Chapter 1551 Preparation for "Resident Evil"

What Zhong Chuhong is worried about now is that he cannot interpret the role of Alice well.

Because many of Alice's scenes can only be completed by relying on her perseverance and courage, as well as her smooth and smooth movements.

The most intense action scene that Zhong Chuhong has ever filmed was in "Speed" more than two years ago, but it was nothing compared to the action scenes in "Resident Evil".

Originally, Zhong Chuhong thought that Yin Jun would make a police and gangster movie for him, or a costume action movie.

Unexpectedly, Yin Jun immediately decided to play "Resident Evil" as soon as he came on board.

Seeing Zhong Chuhong's worried look, Yin Jun naturally understood what she was thinking, "Don't worry, this movie was filmed in the United States. It took a long time from preparation to filming. I will let the American women The special elites, as well as the dragon and tiger martial arts masters here, will give you special training, and you will be able to use it when it comes to filming."

"Will the filming take a long time?" Zhong Chuhong breathed a sigh of relief, as long as Yin Jun is prepared.

"About half a year, pre-preparation, and your role, that's about it." Yin Jun said thoughtfully, "The rest is the computer and post-production. You don't have to stay in the United States."

"All right!"

Zhong Chuhong thought for a moment and made up his mind.

But she added, "Can Fei Xiang continue to cooperate with me? I am not familiar with the country in the United States, and I am worried that I will not be able to integrate into the environment. With him here, he should be able to help me get into filming as soon as possible."

Yin Jun's eyes suddenly lit up.

yes!

Why didn't I think of that?

Fei Xiang and Zhong Chuhong had a good cooperation as early as "Speed ​​of Life and Death". This pair was once highly regarded in Asia, Europe and the United States.

If most people didn't know that Zhong Chuhong was Yin Jun's favorite, there might have been tabloids fabricating the scandal between Fei Xiang and Zhong Chuhong.

After that, Fei Xiang went to Broadway in the United States, and then returned to the film industry last year and made a movie that directly made him a god-"Top Gun", becoming the idol of teenagers across the United States.

In comparison, Zhong Chuhong's reputation is much weaker.

If Fei Xiang joins "Resident Evil" this time, it will be a huge benefit to the improvement of the entire movie!

Coupled with the tens of millions of fans of the "Resident Evil" comics, "Resident Evil" became an instant hit, and it was definitely not difficult for Zhong Chuhong to become an international action female star.

There are many female stars in Xiangjiang, but there are not many like Zhong Chuhong who have excellent conditions to enter the international stage.

Being able to push her out and stand in the world of film circles for more than ten years, just like Cheng Long, set a benchmark for Chinese stars in the world, will definitely be a great benefit to Yin Jun's cultural promotion strategy.

Therefore, Yin Juncai handed over such an important movie as "Resident Evil" to Zhong Chuhong instead of Lin Qingxia.

Although Sister Qingxia is also a natural beauty, her personality characteristics are not suitable for Hollywood to be a commercial blockbuster.

Zhong Chuhong is different. Not only is she younger, she is also stubborn and very outgoing, making her the most suitable to conquer the world.

If the film industry in Hong Kong hadn't been so chaotic in his previous life, Zhong Chuhong would definitely not have quit at the peak of his career, leaving no regrets.

"Resident Evil" is of course not just the work of Zhong Chuhong alone.

Yin Jun actually equipped her with a strong lineup.

Yin Jun personally made phone calls for half a year and convinced Spielberg to let him serve as producer and director.

Since the second half of last year, Spielberg has begun to read the stand-alone version of "Resident Evil" and the overall outline specially written by Yin Jun.

From the 1980s to the 1990s, Spielberg was an invincible presence.

Even Cameron was deeply impressed by his thinking, his filming techniques, and his various whimsical ideas, and Lucas wished he could film all of his company's films.

In fact, if you think about it carefully, "Resident Evil" and "Jurassic Park" have many similarities. They are both alien attacks, human escape and counterattack, and the scenes are grand and full of thrills.

Since Spielberg can make "Jurassic Park" into a classic among classics, then he can also make "Resident Evil" well.

Why is the "Resident Evil" movie so popular?

The reason is that the director of this movie, starting from the first episode, changed the original version of the thrilling and terrifying escape game into an action science fiction movie in which Alice cheats and kills monsters.

In this way, the audience will be greatly increased, making it interesting for people to watch.

Yin Jun emphasized this point when discussing with Spielberg.

Spielberg, the godfather of commercial films, certainly understands what the point of a film is.

He very much agreed with Yin Jun's approach of distinguishing the original work from the movie script, and he was relieved.

If Yin Jun is stubborn and unwilling to change, that will be a headache.

He didn't know that the boy had already known Spielberg's habits.

The storyline of "Jurassic Park" is very rich, and can even be called a horror, but Spielberg just intercepted a small section that he thought was interesting and adapted it into a classic movie.

If Spielberg had copied the original version, I'm afraid "Jurassic Park" wouldn't be that good.

So with Spielberg leading the movie, Yin Junda can rest assured that at least this is a movie with a score of 85 or above.

A commercial blockbuster can score 85 points, which is already incredible.

