In the hotel private room, the atmosphere is quite quiet.±Dingdian Novel,..o

"Junior brother, are you playing so big?" Yang Chaowei looked at Yang Ming with a complicated look. He had watched Yang Ming grow up to where he is today.

Through daily news reports in the media, he knew that with Yang Ming's current net worth, he was fully capable of spending 500 million to make a movie.

Even the box office revenue of the movie "One Shot to Fame" was enough.

But Yang Ming has only been in the film industry for a long time. You have to know how many film companies in the entertainment industry have made a blockbuster movie and lost all their money. In the end, they were severely damaged. There are many clear examples of bankruptcy.

Not long ago, Tianxia Pictures' "Close Away" with an investment of over 100 million, wasn't it a clear negative example?

"Senior!" Yang Ming shouted, his expression full of confidence, and his handsome face looked extremely determined and persistent at this time, "Fifty million sounds like a lot, but when converted into rice dollars, it is just over 100 million. Every year, there are two people in Hollywood. Three blockbusters with a production cost of over 100 million. If our Chinese film company wants to cope with Hollywood's offensive, then we must pay almost the same amount of money as the other party. How can we achieve such a good thing if we want to make a big profit with a small amount?"

Speaking of this, he couldn't help but think of the previous life when "Transformers 4" grossed US$2 billion at the global box office. Everyone was shocked by the disappointing box office data of this Hollywood blockbuster.

But who has noticed the production cost of "Transformers 4"?

210 million US dollars!

That’s almost 1.3 billion yuan!

In the previous life, it was not realistic at all for domestic film companies to spend 1.3 billion yuan to shoot a movie, unless everyone was crazy.

Of course, this is also because Hollywood blockbusters aim at the global box office and have already made the world accustomed to watching their movies, so the global box office is so high.

But Hollywood couldn't have been this big in the first place.

They have also slowly accumulated and established word-of-mouth, and like a snowball, they have grown bigger and bigger, becoming the best choice for viewers around the world to watch blockbusters.

Big production, big scenes, ups and downs of the plot, and shocking special effects are the magic weapon for Hollywood blockbusters to sweep the global film market.

It's simple to say, but extremely difficult to do.

In the previous life, it can be said that Hollywood has been thoroughly studied by the whole world, but no country dares to say that its own movies have completely defeated Hollywood.

In previous lives, China has also tried various methods, including kung fu films, comedies, literary films, gun battle films, and horror films. No matter what method, they have not been able to stop the progress of Hollywood.

Yang Chaowei, who is well aware of the current domestic film situation, naturally understands the meaning of Yang Ming's words.

In recent years, in the face of Hollywood's increasing pressure on Chinese films, domestic filmmakers have not come up with effective methods. Even if domestic film companies follow Hollywood's example in producing blockbusters, the results are still unsatisfactory.

Thinking of this, he suddenly felt something in his heart and said: "Yang Ming, you have shot three movies, all of which have achieved impressive box office results. Many friends I know are studying the success model of your three movies. Could it be that You don’t want to continue this low-cost, high-box-office model?”

"Haha!" Yang Ming smiled helplessly, and then said with a hint of sadness: "If you want to defeat an opponent, you must defeat him head-on. If you win by opportunism, you will win for a while, but you will not win for the rest of your life!"

Although what he said was too absolute, he still said it.

It is true that no matter what type of movie they are, they are all part of the movie, and not every movie can be a blockbuster.

However, the production of a blockbuster film can best represent the level of a country's film industry, which cannot be achieved by ordinary films.

That's why Yang Ming wants to shoot a blockbuster in this world and tell all Chinese filmmakers the direction and development trend of movies in the future.

As the two chatted, they forgot that Yang Ming had just invited Yang Chaowei to join the crew of "2012", and began to discuss some of their opinions on the Chinese film industry.

Zhou Meiling couldn't help it any longer, so she knocked on the table and asked, "Chaowei, how are you? Have you agreed?"

When Su Su saw Zhou Meiling looking so anxious and curious, she couldn't help but pursed her lips and laughed.

Upon hearing this, Yang Chaowei turned to his girlfriend and smiled: "What do you think?"

---

Immediately, several people laughed happily.

Zhou Meiling suddenly realized that although the two of them had not discussed joining the crew, they had already reached a consensus. If there were no major problems, Yang Chaowei would join Yang Ming's crew.

"Yang Ming, how is the creation of your crew?" Yang Chaowei smiled for a while and asked seriously.

"It's already written, and I brought it here." Yang Ming immediately asked Su Su to hand the script of "2012" to Yang Chaowei.

Yang Chaowei took the script and lowered his head to read it. Unexpectedly, after only reading for a while, he was shocked by Yang Ming's creative idea of ​​the script.

It’s an idea for the end of the world!

