Chapter 160 Crazy Stone
"Novel, adapted into a movie?" Gao Yan was stunned and said, "Does this novel have the potential to be adapted into a movie?"
"Yes, I don't think there is a problem. This novel itself is very excellent. Now I heard that this novel has a tendency to be adapted into 3D animation. A Taiwanese businessman is willing to invest!" Wang Zhengfei said.
"3D animation!" Gao Yan's face showed a suspicious look. In fact, it's no wonder that he is really weak. The domestic animation is really weak. It is full of truth, or it is an animal full of eyes, and there is basically no human existence.
This kind of 2D animation can't be done well, and you even want to do 3D. Isn't that a joke? 3D animation is not too new at this time, but it's all monopolized by the United States. It's not China's turn at all. Even if China wants to shoot, the hundreds of millions of dollars alone is enough to deter many people. Yes.
"Yes, 3D, of course, it can't be at the level of the United States, but I don't think it will be much worse. Besides, this kind of work can't be finished in a few years. After all, it's not a movie!" Wang Zhengfei said that if it is to make a movie, no matter how many stunts, a year is still enough. After all, most of the scenes in the movie are performed in real life, but this kind of 3D movie is not the same. It is completely virtual, and there are too many things involved in the technology.
"It's too early to say this in a few years!" Gao Yan thought for a moment and said, "After all, the domestic technology is not up to that level now!"
"But I'm still very optimistic about him, so I'll ask you if you have any plans to adapt it into a movie!" Wang Zhengfei asked.
"Let me have a look first!" Gao Yan said.
To decide where there is such a simple thing to make a movie, it is natural that the story script is appropriate.
After saying that, Gao Yan didn't care that this was Wang Zhengfei's home. He looked at "Qin Shi Ming Yue" by himself.
Wang Zhengfei smiled, stood up, went back to his room, and wanted to change his T-shirt. There was nothing he could do. Just now, his chest was wet with Fu Dan crying, and it was really sad to wear it on his body.
Wang Zhengfei changed into a snow-white T-shirt and came out. Seeing that Gao Yan was surprisingly serious, he did not disturb him. He entered Fu Dan's room and was relieved to see that Fu Dan had just collected the dishes.
Wang Zhengfei smiled and said, "Take it all!"
"Yemp!" Fu Dan nodded and saw Wang Zhengfei change his clothes. He immediately thought of the way he was crying in Wang Zhengfei's arms, and his cheeks flashed a trace of blush.
"Who is that outside?" Just now, Fu Dan put all her mind on collecting the dishes, so she only knew that there were people outside, but she didn't know who came.
"Oh, it's your brother Gao Yan. He brought me something and forgot to bring it up. Now he is reading novels in the living room!" Wang Zhengfei told Fu Dan the beginning and end of the matter with a smile.
"Oh, that's it!" Fu Dan nodded and said. What kind of novel does he read?
"Oh, it's a martial arts novel brought back from Taiwan. I was just discussing with him whether it should be adapted into a movie!" Wang Zhengfei said.
"Adapted into a movie? What kind of novel?" Fu Dan asked.
"It's a novel called "Qin Shi Ming Yue". I'll show it to you then!" Wang Zhengfei said with a smile.
"Yemp!"
At this time, Gao Yan's call came from the living room: "Zhengfei, Zhengfei!"
"I'm coming!" Wang Zhengfei answered, "You play here by yourself first. I'll go and have a look!"
After saying that, Wang Zhengfei turned around and returned to the living room. Seeing Wang Zhengfei coming, Gao Yan said, "It's only been a while, and you're gone. It's not that sticky!"
Gao Yan looked at the direction of Fu Dan's room and smiled.
"Damn it, who knows how long you want to watch it? Let me stay there and wait for you!" Wang Zhengfei immediately counterattacked reluctantly. What, have you finished reading it all?
"Well, I've seen it roughly. I have to say that it's a good story, but the story is too long, and it's too reluctant to be compressed in a two-hour movie!" Gao Yan said.
"We don't want to shoot the last name at once, and we can shoot it in three, five or eight episodes!" Wang Zhengfei said with a smile.
"Even so, it also needs a lot of funds. Hundreds of millions are normal!" Gao Yan smiled a little helplessly and said that the weak disciples of Star Entertainment are undoubtedly reflected at this time. Although he has also been well-mand this year, in addition to the previous investment of 3 million in Fairy Sword, the liquidity of the whole company is only more than 10 million, which is much more abundant than a year ago, but it needs to shoot this. The number of movies is still much worse.
