Chapter 1173 Tactful Reminder

"Swordsman"... is different from "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" and also different from Xu Ke's martial arts. Its temperament is very close to the early Hong Kong martial arts movies...

The atmosphere of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" is great, and the whole story is just one word: depressing!

Therefore, I find it unpleasant to watch and too bland. Let’s not talk about the martial arts scenes, such as the pool, the bamboo forest, and the flying wall. Compared with other martial arts movies, there is no obvious advantage...

When I was young, I really didn’t like this movie. Now when I watch it again, the whole movie is like a handicraft that has been slowly polished by artists. The picture, composition, and tone are like a landscape painting, unobtrusive, and at the same time very life-like. change;

The emotional expression is relatively subtle, very delicate, and very measured, and it can stand up to chewing.

An absolute classic.

The editing and action design of Xu Ke's martial arts are clean and neat, and they criticize the current ills, including thinking about family and country.

"Jian Yu Jiang Hu" is different. The characters in it, that is, the killers, each have their own livelihood. Some work as civil servants, some open oil shops, some make noodles, and some do magic tricks. In addition to doing tasks, everyone has his own life. , like a group of hobby enthusiasts association, which is very interesting...

There’s nothing wrong with the novel—there’s nothing wrong with the secret hidden behind Rama’s body.

It’s not a blockbuster in itself!

However, the actors were not chosen well. Michelle Yeoh and Zheng Yusheng did not have any sense of CP. Moreover, they were advertised according to the blockbusters, and the effect was not good. In addition, the movies of the same period were too strong...

Naturally, the box office performance was not good!

…

Shen Xudong talked about "The Drunken Man" with Gao Jun again, hoping that he would have new ideas...

After all, the story of "The Drunken Man" is too cliche. Without adding new things, it will be difficult to satisfy the current audience.

After discussing for a while, nothing was gained, so Shen Xudong led Chen Hao to see Zhang Yimou...

"You want to film martial arts?"

Shen Xudong nodded: "Yes, I have this idea!"

Chen Hao hesitated for a moment, then said: "Martial arts movies are difficult to make... there are too many classics, and if you don't make them to your liking, it will be difficult to attract large-scale movie viewing!"

"I know," Shen Xudong nodded: "But every man has a martial arts dream... I have to give myself an explanation."

"Martial arts dream?"

"That's right... When you were a child, didn't you imagine that you were a martial arts hero, sweeping across the world with a sword, and being invincible in the world?"

"When I was little, I fantasized about being a princess..."

"…you win!"

Shen Xudong stopped continuing the topic and walked to Zhang Yimou, who was chatting with Xu Ke.

Share the topics that each other is preparing.

The filming of A Mou's "Su Dongpo" has been completed. The opening film of the Berlin Film Festival - was not shortlisted for the main competition unit...

He is preparing for "The Waves of Water" and has decided on the starring cast of Yu Hewei, Zhang Guoli and Zhang Jiayi.

Xu Ke's three "Shu Mountain" films have been filmed - the last two films were filmed together. Shen Xudong didn't know what new plans he had, so he stood aside and eavesdropped.

Well, it’s a pirate movie, and it’s a female pirate…

"Shi Yang, Queen of the Sea".

It tells the legendary life of Shi Yang, the first female pirate in the Qing Dynasty. She transformed from a prostitute to a female pirate. After the death of her husband Zheng Yi, she married another famous pirate Zhang Baozai. She encountered many strange encounters in the story. It is full of story

The story of Cheung Po Tsai has always been in film and television works. Cheung Cheh led the Cheung Family Group to create a movie "The Pirates", Ti Lung played Cheung Po Tsai, and Xu Ke cast Yi Tianxiong in "Once Upon a Time in the City of Dragons" Cheung Po Tsai…

Regarding Wang Shiyang’s story, there is indeed no relevant film and television...

Shen Xudong was quite surprised. Didn't he say he wanted to film "Famen Temple"?

