Chapter 326: The Rallying Cry
At the invitation of Feng Xiaogang, Wang Meng came to the capital to watch "Assembly". Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
"The Assembly" has not yet been officially released, and even the premiere has not been held.
Today's viewing of the movie is nothing more than Feng Xiaogang finding many peers to see how the film reviews are, and he has a good bottom in his heart.
"Let me introduce to you, this is Zhang Hanyu, the protagonist Gu Zidi, this is Wang Baoqiang, this is Li Chen, this is ......" Feng Xiaogang introduced Wang Meng.
"I won't talk about Deng Chao and Ren Quan, you all know each other, and now that Xiao Deng is filming at your place, I won't introduce it. Feng Xiaogang said.
There are Ren Quan and Deng Chao in "Assembly Number", these two Wang Meng know each other, so naturally they don't need to be introduced.
"Hello Director Wang, I'm Zhang Hanyu. "The tough guy Zhang Hanyu is still unknown now, of course, he is not famous, at least he has been nominated for the Golden Horse, and he is still the actor.
Is it now? Not the Golden Horse actor after "The Assembly", what everyone knows the most before is the policeman he played in "No Thieves in the World".
"Hello, there are not many tough guys in China, Director Feng has a good eye, Mr. Zhang's tough guy style is right, very good, we are very short of such characters in China. I hope to have the opportunity to cooperate. Wang Meng is very interested in Zhang Hanyu, so he naturally does not hesitate to say good things.
"Flattered, flattered, Director Wang just called me Xiao Zhang, Mr. Zhang didn't dare to call me this title. Zhang Hanyu said excitedly.
I never expected Wang Meng to be so easy to speak, and he didn't look domineering at all.
Zhang Hanyu is not a newcomer, not young, he has been unknown for many years, so he knows how to be a man, and he has seen many young people who don't know the height of the sky because of a little reputation.
I thought that Wang Meng, the pride of the sky, would be domineering, but I didn't expect to be so easy to speak.
It seems that Wang Meng, who has such a high achievement for a long time, is not accidental, just look at this attitude towards the world, very low-key and not arrogant.
"Huh...... Okay, just a name, there's no need to see outside. Wang Meng waved his hand.
"It's just, there's no need to see outside. Feng Xiaogang cleared the siege.
Wang Meng's youth is terrible, but his achievements are outrageous, causing the older ones to always feel uncomfortable, and they dare not dare to accept the big and have to admit the small.
As for Wang Meng, he doesn't like to be famous, so he pretends to be forced. I don't like to call people Xiao Wang, Xiao Liu, Xiao Zhu.
But, the status is here, you can't handle it if you don't handle it, in short, it's troublesome.
"Qiangzi, you have to thank Director Wang, if he hadn't picked up "Soldier Assault", your kid would still be unknown. Feng Xiaogang said to Wang Baoqiang.
Wang Baoqiang belongs to Feng Xiaogang, of course, Zhang Yimou also has a role.
Therefore, after becoming famous, Wang Baoqiang, every time he celebrates the New Year, he will bring hometown specialties to visit Feng Xiaogang and Xu Fan.
Not only that, Wang Baoqiang is very popular, honest, unfancy, and stupid, so they all like him.
During the filming of "No Thieves in the World", Andy Lau and Rene Liu took good care of him, and Rene Lau simply treated him as his younger brother.
Seriously, "Soldier Assault" has made Wang Baoqiang.
Because the "Soldier Assault" in this life was excavated by Wang Meng, Wang Baoqiang really thanked Wang Meng.
"Director Wang, I am Wang Baoqiang, you can call me Qiangzi and Baoqiang, thank you Director Wang for your encouragement, I ...... I thank Director Wang. Wang Baoqiang said nervously with a big grin.
"Okay, I'll call you Qiangzi, I recognize your brother, do it well, I have a good script, I have time to contact it, how about filming a movie for my company next year?" Wang Mengdao.
"Uh...... I ......" Wang Baoqiang was directly dumbfounded, what kind of rhythm is this?
"Silly boy, what are you going to pay back, promise, Director Wang can still pit you?" Feng Xiaogang on the side couldn't stand it.
Knowing that Wang Baoqiang had never seen the world, Wang Meng was frightened when he said this.
I was afraid that Wang Meng would be unhappy, so I hurriedly agreed for him.
Speaking of which, when Wang Meng saw Wang Baoqiang, he remembered "All the Way".
"All the Way" was filmed in 2010, and now it is only 07 years, and the screenwriter may not necessarily write the script.
The film is a bit influential to say, but not much. But the follow-up is amazing, and naturally Wang Meng, who has "foresight", will not let it go.
And Xu Zheng has not done much in DreamWorks in the past two years, and some time ago he told Wang Meng that he wanted to try to be a director himself, although he had previously filmed the TV series "Li Wei as an Official".
But the movie really didn't do it.
