Chapter 53 Opening Ceremony
Mr. Xu was studying radio and television/movie courses at the University of Texas (Austin), and he was a serious professional class.
According to himself, he used to play movies for local Chinese in the United States, which was equivalent to the identity of a projectionist.
He said, 'Whenever there is a knight on the screen, you can see everyone in the entire screening room feels comfortable!'
Therefore, he believes that the image of a hero can survive on the big screen.
This is also the main reason why he set up the "Movie Studio" and started producing martial arts movies after returning to Xiangjiang!
Of course, it is because he has not received orthodox historical education that Mr. Xu has great misunderstandings in history.
For example, in "New Longmen Inn", Zhou Huaian's identity is actually the leader of the imperial guards of Lord Yang Yuxuan...
And it was the "800,000 Imperial Guards instructor" mentioned by Cao Huaqin...
In the Ming Dynasty, it was a garrison system. The guards defending Kyoto were composed of Shenji Camp + San Thousand Camp + Five Military Camp + Twenty-six Guards stationed near Kyoto.
Adding one piece is not enough for 800,000 yuan. Where did the "800,000 imperial guards coach" come from?
He directly grafted Lin Chong's identity to Zhou Huaian, and there was no one else...
Of course, the most outrageous thing is that the Jinyiwei Qianhu actually guarded the border. Big boss, wouldn’t it be better if there were border troops in the Ming Dynasty?
Maybe it is to highlight the protagonist's awesomeness. In "Dragon Gate Flying Armor", Zhao Huaian, played by Li Lianjie, introduced himself like this, "My name is Zhao Huaian, and he is the nemesis of your East and West Factory!"
Damn, this line is a bit cool.
I would like to ask, are there six other people like you?
Of course, what Mr. Xu wants to show the opposition between the world and the court.
It's not between history, it's just the world in his mind!
Corrupt officials are in power, the people are living in poverty, the East Factory wants to massacre loyal and kind people, and the government and the people dare not speak out...
After the overall environment was shaped, Zhou Huainian's rescue was justified and seemed to be popular.
Apart from the blind spots in history, "New Dragon Inn" has almost no flaws and is perfect!
After Xu Hui roughly wrote the script, he found several experts who specialized in studying Ming history to compare. Those experts really derogatory to Xu Hui's history.
Several of the most obvious loopholes were patched, such as Zhou Huaian's identity, which was modified from the Imperial Guard's Chief Instructor to Yang Yuxuan's best friend, and he himself is a famous hero in the world.
The Thousand House General was also changed to a guerrilla general...
As for the eunuchs, four big heads, that thing is difficult to modify...
...
After Xu Hui returned to the company, he began to be busy with the filming of "New Longmen Inn".
The crew is already waiting in the Western Film and Television City in Yinchuan.
Western Cinema was originally an affiliated filming site for Xi'an film studio. Here, "Red Sorghum", "The Wrangler", "The Yellow River Ballad", "The Love of the Yellow River" and "A Chinese Odyssey" were born here!
When Liu Zhenwei and Stephen Chow came to Western Cinema to shoot "A Chinese Odyssey", the relevant leaders were not very happy.
‘What we are here is "Red Sorghum". You, a commercial director, actually want to come and film it?’
Of course, it’s different now. Some scenes of "A Chinese Odyssey" have now become very famous tourist destinations. Every year, many "A Chinese Odyssey" fans come to visit with a pilgrimage mood - not for free!
I insist on coming here to film. In addition to the building closest to Longmen Inn, the most important thing is that it is very vast and spacious, which is very suitable for creating a feeling of a lonely shadow in the world and the world!
Starting from January, the crew went to Western Cinema in batches to help build props and scenes.
The official shooting date has been confirmed on February 27.
However, this time is different from the past, Huang Wen and the others unanimously asked to set up a launch conference!
After its launch, the first work it invested in cannot be overestimated.
In Huiwen Tianxia’s reception hall, Chen Farong was presiding over the on-site order - the company really needed a spokesperson.
A lot of reporters came, after all, this was Xu Hui's first public appearance since he was promoted to a billionaire.
Although these reporters are very concerned about Xu Hui's movies, they are now more concerned about Xu Hui!
There are definitely many stories for media people who can be written into the financial section.
"Please rest assured...Okay, now we invite the main creators of our "New Longmen Inn" to appear."
Chen Farong tried hard to delay time, and finally, the staff at the scene gave her an OK gesture.
Xu Hui took the lead, Nie Yuan, Yu Feihong, Wan Qian and Chen Kun followed him to the center stage.
Then, Paohui introduced the movie.
"Why is it called 'New Dragon Inn'? Because in the 1970s, director Hu Jinquan had already filmed a movie called "Long Gate Inn", which is a very classic martial arts movie. I want to give it something new, but in essence, the structure of this story should still be directed by director Hu Jinquan!"
"In fact, movies have been developed for more than a hundred years. Whether in content or structure, they rarely make innovations. What we filmmakers in the new era need to do is to fill in new stories on the original structure and make the audience feel refreshed."
""New Longmen Inn" tells the battle between the rivers and lakes and the court, which will be a very interesting story!"
Paohui finished his intermittent introduction and reached the reporter's interview session.
Sure enough, a reporter asked, "Director Xu, your current value has exceeded 10 billion..."
"I won't answer questions that have nothing to do with the movie!"
Xu Hui interrupted him directly.
"Do you have any other questions? If not, let other reporters ask questions!"
Paohui has deeply felt the huge pressure brought by wealth in the past few days, and always feels that everyone's attention to him has shifted from his works to wealth!
This is unfair to the director!
It seems that the richest man who is in "Renminbi Players Play with You House". When we watch this movie, can't we put aside the uncovered nobleness of the richest man and give him a score from the perspective of acting skills?
Sorry, I can't do it!
"…Director Xu, I discovered that when you introduced the heroine, you just mentioned the two heroines. Is the movie a love triangle?"
"…It's not a typical love triangle. Zhou Huaian never expressed his feelings for Jin Yingyu, but I know he likes her!"
"Which two heroines do you prefer?"
"...This, the scenes are set relatively evenly, and they have distinct personalities. Whoever acts better will definitely be inclined to her during editing! Although there is only one male lead in this drama, there are a little bit fewer scenes and are always suppressed. However, I believe that Brother Yuan should be fine!"
The topic was naturally involved in Nie Yuan.
"I received the script last November. The director said that there is a character who wants to try it out for me. I like this character very much..."
The biggest news about Nie Yuan was the "Yang Guo dispute" with Huang Xiaoming three years ago.
Chapter completed!
