The entertainment industry shouldn't be like this

Chapter 280 I use movies as a medium to remember our love
"Sometimes, I really don't know how you can have such a big brain?!"

After listening to Wang Wei's brief description of the basic plot design, Shen Zhenyi's eyes sparkled.

——A girl in a simple town and a boy in a modern metropolis accidentally exchanged bodies one day. After a series of dramatic "new life" experiences, the two fell in love with each other and started to find each other At this time, the dislocation of time and space appeared...

Although they all knew that Wang Wei could make up stories, after listening to the story he "temporarily" made up, the others were still a little dumbfounded——

Sci-fi elements such as "soul exchange" and "time-space interleaving" may be used badly in more than ten years, but at present, although they are not unprecedented, they are definitely fresh enough;

Not to mention, these elements appear together in a love movie... If it is done well, it definitely has a chance to become a classic among love movies!

only……

"It doesn't sound like an easy romance movie to make!"

Lao Wang pondered for a moment, frowned and said.

When he heard that there were sci-fi elements such as body swapping, time travel, meteorite attack, and even metaphysical elements such as witches and temples in the movie, he had a bad feeling.

It is an advantage to have a big brain hole, but what does it mean to realize such a brain hole?
It means that the budget must not be low!

You must know that one of the great advantages of romance movies is that the budget is not high-as long as the screen is beautiful, the sparks between the hero and heroine are strong, and each other’s acting skills are good, even if the plot is simple, they can easily recoup their costs or even make a large profit.

And according to Wang Wei's idea, the budget of this film must not be ordinary level, so the risk is not ordinary level either.

Of course, Lao Wang's troubles were successfully exchanged for two pairs of supercilious looks from Shen Zhenyi and her manager.

——They are still touched by this very innovative love story, but this girl only thinks about "money", which makes them want to say "there is no reason to be single".

But this time, Wang Wei did not refute Lao Wang's words.

This movie is really bad!

Because this "Your Name" was an animated film in Wang Wei's original time and space.

——Yes, Wang Wei is not trying to copy this animated movie, but to adapt it into a live-action movie!
As we all know, it is very difficult for an animated movie or anime to be made into a live-action version.

For example, many scenes that do not exist in reality are easy to do in animated movies, but it is difficult to do in live-action movies.

Take "Your Name" as an example. Many of the most talked about beautiful scenes in animated films, such as the visit of a comet to the earth, cannot be filmed on the spot at all, and can only be special effects.

Of course, it’s easy to solve if it’s just the realization of the scene—“difficult to do” doesn’t mean “impossible”, it just means that low-cost movies can’t do it. As long as you are willing to spend money, with the current rapid-fire special effects technology, there is nothing The scene cannot be realized.

The focus is on the plot!
As a live-action movie adapted from animation, "Your Name" does not need to take care of the emotional sustenance of the fans of the original work-after all, in this time and space, there is only one "fan of the original work" in Wang Wei!
But precisely this is the case, it is difficult for him to tolerate himself "spoiling" a good work.

He even hopes to make the live-action movie even more exciting than the original!

In this way, Wang Wei must undergo "major surgery" on the original animated film!
——Not to mention that there are indeed many bugs in the original book, but only the plot itself. In Wang Wei's opinion, the body-swapping plot in the first half of the original book is very exciting, but the second half is not appealing enough, which wastes the setting to some extent. And foreshadowing, it also somewhat proves that Xin Haicheng is really not good at controlling complex plots and grand themes.

Of course, compared with his previous works, there has been a great breakthrough, but it does not mean that it has reached the level of perfection.

"It's just, can I really change it better? Can it really be more classic than the original after the change?"

——While Shen Zhenyi and her manager were still tasting the plot, and when Lao Wang was still worrying about the budget, Wang Wei asked himself silently in his heart.

In the previous works, although there are magic changes, in essence he is still just a porter of film and television works.

If this "Your Name" is really going to be done according to his ideas, it will not be a simple "transportation".

Needless to say, the stakes are greater than in any previous work that has largely followed the original.

Want to take a risk?How about leaving?It's not like there aren't other live-action romance movies...

"Just shoot this!"

It was Shen Zhenyi who made up her mind,

"I want to shoot this! If the budget is insufficient, Suguang Films can share the investment..."

"It's not necessary!"

Before she could finish speaking, Old Wang shook his head to express his disapproval.

Although Shuguang Films is a subsidiary of Dunhuang, the two companies are two companies after all, and each has an independent financial system. For example, "Fury Road", which Shuguang Films participated in, was distributed by Dunhuang , the latter is also subject to distribution fees.

The films made by Wang Wei have proved that they can not only sell well, but also sell well. Even if it is a subsidiary company, how could Lao Wang allow him to come in to pick the fruit!
——For budgeting, it is just a habit, or it can be said to be his "occupational disease".

"Dunhuang has enough funds to invest independently!"

Lao Wang first put on a posture of "eat alone", then stared at Wang Wei and confirmed,
"So, have you decided to make this next movie? And you're going to direct and act on your own?"

