Chapter 253 The Wonderful "Red Cliff" (Please subscribe for the second update!)
"Director Tang, will you feel any pressure facing "Red Cliff" this summer?"

"Do you think Director Wu can tell this historical story well?"

"Compared to the all-star cast of "Red Cliff", what advantages does Director Tang think he has?"

After getting off the smoky red carpet, a large group of reporters approached him.

In an instant, all the places in sight were empty, and they crowded around Tang An.

Those starlets who managed to be interviewed once were still full of resentment and resentment.

Facing the rushing reporters, Tang Anna didn't change his expression as the mountain collapsed in front of him, just to be careful of spitting stars, and took two steps back indiscriminately.

"Hi everyone, today I was invited to attend the world premiere of "Red Cliff"." He greeted the reporters with a slight smile.

The reporters took a good position in front of Tang An and asked the question again.

"Actually, I have a lot of pressure every time it is released. I am always afraid that the audience will not like it. This time "You Now You See Me" is a new theme, so of course I am a little nervous." Tang An took it easy. said.

"Is Director Tang worried that the box office is not as good as "Red Cliff"?" The reporter asked immediately.

"Compared with the box office, I hope to get the approval of the audience. What's the use of having a box office but attracting a lot of criticism."

Just talk nonsense!

The reporters slandered endlessly in their hearts.

After talking for a long time, the topic finally came back to "Red Cliff".

"Director Tang, "Red Cliff" is the second Three Kingdoms-themed movie after "Three Kingdoms: Seeing the Dragon Unloading the Armor". The latter drew a lot of criticism for changing the history indiscriminately. Do you think Director Wu Yusen can tell a good historical story? ?”

During this period, Wu Yusen has been questioned quite a lot. A lot of sailors, experts, and various historical research monks took advantage of the loopholes in the trailer and sprayed them vigorously. thousand words.

More importantly, Wu Yusen has always claimed that this movie is adapted from "Three Kingdoms", and abandoned the "myth" about the characters of the Three Kingdoms in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms".

Wu Yusen emphasized that he is in line with history, and it is easier for people to catch loopholes.

If you say that this film is purely fictional, you can still go back. Now that I have sworn that it is in line with history, it is not black.

"I haven't seen the movie yet, and I don't know exactly what it will be like, but Director Wu has spent three or four years on this movie, so I think it should be ready."

"Then, how much box office does Director Tang think "Red Cliff" can get?"

"This will be handed over to the audience. I can only contribute one of my movie tickets." Tang An said with a smile.

After finishing speaking, he ignored the reporter and walked towards Wuhou Temple.

A three-story stage with a height of more than 3 meters and a length of more than 20 meters has been built on the square inside.

The first floor will be used for performances, and the last two floors are mainly used to build the scenery. The first floor is more than 10 meters longer than the second and third floors.

In addition, Tang An also saw that 10 eye-catching big drums were placed on both sides of the highest floor of the stage as the background of the stage.

The whole stage is antique and magnificent.

As soon as he came in, Lin Sheng found him.

"Mr. Tang is here, welcome."

"Brother Lin, long time no see."

"It's all thanks to you, I've been busy running theaters these days." Lin Sheng said with a wry smile.

"Brother Lin said this, what matters will naturally be done by his subordinates."

After exchanging some pleasantries, Lin Sheng glanced around, and said in a low voice, "Recently, Director Han has been annoyed by you and Director Wang. He has a small meeting every day and a big meeting every three days. When you meet him later, you must have a good attitude. point."

"Don't worry, Brother Lin, Director Han won't be angry about such a small matter. The two movies are released together, and they can stimulate each other's box office." Tang An said with a smile.

Lin Sheng smiled wryly, "That's what you said last time when "Super Body" faced "Superman".

He and Tang An have known each other for four years. It is obvious that a young man in his 20s is more experienced in dealing with people than he is.

"How can "Superman" be compared with "Red Cliff", otherwise Director Han would value this film so much."

Then he followed Lin Sheng to meet Han Sanping, as well as several investors of the film, Shudu Media Group, Lion Mountain Film Company of the United States, Japan Benaihui Group, and Chengtian Entertainment.

These are the main investors of the film, in addition to the investment of companies such as Modu Film Group and Forbidden City Films.

The Lion Mountain Film Company was jointly established by Wu Yusen and others, and he also invested in "Red Cliff".

"Hello Director Han, you look good today." Tang An greeted Han Sanping, and then greeted the others.

Before Han Sanping could say anything, Wu Bo said in a nonchalant manner, "Director Tang is here, is he here to spy on the military situation?"

Tang An looked at him in surprise, "Isn't it the invitation letter that Director Wu sent me?"

Whoa, whoa, whoa!
Wu Bo was choked up and had nothing to say.

He was the one who invited Tang An to come, but he wanted Tang An to experience this majestic epic war blockbuster and give him a blow.

