Chapter 226: Watching the Movie
"Soldier Assault" The whole novel has as many as 250,000 words, many storylines, and constant burdens, which is definitely not something that can be described in a movie, the script handed over by Zhang Yimou also uses the setting of the novel to run through the whole story with a lot of growth, and the theme of the movie tightly revolves around the training of the Seventh Company of Steel, which is also a variety of small stories of the Seventh Company of Steel, and then directly the heroic expression of the Seventh Company of Steel in the self-defense counterattack against Vietnam.
I have to say that this script is very smooth, compared with the original book, there are almost no changes, and it is closer to the novel version of "Soldier Assault", but the focus is more prominent and more military.
Although Govin had not been in contact with a movie script before, he was quite satisfied with this script after reading it, but compared with the excellence of the script, he valued Wei Bida and Zhang Yimou's attitude more. Before Zhang Yimou and Wei Bida, people from Shanghai Film Studio, Bayi Film Studio, and Changchūn Film Studio had contacted him, but they were not as well prepared as Zhang Yimou and Wei Bida.
And Govyn undoubtedly attaches great importance to his first work adapted into a movie, it doesn't matter how much money there is, what is more important is to make this movie well!
It's just that the script is well written, it doesn't mean that the movie can be made well, you must know that Zhang Yimou at this time has only graduated for more than a year, this is still Lao Mouzi's talent in film, but after all, he is just a photographer, and the quality of a movie is the director in a big way!
Therefore, Gewen does not think that Guangxi Factory can shoot his "Soldier Assault" well, so he does not plan to hand over the adaptation rights of "Soldier Assault" to Wei Bida and Zhang Yimou.
Gewen pondered for a moment, then put the script on the coffee table, looked at Wei Bida and said, "I'm sorry Director Wei, I can't hand over the film adaptation rights of "Soldier Assault" to you......"
"Why? Is the script bad? Wei Bida was taken aback.
"No," Govin shook his head, "Soldier Assault is the first of all my works that has the potential to be adapted into a movie, and I value it very much. Therefore, I hope that "Soldier Assault" can become a classic movie, preferably as good as the novel version of "Soldier Assault". In the past few days, people from Shanghai Film Studio, Changchūn Film Studio, and Bayi Film Studio have all visited me, and they all wanted to get the adaptation rights of "Soldier Assault", but I didn't agree to anyone......"
Wei Bida smiled bitterly, the meaning of Gewen's words was very clear, he didn't believe that the Guangxi factory could shoot "± Soldier Assault" well!
In fact, Wei Bida can't refute this question, since the establishment of the Guangxi factory, there are almost no representative works of its own, the scale and equipment of the factory cannot be compared with the three major domestic film bases, and the talent is only Zhang Yimou and other four people who were recruited last year, and the four of them made mistakes in the last movie.
Wei Bida was speechless for a while.
Wei Bida was speechless, but Zhang Yimou did not flinch, he pointed to the script on the table and asked Gowen: "Comrade Gowen, are you satisfied with this script?" ”
"It's okay." Gewen was curious about Zhang Yimou's sudden sharpness, this person who became a great director in later generations finally showed his magnificent side at this moment, but if he felt that he could convince himself, it would be a big mistake, it was impossible for him to lower his requirements in order to get the favor of a great director in the future!
"Comrade Govyn, do you think that for an old film studio founded in the fifties and with a history of more than thirty years, there will be a lack of resources to shoot a film? Although the scale of this factory has never been large, it is the only film studio in Guangxi Province! Zhang Yimou then asked.
"No, it won't." Govine replied, and then he retorted, "But it's impossible to make a movie with the resources of a factory, right?!" ”
"On the contrary, before Director Wei and I came, we had already started to prepare all kinds of work before filming." Zhang Yimou shook his head and said.
"Yes, Xiao Zhang is right, we are now planning to devote the whole factory to make a masterpiece!" Wei Bida interjected.
Govin shook his head disapprovingly, and said nothing.
"Comrade Govin, I know that you don't believe in the ability of our young film crew, on this point, no matter what I say, it is all false, the so-called hearing is false, seeing is believing, so I want to ask you to see something, I don't know if you have time to nickname now?" Zhang Yimou asked earnestly.
Looking at things?
What's that?
Govyn nodded in confusion.
And Wei Bida on the side suddenly realized after hearing Zhang Yimou's words, and he stared at Zhang Yimou with his eyes and appreciated it in his heart.
Ge Wen first followed Zhang Yimou and Wei Bida back to the guest house where they lived and carried a suitcase out, and then he was taken to Shanghai Film Studio by Zhang Yimou and Wei Bida. After arriving at the Shanghai Film Studio, Wei Bida mysteriously took the box and left, while Zhang Yimou took Govin to the screening room of the Shanghai Film Studio.
Along the way, Gewen asked Zhang Yimou several times what he let him see, but Zhang Yimou always shirked. But now when he arrived at the screening room of the Shanghai Film Studio and sat in the last row, Gowen finally realized that he had guessed what Zhang Yimou had let him watch one by one.
Zhang Yimou: Is this going to prove that they have the ability to shoot "Soldier Assault"?
What a guts!
However, it can also be seen from here that the preparation of the Guangxi plant is really sufficient!
Govine was a little ridiculous in his heart, and then he became curious about whether Zhang Yimou and they had already recorded a paragraph
