Chapter 271 Media Reports (24)

Of course Cao Cao is popular...

But everyone already knows about this person’s life.

Cao Cao was the most terrifying warlord during the Three Kingdoms period. He killed people and massacred cities without leaving any river water behind, but he could also write poems of compassion and mercy. He also had rare tenderness for his wife and children, and he also had a strong interest in other people's wives and daughters...

Living in the most troubled times, risking your life on the battlefield all year round, you can still read every night without letting go...

He has a complex human nature that reflects all kinds of brilliance like a gem. He is already legendary without any extra drama.

This is also the problem. Shen Xudong scratched his head: "Cao Cao's life is difficult to capture in one movie..."

"Zhao Yun?"

"...I looked at the popularity rankings of characters from the Three Kingdoms in Korea and Japan, and Zhao Yun is at the top!"

"That's it..."

"One more thing, I heard that Andy Lau has always wanted to play Zhao Yun..."

Han Shanping's eyes lit up: "...Liu Dehua?"

"right…"

Shen Xudong didn't lie. The project "See the Dragon Removes Armor" was born precisely because Andy Lau wanted to play Zhao Yun!

Some people say that "Seeing the Dragon Removes Its Armor" is actually not bad. It is a relatively freehand and romantic story. The Three Kingdoms is just a stage set up by the movie. When watching the movie, we must put aside the plot, costumes and history...

Don’t think like that, think like this: The Three Kingdoms, the most popular subject, the biggest room for adaptation, the best actors, the most funds, what kind of thing was produced - how did a mediocre fat man become a genius step by step? A story about transcending and enduring the pain of being framed.

Moreover, according to what you said, we can’t talk about the plot, the history, and the costumes, so it’s not just about excellence!

The key is to sit back and pat Zhao Yun, but also to put aside history?

Do you know Zhao Zilong’s status among the people?

Director Chen was filming "Lu Bu and Diao Chan", and in the ending he forced Zhao Yun, who had nothing to do with the plot, to fight Lu Bu in the Baimen Tower. Zhao Yun's status among the people was so exaggerated!

Even if we put aside history and novels, we must put them aside, because this work is neither historical nor novel. Director Li Rengang's formation of troops is still acceptable, but once the two armies exchange fire, it is still a "martial arts" approach, and there is no You can see how superb the technique is;

The real advantages of this movie are that the actors are outstanding and the soundtrack is outstanding, but this has nothing to do with the director...

Therefore, Shen Xudong is still confident in writing a script that surpasses "The Dragon Takes Off Its Armor"!

Of course, we still need to discuss it with someone on how to write it specifically...

Han Shanping remembered something: "I heard director Tian Zhuangzhuang talk about "The Aviator". Do you have your own ideas?"

"Hmm... I want to be more romantic, Director Tian is more focused on satire..."

"He said that your idea is very complete...there is a kind of poetic romance...you can be the director yourself!"

Shen Xudong nodded: "I don't deny it, but... I think it's too wasteful for me to spend a year on a movie..."

Then Shen Xudong changed the subject: "Director Han, is "The Promise" confirmed to be released next year?"

"Well, Director Chen has finished filming!"

"Great!" Shen Xudong nodded happily: "I'm looking forward to "The Promise" so much!"

"How to say?"

“When I saw Farewell My Concubine, I was astonished. I felt that Director Chen could go down in history with this film;

Later, I watched "One Knife" and was amazed at the screenwriter's level of lines and plots. Only a great person could write... "The Promise". The two of them collaborated together, so I am particularly looking forward to "The Promise"! "

"...Haha, I'm looking forward to it too!"

…

Han Shanping has always advocated blockbuster projects.

"Concentrating outstanding Chinese-speaking or mainland, Hong Kong, and Taiwanese filmmakers to produce large-scale commercial films or large-scale art films for sale and distribution around the world is the first direction of our production industry, and we are making this effort... "

These are his exact words!

Therefore, in those years, China Film successively released "The Promise", "Tou Mingzhuang", "Assembly", "Red Cliff"...

This idea actually has nothing to do with the movie...

But Shen Xudong doesn't have to worry about that, he is just a screenwriter.

Whatever work your leader prefers, just do it!

Where do so many personal expressions come from?

If you want to express yourself, you can write a book!

…

Some media and reporters who came after hearing the news gathered at the door of the hotel...

How should I put it? China National Theater did not deliberately hide the news of Jackie Chan's arrival, and it hinted that Jackie Chan was interested in the works in the China National Opera Sketch Competition and wanted to adapt them into movies and star in them...

The powerful media made various insinuations and then found out that this matter involved Shen Xudong. It seemed that someone sent Jackie Chan a movie script written by Shen Xudong. Jackie Chan was very interested and wanted to make an appointment with Shen Xudong to talk, but Shen Xudong wanted to participate in the sketch. Contest, and the content of the sketch contest is movie excerpts...

Therefore, Jackie Chan and Tang Jili put aside the filming of "The Shocking Legend" and came here to enjoy the sketch...

This sketch is called "Glory of the Tang Dynasty"...

The name sounds like a big movie!

However, the specific circumstances still require interviews with the parties involved.

"Shen Xudong is very powerful. It's Feng Xiaogang and Chen Daoming, and now he has a relationship with Jackie Chan?"

"I heard he wrote several scripts for Gong Li!"

"Gong Li? Really?"

"It seems like this... Feng Xiaogang is going to film "A World Without Thieves", and Gong Li is chosen as the heroine. It seems that he recommended it!"

Several reporters squatted and chatted...

When one of the reporters heard this, he suddenly thought of something: "...when Gong Li came to BJ a few months ago?"

"…Yes!"

"...didn't it say that she had a fight with a certain man in the hotel for five days and five nights during that time?" At this point, he guessed: "Could it be Shen Xudong?"

"It's impossible. I heard them say that Shen Xudong has been staying at school this year. Don't think about it. How old is Shen Xudong..."

"Too…"

What a pity, you already guessed the correct answer!

"Besides, he is a screenwriter, why should he talk to Gong Li..."

"Okay, I thought too much..."

While they were chatting, the door opened and Shen Xudong came out first...

Several people hurriedly gathered around, and Shen Xudong stopped and accepted the interview honestly:

"I... rush back to school... our dormitory door is locked at 11 o'clock..."

"Yes, Jackie Chan is interested in "Glory of the Tang Dynasty". The director, Jackie Chan said that he will contact Mr. Sammo Hung to direct. In addition, they will star together..."

"The plot...about the Anxi Army of the Tang Dynasty, the Anxi Army that had been isolated outside the Great Wall for more than 40 years...a very tragic history..."

"I don't know the specific start-up time. If nothing else happens, Jackie Chan will start "Glory of the Tang Dynasty" after finishing filming "The Legend"..."

"Me? I'm going to join a TV series next, called "The Ultimate Servant". The script was written by four people in our dormitory. I'm the producer..."

Hearing this answer, a group of people were a little confused: "You still want to make a TV series now?"

"Times have changed. The main functions of TV series and movies are entertainment. There is no need to distinguish between superior and inferior..."
