The movie "Cape No. 7" not only surpasses "Lust and Caution", "Red Cliff" and other top Chinese productions, but also leaves behind invincible Hollywood blockbusters such as "Lord of the Rings 3: The King" and "Jurassic Park", and only "Titanic" can be ranked in front of him.

It can be said that Wei Desheng's filming of "Haijiao No. 7" back then is very similar to Li Xiaole's filming of "If You Are Honest, Do Not Disturb".

Compared with Wei Desheng, it is rare that he did not shoot any movies independently before "Haijiao No. 7", and he achieved the achievements accumulated by Li Xiaole with three films with one debut film.

In "Haijiao No. 7", Wei Desheng almost always relies on the help of friends, and he only has one thing in his heart, that is, movies, such a director, such a hero of Taiwanese films, but at the moment he is begging those big bosses over there, just want to get a little investment.

In addition to the joy of discovering a new goal, Li Xiaole's heart is more of an annoyance, a helplessness, for many people, the film is definitely not as romantic and colorful as its appearance, on the contrary, it is a work full of frustration and difficulty.

In many cases, the director is by no means just a director, he has to find the theme, the funds, the scenes, the actors, the boss, the media...... Many Chinese directors have once sighed: "The time that the director really spends making a film is the least part of the whole process of completing the film."

If he hadn't been backed by the big tree of Zhongying and Han Sanpin, I was afraid that he would be as embarrassed as Wei Desheng at this moment, Li Xiaole couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

"Call him here." Li Xiaole turned his head to Lin Zhiling and said.

Director...... I'm the host now~" Lin Zhiling looked at him with a sweet smile and said, this little director is used to giving orders, and he is playing music again.

"I'm sorry, I forgot ......" Li Xiaole touched his head very embarrassedly, and just wanted to stand up, but saw Lin Zhiling standing up and looked at him with a smile: "I'll just treat you as a requester, you are the director, if you want to call someone in person, it's not easy to talk about things." ”

This Sister Lin is obviously considerate, but she always wants people to remember her good, it's really not cute, Li Xiaole muttered in his heart, just saw Lin Zhiling come over with Wei Desheng, look at it closely, Wei Desheng's eyes are more melancholy than what he saw in the camera before, and he is more angry, although he didn't speak, but Li Xiaole seemed to feel that it was like a pit bull that had been locked in the cage for a long time in front of him, and his whole body exuded a sense of heat and dryness that had nowhere to vent.

"This is the director of Li Xiaole in the mainland, and he is also the director of China Film No. 2 Studio, and "Let the Bullets Fly" was personally invested by Director Li." Lin Zhiling introduced Li Xiaole wearing a high hat.

"Director Li Xiaole......" Wei Desheng's eyes showed a hint of joy, but he immediately felt a trace of worry, and he suddenly stood up and rested for a while, like a child meeting a big star, and he didn't even know where to put his hand.

"I heard you're looking for investment, tell me what story your script is about." Li Xiaole looked at him sincerely and said softly, Jiang Wen and Ge You next to him both thought that this scene was very funny, Wei Desheng was in his 30s this year, and he looked at Li Xiaole, who was only in his early 20s, but he looked like a soldier seeing his superior, and he was very nervous.

"This story is an exquisite Wushe incident, a war between Taiwanese aborigines and Japanese police......" As soon as Wei Desheng mentioned the script, the whole person was glowing, and he began to describe himself as a writer who wrote the haode script 4 years ago.

Li Xiaole didn't make a sound when he listened, but in his mind he recalled the dreamlike "Saidek Bale", just thinking about the mood couldn't help but stir, he has seen a lot of movies, and has made a lot of movies, movies are divided into various types, it is difficult to distinguish which type he loves the most.

But there is a genre that is very special, this type of movie is full of liliang that hits the heart almost from beginning to end, and there is an unparalleled sense of impact, this genre is a war film adapted from a real war.

The wars in the TV movies that are usually seen in the mainland are all beautified, or fictional stories, deliberately creating grief, shame, hatred, and anger, and using skills to construct stories to immerse the audience in this feeling and cannot extricate themselves, such works often describe not the war itself, but a character that the audience likes to watch, and the war is just a monotonous set.

All the war scenes, the plot is for the characters, so although the audience is very cool to watch, it lacks realism, and it is difficult for people to feel the shocking Liliang.

And in real war films, the war is the protagonist, there are countless people in it, the thing is the war itself, the war itself, which kind of cruel and majestic liliang will destroy all the noisy emotions floating on the surface, exuding the human nature of the characters that go deep into the bone marrow, those trivial feelings between men and women, and the short interest struggles of parents will be affected by this; Liliang crushed the broken powder, and people were faced with the choice of nationality, faith, and life and death.

