Chapter 420 Tribute to the classics! Wu Yusen is a SB! (33)

Old Xu couldn't help laughing either.

The classic "The Final Battle" is reproduced!
The key is reasonable!
Think about it, it is possible that Cao Cao was really so confident in history.

Even viewers who had not seen “The Final Battle” laughed along.

Everyone laughed, and that was all that was left to do.

Looking at Director Chen, his serious and confident look is also very funny.

The pace gets faster as you go along.

When the last salvo of arrows was fired, Old Xu heard a cry of surprise.

asphyxia!

It's so real, it feels like an arrow is about to fly out.

The key points are well laid out. The soldiers operating the ship feel nervous and have various subtle reactions.

Although I knew that borrowing arrows from a straw boat would be successful, I was still nervous about it.

The movie ends and subtitles appear.

Old Xu looked at his notebook and only wrote down the key words at the beginning.

There were only a few words left in his mind.

Texture!

real!

Thick!

Have power!
The female characters are very eye-catching.
In mainly male-oriented and war-oriented dramas, female beauty and beautiful scenery are a kind of spice.

Moreover, the female characters who have the most screen time, Xiao Qiao, Sun Shangxiang and Madam Gan, have screen time of no more than two minutes at most, which does not affect the main storyline.

Desserts, very delicious desserts.

The heroic spirit of Cao Cao, Liu Bei, Zhou Yu, Zhuge Liang and Sun Quan also came out.

In addition to heroes, there is also the role of family background.

You can feel that being a hero is only temporary, but family background can have a lasting influence.

After Liu Biao died, the Jingzhou Group directly sidelined Liu Cong.

There are also ordinary people and people's livelihood, and the farming scenes in Sun Wu's land are also given.

This shows that Sun Wu’s victory was not accidental, but the result of the agricultural center shifting to the south.

This play has many layers and contains a lot of information.

Old Xu looked at his watch. It was a little over two hours.

The preparation is a little slow in the early stage, but it gets faster and faster in the later stage.

The information content is completely like that of a Hollywood blockbuster. Even if you know the history, you still feel overwhelmed.

At the same time, after watching the first part, you will know that Cao Cao is doomed to fail.

Starting from the temple calculation, it failed step by step.

The Battle of Red Cliffs had not yet reached its final battle, but the outcome was already determined.

This kind of destiny is not a known answer in history. Shen Santong let the audience understand the answer through the movie.

Old Xu was very convinced by the reasons given.

Shen Santong’s “Red Cliff” is really exciting.

It satisfies the unique pleasure of Chinese people.

The more epic the picture is, the more historical resonance it has, the more exciting it is!

History itself is exciting. Why were previous costume blockbusters not exciting? Because the directors did not understand history.

Shen Santong obviously understands a lot!
It was so cool! It was so explosive! It was so cool!
clap clap!

The applause in the theater lasted for more than five minutes, and it never stopped!
Many people cheered loudly!
Guest seats.

Wang Jing felt complicated as he listened to the applause that almost blew the roof off.

He has been observing the reactions of the audience.

There were many things that he couldn't understand, but it was obvious that the mainland audiences found it very exciting.

after the end.

After hearing such a long period of applause and cheers, he knew that Shen Santong's play was going to be a success.

Wu Yusen stumbled.

When we were competing for the subject matter of "Red Cliff" back then, we never thought that Shen Santong would grow so fast, be able to manage such a large crew, and perform so strongly.

Wang Jing understood the general content of Wu's version of "Red Cliff", but it was obvious that it was not filmed well.

The main theme is wrong.

"Red Cliff" is about defeating the majority with the minority.

One of the most famous battles in history where a smaller force defeated a larger one.

The strength of the two sides is very different. The key point is how to win when the enemy outnumbers us or even in desperate situations.

It requires a lot of preparation and plot design, and it is impossible to be confident right from the start.

Wu Yusen's version was shot with a known victory perspective.

Without tension, without pressure, there would be no excitement.

At the end of the first part of Shen Santong's version, after borrowing arrows from a straw boat, Zhuge Liang and Zhou Yu both drank.

The joy could be felt through the screen, but Wu Yusen had no such emotion at all.

Wang Jing felt it was a pity.

Wu Yusen's drama is not bad among many costume blockbusters. There are some problems with Zhuge Liang in the script, but they are just minor flaws.

Unfortunately, it coincided with the same subject matter as Shen Santong, and it was inevitable that it would be defeated.

In this way, the right to speak on costume blockbusters will shift from Hong Kong directors to Shen San Tong.

Originally, Chen Kexin could have held on for a while, as The Warlords was a good film and made money for China Film.

But it's obviously not possible to just make money directly from "Martial Arts".

Wang Jing felt that his colleagues in Hong Kong were really having a hard time.

Back to the mentality before 97, to make a quick buck and run. Xu Ke was extremely shocked!

Staring at the screen for a long time, unable to come back to my senses.

The overall picture and sound effects of the giant screen are not as good as IMAX, but they are much better than ordinary cinemas.

Obviously, Shen Santong made special adaptation and adjustment to "Red Cliff" very well.

Xu Ke wanted to make a movie on the Three Kingdoms theme since 95.

His ideal candidates at that time were Li Lianjie as Zhao Yun, Liu Dehua as Zhou Yu, Zhou Xingchi as Kong Ming, Guan Zhilin as Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao, and Li Jiaxin.

After seeing the photos taken by Shen Santong, he felt that he might not be able to take the photo.

The texture of the film is so strong and the special effects are so realistic that it is close to the level of Hollywood ten years ago.

enough.

