Let you be an idol, why don't you look for a partner here?

Chapter 201 "Mythology" hot search, Gao Wen visits the class!

More than a month later, "Mythology" officially launched.

According to the usual practice, a start-up ceremony was held.

Although it seems a bit feudal and superstitious, the process that should be followed still needs to be followed.

What's more, these days, the richer people are, the more active they are in burning incense and worshiping gods than the poor.

With the exposure of the boot stills, the lineup of the movie was made public.

The entertainment industry was shocked, and countless netizens went crazy.

Because, the movie "Mythology" officially announced that Ye Ranqiu will be the heroine!

Originally, everyone thought that Ye Ranqiu's appearance in the opening photo was just a special performance like the last time "You Are My Glory", and there would not be too many scenes.

As a result, this time was different.

Ye Ranqiu is the heroine!
This is really surprising.

Because, Ye Ranqiu has already rejected invitations from many great directors, including top domestic directors like Zhang Kai'an.

"Heroine Ye Tianhou? Must support!"

"Jiang Che is so awesome, he actually invited Ye Ranqiu to play the heroine."

"I'm sorry, is Ye Ranqiu and Jiang Che on such a good relationship? I have repeatedly made exceptions for Jiang Che!"

"6666, how did Jiang Che do it?"

"Did Jiang Che offer a price that Ye Tianhou couldn't refuse?"

"Looking forward to the performance of Tianhou!"

"Ah, ah, I'm so happy, hurry up!"

The cost of the movie "Myth" was about 500 million US dollars when Jackie Chan was shooting it in the original world.

This number, even if it is pushed back more than ten years, is not a low cost.

And at the beginning of the new century, let alone a proper big production.

If you convert it with inflation, it is almost the same as those blockbuster movies in later generations that cost hundreds of millions of investment.

At the beginning, the box office of this movie in the Mainland seemed to be 1.6 million.

If you only look at the box office in the Mainland, it will definitely be a blood loss.

Fortunately, Jackie Chan still has an overseas market, which is not a small ticket warehouse. Coupled with the distribution and copyright of follow-up CDs, it is still no problem for the film to make money.

Now it's Jiang Che's turn to shoot the film himself, and he estimates the cost to start at [-] million.

This is also because he has a complete set of shooting plan guidance from the system, and he does not need to take many detours, which can save a lot of unnecessary waste.

There is a lot of money involved here.

Otherwise, the cost will be much higher.

However, Jiang Che can't determine the exact amount needed, it depends on what happens during the filming.

Add more if necessary.

The movie "Myth" has always held a relatively high status in Jiang Che's heart.

After Jackie Chan got older, he didn't make a few good movies, but "Mythology" is really good.

In Jiang Che's opinion, this is definitely a good movie.

However, at that time, being hacked was too much.

Mainly because of this theme, in the eyes of many people at the time, it was very different from Jackie Chan's previous film style.

A god of war in the furniture market, suddenly stopped making jokes and comedic actions, and actually made a soulful historical costume romance movie, which is quite different from pure action movies.

Completely lost Jackie Chan's personal characteristics!

Without the golden signboard of the past, the audience who entered the theater didn't see what they wanted to watch, so they naturally sprayed the movie.

At the beginning, on Douban, a well-known film and television scoring website, the score was not even 6, which means it failed, and it was only a little bit of five.

This score is simply an evaluation of a bad movie.

It wasn't until many years later, with the passage of time, that the movie got a relatively fair evaluation.

The ratings on the website have been slowly rising to 6.9 points.

But Jiang Che felt that this movie was worth more than 7 points.

This inevitably reminded him that in the early years, Zhou Xingchi's movies did not score high.

Let's just say that the film "Kung Fu" can basically be said to be the pinnacle of Master Xing's work that everyone recognizes.

But when it was first released, it was also hacked.

The score on the website is only about seven points, and many people complained that it was different from Zhou Xingchi's crazy and nonsensical jokes before.

As a result, it was not until later that everyone discovered that the artistic content of this movie was really as high as three or four floors.

From the beginning to the end, the sentences are classics, and many famous stalks have been born.

Many people even know how to recite their lines. Just say a word on the forum, and there will be a bunch of people below to follow up.

In this way, the score of "Kung Fu" rose to 8.8, becoming a masterpiece in many people's hearts.

