Chapter 415: Take your time, don't rush
Of course, Zhang Yimou agreed, what are you kidding, being in charge of the guide of a movie is extremely tempting for anyone who is interested in making a career in the film industry. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
What's more, who is Li Xu, when he joined the crew, he must have been introduced to him above. There are precedents like Wang Jing and Du Qifeng, and Zhang Yimou is not moved.
Of course, he didn't know what the so-called guidance in Li Xu's mouth meant, anyway, it would definitely be more painful than him filming "The Great Wall" in another time and space.
However, Li Xu felt that this was a good thing, and maybe he could give him a good beating and make him understand the importance of the complete story.
In my previous life, there was a very interesting and nonsense gossip about the origin of "Ambush on All Sides".
The reason is that one day a picture flashed in Lao Mouzi's mind, a beautiful image of a blind Maiko and a picture album. And then he slapped his head, and I wanted the whole movie, to get this picture.
As for the story...... Well, shoot a cool one, don't have a long relationship with children, you want the whole drama to run on a horse, and be refreshing.
Of course, a blind girl and a few paintings, plus a running horse, can't turn into a movie, and Lao Mouzi found someone to start refining. So I patted my head again, I was tired of playing with swords in "Heroes", this will make us play with flying knives, well, with flying knives as the core......
So, before the story was written, the picture of the blind Maiko playing with throwing knives in the scene of the album had already been decided. And the core of the story, which was originally determined not to have children's love, turned 180 degrees in order to portray the image of this dancing girl, and it turned into love and conspiracy.
But this is not over, and later the producer said that Anita Mui was moved, and Lao Mouzi was overjoyed, and immediately kicked the dancer aside.
He not only established Anita Mui as the protagonist, but also immediately set up a line as the core of the whole play: "For thousands of years, the rivers and lakes have been men's rivers and lakes, but today I want to say that the rivers and lakes are our rivers and lakes!"
How far is this from the core of the initial plot?But the blind girl is very important, the throwing knife is very important, and this line is very important, so ...... Plot?What is the plot?Can you eat it?Connecting these to make up for it.,Isn't it the plot!
However, Anita Mui died soon after, and this thing was naturally not easy to use, and it was immediately overhauled.
The final result is that there are blind girls, dancers, horse races, throwing knives, big sisters, love, and conspiracy...... Lao Mouzi got everything he wanted to get, but this story was completely unreadable.
When Li Xu saw this at the time, his liver ached faintly, even if you don't know how to tell a story in a movie, it's unreliable to this extent...... However, a lot of the black materials mentioned above are still admitted by Lao Mouzi himself when he did an interview, and he can't wash the floor even if he wants to.
So that's it, there is no guy who won't inflate himself after being picked up, Li Xu simply lifted him a little higher, so that it would hurt more if he fell.
Don't forget, he's going to give him an Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film.
Later, when Kurosawa watched "One and Eight", although he also expressed his appreciation, he was still careful to say that Zhang Yimou was lacking.
Li Xu also understands that if he wants to be replaced by Zhang Yimou during the period of "Qiu Ju's Lawsuit", Kurosawa Akira will definitely not hesitate to accept the pull-down, which is one of his favorite Chinese movies. But now, if you want to change to Zhang Yimou after "The Great Military Parade", it's no problem, and now there is indeed something missing.
"No problem, if you insist, I will use your royal cinematographer, but he also has to be involved, after all, he is the director of my next film. Li Xu said directly to Kurosawa.
Kurosawa understood in seconds that after he was forced to accept Li Xu's invitation, he also looked for some movies produced by Young Master Kujo to watch, and the others were disdainful, but he still praised "Memory Fragments".
As the most famous person in the Japanese film industry, it is easy for him to inquire about some things, and naturally he will not know how Li Xu made movies, not to mention that the original paintings of "The Last Emperor" are still in his hands.
Therefore, this young master Kujou, who really has goods in his stomach and money at the same time, naturally plays any experimental movie he wants.
Of course, he must have other calculations, but Kurosawa is not interested in asking so much, he will agree to be the director, first, because the price of refusal is too great, second, because the other party is willing to invest in his new movie, and third, the material of "The Last Emperor" given by the other party is very attractive, and the rest is left alone.
"As long as Zhang Jun doesn't delay the filming progress, it's fine. Kurosawa concluded.
"Definitely not. Li Xu laughed.
This matter was settled, and after that, it was natural to continue the discussion, and the actors got together from time to time to read the script, anyway, the start time was set for September, and Li Xu gave Akira Kurosawa another three months to shoot, and the time was still very large, so it didn't matter if he prepared slowly.
Just let him hunt slowly.
Well, although Li Xu didn't discuss his play with Li Jianqun in the past few days, after that day, he didn't change the woman around him, and he was still Ma Lan.
