Halo of cheating in the entertainment industry

Chapter 359: Discussing the Gains and Losses

Su Li was right, he did go to get Buddhist scriptures this time

The movie Zhang Yimou is currently filming is "Jinling Thirteen Hairpins". This movie has an investment of 600 million yuan. In fact, after excluding some water, the investment will not be much less than "Inception". 5 Read the latest chapter of this book

Su Li himself has watched "The Thirteen Hairpins". Strictly speaking, it can still be considered a good movie, but there are some values ​​and other aspects in it that people don't agree with. On the other hand,

Issues such as the selection of filming subjects also made people doubt the film.

But no matter what, this movie is indeed very good. Zhang Yimou's level is still there. Although many people have doubted it, he can still produce something.

Although "The Thirteen Hairpins" has flaws, it is generally a good movie. Su Li will now go find Zhang Yimou and hear his thoughts.

Su Li came to visit the crew of "Jinling Thirteen Hairpins" after roughly revising the first version of the script. In fact, he came at the wrong time.

Because he felt that it was already June 23 when he came here, just in time for the filming of "Jinling Thirteen Hairpins" to be finished. Zhang Yimou would leave soon after Su Li came here. But also because he was here, Su Li also saw it

The scenery of "The Thirteen Beauties of Jinling".

This is a large set made of broken bricks and tiles. The crew filmed inside the built church, while Su Li was walking on the street outside.

This place has been set up as a real battlefield, with broken walls and scattered tiles that have not been completely cleaned up. It will not be cleared until the entire movie is shot, because there may be a few reshoots on the spur of the moment.

.

The war scenes in "The Thirteen Hairpins" can be said to be a glimpse, but they also look extremely gorgeous. The war scenes full of tension, the sound of gunshots are heart-pounding sobs, which makes people unable to put it down. This book

The latest and fastest update of the book comes from u58. The battlefield here is very well set up. Although some of it has been cleaned up now, the remaining things can still be seen as things that once existed here.

Su Li waited until they finished filming. After Zhang Yimou was busy going in and out for a long time, and it was already late, he finally had some time to talk to Zhang Yimou at about 11 o'clock in the evening. At this time, he also watched a lot of "Jinling Thirteen"

Some information about the filming process of "The Hairpin".

This is what Zhang Yimou specially asked Su Li to watch. Although Su Li has made some well-received and blockbuster movies before, including commercial blockbusters such as "Inception", he has never made a war movie before.

"Inception" involves a little bit of gunplay and chases, but it's just a scaly claw. If he wants to make a war movie from beginning to end, he still needs more accumulation.

The information on many war scenes and some data records in "The Thirteen Hairpins" made Su Li fascinated and knew that many of the war scenes in this movie were shot that way.

He kept thinking in his mind about how he should shoot it, and how he should handle the war scenes in "The Country is Broken" after adding the three-dimensional film shooting techniques, and how he should combine it with special effects to highlight the three-dimensional effect.

These materials provide a certain reference for Su Li, and there are even some video materials that are more valuable for reference. Although "The Thirteen Hairpins" is not a 3-movie, there are many things in common among them.

Therefore, when Zhang Yimou finally came and sat down next to Su Li, Su Li also gained a lot and had some plans on how he should shoot.

Su Li was looking at some information and acting a little in his mind, and at this time, Zhang Yimou walked in. Now there was a kind of exhaustion that could not be concealed on his face, and at the same time there was a sense of relief. After all,

This movie, which took a long time and used too much of his energy, has finally come to an end. With a result, he felt a lot lighter. The latest and fastest update of this book comes from u58. Although it is said that

It will still be quite some time before "The Thirteen Beauties" will officially become a movie, but the most important part of the filming has passed, and the rest of it will be much easier than filming.

"You may have been waiting for a long time." Zhang Yimou said, "But you also know that you can't escape the final day. There are a lot of things wrapped around you." Zhang Yimou said apologetically, and then sat down with Su

On the stool next to Li.

"It's okay." Su Li said: "I saw a lot of things after reading this information... This made me know some things, so I won't be blinded like at the beginning." This piece of information really made Su Li learn something from it.

They talked about a lot of things. When he talked to Zhang Yimou, he rarely used any unnecessary politeness. Basically, he talked about things and talked very little nonsense.

Zhang Yimou smiled and said: "I specially left some of these data for you when we were filming. Now you are also preparing to shoot your "The Country is Broken, Mountains and Rivers Are Here", I think it should be of some use."

