China entertainment that year eighteen

Chapter 237
In this endless night, neon and darkness are intertwined, and the picture stops you and me. At this moment, Lu Heng's cells are extremely vivid.

In my mind, I suddenly thought of the song by Qi Wei and Yuan Chengjie: I don’t know what you are thinking, it’s still that place and that street~~
Lu Heng turned his head suddenly, it was really that street, and it wasn't too far from that small courtyard.

So, Lu Heng said softly: "Why don't you go to that hut?"

"Hmm~"

In a certain hut, a certain familiar and unfamiliar piano, the mottled old windows, and the old-fashioned fabric sofa, Lu Heng sweated and Sister Hong also gained a lot.

This former place is like the last sentence of Tengger's song~
After resting for a while, Sister Hong said softly: "Old Chen has always wanted to make a big production like Hollywood, "Jing Ke Assassinates the King of Qin" before, and "Lu Bu and Diao Chan" which was pushed by Lao Fan, but he was disappointed. Yes, there was a lot of scolding in the end, which made him very angry."

"Before he heard Mr. Han say that you made a big production, which is also the type of Three Kingdoms, and he came to see it. After watching it, I feel that he is quite inspired. He is also planning to make another one, and even the investment is not cheap. , but he doesn’t want to make a historical genre anymore, but wants to create an original theme with a mythological structure.”

Lu Heng smiled and said, "Journey to the West? Or the list of gods?"

Chen Hong shook his head: "Probably not at all. He wanted to be original, so he found a screenwriter from Xiangjiang, saying that their screenwriters had more ideas, and many of their ideas were imaginative. Many of Ni Kuang's novels are full of imagination, similar to martial arts. It's a different type."

Of course Lu Heng knew which one he was talking about. After thinking about it, he really had nothing to praise, so he nodded and said, "Then wish him success."

Chen Hong suddenly said: "If he wants to ask you to play the leading role, would you be willing?"

Lu Heng: "..."

I really appreciate you.

But immediately, Lu Heng seemed to think of something, and looked at her in surprise: "You... are here today to be a lobbyist?"

Chen Hong immediately understood what Lu Heng meant, and gave him a sideways glance: "What do you think of me?"

Lu Heng smiled and said, "Well, I'm thinking too much."

"You men are all like this. You always feel that women are looking for you for something, why can't it be feelings?" Chen Hong said speechlessly.

"That's not necessarily the case, just like you must be looking for me." Lu Heng said firmly.

Chen Hong frowned, her first thought was that she was uncomfortable, but she was also curious, and couldn't help asking, "What?"

Lu Heng didn't speak, but glanced in front of him.

Chen Hong followed his eyes and said in embarrassment, "You're just a bad guy, you'll make fun of me!"

Lu Heng squeezed her fist that was about to hit her: "You just say whether to draw or not?"

Chen Hong looked away, raised her snow neck and snorted, "That's because you have feelings in front of you. You can't just show it to me as soon as you meet. Before that, I don't know what's going on with you."

Lu Heng laughed so loudly that Chen Hong couldn't help but angrily said, "I don't want to talk to you anymore!"

Lu Heng hugged her: "Then don't speak, actions are always more convincing than words!"

Chen Hong immediately exclaimed: "No way!"

"Woman, you can't say no!" Lu Heng turned over and drove, one by one, and started a new round of journey.

After resting again, Lu Heng said to her:

"Now I can't finish my own filming, and I can't get this thing done, and I want to go abroad immediately, so I use this film as the cornerstone, and I hope it can be done."

Chen Hong looked at his handsome side face, and the soft eyes showed not only calmness, but also waves, which made her feel that she was sinking deeper and deeper, and became more fascinated.

"Then I wish you all your wishes come true." Sister Hong said softly, resting her head on Lu Heng's shoulder.

"Thank you, Miss Hong."

……

The next day, Lu Heng didn't go to the set, but discussed the music with Sanbao and the others!
As one of the few film and television music masters in China, people like him and Zhang Yadong have a deep knowledge of film and television music.

Not only that, Sanbao also invited Tan Dun and Zhao Jiping to check it out in the name of Han Ping's relationship, which would be even better.

The effect produced was indeed very powerful, and Lu Heng was satisfied after listening to it only once, and then listened to Han Ping and the producers, and they all agreed.

However, they also have reservations. They hope to watch it with the movie, and hope that one plus one is greater than two, not a decrease.

After half a month, the post-production of this movie was finished.

