Chapter 498 Variables
Wu Yushen is now truly aware of Zhang Hehuan's methods. He has worked with Hollywood for so long, especially with Chinese backgrounds. It is basically extremely strong in Hollywood. After all, they are too far ahead in the film industry, so the right to speak naturally is in their hands.
If you feel unfair and bargain with others, then they will set more obstacles for you.
Wu Yushen discovered that Zhang Hehuan dared to challenge Sengma. First, because Zhang Hehuan is very familiar with this international lawsuit and has been preparing to protect his rights. Second, because he has left a backup plan, that is, if the relationship with Sengma breaks down, he can also give his special effects team a head-on. The most important reason is that Zhang Hehuan has strong financial support. Not to mention that domestic investors are optimistic about him, his own background alone is already powerful enough.
Zhang Fuxin, the founder of Fuxin Group, is his grandfather, and Chu Qiuyue, the former chairman of Huafang Group, is his girlfriend. This is his confidence.
As expected, everything you do requires background, and strength is the bottom line.
However, the biggest advantage of Zhang Hehuan's attack on Sengema is that it has changed the US side and they began to take a rigorous attitude towards their work.
The movement capture team led by Thomson has a new look. There has never been any late or early departure. There is no longer any insistence on clearing the scene. Everything is subject to the rules of the New Star Domain.
Zhang Hehuan happened to arrange for Donggua and the others to observe and study on the spot. Although the Donggua team already has good strength, they still lack some in motion capture, and this time it happened to be an excellent opportunity.
Although it is a green screen performance, it tests the difficulty of the performance. Thomson is an expert in terms of no physical performances, so he is basically instructing the scene.
Thomson was obviously tamed by Zhang Hehuan. He respected Zhang Hehuan on the set and was no longer as arrogant as before. Especially when he entered the action scene shooting stage, this guy saw Zhang Hehuan's skills and realized that Zhang Hehuan was a master of kung fu. If he really wanted to do something that day, he would probably be 100% of the person who was lying down, and he was also the one who was sent to the hospital.
If you are not as good as others, you can only bow your head. In terms of strength and wisdom, you are no match for others.
Zhang Hehuan is well aware of how to get along with these foreigners, so he can't be polite to them. If you are polite to them, not only will you not be respected by them, but it will make them feel superior and have a high opinion of themselves. If you want them to be honest and obedient, you must use your strength to impress them...
Thomson is a typical example. According to the Chinese, these foreigners bully the weak and are afraid of the strong, and are born to be humble.
The rivalry between Zhang Hehuan and Quan Zhixian was praised by the crew. Although there is a nine-year-old gap in their age, they are so harmonious and have a sense of CP. In addition, they have the success of "You from the Stars" and the opponents in "Taiping Wheel" have reached a very tacit understanding.
Wu Yushen is not good at guiding love dramas. Yang Xi has helped him with many ideas. He has been the deputy director for so long and has learned a lot from directors like Guo Zairong, and has won Wu Yushen's recognition in this regard.
Although Guo Zairong did not appear in the production team of "Taiping Wheel", Zhang Hehuan gave him the script and asked him to help him summarize. Guo Zairong helped design some plots, which gave Yang Xi a lot of inspiration.
After removing Huang Xiaoming's storyline, the storyline of the entire movie becomes clearer, increasing the proportion of special effects and shortening the length of the movie. According to the current shooting, Wu Yushen expects the total length of the movie to be three hours. In order to optimize the sequence schedule, Zhang Hehuan suggested that he compress the length of the movie to two hours and forty minutes.
One of the key points of "Taiping Wheel" is 3D special effects. Xu Laoqiu is very good at this. Zhang Hehuan asked him to invite him to do 3D technical guidance.
After a few days of not seeing him, Mr. Xu's hair turned much whiter. He put too much effort into the project "Taking Tiger Mountain in Strategy". He finally decided to start the film in October, but unexpectedly there were twists and turns in the middle.
Of course, Zhang Hehuan would not take the initiative to mention this thing that made him unhappy. On that day, Old Monster Xu attended the creative conference as an artistic director. His overall mood was not high, so he just said a few words.
After the meeting, Zhang Hehuan invited him and Wu Yushen to his office.
He poured two people a glass of whiskey, and Old Monster Xu lit a cigar, smoked a cigar and drank a sip of whiskey, but there was still not much smile on his face.
Wu Yu looked at him and said, "I will leave it to you in terms of 3D effects."
Xu Ke nodded and said, "No problem, I have time recently."
Wu Yushen said: "What problems have encountered in the project "Taking Tiger Mountain in Strategy"?"
Xu Ke sighed and said, "Berner believes that this is not the best time to launch this project, and plans to put it on hold for the time being." He has always wanted to bring "Taking Tiger Mountain to the screen. He had such an idea as early as the beginning of entering the mainland market, but he never thought that this project would be so ill-fated.
Zhang Hehuan said: "Is it a funding issue?"
