Chapter 52: Summary

Time is like an arrow, time is like a song, time has entered December 2010, and the most profitable month of the Chinese film market has come. However, only 17 movies were released in a whole month, and the December Chinese New Year stalls, which used to be rushed to the top in previous years, why didn't they be released this year? The answer is because "Let the Bullets Fly for a While" was released.

How good and amazing the film "Let the Bullets Fly for a While" is, how many powerful factions, how many metaphors, and how many things worth talking about, Li Xiuping feels embarrassed not to write a 20,000-word paper, but with the author's slow and half-in-the-palace urine, he may not be able to write 20,000 words in ten days, so he will be exempted here. You just need to remember that this is a good movie, you can watch it at the age of 20, you can watch it at the age of 50, you can watch it as a popcorn movie, you can watch it as an art film, it's just that.

Of course, not all movies avoid "Let the Bullets Fly for a While", in addition to "Let the Bullets Fly for a While", there are three blockbusters that can be called blockbusters in December, namely "Big and Small Jianghu", "Zhao's Lonely Er" and "If You Are Honest Do Not Disturb 6".

"Big and Small Rivers and Lakes" starring Zhao Jiaban and his group, and the director is Zhu Yanping, compared with the other three movies, "Big and Small Rivers and Lakes" is actually not a blockbuster, and the reason why it is pointed out is entirely because the author Jun wants to talk about Zhu Yanping.

For many young audiences, Zhu Yanping is a representative of big bad movies, and they feel that the logic of the movies directed by this person is not logical and messy, but in fact, this is indeed the case. The plot of Zhu Yanping's most famous work "New Wulong Courtyard" is very chaotic, if the movie starring Guo Degang is an embarrassing drama piled up with cross talk jokes, then the movie directed by Zhu Yanping is a farce with inexplicable characters, his movies often pop up a few unrelated characters outside the main line, and then let the protagonist conquer them to defeat them, so it is really a drama to forcibly create conflicts.

However, although Zhu Yanping's directorial level is very bad, he is one of the few commercial film directors in Wanwan, compared with Hou Xiaoxian and Yang Dechang, Zhu Yanping is more down-to-earth, whoever is popular will shoot what, which has made him create a box office record for local films several times, and he has become one of the important directors of the revival of Wanwan films, so his directing ability is not good, but his status is quite high.

Perhaps because low-quality movies can also be blockbusters, Zhu Yanping has no enterprising spirit, and in his nearly 30-year creative career, his directing ability has not made any progress, and it has to be said that it is difficult to do this.

"Zhao's Lonely Two" is a real blockbuster, starring Uncle Ge and directed by Brother Kai.

Brother Kai is really powerful, he is a director who can be compared with the national teacher, in the early years, "Yellow Earth", "Child King", "Fengyue", "Jing Ke Assassinated the King of Qin" are all very good movies, not to mention the masterpiece "Farewell My Concubine". It's just that in recent years, the reputation of his works has not been good, and it is reasonable to say that except for "Wuji", which is really bad, there is no lower limit, and other movies cannot be said to be brilliant, but they cannot be said to be bad movies. The audience's harsh criticism of him is more of a deep and deep responsibility mentality, every time Brother Kai comes out, the audience will compare it with "Farewell My Concubine", and the result is naturally disappointed.

Li Xiuping still respects Brother Kai, even if his directorial level has indeed declined, but it can be seen that Brother Kai is working hard, he has been trying new themes, new shooting techniques, new film technology, he often spends two or three years preparing a movie, try to ask who in China has such patience as him, with this persistence, Brother Kai is still worthy of the audience's expectations.

"If You Are the Truth, Do Not Disturb 6" is a blockbuster, the starring role is still Uncle Ge, and the director is Xiaogang Cannon.

Xiao Steel Cannon is a director who is easy to be ignored by the audience, speaking of a good high-level director in Huaxia, few people will think of Xiao Steel Cannon, many people think that he is a bastard who makes comedy, he is not a fart when he leaves Wang Lance and leaves Uncle Ge, in fact, Xiao Steel Cannon is really level, especially the control of the rhythm of the film, which can be said to have a master-level level.