Therefore, sometimes temporary belittling does not mean anything.

Some things take time to test.

Huang Jiaju's Beyond was beaten by grasshoppers back then!

But decades later?

Everyone has their own conclusions.

A good work can stand the scouring and baptism of time.

However, this is also related to earlier times when people in China tended to kneel and lick, and blindly boasted about European, American, Japanese and Korean movies and TV shows.

I always feel that everything from foreigners is good.

When you see foreign works, it is easy to score high.

On the other hand, the domestically produced ones, with all kinds of prejudice and contempt, deliberately scored low scores and made all kinds of criticisms.

Therefore, many people say that one point is automatically added for foreign films, and one point is automatically deducted for domestic films.

This situation has been going on for many years, and it was not until the awakening and rise of national consciousness that it was gradually reversed.

Therefore, until many years later, when everyone mentioned Jackie Chan's movie, they said that the movie "Myth" was shot early and luck was not very good.

If it was released after the mainland film market exploded, it might be an exaggeration to say 30 billion, but there should be nothing wrong with 20 billion.

Because, Jackie Chan later made a "Kung Fu Yoga", which is really a bad movie.

But relying on the name of the sequel to "Mythology", coupled with the high traffic during holidays, it cut off a box office of 17 billion!

Therefore, Jiang Che believed that he would definitely make money filming "Mythology", even though the investment was not low.

Of course, the original version of "Mythology" still has great flaws, and he needs to make further corrections and improvements.

For example, the proportion of stories in the two parts of modern and ancient times is not very good, and the switching of rhythm is a bit problematic.

The core theme of the movie is love and love across time and space, but the male and female protagonists actually show a little bit about this part.

Of course, these are easy to change.

Also, the ancient war scenes were shot too rubbish, and they didn't show the majesty of the Great Qin Empire at all.

This part of ancient times is a bit weak in shooting.

Therefore, Jiang Che intends to increase investment in this aspect.

The magnificence of ancient scenes must be photographed.

Another issue is the actor. Originally, Tang Jili wanted to find Takeshi Kaneshiro to act in this film.As a result, Jackie Chan saw the script, and he liked it very much, and then he cut it off directly.

With the relationship between Tang Jili and Jackie Chan, coupled with Jackie Chan's status, Tang Jili naturally had no way to refuse.

However, Jackie Chan's performance in this role has also been criticized by many people.

Because, he is old, and when he is with Kim Hee Sun, he doesn't feel CP at all!
At that time, everyone thought that Kim Hee-sun was so beautiful, with 360-degree omnidirectional and no dead ends.

But Jackie Chan is old and ugly, and the two of them don't match at all on the screen, and they don't feel like a couple, let alone acting this kind of great love that has spanned thousands of years.

Regarding this point, Jiang Che was not worried.

Because, this time, he played the role of Meng Yi himself.

With his appearance, he is still worthy of Princess Yushu played by Ye Ranqiu.

The two should have a sense of CP on the screen.

The only problem is that in the eyes of the outside world, he and Gao Wen are lovers. I don't know if this will affect everyone's perception of him and Ye Ranqiu.

But he personally guessed, probably not.

As long as the shooting is good enough, these off-site factors generally have no effect.

Even, maybe there will be another group of people who smack him and Ye Ranqiu's CP, and then quarrel with the group of people who smacked him and Gao Wen.

In this way, it will boost the popularity of the movie, and it will be a good publicity, which will also help the movie box office!

In addition to the above, the most important thing is the Tiangong special effect at the end of the film.

In the era of Jackie Chan, the special effects of the Tiangong floating in the Mausoleum of the First Emperor were actually quite technically produced.

But, nowadays, computer special effects technology has developed quite well.

Therefore, in this paragraph, Jiang Che's requirements are very high.

It is necessary to produce top-level visual effects. Only in this way can the audience be shocked, so that people can brag about it to the outside world!

Special effects are very expensive, and it should even be described as burning, which is more expensive.

If you want to shoot the ending section well, you will definitely spend a lot of money.

Therefore, Jiang Che estimated that the starting point was [-] million.

In the future, if you continue to shoot and find that there is a need, it is very possible to increase it to [-] million.

Therefore, the return line of the box office must be at least one billion or more.

In this regard, he is very confident.

Some other joint production and investment companies generally have more trust than worry.

