Chapter 341: There are many chivalrous guests in the rivers and lakes, and I am only a benefactor
PS: Ask for a recommendation ticket, ask for a monthly pass!
The fragrance of tea is overflowing.
Specks of sunlight poured into the room, the water vapor on the stove was thick, and the bamboo chairs were arranged in two rows, and several people leaned comfortably on the bamboo chairs.
Wu Xiaozu took a sip of tea, and looked at the cordial and peaceful director in front of him.
"Although "Smiling Proud Jianghu" does not have a clear history, it actually has a clear history. The whole play reflects the juggling politics of the rivers and lakes.
Mr. Jin Yong told us with a pen that no matter how high the martial arts are, they are no higher than the power and calculation, and no matter how far the rivers and lakes are, they are far from the high walls of the temple. Hu Jinquan said with a smile.
"Director Hu and I are both ready to put "Smiling Proud Jianghu" in the history of the Ming Dynasty, which can extend more changes. Xu Yu explained to Wu Xiaozu.
"Temples, rivers and lakes are one. Wu Xiaozu nodded.
"In terms of Ming history, I touched on it slightly. β
Hu Jinquan learned that Suo Suo took out a stack of densely written papyrus paper from the kraft paper bag and distributed it to a few people, "These are some of my years of research on the history of the Ming Dynasty. Since it has been decided to place the story in the torrent of Ming history, we must also respect historical facts.
The costumes, customs, weapons, etiquette, court disputes, and political struggles of the Ming Dynasty were all interrelated. If you want to really shoot a quiet and far-reaching and happy grudge, you must first ensure excellence in details. β
Speaking of this, Director Hu's words were very sincere, and he shook his head with regret and sighed, "At the beginning, the manpower and funds for filming "Dragon Gate Inn" were not allowed, and many things were not satisfactory and could not be perfected. Now that I think about it, I feel ashamed of the audience......"
"Director Hu must not say this, "Dragon Gate Inn" is already a classic of Chinese martial arts films. β
Wu Xiaozu hurriedly spoke: "You have not only come up with a Chinese-language movie genre for us, the juniors. And the language of the film has also been broadened. "Dragon Gate Inn" is my favorite martial arts movie.
"That's right, at the beginning of that year, I saw the movies "The Drunken Man", "Dragon Gate Inn", and "The Chivalrous Girl", which was really amazing. Xu Yu also said with a smile, and Cheng Xiaodong next to him also looked like a little fan brother.
Xu Yi is very fond of Hu Jinquan.
Otherwise, he would not have been invited to go out of the mountain and direct such a martial arts movie.
Hu Jinquan's majestic Hu-style style has fascinated many martial arts fans. Hu Jinquan can be said to be a mountain that cannot be avoided in later martial arts movies.
All martial arts movies have his shadow to a greater or lesser extent. Until a writer in later generations appeared in the exaltation of hard-core martial arts, regardless of whether he founded a sect or not. But neither of them actually knows martial arts...... That's true.
Wu Xiaozu also likes martial arts movies.
The drama "Smiling Proud Jianghu" is a mature IP, and after Hu Jinquan's hands, it will definitely become a classic.
Wu Xiaozu has no doubt about this.
but
Are classics worth the money?
Hu Jinquan, Xu Yu, and Wu Xiaozu sat on three bamboo chairs, which happened to form a triangle crookedly. Cheng Xiaodong sat next to Xu Yi, and Shi Nansheng went in and out without too much interference.
Although Xu Yi was able to get acquainted with Hu Jinquan, he actually benefited from Shi Nansheng's contributions. But at this moment, only Xu Yu is shown, and he will never steal the show. Pulled Wang Zuyuan to the living room to chat.
The outside world rumors that she is a shrewd and capable strong woman, but she knows how to hide more. It really shows off the inside and hides the outside.
Are you saying this woman is smart?
