China Entertainment: Been working as a director since 03

Chapter 218 No comparison, no harm

The opening of "Guandu" is a mixture of war, court, the aggrieved emperor, and the powerful Cao Cao.

The dozens of seconds of footage coupled with a few simple narrations clearly tell the audience that this is the story after Cao Cao welcomed the emperor to Xu County.

With these years of conquering east and west, Cao Cao became stronger and stronger.

His attitude towards the emperor was no longer as respectful as before, and he even had the tendency to bully the emperor.

Conflict has arisen between the emperor and Cao Cao.

"A very routine opening, very mediocre, but better than stability, basically no mistakes."

Feng Xiaogang made a comment after watching the opening scene, which lasted only a few dozen seconds.

This opening can only be described as passable, not excellent at all.

Feng Xiaogang thinks so.

Mr. Wang felt a little regretful after listening to Feng Xiaogang’s comments!

However, the fact that he was able to find professionals to write lines of this level also proves that he is a director who pays great attention to details and really wants to make a good movie. "

Ah! At this level, how dare you invite him to watch the premiere of "Guandu"? Li Yu is really not afraid of being laughed at.

Li Yu's requirement for the lines is not to lose the charm of ancient prose, but also to make it understandable to modern audiences.

Facts have proved that it is correct to leave the lines to professionals to polish and modify them.

In short, we need to find a balance between classical Chinese and modern Chinese.

In addition to Bao Guoan's magical acting skills, the most amazing thing is the lines in the movie, which are of really high level.

Although Wu Baige sincerely disdains the level of idol drama director Li Yu, he will not draw conclusions after just watching the opening scene.

Mr. Wang knew very well that Feng Xiaogang was a person with too high aspirations.

The lines in "Guandu" have reached a very high level, without losing the ancient charm and allowing the audience to understand them. The lines are a pleasure to listen to.

In this scene, Bao Guoan well performed Cao Cao's domineering attitude of having no regard for the emperor and ignoring the emperor's majesty.

Feng Xiaogang once again commented with Mr. Wang next to him.

As the son of a mining foreman, Li Yu knew from an early age that professional matters should be left to professionals.

After introducing the background of the story, the scene shifted to Xu Tian in Xu County, where the emperor and Cao Cao were hunting with the princes and ministers.

The script was written by Li Yu himself with reference to history, but he asked many senior history professors to help polish and revise the lines.

But after all, a movie lasts more than an hour and a half.

It's such a pity that we couldn't win over Li Yu or reach a long-term partnership with Li Yu.

Li Yu is so young, maybe he doesn't have this ability personally.

The story of Cao Cao shooting a deer to humiliate the emperor in his attempt to proclaim himself emperor is already familiar and does not need to be repeated.

Wu Baige's attitude was very disdainful!

“The lines are written at a very high level, and someone who doesn’t have a deep study of classical Chinese would never be able to write such lines.

Among mainland directors, Zhang Yingmou is probably the only one Feng Xiaogang likes.

In Feng Xiaogang's eyes, except for Zhang Yingmou, there is no one who can fight.

There is only one possibility that Feng Xiaogang can highly appreciate the lines in "Guandu". The lines in "Guandu" are really good.

One of Feng Xiaogang and Mr. Wang was praising, the other was regretting.

Wu Baige, who was not far away from them, was in a more complicated mood!

In terms of lines alone, his "Red Cliff" has been beaten up by "Guandu".

'Study hard now so that you can eat well in the future! '

'Eat more food. The road to Soochow is long and physically demanding. '

'Understand a little! '

This is a line from his movie.

'The Prime Minister's amazing shot is rare in the world! '

"This is a great blessing for the emperor. If I don't have the long-lived precious eagle bow and golden arrows, how can I have the skill of divine archery?" 'This is a line from "Guandu".

Comparing people with others will lead to death, and comparing goods with goods will lead to throwing away.

They are also movies with the theme of the Three Kingdoms.

There was no comparison before, no harm, and Wu Baige didn’t think there was anything wrong with his movie lines.

The audience pointed out that the lines were ridiculous, and he even thought that the audience was nitpicking.

