Chapter 254: Heroic Barbarism (1170 Monthly Pass Plus Update)
(Ask for a commuter pass!) )
It was still sunny weather on the way home, and the familiar climate was really warm in the local sound of the capital.
The Chen family had already moved, and when they got home, they happened to see a few little rabbit cubs playing in the pool with swimming rings, and then suddenly saw Chen Tiandu coming home, and they all screamed and cheered to welcome them. The heat is no longer fearful in the face of the pool and air conditioning.
It's really not easy to go home now, it's a low-key return, but he still remembers the tragic situation after being recognized by a few fans at the airport. Chinese like onlookers, but fans are still relatively simple, unlike Japan and South Korea, they like to watch idols on a large scale, live for idols, die for idols, and give birth to children for idols...... But this onlookers are terrible enough, a few of them almost couldn't get out of dragging the boxes, I don't know how many aunts stretched out their groping hands to him, fortunately, the airport police arrived in time.
On the same day he returned home, a big event also happened in Los Angeles. The NBA Finals finally decided the winner, the Lakers ended the 76ers' championship dream 4:1, and the Black Eight failed to go to the end. At least 550,000 Angelenos celebrated the triumph of the city's heroes in Los Angeles today.
Who called Los Angeles a reliable sports team, not even football. The local tycoons in Los Angeles have money and nothing to do, so they can only watch and play basketball. The NBA has also become more and more fond of boasting lately, making big moves at every turn, but in fact, they are at most third in North America.
Chen Tiandu read the report, as if he had missed another event. It's just about himself, it is estimated that Kong Yiji, who was left in Japan, has a little grudge, he has always liked to join in the fun.
The entire Via Figaro, which has been closed since 2 a.m., has been flooded. The Lakers will ride seven double-decker bus floats with purple ribbons across Le Figaro to the Staples Center. As a result, the road became a gathering place for fans. 2 km long section of the road that has been closed. There are a lot of small traders who want to take advantage of the opportunity to make a fortune, and there are a variety of Laker products, as long as they can wear the ornaments on their bodies, they will skillfully print the Lakers team logo, and the best selling is the Lakers flag and plastic trombone, and the golden team flag decorates the long street into a sea of yellow.
I heard that the temperature is approaching 30 degrees Celsius, and the atmosphere of celebration is rising. Fans chanted "Go Lakers!" And "Triple Crown!" The hero on the float thanked the fans with an excited gesture. The celebration ended with O'Neill's singing and proclamation that he would be back next year with three consecutive titles.
This raucous scene seems to be quite exciting. Chen Tiandu has no way of knowing.
After he rested for a day, Chen Tiandu returned to the world of work and began to officially assemble the crew for "My Sassy Girlfriend". The first time he was a full-fledged producer, he had to come to everything himself, and then he suddenly found himself with a lot of things to do. Despite being a physically fit man, Chen Tiandu was still so busy that he almost cramped, so busy that he wanted to have 48 hours a day, and of course 72 hours would be better.
But at this time, he received a special script.
In fact, the script is not only a matter of opinion of the benevolent and the wise, but also a stage. A stage for directors to play, after having comprehensive factors such as lighting, stage art, sound effects, etc. This stage will shine.
The name of this script is "Hero", it's not a book that can be seen from the script alone, and it's also described in a large space, and the character dialogues are not classic strokes, which makes anyone who reads it feel that this is a book that can make money.
"Qin Palace, black. Opening. ”
At the end of the Warring States Period, the Six Kingdoms fought against each other, and the Qin State was the strongest. Zhao Zheng (Chen Daoming), the king of Qin, had the ambition of dominating the world, but became the target of assassination by many assassins. On this day, Zhao Zheng, the king of Qin, was about to summon a petty official named Nameless. Nameless dressed in black, with a majestic atmosphere, walked into the blue-black hall.
This is perhaps the emptiest imperial palace in Chinese history. There are no palace maid guards, no decorations, and a murderous atmosphere. The King of Qin alone occupies the throne, far away from the nameless.
Ever since one day three years ago, when two assassins broke through the barriers of 3,000 guards and entered the palace, King Qin had been in deep fear. In order not to give the Assassins a place to hide, the hall became the emptiest palace in the world. Even the guards could only wait outside the temple gate. Unless, who can kill King Qin's henchmen like Nameless.
"Nameless, opposite the King of Qin, began to tell how he killed the first confidant of the King of Qin, the assassin Changkong."
Act II, Chess Hall, black. Nameless narration.
On a rainy day, in the chess hall, in the sound of the blind old man's piano, Changkong defeated the seven masters of the Qin State, and was about to walk out of the chess hall, and the nameless voice stopped him. "Slow!"
In the sound of the guqin, the rain flowed down the blue and black eaves of the chess hall, and the two black-clothed people flew up and down. It's like a dance, but it's a race of life and death. A nameless sword stabbed out. Compared to the speed of the sword, the drop of raindrops turned into a slow glide. The sky fell to the ground.
……
is this kind of script that has no literary beauty at all, but Chen Tiandu has read it repeatedly, seriously, and carefully several times. It's not because the person who handed over the book was Zhang Yimou, nor because the book handed over asked him to play the leading role, so he took time out of his busy schedule to spend so much energy to watch it.