"This drama is not easy to film, if you follow Director Hu's narration, if there are no twenty or thirty million, it really can't be done. Wu Xiaozu gently blew the tea and smiled.
"That's why I'm looking for youβthose who can do it hard. Xu Yu smiled and took out the cigar box to disperse the cigars to a few people.
"Capable people?" Wu Xiaozu turned the cigar and put it on the tip of his nose to sniff gently, noncommittal.
"A long time ago, I had a long talk with Jin Yong and wanted to shoot "Smiling Proud Jianghu". He also allowed me to start filming his work. It's a pity that the investment in this drama is huge, and no one is willing to invest in me. β
Hu Jinquan suddenly came to Wu Xiaozu with a lighter in his hand, smiled, looked at each other, and laughed at himself: "This time Xu Yu told me to shoot this drama, and I didn't shirk it anymore because I was itchy in my heart." During this time, Xu Yi and I talked a lot about "Smiling Proud Jianghu", and he told me that if you want to make this movie, you must find Director Wu to help attract investment......"
Hu Jinquan looked directly at Wu Xiaozu with clear eyes, the great director had sincere eyes, pleading faces, and reached out to help Wu Xiaozu light a cigar.
This made Wu Xiaozu startled, and hurriedly went to get the lighter, but he didn't expect Hu Jinquan to stubbornly have to light a cigarette for Wu Xiaozu, "It's okay, I lit a cigarette for Li Hei for I don't know how many years." I'll give you a shout-out. Azu, I really want to make this movie, can you help?"
"Uncle Hu, you have tormented me!"
Wu Xiaozu had no choice but to ask Hu Jinquan to light a cigar for himself, and said with a smile: "Xu Yu invited me over, and I have actually decided to help." "Smiling Proud Jianghu" itself is also a theme that I like very much. I'm definitely going to do everything I can to help it work. β
Pursing his lips, Wu Xiaozu looked at the gloating Xu Yi, and said helplessly: "Is there a detailed shooting plan and storyboard script? I personally went to the investor to negotiate the investment." β
Speaking of this, Director Wu gritted his teeth, with a solemn expression, and said righteously: "If we want to develop Chinese films, we need to work together." Looking at Hu Jinquan sincerely, "Uncle Hu, don't worry." In public or private, I have no reason to excuse this matter. β
Hu Jinquan was pleased.
"Butβ"
Wu Xiaozu wanted to speak and stopped.
"Halfway through the speech, it's not your character, right?" asked Xu Yu.
"I have no basis for this matter, I'm afraid it's not easy for the filmmaker to win the trust......" Wu Xiaozu looked embarrassed, "unless ......"
"Unless you're involved in this play?" Xu Yu sipped his cigar, staring at Wu Xiaozu with flickering eyes, and his eyes flashed with mustard.
"Involved in the film?"
Wu Xiaozu was completely distressed and resolutely refused, "This will definitely not work." It's not that I don't want to, it's just that I really don't have time. My new drama has just been filmed, and it will be in the final production soon. Then the next play is also in preparation...... Where to have free time to participate in another play. You also know that I'm used to concentrating, and my mind can only be on one play...... I didn't even bother to participate. β
βοΌοΌοΌοΌβ
Xu Yu looked at Wu Xiaozu who refused to be straightforward, and couldn't help but feel a secret blame, he was worried just now that Wu Xiaozu wanted to meddle in this movie! This drama is the most important project of his film studio this year and even next year, even if it is because of investment, he doesn't want Wu Xiaozu to get involved in it, if that's really the case, he might as well go to the door in person to find investment.
But now it seems that Director Wu doesn't have such thoughts at all, but his own thoughts are filthy, and the heart of a villain is in the belly of a gentleman.
Looking at Xu Yu, whose complexion changed, Wu Xiaozu smiled.
He is not interested in filmmaking in this "Smiling Proud Jianghu".
