Huayu: The director just wants to save money

Chapter 371: The Great Chess Master, the Dark Version of Zhang Wuji

"Don't you think it's abrupt?" Zhou Mo confirmed again.

"Not at all." Fu Dalong shook his head.

"Yes."

Hu Ge added: "Director Zhou, you don't need to worry about these situations. Personally, both I and my fans think it is normal for mythological elements to appear in movies.

In fact, after we finished filming the new version of "The Myth" that year, some fans asked me whether it was possible for our drama to eventually turn into a battle of gods.

In fact, they particularly want to see content such as "Mythical Three Kingdoms" and "Xianwu Tang Dynasty".

Therefore, the mythological elements added to The Great Wall should be quite a lot now.”

Zhang Ruoyun asked, "Old Hu, does anyone want to watch the mythical version of the Song Dynasty?"

"Uh...no."

Hugo shook his head.

Zhou Mo always felt like laughing.

This is the opinion of netizens, but when Zhang Yimou was filming "The Great Wall", it was as if he was under a spell and he was stubborn and insisted on setting up such a background.

Zhang Ruoyun added.

"My fans are similar. I would like to ask, Director Zhou, when you were filming Chu and Han two years ago, my fans actually asked if there would be a God of War version of Xiang Yu.

We should film the historical records of 'strength to pull up mountains and courage to conquer the world' in real terms, rather than just describing it as such."

Zhou Mo nodded. He had indeed heard of this news.

There were plans too.

However, he had not received any reward from the special effects company at that time, and if he rashly made a mythological special effects blockbuster, it would easily fail to meet the audience's expectations and cause a failure.

Although domestic audiences have done a good job in supporting domestic products.

But before I took it to the special effects company, with "Avatar" being the success, my technology would be far inferior if I did it myself.

But that's different now.

With the special effects company in hand, Zhou Mo believes that he is no weaker than any other company in the world.

"Okay, I understand. I will consider the themes of the subsequent Mythological Three Kingdoms and Xianwu Tang Dynasty. Let's see how the audience and fans respond."

Hearing this, Hu Ge and Zhang Ruoyun both showed joy on their faces.

Director Zhou never writes blank checks.

Since he said he was considering it, it means that there is a high probability that these two movies will be put on the agenda.

Filming requires actors.

Compared to those strangers outside, it must be more convenient for these old people to use it.

Compared to the excitement of the other two people, Fu Dalong was relatively calm, but the corners of his mouth couldn't help but smile.

Judging from the script of the play "The Great Wall", Zhou Mo intentionally raised the Great Wall to a very high status.

It is a talisman that isolates foreign demons and humans.

Therefore, as long as mythology and history continue to be filmed in the future, the existence of the Great Wall will continue to be filmed.

The Great Wall was built under the order of Ying Zheng, the character he played.

Therefore, no matter what, he will definitely have a role in the future.

……

One week later.

The shooting officially entered the formal stage.

Zhou Mo went into full-force mode on the crew.

It’s almost March now, and Gone Girl has been completed and is ready to participate in this year’s Cannes.

Although Cannes is held in mid-May every year, the nominated works are announced in April.

Therefore, in order to carry out subsequent work smoothly, he must complete all work before May and then start preparing for the Cannes Award.

Don't think that the Cannes Film Festival doesn't need to be run.

It costs money to win awards at film festivals around the world.

The same goes for Hollywood.

The famous jailbroken man Weinstein specializes in this.

The reason why several domestic awards are bad is not that they require operations, but that the level of distribution is too poor, and sometimes even the face is not acceptable.

shooting scene.

The shot being filmed at this moment is Chen Baoguo's famous scene.

After Liu Che ascended the throne, he survived his grandmother and used various policies to consolidate power and accumulate wealth. Finally, he was fully prepared and decided to start a full-scale battle with the Huns.

In the court, Liu Che sat at the table with ease, seemingly unconcerned, but in fact his eyes were sharp, and he looked like a sword just out of the forge.

Faced with various voices in the court, Liu Che made his most determined decision.

"From now on, offense and defense will change."

"If the enemy goes where he wants, I can go too!"

This scene first appeared in "Emperor Wu of Han" in 05, and now Zhou Mo is paying tribute to it with confidence——

What cultured people do is never called stealing.

Da Tiantian looked at Chen Baoguo's arrogant look in the field, her eyes full of admiration, but she said in a strange tone: "Mr. Chen has performed very well, but I always feel a little strange, I feel that he will say 'My money!' in the next second."

Zhou Mo thought about it.

“There’s nothing wrong with that, both of them are King Sejong, so they actually have a lot of similarities.

Both are iron-headed guys. One is determined to fight the Huns, while the other is determined to become an immortal.

Both of them had achievements in the early stages, although Liu Che's achievements were countless times more outstanding and he successfully laid the foundation for the Han nationality.

At the same time, both of them are very long-lived, and they basically start to go crazy after they get older. So you feel a little familiar, and it's normal."

