Sometimes, you will be defeated by the difficulties and setbacks of life, and maybe you will cry, but please hold on and wait for hope, which will sprout little by little in the corner of the years. ┟╡┟┠╡┟.(.
Hope is the most magical thing. Maybe it comes out of the street inadvertently and jumps directly into your pocket.
For many people, "Run, Brothers" is indeed a program with positive energy for people. "Brothers with Love, Justice and Friendship" is this type of work.
Therefore, the popularity of Brother Run is also within everyone's understanding. Ye Ming's filming of this was indeed unexpected. However, one advantage of doing this is that Ye Ming is quieter this time.
Quite a few. What he is currently doing is a variety show, so it is not very involved in tax evasion. At least, no one is cheating Ye Ming, so he can't cheat, because variety shows only make so little money, and cheating is meaningless.
Otherwise, it would be difficult to say, because according to Ye Ming's status in the entertainment industry, very few people are criticizing him, but this tax evasion matter is said to involve a very wide range, so in this case
Regarding a question raised by Zi, if this matter insists on being implicated, it can really harm Ye Ming. Even Zhang Yimou and Brother Chen Kai may be implicated, not to mention Ye Ming.
But when Ye Ming plays a variety show in this situation, there is really no intention to be black. What’s more, it is done by Ye Ming’s own company, and there is nothing black about Ye Ming’s company.
There is no tax evasion at all, so naturally he is not afraid of his shadow.
Zhang Yimou glanced at Ye Ming and said: "This program of yours is very good. Originally, everyone was not very optimistic about variety shows, but they didn't expect you to come up with new ideas. Will the next key actions be solved?"
Put it here?"
It seemed that this was a joke, but Ye Ming also heard that there was something in the words. Then Ye Ming thought for a while and said: "It will be moved here in a short time. After all, this program is very popular.
, somewhat beyond my expectation.
The second and third episodes are about to be filmed. Therefore, at this time, in the past month, I will film this program at a similar pace. There will be a total of about fifteen episodes. I will do it after the filming is completed.
What, it hasn’t been determined yet?”
Zhang Yimou's eyes lit up, and he suddenly had an idea and said: "If you don't have anything special to do, I have a notebook here to start a project. There are several roles that are more suitable for you. If you are willing,
, you can come and take a look.═.［.
Don't worry, I know you are now a member of the Screen Actors Guild. If you sign a contract with our crew, then at a time like this, I will actually give you a satisfactory bargaining chip. Our show is
There will be a big production, and the target is a production of 100 million yuan. Mr. Zhang Weiping and Mr. Zhang have also made great efforts to make a good Chinese movie."
Come, come, Ye Ming suddenly felt excited, a Chinese blockbuster, it can be said to be the first Chinese movie that can be called a blockbuster, and it is also one of the most successful blockbusters. Zhang Yimou finally couldn't help but make a small fuss.
Entering the international market.
So when he heard Zhang Yimou say this, he actually knew very well that what he was going to shoot this time was the so-called martial arts masterpiece "Hero".
It can be said that the plot of this movie is weak and the characters are rigid. Anyway, it has almost exposed all the shortcomings that the movie should have. Especially the lines are very weak, and any analysis of the script is not valid anyway.
The flying snow has only taken ten steps, why bother breaking through the sky? Who is the hero in ancient and modern times?
This is the biggest comment on this movie. After Wuming killed Feixue and Canjian, he could have a duel with the emperor, but for some reason, Wuming stupidly killed Changkong. This is the biggest lack of heart in the hero.
Plot.
Anyway, no matter what happened, Hero achieved a high box office despite a burst of criticism and controversy, letting the Chinese entertainment industry know that our blockbusters can be shot like this.
This is actually a success for Zhang Yimou. In the future, many blockbusters will be shot following Zhang's footsteps. Hero, he is destined to be a name that will leave a strong mark in the history of Chinese movies.
Ye Ming was stunned: "A blockbuster, hundreds of millions, it is indeed a blockbuster. If you want to recover the cost, it will not be easy. Mr. Zhang Weiping is indeed very courageous."
Zhang Yimou is actually very satisfied. In fact, regarding such a problem, no matter how it is said, as a director, everyone hopes to have a very good start, a very big and good film crew to let him control, a
With a crew of hundreds of millions, such a scale is definitely something that many directors only dream of.
Therefore, Zhang Yimou nodded with satisfaction and said: "Yes, I am also surprised, but this time, everyone is also trying to compete. ╡┝┢┟.{.Your movie Slumdog Millionaire can beat
Pearl Harbor.
Why can't we make a blockbuster film? Actually speaking, the reason why I can have the opportunity I have now is because of you, your box office is too high.
The money earned is also very enviable, and only those who want to invest hundreds of millions are planning to start shooting a costume movie."
Zhang Yimou's eyes are actually shining with burning fighting spirit. This kind of large-scale production is a very big test for the director.
Moreover, regarding such an issue, the pressure on the box office is almost entirely placed on the director alone.
Feng Xiaogang also understands very well why someone would invest in you as a director. Or is it because your previous movies have achieved success? In other words, people invest money in you because they believe they can make money. If it is your previous movies
If there are brilliant results, then it will be very easy for you to attract investment at this time.
For example, Brother Chen Kai, the movies he made before, such as Yellow Earth, Farewell My Concubine and other programs, are representative works of Chinese movies. As for how these movies were shot, let’s not talk about it.
But anyway, the director is named Brother Chen Kai. Therefore, under such a situation, even if Brother Chen Kai made a big bad movie like Jing Ke Assassins Qin, and it was a huge failure, there will still be people willing to invest in it in the future.
