Chapter 315: The Most Expensive and High-profile TV Series in History (Part 2) An investment of 30 million US dollars may be regarded as an incredible big production in China. But in Hollywood, it might not even be considered a mid-level production. Of course, something shot in China with US$30 million is naturally different from something shot in Hollywood. After all, the prices in the two places are different. Maybe, if the investment of 30 million U.S. dollars in China is changed to Hollywood, it may be 50 million U.S. dollars. Although Jiayi Company was founded by Wen Yi, even when it started, it was just a record company. But now, with the growth of Wenyi, it has become one of the largest film companies in China. Moreover, Jiayi Company's investment courage is indeed much greater than that of other film companies. Of course, this has a lot to do with Wen Yi. "However, Jiayi Company has the courage, but it is not a fool. It is still very strict in the market. Of course, except for Wen Yi's movies. This is not just because of the boss of his film company, but because the entire company has almost reached a blind trust in his movies. ¡°If it is said that Wen Yi¡¯s movies will lose money, it is estimated that people from other film companies, let alone Jia Yi Company, will not believe it. Xu Ke is very famous, but his movies rarely bring in money. But once you lose money, it becomes a bit fierce. Thirty million US dollars is really nothing to Wen Yi now. But money doesn't just fall from the sky. Naturally, he would not invest blindly. And Xu Ke naturally knows that 30 million U.S. dollars and more than 200 million Chinese coins. This is not a small amount. No matter how good the relationship between the two is, they still have to discuss it. What's more. Xu Ke has great confidence in Wen Yi's grasp of the film market. otherwise. Wen Yi has shot so many movies. How is it possible that no matter how big or small the investment is, you have never lost money? Today in the film industry, Wen Yi is definitely one of the most market-savvy filmmakers. Not even one. So far, no matter whether it is his own movies or the movies he invested in, he has not lost money, and most of them have even made big profits. Wen Yi took Xu Ke¡¯s script and was actually a little uneasy. I'm afraid this guy might get noticed in Xianxia movies on a whim. Xu Ke in this world is just like Director Xu in his previous life, he filmed "Swordsman of Shushan" twice, and both times he accompanied the investors to everything. ""Dragon Inn"!" Wen Yi was a little surprised when he saw the title, and several movies with the same name came to mind. Xu Keke was a little surprised and confused by Wen Yi, but seeing Wen Yi flipping through the script again, he didn¡¯t ask any more questions. It is somewhat similar to the classic martial arts movie from the previous life. Both the story and the style. Perhaps the biggest difference is that there have been several movies from previous lives to this year. But the world is not there yet. The stories are somewhat similar, but also somewhat different. Compare the two phases. Which one is better or worse, Wen Yi can't tell. "In this film, do you want Li Long to take the leading role?" Wen Yi put down the script and said with a smile. "How do you know?" Xu Ke was stunned for a moment, then thought of something, smiled again, and said, "You must have seen it from the budget!" "I also think Li Long is very suitable. What's more, if Without him starring, the budget of this film would never have been US$30 million." Wen Yi smiled and nodded. Thirty million US dollars, one-third of which was paid for Lee Long's salary. Moreover, the other party also wants to give a friendly price. "Nowadays, Lee Long's salary has already exceeded 10 million US dollars because of his previous "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" which is getting better and better in Hollywood. Xu Ke and Li Long have a very good relationship. It can even be said that Xu Ke has contributed a lot to Li Long's current achievements. Moreover, this film was invested by Wenyi and Jiayi Company, so if they gave it a friendly price, there would be no problem. "How is it?" Xu Ke asked. "Haha! Of course it's no problem. I will say hello to Sun Zheng." Wen Yi smiled and said. "Thank you, then." Xu Ke smiled, obviously feeling much more relaxed after hearing Wen Yi's promise, and then asked, "When will your TV series start filming?" "It will probably take some time. The script hasn't been written yet. The actors have not been selected well. It involves a lot of Chinese martial arts, and some of the main actors have to go through a period of training. Moreover, I am not proficient in all Chinese martial