Compared with other directors, Yang Shupeng has CCTV as a platform, so he can directly stuff the script of "Bitter Bamboo Forest" to Zhao Xin...

Shen Xudong likes "Bitter Bamboo Forest" very much.

This is the remake of "Seven Samurai", the bandits were replaced by officials and soldiers, and the samurai were replaced by bandits.

The misunderstanding between the bandits, whose conscience is not completely extinguished, and the kind, almost ignorant villagers is one of the biggest problems.

It's also the origin of the story!

This movie is embarrassing because of the broken name "My Tang Dynasty Brothers";

What's even more embarrassing is that there is a big bad movie "Visitors from the Sui Dynasty" in the same schedule...

Seriously, "My Tang Dynasty Brothers" is a pretty good film, it can't be said to be particularly good, but the overall is not bad, in an environment where many directors no longer know how to make costume films, this film gives a very good model:

Try to be respectful of history. The standard of living of ancient people may have been very poor, and there were not so many brocade clothes;

Comedy isn't just about, pee, fart;

Tell a logical story completely, sincerely, and sincerely;

Actors' acting skills must be passed.

If there is still a request, it is to add a little surprise on the basis of the previous one.

"Bitter Bamboo Forest" has a silly and sassy feeling, satisfying all illusions and shattering all illusions! Stupid to the depths of natural cuteness.

"How? Not bad, right? ”

Shen Xudong nodded: "... Yes, it's just a bit niche..."

"Well, indeed!"

Zhao Xin also nodded...

He has been a producer for a few years, and he can still distinguish between popular and niche types!

Shen Xudong continued: "Our company generally only produces mainstream commercial films..."

Zhao Xin shook his head: "Yang Shupeng has found Shangying, and Shangying will invest..."

"Then why are you giving me the script?"

Zhao Xin took out a book: "Wang Xiaobo's "Tang Story", do you know? ”

"The Story of the Tang Dynasty?" Shen Xudong took the book and looked at the introduction: short story collection, five chapters, "Uncle Lover", "Night Travel", "Red Breeze Night Run", "Red Line Stealing Box", "Lixin Street A No. 1 and Kunlun Nu"...

"Wang Xiaobo is a writer I like very much, this "Tang Story" is based on the Tang legend, the writing is free and uninhibited, and the narrative is modern and sophisticated..."

Seeing that Shen Xudong was very interested, Zhao Xin continued: "I have always felt that in the era of overwhelming costume film and television dramas, it seems that no one has ever tried to shoot Wang Xiaobo's Tang Dynasty stories, these are like fairy tales, or more like dreams, like souls wandering in history..."

"It's hard..."

"Of course I know it's difficult, whether it's the market or the technology, it's a very difficult thing."

"You put this, I'll see!"

"Well, I think we can unite with several state-owned studios to launch a trial first..."

“… Let me think about it! ”

……

Of course, Shen Xudong has also read Wang Xiaobo's book.

Unlike other readers, Shen Xudong's first book with Wang Xiaobo was the short story "A Maverick Pig"...

Then start reading a lot!

If Wang Xiaobo's works are to be classified, they can barely be regarded as educated youth literature, but they are very different from the literature of educated youths of the same era, educated youth literature, also known as scar literature, a large number of works that review the life of educated youth, delicate and sorrowful, the pathos of youth, the stumbling of the years, the helplessness of being teased by the times, the feeling of being abandoned, the disillusionment of ideals, etc...

Wang Xiaobo is also a writer of educated youth, "Golden Age", you changed your name to 'My life of educated youth; a female doctor living in the countryside; love and sex in a special age; 'It's also true!

It's really well written, and there is a sentence in it that I still remember vividly - "It's so dangerous, I almost fell in love with you." "How distorted does it have to be for love to be dangerous?

"Golden Age", the abnormal era is a cage, the goodwill that encircles and suppresses people's hearts, it is the dead who fight, it is ordinary people who suffer silently, and it is the poor people who follow the trend to do evil to survive, this is not a love story of two lovers, this is a tragedy that everyone loses or has to live their own lives.

Born ahead of one's time.

When you realize that Wang Xiaobo is not a stinky hooligan, you will be sad when you watch "Golden Age" again...

