"The Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling" includes "Nanjing! Nanking! "Tokyo Trial" is not too high at the box office in Southeast Asia!

The only Chinese-language films that can open up the Southeast Asian market are martial arts action movies.

"Embroidered Spring Knife" and "Dragon Gate Flying Armor" sold very well.

Golden Harvest action movies can also be sold at a high price, but the others are a little difficult...

Chinese audiences in Southeast Asia, because they have long maintained the habit of watching Hong Kong movies, are very recognizable to action movies and Hong Kong-style comedies...

Of course, this recognition refers specifically to stars, for example, the Southeast Asian box office of "Yangtze River No. 7" is close to 26 million US dollars!

As for World War II-themed movies, they are not blockbusters in Southeast Asia...

Including "Pearl Harbor", which sent his father to the sons of Showa, the box office in Southeast Asia is not high!

Generally speaking, the movies that can be sold in Hong Kong can also be sold in Southeast Asia, and the weather vane attribute is particularly obvious. Maybe there was no movie about World War II in Hong Kong in those years...

As a result, Southeast Asian audiences do not favor this kind of theme.

As for Japanese benzene, I have made a lot of movies about World War II, such as "Men's Yamato", "Forever 0", "The Longest Day of Japanese Benzene" and the like, such movies are generally not released in markets other than Japanese benzene, through this kind of movie, you can't see that there is a reflection on the war, there is a reflection, but a reflection is on why the war was lost...

In fact, Southeast Asian countries also have their own film industries, Thailand, Singapore and Vietnam all have local films...

Especially in Thailand, when the New Wave of Thai cinema began in the 90s, Thai filmmakers borrowed from Western film expressions and integrated Thai culture to form a series of genre films with unique Thai characteristics: Thai horror films.

It's a pity that the financial crisis, coupled with the fact that the market size is too small, the change of military government and so on...

Lack of follow-up!

The rise of mainland films and the expansion of streaming media have an obvious siphon effect on talents, and even the Korean film industry is about to become a vassal of the United States, not to mention Southeast Asia, which is still in its infancy!

Pulling it back, Shen Xudong chatted with a group of people for a while, and then went back to their rooms to rest.

After all, the next day was going to be filmed.

……

Shen Xudong has already made three movies, "Rise to Fame", "33 Days of Broken Love", "The Grandmaster", the reputation and box office are very good, especially "The Grandmaster", which directly won the Venice Golden Lion Award!

But he still doesn't have much interest in filming...

chose "Tang Detective", just to pretend to be a force - to tell everyone that he will make commercial films.

Otherwise, this year's "Thai Embarrassment" will exceed one billion, and Ning Hao's "One Shot to the End" may also exceed one billion, what should he do? In addition, Shen Xudong really wants to cooperate with Wang Baoqiang.

At 7 o'clock in the morning, Shen Xudong arrived on the set, and the camera crew and lighting team were busy setting up machines, laying slide rails, dimming light, and light ratio.

The main photographer, Du Jie, followed the art director Li Miao to help the props and set team arrange the scene in an orderly manner.

The whole crew was busy.

The actors are almost here, and they are busy moving...

Shen Xudong was a little speechless, was he in such a hurry?

In addition, many people looked at Nini standing on the side, intentionally or unintentionally...

The crew is all pure men, so it is not surprising that when Nini in an orange dress appeared in the crew, the entire crew was attracted to it.

Du Jie walked up to Shen Xudong, who was nibbling on bread: "What's wrong?" ”

“… This is the jade ink of "Thirteen Hairpins"? ”

"yes..."

""Thirteen Hairpins" is still being promoted, right? Can she come over? ”

Shen Xudong said casually: "Feel our rhythm and the way the actors perform in advance, lest she can't match the crew when she acts!" ”

“… It's quite a royal sister fan! ”

"Nonsense, there is no Royal Sister Fan, what am I looking for her..."

Du Jie is Ning Hao's royal photographer, the original time and space was banned for 4 years because of "No Man's Land", Du Jie went to cooperate with other directors, including Gao Qunshu, Cheng Er, Guan Hu...

However, this time Ning Hao did not experience the ban, Du Jie has been cooperating with him, the photographer of "Detective Chinatown", Shen Xudong originally wanted to use Song Xiaofei, Ning Hao recommended Du Jie, and Shen Xudong used him.

The preliminary preparation of "Tang Detective", storyboarding, Du Jie participated in the whole process, and he got along well with Shen Xudong.

……

Nini is nervous...

Although she looks indifferent and arrogant on the surface, "Tang Detective" is her second play, and she is not the protagonist yet, she read the announcement, and her role will not be filmed until February.

I don't know what to do...

After all, it's a newcomer!

Everyone in the crew of "Tang Detective" is very strange to him, and Thailand is very hot.

