Chapter 402 "Battle of Red Cliff"
Chapter 402 "Battle of Red Cliff"...
"The Price of Salt" is "Carol"...
Christine Vachan's Killer Films is famous for producing queer films.
Queer movies, like chick flicks, are a category of cinema.
Queer, the original meaning of queer is weird and weird behavior.
In the 1980s, the raging epidemic of AIDS and the government's ignorance caused people with different gender identities and sexual behaviors to unite with a new identity. They called themselves queer.
In this group, gays and lesbians are no longer the only identities; bisexuals, transgenders, cross-dressers and other sexual minority groups are also included.
Broadly speaking, if the main characters in the movie have queer elements, it is called a queer movie!
In other words, Killer Films thrived on gay movies!
Therefore, they are very jealous of "Brokeback Mountain"...
It happened that Gong Li talked about "Brokeback Mountain" with Kristine Wachen. She relayed what Shen Xudong said, and then Kristine Wachen expressed her agreement...
It just so happened that she had the copyright to "The Price of Salt".
Of course, there are not enough funds...
Original Time and Space waited until Amazon injected capital before starting filming.
this time…
Perhaps they are interested in Gong Li's influence in Asia?
Is Gong Li's influence comparable to Cate Blanchett or Julianne Moore?
——These two often cooperate with Killer Film Company.
Therefore, Shen Xudong directly agreed...
What the hell, he just wrote the script!
Whether the movie can be made, where will the funds come from, and what does it have to do with him?
…
Domestically, it is very popular online...
"The Aviator" competed in Venice, and although it didn't win the Golden Lion, it did win two awards.
Enough to save your respect!
As a result, a bunch of manuscripts such as "sensationalizing Venice" and "igniting the water city" were spread to China...
It is mainly a portal website - because it is simple, reporters on the spot send back manuscripts and pictures, and then they apply the prepared templates and fill in the content to publish...
The accompanying picture shows Shen Xudong holding a black winged lion as the prize.
"It's not surprising at all. Xudong said before that "The Aviator" is here to win awards!"
"Xudong is so awesome. Last year, "Outstanding Citizen" won the Best Actor, and this year, "The Aviator" won the Screenplay Award and the Special Jury Award!"
"According to what someone said above, there will definitely be a golden lion next year, right?"
"It's much better than Zhang Yuan anyway!"
Oh, the main recommendation this year is "Looking Beautiful", jointly produced by China Film and Bayi Film Studio, directed by Zhang Yuan and written by Wang Shuo, and it was officially unveiled at the Chinese Film Centenary Reception...
As a result, I didn’t win the first prize!
On the contrary, the low-budget film written and produced by Shen Xudong won two awards...
Paper media also followed suit with typesetting and printing...
Anyway, in the next five days, "The Aviator" will not worry about exposure!
At this year's Berlin Film Festival, "Peacock" won the Silver Bear, the Grand Jury Prize, and at the Cannes Film Festival, "Blue and Red" won the Jury Prize...
Then, at the Venice Film Festival, "The Aviator" won the Special Jury Prize and the Best Screenplay Award!
What is this called?
Movie boom?
Moreover, the relationship between the directors of "The Aviator" Zhou Shen, Liu Lu and Shen Xudong can be revealed...
Anyway, the entertainment news for the next three days will have content.
…
At the reception, Wu Yusen looked like a senior: "Chinese people have always admired Zhuge Liang when they watched the Battle of Chibi in "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", but in fact they only read unofficial history. In fact, in the official history, Zhou Yu has a tall, mighty and positive image. A very generous person."
"Uh huh huh..."
Oh, he found Shen Xudong and wanted him to write a version of "Red Cliff"...
"The filming of "Red Cliff" in China also hopes to provide a window for mainland Chinese filmmakers to have the opportunity to contact and learn from the processes and experiences of the American film production industry."
"good…"
Shen Xudong nodded seriously while chewing foie gras.
He's not used to eating foreign food, and foie gras is probably the only thing he thinks is good, although it's not as good as fried pork liver...
"There is also a love story in "Red Cliff War". In addition to historical stories, I also hope to intersperse some love stories of small characters, the kind of very romantic scenes..."
"Well, you have a point!"
Shen Xudong didn't look perfunctory at all...
"...Filmmakers from the two sides of the Taiwan Strait and three places work together...we strive to create a world-class epic film!"
"...Well, epic movie..."
Hearing this, Shen Xudong couldn't bear it anymore...
So disgusted...
Working together?
During the promotion of "Mission: Impossible 2" in 2001, Wu Yusen said in front of the camera that he would never make Chinese-language films again, only English-language films!
Later, I couldn't survive anymore, and when I came back to make Chinese-language films, I suppressed mainland actors in various ways. I even pointed at Chen Jiashang and said, "The emergence of "Painted Skin" has led to mainland actors taking over the mainstream of co-production films. It's all your responsibility!"
Others may be qualified to talk about cooperation, but Wu Yusen is really not qualified.
But Shen Xudong won't say it directly. He just wants to cooperate. Whatever Wu Yusen says, he just nods...
But forget about writing the script: "Director Wu, I'm already preparing to make a Three Kingdoms-type movie called "The Legend of Zhao Yun"..."Red Cliff", you'd better hire someone else!"
""The Legend of Zhao Yun"? Is it also a theme of the Three Kingdoms?"
"Yes, the script has been written and the project has been started... It is estimated that it will be released at the end of next year."
Wu Yusen was stunned for a moment, and then asked: "Who is the director?"
"Li Rengang!"
"Li Rengang...can't he?"
"The executive producer is Director Wang Fulin. The script has been decided. The director is mainly responsible for the execution of the scenes..." After a pause, Shen Xudong continued: "Director Wang Fulin is the chief director of the TV series "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms". He has a very good aesthetic!"
"What about...the actors?"
"Liu Dehua plays Zhao Yun..."
"Where are the other actors?"
"Still choosing..."
"I recommend a few to you..."
"No need... Our drama troupe has many actors. The one you recommended is too expensive... and it also has an accent!"
"...What's wrong with the accent? Chinese-language movies are not only released in the mainland..."
"You're right, I'll go over there and have a look..."
Shen Xudong smiled, turned and left...
Well, I finally know the source of Hong Kong and Taiwan stars’ confidence - it’s not just released in mainland China!
It is still determined by the market. Later, if you want to develop in the mainland (make money), you have to learn Mandarin.
…
Shen Xudong thought about the director of "Zhao Yun" for a long time, but still couldn't figure out who was suitable...
I simply found Li Rengang. Of course, I was equipped with professional art and costume directors, and directly packaged the costumes of "Red Cliff"...
Needless to say, "Red Cliff" is the best restoration of the late Han Dynasty among all film and television works to date.
Now she is being packed away by Shen Xudong - anything that can be solved with money is no big deal!
As for whether Li Rengang can act honestly according to the script...
Don't worry about this, Li Rengang messed up "Raptors" and no one asked him to film...
If he is given the opportunity to film "Zhao Yun", he should not dare to bring in private goods.
As for "Red Cliff", even Lu Wei couldn't persuade Wu Yusen, but could Shen Xudong be persuaded?
Let him support his Xiao Qiao. Shen Xudong doesn't want to get involved with...