Xiao Gangcang's early comedies perfectly demonstrated his rhythm control ability, whether it was "Aunt A" or "Not Cheap or Scattered", he handled it just right, a little more verbose, a little less monotonous, so the audience has a feeling when watching Feng's comedy, that is, they will not be tired and laugh very easily.

It's just that Xiao Gangcang is not a director after all, so the details are a little rough, so he has no fate with the director award. However, Xiao Gangcang has not given up the pursuit of film art, he has actually been improving.

Xiao Gangpao BJ, he is not a big yard disciple, compared with other directors in the Beijing circle, Li Xiuping feels that Xiaogang Cannon may have some inferiority complex in his heart, and he has lacked recognition since he was a child, so he needs the affirmation of others very much.

Before the new century, the Beijing circle controlled the review standards of Chinese films, they said that a good movie is a good movie, and a bad movie is a bad movie.

After the rapid development of the Internet in the new century, the right to judge movies has shifted from the bigwigs in the Beijing circle to ordinary netizens. Netizens said that Xiaogang Pao's previous comedies were all joke movies, and he had never made blockbusters, so Xiao Gangpao invited Uncle Ge Liu Dehua to shoot "The World Squid"; netizens said that the national teacher filmed "Yingxiong" and "Shimian Ambush" to establish a new martial arts movie, and Xiao Gangcang couldn't shoot it, so he filmed "Ye Yan"; netizens said that Xiaogang Cannon couldn't keep up with the film creation, his movies didn't have stunts, and Xiaogang Cannon filmed "Assemble Well" and "Tangshan Earthquake".

Li Xiuping also knows that Xiaogang Cannon will make two literary films in a row in the next few years, Xiao Gang Cannon has been changing, he actually cares about other people's opinions, and it is this desire to be recognized that makes him continue to make progress in film creation.

"Let the Bullets Fly for a While" is an absolute blockbuster, starring Uncle Ge and Jiang Wen, no matter which one is worth the audience's money to buy tickets to watch the movie, directed by Jiang Wen.

There are very few films directed by Jiang Wen, but each one is worth detailing, each one has new attempts, and more importantly, each of his films has thoughts, and his films are conveying certain values and worldviews.

Jiang Wen is the kind of director Li Xiuping wants to become, talented, idealistic, thoughtful and persistent, Li Xiuping doesn't know that many people in the crew of "Guilty in the Heart" also think so about him.

Li Xiuping originally planned to complete the live-action shooting in two months, but now two months are almost over, but the second season of "Crime in the Heart" has only filmed three-quarters of the plot, which means that it will take at least half a month to finish. The reason why it is different from the planned time is because Li Xiuping is thinking about how to make "Guilty in the Heart" more exciting and vivid every day, not only the actors in the crew, but also the ordinary staff are also tossed around by Li Xiuping, and this is how much time comes out.

No matter what it is, it will naturally cost more time and more money to be more brilliant, Li Xiuping doesn't care about money, if he spends a few million more to improve his directing ability, he will be happy.

Li Xiuping's spirit of not caring about money moved some of the crew of the second season of "Sin in the Heart", so although Li Xiuping was sometimes annoyed, the whole filming was still going on in an orderly and slow manner.

In the two months of filming, a lot of things happened, the first season of "Guilty in the Heart" was broadcast as high as 220 million people in the first month, Jiang Fangtao, who has a background in the dark @ Dao, called Li Xiuping, saying that he was willing to gamble and lose, and wanted to advertise in the second season of "Guilty in the Heart", he gave a very high price, Li Xiuping refused the request for cooperation, he didn't want to have too much contact with such a person.

The first season of "Sin in the Heart" is getting more and more popular, and Li Yifeng is becoming more and more popular, and now even in the deep winter, the cold wind is shining, and the snow is heavy, there are still dozens or hundreds of fans who go to the set to watch Li Yifeng every day. Wang Longzheng also said that there were signs of Xiaohong, he said that he went to the mall to buy things, and was recognized by many people and asked for a group photo autograph, which made him happy for a while.

