The three major domestic directors, Zhang Yimou, Chen Kaige, Feng Xiaogang.

This is recognized!

"Every nation will have two or three masters, and no matter how poor the country is, it has to be supported. The task is simple, there is only one thing, and if you want to shoot it, you have to shoot an epic that is of great value to the understanding of the nation. ”

Feng Xiaogang said this when he mentioned Brother Chen Kai in "I Dedicate My Youth to You" in 2003. At that time, it was exactly ten years before "Farewell My Concubine" won the Palme d'Or, and in the past ten years, "Farewell My Concubine" has been enshrined at the top of Chinese films, and "Yellow Earth", "Singing While Walking", and "The Child King" are also unattainable gods.

It's a pity that two years later, "Wuji", which claimed to have smashed 340 million, was released, and Director Chen Da also ushered in the lowest point of his life with the release of this previously known as a "mythological epic".

Many people in the industry will say that he is "one of the most thoughtful directors of this dynasty, without any excess, and his skill level and personal pursuit are first-class." ’

Of course, it may be because it is too deep, so it is difficult for his works to be accepted by the audience.

This era is like this, a director who is not accepted by the audience is not a good director;

A work that can't sell at the box office is not a good work!

Fortunately, he has accumulated honors in the early stage, and in the domestic circle, it is very important to have qualifications, so even if he collapses "Jing Ke Assassinates the King of Qin" produced by 100 million yuan and smashes "Wuji", there are still people looking for him to film...

Xu Hui has met director Kai Ge, and at the annual commendation meeting of the Directors Guild, he had a brief exchange with Chen Kai Ge.

However, the two can't talk about friendship, after all, Brother Chen Kai is a senior, and Xu Hui has not yet mixed up to the extent of kneeling and licking his seniors, but he just did his duty as a junior, greeted him, and Brother Chen Kai also encouraged him a few words as a senior.

Quite a common greeting.

As an actor, Chen Hong was asked by the director to meet, and it must be because of the role.

said on the phone that there is a play, and I hope Chen Hong can participate.

There's no need for Brother Chen Kai to follow.

What's the matter, worried that Pao Hui will attack his daughter-in-law?

Is it possible? Pao Hui is so bold?

Even if he has the guts, Chen Hong may not be willing!

Are you so worried about your daughter-in-law?

"Director Kai, Sister Chen Hong..."

Xu Hui hurriedly said hello.

"Xu Hui, here, sit down!"

Chen Hong was very polite, and invited him to sit down with a smile, while Brother Chen Kai sat aside, as if looking at him...

I'm going, I haven't heard that a big director has this habit.

Cannon Hui was slightly apprehensive.

……

"Sister Chen Hong, this is the script, you take a look at it first..."

After Xu Hui sat down, he handed over the script.

In fact, the phone has already roughly talked about the image of gold and jade.

For actors, it is an instinct to distinguish characters and whether the characters can be brilliant.

Chen Hong is an actor who has debuted for almost 20 years, can a role be brilliant, can she still see it?

The role of Jin inlaid jade is a typical drama guarantor, but if you can perform a little fur, you can definitely become a hit!

After taking over the script, Chen Hong couldn't wait to look at it.

"Xiao Xu, what kind of story is this?"

Director Chen Kai was very excited when he saw his daughter-in-law, and he was also quite curious and asked.

"Well, this is a story I rewrote based on Hu Jinquan's "Dragon Gate Inn", which is a martial arts film called "New Dragon Gate Inn"... The place where the story takes place is the desert, and the Longmen Inn is the only resting point out of Jiayuguan..."

Xu Hui probably told the synopsis of the story of "New Dragon Gate Inn".

"This is good! Through a given space, the decent and the villains are gathered together, and for a long time its contradictions have been a contest in the shadows, hidden but not revealed, and the undercurrent is surging, forming a tug-of-war of forces! This kind of tug-of-war is very beautiful and tense. If you shoot it, it will look good!"

After all, he is a big director, and he can see at a glance the most attractive thing about the movie "New Dragon Gate Inn"!

In addition to the impeccable interpretation of the actors, the most important thing is that it conforms to the most intuitive understanding of the Chinese people about martial arts and rivers and lakes: the desert and the sand, as well as the sword and the rivers and lakes!

"To borrow your auspicious words, Director Kai, what works have you been preparing recently?"

Xu Hui smiled and glanced at Brother Chen Kai, who was a little silent, and then said: "There are still two months, "Zhao's Orphan" is about to be released, and I am busy doing the later stage..."

Nima, Xu Hui really wanted to slap himself twice.

The special effects team of Chen Kaige's "Zhao's Orphan" line is Base FX, when Lao Song called him to inform him, Xu Hui thought he had heard it wrong, relatively speaking, domestic directors trust Tiangong Chongcai more...

“… I've been a little busy lately, "Zhao's Orphan", a work directed by you and starring Uncle Ge!"

Xu Hui hurriedly made up for it.

"Xu Hui, can I ask, how did you come up with me to play such a role?"

Before Brother Chen Kai could speak, Chen Hong had already roughly skimmed the script, she raised her head, stared at Xu Hui and asked.

“… There are too few actresses in China who can handle this role, and..."

Pao Hui couldn't say any more.

Because he wrote in the character biography of the script that the image of Jin Jiaoyu is 'bold, spicy, and coquettish!'

Do you want Xu Hui to say in front of Brother Chen Kai, 'I think your daughter-in-law has a coquettish side!'

Guess he's going to get?

Pao Hui really thinks that Chen Hong has a bold side, a girl from the Northeast, who is more heroic in itself!

"I'll say it bluntly, I like your play very much, but I guess I can't take it!"

Without waiting for Xu Hui to speak, Chen Hong explained: "I'm not afraid of your jokes, I haven't paid as much attention to acting as before in recent years, firstly, when I am old, secondly, Brother Kai can't do without me!"

“… No, if you like it, you can act!"

Brother Chen Kai interjected.

"I read the script and probably have an impression, can you tell me the specific start date of this drama and how long it is planned to be filmed?"

Chen Hong just smiled, and then asked Xu Hui a question.

"I estimate that filming should start in April next year, and I plan to shoot in the desert, and I may use new technology, and it is estimated that it will take at least half a year to shoot!"

Xu Hui told the truth.

He doesn't understand 3D IMX technology very well, and the half-year shooting cycle is just an estimate, maybe it will take longer!

"That's definitely not going to work, Brother Kai fell in love with a book, called "Please Forgive Me", it is estimated that it will be launched in the first half of next year, I have to help be a producer, I don't worry about handing it over to others!"

Chen Hong said this, which is equivalent to a direct refusal.

Although it is a little regrettable, I don't feel particularly sad.

Originally, Chen Hong's image was more suitable for Qiu Moyan than gold and jade, and looking for her was also because there was really no suitable candidate...

“… That's a pity, I'll have to find another actor!"
