I didn't want to be an actor

Chapter 464 How Can It Be That Fast (13)

The Legend of Shushan...

This movie is very Tsui Hark - his problem is "there are good sentences but no good chapters". Many of his movies are indeed amazing when you take out some sections individually. When you are young, they are full of youthful spirit, and the density of "good sentences" is relatively frequent, so when you watch the whole movie, you will ignore the major flaws in the overall structure.

As I get older, I come up with fewer and fewer good sentences, and the whole paragraph falls apart.

It is difficult to express ideas clearly and the theme structure is not good.

It is generally believed that the most amazing thing about "The Legend of Zu" is the vast sky and the overwhelming sword energy.

Shen Liang...I really think that the biggest failure of "Shushan" is that the struggle between good and evil is just for the sake of struggle. What's the meaning?

Why should we fight for it?
What are you fighting for?
And the special effects of "Shushan" are just like that...

Not unified enough!

The various special effects are of a weird style, with neither the pure and ethereal nature of Taoism nor the beautiful and mysterious style of traditional Chinese supernatural. It is a hodgepodge that is neither science fiction nor Taoist!
The design and shape of the monsters...

The blood demon and the blood skeletons at the beginning still have some Chinese style, but what are those monsters with the Zerg version of the Terminator that appeared in the middle of the game?
The play was over in seconds!
"Shushan" completely ruined Hong Kong's film aesthetics. The subsequent series of magic and fantasy blockbusters all tended to be Western aesthetics...

The Chaoge Castle and Cleopatra's nine-tailed fox in "Legend of the Gods"; the Western Warcraft version of Hades in "Zhong Kui Conquers the Demons";

Including Tsui Hark himself, he also tried his hand at the superhero fighting aliens in "The Thousand Faces of Dunjia".

Neither Chinese nor Western artistic aesthetics!
It makes people speechless...

But the fairy-hero temperament of "The Legend of Shushan" is still very good, with floating peaks, sword waterfalls chasing stars and moons, lotus flowers with rippling spiritual energy, and the clear sky mirror that clears away turbidity...

"And if we don't film it soon, Sammo Hung won't be able to play White Eyebrow anymore!"

Shi Nansheng thought about it and nodded: "…you should prepare the script first, and if it is suitable, I will take it!"

"Um…"

Nansun Shi is not only the woman behind Tsui Hark, she is also a gold medal producer. A lot of directors want to work with her. In addition to Tsui Hark's movies, she has also participated in "Flash Point", "Dragon Tiger Gate", "Infernal Affairs" series, "Overheard" series...

Without Tsui Hark, Shen Liang could have made "Shushan" by himself, but he couldn't do it without Nansun Shi, because many actors needed to be contacted through Nansun Shi to join...

……

"The Rumored Chen Qianqian" is a sweet drama with no popular starring actors, no big production, and no big IP.

Then it created a hot topic and high popularity, which surprised many people.

Because of the huge benefits it brought, the leading actor also ascended to heaven...

Zhao Lusi became a new popular star because of this drama.

It was indeed a success, and he later took on the role in "The Legend of Mi Yue", which was a top S+ project.

Originally, this matter had nothing to do with Shen Liang, and Liang Ge did not promote this drama on Weibo...

But she became famous, and then many people started to dig up her, digging out that she and Shen Liang had a CP relationship when she debuted, "Mars Intelligence Agency", and she had a close relationship with Shen Liang...

In Shen Liang's live broadcast room, many people asked about his relationship with Zhao Lusi, whether they had dated before and so on.

"…After The Coming One, I haven't had a romantic relationship. No, the paparazzi follow me 24 hours a day, so how can I have time for a romantic relationship?" "Lu Si is a contracted artist of Galaxy Cool Entertainment, which is the producer of Mars Intelligence Agency. I'm an old acquaintance of them... Naturally, I have a good relationship with Zhao Lu Si!"

"You have so many resources... I really admire you guys. She has acted in low-budget web dramas. "Your Majesty" and "Chen Qianqian" are both A-level productions..."

"What is a resource-rich person? It means that even though they are neither popular nor talented, they are still given a lot of resources. In short, it is just forced promotion. The main characteristics of a resource-rich person are: playing the leading role as soon as they debut, having a good cast, acting opposite big names, and having achievements that have nothing to do with resources... The most typical example is a second-generation director!"

Then the brother in the live broadcast room mentioned the traffic...

Shen Liang was happy: "How do you get to the top of the traffic? You first need to have works, and then be scolded. Being scolded is the explosion prevention of the fan circle, which means that it is enough to cause a threat, which means that there is a certain degree of popularity. Later, you can rely on works to attract a wave of passers-by fans. Once the works and roles are established, you will be completely promoted."

"I actually took the same approach. When the drama "Do You Know?" was criticized, I didn't even dare to read private messages on Weibo. I was defeated several times during that period. Then, I stabilized myself with a few works in a year!"

"Ruth is still a very cute little girl..."

"I...I'm currently preparing for "Zhou Chu"...After filming "Zhou Chu", I should return to BJ..."

"Just quarantine for 14 days, don't worry about me, just stay at home and exercise more..."

After a pause, Shen Liang continued: "Let me tell you something. I have always wanted to make "Shushan". I talked to director Tsui Hark about it. He should have some ideas too..."

As soon as these words were spoken, more and more comments appeared.

This is normal. "Zu Shan" has been closely linked to Tsui Hark. With these two films, "New Shu Shan Swordsman" and "Zu Shan Biography", Tsui Hark successfully made a name for himself in the circle of Chinese directors!
In 1983, he brought in the special effects team of "Star Wars" to produce "New Shushan Swordsman", and the production company Golden Harvest lost money to gain publicity. Tsui Hark's films instantly became the highest level of special effects in Hong Kong...

In recent years, there are more and more ancient costume fairy tale TV series, such as "Legend of Sword and Fairy", "Xuan-Yuan Sword", "Ancient Swordsman", "The Journey of Flower", "Eternal Love"...

But none of them can compare with "The Legend of Shushan" in terms of the temperament of immortal heroes...

So, when I heard that Shen Liang invited Tsui Hark to shoot "Shu Mountain" again, I immediately became excited!

Shen Liang looked at the comments and nodded, "Yes, "Swordsman of Shu Mountain"... is going to be made into a trilogy... It won't be a copy of the original. In the original, the righteous people are perfect and full of virtues. The occasional minor flaws are also to highlight the character's personality. The evil spirits are pure evil, killing and arson, greedy for money, and doing all kinds of evil... Moreover, the Emei Sect is overbearing and will kill entire families at any time..."

"I have an idea at the moment, but I can't tell you because it's related to the core of the trilogy..."

"When will it be filmed? The earliest will be next year..."

"You guys do the math. The trilogy will require at least 15 billion in investment. With such a large investment, we must find the money..."

"At present, this project is just a plan. It will definitely be filmed, but there is no clear plan on when to film it. I can only say that it will be as soon as possible."

"It will be released next year, how can it be so soon..."

"Preparation will take at least half a year, normal shooting will take three months, and post-production will take at least half a year... The official release will take at least two years... That is, in 2023..."

"Director Tsui Hark still has several projects on hand...Don't worry..."

“I will definitely take the photo.”

"Rou Ba? What does this have to do with Rou Ba? I... am not in a relationship with her... why don't you believe it?"

"We are just normal friends..."
