Three hundred and ninetieth chapters slap in the face
Time has slowly arrived on August 1st. Apart from preparing to write a novel, Zhao Hong spent the rest of her time with Yazhi and the others.
Zhao Hong began to write a martial arts novel, which was also adapted from the movie he was about to shoot. This novel is "Dragon Gate Inn". He has long wanted to shoot this movie, but due to the lack of actors, it has not been launched yet!
Besides, I didn’t have the confidence to control this movie before. It can be said that this movie is the pinnacle of Xu’s work. Many things in it can be completed without copying!
Zhao Hong is still not ready to shoot this movie in the next movie. He has to write a novel first to let it ferment. Besides, it would be very interesting to turn this movie into a novel.
Zhao Hong not only copied the original work, he also wanted to create a movie universe.
Zhao Hong still remembers that the only martial arts movie that can be watched after the millennium is "Xiu Chun Dao". This movie is also rooted in the history of the Ming Dynasty.
He intentionally created a linkage and left every hook at the beginning to prepare for the sequel.
At this time, the novel is particularly important, and many foreshadowings must be reflected in it.
During this time, Zhao Hong was reading a lot of historical knowledge about the Ming Dynasty. Every important historical figure in the history book had to be carefully studied and studied.
Interspersing some martial arts plots with some historical events is something Zhao Hong has considered.
For this reason, Zhao Hong opened Jin Lao's "The Condor Shooting Trilogy" and read it carefully. The more he looked at the history of the Ming Dynasty, the more he realized how glorious this dynasty was. The Qing Dynasty was really incomparable.
Zhao Hong wants her martial arts novel to be rooted in the beginning and end of the Ming Dynasty. She also wants to learn from Jin Lao in adding her own martial arts plot while also making it feel real and believable.
Writing a novel with a history of almost three hundred years is not an easy task. Zhao Hong has also begun to innovate. He always creates creations based on the original work. He is still a little ashamed of himself!
Zhao Hong estimates that this novel will be at least three million in length. This is without watershed information. There are too many wonderful things about the Ming Dynasty.
This is still based on fuzzy treatment of many things, just like Jin Lao. After his "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" to Yitian, the span is almost a hundred years, but the relationships between the characters can still correspond one to one.
There is also another novel hidden in it.
Zhao Hong found that ever since he made this plan, he felt a little stressed out. This was the first step to truly start his own creation.
In her free time, Zhao Hong will also go to comfort Qingxia and the others. Qingxia is now invisible. The sales of the books she published some time ago are very good. In almost two months, the total sales volume has reached about 800,000 copies.
Qingxia was very happy to see this result and planned to write another novel. The last book was mainly written in the form of an autobiography. This time she wanted to try writing a romance novel.
Zhao Hong didn't know what to say. Every time she went to her place, she would show him her own creative ideas.
Zhao Hong discovered that Qingxia's ideas really didn't have any outstanding ideas, and many of them were mediocre ideas.
In the end, Zhao Hong advised her to settle down first and wait until she was inspired before she started writing. Only then did she suppress her eagerness to move!
Zhao Hong still hopes that she can write good novels so that she can still have something to do if she retires. Of course, she can still provide her with one or two creative ideas when necessary.
"Ah Hong, I feel like I really want to make a movie!" When Zhao Hong was having dinner at Qingxia's place, Qingxia said while picking up vegetables for him.
"Haha, if you want to take pictures, just take them! The company has launched a lot of projects recently! Why, don't you like them?" Zhao Hong said with a smile.
"How could it be? I just want to film with you the most!" Qingxia denied.
She actually just wanted Zhao Hong to spend more time with her. During this period, he had little time to visit her. She planned to shoot another movie before giving birth to a child.
After all, she herself is not young anymore. Although the years of practicing boxing have not left any traces on her face, she is already very familiar with it in her heart.
And she also knew that Zhao Hong couldn't spend all his time with her, so she wanted a child to stabilize her heart and no longer be empty, lonely and cold!
"I'm afraid I won't be able to shoot movies for a while! At least not this year. You know how ambitious the novel I want to write now is. It won't be completed in a short time. Besides, there is another important thing for the company this year that I need to check.
This way I can’t focus on filming the movie..."
Zhao Hong slowly explained the reason why he didn't have time to shoot a movie. He likes to do things one by one. If several things are piled together, he feels uncomfortable.
The most important thing he didn't say, but Qingxia also knew, was that Yazhi's belly was getting bigger day by day, and it was estimated that the baby was about to be born.
During this period, Zhao Hong spent most of his time with Yazhi, and he was a little too concerned about his first child.
