Chapter Ninety-One Rejected
Chapter Ninety-One Rejected
Da Lao Wang and Li Xiaoping are also old rivers and lakes, and they have been working hard in the entertainment industry for many years. What kind of people have they never seen, Jiang Wen, Feng Dacang, these talented and strange tempered people have seen it, Zhen Zidan has also seen it, and the king of sunglasses has also seen a guy who makes investors frightened.
But with so many people, I have never seen such a bold person as Zhang Li.
Now because of the Golden Horse Awards, whether it is the media or netizens, the discussion between the two sides of the strait is a bit high, and the remarks in Zhang Licai's interview are even more fueling.
Looking at the name and content introduction of the new movie script, the two felt that Zhang Li was playing with fire, and it was the kind that played a lot, and they had never seen such a bold person.
"No, Zhang Li, did you get the wrong script. Li Xiaoping tried to calm herself down, convincing herself in her heart that she just got the wrong script.
"yes, let's get the new movie script out. The eldest king also said quickly.
looked at the two very calmly, and said words without a trace of emotion. "This is the new script. ”
"No, Zhang Li, although I didn't ask you to explain it now, I hope you don't mess around anymore, this has the rhythm of destroying cross-strait relations. ”
"Yes, there are so many movies that can be made, why do you have to make this kind of movie? If you want to make it, you can make any other movie, whether it's a literary film or a special effects blockbuster, we support it, but forget about this movie. ”
Da Lao Wang and Li Xiaoping were really frightened by Zhang Li's movie, and the two of them persuaded bitterly, hoping that Zhang Li would give up filming this script.
"It's just a movie, is it so exaggerated?"
"Absolutely!"
Da Lao Wang looked at the name of the script "Black Gold", this script is definitely a large-scale movie!
This movie is about the darkness of WW, and the things in it can be found as prototypes.
Now the relationship between WW and the mainland is still okay, and Xiao Ma Ge is not the former Ah Bian nor the future Xiao Cai. Brother Xiaoma's proposition is to continue "92", regardless of the rest of Brother Xiaoma, it is already very good that people support 92. No matter how people say it, they are also WW leaders, and they must have their own plans, but if they can continue to continue "92", it is better than Ah Bian and Xiao Cai.
Now the two sides are in a very good relationship, although there are things on the Internet because of the recent events, but it still can't affect the general situation, so there is no need to worry.
But if Zhang Li made this movie "Black Gold" now, then things would be different.
Zhang Li is no longer an ordinary person, he is a celebrity, and a very famous person.
When you are an ordinary person, you can say something, but after you become famous, you have to go through your brain.
The movie "Black Gold" can be said to be a metaphor or a very powerful mapping, even ordinary fans can see the situation inside.
If Zhang Li shoots it, even if it affects the relationship between the two parties, it will definitely not be allowed.
"Do you know what the impact of this movie will be after it is made? Even if you hand it over, it is unlikely that you will agree, and it will even make you settle down!"
"That's right, the content of this movie is already a bit of a banned film. You won't want to come to Jiang Wen's example!" Li Xiaoping was also frightened.
Jiang Wen was "banned" because "The Devil is Coming" participated in Cannes and won the award, and he was not allowed to make movies for five years.
Zhang Li's film will definitely not be like this, but it will definitely be difficult.
Originally, Zhang Li's script was written, and he planned to find the third master as a producer. Then it's time for the casting to start.
This time, Zhang Li originally planned to shoot even if the movie was not favored, and he was ready to hit the street at the box office and word of mouth.
As a result, Da Lao Wang and Li Xiaoping vetoed it when he didn't hand the script up, which hit his mood too much.
How to say it, the special effects of big scenes and cow breaks are not what Zhang Li likes. What he likes is the core, it's the story. For example, it is true that special effects blockbusters such as "Transformers", "Star Wars", "Pirates of the Caribbean", "Avatar" are good-looking, and it is also true to make money, but he prefers to make movies such as "I Am Not the God of Medicine", "Green Snake", "Once Upon a Time", "Dark Flower" and so on.
How to say it, it's not that he doesn't like movies with big costs and big investments, if he wants, he can also make a movie "Iron Man", but I'm afraid that Marvel won't give the copyright. Don't give him a preference for telling stories in movies
Zhang Li is a little depressed now, because he doesn't know what to do after the movie he finally wanted to make was rejected. Although I have a family, I have a little less to talk to my parents when I get older, I don't have love, and I don't like multi-person sports, so I feel very empty and lonely after this work stops.
In his office, Zhang Li brought Xu Han over and planned to talk to him.