Da Tiantian thought for a moment and said, "Do you have any plans to shoot the second half of Liu Che in the future? I heard a few days ago that you were going to use the movie as a node and fill in the gap with a web series? What is the specific situation?"

Zhou Mo explained:
“It’s just an idea at the moment and has not been formalized.

I was thinking, since we are going to film mythological history, although we have chosen the most well-known historical events, there is actually a lot of historical content that can be filmed in each movie.

These contents are not suitable for movies, but are very suitable for TV series.

It can be played between movies after filming, which not only maintains the popularity of the movie, but also helps to keep the thread of the movie in place.”

Zhou Mo spoke a lot and gave another example.

"For example, Liu Qi, the chess master of the Han Dynasty, was so angry at being humiliated that he beat the prince of Wu to death in public.

This situation is actually not easy to make into a movie. After all, I can't replace the chess and card in Liu Qi's hand with the Fantian Seal and have a dragon appear every time he clap his hands.

Therefore, this situation is more suitable for being made into a drama.”

Da Tiantian was stunned for a long time before she reacted.

"The great chess master you are talking about must be Emperor Jing of Han, right?"

"correct."

Da Tiantian: ...

What an outrageous nickname, but when I think about it carefully, I suddenly feel that there is nothing wrong with it.

It was just like a card game she had seen Zhou Mo play before. He had just taken out a card in the previous second, and started "I Summon My Fist" in the next second.

It feels a bit strange though.

But Zhou Mo told her that "summoning fist" was the rule of that game.

In addition, this is called "If you can't solve the problem, solve the person who created the problem." In fact, the results are not much different.

Zhou Mo didn't notice the change in Da Tiantian's expression.

Continue to lose: "Besides this, Emperor Wen of Han Liu Heng can actually be filmed more. This guy is really awesome in history, a super white rabbit, and the white lotus in the court is him.

It’s actually completely possible for one person to shoot a drama.”

"Beauty's Rival in Palace?"

"An era, but I'm talking about a political drama, which is completely different from "Beauty's Rival in Palace." Zhou Mo didn't explain too much.

He was still thinking about the matter of "Han Chess Master".

To be honest, this guy is not as capable as his father, Emperor Wu of Han.

But the things that can be photographed on him are better than his father's.

Although Emperor Wen of Han was extremely awesome and a natural emperor, he managed the world well without anyone noticing, while smiling and stabbing others at the same time.

In comparison, Liu Qi's experience was much more dramatic.

"The Great Han Chess Master" - this is the young man.

"Hello teacher, goodbye teacher" - this is middle age.

"He was seriously ill and his time was almost up, but when his wife called him 'old dog', he turned around and got up, and persevered until Liu Che grew up" - this is old age.

With this life experience, there is no need for any complicated secondary creation. Just a slight adaptation can make it into a good drama that is both critically acclaimed and commercially successful.

The problem is, if this script is really to be filmed, who should be chosen to play the leading role?

As for Emperor Jing of Han, who was a super iron-headed guy and seemed a little crazy at a young age, the few people under him who had good habits were really not suitable for him.

And the age is not right.

Zhou Mo fell into deep thought, and this thinking lasted until the evening.

Night, in the room.

Da Tiantian and Zhou Mo were sitting on the sofa watching TV.

"The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber" has been aired for more than ten episodes, and the plot has entered the mid-term.

At Zhou Mo's request, Fatty Wang made the rhythm of the TV series very tight.

Da Tiantian was doing three things at once. The first few episodes of "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber" were playing on her mobile phone, which she used to supplement the previous plot.

She used the middle plot played on TV to chase.

There is Zhou Mo next to me. If there is anything I don’t understand, I can just ask him directly.

Since we are going to film the story of Executing Yuan Zhang, it is impossible to film it according to the honest, old-fashioned and hesitant version of Zhang Wuji in Jin Yong's later versions.

Instead, from the very beginning, he was laid out with a heavy heart.

In front of Wudang Mountain, several major sects forced Zhang Cuishan and Yin Susu to death, and the seeds of revenge had already been planted in Zhang Wuji's heart.

And his biological mother Yin Susu's words, "The more beautiful a woman is, the more likely she is to lie," left a deep impression on him.

In addition, he was also deeply impressed by his master's power in suppressing the world and the fact that he was restrained by the reputation of the righteous path.

The master's martial arts skills are already the best in the world, but the so-called righteous sects are only able to use the name of "punishing evil" to find his adoptive father and kill his parents.

So, it doesn’t matter if this is the right way.

One day, he must be able to do whatever he wants!
But this does not mean that Zhang Wuji will completely abandon the righteous path.

He has already understood that the so-called righteous path and the evil path are, after all, just a method.

His ultimate goal is to do tyrannical things in the name of righteousness.

So, he wants the magic path.

He also wants the right path.

He wants them all.jpg.

And there is only one name that can unite these forces.

uprising!
