765. King Kong is coming
Chu Jie was stunned for two seconds before grinning and pretending to be fierce: "Listen, I am the Monkey King of Huaguo Mountain Water Curtain Cave. It is you, the female fairy, who bullies my children here? And occupied my Water Curtain Cave?"
"I'm back today, Grandpa Monkey, I want you to look good!"
"Okay!" Wang Yifan couldn't help but smile and applaud.
In this section, Chiyuki Nakajima and Chu Jie's performances were very natural.
And it is exactly the effect Wang Yifan wants.
The next shooting was also bumpy.
Especially for action scenes, because "The Monkey King" is a mythical movie, it is naturally impossible to fight like past martial arts films.
In this regard, Wang Yifan found the top action guidance team in China.
But even so, it still didn't go so smoothly.
However, Wang Yifan was not in a hurry at all.
After all, it’s just the beginning and the crew is still in the running-in period.
Even if it is a crew that has been working with for many years, the running-in period still exists.
After all, we are not filming together all the time. Although we have a certain understanding, each movie is different.
Busy time always passes quickly.
In the early two weeks, the crew's filming was not very smooth. This was not smooth, not only the actor's performance, but also Wang Yifan himself, but also in various aspects.
For example, prop group, special effects group, action guidance, etc.
This is the running-in period.
Everyone has their own way of working, and likewise, actors need time to get into the state.
However, half a month later, the filming of the movie began to go smoothly.
When the actors enter the state, although some unexpected things happen in other aspects, they can be solved as soon as possible.
In terms of action guidance, it has also begun to improve with continuous corrections and improvements.
"The Monkey King" sets the shooting cycle of Wang Yifan to be three months.
It is planned to be released in the New Year holiday next year or the Spring Festival holiday.
After all, shooting is one aspect, and post-production is also one aspect. Although most special effects are followed up while shooting, the production of special effects often takes longer.
Two months passed in a blink of an eye.
The progress of "The Monkey King" has not been accelerated, but there are no problems. It is proceeding in an orderly manner. According to the current situation, it can basically ensure that the shooting is completed within the scheduled three-month shooting cycle.
However, this king of heaven Yifan had to temporarily give the crew a few days off.
On the one hand, it is because it is going to be filmed in a transitional manner, and the filming location of "The Monkey King" is more than the Mythical World Theme Film and Television City.
There are some scenes that require shooting in other places.
And these are not the main reasons. The main reason is that "King Kong" directed by Chen Shaojun has officially ended!
This movie has been a competition for nearly two years.
It can be said that Chen Shaojun has also exhausted his energy for this movie.
As Chen Shaojun's best friend and boss and the largest investor of "King Kong", Wang Yifan naturally cannot not pay attention to it.
Moreover, the production cost of "King Kong" is also a new height for creating Star Dream investment.
The production cost of "King Kong" alone is more than US$100 million, which is because the charges and labor costs of special effects companies in China are much cheaper than those in Hollywood.
"King Kong" is definitely a super blockbuster.
But because of this, Chen Shaojun's pressure is extremely great.
After all, cast movies like "King Kong" are not something that everyone can control.
During the filming process, "King Kong" actually had many problems, but fortunately, it has finally been full of hardships now.
But even so, Chen Shaojun was still uneasy.
Look, as soon as "King Kong" finished, he pulled Wang Yifan over.
The trial of "King Kong" was filled with the entire screening hall, just theater vendors from all over the country.
This is also the treatment that super big productions deserve. After all, with investment and promotional budget, the cost of this movie is likely to exceed 1 billion, which means that the global box office will have to exceed 2 billion to make up for the money.
When we look at many big productions, we will find that there are many film and television companies involved in it and investment companies.
It’s nothing more, because large productions require large-scale screenings and a large number of promotional advertisements.
These are difficult to achieve by Huaxin alone.
Therefore, a movie of the scale of "King Kong" must require a lot of support.
This time, several major theater giants and film and television giants in China have sent people here.
The schedule of "King Kong" is the New Year's Day, and the release date is December.
The screening room that can accommodate 500 people is full.
In the front row, Wang Yifan looked at the big screen quietly. Chen Shaojun sitting on his right side was a little nervous: "I'm a little nervous, I'm on the horse. If this movie is screwed up, I probably won't dare to play big productions in the future..."
Wang Yifan smiled and said, "If you only look at it from the perspective of the audience, I think it's okay. Moreover, if you don't believe in yourself, don't you believe me? As long as you are not fooling around and film according to my script outline, I think it should be okay. There should be no problem with the 2 billion box office."
The script was written by Wang Yifan himself. Although the movie "King Kong" has changed a different world, director, and actor, Wang Yifan is very clear that the potential of this movie is indeed very great. If it is not expected, it is not difficult to have a box office of more than 2 billion yuan worldwide.
In fact, Wang Yifan has seen some well-made clips before, which are not worse than the original version of "King Kong" in his previous life. Chen Shaojun strictly followed the script, so Wang Yifan felt that the problem was not big.
After all, this is a commercial blockbuster. In fact, many times, there are many things to consider, but not many.
There are probably two aspects, one is special effects. After all, the main feature of "King Kong" is special effects.
The other one is the plot, which means telling a good story.
The others are secondary.
What is most afraid of in this kind of movie is that the director is to force his own ideas into such movies. That is the most terrifying thing.
For example, Director Li from Baodao in his previous life took on the Hulk movie in Hollywood. The professional evaluation of that movie was very good, but the problem is that the movie itself is positioned as a popcorn movie, but it turned out to be made into various humanistic concerns and philosophies. It would be a mystery if ordinary audiences like it.
This is a typical director's personal movie. This kind of personal movie has no problem with literary and artistic movies. After all, literary and artistic movies actually seem to be more of a derivative of the director's thoughts, but this is a commercial movie. The audience does not want to watch humanistic and philosophical thoughts at all. What they want is to enjoy and watch refreshingly. Popcorn movies are the king.
