Why didn't Zhang Ziyi take on the TV series?

Because of positioning!

From the beginning, she didn't take the mass line, but the high-quality, international line...

No matter how well the TV series is filmed, no matter how well-made, such as "Mansion Gate", in addition to gaining word of mouth, what else?

I can't go internationally.

But in the past few years, the situation has been different, her attention is on the country, and she needs a TV series with a high reputation.

Most of the crews filming TV dramas in China are a group of people who do work, which means: treat the process of film and television creation as clocking in to work, standard production, dedication, and leaving after work.

People who do the work don't take the so-called creation seriously, but they can't do it below 60 points, and they can basically keep it at 70~80 points...

Most of the TV series produced by Mengxi are also at this level, unless it is a key drama - the time is limited, the project is huge, and it is impossible for each one to guarantee a score of more than 90...

Especially for many TV series exclusively produced by Tang Ren, they like to use Hong Kong directors very much, because Hong Kong directors have experienced the peak period of TVB, and they are simply able to grasp the operation of work, where to laugh, where to cry, where to fight, and where the plot should turn. These rhythms are just right, and although the TV series is not a high-quality product, it will not be too bad!

In addition to the strong creative team behind Tang Ren, so, infinitely close to high-quality dramas...

It is necessary to live in the industry, after all, this is a huge film and television industry system!

Although Shen Mengxi didn't like it, he didn't resist it, and at most he didn't participate.

So, "Red Sorghum", he didn't look for the Hong Kong team!

......

In the car, Hou Hongliang looked at Kong Sheng, who patted Shen Mengxi and asked him, "Why did you make "Red Sorghum"?"

“... Have you paid attention to the Contradictory Literature Award?" After a pause, Shen Mengxi said: "Mo Yan's "Frog" won the 8th Mao Dun Literature Award..."

Hou Hongliang frowned slightly: "Mao Dun Literature Award... I thought you would shoot "White Deer Plain"..."

"White Deer Plain" is also the winner of Mao Dun literature...

And "White Deer Plain" is closer to Shen Mengxi, that is what happened in Guanzhong!

"Shoot "Red Sorghum" first, "White Deer Plain" and so on... Moreover, I heard that Mr. Mo Yan has sent a registered letter to the Swedish Academy of Letters, what if he can win the Nobel Prize in Literature?"

"Him?"

“... It's not impossible!At least... Can you get a nomination..."

Nobel Prize nominations for literature are easy to do: in fact, anyone who is a writers' association or a professor has the right to nominate an alternate writer. As long as you send a registered letter to the Swedish Academy of Letters and receive a return receipt of the letter, it is equivalent to being nominated.

Therefore, Li Ao and Wang Meng have been tirelessly playing the trick of being nominated for more than 10 years...

Mo Yan won the Nobel Prize in Literature, which is actually very good, today's literary world is an era when Guo Jingming calls for wind and rain, and it is difficult for pure literary writers to survive...

At least it can cheer up pure literature!

If Mo Yan wins the prize...

That "Red Sorghum"...

Hou Hongliang was excited: "How sure are you?"

Shen Mengxi waved his hand: ""Red Sorghum" will definitely be sold, Mr. Mo Yan can win the award, at most it will be a little more expensive, and it will not have so much impact!"

"That's right. ”

Hou Hongliang smiled self-deprecatingly...

Shen Mengxi didn't tell the truth, if Mo Yan won the Nobel, "Red Sorghum" would have a chance to become the drama king of the year!

The weight of the drama king, compared to 'selling', the gap in the middle is more than one and a half stars!

Kong Sheng answered: "If Zhou Xun doesn't answer, we have to find a good alternative!"

“... If you really can't do it, let's go find Zhang Ziyi. ”

......

The reason why Zhou Xun didn't accept "Red Sorghum" is very simple.

In addition to physical exhaustion, the main thing is that she worries about her age...

According to the script, Jiu'er is twenty-eight years old...

She's close to five eights...

Zhu Yawen, who plays Yu Zhanao, is born in the 80s...

Childhood sweetheart Zhang Junjie, Hu Ge is also a post-80s generation...

"I've watched "Red Sorghum Family", and I have a deep impression of Jiu'er!

- 1.60 meters tall and 60 kilograms in weight... Grandma had a large shiny braid hanging from the back of her head, and a heavy silver lock around her neck. When he walked, he waved his arms and twisted his waist like a willow swaggering in the wind!

This is Mo Yan's description in the original book "Red Sorghum".

"But our script..."

"We have a "Wind Listener" next year, and we have to shoot "Cloud Atlas"... I can't find the time. ”

Her agent, Yu Guangguang, took over the conversation...

Zhou Xun acquiesced.

Shen Mengxi didn't want to persuade anymore...

Do you want her to give up entering Hollywood or giving up cooperation with Liang Chaowei?

Hou Hongliang and Kong Sheng still wanted to say something, but Shen Mengxi directly changed the topic: "The project "Cloud Atlas" asked me to invest before..."

"You're not investing?"

"No..." Shen Mengxi shook his head: "The script is too deep, I read it several times to understand..."

Her agent Yu Guangguang: "... Haha, the Wachowski siblings' script is very mysterious!"

"Well, let's go first..."

Zhou Xun got up to see them off.

"What did he just say?"

“... I don't know, probably because I'm jealous that we took "Cloud Atlas"!"

"He's going to be jealous of this?"

"Sino-US cooperation has always been done by him alone, and now there are a few more people, which is equivalent to snatching cake from his plate..."

"He's not this kind of person..."Zhou Xun shook his head: "Forget it, I don't care about these things." ”

......

"Let's change people!"

"Who are you looking for?" Zhang Ziyi?"

"No, she doesn't have the right image... And she is too expensive, which will affect the salary structure of the crew!"

Shen Mengxi suddenly thought of an actress: "Let's go, let's go to Xiangshan, I think of an actress who is quite suitable!"

Hou Hongliang and Kong Sheng asked in unison, "Who?"

"Zhou Xun is no longer acting, let's move Jiu'er's character closer to the original book, heroic, spicy, brutal, with a hint of wildness!"

Kong Sheng nodded: "Yes... You have to have a lot of energy... Actually, Yan Ni's role in "Bullfighting" is quite suitable, but her age is not suitable..."

Shen Mengxi crooked her lips and smiled: "Do you two know Tong Yali?"

Hou Hongliang thought about it and asked uncertainly: "... I've heard of it, it seems to be the heroine of "Kintaro"?"

"She..."

"She... Not appropriate, right?"

Shen Mengxi seemed to be very confident: "You two will know after watching her!"

Tong Yali's role is rarely a bird, and her own personality is wild and spicy...

"The Woman of the Swordsman Family" is very brilliant.

"Perfect Relationship", a lot of age pretending to be stupid and sweet...

But her figure is a little shriveled, and she is far from the northern girl with big breasts and fat buttocks...

There is really no way about this, her brokerage team tried their best to gain weight for her, and even offered to give her a reward of 10,000 yuan for every pound of fat...

But she was 85 pounds at her peak...

The usual weight is 80 pounds!

I can't get fat at all.
