Chapter 232: Script, "Who is the Cutest Person"!
What is this film that Wu Xiang told them?
It's very simple, there is a movie about the 38th Army.
For this movie, the script has not yet come out, but Wu Xiang saw that this talent was rare, and he immediately started to recruit, so he was very excited to change Zhou Gong's famous words, we are all for the rise of China!
Although there is no script, Wu Xiang has already thought about it, the main story focus of this movie is on 'Resisting US Aggression and Aiding Korea', which was explained to Lan Xiaolong before.
And Wu Xiang has already made up his mind, even if his own funds are limited, he must make a big investment, and he must make a sophisticated epic war blockbuster!
That's not right, didn't Wu Xiang make a lot of money?
Don't forget, the amount of money to invite Michael Jackson to the concert is still unknown, and the European side has only built a bridgehead, but you can't let this bridgehead be without bullets, right?
Wu Xiang's original plan was very good, that is, he still did the old business of M6 before, that is, he was panning for gold in this place in Asia, mainly mainland and Hong Kong movies, but I didn't expect that this aspect was not too easy to do.
Although Andy has the support, it is not easy for you to introduce Hong Kong films, and people are not stupid, and they also care about asking for money. In addition, the recent weakness of Hong Kong films, the films are not as good as before, and this return is a bit cheating.
In addition, the previous performance of "No Thieves in the World" in Europe was only average, and this box office did not meet expectations. It should be said that it lost money, yes, this M6 still has to be transfused now.
The European distribution of "No Thieves in the World". It's been decided early in the morning.,Since they've already bought the M6 company.,So why do you want to find another publisher?
The time when "No Thief" was released in Europe was basically the same as that in the United States, but Wu Xiang didn't go over, he just sent a few leading actors to stand on the scene, and it was released in many places at the same time. This trick is usually used, and besides, he Wu Xiang showed his face in the United States. That will also be in the entertainment news in Europe.
However, the tastes of European audiences are somewhat different from those of American audiences, and "No Thieves" was also released on a large scale, but this box office was less than 10 million euros.
The first shot of the new M6 company failed. But there is no fear of failure. We have to sum up what failed for Lang, right?
Wu Xiang doesn't want to worry about this matter, he completely trusts Li Yuncong, Wu Xiang wants to delegate power now, he can't let it go, he has too many things, and he can't make movies.
As a result, there is a bit of a shortage of funds. And this war movie, the scene is only big. The investment is definitely not small, Wu Xiang has already filmed "The Emperor of the Han Dynasty", he is no longer a junior brother, I know how much money is worth talking about this big scene, and more importantly, it is difficult to save money in this regard.
Yes, I can only make a fuss about the labor of the actors, otherwise what should I do?
After returning from the United States, especially after the debate with Zhang Ziyi, he became more concerned about making a movie about the 38th Army, because he already urgently felt that the current ideological battlefield, the US imperialists are really too strong, and we need to do some counterattacks.
It's late September 2004, and the bomb from Michael's concert won't be used until June '05, so why didn't you make this movie for such a long time?
But the question is, is this script ready?
Wu Xiang didn't know the answer, but Wu Xiang knew that he had already copied "My Regiment Leader, My Regiment".
Copying a script, naturally it doesn't take much time, yes, Wu Xiang contacted Lan Xiaolong on the grounds that his script was finished, but he didn't think about it.
Lan Xiaolong has also finished writing the script!
This is incredible, you must know that the script written by Lan Xiaolong is original, really original, original according to Wu Xiang's requirements, you have to find a lot of historical information, this is very time-consuming and laborious, but Lan Xiaolong still used the same time as Wu Xiang to write this script, can this not surprise Wu Xiang?
At the temporary office location of 307, Wu Xiang met Lan Xiaolong.
"Director Wu, have you finished writing your book?" Lan Xiaolong spoke in an equally incredible tone as soon as he saw Wu Xiang.
That's right, Lan Xiaolong was also very surprised, because he didn't believe that Wu Xiang could finish writing the script about the 'Expeditionary Force' in such a short time, so possible?!
The incredible reason is the same as Wu Xiang's.
"Ah, it's done, hahaha......" Wu Xiang quickly understood, Lan Xiaolong didn't know that the script he wrote was copied from him at all, so it seems that sometimes plagiarism is quite fun.
"Director Wu, you are so powerful! I really didn't expect that you would be so familiar with the history of the expeditionary force, and ...... like this."
"Let's swap and have a look?"
The scripts of the two have been written, so let's see if what the other party writes is in line with their hearts.
Shocked! Shocked!
Lan Xiaolong swore to the sky, he definitely didn't expect that the script written by Director Wu Xiang would be exactly the same as the one he thought in his heart!
It's incredible, it's incredible, it's incredible......
Anyway, Lan Xiaolong will never know Lu Dao for the rest of his life, in fact, this script is his own, Wu Xiang just copied it and made a 'copy of the text'.
