China entertainment that year eighteen

Chapter 216 A Date After Dusk (Two in One)

Although Lu Heng's idea is sudden, he has actually been thinking about it recently.

He does have references to the filming of "Red Cliff" in his previous life in his mind, and he also has experience in filming and film and television drama production in two lifetimes, which is equivalent to knowing both in front of and behind the scenes.But this kind of war scene, especially the large-scale dispatch, Lu Heng didn't have a clue in his mind.

It doesn't mean that you can reproduce it perfectly after seeing it - because what you see is only a finished film, and there is no process in it.If you want to shoot this kind of big scene well, you need not only experience, but also the scheduling ability to control the overall situation.Just like the joke in later generations: Once you see it, you know it, but once you learn it, you lose it.

Although Lu Heng will not give up as soon as he learns, his goal is to surpass the original film, and he must strive for excellence.

Professional people do professional things. There are not many directors in China who can make such big scenes in movies. In fact, there were a group of directors 40 to [-] years ago, such as those old directors from Bayi Factory. They made those modern war movies and mobilized thousands Thousands of soldiers came to shoot.

But now that these old directors have passed away, even if they are still alive, they cannot support such high-intensity work.

There are only Lao Mouzi, Chen Kaige and others, but Lao Mouzi is planning his "Hero" now, and he will definitely not agree.

Chen Kaige had filmed "Jing Ke Assassinates the King of Qin" before, and just happened to talk about his filming "Lu Bu and Diao Chan", so this idea came to Lu Heng's mind.

But the industry has been saying that before "Farewell My Concubine" won the Palme d'Or, there was still his father who could suppress him, but after winning the grand prize, no one could suppress him.

There is even a saying that he only participated in "Farewell My Concubine" back then, and it was his father who really controlled the overall situation - but based on Lu Heng's understanding, this kind of saying is probably unreliable.

Before "Farewell My Concubine", his father was an old director, and he made many films, but none of them could reach such a high level, let alone the second year after the filming, his father died of lung cancer in 94 , but after that, Chen Kaige also made some high-quality works, such as "Jing Ke", such as "With You"-the plot structure and delicate expression also showed his skill.

The "The Promise" that made him fall from the altar was not useless, but the main problem was the plot. That's why some people said later that as long as Lao Chen doesn't let his mind fly and completes the filming with a calm mind, his movies will not be too bad. Poor, I'm afraid that he will add some ingredients, and it will end up as a dark dish.

The key is whether anyone can hold him down.

Because of this, although Lu Heng had an idea in his mind, he didn't mention it for the time being, because he didn't have a clue in his own mind. Although Lu Heng has made some achievements, it is not enough to make Lao Chen obedient, so he can only look at Lao Han. .

After chatting with him for a while, Lu Heng went out to the yard and called Han Ping to express his thoughts.

Lao Han didn't know whether to laugh or cry after hearing this: "You think highly of me, do you know why we didn't cooperate again after he finished filming "Jing Ke" the year before last?"

Lu Heng was stunned: "Could it be that you two had some conflicts?"

Lao Han said: "Contradictions are not so much, that movie was produced by Beijing Film Studio, and I approved it at the time, so I was suspended as a producer at that time, but there were some problems during the filming process, I talked to him, he He didn't listen at all, and he became irritated after talking too much. Anyway, he felt that he won the big prize. His level has reached a level that I can't question it at will, but the problem is-any opinion I have on his side is called random questioning. Only if he approves, then it doesn't count, isn't this just talking about it!"

After a pause, Old Han said: "At that time, I was very angry, but his qualifications were there, and all the bids were taken, so I couldn't withdraw it. Later, he had the final say in the meeting to discuss some issues, and at that time Hengdian also participated in the investment, and built the Qin Palace. They were optimistic about him. I can’t say much about it. In the end, it was like this, but in the end... the movie lost money. On the contrary, Hengdian and the others had a good idea. Now tourism is booming .”

Lu Heng understood: "Even if you are in Huaying Group now, you still can't talk to him?"

Lao Han said without hesitation: "For a person like him, if his career can always support him to go up, he will not change unless he stumbles in the future, so don't talk about me as the vice president now, even if he is Mr. Tong, He may not necessarily listen to comments on his movies.”

"Okay, then I'll think about it again." Lu Heng dismissed this idea.

Originally, Lu Heng was just an idea. It didn't mean that it was Lao Chen who couldn't eat meat without Butcher Zhang?

