Rebirth Begins with a Manga Adaptation

Of the three new dramas, Jing Yu can be said to have played the leading role in none of them. He mainly felt that he was someone over 30 years old, and it felt wrong to play these high school students all day long.

In fact, it's not that I don't want to act. Anyway, no one blames the performance for the whole week. It's still very photogenic, but I just try to play as few high school students as possible. If I really can't find suitable actors in some works in the future, it doesn't mean that I won't act. , but only now. He is really not interested in the characters in the three dramas.

Of course, what Dijiali said is that Dagu is actually an adult, and there is no pressure for Jingyu to play the role, but how to say about the type of Altman, it is too shameful to compare poses in the play, Jingyu doesn't want to watch it ten or twenty years later In the TV series I performed, I saw myself shouting "Tiga!" with a spark prism in my hand, and then transformed into Ultraman.

This kind of thing looks cool in fantasy, but in reality, it's too shameful to do it like this.

As for Attack on Titan and Mobile Suit Gundam, Jing Yu simply doesn't like the male protagonists of the two works. Allen is too stretched in the later stage of the original work. Even though Jing Yu is already preparing to change the ending in the Da Zhou version, he has a preconceived impression. I still don’t like this character in my heart. As for the male lead of Gundam Seed, let’s not talk about it. Jing Yu once watched Seed and hoped that the second male lead would kill him. The first work will not be so popular, but the supporting roles of the two works are very fond of

But with his current popularity, playing a supporting role in a drama would be too much of a distraction, so Jing Yu gave up on this idea, and no more cameo appearances.

However, as the owner of the company, it is also necessary to regularly go to the set to supervise the shooting.

During the release of Jingyu Your Name, the casting of the three works was also in place.

Nowadays, in the film and television drama industry of Dazhou, there are basically no actors that Blue Star Film and Television Company cannot hire. Although the pay is low, it is actually very luxurious to participate in plastic surgery.

In the three works, as long as there are characters with names and surnames, at least third-line actors can win the role at a fraction of the normal salary.

But when they saw Jing Yu, they didn't complain much, on the contrary, they warmed up to Jing Yu one by one.

Everyone is not stupid. When Tang Rui filmed the Fate series, she was paid hundreds of thousands of dollars, but now she relies on an Artoria role-playing to attend a commercial performance with a price starting at two million. With such a high appearance fee, she still pays one Monthly invitations keep coming. Last year, she was also on the list of movie star income rankings in the big week. She debuted for a year and her total income exceeded 50 million, which is higher than many first-line movie star stars.

Playing a role in Jing Yu's work, who is so stupid to care about the salary, is sure that the level of third-tier actors can't be mixed.

Several senior directors in the industry hired by the company saw Jing Yu coming and hurried up to talk to Jing Yu.

Jing Yu wasn’t too interested in the shooting of Attack on Titan and Gundam Seed. This kind of special effects drama is just a green screen on the set, and special effects are synthesized in the post-production. He has shot several such works, and they are all disgusting. .

It's just a special drama like Ultraman.

Jing Yu looked at the city model that had been arranged on the set, and asked the manufacturer to customize the houses, cars, and road models in advance. After the models were placed according to the appropriate proportions, in the entire studio, wearing Ultraman leather suits and monsters A stuntman in a leather case enters the scene.

The pre-arranged low-dose gunpowder explodes and burns during the fight, creating an explosion effect. The camera shoots upwards as much as possible to highlight the hugeness of monsters and Ultraman.

If you want to shoot a house that was crushed by a monster, you have to use a plaster custom-made model house. The house is cut in advance so that it can be broken when the time comes. Put a pile of newspapers inside, and then when the house is crushed, the whole building will collapse. sense of perspective.

When the talcum powder is applied on the body, the body will burst with smoke when fighting, which looks full of shock.

Jing Yu looked at it, and his eyes glowed.

Although he would feel ashamed to let him shoot Ultraman, it is really fun to watch other people shoot.

"How do you feel? Are there any difficulties in filming?" Jing Yu sat next to him and asked director Wang Yifei.

"No problem, it's not difficult to shoot, it's just..." Wang Yifei thought for a while and said.

"I don't know very well, will the audience of Da Zhou buy this type of TV series?"

He also filmed according to Jing Yu's suggestion. Of course, Jing Yu just proposed a plan according to the general shooting method in his previous life, and he decided the actual details.

But it is true that there has never been a special drama in Dazhou before, and he actually has a drum in his heart.

