Although there are many new directors, the quality is uneven, so in the end, more than a month of screening was only half done!
However, it is enough.
According to Wang Yifan's idea, for these projects, basically, the shooting cycle will not be longer than one month. It is that simple.
For example, "The Dark Side", the main scene of this movie is the two rooms, and even the location is too much needed, and the plot is basically driven by dialogue, and then roll the sheets.
Another example is "Buried Alive". This kind of project is simpler, even simpler than "The Dark Side", but it is definitely more difficult to shoot than "The Dark Side".
Another example is "127 Hours"...
These low-cost movies have a very interesting feature, that is, the scene is very single!
It may be difficult for this type of movie to get a high box office, but the market potential is definitely there.
And maybe it can be an unexpected surprise?
"Director Wang, what about you? Do you have any ideas for the next new film?" After finishing the signing of several projects, Lin Husheng looked at Wang Yifan.
"Me? Yes, the script has been written, this time I still want to try science fiction films." Wang Yifan thought for a while and said.
"Science fiction." Lin Husheng was disappointed.
why? Because science fiction films, it means that the production cycle will be relatively longer. After all, special effects are needed. But now Huaxin is in short supply of film sources. He naturally hopes that as Huaxin’s shareholder and one of the directors, Wang Yifan can shoot one as soon as possible. .
"Don't worry, the production time of this film will not be too long. In fact, I have already let the Aurora special effects work in the early stage. If it goes well, it will be done in three months, and it will be in time for the end of the year. There is no big problem in the theater." Wang Yifan said with a smile.
What Wang Yifan wants to make is a relatively alternative science fiction movie. Well, to sum it up, the plot is actually a single scene, and it is very nonsense.
"Three months? What about the preliminary preparations?" Lin Husheng was a little confused. Can science fiction films be done in three months?
He subconsciously felt that the preliminary preparations would be very troublesome, but in fact, this film is really not very troublesome.
Because there are not many actors needed, this is a one-man show for the male lead. Suitable actors, Wang Yifan has three candidates, Chen Dahua, Li Junsheng, and Chen Bu, all three of whom Wang Yifan has worked with. Therefore, basically, if there is no accident, the actor will be produced among these three.
"This is a one-man show. This movie does not have a heroine, so it is very simple. However, the main actors need to be trained in the early stage. It will take about two months. It will be no problem when it is released at the end of the year or the Spring Festival." Wang Yifan said with a smile.
Wang Yifan is going to shoot "The Martian", how do you say? This film is really simple. An astronaut encountered a storm on Mars and his teammates thought he was killed. As a result, he was left alone on Mars. Of course, this is actually a big bug. The density of the atmosphere is only 1% of that of the earth, and the atmospheric pressure is much lower than that of the earth, and it is impossible to produce the violent storms in the movie.
It is true that there are frequent sandstorms on Mars, but the wind is probably only equivalent to the breeze of the earth.
However, although art is willing to be realistic, most of the time, for the needs of the film, in order to throw the actor on Mars alone, it can only be "unrealistic" once.
Well, in fact, this is not the point. After all, the highlight itself is not this. After all, like many novels, with so many golden fingers, is it "real"?
"However, I need to ask the Aerospace Agency to help with the filming. In fact, I have already contacted the Aerospace Agency before. After all, the Aurora Special Effects side also needs to communicate with them about how to reproduce the real Martian appearance. They are also willing to provide a series of technologies for the film. Support, including weightless training of the main actors, body shape training, etc." Wang Yifan looked at Lin Husheng and said.
Lin Husheng was not too surprised by this. After all, this is Wang Yifan's movie, and to some extent, this kind of movie is also promoting the national aerospace industry.
So the NASA is willing to assist in the shooting, which is normal.
...
In fact, even low-cost movies can never be like those shoddy, low-cost horror movies.
Wang Yifan's several small-cost projects, costing millions of dollars, can actually invite good actors to perform.
Why do those horror movies basically know that they are bad movies by looking at the posters?
Sometimes celebrities may not be able to hold up the box office of a movie, but if a movie does not have a star, then unless the movie quality is really high, few people will pay attention.
Moreover, sometimes stars may not represent acting skills, but they represent popularity.
Basically, for a big production, it is impossible to really use amateurs. Even if you want to favor a newcomer, you must find other stars to match.
In fact, domestic actors' pay is really not high.
First-line stars, it certainly goes without saying, not only film selection, they are also qualified to choose their own films.
The second and third line stars, the pay is really not high.
Especially those small and famous actors, but the pay is not even as good as some small stars.
Therefore, millions of millions seem to be very small and the cost is very low, but in fact, most dramas, the cost is spent on the actors' salary.
The scripts provided by Wang Yifan are really cost-effective. They are basically single scenes. The actors don't need much, and there are no big scenes. But the story is very interesting.
For example, "127 Hours" and "Buried Alive", these two films can be said to be absolutely one-man shows, even more unique than "The Martian"!
But what is the cost of The Martian? Wang Yifan conservatively estimates that it is over 100 million.
After all, this requires a man who can resist the whole movie.
However, Chen Dahua was the first to be ruled out. There is no way, Chen Dahua is really busy!
Wang Yifan is late, and he has already taken other films. Chen Dahua is called the model worker among the actors. It is not casual to talk about it. At the most, he can make seven or eight films a year, and he is the main character.
Who can handle it?
The remaining Chen Bu was also PASS, because this guy, in order to play a role, gained 10 kilograms for himself. Although it does not seem to be that fat, but he is too strong, and the astronaut is physically fit. The requirements are very high, but they are of a relatively well-proportioned kind. Chen Bu's current figure is not to say that he cannot lose weight, but time is too late.
So, in the end, only Li Junsheng was left. Li Junsheng had no problems, but he was a little taller.
Li Junsheng has a height of 185, which is actually quite normal, but among the astronauts, it is a bit taller.
However, as I said before, there is no problem. Movies and reality are two different things. Moreover, in movies, he will not emphasize his height.
