Chapter 175 The big names

Chapter 175 Big names

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

"Mr. Fan, I have modified the script. What do you think of the plot that is added now?" Xia Donghai immediately approached Fan Wubing and pulled him to read the script.

Anyway, Fan Wubing is a big boss and an investor. He has to watch something and then approve it before he can get it to the director. Instead of waiting until he is rejected by Fan Wubing, it is better to let him take a look at it now, and there is nothing to say in the future.

Fan Wubing took the new script and looked carefully, and found that only part of Feng Ping's plot was added to the domestic part. Xia Donghai and Feng Ping had a contact in the past two days and found that the girl was very malleable and had an innate ability to charm all living beings, so she added a negative character to him.

Although it is a villain, it is actually easier to be outstanding if the villain is played well. Fan Wubing admires Xia Donghai's changes very much, so he kept saying yes after watching it.

"Then let's finalize it according to this!" Xia Donghaizhi said proudly.

In this script, Fan Wubing refused to take credit, so he asked Xia Donghai to serve as the screenwriter. Therefore, Xia Donghai was very motivated and refined the rough outline that Fan Wubing pulled out, and added some fresh things, always trying to do it perfectly.

The most critical point is actually to take pictures of the fantasy parts of the fight. Regarding this part, Fan Wubing asked them to prepare the details, break them down, and then hand them over to specialists from American companies to handle it. After all, the equipment there is much better than in China, and computer stunt talents are far better than in China.

"About the scene, there are roughly several places, one is Xi'an, one is Hengdian, and the other is Dunhuang. Some of them need to be photographed by the beach, but the main part is still handled in Hengdian." Xia Donghai said to Fan Wubing.

Fan Wubing looked through the plan they made and asked in a pondering manner, "How is the construction in Hengdian now?"

After he spent a lot of money there, he never went to see it again. Therefore, what was the Hengdian Film and Television Base built and could it be put into use? He knew nothing about these issues.

When talking about Hengdian Film and Television Base, Xia Donghai's interest was drawn out. Fan Wubing said very enthusiastically, "Mr. Fan, I have been to Hengdian, and it is indeed very perfect. Basically, there are buildings of various dynasties in history, and they are very distinctive! In the future, we can basically do it in one place and we don't need to go anywhere else! It seems that their planned funds have not been spent yet, and they are now preparing to build Hong Kong Street. It is estimated that some blockbusters will be filmed in 1997, and this place will come in handy at that time!"

Fan Wubing thought, it was not just 97. 99 is the 50th anniversary of the National Day. There will be more tribute films at that time, but it is too early to talk about them at this time. I also thought 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 when shooting large-scale costume films.

"By the way, has the starring actor implemented it?" Fan Wubing asked his most concerned question.

The starring role is the soul of a movie. In fact, most movies have the same tone, but with the same tone, different actors will get different effects, and others are just fine, but Jackie Chan, Tony Leung and Sun Zhou, Fan Wubing asked Xia Donghai and others to invite him.

Or it was also an obsession, he didn't want to make the movie he knew was chaotic.

"Jackie Chan and Sun Zhou are going to watch the film period, so there should be no problem, but Tony Leung has agreed. I had wanted to tell you about this for a long time, but I have never had any time to do it. When I saw you, I couldn't remember it." Xia Donghai replied.

The star paths of these three big names are different.

Jackie Chan is the first to become popular. After his debut in 1975, many films have been released, especially works released after 1987, such as "Dragon Brothers and Tiger Brothers", "Plan A Sequel", "Flying Dragon General", "Police Story Sequel", "Miracle", "Flying Eagle Project", etc., all of which have box offices of more than 30 million yuan, and the Japanese market is also quite good.

Last year, I filmed "The Double Dragon Club" and is currently filming "Police Story 3 Super Police" directed by Tang Jili, which is a busy person.

Jackie Chan began to enter the Hollywood market as early as 1982, but his journey toward internationalism was not smooth. His first international work, "Sky" failed at the box office and has not been able to get what he wants until now.

Fan Wubing was thinking that his big production might allow Jackie Chan to enter Hollywood two years ahead of schedule. After all, when "Myth" was released, it was so popular.

Sun Zhou is a little different. He is actually a director, and many of his works have won awards at home and abroad. However, what Fan Wubing likes is his talent for playing a bad guy, so he invites him to play the villain in the film. It just so happens that he can still make time in the recent stage.

Of course, the price offered by Fan Wubing is very high, which is also one of the reasons that makes him excited.

Compared with these two, Tony Leung’s star journey is a bit tortuous.