Card God's "Evaporation Order" and "True Lies" are only about 80 points.

In terms of actors, because he had to adapt to globalization, Yin Jun only designed one main Asian character except Zhong Chuhong, and the rest were all American and British actors.

Another oriental character is not a Chinese actor, but a Japanese actor.

Of course, it's not because Yin Jun has a good impression of Japanese actors, but because the movies, animations and games of "Resident Evil" will make crazy profits in Japan, which has been proven in his previous life.

Faced with an overall high profit of more than 10 billion US dollars, Yin Jun certainly did not hesitate to give a Japanese actor a role... Well, the villain role, the popular villain Wesker of the Umbrella Company in Tokyo, has been changed by Yin Jun Became Japanese.

The three main characters in the first episode are Alice, Ryan and Matt.

Matt, who has a rebellious and unruly personality, is definitely not suitable for Fei Xiang, so the only choice is to give Ryan to him.

Originally, Yin Jun was planning to give this role to Keanu Reeves, who had already signed.

Yin Jun has also been chosen as Matt. Besides Captain Jack, who else can perform this kind of performance?

Zhong Chuhong, Fei Xiang and Johnny Depp, the three of them joining forces can naturally set off a youth storm in Hollywood, and they are also the main factors attracting more young people to enter the cinema.

Think about it.

Young people in the age group of 18-25 will still be the main force watching "Resident Evil" 15 years later.

This is equivalent to having a fixed meal ticket for 15 years. How good is it?

Don't think this is a dream.

If you think about the fans who enthusiastically supported the "Transformers" series in mainland China and made it the first blockbuster to have a box office in China that exceeded the box office in North America, you will know that Yin Jun's wish is not difficult to achieve.

It was also after "Transformers" that Hollywood completely paid attention to the Chinese market. Only then did Big and Little Bingbing have the opportunity to play small roles in their super blockbusters. Only then did Zong Zidan and Jiang Wen appear in the Star Wars prequels and play important roles. .

The Americans' long-term thinking is no worse than that of the Chinese. This is also clearly demonstrated in "Star Wars".

In the "Resident Evil" series, Yin Jun wants to create such a big IP with a solid foundation.

In fact, this is not difficult.

In an era like the 1980s when even video games were scarce, novels and comics were the most attractive to young people.

In the future, almost all comic book adaptations that will have high box office will be works from the 1950s to the 1980s.

In the era of proliferation of electronic games and smartphone games, it was not easy to impress people.

Come back to the present.

Today's computer special effects technology is not yet mature, and the special effects of "Resident Evil" can only be left to the digital field.

Fortunately, with the support of Yin Jun, the unrelenting spending on technology in the digital field has already surpassed that of his previous life.

I dare not say anything else, but the technical level they used to produce "Jurassic Park" in the early 1990s is already there today - Yin Jun has seen the workspace they produced in the digital field. Some very lifelike dinosaurs.

The first part of "Resident Evil" only took place in a sealed laboratory, and there were not many grand scenes outside.

The makeup of the zombies, not to mention it, is the strength of the digital field.

In terms of action design, Yin Jun naturally trusts Xiangjiang more.

If it weren't for the serious brain drain in Hong Kong's film and television industry in the 1990s, most of which went to Hollywood, they would never have been able to make good action movies in their lifetime.

Both Zhang Ce's Zhang Family Class and Hong Jinbao's Hong Family Class will send elite soldiers to join the group. Under the leadership of Dong Wei, all actions will be designed until the end of filming.

Let the two major teams send out elites. In addition to Yin Jun's reputation, they also want to open up the situation and show their face in Hollywood, thereby increasing their reputation and opening up a bigger situation.

Yin Jun knew that their efforts were now in vain.

It was not until the 1990s, to be precise, after Yuan Heping's "The Matrix" that Xiangjiang's martial arts instruction would be completely taken seriously.

Before this, Americans did not like this method. They preferred the rough method of one punch and one punch. They felt that this was enough to be a man.

In "Resident Evil", Alice's gorgeous and sharp fighting style is already very popular among comic fans.

But many people don't know whether this fighting method can be perfectly transplanted into movies.

But Yin Jun knew that these martial arts instructors in Xiangjiang could do it.

Hong Kong filmmakers who have created fighting classics such as "Once Upon a Time in the East", "The Invincible", "The Three Heroes of the East", "Slaying the Wolf" and so on can easily deal with a "Resident Evil".

Even when Yin Jun created the fighting scenes in "Resident Evil", he drew on those classic fighting scenes from the "past".

Overall calculation.

With Yin Jun's original script, Spielberg's overall control, the full cooperation of the three major stars, the support of the digital field in special effects, and the action design of Xiangjiang's martial arts director, there are countless The full support of comic fans...

Taking everything into consideration, it is harder for "Resident Evil" to fail than to succeed.

After completing "Resident Evil", United Artists Film Company will have a trump card in the next 15 years, or even 30 years, and can always start this project when it is in trouble.

Why did it suddenly become 30 years?

Very simple!

Prequels, postquels... can we film these different things?

Hollywood’s use of IP is really worth learning!
