Zhang Yimou's appearance really surprised Yuki Kusano.

But fortunately, Han Sanye said hello before, but the boss of China Film just said, there is a special person who wants to see you.

I didn't say who it was, it was just special.

Kusano Yuki thought it might be Gong Li for a while, after all, this sister was put on her own set at the beginning, maybe she would come back to find a scene.

It turned out to be Zhang Yimou, so it seems that his guess is quite close to the answer, isn't it?

So, what did Zhang Yimou do when he came to Yuki Kusano?

The two had a brief greeting, and Yuki Kusano also took Zhang Yimou to visit his studio.

The so-called set is of course Hengdian, in fact, Hengdian has an advantage, that is, you can shoot films all year round, the climate here is very good, and it rarely snows.

Surely someone will say, since it rarely snows, what about the snow scene?

You can make it.

In fact, from the perspective of filming, the cost of waiting for snow is much higher than that of making snow.

There's no way, that's it, let's just say that a crew eats horses and chews, how much does it cost?

How much does it cost to rent equipment?

There is also the salary of actors, and those big stars are calculated according to time.

It's much easier to make snow, and the conscience is to use chemical fertilizer, that is, urea, this thing is a crystal, very similar to snowflakes, but it has to be overwhelming, and the cost is also high.

is more unconscionable, especially if it will save, then it has to be said TVB, the pictures in many TVB dramas that we commonly see, the set, especially the snow scene, is simply spicy.

In other words, in the work of making a movie, the idea is one thing, and the key is the technique.

Zhang Yimou followed Yuki Kusano and chatted while walking, and soon talked about the technique.

"Director Kusano, I've always admired a person. ”

"Mr. Kurosawa, right. ”

"Haha, you're so amazing, I thought it was very rare for you to be able to say Chinese so well, but I didn't expect you to ...... Guess it. ”

When he said this, Zhang Yimou's sentence was a little strange, because he didn't think so.

About this, Kusano Yuki knew it very well in his heart, but out of politeness, he made a small point, "Actually, I have always paid attention to Director Zhang, and I have seen almost all of Director Zhang's works. ”

As soon as these words came out, Zhang Yimou was very happy, "Director Kusano, how can I say this, I don't mean that, that, that meaning, can you understand?"

"I understand. Yuki Kusano nodded.

In fact, there is a hurdle that is difficult to overcome in the dialogue between the two of them, that is, age and the sooner or later they become famous.

Yuki Kusano is definitely a junior, Zhang Yimou is definitely a senior, he has long been a well-known director in Asia, and he is one of the few big directors with international prestige.

Although there are many black spots on Zhang Yimou's body, these are realistic situations and should not be denied completely.

And now, Yuki Kusano's momentum is very strong, and the previous films with China Film are also very successful, Zhang Yimou seems to be a little inferior to the director of Kusano.

In the previous filming of "Happy Time", he was actually very ambitious, that happy girl was selected in the national draft, and the person selected was really like a white lotus...... Of course, it is indeed the White Lotus right now, and this matter is not distracted, at least from the perspective of looking at the face.

Moreover, there is also Uncle Benshan in the movie, in terms of acting skills, Uncle Benshan can probably be said to be a member of the President Mountain level among Chinese actors.

But the box office failure of this movie should be said to be that it did not lose money, but there are also many media who say that he Zhang Yimou is box office poison.

Yes, as far as the current situation is concerned, Zhang Yimou should not 'play a big name', but his fame is there, and there is nothing he can do. Now, Yuki Kusano has directly said this thoroughly, so it will be much easier to say next.

"Actually, I've always admired Mr. Kurosawa, and many of his shots and the use of color have deeply influenced me, and now, director Kusano, who is known as the heir of Akira Kurosawa, I have something I want to talk to you about. ”

"Please. ”

"I said a few years ago that I wanted to make a three-stage narrative movie, and to put it bluntly, I wanted to make a movie based on "Rashomon". As for this story, it's still being polished, but I'd like to ask Director Kusano for a favor, how about it?"

"Oh, what's the rush?"

Yuki Kusano actually thought of it before, I'm afraid it's this movie.

That's right, it's Heroes!

But Yuki Kusano didn't expect Zhang Yimou to say so.

"I would like to ask Director Kusano to join our crew as a special advisor. ”

"Special Counsel?"

Yuki Kusano was really a little confused, and after thinking about it, she laughed again.

