Chapter 294 "Past and Present Life" in the eyes of Lu Lijun

When he first walked into the office, Feng Qingyang cried to Lin Feihong about the scene he saw in the wax museum yesterday, and after a night, he was still indignant, if the designer and the foundry were in the office at the moment, Lin Feihong could be sure that the two of them would not escape the end of being beaten.

Feng Qingyang said very indignantly, Guo Wenli was different, I don't know if it was shyness or some other reason, sitting on the sofa with her head down, whenever Feng Qingyang said that she was in a wax posture with Feng Qingyang, her white face immediately turned red, pink and tender, Lin Feihong wanted to take a bite, Lin Feihong found that Guo Wenli wanted to stop Feng Qingyang's unobstructed fast mouth a few times, but she couldn't find a suitable opportunity, for fear that it would sweep Lin Feihong's interest, because she found that her young director was no different from Feng Qingyang, is also very interested in those things in other people's beds, and deliberately looks at himself every time he listens to a sentence, as if Guo Wenli is not wearing clothes at the moment.

So Guo Wenli's face turned even redder, she only felt that her face was hot, as if she was being baked by fire, and her head was already buried in her knees.

Feng Qingyang pretended not to see it, and continued to say it openly, and also listed how to do posture to look better, how to be attractive without losing charm, maybe because he was tired, or maybe he found that Lin Feihong didn't seem to like to listen anymore, so he stopped the topic, and then he saw Lin Feihong ask him what he came to the office today, and Lin Feihong would not run to the company without anything.

"The script to be filmed next has been decided, that is, the book "Wolf and Dragon" that you recommended to me before, this shooting can go in two directions, one is purely based on special effects technology, that is, animation, and the other is based on real shooting and real action.

The first way of filming is relatively simple, and the cost and manpower are relatively low, but if this script is produced in this way, it will be a bit of a waste of such a good script, so in comparison, it is still the old way, played by real actors. But the process is complicated and difficult, there are more extras, and the special effects technology has to keep up. After all, it is still related to fantasy, especially the symbols of the wolf country and the dragon country, the wolf and the dragon have to rely on special effects to be domineering.

A lot of things have to be prepared in advance, your task now is to do these preparations, the extras have to be contacted first, there are definitely not enough actors in our crew, and the war scene does not show the meaning of war without a certain number of people, so there are more extras like this, the more the merrier, the second main content is to find the senior special effects artist as soon as possible, Lin Wenqing has been gone for a few months. This vacancy is still missing, and it must be filled during this time, of course, the premise is that you have to find quality talents, and you can't find scum like Lin Wenqing anymore. ”

Feng Qingyang nodded and said, "The wax museum is almost over." When is this going to open? ”

"There's no rush in this matter, let's talk about it after the filming is over, eh, or wait until you come back after participating in the Oscars this time to open again, you can do the preparation I told you in the next ten days."

"That's no problem, special effects artists have been recruiting lately, and I've received a lot of job seekers' cover letters. I think it won't take long to get the people selected after a period of research. Guo Wenli withdrew from her shyness, and now she is very generous, constantly pouring tea for Lin Feihong and Feng Qingyang.

Feng Qingyang buried his head and didn't know what he was thinking, and after listening to Lin Feihong and Guo Wenli chatting for a while about the character of the special effects artist, he said to Lin Feihong: "After thinking about it, I still think that the script of "Wolf and Dragon" is not very suitable, didn't I recommend "Wolf Divine Comedy" to you before, this script is not bad." At least the script shows no signs of running counter to the current film regime. ”

Lin Feihong took a sip of tea and said to Feng Qingyang: "I know your concerns, "The Wolf and the Dragon" really embodies the problem of human nature, but this kind of human nature problem is not quite the same as that of foreign countries, "The Wolf and the Dragon" is just about a person's inner struggle, a change in human nature. Isn't the ending finally back to square one, although there is blood, big wars, dead people, and cannibalism between brothers, but after all, it is still a comedy, and the two protagonists wake up after struggling for half a lifetime and return to their original good nature, so, anyway, this script has a lot to think about, and the aftertaste is infinite, as for "Wolf Divine Comedy", it does not have so many advantages, even if it has nothing to do with the current system.

It is simply written about the life of the wolf clan, how to defend themselves, how to fight against nature, how to compete with other races, although the whole script is also bloody enough, but it is not as profound as "Wolf and Dragon", it embodies the spirit of struggle of a nation at most, and the whole article tells us that we have to struggle to survive.

