On January 18th, the directors of China Film Group were holding their annual year-end celebration banquet, and the huge success of "Let the Bullets Fly" at the box office made the whole group happy.

Although the leaders of the Film Bureau criticized "the behind-the-scenes footage of Li Xiaole's third version, which is a serious violation, and is suspected of deliberately challenging the review work of the Film Bureau, it is recommended that China Film Group deal with it seriously." "But having said that, under the premise that the box office of "Let the Bullets Fly" is close to 700 million, all this is no longer important.

Several directors led by Shi Stone, Li Xiaole, who protested before the start of "Bullet", wasted the group's resources, and praised the great achievements of the second studio with a smile at the celebration:

"I hope that other directors and comrades in the group will also give full play to their innovative spirit, create novel themes, have the courage to forge ahead, and dare to be the first......"

Thousands of employees of the group performed the show, the lottery was drawn, and the scene was very lively, but everyone didn't seem to find the protagonist who should appear here today, Li Xiaole, the director of the second studio.

"Mr. Han, where is Director Li going?" "Mr. Han, what is his next Jihua? Do you want our factory to help, our factory has a lot of people~" The directors of several studios all surrounded Han Sanpin and asked, but Han Sanpin just shook his head frequently and said, "I don't know." ”

It wasn't until Han Xiaoli made an excuse to pull him out of the crowd that Han Sanpin was able to breathe a sigh of relief, and after taking a long breath, he tried to relax his cranial nerves that had been tense.

"How? Has the theater's account arrived? This time, the group's cinema is estimated to have an overall profit of about 400 million, and the cinema line should not be in arrears. Han Sanpin rubbed his temples and reluctantly opened his eyes and asked Han Xiaoli.

"Last month has arrived, there are 1. 700 million repayment funds...... After calculation, Director Li's dividends alone are nearly 150 million. Han Xiaoli was very envious.

"150 million ...... Even if the cost is deducted, his profit is 40 million, this kid's assets are only more than 100 million now......" Han Sanpin shook his head with a smile, feeling that this number was too incredible, the annual budget of the entire group was not more than 100 million, Li Xiaole only made a few works, and his personal worth was worth as much as the annual investment of a group of China Film a few years ago......

"Well...... This is only temporary, it is estimated that the domestic box office of "Bullet" should be more than 700 million, and the overall box office profit is 2. 5.7 billion yuan, plus the royalties sold in Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Southeast Asia have reached 95 million, the royalties of the United States and Europe are 32 million, and the audio-visual products are about 15 million...... deducting the cost of the group's 65 million publicity expenses, and Director Li's personal dividend must be more than 200 million "Han Xiaoli added.

"200 million...... No wonder, that's no wonder. Han Sanpin looked up at the sky thoughtfully, and Director Wei of the Children's Studio next to him came to say hello without noticing, and the embarrassed Director Wei had to be embarrassed and didn't dare to come over.

"What does Director Li want to shoot next?" Han Xiaoli asked curiously, this is also the issue that everyone is most concerned about at today's celebration party before the year, and now everyone in the group now feels that they will definitely have a good life with Li Xiaole, and everyone wants to inquire about the news of his next work, hoping to get a piece of the pie.

This time "Let the Bullets Fly" made everyone completely conquered by Li Xiaole, everyone in China Film Group is looking forward to the future, and their hearts are full of ardent hope, this situation is what Han Sanpin, Han Xiaoli, the two new chairman and general manager, is looking forward to the most, and since this time, the two of them have really felt that they have become the real masters of China Film Group.

And all this is based on Li Xiaole's work, what is his next work? Can we maintain the current level? Han Xiaoli was looking forward to it in his heart, but he was also a little worried.

"Saidek Balai......" Han Sanpin's tone was complicated, as if he was thinking about something.

"What? Race what? Han Xiaoli obviously didn't understand the meaning of the name, which sounded like the name of some European novel.

"Have you seen Schindler's List, Braveheart?" Han Sanpin suddenly turned his head and asked him with a wry smile.

"Of course I did."

"The content of this "Sedek Balai" is a bit like the Taiwanese version of "Braveheart", and the form is like "Schindler's List"." Han Sanpin squinted his eyes and said.

Han Xiaoli was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and he didn't react at once, "Schindler's List" and "Braveheart" are both documentary films, which are very difficult to make, not to mention, and they have nothing to do with business at all, this is not like the style of Li Xiaole, a big director of commercial films.

