Chapter 537: A Good Story in the Film Industry
"Mr. Hu's presence really makes me shine." Two days later, Qiao Feng greeted the martial arts master in his fifties at the company.
"Mr. Qiao praised it falsely, and I thank Mr. Qiao for watching it, so that the old man can still participate in such a big production before he retires." It's Hu Jinquan who came, the old man is actually not very old, more than fifty, but his health is not very good, and he has basically retired in the past two years.
"Hello Mr. Hu." Xu Ke, who was also in the company, also stepped forward to say hello.
"Xu Ke, hello." For Xu Ke, an out-and-out junior, Hu Jinquan is not as polite as Qiao Feng.
Not to mention the problems of the seniors, just saying that Xu Ke wants to shoot his classic film Longmen Inn, the two have been in contact many times, and they have long been familiar with each other, so there is no need to be polite.
After the politeness, Hu Jinquan got down to business: "Mr. Qiao, I have read the script and communicated with Xu Ke, and there is no problem in other aspects, but the two of us have a lot of differences in the style of shooting........
Speaking of this, Hu Jinquan stopped and glanced at Xu Ke, seeing that Xu Ke had nothing to say, he continued: "Xu Ke wants to make a political fable with a sharp style, amazing vision, and a metaphor for the present, but I think Mr. Cha's smiling and proud rivers and lakes are the most chivalrous, and it is also the most suitable martial arts movie with a romantic and simple style, if this point cannot be solved, I'm afraid I can't participate in the filming of this film."
Hu Jinquan didn't go around in circles at all, and bluntly said the contradiction between himself and Xu Ke.
Qiao Feng also grinned when he heard it, these two really had a conflict, but now there were disagreements and contradictions before the start of filming, and the original time and space were only disagreed and conflicted after the filming began.
In the original time and space, when filming in Xiaoao Jianghu, because it was the first cooperation between Xu Ke, a new generation of martial arts film masters, and Hu Jinquan, an old master of the previous generation who pioneered a new martial arts film style, the Hong Kong media unanimously believed that this was a perfect match, an absolute "film story".
As a result, there was a problem with the shooting, and less than half of the film was shot, but the two were stiff. Speaking of the reason, it is Xu Ke.
Xu Ke's favorite thing is to do the work of a director while holding the title of producer, and interfere with how to direct, and Xu Ke made the same mistake again when he was filming in Xiaoao Jianghu.
Since the guide tube has been handed over to Hu Jinquan, he should listen to his dispatch, fully cooperate, and respect his creative ideas and directorial style, but Xu Ke's capacity as a producer interfered with Hu Jinquan's directorial work, and constantly injected his creativity into the film of "Smiling Proud Jianghu", that old Hu thought it was a normal artistic dispute, and it was a little reasonable, but he didn't take it to heart, but after a long time, he realized that his directorial status was almost empty, and Xu Ke's comprehensive involvement in all aspects of the film made Lao Hu useless.
This Hu Jinquan can't accept it, originally, the old Hu family is an old-timer, you have to have face, let Xu Ke be empty, how can you stand the face, and another, it was Xu Ke's family who invited him, but in the end, he put a big director on the air to the point where he could only be an executive director.
If you Xu Ke directly said that you were looking for someone to be the executive director, then someone would not come, at least they would know it.
As a result, Hu Jinquan, the director, was stunned and didn't even have the right to shoot.Hu Jinquan wanted to compete with Xu Ke, but found that he didn't even have a way at all, and he didn't even have the best farts to say, and no one listened.
Because when filming Xiaoao Jianghu at that time, the main creators of the crew were basically from Xu Ke's studio, but Hu Jinquan was alone.
Now, because it was Qiao Feng who came up with the script, Qiao Feng was also investing, so when Xu Ke talked to Hu Jinquan, the two were completely partners, so they talked more, and exchanged their thoughts well, and did not let the conflict break out after the film started filming.
"Mr. Hu's worries are not unreasonable, Xu Ke also said that your differences, I think your ideas are good. I think so, in the film's art, costume design, set, and lens language, Mr. Hu, you have to worry a lot. After a deep groan, Qiao Feng said a compromise solution.
Seeking common ground while reserving differences, let's discuss and compromise, in terms of lens language, Xu Ke is very good, but I have to say that Hu Jinquan is even better, in the choice of special sets and large vistas, it is really good.
In the original time and space, many of the scenes taken by Hu Jinquan were pushed to reshoot by Xu Ke, but the theme, style and visual modeling of the film were all based on the appearance set by Hu Jinquan before, among which the modeling of Miao characters and the clothing design of the Ming Dynasty were completely retained.
There are also several sets seen in the big vista, all of which are in the style specified by Hu Jinquan, and Xu Ke did not move at all.
This movie, without Hu Jinquan's lens aesthetics, will definitely be greatly overshadowed.
This smiling proud rivers and lakes is based on the martial arts of Jin Yong's original work, adding the story of Hu Jinquan's Dongchang eunuch framing Zhongliang, and at the same time, it also has Xu Ke's sneering political criticism, as well as Chen Xiaodong's dazzling martial arts design scene, which has the classic of the original time and space smiling proud rivers and lakes.
Qiao Feng didn't want his own Xiaoao Jianghu to lose color compared to the original time and space, so he had to make it clear in advance, so that Hu Jinquan and Xu Ke were mentally prepared, and let these two martial arts masters integrate all their talents together, plus Cheng Xiaodong, plus Li Lianjie, a kung fu emperor who is far more handsome and better than Xu Guanjie, to shoot a more classic Xiaoao Jianghu than the original time and space.
After Qiao Feng finished speaking, Hu Jinquan didn't speak, but looked at Xu Ke after thinking about it.Xu Ke is a person from Qiao Feng's company, if Xu may agree with Qiao Feng's suggestion, then Hu Jinquan will have no opinion, but if Xu Ke does not agree, then Hu Jinquan will definitely not participate in this shooting.
Because, in terms of intimacy, Xu Ke's opinion is definitely more important than his own, if he encounters a disagreement, if he can't solve it, it is very likely that he will succumb to Xu Ke's opinion, which Hu Jinquan absolutely does not accept.
"I have no problem, it has always been my wish to cooperate with Mr. Hu." Xu Ke pursed his lips and said.
"Then I wish us a happy cooperation." Hu Jinquan had a smile on his face, stretched out his hand and said.
"I wish you two a great story in the film industry."