Pulling it back, Wang Xiaobo said that the first thing he wanted to do when writing a book was "interesting".

It's enough to see that he thinks it's "funny", and if you want to get other chicken soup insights, sorry, you can't get it with him.

I have read his works, "The Golden Age", "The Silver Age"...

"Wanshou Temple" is not good, although it is light and interesting, but I don't want to read it until the seventh chapter, just like never finishing reading "The Castle of Intersecting Destinies"...

I gritted my teeth and finished reading "On a Winter Night, a Traveler", and I gritted my teeth and didn't finish reading "The Castle of Crossed Destinies"...

Although I know that it is a good work, but... It takes talent to write a book, it takes talent to read a book, and some just can't read it!

"The Legend of the Tang Dynasty" can be read without gritting your teeth.

Shen Xudong prefers the "Night Journey" in it, the debate of monks and Confucianism, humorous, full of heart between words, monks don't know Buddha, Confucianism doesn't know Confucius and Mencius, bullshit socks are not anyway, and those who have no discipline become friends...

Very interesting!

But it's not enough to make a movie.

Because... It's a piece of pure, literal, pure chat type!

The scholar hurried to the night and wanted to find a conversation partner, but he didn't expect to wait for a monk he looked down on, and even wanted to use a slingshot to open a scoop for the bald head several times on the way;

The monk is not a good person, he does robbery, but because he doesn't want to kill, he has nothing to do with the scholar...

The ending is very dramatic, these two guys with their own ghosts finally became good friends, and they also made an appointment to go to the monk's house to coil over.

After reading it quickly, Shen Xudong had an idea: to be a Tang legend!

……

Shen Xudong's main focus is to be vigorous and resolute!

Since it has been decided to shoot the Tang legend, let's choose the story.

found Zhao Linhai, Zhao Xin and Liao Gaoxiang as usual, and said that they wanted to create a series: Tang Legend...

"If you want to shoot the Tang Dynasty, you must first show the Tang Dynasty, I think it's a little difficult, our generation of Chinese slaves have been too long, and they dance with shackles, and it is difficult to make a movie with a little depth, not to mention filming a big era with thousands of weather, grandiose atmosphere, tolerance and upwardness, we have not experienced ah, how to shoot?"

Zhao Xin said: "I think it's feasible, the Wu Dynasty filmed in "Detective Di Renjie" is very prosperous, especially the martial emperor played by the old drama bone Lu Zhong, the tone is calm, the weight is light, and the smile in his eyebrows and eyes is murderous, it seems that he is talking and laughing with you in the last second, and he will break your body into thousands of pieces in the next second."

The first episode met with the Turkic mission, the Tang Dynasty sang and danced, and the Turkic juggling complemented each other.

The majesty of the soldiers, the majestic mountains and rivers; The kung fu is wonderful, clean and neat.

Li Yuanfang used the short knife and the long sword of the pit viper to fight in the Ganliangdao desert, how heroic, how confident and heroic, put aside the solution, and fought all the way; The heavy sword has no edge, and the great ingenuity does not work.

The costumes in the play, the soapy clothes and scarves, the cape of the hat, the boots and armor of Qianniuwei, are all lined with broad shoulders and erect..."

Shen Xudong was speechless: "Speak human words, don't drag the text, they are all your own people!" ”

Zhao Xin smiled: "Recently, I watched "Tang People's Story" a little affected... I said serious, Zhaozhao has Tang, the heavens are all over the world, bustling and prosperous, glorious for thousands of years... If I could create such an atmosphere, I think the movie would almost be it! ”

Liao Gaoxiang shook his head: "... It's not that simple, the most important thing about the movie is the story..."

Shen Xudong agreed with this point of view, so he said: "The Legend of the Tang Dynasty is suitable for adapting the story..."The Legend of the Ancient Mirror", "The Story of the Pillow", "The Legend of Yingying", "The Biography of Liu Yi", "The Legend of the Song of Long Hatred", "The Biography of Li Wa", "The Biography of Nan Ke Taishou", "The Red Line", "Bu Fei Yan"? You pick one! ”

All three of them stopped talking...

After a while, Zhao Linhai said: "... I'll go back and look through it. ”

I've been busy getting married lately, and I'm mainly busy with the decoration of my new home...

A bunch of, the update is not timely, sorry...
