Chapter 146: The Covenant
But in other people's territory, and on this occasion, it should be blown or blown.
Zhang Yuanjun was the third guest to talk about his feelings, he stood up from the front row of the audience, took the microphone, and said:
"The director of the song never disappoints, I saw the hard work of the director and the main creators in the past three years from "Wu Ji", especially the art and scenery, which is very magnificent and atmospheric, and the performances of the actors are also very good. After watching this movie, I have a special feeling that the director of the song has a really good grasp of the drama. I wish "Wu Ji" a big hit. Thank you, it's really, very well. ”
Zhang Yuanjun seems to be praising this movie, but what he says is all about soup, except for art, there is no praise to specific points.
Zhang Yuanjun has tried his best to complete it.
He can't dig the bottom of "Wu Ji" on the spot, saying that this movie is paying tribute to Shakespeare's classic "Macbeth", and what are you doing differently?
He began to feel that "Wu Ji" was like "Notre Dame de Paris", with Esmeralda and Quasimodo in Kunlun.
But then I thought about it, and determined that the structure and character setting of "Wu Ji" "borrowed" from "Macbeth".
Manshen is a shrine maiden.
Akira Kurosawa also put "Macbeth" on the Japanese screen, called "Spider's Nest City", but Kurosawa's handling is obviously much better than "Wuji".
However, none of these words can be said.
After the screening, Zhang Yuanjun didn't listen carefully to the sharing of the creators, he was busy talking to Xia Yu beside him.
"I have a play here, I want to ask Brother Yu to play a second man, do you have a schedule next year?" After chatting a few words, Zhang Yuanjun threw an olive branch.
But Xia Yu was embarrassed: "When will your movie start, it is estimated that there will be no time in the first half of next year, I have to go to Switzerland." ”
"What are you doing in Switzerland?"
"Ski race, April."
"There is no rush in April, our movie will not be able to start in April, and it will have to be in the second half of next year at the earliest."
"I'm free in the second half of the year." got Xia Yu's affirmative answer, "What kind of movie are you?" ”
"A crime suspense movie, talking about gambling, please play me as a child."
"How many years have you been?"
"85 years, it belongs to the cow."
Xia Yu smiled: "I'm 76 years old, 9 years older than you, playing you small?" ”
"Brother Yu, you are tender." Zhang Yuanjun said with a smile.
"I haven't acted in a gambling movie." Xia Yu is interested in gambling films.
"We are not a Hong Kong-style gambling film, it is definitely more appropriate to call it a high-IQ crime. This is not a place to chat, wait for the premiere, I invite you and Sister Quan to have supper, how about we have a good chat? ”
"Okay." Xia Yu is a good friend, and he agreed.
Zhang Yuanjun didn't listen to the things after the premiere, and left the venue with Xia Yu and his wife for supper in advance.
Zhang Yuanjun wanted to take a few people to the restaurant, but Xia Yu said: "Whoever eats that at night, I'll take you to a fly house and eat something that can't be eaten in a big restaurant." ”
"Okay, you've been in the capital for a long time, I'll listen to you." Zhang Yuanjun agreed.
Zhang Yuanjun and his assistant, plus Xia Yu and Yuan Quan and his wife, the four of them sat down, Xia Yu said: "I have heard of you, you acted in Hollywood at the age of 20, amazing." ”
"It's a joke, if I lose, I'll be in trouble."
Yuan Quan said: "Others can't make trouble if they want to make such a fuss." ”
"Yes." Xia Yu said, "What is your gambling movie about, you tell me." ”
"My movie is called "Animal World", which is about a card game, not the kind of stud like Hong Kong films, just rock-paper-scissors."
"This is fresh," Xia Yu became interested, "Rock-paper-scissors can still make a high-IQ crime?" ”
Zhang Yuanjun went on to tell the story: "That is, a group of people were pulled onto the boat and played this game of rock-paper-scissors......"
Zhang Yuanjun spent half an hour talking to Xia Yu and his wife about the rules of the game in "Animal World".
"That's interesting!" Xia Yu is very interested in this kind of game, "I've never seen anything like this before.
"That Li Jun is not interesting, the role of Zhang Jingkun is fun."
"This is a villain." Xia Yu doesn't seem to have played a villain at present, and Zhang Yuanjun is worried that he won't accept it.
"What's wrong with the villain, I like the role of Zhang Jingkun."
"Brother Yu, if you can fancy the role of Zhang Jingkun, then ......" Zhang Yuanjun wanted to give this role to Xia Yu on the spot, but after thinking about it, "But Sister Hua's side ......"
Xia Yu's agent is Wang Jinghua, and he has broken the rules by bypassing the agent and talking directly to the artist about the role.
Xia Yu smiled: "Sister Hua, I'll say, when will your script come out?" ”
"We are an adaptation of a Japanese manga, and the script will come out in two months." Regardless of whether you can get out or not, knock people out first.
"No problem, when your script comes out, call someone to come to me, I'll go and tell Sister Hua, she won't embarrass you."
It's still a rare thing to make a movie now, and with such a strange script coming to the door, Xia Yu definitely wants to try.
Halfway through the meal, Yuan Quan said: "I have read your script of "Rise to Fame", and your form is very novel. What do you think of this story? ”
Script killing is still a novelty in China, and Chinese people have really never seen the form of "Rise to Fame".
"This is an ordinary suspense story, I just omitted the crime process and jumped directly to solving the case and decrypting it. Repackage and wrap the story to make it longer, and there is "Rise to Fame", which is not new, and it is a very traditional way of ontological reasoning. ”
Zhang Yuanjun is a loyal fan of traditional ontological reasoning, he does not like socialism, if radical classification, Zhang Yuanjun prefers to classify socialist reasoning as realist literature, rather than pure reasoning.
"The same is true of "Animal World", in fact, it is not a reasoning, but a suspense crime, and what it sells is this high-IQ decryption process, and the audience is fresh to watch."
Domestic commercial films have just started, even if they are crime suspense films, many directors will make films like "Looking for a Gun", such as "Becoming Famous" and "Animal World", which are so obvious in style, are indeed not in the field of vision of domestic producers for the time being.
After Zhang Yuanjun explained his original intention of creation, he asked Xia Yu and his wife in a wretched manner: "What do you think of "Wuji"? ”
Assistant Xiao Zhao cheered up, she liked this film very much and wanted to hear what professionals said about it in private.
"That's good." Xia Yudao is very sincere, it seems that he really thinks this film is very good, "If you want a scene to have a scene, if you want a star to have a star, you have it all that a blockbuster should have." ”
"Hero" has influenced the trend of a series of domestic blockbusters in the future, big stars + big scenes.
As for the story, it doesn't matter.
The stories of "Hero" and "Ambush on All Sides" are also rudimentary, but they are still big sellers.
Zhang Yuanjun tried to guide: "Don't you think there is a problem with the story of "Wuji"? ”
"It's okay, although it's an old-fashioned love story, it's also clear, not bad. What, do you think there's a problem? Xia Yu looked at Zhang Yuanjun's expression a little subtle.
"No, maybe it's a problem that I personally understand, I always think that the story of "Wuji" is very strange, the scene is good, but the story is not good." At this point, Zhang Yuanjun didn't say more.
After eating and drinking, a few people made an appointment, and when the script of "Animal World" came out, they would discuss it in detail, and they dispersed.
On the way back, assistant Xiao Zhao asked him: "What's wrong with the story of "Wuji"? ”
"You wait and see, the audience will tell Chen Kaige where the bad breath of "Wuji" is."
Zhang Yuanjun believes in the audience.
