540 Review the script again

The reason why it is said that the action design at the end of "Myth" is the most difficult is not without reason, which starts with Wang Xiaohu's revised script. 【Reading.com】

In Wang Xiaohu's opinion, "Myth" can be divided into two parts: ancient and modern, of which the ancient part is filmed according to the plot set earlier, and the modern part will not develop according to the plot of the original "Myth".

According to Wang Xiaohu and Li Bihua's many discussions, the current script of "Myth" was finally greatly adjusted, that is, all the plots of the first draft were rejected, in fact, it cannot be regarded as a veto, the starring actor is still a Hong Kong native, and he is also an archaeologist, but he has been demoted from an expert to an apprentice.

In the modern part of the script, to show the unpredictable mechanism of the Qin Dynasty and the suspended splendid palace beyond human imagination, these require superb sets, many of which require special effects and special effects, no wonder Wang Xiaohu told Yuan Heping that the special effects alone will cost hundreds of dollars.

Of course, these things don't need Yuan Heping and others to worry about them, their task is mainly to complete the dangerous battle action design of Professor Gu, Tiger, and Princess. So from the moment they came up with this script, these crazy people began to squat in the Concord conference room and toss.

From the beginning of the hands-on program outline, to each person according to the plot to design the action sketch, to later divided into several groups of people for action rehearsal, Wang Xiaohu screened according to the designed actions, and finally determined several sets of actions in combination with his own ideas and according to the comparison of the actions in the original "Myth", but even so teamwork, it was only one-tenth of the huge workload.

"If this continues, I don't know if I will get the Year of the Monkey!" Wang Xiaohu scratched his hair depressedly, and was in a very bad mood. Suo threw all the action design sketches on the table and walked to the balcony to take a breath.

"The concept of time, there is no news on the mainland recently, grandma's, I originally thought that this time I would enter the mainland to shoot very smoothly, who would have thought that it would be so troublesome."

Wang Xiaohu stood on the balcony and scratched depressedly, the phone in the study rang at this time, and he hurriedly returned to the study and grabbed the phone.

"Hey, Mr. Wang, I'm Zhao Gang!" The voice on the other side of the phone was still very hearty, so that Wang Xiaohu almost cried when he heard it.

"Lao Zhao, I finally waited for your call, you don't know that I'm going to die in a hurry these days, if you don't call me again, I guess I'll have to kill Xingshi and ask for the guilt!" Wang Xiaohu said excitedly on the phone.

Zhao Gang coughed twice, and said a little embarrassed: "Mr. Wang, I'm really sorry for you, there have been too many things in the country recently, the college entrance examination system was just restored a year ago, and the Second Plenary Session of the 11th Central Committee was held after the year, and some leaders of the Cultural Revolution were rehabilitated, and now the whole country is busy, so your matter has been delayed, please forgive me, please forgive me." ”

"Lao Zhao, you can't let me shave my head and pick my head hot, isn't it, when will the filming of entering the mainland be postponed?" Wang Xiaohu said depressedly.

"Hehe, didn't I just communicate with Minister Huang Zhen of the Ministry of Culture, the requirement here is to review the script first." Zhao Gang said with a smile on the phone.

"Uh, and reviewing the script again?" Wang Xiaohu raised his eyebrows, and the boss in his heart was unhappy.

Zhang Gang said: "Yes, now is a critical period, we have just ended the chaos in China, and some things must be strictly reviewed and checked, so you have to wait a little." ”

Wang Xiaohu wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, his heart was dripping blood, time, time is wasted by these so-called bureaucracy, Lao Tzu has been preparing for this drama for more than a year, your uncle has only started to ask for the script, why did you do it earlier?

But this is also a matter of no way, the so-called everything is difficult at the beginning, I believe that the mainland will have a complete concept of itself from now on, so Wang Xiaohu endured the unhappiness in his heart, pouted and said: "Okay, review the script, review the script!" I hope you have as little time as possible for your review! ”

"That, Mr. Wang, there is one thing I have to remind you in particular, the script you sent this time is better to be a complete draft, and it is best not to make a lot of revisions like last time, lesp, lest hehe, you should be able to understand, right?"

"Understand, Lao Zhao, don't worry this time, the script will definitely not be revised in any way!" Wang Xiaohu said with a guarantee.

Wang Xiaohu knew why Zhao Gang told him like this, because the script of "Shocking" had such a thing last time, and the script that Wang Xiaohu sent to the mainland for review has undergone great changes after the official start of filming.

In this era, it is not good to cooperate with the mainland, they think that once the script is approved, you have to shoot according to the script, and you can't make any changes and adjustments in the middle, and if some plot development has a bad impact on the image of the mainland, it must be revised.

This reminds Wang Xiaohu of the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television in his previous life, isn't the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television called a black scissor by Hong Kong filmmakers, and many things that can best represent the director's theme and ideas have been cut by the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television, and the editing is messy.

