China entertainment that year eighteen

Chapter 213 Introduce a few girls, new script (two in one)

After finalizing the contract with Zhang Ziyi, Lu Heng smiled and said, "It's already noon, let's have a meal together."

"Okay~" Zhang Ziyi smiled, and after going out with Lu Heng, sitting in the car, Zhang Ziyi turned to look at Lu Heng's side face, and smiled slightly:
"I heard from Xiaojing before that you are very attractive, and now that you are in close contact with her, you really deserve your reputation."

The last time she filmed "The Legend of Shu Mountain", she just greeted Lu Heng, who was not familiar with him at that time, and Lu Heng still focused more on Zhang Baizhi, which is naturally different from this time.

So Lu Heng suddenly smiled and said:
"It turns out that I still have such a reputation among the 96 golden flowers of your Chinese opera?"

"That's not true~ I heard that you asked me to make a movie, they are so greedy." Zhang Ziyi covered her mouth and smiled.

She is only one year older than Lu Heng, and she is just in her early 22s. That is to say, she has already gone to college at the age of 17. She is the youngest in their class, but she is the first to become famous.

Now that she has just graduated for a year, she has already acted in three films. Originally, Cheng Long's "Rush Hour II" started casting, and she also signed up for an audition, but there is no result yet, and Lu Heng has cut her off in advance.

Therefore, the scene of sitting on the lap feeding grapes and being ridiculed by Zhou Runfa is no longer seen.

However, Lu Heng has seen all kinds of women with no background who want to get ahead in the entertainment industry.In the beginning, it might be luck that she was chosen by Lao Mouzi, and it was also a small face from God, but after that, she wanted to improve step by step. Emotional intelligence, hard work, and money and even physical sacrifices are not surprising.

Who is cleaner than this Vanity Fair?Before it bursts out, it is a small white flower. After it bursts out, it may become a white lotus.

Anyway, on Lu Heng's side, we play every occasion, we can't wait until we're old and weep when we're drunk today, no matter what happens in the future, at least we've eaten, used, bought and played, done stupid things, and offered love , The cultural industry has also contributed to going overseas, and this life is not wasted.

In the previous life, he was an ordinary person from a small town with a little bit of talent. He stumbled all the way to become an "old opera bone" in his 40s.

Of course, Lu Heng is not only greedy for enjoyment, but also has his own ambitions.

Take this film as an example, the first and sequential considerations in casting are the three aspects of fame, fit, and acting skills. This is responsible for the quality of the film. Among mainland actresses in this period, the three conditions add up , Zhang Ziyi is definitely the best candidate.

And her efforts are obvious to all——

Before Li Ang's "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" Yu Jiaolong decided to be Shu Qi, she couldn't get her turn at all, it was Lao Mouzi who called to recommend, even so, she was just a spare tire after the past, from beginning to end Li An Didn't pay much attention to it.

But Shu Qi was on fire at that time, and there were several dramas a year. Her company couldn't accept practicing half a year in advance. Disappointed, Ang Lee chose another actress named Wang Ling, but she couldn't stand the high-intensity practice. , also quit automatically. At this time, Zhang Ziyi, who was practicing kung fu by the side, entered Li An's eyes.

Few actresses can do that kind of ruthlessness towards themselves. In one scene, Yang Ziqiong's weapon directly knocked off Zhang's nails, and the blood flowed continuously. Zhang stuck his hand into the snow to stop the bleeding.Another scene was Zhang Ziyi's first filming by hanging a steel wire against a wall. When most people are about to hit a wall, they would instinctively protect themselves with their hands first. She didn't, she hit her face against the wall.

As an actress, she is competent. In Lu Heng's view, many people think her international chapter is derogatory, but Lu Heng thinks that where you pay, you may not be rewarded, but you are at least growing yourself. And for an actor who has good looks and is willing to give, and has a masterpiece, it is not difficult to understand that he has reached such a height.

Lu Heng smiled and chatted with her in the car, talking about the filming of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" before, and Lu Heng finally said lightly:

"I had conflicts with him before, but it's all in the past, but I'm not used to many of his problems."

Zhang Ziyi smiled. She didn't say much on this issue, and she didn't want to say much. Instead, she said:

"By the way, Xiaojing and Xiaoli are also in the capital. I'll make an appointment later to treat you to dinner. Come together? We'll probably get busier in the future, and if we want to get together in the future, we probably won't have many chances. .”

Lu Heng smiled and said, "Okay."

After the two had a meal, Lu Heng sent her back.

