Chapter 743 "The Ballad of Clouds and Water"
Li Bingbin lacks good movies to help her become queen in one fell swoop, while Menjie lacks good movies to open up the market for herself!
Movies with slightly lower quality will not be able to make breakthrough progress in Li Bingbin's career. Only top-notch movies with high enough quality can make Li Bingbin's career breakthrough, which is what she longs for!
For Menjie, although acquiring high-quality top movies can at best save him some points and save some resources of the King System, it is not bad.
It can be seen from this that although Men Jie and Li Bingbin have the same needs for high-quality top-notch works, Li Bingbin is extremely eager and looking for such an opportunity, and Men Jie...
At best, it is just to save some of your own resources. If you have it, it is indeed a good thing. If you don't have it, you won't use all your means to force it.
So what he said just now made not only Menjie, but also Li Bingbin want to ask at the beginning. Now that Menjie is the first to speak, Li Bingbin's eyes are naturally full of expectation and he looks towards
Wang Zhongjun on the side was looking forward to him taking out the script directly.
"Crack!"
After listening to Menjie's words, Wang Zhongjun couldn't help but pat his forehead, and said with a rather embarrassed smile, "Look, I forgot about this just now, please wait a moment!"
After saying that, Wang Zhongjun opened the drawer next to him again, quickly pulled out two thick scripts from the thick pile of documents, and handed them to Men Jie and Li Bingbin.
"Now that I have received the approval of Director Yin Li, if you two have no objections, the number one male lead and number one female lead in this movie belong to you two. Read all the scripts in advance.
There must be no problem, and you are all veteran actors with certain professional ethics, so I don’t need to worry too much, then go ahead, this is the complete script for the entire movie!”
While speaking, Wang Zhongjun handed the two thick stacks of scripts in his hands to Men Jie and Li Bingbin respectively.
Under normal circumstances, it is impossible for an actor to get all the scripts before he signs a contract with the crew and determines whether to star in a movie.
But now, Men Jie and Li Bingbin don't need to audition at all. They only need their nods to get these two roles. Moreover, they are star artists under Huayi Brothers. They have quite a wealth of experience.
Naturally, he would not do anything to harm the crew, such as leaking the script. Wang Zhongjun was not worried either.
Seeing that Wang Zhongjun directly gave them all the scripts, and Yin Li on the side didn't say anything, Men Jie and Li Bingbin naturally didn't talk too much nonsense. After taking over the scripts in their hands, they read it carefully.
Looked up.
Of course, it is impossible for the two of them to read such a thick stack of scripts in a short time. If they want to study it in detail, they have to wait until they go back and use their own private time to study it. The two of them now are just
Read the introduction to this script.
The difference is that Li Bingbin carefully watched the brief process of the entire script, while Menjie browsed it roughly, and after preparing to have a general understanding of it, he went to the Tianwang system and carefully
The information searched.
Huh? Not bad?!
After a while, Menjie read the synopsis of the script in his hand.
Originally, Menjie thought that the script arranged for him by the Huayi brothers was a love-themed movie, and it would not be too big in terms of production costs and scenes.
Under normal circumstances, the box office of such a movie should not be too high.
However, this idea changed slightly after Menjie briefly read the script.
Although this script is said to be a love-themed movie, the scenes are no less than those of some so-called domestic blockbusters!
Even according to what is said in the script, there are still many scenes that require computer stunts, such as scenes such as avalanches, which will cost countless funds.
Moreover, there are many shooting locations for the entire movie, spanning five provinces. It needs to be shot in various places. In addition, a lot of funds are needed to build various and slightly different scenes in the process.
The style and venue are more retro.
Overall, the cost is very huge. Although there is no exact figure yet, Menjie also knows that among love-themed movies, it is definitely a cross-era movie!
Moreover, the movie itself has many remarkable and unexpected good plots, which are all very good. At least in Menjie's opinion, many places are very cleverly designed.
The compact plot of the entire movie is definitely very good, and usually, if a movie can have a compact and well-paced story, the final result will not be too bad!
And in a story like this, if such good actors and directors join in, the final result will definitely be amazing!
And in Menjie's view, this script should be more literary and artistic, and its commercial value is not bad at all. It can be said that it is a movie that pays equal attention to business and literature, and has a stronger sense of literature and art.
As for the grade of the movie...
It may not be as good as the movie "The Banquet" that Menjie is currently filming, but it is still an excellent work between the best top movies and the top top movies!
"My judgment may not be accurate, so let's use the King System to investigate!"
With a thought in his mind, Men Jie made a decision. He glanced slightly at Li Bingbin beside him and found that she had only read less than a third of the script in her hand, even if it was a brief introduction. She was still reading it.
Watching it very carefully, Menjie felt relieved, entered the King system directly, and searched for the name of the movie.
Because Li Bingbin is still reading the script carefully, Men Jie believes that Wang Zhongjun and the Yinli around him will not disturb him before Li Bingbin finishes reading it, right?
"Tianwang system, search for information on the movie "Yun Shui Yao"!"
After issuing the order, the Tianwang System quickly completed the search at a speed that even the most modern computers in the world could not match, and submitted a very precise and detailed answer to Menjie.