And this is also reflected in "The Wolf and the Dragon", the life process of the two protagonists in the ancient wolf country and the dragon country is a process of struggle, it is not only the struggle of life, but also the inner struggle and struggle, which is not found in other scripts.

You're right, "The Wolf and the Dragon" involves the problem of human nature, which is a bit contrary to our current film system, but this is just a sideline, this kind of sidekick is dangerous, and precisely because it is dangerous, the higher its value, which confirms the old saying, the greater the difficulty, the higher the risk factor, the more valuable it is.

We took the risk to shoot this script, and if it passed the review, everything will be fine, we can make a lot of money, if we fail, at most we will start all over again, we don't have the capital to lose now, we can afford to lose, and we have this kind of courage to do a big job, only if we dare to challenge and dare to take this risk, we will have the possibility of great success. There is a risk in doing anything, and the risk is proportional to the income, and the greater the risk, the higher the income. ”

Feng Qingyang didn't answer immediately, took a long breath and said reluctantly: "Since this is the case, I have nothing to say, I will arrange all the preparations, since I have embarked on a risky road, let's give it a good fight, even if you go to the Oscars in ten days, the preparation for filming will be done by me and Guo Wenli, as for the choice of the starring role, you naturally have to go out in person, I can't help with this." ”

Lin Feihong smiled and said to Feng Qingyang: "You don't have to worry about this, if you worry about it, I'm not at ease, actors are the soul of a movie, if you don't choose it well, this movie will lose its vitality, so I have to do this kind of thing myself." ”

If you talk too much, there will always be a leak, and the question of "Wolf and Dragon" is discussed here, and several people shifted the topic to the Oscars ten days later during the tea tasting.

It is not only Lin Feihong and others who have a heated discussion on this topic, but also Lu Lijun of FBC and Zhang Yimu of Tuku.com have great hopes for the Oscars in ten days, and the happiest among so many people is Lu Lijun's little secretary Xiaolin, with a bright smile on her face as if her work really won the Oscar.

"Director Lu, this time our "Knights from Another World" should have a high probability of being nominated for an Oscar, think about it, we can now say that we also belong to a member of Hollywood, which is half an American filmmaker, although the Oscar is an international award, there will still be more people who take care of their own filmmakers, according to me, this time it will definitely win."

Compared with Xiaolin's joy, Lu Lijun's face was not so bright, smoking a cigar and looking out the window without saying a word, as if he was not interested in this Oscars.

"Director Lu, it's not been a few days since "Heroes from Another World" was nominated for an Oscar, why are you not happy, you were very happy when you learned that "Heroes from Another World" was nominated for an Oscar, saying that this is the first time we have won this nomination for the first film, and we celebrated, why are you unhappy today? Don't you have any interest in this international award? ”

Lu Lijun shook his head and said unhurriedly: "It's not that I'm not interested, I'm just worried about whether this work can win the award, and I'm hanging in my heart, although what you said has a certain truth, we can say that we are half an American filmmaker, and our new work is also nominated in the name of FBC, and its honor is the honor of FBC, but our status is not comparable to the local FBC headquarters in Hollywood, not to mention, the Oscar is an international award, not just by the name of the company can be on the top, the key is the quality of the film."

There are more competitors this time, not to mention the competitors of other countries, our country alone is enough for us, Zhang Yimu I don't care about it, the most headache for me is Lin Feihong.

This time, his two new works are very strong, and the total global box office of "Zhu Xian" has also reached more than 8.5 billion, when this movie was released, many people speculated whether this work could surpass "Aragon" and sweep the global box office, although it failed to meet everyone's expectations in the end, and there is still a certain gap with "Aragon", but this result is already very good, our "Knights from Another World" is still in theaters, I am a little worried about whether this movie can surpass the high box office of "Zhu Xian".

Maybe "Knights from Another World" can surpass "Zhu Xian", but it is simply impossible to surpass "Past and Present Life", the high box office of 11.023 billion is not so easy to break through, "Aragorn", which has always been called a god, only has a box office of about 10 billion, which exceeds the box office of more than one billion, breaking the international film record and becoming a new generation of masterpieces.

If any director has this kind of glory, it will not be in vain to waste this career, think about the global reaction when "Past and Present" was released, the global reaction was enthusiastic, at that time the media coverage of this film reached an unprecedented state, the entertainment industry in all countries around the world is the shadow of "Past and Present", Lin Feihong's reputation has truly reached the international leading position at this moment, it can be said that he is now the most successful international filmmaker. ”