Zhang Yimou continued: "Actually, this is the case, I hope Director Kusano can give me some advice, but it seems inconvenient to know this kind of thing, after all, we all know that directing a movie, and the last thing we like is to listen to others." I don't have that kind of idea, just ask Director Kusano to help me, I definitely don't have it. But I really hope to cooperate with Director Kusano, and I can't handle this matter well......"

Zhang Yimou's words were a little messy, but Yuki Kusano smiled even deeper.

"Director Zhang, you can say it bluntly, do you want to use my fame? In this way, you can use Mr. Kurosawa's fame, as if this movie was inherited from him, right?"

When he said this, Zhang Yimou's old face turned red.

He was originally a peasant face, in fact, he was quite handsome when he was young, but now that he is older, he looks more and more like, and he is not white, this kind of blush is actually invisible, but now it is clear.

Yuki Kusano understood when he saw it, and he continued, "I can't do this. ”

In such a denial, Zhang Yimou's face turned even redder, and he held back for a long time before saying: "I know that Director Kusano is such a person, so I felt that there was a problem when I came." ”

Saying this, Yuki Kusano was curious, "Could it be that you didn't mean to come to me?"

"Alas~" Zhang Yimou also sighed, "The movie I made before lost money, and now the management hopes that I can find more resources, and after thinking about it, I found Director Kusano's head, please understand, in fact, I ......"

Yuki Kusano simply interrupted: "Director Zhang, although I can't do that, I can ......."

"What?" Zhang Yimou was happy.

In fact, Yuki Kusano has no ill feelings towards Zhang Yimou, although this great director has been criticized by many people, but in fact, many genre films in China were tried by him first.

For example, "Ancient and Modern Wars of the Qin Warriors", this is actually a commercial film, different from the movies he made before, he also deliberately went to Hong Kong to learn art, and found Cheng Xiaodong to teach him to shoot action scenes, in fact, it can be regarded as teaching him to make commercial films.

Lao Mouzi actually likes to go to thunder.

Yuki Kusano knows this.,He's now...

"I can be a consultant, but I have one thing, and that is that I have to really exercise the power of this advisor. ”

"Huh?"

Zhang Yimou was stunned.

What I just said is to the effect that 'if you come over and put up a name, we will definitely give the money, but we don't need you for some filming things.'" ’

Mmmm, that's pretty much what it means.

The reason why Zhang Yimou wants to do this is very simple, that is, because the movie "Hero" is indeed filmed in imitation of Akira Kurosawa's "Rashomon".

Originally, Mr. Kurosawa passed away, and the Japanese film emperor was not in the world, so Zhang Yimou had no scruples.

But now it's different, Yuki Kusano, a character who was given high hopes by Akira Kurosawa, he came out.

To put it simply, you Zhang Yimou imitated Akira Kurosawa to make this movie, did you get the consent of Yuki Kusano?

Of course, Yuki Kusano has absolutely no power to stop Zhang Yimou from doing this, but he is an authentic heir, and you Zhang Yimou is just a fan.

There is such a relationship in between, so Zhang Yimou came up with such an idea.

But I don't want to, Director Kusano not only saw through it, but now he even wants to ...... Really plug in a lever!

Zhang Yimou had a feeling that it was difficult to ride a tiger, he really didn't expect that Yuki Kusano would choose to do this.

Which is more comfortable to take money and not work, or to work with money?

However, if you think about it, they Japanese may be so stubborn sometimes, so this matter makes sense.

In fact, Koneko Kusano is not Japanese, and he has his own ideas about doing so.

"Director Zhang, I have one more request here. ”

"What?"

Is it so quick to exercise the powers of this advisor?

"I make this movie, you can also come over and help, that is, be a consultant. ”

When Zhang Yimou heard this, he laughed at the time, "Director Kusano, I only understand you now, I was wrong before......!"

Yuki Kusano laughed along.

Isn't it fair that I'll be your advisor and you'll be my advisor?

But in fact, Yuki Kusano has a advantage here.

In the second part of "Red Cliff", he plans to create it in another form.

It's like going through five levels and killing six generals before, there is chivalry in it.

Therefore, Yuki Kusano plans to shoot the style of martial arts.

"Hero" is a martial arts film after all.

can not only use Zhang Yimou's fame, but also his grasp of the lens and picture.

This transaction does not pay off.

Moreover, Yuki Kusano really wants to give some advice to "Heroes".

So, it didn't take long for a piece of news to come out.

The second part of "Red Cliff" has the great director Zhang Yimou joining!