Seeing that Huang Bo, Ning Hao, Guo Tao and others who were in the dream factory together were getting more and more bullish, he was naturally very depressed.
So I want to continue to be a director.
It just so happens that Wang Meng knows Xu Zheng's future, and "All the Way" is the most suitable for Xu Zheng to practice.
It's the end of this year, and Wang Mengdu is like this year.
And the movie "All the Way", if it leaves the homecoming tide of the Chinese New Year, it will definitely not have that much influence.
In order not to spoil such a plot, I had to shoot next year, anyway, for the next few years, Wang Baoqiang didn't do much, he got Nezha, and it was a failure, and then it became a funny group.
happens to shoot "All the Way" next year, which can be regarded as giving Baoqiang a way in advance.
"I ...... I do, I do...... Wang Dao. Wang Baoqiang said excitedly.
And everyone on the side is very envious, look at this stupid buddy, what a fool is really a fool.
"It's okay, Hadron is very realistic, I like his character. Hehe......" Wang Meng said with a smile.
One by one, I got acquainted with the leading actor of "The Assembly" for a while.
Feng Xiaogang led Wang Meng into the screening hall, and after a while, Wang Zhongjun and Wang Zhonglei also came.
As Huayi's annual drama, "Assembly" is very important to Huayi.
The two Wang brothers were very enthusiastic about Wang Meng, and they were even more emotional when they saw Wang Meng.
A few years ago, he was still a small director, and when Wang Zhonglei went to participate in "Crazy Stone", Wang Meng was still a small person.
But this little man has been running too fast, and he has been on an equal footing for two years, even better than them.
It's not worse than being rich, it's more than fame, it's not bad than Wang Meng, maybe the only thing that can be compared is that the company has been established for a long time.
"The Assembly" tells such a story:
In the Huaihai Battle in 1948, the battle between the Chinese People's Liberation Army and the Kuomintang army was unprecedentedly fierce. Gu Zidi, the commander of the Ninth Company, accepted the task of blocking the battle, and he agreed with the regiment commander to use the assembly call as the order to retreat, and if the assembly call was not sounded, the whole company must hold out until the last moment. In an abandoned old kiln, 47 soldiers fought bravely, and after all, the firepower was outnumbered, and Gu Zidi watched his comrades die one by one but could not do anything.
The platoon commander Jiao Dapeng was Gu Zidi's right and left man, and before he died, he said that he heard the rallying cry and asked Gu Zidi to retreat with the few remaining brothers. Gu Zidi found that the friendly troops had already retreated, and he suspected that he had ignored the trumpet, causing his comrades to lose their lives in vain. Shocked and guilty, he rushed out of the kiln with his explosives bag and went to the enemy trenches alone. The rest of the warriors were eventually killed.
After being wounded, Gu Zidi was captured by the People's Liberation Army as an enemy soldier. It was only in the hospital in the rear that he learned that his original unit number had been cancelled, and it was not only difficult for him to prove his true identity, but even the 47 brothers who died in the war would be considered missing......
Gu Zidi managed to join the PLA artillery unit and follow the team's footsteps in the north and south, and his only motivation for survival was only to restore the honor due to his dead comrades. Even if time flies, even if history has gradually been forgotten, the unforgettable brotherhood has not diminished at all, and in Gu Zidi's mind, what is always vivid is the image of his brothers: Wang Jincun, Jiang Maocai, Lu Kuangou, etc.
Poor and uncertain riverside bones, like a person in a deep dream. As persistently looking for Gu Zidi is Sun Guiqin, the wife of instructor Wang Jincun. It wasn't until she met Guzidi that she was convinced that her husband had died in battle. The two who have been wronged share the same grief and faith, and they embark on a journey of verification together. Gu Zidi introduced Sun Guiqin to his best friend Zhao Erdou when he was in the artillery unit and witnessed them tie the knot.
When they finally returned to the old kiln where the bloody battle took place, they found that the battlefield site had been destroyed beyond recognition by coal mining. Except for the valley field, no one knows, or even believes, that just under this kiln, there are dozens of warriors who died heroically. Gu Zidi digs like a mountain of coal mines, and he wants to let the truth come out no matter what.
In the end, this kiln was discovered during the construction of water conservancy in the Wenhe River, and the 47 remains inside were confirmed to be all the soldiers of the 9th Company of the 139th Regiment of the 2nd Division of the Central Plains Field Army. In the end, Gu Zidi and his 47 comrades-in-arms were awarded the honorary title of Battle Hero.
After watching it again, it is the same as the previous life, the same wonderful, the same shock.
After watching it, I can't help but sigh, it's very touching, a cross-era Chinese Anti-Japanese War movie.
Feng Xiaogang fulfilled the promise he said before - a different anti-Japanese war film.
"Bang Bang Bang ......"
After watching it, many people were still immersed in the film, Wang Meng took the lead in applauding, to be honest, Feng Xiaogang is indeed a character.
