Chapter 351: A role model in the literary and artistic world

The reason why Zhang Guoshi was able to become a national teacher, in addition to relying on art films in the early stage to brush up on the international stage, "Hero" and the Olympic Games are two very important things, through guò the former he proved that he not only has the ability of art director, through guò latter he proved his artistic level and control ability, simply can make art films, or simply can make commercial films, or simply can direct big scenes This is nothing, can combine these three is the real strong, Although he may not be the best in all three, you can't find someone who is more balanced in all aspects and can take care of all aspects more than him.

In comparison, Director Chen and Director Feng are always inferior to Zhang Guoshi in this regard, which is why others have become national teachers, and the reason why there is still a huge gap between the two of them, Director Feng has already figured out the taste and has already thought about transformation, but Director Chen is much more rigid in his thinking in comparison, a little old-fashioned, and he returned to the old road after losing a game.

If it were in the world without Shen Zhenghui, Director Zhang would simply dominate until the Chinese market grew to the point where it could accommodate the next domestic film with a box office of more than one billion, Director Zhang might be like Spielberg in the future, he may still have appeal in the face of the box office, but more may be powerless, he will become a symbol of Chinese films, rather than the director himself. v

However, in the world with Shen Zhenghui, there seems to be a feeling of thorns in the back of the directors in the Chinese film industry. Maybe Shen Zhenghui's previous films, such as "The Assembly" and "Shanghai Fortress" can still be ridiculed as propaganda films, "The Cruel History of Peking High School", "Fenglin High School", "Black Fist" and "Hurricane Rescue", "New Police Story" can also be regarded as Hong Kong action movies, but when "Magic Apprentice" came out, the hard achievement of finally taking away 6 billion US dollars became a reason why others cannot criticize. Even if he once looked down on Shen Zhenghui and despised the lack of artistic literacy in his films, he couldn't help but admit that he could control such a big scene as "The Magic Apprentice". Tell the original story layer by layer, even if the film itself is the tone of a commercial film, you can't help but admit that Shen Zhenghui has control over his own movies, and if this level of control is placed abroad, it is with Peter Jackson and Spielberg. Cameron. James is on a par, even in China, if it can be compared with Shen Zhenghui's works, if you overcome all kinds of prejudices, the only thing left is those classic old movies.

However, domestic films do not have a box office of six billion dollars.

Therefore, domestic directors watched Shen Zhenghui show miracles in front of them step by step, crushing their confidence little by little, and setting up a benchmark that almost no one can reach. Their hearts are broken, and Shen Zhenghui was expelled from the ranks of domestic film directors from the beginning, and a separate position needs to be set up. But on the other hand, Shen Zhenghui is also the confidence of all Chinese film directors, since he has made such an example, it proves that Chinese directors themselves can make a difference. In contrast, Li An and the others seem to be Shen Zhenghui's footnotes.

Now, the recognition of the Tongguò system has added a new layer of brilliance to Shen Zhenghui. This makes the Chinese film industry, who regards him as an enemy or an idol, a little mixed. Although he received official recognition, it seems to be a little low. But there seems to be no domestic peers who can talk to him at all, and the three major domestic directors are not on the same road with him at all, and the fierce rising star still takes his investment. Then, in the blink of an eye, Shen Zhenghui announced his plans for his next film. He will be supervising the live-action film of the Fate series, and the news has caused different waves among different people.

The domestic film industry is relieved: others don't play with you at all. At the same time, the companies that were worried about the prequel to Apprentice Magus were relieved, while the niche Fate fans expressed their excitement and excitement. In particular, Japanese netizens said with great expectations: Although Shen Zhenghui is Chinese, he is still very much looking forward to the live-action movie he supervised, and it is certain that at least the level of the actors must be top. The director is Miyamoto, who is also a popular director among Japanese otaku, and although his films have always been popular, they always give people a wonderful sense of disobedience, and they have not done well at the overseas box office. Japanese netizens have left messages on Miyamoto's blog, hoping that under the care of Shen Zhenghui, he will grow up quickly and become a great international Japanese director. - "At the same time, I hope you can make the Moon World a real person as soon as possible. This is a message from a senior fan of the moon, and it has received a lot of approval.

Light novels, comics, and animation live-action is the biggest difficulty in casting, if the character modeling is not enough to support everyone's expectations from the beginning, then the live-action movie will fail half of the first place, and it has to rely on clever plot design and enough exaggerated performances to attract people, which requires quite high acting skills. On the contrary, if the styling is satisfying, then even if the performance is pompous or excessively violent, it will make up the audience's own brain: Wow, that's it, it seems!

I have to say that the two-dimensional and the three-dimensional are indeed two worlds.

But Shen Zhenghui's stroke made everyone full of confidence in this movie, and even said that they couldn't wait to see the finished film. Because Kasuga announced that it has been with Taylor. Swift reached an agreement and signed with Taylor. Swift will play the role of Saber in the "Fate" series, and released Taylor. Swift's audition photo. The photo quickly became a topic of discussion on the Internet and has become more and more popular.