After all, Jiang Che has repeatedly proved his ability.

It's just that the investment in this film is a bit large, so it can be regarded as a real blockbuster.

Compared with such a large investment, compared with low-cost film and television, the difference is still quite large.

Some people can make small-budget movies well, but they can't handle high-budget blockbusters.

There are also examples of this in the film and television industry.

Other capital, the only worry, is this.

However, Jiang Che is a super genius after all.

So, although there were concerns, no one from any company came out to say anything.

Taking a step back, even if the movie really didn't go well and lost money, that would be Jiang Che's worst loss.

Because he himself is the biggest investor!
…………

The filming locations of "Mythology" include the Museum of Terracotta Warriors, Jiuxiang Lava Cave, Lishan Cliff Waterfall, the Disha Holy Mountain, Disha Temple and the Holy Tomb of Emperor Shadi on the other side of Asan.

Jiang Che took the crew and flew to Ah Sanguo to finish filming all the scenes there, and then returned to China to film.

Because, the filming location over there is more troublesome to coordinate.

It’s hard to communicate well, so we have to finish the filming as soon as possible. It’s not just open where you just say you want to make a movie.

Compared with domestic, this kind of cross-border coordination is much more troublesome.

After staying at Ah San's side for about a week, the filming of all relevant scenes was successfully completed, and Jiang Che flew back to China with a group of people to continue filming.

The whole progress is relatively smooth.

Compared with Jackie Chan's speed of completing the filming in only half a month, Jiang Che was not so fast.

Because, he is more refined.

Especially the various scenes in this part of ancient times are even more grand.

Scheduling is also more troublesome.

Correspondingly, shooting efficiency will naturally slow down.

He himself estimated that it would take about one and a half months to complete the project.

This efficiency is already much higher than that of many current crews.

You know, this is a blockbuster movie with an investment of hundreds of millions!

With this amount of investment, it takes at least half a year to shoot for others, such as some big directors.

Domestic drama also involves two parts, ancient and modern.

Jiang Che took people to shoot modern scenes first, except for the part where he enters the Mausoleum of the First Emperor at the end.

In this way, it is easier to schedule and not too messy if it is done separately.

Moreover, there are too many things to prepare for ancient dramas.

For example, clothing, armor, weapons, horses, etc.

He has high requirements for the texture of ancient scenes, so these aspects require several assistant directors to coordinate and improve, and strive to be the best.

In addition, the actors also need a large number of actors who can shoot action scenes, know how to ride horses, and preferably some martial arts.

Now a lot of people are shooting circuses and riding fake horses.

This point, Jiang Che absolutely cannot accept.

For live shooting, you have to shoot magnificent scenes, how can you fake it?

Once it's fake, it won't have that taste.

"Director Jiang, your girlfriend is here!"

On the first day Jiang Che took people back to China to prepare for filming a modern movie, he got some bad news.

Gao Wen came to visit the class!

He didn't want Gao Wen to come because he was worried that something might go wrong.

"How did you come?"

As a marketing couple, Jiang Che still had to pretend in front of others, so he went to greet Gao Wen warmly in person.

Now that you have installed it, you must continue to install it.

Good people do it to the end.

Gao Wen said with a smile: "Come and see you, I will supervise you and see if there is any intimate scene!"

She heard that Jiang Che had taken someone abroad, so she didn't chase after him.

As soon as she heard that Jiang Che had returned, she rushed over immediately.

She thought that the breakthrough in her relationship with Jiang Che was when she was filming "You Are My Glory".

A place like the crew is the easiest way for both men and women to make progress in their relationship.

So, she decided to come over and take a good look!

Ye Ranqiu's threat is still too great to be taken lightly.

"Gao Wen, don't worry, there is no intimate scene between me and Jiang Che."

After hearing this, Ye Ranqiu smiled and said to Gao Wen.

She didn't mind Gao Wen's act of swearing sovereignty.

Of course she knew that the relationship between Jiang Che and Gao Wen was fake, Jiang Che had told her about it back then.

But now, in front of so many people, she naturally has to cooperate with acting.

As a human being, you have to be on the right path, and you can't tear down people's platforms casually.

Jiang Che's head got dizzy when he heard it, and he always felt that something was wrong.

He asked Gao Wen with a wry smile: "It's true, how long do you plan to come and stay here?"