In order to avoid that the leaders of the Ministry of Culture of the mainlanders would misunderstand that the films were all bizarre or too commercial, Wang Xiaohu simply gave a comprehensive explanation of the script, those plots are to promote Chinese culture, which plots are to establish the image of Chinese people, which places can best represent China's great rivers and mountains, etc., etc., the number of words in the explanation alone far exceeds the number of words in the script, and the thick stack of paper wasted Wang Xiaohu's time for nearly a week.

Despite such and such unhappiness, Wang Xiaohu still sent the script of "Myth" to the mainland through the director of the Hong Kong branch of Xinhua News Agency in the fastest time.

It is believed that in a few days, the Ministry of Culture of the mainland will receive the script and review it.

During the review of the script, Wang Xiaohu was not idle, going to the company's conference room every day to check whether the actions designed by Qi Xiaofu were reasonable, and at the same time distributing the script to the main actors in Hong Kong.

Just as important as the script is the choice of actors, according to Wang Xiaohu's plan, he will play the starring role in "Mythology", playing the role of Meng Yi, a general of the Qin Dynasty, and Tiger Tiger, an archaeological apprentice.

The heroine princess did not make Wang Xiaohu nerve-wracking, the original version of Princess Yushu was played by Korean actress Kim Hee-sun, wearing Goryeo national costumes is very eye-catching, even in the Mausoleum of the First Emperor, the white dress is very amazing.

Therefore, the first thing to choose for the princess is to be beautiful, and the second is to be stunning in ancient costumes, at present, there are two candidates for female artists in Concord Company in this regard, one is naturally Lin Qingxia, who has just signed a contract, her costume style is still good, but her appearance is slightly middle-aged, especially her eyebrows.

Another is Wang Xiaohu's wife Zhao Yazhi, the shape of the white lady in her previous life made her a hot mess, becoming a goddess in the minds of thousands of fans, and also becoming the first beauty in ancient costumes.

When Wang Xiaohu told his wife about this idea, Zhao Yazhi was stunned at first, and then a happy smile appeared on her face.

"Ah Hu, in fact, when you changed the script, I wanted to ask you for this role." Zhao Yazhi said with a chuckle.

"Huh?" Wang Xiaohu was stunned.

Zhao Yazhi explained: "In the past, you unswervingly used Hollywood actresses, I can't say anything, after all, you have to think about the box office of the film. Ever since you revised the script, I've been figuring out the princess's last name and thinking the character is a challenge. ”

This is true, when Wang Xiaohu was revising the script, he communicated with Zhao Yazhi and Li Bihua, in fact, subconsciously Wang Xiaohu designed the princess character according to the image of his wife, and Zhao Yazhi also put forward a lot of valuable opinions on improving the princess's character surname.

"Tsk, it's better for my wife to know how to save a lot of money for my husband's salary as an actor." Wang Xiaohu smiled, isn't that the case, the two are husband and wife, and the oldest one is the screen husband and wife.

In addition to the fact that the two were not married when they were in "Righteous Heroes", when filming "Ip Man" and "Ah Hu", when did Wang Xiaohu pay his wife's salary? No, absolutely not, who has ever seen a simple thing that takes money out of his left hand and hands it to his right hand, is it so complicated?

"Humph! I'm not as dirty as you think, I'm just trying to challenge myself. Zhao Yazhi raised her head and said disdainfully: "To be honest, I haven't made a film for many years since I finished filming "A Tiger", and this movie is a big production, and the acting skills of the princess are also very high, and it is still a costume drama, there must be a challenge to filming, I want to act!" ”

Wang Xiaohu looked at his wife, who was addicted to drama, and only smiled bitterly, "If you want to hang Weiya, it may take a long time." ”

"Don't be afraid, your wife won't be so fragile." Zhao Yazhi shook his powder fist and said: "I haven't fallen behind in the past few years, don't think that only you are practicing, I am now the master of two apprentices!" ”

The two apprentices are naturally Lin Qingxia and Lin Fengjiao, and Zhao Yazhi, as the agent of the two beauties, is not only responsible for their normal work, but also buys one get one free to teach them Wing Chun, which is a good story in the film industry.

"By the way, if both of us are filming, who will take care of Jiaen?" Wang Xiaohu suddenly remembered his son, the little guy is not a good role to serve now, he is more than two years old and naughty, running around at home all day long, especially Wang Xiaohu's practice room, this kid has to drill in and out of the practice room every day, and the frightened Zhao Yazhi directly put a lock on the practice room to prevent the child from going in and tossing.

"Well, just leave it to your mother to take care of it." Zhao Yazhi said that there is some expectation here, "Hey, how good it would be if Guohao was still at home, it's all your fault, I promised Huang Shibo to send Guohao to the United States, hmph, there is no free labor to help take care of the children now." ”――
