The movie "The Witch" is a suspenseful sci-fi action movie in the country of sticks. And it's not fictional, there are really suspense, science fiction and action in the movie, and even these three elements are very appropriately combined in this movie.

This is a very good-looking movie, but it can't be said that there are no shortcomings, the shortcomings of the movie "The Witch" are that there are too many literary dramas, or that the foreplay is too long and verbose. It will make people's sense of watching the movie decrease, and even if they don't know the content behind it, people who watch this movie may feel bored in the first half of the movie, and then stop watching this movie directly.

And "The Witch 2" has an even more serious problem, not only magnifying all the problems of the first part, but also making a lot of messy branches that don't seem to make any sense at all.

The problem with the two movies in the witch series, in general, is that the drama is lengthy, there is too much foreshadowing, the dialogue is ineffective, and there is a lot of nonsense. The problem with "The Witch 2" is that the drama is more lengthy, there is more foreshadowing, the dialogue is more ineffective, and the nonsense is more continuous......

However, the literary part is handled well, some foreshadowing is as concise as possible, and the invalid dialogues and nonsense are all removed, and the witch series of movies will also be a very good movie series.

And now, if Zhang Yuxuan wants to make the movie "The Witch", he naturally needs to avoid these problems.

Of course, in terms of the script, Zhang Yuxuan still only provides the outline, and as for the specific content filling, it is still handed over to the screenwriting department of the studio.

After all, the reason why Zhang Yuxuan set up a screenwriting department and spent money to support these screenwriters was to let them improve the script for themselves.

As for the script of "The Witch", Zhang Yuxuan handed over the main line to the screenwriting department very early, so a few years ago, the script was written, and it was also recognized by Zhang Yuxuan.

This is also why Li Hao said that after the Chinese New Year, he would make this movie first.

As for "Nobody", many people say that this movie is imitating Ning Hao's movie, indeed, in this movie, there are indeed some shadows of Ning Hao's crazy series of movies, but most of the movies are like this, in fact, many movies can find similar shadows from other movies. It's like writing, the same type, it always seems that the plot or other things are similar or similar.

But in any case, the movie "Nobody" is indeed a good movie, although there will be some problems more or less, but it is harmless.

And when it comes to "The Nameless", I have to mention the director of this movie, Rao Xiaozhi, to be precise, Zhang Yuxuan remembered the director Rao Xiaozhi because of "The Nameless", and then Zhang Yuxuan wanted to pull this director to his studio.

After all, Rao Xiaozhi is not famous now, and he cannot be said to be a successful director, if you want to recruit him, it should not be a difficult thing.

And Li Hao is the person responsible for recruiting Rao Xiaozhi.

"Why didn't you tell me before, Rao Xiaozhi and Li Erniao established the Spring Studio together." Li Hao, who went to recruit Rao Xiaozhi, complained to Zhang Yuxuan after he came back.

"Huh? Rao Xiaozhi and Li Erniao established Spring Studio together? Zhang Yuxuan was stunned.

"That's right, the two are still in a relationship." Li Hao nodded.

"So, it's impossible for this Rao Xiaozhi to be recruited?" Zhang Yuxuan's expression was a little subtle, Li Erniao? He doesn't seem to be as active as before now, to be precise, Li Erniao's active time is actually after he took over the filming of Zhang Dabeard's two Jin Yong dramas, and then relied on eating soft rice to make his popularity and status continue to improve, but later, his popularity slowly declined, and then later, he would even quit the entertainment industry and go into business - of course, he didn't have that brain, almost what to do and lose anything.

And now, Li Erniao doesn't seem to have announced his retirement from the entertainment industry.

"No, Rao Xiaozhi has already agreed to come to our studio." Li Hao turned his face and smiled.

"Huh? Didn't he set up a studio with Li Erniao? Zhang Yuxuan couldn't help but ask.

