Chapter 53 A sci-fi blockbuster worth tens of thousands of yuan
"Hello, Liu Yun?" Wang Zhengfei asked.
"Well, it's me, Feizi is you!" There was some noise around Liu Yun, and Wang Zhengfei guessed that she should be at a party or some other place. "It's rare to call me today. Is there something wrong?"
"Well, I have a film on hand. I wonder if you are interested in it?" Wang Zhengfei asked.
"Are you making a film?" Liu Yun asked with some confusion. You must know that the only people who come out to look for actors are the directors and producers. Wang Zhengfei is not an actor, so why should he come forward?
"Yes, I just became a director!" Wang Zhengfei said with a smile.
Liu Yun was a little dumbfounded. This span was a bit too big. In the entertainment industry, it is not that there are no actors but excellent directors. However, she had never heard of someone who only played a supporting role in one film and then became a director. And as far as she knew, Wang Zhengfei was not the same.
Born in the directing department.
"Okay, you have gotten ahead of yourself, but Feizi, there's nothing I can do about it. I'm going to film "Sweet Horse" next, and I've got most of the filming appointments for next year, so I might not be able to do anything about it!" Liu Yun said, first of all, don't worry about it.
To say whether Wang Zhengfei became a director is reliable or not is to say that she has no schedule.
"This only takes one day!" Wang Zhengfei said.
"One day, guest appearance, right? That's no problem!" Liu Yun said immediately. Liu Yun is also famous in the circle for being carefree and cheerful. He can help his friends without delaying his own schedule. This kind of thing is very important to him.
No need to think about it.
"But what kind of movie is that?" Liu Yun asked.
"It's a science fiction blockbuster with an investment of tens of thousands of yuan!" Wang Zhengfei said with a smile.
Liu Yun didn't react for a moment. These two concepts were obviously in conflict. Investing tens of thousands of yuan and science fiction blockbusters were completely unrelated words. They couldn't go together at all. As we all know,
, any movie that can be called a science fiction blockbuster will require an investment of hundreds of millions of yuan, and China is not considered to have real science fiction blockbusters.
"Ten thousand yuan? Or tens of millions of yuan?" Liu Yun asked with some uncertainty.
"Yes, it's tens of thousands of yuan!" Wang Zhengfei replied with a smile, "And the filming will be completed within one day!"
Now Liu Yun was even more confused. Forget about a sci-fi blockbuster worth tens of thousands of yuan, Yi Rang could shoot the movie in one day. Isn't this nonsense? It's not a drama, and even if it is a drama, it is not so fast.
But if it's just a guest appearance, it's still possible, but since it's just for one day, it doesn't mean anything to her.
"But the budget is limited, so the pay may not be particularly high!" Wang Zhengfei said
"That's no problem. You're talking about remuneration and not remuneration. With such a small budget, can I still care about your remuneration? Just inform me in advance!" Liu Yun said with a smile.
"Okay, that's it, thank you!" Wang Zhengfei said.
"Thank you, remember to find me next time you come to Yanjing!" Liu Yun said boldly.
After hanging up Liu Yun's phone, Wang Zhengfei breathed a sigh of relief. Among these people, he and Liu Yun naturally have the best relationship, and they usually play opposite each other. If Liu Yun doesn't agree to join in, then Wang Zhengfei really has to consider a new lineup.
Appeared.
After ending the conversation with Liu Yun, Wang Zhengfei made the next call to Huang Xiaoming.
"Hey, is Xiaoming here?"
"That's me!" Huang Xiaoming's somewhat lazy voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Xiaoming, I am Wang Zhengfei!" Wang Zhengfei said.
"Oh, is it Zhengfei? Why are you calling me now?" Huang Xiaoming chuckled.
"I have a film on hand. I wonder if you are interested?" Wang Zhengfei asked.
"Movie, what movie?" Although he said he just wanted to take a good rest after filming "Emperor 2", Wang Zhengfei asked this and he still became interested.
"It's just a science fiction film!" Wang Zhengfei said.
"Science fiction film?" Huang Xiaoming was a little confused. Recently, I haven't heard of any big director going to the trouble to make a science fiction film. Let's not talk about how much it will cost. I just said that under the pressure of today's Hollywood science fiction blockbusters, it is better to make a science fiction film.
It’s more profitable to order martial arts.
"Yes, a science fiction film with an investment of tens of thousands of yuan!" Wang Zhengfei said.
"Ten thousand yuan, a science fiction movie?" Huang Xiaoming asked a question similar to Liu Yun's, which was too nonsense.
"Yes, it doesn't take a long time, as long as you have one day!" Wang Zhengfei said.
"Okay, it's okay, just let me know when the time comes!" Huang Xiaoming agreed without thinking. To be honest, he was also very interested in this so-called science fiction blockbuster that only invested tens of thousands of yuan. What can tens of thousands of yuan do?
, it’s not even enough to pay for the film. Although he wants to rest, he can still find time in the day, and he has always been in the TV industry, but everyone knows the current situation in the TV industry. It is harder to eat than filming.
There are many movies, a lot of time is wasted, and he doesn't get much money. He has long had the idea of entering the big screen, but he just lacks an opportunity.
"Thank you! I will give you the script when the time comes!" Wang Zhengfei said.
"It's okay!" Huang Xiaoming said cheerfully.
After finishing another one, Wang Zhengfei smiled. In fact, according to the settings in the script, there are not many actors needed, and they are all simple. If you don't find stars, you can just find anyone, but stars naturally have stars.
The good thing is, although there are also many people who do not rely on stars but rely on plots to make their way to the top, and still make a few stars popular. For example, Huang Bo from "Crazy Stone" became famous through "Crazy Stone".
But this does not mean that stars play a small role in the box office of a film. With their widely praised acting skills and personality traits that are loved by audiences, stars attract a lot of attention, have box office influence and the ability to ensure investment security.
.
There is an absolute difference between stars and actors. The public will watch a movie because of the stars, but not because of the actors. This is why Andy Lau can stand in the Chinese film industry for 20 years without falling, because he is a true
star.
For example, Jay Chou, as the little king of music, his talent is undoubted. His acting ability can only be described as mediocre and his performance is dull, but his initial D and the secret that cannot be told prove that he is a star with huge box office appeal.
.
For example, Huang Xiaoming, after he joined Huayi, with his strong popularity accumulated in TV series and solid acting skills, he is also a star with huge box office appeal potential.
The current Huang Xiaoming and Liu Yun are not artists with extremely high box office appeal, but as they continue to grow and accumulate popularity, it is only a matter of time.
Movies with stars and movies without stars are naturally different, and Wang Zhengfei knows this very well.
