This director is very reliable

Chapter 333 They Are All Chinese Filmmakers (34)

A bid is a conversation...

Shen Changlin took the prepared materials and spoke frankly: "The Chinese crew members were killed in the Golden Triangle. The Ministry of Public Security set up a special operation to investigate and destroy the huge transnational drug production and trafficking syndicate with thunderous means... This is the commonly used three-stage Hollywood structure. I have always Thinking about how to shoot the domestic theme? Like American commercial productions? But I don’t think it’s appropriate..."

"Inappropriate?"

"Because the political correctness of the United States is personal, our political correctness is collective, and national... Our commercial giant system should contain the unique national and family feelings of the big eastern countries!"

"…tell me your opinion!"

"The conventional shooting method is a frontal, an undercover, all-in-one cooperation, sea, land and air, 2.5 million investment, a real blockbuster!"

"Like "007" and "Mission: Impossible"?"

"Yes!" Speaking of this, Shen Changlin asked with a smile: "Can you not only show the fighters, but also let the audience feel the national power behind it..."

"...national power?"

"I want to add a narration!"

"... What narration?"

"It's a gag, it's just an online evaluation... Many netizens said before that we only protest and condemn, and dare not send troops, all kinds of mocking 'your country' and the like...The Mekong incident slapped these people with a big mouth!"

"Okay... Then what is "Operation Icebreaker"?"

""Icebreaker"...This is the sequel to "Big Man" that we planned before..."

"You anticipated our actions?"

"That's not it. The first part of "Big Shot" is to fight the rich second generation, the second part is to fight against dealers, and the third part is to fight against spies. This is all planned... It's just that China's first production of D Village is too famous. Last year we Changed the script..."

"...how do you want to shoot?"

"It depends on how big the scale is allowed... Can the umbrella be photographed?"

"...No problem, we will personally check this thing!"

Shen Changlin was full of joy: "Then there is no problem, I promise to make an excellent work!"

"What about the box office?"

"Both of these films are worth 10 billion+...By the way, if Golden Shield Films has an idea, we can also work together. With you here, we can ask you many details during the creation..."

"...Director, who are you going to find?"

"For this kind of large-scale commercial production, Hong Kong director Lin Chaoxian is very suitable!"

"Lin Chaoxian?"

"I will act as the producer and control the situation!"

"Can't you be the director yourself?"

Shen Changlin smiled wryly: "My movie schedule is already full..."

……

Compared with Wu Yusen, Xu Ke and other great directors with their works, Lin Chaoxian's reputation is actually not obvious!

No matter which list you are on, the top ten Hong Kong directors do not have Lin Chaoxian's share!
On the one hand, he made his debut too late. In 97, he directed his film debut "G4 Agent"...

Among Hong Kong directors, Lam Chao-hsien can't be said to be very good. He can only belong to the type of film that has been made but has no amazing films.

Among the numerous Hong Kong directors, Lin Chaoxian's films have no memories...

It's second rate...

But he had a bright moment, "The Informant" and "The Witness" won two gold statue actor...

The police and gangster films shot by Lin Chaoxian during this period did not attract the attention of the hot gun battles, but gained depth by digging into the inner world of the police...

But it’s meaningless. The most popular Hong Kong movies in the 80s attracted attention because of their funny skills and intense action. Without these elements, if Hong Kong movies try to dig deep into the souls of characters like European movies, that’s Lose without a doubt.

Later, it may have been inflated, and the filming of the ambitious "Reverse War" was started, which claimed to invest 2 million yuan, but the final box office was only 1.3 million yuan. billion.

But he doesn't care, after all, this drama is the main investment of Qiankun Starlight - just like "Little Soldiers", Lin Peng also starred in it!

They are fully funded and brought into the group, unlike He Moujuan, who has 2000 million yuan and is only worthy of acting as a vase without lines!

In fact, the battle scenes in "Reverse War" are very good.

The problem is, the logic in this movie is very confusing!
Hong Kong has returned to the motherland long ago, but Lin Chaoxian has no national consciousness in this movie. The protagonist Zhou Jielun lives in BJ, but he has a strange identity of "International Security Bureau". What kind of organization is this?
The wrong character positioning, the empty character setting, and the narrow feelings of Hong Kong movies all make it difficult for "Reverse War" to make big waves.

But this scene allowed Lin Chaoxian to master the shooting method of war + action!
"Operation Mekong", Lin Chaoxian is familiar with it by heart, in fact, the movie is her routine: one is an informant, and the other is a gun battle.

And these two elements, after adding China's national background, immediately revitalized Lin Chaoxian's film, which was already severely visually fatigued and exhausted in content.

In the original time and space, "Operation Mekong" is top-notch in street fighting between police and gangsters, but at the height of the war scene of the decisive battle at the end of the film, it is still raw.

First of all, the time dragged on for too long and the rhythm was not well grasped.The second is the scene scheduling. The director is very familiar with the use of terrain in slums, train stations, and large shopping malls, but it seems a bit monotonous in the jungle tunnel.

And...it may be the first time to shoot this kind of big production, the whole has a feeling that the budget is too big and I don't know how to spend it.

These need improvement!
As for how Shen Changlin hooked up with Lin Chaoxian... This is very simple, just send an invitation directly!

After Lin Chaoxian screwed up "Reverse War", in 2013 he only filmed "Guild Fight" which reflected boxing fighting at a small cost.

Can't get an invitation for a big project!
Changlin Film and Television issued an invitation and naturally took over.

……

"Is it okay to find a Hong Kong director to make this kind of commercial film with the main theme?"

"They're all Chinese filmmakers, Hong Kong directors, that's called the Greater Bay Area!"

Guo Songjiang was a bit apprehensive, but Shen Changlin convinced him with a single sentence: "Besides, the superiors have been persuading me to cooperate with each other... This time, I don't see anyone saying that I am narrow-minded... By the way, I will be the producer of this play, and the leading actor must be from the mainland. actor!"

"Okay... who do you want?"

"Wu Jing+Chen Xiao...you can ask Chen Xiao if you have any ideas to transform into a tough guy..."

"no problem!"

Yang Fan had a different opinion: "Wu Jing is also the male number one in "Icebreaker"...it's not suitable!"

"...Yes, I forgot about this... Then find Wang Qianyuan... Zhang Yi, I don't know Wang Qianyuan well..."

"...OK, I wrote it down!"

The three of them discussed briefly, and the roles were decided.

As for whether they will refuse?
Do you think all the actors are Huang Jiaozhu?He doesn't respond when others ask for cooperation?
Shen Changlin's play, don't rush to get on it!
"In terms of investment... who do you want to cooperate with?"

"...Ask Guangguang, Wanda, yes, and the Emperor..."

Hearing this, Yang Fan hesitated for a moment, and said: "Some time ago, Ari's people approached me and wanted to invest in us strategically!"

"...How much money to invest?"

"36 billion..."

"I don't care, is this a strategic investment, or do you want to acquire it?"

"...No acquisition, just claiming 8% of the shares is enough!"
