Chapter 411: Keep playing
The final result did not surprise Li Xu, although the other party did not answer in person, but after he returned to Diaoyutai, he received a phone call saying that the above had agreed. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
I can't disagree, they now lack communication channels with the high-level on the other side, especially with Nikolai, Li Xu is willing to help with this, that's really good.
Didn't the veterans he was talking about using Hong Kong to visit relatives rely on him to promote it? "Bloody Battle of Taierzhuang" was suggested by him, the copy was brought over by him, and "The Wrong Car" was also invested by him, so he is simply an angel.
Therefore, no one can find fault in politics to bring the script of "1942" to Wanwan and let Comrade Nikolai review it before initiating the project to produce it.
If the sons of Chang Gong agreed, what else could they say? As for whether Comrade Nikolai would agree or not, that was a matter for Mr. Li.
In short, no matter how you look at them, they will not suffer, and they are naturally happy to see it.
"Boss, what do you think...... Will that one agree?" After getting the confirmed news, Li Qi couldn't help but ask, she had read the script.
"Find a way. Li Xu replied simply.
It is necessary to carry out a certain degree of whitewashing for Mr. Chang in the movie, this is a political need, and Li Xu cannot resist the general trend, at least not now. Besides, the transport brigade still has merit to the TG, and it also involves the united front.
But he doesn't want to wash it too white, if a character like Chang Gong can be washed white, washed into an innocent little flower...... Forget it, the picture is so beautiful that people don't dare to look at it.
Besides, politicians are gray, and there are contradictions and conflicts, which will attract the attention of the audience. It's like, in serious history, there is no bandit-style TG commander like Li Yunlong, but the audience just likes to watch it.
Affectionate and righteous, without scruples, do whatever you want, don't depreciate it and don't care, anyway, when it always comes to Lao Tzu, it will be a dragon in the online article - if you don't look at the ending.
As for organizational discipline, the ZW responsibility system, and so on, who cares so much, and when we watch TV, we have to understand how the troops were built at that time? We also need to know who is responsible? Who is so busy at work every day, who has that leisure.
Back to the topic, Li Xu had to ask the screenwriters to think of a way to whiten the color of the transportation captain a little bit. The most obvious point is that after Bai Xiude returned from Yu Province, he took great pains to see him and report the news, and his reaction from disbelief to shock at the beginning was real.
This is disgusting, after all, one of the biggest black spots of a guy who has been blackened into carbon is that he doesn't know how to starve to death, but there is no way, this one who doesn't know how to starve to death is different from the one who doesn't know how to starve to death.
In addition, the ending paragraph of the original version is also reserved, that is, the captain of the transport group prays in the church, and then sheds a tear, after which the attendant officer chatters beside him: "We have made great sacrifices for the war, we have died so many people, how can we discuss the aftermath of the war......"
There's no way, whoever lets the fruit fans talk about it decades later is how many people died in which battle. It is also the first to boast about the number of war deaths as merit.
To tell the truth, if Li Xu were Roosevelt, he was afraid that he would not give a bald head a good look, especially the whole world is counterattacking fascism, Belgium is forming guerrilla units, why do you have a big rout and quit, do you really have the face to participate in the Cairo Conference? So, it is natural to make a deal with Comrade Iron and Steel and exchange Mongolia and more things for them to kill the Kwantung Army.
Of course, the captain of the transport brigade has to wash his name, and the rest is not needed, such as the landlord whose family is ruined.
Now the beginning of this script has been directly changed, and the landlord saw that there were more people besieging the city, so he fired a few shots first, threatening and appeasing him, and asked people to go directly to the Japanese.
As a result, the Japanese did not find it, they were exchanging fire, and the news leaked, so the hungry people broke the compound, looted it, and the landlord's family all died, leaving only a daughter who had just returned from studying abroad.
Just kidding, in peacetime there may be good gentry, but in the famine years the landlords will only have so many guns? Will they be so kind to invite the hungry people in to eat? Don't worry that they will break out and hurt people?
Therefore, the original landlord's escape line was transplanted to the landlord's long-term worker, coupled with Bai Xiude's field trip to Henan Province, these are the two lines of the movie.
Li Xu handed over the script to the mainland to complete, although the admiration of the foreign in this era is very powerful, but the screenwriters in the system are not as crooked as they were decades later. It's really not good, it's a big deal to find Lao Wei to write the screenplay, but people are firm......
What's more, every time the script is overhauled, it has to be faxed to him, so although he has received a lot of interference from the top, he basically does not deviate from the main line he wants.
The only problem is nothing more than the captain of the transport brigade and the united front, and there is a "Iron-blooded Kunlun Pass" after "Bloody Battle of Taierzhuang", but it is this problem that causes the movie to be shelved as soon as it was completed in 92.
