Chapter 482
"You must know that at the beginning, Director Ouyang couldn't even dig up your Bole, but Director Ouyang couldn't let you transfer it, and he lost your last net worth. Do you think that Lin Xiao's directing ability should surpass Director Ouyang?"
This in itself is a trap question, and no matter how Liang Shaoqing answers, it will offend people.
However, Liang Shaoqing is not a newcomer, and he faced similar doubts and difficulties at the beginning.
Liang Shaoqing said with a smile: "There are many factors in the success or failure of a movie, Director Ouyang's directing ability is naturally undoubted, but sometimes, the script is also a very critical factor, my biggest shortcoming is that I can't see the script, but this, Lin Xiao just complements me, his vision and ability in this regard, I believe there is no doubt, right?"
"The box office of the three movies exceeded 6 billion, I think looking at the entire film industry, no one dares to say that he has a better vision, right?"
"As for the directing ability, I believe that since he dares to take over the director's tube, then it is definitely not a whim, so what reason do I have not to believe him?"
"But don't you think it's too risky?"
When I met him for the first time, he gave me a song, which contained a song, if the heart is there, the dream is there, and there is a lyric, look at success or failure, life is heroic, but start all over again. So, I have nothing to lose, so why not give it a go?"
"Actually, I don't understand why so many people watch this movie, I can't guarantee it in other aspects, but in terms of acting, I believe that I can still play this role well, and in terms of script, Lin Xiao's screenwriting work, I don't think anyone is qualified to question it, right? ”
"But you haven't proven yourself at the box office yet, and Lin Xiao has also not proven yourself in directing ability......"
"This media friend, are you new to journalism? Who hasn't been the first time? hasn't proven yourself to be the reason for questioning? If that's the case, then I have nothing to say. ”
And Lin Xiao's side was also not let go.
"Lin Xiao, the first time you directed a film was a big production with an investment of more than 100 million, and one of the leading actors is Liang Shaoqing, who has not acted for many years, many people think you are too confident, what do you think?"
"Yes, this is my first time directing a film, but I have already made micro-films before, although this does not mean anything, but even if I lack directing experience, but I will give this film two experienced assistant directors, and the script is written by me myself, I think I have the most say in the plot, right? As for Liang Shaoqing, he has not acted for many years, but I think that this is not a bad thing, but a good thing, because he will appear in the movie with a new attitude and appear in front of everyone. ”
"As for acting, I think an actor is still an actor even if he hasn't acted for many years. ”
"So do you have any goals for the box office of this film?"
"Set a small goal for yourself first, after all, this is my first film directed, 1 billion!"
"Shhh
"1 billion......"
"Can you tell us a little bit about this movie?"
"To put it simply, the film tells the story of a policeman and a thief in 72 hours!"
"Is it a Infernal Affairs-like movie?"
""Dark War" and "Infernal Affairs" are completely two types of stories, this time, a soldier is a soldier, and a thief is a thief!"
......
1 billion box office, in fact, in Lin Xiao's opinion, he is already very conservative.
But when his words came out, countless people ridiculed them.
"Lin Xiao threatened to direct his first film with a goal of 1 billion!
"Lin Xiao directed and acted in "Dark War" with a box office of 1 billion, is it another miracle, or is it a failure? Let's wait and see. ”
"Out-of-fashion actor + rookie director = 1 billion?"
Anyway, you don't have to pay taxes to brag, of course Lin Xiao doesn't think he's bragging, he even thinks that the goal of 1 billion is set low, but he didn't expect that he was questioned like this just by shouting 1 billion.
However, the outside world has disturbed Lin Xiao and has no heart to pay attention, to tell the truth, "Dark War" is not easy to film, don't watch this film, there is actually no big scene, and in terms of connotation, the depth is far less than "Infernal Affairs", but "Dark War" is a very special film.
The evaluation of this film in the system is only 2 stars for art, but the commercial star rating is as high as 5 stars.
It can be said that this is a commercial film through and through.
But for Lin Xiao, who is directing for the first time, it is still not so easy.
Although Lin Xiao found two assistant directors, one is Chen He, and the other is a senior assistant director Han Dong.
Speaking of Han Dong, many people in the outside world may not know him, but in the circle, Han Dong is quite famous, because he has served as an assistant director for many big directors, and he is definitely rich enough in this regard.
It stands to reason that people like Han Dong, who have been assistant directors to many big directors, already have the capital to direct independently, but sometimes people are so strange.
Han Dong also tried once before to direct a small-budget film independently, but the result was ...... But it's a three-day tour of the theater.
Since then, Han Dong has dismissed the idea of directing independently, according to his own words, that is, people are valued in contentment.
Don't look at Han Dong as an assistant director, but in fact, his salary is not low at all.
Because he is very experienced, he can manage the complicated things on the set in an orderly manner.
However, although Han Dong helped co-ordinate, as a director, Lin Xiao was still very busy.
Where is the time to pay attention to the disturbances of the outside world, and no matter how you say it now, the people who should question it will still question it, anyway, no matter how famous or notorious, at least "Dark War" is very famous.
If the whole film of "Infernal Affairs" whips people's hearts from the depths of their hearts, full of depression, helplessness and despair, then "Dark War" is a very warm police film.
In fact, there is a very interesting and crucial proposition in "Dark War", that is, "What should a person do before he dies?"
In Lin Xiao's view, "Dark War" is a movie in which a person is about to die, and before he dies, he must prepare a perfect death ritual for himself.
The male protagonist has only 4 weeks to live, and his "72-hour game" is completed before he dies. This is a commemoration of life, not only avenging my father, but also donating to cancer children, and encountering an unexpected relationship. This is the "art" of a "perfect" death.
