Chapter 460: Opinions Differ

Although martial arts and kung fu movies are rarely made in China, fight scenes in film and television dramas are not uncommon. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

For example, in historical dramas, the generals of both sides fight each other on horses, and martial arts instruction is needed.

Moreover, the action scenes filmed in the mainland pay attention to realism, and the martial arts are not like the Peking Opera troupe from Xiangjiang, but a formal martial arts school.

The audience can see at a glance the action scenes in the mainland and the action scenes in Xiangjiang, which are very different.

It's very difficult to combine the two, you need to think carefully, and it may not end up with results, but it is worth trying.

Due to the filming of the TV series "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", Haomeng Company has contacts with well-known martial arts instructors in China, and has also learned from Xiangjiang's martial arts films, so it has a certain amount of experience in this regard.

It is impossible for Lin Zixuan to accompany Li Yu all the time, just find someone to take Li Yu to communicate with these martial artists.

While Li Yu was looking for martial arts masters, the media tracked and reported on "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon".

Journalists want to dig up more news material.

The investment of 10 million US dollars is definitely a big production in China, and Zhang Yimou's previous films are only about 4 million US dollars at most, and there are not many films in the mainland that exceed 5 million US dollars.

Many mainland filmmakers have been calling for their own commercial blockbusters, and now blockbusters are coming.

Although it is still far from Hollywood's commercial blockbusters, it is enough to excite the media.

They want to know which companies are investing in the co-production, who the main actors are, where they were filmed, and so on.

Employees of Good Dreams, including Lin Zixuan, and actors who have starred in the TV series "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" were interviewed.

After the spread of novels and TV series, domestic audiences are no strangers to "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", everyone knows what kind of story it is, and martial arts lovers are especially looking forward to the movie version of the novel.

Because of the familiarity, there are various speculations.

What they are most concerned about is the issue of actors, will it be the original cast?

Li Mubai played by Chen Daoming, Yu Xiulian played by Yu Feihong, Yu Jiaolong played by Xu Jinglei, Luo Xiaohu played by Xia Yu, etc., not to mention that they are deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, they are also widely known.

Some people speculate that such a high investment will definitely invite stars from Hong Kong and Taiwan to star.

Mainland audiences are familiar with Xiangjiang's martial arts movies, with Lau Dehua, Leung Jiahui, Liang Chaowei and others among the candidates, as well as martial arts superstar Li Lianjie, who was born in the mainland.

Among them, Li Lianjie's voice is the highest.

However, some people pointed out that Li Lianjie's salary is too high, since entering Hollywood, Li Lianjie's salary has soared, and 10 million US dollars may only be enough for him alone.

Even if he is willing to reduce his salary by half, then this film will not be filmed.

In this era, it is the time when Hong Kong and Taiwan stars are infinitely beautiful in the mainland, and the four heavenly kings are popular all over the country, and they may be even higher than the big stars in the mainland in terms of popularity.

Some people also think that it is good for the original cast to star, and this mainland martial arts film should be played by mainland actors.

Both sides have their own opinions, and there are different opinions.

The reporter interviewed Chen Daoming, Yu Feihong and others, and even Zhang Guoli, who played a supporting role, did not let go.

Lin Zixuan explained in advance, don't talk to death first, let this news continue to ferment, of course, he himself did not escape the siege and interception of reporters, and had to make a positive response.

"Mr. Lin, will the starring role of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" use the big stars of Xiangjiang?" the reporter asked.

"The salary budget of all the actors in this drama is only 10 million yuan, and we are negotiating with the actors from across the Taiwan Strait, as long as the salary is suitable and approved by the director, we do not rule out the possibility of using Hong Kong actors. Lin Zixuan replied, "I personally tend to use mainland actors, and I haven't decided yet, and I will notify you when there is news." ”

"Will you use the original cast of the TV series?" the reporter asked.

"It's hard to say, TV series are different from movies, we have to take into account all factors, we will try to choose the right actors to present the best effect to the audience. Lin Zixuan responded.

"Mr. Lin, some people say that Li Yu has never made martial arts films before, how did you think of cooperating with Li Yu instead of the director of Xiangjiang? Isn't the director of Xiangjiang better at making martial arts films?" the reporter said curiously.

This is also a hot topic of discussion in the entertainment media, and it is also controversial within the circle.

Everyone generally believes that martial arts films are commercial films, and they have nothing to do with literature and art, whether Li Yu can make a good martial arts film, how to recover the cost of such a large investment, and whether the good dream company will collapse because of this.

Although the voice of decline is not mainstream, it does exist.

In recent years, there have also been some blockbusters with an investment of more than 50 million yuan in China, but without exception, they have suffered box office fiascos.

Domestic directors are basically born in making literary films, and letting literary film directors make commercial films is an adventure in itself, and they always want to add personal feelings to commercial films.

Li Yu positioned "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" not as a commercial blockbuster, but as a different martial arts film.

To put it bluntly, he saw that Xiangjiang's martial arts film was not to his liking, so he wanted to make one himself, which is the same as reading a novel and feeling that it is not enjoyable, so he wrote it by himself.

As for whether he can shoot well and whether he can make money after filming, he is also uncertain.

But he felt that he wanted to shoot it, so he would shoot it, and he took a lot of risks for it, and if the film could not be sold, he would also be subject to debt collection by the bank.

No one knows if a movie will be successful until it has been tested by the market.

"It's not Director Li who we are looking for, but Director Li who is looking for us, he feels that "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" can allow him to realize his martial arts dream, and we are full of confidence in him and will give enough support. Lin Zixuan said.

"Mr. Lin, you and Director Feng have a tacit understanding of cooperation, and the films you have made are very successful at the box office, Director Feng can be said to be the most successful commercial film director in the mainland at present, why don't you let Director Feng make this film?" the reporter asked.

This question is rather acute and has the suspicion of provocation.

He can't say that Feng Xiaogang is good at making comedies, and he can't control this type of film at present.

It cannot be said that Feng Xiaogang's influence in the international film industry is not as good as Li Yu, and he can't attract investment and enter the Western film market.

Not to mention that Feng Xiaogang is dealing with family conflicts and has no time to make films.

If he really said that, after the media took it out of context, the news report might become the news that the top management of the company was disagreeable, and Feng Xiaogang might leave.

This became negative news, and the reporter obviously dug a pit and waited for Lin Zixuan to jump down.

However, Lin Zixuan has been in the entertainment industry for many years and has enough experience to deal with reporters.

"Director Feng is preparing his new film, and there is a conflict with "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" on the schedule, everyone will be able to see Director Feng's new film next year, and I believe it will bring a different feeling to the audience. Lin Zixuan changed the subject.

Regardless, Good Dreams is now the focus of entertainment media, and its fame has skyrocketed. (To be continued.) )
