Chapter 329: Dragons and Dragons, There Are Differences, Not to Mention Demons
Wu Xiang seems to remember that Zhou Gongzi's studio was only established in 2010 in the original history, that is to say, he seems to have influenced the historical trend again, which is ......
Fortunately, I'm in the entertainment industry, but if it's in another industry, I won't have a world war?
I have to say that someone's imagination is still so easy to complain about.
Zhou Gongzi's call to the door gave Wu Xiang a new goal, and now his reform of 307 has begun, and his own functions have also changed, so, in fact, Wu Xiang is not as busy as before, so it is just right to make this movie and make a new "Painted Skin"!
This is a work that is destined to be a fantasy theme, or rather, it also carries the kind of feudal superstition that does not conform to the national conditions, but this film does not need to be like that kind of ghost film, and the audience must be told that this qiē is all fake, and the ghost is fake.
Of course, there are no ghosts in this movie, some are demons, but the demon thing is also a feudal superstition, so how can it still be normal?
It's very simple, because of this demon, the place where it appears is very good, it appears in "Liao Zhai", this novel, that is a famous work in the history of our country, this is a literary masterpiece, as long as it is a monster that has entered a famous book, then it is not ...... It's usually a monster!
Journey to the West can also be filmed casually, isn't it? That is to say, as long as it is a monster of a famous book, the level is different, so if you want to make your own ghost stories or various stories, you can shoot them, and you don't have to become fake, then the original author has to work hard.
Other than that. Wu Xiang actually has to thank Zhou Gongzi, if she hadn't come to urge herself, then maybe this movie "Painted Skin" would have been robbed by the company that people had originally prepared!
All right. It's a bit too much to say this, it should be Wu Xiang who robbed people.
Fortunately, Wu Xiang is not eating alone now, and he also understands that since he is going to turn 307 into a platform, it is better to unite a force that can be united, so. He threw an olive branch to the original producer of this film, Ning Xia Film Studio, and Shanghai Film Group. Prepare everyone to join forces to make a magic blockbuster.
As soon as these two families saw that Wu Xiang was so active, they naturally couldn't slack off, and Shangying actually had a lot to do with Dongfang Tai. Wu Xiang has this line. And there is also the relationship between Lao Gao's side, so Shangying is very happy, and Ningying is the first time to cooperate, but with Wu Xiang's current reputation, there should be no problem.
But don't forget. This "Painted Skin" was originally made by Ning Ying, although it was filmed and released in 08. But now it's 07 years, don't they have the idea and preparation for this?
There really is, generally speaking, a movie needs to be prepared for a long, long time, so this idea, that is, the idea of making a magic blockbuster based on "Liao Zhai", they have it, and the person who has always had this plan is called Pang Yan!
Pang Yan, people outside the circle may not know this person very well, but as Wu Xiang, who has been in the entertainment industry for a long time, he knows very well that this person is actually the most capable and capable one in Ningying now, the film "Painted Skin" is actually made by him, and the Pang Yong in the film is the role played by 'Bullet', which is actually Pang Yan's younger brother.
Ning XIA, if you want to talk about movies, it seems that many people feel relatively unfamiliar, have they ever released any blockbusters?
Don't underestimate this Ning Ying, he is also one of the few giants in China.
The "Red Sorghum" was filmed in the Western Film and Television City, it was not called the Film and Television City at that time, there was a scene, and the rest was basically a sheepfold, but later, as long as there was a need for a shot of desert yellow sand, it was basically filmed in the Western Film and Television City, including many Hong Kong movies.
"New Dragon Gate Inn" and "Journey to the West" were all filmed in this place, which is why the movie "Painted Skin", although it is the main investment of Ning Ying, but what really plays the role in it and establishes the skeleton is because of Hong Kong filmmakers, they have a good relationship and are too familiar, Western Studios and Ning Ying are inextricably linked.
And this Pang Yan is what Ning Ying is really in charge of now, and he also has a plan for "Painted Skin", but this plan is still in a rudimentary state, and there is nothing yet, and he doesn't even know if he is filming "Painted Skin".
Now that Wu Xiang is here, and Pang Yan has already talked about a preliminary intention with Hong Kong, what should I do?
Everyone cooperates, Wu Xiang's attitude here is very detached, anyway, he has reformed, and it is not bad to reform his colleagues in Hong Kong.
In the original movie, screenwriters, directors, cinematographers, except for music, are basically all Hong Kong filmmakers, this time Wu Xiang came, then he simply accepted all these Hong Kong filmmakers, but he thought well, but people in Hong Kong were a little unhappy, the main thing is the problem of film.
