New Age Artists

Chapter 432: Collect the right to speak and move forward! (33)

Half a month ago, Ning Hao also attended the premiere of Shen Santong's "Red Cliff".

The colleagues who were once so friendly are now just being polite.

He couldn't even find actors for his new play, and Xu Zheng and Huang Bo declined both offers.

Zhong Fangli glanced at Li Ming and said to Ning Hao, "Let's go over there. Director Han said that Shen Santong really doesn't care."

Hearing this, Ning Hao felt mixed emotions, not knowing whether to be happy or sad.

Li Ming said: "Wait, there are too many people, let's wait a while."

Ning Hao took a look and found that he couldn't get close.

There are too many people around Shen Santong.

Zhong Fangli talked about the rumors she heard: "Shen Santong's play has a great influence, and some senior leaders like it very much."

Li Mingdao said: "Wu Yusen's filming was too shallow. He learned from foreign films and interpreted anti-war as a theme of the Three Kingdoms War."

When it comes to the Three Kingdoms, everyone can talk about it.

Ning Hao also nodded: "The key words of the Three Kingdoms are heroes, heroes, and competition. This should be the most basic and most widely understood."

“We can discuss the end of dynasties, discuss family politics, and focus on the common people.”

"The only thing missing is peace, and it has nothing to do with anti-war."

"The subject matter is totally different and unrelated."

Zhong Fangli said: "A play like Red Cliff is already very well-known."

"The story of the Three Kingdoms is already very familiar to East Asian audiences. They are so familiar with it that they know every important character and every important battle."

"Red Cliff is the battle that opened the Three Kingdoms period and is well-known to everyone."

"Rather than saying that we need celebrities to add luster to the Battle of Red Cliff, we should say that celebrities are here to take advantage of the Three Kingdoms."

"We don't need Liang Chaowei and Takeshi Kaneshiro to carry the box office. They can't do it either."

Li Ming said: "It should be to attract investment."

Ning Hao said: "Shen Santong proved that you don't need big stars to be a hit. The more important thing about the play Red Cliff is the subject matter itself."

Zhong Lifang said: "That's Shen Santong after all. Not everyone has his confidence."

Ning Hao said: "Yes, I also need Huang Bo and Xu Zheng to attract investment for my new play, and I will use the original cast of the Crazy series."

As he spoke, Ning Hao couldn't help but feel a bit resentful.

Almost a year after leaving, Shen Santong is still Shen Santong. He is so powerful that he can even defeat Wu Yusen.

Instead, Ning Hao was having trouble with everything and was no longer as high-spirited as before.

Li Ming changed the subject: "Wu Yusen doesn't want to direct, so he will be the producer of the new play."

Zhong Lifang changed the subject: "The pattern can't be too big. If it's too big, I'm afraid he won't be able to control it."

Ning Hao laughed in his heart, and said it as if he could restrain Wu Yusen.

Even though Wu Yusen was defeated by Shen Santong, his status is still there.

It feels like the mouse tying a bell for the cat.

Li Ming said: "Let's go over and take a look, and test Shen Santong's rules. He has already won a great victory, so there is no need to be aggressive."

Li Ming took Ning Hao and Zhong Lifang over, one on the left and one on the right.

It was found that there were fewer people around Shen Santong, but he was obviously communicating with reporters.

Still can’t get close!

Han Sanping, who was holding Shen Santong's shoulders, said: "Red Cliff fills the gap in historical blockbusters, showing the beauty of traditional Chinese culture, and its production level is close to the world standard."

"We have achieved both social and economic benefits!"

"Let our first hero answer everyone's questions."

A reporter asked: "Director Shen, what do you think of the success of Red Cliff?"

Shen Santong talked about the past: "During the main creative meeting, I told the main creators that we are doing a great cause in the history of Chinese film."

Han Sanping was slightly startled. Shen Santong was too arrogant!
I thought he had become more stable, but it seems that was just an illusion.

After the release of Red Cliff, his temper and tone did escalate.

The reporters were also surprised. Shen Santong was not modest at all.

Shen Santong said: "I promised at the time that we would be the first to make a historical blockbuster."

“Before and after Red Cliff, the definition of a costume blockbuster would be different.”

"After Red Cliff, historical blockbusters should return to history itself."

“Explore the charm of our history. History itself has great charm.”

"I said at the project launch conference three years ago that one of the main characteristics of our history is its authenticity."

"They fit together perfectly, are closely linked, and can be mutually verified."

"Take the invention and promotion of paper as an example. As the production cost decreased, our literacy rate in writing increased significantly."

"Just writing? No."

"There is also paper cutting, which is a cultural product. There is also window paper, which we use to paste windows and allows a certain degree of light transmittance."

“The application of paper permeates every aspect of life.”

“It’s like a stone falling into the water, creating beautiful ripples.”

"In order to write, we studied paper to the extreme. After a thousand years, it can be washed with water and it will not rot. It can still look like new."

"The ink has also reached its peak. Black ink is non-corrosive and can be preserved for thousands of years. Mineral pigments used in paintings will not change color for thousands of years."

"I'm not targeting anyone. Just look around the world and see how many important documents can still be kept in their original form after a hundred years."

