Although Zhang Li is now praised as one of the top five directors, the box office champion of Chinese films, the new godfather of commercial films, and the second director with a total box office of 1 billion.

But there is a fatal shortcoming in him, and that is that he does not have a single heavyweight award.

Although many people are saying that as long as the box office is high, the awards are all floating clouds, just like old truck drivers.

Eh, do you have any misunderstanding about old truck drivers?

It's true that the box office is high, and it's not wrong to be a commercial film director. But people also have a bunch of awards on their bodies, the Oscars of the Bald Eagle, the Golden Globes, and Saturn will all win them. There may be a gap in terms of awards compared to Spielberg, but they have also won awards seriously.

The current Zhang Li, Lao Mouzi, Chen Wouji, and Jiang Wen are completely incomparable in terms of awards. Even if it is a slightly worse Feng Cannon, he has won numerous awards. Compared with these people, Zhang Li is really a little bit unsightly except for the box office.

Zhang Li's lack of recognition for these heavyweight awards is partly due to his own disdain for some bullshit things, and on the other hand, his film is a bit too successful in terms of commercialism, and if he were to let his film win an award, those judges would probably feel like they were bowing their heads in a commercial film.

Some people even think that he has won both the box office and awards, what qualifications does he have?

Zhang Li's movie "Jingwu Hero" originally had the best chance of winning the award, but unfortunately it encountered a shady scene at the Golden Horse Awards.

Zhang Li wants to say, you guys are a fart!

There are many such examples, such as Xing Ye, Xing Ye can be said to be the recognized king of comedy, the so-called one actor a year, and a star in a hundred years.

Xing Ye's acting skills can be said to be recognized, and they have always been a favorable guarantee for the box office. When other HK stars withered and movies failed miserably, only Xing Ye still maintained a consistent level.

If you say that he has no acting skills, it is as ridiculous as saying that Lao Mouzi doesn't know how to make movies.

It's a pity that Xing Ye has never been treated well by the Academy Awards. In the 90s, when HK Golden Movie was in the 90s, he could be said to be in full swing at that time, but this was the case, and the Academy Awards just couldn't look down on him many times.

When filming "Ouchi Secret Agent Zero Hair", he was sarcastic fiercely.

After the new millennium, HK movies fell into a big landslide, and this time is embarrassing. is not half of the level of that year at all, but Xing Ye still made a record-breaking movie "Shaolin Football", which can be regarded as a shot in the arm for HK movies.

This time, even if you want to ignore the star, there is no way, because there is no movie compared to the star.

Zhang Li thinks that he is not as talented as Xingye, and now he can only slowly accumulate the box office, allowing himself to make a series of classic movies and win high box office.

After becoming a representative of Chinese cinema in a few years, you can make a few movies that have both fame and fortune and win a film award, such as movies such as "I Am Not the God of Medicine" and "Outwitting Tiger Mountain".

On March 15, the crew of the "Green Snake" movie, Zhang Li has been in the crew for two days.

Most of the scenes of the "Green Snake" crew will be filmed in Hengdian, but some of the scenery will be filmed in places such as West Lake and Zhouzhuang.

Hengdian in March was a little warmer, wearing long sleeves and looking at the sun in the sky, he felt that he should prepare a few clothes.

The crew of "Green Snake", a big hotel near Hengdian Film and Television City, was directly packaged, anyway, there are a lot of crew members, so it can be directly packaged, and it can also prevent some candid paparazzi from entering.

This time in the crew, Zhang Li didn't want to be alone like before, and this time he also brought an assistant named Xu Qing.

Well, Xu Qing is Xu Han's relative, Xu Han is mainly responsible for some things in Zhang Li's studio, and there are still fewer things by Zhang Li's side, so Xu Qing is arranged to be by Zhang Li's side.

In other words, the entertainment industry seems to like to use their relatives and friends as their assistants or agents, but it seems that except for people like Li Bingbing and Zhang Ziyi, most people have begun to let their relatives and friends serve as agents, and they have all changed after rapid development.

Xu Qing graduated from Modu University of Finance and Economics, and he relies on the media to understand things in the entertainment industry, and he is very excited to serve as Zhang Li's assistant this time, that is Zhang Li, maybe Lao Mouzi and Jiang Wen are more powerful as directors and are more welcome in the eyes of older people. However, younger people like Zhang Li very much, and his movies are always liked by young people.

When he first served as Zhang Li's assistant, Xu Qing saw a lot of lives that could only be seen on media and television, which were all kinds of pulling people to sign autographs and take group photos.

Zhang Li knew that this little girl was also unfamiliar with the entertainment industry when she first entered the entertainment industry, and she would see more in the future. After all, you are liking other people's stars, if you enter the entertainment industry, you will not be interested in seeing them every day.

"Director, did you go out yesterday?"

"Yes, I saw Yang Qing go yesterday, he was filming "Death is Coming 2" nearby, I'll go over and take a look. ”

"Are there still Tang Yan and Tong Liya?" Xu Qing frowned when he said these two names.