At this time, SHE's album has been distributed, and it has been launched in major audio-visual stores across the country. TV stations and radio stations are also playing it in turn, and even CCTV has even appeared in their MTV exhibition.In addition, Lu Heng also took the three of them on CCTV and even local variety shows, and countless talents suddenly realized——

The three ordinary girls who came out of Lu Heng's "Super Girl" audition show have truly become singers!
Seeing this scene, Wang Ti felt endless regrets.

And far away in Guangdong City, Jiang Hui, who was No.6 before, failed to advance and fell out, and now her intestines are ruined.

As for Wang Yiwen and Su Lulu who ranked seventh and eighth, at that time they felt that the Rolling Stones had more development and were dug out, but now they are still acting as backup tires. The time to release an album is far away, and it is too late to regret it.

Sometimes hard work is important, but choice is also important.

Lu Heng didn't know if Zhang Ziyi would regret signing with him when she received a call from Cheng Long in a few days. After all, she was filming in Hollywood, but if she really gave up her side for that, Lu Heng would not soften her heart. But whether she will have any development because of that movie, I don't know.

The other one is the later stage of "Blood Romance" and its release.

When preparing for "Blood Romance", Lu Heng still followed the usual practice, only taking half of it himself, and sharing the remaining half.

Of course, what was distributed was only the investment amount. Lu Heng's company was still in charge of all the affairs of the crew.

This kind of thing happened twice in a row, basically no one has any doubts, who doesn't want to just invest and wait for dividends?
However, during the shooting process, Lu Heng will also use their equipment, personnel, or shooting venues, channels, etc., which are basically the use of cabbage prices.

So it seems that Lu Heng earns less than fighting alone, but the speed is faster, and the cost is lowered. With the extra money, he can even make two films, and he earns more than the single one.And in many shootings, having them come forward can reduce a lot of troublesome things in local coordination. Even if all the models are popular in the later stage, they will not attract jealousy, because they have already made the plate bigger.

So now the post-production has not been finished, and there are too many TV stations who have fixed the film, especially many TV stations have not even watched the finished film, and they will pay directly.

This reminded Lu Heng of a variety show in the past. When an advertisement was launched to attract investment, many advertisers directly threw money into it.

After negotiating this matter, Lu Heng also went through the history of the Three Kingdoms and the performing arts in his mind, and then began to formally write the screenplay.

This change is indeed a major change, the original version has too many problems.

Take the opening chapter as an example, the main hall was silent, the officials were solemn, and Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty was so bored playing with birds there. In such an atmosphere, Cao Cao entered the hall with confidence, and said that he would conquer Sun Liu, and Emperor Xian of the Han murmured He agreed, but Kong Rong stood up and objected, and then Cao Cao smiled contemptuously, waved his hand, and killed Kong Rong to sacrifice the flag!
This paragraph, probably through the daring of the officials and the silence of Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, set off the power of Cao Cao, and killed Kong Rong, portraying his domineering (bá) hu (hù) 欣 (zì) sui (suī) ).

Then the screen turned, and we arrived at Changbanpo.

Lu Heng is not saying that there is any problem with this, but that the creation at the beginning is a bit stereotyped and monotonous, and you are a war blockbuster, not a literary youth. It is depressing to watch such a paragraph.

The battle of Chibi was evaluated from the very beginning. Cao Cao's failure was due to his contempt for "arrogance" - he had just won and returned to the court, and immediately sent 80 troops to the south to conquer. How angry he was!
However, the arrogant soldiers must be defeated!

At the beginning of the original version, when Cao Cao asked Han Xiandi to allow him to crusade against Sun Liu, Han Xiandi said that he had just conquered Karasuma and asked him to rest for a while.

According to historical records, Cao Cao's Northern Expedition to Karasuma won a complete victory, which not only wiped out the Yuan family, but also solved the disaster of Karasuma in the three counties!In this way, the two prefectures of Ji and You, which were the backs, were directly settled down, laying the foundation for the crusade to the south.

Therefore, Beizheng Karasuma can be placed at the beginning!
Not only is this not obtrusive, but it also has a link with the past and the future with the Battle of Chibi. Of course, it will not use a large space, but a few minutes of footage, focusing on depicting Cao Cao's strategy of sweeping across the area, his majestic and domineering galloping, and his decisive killing of tigers and wolves. The teacher, and the growing arrogance of Desheng Triumph!

With such a foreshadowing, he took advantage of the situation to lay the foundation for the "arrogance" who went south to conquer, and also portrayed his image through such a scene.

