They have become goddess husbands, who needs a superstar system

Chapter 576 Truman can also be yourself (two in one)

The investment budget of 300 million yuan for Huang Feihong's three movies was eventually divided up by Yueshi Media, Desert Pictures, Moying Pictures, and the new partner Yincheng Organization. Originally, Yang Yi thought that if they were reluctant to part with it, With so much money, I had to make up for whatever was missing. In the end, the investment share left for Mumu Film and Television was less than 50 million!

It is worth mentioning that this new partner Yincheng Agency is from the background of Gangcheng Film and Television Company.

Its situation is quite special. In the last century, it was formed by the merger of many left-wing film production companies in Hong Kong. It has very frequent exchanges with the mainland. In the past, many co-productions that could be released simultaneously in the mainland and Hong Kong were From its hand.

Of course, companies with Hong Kong-funded background are not so popular nowadays, and settling in a corner is a dead end. Yincheng Agency, which has often cooperated with the mainland, is also actively exploring the mainland market. It frequently arranges for directors and artists from Hong Kong to go north to film movies. It also has very close cooperative relationships with many domestic film and television companies.

This time, Mr. Tan Shunfa, the general manager of Yincheng Organization, flew to the capital to meet with Yang Yi through Mr. Yuan Kui's relationship.

He originally wanted to participate in the investment of Yang Yi's film project, but when he heard that the Once Upon a Time series with a Cantonese background was about to be filmed, Tan Shun Huat immediately decided that he would participate no matter what.

Yang Yi and Le Zehan discussed and realized that they did need to use a lot of martial arts actors from Hong Kong City in these three movies, and they might go to Hong Kong City to shoot movies in the future and have good dealings with Yincheng organizations. A partner with a strong background is a good thing.

So, there is a situation where Yincheng Organization will also become the co-producer of the Once Upon a Time series of movies!
"Brother Yi, you also know that your "The Wandering Earth" has grossed 10 billion in global box office!" Le Zehan laughed loudly after hearing Yang Yi's complaints.

"Ninety-nine billion, not ten billion." Yang Yi corrected him.

"Aren't you making a horror movie?"

"And because of the investment in our "The Wandering Earth", the market value of Magic City Pictures almost reached 20 billion during the Chinese New Year. It has fallen back now, but there is still more than 100 billion!"

"In addition to making horror films, Cousin Martin suggested that we also make some films in Hollywood that could win Oscars or Golden Globes," Yang Yi said.

They are different. Now that the two companies are almost one company, Le Zehan hopes that Yang Yi will work harder and continue to expand overseas!
"The script hasn't been written yet, but now I have two ideas. One is about inspirational themes. A black man lives a hard life with his children. On the one hand, he has to desperately find a job and work hard to make money, and on the other hand, he can't even take care of himself. , he also had to take care of his children, and even spent the night in homeless shelters, parks, and restrooms. Later, with his hard work and his good quality performance, he was recognized by the interviewer and finally entered an investment company. "

Yes, Yang Yi is talking about "The Pursuit of Happiness" starring Will Smith.

Now Mumu Film and Television and Good Dream Entertainment have completed cross-shareholding, which means that if Yang Yi makes money from the movies he made in Good Dream Entertainment, they, the shareholders of Mu Mu Film and Television, will also receive dividends.

A random horror film can earn billions (converted into RMB), and it is only invested by Haomeng Entertainment alone. The net profit it makes does not need to be distributed to other investors. How could Le Zehan not want to participate in such a project?

"Okay, okay, 9.9 billion. What does 9.9 billion mean? Last year, the total market value of Magic City Pictures was less than 10 billion. It seems to be around 50 billion."

"Don't talk about this. I have been thinking about what movies to make for them in the United States next year." Yang Yi waved his hand and changed the topic with Le Zehan.

You know, although the dividend ratio is not too high, the movies Yang Yi makes in Hollywood are very profitable!

This made Le Zehan even more interested in Yang Yi going to Hollywood to make movies, and he even took the initiative to help Yang Yi make plans.

Although it is said that eating alone will not make you fat, and it is easy to attract people's jealousy, when Yang Yi is filming overseas, these domestic film companies can only look at him with admiration and be jealous.

