Chapter 124: I'm not interested in "Red Cliff".
Why do so many secretaries have toothbrushes in their offices...
It really works!
Ahem...
Washing his face and rinsing his mouth, after finishing his work, Zhang Xi followed Shen Xudong with his bag: "Where are you going?" ”
"Go see Han Dong..."
Zhang Xi instantly thought of something: "... Because of "Red Cliff"? ”
“… Yes, it's because of "Red Cliff", you know? ”
“… I have to read the information. ”
Also, after all, he is Shen Xudong's assistant, and he must know the trends in the circle!
The change of roles in "Red Cliff" is a big deal!
The lineup announced at the beginning: Zhou Runfa played Zhou Yu, Liang Chaowei played Zhuge Liang, and then... Zhou Yunfa was fired by Zhang Jiazhen!
It is said that Zhou Yunfa not only required the crew to pay all the salaries at one time at the start of filming, but also put forward nearly 100 requirements that completely violated the rules of the industry.
Thinking about it, you also know that the request must be tricky and unreasonable, Wu Yusen and Zhang Jiazhen are the people who worked hard with him and made him popular!
Zhang Jiazhen is really Zhou Yunfa's Bole - from 91 to 92, he held the "Zhou Yunfa Film Retrospective" in Chicago, New York, Boston and London, England, showing six or seven films starring him, introducing him to foreign audiences and film critics.
Later, he was introduced to William Morris, one of the largest agencies in Hollywood, and also held a party in Beverly Hills for Zhou Runfa, inviting many producers, screenwriters, directors and agents to meet him.
After getting into the car, Zhang Xi asked, "Why did Fa Ge make so many requests?" ”
Shen Xudong said casually: "... Maybe his wife is too demanding! ”
“… Luxury toilet RV? ”
"Yes!"
The luxury toilet RV is the crime that the crew of "Golden Armor" accused Zhou Yunfa of!
The 500,000 luxury RV is just used as a toilet - this is the request of Zhou Yanfa's wife.
This makes Zhang Weiping unbearable - your is so expensive?
Zhang Xi was silent for a while: "Then he does this, not worrying about his future?" ”
"He's in his sixties, so what's the future? Besides, he has two drama appointments in his hands, "Dragon Ball" and "Children of Yellowstone"..."Speaking of this, Shen Xudong suddenly wanted to test his assistant, so he asked: "Don't talk about this, eh, do you think this matter is hype?" ”
Zhang Xi shook his head: "It shouldn't be!" ”
"Why?"
"With such a big group and such a big investment in "Red Cliff", there is no need to hype up such a big thing as changing the role!"
"Haha... Makes sense! ”
Netizens have different opinions about Zhou Runfa's resignation in "Red Cliff", some stand for Zhou Runfa, and some stand for Wu Yusen...
More people think it's hype.
It's understandable, after all, hype is all the rage at this stage!
Whatever you want, you have to fry it all over again.
As a result, audiences often see topics like "The Wolf Comes" pop up frequently, and this has become the norm.
Subconsciously feel hype!
"Red Cliff" doesn't need this kind of hype.
Stepping on a horse, before starting, the actor is replaced?
It's not called hype, it's called a scandal!
……
China Film's investment in "Zhao Zilong" by Tianmei Media - the basic policy is to invest together, divide by region, and the film companies in each region are responsible for local publicity and subsequent profits.
Isn't this Zhou Yan's resignation!
Replaced Liang Chaowei, several investors were very skeptical of Liang Chaowei's appeal...
Bi Zhou Runfa is an international superstar, and Liang Chaowei can only be regarded as a Chinese superstar!
Shen Xudong comforted: "... The theme of the Three Kingdoms, as long as it is not too outrageous, the probability of a blockbuster is still quite large..."
"Now Zhou Runfa has resigned!"
"In the sequel to "Zhao Zilong", we all dare to change people, and it is normal for "Red Cliff" to change people..."
Han Shanping frowned: "... But I heard that you are not optimistic about Wu Yusen? ”
Shen Xudong admitted: "If you are not optimistic, you are not optimistic, but I have never doubted that "Red Cliff" can be a big hit. ”
"So sure?"
"The theme of the Three Kingdoms is very popular..."Red Cliff"'s specifications are not small... I'm very optimistic about its market performance! ”
“… So what about investing? ”
Shen Xudong thought for a while and shook his head: "I want to do the "Three Kingdoms" series myself, and suddenly invest in "Red Cliff", it's not like that..."
“… Didn't you say it would definitely sell? ”
Shen Xudong shook his head and explained: "The "Three Kingdoms" series I want to do revolves around famous generals and ministers... There are already a few project leaders, and I don't want to have anything to do with Wu Yusen... Why don't I introduce you to an investor? ”
"Is that the coal boss in Shaanxi?"
“… Do you know Boss Chen? ”
"He's been to see me a few times, and I think he's too good at camping..."
“… People are passionate about movies! ”
Han Dong glanced at Shen Xudong: "... Okay, then you ask him to go to Zhongying tomorrow to find me. ”
This topic stopped, and Han Dong suddenly thought of something: "You are not optimistic about Wu Yusen? Why? ”
“… Have you read the script of "Red Cliff"? Without waiting for Han Dong to speak, Shen Xudong continued: "... Wu Yusen was born in Jianghu films, his thinking mode is habitual Jianghu, the story of the Three Kingdoms is definitely not a chivalrous enmity and enmity deduced by a group of Jianghu people through the world... But the script of "Red Cliff" gave me this feeling! ”
In "Red Cliff", the hero has become the boss of the underworld, the strategist has become a chivalrous man, and the fierce general has become a reckless man, so the power and heroic deeds have disappeared.
And then what?
Due to the existence of the original work, there is absolutely nothing wrong with the overall structure and direction of the story, coupled with the big investment, there are many big scenes, and it also has an epic effect, but it does not match the characters.
The two emotions are amplified by the effect of the exquisite picture, so that it gives people a sense of nondescriptry.
This is also the reason why everyone doesn't like "Red Cliff"...
In addition, the role of Xiao Qiao stirred up the main line - sleeping with Zhou Yu and drinking tea with Cao Cao!
Especially in the lower part, this film is completely finished, the expenditure line is understandable, and it is too much to stir into the main line. Xiao Qiao accompanied Cao Cao to drink tea, what did Nima think, Zhou Yu was so angry that he glowed green. What a beautiful courtesan, Zhou Yu takes his wife as the middle, and he is really the governor!
Reputedly... Wu Yusen felt that Huang Gai's bitter meat plan was too stupid, and Cao Cao couldn't remember it, so he deleted the bitter meat plan...
It's understandable to delete it, after all, there is no culture, but what kind of brain circuit makes him feel that the bitter meat is stupid than a woman entering the barracks to drink tea?
Shen Xudong then sprayed: "I really don't understand, why when Cao Cao was finally released, Zhou Yu suddenly said very melancholy and literary: We all lost... Where did you lose? ”
Han Shanping helped explain: "... He wants to express peace..."
"Peace? If Cao Cao is released, there will be peace... Those dead soldiers are not human lives? I feel that he doesn't understand "Three Kingdoms" at all, and he didn't shoot "Red Cliff", but "Bloody Battle in Causeway Bay"..."
By the way, he also added: "He also fooled Chen Hao to play Sun Shangxiang and carry a sedan chair for the newcomer!" ”
“… What is carrying a sedan chair, this is called the sincere cooperation of actors from both sides of the strait and three places for the Chinese giant. ”
