Chapter 474: New Interesting Project

Around mid-April, Li Xu left San Francisco for Hong Kong, and from Hong Kong to the mainland. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

At this time, "1942" had already reached the end of filming, not that Li Xu wanted to break his promise, but that he was indeed stumped by things.

Those trivial things are fine, the most important thing is the storyboard of "Top Gun", the exit of Simpson and others was not expected, so from the beginning of Li Xu's promise to give a delicate storyboard within a month, it has been decided that he will definitely play a little to go to the mainland.

However, Zhang Yimou is indeed trustworthy, or the system of this era is trustworthy, as a foreign-related project, they handle it very well, not only to keep the bottom line given by Li Xu, but also to make up for everything.

After Li Xu arrived, he watched some clips, although the full effect is still up for debate, but these shots taken out alone are still very good. To be honest, if they can maintain this style for 30 years, it will not be so miserable.

Of course, this is all nonsense.

"You're doing a pretty good job. Li Xu deliberately called out the death of the bolt pillar and watched it, and happened to meet Jiang Wen on the set, and immediately grabbed him and praised him.

"That's, this kind of performance is not a piece of cake for me!" Jiang Wen was not ashamed to boast to himself, "But he is still too stupid, if it were me, then he would definitely agree first, and then find a way to the guy, and then get some medicine, why do you have to pull a dozen little devils on the road together." ”

"Yo, it's so powerful, you can blow it. Li Xu jokingly continued, "If it were really you, it would be very good not to pee your pants." ”

"Who said that," Jiang Wen stiffened his neck as usual, "It's not that I said, Brother Li, you don't know, how cruel that little Japanese devil was back then, I didn't see it, but my dad saw it, those dog days are really not things......"

Speaking of this, he suddenly felt that something was wrong, looked at Li Xu with an expectant face, thought about it carefully, and then began to knot his tongue: "That...... That one...... Brother Li, I'm definitely not talking about you...... There must be good people in the Japanese, right...... That ......"

"That Mao, what do you say," Li Xu immediately waved his hand, "Those guys are bastards, beasts, and scum, what's this, this is the truth." ”

"I ...... Of course I know," Jiang Wengan laughed twice, "actually...... My dad didn't see much, he was a member of the army, but the most brilliant achievement in his life was fighting with the United Nations army in North Korea. ”

"Yo, that's good," Li Xu blinked, "The Volunteer Army singled out the United Nations Army, this kind of thing is definitely more glorious than the War of Resistance Against Japan." ”

"That's," Jiang Wen began to be proud again, "The American devils are much more ferocious than the Japanese, they don't dare to march during the day, even in the mountains, as long as they are discovered by reconnaissance planes, bombers will come over in a few minutes......"

Speaking of this, he stopped again, what the hell, why still doesn't it feel right?!

Looking at Li Xu, who was still looking forward to it, he thought about it carefully, and his tongue knotted again: "That...... Brother Li, I didn't mean ...... I don't mean ......"

"It's okay," Li Xu waved his hand again, "Facts are facts, there's nothing to deny, you guys are very powerful." There have been so many movies about the Vietnam War in the United States, but there are very few Korean Wars. That's your glory, and it's certainly worth publicizing. ”

Jiang Wen smiled and scratched his head, it was quite comfortable to hear him say this, but ...... Why do you always feel that something is wrong?

"By the way, Jiang Wen, your father participated in the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, right, do you know the Battle of Changjin Lake?" Li Xu suddenly asked again.

"This ...... I'm going to ask this," Jiang Wen continued to scratch his head, "Why are you asking this, Brother Li?"

"I wondered when I would make a movie about the Battle of Changjin Lake. Li Xu said with a serious face.

"Long ...... A movie of the Battle of Changjin Lake?" Jiang Wen looked confused.

"It doesn't have to be the Battle of Changjin Lake itself, it can be based on the Battle of Changjin Lake," Li Xu immediately said, "You see, a great mother sent all her five sons to the battlefield, and then her fourth son died in the Battle of Changjin Lake, so this mother received four death notices on the same day." The devastated mother begged the central government to bring back her last son, and the central government agreed to her request, but because of the rapid interspersing of troops, her last son's unit was already in the enemy's rear, so the commander decided to form a small detachment and reach out behind the enemy to bring him back - what about this idea?"

Jiang Wen opened his mouth, although his eyes were looking at him, but the focus no longer knew where to run.

After a while, he subconsciously asked, "Is this ...... That's where it comes from. ”

"Of course, it's from China's side, is it still the United States?" Li Xu said as a matter of course, "Those grandsons don't want to mention this war at all." ”

"No...... I mean......" Jiang Wen looked at him stunned, and his tongue didn't straighten out, "You...... How did you come up with ...... Would you have thought of filming this?"