Le Zehan talked nonstop.

However, Yang Yi was not talking about Xu Xiaoqiang, and Yang Yi was not setting up a black male protagonist as he thought he was going to win the Olympics. That was the case in the original film. Moreover, the original film is not as outdated as Le Zehan said.

"Is your movie a black version of Xu Xiaoqiang? And there is also a child version of Xu Xiaoqiang. It is indeed easier to win awards if you find a black person to film it, but I am a little worried that inspirational movies like You are a bit outdated. Don't Speaking of the United States, many people in China may not like to watch such chicken soup movies." Le Zehan misunderstood the source of inspiration for Yang Yi's idea.

"So, don't say they refuse to invest in your movie. Nowadays, if it's not shameful for the old domestic film companies, they all want to squeeze in. No matter if they invest one million or two million, as long as they can gain some popularity from you. Then the stock price can’t take off immediately?”

Yang Yi told this movie very roughly, and even temporarily tampered with some details in order to hide his familiarity with the script.

However, these contents sounded somewhat "familiar" to Le Zehan.

Yang Yi doesn't pay attention to the stock market. Now money is a bunch of meaningless numbers to him, because he has already made money and is numb. Why does he need to play these number games again?

"Movies that can compete for the Olympics can also be used! Cousin Martin has a good opinion. If you shoot it in Hollywood, the success rate of this movie will be higher than if you shoot it in China! Brother Yi, what kind of movie do you want to make? "Le Zehan became interested.

Xu Xiaoqiang did live in parks and toilets. This story has been widely circulated in Mumu Film and Television, and even among many audience groups who like Xu Xiaoqiang.

"The Pursuit of Happiness" was a movie released in 2006 on the original earth, and it still told a story that took place in the 2029s. But even in , when Yang Yi saw this movie, They all still find it touching and inspiring.

Of course, filming "The Pursuit of Happiness" in 2030 doesn't seem to be a particularly good choice. After all, the time gap is too far, and there is a high probability that many of the scenery with a sense of the times will not be found again, and it is easy to not shoot well. .

Moreover, Yang Yi has other choices.

"There is another idea about live broadcast. This film is about thirty years ago, a TV company adopted a baby, and then built a completely virtual town for him, hiring a large number of actors to play this The people around the child then broadcast his life live to the world through various cameras and cameras every day."

Yang Yi continued.

This time Yang Yi is talking about another high-scoring masterpiece "The Truman Show"!

"The Truman Show" was filmed earlier. In another dimension, it has a history of more than 30 years! But even if Yang Yi watches it now, he will not feel that this movie is outdated. Even in today's world where there are cameras everywhere and anchors holding up their mobile phones who may reveal your secrets, Yang Yi would feel that "The Truman Show" is very likely to happen now.

Who can tell clearly whether they are an audience of The Truman Show or Truman himself who was trapped in the live reality show?
It is indeed a movie that can make Yang Yi feel creepy just watching it. Before he finished his brief introduction, Le Zehan couldn't help but jump up excitedly, clapped his hands and shouted "This is the one"!
"Just this one?"

"Yes, Brother Yi, I admire your brain so much! How did you come up with such an awesome idea? Damn it, live broadcasting a person's life and controlling everything about him, I feel terrible just thinking about it , and I find it very exciting! If there is such a movie in the cinema now, I will definitely go see it!" Le Zehan said with emotion.

Just listening to Yang Yi's description, he felt that this movie had a deep appeal.

He wanted to see how the protagonist struggled under the control of the TV company, and also wanted to see how this dreamlike world was built, and how he could hide the truth and deceive the man for thirty years!

"Writing the script will probably be a big project if we are filming this." Yang Yi touched his chin.

"The Truman Show" must be revised. The plot can retain the original context, but the environment of Seaview Town and the historical background need to be drastically revised because he wants to move the story to 2030.

It just so happens that children born at the beginning of the century will be thirty years old in 2030!

Le Zehan didn't know what the big project Yang Yi was referring to, but he had mysterious confidence in Yang Yi. He waved his hand and said with a grin: "Brother Yi, writing a script is a big project for you? I've never seen any script that can't catch your eye!"