Her delicate, weak, gentle and gentle appearance is quite pitiful, neither as reckless and sloppy as Zheng Yiping, nor as cautious as Deng Yiping, just a girl who was accidentally pushed onto a thief ship and couldn't get off, I don't know how Wu Qiong and Han Zaifen compare to her.
Well, I'll talk about this later, although Ma Lan is asked out by him from time to time, he is not always by his side, and it is impossible to sleep every night, and people still have performance tasks.
And Li Xu also has his own things, isn't it? So it's very convenient for him to eat some snacks or something, such as asking Yang Liping out to linger at the Yanjing Hotel for a night, that figure is really good.
As for Deng Qi, she was not busy, Li Xu was worried about how to talk to the crew of "Dream of Red Mansions", so she sent it to the door.
If someone else sprinkled his whole body with water, he might really think it was unintentional, but what about Deng Eyelash...... Hehe. What's more, when she went to the crew of "Dream of Red Mansions" as usual the next day, she tried her best to hang in front of him, and was in the mind of drying Ma Lan, and it happened to be the weekend, so she asked her out.
This is the first mainland actress to be automatically sent to the door, although the others have not resisted in the face of power, although they are also materialistic, at least they have not been so active.
That's why this is an excellent breakthrough, although Le Yun was praised by him, but because she was praised too high, she was quite excluded in the crew, and everyone knew that she was going to Hong Kong as soon as this TV series was finished.
What's more, her mother is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and after being shocked, she immediately put on a look of hugging her thighs, and advertised outside every day that her daughter was favored by the big boss in the United States and would become a big star in the United States in the future.
In the end, the crew leader sent someone to warn that if Le Ma messed around like this again, they would expel Le Yun, so that she could shut up.
Under internal and external factors, Le Yun has almost no friends, and the only few girls who have a good relationship also have their own thoughts.
Therefore, she can only be a benchmark pestle there and tell the girls of this crew where the road to Hong Kong and foreign countries is, but how to walk up is blind.
Now that you have Deng Qi, you can slowly tell them how to go, Mr. Li is still very considerate, even if you can't go abroad, there is a subsidy.
Pimping or something is too ugly, it's just to show them a clear way, saving them the pain of groping alone.
Of course, this also takes time, and Deng Qi is also an ambitious woman, so she went to the crew of "Dream of Red Mansions" several times after that, although she still dangled in front of him from time to time, he didn't react much.
It's Le Yun, after sending the contract over two days later, she practiced harder, probably wanting to prove herself in this way, which is good, at least she hasn't been led astray by her mother.
After staying in Yanjing for almost ten days, Li Xu flew to the magic capital again, while Kurosawa Ming and Li Hanxiang stayed in Yanjing and continued to prepare for "The Last Emperor".
Li Xu is just the boss behind the scenes, and there are still a lot of things to do, it is impossible to keep up with him, and he is not a qualified boss if he does everything.
Li Jianqun, Chen Chong, and Wu Junmei all stayed in Yanjing, and the former had to shoulder the responsibility of clothing design, but also about art design, and like Zhang Yimou, he was jointly responsible for the Japanese side.
Although Li Jianqun also complained several times that such cramming learning is easy to digest, after touching specific things, she immediately threw herself into it, and there were always whimsical ideas bursting out.
Even the fashion designers from Japan were impressed by her, especially after knowing that she had studied under Fukuda Shigeo, it was a pity that she was confined to China in her previous life.
As for the latter two, they are the leading actors, and they must follow the crew, but when he left, he still flew Chen Chong and Wu Junmei once, so as not to always scratch his head in front of him.
Because there are too many women in Yanjing who can hook and flirt, the mainland side also turns a blind eye, and even acquiesces to the convenience provided below, otherwise it is impossible to easily ask Ma Lan, who has a performance task, out.
Coupled with the fact that they all follow the crew, even if everyone knows that they are not clear with him, it is still a bit inappropriate to openly carry out some exchanges.
Therefore, except for making out with Li Jianqun twice, Chen Chong and Wu Junmei have never touched each other at all, even if the former's gaze is resentful, and the latter throws more flattering eyes until they are leaving.
Of course, they won't have any complaints, forty years ago, it was a horn that was raised, and you had to do whatever the master wanted you.
But for the other corner, Li Xu has a different attitude: "Yes, I admit that I do covet the joy of the night, you are so beautiful and so cute, it is difficult for people to look away, but what...... I'm sorry, but I hope I can do something to make you feel better...... In fact, you should also know that it is difficult for people like us to stay for a tree...... I'm not completely free, and even getting married is arranged by my family...... It's better to ask your leader what needs to be done to promote Huangmei Opera, and I can help. It's your business, isn't it? You should make a career, and I'm sure you can......."
