Chapter 989
Then Jing Jian analyzed the two in detail. After listening to it, Hu Juewen and Ding Sheng both felt that it made sense. First of all, the subject must be politically correct, and no one would say that killing the Japanese was wrong. Secondly, it must be a war action movie, with elements of standard popcorn commercial movies.
There is also the selling points of such films, mainly special effects, gunfights and actions. The male and female protagonists are just individuals. Of course, handsome men and beautiful women are definitely better, but actors from the whole mainland can choose whatever they want. They look much more beautiful than the male and female stars played by the Hong Kong media.
But it needs to be admitted that Hong Kong beauty pageant is not at the bottom, and there are also South Korea and Japan. One is blind and people suspect that the beauties in the audience are all twins. Well, united like a family. The other is...? Please, are you still a fake girl in Japan?
Of course, the key is that the pay is almost negligible. To be honest, Chinese movie actors in this era may not have the pay of a movie of 10,000 yuan.
The plot is even simpler, it is nothing more than killing and killing the Japanese in a variety of ways. However, here Jing Jian emphasized that you must not be stupid, play with artistic skills, and you must ensure a happy ending in the end. And you must not have any Japanese beautiful spys falling in love with me, or having a heart-wrenching love triangle, and the heroine and supporting actress die. Anyway, there is a word "satisfaction" from beginning to end, so that the audience can enjoy a two-hour visual feast.
In fact, Jing Jian has already told the essence of the Anti-Japanese War God Drama. Otherwise, why did the Anti-Japanese War God Drama be so popular in another time and space? It is because of such advantages, small investment and high returns. What's more, the terrifying beast basically ignores it, and it's simply a Hengdian that wiped out all the Japanese devils.
However, the stills of the Anti-Japanese War God at that time were still good and bad. In fact, a plot like "hiding thunder in the crotch"? The screenwriter should have dragged it out and shot it, treating the audience too much as an idiot. But like "a grenade bomber", this can be done, why? It's because it's so cool! It doesn't matter if the art is so exaggerated that it breaks through the sky. Also, as long as there are emotional scenes in the Anti-Japanese War God drama, it's certain that the screenwriter and director are experiencing the art of ecstasy again. Here it is recommended that as long as they are investors or producers, put these ecstasy patients on the blacklist in the future!
Hu Juewen and Ding Sheng basically agreed with Jing Jian’s statement. But they still had some questions, so Hu Juewen asked: “Director Jing, there were too many videos in the Anti-Japanese War. Can such a type be guaranteed to be sold? Will the audience be bored?”
Jing Jian shook his head with a smile: "Mr. Hu, the 007 series is the anti-Su God drama, and the Indiana Jones series is also the anti-** God drama! And some elements are even more exaggerated. Bond is a beautiful woman with a car from the sea to space. Indiana Jones has even more magical elements. Just a few mythical characters are almost popping up. Isn't they still the world's top spot? In terms of commercial movies, there are no bad types, only bad screenwriters, directors and actors. Of course, we can modify elements that are not suitable for mainland review, but appropriate artistic processing is very necessary. A hanging wire like a Hong Kong martial arts film is definitely not good, that is not the Anti-Japanese War, but it has become science fiction. Also, the types of action stars like those in Hong Kong are even worse. Those films mainly highlight the performances of action stars. And our Anti-Japanese War God dramas must be simple and practical, and the style is sharp and tense!"
Hu Juewen was thinking, but his previous experience in making revolutionary films made him hesitate. It was not that there were no excellent works in those revolutionary films, but that the audience did not like to watch them and had no confidence in the box office.
Seeing this, Jing Jian smiled and said, "Mr. Hu, do you think this is the case. Can you set up a joint venture film production company first? Just use the seeds of your Yindu and A Sheng to join the joint venture. Your Yindu and your Yindu account for 51% of the shares."
"This is definitely no problem." Hu Juewen didn't have to report to his superiors, and he had the right to make a decision. It is easy to register a film company in Hong Kong, and it doesn't cost much money with capital verification, handling fees, etc. Many law firms even have several ready-made ones in their hands. If you want, you don't need 10,000 Hong Kong dollars. You can wait and get it and transfer it immediately.
Jing Jian continued: "After having the company, Asheng will solve the financing of HK$20 million for you, and use 10 million per movie as a budget, and produce two anti-Japanese war dramas at the same time."
"Too much." Hu Juewen was polite. He also had rich experience in making videos and could basically judge the budget of such videos. "Director Jing, if most of them use mainland actors and crew members, 5 million is enough."
"First calculate it at 10 million, and the budget is looser. If you really have more money, you can also start filming three or four movies at the same time."
Hu Juewen nodded. Anyway, the more money, the better, and he would not dislike it.
Jing Jian continued: "Let's talk about issuance. Let's not say who takes advantage of it. If you add 2 or 5, all the profits will be half of the profits, including Hong Kong, Macao, mainland China and overseas. The dividends of investors are all based on the rules. After collecting the issuance ratio of the industry, they will be given to investors."
"Of course this is the best." If so, Yindu Institution is at all risk-free. However, the conditions are too generous, which makes Hu Juewen feel a little unbelievable. "Director Jing, oh, and Ding Sheng, don't blame me for being too direct. Your seeds are both solving investors and overseas issuance. Are you really not afraid of risks? I want to cooperate for a long time, but I never thought that I would harm my friends, and eventually kill the chicken to get eggs."
Jing Jian laughed out loud: "Haha, Mr. Hu, you are a friend. Actually, I have considered that our mainland itself has a group of loyal audiences with feelings for the Anti-Japanese War films. Is this a problem?" In fact, it goes without saying that now, even twenty years later, the anti-Japanese war dramas are still popular on TV.
Hu Juewen nodded. Although he was still not very confident, he at least agreed with this statement.
Jing Jian continued: "Overseas East Asia, Southeast Asia, all countries and regions, were also victims of Japan's **** during World War II, and they were also potential audiences. Not to mention other markets, Europe and the United States, at least in Eastern Europe, the Soviet World War II films were very popular in China. So why can't China's anti-Japanese war films be popular in the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe? It's just the quality of the film. Therefore, the risk of box office is actually very small. Anyway, we can try to shoot a few movies to see the market's reaction. We can completely cross the river by feeling the stones!"
"Haha, that's true." After thinking about it, Hu Juewen suddenly made a request, "Director Jing, I have a reluctant request. Can you join the production of the video? The chances of success will be much higher."
"Hahaha! You've won the award." Jing Jian laughed, "Then I'll be the name producer. But you can choose another specific producer."
"Then it's decided."
"Okay, that's it."
