Chapter 1191 Mythology

Jiang Xia listened to Gong Shan's advice and wrote movies for 5,000 years.

If you don't consider the stories in myths and legends, the first part should be Xia Yu's biography, opening the era of the world.

But Jiang Xia thought about it carefully, the era of the Great Xia Dynasty was too long, and the stories at that time were too difficult to write, and not many people were willing to look at the ancients who drank blood.

So Jiangxia pulled the era directly back to Qin Shi Huang.

The rise of the Qin Dynasty can not only be attributed to Qin Shi Huang, since the Shang Dynasty changed the law, began the prelude to the strong Qin, and the successive emperors were not faint monarchs, which gave Ying Zheng the capital of the world in one fell swoop.

Qin Shi Huang unified the six kingdoms, with the same ruts, the same books, and unified weights and measures, and laid the foundation of the Great Qin Dynasty.

How to write about this emperor through the ages and show that era, Jiang Xia thought about it for five minutes and decided not to write it directly, but to highlight it from the side.

He thought of two films, both of which were films that traveled through the genre.

One is Lao Mouzi's "Ancient and Modern Wars of the Qin Warriors", and the other is Jackie Chan's "Myth".

For the two movies, Jiang Xia thought for less than two minutes before deciding to shoot "Myth".

In his previous life, when Jiang Xia saw the movie "Myth" for the first time, he didn't think it was very amazing, and he had seen TV series and movies with a cross-theme before.

But when Jiang Xia saw the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang, the records in the "Historical Records" were reproduced, which shocked Jiang Xia too much.

"The first emperor ascended the throne at the beginning of the reign, wore the Lishan Mountain, and the world, the world sent more than 700,000 people, wore three springs, and the copper was buried in the coffin, and the palace was full of strange and strange artifacts. Let the craftsman make a crossbow arrow, and shoot those who are close. With mercury as the rivers and seas, the machine is instilled, with astronomy and geography. With mermaid paste as a candle, the one who will not be extinguished will last for a long time. ”

The original text in the "Historical Records" recorded that during that period of the journey, it was reproduced.

When Jiang Xia wanted to write the script, he thought of the feeling of seeing this scene for the first time, so he decided to make the movie "Myth".

Not for anything else, just to reproduce the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang.

In "Mythology", the scene of "ascending to heaven after death, and the heavenly soldiers and heavenly generals will guard all day long" is indeed shocking at first glance.

Today's special effects technology is far beyond that of the time, and a single Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang can give a close-up of more than a minute to show one of the most glorious buildings of the Qin Dynasty.

Jiangxia has also checked some information for this, and at present, Chinese movies do not show the appearance of the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang, and the theme of the Terracotta Army and Horses is only regarded as an ordinary cultural relic, and there are few movies that involve it to push the Qin Dynasty.

The script of "Mythology" came out on the day of Gong Shan's response, and Jiang Xia could only say that it was a coincidence.

Gong Shan read the script, and then asked curiously, "Do you really want to go to the ice and snow to make a movie?"

"It depends on the situation, it's not very likely that you will really go. Jiang Xia said.

"Don't go, you're so old, pay attention. Gongshan said.

"Cheng, listen to you. Jiangxia said.

Jiang Xia himself didn't want to shoot in the ice and snow, it was too difficult for him.

Jiang Xia didn't care about the casting, except for the protagonist he will play, the other actors are all handed over to Qianqiu Pictures.

The advantages of setting up a large company are reflected, and there are all kinds of talents, which can liberate his work.

After that, Jiang Xia went to ask a lot of historical experts to study some details of the Qin Dynasty.

"Why did you shoot the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang and not shoot Qin Shi Huang alone?" Zhang Pengpeng asked Jiang Xia curiously.

"Qin Shi Huang? Which period did you shoot him? The period when he was a proton? It's too bad, isn't it? The attack on the Six Kingdoms is not a personal battle, he can't be the protagonist, so what's the difference with me now? If you take him as the protagonist, it's not impossible, but what is shown is not the might of the Qin Emperor, it is better to write from the side like this, which can show the power of this emperor through the ages. Jiang Xia explained.

Halfway through the script, when Meng Yi went to get the medicine, Jiang Xia thought of the Great Qin Army Formation, and then thought of Zhang Yimou's first blockbuster "Hero".

"Hero" can reflect traditional Chinese culture very well, and it also tells the story of the Qin Dynasty, but it is about the assassination of Qin.

The moment he thought of "Hero", Jiang Xia wanted to change the movie.

But in the end, Jiangxia did not change.

I want to change it because "Hero" is much more than "Myth", and it is much more than "Mythology".

didn't change it because Jiang Xia really wanted to show the picture of the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang.

He also feels that there is an overlap between the crowd tactics of "Hero" and "Full of Golden Armor", which is far less technical than the military battle in "Mythology".

There are goofs in the movie "Myth", the most typical of which is the cavalry.

In the biggest war scene in the movie "Myth", Meng Yi led the cavalry to save people, and all the horses had saddles and stirrups.

Jiang Xia didn't know when the saddle was invented, but he knew that there must have been no stirrups at that time.

The reason why there were still chariots in that era was because the power of cavalry was not fully demonstrated, and at this point, Jiang Xia decided to follow the ancient method and redesign the details of that battle.

For this reason, Jiang Xia specially invited three military experts and three historical experts to Qianqiu Pictures to discuss how to shoot this scene.

Drawings of some details of the military formation were drawn, and the photographer was also present, and began to imagine how the shots would be arranged according to the drawings.

Jiang Xia also began to think about how to turn the military formation into a camera and show the might of the Great Qin army.

In August, Gong Shan dragged Zhang Pengpeng and Natalie, carried a camera, and set off directly for a trip to make her own documentary.

Jiang Xia joked that she didn't even think about what she wanted to shoot and was going to shoot, but Gong Shan said that it didn't matter, she remembered what to shoot.

She took the two of them to go freely, and Jiang Xia had a headache in Qianqiu Pictures how to shoot the military formation.

It took more than a month to design the military formation.

Some of the details of Daqin's design, including costumes and etiquette, are also recorded by the crew, and when they go back to filming, they have to consult a few experts.

In November, "Gravity" was released.

This is Jiang Xia's second movie released this year, the first one should be regarded as the second part of "Initial D", neither movie starring Jiang Xia, one is a supporting role, and the other can only be regarded as a cameo.

The second part of "Initial D" did well at the box office, Jiang Chenxi's surprise appearance pulled a lot of box office, and there is really no love story interspersed in the movie, it is purely racing, very professional and bloody racing, and people who watch it have a surge of adrenaline.

Jiang Chenxi also received a lot of movie invitations because of this, but she herself did not accept it, she graduated with a doctorate last year, so she went to a university in Beijing to apply for a job, and became a researcher at a research institute, she was stunned, she will not take the road of the entertainment industry, and it is okay to make occasional cameos, she herself is not here.

The release of "Gravity" also made everyone see the determination of Jiang Xia and Gong Shan to rush to the Olympics, this is simply a battle against the water, Gong Shan's last movie, or a movie that highlights her throughout, if the Olympics are not successful, it can only be said that the fate is missing.
