Originally, according to Jiahe's idea, the US$15 million was just thrown away.
It's not that the Jiahe family has a big business and doesn't care about the money. It's because they think that using the money can open up the mainland market and earn more.
As a result, Xiao Qian intervened, and "The Opium War" not only did not lose money, but also seemed to make a lot of money, which was great.
In the original version, the last war scene is the Battle of Humen.
In this battle, Guan Tianpei died and Humen was captured. Then the Qing government signed a humiliating treaty and ceded Xiangjiang, and Emperor Daoguang cried in the temple.
Xiao Qian was very dissatisfied with this plot because it did not conform to the rules of the movie at all.
In any commercial movie, the most exciting climax must be saved for the end.
A big problem with mainland film directors is that they like to preach in their films. I always feel that if they don’t do this, the film will lack something.
Little did he know that this was what the audience was most impatient with.
I usually get a lot of education when I go to class and go to work, but I still have to do this when I go to the cinema to relax. Are you tired?
Movies are the best tool to promote ideology and education, but good propaganda methods must be mastered.
Mainland film workers are very rough in this aspect, so no one likes to watch the films they produce.
Especially older generation directors like Xie Qi are very weak in this aspect.
In the plot redesigned by Xiao Qian, the Battle of Guangzhou is the biggest climax.
Outside the city of Guangzhou, British troops approached the city. Tens of thousands of Qing troops were defeated and returned to the city. People were panicked.
In order to force the Qing court to surrender, the British army launched an attack.
The towering city walls of Guangzhou City could not stop the British guns and artillery. In the end, the city gates were opened and the city was completely lost.
The scenes in this section are interspersed.
The sent Lin Zexu staggered forward in the ice and snow, symbolizing the withering away of those who cared about the country and the people, and also the beginning of a history of humiliation.
He Shanzhi stood alone on the city wall of Guangzhou, witnessing the brutality of the British army and the shattering of mountains and rivers. He was eventually shot in the chest and became a victim of the Opium War.
His ending also has a moral.
He was the first person to open his eyes to the world and was one of the few people in China at that time who understood the international trends.
His father was an opium dealer and one of the chief culprits who brought disaster to the country and the people.
He devoted himself to the front line of destroying opium and resisting invasion, and finally gave his life.
His life and death both represent the awakening of China's progressive power and its tragic struggle.
At the same time, the picture will also be interspersed with the decadent debauchery of the Manchu rulers.
The beauties in the harem danced with drums and drums, Emperor Daoguang sat high on the throne, and exquisite delicacies were presented one after another.
On one side, the incompetent rulers are living in drunken dreams, while on the other side, the mountains and rivers are crying with blood and broken cities.
Xiao Qian believes that when such a sharp contrast is presented in the movie, it will definitely bring the greatest shock to the audience and can also convey this period of history to the public.
After hearing his idea, Xie Qi was speechless for a long time, and finally felt relieved.
He is indeed old, and the future world really belongs to young people.
After the Battle of Guangzhou was filmed, the overall filming phase of "The Opium War" was over.
Xiao Qian sent away Guo Sen Standa and others, and then sent away Jiahe's people, and finally returned to Starlight Film and Television with Xie Qi with all the films they obtained.
After seeing the technology of Starlight Video, the old man decided to arrange the editing of the film here.
Long Jinhai from Emei Factory has no objection at all.
The person who was the strongest opponent of Xiao Qian at the beginning has now become Xiao Qian's most loyal supporter.
If Xiao Qian hadn't been busy with the post-production of the movie, Long Jinhai would have dragged him along to discuss future cooperation plans.
The main building of Starlight Film and Television is still only in prototype and cannot be used.
Jackson and his studio were still busy with special effects production, which delayed the editing of the movie, allowing Xiao Qian to work on other things first.
In a movie, the episode is also very important.
A good soundtrack will bring an extraordinary feeling to the film and enhance the quality of the film.
Just like the high-pitched music in "God of Gamblers", it makes people excited and exciting as soon as they listen to it.
If you change the soundtrack to "Two Tigers" and watch it...
The episode of "The Opium War" was an unprecedented challenge for Xiao Qian.
