Chapter 565: Notoriously Evil
He Bing was admitted to Renyi after graduation, and has been running tricks, occasionally picking up film and television dramas, and playing Zhuge Ke in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms".
Li Qi is forty years old this year, born in Shaanxi, and began to drift north in 91, living in a basement with his family for six years.
Xu Fei found the actor in the guest house and concentrated on strengthening it. Han Sanping came to see it, first of all, Li Qi's image was very suitable, and then listen to He Bing's lines:
"Back to the lord and wife, the rent of Zhang's tenant family is still collected!"
"That can't be done, you have to do it according to the contract! The landlord's ↗↘ family has no surplus grain!
"Liangzi, since Mr. Zhang is here, let's let our mules, horses, and all those big animals rest together!"
Get!
Han Sanping was relieved.
Mr. Xu used a little free time to instill the comedy concept of "Party A and Party B" with the actors, and picked up the script sentence by sentence. said that half a month is half a month, and when the time comes, pat your ass and leave.
Leave the big steel to scold.
He's not taking Joe either, it's really something.
............
On March 3, the Third Session of the Eighth National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) was held and lasted until the 14th.
Today's participants are people from the arts and art circles, and the theme of the discussion is the gift of Hong Kong's return to the motherland. It was Xie Jin's turn to speak, and the 72-year-old man was sonorous and powerful, and the audience was shocked:
"My title is 'The Huge Art Project to Welcome Hong Kong's Return to the Motherland.'"
Recently, the introduction of films has gained a lot of momentum, allowing the audience to see American blockbusters and at the same time laugh at Chinese-style blockbusters. Say that you will only shoot the main theme, and you will only give gifts......
I would like to say that foreign countries are also the main theme, and foreign countries also have gifts. To commemorate the 50th anniversary of the victory in World War II, what did they film? Schindler's List, Normandy, etc.
Last year, I watched "Schindler's List" in Hong Kong and said that if I had tens of millions of dollars in my pocket, I would try hard, and it would not be impossible to shoot it.
As a result, when it came to the newspaper, it turned sour, saying that I wanted to shoot "Nanjing Massacre" and shoot Schindler's level, and many Japanese reporters came to interview me.
Although there are jokes, I don't tell jokes, why do we have such movies abroad and we don't?
Take Hong Kong's return to the motherland as an example, the blood of a swarm of bees is thicker than water, it's okay, but why not expand it?
Tell that history, talk about the two countries, talk about wars, talk about reparations, and then cut Hong Kong Island!"
Xie Jin said that he was excited, slapped the table, and finally spit out a sentence: "I want to shoot "Opium War", and I have to make people remember how Hong Kong was cut!"
Buzz!
stirred up a thousand waves, regardless of the discipline of the meeting, they were all talking.
After an easy break, Xie Jin continued to elaborate his thoughts, and finally said:
"In two years, Hong Kong will return to the motherland. At such a major historical moment, if Chinese filmmakers can't come up with a film that reproduces that period of history, we will be ashamed of history. ”
"Whoa!"
The applause continued, it didn't matter what others said, and a Humen cigarette sale had begun.
......
If someone else takes the lead, the response will not be so big, even if it is Zhang Guoshi and Chen Dadao. Xie Jin is very special in China, his political influence is very good, and he can talk and laugh with the elderly.
After the meeting, the sky was filled with:
"Xie Jin is preparing to shoot "Opium War"!"
"Xie Jin reproduces history as a gift for Hong Kong's return!"
"A great art project like never before!"
And he's a man of action, and he comes when he says it.
That night, in a hotel, Cheng Zhigu said with a distressed face: "It's so difficult for me to retire, I retired last year, and I have to work for you this year." ”
"Don't talk nonsense, can you help?"
"Help, help. ”
The two of them were old friends when they were in the magic capital, and Cheng Zhigu couldn't help but nod his head and asked, "Is there a script?"
"I'm looking for someone to write it. ”
"How much money do you have in reserve?"
"It's worth more than 10 million dollars. ”
"Ahem!"
