Chapter 203: Heritage
In the midst of doubts from the outside world, five crews have taken root in Huaguo's film and television base, Jidian Film and Television City.
Qin Wanggong filming base.
"All departments stepped up preparations, and Mr. Chen was putting on makeup, and filming officially started an hour later. "The assistant director shouted everywhere and supervised it personally.
In the dressing room, director Zhang Yimao was chatting with Chen Keming, a senior veteran actor in makeup.
"Lao Chen, this time it's really up to you to support you! Wei Xia, this kid is too inauthentic, a series of five dramas was actually split into five companies and five directors, isn't this looking for trouble!" Zhang Yimao said dissatisfiedly.
Chen Keming closed his eyes and let the makeup artist fiddle with it, but his mouth was teasing:
"To be honest, I feel that Wei Xia is doing too well, he should do it! Between you big directors, it's time to compare each other, and distinguish between high and low, hehe!"
Zhang Yimao glanced at Chen Keming with slanted eyes, and said helplessly:
"This kid is so annoying, but this script... It's really hard to refuse!Old Chen, how did you study the script?"
"The script? The lines are fine, but the key is the acting skills! This kid is really torturous! The role of Ying Zheng is difficult!" Chen Keming rarely has little confidence in his acting skills.
The cause of everything is this love-hate script.
One of Hua Guohong's masterpieces, "Historical Records", Wei Xia extracted a separate biography from it-
Assassin Legacy!
There are a total of five assassins, each with their own deeds, each of which is extremely exciting, and can be called the five assassins who changed the direction of the history of China.
Wei Xia adapted the story of these five people into a series of films, handed them over to five companies, and appointed five great directors......
No one has ever done that!
No one has ever done that!
Let five great directors shoot the same type of movies at the same time, let them compete on the same stage, and let them accept the audience's evaluation positively!
Directors instinctively refuse this kind of thing.
But this time it's really different~
The god-level script written by Wei Xia himself made them unable to refuse at all!
The plot is only one aspect, and more importantly, there are detailed notes of Wei Xia in the script.
What props should be used to assist in what places, what kind of effects should be had, how should the actors act in each shot, and what kind of state should they show......
And so on, down to every detail, even the makeup of the actors is explained!
To put it mildly, the filming process of this movie is an invaluable learning opportunity for Zhang Yimao, Chen Keming and the entire crew!
It is only a master who is well versed in all the processes of filmmaking that it is possible to write such a script.
His thoughts are coherent, he can integrate all the details to make a difference, and he can express the effect he wants in the most perfect way.
All those involved in this process will benefit a lot.
That's why Zhang Yimao couldn't refuse.
As for the box office, such a movie is bound to be a hit.
"The Legend of the Assassins: Jing Ke Assassinates Qin", officially launched!
The other four films have also entered the filming one after another.
……
Twin Towers, Socat President's Office.
Su Anxi looked angry, pouting and complaining:
"Sister, can you stop protecting this stinky boy?
Such a good five movies, just don't let me star in them
It's all handed over to outsiders!
Can I not be angry!"
Wei Xia hid behind Mu Qingyu and said curtly:
"Fourth sister, can't you be a good boss? There are so many things in Anli Film and Television, what kind of drama are you filming?
Besides, there is no suitable role for you in the Assassin Series, and if your acting skills are not online, it will definitely make people laugh!"
Li Liyu, who was sitting in the main seat, also had to follow to play a round:
"Su Su, the lines of the five plays were all written by me, to be fair, the assassin column is not suitable for you.
Most of the scenes are for the male lead, and the female protagonist has too few scenes, or there is no female protagonist at all, so don't join in the fun. ”
Mu Qingyu rolled her eyes:
"Okay, don't play tricks! Xiao Xia naturally has a reason for doing this.
Do you still remember when "Wolf Teeth" was just released?
This situation only improved after we acquired Ai's Wanzhong Cinemas, and it was not until the Xiawen Group donated 5 billion that those theater chains did not dare to blatantly boycott.
The film and television industry is like this, many intricate interests and interpersonal relationships are entangled, and eating alone is inseparable.
What Xiao Xia wants to do now is to build the Magic Capital Film Festival into a heavyweight luxury era comparable to the beautiful Leiwu and Okaka, and it is necessary to unite the entire Chinese film and television circle.
On the surface, some benefits are conceded, but in fact there will be more gains, this is the strategy. ”
was scolded three times in a row, Su Anxi flattened his mouth and stopped talking, but his face was still unhappy~
She also knows that she has a lot of things, after all, her identity has changed, from the earliest TV series Xiaohua to the president of a film and television company.
