Chapter 6 Director, why did you change me? (1/5)
A few years ago, a horror film director named Mai Junlong won a lot of exclamations - "Zombies"...
Comparing "Zombies", you will find that "Yulan Magic" and "Tudi Exorcist" do not have famous actors, no big scenes, and the special effects are very 50 cents.
Could it be that Zhang Jiahui's resource mobilization ability is not as good as Mai Junlong?
He is really not as good as that of the rich second generation and the son of Mai Shaotang, a famous Hong Kong businessman.
Have money, have feelings, be willing to make special effects...
But he is incomparable to Lu Xiaoran...
The pattern is different, how awesome is Lu Xiaoran.
After North America received a box office of $120 million, a US box office analysis column analyzed a passage after "Mars Rescue" won the average box office championship in North America: Thirty years ago, Chinese filmmakers fought to be able to enter Hollywood. Now Chinese filmmakers are more willing to make movies for Chinese people to see. These concepts are changing, and we can also see that the world's film center and film industry are shifting to China...

"I have always believed that there is no clear difference between Hong Kong movies and mainland movies, and they have a common historical source!"
"Hong Kong movies, even Taiwanese movies, are just a few tributaries that rushed out of the dangerous shoals of history. When the dangerous shoals pass, the river channel is open, and the originally separated tributaries will naturally gather into a torrent again!"
"When these tributaries separate, some carry the leaves of the woods, some carry the green buds of the grassland, and some wrap the sand of the desert, but when they gather, these things become me and I have you. The river is still the same river, but it becomes more magnificent and colorful, more exciting and impactful!"
Zhang Jiahui: "But there are too many rules in the mainland and they always review them... If you want to enter the mainland market, you have to abide by the rules of the game. I think this is a persecution of art!"
"…Then do you think a book like "New World" is bold enough?"
"Bold..."
"I can shoot it, and it can be released!"
Zhang Jia was stunned for a moment...
"Who doesn't know that movie art is best to bloom, but now there is no consensus in terms of ideology. Also... Considering economic factors, there are only 34 quotas per year, and there are only so many, and diversity needs to be taken into account. Horror films can only be considered small and medium-sized production in the global market, and the audience is relatively small. There are so few quotas per year, even making movies must take up the schedule. In contrast, it is clear that Transformers, Kung Fu Panda, Pirates of the Caribbean or Horror films are introduced. Of course, some ghosts still cannot be released..."
"Woman in Black", "Silent Place", "Screen Lord Breath", are actually all released!
Most of the horror films we can see are violent, ghosts, and plasma films. Such films cannot pass the review!
As for "XX Shock", "Midnight xxx", "Wild Village xxx", etc., they are all filmed by theaters, and they are usually only released in this theater, making a lot of money...
"The Exorcist of the Tudi" is definitely not a good idea - "General Principles of Production" clearly states that "there is no permission to promote feudal superstitious ideas such as soul possession, reincarnation, and witchcraft practices".
Halfway through the chat, Chen Zhixi walked over and looked a little bad...
Lu Xiaoran came over and asked in a low voice: "What's wrong?"
"We're boycotted!"
“…Ah? Resist? Why?”
"Who made you sarcastic...No, because Zhang Jiahui..."
"Zhang Jiahui?"
Chen Zhixi explained that it was probably the question of whether it was brilliant or not...
Of course, the press release has been deleted almost now...
However, the Internet has memory.
"Someone must be pushing it behind the scenes!"
“…It’s not a question of whether to push or not, what should I do?”
In recent years, many netizens have been crazy about boycotting Hong Kong and Taiwan artists. Those with dark history must resist...
It just so happens that Zhazhahui is not very clean.
Lu Xiaoran sighed and then smiled: "Luckily, we haven't started shooting yet. If we finish shooting and are boycotted again, the loss will be huge..."
Chen Zhixi also smiled: "Yes, now that we are boycotted, we can just replace people... Do you have a backup candidate?"
“…Lin Feng!”
"Why not find mainland actors?"
Lu Xiaoran said directly: "If the male lead actor is a mainland actor and they are positive, it is not conducive to harmony between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait and the three regions..."
"Lam Feng...is also a mainland actor?"
"Ah? Is that?"
"Or why go find Yang Shoucheng?"
"…He definitely recommends the King of Xie Bi, I don't like the King of Xie Bi..."
Why don’t you like Xie Bi Wang? It’s just like he doesn’t like Liu Kaiwei…
As for Zhazhahui...
Some things, directors and producers can make decisions, just forget about the actors...
As for people, they always have to pay some price!
Of course, this kind of thing doesn't require Lu Xiaoran to come forward, Yang Shoucheng can handle it.
...
It's so embarrassing, it seems difficult to choose the male lead...
Hong Kong movies are now invincible.
Yang Shoucheng shook his head: "Now, after the boss of the Hong Kong Film Company got the director's script, he might have not read it yet, so he asked, "Whether the male lead is looking for Gu Tianfeng or Zhang Jiahui this time? Because there are no more choices!"
"Zhang Jiahui is not good. Sometimes, you have to consider not only acting skills, but also other things."
The actor's innocence and so on...
Now it is not just a trouble for censorship, but netizens' boycotts will also cause a lot of noise to be encountered before a movie is released...
Once this noise ferments, a powerful countercurrent will form.
So, it's not that he is necessary.
"Forget it, let Gu Tianqing play the male lead. I'll call Duan Yihong to play Li Zhongjiu!"
After scratching his head, Director Lu simply changed roles in the last round...
Anyway, the role of Li Zicheng is not much different compared to Li Zhongzhi in "Greedy Wolf", they are all forbearing...
If Liu Dehua or Liang Chao were a teenager younger, it would be so troublesome!
After thinking about it, he added: "Call Lin Feng too..."
"No problem!" Yang Shoucheng hesitated for a moment, and then asked, "Will it have an adverse impact on Zhang Jiahui this time?"
"...It's okay, I haven't announced the lineup yet, but when you invest in movies in the future, you must be careful. Unity with dark history cannot be used!"
Lao Yang nodded...
...
After receiving the news, Zhazhahui was stunned...
Is this replaced?
Chen Zhixi explained: "Every move we make will be infinitely magnified now, and many people in the industry are worried that they can't find excuses..."
Zha Zhahui was a little disappointed. He was just a rumor and did not make any real evidence...
But some people with ulterior motives will always analyze some remarks from their remarks.
Bring a rhythm...
Lao Lu didn't dare to go against the current.
In fact, when he filmed "Wu Shuang" and "New World", many people have secretly expressed their dissatisfaction - who is not good to praise? What's the old Hong Kong and Taiwan artists?
The problem is, whether it is "Wushuang" or "New World", it may not happen in the mainland!