Even if you add the 20 million that Wang Zhengfei can mobilize now, it is only 30 million, which is still far away. At least 70 to 80 million is also needed. If you want to do well, the cost of more than 100 million is not exaggerated. With the current situation of Star Entertainment, there is no way to afford this kind of cost of shooting.
"Hehe, it doesn't matter. This plan is sealed first. We don't have the ability to shoot now, but we can't have the ability to shoot in our lives, right!" Wang Zhengfei said with a smile. In fact, there is another way he didn't say, that is, to raise funds to shoot. It is normal for several investors in a movie, but Wang Zhengfei also thought that Gao Yan would not agree. He would rather seal it up.
"Yes, this is really good. I want to find someone to write the script first. It's one thing to shoot or not, but it's always right to prepare first!" Gao Yan said with a smile.
"Let me do it!" Wang Zhengfei took the initiative to take over the job and said that it was not that he was really idle now, but he still had some ideas about "Qin Shi Mingyue". With the 3D version of his previous life as a reference, Wang Zhengfei felt that it was much simpler to adapt, and he still had some questions about "Qin Shi Mingyue" It's very resentful. He also has some plot bugs. Although "Qin Shi Mingyue" is said to do a good job, there are still a lot of bugs in the plot. For example, in the third part, Xiang Yu doesn't even know the lifesaver Mo family. At that time, there are bugs that need Wang Zhengfei to modify, and he also There are some changes in the settings that need to be completed by himself. For example, in the original work, Jing Tianming is a 12-year-old child. Naturally, it is not suitable to make a movie, because whether it is a novel, a movie or an animation, it is a matter of substitution, and the main force in watching movies is at least a teenager, and a ten The two-year-old child really has no sense of substitution, so even Wang Zhengfei wants to respect the original work, but he has to take into account the actual situation.
"Oy, it's best to have you!" Gao Yan said with a smile. He believed that the script adapted by Wang Zhengfei would never let him down. There were already two pearls in front of him, and he still believed in Wang Zhengfei.
"But I think you'd better write a new script. We at Star Entertainment haven't released new works for a long time. We can't shoot this kind of big production for the time being. Just write some small productions that can be shot!" Gao Yan said.
"You really treat me as a professional screenwriter!" Wang Zhengfei said angrily. But I will pay attention to it!"
Gao Yan's words made Wang Zhengfei fall into meditation. In fact, there are indeed a lot of good ideas in his mind. It should be said that there are many. Originally, his energy was involved in TV series a lot of times before, so he didn't have time to talk about these ideas.
It has to be creative, sell well, and the cost is not high. Wang Zhengfei began to think about it, but most of the movies in later generations suddenly thought of "Crazy Stone" in Wang Zhengfei's mind. Once this idea flashed, it suddenly became out of control. "Crazy Stone" is a modern comedy. The story begins with a valuable emerald found in the toilet. A handicraft factory in Yucheng, which is on the verge of bankruptcy, found a piece of valuable jade when overturning the old factory building. It held an exhibition for economic benefits, hoping to sell it at a sky-high price to improve the situation of not paying wages for several months. Unexpectedly, Mike, an international thief, and a group of local thieves led by Brother Dao, all focused on Jadeite and approached Jadeite step by step through their different "professional skills".
This story is not in line with Gao Yan's requirements. The cost is low, and the cost of publicity is only more than 4 million and 5 million, which is just in line with the strength of the current Star Entertainment company, and the box office is good. The box office of more than 20 million is not particularly excellent, but considering his low cost is already very good. More importantly, his shooting time is still short, only about 40 days. The previous evil of "Immortality" does not count. In fact, "Crazy Stone" is already the best in domestic low-cost movies.
It is very suitable for the current Star Entertainment to shoot.
After thinking of this idea, Wang Zhengfei immediately decided to tell Gao Yan this story.
After listening to Gao Yan from beginning to end, Gao Yan suddenly laughed forward and backward. Although it was Wang Zhengfei's verbal description, the ridiculous surname had been reduced a lot, but Gao Yan still listened forward and backward, and could not restrain himself.
"Hahahaha, it's so funny!" Gao Yan finally stopped smiling.