His acting career began with playing a supporting role for Chow Yun-fat. In 1981, Tony Leung was admitted to the 10th Artist Training Class of Hong Kong TVB and was a classmate of Andy Lau. Stephen Chow failed the exam this year, and only entered the exam with Tony Leung the next year.

In the early days, Tony Leung was in the wireless training class with Andy Lau. At one rehearsal, the director asked Tony Leung and Andy Lau to be assistants for Chow Yun-fat. Tony Leung didn't sleep all night that night and racked his brains to figure out how to perform. On the second day, when the director started filming, Tony Leung was wearing black sunglasses and was domineering, which immediately stole the limelight of Chow Yun-fat and Andy Lau, which made the director feel very depressed.

But reality is always ruthless. When Andy Lau's "The Return of the Condor Heroes" was hit on the air on TV, Tony Leung received a ruthless termination letter.

Later, Tony Leung worked as a fashion model and magazine editor one after another. He was attracted by the great director Li Hanxiang. Tony Leung never expected that he was scolded for playing a supporting role the year before, but he stepped into the film industry the next year. When Tony Leung received a call from Li Hanxiang from Beijing, he thought that Li Hanxiang was asking him to be an assistant director or assistant director.

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

After filming Li Hanxiang's "Off the Curtain" and "Burning the Old Summer Palace", the 26-year-old Tony Tony Tony Tony Tony Tony Tony Tony Tony Tony Tony Tony Tony Tony Tony Tony Tony Tony Tony Tony Tony Tony Tony Tony Tony Tony Tony Tony Tony Tony Tony Tony Tony Tony Tony Tony Tony Tony Tony Tony Tony Tony Tony Tony Tony Tony Tony Tony Tony Tony Tony Tony Tony Tony Tony Tony Tony Tony Tony Tony Tony Tony Tony Tony Tony Tony Tony Tony Tony Tony Tony Tony Tony Tony Tony Tony Tony Tony Tony Tony Tony Tony Tony Tony Tony Tony Tony Tony Tony Tony Tony Tony Tony Tony Tony Tony Tony Tony Tony Tony Tony Tony Tony Tony Tony Tony Tony Tony Tony Tony Tony Tony Tony Tony Tony Tony Tony Tony Tony Tony Tony Tony Tony Tony Tony Tony Tony Tony Tony Tony Tony Tony Tony Tony Tony Tony Tony Tony Tony Tony Tony Tony Tony Tony Tony Tony Tony Tony Tony Tony Tony Tony Tony Tony Tony Tony Tony Tony Tony Tony Tony Tony Tony Tony Tony Tony Tony Tony Tony Tony Tony Tony Tony Tony Tony Tony Tony Tony Tony Tony Tony Tony Tony Tony Tony Tony Tony Tony Tony Tony Tony Tony Tony Tony Tony Tony Tony Tony Tony Tony Tony Tony Tony Tony Tony Tony Tony Tony Tony Tony Tony Tony Tony Tony Tony Tony Tony Tony Tony Tony Tony Tony Tony Tony Tony Tony Tony Tony Tony Tony Tony Tony Tony Tony Tony Tony Tony Tony To

Not being able to enter a movie theater in Taiwan means losing a large amount of box office revenue, so Hong Kong film companies dare not ask him to shoot movies. Leung Ka-fai, who was not doing well in his career, changed his career to design, and set up street stalls on street stalls with a group of art-engaging in art to work as hawkers, selling jewelry and handicrafts, and also looking for unlicensed hawkers.

Later, Chow Yun-fat pleaded with him, and then he was unblocked in Taiwan and was able to continue his acting career.

During the past year, he starred in eight movies, and this year he has been making constant film appointments. He was able to agree to the film’s appointments from the New Silk Road Company because he read the movie script and felt that this film was likely to enter the international market.

After all, if you want to enter the international market, one is to have big productions, the other is to have characteristics, and the third is to create some fake technology so that people can be scared.

Jackie Chan has a very market in Japan, while Tony Leung is very popular in Taiwan and has a high reputation in mainland China. Sun Zhou's joining will at least attract more attention from the film critics circle.

Fan Wubing's abacus was indeed very good at playing with it, and Xia Donghai had never thought of these problems.

To describe it in Fan Wubing's terms, it means that the value of celebrities sometimes cannot truly reflect their artistic level. However, some celebrities can play a value that far exceeds their value after they are combined and give investors rich returns. This is also an important reason why he spares a lot of money to invite these three people to join.

If there is no most suitable actor, this blockbuster can only become a bad movie with huge investments. As for wanting to recover the investment or even make huge profits, it is even more unimaginable.

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