Chapter 151 Respecting Common Sense, the Taste of the Times (33)

China Film.

Shen Santong got out of the car and entered the office building where Han Sanping was, greeting the China Film staff along the way.

He has high emotional intelligence and can talk to anyone.

When he arrived at Han Sanping's office, Shen Santong looked for tea first.

I have been to Han Sanping's office several times and basically know the location of the tea.

Han Sanping was helpless: "People say you are worth hundreds of millions, you want to take advantage of my tea, right?"

Shen Santong shook the cup: "The leader's tea is different."

Han Sanping didn't talk nonsense with him, because he knew Shen Santong was very good at talking: "Tell me what you think about Chibi?"

But I nodded secretly in my heart and didn't feel too proud.

The two films set many records and were the first in film history.

Overtaking the big ship yesterday was not the end of our impact, nor was it the beginning, but just the beginning.

He said he wanted to get out of the spotlight and he did it, and he remained humble at yesterday's press conference.

At his age, Shen Santong already understands the principle of being low-key in life and high-key in work, which really surprised Han Sanping.

It was he who supported Feng Xiaogang in making the Lunar New Year film, and the rise of Huayi Wang and Daxiao Wang also depended on his support.

However, after these people became successful, they became extremely arrogant.

Han Sanping thought to himself that young people were indeed of high quality. It seemed that he should train more young filmmakers in the future.

Shen Santong had an overall idea for the Red Cliff project: "The key is the presentation of special effects. The plot is easy to make. It is mainly based on the Romance of the Three Kingdoms and does not deviate from history."

"For the creative part, I don't need to edit the original plot, and I don't allow original works that deviate from history. If original works are needed, they will be taken from Romance of the Three Kingdoms."

It has been more than two months since the project was launched. While promoting the project, Shen Santong was also thinking about Chibi.

Free time is not just spent on ice and snow sports or playing cards.

Did a lot of good things.

"The Three Kingdoms" was written by Chen Shou, a historian of the Western Jin Dynasty.

A chronological history in the form of chronicles that records the Cao Wei, Shu Han and Eastern Wu dynasties during the Three Kingdoms period.

It is one of the "Four Ancient Histories" with the highest evaluation among the Twenty-Four Histories.

"Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is a long historical novel in chapter form created by Luo Guanzhong, a novelist in the late Yuan Dynasty and early Ming Dynasty, based on "Records of the Three Kingdoms" and Pei Songzhi's annotations, as well as folk stories and legends of the Three Kingdoms, through artistic processing.

Shen Santong explained his specific thoughts: "In my opinion, historical blockbusters have a unique advantage in terms of plot. After thousands of years of testing, what the audience likes and what they care about is clear at a glance."

"It closely follows the historical context and draws original materials from historical legends. The best original work of Red Cliff is Romance of the Three Kingdoms. It has been circulated for so many years, which shows that it is very vital."

"I don't do original creations, and I don't do original creations without foundation. The outline is mainly based on the "Three Kingdoms", and the original creation does not deviate from the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms". The script outline is based on this."

"Script writing is mainly about details. Our current view of the Three Kingdoms is different from that of Luo Guanzhong and Chen Shou."

"When I make a movie, with the success of CCTV's Romance of the Three Kingdoms, I have to give the audience something different."

"But the only difference here is in the details. The plot direction and outline cannot be messed up."

Shen Santong is not an arrogant person.

His experience in engineering in his previous life cultivated his habit of respecting common sense.

Failure to respect common sense on a construction site can result in death.

What's more, he is a novel lover, and his favorite works were ruined.

All the popular online literary works have emerged from mountains of corpses and seas of blood.

Especially for online novels that are extremely popular on the entire Internet, there should not be any obvious shortcomings in terms of imagination, setting, plot, and writing style.

The serial updates must be outstanding.

Maybe in the later stage I can update twice a day, or even once a day, and sometimes stop updating.

But the early updates of all popular online novels are guaranteed.

The works that were produced in a highly competitive environment with no barriers to entry have their story lines tested. In later generations, some TV series, movies, and comics adapted online novels by just taking the name and creating the rest themselves.

I have no idea of ​​my own weight.

Shen Santong was aware of his own capabilities, so when making "Red Cliff", he insisted on two points.

First, respect history.

The second point is that the original material is taken from "Romance of the Three Kingdoms".

When it comes to original creations of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, he is definitely not as awesome as Luo Guanzhong.

Moreover, the material is taken from "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", which does not conform to historical facts and the audience will not be distracted by the play.

Because to some extent, "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" has also become a part of history.

Shen Santong's most profound historical perspective is that he gave different meanings to Chibi because of different eras.

The focus is on the details of the plot, which are original and consistent with historical common sense.

As for the plot and outline, they are determined not to be original.

Like in the original version, Cao Cao started a war for Xiao Qiao, and the idea that Xiao Qiao could influence the direction of a war is purely stupid.

After listening to Shen Santong's explanation, Han Sanping nodded repeatedly.

When it comes to making movies, Shen Santong is really good at it, so he doesn't have to worry.

He called Shen Santong today, in addition to the Red Cliff project, there were other things to do: "Wu Yusen, he also wants to shoot Red Cliff, and proposed to co-produce it with you, what do you think?"

Shen Santong refused without even thinking: "Impossible! I don't want to ruin my reputation!"

joke.

Filmed with Wu Yusen?

Shen Santong must be sick to do this, there is no way he would agree to it.

Han Sanping had expected Shen Santong to refuse, but he didn't expect him to be so firm. He felt that co-production would be good for Shen Santong: "He is a famous international director. If we co-produce, it will help improve your international reputation."

Shen Santong shook his head: "I've said it before, his personal expression is above the movies, and it's a thankless task for me to work with him."

Shen Santong understands this era and indeed attaches great importance to international reputation, and Han Sanping is no exception.

Shen Santong said firmly: "I don't care about international influence at all! That thing is useless. The so-called internationalization is like picking up sesame seeds and losing watermelons."

"Movies are a popular art form that needs the support of the public. Or maybe the whole entertainment industry is like this. It won't work if you eat from the east and stay in the west."

"The vast majority of Chinese people are intelligent and have a sense of justice. When we were going through hardships together and the film market was in urgent need of development, I was not there. I was out there making films for others in the film market."

"The market is booming, and I'm here to divide the pie. Do you think the audience will like this kind of director?"

“Can such a director produce works that Chinese audiences will like?”

Shen Santong stared at Han Sanping: "Don't treat the common people as fools!"

Shen Santong had never thought about working in the international field and then coming back. It was purely a matter of assumption.

I never thought about getting the title of international director because that would distance me from the audience.

Han Sanping was also speechless after hearing what Shen Santong said, and he couldn't persuade her: "I don't want to cooperate either, but if we don't cooperate, Wu Yusen will go after Yue Fei."

Han Sanping was also helpless as he was under a lot of pressure.

After Wu Yusen made the statement, a certain office greeted him.

Respect your fellow man.

Unite!

When Shen Santong heard that Wu Yusen was going to film Yue Fei, he was both angry and amused: "If he were to film it, it would definitely be about surrender. Yue Fei is someone who can stir up the hearts of countless Chinese people. Can it be released?"

Yue Fei is not just a so-called national issue, but a very special figure in the hearts of Chinese people.

It doesn't matter if you don't touch him.

If you move and don’t do it well, something bad will happen.
