Chapter 91 Conception of Film and Television Creation Base
Xia Xue is impatient. After dinner, she dragged Chen Bisong and Lin Xiaoman to the company, saying that she wanted to improve the song and see how to deal with the soundtrack. It might take a while.
Fan Wubing stayed and made a phone call from various places, inquiring about the progress of construction projects in various places, paying special attention to the specific situation of the meat food processing base and Liushi low-voltage electrical appliance production base, and the feedback was very good.
The equipment of the meat processing base has already arrived, and the first batch of samples has been produced. After the full cooperation of nutrition experts hired from abroad and domestic seasoning masters, the finished products are amazing in color, fragrance and taste.
The progress in Liushi is slower, the machinery and equipment are being contacted, and the construction of the factory has to wait for a while, but the industrial land has received the full support of the local government, and all forces are currently Mobilized, one is to engage in infrastructure construction, and the other is to recruit troops and recruit talents.
As for the goods that Wuzhi Xiaoji was detained at the customs, there is still no result.
Wuzhi Xiaoji called anxiously and asked his boss, Fan Wubing, whether there will be a trade war between China and the United States?
"This matter probably won't happen, but I'm not sure when it will be negotiated!" Fan Wubing was a little helpless, although he knew very well that there would be no large-scale trade war between China and the United States. , but negotiating this kind of thing, who knows what variables it will produce?
"It's always unresolved. It's very annoying." Wu Zhi Xiaoji was a little crazy. His first big overseas business was not going so smoothly. He was naturally extremely annoyed.
However, there is also exciting news that the Great Wall Company has contacted him, saying that the design of the rocket has been completed, the theoretical obstacles have been removed, and it is now being assembled, and it will probably be faster than expected. Enter the shooting state in advance.
After learning about Fan Wubing's plan to steal satellites, the military also seemed more active. A part of professional satellite communication talents were deliberately transferred from the army to assist Fan Wubing in founding a satellite communication service company, which was regarded as an exchange.
In fact, if experts and staff were hired from abroad to set up a satellite communication company, the cost would definitely be much lower, but Fan Wubing thought it was not safe, and if someone quit, he would be caught blind. With the help of experts from the military, I recruited some graduates majoring in communication to carry out the training. Although it took a little longer, but after all, they were my direct descendants, so I could use them with confidence.
Xia Donghai and his wife haven't been busy in vain these days, and they have signed a dozen or so singers worthy of training, all of whom are young. The main reason is that they have good potential. Although they are not yet popular, as long as the company is willing to package them and meet suitable songs, there is a great possibility of becoming popular.
Fan Wubing has also checked these people, and they are basically pretty good, and some of them are even better in appearance and temperament, so they are very suitable for creating idol dramas.
Therefore, not long after the National Day, Fan Wubing talked to everyone about the creation of film and television dramas.
"Isn't it too early to engage in film and television drama creation?" Xia Donghai is a typical steady-going character. Although I think Fan Wubing's proposal is correct. The development direction set for the company is also correct, but judging from the current situation of the company. It seems that the strength is still a bit lacking, there is a shortage of screenwriters and directors, and I am afraid that they will not be able to create large-scale TV dramas. As for movies, they cannot be completed in a short time.
"You probably didn't understand what I meant." Fan Wubing had to explain his statement to everyone in detail, "The existing domestic film and television dramas are basically large-scale productions, high-end, far-reaching meanings, and thought-provoking. It's more educational, and it's less entertaining. Recently, TV dramas are popular with rural themes, such as women and dogs, women and wells, etc. These can't represent the main theme of the times!"
"The fence woman and the dog, the potter's wheel woman and the well, these are popular TV drama themes!" Xia Donghai felt that Fan Wubing was a little too ambitious.
As the two rural-themed TV series launched in 19* and 1991, both of these two TV series have a lot of loyal audiences, not like Fan Wubing belittled, and the two TV series The screenwriter Han Zhijun won the Feitian Award and the Golden Eagle Award for this, which has a far-reaching impact.
"What we need is entertainment! Entertainment!" Fan Wubing emphasized while knocking on the table.
"What is entertainment?" Xia Xue raised her hand and asked.
"The so-called entertainment is to let the audience see the power of foolishness and madness! We have to integrate all the elements that can make the audience fall into madness and obsession, and create a simple and straightforward TV series that can satisfy the tastes of most audiences. You can pretend to be B, you can pretend to be cool, you can pretend to be vulgar, the only requirement is that you can make the audience have a strong sense of substitution, make yourself the protagonist of the play, and then you will be considered a success!" Fan Wubing explained.
"It's so general, I don't have any sense of direction—" Xia Xue rubbed her hands on the sun's butt and complained.
