"Are people in and outside the industry so pessimistic about zombie movies?"
Hu Yibao has seen the trending searches on Weibo and related news.
On Weibo, many fans even sent private messages to persuade Hu Yibao not to make zombie movies.
After confirming that Hu Yibao wanted to make a zombie movie, the bigwigs in the circle took the initiative to persuade Hu Yibao to give up this idea.
Some even directly suggested changing the zombies into zombies. The main reason was to follow the international trend and add some comedy to it, which might increase the box office.
Hu Yibao imagined in his mind a group of zombies jumping around in the dim world. The scene was simply out of place.
It was directly denied by Hu Yibao.
Even because of these people's opposition, Hu Yibao became more determined to make a zombie movie.
Just as Hu Yibao was lost in thought, Jiang Gangmeng walked in.
"Boss, I've received actor recommendations from several directors at the Oriental Pearl Tower."
"Here's the list, take a look."
Jiang Gangmeng handed Hu Yibao a few pieces of paper, which contained not only the basic information of the actors but also relevant full-body color photos.
Hu Yibao took a look.
His gaze finally fell on an actor named Ling Genbao.
Although he was not standing in front of Hu Yibao, Hu Yibao had no way to check his role matching through the [Casting] skill, but just this one photo made Hu Yibao feel that the matching degree should not be lower than his own.
The appearance is just perfect.
"Let them come to Shanghai for auditions tomorrow." Hu Yibao then said to Jiang Gangmeng.
"Okay!" Jiang Gangmeng nodded.
After spending several months together, Jiang Gangmeng has become very familiar with Hu Yibao's decisive and vigorous style.
He also wants to start filming the movie as soon as possible.
He has read the script.
The plot is simple and the scene switching is not complicated.
Two zombie movies, shot back-to-back, can be completed in twenty days.
Hu Yibao pondered for a moment, then said, "Director Jiang, I'll be the only one doing this zombie film shoot!"
Seeing Jiang Gangmeng's puzzled expression, Hu Yibao continued.
"Atlantic Cinemas is a bit rushed with the script for Modern Family. According to the original contract, filming for Modern Family was to begin after the filming of Shameless Iron Fist was completed."
"We should also abide by the contract."
The contract for the script and filming of "Modern Family" has already been signed with Atlantic Cinemas. The remuneration is quite high, and there is also a share of the box office.
During the filming of "The Shameful Iron Fist", Hu Yibao and Jiang Gangmeng would discuss the plot of "Modern Family" together when they had time and polish the script.
The current script of "Modern Family" is not much worse than "The Shameful Iron Fist".
With a box office of over 10 billion, it is still worthy of the title.
Seeing that Jiang Gangmeng seemed to have said something earlier, Hu Yibao followed up, "Director Jiang, don't worry about the zombie movie. I can shoot it alone without any problems. I am also prepared for a flop."
"Your next work focus will be on the filming of Modern Family."
[Master Yimei] and [Mr. Zombie] are still quite challenging for Hu Yibao.
Even if he fails, Hu Yibao doesn't care. He just takes it as a break to adjust his state.
not to mention……
I put so much heart and soul into it, how could "Mr. Vampire" and "The Taoist Priest" fail?
Must be popular!
And it has to be a big fire!
The kind that goes viral!
"Okay!" Jiang Gangmeng looked at Hu Yibao seriously and finally nodded. "Then from now on, I will focus on "Modern Family"."
The filming of "Mr. Vampire" and "The Taoist Priest with One Eyebrow" was not difficult, and after such a long period of collaboration, Jiang Gangmeng has personally experienced Hu Yibao's directing ability, which is really amazing.
Whether I go or not will not have any impact on the final production of "Mr. Vampire" and "The Taoist Priest".
What's more, Jiang Gangmeng really doesn't think highly of these two zombie movies...
I have long wanted to use the experience accumulated during this period of filming with Hu Yibao to mix my own style with Hu Yibao's to shoot "Modern Family".
"Director Jiang, you should also start work as soon as possible!" Hu Yibao nodded. "I'll help you choose the actors for 'Modern Family'."
"Modern Family" now has the funding for the script, and New World has been recruiting crew members for the filming of the movie.
Under the temptation of high salaries, a lot of people were indeed recruited.
Take the current New World Films filming team as an example.
That's more than enough to shoot two dramas at the same time.
It's possible to shoot three movies at the same time.
Hu Yibao also plans to use the newly recruited team members to shoot "Mr. Vampire" and "The Taoist Priest with One Eyebrow" to polish them.
Afterwards, Hu Yibao gathered the staff of New World Film Department, talked about the focus of New World's work in the future, and assigned some tasks to everyone.
…
The next morning.
Hu Yibao received auditioning actors from Oriental Pearl Tower at New World.
Ling and Bao, whom Hu Yibao is very optimistic about, are also among them.
Hu Yibao used the [Casting] skill to check the compatibility of Ling and Bao's characters.
You don’t know until you see it, and it really scared Hu Yibao.
Script: Mr. Zombie
