Chapter 576 577, Audition 3
Zhang Weiping regretted it!
He shouldn't have listened to Zhang Yimou and Jiang Zhiqiang and invited Sun Hao here.
Zhang Yimou: Even in Hollywood, Sun Hao's screenwriting ability is top-notch. It's good to invite him here and listen to his opinion on the script of "Hero".
Well, at least we can find out the shortcomings and fill them in!
Jiang Zhiqiang: In Hollywood, Sun Hao is very famous. Not only people in the circle think so, but even ordinary movie fans admit that the name [Sun Hao] is now a box office guarantee!
If Sun Hao is invited here and let him be named as a producer in the movie "Hero", then we will have box office in the North American film market.
Bullshit, it's all bullshit!
Because Sun Hao just sat down on the chair and immediately led the rhythm off. It's been an hour, and no one has mentioned "Hero", um..., including Zhang Yimou.
Fortunately, just when Zhang Weiping felt that his little universe was about to explode violently, he heard Sun Hao say with a smile:
"Director, I have disturbed you for so long, how about we talk about the movie "Hero"? "
"Oh..., OK!"
Zhang Yimou was a little embarrassed. He had invited Sun Hao to come here to talk about business, but before he started talking, the topic went off track.
As the director of "Hero", he had to rely on Sun Hao to bring the topic back, which was really wrong.
"Cough cough cough..."
Coughing to cover up the embarrassment, Zhang Yimou winked at Li Feng who was not far away.
"Teacher Li Feng, please talk to everyone about the script of "Hero" first."
"Yes!"
Li Feng, the first screenwriter of the crew, didn't say much. He agreed and stood up from his seat.
"Hello, director, hello, teachers!
As we all know, many martial arts blockbusters in China in the past were all about life-and-death battles for power.
And our martial arts movie called "Hero" interprets the concept of new martial arts from the perspective of form and meaning.
In the late Warring States period, King Qin Ying Zheng launched a war of conquest against various countries in order to unify the world..."
………
The time was very short, about half an hour, and Li Feng finished telling the story concisely.
I didn't look at Jet Li, Liang Chaowei, Zhang Manyu, and Zeng Li. When Li Feng sat down again, Zhang Yimou, Jiang Zhiqiang, Zhang Weiping and others turned their eyes to Sun Hao.
The meaning was very clear, tell me, what do you think of "Hero"?
Facing the eyes of several people, Sun Hao was speechless.
My buddy is just a tool man who comes to pick up his girlfriend, okay? !
We don't want to be like this!
After waiting for two minutes, Sun Hao not only had no intention of speaking, but also turned his head to the door, admiring the long legs of the waitress at the door of the conference room.
So, Zhang Yimou smiled.
"Haozi, tell me!
Tell me your truest thoughts on this movie script?"
"Didn't I talk to you through Zeng Li?"
"We talked, but we also revised it according to your opinions, and this is the sixth draft after we revised it." Zhang Yimou stood up and took the initiative to pour a cup of tea for Sun Hao.
This made Sun Hao feel a little flattered. Senior, don't you just want me to talk a little? In front of so many big-name actors, you are more than that?
"Well..."
After thinking about it, Sun Hao spoke.
"There are indeed not many dialogues in the movie script, because Chinese culture emphasizes enlightenment, saying that talking too much is useless, and understanding.
Besides, the movie will be supported by pictures, and many things do not need to be said, and the audience can understand.
Wuming is an assassin who meets the King of Qin because he killed the three assassins that the King of Qin was most worried about. He came to tell the King of Qin how he killed these three assassins.
The first one is Changkong. The place of duel should not have obvious colors, but there should be harps and zithers, and rain. After all, there are etiquette between warriors, which hints at the friendship between them.
In the end, Wuming won, winning by speed and skill.
Colorless, skillful, this is the first layer of the film script!
Then, the core of the film began, Wuming told how to kill the knights Canjian and Feixue.
According to the script, the location took place in the Red Zhao State Calligraphy Hall.
Calligraphy, the representative of Chinese culture, says that calligraphy and swordsmanship are connected, just like the previous duel with Changkong, the Chinese culture itself is about communication, everything is unified, and this communication depends on enlightenment.
………
Fuck!
Looking at the talk, Jiang Wen admired.
It's not that I admire Sun Hao's smoothness, but his flattery skills. Such a cultured and connotational flattery, let alone Zhang Yimou, one of the screenwriters.
Even Laozi can't bear it!
Hey...
The person who sighed was Zhang Manyu.
I originally thought that Er Dongsheng and Wang Jiawei were both very cultured directors in the circle, but now it seems that there is still a certain gap between them and Sun Hao.
As for the associative ability of a film director, Sun Hao is absolutely first-rate. In the script, there is only a short paragraph of fifteen words, but it is full of artistic conception when spoken from his mouth.
Haha…
The one who wants to laugh is Zhang Weiping.
It seems that the gamble of 30 million US dollars has paid off this time. Now, even the famous Hollywood director Sun Hao has seen a lot of content from this final draft of the film script.
Tsk tsk~
Shoot, shoot now!
Also, didn’t Zeng Li say that she wanted to play Ruyue? What’s the big deal for her? !
But unlike them, Zhang Yimou, who had a smile on his face at the beginning, became darker and darker as Sun Hao continued to speak.
In the end, the old comrade couldn't keep his smile anymore, so he knocked on the table with his hand.
"Dangdangdang..."
"Haozi, I know the advantages of this movie script, but can you talk about the shortcomings?
That's what you don't like. "
"No, everything is fine!"
Sun Hao spread his hands and shrugged.
"When filming "Yellow Earth", I was Director Kaige's photographer, and until now, we have a good relationship.
I heard that the movie "The Promise" he is currently preparing is short of a heroine. How about I recommend Zeng Li? Anyway, "Hero" will be picked up right after filming? "
"Hey, forget it, Director Kaige has very high requirements for actors' acting skills. Zeng Li may not be able to meet his requirements." Without going to see Zeng Li, Sun Hao directly refused this good thing for her.
"Hmm..." Zhang Yimou hesitated for a moment, turned to look at Zhang Weiping next to him, and then said:
"Although I still don't know what will be filmed after "Hero", but I can tell you very straightforwardly that Zeng Li will definitely be one of the heroines."
If Chen Kaige's "The Promise" didn't make Zeng Li too excited, it's because Sun Hao, who had read the script a long time ago, complained more than once and couldn't understand what he wrote?
However, now, Zhang Yimou's promise made Zeng Li very happy.
"Raise the Red Lantern", "Ju Dou", "Red Sorghum", "Qiu Ju's Lawsuit"... every movie the director has filmed can be recorded in history, not to mention being rated as domestic by Teacher Chang. The only movie that can be compared to "Farewell My Concubine" is "Alive".
Sun Hao didn't want to say anything about offending people, because there was no need to pretend!
Hello, hello, hello everyone, how wonderful is this happy and harmonious picture? !
But seeing Zeng Li's pitiful eyes, Sun Hao, who had always felt ashamed of her, softened his heart at this moment.
"Cough cough cough..."
After coughing twice and clearing his throat, Sun Hao continued: "Director, if I were an ordinary moviegoer in China, I would think..., well, how should I put it?
The structure is messed up, the designed pictures are all fake, and the plot is very nonsense.
All in all, I don’t know what Zhang Yimou is doing with these celebrities, taking photos or practicing dance? If you have something to say, talk about it. Why is the strong wind blowing sand and silk flying all over the sky..."