Li Xiuping, as the director of the first season of "Guilty in the Heart", has also increased his popularity a lot, and his reputation has also improved a lot under the hype of the water army, in the past two months, there are several brokerage companies that want to sign Li Xiuping, and an independent agent wants to cooperate with Li Xiuping, these companies and agents have been rejected by Li Xiuping, as the boss of the new dream film and television company, how can he sign other companies, isn't that a brain in water? More importantly, he has a plan for the future, and he will not allow others to interfere with him.

In addition, there are some film and television drama production companies that have approached Li Xiuping, and some of them are very good producers, and they want to cooperate with Li Xiuping, and they provide funds for the script, and Li Xiuping will direct it. Li Xiuping rejected these producers, he has his own shooting plan, and he has no plans to change it.

Because Li Xiuping refused the producer of the brokerage company in a row, there were some rumors in the circle that Li Xiuping was not easy to contact for a while, Li Xiuping didn't care, he didn't care about the opinions of strangers.

Li Xiuping has lived his own way during this time, which still makes some people complain, Jiang Shuying is one of them, the two have been together for a long time, Jiang Shuying has a better evaluation of Li Xiuping, but she still feels that Li Xiuping has a personal vendetta in the communiqué and often rectifies her.

Li Xiuping is naturally not so careful, he doesn't have the idea of rectifying Jiang Shuying, but among the main actors, Li Xiuping is indeed the most demanding and strict for Jiang Shuying, but there is a reason for this.

Li Yifeng's performance foundation is poor, even if Li Xiuping wants to break his brain to talk about drama and enlightenment, Li Yifeng can't give a deeper interpretation. And Wang Longzheng's level is high enough, Li Xiuping is a non-professional director, Wang Longzheng's ability is enough to deal with Li Xiuping's requirements, but Li Xiuping does not have such a high training ability to improve Wang Longzheng's performance level, Wang Longzheng wants to make a breakthrough in acting skills, and needs the guidance of a famous director. The rest of Jiang Shuying has a foundation in acting, but her acting skills need to be improved, and her level is just right for Li Xiuping to play, so Li Xiuping has the most requirements for Jiang Shuying.

Jiang Shuying didn't understand her situation and thought that Li Xiuping was targeting her, so even though the two met almost every morning, she still wouldn't give Li Xiuping a good look.

Now the crew's breakfast is sent by Ding Xiang and Jiang Shuying together, Ma Jingfei has been back for a few days, but Jiang Shuying still refused, he left sadly, so now Ding Xiang and Jiang Shuying get up early to deliver breakfast.

Ding Xiang prepared a director's special breakfast for Li Xiuping, which was nutritious and delicious, so Li Xiuping and Ding Xiang had a good relationship.

Today's heavy snowfall, Li Xiuping sat in front of the set and looked at the shooting plan, Ding Xiang and Jiang Shuying ran into the set wearing thick down and shrunk into the set, after the two giggled for a while, Ding Xiang put Li Xiuping's breakfast in front of Li Xiuping, "Director, how long will it take to finish filming?"

"Ten days, why do you ask this?"

"It's New Year's Day in 20 days, so I'll ask if it will be filmed next year?"

Li Xiuping was about to say that it didn't matter the length of time, but he suddenly remembered that on Chinese New Year's Eve he was going to the SH Bund to find Jiang Lingling, and his tone changed, "I will try my best to finish filming before New Year's Day." ”

"At your speed, it's like a dream?" Jiang Shuying couldn't help but retort.

"We can work overtime, um, I've decided, starting today, to shoot two more hours a day. ”

"It's too much, asking so much and working overtime. ”

Li Xiuping smiled slightly, "I can't get used to seeing you bite me." ”

"Hmph, you have to be scared, it's so cold now, who will listen to you in the crew? Unless you add money, hahaha, someone is going to bleed again. ”

"Isn't it a matter of course to work overtime and get paid?

"Psychopathy, loser. Jiang Shuying couldn't get used to Li Xiuping's indifferent attitude, she looked at Li Xiuping and said, "You just wait for bankruptcy." ”