The main thing is that after two lifetimes, I have to consider myself as a father, so I feel anxious and excited!
"Okay then! I have time to see if there is a script that suits me. I haven't filmed for a long time and it feels like my acting skills have deteriorated." Qingxia said in a low voice.
She feels that she still likes acting. What I haven't mentioned yet is that she could have won the Best Actress at the Golden Horse Awards last year for "Swordsman", but she was thrown out due to identity issues.
Although her influence in Wanwan is huge now, some people in the government don't like her very much and think she is a traitor to Wanwan.
The Golden Horse Awards did not award the award to Qingxia due to political pressure. Qingxia was very sad about this matter. She just wanted to have an important award with weight in her heart.
Zhao Hong vaguely knew something about this. She wanted to star in Zhao Hong's film mainly because she wanted to make a splash at international film festivals.
You know she is very envious of Aunt Mei now!
Ever since Mei Gu filmed "Farewell My Concubine", she has become far different from many female stars in Hong Kong, and she has shown a faint flash of her personality.
Although I didn’t win any awards for my role as Ju Xian, the movie itself was amazing!
Even now, the influence of "Farewell My Concubine" still exists. So far, this movie has achieved good results of 26 million Hong Kong dollars in Hong Kong.
This movie is not currently being screened. It is still being screened in a few art theaters, but the number is only 10,000 to 20,000 at most. It can be said that this movie has broken the box office of Hong Kong literary films.
Although this movie is not about Xiangjiang, many people in their fifties and sixties were deeply moved after watching it, because many people in Xiangjiang migrated from the mainland.
Besides, this movie is really interesting, the story is very complete, and there are no obscure plots!
Another thing is not to underestimate Zhao Hong's appeal. It can be said that among the current directors in Hong Kong, he has the best reputation and has never failed to make a movie.
This is unimaginable in the directing industry. You must know that every director makes mistakes sometimes.
Qingxia felt that if she won the Best Actress award in the three major European festivals, she felt that it would be a loss for the Golden Horse Awards if the Golden Horse Awards did not award her the award before.
Zhao Hong is also very concerned about this matter. He doesn't feel comfortable when his woman is angry. If there is a chance, he doesn't mind making some people pay a certain price.
…
August 2nd
Zhao Hong attended the premiere of the "Kung Fu Panda" movie this evening. This animated movie has already launched a large-scale publicity during this period.
The advertisements are placed on all three TV stations. There is nothing we can do about such a large promotion effort. The main reason is that many people think that animated movies are only for children. This concept is simply deeply ingrained.
Therefore, in this case, it had to be bombarded with propaganda. Zhao Hong wanted to slowly change this concept.
There are still many guests coming this time. According to media reports, many people know that this movie cost a total of 200-300 million Hong Kong dollars, so colleagues in Hong Kong want to come and take a look.
Zou Daheng and He Guanchang came to the premiere as usual. They have been doing pretty well during this period, and they have made a lot of money since relying on DreamWorks.
This followed the release of "Police Story 2" some time ago, and this movie did not disappoint Golden Harvest.
In Hong Kong alone, it has achieved good results of 42 million Hong Kong dollars, and at the external box office, it has also achieved astonishing results of almost 500 million Hong Kong dollars.
The box office share is about 40%, which is 200 million Hong Kong dollars. If the two companies share it equally, it will be 100 million Hong Kong dollars. This is a lot of revenue!
This movie alone is equivalent to 50% of Golden Harvest's annual income. Although it is possible to make money by shooting movies in Hong Kong, it is still not easy to make big money.
If you don't have your own theater chain, you won't make much money, and many tycoons will look down on it.
Only a model like DreamWorks can make big money. All other companies in Hong Kong combined do not make as much money as DreamWorks Film Company.
This is the benefit of having channels. Even if your own company doesn't make movies, you can still make money on your own.
"Lemon, do you think we should also set up our own animation studio?" When Zou Daheng and He Guanchang went back after the premiere, He Guanchang felt very shocked. He really didn't expect that animated movies could be like this.
Photography.
When he watched this movie just now, he thought it was very interesting. Although the plot was very simple, it was not childish at all. Even if it was made into a live-action movie, there would be no problem.
After watching this movie, he knew that DreamWorks would have another gold mine in the future. He also saw that making animated movies was very promising, so when he saw that his old buddy was silent, he couldn't help but speak.
"This is impossible! Our company doesn't have much money to build it!" Zou Daheng said bitterly.
He felt that he was not keeping up with the times. He thought that DreamWorks was going to rush out on this, but after reading it, he felt that his previous ideas were too arbitrary.
Chapter completed!
