Entertainment: Start as an idol trainee

"Well, they are all boring scripts, and they are all scripts with no beginning or end."

After reading these scripts selected by the agent, Cao Gong felt very bored.

These scripts only had seven or eight episodes, and there were no follow-up.

It was not even a complete script, which made him feel very speechless.

After reading the TV series scripts, there was really nothing he was interested in, so he just watched movies.

These movie scripts were all electronic.

However, when he saw these movie scripts, one of them attracted him

"Spirit cage?"Finally, I saw a play title that I remember deeply.

After clicking on the script and reading it, Cao Gong found that it was the same as what he had in mind.

But it was strange, shouldn't this be an anime? How could it be? Is it a movie?

He was confused, but Cao Gong still read the script carefully.

The movie only has 50,000 words in total. It is exactly the same as the plot of the science fiction anime"Spirit Cage" he has watched. The content is probably about Ran Bing. After the wedding was ruined by Mark.

In order to save Ran Bing, Mark decided to go from the lighthouse to the ground to help the city lord find medicine. It was over here. It was not written that when Mark and the others went to the ground to look for medicine, they encountered a large pole-devouring beast. , nor did it write about Mark being beaten away in the battle with the Devouring Beast, and then meeting Boss Bai.

Seeing the plot here, Cao Gong was full of interest in this movie.

This animation can be said to be the double pinnacle of domestic science fiction animation.

At the same time, this is the pinnacle of domestic original animations.

What are the two peaks of domestic science fiction animations?

《Devouring the Starry Sky》、《Spirit Cage".

These two science fiction animations are definitely the pinnacle of domestic science fiction animations.

However, the former is adapted from a science fiction and fantasy novel, but it is also quite exciting.

The latter is a purely original science fiction film, right?

"《"Swallowing the Stars" is a novel that no one wants to make into a movie now."

"If that's the case, can it be made into a science fiction movie?"

At this time, Cao Gong had this idea.

Especially this"Spiritual Cage", he has watched it more than twice. The classic degree of this animation has made many people look forward to the follow-up works.

As far as he can see The length of each episode of anime is very conscientious.

Basically, it is more than 30 minutes, and some are even more than 40 minutes.

According to the content of the 16 episodes of the anime.

But if it is an anime, then it must be There is no problem.

But if it is a movie, it will seem a bit delayed, and the climax needs to be arranged.

As for the content of these 16 episodes, if you want to follow the plot of the anime without deletion, it can at least be filmed. It becomes four 120-minute movies, which is two hours long.

The length of anime is basically 120 minutes of content in 4.

If four movies are made in this way, it will feel too long, and it will not last long. Not very good.

Moreover, it usually takes two years to make one movie. If four movies are made, it will take 8 years to reach Bai Yuekui vs. Mark. This is too delayed. If it really wants to be made into a movie, Cao Gong I think that based on the 16 episodes of anime I have seen, I can simplify the complexity and make at most three movies. At the end of the first part, it was filmed that after Mark stopped Ran Bing from getting married, he went down to find medicine for the city lord.

The second part The beginning of the story is when Mark and the others go down to look for medicine, and then encounter a large number of pole-devouring beasts, and then fight against the calyx beast, and then meet Bai Yuekui. After all, the scene where Mark meets Bai Yuokui is a very classic part; the ending is about Mark transforming into a beast. It ends as a monster.

In the third part, the beast-turned-Mark goes to the ground, and then ends with a duel with Boss Bai. With this arrangement, the 16 episodes of the anime will be filmed into three movies, which will make the plot more compact.

And In this way, the plot of the movie will be more high-energy.

After all, this is a truly original domestic science fiction. Although it is an animation, it is better than many science fiction films.

……

And what he just thought of was to make"Swallowing the Stars" into a science fiction movie.

The first part ends with the killing of Li Wei, the son of the vulture Li Yao.

The content of the second part takes the grudge between Luo Feng and Li Yao as the theme, and ends with Kirishima's fight for the heart of grass and trees.

The theme of the third part is, of course, the complete understanding of the grudges between Luo Feng and Li Yao, and the ending with the final killing of Li Yao.

The fourth part is easy, with the theme of killing the golden-horned giant beast.

In this way, the content of the earth chapter of"Swallowing the Stars" can be filmed into four movies.