"This demon is not right, right? According to your Wu Dao's thoughts, this demon seems to be a little too good, right? Chen Jiashang, that is, the director of the original movie, he is actually also a screenwriter, after reading Wu Xiang's script, he had such a complaint, and he deliberately found Wu Xiang, anyway, he is now in the capital.
The image of a demon?
That's right, in Wu Xiang's "Painted Skin", the image of the demon is not as terrifying as in Chen Jiashang's version, Wu Xiang marked it very clearly in the script, this fox demon should be beautiful, very beautiful!
Wu Xiang still remembers that when he was watching the original "Painted Skin", when he took off the painted skin, the demon's appearance was really terrifying, a black thing, as if it was made of threads, it was not very good-looking anyway, and it was a little disgusting.
Of course, that part is the effect of computer stunts, but the question is, since you do computer stunts, why don't you make it look better?
When "Painted Skin 2", the fox demon changed, it was very good-looking, and it was very stylish.
What Wu Xiang is doing now is actually nothing more than the image of the fox demon. Give some advance, so that the image of "Painted Skin 2" comes out early.
It's simple, but there's a reason for that. Wu Xiang has his own ideas, so he must insist on this.
"Director Chen, I want to ask you, why do you have to make that demon so ugly and terrifying?"
Wu Xiang wanted to hear a reason, so Chen Jiashang naturally said it.
"If I do it. Then the image of this demon must be terrifying, very terrifying. Because only in this way can the audience have a terrifying psychology, so that an atmosphere can be created, besides. This terrifying image. It can also form a stark contrast to the beautiful image after the skin is painted, and you are also a director, so you don't even understand this, right?"
I have to say that Chen Jiashang does have a level, and people are not idle eaters.
But Wu Xiang had his reasoning, and he only heard Wu Xiang say: "Director Chen, I understand your thoughts. And I'll start by saying that, that is. My thoughts have nothing to do with that review or anything, you have to understand this, I'm not afraid of the Film Authority. ”
"I see. ”
Wu Xiang continued: "The reason why I want to make the image of the fox demon look better is mainly for two purposes, on the one hand, it is to look good, this is more straightforward, right, I understand." In addition, I am going to go abroad for this film, so the image of this demon fox is a kind of propaganda, a kind of cultural propaganda. ”
"What is the propaganda?" Chen Jiashang's spiritual head came.
"Didn't I say it, culture. Wu Xiang didn't answer.
"What kind of culture?" Chen Jiashang was confused.
"What kind of film is this?" Wu Xiang smiled.
"Supernatural, ghostly, magical. Chen Jiashang gave several answers, but in fact they were all the same.
"That's right! That's the culture!" Wu Xiang laughed.
Is Wu Xiang going around in circles with Chen Jiashang? Are you teasing him?
Of course not!
Ghosts, spirits, magic, this is also cultured, but in the cultures of the East and the West, this part is not the same.
Our oriental culture is familiar to everyone, that is, what is the Buddha, the fairy, the Jade Emperor, the monkey, the fox spirit,...... This kind of thing, but there is a characteristic here, that is, in general, the evil, especially bad kind, they are not ugly, and even some long ugly ones are not necessarily bad.
But it's different in the West, as long as they are evil and pregnant, they are all very ugly and even disgusting. Of course, they also have a lot of stories about things that are beautiful on the surface, but evil on the inside, and that's also true. But the difference between Eastern and Western cultures can also be seen here.
And the most obvious part of this difference, the table xiàn, is that there is a view about the 'dragon'.
Dragon, in our culture, that is auspicious, we are the descendants of the dragon, that is good.
But in Western culture, dragons are evil, very evil, they only like gold and silver treasures, and they also like to breathe fire everywhere, invulnerable, especially powerful.
What I want to say here is that our dragon is not the same as the dragon of the West, and that's right. But the problem is that those crooked nuts don't know!
It seems to be a very simple question, but anyone can distinguish the difference between the Eastern and Western dragons. But those crooked nuts, most of them, they just can't tell the difference, and sometimes they don't have a rut.
We claim to be descendants of dragons, and then Westerners have evil views of dragons, so don't look at our dragons as different, but they just think that we are also evil.
It's true, it's true.
Why did you get to the dragon again?
Because, there are dragons in Wu Xiang's "Painted Skin", plus demon foxes, Wu Xiang wants to use this movie to let those guys in the West who can't tell the difference between their dragons and our dragons see what monsters look like in our culture.
Your monsters are all ugly, and most of our side are beautiful......
I have to say that Wu Xiang's idea to change the worldview of Western audiences on evil things through guò's "Painted Skin" is really well-intentioned, and as for whether it can achieve the effect that Wu Xiang expects, this matter has to be done slowly.
However, can Chen Jiashang accept Wu Xiang's idea? (To be continued......
