Soon came the Q&A session for reporters.
"Director Wang, the upper limit for a single film is 3 million, is it too low?"
"If the film project is really good, it passes the review, and it really needs more reasonable budget, then Huaxin or I will make up for the shortcomings!"
"Does Director Wang have plans to shoot a literary film?"
"Not yet, I think my own accumulation is not enough, so maybe when I think it's enough, I will try to make some more in-depth films."
"The funds involved in the literary and artistic film support program are as high as 100 million. Is Director Wang confident that he can recover the cost?"
"No, but if you lose a little money, you can see more outstanding works appear, I think it is worth it."
...
To put it bluntly, although this literary film support plan is indeed a huge benefit for many literary film workers, it still has a long way to go for the entire literary film market.
After all, the market cannot be cultivated overnight.
Wang Yifan did not expend too much energy in this area.
He has almost rested and is ready to start work.
"The Monkey King" This is the film Wang Yifan prepared to produce with the island country.
Regardless of "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" or "Journey to the West", these classic Chinese classics have a wide range of influence and are not limited to China.
In island countries, Southeast Asia is actually very influential.
And the key is that this type of IP is a public IP, Wang Yifan chose Monkey King Monkey King.
Needless to say, Qi Tian Great Sage's fame in China is needless to say, and in the island country, he is also a well-known figure.
Therefore, there is no need to worry about the audience. Of course, in Europe and the United States, there is no need to say more. After all, the Chinese mythology system does not have a wide audience in Europe and the United States. Simply put, it is too complicated. Do not understand.
However, it has a good foundation in island countries and pan-Chinese cultural areas.
Of course, it is impossible for Wang Yifan to shoot according to the original story of "Journey to the West". What he wants to shoot is a full-blooded Monkey King.
In fact, the Monkey King Monkey King in the original work is the least human-like, because he lacks one of the most widespread emotions in human society, love!
In Wang Yifan's view, the Monkey King is incomplete without love.
Of course, there are many Buddhist doctrines in the original work. Monkey King, Monkey King, eventually escaped into the empty gate, so naturally there is no love.
But when making movies, Wang Yifan would definitely not do that.
At his level, why doesn't he want to shoot his favorite movies as he pleases?
"How much is the cost budget?" Wang Yifan's new movie is naturally a highly anticipated existence. Therefore, when Wang Yifan revealed a piece of news, Lin Husheng couldn't wait to ask.
"This time we are also doing a big production. "The Monkey King" requires a lot of special effects shots and a lot of requirements for the scenery, such as the iconic Huaguoshan Shuiliandong, Donghai Dragon Palace, Tianting Nantianmen, etc. . All of these need to spend a lot of money. My suggestion is to cooperate with the local government, it is best to build a Westward Journey theme city." Wang Yifan said with a smile.
In fact, Wang Yifan has always been puzzled by the fact that there are so many theme studios in China, and there are many places in Journey to the West that are very suitable for building studios, but it turns out that there are very few domestic buildings in this area.
Hearing Wang Yifan's idea, Lin Husheng's eyes suddenly lit up.
"Westward Journey theme movie city? Do you think it has something to do with it?" Lin Husheng asked.
"Of course, "Journey to the West" has always been a long-lasting IP. What is rare is that this IP is a public IP. As the special effects technology becomes more and more mature today, the future will be related to myths, Journey to the West, etc. There will be more and more film and television projects. If some of the theme buildings in the mythical world are created, I believe that there will never be a market." Wang Yifan said with a smile.
It is conceivable that if Wang Yifan's "The Monkey King" can be successful, then there will definitely be a wave of Westward Journey.
In fact, as far as the domestic environment is concerned, science fiction films are one category if you want to make big productions, and mythology is also a very good choice, and the key is that this is a unique theme of China.
Therefore, if you really build a "Journey to the West" theme studio, or those in the mythology, such as Fangcunshan, Leiyin Temple, Huaguoshan Shuiliandong, Tianting, etc., there must be something to do.
"Well, you can discuss this matter with some professionals. Let's go back to the movie." Wang Yifan suddenly thought of the project of the film and television city. He is not very familiar with this aspect, but it is because of "Qi Tian "The Great Sage" will need to use these buildings at that time, so if you can get the film and television project in advance, it will naturally be more effective if you start a movie at that time.
And it can save a lot of costs. After all, if there are no ready-made scene buildings for him to shoot and view, then he can only build these scene buildings temporarily, and if they are built temporarily, although the cost will be lower, but they will be used up. Must be removed.
In fact, this time, it is a film co-produced by the Hua Guo Huaxin Group and the Toei Island Group. Toei will definitely make a large investment, and it will definitely not be the strong side.
So Wang Yifan doesn't need to do so many things at all, because the money comes from Toei, so he doesn't need to worry about waste.
But if you can take the opportunity to build up the film and television city, it will be much easier to shoot movies of this type in the future.
However, Lin Husheng is very interested. Now Huaxin has actually achieved the best in the country in terms of content. Lin Husheng can say unceremoniously that Huaxin is the best in the country in terms of content, and there is no one.
However, as a comprehensive film and television media group, Huaxin's physical industry is still imperfect.
And if Huaxin’s own film and television city can be built, it is equivalent to a big step in the physical aspect, and in terms of the improvement of the industrial chain, the film and television city is also a very critical link.
The key is that the studio is ready, it is also a very lucrative business.
However, Wang Yifan obviously doesn't care about this.
"The preparation time should still take a long time. Therefore, if you want to build a film and television city, it is best to hurry up and send people to inspect it in various places. Otherwise, "The Monkey King" can only be built temporarily. "Wang Yifan added.