Because the content after leaving the earth, the world view, etc. are too grand, it may not be easy to make a movie. When the time comes, if the follow-up works are really going to be produced, they can be made into animations.

"If this is confirmed, these two movies alone can be made into two series"

"Not much else to say, if one is shot a year, it will be seven years after these two series of seven movies are finished, that is, around 2023."

Thinking of Cao Gong here, I think it's not impossible.

Anyway, there are no movies or TV series that I'm interested in now, so just do these two projects.

"But the problem is that these two series of movies will probably cost a lot of special effects."

"If you want to produce a high-quality film, the special effects cost of a single movie must be at least 500 million."

"The pure special effects cost is 500 million, which does not include the actors' remuneration, filming costs and publicity costs."

"And the special effects cost of 500 million should still be the minimum, right?"

"After all, if you want to make the special effects of live-action movies realistic, realistic, gorgeous, and cool, you will definitely not be able to spend a lot of money. This is different from 3D animation."

"For 3D animation, you can basically produce one episode with two to three million, and the production will be very good. After 100 episodes, it will only be 300 million."

"But doing post-production special effects for live-action movies costs more money, involves a lot of work, and requires a lot of labor."

"Therefore, this kind of series of movies must cost money."

When Cao Gong was thinking about this, he had already asked his agent to get the WeChat account of Dong Xiangbo, the director of the movie"Spirit Cage", and had already added it.

After adding the WeChat account, Cao Gong explained to the other party

"Why did Director Dong’s movie seek me out?"This is what Cao Gong wants to know.

"You are a newcomer, your salary is cheap, and you are also very popular. In addition, I think your figure is quite suitable, but you are still a bit thin. It would be better if you could make your figure stronger."

"Because it’s a doomsday theme, your body needs to be stronger."

"Besides, although you are a newcomer, I think your acting skills should be very good."

"And I never thought about inviting you, you would really agree to act, so..."

After the director explained this, Cao Gong finally understood.

In this case, Cao Gong asked:"I only have two question"

"You say."Dong Xiangbo asked him to speak and listen first.

"When will the movie start shooting? How much is expected to be invested?"

This is what Cao Gong wants to ask most at the moment, especially the last question. (To read Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

"As for movies, in fact, as long as you have enough funds, you can make them at any time."

"As for the estimated investment, this movie needs at least 500 million yuan. Without 500 million yuan, we can’t produce good special effects. I believe you know this, otherwise you wouldn’t take the initiative to ask me for information."

"Now I have all my property, plus loans, it’s only 100 million"

"So I asked you to star. Actually, I have a purpose, which is to attract investment if you star."

Dong Xiangbo's answer made Cao Gong very satisfied.

But he was also curious:"Why don't you consider making it into an animation?"

"I have also thought about this. If I can't get enough funds to make this movie, then making it into an animation will be my last resort. Domestic science fiction movies have not yet been proven."

"I am confident that I can make this movie into a high-level science fiction film, but the prerequisite is that I have enough funds; but if I really can't get enough funds, I will have no choice but to give up on making the movie and then make it."

After understanding the situation, Cao Gong also decided.

He will star in this movie, and he can also make investments.

He is not short of money, and this is also because this is his favorite animation.

If it is made into a movie now, he He should be the most suitable actor to star in this movie.

Because he knows what animation is like, and he also understands the effects that the director wants.

"I can star in this movie, and I'm here to tell you good news"[]

"If you want to invest, you don’t have to look for it. I will invest. I will invest 500 million for you."

After Dong Xiangbo saw this information, he spit out a mouthful of tea.

What do you mean? Not only is Cao Gong willing to star in his movie, but also bring funds into the group?

He is even willing to invest 500 million for him to produce this movie. ?real or fake?

"I have been in Shanghai for the past few days. You can come to Shanghai to find me and discuss this project in detail."

"This is my phone number. When you arrive in Shanghai, please give me a message in advance and agree on a time to meet."

Cao Gong didn't say any nonsense and directly gave his phone number to Dong Xiangbo.

After Dong Xiangbo saw this, he was sure that Cao Gong was serious and not making fun of him.

"So rich? You can actually invest 500 million for me? Oh, yes, his father is Liu Dehua"

"He should have asked his father to invest, right? It would be really great if this were the case."