"Actually, I also want to see how director Wu's filming of this historical blockbuster is. After all, it's a genre I've never made before, and I'm not good at it, so I can learn from it." Tang An smiled again.

"Director Tang is being modest, I'm afraid there is nothing you are not good at." Han Sanping replied lightly.

"Director Han is overrated. I'm still young, and I have a lot to learn."

As soon as Tang An finished speaking, a Mandarin with a Xiangjiang accent came from behind him.

"This is Director Tang. He really is a young hero. When I was this age, my first movie hadn't been released yet!"

Although he, a big Hollywood director, doesn't think much of Tang An, but at the age of 28, he has to admire him.

"Director Wu is too polite. It is said that you used 17 group actors for this filming. I have never made such a large-scale film, so I need to ask you for some experience!" Tang An said modestly.

"Director Tang was joking, didn't you just shoot a scene with tens of thousands of people?"

"The more than 1 people are sitting in the stands, so they don't need to worry too much. They can't be compared with this kind of war movie." Tang An waved his hand.

The business chats between the two sides are quite harmonious, and there is no expected tension, despise and attack each other.

After chatting for almost half an hour, the premiere officially began.

Tang An also found a chance to chat with Han Sanping for a while. Anyway, it was said that he couldn't make it in time for the summer vacation, and Wang Zhongjun was going to release it in July. He just worked all night for a month to cut the film out.

Although he was noncommittal about Tang An's statement, Han Sanping naturally had nothing to say when his attitude was reached.

As long as he can win this time, Tang An will still be a favorite of the theaters, a top commercial director, and Han Sanping will not take his anger out on him because of Wu Yusen, a loser.

Losers have no rights.

Victory is the truth.

As for losing?

Doesn't exist! Impossible! No way! Certainly not!

The premiere ceremony began, and the audience also entered.

Several major investors spent 1000 million to renovate the square, and there are thousands of seats on site.

On the stage, various armies wearing armor from the late Han Dynasty went into battle in turn, and some military formations were practiced.

There are also songs and dances of the Han Dynasty with Lin Zhiling and Xiao Song Jia as the main actors.

The performance lasted for more than half an hour. The main creators came on stage, and the lineup of hosts was also quite strong. There were six hosts in total from Guangxian, Beijing TV Station, Western Sichuan TV Station, and Movie Channel.

Wu Yusen talked about many things during filming, such as filming complicated war scenes and frequent accidents in action scenes.

During the filming, it happened to encounter a continuous month of torrential rain, which washed away the outdoor set, resulting in budget overruns and overdue shooting, which caused the insurance company to intervene in the shooting.

This time "Red Cliff" Wu Yusen also implemented the Hollywood insurance mechanism, that is to say, if you buy insurance, the insurance company will pay for the overtime, overspending, and accidental expenses at the agreed time.

Paul Walker died during the filming of "Fast and Furious 7", and the additional costs caused by it were also borne by the insurance company.

However, the insurance company also has the right to shoot in the middle of the filming when it is about to face risks. For example, if the weather is bad and it is raining heavily, you will not be allowed to take a partial shot, but the location falls down and hurts someone. They are not responsible.

It was more than half an hour before the movie officially started.

The opening scene is above the court hall, the close-up and long-range views are switched back and forth, a large number of troops are lined up outside, and Cao Cao is preparing to conquer Sun Quan in the south.

Before the Lord came, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty was restless. At this time, a bird flew outside the door and stopped in front of Emperor Xian.

Fortunately, it was not the first time Tang An watched it, otherwise he would have shouted like the bewildered audience behind, "Damn it, shouldn't it belong to the pigeon."

Baige has been changed to bird, and Wu Baige may have to change his nickname.

Emperor Xian whistled at the bird, and stretched out his hand to let the bird fly to his hand.

This is playing with birds.

Then Cao Cao came, walking all the way from the outside, with a large group of soldiers kneeling behind him.

Cao's wife during his lifetime, and Emperor Wu of Wei after his death.

As soon as Cao Cao entered the court, the bird flew away in surprise.

Cao Cao wanted to conquer Sun Quan, and Emperor Xian said that he had just conquered Karasuma, and the soldiers should take a break.

As a result, before he could finish speaking, Cao Cao interrupted him roughly.

There is a lot of chatter, I am so frightened to fight from east to west, and tens of thousands of soldiers fight from south to north, in order to restore my great Han world.

In the middle of this sentence, the bird suddenly chirped twice, interrupting Cao Cao's words.

"If not, in today's world, I don't know how many people are called orphans and how many people are called kings!"

Cao Cao said this out loud, and the bird flew away with a loud cry.

Only the bird was a bit funny in this boring beginning, and a full 6 minutes have passed.

The first few minutes are the best time to catch the audience's attention, even a war scene is better than this, there is no bright spot.

However, because of his great director's name, the audience will continue to watch it.

Kong Rong came out to hate Cao Cao and was killed to sacrifice the flag.

