So deep?

The studio is in Hengdian, and Zhang Guoshi is more familiar with the place than Shen Fang.

After all, it was his "Hero" that made Qin Palace popular in the first place.

"Assassination of Qin" was a hit. After the movie directed by Chen Da, the huge Qin Palace was almost full of fish.

However, "Hero" was released, not only ushering in the blockbuster era, but also making Qin Palace very popular among the film crew.

Basically, a costume drama was filmed here.

However, these are all things of the past and gone.

The current Zhang Guoshi is not the same as before, not only is he older.

Shen Fang gave Zhang Guoshi enough cards and invited him to dinner at the most upscale hotel in Hengdian.

It's just obvious that eating is not the focus.

"We talked about it before at Teacher Wu's memorial service."

"Um."

The national master raised his head, and Shen Fang also caught it. Of course he knew the movie he was referring to.

"The Great Wall".

However, Shen Fang is also a bit powerful. He didn't say much, he just picked up food and poured wine.

You have to let the Imperial Master eat and drink well.

However, Zhang Guoshi actually doesn't have a good appetite. He has been bad at eating for a long time. Looking at his thin face, he obviously has some illness.

So, I had to speak more directly.

"Many people have talked to me about that film, and many of them have mentioned you."

"Oh, is it so?"

"Yes, because you were quite successful in doing it before."

"Thank you, Teacher Zhang. We just hit it by mistake."

In fact, what we are talking about here is "The Richest Man in Xihong City". This movie can be regarded as a model for many filmmakers who want to cooperate with Hollywood.

Now Zhang Guoshi is filming "The Great Wall", which is a typical Sino-US co-production... Oh, fortunately, Guoshi doesn't like tactical retreat.

And Shen Fang's modesty was not actually modesty, at least Zhang Guoshi could tell.

"I think your model is very good, but sometimes should we make some breakthroughs?"

breakthrough?

This made Shen Fang somewhat confused about the opponent's pulse.

I have to admit that Zhang Guoshi is actually not a conservative director.

Just look at his life history. In many aspects, he is relatively bold, and he is always the first to try something new.

As far as the fifth generation is concerned, Zhang Guoshi is really more radical, especially in his exploration of commercial films.

Even if I parted ways with Mr. Wu, it was actually because of different concepts on commercial films.

Zhang Guoshi was really successful. Although he also had many failed works, he can never be said to be conservative.

However, what should be done in some details?

Shen Fang couldn't help but recall the original "The Great Wall" in his mind.

This movie is definitely a collaboration with Hollywood, and the collaboration is very deep.

We hired Mark Damon, who is currently quite popular and has a very good reputation among our Chinese movie fans.

I must say that this casting is very good, at least at the moment, it feels right no matter how you look at it.

But, what about the others?

Well, let’s not talk about another big Hollywood star, Willem Dafoe.

In short, there is really no problem with the casting, and it is very sincere. It is better than going to Nicolas Cage.

Now this guy has reached the point where he is addicted to making bad movies.

But, what about other aspects?

The original "The Great Wall" was definitely a deformed product of capital.

As far as the entire plot is concerned, it is relatively complete. I can't say there are any big loopholes, but that's about it.

Well, these days, if the plot can be straightened out and there are no major problems, it can be considered a qualified movie.

However, you are Zhang Guoshi, and as far as this lineup is concerned, it is really top-notch.

Brother Hua, Zhang Hanyu, traffic...right?

If it's really strong, then you can't make the plot too ordinary, you have to have some explosive points.

As for this explosive point... yes, here is the problem.

Qualified but nothing special.

Furthermore, there are some more special and common problems.

This seems very contradictory, but if you carefully study the plot of the movie "The Great Wall", you will understand why this is both special and ordinary.

The protagonist is Matt Damon. In the movie, he is a slovenly thief who comes to steal gunpowder. Later, after a series of changes, he becomes a hero and saves China at that time, which means saving the world.

So, what kind of image is this?

To use the saying that many netizens on the Internet have summarized later, it is...

An old white man is not a good person, has all kinds of bad habits, and even steals and robs. However, when the crisis comes, a very powerful enemy appears, and the regular army cannot deal with it. And this old white man has trouble with himself.

A bunch of good brothers, okay, these guys don't look like good people, but they just have the courage to do what the 'enemies' do.

In the end, the old white man saved the world. Maybe he will die, maybe he won't, and he may do it for some very special and important reasons.

Tired of logging.

Just tell me whether it looks like it or not.

The entire plot of "The Great Wall" is completely a Hollywood-style heroic script.

But this time, what is it?

Hollywood movies wearing our Chinese skin?

Yes, that is actually the case, and it is precisely because of this that so many people are complaining about it. After this movie was released, everyone criticized it vigorously.

It’s not that the script is so disgusting. Many people probably can’t tell that this is an American film with Chinese skin.

Mainly...

So cliche!

And now, what could Zhang Guoshi mean by these words he said to Shen Fang?

"Teacher Zhang, I would like to take the liberty to ask, as far as this "The Great Wall" is concerned, do you think this attempt is an innovation?"

Shen Fang's question is a little tricky.

But Zhang Guoshi was a national master after all, so he immediately understood what Shen Fang meant.

"It seems that you know something about the script of this movie."

"That's right."

Shen Fang has a reasonable reason for this. After all, it can be said that he learned about it from Tiantian.

The Imperial Master just smiled and did not point out anything, and then said: "Well, how can this not be considered an innovation?"

As soon as these words came out, Shen Fang didn't know why, but a silly and cute figure appeared.

Shake your head and let it go.

The national teacher continued: "You did a good job with "The Richest Man in Xihong City," but isn't this movie just a Hollywood movie that fits the taste of our domestic audience?

What we are doing now with "The Great Wall" is actually similar. We are also using Hollywood resources to make a movie that suits the taste of our domestic audience.

Of course, we have to take care of the tastes of overseas audiences, as Hollywood scripts and all aspects of film production are very powerful."

After Shen Fang listened, he had a feeling: It turned out that he knew everything.

To put it simply, what is the difference between "The Great Wall" and "The Richest Man in Xihong City"?

The common point is that they are indeed cooperating with Hollywood, but the differences are not small.

"The Richest Man in Xihong City" is borrowed from a Hollywood movie, but the main things in it are from China.

In particular, many stories have prototypes, such as Brother Teng inviting that Lafitte to dinner. The focus is of course not on QQHEBBQ. The focus is actually on the stories in our stock market.

We in China are really good at playing finance, and even an old boy like Buffett can’t imagine that we can still play like this.

I used the topic of dinner with him to speculate in stocks and cut leeks.