Lu Heng called together various investors, and invited Han Ping and others to watch the film together.

Although Lu Heng came up with the idea of ​​shooting "Red Cliff" because of Wu Yusen's "Red Cliff", it is estimated that even if Wu Yusen, who has finished filming "Red Cliff" in the future, will not think that the two have much to do with the current film, it is just that the genre and the theme collide. up.

The Chibi War is a historical event, and its timeline is there. It doesn't mean that Wu Yusen filmed those stories, and Lu Heng's filming is plagiarism, or adapting his stories.

In fact, up to now, except for the timeline difference is not too big, other details are different.

What's more, his two films together lasted five hours, while Lu Heng only had one, which was two and a half hours long.

And it's not that the content is much less when the time is short. In fact, Lu Hengbi's details are not bad at all-and Wu Yusen's, many plots are long-winded and irrelevant additions, which not only have no promotion effect on the plot, but also make people feel uncomfortable. Disgust, nausea.

The main line of Lu Heng's story is the timeline of the Chibi War. There are not many women, and there are very few plots.

There are only three main women, and the others are all soy sauce like court ladies, and the female soldiers around Sun Shangxiang.

And Sun Shangxiang doesn't have many plots, just to mention, the duration of the shots of several short episodes is probably not as long as that of Qian Wei in the previous life.

There are a little more of Xiao Qiao, but it is basically the interaction with Zhou Yu played by Lu Heng, which paves the way for Lu Heng.

As for Cao Cao... It is impossible for the two of them to meet. In a battle of tens of thousands of people, she will not be able to play any role at all. For a big man like Zhou Yu, it is even more impossible for his wife to put himself in danger. Middle——The key thing Wu Yusen designed in her previous life was that she crossed the river in a flat boat to meet Cao.
When the duration is compressed, the main shot is much simpler, divided into three stages——

In the early stage, Cao Cao's momentum was like a rainbow, the Sun and Liu families were anxious, and Zhou Yu and Zhuge Liang were calm and high-spirited in the face of danger!
The Battle of Chibi in the mid-term, and the defeat in the later stage!
The battle of Chibi in the mid-term is also divided into the early trials and strategies, the mid-term borrowing arrows from straw boats, and the later stage of burning Chibi!
As for the defeat of the army in the later stage, Cao Cao's embarrassment, Guan Yu's military order, Hua Rongdao, etc. are indispensable-but these, which should be described, Wu Yusen did not have too much pen and ink to perfunctory.

Many of these scenes are the shock of sound effects, visuals and big scenes. The galloping horses in Changbanpo, the momentum of straw boats borrowing arrows are like rainbows, and the elation of burning Chibi!
Even, these scenes of Lu Heng are more rhythmic than many Hollywood blockbusters - many of their gimmicks are put at the end, and those big scenes are when they confront the big boss. There are some fast-paced actions or big scenes, but it is the last scene that really arouses the audience's interest.

But Lu Heng's is not. It was a big scene from Cao Cao's defeat of Karasuma, to Changbanpo, and the grass boat borrowed arrows and burned Chibi. It was a big scene-but Lu Heng was not shocked until the end , After the defeat of Karasuma, there was a class teacher who returned to the court and threatened the emperor, etc. After Changbanpo, Zhuge Liang came to be a lobbyist, joined forces with Wu to resist Cao, and there were counter-intrigues, bitter tricks, etc. interspersed later.

It's like the combination of fast and slow rhythms, the refreshing side dishes between the big dishes, while adjusting the rhythm, it also arouses greater expectations!

The reason why novels adapted from novels and film and television works get more attention than completely original works in the early stage is because the audience is wide. If they can’t capture what they think in their hearts, or add ingredients without permission or even change beyond recognition, the readers will be furious, as disgusting as Chixiang, and Driven by their original party, other audiences also became disgusted.

However, if there are no major changes to the original work, just work on some details, and the graphics and sound effects meet everyone’s expectations for a blockbuster, even if it just passed the pass line, you will be satisfied, and if it is excellent or even excellent, then it will be well received. .

This is the case with Lu Heng's film, and Liu Guanzhang in him is the original actor of the CCTV version of Three Kingdoms, which has a higher acceptance rate!
Those who used to cooperate with the soundtrack of the movie, especially the war plot of the big scene, when Cao Cao was full of energy, there was a low roar, and when Sun Liu fought against Cao Jun, it was passionate and exciting, which made people's hearts rise and look forward to it together!
After they finished reading, they didn't speak for a while, but Lu Heng wasn't worried.