In fact, New Silk Road Entertainment Company has no shortage of scripts. For a long time, the creation of film and television dramas has been basically monopolized by state-run units, and private companies rarely get involved. This has led to a very strict review of scripts. People don't accept the notebooks at all.
After the high-profile start of the New Silk Road Entertainment Company, many unsatisfactory writers began to submit articles to them. Therefore, Xia Xue has been reading scripts day and night besides going to school. It is still too slow. Compared with Hong Kong and Taiwan, the competitiveness in this area is really insufficient.
sense of direction? Fan Wubing thought about it for a while, and thought it was right. After all, he can’t just rely on pointing directions, and he can also rely on enlightenment, so he said, “For example, ancient costume romance dramas, palace fights and so on. Such things should be It has a very high ratings! Of course, this kind of drama can only be a TV series, and it should be a long-form one. At least fifty or sixty episodes are needed. And movies, the theme of heroes and beauties is always the main theme, I probably already I have some clues, I will give you a notebook to read in a while."
"It seems that this type of film and television drama is not easy to release in the domestic market, right?" Xia Donghai said hesitantly.
"It's up to people." Fan Wubing already had two most suitable books in his mind, one was the long TV series "My Fair Princess", and the other was the movie version of "Myth". It is estimated that the production of film and television dramas in the mainland will be fired up, but it will cut off the money of Grandma Qiong Yao and Uncle Jackie Chan.
However, presumably they don't care about such a small amount of money, do they?
Fan Wubing thought this maliciously, but he didn't consider that he was actually much thicker than someone else's waist when all the hairs were pulled from his body. After all, he still feels that Hong Kong and Taiwan film and television dramas have had too much influence on the mainland, since he has this opportunity. Of course it needs to be reversed, this time it was Qiong Yao and Jackie Chan who were unlucky, and I don't know who it is next time, anyway, none of those who are on the list can escape.
He even wanted to go to Hollywood to compete with the Americans for business, which blockbuster movie could win the box office. Which blockbuster can sweep the world, isn't it all in his head?
When the time comes to hire a few big-name directors who are capable and have ideas that have not yet been developed, and buy a group of male and female superstars who have just debuted, it will be like wind and rain! At that time, Hollywood and Bollywood, all go eat poop!
Fan Wubing thought about it. The saliva flowed down, and I couldn't help wiping it with my sleeve, and it took me a long time to come back to my senses, but seeing that everyone looked like a fool, I couldn't help but smiled embarrassingly, "I'm sorry, I was distracted for a while. "
"I've been used to it for a long time." Xia Xue replied indifferently.
And others are smiling. It's just harder to hold back.
"Uh. Generally speaking, geniuses are always easily misunderstood by others." Fan Wubing said with a self-mockery. Then I roughly told everyone about my plan, and the main body was the routine of "Mythology".
"General Meng Yi of the Qin Dynasty escorted the North Korean princess Yushu into Qin as his concubine. During the period, they were ambushed by the rebels. The two fell into the waterfall holding hands--archaeologist K has been entangled in the same dream for many years. Fascinated, I feel like I'm close but still far away, and I want to find him but I can't start. One day, my friend am came to invite me to participate in the project of researching the mysterious floating power. K agreed to go to Disha to explore the secrets, and separated in distress.
Later, am revealed that the research results of gemstones can resist gravity, and decided to go to Xi'an Terra Cotta Warriors Museum to find the truth. K and am took a helicopter to the canyon above Lishan Mountain and entered the canyon of waterfalls. There is a time tunnel inside, which can lead to the suspension Tiangong! Yu Shu appeared in front of K alive, and Yu Shu, who had been waiting for thousands of years, thought it was Meng Yi who kept his promise and came back to find her.
Mr. Gu also followed to the Tiangong, and it was difficult to scare the appearance of the gemstone with a gun, and he fought with the enchanted AM. In the confusion, AM accidentally pried out the gemstone on the mechanism, the Tiangong lost its buoyancy, and thousands of terracotta warriors came from He fell straight down in the air, mercury gushed out, Mr. Gu was crushed to death by a big rock, Am was buried in the ground, and Yu Shu knew that K was not the real Meng Yi at all, so he wanted to stay and continue to wait for the fulfillment of the promise—”
In order to deepen the appeal, Fan Wubing also hummed the theme song of Mythology, "The man in the dream, the familiar face—you are the gentleness that I wait for—even if the sky and the earth are flooded with tears—I will not let go—"
If I have to say a little regret, it is that Fan Wubing does not know good words. The few lines that were supposed to be sung by Jin Xishan are naturally not tasteful, but this is also very amazing. Xia Donghai and Feng Xiaonan, Xia Xue and Chen Bisong present here , are already dumbfounded and obsessed with it.
