Chapter 1082: Serve the plot

"You look a lot darker."
In the reception room, Ronan looked at Li Anhuang's dark, slightly shining face, and said, "Li, I haven't seen you in a few months. You have changed a lot."
Ang Li smiled and said: "In order to experience some of the scenes depicted in the scene, I often go out to sea recently, which is exposed to the sun."
Ronan knew that Ang Lee was a practical director, and said, "The Fantasy Drifting of the Youth School, it seems you are ready."
"Yes." Li An nodded his head with a serious look: "I have personally prepared for a year."
This is not the preparation of the crew, but only the preparation of Ang Lee himself. If such a director does not move, he will mobilize every cell in his body.
Ronan said: "The more prepared you are, the fewer difficulties you may encounter in post-production preparation, shooting and production."
Ang Li opened the briefcase he carried with him, took out the script script which was obviously printed, and handed it to Ronan, saying: "I have completed the first draft of the script, and I have some preliminary plans for the adaptation of the film."
After taking over the script, Ronan slowly turned around and said, "Li, tell me about your plan."
Li Ang sorted out his thoughts a bit, and said first: "I am going to shoot and produce "The Fantasy Drifting of the Youth Pie" in 3D."
This did not surprise Ronan. He raised his head and glanced at Li An and asked, "Want to use 3D?"
"At the beginning of this year, I went to the Weta Studio in Wellington, New Zealand, and visited James Cameron and his "Avatar" crew." Lee Ang obviously had his own thinking: "I watched "Avatar" partially completed The effect is really amazing."
Ronan nodded slightly: "Avatar uses the world's best special effects and 3D technology."
Ang Lee continued: "I want to shoot this story in 3D. Use 3D technology to expand the pattern of this movie so that the audience can be immersed in the hard journey of Pie, and a heart is completely affected by the emotion of the story."
He thought for a while, and said: "I hope that when this film is finished, the experience it will bring to people will be as unique as Yang Martel's, so I have to create this film in another dimension. 3D is new. The language of the film, in the project "The Fantasy Drifting of the Boys' School," it not only enchants the audience in the vast scale and adventure, but also immerses the audience in the emotional world of the characters in the play."
After listening to Ang Lee’s words, Ronan combined with the script he saw in his hands, and years of experience gave him a preliminary judgment: "The production budget will not be less than 100 million US dollars."
Ang Lee instantly thought of the failure of the big investment project "The Hulk", and was unavoidable, but still bit his head and said, "Yes, according to my plan, it will cost at least 100 million US dollars."
He firmed up his determination and said: "This is a very private story of a teenager. He lost his family and had to face unimaginable challenges in the magnificent nature. To shoot this part and maintain the emotional core is Extremely complex, it must be done with technology, determination and creativity."
Ronan put down the script and said, "Li, I believe in you, and I believe you can bring a successful 3D movie."
Li An breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I will do my best."
Ronan returned the script to Ang Lee and said: "After you go back, immediately submit the relevant plan to Shahai Entertainment. I will let people promote this project as soon as possible."
"Okay." Li Ang said immediately: "I will do it right away, and then summon the staff to strive for the early establishment of the crew."
Ronan asked, "How long does it take to complete?"
"Before the Cannes Film Festival next year." Ang Lee replied: "I want to take this film to the Cannes or Venice Film Festival next year."
Ronan understood what he meant: "I will make Embassy Pictures ready for the award-winning "Fantasy Drifting of the Youth Pie."
For this type of film, if you want to maximize the benefits, like "Slumdog Millionaire", the Oscar aura is essential.
The two chatted for a while, especially about 3D technology.
Every film worker, especially the director, has a different view of 3D.
In Li Ang's eyes, 3D is just a film technique and cannot be superior to the movie. Specifically, in "Fantasy Drifting of the Junior School", 3D technology should serve the plot in a solid manner, not show off skills.
In the words of this Chinese-American director, technology should always play the role of auxiliary tools in movies. No matter how good this technology is, it can only be icing on the cake instead of giving away charcoal in the snow. The place that really touches people is always the heart of the person.
It is very difficult to make "The Fantastic Drifting of the Youth Pie", even for Relativity Entertainment. The biggest difficulty is to maintain the balance of film investment.
Like a project with a multi-million dollar production budget, Ronan can let Uvi Bauer shoot anything.
For movies costing less than US$50 million, Ang Lee can shoot and produce according to his ideas in the system of Relativity Entertainment, because they have the appeal to recover their investment in the global film market.
For any film, investing hundreds of millions of dollars is a matter of prudence. It is never easy to overcome the barriers of art and the market, especially a film that is more humanistic and artistic.