arts, and I have to visit some friends in the martial arts world. This TV series Wen Yi is adapted from an online novel about Chinese martial arts that I read in my previous life, "The Romance of Dragon and Snake". Wen Yi has read this novel several times, but it is impossible to remember it completely. Not to mention the dialogue, some of the storylines have been forgotten. However, the general direction of the story is still clear. What's more, many of the plots in it are no longer appropriate today. Much needs to change. In the novel, the Shaolin Temple has a rather sad situation inside.?. If he were to film like this in his own TV series, he would probably offend the Shaolin Temple. This is obviously not necessary. ¡° Moreover, some of the forces in the martial arts world there are somewhat different from today¡¯s, so naturally they need to be changed. However, in the novel, some characters leave too deep an impression on people, and Wen Yi will naturally not be reduced. Even some of the main roles, he has already thought about who will play them. The protagonist Wang Chao is played by Wen Yi himself. This is the result of Wen Yi's long and careful consideration. If he plays the role, the influence of this TV series will definitely skyrocket. If he doesn't star in the movie, and it becomes popular in China with his own directing, that's naturally not a problem. But if it wants to be popular all over the world, it lacks a little enthusiasm. As for Wang Chao¡¯s master, the heroine Tang Zichen, Wenyi didn¡¯t know why but she thought of Lin Yuyan. No matter what, it is not inappropriate for Lin Yuyan to play Tang Zichen. The only thing required is a period of training in the martial arts. Although she has played in many action movies. But in terms of Chinese martial arts, he is obviously still a little behind. Some things can't be acted out. It's barely performed, and ordinary people may not be able to see it. But an expert will know it once he sees it. This is obviously not what Wen Yi wants. Because if he wants to shoot, he has to make it realistic. In "The Romance of Dragon and Snake", there is a great respect for a boxer, which is undoubtedly Cheng Tinghua, the successor of Bagua Zhang, and Cheng Mingshan, the descendant of Bagua Cheng, naturally left a deep impression on people. As for this role, Wen Yi plans to let Wang Li play it. Wang Li is developing better and better now. But he would not refuse Wen Yi's play. What's more, Cheng Mingshan doesn't have many scenes. ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????: This domineering character, although he appears later, is full of limelight. For this role, Wen Yi thought of Hong Bao, the action director of Xiangjiang, who reminded Wen Yi of Xiangjiang in his previous life. Whether it's appearance or anything else, it's definitely the best choice. As for the big villain "God", Wen Yi has no candidate for the time being, but he intends to find a mixed-race person to play the role, so that people can't tell whether he is an Oriental or a Westerner. There are quite a few male actors, and we need to think about this slowly after the script is released. However, for some roles with a lot of action and little drama, Wen Yi actually wanted to have people who knew real kung fu to play them. Among the female characters, Tang Zichen undoubtedly left the deepest impression. In addition to the fact that he is the heroine, it is probably inseparable from his telepathy and his identity as Master Wang Chao. However, there are still many female characters that left a deep impression on people. Such as Yan Yuanyi, and style. Of course, Wen Yi was deeply impressed by these two people, perhaps because of their high kung fu. Like other female characters, especially Wang Chao¡¯s female classmate named Cao, Wen Yi can¡¯t even remember her name now. Wen Yi planned to let Yuan Fang play the role of Yan Yuanyi. As for Fengcai, a master hidden among the rich, Wen Yi suddenly thought of Sun Qian, the daughter of Sun Jiantian, the head of the Sun family. There is probably no one more suitable in appearance and temperament than him. The only thing that made Wen Yi hesitate was that Sun Qian was a descendant of the Sun Sect, but her demeanor was that of a master of the Three Emperors Cannon Hammer. Wen Yi knew that Sun Qian didn't know how to use the Three Emperors Cannon Hammer at all. However, Wen Yi is not in a hurry about the actor. After the script of this TV series is written, he will probably have to visit some people in the martial arts world. Some of the martial arts involved in it are ones that Wen Yi has never been exposed to. (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature. The novels will be better and updated faster!
