Chapter 346: Differences
The filming of martial arts and the filming of literary drama are two completely different systems.
With the help of the black technology of the "super idol" system, Zhao Zhenghao's improved directing ability is all-round, but there are still some differences in specific aspects.
For example, Zhao Zhenghao's performance in action direction is not very bright.
There is the original version of the previous life for reference, and Zhao Zhenghao himself is not unable to guide martial arts, but because he has no experience, and the filming of martial arts, even if the safety measures are perfect, there is still a certain degree of danger, and Zhao Zhenghao does not have the confidence to ensure that nothing goes wrong.
Inviting Dragon City to come, in fact, the main purpose is to use his rich experience in martial arts filming to escort the filming of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon".
Even if there is Longcheng, Zhao Zhenghao, Yi Ping, and Xiang Yazhen have also undergone a short period of professional training before, but when it comes to the official shooting, they still have to be slowly grinding one action at a time, one shot at a time, and there is no possibility of improving the shooting speed.
Originally, in Zhao Zhenghao's plan, the filming time prepared for the martial arts drama was one and a half months, and he made a sufficient estimate of the difficulty of filming the martial arts.
The actual shooting, as he expected in advance, was full of difficulties, and the situation was repeated, Zhao Zhenghao himself had two shooting accidents, but fortunately, the safety measures were fully done and there was no major problem.
However, relatively speaking, the martial arts filming of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" was relatively smooth.
On this point, Long Cheng, who has experienced dozens of crews large and small, has the most right to speak.
According to him, it is, "This crew is the one I have participated in, the crew with the most thorough preparation for filming and the most professional participants, which is no worse than the Hollywood A-level production crew I have participated in!"
The film production industry of Dragon Kingdom has developed vigorously in recent years and is catching up with Hollywood in all aspects, but due to the different market systems, cultural habits, and industry traditions, there are still many differences between the operation mode of the crew and Hollywood.
Like the crew of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", the situation of requiring the main actors to start preparing for filming three months in advance is commonplace in Hollywood, but it is rare in Dragon Country.
Actors like Guo Ziping and Zheng Jiaxiao in the right year, 365 days a year, the schedule is almost 360 days, the contracts are one after another, after the filming of a drama, there is no time to take a breath, and they have to rush to the next crew immediately, there is basically no vacancy, and it is impossible for them to prepare for a drama a few months in advance.
Zhao Zhenghao's current status in the Dragon Kingdom film circle is comparable to Guo Ziping and Zheng Jiaxiao, but his situation is more special, he is his own boss, and he listens to himself in all arrangements, so that he can adjust the time more calmly.
That's it, during the preparation period of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", he also took care of the recording of "The Voice of the Dragon Kingdom".
is really calm, or Yi Ping.
As the most successful actress in the history of Dragon Kingdom films, Yi Ping really did her own thing, started work when she came across a script she liked, and rested if she didn't have a suitable script.
In the entire Dragon Country entertainment circle, there is only Min Lan who can achieve real ease in life like Yi Ping.
Even Zhao Zhenghao is now burdened with such and such responsibilities, most of the time, many things, can no longer be willful.
Of course, the people mentioned here are specifically referring to the small group of people at the top of the pyramid in the entertainment industry!
Like those who have just entered the entertainment industry, are still struggling at the bottom, and have no resources, they may not have a serious job for most of the year, and their time can be squandered wantonly, which is not among them.
In fact, it is precisely because the current first-line celebrities have grown up from the original Xiaomengxin, and they know the cruelty of the entertainment industry, and it is not easy to make a living in it, so after becoming famous, they still dare not relax in the slightest, for fear that they will be too angry if they are not careful, so they compete one by one.
It is normal for the first-line actors of the Dragon Kingdom to take on two or three scripts every year!
If someone hasn't appeared on the screen for a year and a half and has no public activities, there will definitely be news that he is out of luck.
There are only a handful of people like Min Lan and Yi Ping who have reached a certain status in the entertainment industry and have maintained their own maverick code of conduct from beginning to end.
As for Xiang Yazhen, although she is now a leader among the new generation of actresses, and she has continuous film appointments, it is still a very rare opportunity for her to be able to participate in Zhao Zhenghao's directorial works.
Well-informed insiders already know that Zhao Zhenghao's "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", in addition to consolidating his basic market - the domestic dragon country, as well as the film markets in East Asia and Southeast Asia, should also focus on the European and American markets.
Zhao Zhenghao's first few directorial works, thanks to the excellent quality of the film and the strong appeal of Zhao Zhenghao's top international superstars, have also performed quite well at the box office in the European and American markets.
However, that was just an unintentional insertion, and when those movies were filmed, they did not consider overseas markets and European and American audiences at all.
The good overseas box office performance of those films can only be described as an unexpected joy.
And this "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" is different, when preparing, the European and American markets, especially the three major European film festivals, and the feelings of the Oscar judges have been taken into account.
In a sense, this "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" can be said to be a "Rushing Olympics" film!
Zhao Zhenghao chose to shoot it, the main purpose is not the box office, but to impact the awards, especially the three major European film festivals and the Oscars.
In the Dragon Kingdom film circle, Zhao Zhenghao, who has climbed to the highest peak, began to look at the world.
Of course, due to the rapid development of Dragon Kingdom movies in this world, the basic plate has been made big enough to be not inferior to Hollywood, and Zhao Zhenghao does not need to go to Hollywood to develop if he wants to go to the world here, but the necessary bias and compromise still need to be taken the initiative.
Although the core of the story and the form of expression of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" are very charming, the way the story is told, the setting of some characters, and the content of the story have a deep Hollywood imprint.
Although the original director of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" is Chinese, he studied and worked in the United States, and he has a clear understanding of Hollywood, so he can shoot such a classic with both Eastern and Western characteristics and can be accepted by the majority of European and American audiences.
Zhao Zhenghao's version of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", although some clips and plots have been slightly adjusted due to the innovation and improvement of film shooting technology, as well as the difference in the background of the times, the general framework of the film still comes from the original version.
