"Here, this is it!" A script was placed on the table.
Yuan Heping picked up the script from the table and flipped through it. A few minutes later, he raised his head and asked," A war film in ancient times?”
"More or less!" Yang Lang said," A modern archeology graduate student always has a dream, but that dream is his previous life. The mausoleum of Qin Shihuang, the legend of the Elixir of Immortality, generals and foreign princesses, foreign envoys who came to associate with them, and professors who secretly robbed tombs. These elements together formed the film.”
"According to the script, there are many battle scenes. Hong Kong is too small to film, and we don't have any experience.”
Yang Lang held the teacup and blew on the tea with one hand before taking a sip. Then, he placed the teacup on the table and said," Go to the mainland to shoot!”
"Things are different now!" Yang Lang said," Now that the mainland is carrying out reform and opening up, we need to communicate with the outside world, we need to enliven the market, we need technology, and we need funds! If you go over, you will be honored guests. They couldn't push the God of Fortune away.”
"Ten million!" Yang Lang raised a finger.
"Hong Kong dollars?" Eighth Yuan said in surprise. In this day and age, it was rare for a movie to exceed 5 million. 10 million was really a big production.
"RMB!" Yang Lang dropped a bomb. Now, one Hong Kong dollar was equivalent to 0.29 RMB. Ten million RMB was equivalent to more than 30 million Hong Kong dollars.
"We have to show the Qin Dynasty's army formation, equipment, and tactics to the audience. This is respect for history."
"But, I don't understand these things. There are no scholars in Hong Kong who study the history of the Qin Dynasty."
"The continent has it!" Yang Lang said," As for the Qin army's armaments, battle formations, and tactics, I have them here." After he finished speaking, he handed over a small booklet that he had sorted out. Not only were there words, but there were also illustrations. However, those illustrations were not photos but sketches. In this era, there was no way to print out the photos in his phone. He had not been fooling around in Hong Kong for the past six months. On the contrary, he had learned some things, such as sketching and the basic knowledge of Chinese medicine.
In the military forums of later generations, any random scuba divers could describe the military formations of the Qing Dynasty. However, this was 1983, and consulting was not that developed. Therefore, one could imagine how precious this booklet was. To put it bluntly, this booklet could be published as a thesis!
"Boss, this is a military formation with thousands of people. Do you think there are so many extras on the continent?”
"Then what should we use?" Master Eight asked," Are we going to use mannequins?”
"Use the real person!" Yang Lang said," There will be an Infantry Regiment of the People's Liberation Army soldiers to cooperate with the filming. They might even use helicopters."
"Military cooperation?" Eighth Yuan's mouth was wide open, and he said in disbelief," They agreed?”
"Princess Yushu, I chose a tribe that is on both sides of the Xiongnu and Great Qin. Their weapons are bronze, so you must not give a samurai sword to General Jin. If it really didn't work, he could just get a scimitar from the grassland tribe. It was clearly the Bronze Age, but a steel weapon had appeared. He would be scolded by the audience. Don't expose yourself!"
"Also, go to the equestrian association and get some horses.”Yang Lang suddenly thought of something.
Eighth Yuan asked curiously," Horse?"
"Yes, horses!" Yang Lang said clearly.
"The mainland is close to the Mongolian steppe and Tibet. Don't they have horses to shoot a movie?”Eighth Yuan asked.
Yang Lang smiled and explained to Master Eight," The Chinese Empire started castrating their warhorses since the Spring and Autumn Period. The more outstanding a horse is, the more it can't leave behind any descendants. In the end, they could only grow taller, and the warhorses became weaker and weaker with each generation. During the period of the Five Hu and Sixteen Kingdoms, Murong Ke was able to make iron armored chain horses. During the Sui and Tang Dynasties, there were also armor and cavalry equipment. At the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, the Jin Kingdom made iron stupas. However, during the era of Genghis Khan, they could only rely on light cavalry to conquer the world. The reason was that there were fewer and fewer tall horses, and the height of the war horses became shorter and shorter with each generation. The Mongolian horses were now as short as a donkey. The cavalrymen were only one foot away from the ground when they sat on the horses.”
"It can't be helped. It's resistant to coarse feed and isn't as delicate as a horse race. They could survive by eating grass. The key was that they were large in quantity and cheap enough.”Yang Lang said impatiently," This movie is to promote the history and culture of our country and to promote the opening of the tourism industry. Therefore, there could not be any flaws. The general must be tall and mighty, and the warhorse must be fat and strong. Don't turn a war film into a comedy.”
"Yes, I understand!"
"Okay, I'll contact the people from the equestrian association in the afternoon. If it really doesn't work, we can buy some quarter horses from America. They're cheap and in large quantities.”
"Your disciple, Ah Long, will play the first lead role. As for the second lead role, I suggest Li Lianjie.”Yang Lang said.
"You mean the lead actor of Shaolin Temple?”Master Eight asked. "Are they trying to show goodwill to the continent?"
"That's right!" Yang Lang said," All the actors are basically split in half. I suggest giving the supporting role to your disciple, Yuan Biao. His hand is not bad, and there is a fighting scene. As for that villain's professor, I suggest Di Long to use Taiji Fist in his fight scene with Nangong Yan. This is a key promotional project. Don't get it wrong!”
"Alright, I understand!"
In the original movie, Shao Bing's character, Nan Gongyan, also took the elixir of immortality and stayed in the imperial mausoleum with Princess Yu Shu for 2000 years. As the saying goes, a drop of water will wear through a stone, and love will grow over time. Could it be that nothing had happened between the two of them in 2000 years? The director believed it, but the audience did not. Therefore, in Yang Lang's script, after Nangong Yan ate the longevity medicine, he was refined into a living corpse puppet by a warlock and became an ancient general of the Imperial Mausoleum who was buried with him! Once someone broke into the Imperial Mausoleum and triggered the array, he would wake up and fight the enemy!
"By the way, boss, you haven't said who the female lead will be?”
Yang Lang thought about it and said,"Give it to Zhao Yazhi." Shanghai Bund has already accumulated her popularity. She has fans in Hong Kong, Taiwan, Japan, Korea, and Southeast Asia. It can also help us open up the market.”
"Angie?" Master Eight thought for a moment. She was beautiful and her acting skills were not a problem. It's very suitable!"
"For the two villains, Zhao Kuang can be played by my friend Hu Bayi. He is a soldier who has participated in the war and can definitely handle this role. As for the rebel commander who killed Wang Gui, you can hand him over to my friend Wang Kaixuan.”
"Uh," Eighth Yuan was stunned."This Mr. Wang Kaixuan is?"”
"Alright, no problem!"
After Yuan Heping left, Yang Lang walked to the window and looked at Victoria Bay in the distance. However, he was communicating with the System in his mind. "The more I change, the more points I get, right?”
"Half right!" The System's voice sounded in his mind.
"There are two ways to change. Good changes will increase your points. Bad changes will result in points being deducted."
"Alright then!" Yang Lang said," Then these changes, to put it bluntly, are achievements! The greater the achievement, the more points you will get, right?”"For example, I was originally an assistant engineer, but in this world, I became an explorer, a writer, an entrepreneur, and a peacemaker. These achievements earned me points.”
"Yes!" The system said," Compared to changing the storyline quest, changing the world background is more difficult, and the achievements obtained are greater!”
"So, I donated firearms to the country, provided intelligence to promote the birth of the special forces, and changed the course of the border war to a certain extent, allowing me to obtain more than 10,000 points?”
"Yes!"
"Then, it seems that I still have some things to do."