Gu Ju
Xu Ke shook his head and said, "Next year marks the 65th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China. Major film companies are focusing on this subject. Originally, "Taking Tiger Mountain in Strategy" is very consistent, but they are preparing to launch the "Great Battle" series, so "Taking Tiger Mountain in Strategy" can only give way for the time being, not because they don't shoot, but because they are preparing to start the film next year." He was also very helpless, and this delay was another year.
Wu Yushen said: "That happened to help me complete the project of "Taiping Wheel".
Xu Ke said: "Taiping Wheel is your project, and at most I can help supervise the quality."
Zhang Hehuan said: "Does Director Xu have any other projects in his hands now?"
Xu Ke said: "I don't really feel satisfied with the book."
Zhang Hehuan said: "Do you remember that I won the remake of 100 Hong Kong film classics from Xiaoma Pictures. Why don't we choose one for it?"
Xu Ke was stunned for a moment. He had filmed "A Chinese Ghost Story" before, which was Zhang Hehuan's book. When talking about this, he felt a little guilty about Zhang Hehuan. Originally, Wen Yongshi was the first heroine who was decided, but later due to the intervention of investors, the movie ended up being a double heroine, and the box office did not meet expectations. If it weren't for the later online broadcast, it would be difficult to recover the cost. The biggest gain was the practice of special effects. Originally, these attempts in special effects were for "Taking Tiger Mountain in Strategy". Who would have thought that the already-determined boot would be postponed again, so Xu Ke had a very unhappy relationship with Berner.
Zhang Hehuan said: "Although the animation of "Xiaoqian" is being produced, the production cycle is relatively long and it is impossible to be released without three or five years. In this process, we can completely release some live-action movies."
Xu Ke said: "So you had the idea of a remake?"
Zhang Hehuan nodded and said, "I originally planned to wait for your schedule, but now your "Taking Tiger Mountain in Strategy" has been postponed. I have no reason to let go of the artistic director of the New Star Field."
Xu Ke said: "You said this as if I had never contributed to the company."
Zhang Hehuan hugged Xu Laoqian's shoulder and walked aside, whispering: "The film "Taiping Wheel" has a huge investment, and the production cycle is very long, and it will not be released until October next year. "Old Cannon" is a film that I collaborated with Huanshi. According to the current situation, the box office is not optimistic. Our new Star Domain Pictures has just started, so we must produce a brilliant blockbuster, right?"
Xu Ke said: "Which movie did you like?" He was not very interested in remakes. Although Zhang Hehuan won the right to remake classic Hong Kong films, it is easy to say that copying classics is, but in fact, it is not that easy?
With pearls and jade in front, it will inevitably be compared by the audience. If you say you can't become a dog, it will be embarrassing. Xu Ke's most worried is that this kid wants to film "The True Color of Heroes". If it is this film, he can't accept anything. I guess Wu Yushen doesn't do it and repeat himself. In the end, people say that you're not as good as before. Isn't that slap yourself in the face?
Zhang Hehuan said: "I want to make an old martial arts film "New Dragon Inn". In terms of the starring lineup, I plan to play Zhou Huaian, Quan Zhixian play Qiu Moyan, and An Ran plays Jin Xiangyu. Cao Shaoqin, I want to invite Chen Kun."
Xu Ke blinked and was moved. An Ran was originally the most suitable heroine for the Ghost Story in his heart. As for Zhang Hehuan, this kid's acting skills have improved by leaps and bounds recently, and his popularity has continued to rise. Not to mention Quan Zhixian's popularity in Asia, more importantly, Zhang Hehuan and their couple are definitely a powerful tool to attack the city and the village at the box office.
"New Dragon Inn" used to be a film produced by Xu Ke. Although the director was Li Huimin, Xu Laoqiu actually took on a lot of directorial work at that time. He was too familiar with this movie. The box office of this movie was not high at that time, but the subsequent reputation was excellent. Zhang Hehuan set his sights on this movie, and his vision was enough.
Xu Ke said: "It's been a movie twenty years ago, and it's not too long."
Zhang Hehuan said: "It was 2D at that time. With our current technical conditions, we can completely reproduce it with 3D technology.
Xu Ke said: "When are you planning to turn on the computer?"
"As long as you want, we can start filming in September. I don't have many scenes in "The Peace Wheel" and it will be basically over next week. I can just use this time to polish the script."
Xu Ke said: "When will it be released?"
Zhang Hehuan laughed and said, "Spring Festival!"
"Old Cannon" still failed the fourth review. Because of the review, Zhang Yimou has a new understanding of Huanshi's energy. Huanshi has a slew of exaggeration from top to bottom, and is good at painting big cakes. As long as it is a field of making money, they want to get a kick, and they are good at publicity and hype.
In today's era, just caught up with the dividends of the Internet, and Huanshi has successfully gained a lot of money, but with money, the next step is how to increase the value of assets. The bubble is ultimately a bubble. The bigger the blow, the greater the danger of breaking.
