Yu Zhan already knew that Liu Yan was good at dancing, and she was bragging. Because on the day she finished filming the dance scene, she was tired and paralyzed when she went back, and the consequence of doing some movements that her body rarely did was that the next day, her whole body was as if she had been crushed by a heavy object, walking and lifting her legs, reaching for things, and her muscles were all sore. Yu Zhan thought that she had suffered something at the time, and said that he would take her to the hospital to have a look. Liu Yan had to explain to him truthfully, saying that she asked for herself, and she would never boast about Haikou casually in the future, and she would never have a diamond to do porcelain work.

Listening to the meaning of the two Mr. Micro, the role of Yu Ji requires an actress to be able to play the piano, sing and dance, absolutely all-powerful, as for the name of the film, Harvey said, tentatively set as "Song of the Fall". He wants to restore the love story of Xiang Yu and Yu Ji in the movie, this story is almost a household name in China, like Zhaojun's outing, and there are many related film and television dramas, and the same theme is almost broken by the Chinese. But the problem is that this is the United States, and the Americans know Xiang Yu?

Yu Ji is not Mulan!

Mulan is probably the most famous Chinese historical female figure abroad, and the story of her joining the army for her father is a super big IP, which has spread far in the Western world, mainly thanks to the animated image created by Disney in the early United States, which is so popular with Americans that Mulan's name is almost comparable to Snow White.

If you were to conduct an interview on the streets of the United States now about whether you know about Mulan, it is estimated that 90 percent of Americans will be able to talk about it.

If you ask Wang Zhaojun, it is estimated that 30 percent of people can answer two sentences, and they will definitely say, oh, that is the role played by the princess of the Han Palace.

If you ask Yu Ji......

Everyone is probably a black questionmark face.

In this way, Harvey seems to know Chinese culture very well, and he even knows the Chinese poem "Song of the Fall", which is very obscure for Crooked Guoren.

But Yu Zhan felt very strange, because he chatted with Harvey casually for a while, the other party knew very little about China, Harvey had never been to China, except for the capital Magic City and Hong Kong and Macau, he couldn't name other cities. Yu Zhan was sure that he was an authentic white man at heart, even though he had quite black hair.

Maybe Harvey saw the story of the overlord of Western Chu somewhere, and was so touched that he wanted to shoot it. It's strange that Harvey reads the names of Yu Zhan and He Lushen, and his words are vague, while the names of Xiang Yu and Yu Ji, and even the three words "Song of the Fall", the pronunciation is very standard and clear.

And Yu Zhan believes that Yu Ji's story may not be suitable for the mainstream American film market.

"Autumn Moon in the Han Palace" can be loved by North American audiences, in addition to the early YouTube focus on music and art promotion, as well as Liu Yan and Jason's hype scandals and other factors, there is also a deeper factor - Wang Zhaojun and Hua Mulan are somewhat similar, they are not delicate, not weak, one resists the heavy task of saving the whole country by himself, and the other wears men's clothes to practice martial arts, and is born and dies on the battlefield.

And this is also the mainstream concept of equality between men and women in the United States -- it can also represent the general perception of women in Western society: modern women should be self-reliant and self-reliant, and should not be dolls dependent on men.

Searching for foreign film reviews on the Internet about "Autumn Moon in the Han Palace", bravery and perseverance are high-frequency words.

But Yu Ji is different, she is Xiang Yu's concubine, she has always been by his side, it is a vassal relationship, in Yu Zhan's cognition, Yu Ji is a weak woman who needs the protection of a man.

Will American fans buy such a heroine?

Harvey found that Yu Zhan was a very cautious person, he looked gentle and elegant, but in essence, he was not as good as He Lushen could speak, he didn't seem to care at all about whether his "Dream of the Late Ming Dynasty" could be released in the United States, did not ask any questions about this aspect, only asked about the movie "Song of the Fall", as if he was Liu Yan's spokesperson.

The questions he raised about the subject matter of "Song of the Fall" were very sharp, so Harvey didn't know how to answer, especially the reason why he wanted to make this movie, he didn't want to respond positively, his reason was, "I want to shoot it myself, I have enough money to support it, I don't worry about the box office, I don't expect to make money from it, and I don't care about the response of the market." ”

Generally speaking, these are some successful directors who, in the late stages of their careers, let themselves go and make films that only they can understand, in the name of pursuing art.

Harvey has said all this, what else does Yu Zhan want to get to the bottom of it? Loyal to the ear, doesn't Yu Zhan know that his analysis may cause him to be disgusted? He just stood on his own position and kindly reminded the other party.

Whether the movie is a blockbuster has no impact on Yu Zhan and Liu Yan herself, even if it is a bad movie, it is a bad Hollywood movie. As long as she is named Hollywood, Liu Yan's worth will definitely rise in the future, and she can also use this as an introduction to make more Hollywood movies.

Playing Yu Ji, Liu Yan will never suffer.

It's just going to dance again......

Harvey also understands that Yu Zhan is kind, because according to common sense, making movies is to make money, and his expression seems to be running for a loss.

He has a good impression of Yu Zhan, and thinks that he is not a bad person, no wonder Jason Harmer went to China and did so many things that are not in line with his character; no wonder He Lushen is willing to "share blessings and difficulties" with Yu Zhan, and there are really too few businessmen who can stand in the other party's position and think for the other party at the negotiation table.

Harvey discussed this with his cousin Bryan again, Bryan watched the conversation between the two for a long time, he also thought Yu Zhan was a good person, he said to his cousin, "We can try to cooperate with him, whether we make money or not, at least I have a gut feeling that he will not cheat us." ”

Originally, Harvey's idea of introducing "The Dream of the Late Ming Dynasty" was not very strong, and there was no Liu Yan's role in this film! Yu Zhan guessed well, except for the love story of the overlord of Western Chu, Harvey knew nothing about Chinese history, and he was worried that he would impulsively buy the American copyright of "The Dream of the Late Ming Dynasty", and he might lose money in the end. He has only been in charge of Michael Company for less than a year, and his foundation is unstable, "Song of the Fall" is his film project that he insists on, does he still want to take a "Dream of the Late Ming Dynasty"?

And now, Harvey has made up his mind, and he said to Yu Zhan, "Adam told me before that Liu Yan is a student, she has not signed with any acting company, and she has no agent. ”

Yu Zhan nodded, "Yes, she doesn't belong to any company, in fact, I can't help her make a decision." ”

"So about Yu Ji's role, when she recovers from her injury, let's talk to her again," Harvey said, "Today we will only talk about the copyright of 'Dream of the Late Ming Dynasty', what is your expected price?"
