Chapter 571 I'm Not Interested in "Red Cliff"

Why do so many secretaries keep toothbrushes in the office...

It really works!

Ahem...

After washing his face and gargling his mouth, Zhang Xi picked up his bag and followed Shen Xudong: "Where are you going?"

"Go see Director Han..."

Zhang Xi suddenly thought of something: "...because of "Red Cliff"?"

"...Yes, it's just because of "Red Cliff", you know that?"

"...I have read the information."

Yes, after all, he is Shen Xudong's assistant, so he must know the trends in the industry!

Changing roles on the spot in "Red Cliff" is a big deal!

The first announced lineup: Zhou Runfa played Zhou Yu, Liang Chaowei played Zhuge Liang, and then... Zhou Runfa was fired by Zhang Jiazhen!

It is said that Zhou Runfa not only asked the crew to pay all the remuneration at once before filming started, but also made nearly a hundred demands that completely violated industry regulations.

Thinking about it, you know that the request must be unreasonable. Wu Yusen and Zhang Jiazhen were the people who worked hard with him and made him famous!

Zhang Jiazhen is really Chow Run-fat's talent - from 1991 to 1992, he organized the "Chow Run-fat Film Retrospective" in Chicago, New York, Boston and London, England, screening six or seven films starring him, introducing him to foreign audiences and Film critics know.

Later, he was introduced to the William Morris Agency, one of the largest agencies in Hollywood. He also held a party in Beverly Hills for Chow Run-fat and invited many producers, screenwriters, directors and agents to get to know him.

After getting in the car, Zhang Xi asked: "Why does Brother Fa make so many demands?"

Shen Xudong said casually: "...Maybe his wife's demands are too high!"

"...Luxury toilet car?"

"right!"

The luxurious toilet car is what the crew of "The Golden Jacket" accused Zhou Yunfa of!

The 500,000 yuan luxury car is only used as a toilet - this is the request of Zhou Runfa's wife.

Zhang Weiping couldn't stand this - is your shit so valuable?

Zhang Xi was silent for a while: "Then he does this and doesn't worry about his own future?"

"He is already over 60 years old, how can he still have a future? Besides, he has two drama contracts in "Dragon Ball" and "Children of Yellowstone"..." At this point, Shen Xudong suddenly wanted to test his assistant, so he asked: "Let's not talk about this anymore. Hey, do you think this is a hype?"

Zhang Xi shook his head: "Probably not!"

"Why?"

"For a team as big as "Red Cliff" and with such a big investment, there is no need to hype up such a big thing as changing roles on the spot!"

"Haha...it makes sense!"

Netizens have different opinions on Zhou Runfa's resignation from "Red Cliff". Some support Zhou Runfa, while others support Wu Yusen...

More people think it is hype.

It’s understandable, after all, hype is rampant at this stage!

No matter what the thing is, it has to be fried.

Therefore, viewers often see topics like "The Boy Who Cried Wolf" appear frequently, which has become the norm.

Subconsciously I feel like it’s hype!

"Red Cliff" doesn't need this kind of hype.

Just before filming starts, the male lead will be replaced?

This isn’t called hype, it’s called scandal!

…

Regarding "Red Cliff", China Film made reference to Tianmei Media's investment in "Zhao Zilong" - the basic policy is to jointly invest and divide it by region. The film companies in each region are responsible for local promotion and subsequent profits.

Isn’t this Zhou Runfa’s resignation?

In Liang Chaowei's place, several investors doubted Liang Chaowei's appeal...

Bi Zhou Runfa is an international superstar, but Liang Chaowei can only be regarded as a Chinese superstar!

Shen Xudong comforted him: "...the theme of the Three Kingdoms, as long as it is not too outrageous, the probability of being a hit is quite high..."

"Now Zhou Runfa has resigned!"

"In the sequel to "Zhao Zilong", we all dare to change people. It's normal to change people in "Red Cliff"..."

Han Shanping frowned: "...but I heard that you are not optimistic about Wu Yusen?"

Shen Xudong admitted: "I don't think I'm optimistic about it, but I never doubted that "Red Cliff" would be a hit."

"So sure?"

"The theme of the Three Kingdoms is very popular... The size of "Red Cliff" cannot be small... I am very optimistic about its market performance!"

"...Then you invest?"

Shen Xudong thought for a while and shook his head: "I also want to make the "Three Kingdoms" series, and suddenly investing in "Red Cliff" is outrageous..."

"...Didn't you say it would definitely sell well?"

Shen Xudong shook his head and explained: "The "Three Kingdoms" series I want to make revolves around famous generals and ministers... There are already several project leaders, and I don't want to be related to Wu Yusen... How about I introduce you to an investor? ?”

"Is it that Shaanxi coal boss?"

"...Do you also know Boss Chen?"

"He came to see me a few times. I thought he was too good at exploiting..."

"...People are very passionate about movies!"

Director Han glanced at Shen Xudong: "...Okay, then you ask him to go to China Film and Television to find me tomorrow."

When the topic stopped, Director Han suddenly thought of something: "You don't think highly of Wu Yusen? Why?"

"...Have you read the script of "Red Cliff"?" Before Director Han could speak, Shen Xudong continued: "...Wu Yusen was born in Jianghu movies, and his mode of thinking is accustomed to Jianghu. The story of the Three Kingdoms is definitely not borrowed by a group of Jianghu people. The world interprets chivalrous grievances...but the script of "Red Cliff" gave me this feeling!"

In "Red Cliff", the hero turns into a gangster boss, the counselor turns into a chivalrous knight, and the fierce general turns into a reckless man. As a result, the intrigues and heroic deeds disappear.

Then what?

Due to the existence of the original work, there is absolutely nothing wrong with the overall structure and direction of the story. Coupled with the large investment, there are many big scenes, and it also has an epic effect, but it does not match the characters.

The two emotions are increasingly amplified under the influence of exquisite pictures, giving people a nondescript feeling.

This is also the reason why people don’t like "Red Cliff"...

In addition, the character Xiao Qiao messes up the main plot - sleeping with Zhou Yu and drinking tea with Cao Cao!

Especially in the lower part, the film is completely finished. The expense line is understandable, but it would be too much to interfere with the main plot. Xiao Qiao drank tea with Cao Cao. What did he think? Zhou Yu was so angry that he glowed green. What a beautiful social butterfly, Zhou Yu takes his wife as his wife, he is truly a governor!

It is said that...Wu Yusen felt that Huang Gai's bitter meat scheme was too stupid and that Cao Cao could not fall into the trap, so he deleted the bitter meat scheme part...

It's understandable that he would delete it. After all, he has no culture, but what kind of brain circuit makes him think that the plan of killing someone is stupider than having a woman come to the barracks to drink tea with him?

Shen Xudong continued: "I really don't understand why when he finally let Cao Cao go, Zhou Yu suddenly said melancholy and artistically: We all lost... Where did we lose?"

Han Shanping helped explain: "...he wanted to express peace..."

"Peace? Let Cao Cao go and there will be peace... Are those dead soldiers human lives? I feel like he doesn't understand "Three Kingdoms" at all. What he filmed was not "Red Cliff", but "The Bloody Battle at Causeway Bay"..."

By the way, he also added: "He also tricked Chen Hao into playing the role of Sun Shangxiang and carrying the sedan chair for the newlyweds!"

"...what's the matter of carrying a sedan chair? This is called the sincere cooperation of actors from the two sides of the Taiwan Strait and three places for a Chinese-language masterpiece."