"How do you know, yesterday I remembered that I asked you to go to Urshan to prepare for the shooting?"

Zhang Li looked at Xu Qing suspiciously, how could Xu Qing know so much.

"Hehe, it's all spread on the Internet. ”

Seeing that his boss was still confused, Xu Qing clicked on the mobile phone and handed it to Zhang Li, and sure enough, it said, 'Tang Yan, Tong Liya, and Zhang Li had a tryst, and the three stayed in the hotel overnight. ’

"Damn, is it so exciting? This screenshot is enough to be admired!"

Seeing this report, Zhang Li couldn't help but burst out, this has a picture and the truth is clear, otherwise he would probably believe it if he knew what happened yesterday.

Well, this dog is professional enough.

The gossip and privacy of the celebrity is the task of the dog, and only if you are strong enough can you get the money. For example, the first paparazzi is in the best position.

"What's going on online right now?"

Returning the phone to Xu Qing, he asked directly.

"Fortunately, most people don't believe it, but some people are still coaxing. ”

Xu Qing thought about it and made a summary. Zhang Li's character is still passable, and he only photographed the scene of a few people eating, and the rest is based on guesswork.

"You post a Weibo to clarify, just say that last night I was discussing the plot with the director of "Death is Coming 2" Yang Qing and actor Tang Yan Tong Liya, and left at nine o'clock in the evening. There is video surveillance as proof, and let everyone pay attention to the movies "Green Snake" and "Death is Coming 2". ”

"Okay, director, can I ask you a question?" Xu Qing suddenly behaved very awkwardly.

Zhang Li has already seen too much of this expression, and he must want to ask gossip again.

"Say it. ”

"Is Tang Yan really being wrapped up in Chengtian, is the big guy behind it Wu Kebo?"

"If the quilt will really become popular now, will "Red Cliff" not have her share?"

"That's... Did Tang Yan really have plastic surgery?"

“...... Didn't we meet you last time? You can't tell the difference?"

"Green Snake" is a mythological film, or a women's movie.

Whether it is the original "The Legend of the White Snake" or a women's movie, the element of love is indispensable in it.

In "The Legend of the White Snake", the relationship between Xu Xian and Bai Suzhen has always been helpless, because Xu Xian gives people the feeling that they are not worthy of Bai Suzhen.

Maybe a woman who knows what men like, maybe a man understands men better. So in "Green Snake", both Bai Suzhen and Xiaoqing are so sultry, while Xu Xian is a "cheap man" or a scumbag.

In the world of "Green Snake", the whole world is obviously immersed in various desires. At the beginning of the movie, Fahai looked at everyone on a good surface, and Xu Xian was addicted to Bai Suzhen and Xiaoqing and enjoyed it very much, Bai Suzhen wanted to try love, Xiaoqing wanted to follow her sister and become a person, Fahai was suspicious of everything he saw, and suppressed his own nature.

And the scene between Xiaoqing and Fahai in the movie is very interesting.

Because there is also a little story in the "Lengyan Sutra": There was a woman who fell in love with Ananda and tried to tempt Ananda, and was lured by the Buddha to join the practice and gradually become enlightened. But the irony is that at the beginning of the "Lengyan Sutra", the Buddha has been enlightening Ananda, but in the end Ananda did not become enlightened, but the woman who was halfway enlightened by the Buddha achieved the positive result.

This story is very similar to this play.

Fahey's ruthlessness became a symbol of sexual perversion. On the one hand, he vowed to kill the green snake in order to hide his desires, and on the other hand, he did not allow others to enjoy the human sex/love that he could not enjoy, so he insisted that Xu Xian become a monk and break up the mandarin ducks. Sexual repression caused him to be almost perverted and cold, and this coldness was justified under the guise of abstinence from Buddhism. Fahai, the green snake, represents a strange balance of human nature. One has desires but does not want to have them and tries to hide them, while the other has no desires but desperately pursues and desires to have. Just like adults and children. Fahai represents adult desires, repressed, and guilty. The green snake is like a child, who does not understand the adult world, but is eager to enter and possess adult qualities. Fahai Green Snake and White Snake, none of them are real people, and only the White Snake among them faces up to people's desires and understands that sexual desire is people's original desires, so White Snake is more like a real person, with human feelings, and finally cultivated to adulthood at the end of the play and gave birth to human children. Fahai and Green Snake, who can't face human nature, have each caused tragedy.

And the name of the movie is "Green Snake", probably from Xiaoqing's perspective to tell this story, and the song "Mohu Luojia" in the movie means the snake god in Tianlong Babu, which sounded when Xiaoqing danced, which also illustrates this.

................

The news of Zhang Li's filming of "Green Snake" has been circulating very early, and the casting has been going on for a long time, and insiders are very optimistic about whether it is a film company or an actor, and they want to participate in the investment.

But many media and some directors have gone against the grain, saying that this movie is going to hit the streets.