The whole crew gave her a very strange feeling, Director Xudong seemed to be careless, eating by himself, and the executive producer was busy arranging the scene...

Also, last night, Director Xudong didn't gather the actors together for a script meeting, so that they could talk about their cognition of the script and characters...

It's not at all the same as director Zhang Yi's way of doing things!

Just thinking about it, assistant director Xu Hui shouted with a loudspeaker: "It's almost, let's test shoot a section, you don't have to worry, today is mainly to see the effect..."

"Everyone, be quiet, we turned on the camera, the lights, cameras, props were prepared, the actors entered, and the venue was prepared. All units listen to me. ”

The scene reporter shouted with a loudspeaker. Every time he called a unit, the relevant person in charge answered them one by one.

“Action！”

As the field service board, the camera continued to rotate and officially started shooting.

The crew also watched the shooting quietly...

The first shot is Huang Langden leading the crowd to chase Tang Ren, and then Tang Ren struggled to escape, well, he played so big as soon as he came up!

It's still quite troublesome, the actors have to keep running, and the camera team has to keep up...

But this shot should have been rehearsed several times, so the final presentation is okay!

"Not bad!"

Shen Xudong glanced at the lens, praised it first, and then said: "The depth of field of the lens is very good, but the close-up into the middle shot is too abrupt, it is better to add a few close-ups... I want to make the audience feel like they're there! ”

"Okay, how many booms shall I add?"

"Okay... Be sure to capture the close-up! ”

After saying this, Shen Xudong walked to Wang Baoqiang's side: "You are a little bit closed, let it go a little, Tang Ren's character is timid and afraid, so when he is pursued, he must be in a panic... You can't just know the plot behind and not show panic! ”

"I've performed..."

"But it's too much to put away, put a little more..."

"Good..."

"No hurry, let's take our time!"

Bao Qiang is a typical experiential school, you have to give him time to get into the character, and once he does, it's all right!

This requires him to come out of the previous role first, and the last role was the baby in "Thai Embarrassment"...

Shen Xudong is really not in a hurry, "Tang Detective" will be released during the Spring Festival next year - the schedule has already been set...

Well, I forced "Journey to the West" to choose another schedule...

……

In fact, the so-called director training the actor is to let the actor show the state he wants...

To do this, first of all, the director must have a specific indicator for the presentation of the actors, and be ready to tear his face...

The so-called torn face is when it conflicts with the actor's performance concept, and the actor must be convinced!

Not all directors have this kind of courage, Hong Kong film critic Li Zhuotao once criticized Xu Anhua: "She is very strict in her criticism of her completed works, but she is not strict enough when the works are produced..."

Xu Anhua is a typical example, the most common mantra seen in interviews is two words, "annoying", from 30 to 70 years old.

can't talk to passive actors, it's annoying;

dabbling in new movie genres, not knowing how to schedule, annoying;

It's annoying to find someone to write a few drafts of the script. I don't want to compete for the box office, but I have to compromise, which is annoying;

I don't want to care about gains and losses, I don't want to value fame and fortune, but the film industry is a vanity fair, so annoying;

She had no choice but to vent her bitterness to reporters, "Unless you quit and become a monk or a nun, otherwise being a human being is so annoying." ”

In fact, she is too easy-going...

She is a director who is willing to let the actors play independently, and sometimes if the director and the actors conflict with the roles and performance concepts, most of them are also played by the actors themselves, so the actors who work with her have very rich acting experience and have a lot of experience, which will be better!

Xiao Fangfang, the star of "Woman Forty", Siqin Gaowa, the star of "Auntie's Postmodern Life", Bao Qijing, the star of "Days and Nights in Tin Shui Wai", etc...

Do you think it's unreasonable for her to complain about Tang Wei?

Hehe, she complained about her "Ketu Autumn Hate" before, talked about the actor's performance, and bluntly said that "the actor's acting skills are average".

You must know that the heroine of this play is Zhang Manyu, the second female lead, that is, the heroine's mother is Lu Xiaofen, who was already a Golden Horse actress at that time, but was still complained by Xu Anhua that she was incomplete-the acting was really bad, and then complained to herself' Many times I make an appointment with an actor to talk about the role, but I don't know what to say! It's annoying, I'm not used to talking about it. ’

"Ghost World" also complained that Shu Qi 'is in a very bad state, can't wake up all day, looks very tired and stuffy', and reflected on it by the way, 'Later, I thought twice, there is no need to quarrel with her, otherwise after the quarrel, with her state, she may disappear and not appear!'" ’

This is a director with a soft personality...

Shen Xudong is different, he requires the actor to meet his requirements!

Not a single cent.

Therefore, at the end of the day, Wang Baoqiang's body is blue and purple - action scenes, he will definitely be injured.