Fortunately, Ronan has some memories of "The Fantastic Drifting of the Youth Pie", and he has enough confidence in Ang Lee.
Frankly speaking, Ang Lee's movies are more down-to-earth, although the rhythm is slow, they have never been obscure.
In fact, Ang Lee has never made that kind of pretending movie that specifically can't live with the audience.
Although it has messed up the only commercial blockbuster directed in his life, "The Hulk", it is not difficult to find out that Lee Ang's filming list is basically easy to understand.
After Ang Li formally submitted the production plan to Shahai Entertainment, "The Fantasy Drifting of the Youth Pie" also determined the budget. The initial budget is 100 million US dollars.
Ang Lee convened the filming team as quickly as possible. He still needs to rush to India to personally select the right actor. He hopes to find a simple Indian teenager to play the leading actor.
Relativity Entertainment's Indian branch in Mumbai will fully assist Ang Lee.
In addition to "Fantasy Drifting of the Youth Pie", Relativity Entertainment has several projects officially approved this month. Matthew Vaughan, who has completed "King of the Sea", has officially transferred to the preparation and shooting of the new "Ace Agent" .
Shahai Entertainment Animation Studio’s pet movie was also officially established under Ronan's promotion, and the project was named "The Secret of Pets".
In terms of real-life fairy tale movies, "Cinderella" started script writing.
Unlike the dark wind fairy tale movies that are now evolving in Hollywood, this brand new "Cinderella" will follow fairy tales as much as possible.
Of course, it is not the earliest Cinderella story that is circulated, but the children’s version widely circulated around the world.
If you really want to shoot according to the earliest folk tales, this film will probably become the NC-17 classification.
Many fairy tales originally originated from the folks. Compared with the later versions, they were originally legends full of violence, blood and even acrimonious elements.
For example, things like Oval are nothing in those versions, and they are simply uncommon.
As for the plot where Cinderella ran out of the palace and stopped to throw shoes, it was impossible to appear in a live-action fairy tale film shot by Relativity Entertainment.
In addition, Shahai Entertainment is also making initial contact with Angelina Jolie, intending to invite her to play the role of a witch in another live-action fairy tale movie.
However, Angelina Jolie is full of misgivings about acting as a witch, because since she has been with Brad Pitt, although her commercial value has increased significantly, her image is worrying. From a long-term perspective, acting as a vicious witch is not an ideal choice. .
Shahai Entertainment is not in a hurry. After the script is completed, it plans to dispel Angelina Jolie's doubts with the plot and role of the script. After all, this witch is not vicious.
Just like the subversive prince and Snow Queen in "Frozen", the witch is not necessarily a bad person, and Sleeping Beauty does not need the prince to wake up.
In March, Relativity Entertainment still has films released. In this relatively cold schedule, there are no first-line commercial films.
In the first ten days, the "Reaper is Coming" series appeared in North American theaters for the fifth time. Reaper may be late, but he will never be absent.
This time, a group of Americans who escaped the collapse of the bridge will face the death journey directly, and it will be of no avail to escape to the ends of the world.
It is still a patterned routine, and cruel death, but compared to the previous works, this one still successfully created the thrilling atmosphere of the entire chronic death process, allowing the audience to once again experience the suffocation of sitting on needles and unable to breathe. Pleasure.
The invisible Grim Reaper is more terrifying than the visible killer. This has been a major selling point of the "Reaper Coming" series.
No matter how you escape, you will inevitably die.
The first four films have accumulated a large number of fans. "Reaper is Coming 5" does not lack an audience. The North American opening weekend earned $28.95 million in the box office.
Simultaneously released overseas, the response even surpassed North America ~ EbookFREE.me ~ nearly 35 million US dollars entered the box office account in the first weekend.
Embassy Pictures conservatively estimates that the global box office of "Death is Coming 5" is expected to reach 180 million US dollars.
Not to mention predictions, the results of the drawing can already allow the death torture game to continue.
After this film, Embassy Pictures launched another work "Lincoln vs. Zombies". Because the production cost was only US$150,000, the filming was quite rough, and there was no special hype. The film was directly introduced. The DVD market and Netflix streaming.
For such a B-level film, the problem of returning to the cost is not big, the only suspense is how long it will take.
With the help of Brother Bao's Netflix sharing account and the official website of "Vampire Hunter Lincoln", "Lincoln vs. Zombies" sold 50,000 DVDs a week after its launch, which not only achieved a return on cost, but also made hundreds of thousands of dollars in profit.
In late March, Embassy Pictures launched the real key project of this month-"Kung Fu Dream".
