Of course, this is also different in national conditions. Every company in Hollywood has a review mechanism. Generally speaking, Hollywood, usually speaking, rarely use newcomer scripts.
For a project of theirs, if the other party is a gold medal producer, they may not even need to have a script. They only need to have an idea to make the film makers attach great importance to it, but if they are ordinary directors who want to do a project, it is Difficulties.
In fact, although there are some differences in China in this respect, there are also similarities.
For example, if it is Xu Cang himself, if he wants to make a TV series, he only needs to have an idea, and he can even start to invest, but if it is a movie, he must make a complete plan, including, Which actors to invite, where are the selling points, etc.
On Wang Yifan's side, it's different. Although he has not yet produced a script and only has one song, as long as the Times Guangying knows, he will immediately start to promote this project.
This is also because the initiator of the project is Wang Yifan and the director is Xu Cang.
Of course, if it is Wang Yifan’s own movie, then it doesn’t need to be so troublesome. Even as long as Wang Yifan speaks, it will basically invest within a certain amount. Even if there is friction between Time Light and Wang Yifan, it is definitely the first time. Come down.
Wang Yifan thought of the characteristics of Xu Cang in the project of "Bringing the Silk". In "The Legend of Sword and Fairy", you can say that the credit is the story of Wang Yifan's script. You can also say that the actor Li Junsheng and Chen Xuebing, Yan Lingxuan's appeal It is powerful, but it is undeniable that Xu Cang's control over the costume drama is indeed in place. It can be said that he is very light, otherwise he would not have finished filming such a drama in such a short time.
Of course, at present, it can be said that the actors are undecided and the script is not yet available, but no one will underestimate this project that still exists in the mind.
The script outline is actually nothing new, and the plot is very simple. To put it bluntly, you really can't make the plot of the movie this year too complicated, otherwise, the risk will be even greater.
"Liansi Opera" is a romance film in a magical cloak.
Either Wang Yifan or Xu Cang understands this truth. Of course, your movie’s selling point must not be the only selling point. You also need other selling points.
"Jiansi Opera", as the name suggests, tells the story of a puppet show, a puppet show.
Therefore, this aspect has naturally become a selling point.
Of course, the design of this puppet must not be regularized, and certain artistic processing must be required.
Because this is not a horror movie, but a romantic movie, whether it is poignant or sweet, the puppet must be beautiful.
Xu Cang's movements are very fast. Before the project was determined, he went to find some old craftsmen to learn about the situation of the puppet theater.
When Xu Cang came back, when he saw Wang Yifan again, he brought a lot of key props in the puppet show, the ‘string puppet’!
"These are the thread puppets I bought from the craftsmen of the puppet theater." Xu Cang said.
Wang Yifan also checked it carefully, but soon he shook his head and said, "Although the film is based on reality, it must be divorced from reality, especially for films like "Liansi Opera". Traditional marionettes are definitely not suitable."
Xu Cang nodded and said, "That's for sure. I have a little preliminary idea. The heroine of "Diansi Opera" must be a puppet, but this puppet must be enough to be a real puppet."
"This is a question you, a director, have to consider. I only have one requirement. That is, the puppets in the "Drag Silk Play" must be stunning enough, but not too divorced from reality. It can be lifelike, but it can't give people a kind of horror Feeling." Wang Yifan thought for a while and said.
In many cases, most of the puppets in movies appear in horror films, giving people a weird feeling, but "Liansi Opera" certainly can't be like this, otherwise, it is estimated that it will directly scare away a bunch of people.
The project of "Liansi Opera" is not in a hurry for the time being, and it will be Xu Cang's project, so Wang Yifan is more of a suggestion, and Xu Cang needs to do specific things himself.
His new film has been finalized.
Filming a costume drama is the story behind "Fireworks Easily Cold".
Different from "Jiansi Opera", this film will definitely not involve any supernatural things. There are no immortals and no demons. It is a traditional costume play.
Moreover, it also involves history, the Wei, Jin and Southern and Northern Dynasties. In this regard, Wang Yifan must find a professional to give guidance in this regard.
Of course, these are not problems for Wang Yifan now.
But in this film, the requirements for the male and female protagonists are relatively high.
The protagonist is not only handsome, but also tough, with a rough temperament. Moreover, the film will definitely involve a lot of action fighting and war scenes. Therefore, this actor is more difficult to choose.
Originally Wang Yifan liked Li Junsheng, but then he gave up.
Because Li Junsheng is handsome enough, but in terms of temperament, Wang Yifan has seen Li Junsheng's previous roles in TV series, and he rarely plays roles like generals.
Generally speaking, Li Junsheng's temperament is a bit softer, not the kind of "tough guy".
Among the candidates who have worked with Wang Yifan, Chen Bu is more suitable than Li Junsheng. Unfortunately, Chen Bu, to be honest, is not handsome enough.
"Chen Dahua?" Wang Yifan was startled when he heard Chen Hanming recommend Chen Dahua.
"But, will Chen Dahua be too old? After all, the actor of this film will start from a young guy, Chen Dahua..." Wang Yifan hesitated.
Chen Dahua has a wide range of acting. Although he is not an action star in the traditional sense, this aspect is really not a problem for Chen Dahua. He has played a role like a general and the acting skills of the actor are not casual.
And coffee is enough, but the problem is age.
"Chen Dahua is called the immortal king of Hong Kong Island. In fact, he looks young and looks good." Chen Hanming said with a smile.
"You can make an alternative first!" Wang Yifan thought for a while and said.
"Let's do an internal audition. Anyone who meets the requirements can be notified. Then, let's see the effect of the makeup audition." Wang Yifan thought for a while and wanted to add.
"Yes!" Chen Hanming nodded.
"Where is Times Light and Shadow?" Chen Hanming asked again.
Wang Yifan shook his head and said, "Don't worry about them, this is my movie!"
The reason why Chen Hanming asked this question was because before the era, Guangying had also recommended candidates for the male and female protagonists, but Wang Yifan gave him a pass immediately.
