How China Entertainment was developed

Chapter 285 The Revised 【Hero】is still the same

[Pirates of the Caribbean 1] crew.

After a brief on-site guidance by Chenglong.

The fighting scene between the little blacksmith played by Zhang Nan and Captain Jack's son played by Johnny Depp was quite exciting.

Let Zhang Nan's already high voice in the crew of "Pirates of the Caribbean 1" increase a lot.

So Zhang Nan took Old Luke and took the opportunity to propose to Robert Watt, Old Luke's brother-in-law:
"Robert, what do you think of putting part of the shooting scenes of [Pirates of the Caribbean 1] in my studio in Pengcheng?"

For a project like "Pirates of the Caribbean" five-part series, with a total production fee of almost one billion US dollars, Zhang Nan naturally wanted to go through the oil and water, but he didn't find a chance to say it for a while.

Now that there is an opportunity to attack each other, Zhang Nan will naturally not let it go.

After hearing this, Robert Watt frowned, and said in embarrassment: "Zhang, although the [Pirates of the Caribbean] project is prepared for the promotion of new projects in Disneyland, the project as a whole is still a serious film and television project. It's a bit unruly to change the shooting plan so suddenly!"

After hearing this, Zhang Nan glanced directly at Old Luke, and upon seeing this, Old Luke understood and moved beside his brother-in-law.

"Brother-in-law, we have been together for so many years, how can I not understand your rules?"

Old Luke blocked Zhang Nan's sight with his hand, gestured to Robert Watt, and continued, "I'll give you this amount for the oil and water after the matter is done."

"..."

Robert Watt was quite speechless watching his brother-in-law's blocking action.

The two of you are in the same group, and this number was discussed between the two of you. Is it necessary to engage in this fancy operation?
However, although the operation was fancy, this number really moved his heart!

only……

"In this regard, my words are limited!" Robert Watt had a very clear judgment on the effect of his actions on this matter.

Seeing that Robert Watt had let go, Zhang Nan quickly stepped forward and said, "We also know this, so we have helped to figure out the reason to convince the Disney executives."

"What reason?" Robert Watt was taken aback when he heard this.

"With such a big market in the mainland, Disney has no idea of ​​opening Disneyland there? If there is, this kind of thing can't be done overnight. Let's start shooting [Pirates of the Caribbean 1] in Pengcheng first, and try it. Water, wouldn't it be wonderful."

Zhang Nan's words stunned Robert Watt.

But after thinking about it carefully, Robert Watt felt that these words were quite reasonable.

Because since Walt Disney can produce a movie of [Pirates of the Caribbean 1] for a new project of Disneyland.

So in order to try to open another Disneyland, it is not impossible to change the shooting plan of "Pirates of the Caribbean 1" and put some shooting scenes in the mainland.

"I... can only try to say something, and there is no guarantee of success."

With numbers that moved his heart and more reasonable reasons, Robert Watt could not refuse this action plan.

"There is no 100% success in this world, brother-in-law, as long as you propose to Disney, no matter whether it succeeds or not, I will give you the 'rules' of this number."

Seeing that the number in his brother-in-law's hand became larger, Robert Watt knew that if this wave of operations failed, the benefit fee would drop by at least an order of magnitude.

……

After more than a month, the time came to October.

Zhang Nanfang's part in "Pirates of the Caribbean 1" was about to wrap up, almost forgot about it, and Disney finally gave the news.

Adjust the follow-up shooting plan to the mainland for framing and shooting.

It worked out.
-
Pengcheng, Longbow Film and Television City.

It was a situation that was about to wrap up, so after coming to Pengcheng with the crew of "Pirates of the Caribbean 1", Zhang Nan completely wrapped up his role in a few days, and let the 1.2 million US dollars in salary be settled.

then……

Zhang Yimou and Zhang Weiping came with the filmed and edited negatives of "Heroes", next to them stood the investors Hua Yinghan Sanpin and the lead actor Li Lianlian, followed by Yu Entai and Hu Ge who played supporting roles.

"Let's not talk about anything else, I'll watch the movie first." Seeing this, Zhang Nan waved his hand, telling a group of people to stop talking and give their own opinions.

No one could refuse Zhang Nan's opinion.

[Hero] Zhang Nan from Yuanshikong didn't watch the whole thing, because he felt too bored, so he skipped and watched it all.

But this version of "Hero" Zhang Nan obviously couldn't watch it skipping.

Firstly, the director, investors, leading actors, and supporting actors were all sitting next to Zhang Nan, and it was not appropriate to jump and watch.

The second is that the film is played in a small theater, and it is not easy to operate while skipping.

So Zhang Nan could only force himself to watch the whole movie.

As for feeling!
It can only be said that although this version of "Heroes" only keeps the protagonist and director unchanged, the male supporting role of Xiangjiang has been replaced by a mainland artist, and a new investor has been added.

But overall it's not much different from the original.

96 minutes, one and a half hours long, Zhang Nan felt two or three hours long.

The overall viewing experience is still dull.

Dramatically designed...

To put it nicely, it means that the artistry is relatively high; to put it bluntly, it means talking about a lot of nonsense, pretending to be metaphysics, which is annoying.

Take the most obvious example.

That is, in the movie, there is a special effect scene of an archer shooting arrows at two martial arts masters, and the scene of two martial arts masters avoiding bows and arrows is filmed as if they are dancing.

That's pretty much it.

Because the main function of this kind of lens and plot is to reflect the sense of danger and boost the audience's adrenaline.

But with such a treatment, it looks a bit like a disgusting person who uses a dung ladle to scoop up water and use it indiscriminately.

It's just that this feeling is for a reborn person like Zhang Nan.

As far as the current movie-watching level of the mainland audience is concerned, they still have to eat the "Hero" set of pretending to be moaning and fancy, otherwise it wouldn't have hit the box office of 2.5 million yuan in the mainland.

For foreign audiences, due to language, cultural, etc. barriers, Zhang Nan regards [Heroes] as a bit of a moaning point, but it is particularly mysterious to foreigners.

It's like mainlanders think English names like Lili, Lucy, Mary... are very fashionable, but in the eyes of foreigners, they are Ergou, Cuihua, Tiezhu...

However, this kind of operation can't be done too much. If there are too many times, foreigners will not buy it.

This can be seen from the fact that the films made by Zhang Yimou in the future will not have much box office in foreign countries.

But now for the first time, this style is still quite popular.
