Rebirth of the Evil Life

Timely update: After signing the contract with John Woo, Lin Feng held a press conference to announce this blockbuster news. / /

Not surprisingly, when Lam Feng announced that he would officially start filming "Infinite Horror" and invited John Woo to be the director and Yuen Woo-Ping to be the action director. He would also hire the director of the original film to be the on-site director and guaranteed to invite all the characters from the original film to star. Crazy.

For domestic movie fans and players, "Infinite Horror" has always been a dream. This was a movie that was impossible to start filming, but I didn't expect that Lin Feng would actually start filming. And the lineup is so strong, with a guaranteed minimum of 10 episodes and a total investment of 1 billion US dollars. We also invited the most famous Chinese directors John Woo and Yuan Heping. We also invited those Hollywood gold medal directors to provide on-site guidance, and the original cast of the film also played supporting roles. , this is fucking crazy.

But everyone, it’s great! Very cool! Very cool! Especially for those gamers, they are extremely happy. Originally, the game "Infinite Horror Ne" was not yet known when it would be released. No one knew, so everyone could only continue to wait. Although it is said that it will be released for public testing next year, for such a huge game, it is normal if the release is delayed. Many players are mentally prepared for the possible delay in "Infinite Horror Ne". However, if you are prepared, you should be prepared, but my heart is tangled.

Now that the filming of "Infinite Horror" has begun, there is no doubt that it can alleviate their inner anxiety. Of course, there is still a lot of time before filming. However, you can watch "Jin Yong's Heroes" first. Whether or not Lin Feng stars, "Jin Yong's Legend of Heroes" is a martial arts TV series worth watching. Of course, it is also the most worthy of complaints about the martial arts TV series.

You talk about Qiao Feng and Hong Qigong. Who is awesome? In "Jin Yong's Legend of Heroes", the two of them have fought several times, and each has won or lost. But in the eyes of many martial arts fans. But that’s not what I think. Some think that Qiao Feng should kill Hong Qigong instantly, while others think that Hong Qigong has rich experience, possesses the dog-beating stick technique, and has deep internal strength, so he should be better than Qiao Feng. That's not all. There are also Chen Jialuo and Chen Jinnan. These two people are part of the Red Flower Club and the other is the Heaven and Earth Club. Who do you think will be more powerful? They are both extraordinary heroes, so who will be more powerful?

There are so many and so many that it is impossible to directly determine the outcome, making all movie fans angry. It can be said that "Jin Yong's Legend of Heroes" has become the first and most controversial martial arts TV series in history. As an appetizer while waiting for the "Infinite Horror" TV series to come out, it's obviously good.

For foreign movie fans, this "Infinite Horror" is very unfamiliar. And it was a Chinese director, but it also aroused their interest, strong interest. It's very simple. Many of the original cast members of the original movies will appear in it, and these movies were all familiar in the past. All are classics. And most of these are horror movies or thrillers, and there are always all kinds of regrets in them. It is undoubtedly very exciting to change those regrettable endings through this "Infinite Horror".

so,

"Infinite Horror" has become a hit even before filming started.

Of course, what makes it even more popular is the selection of several actors for "Infinite Horror". There is no need to discuss the actors in those scenes. They are all the original cast of the original movie. What about the protagonists in the novel? Zheng Zha, Zhang Heng, Chu Xuan, etc., who will play these people? Naturally, the roles of these people have begun to become a discussion among movie fans. Intense discussions began throughout China.

"Boss, this actor is indeed a very troublesome candidate. Both his acting skills and appearance must be matched appropriately." After receiving the script and reading it in detail, John Woo began to have his first headache.

When John Woo saw the script of "Infinite Horror", he immediately understood that it was a Hollywood blockbuster-style script. It did not have any requirements for the plot. All it needed was various stunts, various hot scenes, and of course handsome guys and beauties. . But there is one thing in between, that is, if you want this movie to be successful, the actors must have the right appearance and superb acting skills. For example, John Woo's "Face" once filmed, the plot is actually very simple. The police arranged for an undercover agent to transform into a terrorist and go to the prison to find out the location of the gas bomb. But unexpectedly, the terrorist escaped after being plastic surgery to look like him. Then the identities of both parties were exchanged, and the police wanted to find their own identities and protect the safety of their families. The terrorists, however, want to kill the police so that they can become police themselves.

