Chapter 102: The Way Out of the Movie
Not to mention Tsui Hark, our eyes are on the Tang Dynasty network.
When Liu Sichen transferred an email to Chen Jiayi, for a while, Chen Jiayi didn't understand.
"Tsui Hark?"
What's going on?
This was Chen Jiayi's first reaction, and it took about a few seconds before he reacted and took a closer look at the email.
"I see."
After reading all the emails, Chen Jiayi also knew why Tsui Hark wanted to find the Tang Dynasty network.
Although the email did not specifically talk about the cooperation. However, a filmmaker came to the door, of course, to discuss the matter of the movie. Another guess, in 2001, it seems that Tsui Hark was about to shoot "The Legend of Shushan". This blockbuster, which cost 80 million, invited a bunch of stars from Hong Kong. It's just that after the final release, although it didn't fall into a tragic situation of loss, it didn't receive much effect.
Later generations commented on the "Legend of Shushan", saying that it was a special effect for success and a special effect for failure.
In order to express the vast realm of cultivation in Shushan, Tsui Hark used countless computer special effects. At first, everyone watched it for half an hour, and they would think it seemed good. However, when I continued to look at it, I found that countless special effects pictures dazzled the audience. In the end, the anti-missile is the plot of the entire Shushan Biography, and there are some ambiguities about what it is about.
From this point of view, it seems that it cannot be said that the Legend of Shushan is a failure, but it can be seen from this that the Legend of Shushan is not a successful work.
It was 2001 and Tsui Hark found Tang Dynasty Network. Don't think about it, it's for the special effects of the Tang Dynasty network. Moreover, before the start of the ethereal journey, Tang Dynasty Network has created a 5-minute game CG, the artistic conception expressed in the game CG. Presumably this is what Tsui Hark wants to present to the audience. After all, Shushan and Ethereal, to a certain extent, are the same kind of works.
"Reply to the email, just say that we are Tang Dynasty Network and welcome the arrival of Director Tsui Hark."
After the Tang Dynasty Network developed the ethereal journey, the entire game development team had a period of free time.
During this period of time, Chen Jiayi's main plan was to make the entire game team tackle the 3D engine. However, the 3D engine is currently in the project approval stage, and the task is not very tight. Moreover, 3D games will become popular in the future, at least until 2004. Moreover, there is some 3D technology, and Chen Jiayi also has to let him digest it by himself. It can be said that the time of the Tang Dynasty network is still relatively overflowing.
Three days later, Tsui Hark and his entourage secretly came to Linchuan from Hong Kong.
"To paraphrase a sentence in the movie, Mr. Chen is really a hero and a teenager."
After all, Tsui Hark is engaged in movies, and even if he hasn't seen many so-called geniuses and so-called heroes, he has played a lot of them. Even if Chen Jia was already in control of the Tang Dynasty network at a young age, it was just a small surprise for Tsui Hark.
"Where, where, Director Xu is the idol of my generation."
This is not a lie at all, for Tsui Hark, Chen Jiayi admires it from the bottom of his heart. Only such a ghost director can make so many classic movies. Especially Xu Guanjie's version of Xiaoao Jianghu, Chen Jiayi has watched it countless times. After watching it, I also deeply admired Tsui Hark's directorial talent.
Some people may say, doesn't it mean that Chen Jiayi doesn't like the entertainment industry.
Yes, Chen Jiayi doesn't like the entertainment industry. But the entertainment industry and movies are completely different things. At this time, Chen Jiayi was able to meet the famous Hong Kong director Tsui Hark, and he was still very happy to come to the Tang Dynasty network in person.
"Don't dare to be, don't dare to be."
Tsui Hark saw that Chen Jiayi seemed to be very interested in the movie, and he also had a heart. Before talking about the official cooperation, the topic of the two naturally turned to Hong Kong movies. Just chatting, Chen Jiayi sighed and said, "Hong Kong movies are a little bad now, and they seem to be going downhill." ”
Since 2000, Hong Kong films have begun to decline. Even in 2011, the popularity of Hong Kong films is getting weaker and weaker, and they have long lost the title of Oriental Hollywood.
Now that he is meeting the famous director Tsui Hark, Chen Jiayi pretended to sigh deeply.
"Yes, Hong Kong films have been on the decline in recent years. Whether it is from the box office or from the international prestige. Moreover, there have been no blockbuster movies recently. Especially in the International Film Awards, there are few Chinese film works. ”
Why did Tsui Hark shoot Shushan, in addition to his thick Shushan complex. He also wants to make an oriental masterpiece to cheer up the Hong Kong film industry. Otherwise, if it continues to decline like this, Hong Kong films may have to survive and die. This is an exaggeration, but the decline of Hong Kong cinema is a fact. ,
"When I found your company this time, I wanted to cooperate with your company."
At this time, Tsui Hark also directly explained his intentions.
"I'm also looking forward to our collaboration."
If both parties can reach a cooperation, it is a win-win situation. However, Chen Jiayi was a little worried. Because, the "Legend of Shushan" directed by Tsui Hark in later generations paid too much attention to special effects, and after it was launched, it was not successful. In order to change this status quo, Chen Jiayi wanted to use the vision of future generations to remind Tsui Hark a sentence or two.
"At that time, we in Tang Dynasty developed the particle system entirely for online games. I just didn't expect that it could also be applied to movies. I would like to ask Director Xu, where do you think the way out for Hong Kong films in the future? ”
For this problem, until 2011, the Hong Kong film industry did not find it. Of course, Chen Jiayi didn't find it either.
"As filmmakers, there is only one purpose in making movies, and that is to shoot movies that the audience likes to watch. As for the way out for Hong Kong films in the future, to be honest, this also bothers me. This cooperation with your company is also a new kind of attempt. If successful, it may be able to open up a new path. If we don't succeed, we have to try again. ”
For Chen Jiayi's question, Tsui Hark was also a little embarrassed.
"I think, Director Xu must have some ideas, otherwise, he wouldn't have started filming Shushan."
"Mr. Chen won the award, this is just a small idea, if this is the future of Hong Kong films, even I can't believe it."
At the end of the day, it's just one way. How this road is, we have to go through it to find out.
In fact, Chinese films are still suffering a lot on the road of internationalization.
For example, in the general direction, we Easterners can accept Western ideas unconditionally. However, Chinese culture is difficult for Westerners to understand. That's why China has made some very meaningful and artistic films, but they have not been recognized by the international community. To a greater or lesser extent, there are also restrictions on the development of Hong Kong films.
As a filmmaker, Tsui Hark doesn't want to promote his films to the world.
The United States can package a film without a bit of history and culture into an international blockbuster, so why can't China? This time the legend of Shushan, how can it not have this purpose.
"Director Xu, what do you think of Star Wars and the Lord of the Rings?"
At this time, Chen Jia changed his words and talked about two classic films in the United States.
"It's good, people just look at it and are blown away by the picture on the screen. The visual enjoyment that this kind of computer special effects brings to the audience is simply incomparable. ”
"It's broken."
When talking about these two films, Tsui Hark seems to appreciate them very much. From the conversation, Tsui Hark focused most of his words on the visual effects in the movie. Presumably, in Tsui Hark's eyes, most of the reasons for the success of these two blockbusters have to be attributed to computer special effects.
If this is the case, even if it cooperates with the Tang Dynasty network, Shushan Biography will not be able to escape the fate of the servant street.