Due to the many risks that are hard to explain clearly, Wang Wei is somewhat hesitant.

But others thought that what he hesitated was only "whether to direct and act on his own".

"This really needs to be carefully considered. This romantic movie still has high requirements for the acting skills of the actors-after the male and female protagonists switch bodies, their personalities change significantly, which requires the same person to play two roles. Xiaozhen should have no problem , but if it is self-directed and self-acted..."

Manager Yu Li shrugged.

Well, it's obvious that he doesn't have much confidence in Wang Wei's acting skills.

"In terms of acting, I think I'm okay."

Wang Wei was the least worried about this.

——Although he doesn't have much acting experience, he should belong to the "experiential school", that is, he needs to substitute into the role and reflect the emotion of the character itself in the scene.

——And to a certain extent, no one can be more involved in the plot of "Love You Across Time and Space" than him.

What's more, isn't there a halo buff that helps actors get into the show? Although he hasn't tried it yet, Wang Wei has a feeling that if he directs and acts on his own, this halo will also be a bonus to him.

Of course, the words that come out are just——

"After all, this is a love story about how a boy and a girl break through many obstacles and get together; considering my age and identity, I should be able to substitute for the protagonist's identity better than "Peking Holiday"..."

——Well, even if it was just the first version of the plot, Wang Wei subconsciously raised the age of the main characters to the university stage.

After all, in addition to the stalk of "high school students saving the world" that the islanders are obsessed with, the main audience in other countries still lacks some sense of substitution for the age group of high school students, let alone high school students falling in love.

——After being reminded by him, other people, mainly Lao Wang and Ms. Yu, realized that Wang Wei was really at the age of a "boy".

This made them choke.

—Nimma, apart from his age, what does this guy do like what a "boy" should do? ! !
Shen Zhenyi pouted and said dissatisfiedly, ""Peking Holiday" is also very immersive, the momentary sparks will forever remain deep in the memory... We also performed very well."

"you're right."

Wang Wei reacted quickly this time and said,

"It should be said that "Peking Holiday" is our story in another time and space, and "Your Name" is our story in another time and space. As long as we meet, I can be the hero!"

The other two were about to sigh (despise) Wang Wei's "love words", but these words flashed across Shen Zhenyi's mind like a lightning bolt.

"Our story in different time and space?!"

While sorting out the thoughts in her mind, Shen Zhenyi said excitedly and quickly,

"I have an idea - if we use this movie as the basis, we can meet across time and space - "Peking Holiday" can be regarded as our previous life, because of the responsibilities we shouldered, we couldn't walk together; A time and space, in that time and space where you and I didn’t know each other at all, but we still met and fell in love by instinct—this is not the end, the crossing of time and space is still going on, and our story is also continuing..."

What Shen Zhenyi said was not very coherent, even a little confusing, but the others understood it, and then they were stunned——

Fuck, isn't this little girl talking about the "Love Movie Universe"?

——Dunhuang's "Super British Movie Universe" plan, even the manager Yu Li, has heard of it, and the two are connected as soon as Shen Zhenyi's thoughts are heard!

And Shen Zhenyi's words flashed across Wang Wei's mind like a flash of lightning.

Wang Wei grabbed the girl's hand a little excitedly,
"No, it's not just the 'love movie universe', it can also be advanced around different themes according to our love history-for example, "Peking Holiday" is encounter and miss; then this time it is search and love; next A stage may be entering into marriage... Viewed separately, it is a relationship; viewed together, it can also constitute a more complete relationship..."

This is the first time Wang Wei mentioned marriage. Shen Zhenyi looked at Wang Wei and showed a sweet smile.

"In this case, dream and reality are really intertwined. Are we going to have two parallel relationships?"

Wang Wei turned his head to respond to her gaze,

"No, I want to use movies as a medium to remember our love!"

Seeing that the charm in the girl's eyes was almost dripping, Wang Wei grabbed the girl's hand and kissed it in a timely manner...

"..."

At this time, Lao Wang and his manager retreated out in a sensible manner.

After all, the strong hormonal taste between these two people has simply exceeded the standard. If they don't leave, they will really be like light bulbs.

Discussing the love movie, but there was such a magical turning point, the two people who escaped looked at each other, speechless.

"This fucking girl really spends a lot of money!"

After a while, Lao Wang only thought of this famous line in "Crazy Stone".

Ms. Yu also nodded slowly.

Look at the stickiness of the young couple inside, there are not only love movies, but also big ones!

Wang Wei also directed and acted himself!

To some extent, this is definitely a waste of money!
At the very least -

It is not difficult to create a love story, but it must be based on the images of the two people, and it must revolve around a specific theme; The vision of the story itself, the story itself must be innovative enough, the quality is good enough...

This... is not the difficulty × 3, but the difficulty is skyrocketing!
Of course, as far as "picking up girls" is concerned, the effect will also be heavenly!
The two of them exhaled at the same time, and they could already foresee how big a storm this would cause!