"You are the only beautiful myth in my heart—" After Fan Wubing sang the last line, he realized that his contagious power was too strong, and Xia Xue's eyes turned red.
"Hehe, it seems that I have a good talent for telling stories, right?" Fan Wubing said with a dry smile.
Xia Donghai was also fascinated. "I feel that it is a bit related to "The Love of Terracotta Warriors from Ancient and Modern Wars", which was filmed for thousands of years, but the structure is broader, especially the two lines of ancient and modern are intertwined. This way of interpretation seems very novel! It just doesn’t We know whether the audience can accept it."
"Don't underestimate the audience, and don't underestimate the audience, everything depends on the box office." Fan Wubing said a very objective sentence.
"Are you confident in the box office? I think it will cost a lot to make such a blockbuster movie!" Xia Donghai put forward his opinion.
According to Fan Wubing's description, those palaces, those suspended staircases, and those flying special effects. It was indeed costly, and it was difficult for Xia Donghai to make a clear estimate, but it should be a sky-high investment. Can such a blockbuster really recover the cost?
"Don't worry about this, I will hand over the special effects processing part to the technicians in the United States." Since Fan Wubing decided to make such a blockbuster movie. Naturally, many details have to be disassembled. If you rely on the current domestic animation special effects production to complete the special effects in the myth, you will die miserably.
It should be noted that "The Love of Terracotta Warriors in Ancient and Modern Wars" filmed the year before last, even though it was a relatively popular film in China, had a considerable box office revenue, and it made Zhang Yimou famous all at once, but when it comes to martial arts scenes, it is the same as stunt scenes. Fan Wubing could only give one evaluation, which was too miserable.
As for the selection of actors, Fan Wubing felt that, except for Princess Yushu, who needed to be re-selected, the others were like Jackie Chan. For example, Liang Jiahui, such as Sun Zhou and Yu Rongguang who played villains, there is no need to replace them. Anyway, their current net worth is very objective, and they never thought that it will be so outrageous after more than ten years. It is a good time to pick up bargains.
The only thing that needs to be considered is the issue of the shooting location.
Landscape location is easy to handle. There are too many great rivers and mountains in China. No need to worry, but the Qin and Han style buildings. It is a very troublesome thing, plus Fan Wubing also plans to shoot the TV series "Huan Zhu Ge Ge", which requires a Manchu-style building complex, how should we deal with this matter? Can't all rely on computer stunts?
Moreover, although computer special effects can produce many effects, the cost is high and the efficiency is relatively low, so it is not suitable to use them more often!
"Could it be possible that I have to build a palace myself?" Fan Wubing said so, but a flash of inspiration flashed in his head, and suddenly he remembered something, he could really build a film and television base!
It's not that there are no film and television bases in China, but it mainly refers to studios, such as Beijing Film, Changying, Xiying, etc. These are all powerful state-owned enterprises, but they don't have any decent film and television shooting bases, or Three Kingdoms City is considered One, the Grand View Garden is one, but its style is too monotonous, and it can't reflect the magnificent scene at all. However, most of the later ones, such as the Hengdian Film and Television Base, were built around 1997. Now there are still It is a barren mountain and wild cropland.
Before Fan Wubing was reborn, he had been to Hengdian Film and Television Base. It was the film and television city that Hengdian Group invested a total of 300 million yuan to build. It has built Guangzhou Street, Hong Kong Street, Ming and Qing Palaces, Qin Palace, Qingming River Scene, Dream Valley, Pingyan Cave Mansion, Dazhi Temple, Ming and Qing Dwelling Expo City and more than ten film and television shooting bases and two large modern studios span thousands of years of history and space, bringing together the northern and southern regional characteristics.
The huge base scale and rich shooting scenes have attracted film and television directors at home and abroad to lead their crews to Hengdian for filming. At the same time, industries that provide various supporting services for film and television shooting have emerged as the times require. They can not only provide services in professional scene making, equipment and vehicle rental, props, clothing and make-up, but also have a huge team of extras.
Later, the Hengdian Actors Union had more than 2,000 special actors from all over the country. The rise of the film and television industry has also promoted the development of Hengdian's leisure and tourism industry. Whether it is a high-end hotel or a base hotel, there are complete facilities such as amusement park, night club, sauna center, performing arts center, fitness center, and bowling alley. Visitors can experience film and television here and have fun. Yes, just build a film and television base, this is a sustainable industry!
Thinking of this, Fan Wubing immediately jumped up from the chair and ran out quickly.
"What's wrong with him?" Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, although they knew that Fan Wubing was a little crazy besides being a genius, but his role change was a little too fast, right?