There are no traces of special effects in many places.

The control over details is very strong. When a certain soundtrack ("Guanxianyue") sounded, it was so satisfying to hear the people who followed Liu Bei to escape that it was really heart-wrenching.

I felt the sense of history coming upon me, thousands of years of history, of farmers walking on the edge of hunger, cold and knife edge.

But power is not just something that exists in vain, whether it is China's history, the power of workers and peasants, or the defeat of Cao Cao in the movie.

If it weren't for those bad reputations, Cao Cao's ambitions would not have been so difficult.

This force returned to calmness at its climax, but it did not end.

Every frame of the beautiful scenery in the movie is beautiful.

Especially the scenes where the allied forces of Sun and Liu marched north and Cao Cao's army marched south, in the midst of a murderous atmosphere.

It might have been shot with a helicopter or some other device, and the result is extremely stunning.

The applause died down a bit, and Jingwei said, "It seems that everyone likes the movie very much. Welcome our director and the main creators."

Shen Santong and the main creators stood up.

The applause lasted another three minutes!
Jingwei asked Shen Santong: "Director Shen, when I watched the movie, I felt that it contained a lot of information."

"There are not only heroes, but also ordinary people farming. What do you think of the Battle of Red Cliffs?"

Shen Santong: "I believe that history is materialistic. The victory or defeat of a war is not just a matter of inspiration from a general, but also has a deeper material basis."

"The reason why the few defeated the many in the Battle of Red Cliffs was that the agricultural center shifted from the Yellow River Basin to the Yangtze River Basin."

"The transformation of the natural environment and the improvement of farming tools have enabled the South to produce more food and feed more people. This is the fundamental reason why the Sun-Liu alliance was able to win."

"From a film perspective, giving the film some footage related to the agricultural economy will make the film more layered and seem more realistic."

Jingwei said: "I think the plot of the movie is different from that of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and "Three Kingdoms". How do I choose?"

Shen Santong said: "It is only based on the Romance of the Three Kingdoms and history that makes it real, reliable and powerful."

"In terms of creation, I generally follow the Romance of the Three Kingdoms because it is widely circulated and accepted by everyone."

"But since it's a movie, it can't be too dramatic. It will seem unreal and fake."

"I discarded some of the false ones that affected the presentation of the film."

"Some of them, such as the debate among scholars and borrowing arrows from a thatched boat, were appropriately retained."

"The story of borrowing arrows from a straw boat was related to Sun Quan in history, and had nothing to do with Wu Hou. However, in order to shape Wu Hou's image and make his character more eye-catching, it was given to Wu Hou."

"Of course, I didn't weaken Zhou Yu. He is not a petty and jealous character."

"He is a true hero who is open-minded, courageous and resourceful."

Jing Wei took the opportunity to ask Zhou Jie, who played Zhuge Liang, and Lu Yi, who played Zhou Yu.

Then he turned the topic back to Shen Santong: "Director Shen, I feel that Zhou Yu and Wu Hou are a pair of strong teams. Do you have any special design for this?"

Shen Santong admitted: "In the historical Battle of Red Cliff, Zhou Yu was the protagonist, and Wu Hou's role was not as important as Zhou Yu's."

"As for actors, Zhou Jie has better acting skills and more explosive power."

"Lu Yi's acting skills are a little bit worse, but the history is a bonus, so there is a balance."

Jingwei teased Lu Yi that his acting skills still had room for improvement, and then asked, "I think Cao Cao also made a special plan?"

Shen Santong said: "Yes, it is also explained in the movie that before the Battle of Red Cliff, Cao Cao unified the north and was very powerful."

"In fact, this play has two dual-power structures, Zhou Yu and Zhuge Liang of the Sun-Liu coalition, one is the other."

"Then the Sun-Liu coalition and Cao Cao formed a two-power situation again."

Jingwei said: "I see there are other characters that were referenced?"

Shen Santong: "The design of the transport captain in "The Great Battle" also pays tribute to him."

Jingwei asked Director Chen Ming: "When Mr. Chen accepted this role, did Director Shen tell him that this role also has a comedic side?"

Director Chen Ming said: "I said that when I first received the audition, I was very happy. But when I heard about this arrangement, my original joy of acting in a big movie disappeared all of a sudden."

Jingwei asked in surprise: "Teacher Chen also wants to audition?"

Director Chen Ming said: "Director Shen is very strict, otherwise the movie wouldn't be so good."

Jingwei asked Shen Santong: "Director Shen, who is your favorite character in Red Cliff?"

Shen Santong: "Basically everyone likes him. For example, Sun Quan will have a high historical reputation."

"We held on at the critical moment. If a mediocre person were in power, he would have most likely surrendered directly."

"Xiao Ming acted very well, showing his bravery and decisiveness."

Jingwei asked: "What's your favorite?"

Shen Santong smiled and said, "Of course it's Wu Hou."

"I have always said that the history of the Three Kingdoms was brilliant and popular because of Shu Han."

"In reality, Wu Hou exists like a god in many parts of our country, and even in some foreign countries, he has an important influence."

"Including today, we are in Wuhou District, not far from the Wuhou Temple, where the emperor and his subjects are offering sacrifices together. I think we can't joke about Wuhou."

When Old Xu heard what he said, he couldn't help but yelled, "Wu Yusen, you idiot!"

I remembered several similar sounds again.

"Wu Yusen is a jerk!"

Jingwei was dumbfounded.

Shen Santong was also surprised. Did he ask for a favor?
