Chapter 246: I took over

Chapter 246 I took over
"Magic Yang returns to science fiction."
"Fantastic Young teamed up with José Weyden to announce plans for the new mysterious sci-fi" Firefly "!"
According to reports from the 61st World Science Fiction Convention, Rotten Tomatoes and Yahoo Entertainment reported that Wang Yangtu had his new plan "Firefly" at the site of the event yesterday. Later, in an interview with reporters, he and Joss-Waden both laughed that they could not reveal too much information, because this film is still a prototype, but this will be a very pleasant movie.
When it comes to the scale of production, Magic Yang said that there is no clear budget for the time being, but it will be what people call "big production".
As expected by reporters, the official website of "Firefly" was quietly online that night, and the content was not much. The beautiful pages were only official news reports, photos of Wang Yang and Joss-Waden, and other photos, which were released at the science fiction conference. The concept map; to the surprise of the science fiction mates, there are two open concept maps.
In addition to the "cliff spaceship" reported by the media, in another picture, I saw a wildfire burning wilderness, and many soldiers wearing different styles of uniforms on both sides stood a few meters apart and stood majesticly facing each other. The military uniform on the right was clean and tidy. It has the streamline style of military uniform with traditional interstellar sci-fi; the one on the left is broken and dirty, and it seems to be a western cowboy. The officers at the front of both camps are involved.
The official website of "Firefly" belongs to the flame entertainment network with integrated accounts. As soon as the online news spread, the message board kept adding new messages from the shadows: "It's so exciting!", "This is really a Good news! "," Looking at the two concept pictures, does the story say about the interstellar army? I hate war now. "," I just heard this news from my friends, we can look forward to it! "...
User Hubbard-f said quite calmly: "Joss-Waden is very talented as a screenwriter, and his episodes are great; but the fact is that his directorship and production skills are much worse. In" Buffy the Vampire Hunter " "," Angel ", his episodes are not the best, I do n’t think he can help Magic Young on the big screen." Curtis-h said: "Joss Whedon is a new screen, Miracle Yang is not, the director is the true soul of the movie. "
Augustine, whose head is a cat, said: "From the two conceptual images, the scene of" Firefly "is very large, and there are many different scenes and a lot of characters, which is a new test for Yang."
Now that "Firefly" has no information other than the name and concept map, the online media just reported it briefly. It seems that the successful proposal did not slow him down. "The Devil Wears Prada" has just ended. New films are about to be made.
However, it is worth noting that Yahoo Entertainment, with its magical past, this special effects blockbuster is likely to be released in the summer vacation of 5 years, which means that it will hit "Star Wars Episode 3", the same type of science fiction film. Head-on collision! Magic Young vs George Lucas.
Of course, it cannot be ruled out that Wang Yang was slow to shoot this time, or avoided the "Star Wars Episode 3" from the schedule, and put it in the 5-year Christmas file, or even the 6-year summer holiday file. If this happens, Yahoo editor Allison said: "I will be very disappointed, that is not the style of magic Yang."
"I'm worried now that everyone's expectations for this movie are very high! It's as unbearable as Matrix 2." Gabriella's message, I don't know if the name is actually " A fan of "Singing Dance Youth Net", she wrote: "There is no doubt that Magic Young faces a huge challenge. As long as he is slightly wrong, he will face huge accusations."
This is also a kind of differential treatment of skin color. The mainstream media's patience and tolerance for white idols will always be very high, and they will be praised when they have a little achievement; other ethnic groups are relatively strict, and even try to find ways to deface and destroy. Michael Jackson, for example, and Indian director m-Knight Shamaran in recent times.
In 1 Sixth Sense came out, and became a "genius director", a hot young star in Hollywood, and the media did not hesitate to praise. However, in the following years, "Undead Tribulation" and 2 years of "Tianzhao" appeared to be quite satisfactory and no surprises. Although the audience's likeability is still on the qualified line, he has already been accused by many media: "It will be two times", " Poor poet. "," Talent is lost. "...
If he were to get close, the Golden Sorrel Plum Prize would fall on him at any time.
From the age of 18 to the "7-game winning streak" to the age of 23, he also won the youngest Oscar best director. Wang Yang's reputation in Hollywood in the film industry is already very clear, but he is popular in American culture. One of the symbols, the proud American Dream ... Just like NBA's new champion LeBron James this year, it has been titled "ng" before playing an NBA game, and is expected to become Michael Jordan in the future.