This is definitely not a new idea. Rumors about the end of the world in 2012 have little market in reality, but this does not prevent film companies from various countries from using this topic as a gimmick to shoot various doomsday-themed movies.

At the beginning, the audience was still a little bit fresh, but after a while, movies with this type of theme slowly went downhill. Although not uninterested, the audience was a little tired of watching them.

He really didn't expect that Yang Ming's next movie plan would be to make a movie about the end of the world.

However, when he saw a rendering drawn by Yang Ming, he was immediately stunned.

Yang Ming is not an art major, so his paintings are naturally not as realistic as professionals, but Yang Chaowei can still imagine what Yang Ming wants to shoot through this rather simple and scrawled rendering.

The sky collapsed, cars were thrown high like toys, two high-rise buildings collapsed and collided, thick smoke billowed, and a plane flew out of the smoke and dust.

"Hiss!" Yang Chaowei imagined this scene in his mind and couldn't help but gasped. He suddenly understood why Yang Ming spent 500 million to produce this movie.

It turns out that money was spent on special effects, and I guess there must have been a lot of shots like this vomiting disaster scenes.

At this time, the waiter had already started to serve the food, but Yang Chaowei could no longer care about eating. He was fascinated by the theme that Yang Ming wanted to express in the script in his hand and the renderings he used through the split shots. If this movie was really

It can produce the effect that Yang Ming wanted in the script.

Then this movie will definitely be a new chapter for Chinese movies.

Seeing that Yang Chaowei was already addicted to the script, Yang Ming smiled helplessly and asked Su Su to accompany Zhou Meiling to eat. He held a teacup there and waited for Yang Chaowei to finish reading the script.

Fortunately, Yang Chaowei also knew that now was not the time to study the script of "2012" carefully. He flipped through it briefly, and after understanding Yang Ming's intention, he closed the script and sighed: "It seems that you have really played a big role this time.

I will go crazy with you!"

"Happy cooperation!" Yang Ming raised his tea cup and smiled.

Afterwards, the two began to discuss the filming of the movie while having dinner.

"How are you going to solve the special effects?" Yang Chaowei asked, "If the special effects are not good, this movie may not achieve the effect you want!"

"Yeah!" Yang Ming nodded and agreed with what Yang Chaowei said. He naturally knew what the special effects pictures meant to "2012".

If the special effects were not good, the effect of the disaster scenes that shocked audiences around the world in this movie would definitely be greatly reduced.

"I have asked people in the company to find a suitable special effects company. If it doesn't work by then, I will go to Hollywood and have a look." Yang Ming said his plan.

"Everything is about movies." Yang Chaowei nodded.

In the movie "2012", there is no doubt that Yang Chaowei and Zhou Meiling are the male and female protagonists, playing the couple who escaped from the United States to China, but there are actually many outstanding characters in the movie.

For example, the doctor, the second male protagonist, who always appears, and the president's daughter, as well as the president who is a great father, and the dedicated assistants beside the president.

These are all relatively outstanding characters.

Especially the second leading actor, the Doctor and the President, these two roles require very high acting skills.

Especially the role of the president. Although he doesn't appear much, Glover, who played the president in his previous life, plays both a great father full of paternal love and a president who is responsible to the people. His performance is vivid and can be described as sensational.

To the extreme, it is one of the rare highlights in this movie.

It must be played by an experienced actor.

When Yang Ming and Yang Chaowei were discussing each role in the script while eating, when Yang Ming stated his casting requirements for the president, Yang Chaowei thought for a moment and named a person.

Yang Ming had heard this person's name countless times and had seen many movies in which this person had acted. After thinking about it for a while, he nodded and felt that this person was very suitable.

Then, Yang Chaowei said that this person's invitation was guaranteed to him. As long as this person met Yang Ming's casting requirements, he would definitely invite this person to join the crew.

This man was definitely an emperor and superstar when he was young. Even though he is old now, he still has many film appointments because his charm is so great.

After eating and briefly discussing the plot, Yang Ming and Su Su sent Yang Chaowei and Zhou Meiling to the door and drove away respectively.

On the car.

"You're really not an easy junior!" Zhou Meiling, who was sitting in the passenger seat, sighed.

"Yes, Bai Chongshi suffered a lot in his hands this time." Yang Chaowei said.

If the person in this world who has the deepest feeling for Yang Ming's identity and status, apart from Liu Xinsheng who has been following Yang Ming, then it is Yang Chaowei.

At the beginning, he also received a call from the old dean asking him to take care of a new student, so he said some fair words to Yang Ming in the media.

But he didn't expect that just one year later, his junior would become a heavyweight in the entertainment industry.

Things are really unpredictable.

However, this is also a rare opportunity for Yang Chaowei to break into the international entertainment industry.

It can be said that after he roughly read the script of "2012", he is now very looking forward to and full of confidence in this movie, which will cost astronomical amounts of money to shoot.