"Actually, it's mainly on Li Peiji and Tang Enbo. Li Xu said after reading the script again.
It's a pity that whether it is Li Qi or Gao Lihong, they are all inexplicable, Li Jianqun knows it, but she is not here at this time.
Li Xu actually didn't tell them again, the reason why the original version of "1942" adjusted the performance of Li Peiji and Jiang Dingwen - in real history, Jiang Dingwen was the one who advocated disaster relief, and Li Peiji didn't admit that Yu Province needed disaster relief until the disaster was really no longer hidden.
First, Li Peiji is the person who was pushed to Henan Province by the captain of the transportation brigade, although Jiang Dingwen is also the person of the captain of the transportation brigade, he is also the person of Granny He, and there is a difference between relatives and relatives.
Second, Li Peiji voted for TG after liberation, and Jiang Dingwen went to Wanwan, so naturally he had to blow a wave of Li Peiji.
Of course, this is all fine, even if Nikolai wants to be a shame for His Holiness, Li Peiji's vote for TG can be offset. The key lies in how to highlight the "soup" of the "water and drought locust soup"? Although this guy is a bastard, he is loyal to the captain of the transport brigade, and Nikolai is afraid that he will not want to see him dragged out for criticism, right?
"Whatever it takes, I'll talk about it then, it's still early. Li Xu thought about it and slapped his thigh at the end.
Now "The Last Emperor" is still not a word, and it is meaningless to think about "1942" so much.
When the crew came back from inspecting the Forbidden City, they were all very excited, especially Akira Kurosawa, even though he still had dark glasses hanging on the bridge of his nose, his smile was very obvious.
"This palace complex is truly a marvel! It is difficult to imagine the grandeur and majesty of these buildings without seeing them with your own eyes!" said the old man at the seminar.
In short, the Forbidden City praised it greatly, and said that it was a great honor to be able to shoot in such a place.
At the end, he came to Li Xu and bowed deeply to him: "Thank you very much Young Master Liangshi for giving me this opportunity, even if I want to shoot according to your instructions, I am still very happy." ”
This was said in front of many people, such as the Kurosawa group, who specializes in film affairs for him, which surprised many people.
Anyway, he has the name of the emperor of the movie, and he is also a character who can openly criticize the Soviet Union for the movie, but he is respectful to such a young boy, even if his surname is Kujo and he is an investor, it is a bit exaggerated, right?
Of course, a few real leaders of the Kurosawa group, such as Masahiko Kumada, would never have such an idea.
You know, I brought a lot of things to the Forbidden City today, including the original painting, in the cold-toned square, the little emperor and his younger brother ran around, and a group of people held Huang Luogai umbrellas and chased after them.
When it was taken out for comparative observation, the Chinese side saw this, expressed their amazement, and then seized the opportunity to compliment Kurosawa well, and it was too late to clarify.
Therefore, Kurosawa Akira has to say this, after all, the energy of the Kujo family, as well as the energy of the Li family in the United States, these people are clear.
Anyway, he really likes this original painting, and the exquisite original paintings sent by Li Xu are also one of the reasons why he agreed to direct.
"No, Kurosawa-kun, I'm sure you can still make a great movie under these circumstances. Li Xu waved his hand.
Of course, he knew what happened when he visited the Forbidden City, not to mention that Li Jianqun, Chen Chong, and Wu Junmei would tell him what happened, and the people in Hollywood would not help Kurosawa hide it.
Kurosawa, no matter how famous he was, was just a filmmaker, and he dared to criticize the Soviets because they were at fault first, and because they had the support of the entire free world — in a sense, if he didn't, he would lose the support of the free world, and he became famous from the free world.
Fame, this thing is really good sometimes, but sometimes it's also papier-mâché, and it breaks when you poke it.
However, the Chinese side's sycophants should really make him comfortable, and they really make him comfortable, otherwise even if he would talk to Li Xu, he would not be like this, and he would be so happy.
Anyway, as long as this guy is in a good mood, the production of "The Last Emperor" depends on him.
After living in Diaoyutai for three days, Li Xu moved to the Yanjing Hotel, which is more convenient after all.
"It's so close to the square, so I like it more. Li Xu used such an excuse.
Naturally, the Chinese side will not be reluctant, and they all know very well what kind of person Mr. Li is when he has come to the mainland so many times. Li Xu didn't pretend either, and on the night of his stay, he gave the Bull Demon King's concubine in the suite of the Yanjing Hotel.
Well, it's the jade-faced fox Zheng Yiping.
The girls in "Journey to the West" have not changed much, several well-known characters are still played by actresses in memory, and they have played Chang Qing and Zhang Qing before, and brought Zhu Ling to the United States, "Dream of Red Mansions" still depends on the situation, so this time it is better to continue to play "Journey to the West".
Of course, this is not absolute.