"Let's go back and study it......" Han Sanpin looked at the elated colleagues around him, and could only smile wryly and shake his head.

Li Xiaole squatted in front of a huge sand table, looking at the small models of aboriginal tribal buildings on the sand table, looking at the imaginary scenes of the streams and mountains in front of him, touching his chin and thinking about the camera.

At the moment, Li was wearing a cloth robe of Taiwanese aborigines, with a turban on top of his head, a totem drawn with a black pen on his face, a glittering scimitar at his waist, and squatting on the ground barefoot.

On the side, there are several models of Japanese destroyers from World War II, each of which has a plastic figure on it, and Li Xiaole constantly puts various models and plastic figures on the ground on the sand table to adjust the position.

"It takes nine scenes...... More than 243 buildings have been erected...... The main cast is 78 people......" Li Xiaole frowned slightly, carefully calculating everything needed for this movie.

As he spoke, he picked up a pencil and drew a few strokes on the A4 notebook, the thick drawing of that step was not the script of "Sedek Balai", but the scene design draft of the film, which was full of sketches of various buildings and character scenes.

This time is different from any previous movie, the script of "Sydek Balai" originally had a historical background, cartoonist Qiu Ruolong used comics to create the second draft, and then added Wei Desheng spent 5 years perfecting the script, the script itself has been excellent in all aspects, Li Xiaole does not need to change too much.

But...... The real challenge is how the film was made...... This film can be said to be an unprecedented epic masterpiece in the history of Chinese films, and the difficulty in making it far exceeds that of any previous Chinese film...... Among them, there are so many difficulties on the jishu that just thinking about it makes Li Xiaole's scalp tingle.

According to Paramount's five-star rating on the difficulty of film production, most domestic films are not star-rated at all, and the filming difficulty of "Let the Bullets Fly" is rated as 2-star difficulty by Paramount's experts, and the only mainland film higher than him is "Hero", which was selected as a three-star star.

The difficulty of "Saidek Balai" is rated as a four-star ...... Paramount's filmmakers said of the film: "There are too many stunts, too many locations, a huge number of actors, dangerous action, and the director expresses the essential desire for film in an almost paranoid way." ”

True, cruel, everywhere reveals the soul of traditional culture, all of which are the style of "Saidek Balai", these three are combined with each other, the real and beautiful picture will be fascinating, and the audience will be violently shocked by the cruelty of the war, and the duel between the souls of the two nations in the war will make people tremble; It's all like a chain, one link after another, but it starts with a beautiful picture and ends with the myth of the soul of the nation. The success of the film can be said to start with the beautiful picture.

So how should a beautiful picture be constructed? On the construction of the scene, the story belongs to the story, just talking about the plot of the story, you must not leave those scenes of the 30s, which cannot be avoided, although it takes a lot of effort and the cost is huge, but the charm of the movie is here, the shock is here, and the past is truly shown in front of the world.

And on this basis, it should be artistically processed, so that everyone can enjoy the picture.

After Li Xiaole put all the props on the sand table, he also felt quite shocked, he didn't expect the difficulty of this movie to be so high, and he even almost gave up for it a few days ago.

When he saw "Saidek Balai", he didn't do in-depth research, he just wanted to improve himself on jishu, he had made 4 movies before, a TV series, more or less a comedy plot to please the audience, and this was his first time challenging the main drama, and he had a feeling of being out of control that he couldn't grasp the story.

Suddenly, in the face of a huge subject matter, Li Xiaole suddenly felt a sense of insignificance as a director, just like Spielberg in the 90s when he first got "Schindler's List", the great director suddenly fell into a sense of powerlessness, but Spielberg found Martin Scorsese and Roman Polanski, the two masters, hoping that they would help.

And Li Xiaole also drew a gourd in the same way, and contacted Zhang Yimou, wanting to get some help about this type of subject matter from the great director, but the answer he got was the same as Martin Scorsese, Roman Polans replied to Spielberg, Zhang Yimou told him:

"This subject is too heavy and very sensitive, and it is very, very dangerous for the director, and if you go to shoot, it is difficult for you to gain the understanding of the average audience, who does not want a real and cruel story, but a beautiful and simple story......"

Then Li Xiaole called Feng Xiaogang again, and Feng Xiaogang told him: "This kind of movie, after the Chinese film market matures and the audience's understanding ability matures, it is more appropriate for you to shoot it, I think this process will take at least 10 years." ”
