Chapter 508 Preparation(1/2)
Of the three new dramas, Jing Yu can be said to have not played the leading role in any of them. Mainly, he felt that it was wrong for him to be a person over thirty years old and to play these high school students all day long.
In fact, it’s not that I won’t act. Anyway, no one complained about the performance during the whole week, and it was still very photogenic. But I just try to play as few high school students as possible. If I film some works in the future and I really can’t find suitable actors, it doesn’t mean I won’t act.
, but just now...he is indeed not interested in the characters in the three dramas.
Of course, according to Digari, Da Gu is actually an adult, and Jing Yu plays the role without any pressure. However, how can I say this type of Ultraman? It is too shameful to compare postures in the drama. Jing Yu does not want to watch it ten or twenty years later.
In the TV series I acted in, I saw myself holding a spark prism and shouting "Tiga!", and then transformed into Ultraman...
This kind of thing looks cool in fantasy, but in reality it's so shameful.
As for Attack on Titan and Mobile Suit Gundam, Jing Yu simply didn’t like the male protagonists of the two works. Allen was too different in the later stages of the original work. Even though Jing Yu was ready to change the ending in the Dazhou version, his preconceived impression was that
I still don’t like this character in my heart, as for Gundam S
Let’s not talk about the male protagonist of Seed. When Jing Yu first watched Seed, he once hoped that the second male lead would kill him. The early plot was draggy and half-virgin, but Seed’s supporting roles are really great. Otherwise, this work would not be so popular, but
But I like the supporting characters in both works very much...
But with his current popularity, playing a supporting role in a drama would be too overwhelming, so Jing Yu gave up on the idea and stopped making guest appearances.
However, as a company owner, it is necessary to regularly go to the studio to supervise the filming.
During the release of Your Name by Jingyu, the casting of the three works was also in place.
Nowadays, in the film and television drama industry, there are basically no actors that Blue Star Film and Television Company cannot hire. Although the remuneration is low, in fact, participating in plastic surgery is very luxurious.
In the three works, as long as there are characters with names and surnames, at least third-tier actors can win the roles at a fraction of the normal salary.
But when they saw Jing Yu, they didn't complain at all. On the contrary, they all warmly approached Jing Yu.
Everyone is not stupid. When Tang Rui was filming the Destiny series, she was paid hundreds of thousands, but now she relies on the role of Artoria. The price of attending a commercial performance starts at 2 million. Such a high appearance fee, and a
There are constant invitations every month. She was even on the list of movie star earnings last year. One year after her debut, her total income exceeded 50 million, which is higher than many first-line movie star stars...
He played a role in Jing Yu's work, but he was stupid enough to care about the salary. He was definitely not even a third-tier actor.
Several senior directors in the industry hired by the company saw Jing Yu coming and quickly came up to talk to Jing Yu.
Jing Yu was not too interested in the filming of Attack on Titan and Gundam Seed. This kind of special effects drama was just a green screen on the set, and the special effects were synthesized in post. He had filmed several such works, and they all made him vomit. There was nothing new at all.
.
It’s just that special effects dramas like Ultraman...
Jing Yu looked at the city model that had been arranged on the set. He asked the manufacturer to customize the houses, cars, and road models in advance. After placing them in appropriate proportions, he made people wearing Ultraman leather suits and monsters in the entire studio.
Stuntman in leather suit makes entrance.
The low-dose gunpowder arranged in advance explodes and burns during the fight, creating an explosion effect. The camera shoots upward as much as possible to highlight the hugeness of the monsters and Ultraman...
If you want to photograph a house that was crushed by a monster, you have to use a custom-made plaster model of the house. The house is cut in advance so that it can be broken when it is broken. A pile of newspapers is placed inside. Then when the house is crushed, it will appear as if the entire building has collapsed.
sense of perspective.
Apply talcum powder on your body, and when you fight, smoke will explode on your body, making it look like a powerful blow.
Jing Yu looked at it, his eyes shining.
Although he would feel ashamed to be asked to film Ultraman, it is really fun to watch other people film it.
"How do you feel? Are there any difficulties during filming?" Jing Yu sat next to him and asked director Wang Yifei.
"No...there's no problem, it's not difficult to shoot, it's just..." Wang Yifei thought for a while and said.
"It's not very clear, will the audience of this type of TV series buy it?"
He also followed Jing Yu's suggestion to shoot. Of course, Jing Yu only proposed a plan based on the general shooting method of his previous life, and he decided the actual details himself.
However, Dazhou had never seen a tokusatsu drama before, and he was actually worried about it...
"Don't worry, it's me who decided to make this type of work. If the time comes, I won't blame you." Jing Yu said.
Not to mention Wang Yifei's lack of confidence, Jing Yu himself may not have the confidence that Ultraman will be popular in the big week.
Although his previous works performed well during the Great Week, no one can guarantee that this situation will last forever.
Many things can only be approximated.
Jing Yu looked towards the studio, but he didn't hang around here for too long. After a while, he went to the Gundam Seed studio to see...
Relatively speaking, the filming of Gundam was a little simpler. Most of the ninja were rehearsing scenes in a studio that was arranged in advance. The protagonist Yamato appeared to be fighting enemies, but in fact he was just reading his lines in a closed cockpit model.