Speaking by his own boss, Xu Han could only put down the work in his hand and come to the office. At first, I thought I had some work for me to do, but it turned out to be just chatting, which made Xu Han speechless.
"You say, why is this movie good, they still vetoed it. The movie Zhang Li said was "Black Gold", Xu Han had read the script and asked him for his opinion, but Xu Han asked him to give up at that time.
"You know in your own heart, don't keep asking me, and you don't have nothing to do. You are a little drifting now, and you feel that you have become a box office record so you want to learn from Jiang Wen and Lao Mouzi, but you also have to have someone yourself. You are still accumulating on the road of commercial films, and you are not comfortable making this movie at this juncture. Xu Han said.
Zhang Li thought about it and felt that what Xu Han said had some truth, but it was not all right. I want to learn from Lao Mouzi and Jiang Wen a little, but it's still not okay if it's floating, others don't know that he knows, and it will soon be the era of 1 billion box office.
The reason why he wants to make it is still a little angry that he can't win the Golden Horse Awards, and he also likes this movie very much. However, Xu Han is right about one thing, that is, I am uncomfortable with filming now, and this movie is estimated to have a chance to see the light of day again when it is replaced by Xiao Cai.
"Hey, okay, let's keep this movie script for the time being," Zhang Li sighed.
Outsiders always think that Zhang Li is a commercial film director and looks down on awards. But Xu Han knows that he actually likes awards very much, but he is not the kind of person who gives up everything for the awards, the box office is the first in his heart, and the second is the award. After all, if you can win the box office and win the award, everyone likes it.
"You're going to die of this heart. Looking at Zhang Li, who was still not giving up, Xu Han struck.
"Can you contact Pan Yueming to see if he has a schedule after the New Year, and have Lu Yang, Yang Qing, Wu Ershan, Guo Fan, and Xue Xiaolu signed a contract?" Zhang Li asked casually.
"Pan Yueming, let me ask, as for Lu Yang, the others have already signed a contract. But can these people really be?" Xu Han still expressed doubts about these four people.
Lu Yang and the others were all directors who Zhang Li asked to sign a contract, and Zhang Li's studio only served him alone before. However, as it gets bigger and bigger, Zhang Li's filming speed is getting faster and faster.
But there are some scripts that Zhang Li has no interest in filming, but he can make money without it, so he has to let people shoot them, rather than finding outsiders, it is better to sign a contract with the director himself and let them shoot.
Lu Yang and a few people are Zhang Li's signing targets, and Zhang Li knows what will happen to them in the future. It can't be said that they are the hottest directors, but they are also the ones who make money.
Now Ning Hao has joined Pony Pictures, Xu Zheng has already done it alone, and Wu Jing is still an actor. The rest of the directors either have their own companies, or they are from HK and WW.
Some of the people Zhang Li signed a contract have begun to emerge like Wu Ershan and Yang Qing, and some are still dormant like Guo Fan and Lu Yang. But no matter what, these people are talents.
No matter how the film and television industry changes, this director will remain the same. In the future, the cost of creating stars is getting lower and lower, and the speed of replacing the old and the new is getting faster and faster. If you don't have your own masterpieces and acting skills, it's easy to be forgotten.
But directing is different, and the profession of directing will never go out of style. How old is Lao Mouzi, and he will not continue to make movies in 2020. Feng Dacang has also been making movies for decades, and the director has a longer career than a star.
Zhang Li said slowly: "Since this script can't be filmed, then I naturally have to change it." I'm going to remake "The Legend of the White Snake", but it's definitely going to be adapted. Pan Yueming's Xu Xian acted well, and I plan to let him enter my movie to continue to play Xu Xian. ”
Xu Han thought about it, as long as Zhang Li didn't shoot this script, it would be fine to shoot anything. As for loss, the word has not yet appeared here in Zhang Li. As for whether Pan Yueming is suitable or not, he doesn't care about this, he hasn't even read the script now, how to say it.
In addition, Pan Yueming is a real actor with online acting skills and appearance. When I watched "Jinghua Yanyun" back then, I was simply a little white face, the love of Fang in "The Love History of the Tang Dynasty", and the characters in TV series such as Xu Xian in "The Legend of the White Snake" are simply the pinnacle of appearance. Later, in "Detective Chinatown", he played a perverted adoptive father, and he couldn't believe that he was a person, it was like a face-changing performance.
Xu Xian in "Green Snake" is played by Wu Xingguo, and there is no problem with his acting skills, but his appearance is a little worse than that of other leading actors. By the way, he also played the gambling idiot Qiu Xiaozhi in the "God of Gamblers" series.