Su Li knew that Zhang Yimou was telling the truth, and he could not help but feel a little warm in his heart. To be honest, Zhang Yimou was really good to him. From his help at the beginning, to his real teaching in "The Love of the Hawthorn Tree", he allowed himself

Benefited a lot.

Now, he deliberately left some things for himself. Although he couldn't say that he had good intentions, he did put a lot of effort into it.

Su Li did not say any polite words of thanks, but nodded. There was no need for so many polite words between the two of them. Su Li said: "Teacher, how did it feel to make this movie? Is it very stressful?"

"The Thirteen Hairpins" is a film that Zhang Yimou has been preparing for more than three years. This long preparation time alone is long enough, not to mention the difficult filming. The investment in this film is so large, and these grand scenes are meticulous.

The nuanced plot is very challenging. Until now, Zhang Yimou must be exhausted.

"The pressure is indeed great." Zhang Yimou said with a wry smile: "Every time I make a movie, the pressure is astonishing. You must have a similar experience, and your experience may be deeper than mine. Just from this "Jinling Thirteen"

For "The Hairpin", when the last shot ended, I really wanted to lie down completely on the ground and never get up again. But there is still a long way to go before the filming is over and the movie can be played on the big screen. I can't go there yet.

sleep……"

Zhang Yimou did become more and more tired as he spoke, and the bitter smile on his face became more and more serious. To be honest, this movie really put a lot of pressure on him.

"Yeah." Su Li nodded with deep sympathy and said, "I think so."

"Making this movie...actually I do not have enough confidence. I am not completely relieved to make a blockbuster again, and it is a movie with such a large investment." Zhang Yimou said: "Movies during the Anti-Japanese War...anyway

, there are always things that cannot be avoided... To be honest, I was ready to be scolded. When I heard that you directly invested 100 million US dollars in "Inception", I was really shocked by you, but now,

I have already invested this amount in my own movie... I was scared by myself. Although I told the outside world that I believed I could recover the cost, I really didn't know what I was doing."

Su Li smiled. Zhang Yimou said in front of the media that he was very confident that he could recoup the cost of "Thirteen Beauties of Jinling", but now he did not hide anything and directly expressed his worries. Even if it were Su Li

Li, it's impossible to have complete confidence in yourself under this situation. That's not tens of thousands of dollars, but hundreds of millions.

But since Zhang Yimou said that, it is impossible for him to have no reaction. Zhang Yimou had a very strong record before, that is, no movie has ever made investors lose money, and now the investment in "Jinling Thirteen Hairpins" is so

Whether the cost can be recovered, Su Li has no answer in his heart, but at least he has to be forgiving to Zhang Yimou.

Therefore, Su Li said: "Don't worry... You have never lost money when making a movie before, and I believe it will be the same this time. I have also read the novel "The Thirteen Beauties of Jinling", and it is indeed very good.

As for movies, with your skills there will never be any problems... You can rest assured that you can recoup the cost, maybe mainland China can recoup the cost through box office."

Zhang Yimou also laughed: "Thank you for your words. In fact, not many people say that the box office of this movie can recover the cost. Is the main theme movie you are going to make an adaptation of an online novel?"

"Yes, it is a novel describing the bloody battles of the Eighth Route Army soldiers during the Anti-Japanese War..."

Zhang Yimou nodded and said: "I took a look at what online novels are a few days ago. Online novels are different from traditional novels... Although they are essentially the same as movies, they also make money by entertaining the public, but because of the cost and time,

Due to the pressure, some novels may not be so jngyiqiujng in terms of quality.”

"I know this." Su Li nodded: "But the book I adapted has been reviewed many times by me...the quality is very good, the descriptions have some depth, and now it is just for this first draft of the script.

, I have been working on it for more than half a year...I think there shouldn't be any problem just from the quality of the script."

"Well, that's good." Zhang Yimou said: "You must know that whether it is my movie "Jinling Thirteen Hairpins" or yours "The Country Is Broken, Mountains and Rivers Are Here", the most fundamental problem is how to make the audience willing to watch the movie.

This needs to be something that attracts everyone…

...Otherwise, many people may run away from the label of Anti-Japanese War after seeing the main theme..." This problem is actually a major problem faced by modern domestic war films... On the one hand, it is the cold-blooded relevant departments, on the other hand, it is the picky audience...

"I know... my movie really needs to solve this problem... To be honest, my current popularity is okay, but I have to increase the box office of my movie to the level I want...

That is still far from enough, and many other solutions are needed." Su Li planned to discuss this issue with Zhang Yimou.
