Chapter 754: Decision(1/2)
After Yang Ming told Liang Zhidan that he would tailor a script specifically for him, he sent away his senior brother who was now focused on developing in the entertainment industry.
As a result, in addition to "Tai Chi Zhang Sanfeng", he will also make another "Sha Po Lang".
Although time was a little tight, Yang Ming thought that he should be able to cope with it. He knew that Zhang Kaile would not be able to do the 3 models and data analysis of "Transformers" in less than half a year.
However, he felt that there was no need to be so tired. If he shot all the movies by himself, he would not be exhausted to death.
If Oriental DreamWorks wants to become a giant in the entertainment industry, it will definitely not be possible by relying on him alone.
Several directors from Oriental DreamWorks appeared in Yang Ming's mind. In addition to himself, there were also Mo Xiaohua, Lao Chai, Bian Mingcheng, Zheng Wen and others.
Mok Xiaohua made his debut with the filming of "Meteor Garden". Subsequently, under Yang Ming's arrangement, all the TV series he shot were idol-type. Yang Ming felt that Mok Xiaohua was not suitable for the big screen for the time being.
Lao Chai can be said to be the most experienced director among Yang Ming. Even Zheng Wen, who has won the Golden Dragon Award, is not as good as Lao Chai in some aspects.
Maybe Lao Chai can't take thought-provoking pictures, but he is definitely capable of stunning shots.
"Shaolin Temple" was directed and filmed by Lao Chai. After Yang Ming watched Mao's film, he felt quite good, especially when Lao Chai had been working as an assistant director. After being influenced by his new kung fu and martial arts design ideas, Lao Chai can now completely stand alone.
one side.
It's just that "Shaolin Temple" still needs to be post-produced and then promoted. Lao Chai must have a lot of things and can't spare time to shoot "Sha Po Lang".
As for Zheng Wen, Yang Ming decided to forget it after thinking about it. Although he did a pretty good job in "Path of Glory" and it also got good social response. Even in this year's Golden Dragon Award, Zheng Wen is likely to become Yang Ming's opponent.
.
But Yang Ming finally realized that Zheng Wen was really not suitable for filming a movie with a strong commercial flavor. On the contrary, a small, fresh, and literary type would be more suitable for Zheng Wen.
He can guarantee that if "Slaying the Wolf" is handed over to Zheng Wen to shoot, the storyline will definitely be extremely rich, but Yang Ming cannot guarantee what kind of intense fighting scenes he can make.
After all this calculation, Bian Mingcheng is the only person left in the company.
Yang Ming thought about it and it seemed that Bian Mingcheng was the best person to know about this movie.
Bian Mingcheng is not lacking in both ability and experience. After filming "I Am a Special Forces Soldier" with him, Yang Ming arranged for him to be the director when filming the sequel, and the result was very good.
The ratings of the second part of "I Am a Special Forces Soldier" were still the same as those of the first part, becoming the ratings champion at the time. In addition to the reputation accumulated in the first part, Bian Mingcheng's directing ability also won the recognition of many professionals.
After all, Bian Mingcheng's background was in filmmaking, and now that he is making TV series, he is simply overqualified for his talents.
Yang Ming thought about it seriously, and the more he thought about it, the more feasible it became. Especially when filming the second part of "I Am a Special Forces Soldier", Bian Mingcheng's ideas in this TV series were very consistent with Yang Ming's ideas.
taste.
Cool, handsome, and not sloppy at all.
It has both ideological depth and business elements. It can be said that Bian Mingcheng has mastered these two aspects just right.
Finally, after careful consideration, Yang Ming decided to let Bian Mingcheng film "Slaying the Wolf".
After making this decision, he began to struggle with the role of Wu Jing in "Slaying the Wolf".
Do you want to play this role yourself?
He is really afraid that if he plays this role, countless fans will support the supporting character to kill the protagonist.
When Yang Ming told Sister Zhu about his dilemma on the phone, she told Yang Ming on the phone: "It's not possible, but inevitable. You don't know how popular you are outside now! National idols may have
dian is an exaggeration, but he is definitely the idol of all young people and he definitely deserves his reputation."
"And your senior brother's popularity is basically not much different from that of newcomers in the entertainment industry. In fact, this is not the most important thing. What I am most worried about is that your image on the screen suddenly changes, which will bring some disadvantages.
The consequences, after all, in situations like this, other stars do it only when they have no choice but to change. I don’t think it’s worth it for you to change your style now!”
Hearing Sister Zhu's words, Yang Ming felt very heavy.
He knew that what Sister Zhu said was correct and was for Yang Ming's own sake.
But Yang Ming really likes this character in "Slaying the Wolf".
For an artist whose career is on the rise at a rapid pace, he will not consider changing his screen image, except for those who are crazy about drama.
In his previous life, Jackie Chan had always had a positive screen image. He had never played a negative role, and he had never been beaten to death on screen. The same was true for Nicholas Tse when he first debuted. He had a positive and positive image.
Neither his agent nor the entertainment company behind him will allow them to take roles that harm his screen image.
I think that if Professor Chen's photos had not been so popular, his image would not have plummeted to the freezing point. After a few years of quitting the entertainment industry, he would have taken on any role.
It can be said that if Yang Ming chooses this role, he is likely to cause quite a stir in the industry, and some may even call him stupid.
But the more he thought about it, the more he felt that he wanted to take on this role.
Popularity, will he be worried?