"Because ......" Li Xu made a thoughtful look, ""Children of Heroes" is very good-looking, but the actors who play American devils don't look very similar, and they are too stupid and pretentious. ”

Jiang Wen coughed violently, and the poor young man didn't know how to answer, so he just said, "There is no way to do this, at that time...... It's not that there are no foreign ...... Actors, and...... They don't know each other, no. ”

"That's right," Li Xu nodded, "Speaking of which, do you know that there is also a movie called "Tunnel War" in the United States, and the content is very nonsense. ”

"What's the content?" Jiang Wen asked subconsciously, and then he regretted it.

"It is said that the Chinese dug tunnels to attack the United States and planted nuclear bombs in the tunnels. Li Xu shrugged.

"Dig a tunnel to attack the United States?" Jiang Wen's mouth twitched as if it were electric, "The Pacific Ocean is so deep, can you dig it?"

"Maybe you don't go to the Pacific Ocean, you can dig down, go through the center of the earth, and you'll end up in the United States. Li Xu replied seriously.

Jiang Wen said twice, he didn't know what to say at all, fortunately, the director's assistant came over at this time: "Mr. Li, Jiang Wen should come on the stage." ”

"Okay, come right away!" Jiang Wen hurriedly agreed, and then looked at Li Xu: "Brother Li, I'll shoot first." ”

"Go, go, go," Li Xu waved his hand again and again, "By the way, you remember to come over for me to be the leading actor in the next movie." ”

Jiang Wen immediately stumbled, turned around and said with a bitter smile: "Brother Li, say this...... It's too early, this movie hasn't been made yet. ”

"That's it. Li Xu waved his hand very domineeringly, "If you don't come, I'll go directly to the top to ask someone." ”

Poor Jiang Wen left with tears in his eyes, Li Xu turned his head and went to find Zhang Yimou, who was about to start filming: "Lao Zhang, what do you think of this kid Jiang Wen?"

"It's not bad," Zhang Yimou thought for a while, "It's quite honest, but it's also very clever, and the acting is very good." ”

In other words, how did you put honesty and cleverness on him together? Li Xu was like complaining, but in the end he just patted him on the shoulder: "That's okay, a new movie will be opened in the second half of the year, you will be the director, and he will play the leading role, it's decided." ”

"Wait...... Wait a minute, Mr. Lee. Zhang Yimou hurriedly said, "That, I'll ...... in the second half of the year."

"I know I won't delay you from being the cinematographer for The Great Parade. Li Xu waved his hand and said, "Of course, time may be tight in this way, so you have to plan every minute and every second of your life, you know, I plan to go to the Berlin Film Festival for this movie." ”

"No problem, no problem. Lao Mouzi agreed repeatedly.

The problem of "Red Sorghum" has almost been solved, the male and female protagonists and the director are all in hand, and the guy who doesn't talk has sold the film rights not long ago, and when "1942" is finished, you can start making preliminary preparations.

Then, now, in addition to the Chinese version of "Brave Death Island", Li Xu has another interesting project, the Chinese version of "Saving Private Ryan", and it is also based on the Battle of Changjin Lake - he is going further and further on the road of Japanese and American traitors.

But if this is really going to be done, it will be more troublesome than "Brave Island", the Chinese version of "Brave Island of Death" was decided when he first decided to play in the entertainment industry in the mainland, and he has repeatedly revised it many times in his heart, and all aspects of the situation have been taken into account, and he even knows when it is most appropriate to put forward it, and how to convince some people, even if the plot of the movie is very rebellious.

But the Chinese version of "Saving Private Ryan", the difference in cultural value is still a trivial matter, this kind of thing can always be solved if you think about it, just like when Li Xu described it to Jiang Wen, he directly changed the plot of the army taking the initiative to send the soldiers home, and changed it to a mother who wrote a book hoping that the army would find her last son.

In this way, "Auntie, don't worry, we will be your son in the future" will be broken, right?

In fact, according to TG's rules, the mother should have been stopped when she sent her five sons to join the army.

2,000 years ago, when Xin Lingjun stole talismans to save Zhao, he knew that "father and son are in the army, and the father returns; brothers are in the army, and the brother returns; the only son has no brothers, and he is raised", not to mention now.

Of course, this can be explained by accidents, or that sentence, these things have to be solved, and there is always a way to think of them.

But this background is a bit troublesome, although the Normandy landings were smooth in most places, but Omaha Beach is indeed very tragic, and if you want to find a similar tragic battle between World War II and the Korean War, there is only Changjin Lake to Shangganling.

The War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression can only be said to be arduous, and in terms of specific battles, the degree of tragedy is really not comparable to that of resisting US aggression and aiding Korea.

So the question is, during the current honeymoon period between China and the United States, are you talking about the Korean War with the intention of provoking Sino-US relations?

If it is postponed to 10 years from now, Sino-US relations are in a state of tension, and China needs to bury its head in the sand and make a fortune in silence.

As for 20 years later, does Li Xu still have to prevent the production and release of the original "Saving Private Ryan"?

It hurts.