Shen Santong is not targeting anyone, they are all garbage.

The original copy of the U.S. Declaration of Independence has been corroded by the ink used at the time, and many of the words are empty because the paper the ink was attached to has been corroded. The people who wrote the Declaration of Independence were all big slave owners at the time, and the ink they used must have been of the best quality at the time.

That's it?

At this level?

Until the 18th century, the West had not yet learned how to make non-corrosive ink from pine soot, which China had learned thousands of years ago.

Papyrus is even more of a joke. Is it of any use in life?

The parchment scroll is even more of a joke. Sheepskin is such a precious thing, it would be worse to carve words on a wooden board.

Shen Sandong said: "Only truth has power, vitality and penetrating power."

“It’s like the Armageddon series of movies. Many years later, when we watch them again, they still look as good as new.”

“Art can only be discussed if it has vitality. Without vitality and vigor, there is no point in talking about art.”

The previous life's "Red Cliff" is a good example.

It was very lively at the time, but there was no sound afterwards.

The same is true for "Man Jiang Hong", with such a high box office, it overwhelms "The Wandering Earth 2".

There were no memes revealed when the film was released.

The box office and cultural impact don’t match up.

I really don’t know where the box office revenue comes from!
When the reporter heard him mention "The Decisive Battle", he thought of Shen Santong's film and asked, "Director Shen, 'Changshan Snake' has become a hot word on the Internet."

"Because your portrayal of Cao Cao in Red Cliff paid tribute to Chiang Kai-shek in The Great Battle."

"Director Wu's Red Cliff also has the Changshan Long Snake Formation. Many netizens joked that you broke the Changshan Long Snake Formation. What do you think?"

Shen Sandong said: "I think this is the vitality of a good movie, which can create a cultural phenomenon."

"As for the audience's interpretation, the film has already been made and is for the audience to interpret."

Shen Santong had never thought of this plot when he was making "Red Cliff", but it somehow came across well.

In Wu Yusen's "Red Cliff", Zhuge Liang commented on Zhou Yu's formation: This is the Changshan Long Snake Formation, but unfortunately this formation is outdated.

Then Shen Santong used Cao Cao to play a trick on Chiang Kai-shek.

The Changshan Snake arrangement is a common formation used by the Kuomintang.

Shen Santong's "Red Cliff" crushed Wu Yusen's "Red Cliff" and inexplicably corresponded to the Liberation War of that year.

The two versions of "Red Cliff" are precisely a struggle between two different values.

Of course, the reporter's words were very tactful.

Netizens gave Wu Yusen the nickname "stank tones, fun of foolish talk".

One by one.

What a coincidence!

Not intentional design.

Shen Santong said: "Chiang Kai-shek and Cao Cao are not completely contrasting, but from the perspective of the movie, there will be some funny moments."

“I like to add more humor to a film when it doesn’t affect the structure of the film.”

"Including Zhao Yun and Adou's battle through Changbanpo, I think many viewers have already grasped the information I gave."

"The two of them are killing indiscriminately. Ah Dou is responsible for the killing indiscriminately, while Zhao Yun is responsible for the killing indiscriminately."

“All designs are based on movie considerations. My movies don’t contain metaphors.”

"I don't like metaphors, and I don't like using movies and TV shows to persuade others or anything like that."

"The Shu Han was an idealistic group in history, but ultimately they did not win."

"But 1,700 years later, an idealistic group succeeded and won."

"It has washed away all the humiliation and filth, the accumulated sins and dirt of modern history."

“From an agricultural country, we became an industrial country without relying on plunder and colonization.”

"This is unprecedented in history. The industrialization of all industrial countries was achieved through plunder and colonization."

"Rather than saying I want to compare Cao Cao to Chiang Kai-shek, I would rather say I am grateful to this idealistic group that has led us to stand up straight and have sovereignty."

Shen Santong made no secret of his position.

Shen Santong waved his hand, called Guo Fan, Wen Muye, and Lu Yang over, and announced: "Locomotive Film Company, in cooperation with China Film, will jointly launch the Three Kingdoms series of historical blockbusters."

"Two projects have been drawn up, Cao Cao and Zhuge Liang."

"I will co-direct these two films with three new generation directors, and I will be the nominal producer, and Mr. Han will be the producer."

boom!
The reporter exploded.

This news was sudden, but also expected.

"Red Cliff" connects the historical blockbusters, so it's natural to move forward, but the pace is too fast.

Shen Santong glanced and saw Ning Hao in the corner, and nodded slightly.

Ning Hao looked at Guo Fan and the other two with complicated eyes.

Shen Santong has figured it out. Forcibly saving someone who refuses to listen and intervening in the cause and effect of others will only lay a huge threat to his future self.

Goodness that does not distinguish between good and evil is an accomplice of evil.

It is his destiny to do thundering things with a heart of a bodhisattva.

Just do your own thing honestly and watch the wind and clouds rise.

The goal has been set, and he will stride forward with determination, overcoming all difficulties. No matter those who go in the opposite direction, cannot keep up, or betray him, they cannot stop his steps.

Take a step forward!