People's expectations for the magical Yang have accumulated to the present, and have reached a critical point long ago, and will burst at any time.
"I hope everyone will treat" Firefly "with a normal attitude! It may be an ordinary wonderful entertainment movie, don't put too much pressure on it, I don't want to see" Matrix 2 ". User Gil-e on the official website Immediately after posting the message, he was utterly smashed by the latecomer, Frey-1 said: "You usually treat Magic Yang with his mentality, maybe he is very unhappy!" Courtney-c said: "Relax! Yang Yang We will be disappointed! "Jenny said:" I want to see him say 'I want to get an Oscar for 6 years!' "
Bliss-j said: "I was in the event hall of the Science Fiction Convention at the time, and I also played an undisclosed ending of" The Ninth District "on the spot, which is really uncomfortable! But Magic Yang is about to get married soon. He said that he had made a huge change and was full of optimism. So we do n’t have to worry at least that "Firefly" will suppress misery! "Kelly said," I think it must not be that simple, otherwise why nominate Oscar? "...
On the August issue, the 3rd annual Hugo Awards ceremony was held. Under the host of sci-fi narrator Peter-Robinson, the awards were presented one after another. The best feature-length award was awarded by Robert-J-Sawyer ’s
Won, the best short-form video production award was awarded to
Buffy the Vampire Hunter: Conversation with the Undead
, and José Weden lost to himself; and the trophy for the best long-form video was not much suspicious. "District 9" was taken away.
After the Golden Globe Award nomination, Oscar nomination, the 29th Saturn Award for Best Science Fiction Film, etc., it has added a heavyweight award, which can be said to complete the Grand Slam, all the praise that can be obtained for a science fiction film. All won.
The science fiction mís also immediately looked forward to "Firefly", why not? Rotten Tomatoe's vote "What do you think of Yang's new work" Firefly "?" Shows that 75% of people have chosen the highest level of "over-expectation ceiling", the second level is "very looking forward to", and only 5% of them are busy fans Voted the lowest level of "don't care", and the remaining 3% shadow mí was "general mentality".
"Mark, this must be a big production."
Santa Monica in Sunny Beach, the office of the chairman of Flame Film Company, the computer screen on the table shows lines of script text, Wang Yang gently turned the chair and looked at the mark in a suit sitting opposite -Slante, thinking about it: "I thought of the final production cost budget ... should be between 150 million and 200 million! Up to ten thousand yuan will do."
There is only a rough idea, and he does not know what the final budget will be, because the filming plan has not been decided yet, the script, crew, cast ... everything is blank.
It will be hard to say whether some new technologies will be used for shooting. In the first imax-3d feature film of this year, Robert Zemigis's "Polar Express" uses "action performance capture" technology to produce live-action cartoons. However, there are very few real 3D screens and imax screens. There are only a few in the world, and the 3D camera technology is not mature. Wang Yang does not think it is the time to pursue 3D.
However, in his preliminary discussions with Fireflies and Fireflies on Fireflies, Varet suggested that some scenes be shot with a 65mm imax film camera, which is naturally the lens of the high part of the film, which is the highest quality image now. The capture system can shoot a lot of big action scenes in this way, because the traditional film is only 35 mm; and the quality of the imax film is particularly high because of the high quality.
In post-processing, you can print the lens of the 65 mm film onto the mm film; the remaining lenses shot with a 35 mm "anamorphic" wide-screen camera will allow the technician to change the aspect ratio of the screen and use this form to enter the imax of the mm The big screen. Contrary to ordinary projection theaters, 65 mm is compressed into 35 mm, but the unimaginably huge scene will also bring new visual shock.
However, the result of this is a sharp increase in production costs. The shooting cost of 65mm imax film is four times that of 35mm ordinary film. At the same time, a large cost will be added to the later conversion and copying.
Now Sony and other companies are working on digital cameras. Once they come out, many producers will definitely choose low-definition digital shooting in order to save costs. Now, no one will take the imax film for documentaries except Robert Zemigis. filming. However, Wang Yang wants to have better picture quality and better display of high scenes, and imax film is also a highlight of the publicity that attracts the audience, so he has agreed to the recommendation of Vale-Fister.
