were indeed very precise, and Xia Donghai had never thought of these problems.

To use Fan Wubing's words to describe it, the social status of celebrities sometimes cannot truly reflect their artistic level, but there are also some celebrities who can display a value far beyond their social status after being combined, giving rich investment This is also an important reason why he spared no expense to invite these three to join.

Without the most suitable actors, this blockbuster movie can only become a bad movie with a huge investment. As for wanting to recover the investment or even get a huge profit, it is even more idiotic.

"By the way, Chen Bisong and the others will be back soon. Are you planning to let her sing the theme song of the myth?" Xia Donghai asked.

"This question is a bit hesitating." Fan Wubing scratched his head, feeling a bit hard to choose for a while.
