Halo of cheating in the entertainment industry

Chapter [-] discusses gains and losses

Su Li is right, this time he is indeed going to learn Buddhist scriptures

The movie Zhang Yimou is currently shooting is "Jinling Thirteen Hairpins", which invested 6 million yuan. In fact, after eliminating some moisture, the investment will not be much less than "Inception". 5 Read the latest chapter of this book

Su Li himself has watched "Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling". Strictly speaking, it can still be regarded as a good movie, but there are some values ​​and other things in it that make people disagree.On the other hand, because of the selection of shooting themes and other issues, people have doubts about this movie.

But in any case, this movie is really well made, and Zhang Yimou's level is still there. Although he has been doubted by many people, he can still produce something.

Although "Jinling Thirteen Hairpins" has flaws, it is generally a good movie. Su Li will go to Zhang Yimou now to hear his thoughts.

Su Li came to visit the crew of "Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling" after a rough revision of the first version of the script. In fact, he really came at a bad time.

Because he felt that it was already June 6 when he came here, just in time for the completion of "Jinling Thirteen Hairpins", and Zhang Yimou was about to leave shortly after Su Li came here.But also because here, Su Li also saw the set of "Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling".

This is a large set of broken bricks and broken tiles. The crew filmed in the church that was built, while Su Li walked on the street outside.

This place has been set up as a real battlefield, with broken walls and scattered tiles that have not been completely cleaned up. It will not be emptied until the entire film is shot, because there may be a few extra shots on the spur of the moment. .

The war scene in "Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling" can be said to be a glimpse, but it also looks extremely gorgeous. In that kind of war scene full of tension, every gunshot is the sob of the hammering heart, which makes people want to stop.The latest and fastest update of this book comes from u58. The battlefield here is very well built. Although some of it has been tidied up now, what is left can also be seen from the things that used to exist here.

Su Li waited until they finished their finale, Zhang Yimou had been busy going in and out for a long time, even it was already late, and finally had some time to talk to Zhang Yimou after eleven o'clock in the evening.At this time, he also read a lot of materials about the filming process of "Jinling Thirteen Hairpins".

Zhang Yimou specially let Su Li watch this. Although Su Li has made some popular and blockbuster movies before, including commercial blockbusters such as "Inception", he has never made a war movie before. "Inception" involved a bit of a gunfight and chase, but it was just a scaly claw. If he wants to make a war film from beginning to end, he needs more accumulation.

However, there are many war scenes in "Jinling Thirteen Hairpins" and some data records, so that Su Li can read it with fascination, knowing that many war scenes in this movie were shot in that way.

He kept thinking in his mind how he should shoot, and after adding the shooting techniques of 3D movies, how should he deal with the war scenes in "The Country Breaks Mountains and Rivers", and how it should be combined with special effects to highlight the 3D effect.These materials provide a certain reference for Zuli, and some video materials even have more reference value.Although "Jinling Thirteen Hairpins" is not a 3-movie, there are many things in common.

So, when Zhang Yimou finally came to sit next to Su Li, Su Li also gained a lot in his heart, and he also had some plans for how he should shoot.

Su Li was looking at some materials and at the same time acting out a little bit in his head, when Zhang Yimou walked in.Now there is an unconcealable exhaustion on his face, and at the same time, there is a sense of relief.After all, this movie, which took a long time and used too much of his energy, has finally come to an end now, with a result, and his heart is relieved a lot.The latest and fastest update of this book comes from u58. Although it is still a long time before "Jinling Thirteen Hairpins" officially becomes a movie, the most important part of filming has passed, and the next thing will be easier than filming. few.

"You may have been waiting for a long time." Zhang Yimou said: "But you also know that you can't avoid the day of the finale, and a lot of things are entangled with you." Zhang Yimou said apologetically, and then sat in the Su Li next to the stool.

"It doesn't matter." Su Li said: "I saw a lot of things after reading these materials... This made me know some things, so I won't be blinded like I was at the beginning." This material really made Su Li see from it When it came to a lot of things, when he talked with Zhang Yimou, he rarely had any unnecessary politeness, basically he talked about things, and there was very little nonsense. .

Zhang Yimou said with a smile: "I saved some of these data for you when I was filming. Now you are also preparing to shoot your "The Country Breaks Mountains and Rivers". I think it should be useful."

