Zhang Weiping regretted it!
He shouldn't have listened to Zhang Yimou and Jiang Zhiqiang and invited Sun Hao here.
Zhang Yimou: Even in Hollywood, Sun Hao's screenwriting skills are superb. It's good to invite him here to hear his views on the script of "Hero".
Well, at least we can check for gaps!
Jiang Zhiqiang: In Hollywood, Sun Hao has a great reputation. Not only people in the industry think so, but even ordinary movie fans admit that the name [Sun Hao] is now a box office guarantee!
If Sun Hao is invited to come over and let him be named as the producer of the movie "Hero", then we will have a box office in the North American film market.
Shit, it's all **** bullshit!
Because Sun Hao just sat down on the chair, he immediately lost the rhythm. It has been an hour, and "Hero" has never been mentioned, um..., including Zhang Yimou.
But, fortunately, just when Zhang Weiping felt that his small universe was about to explode violently, Sun Hao laughed and said:
"Director, I've bothered you for so long, why don't we talk about the movie "Hero"?"
"okay!"
Zhang Yimou was a little embarrassed. He originally invited Sun Hao to come here to talk about serious matters, but before the conversation started, the topic went off the rails.
As the director of "Heroes", it really shouldn't be possible to rely on Sun Hao to pull the theme back.
"Cough cough cough..."
Coughing to cover up his embarrassment, Zhang Yimou winked at Li Feng not far away.
"Teacher Li Feng, please tell everyone about the script of "Hero" first."
"yes!"
Li Feng, the first screenwriter of the crew, didn't say much. He agreed and stood up from his seat.
"Hello director, hello teachers!
As we all know, many martial arts blockbusters in China in the past all focused on desperate battles for power and position.
And our martial arts movie called "Heroes" interprets the concept of new martial arts in form and meaning.
In the late Warring States period, Qin Wang Yingzheng launched a crusade against all countries in order to dominate the world..."
...
The time was short, about half an hour, and Li Feng told the story concisely.
They didn't look at Li Lianjie, nor Liang Chaowei, Maggie Cheung, and Zeng Li. When Li Feng sat down again, Zhang Yimou, Jiang Zhiqiang, and Zhang Weiping all turned their attention to Sun Hao.
The meaning is very clear, tell me, what do you think of "Hero"?
Facing the gazes of several people, Sun Hao was speechless.
My buddy is just a tool guy who comes to pick up his girlfriend, okay? !
Let's not wait for this!
After waiting for two minutes, Sun Hao not only did not intend to speak, but also turned his head to the door, admiring the long legs of the waitress at the door of the conference room.
Ever since, Zhang Yimou laughed.
"Haoko, tell me!
Tell me about your most honest thoughts on this screenplay? "
"Didn't I chat with you through Zeng Li?"
"It's a chat, but we have also revised it according to your opinion, and this is the sixth draft after we revised it." Zhang Yimou got up and offered to pour a cup of tea for Sun Hao.
This made Sun Hao a little flattered, senior, didn't you just want me to chat? In front of so many big-name actors, how can you stop here?
"Um…"
After thinking about it, Sun Hao spoke.
"It is true that there are not many dialogues in the script of the film, because Chinese culture emphasizes enlightenment, not talking too much, but understanding.
What's more, when a film is shot, it will be supported by the screen, and many things need not be said, and the audience can understand it.
Wuming is an assassin who met King Qin because he killed the three assassins that King Qin was most worried about. He came to tell King Qin the story of how he killed the three assassins.
The first is Changkong. There should be no obvious colors in the place of the duel, but it should be accompanied by harpsichords and rain. After all, there is etiquette among warriors, and these imply the confidant feelings between them.
Colorless and skilled, this is the first layer of connotation of a movie script!
Then, the core of the film begins, Wuming tells **** Can Jian and Feixue, a pair of knights.
According to the script, the location takes place in the Red Zhao Guozi Museum.
Calligraphy, the representative of Chinese culture, says that calligraphy and the artistic conception of the sword are interlinked, just like the Qin and Se and swordsmanship mentioned earlier, Chinese culture itself cares about the interlinkage of thoughts, and all things are unified, and this interlinkage Rely on enlightenment.
..."
Fuck!
When watching the talk, Jiang Wen admired it.
It's not about admiring Sun Hao's tact, but admiring his flattering skills. Such a flattering with culture and connotation, let alone Zhang Yimou, one of the screenwriters.
Even I can't bear it!
Eh…
The person who sighed was Maggie Cheung.
I originally thought that Er Dongsheng and Wang Jiawei were well-educated directors in the industry, but now it seems that there is still a certain gap between them and Sun Hao.
Let's just talk about the associative ability of a film director, Sun Hao is absolutely top-notch. In the script, there are only fifteen short paragraphs, and what he says is full of artistic conception.
Ha ha…
The one who wanted to laugh was Zhang Weiping.
It seems that the gamble of 30 million US dollars was the right one this time. Now, even Sun Hao, a well-known Hollywood director, has seen a lot of content from this last draft of the movie script.
tsk tsk~
Shoot, shoot now!
Also, didn't Zeng Li say that she wanted to play Kisaragi, so what's the big deal for her? !
But unlike them, Zhang Yimou, who had a smile on his face at the beginning, became darker and darker as Sun Hao's words deepened.
In the end, the old comrade couldn't hold back his smile anymore, so he knocked on the table with his hand.
"Dangdangdang..."
"Haozi, I know the advantages of this movie script, but can you talk about the disadvantages?
That's where you can't see it. "
"No, everything is fine!"
Sun Hao spread his hands and shrugged.
"When filming "Yellow Earth", I was the photographer of Director Kaige, and our relationship has been very good until now.
I heard that the movie "The Promise" he is currently preparing lacks a heroine, or else, I would recommend Zeng Li to her~www.mtlnovel.com~ Anyway, "Hero" will be picked up after filming? "
"Hey, forget it. Director Kaige has very high requirements for actors' acting skills, and Zeng Li may not meet his requirements." Sun Hao directly refused the good offer for her without going to see Zeng Li.
"Hmm..." Zhang Yimou hesitated, turned to look at Zhang Weiping beside him, and then said:
"Although I still don't know what will be filmed after "Hero", I can tell you very straightforwardly that Zeng Li must be one of the heroines."
If it is said that Chen Kaige's "The Promise" did not move Zeng Li too much, because Sun Hao, who had read the script long ago, complained more than once, and couldn't understand what he wrote at all?
But now, Zhang Yimou's promise made Zeng Li very happy.
"Raise the Red Lantern", "Ju Dou", "Red Sorghum", "Qiu Ju's Lawsuit"... Every film the director has shot can be recorded in the annals of history, let alone being rated as a national film by Mr. Chang. The only movie "To Live" that can be compared with "Farewell My Concubine".
Sun Hao didn't want to say anything that offended people, because there was no need to pretend to be this X!
Hello, hello, hello everyone, how wonderful is this picture of joy and harmony? !
But seeing Zeng Li's pitiful eyes, Sun Hao, who had always been ashamed of her in his heart, softened at this moment.
"Cough cough cough..."
Coughing twice, clearing his throat, Sun Hao continued: "Director, if I were an ordinary movie audience in China, I would think... um, how should I put it.
The structure is chaotic, the designed pictures are all fake, and the plot is very nonsensical.
All in all, I don't know what Zhang Yimou is doing with these stars, taking photos or practicing dance? If you have something to say, talk about it, why is the wind blowing the sky full of sand and silk flying all over the sky..."
