Chapter 87: Wool? (2/5)

"Police Story" is the best work of Brother Cheng Long, and one of the greatest action movies in Hong Kong and even the world's film industry. It is a masterpiece that is enough to compete for the best in action film history.

There are two reasons: the first is that Cheng Long and his family used their flesh and blood to create a visual wonder that is difficult to replicate in the history of film.

The second is that the literary drama is also good, there are too many excellent actors!

Of course, there is another point, the background of the times: Who is really competing with Cheng Long’s action films during the golden age?

At that time, the muscular men in Hollywood were clumsy and they fought with no beauty or appreciation...

Cheng Long himself said: If you remove the sound from Hollywood, you will have nothing!

But he is old!

Let’s have another movie called “Police Story”, can you bear it?

No matter what, if Cheng Long is convinced, Chen Mengxi will definitely follow him - Yang Qing + Wang Wei + Mengxi Screenwriter Team. No matter how bad it is, it will never be possible to have a "Police Story 2013"!

That movie can win a box office of 534 million!

Why is "Police Story 2013" so bad...

There is no need to star in this movie, and there is no need to use the banner of "Police Story"!

In fact, if Uncle Long wants to transform, Eastwood is his role model!

"Classic Car", "Absolute Power", "Unforgivable"...

...

The Great Wall is being filmed in an orderly manner.

Banquets compare arrows…

The appearances were Zhang Jing, the commander of the Shadowless Army Eagle Army, and Henry Cavill...

Whether a person is awesome depends on his opponent's level. Only General Eagle's archery can set off Henry's magnificent, and in turn, he also has a role portrayal of General Eagle.

The original version of "The Great Wall" exaggerates Damon's awesomeness and makes him look weak all over the Shadowless Army!

The right option is regardless of the difference...

The two of them fixed the bowl on the pillar with one arrow.

After winning a lot of lottery, Da Tiantian also admired Henry.

Then, the general Xiong Jun played by Guo Jingfei stood up and said, "Why, let's compete with swordsmanship?"

Henry Cavill was noticed by the girl and was in a good mood. He shouted: "Okay!"

Uncle Long glared at Guo Jingfei, then waved his hand at Henry: "No need, we have seen your archery!"

Henry was very dissatisfied: "…I have always wanted to see the Oriental Sword Technique..."

Guo Jingfei came to the competition venue and shouted: "Come on the sword!"

There is no doubt that Henry's clumsy attack method was defeated by Guo Jingfei in a few seconds...

Henry was very disappointed...

Da Tiantian comforted him: "General Xiong is the number one swordsman in the world. It is normal for you to lose to him..."

"Click..."

Chen Mengxi frowned...

The sweet expression is so dull!

"You can adjust, pay attention to your eyes, and have eyes connected!"

Foreigners still need to pick up girls, but the girl ignored him and just simply admired him...

By the way, Da Tiantian’s character is an orphan who grew up in the Shadowless Army. Her parents were a group that looked for gunpowder in the early years, so she died...

Not far away, Ye Ning saw the shooting situation on the spot and asked Yang Qing: "What if the actor can't show his condition?"

"Two ways to deal with it, one is to replace people..."

"Substitution?"

"Of course, this cannot appear in "The Great Wall". Jing Tian went to North America for half a year for training for this character. Now that the person is replaced, he still has to find someone else to go to North America for training. It's impossible!"

“What about the second type?”

Yang Qing looked at Wang Wei, who said: "Reduce close-ups, reduce close-ups to the whole character, and adjust the camera to the side shooting, and the actor's acting defects will be covered up."

Later, AI face swapping technology appeared...

Not widely used in real-life shooting yet…

I believe you all know where the main application is, so I won’t say it: the films were taken by others, and the faces of celebrities are from the public, so what’s wrong with me just putting them together?

...

Wanda has been planning a movie.

And it is the entire industrial chain.

In the early years, Wanda mainly relied on building buildings to sell, with one-time current revenue.

Later, I found that there was nothing after selling the building, so I started building a square, and all residential offices were sold to recover funds, which meant that the commercial part was given by the general public and the bank for free.

The real economy is no longer good, Wanda began to close stores and found that some of the supporting facilities in the business are actually very good, with gross profit margins much higher than those in the retail department store industry.

So I started working in theaters and found that in addition to the high gross profit margin, I also had the right to speak in the entertainment industry, which is good.

So I acquired AMC and found that it was still a bit slow to make money by broadcasting movies and could not master the content. At this time, the country called for making movies and culture!

So I started to do content. At the beginning, I was just an investor in distribution and content. Then I slowly entered the upper end of the industrial chain, built theme parks, film and television production bases, invested in film production companies, and acquired Legend...

Continuously develop to the upper end of the industrial chain.

Ye Ning is the person in charge of Wanda Movies.

The first thing I did after the establishment was to follow up on "The Great Wall" - I just followed up on it, investing 20 million US dollars.

Then what?

You can't stop making big moves.

There are not many big fish on the market now, and the number of them is Cheng Long, Li Lianjie and the like...

Then let’s go to Cheng Long. With the popularity of "Big Man", Ye Ning immediately identified the IP of "Police Story".

The problem is that Cheng Long is no longer interested in pure martial arts dramas!

"The Twelve Zodiacs" is his last action movie...

At least that's what he thinks now.

"The Twelve Zodiacs" ended, and I will never make pure action movies again, so I will make more literary scenes...

It can also be seen from the movies he chose in recent years that "Shinjuku Incident" and "Soldiers" both ended tragically, reversing Cheng Long's past screen characters' convention that "can't die" and even not fighting as before, but almost "can't fight".

The problem is that although these two films are of good quality, the box office is not too high, because the audience still subconsciously likes to watch his action blockbusters.

None of the three movies, "The Flying Tigers of Railways", and "Kung Fu Yoga", reached the Douban pass score, how many box office did it get?

3.3 billion!

And it was released in six months and three movies...

Even if he wants to transform, investors will not agree...

But Ye Ning doesn't care about this. He has calculated the matter. As long as Cheng Long agrees to star in the role, plus the sequel to "Police Story", and by the way, the director of "Big Man"...

At least 500 million box office!

No matter how good the schedule is, the box office is higher, it is not impossible...

Ye Ning made many promises, such as the best schedule, the best promotional resources, etc.

Cheng Long looked at Yang Qing and asked him: "Did Director Shen give it to you?"

Yang Qing nodded: "Yes, it's Mengxi's one and two films. The script is provided by South Korea. After seeing the script, Mr. Shen felt it was very suitable for both sides to develop together..."

"Then are you the director of Mengxi?"

"Our company is different from ordinary companies. It is not restricted by director external projects."

"Did you tell him about this project?"

Yang Qing nodded: "I said it."

"What did he say?"
Chapter completed!