Lu Heng is different from Lao Chen. Although he has memories of his previous life and more than 20 years of experience in this industry, it is a matter of course for him to be successful in this life, but he will not ignore any opinions, even if he is Lu Heng would also consider the programs, movies or TV series he had worked on before, as long as others made reasonable suggestions.

At this time, Han Ping said: "I thought you had an idea before, but I dared to search around and put my idea on his head."

Lu Heng heard what he meant, and said in his heart: "Then what do you mean?"

"Since you are filming the Three Kingdoms and Chibi, CCTV's films were so classic back then, why didn't you find those directors?"

Lu Heng was stunned, and said: "I was thinking about movies before, but I didn't think about TV dramas, and the two are different carriers, and the sense of picture is different, so..."

Saying that, Lu Heng immediately flipped out the 94 edition of "Three Kingdoms" in his mind, and went straight to the part about the Chibi War. Looking at it... Hey, it seems really good.

And Han Ping smiled and said: "You are just thinking wrong. The part of the Chibi War was also on a large scale. Not only thousands of people were filmed together, but many soldiers were among them. And I guess you don't know that the Three Kingdoms filmed that year. It’s not just one director, but many directors, and each director is in charge of a part of it, and the part of “The Battle of the Red Cliff”, which is the biggest scene, is the only female director among several directors.”

At this time, Lu Heng had indeed found information on this aspect from his memory. He had watched the Romance of the Three Kingdoms TV series several times back then, and he had also looked up relevant information on the Internet.

The chief director is Wang Fulin, and the director of "The Battle of the Red Cliff" is indeed the only female director, Cai Xiaoqing.

There was a rule back then, when selecting directors for filming Three Kingdoms, there was a rigid rule that they had won the Fei Tian Award, which was the highest award in TV drama before the Golden Eagle Award.

Han Pingdao: "She can stand out among those directors. She is in charge of such an important scene and can manage so many people. It is conceivable that she is outstanding. If she is hired to shoot, she will definitely not be inferior."

After a pause, Han Ping said: "Also don't watch her directing TV series, but she is also a graduate of the directing department, and she is a senior of our 61st class of Beijing Film and Television."

Lu Heng hesitated: "Then how old is she now, can she still be competent?"

Han Ping said with a smile: "I guess she is not yet 60 years old. Last year she went to the plateau to film "Princess Wencheng". Don't underestimate her."

Lu Heng didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "It's not that I underestimate her, it's just this kind of high-intensity work that worries her body, but since she can go to the plateau to film, it should be very good."

"Yes, the main problem now is whether she has time. I also have some friendship with her. I will contact her later. If she is interested, you can talk to her in detail at that time."

"Okay, please trouble third uncle." Lu Heng said with a smile.

"What's the trouble? It's my job." After a pause, Han Ping continued:
"What is your plan for this movie? If you are the leading actor, the director should find someone else, right?"

Lu Heng thought for a while, and said, "I feel that it is better for me to control these contents as a whole, and she is responsible for the specific implementation, but I don't know if she is willing or not, after all, she is a senior."

Han Pingdao: "It shouldn't be a big problem. She was also a part of the director in Romance of the Three Kingdoms before. Besides, for a blockbuster with such an investment scale, let alone the executive director, even the drama staff are rushing in. Don't put yourself Underestimated."

Lu Heng was stunned for a moment, and only later did he realize that this was indeed the truth, and he couldn't help but said, "It's because I underestimated myself."

Han Ping laughed loudly: "Just understand it, do it well, and tell me if you have any questions."

"Okay, then you are busy."

After hanging up the phone, Lu Heng flipped through the story of "The Burning of Chibi" in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms in his mind. It was indeed a big scene, and a flame ignited in his heart.

Indeed, there is no shortage of talents in China. In fact, even if Lu Heng himself did not push him to that point, if he really did it, he might not be able to export it alone.

Of course, with the participation of Cai Xiaoqing, a senior expert, Lu Heng can also relax a lot, and in the process, he can also learn from it and accumulate experience for making blockbuster films in the future.

Thinking of studying, Lu Heng suddenly remembered Ning Hao, who was at the same level as him, why not sign him in, bring him to the crew, and let him participate in the study as well.

The [-]th Beijing College Student Film Festival just ended, he was nominated for the best director award for his "Thursday, Wednesday" as a sophomore, although he didn't win in the end, but for a sophomore That being said, being nominated is already very impressive.