Cao Cao led the army to set off. In several small-scale war scenes, he did not explain the location, the participating parties, and did not even see a flag of the opponent.

If Zhao Yun, played by Hu Jun, hadn't appeared, who knows who he was fighting with.

Then there was the battle of Changbanpo, and Zhao Yun rescued Adou by riding alone.

Although Hu Jun can't be said to be very handsome, at least he is more suitable than Nie Yuan and Lin Genxin.

There is no record of appearance in "Three Kingdoms", but it is mentioned in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms".

With thick eyebrows and big eyes, a broad face and a heavy mouth, his appearance is dignified, majestic, and extremely majestic.

Yi means cheek and chin.

Judging from these descriptions, Hu Jun can be regarded as conforming to the appearance.

But in people's eyes, Zhao Yun is a big boss, no matter whether you are in line with history or not.

A historical film is not about whether it conforms to history, but most importantly, it conforms to the impression of most audiences.

The dignified and handsome Zhao Zilong has turned into the wild Qiao Feng, who can agree?

Zhao Yun was fighting fiercely there, and the army over there had already killed Zhang Fei who was behind him.

What followed was a very dramatic scene. Faced with the charge of Cao Jun's cavalry, Zhang Fei remained motionless, and did not order the sword and shield soldiers in the front row to turn their shields over until the opponent was about to approach.

"Fuck!"

Tang An could vaguely hear a shout from the audience. The back of the shield was made of copper, and the golden light blinded people.

The sun just shone on the rows of shields, and the golden light was dazzling. Cao Jun who charged all stumbled and fell to the front of the formation.

Gold shield, defense power +10086!

There are too many nonsense plots, which neither conform to history nor people's impressions.

Guan Yu was captured alive by Cao Cao, and then released again.

Everyone's lines lack momentum, and the war scenes are not as good as the TV series "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", even worse than "Three Kingdoms: Seeing the Dragon Unloading the Armor".

Gan Xing came out from behind, because his soldiers robbed an old man's cow, and he knelt down to the old man.

Kneeling for the sake of kneeling is too far-fetched, deliberately raising his image.

Including Zhuge Liang and Zhou Yu at the scene, their acting skills were not as good as that of the cow, at least it would suddenly back away in fright when the group of soldiers knelt down.

Next, Zhou Yu, Zhuge Liang, and Xiao Qiao delivered a horse.

Zhuge Liang was almost pulled out by pulling the pony back.

I can't watch it, I can't watch it anymore, Zhou Yu's head is constantly shaking when he is playing the piano, it is the kind of rhythm that is very fast and frequent, and his head stretches back and forth.

Like the head of some kind of shelled creature.

This is Mi Shuro!
In the middle of the performance, a tortoise really appeared, could it be the one with a wandering mind?

And the gossip formation at the back is really speechless.

A large group of cavalry just rushed into the formation along the road vacated by the opponent, without attacking.

Brother, those are cavalrymen. In the movie, they are cavalrymen who can charge forward. Wouldn’t it be suicide to walk into the dense army formation by yourself?
Lost in speed and maneuverability, it becomes a live target right away.

At the beginning, it is better to go straight in one direction than to die.

The later battle scenes in the gossip formation were even more insane. At first, Guan Yu KO'd a large group of Cao's troops, and then Zhao Yun faced hundreds of Cao's troops alone.

Finally, there is a scene in which the enemy on horseback is entangled with a rope and pulled down by a slipknot.

Tang An almost snorted, the man holding the horse was mighty and majestic.

Wu Yusen played too many new tricks. The shield array surrounded by Cao Jun could resist even the high-speed charge of war horses, but was knocked away by the Sun Liu Lianjun with something like an iron chain.

A dozen or so people grabbed both ends and pulled back hard enough to knock down the shield wall.

Then Zhou Yu charged in the formation with his horse, and blocked Zhao Yun's arrow in less than two seconds.

Pulling out the arrow on his shoulder, Zhou Yu jumped up and made a 360-degree turn towards Cao Jun's grand prize who was charging towards him on horseback, and directly stuck the arrow in the opponent's neck.

That's not to mention, after killing the opponent's general, he killed several soldiers in a row, took Cao Jun's flag empty-handed, and faced the siege of hundreds of soldiers with ease.

Zhou Yu was beating life and death there, and there were always five or six Cao Jun around him, and five or six of them died and then five or six.

The Sun Liu Lianjun and Cao Jun who were fighting around seemed to be playing house, pacing and beating each other's weapons lightly with small steps.

This kind of war scene is not considered qualified for TV dramas. I really don't know how it was filmed.

In the end, Cao Cao watched his soldiers playing football, and Tong Dawei showed off his football skills to his heart's content.

Zhou Yu set a fire on the sand table and burned all the warships. The flames shot up into the sky, and eight characters appeared inside.

"Battle of Chibi, next time we break it down!"

After co-authoring and watching for more than 140 minutes, Wu Baige, did you tell the audience that this is the title?
Two in one big chapter!