But how can you not be excited about a work that fits your own ideas?
"Director Wu! Your script is simply a god! I admire you to death! Really, I, I have nothing more to say, you are simply a god, a god!"
Originally, Wu Xiang should be happy to be praised like this, but on the one hand, Wang Xiaoyi had already praised it once before, Wu Xiang was somewhat immune, and on the other hand, Wu Xiang looked at Lan Xiaolong's script, which ......
“…… Wang Jinchuan, Xing Yutang, Jing Yuzhuo, Wang Wenying, Xiong Guanquan, Wang Jinhou, Zhao Xijie, Sui Jinshan, Li Yuan, Ding Zhendai, Zhang Guisheng, Cui Yuliang, Li Shuguo, ......"
Why are these names so familiar?
Come to think of it!
Wu Xiang took a cursory look. immediately said to Lan Xiaolong: "Is your script the adaptation of the documentary literature "Who is the cutest person"?"
"Hey, Director Wu. You can see it, yes! I adapted it from that article, didn't you tell me at the beginning, that you should take the deeds of the Korean battlefield as the main deeds, and then you have to catch the typical characters, preferably the little people, the little people in the war. Let their fate tug at the hearts of the audience, and most importantly, it must also be the fact of the 38th Army. Know the way. The reason why the 38th Army was called the Long Live Army was because of the second battle to which this Battle of Songgu Peak belonged, isn't this completely in line with your requirements?"
That's right! Wu Xiang's request is the above, but Lan Xiaolong is according to your Wu Xiang's request. Done it seriously. But there is no cutting corners, it's just that the main story of Lan Xiaolong's script is this battle of Pine Bone Peak, so he only needs to carefully check the relevant information of this Pine Bone Peak battle.
This is also for what he can write so fast.
Wu Xiang had no choice but to sigh, this is all fate!
I thought I was taking advantage. But that's not the case at all.
It's just that in retrospect. It seems that this article "Who is the cutest person" was originally a text, but many textbooks were later deleted.
Obviously, many people, especially those engaged in education, seem to have thought that the current international situation is no longer the same as before, and that we are now cooperating more with other US imperialists, so why do we still need this article?
"PATTERN!SAMETIMES-NAIVE!SAMETIMES-NAIVE!" WU XIANG VOMITED IN HIS HEART, ANYWAY, THESE PEOPLE WHO ARE ENGAGED IN EDUCATION ARE REALLY ...... Let our students hate textbooks the most in their lives, and let them take US imperialism lightly!
Since you deleted it, then Lao Tzu just made this movie and let everyone remember it again.
Wu Xiang made up his mind, and he began to discuss the script with Lan Xiaolong.
It turned out that the Steel Seventh Company in "Soldier Assault" did not exist, and the Steel Seventh Company in the Soldier Assault belonged to the 84th Army, but in fact, it has been revealed in Lan Xiaolong's novel that this is the unit of the 38th Army.
And the steel seven companies do not exist, and some of them are actually red three companies!
The Red Third Company, that is, the company in the script of the 38th Army now, fought bloodily on Songgu Peak, trying to prevent the US 2nd Division from converging with friendly forces, and the two US troops were only one kilometer apart, but they could not converge in one place.
The Red Third Company repelled five charges by the American army at that time, all of which were group charges accompanied by tanks and aircraft, and only seven people were still alive in the entire company!
This is also for what, in Lan Xiaolong's works, this unit is called 'Steel Seventh Company'!
In the joining ceremony of the Seventh Company of Steel, it was said that only three soldiers came back after the most difficult battle, which is also true, because there were still four soldiers who were seriously injured and were later rescued, and returned to China to retire from the army to participate in production, and they have always been 'three do not stretch out', incognito...... In the face of such heroes, who is embarrassed to pour dirty water on them? To say that their victories are worthless? or even to deny their victories and their merits altogether?
In other words, in fact, Wu Xiang hit the muzzle of the gun this time, what he wants to shoot, Lan Xiaolong is already very familiar with it, and it would be strange if this script was slow.
This muzzle hit well, it hit so well!
This script is generally quite satisfactory, but Wu Xiang still feels that something is missing. From the perspective of characters, there are a lot of characters, and the protagonist is not too prominent, but in such a movie, it seems that it is really difficult for the protagonist to stand out, unless it is not based on historical facts, to create a more magnificent personal hero image.
However, Wu Xiang immediately rejected this idea in his mind, and at the same time, a very, very strong idea popped up in his mind.
"In this way, Xiaolong, let's create an image, this image is the protagonist, but our protagonist must be down-to-earth, must be ordinary, and must live after the worst, it is better to choose a farmer, the most ordinary farmer. But the key issue is that we also want the audience to remember those dead martyrs, we must let them remember the dead martyrs, must!"
This is Wu Xiang's request, but this request seems to be a little too difficult.
But even so, Lan Xiaolong agreed without adding it up!(To be continued......)