In other words, the movies that these people don't like are all popular, but the ones who are optimistic are all on the street, what a poisonous milk!

Although there is no Xu Laowei filming "Green Snake" in this world, and Li Bihua writing "Green Snake", "Green Snake" was originally adapted from "The Legend of the White Snake".

"The Legend of the White Snake" has been passed down for a long time as one of the four major folk love stories of the flower planters.

Many people may not know what celebrities are, but I think many people still know this story.

And it has been adapted into film and television dramas many times, and the closest TV series is the CCTV version of Pan Yueming and Liu Tao's "The Legend of the White Snake", which is the movie made by Shaw Brothers twenty or thirty years ago, as well as the movie made by Neon. However, these movies are too far away from us, and the most classic is Zhao Yaqi's "The Legend of the New White Lady".

Now Zhang Li wants to tell such a movie from Xiaoqing's perspective, and it is said that it is good to change the magic, eh, which makes some people unacceptable.

But fortunately, although some people are not optimistic, this does not prevent actors from wanting to enter the crew and film and television companies from wanting to invest.

After all, Zhang Li has so many achievements in front of him, and few people dare to jump out of BB, if he is really slapped in the face, it will be embarrassing.

Although Zhang Li himself has said that this movie is a new attempt, he doesn't care about the results or anything.

Well, that's a nice thing to say. But which time is Zhang Li's movie the same, and which time is not a new theme, these people are not optimistic about this kind of thing, and they are not happy about that, but they will not speak out openly.

Zhang Li didn't think he had anything to say about this casting.

After all, his attitude towards movies is not to make money or cheat people, he really wants to make movies.

So no matter which movie the casting aspect is very serious, well, "Super Body" can't be used that time, and Lucy's character is cool to the end.

At the beginning of Fahai's role, Zhang Li had considered whether to use Zhao Wenzhuo. After all, it was originally very good, but when I thought of the future, I dispelled my thoughts and let Nie Yuan take the role.

Zhao Wenzhuo really got off to a good start when he was young, even in these years. However, he does have a big problem, and the old monster Xu who is popular with him is unwilling to deal with him, and the means of making money are also low-level, especially when "Special Identity" makes such a big fuss this time, he is also afraid.

If Zhao Wenzhuo is really chosen, if there is any conflict or other contradictions between himself and him, what should he do when he markets himself and complains on TV and various platforms everywhere.

This time, the most important ones are Li Bingbing and Wan Qian, and these two people can even feel a kind of affection in the movie.

To be honest, Xiaoqing feels more like she likes Bai Suzhen in the movie, and she just wants Bai Suzhen to notice herself.

This kind of feeling is difficult to deduce without deep acting skills, even if the acting skills of the two are not bad, Zhang Li is still not at ease.

So when they signed the contract, it was already said that in the crew, the two of them stayed together to find that feeling, even if it was a room, the two lived together.

As for the soundtrack, of course, Zhang Li has wrapped up the whole process. After all, he is also a musical talent, and if there are no soundtracks and songs in this movie, then this movie can be said to be a lot of discoloration, if this movie is compared to a hundred points, the soundtrack in it will account for thirty or even forty points, and no one knows the soundtrack of "Green Snake" better than him.

In fact, Xu Laowei can be filming "Green Snake 2", although the soul of this movie has stopped, and this movie was also a failure back then.

But if Xu Laowei uses the ideas of the time and the current technology to remake or make a sequel, it will definitely become a classic, which is much better than the current "Di Renjie" series, and the later parts of this movie are really unbearable.

Xu Laowei has nothing to say about choosing actresses and training actresses, even Yang Tianbao's appearance in his movies is so amazing, if he really reproduces the feelings of the young and white snakes, he is simply tired of death.

"The Legend of the White Snake" released some time ago still has a certain impact on Zhang Li's movie, after all, the front foot just had a bad movie White Snake, and another director came behind to shoot White Snake, which is a bit intriguing.

Really, although this movie is in order to support his own woman, it also spent a lot of investment, after all, he found Li Lianjie, the kung fu emperor, to play Fahai.

However, Fahai in this movie is a little similar to Fahai in "Green Snake", that is, they are all seduced.

If it weren't for Li Lianjie being affected by this movie, he would have considered looking for Li Lianjie to play the role of Fahai.

Zhang Li thought about this movie and decided that the release time was intended to be released in July, and if this movie was made in a hurry, it could be released in May.

Well, but the release of "Death is Coming 2" has been arranged in May, and "The Avengers" will be released at this time. Marvel's movies that have been laid out for so many years are finally about to unfold now, there is no need to fight bayonets in such a hurry, the movies in July will probably be able to play "The Four Famous Catches" and "Painted Skin 2" and "Ice Age 4".

He is not worried about "The Four Famous Catches", the investor of "Painted Skin 2" has changed the director, but now Wuershan has not made this movie at all, and he doesn't know if he can still have the original results. The only opponent is probably "Ice Age 4".
