Chapter 51: Anger

There is no impermeable wall in the world, not to mention that Lin Yuquan did it intentionally, so soon, the news that Shuguang Film Company was preparing to start filming the two films "Red Cliff" and "Crazy Stone" spread out.

For a while, the entertainment industry was moved, and star brokerage companies began to inquire about the two movies in every possible way, hoping to get a good role for their actors.

After creating amazing box office results, the current Lin Yuquan is definitely the fragrant bun reported by the media, and almost all the media believe that he is another leading figure in commercial films in the mainland after Zhang Yi and Feng Xiaogang, which even Chen Kaige, who spent 300 million yuan to shoot "Wuji" last year, did not do it, because the current Chen Kaige has not used the box office of "Wuji" to prove himself, and can only wait for the release of "Wuji" according to the box office situation to close the coffin.

At the same time, the young Lin Yuquan is also recognized as the seventh generation of directors after the fifth generation of directors and the sixth generation of directors, but in view of the fact that the current seventh generation of directors can be said to be the only one Lin Yuquan, so when some media simply called him "the new generation of directors", this title was quickly recognized by the media and the public.

What makes the media even more happy to chase is Lin Yuquan's superb performance in "Huo Yuanjia", he not only interprets the grandmaster style of the national hero Huo Yuanjia to the fullest, but also makes people fascinated and enthusiastic with genuine real kung fu and completely real battle scenes, and he was immediately crowned by the media as a new generation of action hope star for this alone.

If ordinary people starred in a movie and called it like this, they would definitely be attacked by the group, but this time no one did it, the amazing global box office of "Huo Yuanjia" brought too much shock, and any refutation seemed pale in the face of this astonishing number. And no one thinks that Lin Yuquan is just a meteor, fleeting and falling rapidly, just like the previous "Kyoto Daily" analysis of the reasons why "Huo Yuanjia" is so successful in North America, not to mention his own directing level and screenwriting level, just with his superb acting skills and the martial arts guidance ability of the world's first person is enough to make him have a place in the entertainment industry, and he is also one of the top emperor superstars in the entertainment industry.

It is not difficult to imagine that Lin Yuquan's new movie "Red Cliff", which is favored by everyone, has a huge sensation once it is announced, not to mention that its huge investment of up to 200 million yuan is also a bombshell.

The showbiz is lively, and the media and the public can't be quiet, a news report from "Jinghua Daily" quickly ignited the enthusiasm of the public, "Because the new generation of director Lin Yuquan, who became famous in one fell swoop of "Huo Yuanjia", will shoot the classic Battle of Chibi of the Three Kingdoms, it is reported that the film has been officially launched and will start shooting after the year. ”

The amazing results of "Huo Yuanjia" have made the public have endless curiosity about Lin Yuquan's affairs, especially those who love kung fu, and because of this movie they like Lin Yuquan, fans who regard him as an idol are even more excited, they can't wait to see Lin Yuquan's new movie, a kung fu film in the Republic of China period is already so exciting, think about the heroes and heroes of the Three Kingdoms period, the battles of thousands of troops and horses on the battlefield, and the thrilling burning of Chibi, just thinking of these scenes is enough to stimulate everyone's adrenaline surge, was filmed by Lin Yuquan, who is extremely good at action kung fu, how can it not make people's blood boil.

Of course, some people are very puzzled, and secretly feel that this guy is too anxious, after all, "Huo Yuanjia" has just been released and offline, and Lin Yuquan has not had a good rest, so he immediately devoted himself to the preparation and filming of the next movie, do you need to work so hard?

And such a question was immediately well solved, and the "Nanfang Daily", which has always had a sharp eye, immediately opened a homepage column to analyze the matter, "The realistic version of the Three Kingdoms War is about to be staged, and the first shooting is just to avoid the edge." ”

In the opinion of "Nanfang Daily", the reason why Lin Yuquan is in such a hurry is because last year Wu Yusen and Beijing Poly Huayi had announced an investment of 300 million yuan to start filming at the beginning of 06, and then another well-known director Xie Jin joined forces with Shanghai Film Group to declare that even if the subject matter collided, "Red Cliff War" must be filmed.