"Here I have to mention Li Erniao's operation. Li Erniao may think that Rao Xiaozhi has no ability and did not make a particularly blockbuster movie, and thinks that Rao Xiaozhi is not worth so much money, so he started a series of operations and founded Zhongshu Holdings, which is dominated by the integration and operation of cultural and artistic resources, and then Rao Xiaozhi's shares in the studio were infinitely diluted. Rao Xiaozhi already had the idea of leaving Spring Studio, so after receiving my invitation, he readily agreed to join our studio. Li Hao explained with a smile.

“…… Then you were still serious before, I thought the poaching failed. ”

"Just kidding you. By the way, on the side of director Zhang Yimou, things are almost done. When Li Hao said this, his eyes lit up.

"Director Zhang Yimou? It's true? Zhang Yuxuan's eyes also lit up.

"Well, I have secretly helped Director Zhang Yimou's child to get a household registration, Director Zhang Yimou is very committed to our affection, and because of this, Director Zhang Yimou has a lot of opinions about Zhang Weiping, because Zhang Weiping promised before that the child's affairs would be handled by him, but he never dealt with it at all. After repeated delays, now the children should go to school, and there are no serious tigers. Li Hao shook his head and said a little indescribably.

"Well, it's a bit difficult for ordinary people to register their children, but for people like Zhang Yimou and Zhang Weiping, it's not a problem at all." Zhang Yuxuan couldn't help but say.

"It's really not a problem, even if you have a little money, you can get things done with a little operation. It's a pity that Zhang Weiping seems to think that this may be Zhang Yimou's handle, so he has been pinching it and not doing it. Li Hao said, a sneer flashing in his eyes. She couldn't help but ridicule Zhang Weiping in her heart, but she couldn't help but even give Zhang Yimou a piece of ridicule.

After all, a big director like Zhang Yimou seems to be not eating fireworks in the world, he can only make movies, and nothing else seems to be possible, and he can't even do such simple things, and he has been coaxed by Zhang Weiping until now.

"Anyway, the relationship between director Zhang Yimou and Zhang Weiping is getting worse and worse, especially the one we collected before, Zhang Weiping made yin and yang contracts in the movie "Love of the Hawthorn Tree", and the information on adding or subtracting advertising placement fees at will was also handed over to director Zhang Yimou. Therefore, Zhang Yimou plans to shoot the movie "Jinling Thirteen Hairpins" this year, and director Zhang Yimou himself has begun to pay attention to it. For the part of product placement, director Zhang Yimou and Zhang Weiping began to conflict again. At most, that is, after the filming of "The Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling", director Zhang Yimou will definitely part ways with Zhang Weiping, and maybe even if the movie is not finished, the two of them will have a falling out. Of course, if you are lucky, before this movie is made, the two of them may break up, and when the time comes, we can even directly intervene and get this movie. So next, I will focus most of my energy on director Zhang Yimou. Li Hao explained to Zhang Yuxuan.

"Hmm. I know what's going on. Zhang Yuxuan smiled and nodded, and there was a little eagerness in his eyes, pulling Zhang Yimou to his side, this is really going to be sent - uh, okay, Zhang Yuxuan has already sent it, it should be said, like a tiger with wings? Not quite right, the icing on the cake? Well, it's better to add wings.

……

"The director of the movie "The Witch", I think Du Qifeng on the other side of the Xiangjiang River is very suitable. He has not only filmed a lot of classic works, among which "Three Heroes of the East" filmed in 93 is also very similar to the style of our "Witch". ”

When the studio's focus began to be on the movie "The Witch", the director of the movie "The Witch" was naturally the focus of Zhang Yuxuan's attention.

How can I say these domestic directors, for now, the director who is suitable for filming the movie "The Witch" is more suitable for the director over there in Xiangjiang.

After all, the Xiangjiang entertainment industry has developed for so many years and has a large number of excellent directors.

"Du Qifeng, indeed, his strength is indeed good, and a movie of the style of "The Witch" can indeed be held. However, Du Qifeng may not take this movie, after all, the artists and directors in Xiangjiang have gone north one after another over the years, but Du Qifeng has no sign of wanting to develop in our mainland at all. We need to consider a backup candidate. ”

"Alternate? Chen Kexin, Chen Jiashang, and Li Rengang are also suitable. However, there is another aspect to consider. Some people in the studio looked at Zhang Yuxuan with strange eyes.