Su Li knew that what Zhang Yimou said should be the truth, and he felt a little involuntarily warm in his heart. To be honest, Zhang Yimou was really kind to him.The help at the beginning, and then the real hand-in-hand teaching of "The Love of the Hawthorn Tree", benefited me a lot.

Now, he specially left some things for himself. Although it can't be said that he has good intentions, he has indeed put in a lot of effort.

Su Li didn't say any polite words of thanks, so he nodded, and there was no need for so many polite words between the two of them.Su Li said: "Teacher, how does it feel to make this movie? Is there a lot of pressure?"

"Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling" is a movie that Zhang Yimou has prepared for more than three years. This long preparation time alone is long enough, not to mention these difficult shootings. The investment of this movie is so large, these grand scenes, meticulous The subtle plots are very challenging.By now, Zhang Yimou must be exhausted.

"The pressure is really great." Zhang Yimou said with a wry smile: "Every film is incredibly stressful. You must have a similar experience, and your experience may be deeper than mine. Just from this "Jinling Thirteen" For "Hairpin", when the last shot is over, I really want to lie on the ground and never get up. It's just that there is still a long way to go before the film can be played on the big screen. I can't go there yet. sleep……"

Zhang Yimou did speak more and more tiredly, and the wry smile on his face became more and more serious. To be honest, this movie really put a lot of pressure on him.

"Yeah." Su Li nodded sympathetically, and said, "I think it's the same."

"Making this movie...in fact, there is a lack of confidence. It is not possible to completely relax when making a blockbuster movie again, and it is a movie with such a large investment." Zhang Yimou said: "Movies during the War of Resistance Against Japan... Anyway, , there are always things that cannot be avoided... To be honest, I was ready to be scolded. I was really scared when I heard that you invested [-] million dollars directly in "Inception", but now, My own movie has already invested in this amount... I was scared by myself. Although I said to the outside that I believe the cost can be recovered, I really have no idea."

Su Li smiled. Zhang Yimou said in front of the media that he was very confident in recovering the cost of "Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling", but now he did not hide anything, and directly expressed his worries.Even if it was Su Li, it was impossible to have complete confidence in himself under such circumstances. It was not tens of thousands of dollars, but hundreds of millions

But since Zhang Yimou has said that, it is impossible for him to have no reaction. Zhang Yimou has a very strong record before, that is, there has never been a movie that made investors lose money, and now this "Jinling Thirteen Hairpins" invested so much. Da, whether the cost can be recovered, Su Li has no answer in his heart, but at least he has to be lenient with Yimou.

Therefore, Su Li said: "Don't worry... You have never lost money in making movies before, and I believe you will do the same this time. I have also read the novel "Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling" and it is indeed very good. In terms of movies, with your skills, there will never be any problems... You can rest assured that you can recover the cost, maybe mainland China will be able to recover the cost with the box office."

Zhang Yimou also laughed: "Thank you for your good words. In fact, there are not many people who say that the box office of this movie can recover its cost. The main theme movie you are going to shoot now is an adaptation of an online novel?"

"Yes, it's a novel about the bloody battles of soldiers of the Eighth Route Army during the Anti-Japanese War..."

Zhang Yimou nodded, and said: "A few days ago, I specifically looked at what is an online novel. Online novels are different from traditional novels...Although they are the same as movies in nature, they also make money by entertaining the public, but because of the cost, time, Due to the pressure, some novels may not be so jng in quality."

"I know that." Su Li nodded, "However, the book I adapted has gone through many investigations... The quality is very good, and the description has some depth, and now it's just for the first draft of the script. , I have been hu for more than half a year... I think there should be no problem in terms of the quality of the script."

"Well, that's good." Zhang Yimou said: "You must know that whether it is my "Jinling Thirteen Hairpins" or your "The Country Breaks Mountains and Rivers", the most fundamental problem is how to make the audience willing to watch the movie. This needs to attract everyone... Otherwise, many people may run away when they see the main theme and the label of Anti-Japanese War..." This problem is actually a major problem facing modern domestic war films... On the one hand, there are cold-blooded relevant departments, on the other hand Aspects are picky viewers...

"I know... this movie of mine really needs to solve such a problem... To be honest, my current popularity is okay, but I want to increase the box office of my own movie to the level I want... That is far from enough, and many other ways are needed." Su Li planned to have a good talk with Zhang Yimou about this issue.
