Huayu special effects started in 97

After Yang Mi finished speaking, she picked up the printed script on the table, sat on the sofa and began to read it carefully.

But on the cover of the script, there were four big characters printed: "Jingwei Filling the Sea".

This film is set against the backdrop of the battle between the Yan and Huang tribal alliances against Chiyou. It tells the story of Yan Emperor's daughter Jingwei, who fought bravely in the battle but unfortunately died in the East China Sea. However, her heroic spirit is immortal and she transformed into the divine bird Jingwei, turning the vast sea into mulberry fields and helping the Yanhuang tribes defeat Chiyou.

In terms of plot adaptation, it is indeed a bit too big considering the original traditional mythology, but there is nothing that can be done about it.

Who made him promise Yang Mi that he would make a special effects blockbuster with a female lead!

I don't want to brag too much, but when I started writing the script, I was dumbfounded because there are so few female mythological characters suitable for film and television adaptation.

For example, in traditional mythology, famous female figures include Nuwa, Queen Mother of the West, Chang'e, etc. Except for Chang'e and Houyi, the first two are neither easy to write stories about nor easy to pair up.

After all, for young audiences, the heroine and the love story are indispensable when watching movies and TV series.

This is also the reason why Jiang Heng did not choose themes from male-oriented online novels. This type of novel mostly focuses on fighting monsters and upgrading, and female characters are often missing or stereotyped.

Another problem is that it is not well-known enough, so there may not be a market for its adaptation.

In comparison, although "Fights Break Sphere" is just a simple and refreshing novel, it has created classic characters such as Xiao Xun'er, Nalan Yanran, and Medusa, which is one of the reasons why it has great value for film and television adaptation.

It's a pity that Wanda and Sony Media in the previous life actually used the model of martial arts films when shooting the film, and came up with the trick of "fighting spirit turning into horses", which is a bit laughable.

Yang Mi watched seriously, while Jiang Heng sat aside, drinking tea leisurely.

I thought Da Mimi couldn't finish watching the whole thing in a short time, so she went to play two games of "League of Legends" on the side.

"Ah, I've finished reading it. It's so well written!" Da Mimi suddenly spoke up when she saw Jiang Heng finished the game.

"finish watching?"

"Well, that's great. It really is a movie with a strong female lead. Jingwei has a lot of scenes!"

Jiang Heng said with a smile: "I promised you something, didn't I break my promise?"

"No, no, my husband is so nice!"

Da Mimi spoke in her unique tone, which made Jiang Heng distracted and he couldn't help but grab her hand.

"Do you know how many brain cells I lost while writing this script?"

"Are you older now? I'm not going anywhere these days. I'm just staying with you and making you some delicious food to replenish your body!"

"No, I'm afraid I'll lose more if you keep on!"

"Hateful!" Yang Mi said coquettishly, but she felt warm in her heart.

Then I asked Jiang Heng how he came up with the idea of ​​filming the role of Jingwei, because when they met a while ago, Jiang Heng was also planning to film the role of "Mouse Spirit".

"We've seen too many movies about Monkey King and Tang Monk falling in love, and there's nothing new about them. If we shoot one, it'll just be better special effects and cooler fighting scenes, but it's not that interesting!"

"A little bit, indeed, but I didn't dare say it at the time!" Da Mimi said with a laugh.

Jiang Heng said: "Later, I was out of ideas for a while and thought about casting a heroine. So I decided to film Dayu controlling the flood and let you play Tu Shanjiao in the film. But the audience knows that during Dayu's flood control period, he passed by his home three times without entering. This Tu Shanjiao is just a pure vase role, so confusing!"

Hearing this, Da Mi Mi looked very angry and said, "Luckily you didn't choose this, otherwise I would bite you to death, ah!"

Jiang Heng laughed, "Are you scaring me?"

"you guess?"

Jiang Heng just rubbed Yang Mi's head and messed up her hair. "But then I thought, how can I do that? It would be a shame to your expectations. I have to be the heroine and have more roles!"

When Yang Mi heard this, her eyes were full of stars. She hugged Jiang Heng's arm and said, "Honey, I'm so happy. I never thought you would prepare a script like this for me!" It should be noted that in the film and television circles, there are countless overt and covert struggles among actors in order to "steal the show". As a result, people with bigger "status" or stronger connections add all kinds of scenes and destroy the original script structure.

The plot of the movie was so bad that the audience called the screenwriter an idiot.

The problem is, no matter how good those people are at "stealing the show", how much can they steal?

Who can compare to herself? It's tailor-made for her, with huge investment, cool special effects, and an all-star cast. She only needs to give her best acting skills and wait for the word-of-mouth and box office results after the film is released.

Da Mimi was so excited that she couldn't sleep for half the night, so Jiang Heng stayed with her the whole time. They went to bed at dawn and woke up at noon.

When he opened his phone, there were naturally various calls and WeChat messages. Jiang Heng picked out a few important ones and replied.

He immediately went to the kitchen and saw Da Mimi wearing his shirt and busy cooking.

Jiang Heng walked over and hugged him from behind, "Why don't you get some sleep? Just ask the hotel to send some food over!"

"I just want to make something for you myself. Don't mind if my cooking skills are just average!"

Jiang Heng thought to himself: "That's why I asked you to order takeout!"

Of course, this cannot be said.

I sat on the sofa and waited for a while, and about twenty minutes later I went to the dining table to eat.

Yang Mi is often away filming, so her cooking skills are quite average. Although she only cooked two dishes, she managed to make the kitchen look like a "chaotic mess", with pots and pans placed all over the place for a long time.

When Jiang Heng went to serve the rice, he couldn't help but sigh: "Looking at this posture, if you don't know, you would think you are going to prepare a full banquet!"

"Ah, that's disgusting. Don't say that!" Yang Mi said angrily.

Jiang Heng laughed and handed over the small half bowl of rice.

He was just bored and wanted to be funny, not that he was disgusted.

Besides, even with Yang Mi's current wealth, it would be no problem for her to hire someone to cook for her throughout her life.

After sitting down, the two ate and chatted, talking about the preparations for the film.

In terms of investment, Jiang Heng's initial estimate was 2 million US dollars, which made Yang Mi very happy.

2 million US dollars, converted into RMB, is 14 billion!

More importantly, the pay of mainland actors is still cheaper than that of Hollywood, which means that more funds can be used in special effects production, and the film effect will definitely not be bad.

With Jiang Heng playing the male lead, she could already imagine the huge sensation the film would cause after its release.

By then, the box office in mainland China will at least be more than 4 billion, which will definitely be more impressive than Zhang Ruolan.

Adding the box office of "The Great Wall", these two films alone can total more than 8 billion.

If there is another comedy movie produced by "Happy Twist", it will crush that one in all aspects.

Thinking of this, Yang Mi suddenly said, "Oh, by the way, is Happy Twist going to shoot a new movie soon?"

Jiang Heng was stunned when he heard it, but he immediately understood what was going on!
"Why, you want to participate?"

“I just think that they do a pretty good job with comedy!”

"You, don't be too greedy, the important thing is to make this movie well!"

"Oh, I see!" Da Mi Mi said aggrievedly. (End of this chapter)
