Actors start from the college entrance examination

Chapter 417 Generous

"Brother, my brother spent a lot of money on this drama!"

Fatty Yu sighed: "Three top directors joined forces and invited Wu Jing, Duan Yihong, Zhu Yawen, Hu Jun, Li Chen..."

"They're all tough guys!"

Su Ze nodded. I have to say that this lineup is luxurious, but...

"Don't worry, it's absolutely impossible to cook a big platter!" Fatty Yu saw Su Ze's thoughts, and said to himself: "100% the effect of one plus one is greater than two."

Su Ze was noncommittal and began to read the script. Fatty Yu stopped talking. After working together for several years, he knew Su Ze's habits well.

This is one of Bona's largest investment projects in recent years. The project was approved the year before last, and it was not fully completed until last month. The production team was about to prepare, and Su Ze was the last stop.

He had just finished cooperating with Heroes of Fire, and then this kid really won the Magnolia and became the youngest grand slam Shidi.

"The screenwriter is Lan Xiaolong?" Su Ze began to read the script. He is the number one screenwriter of the war. Soldiers Assault, My Soldiers, My Regiment, and Life and Death Line are all his masterpieces.

I finally have a bottom line in my heart. I have experienced that my motherland and I are very worried about a big platter, especially if directors with different styles get together, if it fails, it will be a disaster.

Sometimes one plus one may not necessarily be greater than two!
Needless to say, the actors, both Wu Jing and Duan Yihong, are long-awaited and talented factions who hope to cooperate, and there are also a group of veteran actors such as Hu Jun. Hu Jun is also a master of Chinese opera, and he has met several times at parties.

In recent years, domestic blockbusters often suffer from two problems: either they indulge in grand narratives and appear empty and boring, or they get lost in personal narratives and cannot find the spiritual theme.

The character I play is Wu Wanli, the youngest soldier in the team and the younger brother of Wu Jing's character.

First of all, the character design is quite representative. At that time, there were a large number of young soldiers under the age of 20 in the army, and Wu Qianli even lied about his age in order to join the army.

They are not as experienced as the veterans, but they have the same enthusiasm.And his growth point is very obvious: he joined the army at the beginning to make his brother think highly of him.Like to be brave and ruthless, and disobedient to discipline.

I accidentally saw the beautiful rivers and mountains outside the train, and for the first time vaguely touched the meaning of defending the country.Watching comrades of the same age being smashed into pieces by the plane and being baptized by blood, their impetuosity was washed away at once.

Follow the elder brother to participate in the front-line battle, and quickly transform between life and death.It has to be said that even in the star-studded lineup, the role of Wu Wanli is also the protagonist.

Su Ze nodded secretly. He likes growth characters the most. The more the characters change, the more challenging they are. This is the second time he has encountered a war theme. Gu Qingming, who fought in Changsha, did not have as much room to play.

This is Lan Xiaolong's intention. Such preferential treatment is meaningful. It not only reflects the tradition of our army's teaching and leadership, but also because most viewers lack understanding of the cruelty of the battlefield. Increase the sense of substitution in the process.

Su Ze watched very carefully, especially the literary and drama aspects. Because of Lin Chaoxian and Tsui Hark, there is basically no need to worry about the so-called big scenes.

In my opinion, for war-themed movies, or blockbuster action movies, martial arts is indeed the most important thing, but it can't be all about fighting.

It is more important for the audience to understand why and how to fight.

At the same time, it is also necessary to give the audience a little more process of adjusting their emotions, and arrange to follow a gradual process. There must be a degree of relaxation, and there must be speed and slowness, so that the final climax of the drama can look more enjoyable.

To put it bluntly, the sense of rhythm is very important!
"How?" Fatty Yu saw that Su Ze was thinking, and asked tentatively, "Is it okay?"

The entire circle is convinced by the vision of the lucky boy in front of him when he chooses the script. If he refuses to accept it, the counterattacks of dark horses are the best proof.

The reason why they rushed to ask for it was to find out the bottom line, and the investment budget of [-] million US dollars was really costly.

"Not bad." Su Ze said honestly: "At least the characters have bright spots, and the plot text seems to be smooth, but..."

"Such a big scene is scary..."

Su Ze didn't say the rest, I believe Fatty Yu must be well aware that what the audience is watching is the finished product on the big screen, no matter how wonderful the shooting process is, it will be useless to pull the crotch in the end.

I am most worried about whether the styles of the three major directors can be unified. Both Lin Chaoxian and Tsui Hark have outstanding personalities, plus Cheng Kaige's habit of adding private goods...

The second is that a movie is a movie after all. Su Ze was worried that he could carry such a heavy battle in just over two hours?

If it's a certain battlefield, it's okay, but if it's the entire battle of Changjin Lake?
A little hanging!
"Don't worry, I'm looking for Huang Jianxin this time." Fatty Yu smiled and said, "It's no problem to have Lao Huang here."

Su Ze was noncommittal, and had no idea about the legendary gold medal producer, after all, he had never cooperated.At least the current script is not bad, and I can't pick any flaws for the time being. Lan Xiaolong's war scene is still okay.

The role of Wu Wanli also has a high growth rate. The process of transforming from a recruit to a predator after the baptism of war is very challenging. I like this better than Gu Qingming.

"You said [-] million investment?" Su Ze put down the script and asked, "Or dollars?"

"The estimate is about the same, mainly because the war scenes and special effects cost too much money." Hearing Su Ze's question, Fatty Yu hurriedly said, "Let's vote for some fun?"

Su Ze curled his lips. He already knew that you had ulterior motives, so he changed the subject and said, "I don't know much about investment. Let Kong Xue talk to you. The amount is not big and you can consider it."

Fatty Yu chuckled, this time he came here mainly to rub Su Ze's luck, as long as he is willing to act, everything else is trivial.

It's best to pull Jinze into the water, and this kid will definitely contribute 100% by then.It doesn't matter if there is no investment. Bona has no shortage of wealthy investors. Some people want to participate in this kind of annual big project.

He promised to consider it as soon as possible, give a specific answer within two days, send Yu Dong away, and call Kong Xue in to discuss.

"Should we invest in such a big project?" After understanding the details, Kong Xue rarely hesitated: "Two hundred million dollars is absolutely nonsense, but five or six billion yuan should be indispensable."

"War scenes and special effects are the most expensive. Fatty Yu has a lot of ambitions this time, and many of them are specially produced by top international teams."

"Three major directors plus a group of powerful factions, the salary alone can easily exceed [-] million."

"Calculating the miscellaneous and miscellaneous..."

"It's hard to get back the 25 billion at the box office!"

Su Ze nodded, believing that Kong Xue's experience, after several years of baptism with real guns and live ammunition, is only inferior to the so-called gold medal producer.

This time Fatty Yu played a big game, let alone tens of millions, [-] million invested is just a small splash.

"Now we are not short of money, but the risk is a bit high, so we don't have to go through the muddy water." Kong Xue tentatively said.

"Well, I think so too." Su Ze nodded. The role of Wu Wanli can be discussed. The script and role are good. As for what problems will arise during the filming process, who can predict?
The once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to work with Tsui Hark and Lam Chiu-hsien, as well as Wu Jing, Duan Yihong, and Hu Jun to act together, has told me intuitively for many years: This drama can be accepted!
