"My grandfather's name is Hu Guohua, the ancestor of the Hu family is a famous landowner in ten miles and eight townships, in the most glorious period in the city to buy three alleys connected to more than 40 houses, during which there have also been some officials and businessmen, donated the former Qing Dynasty grain platform, trough transport assistant.

There is a folk proverb: 'You can't be rich for three generations.' This is very reasonable, even if there are mountains of gold and silver in the family, they can't stand the squandering of the children and grandchildren of the loser......"

Haibo's voice is flat, and it doesn't have the pretended long feeling of a general voiceover, just like the homely tone of three or five friends holding a brazier on a winter night, which sounds flat and kind......

The script of the first part of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" is adapted from the first "Exquisite Ancient City".

However, in "Exquisite Ancient City", there are several stories involved, including the affairs of Hu Bayi's grandfather, including the events of him and Wang Fatzi when they were children, which accounts for half of the entire space.

Of course, it is impossible for the script to use all these non-main line side details, after all, the space is limited, but Wu Tian deliberately listed the first paragraph, about Hu Bayi's grandfather, and prepared to shoot a short film of about ten minutes, which should be an advertising film for "Ghost Blowing the Lantern".

The ten-minute short film is not very difficult for a professional crew, and Wu Tian only took a week to complete the filming.

And these ten minutes will also be the content directed by Wu Tianzhen himself, and the feature film part behind it will be taken care of by Director Zhang.

But just this ten-minute short film made everyone experience Wu Tian's directing style, the level of international big-name directors, and Wu Tian's demanding pursuit of perfection in his works.

The story takes place during the Republic of China, in order to restore the scene at that time, Wu Tian deliberately took the crew to a Republic of China-style film and television base under Tianlong Film and Television Group, looking for a scenic spot that imitated the rural style at that time, and in addition, he also specially hired a prop master with decades of experience, everything was in accordance with the specifications at that time, and there was absolutely no ambiguity.

As for the choice of actors, it is easy to arrange, Hu Guohua is naturally played by Haibo, Wang Erkong is Zhang Xiwu, and there is a female ghost who is a paper person, Ziwen is enabled, and the girl Xiaocui bought by Hu Guohua, that is, Hu Bayi's grandmother, is played by Zhang Ximeng.

There is also a key figure, that is, Mr. Sun, a feng shui master, who is personally involved in the battle by Wu Tian - anyway, Mr. Sun's image has to have a wisp of beard, and Wu Tian doesn't have to worry too much about being recognized when he goes out after putting on makeup.

Such a short story only occupies the length of the original two chapters, but if it is expanded and filmed, it is estimated that it can make a movie of only ten minutes. Under Wu Tian's compression, the entire length was finally compressed to a little more than twelve minutes, which also includes the beginning and end.

Although there is only 12 minutes of content, but in this short 12 minutes, there are climaxes one after another, from paper piercing people to life, to the big rat sending money, and then to the big rat being boiled to death by Wang Ergang, and then Hu Bayi was angry and hurt people, and finally went to the mass grave to dig the grave in desperation, lost his heart and liver, and had no choice but to buy a girl Xiaocui to give to the female ghost, and met Mr. Sun to rescue, and finally Mr. Sun was poisoned by the corpse and passed it to Hu Guohua "Sixteen Characters Yin and Yang Feng Shui Secret Technique"......

"Hehe, these ten minutes of content should be regarded as a practice for you, my requirement is that the special effects must be real, imaginable, but not beyond imagination."

Wu Tian said to the CG animators.

This requirement is also Wu Tian's requirement for the entire "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" movie.

The most attractive thing about "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" is not his imagination, but all the weird and abnormal places described in the book, in fact, are not divorced from reality, and none of them are fabricated out of thin air.

The smartest thing about Ba Sing is that his imagination is well-founded, according to ancient stories, according to folk legends, and even anecdotes from all over the world to process, maybe slightly changed, or slightly exaggerated, and finally presented in the reader's mind, just right between the boundary between imagination and beyond imagination, so that everything seems quite real.

Wu Tian's requirements for movies are also like this, the picture must be dazzling, grand, and even dreamy, but the only thing that can't be done is to create an image that is completely detached from reality and fabricated out of thin air!

Wu Tian knows very well that the most shocking thing is definitely not a monster made up out of thin air, but a well-founded one.

Therefore, for this opening short film, Wu Tian's requirements are true, especially the last two climax points, the picture of Hu Guohua being gouged out and Mr. Sun's demon being removed, Wu Tian would rather be clichéd, and he will not be tricky, digging his heart is digging his heart, and his bloody heart and liver are directly grasped in his hands. And demon subjugation is demon subjugation, the black donkey's hooves are enough, don't learn the sword wielding method of Uncle Lin Jiu.

In fact, in these ten minutes of content, there are few shots that really use special effects, nothing more than heart-digging shots, and the image of the big mouse. According to Wu Tian's request, the stunt team finally completed the stunt production after more than a week of busy work.

As a result, the entire circle of film and television lovers went crazy again......

"Skye Wu, scared the baby to death, I didn't expect you to make horror movies again......"

"Compared with Wu Tian's ten minutes, those domestic horror films and mythological and supernatural films are simply weak!"

"I hope Wu Tian can shoot all the chats, I promise that as long as he shoots it, I will go back to the cinema to buy tickets to watch it!"

""Ghost Blowing the Lantern" can be filmed by Wu Tian, which is really a very wise choice!"

"China is finally going to make an adventure blockbuster comparable to "Raiders of the Lost Ark" and "The Mummy"......"

"What I'm most looking forward to right now is going to the cinema next summer to watch Ghost Blowing the Lantern by myself – why not bring your girlfriend with you? Such a good film, of course, can only be enjoyed by one person to devote himself wholeheartedly to the joy of the film......"

