China Entertainment: Been working as a director since 03

Chapter 268: If you don’t change your original intention, you have to let Qin Hui recite ancient poems, right?

The version of "Man Jiang Hong" more than ten years later was extremely frustrating.

But objectively speaking, Yue Fei's story is inherently frustrating.

Not to mention Yue Fei, the entire history of the Song Dynasty is frustrating. People with low blood pressure will easily become high blood pressure after reading it.

The first 95% of Li Yu's version of "Man Jiang Hong" is also very frustrating.

But Li Yu will not make the audience hypertensive throughout the whole process, which is not in line with his usual style.

Although 95% of the content of this version of "Man Jiang Hong" strictly follows historical data, Li Yu positioned the film as an imaginary history for the sake of the last 5% of the content.

In the last 5% of the plot, he will start to take on the role of magic reform, and he will help the audience vent their anger.

Didn't the version of "Man Jiang Hong" more than ten years later like to play with the real and fake Qin Hui?
Then he also comes with a real and fake Qin Hui.

After Yue Fei's death, the real Qin Hui was kidnapped by Yue Fei's army, who slashed him with 3,600 knives. After that, the still-living Qin Hui was cast into a bronze statue alive and made to kneel in front of Yue Fei's tomb forever.

As a result, Emperor Qin Hui was holding him back, which was really frustrating.

Da Tiantian was really annoyed by Qin Hui in the script.

Rather than this, the people who changed the name to Yue Jiajun used knives to force Qin Hui to recite Man Jianghong's ancient poem in front of the soldiers. "

This kind of overhead magic modification will definitely make the audience happy.

Isn't this guy a traitor?

Da Tiantian and Cheng Long had similar views. She slapped the table with some annoyance: "It has to be done like this. That traitor must be given 3,600 knives.

Not to mention 3,600 knives, giving him 7,200 knives is not too much.

Fortunately, you let Qin Hui suffer 3,600 knives and still cast him alive into a bronze figure. I can only say that you did a great job. "

Cheng Long experienced the audience's feelings in advance. When he read the script, he felt that the subsequent magical changes were extremely exciting.

Zhang Yingmou sighed and said with admiration: "Director Li, the quality of your script is very high.

Qin Hui's death was extremely tragic, leaving him with eternal infamy and being despised by people for thousands of years.

But this character’s name is Qin Hui, so that’s okay.

"Director Li, no joke, your script is really amazing.

However, I personally think that the plot of killing the real Qin Hui and replacing the real Qin Hui with the fake Qin Hui will lower the style of the movie.

"..."

As frustrating as the previous plot is, it will be so exciting later on.

Li Yu looked as confused as an old man on the subway using his cell phone.

Yue Fei served his country with all his loyalty, and wanted to conquer the lost territory in the Northern Expedition and save the people who were bullied by the Jin cavalry.

If it were another person who received this treatment, Cheng Long might ask Li Yu if he needed to change it or if it would be bloody and violent.

If any guy doesn't get this script approved, I'm going home to my dad. "

Finally, there are scenes of people from the Song, Yuan, Ming, Qing and modern times slapping the bronze statue of Qin Hui and pouting at Qin Hui with phlegm on his face.

He really cried to death.

Zhang Yingmou has never changed his original intention!

He helped Zhang Yingmou get back on track, but Zhang Yingmou still wanted to change back.

Da Tiantian and Cheng Long were equally confused.

Are you serious?

The knife was placed on Qin Hui's neck. Instead of cutting him, he was just asked to recite ancient poems? What a magical brain circuit this is.

Li Yu found it funny: "Letting Qin Hui recite Man Jiang Hong is to highlight Yue Fei's spiritual charm, expose Qin Hui's hypocrisy and cowardice, and make Qin Hui repent for the crimes he committed, right?"

Zhang Yingmou was slightly excited: "Director Li, you actually thought of me together. That's what I thought."