Since he already has a masterpiece, Lu Heng has a good reason to ask him. This time he was brought into the "Red Cliff" crew, not because he can play any role, but more to cultivate, and it is almost the same to say that he is pulling the seedlings and encouraging them.But for such a talented player, he can keep up with it and catalyze it.

Lu Heng returned to the house again, and there were more people than before. Seeing Lu Heng, Chen Hong came over and said:
"Where did you go just now? I thought you were gone. I called you and I was still on the phone."

"I haven't eaten your meal yet, how can I leave so soon." Lu Heng laughed.

"You really came here for dinner?" Chen Hong couldn't laugh or cry.

Lu Heng moved forward a little bit, and said with a smile, "How about eating you?"

Chen Hong was startled, raised her eyes and glared at Lu Heng, her voice seemed to come out of her teeth: "You really... dare to talk nonsense everywhere!"

"I haven't seen you for almost a year, isn't it involuntary?"

Being teased by Lu Heng like this, Chen Hong was shocked and ashamed, but a different kind of throbbing arose in her heart. She stretched out her hand to stroke the hair on her forehead to cover up her emotions, and then said to Lu Heng:

"Where it's cool, you stay where it is first, to cool down."

Lu Heng didn't continue to talk anymore, and nodded with a smile. Under Chen Hong's complicated eyes, he turned around and found a seat and drank tea by himself.

As for Chen Hong, she turned around and went to the bathroom.

At noon, I ate at a hotel next to her home. Lu Heng didn't drink, even though he was constantly being persuaded to drink, he refused.For him now, no one dared to say things like "If you don't drink, you look down on me", so he ate this meal fairly quietly.

After lunch, Lu Heng left, but after he got into Xu Kun's car, he received a message on his mobile phone: "Do you have time tonight?"

Lu Heng felt hot in his heart, and replied: "If you don't create conditions, you have to have them."

"At seven o'clock in the evening, that old house will wait for me, okay?"

"Okay!" Lu Heng simply replied one word decisively, and then there was no reply.

Lu Heng didn't take it seriously either. He stuffed the phone back into his pocket, closed his eyes and fell asleep, but a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Before I knew it, it had been more than two years since I came back, and time went by very fast.

Thinking of the time of seven o'clock, Lu Heng said with a smile: "After the appointment at dusk, this is..."

And at night, Lu Heng strolled to the old house.

Speaking of which, since I moved to the courtyard, I have never been here again, and I don’t know if the piano has been played or the sofa has been sat on.

However, Lu Heng didn't go up directly, but waited outside the yard, because he saw that the lights on the house above had not been turned on, until after a while, he saw Chen Hong driving her family's car over.

I watched a plump figure get out of the car, watched her enter the corridor, and saw her go up through the hollowed-out window of the corridor. After a while, the lights in the room came on.

Lu Heng checked the time, it was 18:55.

Looking around, there was no one there, and it happened that there were willow trees planted by the side of the road, and a bright moon was rising.

Good mood!
Just as Lu Heng was about to enter the yard, the phone rang, and when she got through, she heard her soft voice from inside: "Where are you?"

"Where is what?" Lu Heng deliberately replied.

"Ah? You didn't come?" Chen Hong's voice had already started to change its tone.

"where to?"

When he said that, Lu Heng had already crossed the yard, his voice was buzzing while wearing a mask.

"You!" Chen Hong seemed a little angry.

"Oh, I remembered, something was delayed just now, so I'll go over now?" Lu Heng walked into the corridor while talking.

"Old Chen is drinking with the guests at night, and he will have to socialize later. I just took the time to see off relatives. If you come here now, I can't wait!"

As she said that, Chen Hong was a little annoyed: "How dare you lie to me!"

"not me--"

"Forget it, don't come."

"Hey—" Lu Heng wanted to say something, but the phone was hung up, and he couldn't help but feel a little bit dumbfounded, so he continued to go upstairs.

Half a minute later, he arrived at the door. Just as he was about to knock, the door was pulled open from the inside. Chen Hong, who was about to go out, saw Lu Heng standing at the door, and was stunned. Then Lu Heng stepped forward and hugged him with a smile!
"You liar!"

Chen Hong thumped twice in embarrassment, but the second thump was obviously exhausted.

Just as Lu Heng wanted to do something, Chen Hong urged in a low voice: "Close the door!"

"boom!"

The door was closed, and a new round of noises started inside, just like in the past, colorful and fragrant~