When he saw the lines in "Guandu", no matter how reluctant he was, he had to admit that the lines in "Red Cliff" were far inferior to those in "Guandu".

Wu Baige, who wanted to be strong, muttered in his heart: "This is a historical war blockbuster, filming the Battle of Guandu, one of the most famous war epidemics in history."

The good literary work guarantees the lower limit of this movie, but the upper limit depends on the big war scenes.

Li Yu is a director with a background in idol dramas. Does he understand what war is? Does he know what a blockbuster is? '

As the plot progressed, Wu Baige's newly raised self-confidence was completely shattered.

The following story of "Guandu" tells Wu Baige that Li Yu really understands war and blockbusters.

After Cao Cao and Xu Tian humiliated the emperor and tried to proclaim himself emperor, the emperor was determined to fight back against Cao Cao, and the Belt Edict incident broke out.

This section is fast-paced and full of tension.

Cao Cao showed no mercy when he massacred the ministers involved in the Yidai Zhao incident.

In front of the emperor, he strangled the pregnant Dong Guiren without any mercy, explaining what it means to be a hero in troubled times who would rather betray others than others.

Compared with the Cao Cao in "Guandu", Cao Cao in "Red Cliff" looks like a low-ranking gangster with no trace of the spirit of a hero in troubled times.

Seeing Bao Guoan's god-level performance in every game, Wu Baige felt numb.

how could be?

It is obvious that Zhang Fengyi is the most famous and powerful actor in Mainland China.

He didn't even know the name of the actor who played Cao Cao in "Guandu". He was just a has-been old man. How could his acting skills be so explosive? He actually killed Zhang Fengyi instantly.

Next Liu Bei defected to Yuan Shao.

Yuan Shao took the imperial edict to attack Cao Cao, and the famous Battle of White Horse and Battle of Yanjin broke out.

These two battles are not the main part of the Battle of Guandu, so Li Yu will not give a long space to them.

However, short length does not mean shoddy writing.

Guan Yu, played by Lu Shuming, can be called Guan Yu's original Yu. After the battle, he saw Yan Liang's subordinates, rode his horse and stabbed Yan Liang in the midst of thousands of troops, then beheaded him and returned. All Yuan Shao's generals would not dare to do it.

Li Yu used the official history of the Three Kingdoms for this section.

Guan Yu led the cavalry commando into Yan Liang's central army.

After all, this is a serious historical war blockbuster. It really allows Guan Yu to kill Yan Liang among thousands of troops with a sword and a red rabbit horse. It can easily become the unparalleled Three Kingdoms.

However, even though Li Yu has diluted Guan Yu's aura with the cavalry commando, Lu Shuming's Guan Yu still left a very deep impression on the audience.

In particular, the close-up of Guan Yu's expression glaring at the world a few seconds after killing Yan Liang made the audience feel excited.

This is called the real Three Kingdoms!

This is called real war!
After the Battle of Baima and the Battle of Yanjin, because Yuan Shao's family fortune was so large, the death of Yan Liang and Wen Chou did not have much impact on his overall strength.

Under the pressure of Yuan Shao's large army, Cao Cao, who had few soldiers, gave up defending along the Yellow River and decided to retreat to Guandu, the only way for Yuan Shao to attack Xu County.

45 minutes have passed since the movie, and the Battle of Guandu, the theme of the movie, finally started.

Many viewers and Chinese people have been influenced by "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and are not very familiar with the official history of the Three Kingdoms.

Everyone thought that Cao Cao would be like what everyone remembered, using his elite soldiers to fight head-on, then defeat Yuan Shao's army, and then surprise attack Wuchao, and the battle of Guandu would be won.

The Battle of Guandu filmed by Li Yu overturned everyone's stereotypes.

Cao Cao and Yuan Shao had a decisive battle, and Cao Cao's elite were severely beaten by Yuan Shao.

Yuan Shaojun showed super combat effectiveness and fighting qualities, causing Cao Cao's army to suffer heavy losses in the first battle!
At this point, the real excitement of the Battle of Guandu has just begun.
