The entertainment industry shouldn't be like this

Chapter 138 It's OK to fight zombies, but the pattern should be large
When Wang Wei saw the script code-named "Heroine", he was very surprised!
It's not surprising that this zombie movie script came from a female director.

The main reason is that this script is very similar to a movie called "Resident Evil" that he had seen in the original time and space.

Well, to be precise, it should be "Resident Evil 1".

That's a video game adaptation, though, and this is an original screenplay.

Zombie-themed Chinese movies are not new.

Although in this time and space, the core law of the zombie film is still established by the "Night of the Living Dead"-zombies move by instinct, the only goal is to eat fresh human flesh, the infection is rapid and only headshots can be eliminated.

But the difference is that zombie films do not completely belong to Western popular culture.

——In the cold war between East and West in this time and space, although there is no Cuban missile crisis, there is also a similar crisis of nuclear war that is about to explode.

Under the shadow of annihilation, unlike the traditional resentful corpse change, zombies born due to the backlash of modern technology, or the living dead, also entered the Asian cultural circle and became the object of fear projection.

Of course, among Chinese-language movies, there are only a handful of action movies with a leading heroine, and it is even more unprecedented for a leading heroine to play a zombie.

However, the memory of "Resident Evil" can drive the boom of zombie movies at the turn of the century, which is enough to prove that the market not only exists, but also is very large.

Therefore, the problem of audience acceptance that most people worry about is not a problem at all for Wang Wei——

"The commercial positioning of this film is still acceptable."

As soon as Wang Wei said this, Director He Wenying finally felt relieved.

She glanced at the calm Shen Zhenyi with admiration.

——The other party said that if it was someone else from Dunhuang, the probability of failing the review was high; but if it was Wang Wei, his eyes seemed to always see things that ordinary people couldn't see, and it turned out that he was right in the end.

—For example, the market value of an anti-traditional work.

And with Wang Wei's approval first, and with his vision as a guarantee, this film can be given the green light all the way in Dunhuang.

Well, it's quite a bit of a producer's strategizing style.

Yes, Shen Zhenyi is not interested in participating in this movie, but she is interested in serving as the second producer of this movie and doing the preparatory work together.

The first step, of course, is to get the business plan approved.

For a movie to be commercially successful, it must have a clear commercial positioning.

Both Shen Zhenyi and He Wenying understand that movies about fighting zombies, action scenes that stimulate violence, and visual spectacle that are highly entertaining and enjoyable are the essence.

These are reflected in the script, which proves that He Wenying is capable of directing such a zombie action movie.

This was also recognized by Wang Wei.

Even, he recognized it too much!
So much so that I am not satisfied with this idea only being made into a movie.

——Another time and space, a similar idea, but it was made into a series of movies!

Wang Wei pondered in his heart, raised his head and said: "This movie can be made, but it can completely generate a wonderful world view and make it into a series..."

In Wang Wei's view, the "Resident Evil" series of films in the original space-time had the opportunity to become a classic that developed in parallel with the game.

It’s okay for many protagonists of the game to play tricks in the movie, and it’s okay if the special effects don’t stand out, as long as the movie world settings don’t collapse——

In the game, the infection of biochemical viruses is basically limited to a local area.In the final analysis, the purpose of the villain boss has never been to destroy the world, but to obtain economic or political benefits through the bug-level weapon of biochemical viruses, and even to influence the structure of the world.

In contrast to the movies, the biochemical viruses in 1 and 2 are still confined to the military base and Raccoon City, and the motivation of the villain boss is also reasonable.

After the third part, the destruction of human civilization was announced as soon as it came up. The motives of the villains are no longer valid, and the plot is completely freed from the self-the subsequent series of movies can be regarded as magical movies, and the heroine is almost superhuman. up.

Wang Wei, who originally liked this series, saw the back of the series, and ten thousand grass and mud horses floated in his heart!
A good classic, turned into a low-budget B-level series where the director entertains himself with a fancy way of showing off his wife, the format is too small!
——I am afraid that no one is more qualified than the director of the original work to say that the Resident Evil series is really a successful work!
——In the movie, he found his wife, he found a job for her, he showed his wife on the screen again and again and happily counted the money, and finally he seemed to show his daughter in the movie...

Wang Wei crazily complained about the original work in his heart, while absorbing the lessons of the original work, "...as long as each book changes its place and revolves around a theme - biotechnology that should bring convenience to human beings has become a source of human greed." It’s a casualty of what’s going on — steady and slow, and it’s going to be a very lucrative franchise.”

After all, even if the original series has endless slots, it is still the most money-absorbing game game movie, which is enough to prove its unique charm.

Shen Zhenyi and He Wenying looked at each other and looked at each other.

There is nothing to play big!

They just want to make a vigorous movie about girls fighting zombies. Who will tell them why Wang Wei made a series of movies in a few words?

And Wang Wei's next words told them that this is not too big——

"By the way, have you heard of movie-game linkage? This movie theme is very suitable for making a game, so this time we can have a real movie-game linkage."

"In this way, one promotional cost can be used as two. Needless to say, some special effects scene designs used in the movie can also be shared in the game, perfect!"

Wang Wei speaks eloquently.

Neither Shen Zhenyi nor He Wenying had anything to say to Wang Wei's self-talk.

I don't ask where you got the confidence to think that it is suitable for adaptation into a game——

Just one thing, even if they don't understand game production, they still know that game production and movie shooting are not related at all, but the stories intertwined between the two are often tragedies.

This is destined to not be a project that a team can undertake.

And different teams in different industries, you don't understand me, I don't understand you, how to communicate?
Even the communication can't go on, what a ghost!
In this way, regardless of the success or failure of the project, when will the pioneering work of the new company come out?
He Wenying frowned, and Shen Zhenyi looked at Wang Wei helplessly.

This guy has a look of "I believe you can do it".

Well, he is confident, but he is not pretending.

Even before today, these were indeed not small problems.

But now, he really has a trick!

——Who would have imagined that Tongzi would have an unexpected reward after the movie he wrote had a box office of over one billion?
——And there is nothing more suitable for the whole film game linkage than a new plug-in.