But after reading it so many times, he finally gave up, but it was not because the script was not good enough.
But just when he was thinking about whether to star, there were already some limelight in the domestic media that were not very good for him, which seemed to be building momentum for Zhang Yimou to start filming a new film. And the object of the momentum and the hype is Chen Tiandu himself.
Before a movie has started shooting, it can attract the attention of the audience, which is not the treatment of domestic films at this stage. But when this movie was linked to Chen Tiandu's name, one qiē and one qiē all went naturally.
"What? Tiandu is going to act in Lao Mouzi's movie, no. Won't it be too cheap? ", "Chen Tian is the protagonist of Lao Mouzi's new drama, it is said to be a martial arts film, oh yes, it can be regarded as a strong team. Expect. "The farts join forces. The anticipation of the fart. It must be Lao Mouzi's popular work at the box office of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" and "Infernal Affairs", and follow the trend to make money. The audience's eyes are bright, and they can even list one, two, or three, and elaborate: "First, make costume martial arts films, and follow the trend of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon". Second, Chen Tiandu, who has the most box office appeal in North America, was included in the movie, and the audience who went to see the movie under this name contributed more than 30 million box office. Third. Chen Tiandu is now worth $20 million plus 20% of the box office share, what is the ability of Zhang Weiping to invite him to the new picture, just by virtue of his Huamao? Zhang Yimou? No kidding, he doesn't have any money at all. ”
When he called Zhang Yimou and politely refused, the other party was quite surprised, as if he thought it was a safe thing before.
He immediately called back and explained seriously: "Tiandu, you may not understand the script, this script is quite simple, but it can't explain anything." When I was filming Red Sorghum. Only the last 30 pages of the book were used, and it was these 30 pages that were turned into more than 200 shots. It's a bit too busy at this time. Actually, I made an appointment with you to talk about it. Why don't we make an appointment now, and I'll talk to you about the script carefully. ”
Chen Tiandu still politely refused: "I can understand the script, it is written in detail." But the schedule is not suitable, I am also preparing for the crew, and the actors have been waiting for more than a year. I'm really sorry that the new drama is about to start filming. ”
Zhang Yimou still didn't give up, "Don't have any ideas, the limelight that appeared on the Internet was not leaked by us." It has nothing to do with the hype. ”
Chen Tiandu was immediately happy when he heard it, hehe, you know that you are hyping me up. This Zhang Yimou is not as loyal as he seems, and Chen Tian, who has searched for him carefully, knows everything about him.
Zhang Weiping's new picture can be said to be a completely strange company, the company has no signed artists, only signed directors, and what is more interesting is that the company has only one director, that is Zhang Yimou, which can be said to be a company created specifically for Zhang Yimou. All the money Zhang Weiping made in the business field was smashed into Zhang Yimou's movies, and he didn't even have the idea of quitting when he lost money, which is why Zhang Yimou is becoming more and more popular today.
Otherwise, in this era, there are a few people in China who know what a director does, and everyone knows Liu Xiaoqing, Jiang Wen, these people on the screen. It was all thanks to his promotion and marketing of the film that everyone slowly knew that there was a director.
This is the honeymoon period for them, and the cooperation model calls it "no reading the ledger, no reading the script".
So much so that many years later, the "two Zhang" broke up, and Zhang Weiping directly lost his pants and regretted not being at the beginning. And Zhang Yimou kept silent, so that Zhang Weiping couldn't find anyone for several months. The most outrageous thing is that Zhang Weiping, a dozen or so artists who signed a contract, didn't care about it at all, and finally followed Zhang Yimou's leather bag studio.
There is no simple person in the entertainment industry, and from this point of view, he can't put his fate all on inexplicable trust.
"I'm really sorry, Director Zhang, I'm really making a movie, and I can't squeeze out the schedule. And this is a movie that has been squeezed for almost two and a half years, the heroines have learned Chinese, and I haven't started filming yet. It was also my first comedy, and I took it very seriously. ”
When it comes to this, he thinks it's enough.
The next day, Matrix Wushuang Film and Television Company clarified the matter of starring in Zhang Yimou's new movie, and at the same time announced another news, which immediately shocked the media.
"The new film of the great director Chen Tiandu will return to Chinese films, co-produced by China and South Korea. This is a brand-new theme, and it is Chen Tiandu's first attempt at comedy movies after horror films, science fiction films, feature films, and action films. Adapted from a popular Korean web novel, "My Sassy Girlfriend", filming will start in Beijing soon, and it will be released simultaneously in Asia during the Spring Festival! ”
One stone stirred up a thousand waves, especially the Chinese media, and they flocked to it.
In contrast, the South Korean media had already expected it.
"Congratulations!"
"Oscar-winning director Chen Tiandu's new film is adapted from a Korean online novel and will be filmed in South Korea in the future."
Because with the help of Family, the online novel "My Sassy Girlfriend" has been published physically, comics, and audiobooks, and the surrounding text products have flourished. And there have been rumors before that Chen Tiandu has taken a fancy to this story and wants to make it into a movie. But after waiting and waiting, Chen Tiandu has a big-selling work released worldwide, and now he has waited for a year and a half, and he is finally going to make a movie.
Many fans rejoiced! (To be continued......)
