How China Entertainment was developed

Chapter 366: Chenglong: A beautiful myth for everyone
Until he met Zhang Nan's eyes.

Zhang Yimou finally confirmed this fact, and then he was deeply moved.

Because during this period of time, because the box office of "House of Flying Daggers" was far inferior to that of "Hero", he encountered various experiences of being praised and criticized.

"Yes, after the box office success of [House of Flying Daggers], I felt that I was a little too impetuous before, so I thought about returning to my old job and settling down for a while." Zhang Yimou responded to Zhang Nan's inquiry sincerely.

After Zhang Yiyou finished answering, Chen Wuji's mood became unbearable.

He felt that Zhang Nan should start a fight with him first, but Zhang Nan's behavior now made him quite dissatisfied.

Although Chen Wuji was dissatisfied, he did not dare to show it in front of Zhang Nan. After all, the disparity in their status was too great.

And when Zhang Yimou finished answering, Chen Wuji couldn't bear it any longer and interrupted: "Director Zhang, my new work [Wuji] is scheduled to be released in mid-December at the end of the year. I hope that during the premiere, you will I can give you a face."

Hearing Chen Wuji's words, Zhang Nan set his sights on him.

Regarding Chen Wuji, Zhang Nan's evaluation of him is: This person is not big-minded, he is too pretentious, and he is the kind of pretense that he has no ability.

This is not only due to the fact that after its release in "The Promise", it sued for the spoof video "A Murderous Case Caused by a Full Head" and the famous saying "No one will understand it in ten years" in the media.

Zhang Nan later heard about a family variety show, and Chen Wuji participated in it to make his son's debut.

Then in front of the camera, the various rules at Chen Wuji’s house!

Awkward, stiff, and pretentious to the extreme.

Of course, personal personality aside.

In terms of directing ability alone, Chen Wuji is not so bad that he is worthless. He is still somewhat capable.

Let's put it this way, if the film is shot in a normal way, the quality of the film produced is still watchable.

Regardless of his winning the Palme d'Or, it is most likely that his father helped him film "Farewell My Concubine".

After [The Promise], he directed a cell in [Mei Lanfang], [The Orphan of Zhao], [Search], [The Taoist Comes Down the Mountain], [The Legend of the Demon Cat], [My Motherland and Me], and co-directed [Changjin Lake] series.

If you choose from the above movies.

Zhang Nan feels that there are still some movies that can be watched.

such as……

Zhang Nan thought for a long time, but couldn't think of any movie that suited his taste.

If I really had to choose, [Taoist Priest Descends from the Mountain] barely meets Zhang Nan's taste.

The special effect of the fish tank that combines Kowloon and the sky is quite eye-catching; there is also the fight scene between Guo Tianwang and the charterer, which is very exciting; and the um um ah ah ah scene between Model Lin and Chef Fan is a contrast. The impact on people is also good.

But [Taoist Priest Descends from the Mountain] was filmed ten years later by Chen Wuji in 2015.

Anyone who stays in the position of a great director for ten years will probably have no difficulty in producing a film like "The Taoist Priest Descends from the Mountain".

Thinking of this, Zhang Nan took back his thoughts and responded to Chen Wuji's invitation in a hesitant tone: "Mid-December at the end of the year?
I'll try my best. Director Chen should also know that I have a good relationship with Peter Jackson, the director of "The Lord of the Rings". I guest-starred in three of his "Lord of the Rings" series and also collaborated on "The Lord of the Rings - The Legend of Sauron". .

His new film "King Kong" is also scheduled to be released in mid-December, and I may not be able to get away by then. "

Although Zhang Nan looked down upon Chen Wuji.

But I can’t stand the fact that in the Mainland film industry, there are only a few big fish and a few small fish.

The fact that Chen Wuji has always been a major director in the mainland film industry also shows one thing, that is, in terms of the overall strength of directors in the mainland film industry, Chen Wuji is indeed the leader.

So Zhang Nan gave a vague and tactful answer to Chen Wuji's invitation.

Chen Wuji naturally heard the meaning of Zhang Nan's words and knew that Zhang Nan's words meant a polite refusal.

But there was no dissatisfaction on Chen Wuji's face.

After all, the reason given by Zhang Nan is indeed reasonable enough.

Peter Jackson not only has a higher celebrity status than him, but also has a closer relationship with Zhang Nan. The schedules of the two movies conflicted, and he would have chosen to attend the premiere of Peter Jackson's movie.

So Chen Wuji pretended to be a bit pretentious and said to Zhang Nan: "That's a bit regretful. In fact, I also have some admiration for director Peter. My film "The Promise" is based on the epic style of the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy. A more realistic and dramatic portrayal, while filming.”

Zhang Nan: "..."

Good guy.