The plot is not complicated, it is very simple, and the test is all about acting skills. But because of the outstanding acting skills of the two main protagonists Nicolas Cage and John Travolta, it became the North American box office champion that year. It also allowed John Woo to truly gain a foothold in Hollywood.

In the same way, if this "Infinite Horror" wants to be a success just by relying on dazzling stunts and hot scenes, it will be impossible. Without acting skills, no matter how dazzling the special effects are, the movie will only become a viewing film and cannot be recognized by movie fans.

Therefore, actors are very important. But looking at the description of the character in his hand, John Woo had a headache.

"Haha, well, Director Wu, don't be in a hurry, let's take our time. Anyway, there are fans discussing it, so let's just sit back and enjoy the results!" Lin Feng laughed.

John Woo thought for a while and nodded. Of course, it won't work if it depends entirely on the fans, he will still start auditions. See if there are any new people. Of course, newcomers are not just required to have similar appearance, but more importantly, acting skills. He must have acting skills. He does not require acting skills like Nicolas Cage, but at least he cannot make the audience feel that he is not as good as his own acting.

After John Woo started the audition mode, Lin Feng was not idle either. Went to Los Angeles again. During this period of time, Lin Feng had nothing to worry about in terms of his main business. With Paul Allen and Erika Kazama taking charge, Lin Feng felt more relaxed than before. Erika Kazama's truth-telling ability is even better than Wu Zhaopu's, and she was formerly in the public relations department and is very good at managing interpersonal relationships. In less than a month, she has established a firm foothold in the 'Second World'. And she has established a set of interpersonal networks that only she knows, which, to put it mildly, enhances the company's cohesion. To put it mildly, it’s surveillance.

To this. Lin Feng was not displeased at all. As the company expanded, all kinds of commercial spies swarmed in. I also need this surveillance system. Although there is surveillance by the 'Langya', it is external after all and is far less reliable and secretive than internal.

And Paul Allen. It fully demonstrated his terrifying talent as a mathematical genius and investment genius. After these years of silence, Paul Allen has successfully persuaded several software companies to develop exclusive software for the 'Pangu System'. At the same time, Paul Allen also began to organize the company's internal software engineers and began to write a series of practical software for consumers. Lin Feng can predict that as long as the company is given time, Paul Allen will definitely create a surprise.

certainly. Paul Allen always had a plan that he wanted to realize, and he approached him. It's just that the plan was a little crazy. Lin Feng is still hesitating. So, no consent. After this period of time has passed, you really need to think about it carefully. Although this plan is crazy and may not be profitable, in case there is any surprise. The harvest is far greater than anything else. Even if it is compared to the 'Ten Thousand Towers Project', it is much bigger.

After thinking about it, Lin Feng had already arrived in Los Angeles. Naturally, Lin Feng came to Los Angeles to meet with two gold medal Hollywood directors, James Cameron and Steven Spielberg. For other directors, such as Paul Anderson of "Resident Evil", Lin Feng can solve the problem with a phone call. Although these two great masters are directors contracted by their own companies. But his reputation is too high, and the two of them were somewhat kind to Lin Feng at the beginning. After all, when he was filming "Prison Break", he was not as successful as he is now. Steven Spielberg was willing to take over the filming, which is really impressive. Save your own face. As for James Cameron, let's not talk about it. When he had a falling out with Oscar, the great master gave him face, stood firmly on his side, and joined his company.

As far as this friendship is concerned, it doesn’t make sense for Lin Feng not to come in person.

"Lin, are you really going to make "Infinite Terror"?" Spielberg asked.

Lin Feng nodded.

"This is a super big production. If I weren't still planning "Avatar", I would be interested." James Cameron sighed.

