Chapter 322: Making a New Movie
readx;
Journalists immediately began to ask, "What thoughts?" Can you tell us about it? β
Su Li naturally guessed their reactions, and knew that this group of people was most interested in their movements now. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ο½ο½ο½Uο½Eγ ο½ο½ο½ο½
Because Su Li, as an artist, doesn't like to go out for a while, and there are no mansions and cars to hype, and there are basically no scandals. This state of being carefree made it impossible for many people to hype up Su Li, so they focused their attention on his movements.
"This idea ......" Su Li pondered slightly for a while, and then said, "I won't meet with you in the short term, so I won't talk about it for now...... It will be two or three years before this idea can actually be realized! β
"......" Everyone was a little speechless: "Two or three years later?" β
"Yes." Su Li thought for a while and said, "The current plan is relatively long-term...... Maybe when it actually happens, it will be two or three years later. I will be completely prepared in the next three years or so. β
This answer immediately deflated everyone, Su Li has created enough miracles now, so that people have not been able to stop their fierce shock to people since he started making movies, and now, after Su Li's "Inception", everyone is even more feverishly looking forward to the new trends of his films.
It's just that three years after Su Li said this, it instantly made everyone a little listless - 3 years later, it was 2013!
So, immediately a reporter began to ask without giving up, after all, Su Li wouldn't be so stupid, right? In this era of information explosion, how much popularity can he maintain after three years of obscurity? It was impossible for him not to understand this reason, so the reporter hurriedly began to ask.
"So, excuse me, have you been preparing for the movie in three years from now for the next two or three years?"
Su Li shook his head and said: "Naturally not, in these three years, I will still do some things according to my actual situation......" Su Li sighed slightly for a while and said: "During the gap period of these two years, I may direct one or two films to fill the gap, and I myself is very likely to participate in other directors' films...... That's how it was planned. β
"Oh!" The reporters relaxed one after another, Su Li's words reassured them, he will continue to meet with everyone in the past two years, and this is enough. And Su Li said that he would participate in other directors' films, which made reporters ask again: "Participate in other directors' films?" Is it already decided? β
They are quite interested in this matter, after all, with Su Li's popularity now, everyone has no doubt that as long as there are movies in which he participates, even if it is made into a piece of shit, the box office can be topped to more than 100 million! Therefore, everyone is a little strange which director would be so lucky to be able to let Su Li join in.
Su Li didn't want to have any scandals, so he shook his head directly and said, "It hasn't been decided yet, I just have this idea...... I don't know if there's a director who wants it......"
"Shhhh......h If he didn't have a director, what would it be? Su Li also smiled slightly, and soon ended the interview, in fact, what he said today is also quite exciting, he has never publicly responded to this matter recently, this is the first time.
After Su Li said these words, the outside world immediately began to have constant doubts and speculations, speculating about what Su Li said about the plan that could not officially start until 2013, and also guessing what director he would go to star in movies in the next few years. There was a lot of speculation from the outside world, but there was no reaction from Su Li's side, and there was no reaction from his agent, everyone just talked and passed, but Su Li did take some things to heart.
Su Li specially visited Zhang Yimou, and now Zhang Yimou has begun to prepare for his new movie, he was a little busy when Su Li saw him that day, and he didn't have much free time to go in and out. However, he still deliberately made time to meet Su Li, and the two of them didn't talk too formally about "Inception", and now is also an opportunity.
Zhang Yimou still has a relatively friendly smile, but now he is radiant again, and people can see at a glance that he is in good spirits.
"Inception is really good! Far exceeded my expectations. Zhang Yimou smiled: "Americans may have never suffered such a heavy blow...... Look at you right now that you're a piece of gluttony over there. β
"So far, so good, right...... I also made some money at the box office, and I was more sure of what was next. Su Li said: "After more than a year of hard work, I finally achieved the desired effect, and I felt a lot more relaxed." To be honest, when Inception first premiered, I was really scared that the movie would collapse and everyone hated it...... I don't even know what to do. β
"If the movie is made well, everyone will always find out." Zhang Yimou said: "It's the same with this movie, I thought it was one of the best movies I've ever seen, and naturally no one will watch it." Now your Liguang Entertainment Company is about to conquer the European and American worlds with a "Inception...... You're about to conquer Europe and the United States yourself...... This kind of achievement is indeed very good. β
Zhang Yimou kept laughing and praising him, but it made Su Li himself a little embarrassed: "It's not so godly, there are still a lot of luck factors...... If this movie doesn't work, my Liguang Entertainment Company may collapse directly! β
"Yes, but now it's done, so you don't have any scruples about making any movie in the future."
