Entertainment tycoon since 83

Chapter 374 Finishing

"If you want to listen, I'll tell you. Actually, I can't fully describe his mentality. There are three directions here."

"First, dying at the hands of Japanese and traitors is heroic. Even though one dies, his name will be recorded in history. What is there to fear? But if someone wants to defeat him later, he will be dead. Even if he dies, he will be criticized. Otherwise, why do so many people who are not afraid of death in battle commit suicide in the end?"

"Secondly, he guessed that he might not die. After all, he and Cheng Dieyi are quite famous. There are also people in Japan who love Peking Opera. Moreover, the crime he committed was not serious. Just like what Duan Xiaolou said to Cheng Dieyi in the script, I am the fake Overlord, and you are the real Concubine Yu. In fact, he does not have the spirit of an Overlord."

"Third, things are not static, and people will change after all."

"When he faced the Japanese, he was in his twenties or thirties, full of youthful energy."

"What about when you get criticized later? You're in your fifties or sixties. The older you are, the less courageous you become."

"Also, in the script, there is an event that is quite shocking to Duan Xiaolou."

"Master Yuan Si was killed?" Zhang Fengyi had obviously analyzed the script thoroughly and answered it immediately.

"Yes." Huang Ze nodded.

"In the lines of the play, Master Yuan Si is always the master no matter which dynasty or generation he is in."

"The Beiyang regime was in chaos, the Japanese came and left, but Fourth Master Yuan was always the master, powerful and influential."

"But later, he died. He was shot after a public trial!"

"After this incident, he should have known that the world had changed!"

"I'm afraid of death, but I can't tell!"

"So, this play is actually about a fake Overlord and two real Concubines Yu. Duan Xiaolou and Juxian are both real Concubines Yu!"

Huang Ze sighed and paused for a few seconds before asking, "Any more questions?"

"That's all." Zhang Fengyi nodded with a smile, "You're busy."

"Ok!"

……

"Farewell My Concubine" was filmed one location at a time, but because it was basically shot in Beijing, in order to allow the actors to better empathize and have more real emotions, in general, Huang Ze still shot it according to the order of the script.

time flies.

Soon came to the back.

Duan Xiaolou knelt down, not only his knees but also his heart.

"He worked for Yuan Shiqing as..."

Cheng Dieyi raised his head, his eyes were full of emptiness, and then he looked like a madman, "Even you, the King of Chu, knelt down and begged for mercy, how can this Peking Opera not die?"

After Cheng Dieyi revealed that Juxian was a prostitute, Duan Xiaolou said "I don't love her" and drew a clear line between us, completely sending the other Yu Ji to her death.

In this scene, Zhang Guorong also performed very well!

If we can save one shot, the filming of this scene will be completed.

"Are you getting into the role?" Huang Ze walked up to Zhang Guorong and asked with a smile.

"It's not over yet." Zhang Guorong still had a look of grief. After a while, he sighed with emotion, "This play is really good, but the actors are under pressure to act!"

"Stories like this make me feel a little sad for Cheng Dieyi."

"Don't be sad. In another week, our drama will be finished. I suggest you go around and visit this and that attraction after the filming is finished to relax."

The filming started on September 20th and lasted for more than two months. On December 10th, the film was finally completed with the quick work of Huang Ze.

"Finished!"

Huang Ze shouted and waved his hand to greet everyone, "Let's have a dinner tonight! Just consider it as an early celebration!"

After saying this, Huang Ze breathed a sigh of relief.

Ok.

After the dinner, Huang Ze handed the editing task to someone else, asking him to do what he had agreed with him before, and he immediately flew to Los Angeles.

There's nothing I can do, since Huang Ze is a man who always does what he says.

I promised my fans before that I would release a new song before the end of this year, and I would direct it myself, so of course I have to do it!

However, considering that he hadn't released a song for a while and that he didn't need to be cautious, plus the director had to be creative in directing the MV and not let others think he was fooling around, Huang Ze took some liberties in choosing the song.

It has directly allowed a song to span more than twenty years, nearly thirty years, to reach this era.

The song "Blinding Light" by Bonsai that ranked first on the overall chart.

Huang Ze likes that kind of sexiness.

Of course, it’s not really a big leap forward. After all, it’s originally a retro style, it’s just a different kind of RB.

"Mr. Huang!" As soon as he got off the plane, Huang Ze saw the tall man wearing sunglasses. He glanced in Huang Ze's direction and walked towards him.

Huang Ze moved his eyes down and placed them on Wang Jiawei's legs.

Well, there are indeed no sequelae.

I remember the last time I saw her, I always felt something was wrong, but this time I didn't feel that way at all.

Nodding secretly, Huang Ze stretched out his hand and walked over, "I asked you to be the assistant director of the MV, don't you feel wronged?"

"That depends on who the director is." Wang Jiawei took off his sunglasses.

"If it were someone else, they would definitely feel wronged, but it's you, I'm just honored."

"Haha, we've been friends for so many years, why are you still being so polite?" Huang Ze punched Wang Jiawei on the shoulder, "Which film festival are you going to participate in for Chungking Express?"

"I want to try to go to Cannes," Wang Jiawei said. "My style is more suitable there."

"Speaking of style, I think the only people in the world who can capture that feeling and style well are you and me!"

"Oh? What style is that?"

"I've already painted it while I was filming Farewell My Concubine. Let's go, the hotel said!"

When they arrived at the hotel, Huang Ze didn't waste any time and directly took out the storyboard script and started talking to Wang Jiawei.

“I want to give people a feeling of intoxication.”

"It was like when you were drunk and there were so many lights and women, and the scene in front of you seemed to be frozen."

“Prosperity, happiness, extravagance, and a little bit of darkness.”

"The basic tones are black, red and green!"

“Is this a style you can photograph well?”

"I can try." Wang Jiawei smiled implicitly, "But it feels very challenging."

"Go ahead and try. You have twenty days. It's just a music video. Go find a location first. I'll record the song first and then we can shoot."

"it is good!"

"By the way, Director Huang, who do you choose for the female role in this music video? Caucasian or yellow?"

"Of course it's a white person." After all, if you want to make some money, it's best to neutralize it and have a white face appear in it.

The first person that appeared in Huang Ze’s mind was Niu Benshan.

But if you think about it, Niu Benshan seems to have become a lot richer after becoming famous.

Moreover, it is not quite appropriate to ask the other party to play a small actor without any lines in the MV, as it is not a duet song.

"Hey, find an agency here and ask them to hire someone. They must be white, pretty, tall, and young. Select ten resumes and let me pick one."
