Chapter 250: The director of "The Legend of Mulan"! (It's the end of the month, ask for a monthly pass)
Hou Hongliang has obviously not given up on the idea of Noon Sunshine's independent listing, and he will come forward to contact the Chinese Cultural Fund, Ahri and Penguin to see if there are any new investors willing to buy the shares held by Slope Investment.
If there is no capital willing to take over, then Noon Sunshine will consider accepting the merger and acquisition offer of Pony Galloping, and PwC's independent investigation of the two companies before the merger and acquisition has begun, and after the investigation report is released, Zheng Wentong will hold a shareholders' meeting to explain to shareholders why Pony Gallop needs to merge and acquire Noon Sunshine, and Pony Galloping M&A offer for Noon Sunshine.
Bai Xiaolu Studio has released the costume style of the demon princess Liuying played by Bai Xiaolu, which is also the first time Bai Xiaolu has appeared in a costume.
Liuying played by Bai Xiaolu is a heroic and invincible female general on the battlefield, so her costumes are more masculine. Each outfit is designed with ingenuity, she is holding a long braid, wearing a black military armor, showing the heroic style of a female general.
Bai Xiaolu also uploaded a short video on Weiyin, in which Bai Xiaolu wore costumes in the play and performed a 360-degree aerial kicking video.
Netizens were stunned when they saw this video, because Bai Xiaolu had no martial arts skills before, how could he suddenly make such a handsome martial arts move, and many netizens said that this video is actually a special effect, and the video is also edited.
Bai Xiaolu Studio @ Zhao Wenzhuo, with the text: "Thank you Teacher Zhao Wenzhuo for your hard teaching, so that Xiaolu has the opportunity to feel the charm of Chinese martial arts, to clarify, the weapon that Bai Xiaolu holds in the video is not a knife, but a two-handed sword." ”
Zhao Wenzhuo responded to Bai Xiaolu's studio on the micro headlines, "Xiaolu has an excellent martial arts coach, and he learns things quickly, and he can understand everything, if in the 90s, Xiaolu can also become an excellent kung fu actress, maybe she can become the second Michelle Yeoh." ”
Netizens began to @ Lu Yang, director of the "Embroidered Spring Knife" series, and shouted to the director, ""Embroidered Spring Knife" uses Liu Shishi, "Embroidered Spring Knife: Shura Battlefield" uses Yang Mi, who should be used as the heroine of "Embroidered Spring Knife 3", don't we need to remind you, right? ”
Netizen "Wind Road Chief" commented under the video of Bai Xiaolu kicking a sword in the air, Bai Xiaolu's first costume drama is to play a female general, and the second costume drama "The General is on Top" plays a female general, Bai Xiaolu's ancient costume looks heroic and sassy, and it is very suitable for playing the ancient female generals, Mu Guiying, Mulan, Fan Lihua, Qin Liangyu and so on. I guess the first movie Bai Xiaolu participated in must be a costume drama, playing a female general on the battlefield.
Bai Xiaolu saw this comment and asked her boyfriend, "Is this Storm Dao person a staff member of our studio?" It's not like a comment, it's like a spoiler. ”
Zheng Wentong said: "This is actually a keen insight, the studio released a video of you kicking the sword, and Zhao Wenzhuo began to respond again, fans will definitely speculate whether you will collaborate with Zhao Wenzhuo in a kung fu movie." ”
Pony Galloping has already set up the project for "The Legend of Mulan" internally, and the biggest problem with this film at present is the selection of directors.
Tsui Hark is of course the most suitable candidate, but the relationship between Pony Galloping and Hong Kong directors is relatively average, although Tsui Hark and Zhao Wenzhuo have collaborated on the Wong Fei Hung series of movies, but the relationship between Tsui Hark and Zhao Wenzhuo has long been broken. Tsui Hark was certainly reluctant to come forward to shoot "The Legend of Mulan" produced by Pony Galloping.
Of course, it is not excluded that Tsui Hark took the hundreds of millions of funds from Pony Galloping, and then made a bad movie as he wanted, he took the director's salary and left in style, and then left a mess for Pony Galloping and pitted Zheng Wentong.
This kind of thing, directors and producers do a lot of it. When the coal boss invested in the entertainment industry, the director and producer did not miss the coal boss's money, all kinds of fools, and the coal boss was afraid of the pit.
After being replaced by a capital boss and entering the entertainment industry, the directors and producers of these entertainment circles were cheated by the capital side, and many of them lost in the gambling agreement. This is the good reincarnation of the way of heaven, and the retribution is unpleasant.