Indeed, Yang Yi could easily write an anti-corruption script like "In the Name of the People" that was completely outside of Yang Yi's familiar scenes. At the beginning of the year, I don't know how many leaders who had read the script wondered whether Yang Yi had been in the system before. Did it inside. Now a movie script that already has the most important creative ideas and main story, can it still be difficult to attract Yang Yi?

"It's hard to say. There are many details that need to be added and cannot be imagined out of thin air, so just checking the information is a big project." Yang Yi said with a smile.

"Brother Yi, I have a suggestion." Le Zehan raised his hand.

"You said."

"In this movie of yours, don't mess with the black actors or white actors. Play the adopted male lead yourself!" Le Zehan said solemnly.

Although Le Zehan studied at a university in the United States, he does not like the Hollywood system. Nowadays, all movies want to deal with skin color and gender themes. It seems that as long as the ZZ is correct, it will be favored by the judges and win awards. Same.

So what if a movie made like this wins an award? Le Zehan didn't want to watch any of them.

Therefore, when he heard Yang Yi talk about the movie with black actors, he felt a little conflicted at the first moment.

Why can’t we make movies about our own yellow race?
"Brother Yi, even if we go to the United States, we can't make movies just to win awards! In order to win awards, what's the point of making movies that cater to Western judges? It's better not to make them. The domestic market is enough for us. !" Le Zehan was worried that Yang Yi would forget his original intention, so he reminded him carefully.

"Chain Saw" is different. "Chain Saw" does not cater to anyone, and it also has a Chinese police detective in it.

Of course, Le Zehan also misunderstood Yang Yi.

Yang Yi didn't even think about catering to anyone when he made a movie. He wanted to make "The Pursuit of Happiness". It had nothing to do with the fact that the lead actor in it was black. He simply thought that the movie was good-looking and could touch people's hearts.

"Don't worry, I'm not pandering to the judges. I just feel that I have such ideas, and these ideas do have the potential to win the Olympics." Yang Yi smiled nonchalantly, "Do you think I can act in the live-streaming life-themed movie I just mentioned? "

He really never thought about starring in "The Pursuit of Happiness", but when Le Zehan said this, he was really moved.

It seems that there is such a possibility of adjusting the character settings?

"Of course you can act! Your English is better than mine, and you sound almost like an American. That's right, brother Yi, your language talent is incredible. As a Northeastern person, you can speak Mandarin without the Northeastern flavor. He speaks Cantonese like people from Hong Kong, and his English level has also improved from a poor level to that of Americans whose native English is the same!" Le Zehan said with envy.

He watched with his own eyes as Yang Yi improved his English from a level where he still needed his help in revising his Oscar acceptance speech, to a level where he could write English scripts and direct the entire crew to shoot "Saw"!

What does it mean to act in a Hollywood movie?
"Besides, Brother Yi, you are also a Berlin Best Actor after all. Even in Hollywood, who dares to say that you, a Berlin Best Actor, can't act in movies?" Le Zehan said with some pride.

"Then the workload of this script will be even greater. When I conceived it before, I never thought about acting it myself." Yang Yi touched his chin.

He was really moved. As an actor, he also liked top-notch scripts like "The Truman Show"!
My own company, my own crew, my own director and screenwriter, why would I be selfish for myself?
"It's true, Brother Yi. A Chinese child adopted by a white family has his life broadcast live in the United States for the whole world to see. This topic is very explosive! And you can also arrange for Sister Feifei to play the role that you will never forget. Dream lover, the director assigned you a white wife, you felt all kinds of discomfort, and finally chose to escape and pursue true love."

"Such a movie will not only be a sensation in the Western world in Hollywood, but it will also have a high box office when it is released in our country! I can guarantee that our Chinese audiences will also like to watch it! Although you and Sister Feifei will have to say English."

Le Zehan said a lot excitedly.

"I want to think about the arrangement of female roles again." Yang Yi nodded gently.

If he were to act, Yang Yida would have to ask his wife for her opinion on which role she wanted to play, and then decide how to change the plot.

Although girls like Bai Yueguang are very popular with the audience, from the perspective of a professional actor and professional director, Yang Yi actually knows that the more outstanding role is actually Truman's fake wife.

In "The Truman Show", this actress did a really good job, completely portraying the "actress" state.
