Chapter 6: Director, Why Did You Change Me?(1/5)
A few years ago, there was a horror film director named Mak Junlong who won a lot of exclamations - "Zombie"...
Compare "Zombie", you will find that "Yulan Miracle" and "Tuodi Exorcist" have no well-known actors, no big scenes, and very special effects.
Could it be that Zhang Jiahui's resource mobilization ability is not as good as that of Mak Junlong?
It's really not comparable, Mai Dao is a rich second generation, the son of a famous Hong Kong businessman Mak Shaotang.
has money, feelings, and is willing to smash special effects...
But he is no match for Lu Xiaoran...
The pattern is different, how awesome Lu Xiaoran is.
After "The Martian" took the box office of $120 million in North America, a box office analysis column in the United States analyzed a paragraph after "The Martian" won the average box office championship in North America: Chinese filmmakers thirty years ago, they struggled to enter Hollywood, and now Chinese filmmakers are more willing to make films for Chinese to see, these concepts are changing, and we can also see that the world film center and film industry are shifting to China...
......
"I have always believed that there is no clear difference between Hong Kong films and mainland films, and they have a common historical origin!"
"Hong Kong films, and even Taiwanese films, are just a few tributaries of a vigorous torrent rushing out on the dangerous shoals of history, and when the rapids pass and the rivers are open, the tributaries that were originally separated will naturally converge into a torrent again!"
"When these tributaries parted, some carried the leaves of the woods, some carried the green shoots of the grassland, and some carried the sand of the desert, but when they converged, these things became you have me, I have you, and the river is still the same river, only more magnificent and colorful, more exciting and impactful!"
Zhang Jiahui: "However, there are too many rules in the mainland, and it is censorship at every turn... If you want to enter the mainland market, you have to abide by the rules of the game, I think this is the persecution of art!"
“... Then do you think a book like "New World" is bold enough?"
"Very bold..."
"I can shoot it, and I can release it!"
Zhang Jiahui froze for a moment...
"Who doesn't know that film art is best to let a hundred flowers bloom, but now in terms of ideology, there is still no unification, and... Considering economic factors, there is only a quota of 34 films a year, that's all, and diversity has to be taken care of, horror films can only be regarded as small and medium-cost productions in the global market, and the audience is relatively small. Of course, there are some ghosts, but they still can't be released..."
"The Woman in Black", "A Quiet Place", and "Screen Master Breathe" have actually been released!
Most of the horror films we can see are violence, ghosts, and plasma films, and it is impossible for such films to pass censorship!
As for "XX Horror", "Midnight XXX", "Deserted Village XXX" and the like, they are all filmed by the theater chain, and they are generally only released in this theater, and there is a lot of money...
"The Exorcist of Tuodi" is definitely not a play - the "General Rules of Production" clearly states that "it is not allowed to promote feudal superstitious ideas such as soul possession, reincarnation, and witchcraft practices".
Halfway through the chat, Chen Zhixi came over, his face a little unsightly......
Lu Xiaoran walked over and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?"
"We've been boycotted!"
“... Ahh
"Who made you sarcastic... No, because Zhang Jiahui..."
"Zhang Jiahui?"
Chen Zhixi explained, probably a question of whether it is brilliant or not...
Of course, now the press release is almost deleted...
However, the internet has a memory.
"There must be someone behind the scenes!"
“... Now it's not a question of whether to push or not, what should I do?"
A bunch of things in the past few years, many netizens have frantically boycotted Hong Kong and Taiwan artists, and those with a black history must boycott...
It's just scum, it's not very clean.
Lu Xiaoran sighed, and then smiled: "Fortunately, we haven't started filming yet, if this is finished and boycotted, the loss will be great..."
Chen Zhixi also smiled: "Yes, now that we are boycotted, we can just change people... Do you have a backup?"
“... Lin Feng!"
"Why don't you find mainland actors?"
Lu Xiaoran said directly: "If the male protagonist and the second male lead are both mainland actors, and they are positive, it is not conducive to the harmony between the two sides of the strait and the three places..."
"Lin Feng... It's also a mainland actor?"
"Huh, huh?"
"Why don't you go find Yang Shoucheng?"
“... He definitely recommends King Xie Qi, I don't like King Xie Qi..."
Why don't you like King Xie Qi, just like he doesn't like Liu Kaiwei...
As for the scum slag...
There are some things that directors and producers can call the shots, and actors forget it...
People, there is always a price to pay!
Of course, this kind of thing doesn't need Lu Xiaoran to come forward, Yang Shoucheng can handle it.
......
It's embarrassing, the actor doesn't seem to be easy to choose...
Hong Kong movies are now in decline.
Yang Shoucheng shook his head: "Now, after the boss of the Hong Kong film company gets the director's script, he may not have read it, so he asks, are you looking for Gu Tianlu or Zhang Jiahui for the actor this time?"
"Zhang Jiahui is not good, when choosing actors, sometimes you have to consider not only acting skills, but also other things. ”
The innocence of the actor or something...
Now it's not just the trouble of censorship, but the boycott of netizens will also make a movie encounter a lot of noise before it is released...
Once this noise ferments, a strong countercurrent is formed.
So, it's not that he has to be.
"Forget it, let Gu Tianlu play the male number one, I'll call Duan Yihong and play Li Zhongjiu!"
Scratching his head, Director Lu simply changed his role...
Anyway, the role of Li Zicheng is not much different from Li Zhongzhi in "Greedy Wolf", they are all forbearance...
If Andy Lau or Liang Chaowei were teenagers younger, how could it be so troublesome!
After thinking about it, he added: "Call Lin Feng too..."
"No problem!" Yang Shoucheng hesitated for a moment, and then asked, "Will it have an adverse impact on Zhang Jiahui this time?"
“... It's okay, I haven't announced the lineup yet, but if you invest in movies in the future, you must pay attention, you can't use the consistency of black history!"
Lao Yang nodded...
......
After receiving the news, he was stunned...
Is this being replaced?
Chen Zhixi explained: "Our every move now will be infinitely magnified, and many people in the industry are worried that they can't find an excuse..."
The scum is a little lost, he is just a rumor, and there is no real evidence...
But some well-intentioned people will always analyze some remarks from his remarks.
With a wave of rhythm...
Lao Lu didn't dare to go against the current.
In fact, he filmed "Wushuang" and "New World", and many people have secretly poked and poked to express their dissatisfaction - who is not good, and who is angry Hong Kong and Taiwan artists?
The problem is, whether it is "Wushuang" or "New World", it is not good to happen in the mainland!
