Wang Zhengfei hasn't thought about assistants yet. Why would he need an assistant when he has the skills? But when the work becomes busy in the future, he may or may not need one. When he is so busy, he really needs such a person to help him. Let him have a basic idea.
After returning to the topic, Wang Zhengfei began to really think about the route of Star Entertainment. After all, according to the contract, he has 20% of the shares, and Star Entertainment can also be regarded as his company. Now Star Entertainment does not have much liquidity. If he wants to film As for movies, we can only work in the direction of low-cost movies, but even for low-cost movies, the two million is indeed a little less. As far as Wang Zhengfei knows, "Crazy Stone", which is famous for its low-cost movies, also The cost is almost 4 million. Of course, if it is a romantic literary film or the like, and you don’t hire any big-name directors and actors, it may not be enough. But even if it is enough, where will the subsequent publicity expenses come from?
Two million is still too much to make a movie. After all, not to mention movie equipment and the like, these can all be rented, but the location, personnel expenses, and film remuneration are all piled up. Heap problem.
Wang Zhengfei has countless good movies in his mind, but the prerequisite is money. Without money, everything is useless.
Wang Zhengfei thought for a while, what kind of movie can Xingchen Entertainment afford now?
Suddenly the name of a movie popped into Wang Zhengfei's mind, "This Man is from the Earth".
If a person tells you that he has lived for 140 centuries, was a caveman, had the opportunity to sail with Columbus, listened to music with Beethoven, painted with Van Gogh, and listened to the teachings of Gautama Buddha, he is a good person. ---Jesus, possessing wisdom accumulated over time, one day you suddenly find that he is a friend of yours, a colleague who has been with you for many years. What would you think? Question him with countless questions? Or do you believe him? Ask His numerous questions?
"The Man from Earth" tells the story of a 35-year-old Harvard history professor who suddenly resigned after working for ten years. His colleagues were puzzled. They held an impromptu gathering at his home and urged him to explain. But the reason John proposed To their surprise: John claimed that he was immortal, had lived for 14,000 years, and could not stay in one place for more than 10 years, otherwise his secret would be discovered. Faced with John's remarks, everyone began to question him...
Basically, this is a pseudo-sci-fi film with the guise of a science-fiction blockbuster. The lasers and spaceships that were commonly seen in sci-fi blockbusters in the past are nowhere to be found here. There are no dazzling stunts, and no one needs them. The protagonist goes to rescue, and a few sofas, a stove, and a few scholars start a conversation. The entire film uses language to explain the plot.
It is not uncommon to see a single scene with several people sitting in front of the fire talking about a certain topic, such as Xu Jinglei's "Dreams Come to Reality". From a film perspective, it is very difficult to shoot such a film. If there are any breakthroughs, whether it is character scheduling or empty shots, it will appear to be quite satisfactory.
However, for Wang Zhengfei and Xingchen Entertainment, film art and breakthroughs are still too far away. For Wang Zhengfei, getting good box office at low cost is the biggest goal.
And the most important thing is that the cost of this legendary science fiction blockbuster is very low, only US$10,000. Even a company like Star Entertainment can complete it.
This movie made a very deep impression on Wang Zhengfei at the time. Before this, Wang Zhengfei really didn’t know that there was such a low-cost movie, and it still had the name of a science fiction blockbuster. Although it was a pseudo-sci-fi blockbuster, it was the only one.
The problem is that this movie is an adaptation of the original novel.
And it is essentially a Western movie, so even if the copyright is bought, it is not suitable for a Chinese remake.
However, "This Man is from Earth" gave Wang Zhengfei an inspiration, so he simply stopped making remakes and made his own films.
When Wang Zhengfei thought of this, he quickly thought that he had to change this environment to China.
The protagonist is one of the 500 boys and girls who followed Xu Fu when he went to sea to search for the elixir. After several years of searching overseas for the elixir, the boy grew up to be a teenager. Due to an accidental reason, he ate the elixir originally given to Qin Shihuang.
From then on he became immortal.
He once transformed into Zhang Liang to help Liu Bang defeat Xiang Yu, and also used the alias Huo Qubing to attack the Huns from a distance.
He once drank wine with Li Bai and discussed martial arts, and he once recited poems over wine with Su Dongpo.
Because of his immortality, he cannot stay in one place for a long time and has to move every once in a while. In an accident, a group of colleagues came to the protagonist's home as guests and found that the protagonist's home was full of antiques that seemed real and fake.
They all start with the protagonist from a well-off family background telling his story.
In the meantime, various doubts and inquiries came to mind.
The plot of the story remains roughly the same, but the plot has completely changed. All the reasons and explanations must be presented in a convincing manner. After all, this is basically a brand new story.
(I have to mention this. This script is all my own creation. There is no corresponding movie. Last time I wrote a Xiao Chen version of "The Myth". Maybe it was too detailed. Many people asked me,
Where can I go to read this "Myth"? Old book friends may still have some impressions that Lin Ping sang a song "A Man's Journey" at his concert. Many book friends asked me where to download it to listen, cough cough.
, those are all false, I wrote them myself, I don’t know if there are any masters in composing music to help me compose the music!)
After having this idea, Wang Zhengfei did not hesitate and told Gao Yan immediately. When Gao Yan heard that it was a science fiction blockbuster, he immediately frowned. However, after hearing Wang Zhengfei's idea in court, especially knowing that it only required an investment of 10,000 to 20,000 yuan.
When I could do it in just one dollar, I immediately became interested.
Originally, this was a story that relied on plot. The stories could be said to be interlocking and fascinating. Gao Yan was easily attracted by this seemingly true story.
Ten to twenty thousand yuan, even if it was doubled, it would not be a burden to him. It was just a matter of raising his hand. Even if it failed, it would not matter, and it would not affect other plans. At least this story sounds better than those
The scripts collected are much more interesting.
But this is just a preliminary idea. There are still a lot of things to do to actually write a script. At least every link must withstand scrutiny. After all, this is a science fiction blockbuster with a winning plot, and ordinary science fiction movies have poor plots.
Main Street, rely on special effects to win.
