Xiao Qian threw Zhang Dabeard to Chen Weizhou and ignored it.
He is also busy with the post-production of "Dragon Inn" and has to catch up with the China Film Awards Ceremony on May Day.
Feng Buck Ya has been stationed in Shanghai frequently. As long as there are movie-related projects, he will always be by Xiao Qian's side.
Although he did not participate in the filming of "Dragon Inn", the later editing was enough for him to learn a lot.
"This is your typical confined space shooting technique."
In film and television shooting, confined space is always an important material. Because the space is limited, there is little room for the plot and actors to play.
In other words, the more exciting the plot is shot in a narrow and cramped space, the more powerful the director is.
Compared with those picturesque and turbulent scenes, the theme story of "Longmen Inn" all takes place in a small inn.
But even in such a small space, the plot of "Dragon Inn" is very full, ups and downs, and exciting. It can also highlight the characteristics of each character of the protagonist and supporting actors. This is the embodiment of the director's skill.
Feng Buck Ya's strengths are lines and plot foreshadowing, but he is weak in creating atmosphere and connecting multiple scenes.
The light comedies he made for the New Year in the 1990s were all classics. However, when he later entered the field of blockbusters, his films were far from satisfactory.
For example, "Assembly", which has received good reviews, also has huge problems.
As a military and commercial blockbuster, what can attract the audience must be the grand, tragic and shocking war scenes. However, he put storytelling and thoughts first, ignoring the overall effect of the movie.
He placed the most exciting battle scenes in the first half of the movie, but in the second half, only a long and heavy literary story was left.
How do you think the audience can get involved in this?
Regardless of whether things like assembly numbers are historically true or false, at least from the story design of film and television, you can't just show the biggest selling point first, and then show the audience a long and boring scene.
If you really want to make this kind of movie well, "Saving Private Ryan" is the best reference.
It's the grand scene of the Normandy landing. It's exciting, isn't it?
However, compared with the final battle at the end of the film, this sequence is just an appetizer.
In "Assembly", there is absolutely no need to focus on describing what Gu Zidi has experienced and what he wants to do at the beginning.
Instead, we can shoot the part about resisting U.S. aggression and aiding Korea first to show the image of a resourceful veteran on the battlefield.
Seeing such a powerful protagonist, the audience thought he would be a hero, but as the plot unfolded, Gu Zidi's identity was slowly revealed, and he turned out to be a prisoner.
You see, is suspense created?
Obviously what the audience sees is a resourceful hero, but in the movie it is said that he is a prisoner, so the audience has the desire to continue watching.
In the later part, the plot of Gu Zidi's search for identity and truth and the tragic blocking battle are interplayed, pushing the plot towards the climax step by step.
In the end, Gu ZiDe finally found Xiao Liangzi who could prove his identity, and the scene changed to the climax of the battle in the old kiln.
Will the audience feel passionate about it and at the same time empathize with the hero's experiences?
It’s better than the endless chatter in the original version, right?
Just like the "Dragon Inn" they are currently operating, no need to say more about how exciting the last battle in the sand is, right?
Cao Shaoqin was one against four and was so fierce that he almost left Zhou Huaian and others in the desert.
The little Tatar's superb flesh-picking knife skills completed the most important counter-attack, bringing everyone in the square back from the brink of death.
Qiu Moyan's death added heroism and sadness, and the outbreak of Jin Xiangyu allowed her to complete the sublimation of human nature.
Zhou Huaian finally killed Cao Shaoqin with Qiu Moyan's mother-in-law sword. Even though he avenged his benefactor, he also remembered Qiu Moyan.
A bloody battle that brought together all the elements pushed "Dragon Inn" to the top of film history.
Historically, when it comes to new martial arts movies, "Dragon Inn" has always been an unavoidable monument.
Now the original version was presented in front of Feng Buckya, which really opened his eyes.
In particular, the editing room of Starlight Film and Television used many new technologies, which made him confused.
"It won't be long before film will be eliminated from the stage of history."
Seeing his novelty, Xiao Qian did not hesitate to teach him.
