my movie years

The uproar in the entertainment industry did not affect Zhang Hao.

Zhang Hao named the new project "The Earth Shakes and the Mountains Shake" and then finalized the script.Unlike in the past where he wrote the script himself, Zhang Hao summoned five or six screenwriters to help him complete the script creation this time.

However, these screenwriters are not well-known screenwriters. They were very excited when they heard that they could be signed in the screenwriter column and it was a movie directed by Zhang Hao.

Da Mi Mi asked Zhang Hao why he didn't find some well-known screenwriters. The script creation of famous screenwriters is more mature.

Zhang Hao answered this: "These well-known screenwriters have rigid thinking and have been caused by the current film and television industry environment to lose the core skills of screenwriting.

Their story-telling abilities and imagination are not even as good as those of kindergarten students. Their handling of plots and emotional dramas is like child's play, which seems routine and childish.

In this regard, budding screenwriters are not, they have not yet been infected with the common pitfalls of the industry. "

Da Mi Mi nodded and agreed with Zhang Hao's idea.

Indeed, although novice screenwriters have various shortcomings and problems, their thinking is not rigid and they can keep up with Zhang Hao's ideas.

And Zhang Hao only needs such a group of screenwriters who can keep up with the ideas, and that's almost enough.

In fact, Zhang Hao has discussed with his alma mater, Beijing Film Academy, to strengthen the study and construction of screenwriting as a subject.

If Chinese-language films want to replace Hollywood in the future, a group of excellent screenwriters and directors will be equally important and indispensable.

Not only that, Zhang Hao also suggested that cultivating professional producers, using producers to manage the crew, and breaking away from the small studio model is the future direction of Chinese films.

Zhang Hao once said in a face-to-face interview that he directed a movie almost like a September [-] opening.

What is "Jiuyikai" is that Zhang Hao spends almost [-]% of his time on management and only [-]% of his time on movies.

If he had the help of a capable professional producer, Zhang Hao could take his energy away from managing the crew and concentrate on making a good movie.

But just because there are few people who can share the burden, Zhang Hao often has to do it himself.

Even producer Liu Hao, who has worked with Zhang Hao for many years, is still not as capable as Hollywood professional producers.Even so, Liu Hao is already the top producer in China.

Zhang Hao sometimes couldn't help but miss Charles Rowan, who collaborated with him on the "Dark Knight" trilogy. Work was really easy back then.

However, the producer also has a problem, that is, it is easy to cause power disputes between the crew and the director.Wherever there are people, there are rivers and lakes. Six people can create eight groups, not to mention a crew that can easily have hundreds or even thousands of people.

Of course, as long as the director's position is big enough, the producer won't have any thoughts and will just do his job honestly.

However, even if the top directors in Hollywood have great power, but with the assistance of excellent producers, their workload is still not as good as that of Chinese film directors.

This is also the reason why Chinese film crews generally adopt a small workshop model. In addition to the fact that the film industry cannot keep up, it is also related to the fact that directors have too many things to manage.

A director who can manage hundreds of people is already a top-notch director. A director who can manage thousands of people is called a super director.

Guo Shi has made so many movies in his life, but no more than five of them had a crew of more than 1000 people.

As for Zhang Hao, it has been a long time since he could remember what it was like to shoot "Manslaughter" and "Genius Gunman" in the small studio mode.

Anyway, it will definitely be easier than now.

Therefore, based on his own personal experience, Zhang Hao thought about cultivating professional producers and moving Chinese films from a small workshop model to an industrialized model.

But now it seems that this road is not easy to walk, and there is a long way to go.

Going back to the script of "The Earth Shakes and the Mountains Shake", the previous versions of the scripts written by the screenwriters were very general, similar to the previous main theme movie models.

In short, it is too templated, too unrealistic, and a bit condescending.

So there is no doubt that the script was killed by Zhang Hao.

Zhang Hao and the screenwriters emphasized that they should focus on personal and family stories, and then expand on them to write the entire story.The screenwriters obviously understood what Zhang Hao meant, and the subsequent versions of the scripts they submitted began to look good.

After more than ten revisions, the script was finally finalized. The script mainly tells the story from the perspective of three families, and presents the disaster from the point of view.

Zhang Hao read the script and felt very satisfied with it, so he adopted the script.

The script is finalized, and the next step is to choose the right actors.Many actors know about the new project Zhang Hao is preparing and want to get involved.

Zhang Hao was a very popular director at this time. Both veteran movie stars and new generation young talents wanted to cooperate with Zhang Hao.

But here comes the problem. There is only one movie and there are only so many characters. Who can win the role is a very challenging question.

To this end, celebrities from all walks of life go to great lengths, making various appointments for dinner or meeting by chance at events and parties.

The female celebrities were even bolder, using the excuse of toasting, and then, drunkenly, leaned on Zhang Hao in an attempt to seduce Zhang Hao with their beauty.

Fortunately, Zhang Hao is very smart and usually lets the big power come to the rescue at this time.

Although everyone knew that some actresses seduced Zhang Hao just for movie roles, everyone knew it tacitly and could not blatantly do so.

Therefore, when Da Mi Mi is present, any actress who wants to save face will retreat.

It's not like an ancient brothel. There is no such thing as forced buying and selling. Everyone is voluntary.After all, it was not done voluntarily, and everyone has seen the fate of a top-notch person.

Zhang Hao had already made plans for selecting suitable actors.

Mr. Zhou has always wanted to collaborate with Zhang Hao again since "The Embalmer", and this time it was natural for him to become one of the leading actors.

Similarly, Zhang Hao and Huang Bo also made an agreement, and Huang Bo also specially made time to star in this project.

In addition, Zhang Hao's favorite actor Lei Datou also appeared in this movie, playing the role of husband and wife together with Da Mi Mi.

Da Mi Mi plays a pregnant woman who gives birth during an earthquake.

This film focuses on the difficulties faced by families in this disaster and the glory of human nature.

There is also a plot in the script where pregnant women are helped by a Buddhist temple.

Originally, it was forbidden to see blood in Buddhist temples, let alone giving birth to children in temples. In addition, killing animals was against Buddhist teachings.

However, the abbot of the temple was life-oriented and broke the precepts. Not only did he accept pregnant women, but he also prescribed meat-free food and cooked meat dishes to supplement the nutrition of pregnant women.

This is a true story that happened at that time, and the choice of actor for its abbot is also extremely important.

The national teacher liked this role very much and strongly requested Zhang Hao to play this role himself.Zhang Hao thought he was a bit old and didn't want to use him at first.

But after searching around, he couldn't find a suitable candidate, so Zhang Hao had no choice but to choose a national teacher.

In addition, the film also brings together a series of veteran actors, including Mr. Lu Zhong, who worked with Zhang Hao on "Interstellar", and Mr. Bao Guo.

Similarly, many old Mesozoic actors, including Ning Li, Wang Yang, Wang Jinsong, Liu Yijun, Cao Lei, Zhang Tong and other actors have joined.

Later, during the audition process, Fu Dalong performed well and became one of the leading actors in the film.Considering the good looks of Mr. Zhou and Da Mi Mi, Tan Zhuo also became one of the starring roles for the sake of balance.

Coupled with a series of outstanding supporting roles, this movie can be described as a collection of powerful actors in today's film and television industry.

If these guys get together to film, it will definitely be a big deal.

What makes movie fans most comfortable is that there is not a single young person involved in the film.Even young actors have proven themselves, and they are not starring.

The film has just announced its cast, and it is already quite eye-catching. (End of chapter)