He didn't have the idea of wiping Xu Yu's ass. Just as when he was unstable, he was reluctant to interfere in Qiu Litao's new play.
Two people with different styles and different pursuits for movies got together, either breaking up unhappily or turning their backs on their backs.
Hu Jinquan is a master filmmaker, but he is definitely not a good commercial director.
Even if he had an annual box office hit like "Dragon Gate Inn" back then, it still can't hide the fact that his movies are loss-making and making money. In recent years, martial arts films have been sluggish, and if martial arts films want to turn over, a great artistic director like Hu Jinquan is actually not useful.
In contrast, Xu Yu obviously understands the market better.
Xu Yi is a director who can weigh the pros and cons between his own film style and the market, and then can bow his head and compromise.
Can......
Wu Xiaozu looked at the elegant and introverted but resolute director Hu Jinquan, a director worthy of admiration, but definitely not the best collaborator for him at this stage.
In this play, the contradiction between Xu Yu and Hu Jinquan was actually obvious at the very beginning. This can't be adjusted to the problem of movie cognition.
What he really cares about is the big IP of "Smiling Proud Jianghu" and Hu Jinquan's "Dragon Gate Inn", as well as his martial arts movie skills.
Hu Jinquan and Xu Yi are talking about chivalry, and what Wu Xiaozu wants to do is to pluck the overlord female ticket...... Passer.
"Why don't you hang a ......," Xu Yu opened his mouth.
Wu Xiaozu's reputation is not below him now, and he is even famous abroad. He can't give Wu Xiaozu the title of assistant director, right? Even if the director of this play is Hu Jinquan.
The producer can't do it either! Too much power! This play is the main new play that the film studio has created with all his heart. Wu Xiaozu hung up the producer, what are you talking like?
"I'm not bad at filming and lighting, so it's better to be like this. Shall I be an art advisor?"
Wu Xiaozu prompted casually, and then hurriedly pretended to emphasize again, "Let's say it first, I don't necessarily have time to be in the crew." β
Art Consultant is an amazing position. At first glance, he has no fame or fortune, but sometimes, he can meddle in everything. Wu Xiaozu also wants to prevent Hu Jinquan and Xu Yifei from parting ways, and when the time comes, ...... I may be the benefactor who invited in to judge.
"Good!"
Xu Yu and Hu Jinquan all nodded in agreement.
"Then it's decided!"
Xu Yu was afraid that Wu Xiaozu would regret it, so he hurriedly finalized, "It's better for you to hang up the title of the issuer again." Anyway, since this movie is foreign investment, it is better to release it in Xinbao......"
Xu Yu also made his own calculations. This drama is not an investment for Princess Jin, he naturally needs to maximize his interests.
The share of Xinbao Cinema Line is now the highest on Hong Kong Island, and he naturally pursues the greatest interests.
The issuer sounds lofty, but in fact the issuance is the responsibility of the specific company.
Hu Jinquan got Wu Xiaozu's promise to invest because of this play, and his lips couldn't help but overflow with a childlike smile.
Among the four major directors on Hong Kong Island that year, Hu Jinquan was the only director who was not famous. The output itself is low, and then the filming is extremely slow, and it is normal for a drama to be filmed for two or three years. In this case, which company can withstand the sluggish investment?
But, this is Hu Jinquan!
A filmmaker who has been shooting a movie and waiting for the sun for half a month for the sunshine to hit the monk's head. His films have a style and mind that are rare in Hong Kong Island films. The movie is very pure, but it is not a Hong Kong film.
This is an intellectual type of artist. Unfortunately, Hong Kong Island is not friendly to artists in this era!
But it's respectful.
Wu Xiaozu now wants to experiment with his new methods and ideas, and he has to work hard to make money.
Help them toss their heads this time...... Ahem, helping them to match-making is a blessing.
For people like Wu Xiaozu. Kindness, of course, should be repaid! It's not that you don't want to repay, the time has not yet come!
