Chapter 503: The Yellow Turban of the Three Kingdoms
readx;?β Feng Hongqi?"
Hu Wenhai gave the old squad leader a hug with some surprise, which felt very good!
Well, everyone is about to graduate from college, but I didn't expect the old squad leader to develop so well in front of his 'chest'!
"Ahem, don't call me Feng Hongqi, please call me Zhixia. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ο½iqugeγ ο½ο½fo.:γ β
"Zhixia?" Hu Wenhai had a black question mark on his face.
"Stage name. "Comrade Zhixia's face is full of 'color'.
"You don't have to call your stage name that way in life, right?" Hu Wenhai was embarrassed.
"This can't work, if I don't develop a habit in my life, what if the movie 'fans' see me and shout my stage name in the future, and I can't react?"
What Zhixia said was so reasonable, Hu Wenhai couldn't refute it......
"Uh, okay, Orika. β
Hu Wenhai 'touched' and 'touched' his nose, which can be regarded as recognizing the eighteenth change of his 'female' from the old squad leader - even the name has changed.
When I was in high school, although Zhixia was also a beauty embryo, it hadn't opened up yet. But Zhixia, who is now in her third year, completely radiates her brilliance, and the whole person is beautiful as if she came down from the calendar.
But the name Zhixia is really good, and it is very commensurate with the temperament of the old squad leader, so I don't know if someone else gave her the idea, or if she took the idea herself.
Hu Wenhai and Zhixia haven't seen each other for a long time, the two chatted a few words, and then he asked curiously: "It's been a long time since you saw each other, why did you suddenly think of coming to me?"
Zhixia wrinkled her nose and pouted: "It's not that I want to come to you, there is still a big mess of things on the crew." However, Director Wang said that the movie is almost done, and you should be allowed to see the semi-finished product and give some opinions. β
"Movie, what kind of movieβoh!" Hu Wenhai suddenly realized: "It's the Romance of the Three Kingdoms!"
It's no wonder that Hu Wenhai didn't think about it at first, according to his conception, how could this movie not be completed until the end of this year or next year.
After all, Wang Fulin is a TV drama director, and it always takes some familiar time to make a movie for the first time, right?
didn't expect him to complete the shooting so quickly, which made Hu Wenhai's judgment a little biased.
"No, our crew has been filming for more than a year, and we finally just filmed the part of the Yellow Turban Uprising. β
Zhixia said proudly 'straightened' her 'chest' and hummed: "The film is one hundred and twenty minutes long, Director Wang said that it is a pity to put it on TV, it is better to release it as a movie in the cinema first." β
Hu Wenhai clapped his hands and said with a smile: "This is a good thing, I'm afraid that such a series will not be filmed in twenty or thirty years, right? β
Speaking of which, this was originally the plan he and Wang Fulin had set at the beginning. It's just that I didn't expect the first part to be filmed so quickly, and the first part of the series is always the most difficult, because everything has to be started from scratch.
Preparations such as props and sets, as well as the construction of the Three Kingdoms Film and Television City, are even more difficult. Being able to complete the first part in more than a year is already very impressive.
Hu Wenhai will not doubt Director Wang Fulin's ability. Since he said that the filming is almost finished, the finished film will definitely not be a fool's thing, it must satisfy him.
Thinking of this, Hu Wenhai couldn't help but feel warm, and suddenly couldn't sit still anymore.
"Hey, let's go, take me to see how Director Wang's Romance of the Three Kingdoms is going!"
The material for the first movie of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms has actually been filmed, and now it is entering the stage of post-production.
Editing, dubbing and soundtracks, special effects and subtitling are all part of post-production.
Hu Wenhai was taken by Zhixia and rushed to the Imperial Capital Film Factory in a light car. Wang Fulin is a TV drama director, and it is the first time to make a movie, so he has to borrow some equipment and talent from the Imperial Capital Film Factory.
Not to mention, the Imperial Capital Film Factory is worthy of being a place where cultural people gather. The bricks and tiles, trees and trees of the old North Film Studio are quite culturally arranged. The moon 'gate', the big locust tree, and the quiet courtyard whispered to the people, and it is rare to have a harmonious taste.
Zhixia creaked open a wooden courtyard 'door', and this is the venue of the Beijing Film Studio borrowed by the Romance of the Three Kingdoms crew.
As soon as I entered the courtyard, I heard the voices of people in the room talking.
"I said Lao Wang, you're too uninteresting! Our Beijing Film Studio didn't treat you badly, did we?
There was a heartache in his voice, as if the other party had made such a serious mistake: "I just borrowed your shooting equipment for one use, and used it for another." Everyone is their own person, why are you picking on the 'door' like this?"
Wang Fulin's voice came out of the room, and his hoarse voice felt a little tired: "It's not that I don't borrow it, it's just that I can't be the master of this set of equipment." I can only use the crew's equipment and can't lend it to others. If it's my Wang Fulin's own, you can use it however you want! Besides, it's useless for you to borrow this set of equipment, the films are all imported, and if you don't have film, what will you shoot with?"
"This, hehe, you also borrowed the film, can you get it?"
"The film was bought in foreign exchange, and I can't bear it myself, can you pay it back after you borrow it?"
"I'll give you back ten pieces of one piece! Ten of our own films. β
"Phew!"
Hu Wenhai and Zhixia stood in the courtyard, a little helpless and a little funny, but it was not good to go in directly at this time.
had to stand in the courtyard, and Hu Wenhai shouted loudly: "Director Wang, I'm Hu Wenhai!