But these words shocked Feng Buckya greatly.
"No... you can't, right? You don't need film to make a movie, so what should you use?"
Xiao Qian sighed while busy with the movements of his hands.
"The future will inevitably be dominated by digital equipment, and film shooting will be completed through computers and the Internet."
Feng Baoya obviously accepted the incompetence.
"How is this possible? I have also used computers. The hard drive does not have such a large capacity at all, and the imaging technology is too rough to meet the needs of movies."
Xiao Qian couldn't help but laugh.
"When muskets first appeared, people generally reported that they were not as useful as bows and arrows. But what happened later?"
Feng bucked his teeth and stopped talking, but he also understood something.
He understood that Xiao Qian was telling him not to rest on his laurels and underestimate the birth of new technologies.
Although film and television dramas are creative works, they can be achieved better because of science and technology.
As directors, mastering more new technologies can greatly broaden their horizons, improve their own strength, and always be at the forefront of industry development.
"Hey, this fight scene is amazing."
After all, Feng Buck Ya is a top-notch great director, and his vision for movies is very unusual.
He was talking about the fight scene between Qiu Moyan and Cao Tian outside the inn at night at Longmen Inn.
In the original work, it was just an ordinary fight, but it was modified by Xiao Qian.
In the new design, the two people fight to the death, with dangerous moves, but the weapons do not collide, unlike in the original work where the fighting was extremely lively.
Just kidding, in the dead of night, the fight was so intense, were you afraid that the people in the inn wouldn't hear?
Qiu Moyan and Cao Tian were obviously testing each other. How could they be willing to reveal their whereabouts?
So Xiao Qian tasked Yang Jun to design this fight scene carefully, making the fight between the two people look good, but there should be no sound of weapons clashing.
So in the picture, when the two were fighting, apart from the "whoosh, whoosh" sound of their weapons breaking through the air, there was not a single collision. However, the danger of the fight was fully demonstrated, and Feng bucked his teeth and shed cold sweat.
"Mr. Xiao, I didn't say anything. I'm convinced by this scene alone!"
Xiao Qian was very proud of being able to admire such a person.
"Watch this scene carefully. Maybe you can use it when you direct it in the future."
Editing of "Dragon Inn" began years ago, intermittently, and in March, it was finally completed.
Time was running out, so Xiao Qian didn't waste any time and sent out invitations to distribution companies in various places.
Watch movies.
With "Shaolin Temple"'s Zhu Yu in front and Xiao Qian personally directing it, just this gimmick alone made publishers everywhere not dare to neglect it and became even more enthusiastic.
In the small screening room of Starlight Film and Television, the creative team of "Dragon Inn" and distributors from all over the world became the first audience for this movie.
From the beginning of the screening, the distributors were in shock.
The style of "Dragon Inn" is completely different from that of "Shaolin Temple".
"Shaolin Temple" is just like Buddhist Taoism, it is upright and upright, and the right path goes straight. There are no ups and downs in the plot, and the entire story line is very smooth.
And "Dragon Gate Inn" is very strange and weird, with swords that are off-center and murderous.
Although Dongchang's black cavalry team is not large in number, the ferocity shown in the film is even far superior to the rebels in "Shaolin Temple".
Cao Shaoqin's domineering attitude of "I am the greatest in the world" also vividly interprets a powerful eunuch.
Unmentioned, after this film, Yang Jun will definitely leave a mark in film history.
Li Bingbing and Jiuji Zhang, both moving and quiet, the beautiful and elegant two beauties did not become a vase, and even in terms of the color of the characters, they somewhat overwhelmed the male lead Liang Jiahui.
Similarly, several supporting characters in the play, such as the cunning Jia Ting, the arrogant and domineering Lu Xiaochuan, and the glimpse of the little Tatar, all left a deep impression on the audience.
Coupled with the wonderful and breakthrough action design, no one thinks this movie will be unsuccessful.
When many people looked at Xiao Qian, they felt intense jealousy.
How come he, the only kid, can make a good movie?
But they are obviously engaged in film distribution, why are they jealous of a film producer?
