Chapter 265: A Big Mistake, Creator Mobilization Meeting (13)

10 month 31 day.

Shen Santong pulled his arm out from under Gao Lu and fell into deep regret.

It's very painful.

After being stunned for a while, Shen Santong quietly stood up and tucked the quilt for Gao Lu.

At the end of October, the weather started to get cooler.

Opening the diary, Shen Santong admitted his mistakes one by one.

Two days ago at the Hundred Flowers Awards, Li Bingbing won the Best Actress award for her role in "Happy Birthday". Let's talk about the drama.

The day before yesterday, I discussed the play with Huo Siyan and Dong Xuan.

Yesterday, I talked about the play with Gao Lu.

Shen Santong picked up the pen and wrote: Shen Santong, you can't do this anymore!
Similar sentences appeared repeatedly in his diary every time in the past two months, and Shen Santong had to admit that he was wrong.

Made a big mistake.

Lowering your self-requirements is to synchronize with your cognition, and then reach the state of unity of knowledge and action, and then continue to climb and seek the ultimate state.

I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it.

Once you lower your standards, you'll collapse.

It's not dredging at all, but a dam bursting.

When I established the belief of self-cultivation before, it was only limited defense penetration, but now it feels like unlimited fire.

If he could go back to two months ago, Shen Santong would like to say this to himself back then.

Be brave and do it, it feels great.

wrong.

Yes, run, silly boy.

Fortunately, tomorrow is the main creative meeting of "Red Cliff".

The project has been fully launched, and you can numb yourself with work.

Preparations for "Red Cliff" have begun, and various props, set designs, and real-scene construction have been completed. In another 20 to 30 days, it should be all completed and filming can begin.

Starting tomorrow, the "Red Cliff" project will enter the fast lane. After the actors' scenes are shot and the post-production period is about a year, the first part will be released.

The first part is the preparation stage for the Battle of Red Cliffs, and the special effects shots are concentrated on "Borrowing Arrows with Thatched Boats". Compared with the second part, there are much fewer special effects shots.

The plot of the second part focuses on the Battle of Red Cliffs, with a large number of special effects shots, as many as more than 900.

Even though a lot of work has already been done, the second part will not be completed until 09.

This is already the fastest speed. Shen Santong’s management level is also good, which is why he can achieve this speed.

It took him four years to make two films, which was time-consuming and laborious, but the profit was not as much as that from his comedies.

When Shen Santong thought of this, he suddenly felt better.

He did it for the film industry and so that the audience could have a good meal.

It’s okay to give up huge profits and indulge yourself a little in your private life.

He avoided people, never forced himself to exercise, and never used any equipment or props.

Liuwei Dihuang Pills and essential oils do not count.

Alcohol and sex are harmful to your health. Start quitting drinking from tomorrow!
Gao Lu woke up slowly, got up, and casually put on Shen Santong's long gown.

After washing up, I came to the living room and saw Shen Santong writing at the desk. I was shocked.

Even if you are successful in your career, you still work hard.

He is worthy of being the king of commercial films, and it is no accident that he has achieved what he has today.

Shen Santong heard the noise and quietly closed the diary: "You are up, there is breakfast on the table, in the incubator."

Gao Lu hugged him from behind, resting his head on his shoulder, and asked curiously, "Are you busy with work? The main creative meeting of Red Cliff?"

She is not eligible to participate in tomorrow's creative meeting. Shen Santong's film project is strictly managed.

This is especially true for "Red Cliff", where discipline is very demanding.

She played a maid and had only one line and very few scenes.

It is a functional role, with no character arc and no need for one.

We join the crew for shooting on time and leave when the shooting is finished. It will be completed in three or four days.

Only important characters are eligible to participate in the preliminary creative conference.

Shen Santong nodded and said thoughtfully, "Yes, I will be busy tomorrow. This is my first time directing a big movie, so I am a little nervous."

Gao Lu saw him frowning and said distressedly: "You can do it."

Seeing her pitiful look, Shen Santong said, "I'm still a little nervous, can you help me?"

Gao Lu was puzzled: "How can I help you?"

Shen Santong lifted her gown. November 11.

Shen Santong convened a creative meeting.

The main actors only account for a small part, the big part is behind the scenes.

