When Jiang Xia came to Hengying, it was the time to eat at noon. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

So, the employees of Hengying, who had not seen Jiangxia for a long time, saw Jiangxia again in Hengying's restaurant.

Cheng Xin was also in the company and didn't go out, and when she saw Jiang Xia coming, she beckoned Jiang Xia to come over and eat together.

Jiang Xia took the meal and sat opposite Cheng Xin.

Cheng Xin said: "You're back?"

Jiang Xia nodded and said, "Well, the movie is finished?"

Cheng Xin said: "It's done, after the film is completely made, it really feels good, and your soundtrack is also good." is a good movie, better than what Hengying has done before. ”

"That's a must, that's my only value in the company. Jiang Xia said with a smile.

"Eat first, go to watch a movie after eating, and send it directly for review if there is no problem. Cheng Xin said.

"Yes, they all know how to submit for review. Jiang Xia praised.

"Eat it. Cheng Xin said.

Jiang Xia nodded, and began to destroy the food. He hadn't eaten in the morning, he hadn't eaten on the plane, he was hungry for a long time.

In the afternoon, the viewing room.

Jiang Xia saw the final product of "God of Gamblers", which was very good, from the radio to the soundtrack, there were no flaws, and it was almost perfect.

"Yes, very good. Jiang Xia said, "Go and submit it for review, in the radio and television port, my movie is still fine." ”

Cheng Xin nodded and said, "That's good, Yanzi, you go and arrange it." ”

Xue Yan glanced at Jiang Xia and went out directly.

"You called yesterday and said you had something to say, what?"

Cheng Xin said as she took out a bottle of champagne from the wine cabinet next to her, opened it, poured herself a glass, and threw a bottle of drink to Jiang Xia.

"Do you still have drinks in your wine cabinet?" Jiang Xia asked in amazement.

Cheng Xin glanced at him and said, "Not everyone drinks, always put some drinks in case of emergency." ”

"I see. Jiang Xia suddenly, "What I want to tell you is that I prepared a script, the script of the next movie, the investment is a bit big, but I want to shoot it." ”

"The investment is a bit big, do you have your own budget?" Cheng Xin asked, "The specific size of the investment depends on the accounting of the audit department. ”

"I expected. Jiangxia said.

Cheng Xin took a sip of wine and said, "Your estimate is not too accurate, the God of Gamblers is like this." Let's talk about what you estimated, right? Blockbuster, there's 100 million?"

"My estimated production cost is 100 million, or up. You can ask someone from the audit department to calculate and try it, and it may end up being 200 million. Jiangxia said.

"200 million, in China, is definitely the standard for blockbusters, big productions. So, what about the box office?" Cheng Xin looked at Jiang Xia.

Jiang Xia took a sip of his drink and said: "I don't know, if you want to return to the capital, you will need at least one billion, how high the profit is, it depends on the specific situation, and you can also let the people in the marketing department evaluate and predict." ”

Cheng Xin raised her hand and glanced at the time and said: "There are still two hours to go, I will notify a few people in charge, and the conference room will be held in half an hour, and then take the script and discuss it together." ”

"Good. Jiang Xia nodded.

After Cheng Xin finished speaking, she put down her wine glass and walked out, Jiang Xia took the drink, took another sip, and then walked to her office.

In the office, Jiang Xia checked the script one last time before printing out the script, a total of twenty copies were printed, and Jiang Xia thought it was enough.

Coming to the conference room with a large stack of scripts, Jiang Xia entered the door and saw some of Hengying's middle-level executives, all of whom were already sitting in the conference room waiting for him.

"Director Jiang, I haven't seen you for a long time. Du Rong, the director of the artist department, sat close to the door and greeted Jiang Xia.

Not only Du Rong, but the other supervisors also greeted Jiang Xia one by one, and Jiang Xia also responded. No matter how they stumble in private, at least on the surface, they won't show Jiang Xia's face. Not everyone can glance at Xue Yan, and if they don't deal with Jiang Xia on the surface, they can not make Cheng Xin angry.

"Let Director Jiang tell you what he thinks. Cheng Xin said.

Jiang Xia opened his mouth and said: "The God of Gamblers movie is completely completed, the next movie should be planned, I have already written the script, it is a costume drama, you can take a look at it first, after watching it, if you have any questions, you can discuss it again." ”

Saying that, he distributed the script, one copy for everyone, including Xue Yan, and finally returned to Jiang Xia's hands, and there was only one copy left.

Next, the entire conference room fell silent, and everyone except Jiang Xia was reading Jiang Xia's script.

Half an hour later, Cheng Xin said, "I've finished reading it, right?"

Everyone nodded.

"After reading it, if you have any questions, let's talk about them one by one. Director Wu, you come first. Cheng Xin said by name.

Wu Ang, the director of the production department, said: "The script is very good, I have to admit that when the middle identity came out, it was really shocking, but there is a question, is this script a bit manpower?"

"I said, it's a blockbuster. Jiang Xia said.