"Haha, James, isn't there a story about Team America? I can film it for you then." Lin Feng said with a smile.

Although it was originally promised to John Woo that he could shoot versions of other teams, there are so many teams in "Infinite Horror" that John Woo might not be able to shoot them all by himself in his lifetime. It's okay to take one out and show it to Cameron.

"Then I want one too." Spielberg smiled.

"Haha, that's easy. There are two American teams, one for East America and one for West America. Each of them can shoot one." Lin Feng chuckled.

The two gold medal directors looked at each other and smiled. The reason why they are interested is because of the diversity of the plot. They also want to relive the movies they have shot before, so filming "Infinite Horror" allows them to enjoy the process.

As for the script, Lin Feng wrote it and they just revised it. The two gold medal directors absolutely believed in Lin Feng's screenwriting ability.

"When the filming comes, I hope you two can give me more guidance. After all, many scenes are in movies under your name." Lin Fengxiao said.

The two nodded. This of course goes without saying. Since they are interested in filming "Infinite Horror", they naturally have to go to the scene to provide guidance and learn from experience. After all, they have never made such a complicated movie before.

"Then it's settled. As for the original actors, I think I can only hope that the two of them will come forward more often." Lin Feng said please.

When I came to Los Angeles this time, the most important thing was to have the two of them come forward to help me find the original cast members. Otherwise, it would be too difficult to do it on your own.

"Well, that's easy to say. As long as they don't have a movie date and we come forward, they still have to give some face. But if they have a movie date, you need to talk about it. Of course, we can talk about it, but you have to More money," Cameron said.

"That's no problem. As long as I can star in it, I'm willing to spend any amount of money." Lin Feng nodded.

Lin Feng still doesn't care about this little money. As long as we can start shooting, that's fine.

"But, Lin, how are you going to recover the cost? I read it and you decided to invest 100 million US dollars per episode, not counting the actors' remuneration. Have you thought about how to recover the cost? Although you have money, you can't do this. Flowers," Spielberg said.

If Spielberg and Lin Feng were not familiar with each other and the relationship was just between the director and the production company, then Spielberg would not bother to care about it. The more money you have, the better, but as a friend, Spielberg has the responsibility to remind Lin Feng.

"Well, I'm also thinking about this issue. You can sell the copyright for TV series, but it is estimated that the maximum cost per episode is only 10 million yuan. Compared with the investment cost, the difference is too big. Then you can sell the online copyright, and you can make a little more. Also You can add sponsors at the end of the film, which can also recover some costs. I estimate that I can recover up to about 50 million yuan per episode. Of course, if it is sold abroad and the ratings are high, I think it should be able to reach 1. Collect about 20 million US dollars!" Lin Feng said.

The revenue of one episode is 20 million US dollars, which is already very high. You know, the average cost of a TV series in the United States is $5 million. Being able to earn 20 million US dollars is already very profitable. But compared to the $100 million invested in this episode of "Infinite Terror," this is a bit crazy. That's far from insolvent.

"So, I think, if you are in China, you can sell TV series. But overseas, you should not sell TV series." Spielberg said.

"Well, that's right. If you are abroad, it will be released in theaters. Three episodes will be broadcast in a row. That adds up to 135 minutes." Cameron said.

Lin Feng nodded. Indeed, it is a bit inappropriate for you to show a movie in China. After all, you are filming a TV series. It was also to satisfy Run Run Shaw's conditions. But overseas, if I still show it as a TV series, I will suffer a big loss.

"Also, you invest so much and have so many scenes in each episode. I think you can make these scenes permanent. In other words, they can be rented out to other crews for filming in the future, and can be used as a tourist attraction. I think if you build such a large movie base near Hollywood, it almost becomes a city, and these attractions are enough to attract people." Cameron said.

"Well, in many of the movies we shoot, the scenes are very simple and rely entirely on acquired CG technology. But you can make the scenes into real scenes, which can largely save part of the production cost of CG technology. In this way, maybe It can save some costs!" Spielberg said.

Lin Feng suddenly realized. Sure enough, ginger is still spicy!