Image, movies are originally the second world of actors. They will taste all the ups and downs of life. Where there is sweetness, there will naturally be bitterness.
Money, when had he ever lacked money?
Yang Ming thought seriously for a long time and decided to play this role himself. When Sister Zhu learned of his decision, she did not persuade him. She knew the personality of her boss very well. Once a decision was made, she would never give up halfway.
.
Moreover, there are so many miracles that have happened to Yang Ming that Sister Zhu dare not and will not use her previous experience in entertainment to measure Yang Ming's gains and losses.
Sister Zhu's most important thing now is to select actors who meet the requirements for Yang Ming's new film.
After Yang Ming decided to play the role originally played by Wu Jing in "Slaying the Wolf", he spent a week at home to write out the scripts of "Slaying the Wolf" and "Tai Chi Zhang Sanfeng", and then went to the company
Call Bian Mingcheng to the office.
"Take a look." When Yang Ming saw Bian Mingcheng coming, he handed him the script he had written.
When Bian Mingcheng saw the script in Yang Ming's hand, his expression suddenly became a little excited. His hands that took the script couldn't help but tremble a little. There was nothing he could do about it, Yang Ming's script was now very rare in the Chinese entertainment industry.
To put it bluntly, it can’t be bought with money at all!
Are you kidding me, is Yang Ming short of money? With a net worth of tens of billions, which entertainment company boss would dare to have more money than this monster in the entertainment industry?
After Bian Mingcheng took the script, he sat on the sofa, lowered his head and started reading the script.
"Sha Po Lang"!
When he saw the name on the script, his eyes couldn't help but light up. When he heard this movie title, he felt that it was extremely domineering and had a unique flavor in it.
Sha Po Lang is one of Zi Wei’s fortune patterns. In numerology, when the three directions and four directions of Qi Sha, Greedy Wolf and Po Jun in the Life Palace are aligned, it is the so-called "Sha Po Wolf" pattern.
Especially in the Chinese folk and Greater China cultural areas, the term Sha Po Lang has a unique charm in it.
Tiansha Lone Star and Sha Po Lang are collectively called the two great fates.
There are countless folk legends about this fate.
Bian Mingcheng perked up and immediately looked down intently.
After a long time, the teacup in front of him had long been drained. When he finished reading everything, he straightened his aching back slightly and looked at the time. Bian Mingcheng found that he had been sitting here and watching for more than two hours.
He was so attracted by this wonderful script just now that he lost track of time.
He looked up and found that Yang Ming was not in the office at this time. Yang Ming's voice came from outside. He was probably discussing something with someone.
Bian Mingcheng's mind went back to the plot of "Slaying the Wolf" that he had just watched.
There is no doubt that if this movie can be shot perfectly, he can guarantee that it will definitely be a classic movie.
Especially the character creation in it made him applaud.
In fact, the plot is not very complicated, and it is even commonplace in the entertainment industry. Yang Ming's brilliance lies in injecting a strong sense of brotherhood into a simple story.
"Friendship" has become the "key" to resolve various conflicts between Inspector Chen and his team members and Wang Bao, Inspector Chen and his team members and Inspector Ma, and Inspector Ma and Wang Bao. Except for the fact that there is no explanation of Inspector Ma at the end, "The Killing"
The story of "Broken Wolf" is very complete, paying attention to the details, without any unnecessary scenes, and the brotherly love contained in every detail makes the film flesh and blood.
The feeling of repaying kindness is very touching. This is the tone of the whole film.
Now, whenever Bian Mingcheng thinks that he might direct this movie, his whole body can't help but tremble. The uncontrollable excitement deep in his soul makes all the cells in his body jump for joy.
He had waited too long for this opportunity.
A director who doesn't want to make movies is not a good director.
Every director knows this sentence, but how many directors can actually pick up the microphone and direct independently?
Bian Mingcheng also met many TV drama directors in the film and television industry last year, and based on his previous acquaintances, no one knows better than him how rare the opportunity to set foot on the big screen is in the entertainment industry.
He had gone to pieces for this opportunity before and almost lost his fortune, but now he had this opportunity right in front of him, at his fingertips.
If he hadn't maintained the last trace of reason, he would have wanted to get up and ask Yang Ming about various matters right now.
At this time, there was a sound at the door, and Yang Ming opened the door and walked in.
"Have you read the script? How do you feel?" Yang Ming saw that Bian Mingcheng had stopped reading the script, so he walked over and asked.
Hearing Yang Ming's question, Bian Mingcheng was excited for a moment, hesitating and speechless. He held it in for a long time before he said, "Mr. Yang, are you really going to leave this script to me for filming?"
Yang Ming was stunned when he heard this. Then he saw Bian Mingcheng's excited expression and realized why the middle-aged man in front of him, who always had a trace of vicissitudes of life in his eyes, was so excited. He couldn't help but sigh quietly in his heart. In this life
He is too far away from the cruel reality of the entertainment industry.
"You are a contracted director of the company. I happen to have a script here and I think you are more suitable for it, so I called you over." Yang Ming said with a faint smile.
"Thank you, Mr. Yang!" Bian Mingcheng slowly regained consciousness and received positive confirmation. He no longer had the worry about gains and losses in his heart and regained his former shrewdness.
Yang Ming sat on the sofa, frowned slightly, and said thoughtfully: "I am going to let my senior brother Liang Zhidan play the role of Ma Jun."
