Chapter 714 New Series?

"Chu-Han struggle for hegemony?"

Shen Xudong was a little curious: "Why did Mr. Ren think of doing this subject?"

"...I met a friend a few days ago. He liked the story of 'Hongmen Banquet' very much and wanted to invest some money for me to produce it..." Speaking of this, Ren Zhonglun praised: "If you want to say that China is the best at making historical films, It must be Tianmei Company...so, I thought of doing it with you..."

"Just a Hongmen Banquet?"

"...I knew I would never watch a movie, so I thought of the Chu-Han War series!"

Another series?

It's not impossible. Up to five more main stories of the Three Kingdoms series will be filmed. For the rest, some personal main stories may be filmed, such as "Sun Shiwan", "Sima Yi" and so on...

The film market will always need historical costume dramas!

As long as the quality is high enough, cost recovery is not a big problem.

Therefore, Shen Xudong nodded, and then smiled bitterly: "There are indeed a lot of stories about the Chu-Han War, and they are indeed worthy of filming, but I am afraid that the series has been planned and the actors and directors will run away halfway through filming..."

"Let them sign a collective contract with Yingying and Tianmei this time... I don't believe they dare!"

"In addition to Jiahe and the Emperor..."

"The Emperor?"

Shen Xudong explained: "Boss Yang and I have already agreed to make a series..."

Fang Yimin on the side suddenly said: "You want to film the Chu-Han War for Hegemony. There is a problem. Liu Bang is the winner, but he is an old gangster..."

Shen Xudong was surprised: "Liu Bang is an old gangster? Who said that?"

"...Many people say that, saying that he is a rogue emperor..."

Shen Xudong was speechless: "Machiavelli's "The Prince" makes it very clear that the criterion for judging an emperor should not be his personal morality!

Look at the people gathered around him. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is diverse. From Zhang Liang, who was born in the aristocracy of the "Fifth Generation of Prime Ministers", to Zhou Bo, who slaughtered Fan Kuai with a dog and played dirges on the flute. Wang Ling's mother committed suicide, just asking him to follow Liu Bang attentively and not let him be distracted.

Ji Xin died generously in order to save Liu Bang.

Even Lu Pheasant concentrated on running the family after marrying Liu Bang. He rebelled, but Lu Pheasant still supported him. "

"Is he a gangster? He got married at the age of 38, started an army at the age of 48, and destroyed Qin at the age of 50. He unified the world at the age of 54, and from 55 to 59 years old, he personally led the troops to put down many rebellions among the princes. It can be said that he continued to fight for the rest of his life. Moreover, Most of them were recruited by themselves.”

"What about Xiang Yu?"

"Xiang Yu is a typical aristocrat and refined egoist. Han Xin complained about him: Xiang Yu is a hypocrite. He is very polite when meeting, respectful and kind, and speaks nicely. When someone is sick, he will give you two bites of food while crying. , as good as your real father... When you deserve a reward for your meritorious service, he holds the official seal in his hand and refuses to stamp it for you, as if giving it to an official would kill him... After all the good things, he won't do the bullshit. .”

"The heroes of Liangshan also talk about rewards based on merit, dividing gold according to scales, drinking from big bowls, and eating large pieces of meat. When we get to Xiang Yu, do we expect everyone to generate electricity for love?"

"Sima Qian tried to portray Xiang Yu as an invincible, tragic superhero who committed "crime other than war", but I saw this man's hypocrisy, arrogance, stinginess, double standards, short-sightedness, cruelty and selfishness...I understand why "noble spirit is It’s a lie”! The earliest record of massacre in the history of our country may be Xiang Yu’s…”

"That's Bai Qi!"

"Bai Qi's name is killing and surrendering. Tucheng is the killing of unarmed common people. Of course he also learned the killing and surrender. Tucheng was his own invention! The earliest executor of the Sanguang policy in China!"

"Liu Bang went out to attack Xiang Yu, and the princes of the world responded. Xiang Yu became an orphan. Liu Bang, who had joined forces to fight, betrayed him, and his most capable general Ying Bu betrayed him. The common people hated him, the nobles and princes attacked him, and his comrades betrayed him. !”

"Xiang Yu is a typical second-generation official and second-generation rich man. They are easily moved by their own efforts but ignore the desires of others."

"If I were to film the Chu-Han War, Liu Bang would definitely be the core character, and Xiang Yu would be the villain!"

"but…"

"No buts, nothing else. If you go back through time, you can only follow Liu Bang. With your current status, Liu Bang, the group of princes at the end of Qin Dynasty, will look at you seriously, just like only Liu Bei and Cao Cao will look at you seriously at the end of Han Dynasty. Seeing that you are the same, Yuan Shaozhi will ignore you!"

"Liu Bang was rated by the teacher as the most powerful among the feudal emperors!"

"Then why does everyone say Xiang Yu is so awesome?"

"Because everyone first thinks Liu Bang is a villain, then Xiang Yu, who is opposite him, must be a hero. Based on the principle that the enemy of the enemy is a friend, in the hearts of literati and directors, Xiang Yu has become the embodiment of a hero, tall, brave, cherished Love is all about magnanimity. And for the sake of box office and ratings, generally those who play Xiang Yu are handsome guys!"

Ren Zhonglun interjected: "Who do you want to find to play Xiang Yu?"

Shen Xudong said casually without thinking, "Jin Chengwu or Wu Yanzu!"

Ren Zhonglun was stunned for a moment: "I saw what you said... I thought you would find someone with a vicious face to play Xiang Yu..."

Shen Xudong was speechless: "I just think so. The filming of film and television dramas is different from my personal thoughts. After all, it is a commercial blockbuster. Xiang Yu is a young hero in the eyes of the public. In other words, he is handsome, has a good figure, and is extremely powerful. Unparalleled! If you don’t find a handsome guy to star in such an image, do you want to lose money?"

"... Then Liu Bang, who do you want to find?"

"This... I haven't thought of a suitable candidate yet, let's talk about it..."

"Yes, yes, this is the celebration banquet of "Jingjue Ancient City"!"

…

Director Chen has played Liu Bang. To be honest, his performance was not as good as Lu Liangwei in "The Song of the Wind" or Zhang Fengyi in "The Overlord of Western Chu"...

In fact, Lu Liangwei's acting skills are not bad. He played Xiang Yu in "The Overlord of Western Chu" and Liu Bang in "The Song of the Wind", both of which were quite good.

By the way, "The Overlord of Western Chu" is a good movie, Gong Li plays Empress Lu.

Shen Xudong is only that interested in the subject of "Chu-Han Struggle"...

Not as much as his interest in Tang Chuanqi.

But Shanghai Film Academy proposed it, and if the funds are available, let’s do it.

Make a film first to test the waters. If the market response is okay, then continue filming.

This topic is just mentioned. After all, this is the celebration party for "The Ancient City". In addition to the box office, everyone is definitely more concerned about the follow-up series.

"The configuration of "Longling Labyrinth" will not be weaker than that of Jingjue Ancient City, and the level of excitement will not be any worse... To be honest, I am more worried about the follow-up Yunnan Worm Valley..."

"Why do you say that?"

""Longling Labyrinth" is mainly about exploration, there is no treasure hunting part, and it is about showing the mechanism skills. "Yunnan Worm Valley" is different. It has a bunch of monsters and a very scary atmosphere. If it were presented according to the original work, I'm worried that someone will interfere with it..."

Most of the people present understood the meaning of Shen Xudong's words...

There are really a lot of people reporting "Jingjue Ancient City"...