Cheng Zhigu coughed and said firmly: "You can't raise so much money, and even if you do, you will definitely lose money." According to the current rules, you need at least 300 million box office. ”
"I'm going to find money from the people, and my house is ready to be mortgaged, as for the box office...... This kind of film is meaning in itself. ”
"You can only find private capital, where does the public get the money for you to shoot? I'll help you run away." ”
Cheng Zhi Gu is tired, the Opium War!
It's not just a battle that is over, you have to explain it clearly.
After completing the Industrial Revolution, Britain needed a huge market to receive goods, so it turned to China. As a result, China had a trade surplus and earned a lot of silver.
Britain began to smuggle opium, and "the smoke of crows flowed with poison, which was a disaster unseen in China for 3,000 years."
Following Lin Zexu Humen to sell cigarettes and expel the British, how Queen Victoria reacted, how Congress reacted, until the two countries went to war, went through several stages.
In the end, the Qing army was defeated, and the Treaty of Nanjing was signed, which ceded Hong Kong Island.
What a lot of history! Condensed into a movie, everyone will be worried. Needless to say, what about the scene, what about the warship, what about the foreigners, what about the queen?
Do you still have to go to the UK to shoot?
Xie Jin was bold enough to dare to pick this matter.
The two were discussing when they heard the "jingle bell" phone ringing, saying that someone was coming to visit. He thought it was a reporter, but when he heard it, he looked puzzled.
After a while, there was a knock on the door, and a person came in.
"Yo, Cheng Lao is also here, what a coincidence!"
"Xiao Xu?"
Cheng Zhigu was surprised: "Why are you here?"
"I have something to do with Director Xie...... You sit down, you don't have to entertain me. ”
Teacher Xu casually dragged a chair and went straight to the point: "That's the case, I heard that you are planning to shoot "Opium War", do you need some old street scenes?"
"Definitely need. ”
"That's right, I built a film and television base in Ningbo, built a Guangzhou street, and prepared to shoot modern dramas. You're in progress somewhat, why don't you take a look if you have time?"
Well?
Xie Jin was stunned for a moment, my special mother hasn't dozed off yet, and the pillow was sent first?
The other party said: "Is there still a port and a fort drama on the sea over there? Hong Kong, you can't shoot or not, the sea is full of small islands." Can you shoot a naval battle? That place is very big......
Anyway, let's put it this way, you ask for it, and I will build it. ”
............
"Didi!"
Several cars came from the direction of the town, drove into the Datang Port Tourism Ecological Zone, and stopped in front of the small building, and as soon as the door opened, it was Xu Fei, Xie Jin and others.
He was accompanied by city leaders and Liu Luoguo's director Zhang Zien.
After a few months, the film and television city is the same day by day. There is another small building on the side of the road, and it is listed as "Xiangshan Film and Television City Service Company." ”
"What is this for?" Xie Jin asked.
"The crew who come here to film needs costumes, makeup, Taoism, group performances, martial arts actors, etc., and the company does everything. ”
"It's all done? ”
"I recruited a lot of young people majoring in art and costumes, and I cooperated with local factories, so I dare not say that I can catch up with the masters and meet the general crew. ”
Cheng Zhigu was very interested and asked: "Wouldn't it be convenient to film in the future?" ”
That's what it means. ”
“......”
Xie Jin was noncommittal, walked around the small building and walked inside, the front was open, and he saw a large circle of walls covering the river, and the mouth of the river was the entrance, entering from both sides, and the plaque said "Jiangnan Water Town".
"Who designed it?"
"Mr. Yang Zhanjia. ”
"Hmm. ”
Xie Jin gave a thumbs up, and soon saw the construction site again.
The main body is a Guangzhou street covering an area of more than 300 acres, a section of paved road, and some buildings have risen from the ground. There is also a stream of water, crisscrossing into Sanmen Bay.
It is bordered horizontally and vertically, and there is another sub-building, Hong Kong Street, which has not been repaired much.
“......”
Director Xie was silent, and suddenly looked at Cheng Zhigu.
Cheng Zhigu was not surprised, he told you earlier, Xiao Xu is notoriously evil, notoriously accurate, and notoriously fast.
Oh, it's too fast!