There are nearly twenty producers and assistant directors, as well as external relations, stage management, life, actors, on-site, exterior scenes, real scenes, special effects, props, etc. Each department has a corresponding person in charge.

More important departments like external relations, props and special effects have more related personnel.

Before filming starts, not only do the actors have to rehearse, but there is even more work to do behind the scenes.

Refine the shooting plan, make a good schedule, and unify the management of training.

Shen Santong learned the lesson of "The Promise" and made sufficient preparations.

The play has a maximum of more than 2,000 extras, and the daily expenses for labor alone are over 600,000 yuan. Taking into account accommodation, food, and commuting, the daily expenses are over one million.

Only after good preparation can you have peace of mind after filming begins.

From the outside, the filming of "Red Cliff" has not yet started.

But from a creative perspective, the "Red Cliff" project has entered a comprehensive breakthrough phase.

Shen Santong said to the main creators: "We are doing a great cause in the history of Chinese film."

"We want to create a precedent for historical blockbusters. Before and after Red Cliff, costume blockbusters will have different definitions."

"Before that, it was Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, Hero, House of Flying Daggers, The Promise, The Banquet, Seven Swords. These..."

"After this, we will rewrite the period piece and create a new genre of historical piece."

"The audience will be amazed that our ancient dramas and costume dramas can be like this."

"This is a film that will be the story of all of us, both on and off the stage."

“We must do it well, and we can do it well!”

Shen Santong spoke in a very high tone.

This is a mobilization meeting. He does not need to use overly exaggerated language. Actual performance is the best endorsement.

The best proof is that he took away 420 million worth of stones half a month ago.

Interests are only the bottom line; only the call of ideals can make people devote themselves wholeheartedly.

Even in the chaotic entertainment industry, few people can refuse the opportunity to leave their names in film history.

What's more, Shen Santong has proved himself many times that he can do it.

After the general mobilization meeting, the main creative meeting will be held after the opening.

Then Shen Santong held a meeting with the actors and creators.

Director Chen, Feng Yuanzheng, Zhou Jie, Lu Yi, Huang Xiaoming, Wu Jing and others were present.

Cao Cao, Liu Bei, Zhuge Liang, Zhou Yu, Sun Quan and Zhao Yun are all the protagonists of the Battle of Red Cliffs.

Shen Santong made a joke first: "Don't blame me for not having a female lead with an important role. There has never been such a thing in history."

"According to history, there can be beauties, but they cannot affect the main plot. If a plot is about a woman dying or living, it is definitely not the Three Kingdoms."

Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but laugh.

The people present here have more or less status in the circle, have extensive connections, are well-informed, and know who Shen Santong is calling.

Wu Yusen's "Red Cliff" next door first caused Zou Jingzhi, who was known as "China's No. 1 screenwriter", to run away.

They also forced out Lu Wei, a famous editor in the industry. Lu Wei's representative work was "Farewell My Concubine" directed by Kaizi Ge.

I heard that director Wu Yusen’s wife wrote the script herself and used a newcomer from Wandao as the female lead.

Since everyone here is an actor from mainland China, I can only say that this operation is very much like that of a Hong Kong or Taiwan director.

Shen Santong said: "Red Cliff is generally a story about ingenious strategies and great ambitions. It is a story about an epic war."

"The Three Kingdoms is a heroic historical perspective, or the way ancient history is recorded is written according to the heroic historical perspective. It is difficult for ordinary people to enter history."

"So the main actors have a heavy task, they have to act well and show their heroic spirit."

Shen Santong's "Red Cliff" has three levels of story.

Just to clarify, I made some changes and still let Yan Ni play Mrs. Gan.

I checked the information again. Madam Gan was the concubine taken in by the emperor's uncle in 194. The Battle of Red Cliff took place fourteen years later, in 208. According to the marriage age at that time, she was at least years old, and possibly more than years old.

Tang Yan was born in 83, 06, 23 years old, even if she has the appearance of a queen, it is not very suitable. She does not look like an ancient person who has given birth to a child.

So I changed it back.

Thank you to the book friends who reminded me. After the revision, the chapter that reminded me in the message disappeared, so I apologize.

As for Feng Yuanzheng, he is actually quite handsome. However, after An Jiahe, he hasn’t had any good roles, only weird and marginal ones.

It is impossible for the author to satisfy everyone, so he can only do his best. It is written as if it is true.