Looking at the eyes of these people, Zhang Yuxuan was a little puzzled.

"Boss, you have been ostracizing the Xiangjiang entertainment industry before, you are unwilling to go to Xiangjiang, you are not willing to participate in Xiangjiang's movies, and even if possible, you are not willing to cooperate with Xiangjiang's actors. While you are banning the Xiangjiang entertainment industry, the Xiangjiang entertainment industry is also rejecting you. So do you think they're going to take your film? For Zhang Yuxuan's skeptical gaze, someone replied like this.

"Well, I haven't banned the Xiangjiang entertainment industry. Didn't I work with director Xu Ke last year to shoot "Dragon Gate Flying Armor"? Zhang Yuxuan couldn't help but quibble.

"But some movies shot in Xiangjiang, even the boss of "Night Question 2", you have refused. and your previous speech at the Academy Awards, these are almost all signs of your personal rejection of the Hong Kong entertainment industry. Among them, Huang Baiming, you have rejected him more than once, but his status in this circle-"

“…… Try it first, send an invitation to try it first, if you can please move, please don't move, then change to someone else, after all, there are many directors in the mainland, although they may not be as mature as the directors in Xiangjiang, but they may not be worse than them. Zhang Yuxuan was helpless, so he could only say: "It's really not good, just let Lu Yang go." ”

Although Zhang Yuxuan was helpless, he still didn't feel that he was wrong in rejecting Huang Baiming and Wang Jing in the first place. If you can't cooperate, you can't cooperate, and it's not uncommon.

"Lu Yang?" The people in the studio looked at each other.

Lu Yang previously collaborated with Zhang Yuxuan and made the movie "Great Wish" with great success.

After that, Lu Yang said that he wanted to make a martial arts drama, but it seems that for some reasons, it was not made, but a movie called "Blind Cinema" was made, and the reputation was also good. But the movies he made have nothing to do with suspense, science fiction and action movies.

"Lu Yang's strength is still good." Zhang Yuxuan explained, but at the same time, he wanted to sign a few powerful directors more and more.

Other people's studios are just that. The main thing is that the actors take over the filming and other issues.

But Zhang Yuxuan's studio is busier and complicated, and even the director has to think about it, who asked Zhang Yuxuan's studio to produce a movie.

……

There is no accident, directors like Du Qifeng and others in Xiangjiang really rejected the invitation issued by Zhang Yuxuan's studio, and even when they refused, they faintly mocked Zhang Yuxuan, sarcastically Zhang Yuxuan didn't reject them Xiangjiang? Why is it that when I was looking for a director to make a movie now, I found them again.

Zhang Yuxuan couldn't help but roll his eyes when he heard this response.

To be honest, before Zhang Yuxuan crossed over, that is, ordinary people, he didn't pay much attention to the entertainment industry, and for film directors, there were at least a few, at this time, he was a little worried. If he paid enough attention to the entertainment industry before he crossed over, he would know who would become a powerful director in the future, so that he could directly pull people into the studio.

Thinking like this, Zhang Yuxuan couldn't help but want to shake his head.

He remembers a lot of movies, such as "I Am Not the God of Medicine", "The Wandering Earth" and so on. Then, he could remember who the main characters of these movies were. But the director - sorry, he didn't really pay much attention to the director when he watched the movie before.

But just when Zhang Yuxuan was heading towards, or would hand over the movie "The Witch" to Lu Yang to direct, Li Hao came back.

Not only is Li Cod back, but he also brings good news.

Zhang Yimou and Zhang Weiping completely fell out.

The two of them completely fell out because of the advertising placement problem of "The Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling".

You must know that "The Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling" is a movie during the Anti-Japanese War, and the main tone of the whole movie is sad. However, Zhang Weiping still has to install advertising implantation in it, and it is a large number of advertising implantation.