But her favorite acting career has not achieved anything, "just" is just acting in a movie with a box office of more than 20 billion......
Wei Xia saw Su Anxi's thoughts, and couldn't help but comfort:
"Fourth sister, don't worry! If you want to act in the future, there will be many roles!
Now where is this going? At best, it's a warm-up phase. Don't forget, there are a lot of people out there waiting to see my brother's jokes.
How can five movies gag them?"
Hearing this, Su Anxi's eyes suddenly lit up!
"Xiao Xia, don't hide it from your sister, tell me, do you have any big plans?"
Su Anxi's question was also very curious about Li Liyu and Mu Qingyu.
This younger brother is so talented that he has no way of figuring out his ideas and plans.
With a slight groan, Wei Xia smiled playfully, seeing that the three sisters were a little angry, he stopped selling Guanzi, and said confidently:
"My goal is to make the Dragon Award at the Magic City Film Festival surpass the Okaka Academy Award, and good works must be missing!
Fortunately, we live in Huaguo, a country with a long history of 5,000 years.
Countless themes for us to choose from!
If you think about it carefully, the classic movies of Hollywood are actually created in combination with the history of country M, without exception.
Our history is countless times more wonderful than theirs!
There have been glories, there have been sinks, wars, killings, blood and fire;
The reason why Chinese filmmakers can't achieve much in Haoleiwu is also the reason, how can foreigners easily understand the splendid civilization of 5,000 years?
It takes a process.
On the contrary, the Chinese do not need this process!
They may know a little bit about the detailed history, but they know the text
With this kind of cultural heritage, I want to know more.
Costume dramas are all the rage, that's the reason. ”
Su Anxi listened to Wei Xia for a long time, still ignorant, and asked innocently with wide eyes:
"What do you mean? Natsu, what are you talking about?"
With a snort, the eldest sister Mu Qingyu couldn't hold back, laughed directly, and explained:
Natsu meant that he was going to shoot a lot of historical works, like the ones in the Assassin Chronicles.
There are so many colorful things in the history of Huaguo!"
The third sister Li Liyu has the most say in this regard, and she often pays attention to and understands the history, art, and literature at home and abroad.
She very much agrees with Wei Xia's interpretation of the Hollywood movie.
Those movies that can be regarded as classics are undoubtedly inseparable from the process of the times in country M, and let the audience have a sense of substitution and resonance, which is the secret of success.
Country M is just a young country with a history of several hundred years.
What about Huaguo?
5,000 years......
It's so easy to choose materials!
Whether it is ancient or modern times, the singing and crying stories are there, familiar to the public, and the only missing step is to make these stories into movies.
"So, a wave of costume movies is approaching?" Li Liyu joked.
"Too narrow-minded!" Wei Xia pursed his lips and said again:
"Current affairs, hot spots, you can shoot.
Where 1.3 billion people live together, there are few anecdotes and hot topics?
Why is "The King of Medicine" successful? That's one of the points!
Many Chinese-specific phenomena, such as the Spring Festival, will give the audience a sense of identity.
Isn't there anything touching about the world's largest annual population migration? Is it worth filming? Will the audience buy it?
These are the essence of Chinese films!"
The three sisters looked at each other.
After Wei Xia said this, making movies in China seems to have completely become an easy thing to do, and you can make money casually~
……
One of the five parts of the Assassin's biography, "Jing Ke's Assassination of Qin", has officially entered the warm-up stage.
The public's sense of expectation is still relatively high for the works of the famous director Zhang Yimao, but after hearing about this theme, people's enthusiasm has gradually decreased a lot.
Jing Ke stabbed Qin?
Movies, TV series, anime, have almost been filmed and written, and there is no novelty at all.
You can guess the end directly from the beginning, and even spoilers are omitted.
What is the saying?
Watch the Three Kingdoms shed tears and worry about the ancients!
Almost the front and back feet, Chen Yige filmed the second of the five-part series, "Specializing in Thorns", and also started large-scale publicity, and then the other three, all of them were crowded together to do propaganda.
The audience is blinded!
The top directors of the five major Chinese countries, gathered together to make a series of assassins?
A few days later, new news came:
The five-part series of assassins will land in major theaters during Golden Week!
Except for Wei Xia, who is the box office myth, who is the first brother of the director in the Chinese film and television industry?
This topic is more energetic than any publicity, and the discussion about the five movies has almost occupied the top three hot searches, and the popularity has never decreased.
Who can shoot the same subject matter better?
The legend of the assassin was not broadcast, and the enthusiasm for watching the movie continued to rise.