Wu Ang raised his eyebrows and didn't say anything more, Tang Li said: "The city is full of golden armor, why is this name so familiar?"

"When autumn comes, September 8, I will kill a hundred flowers after the flowers bloom. The heavenly incense array penetrates Chang'an, and the city is full of golden armor. This is a poem written by Huang Chao after he fell in the imperial examination, called Fu Ju after the first degree. Jiang Xiakou replied.

Wei Xiadong said, "It's too commercial. The whole script has a strong commercial flavor, Director Jiang is going to make a commercial film?"

"Yes, commercial films, commercial blockbusters. Jiang Xia admitted.

When Jiang Xia writes a blockbuster script, the first thing he thinks about is which blockbuster to choose, Chinese blockbusters, there are not many that can make Jiang Xia look at it. In the era when the film market was not hot, what could be called a blockbuster was nothing more than "Hero", "Wu Ji", "Night Banquet", "The City Full of Golden Armor" and so on. Later, after the film market became popular, some blockbusters were not eye-catching.

In terms of choosing the genre, Jiang Xia tends to costume films, excluding sci-fi and special effects blockbusters, so there is even less room for choice, and finally he chose Zhang Yimou's "The City is Full of Golden Armor".

In his previous life, this movie had a very low rating on Douban, only 51 points, and this rating and bad evaluation surprised Jiang Xia. He couldn't imagine that such a blockbuster movie would be on the same score as a bad movie like "Villain Angel".

This movie is not a good movie, but it can only be regarded as a not-so-good movie, but there is still a big gap with the level of "bad movies".

The story is adapted from "Thunderstorm", and people all over China are familiar with the story of "Thunderstorm", which is an excerpt from a middle school textbook, so the story tension of "The City Full of Golden Armor" is not enough. At the same time, the story line of the whole movie is relatively simple, the picture is too colorful, and the big-breasted girls at the beginning are too eye-catching, which can be regarded as shortcomings, but you can't ignore its advantages because of the shortcomings.

is also luxurious, watching a movie of more than 100 minutes seems a little aesthetically tired, but when I just started watching it, it was very shocking. The royal atmosphere, luxurious and gorgeous, seems to redefine the royal palace and redefine the royal concept. The details in the movie are perfectly portrayed, formalizing and concretizing the ancient royal and even ancient traditional culture, which is reflected in many details.

There are also many metaphors in the whole movie, in the form of palace battles, alluding to some political issues after the founding of the People's Republic of China, but this is also a bit far-fetched, and it is not necessarily true that this idea exists. The whole movie is a visual feast, in that era when there is no 3D, purely relying on people, the shocking effect piled up is not achieved by special effects.

People in the previous life commented on this movie, and they all thought that the story was too weak, that was with "Thunderstorm" in front of Zhuyu, so, without "Thunderstorm", what kind of surprise would it be to see the scene of ***? I am afraid that I will deeply think that there were many insiders in the nine-fold court at that time, and it was very chaotic.

Moreover, this is originally a commercial blockbuster, and it can even be said to be the benchmark banner of China's commercial blockbusters, and no film can surpass it...... Wait, there's one, or four, a PPT youth movie that plagiarizes a short man. It's also a commercial film, but Jiang Xia doesn't even bother to watch it, it's a bad movie.

The movie "The City Full of Golden Armor", if Jiang Xia is asked to evaluate the biggest shortcoming, it is actually in the lines and language, when each actor says the lines, there is a feeling of performing on the stage, as if he is acting in a stage play, and seems to be performing for the audience, rather than really talking in the play.

As a whole, Jiang Xia commented that "The City Full of Golden Armor" is a good commercial blockbuster, but it is definitely not a good movie, but it is not a bad movie.

As soon as this movie was released, it ushered in overwhelming scolding, but if you watch it carefully and don't watch it with subjective thoughts, this movie is definitely much better than many commercial films.

Jiang Xia chose this movie, the main reason is that the scene of this movie is big enough, it is really big.

Comrade Zhang Yimou was born as a photographer, his films, there is absolutely no problem in the composition of the picture, it is absolutely beautiful and beautiful, and the color is also very good. And the overwhelming people, the neat and uniform military formation, don't praise it too much.

At first, Jiang Xia watched Zhang Yimou's movie, which was "Hero", and when Qin Jun shouted "wind, strong wind" in unison, he was quite shocked, and the sense of blood brought by the ten thousand arrows will still be remembered and never forgotten.

Jiang Xia chose this movie for another reason. He wants to earn 5 billion box office in five years, and it is very difficult not to make commercial blockbusters, quite difficult.

Cinema is both art and commodity. Jiang Xia tends to tell a good story in a movie, it is a good movie, a movie he likes, but he also does not reject popcorn movies, go to the cinema to watch special effects, as long as the movie is not a bad movie, how comfortable it is to watch. If it's a bad movie's special effects, it's dirty eyes when you watch it......

Jiang Xia believes that in a world without "Thunderstorm", the shortcomings of the thin story of "The City Full of Golden Armor" will be made up.