In the face of King Arthur's dull hairy style, Japanese netizens shouted kawaii and announced Taylor. Swift is the essence of Saber. And this topic has also aroused interest in Europe and the United States, and the story of fate itself is not very difficult to understand in the context of European and American culture, and the discussion focuses on the gender of King Arthur. Just as the Japanese egg hurt Uesugi Kenshin is a woman, and the Chinese egg hurt Guan Yu is a woman, the British led the Europeans to play this game with great interest. Summoning heroes from human history is a game that can sometimes be played with a lot of brains, so the Japanese side is also happy to find that the sales of the Fate series are increasing. Although the current Prime Minister Taro Aso is not friendly to China, he still expressed his praise for Shen Zhenghui in public, saying that he has made great contributions to the development of ACG in Japan - "I am also looking forward to the film version of "FATE". But so far, it is not known which live-action part of "Fate" is live-action? Is it FatestayNight? ”

This incident certainly highlights Shen Zhenghui's status, but in comparison, Shen Zhenghui sometimes can't understand the country's top leaders talking about a director's works in public, except for those who deliberately pull the box office. Judging by his own attitude. Japan is completely finished. Unless Mitsumi Fukuda is replaced as prime minister, of course, if Mitsumi Fukuda becomes prime minister and does not restructure the entire Japanese system, it will still be doomed.

A saber candidate has aroused a lot of attention and caused the movie to become popular before it was made, which may be unimaginable to others, but when it comes to the level of Shen Zhenghui, it is a common thing. The same is true for ordinary big directors, and the media desperately hopes to dig up the news of these big directors' new films. went to great lengths to write reports such as Mou Girl and Star Girl, but in the end, it was not because the works of big directors triggered a big box office, so it was also a shortcut to fame.

So Taylor. Swift suddenly became the darling of the media, although in terms of fame, she was already a star. But this young man who has just turned twenty years old has no acting experience at all except for singing. The media hopes to dig out the inside story, what is the reason why Shen Zhenghui falls in love with her.

Taylor. Swift's answer surprised many. She said that Shen Zhenghui's director took the initiative to find her, and after auditioning, she officially decided to play Saber. "I knew it was hard to believe, and I felt the same way, but he looked at my look and said I was a perfect fit for the role and wanted me to play it." This makes me how to refuse. You must know that he is the director of "The Magic Apprentice". I had the audacity to say, 'But, director, I didn't study acting at all, I didn't know if I could do it well.' He said at the time. It's okay, you don't have to perform, because you're her. Taylor Swift shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands.

The media then interviewed readers of "Fate," and few criticized Shen's decision, and even the most conservative people felt that they should wait until the film came out to evaluate Taylor's performance. Of course, there are also blind people who say that since he is the director of "Apprentice Magic", it is obvious that Taylor will definitely perform very well.

"You know," he said, "the apprentices are all kids, and there are Thais, and since even the Thais can become acting under his tutelage, then I think Taylor will be able to do the role, you know, it's the director of 'The Apprentice of Magic,' and it's Taylor." Of course, the gentleman said that the Thais might be referring to racist language such as monkeys in the woods of Southeast Asia, and the TV producer was kind enough to help him replace the subtitles.

When the interview arrived in Japan, the hometown of "Fate", the reporter interviewed almost every man she met agreed, these people said that just by looking at the face, they knew that Taylor was the best candidate for Saber, and then the TV station found the animated image of Zuò produced by Nippon TV before, in terms of character modeling, Taylor. Swift's knight-king style does have a certain degree of divine restoration, and just relying on this kind of Cheng dù's cos, she has gained the greatest recognition, which surprises the reporters who do the interview. Even in the UK, King Arthur does not seem to be offended by the fact that he is a woman, on the contrary, the British are equally looking forward to the early release of the film Saber played by Taylor. At the same time, they also hope that there will be a few more British actors in the movie. Shen Zhenghui used a large number of British actors in "Magic Apprentice", and even many actors overlapped with the "Harry Potter" crew, which made the British people have a certain sense of pride. Although they also approved of Taylor's Arthurian look, they preferred to be a purely British person to play the role.

The outside world is disturbed, and under the supervision of Shen Zhenghui, the preparation of the film is proceeding in an orderly manner, and for the sake of cosmopolitanization, the story does not start with the earliest completed "Fatestaynight", but from the "Fatezero" of Xuyuan Xuan, because the heroes who appear in this novel are more recognizable in the world. In terms of characters, except for Taylor Swift who has attracted enough attention, the other actors are low-key enough, but in terms of strength, they can stand the test. Shen Zhenghui made full use of the resources of Sony and Colombia, and Varro created a large number of actors with powerful looks and acting skills, and the key is that after applying makeup, it can really achieve the effect of not much different from the characters designed by the painters.

For Shen Zhenghui, who has already formed the movie in his mind, it is not difficult to adjust the performance, this movie is also aimed at the visual effects, the technical problems and the training of the actors are not difficult to overcome in the case of money and time, and the biggest problem on the scene is not so much the understanding of the language and culture that has been achieved. However, this is not a difficult task for Shen Zhenghui, who has a lot of experience.

The key is how to train Miyamoto to have the same vision as himself, and if he doesn't cultivate such a group of Japanese directors, he will have to be busy with the live-action of piles of anime movies in the future.

Shen Zhenghui said to himself.

At this moment, although Miyamoto is nominally a director, he is still busy like an assistant director, discussing the plot with the Fate trio, communicating with the art team to discuss character design, and talking to the makeup team about the requirements for character modeling. He even went to a special meeting with the martial arts instructor team to discuss how different styles of martial arts movements such as Western fighting skills, Middle Eastern fighting skills and Japanese fighting skills can maintain a consistent style in a film, until Shen Zhenghui couldn't stand him doing this, fixed him in the director's office, and let him draw his own storyboards. In this way, Miyamoto became more and more restless, begging himself to work.

This is the fate of an assistant director! (To be continued......)
