Feng Xiaogang stood aside and watched Cheng Xiaodong filming martial arts. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Unlike Li Yu, Feng Xiaogang has no intention of interfering in martial arts, he feels that professional things should be completed by professional people, he says what he wants, and the rest of the work is handed over to Cheng Xiaodong.

Only when he thinks differently from him does he communicate with Cheng Xiaodong.

In other words, Feng Xiaogang's desire to control the crew is not strong.

He knows that he is not from a professional class and does not belong to an all-round talent, he is willing to make films with a cooperative attitude, as long as the opinions put forward are appropriate, he can accept them.

It can be said that he is modest and tolerant, and it can also be said that he is self-aware.

Of course, this attitude of his is aimed at those who are really capable and can convince him.

He discussed the script with Jiang Wen, let Cheng Xiaodong control the martial arts, and even handed over the editing rights to the editor.

This kind of decentralization is exactly where Feng Xiaogang excels.

I may not have as much knowledge as you, I know a lot, and I have a strong sense of art, but I can put you together and make a film that makes the audience feel good.

"Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" won the Oscar, Feng Xiaogang's heart was hot, and the pressure doubled at the same time.

He does not hide his desire for fame and fortune, and wants to be successful and respected in this industry.

To this end, he made Chinese New Year films, joined the Directors Guild, and actively participated in various activities in the film industry, allowing himself to move forward step by step in this circle.

Awards are Feng Xiaogang's weakness.

He was defined as the director of Chinese New Year films, and he was ridiculed as a township award when he won an award at a foreign film festival.

The media refers to him as a great director, referring to the box office of the movie, not to his artistic achievements, which is exactly what the domestic entertainment industry values the most.

It is precisely because Zhang Yimou has won many awards that he has mixed up in the entertainment industry.

If "Hero" can also win the Oscar......

Feng Xiaogang came up with this idea more than once, in fact, not only him, the success of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" has made many people have ideas, which is normal.

If you really don't want to, that's not normal.

Lin Zixuan and Feng Xiaogang have analyzed that the chances of "Hero" winning the Oscar are very small, and it is impossible for the Oscar to award the Best Foreign Language Film Award to a Chinese film in a row, or the same type of martial arts film.

The award of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" just shows that it will be more difficult for Chinese films to win awards in the next few years.

It's a pity that some people still want to give it a try, thinking that this is an opportunity, otherwise they will not be reconciled.

Feng Xiaogang is the same, even if he doesn't win the award, it doesn't matter if he thinks about it in his heart.

He felt that the crew had changed greatly after "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" won the award, and everyone was like a tightened clockwork, working hard.

Originally, it was still necessary to urge, but now the initiative has been greatly improved.

Including the staff of Xiangjiang, they have shown all their skills, and Oscar is more attractive to them.

"Hero" is on par with "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" in terms of investment scale and cast, and there is also investment from American film companies, which is very likely to replicate the success of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon".

These people also think that the Oscars are beautiful, not only the scenery, but also the difference in their future value when they participate in the production of an Oscar-winning film.

Feng Xiaogang was happy to see it happen, and occasionally used "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" to boost morale.

Cheng Xiaodong is a well-known martial arts instructor in Xiangjiang, who entered the martial arts industry in the late 60s of the last century, and has been in it for 30 years, serving as the martial arts instructor of many classic martial arts films in Xiangjiang.

The competition in Xiangjiang Martial Arts is fierce.

This time, Yuan Heping made a big splash in Hollywood with "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", and Cheng Xiaodong was naturally not far behind, and put a lot of effort into the action design of "Hero".

The martial arts scenes of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" are dominated by swords, and the swords are off-edge, light and elegant.

Especially the fight in the bamboo forest, it looks pleasing to the eye and beautiful, but it lacks a sense of excitement.

"Hero" highlights the fierce and dangerous side of swordsmanship, and the contest between assassins is not child's play, but a life-and-death fight, and life and death are at stake.

Cheng Xiaodong wanted to show another style of martial arts, which was more atmospheric and intense.

"Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" is a story in the rivers and lakes, and "Hero" has reached the national level, where the ranger swordsman of a thousand years ago is unrestrained and happy to take revenge.

In "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", the martial arts characters and the government are too deeply involved, and they are in a dilemma.

The two films differ in various ways.

After filming this paragraph, Feng Xiaogang stepped forward and chatted with Cheng Xiaodong for a few words, mainly on the issue of stand-ins.

Li Yu's filming requires actors to use stand-ins as much as possible, and Feng Xiaogang requires that stand-ins must be used in dangerous scenes, which is to protect the actors.

The stand-in of Wu Xing has a kung fu foundation, and he knows how to avoid danger when encountering it.

Actors can't do it, it's easy to hurt themselves, and once they get hurt, the filming progress will be affected.

In this regard, each director has different ideas, Li Yu pays more attention to the authenticity of the performance, and the stand-in cannot perform.

Feng Xiaogang wants to ensure the smooth completion of the film, and not let the actors have accidents.

Wang Baoqiang stood on the periphery, looking at Feng Xiaogang and Cheng Xiaodong chatting, and Jiang Wen and Zhao Wenzhuo were in the distance.

He spent a few months in the crew of "Hero" and systematically understood the operation process of the crew, which is a large crew of hundreds of people, and each department has its own duties.

Wu Xing is mainly responsible for the filming and direction of martial arts.

After the filming of "Hero" started, he played a trick and worked as a stand-in, and he watched from the sidelines when he was fine, although it was hard, he felt that he could learn something new every day.

There is no such opportunity to perform in a group.

As expected, his "Blind Well" did not pass the review of the General Administration, and he could only take the route of an international film festival.

The film won an artistic achievement award at the Berlin Film Festival, and Western filmmakers are keen on this type of film, and director Li Yang has become somewhat famous.

But for Mr. Wang, the situation hasn't changed much.

"Blind Well" could not be released in China, and it became a banned film due to illegal participation in film festivals, but fortunately, the director and actors were not famous, and the punishment was not large, that is, fines and writing checks.

The main thing is that there are too many of them, and the sixth generation of directors rushes to the international film festival in droves.

As long as it is not the kind of film with problematic themes and ideas, it is basically not allowed to be screened in domestic theaters, and the management of the General Administration in this regard is much more relaxed than in the 90s, and the atmosphere is gradually liberalized.

Wang Baoqiang did not become popular because of "Blind Well", but there is also a work that can be done.

After Feng Xiaogang and Cheng Xiaodong finished chatting, he walked towards the periphery, he wanted to take time to go to the hospital to see Fu Biao.

He empathizes with Fu Biao's experience, he himself has heart disease, he was hospitalized when filming "The Funeral of a Big Shot", and now he still carries first-aid medicine with him.

In this line of work, irregular life and excessive fatigue are easy to cause illness.

Feng Xiaogang sighed with emotion as he walked, and suddenly saw Wang Baoqiang, he had some impression of this person, he was an actor from his own company, so he nodded at Wang Baoqiang.