This movie is really good-looking, and it is a movie that has been on "News Network".
Wang Meng's achievements are great, but Wang Meng has never been on a platform like news broadcast, so he is a little envious.
"Brother Hanyu, the actor-level interpretation is very good-looking. Director Feng admired. Wang Meng knew the achievements of "Assembly", so he couldn't help but blow it, anyway, he was destined to be afraid.
This year's Golden Horse, including next year's Golden Rooster Awards, Zhang Hanyu won the title of actor by virtue of "Assembly Number". Wang Meng's "Painted Skin" will also participate in the competition.
But Wang Meng knows that in "Painted Skin", the role of Huo Xin cannot win the actor, this male protagonist is too dispensable.
However, Zhou Xun has already been nominated for the Golden Horse Actress, and "The Assembly" has also been nominated for many awards in the previous nomination.
Zhang Hanyu had become a little popular because of the Golden Horse Best Actor nomination before, and now Wang Meng said that he was happy for his actor-level performance, and Wang Meng's vision didn't seem to be wrong.
So?
Maybe?
The more Zhang Hanyu thought about it, the happier he became.
"Brother, how about a look?" Feng Xiaogang is a face-saving person, he was very happy to see Wang Meng praise like this, and wanted to hear Wang Meng's opinion.
"The Assembly" It is a very different Chinese war film, this war scene is comparable to Hollywood war movies, not to create heroes who regard death as home, but with profound humanistic care, the insignificance of the individual in the face of war and politics to build the context of the film, the cruelty of the war in the early stage, let people see a group of flesh-and-blood soldiers, their real fear and collapse in the face of war, and in the later part of the rallying cry sounded by his life, let the audience really remember the heroic spirit that was condensed with life。 It's very epochal and beautiful. ”
Wang Meng gave a little opinion based on the comments of the previous life and his own views this time.
"Haha......"
Feng Xiaogang smiled. said: "Brother, what you said is so right, I just have enough of the invincibility of our soldiers, and if you do a hundred, you can't beat ...... death."
Feng Xiaogang complained for a while, obviously he was also thundered by the domestic drama.
"Director Feng, haven't you noticed how many little gangsters?" Wang Meng said.
"Oh!" Feng Xiaogang was taken aback, and hurriedly asked, "Where? ”
Movie goofs are inevitable, after all, they are not gods, and when editing, watching a movie for half a month, everyone will be numb, and everyone will make mistakes.
So, you can always see a lot of goofs.
"I don't know if I'm right, you're looking here:-After the battle, Jiao Dapeng went into the house to report the casualties to Guzidi, and he put the gun on the platform, and then he could see that there was nothing on the platform. But when the camera turned, there was an extra teapot on the table. But when the camera turned again, the teapot was gone.
And on the Korean battlefield, Zhao Erdou accidentally stepped on a mine, and at this time you can see that there is only a little snow on his steel helmet. But when the grain went to check, the snow on the steel helmet suddenly increased. In order to save Erdou, Gu Zidi held down the mine regardless of his personal danger. At this time, an object can be seen hanging from his left shoulder. But in the close-up, the thing is gone again. Since Lao Gu stepped on a mine, who took it away?
Here, too, after the war, Gu Zidi has been tirelessly looking for a brother from the 9th Company, who came to a coal yard and worked here. One day, he was alone in the coal pile looking for the dead brothers of the 9th Company when he was stopped by a coal miner. Lao Gu pushed him to the ground. At this time, it was obvious that the hat on the worker's head had been turned off. But as soon as the camera turned, the hat was miraculously put on the worker's head.
Here, because Wang Jincun was not included in the early stage, at the end of the film, when Erdou's daughter-in-law opened the notice and read it to Lao Gu, the notice said "46 comrades", and the dubbing was changed to "Meng Shiling and other 47 comrades ......".
Wang Mengyue said that Feng Xiaogang was sweating more and more, and Nima had more than a dozen places.
"Well, I looked at it and found it, I don't know if it's right. Wang Meng said 'modestly'.
Actually, someone pointed out in the previous life, but it was just a memorization.
However, Feng Xiaogang was scared, and he hurriedly rewinded it over and over again, and finally felt cold in his heart.
was originally a strange scene, knowing that even if his "Assembly" was very good, the box office designation could not surpass "Painted Skin". I was very excited to hear Wang Meng's praise just now.
After all, this is not a compliment from ordinary people, this is a compliment from the current domestic director, or a compliment maintained by the box office.
I wasn't happy for a while, and I was out of mood because of the goofs pointed out by Wang Meng.
It's okay to say that it can be changed.
There are a lot of places where unless you remake it, you can't do it, you can only release it like this.
Wang Meng didn't know how they got it in the end, anyway, he did his best.
Later, Wang Meng learned that Feng Xiaogang had changed everything he could. There was really no way, so I had to grit my teeth and release it.
However, in the end, I called Wang Meng for half an hour to express my gratitude.