All the battle scenes in the entire show...are all special effects.
There is no way, no way, no money and no conditions to actually build some Gundams for real-life shooting. That would be too exaggerated.
Attack on Titan is even more impressive. The studio area is very large, and the set inside is also like a medieval house. The entire studio is filled with two-digit people hanging wires, flying around in the air...
Jing Yu has invested nearly one billion in it, and the three studios combined have a very large area. Basically, there is a large group of reporters waiting outside the studio every day to see if any news can be broken.
After Jing Yu wandered around for a while, he left on his own, so that everyone from the director to the actors felt uncomfortable with his presence, as if the class teacher was watching the door at class.
In mid-to-late January, the filming of the three dramas also started to get on track. Jing Yu still released relevant information about the three dramas from time to time as before. Anyway, the fans' appetite continued to whet.
On the other hand, Your Name finally began to decline at the box office. After more than 20 days of release, the total box office officially exceeded 2.6 billion. However, after that, the box office performance became an average of 30 to 50 million per day.
And on the twenty-fourth day of its release, finally... Your Name's consecutive single-day box office crown since its release was finally squeezed out by a new movie.
Seeing this situation, Jing Yuhe let out a long sigh.
Sure enough, it's not that easy.
Your Name was in Japan Island in the previous life and maintained the box office championship in Japan Island region.
But during the Great Week, the box office number one in film history was as high as 5.9 billion.
Judging from the current situation, the total box office of your name is probably just over 3 billion, and there is a high probability that you will be among the top eight in the film and television box office list of the big week.
"Sure enough, the subtle differences in the taste of the work in different planes and countries will cause great changes in the performance of the work."
But in other words, this situation also made Jing Yu feel reasonable.
After all, Dazhou is Dazhou, not a large Japanese island.
The score of Your Name will most likely stop at 3 billion, which also gives Jing Yu a rough estimate of the score of his subsequent release of Castle in the Sky.
In terms of the quality of the original work, Jing Yu personally feels that Castle in the Sky is superior to Your Name, but how it performs when it is actually released in the big week depends on whether Miyazaki Hayao becomes popular in the big week.
As time goes by...
The daily box office of Your Name also dropped from 40 million, to 30 million, to 25 million, to 20 million...
The die-hard fans of Your Name have finally calmed down after nearly a month of carnival.
"It's a pity that the box office can only stop at 3.5 billion."
"What's such a pity? The old thief invested 100 million in this movie and the box office was more than 3 billion. He made a lot of money."
"I mean, actually, the few high-grossing movies with your name on it are not as good as this one, but..."
"Box office and artistry often come down to one or the other. Most of the movies that are recognized as world classics failed at the box office. Although I like Your Name, strictly speaking, it is an excellent fantasy love movie, and it is not as good as those movies with the theme of fantasy love."
After watching it, compared to movies that are thought-provoking and reflect social contradictions, class conflicts, and philosophy, your title is obviously not artistic enough."
"Taking it all together, this movie is already very good. The plot is also touching and commercial. The most important thing is to maximize the number of viewers. The old thief is now enlightened and knows how to play sadistic games like Kenshin and Love Letter before.
, naturally means abandoning a large part of the audience.”
"I am now looking forward to the old thief's Castle in the Sky ten days later..."
"Well, since the old thief went to make movies, I feel that I have less fun in the day. He only makes two or three movies a year. I would rather watch him make two or three TV series. At least they last longer."
"Stop being picky, how long have you been thinking about these things? The old thief is now worth several billion, and he is pretty good without retirement. What else do you want him to do? I am him. He has been lying dead at home for a long time, relying on the interest on his savings.
You have lived like a waste all your life, and you still work hard?"
"That's right..."
....
As the popularity of the movie decreases, the viewers of Your Name gradually clear their minds.
The two major periods, New Year's Day and Spring Festival, are generally connected together.
More than a month after New Year's Day, it is the Spring Festival in the old calendar of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
At this moment, your name is still hot, but the entire film and television industry has begun to promote the Spring Festival movies.
Seven of the top ten movies on the weekend box office list are from the Spring Festival period, which shows the importance of this period. Every year, heavyweight big-budget movies, and movies that are confident of hitting box office records, will only choose to release during this period.
Jing Yu's Blue Star Film and Television Culture Company also spent tens of millions of promotional fees and box office subsidies in just a few days.
However, Castle in the Sky does not have Jing Yu as the lead, but Jing Yu as the villain...
However, the employees of the company's publicity department didn't care so much and insisted on elevating the villain played by Jing Yu, who has a small role in the drama, to the same status as the protagonist in the promotional trailers and posters, occupying the C position on the promotional page.
This is the problem that Jing Yu has always been worried about. The actor who plays the protagonist Bass in Castle in the Sky is also a very popular and capable young actor in Dazhou. But compared with Jing Yu in the same drama, the film and television of Castle in the Sky
In forum discussion posts, his name appears less than one-tenth of Jing Yu's.
There is an obvious gap in popularity, so in terms of publicity, we can only pull out Jing Yu and highlight him.
As an important supporting actor, Jing Yu also started a new round of movie release promotion at the end of January.
To be continued...
