Chapter 38 Very embarrassing
"... Also, most of our teams in "Embroidered Spring Sword" are mainlanders and have no Hong Kong and Taiwan accents, so we feel that the lines are very good for our appetite after watching them. When I first wanted to use Deng Chao as the protagonist, my agent actually asked me why I didn't look for Xie Tingfeng and Wu Yanzu. I was surprised. Why do we graduate from mainland China every year and who majored in performing talents, why do we look for them?"
"The main creators of "Embroidered Spring Sword", Wu Jing, Deng Chao and Li Bingbing, are all actors who grew up with us..."
Li Wei looked at Xu Hui who was talking nonstop on the stage, and his heart felt like he was overturning.
He has always been a supporter of HK movies and Taiwan movies. He firmly believes that any HK director can beat Zhang Yimou and Feng Xiaogang, but what did HK director bring to everyone after entering the mainland over the years?
"The Box of Yue Guang" and "Rody Man" almost exhausted Li Wei's expectations for those HK directors. Finally, Wu Baige took action. Li Wei believes that Wu Baige, the great director who can film "Bloody Two Heroes", will definitely bring a different "Red Cliff" to mainland audiences!
Then, he watched the trailer for "Red Cliff".
The picture is very grand, with the feeling of "The Lord of the Rings", but the lines are arranged in a very problematic way, which is too shocking!
Especially Zhao Wei appears: 'Every woman is responsible for the rise and fall of the world!'
If Gu Yanwu knew this, he would probably crawl out of the coffin lid and teach Wu Baige well. He would not even tamper with other people's famous sayings!
It’s also ‘every girl is responsible’, you have your sister!
Li Wei felt that Xu Hui was right. Shooting historical subjects does not mean that every bit must be in line with historical materials, but at least, we must respect history and our words and deeds must be in line with the times.
This young man is not simple. Although he only watched the movie "The Embroidered Spring Sword", Li Wei has expectations for Xu Hui's future!
"Hey, how do you think of me as a male god?"
Zhou Xiaomeng patted Li Wei who said nothing and asked casually.
"...I'm pretty optimistic about him! I think he will become..."
"Get out, my male god wants you to be optimistic!"
...
"The Embroidered Spring Sword" will be released until tomorrow, and it will be released today as early as possible.
It's not a midnight show or something, it's just that Xu Hui wants to make the good reputation of "The Embroidered Spring Sword" come out quickly.
In 2008, it was not like later, and you could check the box office of the movie at any time.
So, although I really want to know the first-day box office results on July 1, Xu Hui could only suppress his anxiety.
By the way, I have to accept interviews from several movie magazines.
"The Embroidered Spring Sword" has a good reputation, especially against the backdrop of "The Essence and Dance Gate" released at the same time.
Film critics with some popularity in the circle all scored movies above 7.5 points.
It's already very good. You know, when people at the beginning heard that Xu Hui was going to make a movie, they were ready to rated the worst movie of the year!
As a result, with the mentality of appreciating bad movies, I didn't expect that I could see a highly completed work, and a group of film critics were shocked.
Take advantage of the fact that the reputation has not spread yet, hurry up and interview!
"Popular Movie" sends Fang Zhijie, the editor who is best at dealing with young people.
When we met, we had a brief greeting and we got to the point. He also knew that Xu Hui’s time was precious. In addition to "Popular Movies", there were also many media such as "Nandu Entertainment Weekly" and "Watching Movies".
"Hello Xu Hui, let's start!"
Fang Zhijie looked at Xu Hui, who was wearing black-framed "glasses", and the latter nodded.
"I heard that the cost of "Embroidered Chun Dao" was only 14 million yuan?"
"A little more than that, we went to bed for a few more days later, otherwise 14 million would be enough!"
"wave?"
"Just just take pictures, take some birds and ride horses, you know we went to Ulaanbaatar. Wow, that place is simply!"
“Very beautiful?”
"It's pretty beautiful, but there are too many mosquitoes, so I want to cry even if I bite it!"
"Haha, what kind of movie do you think "The Embroidered Spring Sword" is?"
"Action type commercial film!"
"Commercial film?"
"Yes, "Embroidered Chun Dao" is a commercial film!"
After thinking about it for a while, Xu Hui continued: "I won't try particularly personal works for the time being. It may be a bit narrow-minded. I think the essence of a movie can only be developed by relying on commercial promotion!"
Xu Hui looked at Fang Zhijie, who was a reporter at the speed of the speed, and said: "Business should not be a derogatory term. Some people watch movies that cannot wash their eyes are good movies. Movies are made by people, and there are always illogical places. If you want to find them, you will always find them. You can't find the sense of identity of sentiments and values in my movies, but I can guarantee that they are the leading domestic industry at the industrial level!"
"…Wait a minute, but I heard that it took less than 4 months before and after the filming of "The Embroidered Spring Knife".
"The film industry is different from other types. The industrial level of a movie is more about its completion, rather than simply converting it according to time. Why does it take half a year to finish the movie in 62 days? I can do the post-production in a month, so why should I drag it back?"
"When you were filming "The Embroidered Spring Sword", did you deliberately imitate any director?"
"...I don't have this, but I learned from a Korean movie called Zhongtian last year. The plot of that movie is quite bloody, but the costumes are serious, the props are realistic, and the rhythm is memorable. What is most touching is that the whole story of Manren in the movie is in Mandarin language!"
When he said this, Xu Hui paused for a moment. He hesitated whether he should say this sentence, but he still said: "Think about it, Koreans are making movies, but we Chinese are using Mandarin language that is proficient in using less than 2,000 people! When I was watching that movie, I was thinking, why is the old man in Bangzi fighting with us for this and that? It is because they are really serious enough to protect those things."
"…so, you arranged for Nie Yuan to shout Mongolian words to the Manchus in the play?"
Fang Zhijie is also very touched. He is a film critic who has been in the film industry for many years.
"Yes, I want the audience to know that I, Xu Hui, are serious about making another movie! It's not the kind of domestic anti-Japanese drama!"
"Anti-Japanese drama?"
In 2008, although "The Legend of the Anti-Japanese Heroes" was released, the name of the Anti-Japanese God Drama is still brand new, and it is normal for Fang Zhijie to not understand.
"It's the kind of TV series that make up all kinds of random things under the name of anti-Japanese war. That kind of TV series has one thing in common. The RB people in the play can only say 'Hi!'. The rest are all Mandarin dialogues. I'm speechless. Chinese is one of the most difficult languages to learn in the world. Are those Japanese so smart?"
The two looked at each other and smiled.
After laughing, Fang Zhijie picked up the cup at his hand and took a sip of tea: "I think you said it was right yesterday. Actually, I also think that the directors of HK are not suitable for filming historical dramas. It's okay to ask them to tinker with police and gangster films!"
"Who made Wu Baige return from Hollywood? Isn't this what our country is like? It looks awesome after returning from overseas. In fact, he is just that..."
Fang Zhijie interrupted Xu Hui's awesome declaration and changed the topic directly: "...I haven't asked yet, which director do you like in China?"
"Of course it's director Zhang Yimou. I admire him very much. I think his color structure is a master of his generation!"
When talking about Zhang Yimou, Xu Hui seemed to be interested: "Starting from "Red Sorghum", whether it is "The Big Red Lantern Hanging High" or "Hero", even if "The City is full of Big Wave Girls", then..."
Chapter completed!