Sure enough, after a brief silence, everyone applauded!

"Good!" Han Ping was overjoyed: "The blood is boiling, and the details are appropriate, a rare boutique!"

"I would also like."

"The shots have shown momentum and standards, Lu Heng is amazing!"

Someone praised.

Lu Heng hurriedly said humbly: "It's the result of the joint efforts of Director Cai and Mr. Han."

Since everyone is satisfied, it will be easy to handle.

Then began the next series of processes.

Under the control of Lu Heng, Han Ping, and Cai Xiaoqing, this movie has no over-the-line content at all, so it naturally won the dragon mark smoothly.

After the review, they discussed distribution with various theaters, because this film was made by Han Ping as a model, and with so much money invested, it was natural to pay attention to it, and the domestic part was directly released by their Huaying Group.

As for the foreign ones, Huaying beat the side drums and cooperated with Anle Films to distribute them.

But it will definitely be released first in China.

Even after Jiang Zhiqiang finished watching the film, he didn't say anything for a long time. When Lu Heng turned his head, he found that his eyes were moist.

"What's wrong?" Lu Heng asked in surprise.

"It's okay." Jiang Zhiqiang wiped the corners of his eyes, and his tone was full of emotion: "From my father to me, the movies that have been released for decades, most of them are foreign movies released to Xiangjiang, and domestic movies released abroad There are, but very few."

Then he shook his head: "But it's a pity that only martial arts movies can interest them, and they only recognize Shuangli Yicheng."

"A lot of times I wonder, when we in China will have a movie based on our Chinese culture. Although the "Red Sorghum" filmed by Director Zhang and "Farewell My Concubine" filmed by Director Chen in the past, although these It’s also a fine piece, but it’s not a well-known commercial film.”

"Hollywood also has literary films, but it is commercial films that attract the world's attention, especially commercial blockbusters. In this regard, we have never had Chinese-language films."

"Today, you let me see the history, the superb, and the shock."

As he said that, Jiang Zhiqiang probably thought of the decades of development of Anle Films, and his eyes became slightly moist again.

Lu Heng can understand him, just like before the Olympic bid was successful, hundreds of millions of people rejoiced and reveled all night, feeling that there is finally a day of breakthrough.

This is a hope, an expectation for the future to start to have more energy and imagination, full of vigor and energy, but when I think of the past, I can't help but sigh with emotion and tears well up in my eyes.

"Thank you." Lu Heng patted him on the shoulder.

But Jiang Zhiqiang immediately corrected: "No, it should be me who wants to thank you. Your style is not what they catered to in the past. It is a way of reducing ten meetings with one force. It is a kingly way. You may not get an Oscar in the future, but Your future is definitely stronger than that of Li An, and you will even lead Huaxia Movies to establish a firm foothold in the world."

Lu Heng was surprised by his evaluation and his opinion of Li An and the others. This is probably like thinking that burgers and fries are delicious before eating the eight major cuisines, but now that they have eaten, they have higher thoughts.

So Lu Heng smiled and corrected: "I thank you for helping to distribute it abroad."

Jiang Zhiqiang laughed loudly, and said after laughing: "Based on my years of releasing movies and my understanding of the European and American markets, your movie is the kind of kingly way that is invincible. People from all countries, skin colors and beliefs will like it. Because there are such scenes in the history of every country. Although they are watching the Three Kingdoms War in the history of China, what they bring in... may be the war in their own history, and those well-made big scenes will also Shock them."

"Actually, this is the tried-and-tested routine of Hollywood." Jiang Zhiqiang finally concluded.

Lu Heng nodded, deeply agreeing.

June 6th, the sixteenth day of the fifth lunar month, Wednesday.

"Red Cliff", starring and directed by Lu Heng, was released in China!
This time is fixed by Lu Chang, not Friday, June 6 as they thought before—it will be released on Friday, and it will have a two-day weekend, which can have a good start.

But Lu Heng feels that a good movie can be released any day, and a bad movie, even if there are no other movies to watch at the same time, probably not many people will watch it.

What's more, three 6s that day, how auspicious.

"Isn't this a lucky start!"

Hearing Lu Heng's laughter, everyone didn't feel a smile. Anyway, it was only two days in advance, and they all recognized the quality of the movie, so they let him go.

Now that the summer season has started, in such a hot season, the movie theaters have also become hot because of this "declared" blockbuster.

Under various publicity, countless curious viewers bought tickets to see it quickly.
