Huayu: The director just wants to save money

Chapter 648 At Least It Won’t Be Twisted

Zhou Mo himself is very satisfied with the quality of "Surprise Attack on the White Tiger Regiment".

Whether from a commercial perspective, the film's story is full of ups and downs, grand and magnificent, and makes people feel happy.

Speaking from the perspective of the film itself, the message conveyed by the movie "Surprise Raid" from beginning to end is that this battle should be fought, must be fought, and must be fought bravely and beautifully.

"Letting Lao Jiang shoot this movie will ensure that the concept is good." Zhou Mo thought silently.

Lao Jiang respects teachers, and this is something known throughout the film industry.

Because of reverence, we analyze, understand, learn and support.

The situation of the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea is mentioned in textbooks.

The North and the South fought, the Allied Forces were drawn in, Chinese reinforcements were sent, and an almost impossible-to-defeat enemy was defeated.

This war is full of legends from beginning to end.

So from the very beginning, both Zhou Mo and Jiang Wen had defined this movie.

A war that has to be fought, and one that is fought for self-respect, self-confidence, glory, and independence.

Therefore, when Lao Jiang was filming "Surprise Attack", he naturally incorporated this cognition into the movie.

This is also the reason why Zhou Mo must choose Jiang Wen.

There are no other reasons:

Others either cannot trust the technology and tend to film the war as a gang fight, a police-criminal showdown, or knife-wielding slashing;
Either they are unreliable in terms of cognition and knowledge, or they turn the soldiers who have received the "Three Major Disciplines and Eight Points of Attention" and organized a highly disciplined army into a martial arts legend and a human charge.

In addition, there are some themes that are easy to go astray, such as turning such an important war for the founding of a country into "the pain of war", "stay away from war", "war is a sin anyway", and "end the pain".

If that happened, Zhou Mo would be so angry that he would get a stitch in his side.

"Yearning for peace" and "opposing war" are not exactly the same things.

Fortunately, the above situation did not occur in "Surprise Attack".

Lao Jiang has a good control over the content, and his intentions are very positive from beginning to end.

A director who can shoot "This + This" and "Knife in hand, follow me" doesn't need to worry about this at all.

In addition, Zhou Mo also invited many additional professionals to fill in the crew for some war details.

For example, Mao Weining.

Chapter director of "Meritorious Service: The Literary and Martial Li Yannian".

He managed to make a chapter of a TV series better than many others.

There is a passage in "Li Yannian, Both Literary and Martial", where the instructor explains to the soldiers ideologically "why we have to travel through mountains and rivers to fight, why we have to travel thousands of miles to experience the ordeal between life and death" (Zhang Andong).

This plot is one of the few in China that can demonstrate the role of ideological guidance.

In "Surprise Attack", Mao Weining also added a similar plot after discussing with Jiang Wen.

After the premiere.

Zhou Mo found Jiang Wen and his group, and when he saw Mao Weining was there, he was the first to applaud.

"Director Mao, the part you just said about directing in "Surprise Attack" was really great. It was an honor for the crew to contact you to make the movie."

Mao Weining waved his hands repeatedly.

"Director Zhou, thank you for your praise. I just happened to have some research in this area."

"You're too polite. No one else could produce such an excellent plot." Zhou Mo said as he pulled Mao Weining aside.

He glanced around and whispered.

"Director Mao, are you interested in signing a contract with Shanhe?"

Such talents must not be allowed to escape.

……

The first day box office results of "Surprise Attack on the White Tigers" are out.

2.1 billion.

As soon as Marco got the news, he ran directly to the airport, stopped Zhou Mo, and brought him back to Yanjing for a banquet.

"With such a good result, of course we have to hold a party. How can you just run away without saying anything?" Jiang Wen said, holding up his wine glass. He had arranged the venue early, and when Zhou Mo arrived, they started to have fun.

"Actually, you guys can just have fun on your own. My crew is waiting for me."

"Why are you in such a hurry? It won't affect anything if you wait for a day, but I can't have the party without you."

"There will be many opportunities in the future. Don't you need this opportunity?" Zhou Mo asked calmly.

Anyway, there are still many things here that are suitable for Jiang Wen to shoot.

"Surprise Attack on the White Tiger Regiment" is about the War to Resist U.S. Aggression

Next is Vietnam.

To three.

All have classic battles.

It was so classic that the audience didn't want to believe it when it was filmed on the screen. The director and screenwriter had to cut down on the record to make it seem more reasonable.

Reality may be illogical, but art creation such as film requires it.

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

Moreover, every battle in different eras has different connotations.

There are plenty of blank spaces for Jiang Wen to fill in his own things.

For example, in "Surprise Attack on the White Tiger Regiment", Jiang Wen added some content such as "truly independent", "peace-minded but not afraid of war", "for the sake of peace, victory is even more important", "the ambitions of the Dandong family", and "although they are teammates, the interests of both parties are not completely aligned".

It's possible in "The Raid" and it's also possible in other movies.

"How can it be the same? Of course this time counts as this time, and we'll talk about it next time when there's a chance." Jiang Wen muttered to himself without making any statement.

Zhou Mo looked at his drunken appearance and wanted to laugh.

Who said that Lao Jiangtou doesn’t care about the box office when making a movie?

She clearly said no.

The body is very honest.

But yes.

The current film market is developing in full swing with box office records soaring.

Even the great directors of the older generation cannot say that they are not affected at all.

It’s just a matter of choosing between making the audience happy or making yourself happy, and I prefer the latter.

Of course, it would be better if you can take both into account.

If you really can’t take care of both, take care of yourself first, and you can fool the audience.

In the previous life, which one of Kaizi Ge, Lao Mouzi, and Xu Ke did not start to make moves at the box office?

It's just that some people's actions were too obvious and they failed.

After the banquet that evening, Zhou Mo declined the room arranged by Marco and left Yanjing by plane.

Before leaving, Zhou Mo handed Marco two scripts.

One script is called "Monkey" and the other is called "Elephant".

These are just random names and will definitely be changed later.

"Brother Ma, I have already handed the script to you. Whether you can persuade Lao Jiang to shoot it and how much you can persuade Lao Jiang to shoot, that depends on you."

Marco glanced at the script and quickly put it away.

"Don't worry, Xiao Mo, I will move to his house in a while. If he doesn't accept, I won't leave."

Zhou Mo stopped worrying and got on the plane.

It's not that he doesn't want to rest.

But if he really stayed, he would probably be dragged away by Jiang Wen to perform a walking show early the next morning.

Even if he has free time, he will never go on roadshows.

What's more, he is still making a movie now.
