Chapter 853: Fast and Refreshing
In the world of independent filmmaking, Lionsgate has always been big and seems to have a lot of money.
For example, in 2003, it acquired Yijiang Entertainment, which is said to have cost more than $2 billion. Where did it come from? One is financing, and the other is loans.
If you choose financing, it means selling equity, which will increase instability. And the cactus is in a very good financial situation, Xu Fei allows them to take out appropriate loans, plus part of the surplus of the work, to buy the copyright of some second- and third-tier heroes.
Iron Man, Hawkeye, Black Widow, Deadpool Balabala...... It doesn't need much, it's enough to buy one a year, or even two years.
In September, when the 911 incident was boiling, Xu Fei ran to Xiangshan again.
Zhang Guoshi fulfilled his promise and asked him to watch the baked horse.
............
Elephant Mountain, early in the morning.
Mr. Tony got up early to get ready for the day's work.
As early as the 80s, when the self-employed were just starting up, his mother opened the town's first private barber shop, and the craftsmanship is exquisite, and the fame is not small, and now it has been passed down to the second generation.
That is, Mr. Tony.
When he came to the store, the worker waited for a long time, and said worriedly: "Brother, are you really going?"
"How can you not go when the money is collected?"
"But I haven't done this before?"
"I haven't done anything before, but people give too much!"
Prepare tools and materials while talking, ride a motorcycle, and come to the film and television city.
As usual, demons and monsters are rampant, and from time to time a Hu Jing, Chen Hao or Zeng Li floats past......
Go inside, go up the steps, there is the palace of the king of Qin on the high ground, and there is a large square in front of the palace. When they arrived, good fellows, it was lively.
"Hiss~"
"Huh~"
There were a hundred miscellaneous horses tied to the square, and there were special people with them, and some cardboard shells and cardboard were laid underneath to avoid staining the ground.
The whole group came to see the excitement.
Li Lianlian, Chen Zhiming held his sleeves, Zhang Guoshi squatted, standing next to a handsome person, and he had the right to look at the diorama.
"It's all here, I'll talk about it briefly. ”
The producer called over a dozen barbers and said, "Everyone's task is to bake the horses in oil, and bake them into black, the kind of shiny black and shiny oil."
There are about ten horses per person, and today is not enough for tomorrow, and we will provide food, and we can't treat them badly anyway. ”
Immediately divide the labor.
Mr. Tony is the most famous, and his peers look at him with a blank look, hoping to give him a sample.
He had the courage to go over, and the first horse he got was pretty, fat and long-legged, and covered in brown hair.
The long hair on the horse's neck is called the mane, but there is actually a short hair on the body, which is very hard and slippery.
“......”
The little worker looked at it for a long time and asked, "How do you get it?"
"As usual, you make hair dye. ”
Teacher Tony commanded, lightly trying to touch the horse: "Brother, cooperate with ......"
"Shhh
The horse slammed, and people were frightened far away.
The man watching the horse laughed: "It's okay, it doesn't kick people." ”
What a liar!
Mr. Tony was scared, so he made a real example: hunched over, stretched out, kept a certain distance as much as possible, and ran as long as there was the slightest movement.
Xu Fei watched the excitement on the side, chatting with Zhang Guoshi and others.
Naturally, the conversation is still about 911 and pulling lights, which are global hot spots - after more than ten years of heat, they can still be forwarded by the king of understanding.
Before Chen Kaige filmed "Jing Ke Assassinated the King of Qin", Xiangshan built the Qin Palace, and now he is filming "Hero", because he wants to go to the extreme and still be black, so the Qin Palace is painted black.
Chen Zhiming's plays are all here.
In fact, Zhang Guoshi has a lot of thoughts about "Hero", in addition to the aforementioned "Congratulations to the king for escaping again", there is also a deleted ending:
After Nameless was shot to death, three new graves stood on the Gobi Desert, where Nameless, Remnant Sword and Flying Snow were buried.
The old servant and Ruyue knelt in front of the grave, sprinkled wine to pay tribute, and the old servant said: "There has always been a saying in China that those who are confidants die. It is enough to have one confidant in life, and if you have three confidants, you will win the world. ”
Ruyue said: "Then the three of them are the world." ”
The old servant said, "Yes, the three of them are the world." ”
Zhang Guoshi thought it was great, but the publisher Miramax said it was too complicated for foreigners to understand, so it was cut out. Now, Xu Fei doesn't interfere much with him, because he decided to make two versions: the Chinese-speaking version and the Western special version.
The only thing that interferes is the lines, don't be as bloody as the original, such as:
"Does the king know that the remnant sword Feixue is a couple?"
"Because the flying snow and the sky once had a one-night love, the remnant sword lingered. ”
Even if you say a couple, it's better than a couple!
There is also "one-night stand", Xu Fei remembers that "Hero" was released that year, and this word was sprayed wildly.
Even if you write: Feixue once had an affair with the sky, had an old love, and had a night of joy...... It's better than this kind of "adding a word to the modern language and pretending to be an ancient text".
"The director, the ministers' group performance has arrived. ”
There was still baking horses, chatting and chatting, and the assistant director came to ask for instructions.
Zhang Guoshi got up and turned to another area, and there were 100 people in front of him, wearing black court clothes and a black crown. The age is not young, and the middle-aged and elderly people perform in groups.
“......”
He looked at it carefully, his expression was not very satisfied, and asked an old man, "What do you do?"
"I grow an orchard, I like acting, and I come and go around when I'm free. My house is to the north......" the old man spoke in a dialect.
Zhang Guoshi was speechless, and called the assistant director to the side: "No." ”
"Which one doesn't work?"
"No. These are the humerus ministers of the Qin State, they are called heroes, at least they have to be a bit of a cultured person, right? Look at what you are looking for, it is like digging food in the ground. ”
"Director, most of the current group performances are young. If you look for the age, they are all locals, and they have nothing to do to have fun. Besides, it's too difficult to talk about more than a hundred old cultural people, why don't you pick again?"
"You're in charge of the group performance, you tell me it's difficult, and I can still meet your standards?"
Zhang Guoshi was under a lot of pressure to make blockbusters and was a little angry.
Xu Fei also frowned, thinking that when the world was first established, there were two plays a year, all of them with all their hearts, what is so much nonsense?
"You're not going to be there tomorrow. ”
"Mr. Xu!"
"If you find it difficult, use your brain, don't think about throwing off the burden, otherwise what are you looking for?"
Teacher Xu called one casually and said, "Go contact the county, find their retired old cadres, and bring me a hundred." ”
"Understand, don't worry, I'll do it!"
The other party went from being stunned to being overjoyed, and hurriedly went to do the task.
......
The county was very cooperative, and the next day a hundred veteran cadres came.
This time, I put on my court clothes again and poked at that, eh, it looks like it.
Another day passed, and the horse was baked.
filmed a scene first, that is, at the beginning of the film, a team of black cavalry poured into the palace of King Qin with no name and met King Qin.
Do the extreme, the visual effect is really good, like a dark cloud surging over......
Mr. Xu stayed for a while, mainly to make the process smoother and save some money by the way.
For example, Nameless had a conversation with King Qin, and when he walked out of the hall, a group of ministers ran out and asked in unison: "King, kill or not?"
Originally, no, Zhang Guoshi only used one minister, because the hall felt good when it was empty. When I watched the sample film, I felt that there was no atmosphere.
So I got Chen Zhiming back and re-filmed.
A group of people shouted: "King, kill or not?"
"King, kill!"
The atmosphere came up all at once.
This is the reason why the directors feel that Mr. Xu has a BUFF, with him, the filming is simply fast and cool!
