"The Battle of the Red Cliffs of the Three Kingdoms".

This is the name of the script, the old dean naturally knows what it means, a while ago, he helped Yang Ming introduce several well-known experts in the history of the Three Kingdoms who are well-known in the circle, but he didn't think too much about it at that time.

I just thought that I, a student, might be used by the company to shoot a certain movie or TV series, but he really didn't expect that Yang Ming might come to shoot the Three Kingdoms!

The historical significance of the Three Kingdoms in China is extremely clear to every Chinese person.

And what the film and television of the Three Kingdoms series represents in the film industry, every filmmaker is also very clear.

Maybe there are quite a few versions of the TV series of the Three Kingdoms series, but there are almost no movies with the theme of the Three Kingdoms actually filmed!

Even if there have been one or two films, they will not be recognized by the film industry, because they are too rubbish.

Yang Ming found that in the entertainment industry, whether it is in this life or in the previous life, there is a common feature, that is, there are very few films and television of the Three Kingdoms type.

This life seems to be a little more miserable, in the previous life, there was at least a 94 version of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" so that people can feel the style of the Three Kingdoms, but in this life there is no work about the classics of the Three Kingdoms.

Hearing the old dean's surprise, Yang Ming saw that the old dean's eyes were full of worry, and knew that the old dean was worried about himself.

Obviously, why there are not too many Three Kingdoms-type film and television works, this reason is basically known to insiders.

There is only one!

That's five people dare to shoot!

The history of the Three Kingdoms is so magnificent, the famous generals of Wenchen, like the Qing who crossed the river, are innumerable, each of them has the popularity of the eternal, and its spectacular history cannot be simply shot with a camera.

It is not without directors who have tried to shoot films and television of the Three Kingdoms genre before, but not only did the results be miserable, but also attracted countless criticisms and accusations.

This situation, whether in the past life or in the present life, is very prominent.

It can be said that in Yang Ming's memory, among the film and television works of the Three Kingdoms in his previous life, the most classic version of the TV series is CCTV's 94 version of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms".

This is also indisputable.

But the reason why this TV series was able to succeed in one fell swoop back then, in addition to the fact that the drama was really excellent, there were not too many film and television works in that era, and the works filmed by CCTV were the only standard.

However, this old version of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is indeed quite well-made.

It has been popular for decades.

Later, Director Gao was also full of confidence and invited many big names to shoot a new version of the Three Kingdoms TV series, and the ratings were really popular, but the criticism and scolding were simply overwhelming, and I was going to say that the movie version was made, but after four or five years, I didn't even dare to mention it.

Why?

Because there are too many slots.

"Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is one of the four great Chinese masterpieces, which has long been put in a sacred position, and the people who like it are not only ordinary people, but also high-ranking officials, and everyone has a Three Kingdoms of their own in their minds.

Besides, Gao Dao's new version of the Three Kingdoms does have too many slots.

It's impossible to look at directly.

Just in terms of literary dramas, the old version of the Three Kingdoms is about to complete the new version, which is better than many streets.

Among the film works about the Three Kingdoms, John Woo's "The Battle of Red Cliffs" can be watched, but there are still many complaints in it.

As for Liu Tianwang's "Seeing the Dragon and Unloading the Armor", after it was released, even Liu Tianwang couldn't bear the criticism, so that the helmet in the shape of the character at that time was considered to be made by aliens, because the helmet was too much like a flying saucer.

Yang Ming heard the old dean's words, was silent for a while, and then slowly and firmly said: "You can't stop shooting because you don't dare!"

To be honest, he took a big risk to bring John Woo's version of "The Battle of Red Cliffs" to the present world, but the script still needs to be greatly revised.

At least, he thinks that Zhuge Liang in the previous life version is completely unqualified!

And in the confrontation between Jin Handsome and Liang Da Actor, it was a complete defeat, and he was completely suppressed by the character of Zhou Yu, Zhuge Liang seemed to have become Zhou Yu's foil, which made countless bright fans, how could they stand it?

When the old dean heard Yang Ming's answer, he took a serious look at the young student in front of him, and after a while, he sighed in his heart, and had to admit that Yang Ming's bravery and senselessness were useless.

No one knows better than him, what does it mean for Yang Ming to choose a movie of the Three Kingdoms genre?

In fact, in the eyes of everyone, Yang Ming is now famous, as long as he follows the steps, in the next 20 years, he will be the first person in the film industry, if he makes a few more award-winning movies, then his status as a young man in the film industry will become extremely lofty.

But he really didn't expect that Yang Ming would take a huge risk to shoot the theme of the Three Kingdoms.

The old dean is not Niu Hua, just because of the theme of the Three Kingdoms and the luxurious cast, he is attracted by the wonderful future.

As an old man in the film industry, no one knows better than him that shooting a Three Kingdoms type movie can be called the most risky decision for the director.

The old dean looked at the firmness in Yang Ming's eyes, knowing that his young disciple had a decision in his heart, and he would definitely not change it, he sighed and turned the page of the script in his hand, he was going to look at the script and check for Yang Ming, at least when he felt satisfied, he could let Yang Ming start filming.

It's just that the old dean didn't expect that when he opened the script, he didn't see the content, but saw the cast first.

"Lao Bao plays Cao Cao? Hey, Lao Bao's eyes really have the temperament of a hero; Sun Yanjun plays Liu Bei, he is really a good match, he is naturally indecisive; Wu Dong plays Sun Quan, well, I have seen this young man's movie, and his acting skills are good."

didn't see a person's name, the old dean commented on it, and after a while, he immediately reacted, stared at Yang Ming in great surprise and asked, "Do you really want to invite these people?"

At this time, the old dean realized what it meant to really concentrate these actors in one movie.

The core roles are basically all Golden Dragon Award-winning actors, which is too extravagant!

"This must be done!" Yang Ming said affirmatively, "I am ready to invite them one by one, and invite them with my greatest sincerity." ”

He found one thing that in his previous life, whether it was the CCTV film and television version of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" or Lao Wu's film version of "Red Cliff", they were able to succeed one thing in common, that is, their leading actors were all powerful superstars with excellent acting skills.

Perhaps compared with the bright stars in the later movie version of "Red Cliff", the old version of CCTV may have long been outdated in the minds of some audiences.

But you must know that when the old version started filming in the 80s, every actor in it was a film and television actor with solid skills, drama actors, opera masters, and the pillars of various local theater troupes, most of them were old drama bones, and their passion for character shaping and TV series made people feel that this is the Three Kingdoms whenever they watch it!

The actors of the Three Kingdoms movie version of "Red Cliff" are also very good in terms of acting skills, although there are more slots, but the evaluation is not one-sided.

In this life, Yang Ming naturally would not make this mistake!