Li Yu laughed out loud: "Director Zhang, believe it or not, if you shoot like this, the audience will clamor to cast a bronze statue of you so that you can stay with Qin Hui."

"..."

Zhang Yingmou's expression was complicated and embarrassing. Li Yu continued: "Aren't the first 95% of my script not enough to reflect Yue Fei's spirit and integrity?
Couldn't it be possible to expose Qin Hui's hypocrisy and cowardice in the process of three thousand six hundred cuts?
Make Qin Hui regret the crimes he committed? It's extremely funny.

According to this argument, should we not shoot the traitors, but let them recite the last words of the innocent people they killed, so that they can live and repent?
They are all considered traitors, do you believe they feel guilty? I don’t believe it anyway. "

Li Yu directly rejected Zhang Yingmou's ridiculous proposal.

Zhang Yingmou himself was unable to answer Li Yu's continuous questions.

Li Yu sincerely advised: "Director Zhang, as a director, just do your job seriously.

As a director, your level is among the best in the industry.

But, wouldn’t it be better to leave the scripts that you are not good at to professionals?

The screenwriting industry is a very deep one, and not every director is capable of doing it both ways.

With all due respect, if you insist on constantly embedding your personal thoughts in the movie.

In order to achieve this goal, the script was changed.

Then movies like "Three Guns" and "The Golden Jacket" that make your reputation collapse will continue to appear. "

Li Yu's words are very direct.

What he said was all the truth, it was up to Zhang Yingmou whether he would listen or not.

Li Yu dared to talk to Zhang Yingmou like this not because he was arrogant, but because he had the capital.

When it comes to the career of directing alone, Li Yu cannot keep up with Zhang Yingmou.

But Li Yu has two identities: screenwriter and capital at the same time.

What Zhang Yingmou discussed with him just now was about plot settings. Li Yu, a screenwriter with an excellent reputation, is definitely qualified to criticize Zhang Yingmou's funny suggestions.

Also, Li Yu is capital.

If the film is to be filmed, Hualiu Company and Datiantian's Starlight Company will definitely not be low in investment.

From this perspective, director Zhang Yingmou is actually a worker.

As a professional screenwriter and financier, it is reasonable for Li Yu to deny Zhang Yingmou, an amateur screenwriter.

Zhang Yingmou's idea was rejected by Li Yu, and he himself was not angry.

Because Li Yu brought them here today just to discuss the script.

It is normal for arguments to arise during discussions.

When he was the chief director of the Olympic Games, the Olympic team was quarreling every day, and the final product was very gratifying.

What really made him a little depressed was Li Yu's strength.

Many excellent directors have a strong desire for control. They hope that they can have the final say in their own movies and never allow others to dictate.

Including in Hollywood, real big-name directors also have the right to edit. Not only do they have the final say on filming, but they also have the final say on editing.

Zhang Yingmou is such a person.

Li Yu is actually such a person.

Li Yu's strength made Zhang Yingmou a little depressed.

He couldn't deny that Li Yu's script was a good script.

But when working with Li Yu, as a director, he would be shackled, lose his freedom, and be unable to express his thoughts as he wished, which made him very uncomfortable.

What Li Yu wants to do is to put shackles on Zhang Yingmou, not letting him perform blindly, only letting him do a good job as a director, and not letting him interfere in other tasks other than directing.

As long as someone is holding him down, Chen Kaige can film "Farewell My Concubine".

No one was pressuring him. He was able to make "Murderous Case Caused by a Steamed Bun" and still feel good about himself afterwards, thinking that it was other people's problems and that others didn't understand his art.

In the case of Zhang Yingmou, the situation is similar.

Li Yu may not be able to keep up with his work as a director at the moment, and even ten Zhang Yingmo can't compare to him in terms of screenwriting.

In order for the box office of this movie to exceed 10 billion to compete with the domestic box office of "Avatar", Zhang Yingmou must be restricted and not allowed to mess around.