"Don't worry, I decided to shoot this type of work, if the time comes, I won't blame you." Jing Yu said.

Don't say that Wang Yifei has no idea, Jing Yu himself may not have the confidence that Ultraman will be popular in Dazhou.

Although his previous works had good results in the big week, no one can guarantee that this situation will last forever.

Many things can only be estimated roughly.

Jing Yu looked at the set, but he didn't hang around here for too long. After a while, he went to see the set of Gundam Seed.

Relatively speaking, the shooting of Gundam is simpler. Most of the Shinobi are rehearsing scenes in the pre-arranged studio. The protagonist Yamato appears to be fighting the enemy, but in fact he just reads lines in a closed cockpit model. All the battle scenes in the whole show are all special effects.

There is no way, it is impossible, and there is no funds or conditions to really make some Gundams for live shooting, that is too exaggerated.

And Attack on Titan is even more complicated. The set area is huge, and the set inside it looks like a medieval house. The whole set is full of double-digit people hanging on the wire, flying around in the air.

Jing Yu invested almost one billion yuan in it, and the combined area of ​​the three studios is also very large. Basically, there are a large group of reporters outside the studio every day waiting to see if any news will break out.

After Jing Yu wandered around for a while, he left on his own. Everyone, from the director to the actors, felt uncomfortable, as if there was a class teacher watching at the door during class.

In mid-to-late January, the filming of the three dramas also began to get on track. Jing Yu still released information about the three dramas from time to time as before. Anyway, the appetite of fans continued to hang.

On the other hand, the box office of Your Name has finally started to decline. After more than 20 days of release, the total box office has officially exceeded 2.6 billion, but after that, the box office performance has become an average of 30-50 million per day.

And on the twenty-fourth day of its release, the one-day box office champion whose name was finally released until now was finally squeezed out by a new movie.

Seeing this situation, Jing Yuhe let out a long sigh.

Sure enough, it's not that easy.

Your Name is in the previous life Japan Island, which maintained the box office champion in the Japan Island area.

But in the big week, the box office of the movie with the highest box office in film history is as high as 5.9 billion.

Looking at it now, the total box office of your name is about three billion, and there is a high probability that you will enter the top eight in the big weekly film and television box office list.

"Different planes, countries, and indeed subtle differences in the tastes of the works will lead to great changes in the performance of the works."

But in other words, this situation also makes Jing Yu feel reasonable.

After all, Dazhou is Dazhou, not a large Japanese island.

There is a high probability that your name score will stop at 3 billion, which also gives Jing Yu a rough estimate for the score of his subsequent release of Sky City.

In terms of the quality of the original work, Jing Yu personally feels that Laputa in the Sky is better than your name, but when it is actually screened in the big week, the results will depend on whether Hayao Miyazaki is popular in the big week.

Time goes further back.

The daily box office of your name has also dropped from 40 million, 30 million, 25 million, 20 million.

Die-hard fans of your name have finally calmed down after nearly a month of carnival.

"It's a pity that the box office can only stop at less than 3.5 billion."

"What's the pity about this? The old thief invested 100 million yuan in this movie, and the box office is more than 3 billion yuan. He made a lot of money."

"I mean, in fact, the few high-grossing movies on your head are not as good as this one, but"

"Box office and artistry are often a choice between the two. Most of the movies that are recognized as world classics are dismal at the box office. Although I like your name, strictly speaking, it is an excellent fantasy romance movie, and those movies After watching it, it is thought-provoking, reflecting social contradictions, class contradictions, and philosophical movies. Compared with movies, your name is obviously not artistic enough."

"On the whole, this movie is already very good, the plot is also touching, and the commerciality is enough. The most important thing is to maximize the number of audiences. The old thief has become enlightened and knows how to play abuse like Kenshin and Love Letter. , naturally means abandoning a large part of the audience.”

"I'm looking forward to the old thief's castle in the sky ten days later."

"Hey, since the old thief went to make movies, I feel that I have a lot less fun in one day. He only makes two or three movies a year. I would rather watch him make two or three TV series, at least for a long time."

"Don't pick and choose. When are you still thinking about this? The old thief is worth billions now, and he is not bad without retirement. What do you think of him? I am him who has been lying at home for a long time, relying on deposit interest Living as a waste for a lifetime, still fighting?"

"Right."

Your Name audience as the popularity of the movie decreases, their minds are slowly clearing up.

The two major dates of New Year's Day and Spring Festival are generally connected together.

More than a month after New Year's Day, it is the Spring Festival in the old calendar of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

At this moment, your name is still hot, but the entire Dazhou film and television industry has already begun to promote movies for the Spring Festival.