In this way, there are three directors filming the Battle of Chibi at the same time, among which Lin Yuquan is undoubtedly the youngest and the least qualified.

In fact, it is not uncommon for the subject to crash, and it can even be called common, but when they are equal and evenly matched, it is often who is slow and who suffers, not to mention that Lin Yuquan is among the three, no matter how you look at it, he is at a disadvantage, no wonder he will shoot first?

Although it was just speculation, such a reasonable argument was quickly accepted by the vast majority of people, and there was a lot of discussion for a while.

And some shrewd media echoed the follow-up opinions, many of which questioned Lin Yuquan's span from the script to preparation to filming, the span in the middle is so short, and whether he can finally shoot the charm of the perfect epic battle "The Battle of Red Cliff", after all, Wu Yusen started last year and is expected to shoot next year, which took two years of preparation time before and after, and Shanghai Film Group has been preparing for more than 20 years in a low-key manner.

At present, Lin Yuquan is shooting in a hurry, and it is inevitable that it will become a shoddy work, and he will waste huge manpower, material and financial resources in vain.

Among them, Feng Zhongji, the editor-in-chief of "Jinbao", who has always spoken sharply, ridiculed Lin Yuquan's approach in his column without concealment: "According to the news revealed by Shuguang Film Company, Lin Yuquan, a new generation director who has just proved his all-round ability in "Huo Yuanjia", can't wait to announce his new film plan when the film is not completely over. It is understandable that the young man is high-spirited, especially since he has just achieved unprecedented results that do not match his age, but what is surprising is that this highly anticipated young director has chosen the battle of Chibi with the same theme as the famous directors Wu Yusen and Xie Jin. There is only one word difference between self-confidence and arrogance, but the difference between them is worlds apart. As we all know, although it is impossible to require a film director to be a philosopher of history at the same time, the ability to grasp history is a necessary humanistic element for directing historical films. Xie Jin, who once directed "** War", has obviously proved his ability to the audience, Wu Yusen has also had the experience of directing historical films, and Lin Yuquan obviously has no such experience, and his age is difficult to believe that he has a heavy historical precipitation Nowadays, the young director is no longer willing to make a small fuss, under the demonstration of Zhang Yi and Chen Kaige's giant films, he is blind and arrogant and makes extremely stupid decisions, yes, stupid, here, I bet that its box office will inevitably suffer a fiasco, Perhaps its only contribution is to sound the alarm bell for the mainland film industry with the fiasco of "Future Water World" and "Final Fantasy". ”

As an influential newspaper in the north, Jinbao has a circulation of more than one million copies per issue, ranking among the top 20 newspapers in the country in terms of circulation all year round.

Not to mention others, even Lin Yuquan's die-hard fans, although they firmly believe in his ability, they still can't help but pinch a cold sweat for him, worried, for fear that they will not be able to compare with Wu Yusen and Xie Jin when the time comes, and they will be completely defeated.

"Smack", Lin Yuquan put down the newspaper in his hand heavily, pointed to Feng Zhongji's column and said to Ding Zhi and Xiao Ran in front of him: "What do you think? ”

The room was filled with a solemn atmosphere, Ding Zhi and Xiao Ran glanced at each other, obviously from Lin Yuquan's cold voice, they heard his anger at this time, in their impression, Lin Yuquan had never been like this, the severity of the situation was self-evident, the two did not rush to answer, each carefully raised words.

Lin Yuquan was really annoyed, to be honest, he actually didn't know that Wu Yusen and Xie Jin were preparing to shoot "The Battle of Red Cliffs", the reason why he filmed "The Battle of Red Cliffs" was only because he had the memories of cultivators in his mind as a reference, and he was familiar with the war scenes in the era of cold weapons, and he had a natural advantage over ordinary types of romance, comedy, and horror films.