At the beginning of the battle of the century between Zhao Wenzhuo and Donnie Yen, Tsui Hark also directly stood on Donnie Yen. When Tsui Hark and Zhao Wenzhuo collaborated on the movie "Knife", Tsui Hark said that Zhao Wenzhuo was busy falling in love with Anita Mui at that time, and he didn't care about it during filming, and his mobile phone called until it ran out of battery, and he had to borrow someone else's mobile phone to call Anita Mui back, which made Tsui Hark unbearable.
In Zhao Wenzhuo's acting career, Leslie Cheung is undoubtedly Zhao Wenzhuo's nobleman, Leslie Cheung helped Zhao Wenzhuo meet many celebrities in the film and television industry, and met Anita Mui after coming and going.
After Anita Mui became seriously ill, Zhao Wenzhuo went to visit several times, but was rejected by Anita Mui, saying that she didn't want the man she loved to see her ugliest appearance. As a result, many people in the media scolded Zhao Wenzhuo for being ruthless, and Zhao Wenzhuo's personality did not like to explain, so he was smeared more and more.
Leslie Cheung said that Zhao Wenzhuo's personality is too stunned and not suitable for mixing in the entertainment industry, in fact, the evaluation is very right, the entertainment industry is full of smiling tigers, the day before yesterday and you were called brothers, and your news was exposed to media reporters when he changed hands, and this kind of news is often nine true and one false, it is difficult to distinguish.
In addition to Tsui Hark, Pony Galloping can currently invite local directors John Woo, Zhang Yimou, Chen Kaige and Ang Lee.
John Woo had better please, because the films he has made in recent years have not been very good at the reputation and box office, the two parts of "Taiping Wheel" almost went bankrupt, and the movie "Pursuit" with Media Asia also failed at the box office and word of mouth.
Before filming "The True Color of Heroes", John Woo studied under the great director of martial arts films on Hong Kong Island, Zhang Che. John Woo's biggest advantage is the sensitivity and imagination of the action, and the work he directed is the sunset on the yellow sand, the sky is like blood, and the rivers and mountains are red, gorgeous and dazzling with sadness.
However, in John Woo's movies, the female characters are not very outstanding, and his most successful works are "The True Color of Heroes" and "Changing Face", both of which are the kind of roles with two male protagonists, and the female protagonist has very little room to play, "The Legend of Mulan" may not be suitable for him.
In addition to Tsui Hark, the second most suitable director is Ang Lee, whose "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" directed by Ang Lee won four Oscars: Best Foreign Language Film, Best Art Direction, Best Original Score and Best Cinematography, and Ang Lee also won the Golden Globe Award for Best Director for this film.
If Ang Lee is willing to go out, Zheng Wentong is willing to equip "The Legend of Mulan" with the most luxurious lineup, and the movie soundtrack invites national treasure musician Tan Dun, and the theme song of Puhai Disneyland "Light Up the Dream in My Heart" is from this big cow.
In addition to Tan Dun, Zheng Wentong will also ask Michelle Yeoh to star in "The Legend of Mulan", the photography is also Ang Lee's old partner Bao Dexi, and the art design is Tim Yip.
However, Ang Lee is relatively busy, and he has two statuettes in his hands, and if he doesn't have a good script project, it is difficult to impress this international first-line director.
Zheng Wentong believes that if Ang Lee is the core and the crew of "The Legend of Mulan" is built, at least a movie close to "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" can be created.
If Ang Lee represents the upper limit of the "The Legend of Mulan" movie, he can produce a Chinese-language action movie with an IMDB score of 8 or more.
Then Zhang Yimou is the lower limit of the movie "The Legend of Mulan", Zheng Wentong can give Zhang Yimou full creative freedom, as an employer, Zheng Wentong will not interfere with Zhang Yimou's creation.
As for director Chen Kaige, the movie "The Legend of the Demon Cat" directed in 16 years has polarized reviews, those who understand it say that it is good-looking, and those who don't understand it say that it is the same bad movie as "Wuji".
When Zheng Wentong asked his girlfriend Bai Xiaolu what he wanted to cooperate with the director the most, Bai Xiaolu thought about it for a long time and chose Ang Lee or Zhang Yimou.
Bai Xiaolu understands her boyfriend's ambitions in "The Legend of Mulan", and Zheng Wentong hopes to win awards at European film festivals through this film.
Because Bai Xiaolu not only has to play the heroic and invincible Hua Mulan on the battlefield, but also has to play the discomfort of Hua Mulan after returning to the field, she is used to the battlefield and stays with her comrades. Having experienced the war, she is no longer suitable for a peaceful life, and this entry point is also more in line with the theme of anti-war.
Zheng Wentong decided to communicate well with the screenwriter of "The Legend of Mulan" "Praying Jun on the Gallows", and first came up with a high-quality script, with a good script, there will be no shortage of good directors ......