Before Hu Wenhai's words fell, the 'door' in the courtyard was hurriedly pushed open from the inside. Wang Fulin, who had grown a beard, greeted him with excitement on his face.
"Oh, it's Mr. Hu here. Please come in, please come in!"
"Zhixia, help me pour a cup of tea for Mr. Hu, use the tea can in my cabinet!"
"Oh......"
The young 'female' Zhixia felt a little surprised that Wang Fulin attached so much importance to Hu Wenhai, who was the same age as herself, and was just a "little soldier" under her squad leader.
However, in the crew, she has long developed the biggest habit of the world and the director, so she had to pour tea sullenly at the moment.
"Mr. Hu, Mr. Hu Wenhai?"
Before Wang Fulin pulled Hu Wenhai into the house, another person ran out inside, looked Hu Wenhai up and down and asked, "You are the investor of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, right?"
"You'reβ"
The man who ran out had gray hair, but his voice was full of energy. The pace is vigorous and can be called old and strong, and the temperament of moving forward bravely made Hu Wenhai involuntarily take a step back.
"Hello Wang Dahai. β
Wang Fulin hurriedly introduced beside him: "Director Wang is the director of the Imperial Capital Film Studio. β
"Hello, Director Wang. Hu Wenhai was held by Wang Dahai's hand, and he fully felt the strength of this old man.
Speaking of filming, it's really not good to shoot a movie without a little strength in your hands, and a camera weighing dozens of pounds has to be played with ease, which is similar to the chef's kung fu of practicing spoon reversal.
Wang Dahai didn't care about Wang Fulin's introduction, he simply looked at Hu Wenhai directly, and asked, "You are an investor in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, right? The equipment of the crew is all imported by you from the United States? Can you lend us the equipment to Beijing Film Studio for a period of time, and we will pay!"
"I don't know how long the Beijing Film Studio will borrow, what are you going to do?" Hu Wenhai asked curiously.
"Do you know that your equipment is now the best equipment in China?" Wang Dahai's voice was heartbroken: "Such a good equipment, now put it in the warehouse and idle, you are a crime!"
"Huh?" Hu Wenhai was dumbfounded.
Wang Dahai waved his hand and patiently explained to Hu Wenhai: "We at Beijing Film Studio hope to use your equipment to shoot an experimental film and explore the changes in art forms under the lens of these new equipment." Film art and technology have always been inseparable, from silent to sound, from black and white to color 'color', technological progress has repeatedly made art have a new form of expression, and we hope to have a basic understanding of foreign new technologies. β
"Oh, that's it. Hu Wenhai nodded: "Director Wang, you see that I came to watch the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, do you want to wait until this matter is over?"
Wang Dahai took a deep breath, as if he wanted to suppress his anger, and nodded reluctantly.
After pacifying Wang Dahai, Hu Wenhai smoothly walked into the room where Wang Fulin worked.
Wang Fulin's office is not much different from the living room of ordinary people, and it can only be said that the conditions are better than those in ordinary people's homes.
Three sofas are arranged in the room, a video player and a large-screen color TV, and the rest of the decoration is very limited.
Zhixia reluctantly brought a cup of tea to Hu Wenhai, Wang Fulin, and Wang Dahai, three people and three sofas, Hu Wenhai and Wang Fulin chatted a little about the topic of the movie, and then a picture popped up on TV.
The Han family was shaky, the little emperor in the court looked blank, and the ministers attacked each other. The camera starts from a corner of the Han Dynasty palace and follows the footsteps of a little eunuch, gradually transitioning to the main hall. The panic and sorrow of the end of the dynasty are vividly conveyed by the lens language.
At this point, the camera suddenly zooms in. The imperial palace, which controls the empire and represents infinite majesty, shrinks sharply under the camera, and the last palatial palace complex appears under the camera.
This kind of top-down shot is difficult to achieve for Chinese films in the past, unless a miniature landscape is made with a sand table. But unlike the sand table, which is easy to spot as fake, the scene here is clearly real β from a bird's-eye view, the palace is still full of people, giving people an illusory sense of control over the Han Dynasty's imperial power center in the palm of your hand.
Without a helicopter, you wouldn't have been able to shoot something like this. And helicopters, such expensive props, are certainly not available to today's Chinese filmmakers.
"Hey, this shot is really 'great'!" Hu Wenhai nodded excitedly, this shot is not much different from the opening scene of the Romance of the Old Three Kingdoms in the original history, but the picture is several orders of magnitude stronger.
The reason is actually simple, because the equipment for shooting is better.
Clearer picture, more realistic 'color' color restoration, higher frame rate and more delicate performance, the visual experience is completely different.
This is also the reason why Wang Dahai wanted to borrow this set of equipment after watching the sample film of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. If you don't '' it yourself, you can't appreciate the impact of this expressive gap on the emotional transmission of the film.
When Zhang Jiao ascended to the altar to worship the heavens and announced that "Huang Tian is dead, the sky should stand!", the extras shouted with a sense of religious ritual, and raised the weapons of the five 'flowers' and eight 'gates' in their hands angrily, and this feeling reached the extreme.
Even Hu Wenhai, who is accustomed to watching blockbuster movies in later generations, can't help but feel deeply shocked by this war movie with ancient Chinese themes.
Wang Fulin is worthy of Wang Fulin!
