But the zombie theme...
When Jiang Gangmeng thought about Hu Yibao going to shoot this, he felt like there was a thorn stuck in his throat.
Very uncomfortable.
But despite this, when faced with Hu Yibao's request, Jiang Gangmeng would still choose to help without hesitation.
Zhenguo Martial Arts School.
Hu Yibao lay on the bed, holding his phone, and replied, "Then I'll trouble Director Jiang."
After saying that, Jiang Gangmeng's voice came immediately.
"Mr. Hu, you are my boss now, so please don't be polite to me. I will call and contact a few actors to come and try it out according to your requirements."
"Also, let's meet in New World at ten o'clock this morning to review your two zombie movie scripts."
"Okay!" Hu Yibao replied.
After hanging up the phone, Hu Yibao recalled the script contents of "Mr. Vampire" and "One-Eyebrow Taoist Priest" in his mind.
Next, he had to read the script, so Hu Yibao naturally couldn't take out his special item [movie script].
I can only type it out by hand.
Squeezed his own hands.
Hu Yibao got up immediately and opened his notebook.
Not long!
“Crackle!!”
The crisp sound of typing rang out in the room.
Hu Yibao's nimble hands, like an afterimage, kept tapping on the keyboard, lines of words falling one after another.
Because the plots of "Mr. Vampire" and "One-Eyebrow Taoist Priest" are not complicated, the entire script of the two dramas only has 70,000 words in total.
Hu Yibao took more than two hours to finish the game easily.
After saving the file on his mobile phone, Hu Yibao simply washed up and went out.
Ten o'clock sharp.
Hu Yibao and Jiang Gangmeng meet in the New World.
After such a long period of renovation, the 19th floor of the New World Building was transformed into a film production department.
Auditions, script discussions, etc. will all be included in it.
Sitting in the boss chair, Hu Yibao gave Jiang Gangmeng the scripts of "The Taoist Priest with One Eyebrow" and "Mr. Zombie" that he had just printed out in the New World.
Jiang Gangmeng was looking through the script at this time.
It seems that the script does not satisfy Jiang Gangmeng.
His brows gradually furrowed, and his expression became more solemn.
It took an hour.
After reading the two scripts, Jiang Gangmeng looked up at Hu Yibao and said seriously.
"Mr. Hu, if we really shoot according to this script, there's a high probability that we won't even be able to recoup our costs."
In Jiang Gangmeng's opinion, the scripts of these two plays.
Nothing special.
There's nothing particularly eye-catching.
It's a complete innovation based on the zombie movies from more than 30 years ago.
But these innovations are unlikely to attract the attention of today's audiences.
In other words, in the current Chinese film market, if these two films were made by other directors, they would be hard to avoid failure.
As for Hu Yibao's filming, given his reputation, it will be no problem for him to recover the costs, but he will definitely have to bear the blame afterwards.
It's not worth it.
"These are all minor matters." Hu Yibao had anticipated Jiang Gangmeng's concerns and said calmly, "Let's first look at the character issue!"
"Even if they turn out to be flops, I want to do my best to make them the best they can be."
"Do your best and leave the rest to fate!"
To be honest, Hu Yibao himself is not optimistic about the box office performance of "The Taoist Priest" and "Mr. Vampire" after they are filmed.
Maybe only one or two hundred million.
But after filming four comedy films in a row, Hu Yibao really wants to try a new subject matter to challenge himself and relax at the same time. The pressure he has put on himself recently is indeed a bit too much.
"Boss, it's great that you're calm." Jiang Gangmeng sighed and said, "I've already contacted the actors from the mainland early this morning."
"There are five people who meet the requirements, and they will be here this afternoon."
"As for Oriental Pearl Tower, I've already called them. They heard that you're going to make a zombie movie and want to find suitable actors, and they're all very happy."
"Now we are waiting for the specific requirements of the role."
"I have already prepared the actors and specific requirements. Just take a photo and send it to me." Hu Yibao nodded, opened the folder and took out two sheets of paper.
"This is the actor and requirements needed for Mr. Zombie, and this is the actor and requirements needed for One-Eyebrow Taoist Priest."
Jiang Gangmeng took some photos, made several phone calls in front of Hu Yibao, and then sent the photos one after another.
afternoon.
Jiang Gangmeng went to the mainland to find an actor who met the requirements for Hu Yibao and came for audition.
Hu Yibao took a look.
The appearance is okay, but the character matching degree is below 80.
Hu Yibao had no choice but to give up on them.
We can only continue to wait for feedback from Oriental Pearl Tower.