This is all the information about the movie called "Yun Shui Yao" in Menjie's hands!
"Huh? There's quite a lot of information on this movie!"
Looking at the several pages of information in front of him, Menjie couldn't help but smile bitterly. It was really not possible to finish reading so much information in a short time.
But it doesn’t matter. Menjie only needs to pay attention to a few of the more important issues, and that’s it. There is no need to pay attention to too many things.
"Heavenly King System, help me list the original number one leading actor in the movie "Yun Shui Yao", the final box office of the movie, and the awards the movie won!"
Menjie’s idea is very simple!
By searching for the name of the male protagonist of the original movie called "The Ballad of Clouds and Waters", you can see whether the person you replaced is a less famous actor or an old-school actor who is more famous.
If he is a second-rate actor with little fame, then I am afraid that Wang Zhongjun is probably cheating himself by giving him a useless role. By the way, he also cheated Li Bingbin. If the original actor was a famous actor
If you are a very big actor, then obviously Menjie can also know that in your eyes, Wang Zhongjun, your level is probably at the same level as others!
This aspect is a measure of the film itself and the investors' expectations for it before its release.
The other two questions raised by Menjie both represent his own expectations for the performance of this film.
The performance of a movie depends on two aspects. One is, of course, the box office of the movie!
If the box office of the movie is low, the points earned by Menjie will become less, the number of Menjie's fans will increase less, and Menjie's future in commercial films will also be slightly bleak.
On the contrary, if the box office performance of this movie is great, then Menjie will earn more points, more fans, and will be more sought after by more directors in commercial movies.
This is of great benefit to Menjie’s development!
However, measuring the performance of a movie is not just about the box office performance of the movie. The number of awards and gold content of the movie itself are also crucial factors that determine the quality of the movie!
Movies are divided into commercial movies with a stronger commercial atmosphere and higher box office, and literary and artistic movies with more connotations and a greater possibility of winning awards.
If a movie's box office is not high, but it can win numerous, relatively important awards, then it is obviously a successful movie, even if the box office performance of the movie itself is not very good, Menjie
You might also choose to star in it!
after all……
The movies that Menjie has starred in have always been commercial-oriented movies, and their commercial value has been perfectly reflected. He has used commercial movies to earn countless points, wealth, fans, and reputation.
But while earning so much, Menjie's status in the Chinese film industry has not increased much!
If you want to improve your identity and status in the Chinese film industry, the easiest and most indispensable thing is to win awards!
If Menjie can win a very valuable award, it will definitely be of huge benefit to Menjie's future development!
The reason why Menjie is now able to play the leading role in a top movie is entirely due to various special reasons. For example, the movie "The Banquet" lacks a leading actor with a majestic temperament, and the company promised to compensate him with a leading actor in a top-notch film.
.
Without these special reasons, it would have been impossible for Menjie to become the number one leading actor in a top movie!
However, if Menjie can successfully win the title of Best Actor with a literary film, then in the future, I believe that many big directors will be shooting movies and will not need to be reminded at all when choosing male protagonists.
, will also involuntarily include himself among this candidate!
even……
In the past, even due to various special reasons, the most high-end movies that Menjie could star in were only top-notch movies.
However, if Menjie can reach the level of 'Actor' in terms of strength and status, maybe with the help of the King System, he will be able to get access to higher-level works that surpass top-level movies.
Woolen cloth!
This is a huge temptation for Menjie!
For today's Menjie, there is already a sharp contrast between choosing commercial films or slightly more artistic films.
The former can indeed allow Menjie to gain more in a short period of time, but in the long term, the possible benefits, identity, and status can only be maintained at this level and cannot grow.
However, the latter may lose the points, wealth, and popularity growth of a movie, but it can help Menjie and take Menjie's career to a higher level.
After that, Menjie's harvest will skyrocket to a level that is simply not comparable to what he once was!
Which one is more suitable is clear at a glance!
The former, continuing to choose commercial movies, is obviously a manifestation of only coveting immediate interests. If it was Menjie in the past, it would be okay to make such a choice, but now that Menjie has the strength to stabilize the actor, naturally
You can choose the latter, which is more biased toward future development!
So at this time, what Menjie wants to see is what kind of results this movie called "Yun Shui Yao" will have in the final box office and award-winning records.
This is very important!
Of course, in Menjie's mind, if this movie called "Yun Shui Yao" can win awards, win the title of emperor for himself and Li Bingbin at the same time, and be a box office hit at the same time, then it will obviously be the best.
That's great, but Menjie thinks that the chance of this is very, very small, right?
While Menjie was thinking, the Heavenly King System had already given the answers Menjie wanted, all of which appeared in front of Menjie.
Unlike the previous one, which had countless pages of information, the information this time is not much, or even very small. If it were written on an A4-sized white paper, it would probably not take half a page to finish.
These materials are neatly listed into three parts by the King System.
Part one, all the cast and crew of the original movie "The Ballad of Clouds and Waters".
The second part, the box office record of the movie "Yun Shui Yao".
Chapter completed!
