"You want to take Xiao Jiang to the Spring Festival Gala?"

Chen Juan was stunned for a long time, but still didn't react, isn't this Director Gu making movies, why did he go to the Spring Festival Gala crew all of a sudden?

"By the way, I forgot to mention, I have been selected as one of the directors of the director team of this year's Spring Festival Gala. Gu Xiaofan tried not to show any show-off, but it still made Chen Juan and Lou Yixiao feel that their mouths were wide open, and they felt incredible.

How old is Gu Xiaofan, can he be the director of the Spring Festival Gala?

"Don't look at me like that, I'm just having fun." Gu Xiaofan was stared at by them, and felt a little embarrassed and said, "But I should be able to decide on one or two programs." ”

"So that's the case, it's good~ That's good~" Chen Juan said insincerely: "It's not a bad thing to show your face." ”

In her heart, she also felt that Gu Xiaofan was probably in some song and dance program, letting Xiao Jiang dance behind her back, or singing two sentences of Qin dialect or something like that in a folk song joint singing, it was really just "showing her face"......

Chen Juan didn't expect Xiao Jiang to act in any sketch by singing Qin dialect just like Guo Da who relied on his role in "changing rice" back then.

"Well, then Mayor Chen will trouble you to pick up Xiao Jiang and go to the crew with me immediately, I will go to the Spring Festival Gala crew to report in three days." Gu Xiaofan is not easy to explain too much, after all, the information of the Spring Festival Gala is strictly confidential.

"Well, then I'll do it right away." After Chen Juan finished speaking, she didn't stop, she directly picked up her mobile phone and called to buy a plane ticket, and walked out, Gu Xiaofan and the three of them sent her to the door and stopped a taxi for her.

"This Mayor Chen is too dedicated." Liu Shishi sighed, then turned around and glared at Gu Xiaofan:

"You promise it too well, can anyone go to the Spring Festival Gala? Those shows are all highly competitive, do you want me to partner with Xiao Jiang? ”

Before Gu Xiaofan could answer, Lou Yixiao said beside him: "I see that Mayor Chen is not counting on it at all, not this time, she will come next time, Captain Gu, you just wait......"

Gu Xiaofan saw that his two roommates were very distrustful of him, and couldn't help but say speechlessly: "I said that if I can win Xiaojiang, I will definitely be popular, do you think I am a random person?" ”

"Like ......" the two women said in unison.

“…… Sister Yixiao, you don't believe me either, do you? Gu Xiaofan couldn't help but be angry and said:

"Okay~ You also go to the Spring Festival Gala with us, I promise to make you all popular! I made all four of us an instant hit! ”

Liu Shishi and Lou Yixiao couldn't help but glance at each other when they heard this, a film director, plus two second-rate actresses, and a singer in Qin's dialect...... What kind of party lineup is this?

While waiting for the crew to report on the Spring Festival Gala, Gu Xiaofan buried himself at home in researching what kind of movie he would come up with this summer.

Now, Shanghai Film Group has specially allocated an office building to his Black Feather Studio.

The rest of the Black Feather Studio already had their own offices, and Gu Xiaofan didn't have to sit in the sofa with a few holes, but instead a rattan sofa, with some books, camera models, and potted daffodils on the sandalwood sofa behind it.

Gu Xiaofan was in front of his desk, looking at the scripts on the computer screen, frowning and thinking, what he was going to shoot in the next movie.

This "Dear" made him know that niche genre films are always niche genre films, and there is a limit to their commercial value, which is why he lost to "Transformers" last year.

He completely defeated those Hollywood opponents in the domestic market, there are only two ways, the first way is comedy, this route has some innate advantages for Hollywood, domestic films in the domestic market, he has seen "Thai Embarrassment", "Heart Flower Road", "Journey to the West" are all good choices, this route is also relatively safe.

But Gu Xiaofan was reluctant to do this, because this still avoided the "royal road" type of Hollywood.

If you want to fight the Americans, you have to beat him to the ground with dignity and defeat them in the area where the Americans are most proud.

Gu Xiaofan's heart was uncontrollably surging with this desire, this year, he had made great strides, and he felt that he had the strength to compete with the other party.

So isn't there a "royal road" movie in China? No, on the contrary, before the fifth generation of directors, almost all of China's films promoted positive values.

"Shaolin Temple", "Garland Under the Mountain", "Tunnel Warfare", "Mine Warfare", these previous classics are all royal blockbusters.

It can be said that before the mid-80s, the domestic film industry was monopolized by a large number of Chinese hero films.

But since the mid-80s, this genre has been withering......

Why is that?

There is a big background behind this, that is, the royal road film is based on the common mainstream social values, after China's opening up, people's beliefs began to change, began to look forward to advanced social civilization abroad, and Western-style individual heroism replaced the original Chinese-style heroes.

After those traditional heroes who advocate sacrifice for the collective, Gao Daquan began to be disgusted, 007, Rambo, Batman, such a surreal hero who killed all sides and hugged the beauty of the incense car, and turned the tide with his own strength, greatly satisfied everyone's dreams.

In addition, there are too many propaganda and education elements in the original old Chinese movies, which leads to the fact that the film serves political education, weakens the story and characters, and makes the characters in the movie too facial and false, which makes the audience easy to feel disgusted.

And the American royal road movies are also full of various political declarations, but he puts the story and the characters first, so that the combination of values and the story makes people enjoy watching and being educated unconsciously.

In addition to the surreal heroes who are overflowing with individualism, there are also realistic heroes like "Saving Private Ryan" and "Black Hawk Landing", which also declare their values with storytelling, but the educational significance reflected in them greatly surpasses those tall and all-heroic movies in China in the past.

Gu Xiaofan wants to arouse everyone's love for the heroic plot that belongs to China again, and he must first choose one of two paths, either a surreal hero or a realistic hero......

In terms of surreal hero movies, many classics have emerged in Hong Kong movies, such as "The True Colors of Heroes", "Wong Fei Hung", "God of Gamblers"...

Is there a similar theme in Gu Xiaofan's hands? Of course there is, it's a kung fu movie called "Ip Man".

The plot of this movie is very exciting, the plot and characters are rare in Hong Kong kung fu films in recent years, but unfortunately Gu Xiaofan is not capable of filming, because kung fu movies require a solid foundation of martial arts, and he has no time to practice in such a short period of time...... Just one minute a day of system capacity is simply not enough to shoot
