Chapter 264 Director Candidates (34)
"Soldier Assault", Shen Xudong decided to invest in the production, as the company's first TV series!
Anyway, it's 1200 million.
Orange Sky provided 800 million funds, accounting for half of the investment, and Gao Fenfen got another 400 million from the TV station...
Shen Xudong didn't even intend to invite Zhang Guoli. Isn't it a coincidence, let him intervene...
"...you wrote the script?"
"My senior brother, Lan Xiaolong's script, originally called "Erna Assault", won the Cao Yu Drama Award...The plot is very simple, from a rookie to a soldier king...It's a very manly drama!"
"...No emotional scenes?"
"Well...so, I'm a bit afraid to do it." Of course, Shen Xudong quickly changed the subject: "But I think there should be a market for this drama, because many people are interested in special forces..."
Zhang Guoli chuckled: "Then do it..."
"Good Le!"
Shen Xudong was about to praise the script of "Soldier Assault", when Feng Xiaogang finished reading "Glory of the Tang Dynasty" over there: "This is really well written! It has a sense of national epic!"
"...No, these are all historical events..."
After the Anshi Rebellion, Anxi lost contact with the Central Plains, and the Western Regions became enclaves, and the central government did not know that the Western Regions were still there.The Tang army steadfastly guarded the Western Regions for forty years and finally overthrew.
Looking at Chang'an in the northwest, there are countless mountains.
Master Wang has lived for [-] years and never returned to Yumen Pass...
The last Anxi Army of the Tang Dynasty, guarding the Western Regions alone for 50 years, the last battle in an isolated city, full of white-haired veterans in the heavy snow;
Speaking of this, Shen Xudong continued: "In fact, many historical stories are suitable for film adaptation, such as Murong Chui, the undefeated god of war, the hero's twilight years, and the destruction of the [-] Dragon City cavalry who worked hard all his life. Pei, mourning the soldiers who died in battle, weeping endlessly... By the way, the Thirteen Heroes returned to Yumen..."
Why are these things not recorded in the history books?
Many people don't even know the name of Guo Xin, the commander-in-chief of the Anxi Army of the Tang Dynasty!
Because, we have never mentioned the tragic war between Tang and Tibet, but only mentioned two peace and one alliance between the two sides...
"If I didn't have time, I would have to shoot this scene!"
Director Feng is not yet in a state of magic...
He had to wait for him to enter the [-] million yuan directors club, and then he wanted to prove that he was not only good at making "comedy and New Year's films", and transformed into a literary "Night Banquet"...
And then being yelled at...
Shen Xudong thought for a while, and then praised: "No matter who shoots Jackie Chan, it must be Jackie Chan's movie, and it will not be regarded as the director's work... There is no need for a director like you to cooperate with this type of actor..."
"Too…"
Feng Xiaogang nodded: "I heard from them that during the filming of "Heaven and Earth Heroes", Jiang Wen couldn't sit still, all kinds of distractions overwhelmed the host..."
……
The Japanese actor of "Heaven and Earth Heroes" is called Nakai Kiichi. After returning to Japan, he wrote a memoir about the filming of "Heaven and Earth Heroes". In the book, Nakai Kiichi was very dissatisfied with Jiang Wen because Jiang Wen often went to He Ping, the director, is a bit overwhelming...
He Ping and Feng Xiaogang have a very good relationship.
Back then, he served as the producer of "Party A and Party B" and "Be There or Be Square" directed by Feng Xiaogang.
He Ping starred in "Big Wrist", as for "China's audio-visual industry, it's a lot of oil and water, let's take this DVD as an example. There are 2 million DVDs in China, and each DVD player consumes 7 DVDs per year. Let’s take a royalty of 10 yuan for a DVD, this 1 yuan multiplied by 1 is ten yuan, 10 times 10 million, this is 2 million...'
It can be regarded as a representative figure among the fifth generation of directors.
To be directed by Jiang Wen to make a movie...
In fact, Jackie Chan is the same, several representative works "Police Story 1, 2", "Project A", "Project A Sequel" are written, directed and acted by him...
The personal color is too strong, the basic script, director, martial arts style, and narrative are all built around this core protagonist, and everyone else is a supporting role.
Therefore, in order to perform in a style that suits you, you must intervene in the on-set affairs. Slowly, you can only direct and act on your own, so that other supporting roles can be integrated into your own personal film style...
There is no right or wrong, it can only be said that movies are so diverse.
In fact, Jackie Chan also did something that made the director empty-"Serious Crime Squad".
"Serious Crime Squad" was originally called "Beast Detective". The prototype was the kidnapping of a rich man Wang Dehui by robbers. Director Huang Zhiqiang found screenwriters such as Chen Desen, Zhang Zhicheng, and Chen Wenqiang to adapt this case into a movie and named it "Beast Detective". , starring Li Lianlian.
But during this period, due to salary contract issues, Li Lianlian and Golden Harvest fell out, and the filming was forced to stop. Later, Golden Harvest asked Jackie Chan to save the scene and changed the name of the movie to "Serious Crime Squad". The director is still Huang Zhiqiang.
Director Huang Zhiqiang is a typical tertiary film director who likes to add some violent and sexual elements to his movies.
Jackie Chan doesn't like the fact that there are inappropriate elements in his movies!
Golden Harvest had to finally compromise with Jackie Chan, abandoning Huang Zhiqiang and replacing him with Chen Zhihua...
Including "Drunken Master 2", this film was led by Jackie Chan to raise funds for the Hong Kong Stuntman Association to build an office building, so he took out his classic IP in his early years - the famous work "Drunken Master"...
A large number of stunt people were invited to participate, including Liu Jialiang...
During the filming process, the two also had differences due to different ideas. In the end, Liu Jialiang gave up the position of director after less than two weeks of filming, and instead of being a director, he only became an actor...
There is also a short story in this, that is, after filming "Drunken Master 2", Liu Jialiang felt that it was not suitable for him to become an out-and-out Jackie Chan work, so he immediately invited Andy Lau, Li Jiaxin, Zheng Shaoqiu and others to start a new stove and directed and acted a movie by himself. "Drunken Master 3", and arranged to release PK in the same year as Jackie Chan's "Drunken Master 2"...
In fact, Jackie Chan's "Drunken Master 2" was initially called "Drunken Master Ultimate" by Golden Harvest, but the producer of "Drunken Master 3" was Li Jiansheng, a member of the family class...
Jackie Chan ordered to change the name of all the previous movie posters to "Drunken Master 2", so that "Drunken Master 3" can be released in a legitimate way...
Shen Xudong told Feng Xiaogang and Zhang Guoli about this: "I feel that Jackie Chan's personality is that of a big brother, you give me face, and I will give you face!"
Zhang Guoli was surprised: "How do you know so many things?"
"I made "The Screening Room", which tells the past of Hong Kong movies. I have read a lot of materials! And I am very interested in gossip and gossip, including behind-the-scenes materials. I basically remember it at a glance..."
"Then who do you think is suitable to be the director of "Glory of the Tang Dynasty"?"
Shen Xudong scratched his head: "I haven't thought about this..."
"Really?"
Shen Xudong chuckled, and then said: "...Xu Ke, after all, his "New Dragon Inn" environment is very close to "Glory of the Tang Dynasty"..."
"Xu…"
Zhang Guoli looked at Feng Xiaogang, and the latter said, "He seems to be filming "Seven Swords"...the movie of Ciwen!"
"You recommend another one!"
