"Director Mo Ning, obviously did not turn back from the documentary mode, commercial films, the most important thing is to please the audience, then obviously we need to determine the position for the audience first, who is decent, who is the protagonist, who is the villain BOSS, and then, after going through the ordeal, defeat the opponent, so that the audience will have a refreshing feeling. ”

"A film, if it doesn't have a position, then it's a documentary, not a commercial film. Xu Xiaodong said.

Lin Xiao nodded noncommittally.

For Xu Xiaodong, Lin Xiao still has more respect, it can be said that this first "Heroes of the Three Kingdoms" cannot be lost for the whole plan, only success and failure are allowed.

It is impossible for Lin Xiao to focus all his energy on this, so Xu Xiaodong, the executive producer, is very important.

For Xu Xiaodong, this is also an opportunity for him to prove himself, if "Heroes of the Three Kingdoms" fails, then for him, the consequences will be more serious, because here is trying to implement the producer-centric system, that is to say, success or failure depends on him.

If the door is not popular, then the follow-up film will definitely have nothing to do with him.

The second director that Lin Xiao and Xu Xiaodong interviewed, or the second director candidate they met, was director Li Ke.

Compared with Mo Ninglai, Li Ke's fame is obviously much greater.

Although the films he made have been complained about by the audience in recent years, he is still the best director of costume historical blockbusters in Huaguo.

Although director Li Ke lacks the ability to tell stories, Li Ke is definitely a master in terms of the control of large scenes and the processing of pictures.

This is also why, although he knew that Li Ke would probably not accept the final editing rights, Lin Xiao still listed him as one of the candidates.

Because if Li Ke can agree, then it will be the best choice, because although Li Ke is not good at telling stories, then let people who can tell stories tell it, the script Lin Xiao has almost done, of course, it is not Lin Xiao's credit alone, but the integration of many screenwriters' efforts.

"Mr. Lin's generosity, 20 billion, 25 movies, amazing. Li Ke sighed with a smile.

"I've studied the script and I'm very interested, but if I had to direct it, I have a few requests that I hope you will agree to. Li Ke changed his words and directly began to make requests.

He did have this qualification, but Lin Xiao still sighed slightly in his heart.

However, on the surface, Lin Xiao still said with a smile: "Director Li, please speak." ”

"First of all, when I make movies, I don't like to have too many other voices, because when making movies, I am most afraid of outsiders directing insiders. ”

"Secondly, in terms of the starring role of the film, I don't expect to have the right to decide, but I need to have a veto!"

"Finally, I need to make changes to the script and hopefully get full authorization!"

Li Ke 123 said his request.

Lin Xiao and Xu Xiaodong glanced at each other, and both shook their heads secretly, it seems that Li Ke can basically pass it.

Yes, you are a big director, but you haven't been able to prove your ability for a long time, a blockbuster like "Three Kingdoms" with an investment of hundreds of millions, you want absolute autonomy as soon as you come up, and the veto of the starring actor is even more excessive.

It doesn't seem like the right to decide, but in reality, what's the difference? It's just another way of putting it.

Lin Xiao had heard that Li Ke was notoriously strong, and Lin Xiao felt that it was a bit exaggerated before, but the fact was that Li Ke was not only strong, but also a little too strong.

"Then Director Li, about the third point, script revision, can you tell us what you think?" Lin Xiao still wanted to give the other party a face.

"First of all, I think that if the first film takes Liu Guanzhang as the protagonist, then it is not much different from other movies, I want to use Lu Bu and Lu Fengxian as the first protagonist, because this character has a very complex background and experience, plus he is brave in the world, it is very dramatic and conflicting......"

Lin Xiao looked at Li Ke talking eloquently, but he felt like he had beeped a dog in his heart, Nima, no wonder you have been hitting the street for the past few years, specially, according to Li Ke.

"Heroes of the Three Kingdoms" will directly become "Lu Bu of the Three Kingdoms".

According to Li Ke's idea, he will use heavy pen and ink to focus on Lu Bu's mental journey, and so on.

Even Li Ke wanted to scandalize Liu Guanzhang and the others...... In order to achieve the purpose of highlighting Lu Bu. Then talking about this film, he wants to express a sense of helplessness in a historical environment or something.

This Nima, there is no need to talk about it at all.

"I'm sorry, Director Li, it seems that we can't cooperate this time. Lin Xiao directly interrupted Li Ke's eloquent talk.

"Forehead......" Li Ke's brows suddenly furrowed.

"I forgot, you are also a director and the author of the original book, but you should know that to put it mildly, there are not many directors in the entire country of China who can shoot that kind of big scene with thousands of troops. Li Ke said lightly.

The meaning is obvious, that is, the meaning of who else is self.

It's just that apparently he overlooked one point, that is, although there are not many, there are still ones, and others are not as difficult as him.

Another Li Ke is a bit old and old, and his works have not been successful commercially for a long time.

If it weren't for the fact that the other party was a senior, Lin Xiao would have waved his sleeves away a long time ago.

It's really this Li Ke, who thinks too highly of himself.

He doesn't want to think about it, although he has made a lot of movies in the past few years, how many of them can be regarded as big productions?

The film company is not stupid and quick to make money, once or twice, it's okay to say, and he has failed again and again, which has proved that his set will not work, but it is ridiculous that he himself still thinks that his movies are more profound than before.

"I'm sorry, Director Li, we can't agree to any of the three conditions you proposed, so I can only say sorry for delaying your time. Lin Xiao stood up after speaking.

Li Ke's old face has become a little difficult to look at.

It's just that he was about to have a seizure, but Lin Xiao took a deep look, and the words were immediately blocked in his throat.

At this moment, he suddenly realized that the young man in front of him was not a small person, not a person who could be pressed by his own generation, Lin Xiao was not only a director, but also the helmsman of a company with a market value of more than 100 billion.

......

After leaving, Xu Xiaodong couldn't help but sigh: "Even in Hollywood, those big directors who have proven themselves are not as ...... as this Director Li" He didn't know how to describe it.

Hollywood also has very strong directors, but those directors are not as strong as Li Ke when facing investors, and those strong directors are strong because of their control over the crew and the filming of the movie.

is not like Li Ke, who has many requirements, and looks like others can't shoot without me.

It is hard for Xu Xiaodong to imagine that an "outdated" director who has not had a big hit for several years can still have such confidence.
