Coquettish Rebirth

To be honest, Jiang Wen was not easy to grasp at all!Comparing Jiang Wen to Li An, Li An is simply a good baby, while Jiang Wen is almost like a mental patient!Didn't Jiang Wen cooperate well with Jia Hongjian before? Why did Jia Hongjian say that Jiang Wen was mentally ill?Because Jiang Wenna's ruling power is too strong, a "drama tyrant" who has been able to make famous directors cry in history, isn't he strong enough to rule?

That is to say, if Jia Hongjian gave Jiang Wen and Li An the book or ideas, then for Li An, Jia Hongjian is confident that he can control the overall direction!He could use all kinds of words and pressure to force Ang Lee to make the movie in the direction Jia Hongjian wanted!As for Jiang Wen, if he did this, the two of them would definitely lose their faces!Either he, Jia Hongjian, let go completely, or he simply let go of Jiang Wen. Anyway, there is no third way!If Jia Hongjian completely lets go, then in the end this movie will definitely be marked with Jiang Wen's strong imprint. It can be said that it will be digested and transformed into Jiang Wen's own story at once, and then this movie will have nothing to do with Jia Hongjian. relation!Maybe the final shot is completely different from what Jia Hongjian wanted!

This is not a metaphor!Because of such a creative idea, it’s okay to shoot both forward and backward. If Jiang Wen himself feels that Jia Hongjian’s storytelling is not enough for his own style and does not conform to his aesthetics, then he gradually develops it. As a result, the whole story was changed beyond recognition—maybe people think Jia Hongjian’s idea of ​​putting a glamorous story outside is not fun enough, and they want to put the bloody story on the surface. ?Maybe people are secretive.Just don't say that the protagonist is Tang Seng?That's right!On the surface, what he photographed makes people feel that it is not Journey to the West!The filming makes people feel like a story of an ancient psychotic murderer who kills all the way, or even a story of a policeman tracking such a murderer, and then turned around, and found that the last murderer was Tang Seng!Can this work?Of course it's okay, but can such a story enter the Oscars?hanging!

So, although Jiang Wen could shoot this matter, Jia Hongjian didn't feel at ease handing it over to him. If it turned out to be the opposite, wouldn't it be a waste of his good idea?But if you don't look for Li An or Jiang Wen, who else can you look for?Looking for Zhang Yimou?I guess it's a bit hanging?Jia Hongjian's film is going to hit the Oscars, so why not aim at being nominated?The light shot by Yimou must be very beautiful.But what about the plot?At that time, the overall cast will definitely be very strong.It must be an absolute acting school, so Zhang Yimou can calm down these actors, but can the actors be stimulated to play the most powerful acting ability?Sometimes it takes the actors to push their limits to surpass their previous acting skills!

So are you looking for Wong Kar Wai?Hiss... Although Wang Jiawei is a fellow of Jia Hongjian, even though his family only came to Hong Kong in the 60s.But if you really want to say it.This buddy basically has no box office guarantee!The filming of the previous "Evil and West Poison" was called delaying time.At the end of the day, I had to ask my partner Liu Zhenwei to come out with the same cast and the same cast to make a completely different movie "East and West" to relieve the pressure from investors!

Don't talk about "Evil, West Poison", just talk about the later "The Great Master", isn't it said that it took 8 years to prepare and 3 years to shoot?It's been 11 years back and forth!Wong Kar Wai's habitual overspending is not a problem.But Jia Hongjian couldn't stand the habitual delay in filming. Don't look back and said that the filming would be finished in 01, but it turned out to be 11 years!Is this still a joke?Moreover, the films made by Wong Kar Wai have always been pure literary films, he never thought that ordinary audiences could understand them!His films are all aimed at winning awards at film festivals, so he doesn't even care about the box office!

So if you calculate it like this, there is really no suitable director in mainland China, Hong Kong and Taiwan!Could it be that they can only find Li An?But Ang Lee still has a movie like "Hidden Dragon and Crouching Tiger" on hand now!Let him finish filming "Hidden Dragon and Crouching Tiger" and then "Tang Xuanzang's Magical Journey"?This is too rushed!Even if we finish such a film in 3 months, is this considered fast?Originally, "Hidden Dragon and Crouching Tiger" still had to shoot the scenes in the desert, and also the bamboo forest scene on Ji'an's side. How long would it take just to run around and shoot?Not to mention there are editing and so on, even if there are no special effects and only wire shooting, it is short enough!After the filming of this one is over, let's count it as the end of the first quarter of 2000, and then we will start preparing "Tang Xuanzang's Magical Journey"?It will take us at least half a year just to prepare for all kinds of locations?