What directors usually have to do is not to exaggerate the tension of these dramatic effects, but to try to reduce the cruelty in the work......

Only films of this genre are most likely worthy of such a level adjective as great, epic, and the great Spielberg made the great "Schindler's List", shining on the dreams of countless filmmakers.

But it is a pity that there is no such work in Chinese mainland, director Feng Xiaogang used "Assembly Number" and "1942" to work hard, but he could only shoot the outline of the tip of the iceberg, and director Zhang Yimou wanted to pay tribute with "Jinling Thirteen Chai", but it was just a lack of weather.

Countless directors are working hard, and countless directors are dreaming, but it is too difficult to shoot such a great war TV, the phone bill is huge, the subject matter is cruel, and the research cycle is long, and the actors are extremely difficult to find, these are all problems in front of the movie.

And "Saidek Bale" did ...... It took Wei Desheng 12 years to bankrupt his family and realize an impossible dream.

But this will have to wait for six years, Wei Desheng will also be convinced for five years, Li Xiaole is itching, this movie is very difficult, and it is indeed not easy for him to make this movie now, but this movie has designed a lot of blasting special effects, as well as the big scenes that those filmmakers have dreamed of for a long time, these things are exactly what Li Xiaole wants to do, not to mention that if such a great movie can be shot by himself, he will be excited just thinking about it, there is still more than a year before 06, since he wants to shoot a work in Taiwan, Of course, he has to make good use of this time to accumulate funds to build his own special effects studio, and at the same time sharpen his directing skills...... In order to make full preparations for going to the United States, after all, if you want to gain a foothold in the Hollywood Major League, it is difficult for Chinese people.

Director Li ...... What do you think of this? ”

Wei Desheng's questioning made Li Xiaole sober up from his imagination, in order to avoid Wei Desheng thinking that he was perfunctory and pretending to frown and ponder, in fact, he was also hesitating, although he liked this type of movie very much, but if he really went to shoot it, it was unknown whether he had the ability to do it, thinking that this movie only got a box office of 15 million in the mainland, he still felt that he was not very down-to-earth......

He felt a little angry in Wei Desheng's eyes when he looked at him like this, because he could see that Li Xiaole hadn't listened to him carefully just now.

Next to him, Ge You and Jiang Wen listened attentively for a long time, and they were also fascinated by it, Wei Desheng's script is not only a good story, the character design is outstanding, but more importantly, Wei Desheng actually said a lot of tribal lines, his pronunciation is very rusty, and he reads it very slowly, obviously not his native language, and the effort in this is obvious.

"I think this script is really good, Director Li, you can think about it, it just sounds too desperate, I can't stand this crime, or I can still play a Japanese." Ge You touched his bald head, obviously moved by this script.

"Eh~" Jiang Wen gently patted Ge You's arm with his hand, signaling him not to talk much, Ge You is just an actor, and it is normal to think that the play is good and wants to act, but from the director's point of view, this play is too difficult, much more difficult than "Let the Bullets Fly", first of all, the language problem, if you want to say that the tribal language alone excludes big-name actors, who would be willing to sacrifice the image to play a tribe, and it will take so much effort?

Second, there are too many scenes involved in this play, and there are grand war scenes, in "Let the Bullets Fly", the 10-minute scene of the mountain and forest bandit battle is like running water, and this "Saidekbalai" is probably more than twice as many battlefield scenes.

And there is one of the most realistic and deadly questions, who is this movie for?

If it is the mainland as the protagonist, then it is aimed at the mainland market, if it is the Taiwanese as the protagonist, you can ******** the market, but all the characters in it are the aborigines of Taiwan, think about a story about the aborigines of Taiwan, will the mainlanders watch it? Would Taiwanese flatlanders be interested?

So in Jiang Wen's opinion, this is likely to be a movie that is not popular, which is why he asked Ge You not to talk much.

"I ...... I...... Director Li, listen to it again, I'm telling you again......" Wei Desheng was very conflicted, looking at Li Xiaole pitifully, he was easy to find someone who was interested in this movie, although he was very angry about his attitude towards Li Xiaole, but at this moment he wanted to kneel down and beg Li Xiaole...... As long as he can make this movie, he can really do anything.

"Well, I probably know, don't think about it." Li Xiaole nodded, stood up and looked at Wei Desheng, whose face was like ashes, and patted him on the shoulder: "Director Wei, let's do it, if you can agree to us to be double directors, I may be able to carry out this project in the form of a co-production, and I can go back and discuss it with the company leaders." ”

The movie "Cape No. 7" not only surpasses "Lust and Caution", "Red Cliff" and other top Chinese productions, but also leaves behind invincible Hollywood blockbusters such as "Lord of the Rings 3: The King" and "Jurassic Park", and only "Titanic" can be ranked in front of him.