"200 million, the company's finances can bear." Mark Srant nodded, after all, 200 million is not all smashed in one breath, there is a lot of capital turnover, but he still frowned and asked: "We invest independently?"
The last ten thousand production cost of "t-21-team" was finally fully invested in flames, but only in some overseas countries, I chose to cooperate with large companies, which is considered to share some of the benefits in order to obtain marketing promotion. good relationship.
"I just looked at the financial situation just now, and there is no need to attract investment at the moment." Wang Yang straightened up, picked up the mouse and clicked, looking at the screen and smiling: "I believe that" Firefly "has no problem in recovering costs. And I am confident that it will make a lot of money. Won't it be "Windspeaker"? No. "
"Boss, the risk is almost in your account, you just do it." Mark Srant opened his hands with no comments, now he really has no need, no reason to persuade anything, this young boss has proved himself many times The incredible ability to attract gold can be doubled by giving him money! These two hundred million dollars, any big company dare to swallow; even some independent companies, will also jointly invest, not to mention the flame movie.
However, there is always risk in every investment and you have to be cautious. Mark sat with his hands in his hands and smiled, "From my point of view, the investment of 200 million yuan is very large, and it is also good to pull 3-4 independent production companies to invest together."
"Just I have money, maybe I register several Flame Movie 2, Flame Movie 3, Flame Movie 4, and then invest together to make money and lose money together." Wang Yang said with a few smiles and pressed the keyboard, Mark Srant shrugged. :"good idea."
Recently, the company has entered the fourth quarter. With the end of the summer vacation period, the funds have been returned to a certain extent; and the main projects of "Lindy Speed" directed by Lin Yibin have ended shooting in May, and the post-production is almost completed. , Scheduled to be released in May of 4 years, "Dancing My Life" by Anne Fletcher will be released in the month, "The Chainsaw" will be released in November, and "The Devil Wears Prada" will be in December.
The company will soon open several new movies with large investments, "Mr. Hughes 2" and "Hangover 2" will be on the agenda.
Christopher Nolan just rejected the microphone of the director of Warner Bros. "Batman". Some time ago, Warner Bros. decided to reshape the "Batman" series, and immediately set off a huge selection of directors. At the beginning, there was only one candidate Wang Yang. Warner Brothers spokesman Scott Rowe claimed: "We are in Warmly invite Magic Yang to take control of Batman, which is almost endless! "
This really excited movie fans, they have been looking forward to the magical heroes for a long time! It's just that the news is not yet hot. Wang Yang's speaker clarified the rumor. The Warner Bros. did indeed kindly invite Wang Yang to direct, but his work schedule has expired, and he has not considered taking over "Batman."
It turned out to be just the hype of Warner Bros.! When the fans were disappointed, Warner continued to choose directors for Batman. Ding Campbell, Darren Aronovsky, Christopher Nolan and others were all on the shortlist, while Nolan Planning for "Mr. Hughes 2".
Wang Yang did not express any opinion on this matter. He has seen the "Batman" series directed by Nolan in his mind. "The Dark Knight" is a big classic. If the direction of "Batman" has not fallen to Christopher -In Nolan's hands, the writer of "The Dark Knight" will definitely not be Jonathan Nolan. What will happen to "Moment of War" first? He did not know that Ding Campbell might have made it into a 7-style cool film, and Darren Aronovsky might have made it even darker than the Nolan brothers.
It ’s not necessarily bad filming by others; but what is certain is that Batman will lose a classic series. It's a pity, but on the other hand, Christopher Nolan went to shoot "Mr. Hughes 2", but also had the opportunity to create classics.
Because from the "Mr. Hughes" film itself, from the chat discussion with Nolan, Wang Yang can see that the first "Hughes: Secret Life" is brewing and trying hands, just like "Moment of War"; second The Hughes: Power, Money, and Madness is likely to usher in a big explosion. So in his own right, he hoped that Nolan would shoot "Batman" and would like to see Nolan shoot "Mr. Hughes 2".
Nolan finally did not ask Flame to postpone "Mr. Hughes 2" or give the microphone to others. He declined the invitation to direct the Warner Brothers blockbuster and did not participate in the competition of "Batman". Mr. Hughes 2 ". So this sequel is on the production schedule, and if it is completed as scheduled, it will be released in the Christmas file for 4 years, and it will hit the Oscar again.