Although there are very few exterior scenes in "The Fantasy Journey of Boy Pi" in history, most of the scenes are completed by special effects, so how much money is it?As for Journey to the West, most of them can just find the scenery that exists, and it is definitely faster to find the scenery that exists in real scene than to do post-production special effects. If the scenery is all made of special effects, let alone two years of post-production device, at least one year?

After half a year of preparation, it will be the second half of 2000, and then the filming will start, even if it takes three months to complete, can such a magical masterpiece be without post-production?After the post-production is finished, it will be almost 2002!Maybe the original "Youth Pie" has already been sold!So in this way, basically even if the rhythm is very tight, it is very likely that it will be too late!

So... why not let Ang Lee delay the filming of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon"?Put "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" behind "Tang Xuanzang's Magical Journey"?No way!Xu Ligong begged his grandpa to sue his grandma everywhere to find investment, isn't it because the contracts here are all signed, and the stars have all the time available?If you turn around and delay it, you will definitely lose money!Unless it is said that Jia Hongjian has a lot of money, he will use the money to compensate Zhou Runfa and Yang Ziqiong!

And it’s not enough to just lose money—because it’s impossible for them to follow Jia Hongjian’s steps completely. Now they have paid liquidated damages, and when Jia Hongjian wants to make "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" again, they will Maybe a series of schedules have been fixed, and the two of them won't be able to get together!And if you ask people to vacate the schedule in advance, you will definitely have to pay for it!Then, is it really appropriate to pay so much money at once?Paying so much money or changing to another director to shoot... Which one is more suitable?

That's right, if you really do something, even if you are a reborn person, even if you have a great idea, you will encounter various problems in reality.Even if you know that you will make a lot of money if you implement this idea, there will still be various small troubles and various small conflicts!Otherwise, how can it be difficult to accomplish one thing?Jia Hongjian fell into deep thought as he thought about it. At the end of the thought, the water became cold, so he had to crawl out to dry himself off and rolled onto the bed to think about it. Then, after thinking about it, he fell asleep.

When Jia Hongjian woke up, it was already the next day.After meeting with Li An and the others, we chatted for a while. Obviously, whether it is Xu Ligong or Li An, they both recognize and get closer to Jia Hongjian. Everyone is from the Greater China circle. It's for sure!Here, Jia Hongjian quickly signed the investment agreement, and then everyone officially began to cooperate.

Li An watched Jia Hongjian sign the contract, and reported to Jia Hongjian his general process design very seriously-when and what to do.His seriousness, Jia Hongjian understood, was a responsible mentality of southerners.For the northerners, if Jia Hongjian generously gave the money, the northerners might not explain it in such detail, which is an attitude of "you don't ink and I don't ink", but when the other party does something, then I will definitely try my best to follow the angle that satisfies Jia Hongjian.As for the southerners, they are more detailed, because they feel that Jia Hongjian is loyal enough, so they speak in more detail, so that Jia Hongjian understands their plan every step of the way, and let Jia Hongjian know that what they do is Really do it, not fool people, and do things quite well planned, they are responsible for Jia Hongjian's investment money and feelings!

After Li An explained in detail, before Jia Hongjian could speak, he saw Xu Ligong patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Jia, Li An is trustworthy, and I will help you." You stare! You are giving us face this time, I will definitely not waste your money, don't worry, I will personally be the producer, and I will definitely make every cent of your investment money spent wisely!" Hiss, this makes people feel a little bit embarrassed How could Jia Hongjian bear the heart of an old man whose brain congestion hadn't healed yet and whose hands and feet were still a bit unsteady as the producer.He immediately advised the old man to let it go, even if he felt sorry and didn't go to the right-hand man, otherwise Jia Hongjian would feel that he disrespected the old and loved the young!

At the end, the old man had no choice but to agree to what Jia Hongjian said.After seeing that everyone was fine, when Xu Ligong invited Jia Hongjian to play more in Dawan, Jia Hongjian couldn't help talking to Li An The idea of ​​"Tang Xuanzang's Magic Journey"!That's right, no matter how difficult this matter is, he still needs to discuss it with Li An to see Li An's reaction and how his abilities are!

And when he mentioned this idea, Li An was stunned!Li An, this buddy plus Xu Ligong, never thought that Journey to the West could be adapted like this, and such a magical ending could be produced!One story within another story, it feels like a literary film! (To be continued..)
