Chapter 1183 Tang
When Jiang Xia returned to his residence, it was half past ten in the evening.
In addition to the proposal, Jiang Xia was also asked a lot of things.
In the end, Jiang Xia didn't get a clear answer, but got a task.
Back at the residence, You Fangfei, Cheng Xin, and Gong Shan all killed.
"What did I talk to you about?" asked Cheng Xin.
"Another thing about today's proposal is to let me make a movie and choose more traditional Chinese culture to shoot. Jiang Xia scratched his head and said, "Do you feel difficult?"
You Fangfei thought for a moment and said, "It's really difficult. In Hollywood movies, some of the things that are often promoted actually overlap with us, but since he proposed to shoot traditional things, these have to be eliminated as much as possible, and something different has to be brought out. ”
"That's right, it's skyrocketing. Gong Shan also said, "Have you thought of a direction?"
"No, my eyes are black. Jiangxia said.
Cheng Xin said: "I thought of a direction. ”
"What?" the three of them asked.
Cheng Xin said: "History." ”
"History?" Jiang Xia repeated.
Gong Shan also repeated the chant: "History?"
"History?" You Fangfei pondered.
Cheng Xin nodded and said, "It's history." ”
Gong Shan's eyes lit up and said, "I understand what you mean." ”
You Fangfei thought for a moment and said, "I also understand." ”
After speaking, the three of them looked at Jiang Xia together.
Jiang Xia looked at them blankly and asked, "I don't understand." ”
"You actually understand, you took out the script that you wrote halfway through. Cheng Xin said.
"Huh, you still have a half-written script?" Gong Shan said curiously.
"I haven't heard you mention it?" You Fangfei also said.
Jiang Xia pouted.
Cheng Xin is talking about a script that he really has original, after so many years, except for the "Superstar" series, which is semi-original, Jiangxia has nothing original.
Previously, when filming the "Harry Potter" series of movies, in addition to planning a batch of award-winning movies, Jiang Xia also prepared an original work for himself, but the polishing process was relatively slow, and only half of it has been written so far, and it is still far from being written completely.
Cheng Xin once went to London to look for him and found his little script, which he brought up at this time.
"That's it. ”
Jiang Xia had no choice but to take out a small part of the script.
Gong Shan and You Fangfei immediately surrounded them.
The script is not long, and the two of them read it quickly.
"It's really good, it's in line with the requirements. Gong Shan said after reading it.
"It's a bit difficult to shoot though. You Fangfei said, "Either use extremely high special effects, or use a lot of people like the golden armor all over the city." ”
Jiang Xia nodded and said, "I think so too, and it's difficult to restore the scene, why do you think this can work?"
"Absolutely. Cheng Xin said, "Isn't what you have written is history? What is China's most precious treasure? It is the history of 5,000 years of civilization, and any period is the most traditional and wonderful." ”
"As long as there is some story-based history, it can be made into a film that embodies traditional Chinese culture, and many elements can be added to the film to reflect the traditional Chinese benevolence, righteousness, courtesy, wisdom, faith, gentleness, courtesy, and frugality. Gong Shan also said.
Jiang Xia was stunned and said: "I didn't think about it that much, I just wanted to make a commercial costume film, that's all." ”
"Now you have to change it, slowly revise the theme and details, this is very interesting. You Fangfei said.
"You have chosen this time, the majestic China, the most brilliant prosperous era. Cheng Xin said.
"Sheng Tang. Gongshan said.
Jiangxia's script is prepared for the events of the Tang Dynasty's prosperous Zhenguan period, and it is written that the Heavenly Khan Li Shimin led the invincible iron cavalry of the Tang Dynasty to sweep the world and open up the Silk Road.
The Tang Dynasty is an extremely brilliant stroke in Chinese history, and to this day, the gathering places of Chinese all over the world are called "Chinatowns", which also shows the influence of the Tang Dynasty.
For 5,000 years, Jiangxia's favorite dynasty was the Ming Dynasty, but the most well-known and memorable in the world was undoubtedly the Tang Dynasty.
The script written by Jiang Xia intercepted the history of Li Shimin, who had ascended the throne as emperor after the establishment of the Tang Dynasty, and assigned Hou Jun to collect the Western Regions to conquer Gaochang.
This period of history is not brilliant in the vast history, but its significance is very significant, this is after the Tang Dynasty settled the world, the four directions of the southeast, northwest and northwest, except for the eastern expedition to Goguryeo has not been successful, has been invincible.
Among them, the war with the greatest influence on the later generations of the Tang Dynasty should be the war in the Western Regions.
This battle laid the foundation for the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty, reopened the Silk Road, and completely scattered the prestige of the Tang Dynasty to all sides, achieving the invincible prestige of Li Shimin's "Heavenly Khan".
Jiangxia chose this history to show the difficulty of Hou Junji's expedition to the west, as well as the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty.
"But in fact, there is another piece of history that can be brought out. ”
Following the train of thought of the three of them, Jiang Xia pondered.
"Which paragraph?" asked Gong Shan.
Jiang Xia said: "Daming, the Ming Dynasty when Zhu Qizhen was captured. ”
"That's too bad, isn't it? If you choose that paragraph, it is better to choose Yue Fei to fight against Jin and Qi Jiguang to fight against the Japanese. Gong Shan said.
You Fangfei said: "Yue Fei has no choice to resist Jin, that is not to fight against foreign enemies, it is to hinder the historical process, or Qi Jiguang's resistance to the Japanese is reliable." ”
"I think Jiangxia's choice is right, but it's best not to choose the western expedition to Gaochang from the beginning, why don't you put Li Shimin's extermination of the Turks first, and reveal the appearance of the Tang Dynasty little by little?" Cheng Xin suggested.
Jiang Xia said: "I think it's better to draw materials from different periods of the Tang Dynasty to show a long-term history, my plan is that after such a period of history, it will be Wu Zetian's reign in the world, and then the Tang Ming Emperor's Hall of Eternal Life on July 7, three periods of history, which is enough to show the flavor of the Tang Dynasty." ”
"How do you understand the flavor of the Tang Dynasty?" Gong Shan asked, "It's war?"
Jiang Xia shook his head: "That's not it, Sheng Tang? That is Li Shimin's invincible army in the Tang Dynasty, the uniqueness of Wu Zetian's eternal empress, and the lingering compassion of Li Longji's Immortal Palace." ”
"I didn't ask you to write an essay, but it's okay for you to understand it that way. However, the top asked you to write about traditional culture, don't you?" Gong Shan said.
Jiangxia was stuck, he thought about his plan carefully, and it seemed that there was really no embodiment of traditional culture.
"I think we can change the direction and write about the cultural protagonist, not the imperial protagonist. You Fangfei said, "Integrate the flavor of the Tang Dynasty into Wang Bo's Luoxia and the lonely bird flying together, and sink into the heroism of Li Bai looking up to the sky and laughing and going out, so as to reflect the flavor of the Tang Dynasty." ”
"Tang, isn't the most important thing poetry? I agree with Fang Fei. Cheng Xin said.
"I agree. Gong Shan also said.
Jiang Xia said: "I am against it, I can't write it." ”
