Chapter 190: Kefan Listens

Don't get me wrong, Pao Hui and Huiwen Tianxia have no intention of using Zhang Yimou's private life to make a big fuss.

There is no need!

If you really want to talk about private life, Pao Hui's waves are famous in the whole circle, Zhang Weipin has also received some rumors, he can abide by the basic qualities of an insider, and he is silent, why can't Xu Hui do it?

How so?

Pao Hui has always wanted to pull Zhang Yimou into the world of Huiwen, even if it is just under the company's banner!

What's more, the company doesn't have a veteran filmmaker in charge, so it always seems to be unconfident!

Originally, Brother Chen Kai was a good candidate, but unfortunately, Xu Hui and Huang Wen didn't like him, signing him, in addition to the possibility of a rise in the stock price in a short period of time, once his movie came out, wait for the stock price to plummet!

"The Taoist Priest Descends the Mountain", "The Legend of the Demon Cat"...

All kinds of losses!

Huiwen has no plans to build a film and television city for the time being...

If you want to win over Zhang Yimou, the first thing to consider is his pillow person!

Zhang Yimou is quite speechless, his life has nothing but movies!

In addition to film creation, Zhang Yimou's mantra is: I don't care. To put it bluntly, even if I'm annoyed, I can't handle it. So he recognized Zhang Weipin, an acquaintance, as the boss, and Lao Mouzi worked for him.

Zhang Yimou's father expressed his views on Zhang Weipin to his son many times before his death: Don't get too close to him, this kind of person is deep in the city, you can't play with him.

Even his friend Ken Takakura once said something in a letter to Zhang Yimou, to the effect that he must adhere to his inner pursuit of art and not be bound and controlled by the producer.

When the old lover Gong Li was filming "The City is Full of Golden Armor", there was such a clause in the contract: refused to meet Zhang Weipin and his wife during the entire filming and publicity process!

From family members, friends to former lovers, all of them expressed their disgust for Zhang Weipin.

Zhang Yimou has always insisted on cooperating with him, men's singles because of money?

Later, the 'gourd baby' incident broke out, and Zhang Yimou's income became transparent. After more than ten years of cooperation, Zhang Yimou has made five movies in a row from "Hero" to "Three Guns", and only received more than 10 million salaries.

Tsk, the global box office of "Hero" and "Ambush on All Sides" alone has broken 2 billion!

As for "The Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling", Lao Mouzi is 0 salary!

According to the propaganda, with an investment of 600 million, the new picture has lost money, Lao Tzu has lost money, and he will give you money for Mao?

Such a director is simply every investor's favorite!

The box office is 2 billion, and I only got a salary of 10 million, damn it, this return on investment...

Xu Hui firmly believes that the old mouzi at this time should have been tired of Zhang Weipin - various media reports, especially the accusation of the bed scene.

This thing has already involved a director's artistic bottom line!

During the publicity period of "The Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling", Zhang Weipin grabbed Nini and Christian Bale's bed scene to publicize it, and Zhang Yimou was once furious: the theme of the movie is anti-Japanese, and the subject matter itself is sensitive, and it took a lot of hard work to shoot it and pass the review. Isn't it shameless for you to use such vulgar propaganda?

Of course, if "The Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling" can win the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film or the Golden Globe Award for Best Foreign Language Film, then everything is easy to say...

It's a pity that Xu Hui knows this history, and "The Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling" is not even qualified to be shortlisted, as if it was abandoned in the second round of voting...

By the way, the breakup between the two is quite fun, Zhang Yimou wrote a letter to Zhang Weipin...

……

"Kefan Listening" is a talk show positioned as an elite culture, which is a bit similar to "Interview with Yang Yan", however, the coverage of "Kefan Listening" is not as wide as "Interview with Yang Yan", he is a program positioned in Shanghai, because his broadcast platform is the art and humanities channel of Shanghai TV.

The ratings are high!

Especially in Shanghai, it ranks in the top three all year round!

The host is Cao Kefan.

It's quite embarrassing, in fact, because Cao Kefan played a small role in "The Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling", which is the Japanese translator, and there are very few shots...

Everyone knows the 'hostile' relationship between "Jinling Thirteen Hairpins" and "New Dragon Gate Inn".

There is no way, Xu Hui wants to use the other party to promote the movie, and the other party also wants to use Xu Hui's influence to expand the ratings of the show, the best of both worlds!

met Cao Kefan, the two chatted briefly for a few words, and then the show started.

The scene of the show is a study room with a simple layout, and there is no audience, and the two sit opposite each other.

"Director Xu Hui, hello, "New Dragon Gate Inn" has been released nationwide, the box office is very gratifying, it won a box office score of 220 million in three days after its release, and the audience response is also very good, Director Xu Hui has debuted for four years and has made five or six movies, so what does "New Dragon Gate Inn" mean to you?"

Cao Kefan's hosting style is like this, no nonsense, straight to the point.

It is estimated that this has something to do with the length of the show, 20 minutes, plus interstitial commercials, opening credits, and end credits, the real broadcast time is only about 15 minutes, even if it is cut into two episodes, it is only half an hour...

Let's pick up some of the questions that the audience is most concerned about!

"Maybe it's just a self-challenge. ”

Xu Hui pondered for a few seconds, and then replied: "First of all, I think 3D and IMAX will be the development trend of future films, martial arts movies as the most Chinese film genre, how to adapt to the new development needs? How to make more audiences willing to go to the theater to watch movies? The emergence of 3D is an opportunity, through 3D, we don't have to depict the environment, the audience can naturally substitute for it, the combination of 3D and Chinese martial arts I think I have always realized my long-standing idea, that is, to show the real martial arts world in front of the audience!" ”

"I watched "New Dragon Gate", with all due respect, I think the two best actors in it should be Wan Qian and Chen Kun, how did you find these two actors?"

Chen Kun is because I met him when I first collaborated on "The Great Cause of the Founding of the People's Republic", and I wanted to cooperate with him at that time. There are many actors in the circle, and there are many who have acting skills, but there are actually very few actors like Chen Kun who have both acting skills and know how to measure, I admire such actors;

"You have worked with so many actors, but rarely with Hong Kong and Taiwan actors, is it because..."

Cao Kefan didn't finish speaking, Xu Hui had already answered: "Actually, this time Zhou Huai'an, I was already preparing to find Mr. Liang Jiahui, he didn't have time, the schedule was full, and then I was looking for Nie Yuan." My requirements for actors are quite simple, first, in line with the image, second, the lines must be said clearly, the common problem of Hong Kong and Taiwan artists is the lack of line skills, that is, Mandarin is not standard, I can't accept this!"

"It can be solved by post-dubbing!"

“… My movies are all simultaneous sound, there is no post-dubbing, besides, other Hollywood actors can speak different dialects, why can't our actors?"

This topic ended here, and Cao Kefan changed directions: "As a director, what do you think is the most ideal actor?"

"The ideal actor?"

Xu Hui frowned, his mind drifted past Man Shen, Gonghuang, Aunt Qingxia and of course Zhang Guorong, and after thinking for about five seconds, he replied: "So far, I am quite satisfied with the actors I work with, because I found them according to the requirements of the role, of course, you have to say the most ideal, this is difficult to define in words, if I meet an actor who needs me to go all out to show her charm, I think it should be the most ideal actor!"

“… I thought you'd say Wan Qian?"

"Of course, Sister Wan is a very good actor, but her performance is still within my control. ”

“… Have you watched "The Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling"? Zhang Yimou also came to our scene some time ago, and he was very satisfied with Bell, saying that he..."

"Well, I looked. ”

“… Did you read it?"