And as a movie, a hormonal-stimulating battlefield hurricane at the beginning can not only quickly draw the audience in, but also a delicious appetizer, not as depressing as the original Han Xiandi's silence and the solemnity of the officials.

With these, the reaction of the officials and Han Xiandi at the beginning is completely unnecessary. Kong Rong objected, just kill him, and the short article ends!

Turning to the subsequent southward march, Liu Cong was so frightened that he surrendered immediately. The whole journey was like a broken bamboo, which added to his arrogance. Then he learned that Liu Bei had escaped. In order to prevent him from occupying Jiangling, which is rich in supplies, Cao Cao personally brought five thousand light cavalry for a day. Run for three hundred miles and catch up with Liu Bei on Changbanpo!
In fact, this chapter is not very long at all, and it can be presented in just three or two minutes, but the original version was directly discarded. After Cao Cao killed Kong Rong to sacrifice the flag, the screen turned to Changbanpo fleeing and fighting.

The explanation is unclear, and in a short period of time, the audience is confused and confused about the timeline.

That is to say, should there be any explanations? Tong Dawei and Qian Wei's role, as well as Xiao Qiao's and Zhuge Liang's and Zhou Yu's basic dramas, are so useless, they are top-heavy!

Therefore, Lu Heng is going to cut out those irrelevant things that slow down the pace, and turn to complete storytelling, not only to clarify the timeline, but to advance layer by layer, so that the arrogance of Cao Jun's continuous victory will be hit hard at the end. Complete the shocking reversal, and finally lose Huarong Dao's embarrassment, in stark contrast!

What this kind of blockbuster movie needs is a hearty one, with so many literary dramas, even emotional dramas... Are you full?

Human life is like grass, and in the era when Liu Bei gave up his wife and son, how can there be so much emotional talk? Of course, it’s not that you can’t, but Zhou Yu and Xiao Qiao can have a part, as for Xiao Qiao and Cao Cao... what kind of mentally retarded part is that? ?
Zhou Yu and Xiao Qiao had a relationship scene, which added a little relief to the tense atmosphere, made the rhythm more relaxed, and also portrayed Zhou Yu as a calm and composed demeanor under pressure from the army.

Just like Su Dongpo's calm and unhurried expression of "the mast and scull fly into ashes while talking and laughing", this kind of faint pretense, on the contrary, whetted the audience's appetite and filled the expectations for the final peak showdown.

Another scene between Sun Shangxiang and Liu Bei, of course, has to be mentioned. As for the other emotional scenes, and some scenes added to show the stars, as long as they are not important to the plot, what should be deleted is impossible to keep.

In an interview before, Wu Yusen also boasted that such a long drama is not what I want, it is really exciting everywhere, there is nothing to delete, and it can only be made into two parts.

And if you operate like Lu Heng, two and a half hours is enough to finish the lecture.

And Wu Yusen's "On the Red Cliff" took 145 minutes, and the second part was the same. The two parts were nearly [-] minutes and five hours. The rhythm slowed down and greatly affected the impression.

Although the total box office may be reduced by changing two films into one, the box office of a single film will definitely exceed a large part.

Furthermore, apart from Huaxia and Neon, the film copyrights of other countries were sold through Hollywood agencies long before the filming started. For him, he could get the money in advance and invest in the filming.

But Lu Heng naturally wouldn't do that.

In fact, many directors and screenwriters don't know how to tell a good story, but they have too many obstacles, but Lu Heng doesn't have this problem.

At his current position, with Han Ping's support behind him, who dares to come to Cyprus?
Therefore, after the modification of Chibi, the look and feel of the movie have increased a lot, and even this kind of blockbuster is more exciting than "Hero". The box office in Europe and the United States can also look forward to it, because it is also in line with their tastes-not all Hollywood blockbusters Is this the rhythm?
Among other things, "Mission: Impossible 2" filmed by John Woo last year had a global box office of more than 5 million U.S. dollars. This kind of series, as well as 007, are all different things. The task, through the exciting scenes, finally completed the task after a fierce duel, Dzogchen!

As long as Lu Heng's rhythm is in place, and Yuan Bin's martial arts design, large-scale war scenes, Zhao Zilong's crossing Changbanpo, etc., not to mention domestic audiences, foreign audiences will also be screaming with excitement.

So, after finishing all these, Lu Hengyun pointed like a fly, and presented the pictures in his mind on the computer one by one.

Rather than saying it's an adaptation, it's better to say it's breaking up the original film and reorganizing it, keeping some wonderful clips, and the rest...I guess after the filming is finished, show it to Wu Yusen in his previous life, and he might not be able to recognize it.