It's like this. After filming two "Di Renjie" films, Xu Ke was very interested in the Tang Dynasty, especially when viewed in conjunction with "Journey to the West"...

Isn’t the Demon Kingdom just like Shituoling?

Therefore, there are illusions, powerful magic, witchcraft, ghost markets, and all kinds of inexplicable strange powers and gods in "Four Heavenly Kings".

Buddhism can fight, people can take a monkey's hand, all kinds of strange poisonous insects and poisonous weeds...

There are all kinds of strange powers and chaos!

The story of "Famen Temple" is very simple: Duan Chengshi is looking for the "divine palace", gets involved in the world of warlocks, and then resolves a human catastrophe...

The concept drawings are almost ready - the story begins when Emperor Xianzong of the Tang Dynasty ordered the opening of the pagoda in Famen Temple enshrining the finger bone relic of Sakyamuni Buddha, and brought the relic to Chang'an for enshrinement.

Before the pagoda was opened, a series of incredible things happened in the pagoda of Famen Temple. Gandharva, the goddess of music from the Eight Parts of the Dragon, appeared on the top of the pagoda, and all the monks in the temple were poisoned and fell into coma...

A work that suits Xu Ke's heart very well.

Why didn't you do it?

Therefore, Shen Xudong asked directly: "Aren't you going to make "Famen Temple"?"

Hearing this, Xu Ke shook his head: "I won't do it!"

"Why?"

"...the script is immature..."

"…ah?"

"The logic is never clear..."

"...Okay, what about "Female Pirate"?" Shen Xudong naturally chatted about Xu Ke's new project...

"PPTV encouraged me to shoot..."

Pirate scenes... are difficult to shoot, have many special effects and are expensive, making it difficult to recover the cost. Therefore, the success of "Pirates of the Caribbean" did not set off the trend of pirate themes...

Back then, Hollywood was not dominated by fools!

Xu Ke's "Female Pirates"...the title of the film just doesn't make sense...

"Who should I choose to be the heroine?"

"Find someone over thirty years old..." Xu Ke saw Chen Hao and immediately asked: "Does Chen Hao have any schedule?"

Before Chen Hao could speak, Shen Xudong helped answer: "She didn't. We will get married and have children next year..."

"...Forget it, I'll choose slowly!"

"In such a big drama, the heroine is very important. We have to find someone with temperament..." Shen Xudong looked at Zhang Yimou: "Does Director Zhang have any suitable recommendations?"

Zhang Yimou thought about it carefully, then shook his head: "No... I originally wanted to recommend Gong Li, but she is too old..."

…

Shen Xudong continued to find people to chat with. For him, the celebration banquet was just a place to chat...

Chen Sicheng was very excited.

Although the reputation of "Tang Detective 3" is not as good as that of the previous two films, it is still a hugely successful work.

At first, the public was resistant to him taking over "Tang Detective". After all, he had a great reputation, and "BJ Love Story" had a lot of fluff - the screenwriter's signature and the like...

Therefore, Chen Sicheng is guilty of original sin in the eyes of many viewers.

But... it did not affect the huge success of "Tang Detective 3".

Moreover, Shen Xudong promised that he would be the chief director and producer of the follow-up to "Tang Detective"...

We even got 30% of the investment rights!

However, what he is talking about with Shen Xudong now is not "Tang Detective", but a TV series called "Great Expectations"...

In the 1920s, Hong Sanyuan came to Shanghai to pursue his great future, and met a group of ambitious young people who wanted to change the turbulent and unfair status quo of the old era. They planned the country's great future together for the sake of the change of the nation and its destiny...

"Great Expectations?"

"Well, I want to star in..."

Shen Xudong hesitated for a moment and then advised him: "You... don't be the leading actor for the time being..."

Chen Sicheng was stunned for a moment, and then asked: "Why?"

"...You can look at the public's opinion of you on the Internet..."

"Knife in hand, kill Chen Gou?"

"…you know?"