Because of this factor, he didn't have the slightest worry about colliding with the two.

He understands the doubts of the outside world, if it is an ordinary young director, the preparation time is so short, of course, it is difficult to shoot well. But after all, he is unique, unlike Wu Yusen and Xie Jin, who need to think about the scenery and armor, weapons and other props of the war scene for a long time, these things are ready-made in his mind, although they are not the same as the real Three Kingdoms period, but what does it matter, he is not making a documentary, so he only needs to let Ye Jintian rush out the props and set up the venue according to the design he provided before it can be put into official shooting, and it doesn't take too long.

As for the understanding of history, as others have said, he himself does not have too philosophical ideas, and he has never thought about what history should be rendered.

Maybe it's because of personal preference, his favorite movies with hot and shocking scenes, and of course comedy movies are also good, so what he wants is to make "Red Cliff" an epic war masterpiece, so that the audience can appreciate the golden iron horses, sparks and broken bones of the army in the era of cold weapons, which will be mixed with the plot of power, love, and protecting the land of his hometown, but to hell with preaching or something!

Watching movies, reading novels, listening to songs, and watching dances, isn't it just a cool word when human beings pursue leisure and entertainment? There's nothing wrong with that.

There is nothing perfect in movies, all factors can be included in them, good movies are often in a certain aspect, to the extreme, and isn't that what he wants to do?

Lin Yuquan doesn't care much about doubts and worries, but the question is?

"Arrogance, stupidity, bound to fail miserably, the only contribution is to be a model of fiasco, good, good."

If it's just criticism, it's better to say, who hasn't been criticized, and he doesn't have the right to stop others from making remarks, can't he criticize the singer's singing skills and style if he is not a singer? Can't you be dissatisfied with a movie if you don't have a director? There is no such statement, but the premise of the criticism should be that he did something wrong, but he hasn't even started filming yet, Feng Zhongji has sworn that he is doomed to failure.

And the insulting words in it are even more unbearable for him, the first time in his life that he has encountered such a bad thing, the clay people have three points of anger, not to mention that he has done nothing wrong, he is not powerful, Feng Zhongji really thinks that he is a sick cat and is easy to bully.

For the first time, he felt like he should do something.

"Boss, the other party's statement contains obvious personal attacks, we can clarify it in the media newspaper on the one hand, and on the other hand, ask Feng Zhongji, the editor-in-chief of Jinbao, to publicly apologize in the newspaper column." Ding Wei said unhurriedly.

Lin Yuquan was noncommittal, this approach is too conventional, not to mention whether Feng Zhongji is willing to apologize publicly, even if he agrees to apologize publicly, but for him, who is a media person, this so-called public apology is also a matter of using a pen, there is nothing that cannot be wiped off, and he can't even lose half a hair.

This is not the effect that Lin Yuquan wants, what he wants is more ruthless, which can hurt Feng Zhongji at once, so that he will never dare to grin at himself in the future.

"Boss, why don't I arrange a variety show and talk about your ideas for "Red Cliff" in the show, dispel the public's doubts, and enhance their confidence in the movie." Xiao Ran hesitated, but still said, although Lin Yuquan is not in love with variety shows, this is a good way, in fact, this is a crisis public relations, and Lin Yuquan himself is the most effective.

"Forget about variety shows, the best way to prove yourself is not to say it with your mouth, but to rely on your works to speak, and to fight back appropriately." Lin Yuquan shook his head, his eyes suddenly became extremely sharp: "I just want to give Feng Zhongji an unforgettable lesson, you can help me contact the "Kyoto Evening News"!" ”

"Boss, are you arranging an interview?" Xiao Ran became a little excited, this was what he had always wanted.

It's a pity that Lin Yuquan's next words were like a basin of ice water, which instantly extinguished the enthusiasm that had just risen in his heart, and made him feel a little uncertain.

"No, just let them pass on a message for me."