"Yang, it's a pity to miss" Batman "to be honest, I also want to try such a big production; but if I mess up" Mr. Hughes 2 ", I will be more sorry." Nolan told Wang Yang on the phone , A faint voice has a firmness. Wang Yang had an idea and said: "Flame welcomes your big production plan; and if there are any heroes to move to the screen, we will fight for you." Nolan only said: "I know."
"Is there a script called Brokeback Mountain looking for investment?" In the office, Wang Yang pointed to a document on the desktop. As he picked up the document, Mark Slanter doubted: "" Broken Mountain "? It seems that he has heard of ..." He looked at the file a few times, and immediately frowned, "Broken Mountain, that is the west." The theme of cowboy love is! "Wang Yang nodded, and Mark became more suspicious:" Yeah, it's looking for investment, a long time ago. What's wrong? Wait! Are you interested? "
On 13th, 1997, Pulitzer Prize winner Anne Prox ’s short story "Broken Mountain" first appeared in the "New Yorker" weekly, followed by the famous writer Larry Macwen Motley and Diana Ossana was adapted into a film script, and then almost always looking for investment to move to the screen, but in such a low-cost film, no one is willing to invest at all.
This is like a horse honeycomb, or a hot potato, investors are afraid of losing money. After all, the market for movies with xìng is very fatal. What's more fatal is that many theaters will not be released at all, and the audience will see it; I ’m afraid of public opinion, this is a good script, but the more successful "Broken Mountain" will cause a greater social response, and conservatives, religious teams and other people will also be noisy.
However, Flame Movies has never been afraid of these two things. Investing rationally and daringly, and digging upsets are all its investment ideas and actions to implement. That's why fm has repeatedly succeeded in independent films, making many film companies envious.
"Yes, I am interested." Wang Yang nodded with a smile. This movie is very suitable for Li Anlai. The gentle and delicate emotions can only be shot so bang, like a cup of warm boiling water. Now that "Broken Mountain" is still seeking investment, Wang Yang does not want to see any butterfly effect, which makes the director microphone of "Broken Mountain" give others, missed the classics, and also caused losses to the Chinese director group.
Unlike Nolan's "Mr. Hughes 2" is likely to explode, Ang is in a bad situation now, so he will be an investor in "Broken Mountain" to ensure that Ang takes the microphone. Thinking of these, Wang Yang said: "I am very interested, let James Shams contact me, I took over!" James Shams is now the producer of "Broken Mountain", working constantly and touching nails people.
"What? How can you be interested in a movie with a love theme?" Mark Srant suddenly looked curious and looked like he didn't understand. He spread his hands and smiled, "You are all married soon!" Wang Yang's mouth He shook his head seriously and said seriously: "I'm not, but I respect other people's xìng farewell. I feel that there is no difference in love, love with xìng. Love is indistinguishable. But seriously, I can't stand double love. , Too greedy. "He said with a smile.
Mark Srant realized that the words were wrong and shrugged: "I have a lot of friends with xìng. I mean you have to get married and honeymoon, and you have to shoot" Firefly ~ EbookFREE.me ~ Do you have time? " ? "
"I'm just investing, maybe hún producers are Dangdang?" Wang Yang raised his eyebrows with interest. In addition to appointing Li An to direct, he also hopes that the cast will be the original cast of the future, Heath Ledger, Jack Gyllenhaal, Anne Hathaway ... To participate in these jobs, it is the producer who has the right to invite auditions and words. He laughed: "I am going to invite Li An to direct this movie."
"Leon? Wow." Mark Srant was startled, more surprised than just hearing that he was going to take over Brokeback Mountain. After the fiasco of "Hulk Hulk", Lee is now the most annoying. Child, no one will give him candy.
Does not include the magical Yang who is also Chinese, and ... Mark thinks about it seriously, "The Hulk" only shows that Ang is not suitable for commercial blockbuster, "Pushing Hand", "Sentiment and Emotion", "Ice Storm" are all It proves that the Chinese director is clever, delicate and profound in dealing with themes such as emotions and conflicts of concept. Mark Sloan said, "Ok, I will tell James Shams."