"Hmm......" Su Li nodded: "Are you preparing to make a new movie?" β
"Yes, I told you, "The Love of the Hawthorn Tree", this movie is about to start filming......" Zhang Yimou said: "This movie, I haven't thought too much, as long as the cost can be recovered, the script is given by you, you also know, this is completely the time memory of a generation, it is a great credit to be able to shoot it, if you can earn a little, it is not bad......"
Su Li nodded silently, and then said, "Has the actor been decided?" β
Zhang Yimou said a little helplessly: "There are several candidates for the time being, but they may not be completely suitable...... That feeling may be a bit difficult for the average person to handle. Especially the heroine who has been temporarily set has not acted in any plays, which is more demanding for the male protagonist who plays against her...... It's not quite right for the time being. After saying this, he continued: "Of course, I have to continue to shoot no matter what, this kind of good book, if you miss it, it may be a lifetime regret." β
Su Li looked at him and suddenly said, "Teacher, why don't I play the leading role......
"......" Zhang Yimou was a little stunned for a while, he didn't expect Su Li to suddenly say this, in fact, he also watched the news and heard that Su Li might act in other directors' movies, but he didn't expect him to suddenly say that he was going to act in this movie. However, he could roughly guess what Su Li was thinking in his heart...... From "Nightclub. Since "Supermarket", Su Li's success has always had something to do with Zhang Yimou, and "Inception" and "Source Code" have also provided a lot of help.
At least, Su Li's first film, Nightclub. Supermarket", if it weren't for the fact that he was the executive producer in it, and later helped with the film, "Nightclub. "Supermarket" is definitely unlikely to have such a high box office. When "Source Code" was released, he also did a lot of things in order to win him for theaters and curb piracy, and when "Source Code" was released in the United States, he also borrowed a lot of his experience. In the recent "Inception", he persuaded Han Sanping to supervise the production, and several of his original team all went to help Su Li.
And now, Su Li has become famous, and in the whole of China, his name is worth at least 100 million box office, and he may really be a reward for doing this?
Zhang Yimou smiled gently, he did a lot of things for Su Li, but he didn't think about asking for anything in return, he just wanted to help if he could, support the newcomer, and let him grow up as soon as possible. From now on, what Su Li has done has completely exceeded his expectations, and the achievements he has achieved so far are a little unimaginable even for himself.
But he still said, "You don't have to do that...... Do whatever you want! Don't spend it on this movie. β
In fact, a large part of Su Li's thoughts are indeed to do something for him, for so long, he has been favored by him, and he should always do something. So, he chose this movie. On the other hand, he did not completely fade out of the public eye, and at the same time turned to the drama - before this, although Su Li also acted in "Source Code" and "Inception", but when acting in these two movies, the starting point was business, and there was also a "Nightclub. "Supermarket" is completely a comedy, and he should indeed find other ways to play, not to be completely limited by this kind of commercial film.
"The Love of the Hawthorn Tree" is a good choice, and the reviews of this movie are not too high, but they are definitely not low. Moreover, in fact, there are two parts of "The Love of the Hawthorn Tree" that Su Li can completely avoidβdisgusting and contrived propaganda words that make people rebellious, such as 'returning to the pure land of the soul', and the other part, everyone's expectations for Zhang Yimou are too high, so I think the beginning of this story is a little bland, and many people think that this is the self-entertainment and collective nostalgia of that generation of old people...... Su Li's own screenwriting ability has reached level 10, and he believes that after careful discussion with other people, the film will not be so completely bland in some places.