Before "The Love of the Hawthorn Tree", Zhang Weiping had already done a lot of advertising placement, but this time, Zhang Weiping went even further, asking for more advertisements, large and small implants, dozens of them.

In addition to advertising placement, Zhang Weiping also intervened in the script again.

Zhang Weiping strongly asked Zhang Yimou to arrange a boat scene for foreigner John Miller in the movie "The Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling".

So, all kinds of factors were superimposed, and Zhang Yimou exploded.

Then, Zhang Yimou and Zhang Weiping had a special stiffness.

originally planned to shoot the movie "The Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling", but now it is frozen somewhere.

Zhang Weiping said: 'Zhang Yimou, if you want to shoot, just follow what I said, you can add these advertisements to me, and then this boat scene will also be filmed for me, otherwise you won't shoot the movie.'" ’

Zhang Yimou also dropped his hat on the ground: 'If you don't shoot, you won't shoot, if you don't let Lao Tzu shoot, Lao Tzu won't shoot.' ’

So, the crew that just got it up was just hung out somewhere.

When Zhang Yuxuan heard the news, he was a little happy and didn't know what to say.

Although it is said that "The Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling" is stuck here and there is no way to continue filming, it is indeed a pity, after all, this is indeed a very good movie, and now that the movie is difficult to deliver, Zhang Yuxuan can only laugh out loud with a heavy expression.

Well, the main thing is that Zhang Yimou and Zhang Weiping broke up.

The two of them broke up, Zhang Yimou might be able to become his person, and it was strange that Zhang Yuxuan was unhappy.

Two days later, Zhang Yimou was invited to Zhang Yuxuan's studio.

Zhang Yimou came here, and after seeing Zhang Yuxuan, the first thing he did was to express his gratitude to Zhang Yuxuan, and thank Zhang Yuxuan for his help and the registration of his child.

Then, it was Li Hao who opened his mouth and gave Zhang Yimou a condition, wanting to invite Zhang Yimou to join Zhang Yuxuan's studio.

Zhang Yimou is an honest man, and he is not very good at talking about interests.

This is also why Zhang Yimou and Zhang Weiping have been able to cooperate for so many years, obviously Zhang Weiping is getting more and more excessive, but Zhang Yimou retreats again and again, until Li Hao does not register Zhang Weiping for his child, in order to expose his affairs, so that Zhang Yimou wants to break up with Zhang Weiping.

By the way, Zhang Yimou and Zhang Weiping have cooperated for so many years, Zhang Weiping established a new picture entertainment company, but Zhang Yimou does not have a little stake in the new picture entertainment company.

Even Zhang Yimou can't be regarded as the director of New Picture Entertainment.

Zhang Weiping and Zhang Yimou, it seems that the two of them seem to be partners in a company from the outside world, but in fact, the movies made by Zhang Yimou are only paid by a director, and the rest is almost nothing.

New Picture Entertainment Company made money investing in movies, which was Zhang Weiping's, New Picture Company was listed, and its market value continued to rise relying on Zhang Yimou, and the money earned here is still Zhang Weiping's, and it has nothing to do with Zhang Yimou or a dime.

That's it, Zhang Yimou has been following Zhang Weiping for so many years.

And it is said that Zhang Weiping still owes Zhang Yimou's director's salary and has not been paid.

Therefore, honest people like Zhang Yimou, Zhang Yuxuan and Li Hao, are a little unbearable to give Zhang Yimou too harsh conditions.

"Director Zhang, otherwise, Zhang Yuxuan's studio will be upgraded to a film and television company, and then, the company will pay you to open a 'Zhang Yi's studio' and then occupy a part of the studio's shares. In the future, if you want to make a movie, you can also invest directly in it, and then after opening a studio, you will ...... in terms of paying taxes," Zhang Yuxuan said to Zhang Yimou.

Zhang Yimou blinked, looking a little silly: "Zhang Yimou's studio? It's the same as you, Zhang Yuxuan's studio? ”

"It's up to you......"