Seven of the top ten films on the box office list in the big week came from the Spring Festival schedule, which shows the importance of this schedule. Every year, heavyweight big-budget movies and movies that are confident of hitting box office records will only choose to be released in this schedule.

Jing Yu's Blue Star Film and Television Culture Company also did the same, spending tens of millions of publicity fees and box office subsidies in just a few days.

But in Sky Castle, Jing Yu is not the leading role, but Jing Yu is the villain.

But the company's publicity department employees didn't care so much, they insisted on promoting the big villain played by Jing Yu, who didn't have many roles in this drama, to the same status as the protagonist in the promotional trailers and posters, occupying the C position on the promotional page.

This is the problem that Jing Yu has been worried about. The actor who plays the protagonist Bass in Sky City is also a very popular and talented young actor in Da Zhou. But compared with Jing Yu in the same drama, his name appeared less than one-tenth of Jing Yu's in the forum discussion posts of Sky City.

The gap in popularity is obvious, so in terms of publicity, Jing Yu can only be brought out and introduced.

As an important supporting role, Jing Yu also started a new round of movie release promotion at the end of January.

In the ten days before the end of the year, the entire Blue Star Film and Television Culture Company was extremely busy.

Sitting in the back seat of the car, Jing Yu also flipped through the competitors of Sky City during the Spring Festival.

Fantasy, romance, funny, bloody, military movies...everything.

In a normal schedule, a movie with an investment of more than 200 million is considered a Big Mac movie in that schedule, but in this year’s Spring Festival, there are six movies with an investment of more than 200 million, including Castle in the Sky.

"Do you feel pressured? It's the first time that a movie will be released during the Spring Festival." Cheng Lie asked.

"Pressure, a movie with an investment of only 300 million yuan, even if it ends up with zero box office, is far from hurting us now." Jing Yu said.

What a shame, Cheng Lie's expression froze.

"I'm not talking about this, what I'm saying is that your Rurouni Kenshin Reminiscences a few years ago was released in the summer, and it was the box office champion of that time period. Love Letter was released in the Qixi Festival of the same year, and it was the box office champion of the Qixi Festival. The Girl Who Leapt Through Time last year The Qixi Festival was released last year, and it was the box office champion of the Qixi Festival last year. Needless to say, your name is on the New Year’s Day this year. I'm going to see the results of Sky City. I want to see if you, Jing Yu, can also come to a movie during the Spring Festival this time, and finally top the box office."

"Who can explain this kind of thing clearly?" Jing Yu said with a smile.

"But if this achievement is really achieved, then Jing Yu, you have also set up a template for undefeated achievements in the film industry. This kind of thing will be very helpful for the growth of your industry influence." Cheng Lie On the contrary, his expression was very excited.

"I hope, but no one can always be number one. Da Zhou also has many excellent talents and screenwriters. Even if it is my work, it is normal to lose to others at any time." Jing Yu said, his eyes flashed Pass a ray of light. .

"It's just. I just watched the trailers and introductions of these movies that will be released during the Spring Festival this year."

"To be honest, I don't think they seem to give me too much pressure. Anyway, the trailer didn't attract me."

"Then what do you mean?"

"Go for it, but don't push too hard"

The conversation between the two stopped just right.

Unexpectedly, Cheng Lie understood that Jing Yu probably wanted to add additional promotional funds to Sky City.

Although Jing Yu has always been that way about the results of his works, I can't guarantee that everything is possible, and it is a normal attitude to rush to the street

But in fact, whenever there is a chance of reaching the top and achieving better results, he will spare no effort to operate.

Cheng Lie and Jing Yu didn't speak next, and returned to the company by car.

At this moment, there are still five days before the Spring Festival.

The next day, the company passed the additional decision on the publicity budget of Sky City.

There are still a few days before the Chinese New Year, although the publicity has not stopped, but most of the company's employees are also preparing to let them go on vacation.

And before the holiday, Jing Yu specially called together all the employees of the company and held a company annual meeting. At the end of the year, all of the hundreds of employees basically got a bonus of more than one year's salary.

After all, Jing Yu did indeed last year. The company's profits were exaggerated. Even if 2% of the profits were used as bonuses, it would be tens of millions of funds.

After the annual meeting, there were basically no people left in the company, except for the Sky City project team who needed to continue working.

And the time has finally come to the last day of the old calendar of the Great Zhou Dynasty, which is the day before the Spring Festival.
