Middle Age: A Leisurely Life in the Entertainment Industry

Chapter 368 Will it become water-injected pork?

In fact, this microfilm was remade by an Indian director, and the cost was not too high, about 450 million U.S. dollars or about 3000 million yuan.

The domestic box office in India is not high, only 1500 million US dollars.It is said that it took only one month from the introduction to the domestic release, and there was no time to promote it. There were Chinese and foreign commercial blockbusters such as "Anti-Corruption Storm 4" and "Thunder Shazam" that were released at the same time, and the industry was not optimistic.

But unexpectedly, it was very popular, with a box office of 3.2 million yuan.At the Chinese box office, it is the third highest Indian movie, second only to Aamir Khan's masterpiece, "Let's Wrestle!"Dad" and "Mystery Superstar".

Although it is based on the original micro-movie, the plot is complicated and confusing, with reversals and reversals, making the audience hooked.The artistry is not bad either, having won the Indian Film Audience Award for Best Film and Best Actor.

In the original time and space, Yu Dongqing had watched this movie several times.

Yu Dongqing thought, if he remakes it himself, the cost probably won't be so high. If he takes advantage of the shareholder style of micro-movies, the box office may be even higher if the publicity is proper.

Why don't you try it?
Making a movie is a very troublesome thing. Yu Dongqing can't do it alone. First of all, he needs an excellent producer, which can save him a lot of effort.

He thought of Li Wan.

Li Wan used to be the producer of "Hello, Teacher" and "Youth in Youth" by Mingmei.

In fact, Li Wan had already called Yu Dongqing earlier and asked him if he could remake "The Tuner".

When Yu Dongqing called Li Wan, the other party smiled and said, "I knew you were going to reshoot! Just write the script and shoot well. As for the film project approval, crew preparation, and financing, all the messy things are left to me!"

"Let me make a statement first, I have the final say on the actor's affairs! You can't intervene in the specific shooting process either!

"Okay, okay, I know, I will never interfere with anything in your filming, okay?"

"Also, you don't need to look for funds anymore, my studio will invest all of it." Yu Dongqing added.

Unexpectedly, Li Wan disagreed.

"That can't be done. I need to invest in my studio to some extent. If you eat meat, you want me to drink some soup?"

"Look at what you said, you don't worry about losing your investment and losing your money?" Yu Dongqing said half-jokingly and half-seriously.

Li Wan laughed loudly on the phone: "Loss? You are not afraid of me, what are you afraid of? If you lose blood, I will admit it!"

Ah?
Of course, the script for choosing Yu Dongqing has not yet been written, and the cost budget cannot be made, so the investment matter will be put aside for the time being.

The most important thing now is to write the script.

"Holly, you have to hurry up, I'll prepare the crew for you now, let's try to stage it in the prime time of the Spring Festival!"

What the hell!

You don't even have a script yet, you kid just figured out what to start playing?

The two parties discussed some details on the phone, and the specific cooperation agreement was of course officially signed by the studios of both parties.

Yu Dongqing is going to remake that "Tuner", it is no longer a micro movie but a commercial blockbuster!
This news was released simultaneously on the official Weibo of the two studios, which immediately attracted the attention of netizens.

After all, the brilliance of that micro-movie is obvious to all.

Some people applauded, hoping to make a better-looking film than that micro movie, so that everyone can enjoy it, but some people are worried.

This movie is mainly suspenseful and thriller, but the micro movie has explained the whole story very clearly. If it is remade, will it be made into a water-filled pork?

Ma Kai held such doubts.

Ma Kai is a professional film critic and a self-media practitioner. His film review column is very popular, with millions of fans, he is a big V in the film and television industry.

He liked watching the micro-movie "The Tuner" made by Yu Dongqing very much, and wrote several film reviews for it. He analyzed the film from the results and details, and the number of clicks was quite high.

Hearing that Yu Dongqing decided to remake this movie, he was happy, but he also raised his concerns: If a 13-minute micro-movie is now extended to about two hours, both the structure and the plot will have to be redesigned. There will be no suspicion of water injection?
After all, Yu Dongqing is just a famous singer and musician and an excellent screenwriter, but he has only made two micro films and has no experience in directing commercial films at all!

Ma Kai also @超东青 on his Weibo.

But Yu Dongqing ignored it.

At this moment, Yu Dongqing was discussing the script with Li Wan in her office.

Just after the National Day, Yu Dongqing called Li Wan, saying that the script had been written, and he came to his office to discuss it.

"So fast?" Li Wan was very surprised: "I thought you needed at least ten and a half months?"

"Didn't you say that it will be staged in the prime time of the Spring Festival? I have been writing day and night throughout the holiday, without rest." Yu Dongqing joked.

"Hard work, hard work." Li Wan was greatly moved when he heard this.

How did you know that Yu Dongqing wrote it in only three days, and the plot was basically unchanged, but it was localized and modified some content that did not conform to the domestic reality.

The story happened in Yanjing.

Now, Li Wan is sitting on the sofa and concentrating on reading the script.

It was very thick, with nearly [-] characters in more than ten pages, and it took Li Wan two hours to read it.

Yu Dongqing drank tea leisurely.

"How is it? Give me your opinion." Yu Dongqing watched the other party put down the script and asked with a smile.

Li Wan said, "To be honest, Dongqing, I was very worried after signing the agreement with you."

"worry about what?"

"I'm worried that the script you wrote will become water-filled pork." Li Wan was also very frank: "It's just like what the self-media person named Ma Kai said."

"You mean Ma Kai? He once @ me, I ignored him." Yu Dongqing smiled slightly: "Then what do you think now?"

"The changes are very large, except that the idea of ​​the film is basically the same, but the story is almost brand new!" Li Wan was a little excited.

"The content has been expanded, but the suspense of the plot has not been diluted. There are so many reversal plots in it! There are also more black humor and discussions on human nature. The commercial nature does not dilute the artistry of the original micro-movie!"

"After the script is finalized, we can proceed to the next step?" Yu Dongqing said again.

"Okay! I'll do the budget. By the way, the actor's affairs, especially the leading role, should be implemented quickly. The salary will involve the cost of the entire film." Li Wan reminded.

"I've confirmed that the female lead is Ye Xiaomin who starred in "Youth in Youth"."

"Her? Her acting skills are good, and she can play the leading role in this movie, Li Meng." Li Wan immediately agreed, but suddenly he thought of something: "Dongqing, did the coal boss ask you? You won't let him invest, right?" ? As I said, my studio will also invest in it!"

"I did." Yu Dongqing briefly explained Zhang Longwen's situation with him: "I only agreed to let Ye Xiaomin play the leading role."

"That's good! Hurry up as the male lead, get these two leading actors, and the rest is easy to talk about."

The female number one has been determined, and now it is time to find an actor for the male number one.
