Chapter 578 Jingwei Fills the Sea

After Yang Mi said that, she picked up the printed script on the table, sat on the sofa and read it carefully.

But I saw the four characters "Jingwei Reclamation" printed on the cover of the script.

This film is based on the battle between the Yan and Huang tribes and Chi You. It tells the story of Emperor Yan's daughter Jingwei who fought bravely in the battle and unfortunately died in the East China Sea. However, a heroic spirit is immortal and transformed into the magical bird Jingwei, turning the sea into a mulberry field. , and helped the Yanhuang tribe defeat Chi You.

In terms of plot adaptation, considering it was originally a traditional mythological story, it is really a bit big, but there is nothing we can do about it.

Who made him promise Yang Mi to make a special effects blockbuster with a heroine?

After I didn’t want to brag about my awesomeness, I was dumbfounded when I started writing the script because there were so few female mythological characters suitable for film and television adaptation.

For example, in traditional mythology, famous female characters include Nuwa, Queen Mother of the West, Chang'e and others. Except for Chang'e who has Hou Yi as a CP, the first two are neither easy to make up a story nor to form a CP.

After all, for young audiences, heroines and love stories are indispensable when watching movies and TV dramas.

This is also the reason why Jiang Heng did not choose the subject matter in the men's online novels. Most of these novels focus on fighting monsters and upgrading, and the female characters are often missing or stereotyped.

Furthermore, it is not well-known enough, and there may not be a market for adaptation.

In comparison, although "Fights Break the Sphere" is just a novel written by a novice, it has also created classic characters such as Xiao Xun'er, Nalan Yanran, and Medusa. This is one of the reasons why it has greater film and television adaptation value.

It's a pity that in the previous life, Wanda and Xinli Media actually used the martial arts movie model when filming the film, and came up with the trick of "fighting spirit turning into a horse", which was a bit laughable.

Yang Mi looked at it seriously, while Jiang Heng sat aside and drank tea slowly.

I expected that Damimi would not be able to finish watching it for a while, so she even went to play two games of "League of Legends".

"Ah, I've finished reading. It's so well written!" Damimi suddenly said when she saw Jiang Heng finished playing the game.

"Have you finished reading?"

"Well, that's great. It's really a movie with a big female lead. Jingwei has a lot of scenes!"

Jiang Heng said with a smile: "I promised you something, did I make a mistake?"

"No, no, my husband is so kind!"

Da Mimi said in her unique tone. Jiang Heng was so distraught that he couldn't help but grab her hand.

"Do you know how many brain cells I lost writing this script?"

"You're much older, aren't you? I'm not going anywhere these days, I'm just keeping you company and making some delicious tonic!"

"No, I'm afraid I'll lose more if you're here!"

"Disgusting!" Yang Mijiao said angrily, but her heart felt warm.

Then I asked Jiang Heng how he came up with the idea of ​​filming Jingwei, because when they met a while ago, Jiang Heng had plans to film "Rat Spirit".

"Everyone has seen too many movies about Sun Wukong and Tang Seng falling in love, and there is nothing new about them anymore. If we film it, it will just be that the special effects are better and the fighting scenes are more exciting, but it is not interesting!"

"It's true, but I didn't dare to say it at the time!" Damimi said with a smile.

Jiang Heng said: "Later on, I ran out of ideas for a period of time. I was thinking about a heroine. I just filmed Dayu controlling floods and let you play Tu Shanjiao in the film. But the audience knows that Dayu During the flood control period, she never entered the house three times. This Tu Shanjiao is a pure vase, so fooled!"

Damimi looked furious when she heard this, "It's a good thing you didn't choose this, or I would bite you to death, ah!"

Jiang Heng smiled, "Are you scaring me?"

"you guess?"

Jiang Heng just rubbed Yang Mi's head and messed up her hair, "But then I thought about it, how could I do that? I'm so sorry for your expectations. She must be a big heroine and have more roles!" "

When Yang Mi heard this, her eyes were filled with little stars, and she hugged Jiang Heng's arm, "Honey, I'm so happy. I never expected that you would prepare such a script for me!"

It should be noted that in the film and television industry, actors compete for roles in order to "steal the show", and there are numerous overt and covert fights. The result is that people with greater "popularity" or more powerful connections will add scenes in various ways, destroying the original script structure.

The plot of the film turned out to be poor, and the audience called the screenwriter "stupid".

The question is, no matter how much those people can "steal the show", how much can they steal?

No one can compare with her own, tailor-made, huge investment, cool special effects, and an all-star cast to accompany her. She just needs to show her best acting skills and wait for the film's reputation and box office results after it is released.

Da Mimi was so excited that she didn't fall asleep for half the night, so Jiang Heng stayed with her. The two of them went to bed at dawn and woke up at noon.

When he turned on his phone, there were naturally various phone calls and WeChat messages. Jiang Heng picked a few important ones and sent them back.

Immediately he came to the kitchen and saw Damimi wearing his shirt and busy cooking.

Jiang Heng walked over and hugged him from behind, "Why don't you sleep a little longer and just ask the hotel to send you food?"

"I just want to make something for you to eat with my own hands. My craftsmanship is average, so don't mind!"

Jiang Heng said in his heart: "I just don't mind, so I let you order takeout!"

Of course, this cannot be said.

Please...you....collect_()

I sat on the sofa and waited for a while, then went to the dining table to eat about twenty minutes later.

Yang Mi was away filming all year round, and her cooking skills were quite mediocre. Although she only cooked two dishes, she made the kitchen look like "a war in chaos", with pots and pans laid out for a long time.

When Jiang Heng went to serve the meal, he couldn't help but sigh: "Looking at this posture, people who don't know better would think you are going to have a Manchu-Han banquet!"

"Ah, that's annoying, don't say that!" Yang Mi said angrily.

Jiang Heng laughed and handed over the small bowl of rice.

He was just bored and was deliberately making fun of her, not that he was disgusted.

Besides, even with Yang Mi's current wealth, she would have no problem hiring someone to cook for her whole life.

After sitting down, the two of them ate and talked about the preparation of the film.

In terms of investment, Jiang Heng's initial estimate was 200 million US dollars, which made Yang Mi very happy.

200 million US dollars, converted into RMB, is 1.4 or 1.5 billion!

More importantly, the pay of mainland actors is still cheaper than that of Hollywood, which means that there is more money to be used in special effects production, and the film effect will definitely not be bad.

In addition, Jiang Heng plays the male lead, and she can already imagine the huge sensation after the film is released.

By then, the box office in the mainland will be at least more than 4 billion, which will definitely be more impressive than Zhang Ruolan.

Adding the box office of "The Great Wall", these two films alone can make more than 8 billion.

If there is another comedy movie by "Happy Twist", it will crush that one in all aspects.

Thinking of this, Yang Mi suddenly said, "Oh, by the way, is Happy Twist going to make a new movie recently?"

Jiang Heng was stunned, but he also understood what was going on in an instant!

"Why, do you want to participate?"

"I just think that their comedy is pretty good!"

"You, don't be greedy, make this one well!"

"Oh, I see!" Da Mi Mi said aggrievedly. (End of this chapter)