You really know how to pretend!
……

After chatting with Zhang Yimou and Chen Wuji, the premiere of [Mythology] is about to enter the screening stage.

Jin Xi'an left Zhang Nan and followed Chenglong on stage to give his final speech.

As a multi-country co-production (China, South Korea, India), and starring a superstar like Chenglong, the final speech was particularly cumbersome.

After one party finished speaking, the other party came on the stage, chatting for almost half an hour before the movie officially entered the screening stage.

The lights in the screening room slowly dimmed, and the big screen slowly lit up.

First there was a section of various flashy trademarks, and then a team appeared on the desert, and a dragon in military uniform appeared on the stage.Then there was a battle scene with an ambush, and then the screen went black. Chenglong, who was lying on the bed in modern times, woke up. Everything just happened was like a dream.

To be honest, the plot and design of [Myth] are pretty good.

Director Tang Ji Li also shot it well.

The interweaving of ancient times and modern times constantly creates a sense of expectation and sets off the atmosphere very well.

The only thing that makes Zhang Nan confused is that he doesn't know how much benefit the neon capital behind Jin Chengwu has given to director Tang Ji Li, so that this guy insists on getting Jin Chengwu and [Shinhwa] together.

Not to mention the male protagonist of the "Myth" project, he was originally written according to Kim Sung-oh's conditions.

Good guy.

The leading actor in a project with an investment of tens of millions of RMB.

You said it was based on someone like Kim Sung-oh, who doesn't even have a million-dollar box office appeal.

If this is the case, no matter how well written this project is, it will be rejected if submitted.

It can only be said that at this time, too many people in the mainland entertainment industry worship foreign things, and the entertainment industry in Neon is too good at hype.

……

Accompanied by the music of "Beautiful Myth", the movie comes to an end with Chenglong's slightly vicissitudes of life and Jin Xi's very soft and charming tone.

"The Promise", which was released at the end of the year, received warm applause after the movie ended.

At this time, [Mythology] will naturally receive a lot of applause.

Of course there are some who have some opinions about the movie.

For example, the high-spirited Chen Wuji felt that the film was average and too superficial, but under the power of Chenglong, he still gave him perfunctory applause.

So the premiere ended in a happy atmosphere.

The guests left one after another.

Zhang Nan also held Jin Xi's hand, preparing to have a discussion with Jin Xi'an in the evening.

Since you gave me this name because you like eels, I have to investigate on the spot that night to see how much you like eels.

As a result, Zhang Nan had just put Jinxi Eel in his car, and Chenglong appeared out of nowhere and pulled Zhang Nan back.

"Anan, you've finished watching the movie, what do you think?"

Listening to this expected inquiry, Zhang Nan nodded pretending to be thoughtful. At that moment, the part sung by Chenglong in the ending song of the movie "Beautiful Myth" was played outside the cinema. The sound was not pleasant, but it was quite interesting. Tasteful.

So Zhang Nan replied with some joking: "Brother, your voice is quite good. It's really timeless and has charm."

Zhang Nan really wasn't talking nonsense.

In the future, Sun Nan and Sister Han will be invited to sing the song "Beautiful Myth".

But everyone still thinks that this version of Chenglong is better.

Of course.

It may also be that the style of this kind of love song is indeed too conflicting with that of Sun Nan and Han Jie, two singers with considerable tonnage.

The two of them were good at singing, but when the song "Beautiful Myth" was sung by these two people, it seemed less beautiful and mythical.

Chenglong knew Zhang Nan was joking, but his face darkened after hearing this.

Because when it comes to music, Chenglong has really tried it and even released a CD.

Even by that time, he had become a superstar and had a lot of fame from the beginning, but the sales of his discs were still abysmal.

It was also because of this that the previous little house chose to study music.

It's not because Little House likes music, but because he wants to defeat his father. Taking the music path is the easiest way to succeed.

But it turns out that dragons give birth to dragons, phoenixes give birth to phoenixes, and mice’s sons can dig holes. This sentence is not necessarily true, but in most cases, it is relatively correct.

Chenglong is not good at singing, and Prince Long, as the inheritor of Chenglong's orthodox DNA, is also quite bad.

I studied music with Li Zongsheng for several years.

This is my first album, and the quality of the lyrics and music is even better.

But the final result was that the lead singer Long Taizi was not popular, but the female vocals accompanied by Long Taizi became popular - for example, in the song "The Best of Me", the backup singer Gong Zhiyi became popular.

Of course, this is not because the female backup singers are outstanding, but because Little House pulls her hips by herself.

The whole song's somewhat difficult singing style is basically left to the female accompaniment.

Little House just sings some songs there, called RAP, but in reality it’s just easy to read the lyrics, so it’s weird if it’s popular.
