As the most magnificent and brilliant history in China for 5,000 years, if you want to interpret it through movies, you naturally have to have an epic cast.

After Yang Ming told the old dean about his ideas and ideas, as well as the plan for casting in his mind, he directly frightened the old man, but after a while, the old man seemed to have returned to his youth, and his blood was boiling, and he couldn't wait to do a big job.

"If it weren't for my old arms and legs, I really couldn't move, otherwise I would have gone up and had a good time!" said the old dean with a sigh.

Although the old dean has been engaged in education at the Yenching Film Academy for decades, he has also had many director's works, and even had the experience of making cameo appearances in some roles, so after listening to Yang Ming's huge shooting plan, he was inevitably a little moved in his heart.

However, the old lady obviously did not give herself to her husband.

"It's just you, I guess you're not qualified, but your name has never been associated with the Golden Dragon Award. The old lady had been sitting on the sofa just now listening to Yang Ming chatting with the old dean, and at the same time she was helping Yang Ming peel apples, just at this time, she peeled one, handed it to Yang Ming, and continued to hit the old dean: "This is a Golden Dragon Award-level cast, if it is about the same as me, Yang Ming, do you say yes?"

When Yang Ming heard the old lady's words, he was almost so frightened that he didn't dare to pick up the apple, he really didn't dare to answer.

In desperation, he snorted a few times, took the apple and lowered his head to eat.

"Hmph!" When the old dean heard his wife's words, his old face was not a little different, which showed that after years of training, his psychological quality was already very good.

It is true that he is highly respected in the film education industry, but there are really not many works he can get his hands on, unlike the old lady who also won the Golden Dragon Award for Best Actress back then.

At this time, the old lady asked Yang Ming kindly: "When the time comes, if there is a role suitable for your master and wife, don't forget me, in terms of acting skills, I am not inferior to anyone." ”

Yang Ming listened to these domineering and confident words, and sighed in his heart, the old lady does have the strength to say this, and in his opinion, the older generation of artists may not be as good as the current emperor superstar in terms of popular elements.

But in terms of the quality and professional skills of an actor, the older generation of artists is definitely much stronger than the so-called many big-name stars now.

"Definitely, definitely. He quickly nodded in promise.

When the old dean saw Yang Ming's appearance, he snorted slightly unhappily in his heart, but the old lady's eyes widened, he pursed his lips and didn't say anything more.

Next, because the old lady was interested, she began to ask Yang Ming how she was going to shoot this drama, and the old dean did not continue to read the script, but participated in to discuss the gains and losses of Yang Ming's script.

"It's impossible to completely copy history, and if it is filmed like that, it will be just a historical documentary, and it will not conform to the current development trend of films. Yang Ming thought about it and said seriously.

Although he desperately wants to make films with a distinct Chinese culture become the dominant player in the global film market overnight, it is obvious that this is definitely impossible.

If you really want to shoot in strict accordance with history, not to mention foreign audiences, even local audiences will not buy it, and it is estimated that they will be drowsy to watch.

It is necessary to add commercial elements that have proven successful in commercial films.

"Talented and beautiful women, beautiful women and handsome guys, this is indispensable; war scenes, thousands of troops, arrows raining down, these can be made with special effects; in addition, the heads-up of military generals can also add elements of kung fu, but they can't be exaggerated!" Yang Ming said his thoughts one by one.

But he still didn't feel enough, he thought about the two classic Three Kingdoms films and television in his previous life, and compared them, Yang Ming said hesitantly: "I want to make another character in addition to Zhou Yu and Zhuge Liang and Cao Cao's fighting methods, and make the Three Kingdoms have anti-war significance through this character, which is very popular abroad." ”

"Well, that's a good idea. When the old dean heard Yang Ming's suggestion, he nodded brightly.

To be honest, the role of Sun Shucai in Director Wu's "Red Cliff" in his previous life is a similar role.

The character of Sun Shucai has no one else in history, he is completely a virtual character created by Director Wu and the screenwriter at that time, and then the innocent and poignant friendship between him and Sun Shangxiang. , which is also a highlight.

Of course, the phrase 'You're not stupid, you're honest.' The lines are also one of the important reasons why many people remember the role of Sun Shucai.

In the previous life, countless fans were shocked by the wide opening and closing of "Red Cliff", the magnificent and spectacular war scenes, but they were also shocked by Lei Ren's lines that continued to be thunderous on the outside and tender on the inside, and they were also embarrassed by Yu Liang's broken back to the end.

That's why the film got an unprecedented 3 at the time. The impressive box office result of 200 million is enough to go down in the history of the Chinese film industry, but it is an important reason for the mixed reception in terms of word of mouth.

What Yang Ming has to do is to keep the classics of his previous life, and carefully modify the places that the audience complains about.

Especially for the lines, he has to arrange people to scrutinize sentence by sentence.

The historical span of the Three Kingdoms is very large, and even if there are two movies, it is impossible to combine all of the Three Kingdoms, so this movie revolves around the Battle of Chibi.

"Are you going to make this movie in 3D?" the old dean suddenly asked a question.

Yang Ming was stunned when he heard this, then reacted, thought about it seriously, shook his head, and said: "No, although some of these scenes will have better visual effects if they are filmed in 3D, it is not worth the audience spending twice as much money to buy this ticket." ”

The most magnificent scene in "Red Cliff" is undoubtedly the ancient war scenes, such as the straw boat borrowing arrows, burning the serial boats and other famous historical classic scenes, even so, Yang Ming feels that there is no need to shoot in 3D, without air combat, there will be no three-dimensional war pictures, filmed in 3D, even if the visual effects are good, it is very limited.

And even if it is 2D, Yang Ming believes that the picture and vision will not belong to any commercial blockbuster.

In the previous life, those unscrupulous film companies, making a movie casually, used 3D to cheat money, Yang Ming also suffered from it, and in this life, he didn't want the special 3D version of China in his previous life to bring it to this life.

The three of them discussed the script and characters of "Red Cliff" all morning, and at noon, Yang Ming did not leave, helping the old lady to make lunch together, and solved it on the old dean's side.

The old dean was happy, and took a bottle of good wine that had been treasured for many years and drank a few glasses with Yang Ming.

After eating lunch and resting for a while, the old dean didn't take a lunch break and continued to discuss the plot of "Red Cliff" with Yang Ming.

With the previous life version as the backbone, Yang Ming only needs to modify some bugs in this life, but what makes him more entangled in his heart is the role of Sun Shucai, whether to further sublimate it.

If that happens, Uncle Sun will become a supporting role in the movie that cannot be ignored, and after the release, will the majority of Three Kingdoms fans accept this role.

Regarding this problem, not only Yang Ming, but also the old dean has no bottom in his heart.
