Chapter 568: Let it go
"As a movie that challenges women's rights to men's rights, "Overlord Flower" can't say how exciting it is, but it does create a movie genre, once again proving that what men can do, women can also do, even if it is a bloody scene......" Reading this, Li Xu couldn't help it anymore, sneered, and then touched Li Jianqun next to him: "What do you think, Jianqun?" ”
"Don't make a fuss......," Li Jianqun, who closed his eyes and recuperated, muttered unhappily, "I was just busy with the costumes of "A Chinese Ghost Story", and I was instructed by you to watch the movie and write about it, but I didn't sleep well, and I had to meet with the leaders of Shangying in the afternoon." ”
"How many times have I told you that you have to combine work and rest," Li Xu shook his head, looking at the time on his wrist, there were still five minutes before the plane took off, so he picked up the newspaper again.
The ones I just read are Lin Yan Niden's "Overlord Flower" film review on "Ming Pao", this woman is quite interesting, she doesn't care about the bloody scenes that are criticized, and even claims that men can be tortured and killed in movies...... Well, it should be said that heroic sacrifices, of course, women can too
Anyway, Li Xu was shocked, this is going to be put 30 years later, and a group of pseudo-feminists will definitely jump out and shout, it is disrespectful to women to let the supporting actress be killed like that and return to the corpse.
However, feminists born in the thirties and forties are basically supporters of the idea that what men can do, women should also be able to do.
Pseudo-feminism is always pseudo-feminism, only thinking about rights and not obligations, sooner or later it will be beaten back to the prototype.
However, Lin Yanni, who grew up in a place like Hong Kong, where the dross has been retained, can also have this understanding, which still surprised Li Xu a little.
Of course, I was just surprised, after all, although the plot of torture and killing X corpse caught a lot of audiences, the degree of curiosity was indeed a little too much. When "Saving Private Ryan" was released in another time and space, that scene was criticized as very cruel, not to mention that "Overlord Flower" also added X corpses, I don't know if it will push the Hong Kong Electrical Inspection Department to prepare for classification.
In fact, 30 years later, when the top ten bloody scenes and top ten cruel scenes of Hong Kong movies are ranked on the Internet, Lan Jieying's death will inevitably be on the list, and when ranking the top ten fragrant and jade scenes, the "Overlord Flower" series will occupy at least two places.
Don't talk about this, the plane arrived in the magic capital quickly, although it is not a private jet, and the mainland is not open to this, but it is comfortable to charter a first-class cabin. Then, the group took a break at the Peace Hotel, and then went to Shangying in the afternoon.
This time I came naturally for the preparation of "Horror Train", and after a few months of going around, the script has been officially reviewed, and now it is time to choose the actors.
Of course, several female characters have been determined, and the heroine said before that it is Zhu Ling's. And the supporting actress, that is, the original cheerleader, here changed to the assistant of the sports team, Lin Fangbing was selected.
Li Xu originally wanted to use the trick of deciding the winner in bed to choose, but He Ji, Tao Huimeng and Fu Yiwei are all going to act in the movie version of "Dream of Red Mansions", so it is also suitable to use this movie to brush up Lin Fangbing's fame.
There is no suitable candidate for that little girl at present, but this is not in a hurry, there is no Shangying side, but Li Xu already has an idea, and it just so happens that she is going to Yanjing again this time.
As for the male lead......
"These are all the results of our preliminary screening, and Mr. Li can tell us if he has any opinions." The leader of Shangying handed the proposed list to Li Xu, and the first person was suddenly "such a brazen person".
To be honest, Tang Guoqiang is still a cream student, which is in line with Li Xu's requirements, and it is a big deal to take some time to train his manners, and he looks like he is working in a foreign company.
However, Tang Guoqiang has a lot of black history, so let's change someone else to carry this pot, such as ......
"Please give me a copy of their information, and I will analyze it carefully." Li Xu replied.
It just so happens that I am currently in Yanjing, so I can do it all at once this time.
Participated in the preparatory meetings of the two films, Li Xu threw them to Li Qi and Li Jianqun, Li Wei attended on his behalf as a secretary and sorted out the records and handed them to him, while Li Jianqun attended as an art director.
No matter how fast this movie is, it won't start until October or even November, and the number of places in Shangying this year has been used up, and it can only be released next year.
And "A Chinese Ghost Story" will be filmed until mid-August at most, and it is appropriate to take a break after finishing and then devote yourself to the filming of "Horror Train".
Li Xu actually didn't want her to be so busy, but "A Chinese Ghost Story" was just used to brush her qualifications, with him watching, even if there were some problems with the art direction, it didn't matter, not to mention that there was a Xu Ke, and "Horror Train" really let her practice.
Of course, Li Jianqun didn't believe it: "You personally came forward three times in a row to ask for the revision of the design draft of "A Chinese Ghost Story". ”
"But you can admit that the end result is very good." Li Xu naturally smiled and coaxed.
"So you think I'm going to believe it, and you're going to let me do the design for Horror Train?" Li Jianqun immediately asked rhetorically.
"Of course, I'm not very familiar with the mainland." Li Xu laughed.
This is the truth, because the scene has to be moved to the mainland, and many plots have to be modified, such as the group of zombies in military uniforms at Daejeon Station can't appear, and all kinds of mobile phones have to find ways to replace the information they transmit, unless Li Xu plans to play "Sherlock Holmes in 2015" like he did.
In addition, the costumes, the scenes, all need to be in line with this era, he didn't collect much information about this in his previous life, and he definitely needs someone to check it.
Li Jianqun is the best candidate, originally from the mainland, and he is studious, and he has the attribute of a scholar, he has been deliberately cultivated by him for a few years, and he can already play a leading role in "A Chinese Ghost Story".
In addition, the mainland has been yearning for foreign countries in recent years, studied abroad and gilded, and has also done things in the crews of "The Last Emperor" and "1942", not to mention that Li Jianqun does have real talent and learning, and he can give full play to it in the crew.
But...... Hong Kong Zhen, Li Xu actually really wants to make it a science fiction film in the near future, but first, there is already an allegorical movie "Sherlock Holmes in 2015", and secondly, the cost will go up and down, whether it is model special effects or whatever.
What's more, mainland audiences may not be able to understand it, if they want to understand what zombies are, they have already added a lot of things to the script, and they have to believe that the cities and bullet trains shown in it are Chinese, which is too difficult.
Even if Li Xu is filmed for young people twenty or thirty years later, the first thing to do is to have someone watch it, right? It's impossible to throw it into the old paper pile after it is released, and wait for some old wet or someone else to dig it out in the old movie in the future, and then it will be known, right?
So this idea can only be put to the back of the mind for the time being, anyway...... There will be a chance in the future, take your time, there will always be a more suitable movie to carry - it's really not good to move "Love Letter" here, haha.