"Don't be happy too early, don't forget, although this film is directed by Skye Wu, but after all, this is ****, even Skye Wu can't restore the original work, I just hope it won't be changed beyond recognition, thank God......"

****************************************************************************************************************************************

There is no doubt that Wu Tian's filming of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" was an adventure.

In fact, the Chinese nation lacks the spirit of adventure in its bones, especially after the Ming and Qing dynasties, the mainstream of scientific thought has been occupied, which has even more seriously deprived the Chinese spirit of adventure. Therefore, when faced with new problems and new things, the first reaction of the Chinese people is often to resist.

Therefore, it is very difficult to make changes in this country.

"I don't think 'Ghost Blows the Lantern' can be classified as a horror film, if you carefully distinguish it, this should belong to an adventure film." Wu Tian said to Yi Qingshu with a serious face, "In foreign countries, adventure films are very marketable, and the more famous ones such as "Raiders of the Lost Ark", "The Mummy", "National Treasure", etc., are very high at the box office and audience acceptance, and Indiana Jones is a household name in the United States. But in our country, there is still a blank for adventure films. ”

"There can be adventure films, but the idea of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" is wrong, the protagonist is a tomb robber, which is suspected of promoting the position of the offender." Yi Qingshu said.

"It's not important, the important thing is that in our story, there is no content of the protagonist stealing a national treasure." Wu Tian said, "Even, if necessary, you can also design a little bit about finally handing over the treasure to the state." ”

"Well, it should be changed like this, besides, there are a lot of superstitions involved in the film?" Yi Qingshu said.

"This can't be changed, and it can't be changed!" Wu Tian immediately said, "If you even change these, is this still called an adventure movie?" Wu Tian said resolutely.

"You can design more monsters and stuff, at least no ghosts." Yi Qing wrote.

The teaser trailer that Wu Tian put on the Internet has a ghost shot, but that's not a problem, because the story takes place before the founding of the People's Republic of China. But the main story behind it is that after the founding of the People's Republic of China, the theory of ghosts and gods will appear again, and it will hit the line.

"Uncle Yi, the purpose of my coming to you is to break the restriction once, if it is all changed according to what you say, then what is the point of me making this movie? Anyone else can shoot it, right? Wu Tian said apportionmentally.

"Hmph, I know you're not at ease, let's talk about it, what do you want to make a fuss about this time?" Yi Qingshu said.

"Uh, how can you say that I'm not at ease." Wu Tian said, "Uncle Yi, do you remember the goal we set last time in "Mythology"? It's just that after the copyright problem in China has improved, I will bring up the film classification system again, and I feel that the time is almost now......"

Yi Qingshu had an expression that knew this, and said: "The copyright problem has indeed improved a lot in recent years, and your film and television copyright alliance has done a good job, which is very deterrent." However, there are still so many pirates on the Internet, and if you really want movies to be classified in the future, how can you do if you don't solve the problem of online piracy? ”

"Uncle Yi, it is impossible to completely eliminate piracy in any place where the Internet is connected, but you can't just choke on food because of this, right?" Wu Tian said, "Only when we do it can we encounter problems and solve them." ”

"But with this movie alone, I'm afraid that the strength is not enough to prompt the ministry and the bureau to change their attitudes." Yi Qingshu said.

"How many movies does it take?" Wu Tian said with a smile.

"It's not a question of how many movies there are, it's a question of how loud the people are," Yi Qingshu said with a smile, "and the attitude of the leaders above, especially the attitude of the old people......

"None of this is important, I think the most important thing is your attitude, Uncle Yi." Wu Tian looked at Yi Qingshu with a smile.

Yi Qingshu smiled and said: "I'm already old, and I can't sit in this position for too long, I just want to do something real before I retire......

Yi Qingshu's sentence is obviously completely different from the current values and political outlook, and the vast majority of leaders now have the mentality of not seeking merit but seeking no fault, and get by.

Because China's official promotion system determines his values, anyway, as long as he sits in the seat and stays steady for a few years, he will always give some achievements.

And Yi Qingshu's words, when I heard it, it didn't seem right, after all, how could he be an official? Any one of your wrong decisions will cause great damage and may affect the survival and life of many people.

But those who really understand know that no one decree can be all right. A decree is considered a good decree as long as it takes care of the interests of the majority of the people, but it is also unacceptable that it harms the interests of the remaining small number of people.

And the facts are the facts, and there are very few people who dare to say such things. Yi Qingshu dared to say this to Wu Tian, firstly, because the relationship between the two sides was close, and he did not have to worry about the risk of being sold when he went out, and on the other hand, it was enough to prove Yi Qingshu's attitude - he also wanted to handle this matter well, and wanted China to launch its own film classification system to change the prospects and pattern of the Chinese cultural market......

"Uncle Yi, thank you for your support." Wu Tian said to Yi Qingshu seriously.

"There's nothing to thank," Yi Qingshu waved his hand and said, "You don't have to tell me how to operate such a thing, and I won't ask." All you have to do is tell me how to cooperate with you. ”

Wu Tian couldn't help but rub his hands excitedly, and a dignified senior said that he wanted to listen to your command, what a lot of trust and how much scenery this must be.

"Uncle Yi, without further ado, the next step is to take down the film bureau as soon as possible." Wu Tian said, "When your side is ready, my side will start to act again to ensure that the problem is solved once and for all."

"Then you start acting, as early as the opening ceremony of your new film, I have already started to prepare, and now that the candidates are in place, it depends on your performance." Yi Qingshu said with a smile.

Wu Tian smiled, it seems that Jiang is still old and spicy, and people are a little ......
