Chapter 359: Famous Guides and Stars
It is not easy to choose a challenging role for Ge You, and it is also necessary to be able to give full play to his performance characteristics. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Ge You is characterized by being good at grasping the joys, sorrows and sorrows of small people, and if you let him play a tall and positive role, it is not a challenge, but a ruined image.
"Xu Sanguan Selling Blood" tells the story of Xu Sanguan, a cocoon worker in a silk factory, who sold blood to survive in a difficult era.
The whole story lasted for 40 years, Xu Sanguan experienced many historical events, and each time he relied on selling blood to get through the difficulties in his life, and selling blood became an important means for him to change his living environment.
Forty years later, the family is no longer short of money, Xu Sanguan is also old, and he wants to sell blood again.
However, because he was too old, no one wanted his blood anymore, which made Xu Sanguan's spirit collapse, and he thought about what to do if his family encountered difficulties in the future, and he lost the pillar in his heart.
Like "Alive", this is not an easy film to pass the censorship.
Lin Zixuan was prepared, so he didn't write a novel and publish it first, but wrote the script first.
Now that the General Administration has relaxed its review of the script, it is hoped to get a filming permit, and it is not in Lin Zixuan's grasp whether it will be banned after it is made into a movie.
To be sure, even if it can pass the censorship, a lot of the plot will have to be deleted.
If it is really banned, it can only take the route of an international film festival like "Alive" and recover its costs by selling copyrights.
Therefore, Lin Zixuan does not plan to invest himself, but to find overseas filmmakers to join the project.
As for the director of this film, Jiang Wen is undoubtedly the best choice.
One is that Jiang Wen is interested in this kind of subject matter, and he is not worried that making this kind of film will cause trouble, and he is influential overseas, and the combination of him and Ge You should be able to attract more than 20 million investments.
"I'll just play this book myself, don't you think this role overlaps a bit with the rich role in "Alive"? Ge You played it repeatedly. Jiang Wen proposed.
"Although the two characters are small people, they have different attitudes towards life." Lin Zixuan explained, "Brother Jiang, to be honest, you are really not suitable for this kind of role. ”
"You don't understand this, actors pay attention to what they are like, and I have played this kind of role before." Jiang Wen argued.
"Then compared to Brother You, which of you is good at acting?" Lin Zixuan asked rhetorically.
"It's like everyone's performance style is different." Jiang Wen responded, "Ge You is playing the character he figured out, and I am playing the character I figured out, don't look at it as the same role, the feeling of the performance may be very different." ”
"Let's consider it from the perspective of investment, for example, if you direct and act yourself, you may only attract 10 million investment, but if you and You Ge combine, you may be able to attract 20 million investment." Lin Zixuan persuaded, "As a director, which one do you choose?" ”
The appeal of two influential stars is obviously greater than that of one.
Ge You's title of Cannes actor will attract the attention of overseas filmmakers, and he has an advantage over Jiang Wen in this regard.
Such a calculation may seem too realistic, but it is true, investors invest in movies to obtain profits, and the combination of stars and directors is more secure.
This is the same as the combination of Zhang Yimou and Gong Li, once Gong Li is missing, investors will not hesitate to withdraw their capital.
"I'm only worth 10 million together, it's too underestimated." Jiang Wen said dissatisfied.
Having said that, he still thinks about it, as a director, he naturally hopes to invest as much as possible, so that he can keep improving in the process of making a film and not worry about money.
Jiang Wen was deeply impressed by the process of filming "Sunny Days", and he didn't want to repeat the mistakes of the past.
"That's okay, just Ge You will act." Jiang Wen compromised, "Who are we looking for to invest?" Hong Kong or European? ”
Although Jiang Wen has only made one film, he is also a famous director, and his new film does not worry about finding investors.
"Let's ask, let's make the shooting cost a little higher, starting at 20 million, how much can be pulled, and save not enough funds in the later stage." Lin Zixuan decided.
Lin Zixuan has room for this, for fear that Jiang Wen will waste money during filming.
It is estimated that it will take half a year for this film to be prepared from attracting investment, and it will take half a year to start production, and I don't know when it will be finished, everything is unknown.
This is not good for cooperating with Jiang Wen, he doesn't follow the schedule, he is more freewheeling.
Feng Xiaogang is not like this, as long as the shooting plan is made, it will be completed on time, which is reassuring.
Therefore, Lin Zixuan is unwilling to invest in this drama, he will only take out one million as the start-up capital of the project first, and then use overseas investment, whether he loses or earns, it has little to do with him.
Of course, it is also because the current good dream company can't make so much investment.
"I'll talk to Ge You, let's straighten out the book first." Jiang Wen nodded.
Jiang Wen himself runs a film and television company and has his own team, so he doesn't have to worry about Lin Zixuan.
In the Good Dream Company, with the addition of Yu Dong, Lin Zixuan has a lot of leisure, and he has time to write the script of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon".
This is a commission from a film and television company on Treasure Island, and after Lin Zixuan inquired, he knew that this film and television company had a close relationship with director Li Huan, and he thought it should be Li Huan's meaning.
The series of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon novels in the magazine "Ancient Legends" is coming to an end, and the publication of the book is also underway.
This year, Zhang Jizhong will shoot the sequel to "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" to bring the whole story to an end.
The later sequel is called "Iron Riding Silver Bottle", which is about Yu Jiaolong and Luo Xiaohu ten months after they broke up, they gave birth to a baby boy in the desert Yedian, but they didn't expect to be replaced by Mrs. Fang Er, who lived in the same store, with the baby girl she gave birth to, leaving a silver bottle as a memory.
Yu Jiaolong chased after her, but Mrs. Fang was robbed by the bandits of Qilian Mountain, and the baby boy was nowhere to be found.
Yu Jiaolong raised the baby girl and named it Chunxue Bottle, and the baby boy was raised by the bandits of Qilian Mountain and named Han Tiefang.
This is the story of Han Tiefang wandering the rivers and lakes in the desert in order to find his parents, and acting chivalrous.
Xu Jinglei and Xia Yu continue to star in this sequel as Yu Jiaolong and Luo Xiaohu, and Han Tiefang and Chun Xuebei are looking for new actors to star.
The completion of this sequel marks the end of the series.
Through magazines, book publishing and television broadcasts, in three years, "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" has become a hot topic in China, although it cannot be said to be a household name.
Especially the broadcast of the prequel, the roles of Li Mubai and Yu Xiulian are deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
Readers and viewers remember the images of Li Mubai, Yu Xiulian and Yu Jiaolong, and when they mention these people, everyone knows that there is such a story, and the effect is achieved.
By next year, it's time to start the filming schedule. (To be continued.) )