Because... there is no place to copy it.
The film and television dramas he shot before are all classics from his previous life, and the BGM can just copy them.
But the current "Opium War" is different from the original version, and of course the original BGM cannot be used.
Xiao Qian was scratching her head as to how to create the soundtrack.
After leaving everything at Starlight Film and Television, he returned to Starlight Entertainment.
I haven't been back for several months, but this place is still familiar.
When I arrived at the company, it was almost noon, so I put aside my worries and put my meal first.
On the way to the cafeteria, Xiao Qian always felt that something was wrong.
I looked around and found it.
There are two people in front, one is square and square, like a robot; the other is long and thin, like a scarecrow.
There are quite a lot of people here at Starlight Entertainment, so you shouldn't be surprised to see people, but these two people successfully attracted Xiao Qian's attention.
"Yeah, stop!"
Good guy, I drank it loudly and everyone around me stopped.
The boss's attitude is just different.
The two people who bore the brunt almost fell to the ground, sweating profusely.
Xiao Qian strolled over and walked up to the two of them, becoming increasingly angry as he looked at them.
"Why...are you...still here?"
The two raised their heads, one narrowed his eyes and the other was crying.
It's better to be bolder if you squint your eyes.
"Representative, we are on vacation."
Of course, these two people are not others, Turbo is also.
Xiao Qian put her hands on her hips, hesitating whether to take action.
"Of course I know you are on vacation. I am asking you, why are you here?"
Jin Zhongguo pulled Shen Zaiyuan to stand up and said matter-of-factly: "It's very comfortable here, there are so many delicious food, and there are many fun things to do in Shanghai."
Xiao Qian suddenly thought of something.
"Did you pay for your food?"
Kim Jong Kook had more to say.
"Isn't this the representative company? Why should we give money?"
"ah!!!!!"
If he couldn't beat him, Xiao Qian would definitely take action.
Okay, Kim Jong Kook, you really can be so stingy!
During the holidays, I don’t even want to spend money on meals.
"On behalf of nim, we have eaten out, but the food outside is not as delicious as the one in the company."
Nonsense, what is the standard of Starlight Entertainment's canteen? The restaurants outside are not three-star or above, and they are not even qualified to compare.
Xiao Qian was very angry when someone took advantage of her, but there was nothing she could do about it.
Following Kim Jong-guo and Shen Jae-won, they came to the cafeteria.
Seeing so many delicious foods, these two guys couldn't care less about being nervous and rushed to the front with their trays.
Just by looking at their actions, you can tell that these two guys will definitely stay here for a long time.
There is no need to carefully select what is delicious or not, just put it directly on the plate.
Xiao Qian shook her head, packed up the food, and followed the two of them to find a corner to sit down.
"You have rested long enough this time and are ready to return."
Jin Zhongguo and Shen Zaiyuan didn't think Xiao Qian was reluctant to pay for the meal. In fact, they had a really long break this time.
Being idle for a whole month is really unimaginable for a Korean artist.
In other words, Big Hit’s family is rich and they don’t care about their little income.
But what a singer fears most is being forgotten by the public if he is inactive for a long time.
Xiao Qian decided to go to South Korea to prepare for the activities of his singers after the film's soundtrack was completed here.
This time we are busy not only with Turbo's return, but also with the debut of Park Yu-young and Jo Young-sang.
Xiao Qian also has high hopes for Zaza, a remix group.
"On behalf of nim, the equipment and environment here are so good. We can definitely produce songs here. Why do we have to go back to South Korea?"
Shen Zaiyuan was not very active in his first year and was very comfortable with Starlight Entertainment, so it is not surprising that he has such an idea.
The recording studio at Big Hit is under construction and cannot be used for the time being. Even if it is built, it will obviously not be able to compare with Starlight Entertainment due to the limitation of the venue area.
"No, the atmosphere is different, and the music produced that way will not be right."
Xiao Qian was very clear-headed and did not agree just because it could save costs.
If Korean pop music is divorced from its original environment, it will definitely deviate and not be so original.
Xiao Qian has always paid more attention to big hit music and communication with colleagues, so it is better to stay in South Korea and produce locally.
