Go abroad to become a director and overturn Hollywood at the box office

Chapter 106: The movie project is approved to create King Kong’s Skull Island!

Qin Feng turned on the computer.

Started writing the script for "King Kong".

The main plot draws on the 1933 and original 2005 versions.

Qin Feng added more monsters to increase the thrilling atmosphere of human adventures in the unknown world.

The story tells that in the United States in 1933, an adventurous filmmaker named Carl led a filming team to Skull Island to shoot a movie.

Including actress-Ann Darrow, and screenwriter-Jack, they encountered dinosaurs and local indigenous attacks, Ann's screams in exchange for King Kong's response.

This huge orangutan, even the ferocious Tyrannosaurus rex is somewhat afraid of it, but it falls in love with An, and this is the beginning of its tragic fate.
Qin Feng spent several hours writing the script.

Read it through again and the revision is completed.

Finally, the script was emailed to CEO Iger and producer Brooke Highmore.

the next morning.

General Manager's Office.

Egger and Bruckheimer discussing the script.

Egger's eyes were intense and he crossed his arms.

"I read Qin Feng's script last night. Of course, he made a lot of changes in this version, which is more suitable for modern people's tastes."

"In terms of character, the heroine is more gentle and kind, and in terms of plot, she is more thrilling and adventurous."

"The entire story style is written around an adventure action film, which can be said to be full of dangers."

Brookeheimer nodded, "The previous versions were shot using studio methods, and all the special effects were too old. Now that we use the latest technology, we will definitely be able to create the most realistic Skull Island and New York City in the 30s."

"In addition, not all audiences are like us and have watched a lot of old movies, especially audiences from other countries. They are still relatively unfamiliar with this IP."

"Hehe, since that's the case..."

Egger smiled and said: "Then what are you waiting for? Now that "Pirates of the Caribbean" is finished, let Qin Feng let him go! The production cost only needs not to exceed 7000 to [-] million."

"Okay general manager, I will distribute the script right now, and I will hold a project establishment meeting in the next two days."

……

after one day.

In the large meeting room.

The project establishment meeting for "King Kong".

Brooke Heimer sat in the middle and said to everyone with a smile: "Everyone, our "Pirates of the Caribbean" is currently in theaters and has achieved remarkable results. This is inseparable from everyone's efforts."

"But at the same time, the project has come to an end, and new projects need to be started."

"Everyone must have seen the new version of "King Kong" written by director Qin Feng. Our next movie is to start shooting it."

"In this version of "King Kong", if we want to create the most realistic Skull Island and the most realistic image of King Kong, I am afraid that the amount of special effects will be unprecedentedly huge, and there will be almost nothing that can be shot in real life. In this regard, everyone must do a better job adequate preparation."

As he spoke, he looked at Qin Feng beside him, "Qin Feng, let's talk next."

Qin Feng nodded, stood up, and gently pressed his hands on the table.

"Manager Brooke Heimer is right. Since the story takes place in New York in 1933, coupled with the weird and unpredictable Skull Island, there are very, very few scenes that can be shot in real life. We need a lot of sets and green screen performances." "In addition to Outside of the scenes, some of the strange creatures on Skull Island are unprecedented, and we need to make mechanical models and computer generation, with the emphasis being on computer generation.”

"This is the meaning of our remake. As everyone knows, those old films are all made-up movies with fake special effects. Our film will be a milestone for the entire IP and bring unprecedented shock to the audience."

The leaders present looked at each other, and everyone knew that a new challenge was about to begin.

Assistant director Stavin said: "As for Skull Island, should we ask the location selection department to search for it in the Pacific Ocean and try to use ready-made ones?"

Qin Feng said: "Yes, but the time is only given for one week. If we can't find it within one week, we have to manually search the scene."

"The main reason is that I have very high requirements for Skull Island. It must be rugged and primitive. As everyone knows, I have participated in the filming of Jurassic before. My requirements for the real scene this time are that the original style is higher than that of Jurassic." of."

"Yeah, I got it……"

Steven nodded and looked at Taylor, the location selection supervisor on the other side.

Taylor looked embarrassed, "Only one week? Okay, we'll try our best..."

Qin Feng: "Well, there's no need to put too much pressure on it. If it doesn't work, we'll just use the scenery to solve it. Leiteli, are you okay?"

Laytrey, the set supervisor, said carelessly: "No problem, in theory, we can arrange any scene and miniature model, as long as we give us time."

Qin Feng: "Okay, you must also be prepared. There are two major settings in the film, one is New York in the 30s and the other is Skull Island. The workload is very heavy."

"In addition, if we still go abroad to set up the scenery, we can reduce costs, use local studios, and recruit local workers."

Ritter: "Good director."

Qin Feng looked at the art director Brian again, "Bryan, the preliminary concept drawings need to be drawn first. The more comprehensive the better, the storyboards can be done later."

"OK." Brian gestured.

He looked at the visual effects director Noel again, "Noel, there are a lot of digital creatures this time. You need to communicate well with Industrial Light and Magic to conduct research and modeling in advance."

Noel: "Okay."

"In addition, when we were filming Jurassic before, we had already made a model of Tyrannosaurus rex, but it was not realistic enough. It is best to make a comprehensive upgrade this time."

"Well, I remember."

Qin Feng paused and said to Yali, the deputy actor director: "Yali, as for actors, I will contact three leading actors, including the heroine - Ann Darrow, the male protagonist - Jack, the film director - Carl, and the others. Actors, please contact us!”

Yali quickly wrote down in her notebook, "Good director."

At this time, Noel reminded: "Director Qin, the real protagonist in this movie is actually King Kong. This King Kong cannot rely on special effects alone. It needs professional actors to perform it. We can capture expressions and motions."

"Well, you're right..."

Qin Feng thought about it and found out that King Kong in the original world was played by Andy Serkis, an actor from Eagle Country.

He is a famous motion capture actor with vivid and lifelike expressions, but now, he is playing the role of Gollum in Jackson's "Lord of the Rings" in New Zealand, and he is simply unable to do all the work.

"It's not easy to find dynamic actors. Yali, you need to work harder and see if there are any in the guild. If that doesn't work, we'll just audition dynamic actors and pay more."

"OK." Yali replied.

"Okay everyone, this project requires a lot of work and will take a little longer to prepare than in the Caribbean."

"No matter what, today is the day to set up the project. Let's cheer up and work together to create a fantasy and inexplicable King Kong Skull Island where monsters are rampant!"