Brother Chen Kai.
That's because Brother Chen Kai is well-known. But 100 million, this figure also shocked Feng Xiaogang. Such a sum of money has never appeared in China.
Therefore, at this time, Feng Xiaogang, who is a member of the small urban film Qi family, said in surprise: "One hundred million, Director Zhang. You have the courage to proceed with such a thing. It almost means that the pressure from the front is all
It will be placed on you alone. Not only the actors, screenwriters, cameramen, lighting, etc. are all very strict. Only you dare to take on a crew like this."
This is not a compliment from Feng Xiaogang. In fact, under such a situation, Feng Xiaogang said it from the bottom of his heart. In fact, at the beginning of the 20th century, Feng Xiaogang, even if you gave him an investment of 100 million, would he have the courage to raise a
The crew, this is hard to say. Therefore, the worry he has about Zhang Yimou at this moment is actually a real worry.
But it seems that both Ye Ming and Feng Xiaogang underestimated Zhang Yimou's ambition at this time. Ye Ming's "Slumdog Millionaire" is indeed a great stimulus to Zhang Yimou. Ye Ming both
Able to do this.
As international directors, how can Zhang Yimou and Chen Kai be willing to do so? At this time, it is normal for big-budget movies to be released. As expected, Zhang Yimou said very proudly: "I was also under a lot of pressure for this movie.
Yes, but it must be done in a certain way.
Because now we in China have joined the WTO. In other words, under such circumstances, it will be easier for Hollywood blockbusters to come to China for such a thing.
If we, the film industry in Mainland China, say we will never touch big-budget productions, then what will we do if we encounter Hollywood blockbusters? Do we mean that we don’t have the ability to resist at all?
This is not what I want to see. Therefore, I hope there will be a new way to produce movies, blockbusters, big productions, big stars and big scenes. Everything must be the best, at least to the top level in China.
This is what I want to see.
I want everyone to see clearly that if we, the Chinese, were to shoot it ourselves, we would be able to shoot a big-scene, big-production movie. That’s why I agreed to this movie. It’s a large-scale ancient costume martial arts movie.”
Feng Xiaogang felt a little surprised when he said these words just now. He was very surprised, his eyes widened and he said: "Director Zhang, let me be honest, don't mind, this martial arts guy is still in ancient costume.
, how many in the Chinese entertainment industry can successfully shoot a movie with such a theme?
If you want to shoot a movie like this, and it requires such a big investment, isn’t it a bit risky?”
Feng Xiaogang looked at such a problem from the position of a director. At this time, he himself knew very well that if a director cannot master a good subject matter, then such a thing is also very serious.
tragic.
He actually wanted to make a drama at the beginning, but he didn't expect that his self-esteem would be shattered and he would suffer a huge loss. Fortunately, it was a public investment. Until Feng Xiaogang really found his place, shooting an urban comedy, a movie
Party A and Party B made Feng Xiaogang famous, and the Lunar New Year Trilogy established Feng Xiaogang's status as the father of Lunar New Year films. Therefore, this is a question of the director's positioning.
Feng Xiaogang himself is suitable for shooting urban comedy movies. If he wanted to shoot a drama or something, it would definitely be a dead end.
No matter how great the rally numbers are boasted by later generations, the box office is billions or billions, these are all false. What really shows that a movie is a classic is how many people will mention it on the Internet. For example, Party A and Party B, this
The landlord’s family also had no surplus food. Nearly twenty years later, it is still mentioned frequently on the Internet.
But in Assembly Numbers, how many plots, how many characters, and how many lines have become classics? This anyway shows that Feng Xiaogang is indeed a little unable to do this kind of serious drama. His real essence is shooting urban comedy.
Therefore, at this time, the positioning of a director is the most important issue. If Zhang Yimou shoots a rural-themed movie, it will definitely be high-end and world-class. But if he wants to shoot a costume martial arts drama, this is very difficult.
It's hard to say.
Zhang Yimou said with a smile: "Someone has to give it a try. Therefore, I have decided to shoot a martial arts costume drama. I have already chosen the name. It is called Hero. It is a story about assassinating the Qin Dynasty."
Because Ye Ming and Feng Xiaogang were present, Zhang Yimou knew everything about them. Therefore, Lao Zhang would not be afraid that Ye Ming and Feng Xiaogang would reveal the name and outline of their movie. If this is really the case, then the two of them will be different from each other in the future.
Got involved in the entertainment industry.
Therefore, Zhang Yimou had nothing to keep secret and directly talked about such a problem.
At this time, Feng Xiaogang used a calmer expression and said very seriously: "Director Zhang, in fact, I am not pulling you back on such a matter. You can explore a new path for the Chinese entertainment industry.
I admire this very much, and I also support your actions. But to be honest, it is indeed a bit risky for you to do this.
Still assassinating Qin? It’s not like Lao Chen has never made similar movies. Jing Ke assassinated the King of Qin. A movie like this is a big loss. I didn’t make this up, you know it very well even if I don’t tell you. Now don’t you
Do you want to shoot the hero directly at this time?"
Feng Xiaogang didn't say anything, especially when he said it in front of his friends in the club. He was even more outspoken. Everyone in the circle knew about the failure of the movie Jing Ke's Assassination of the King of Qin. Therefore, in this situation,
, In fact, what Feng Xiaogang said on this point is not wrong at all. Assassination of Qin is an old topic, but this topic is not very suitable for making a movie. Chen Kaige's failure is a very good one.
Example.
An investment of 100 million, if there is no way to recover the investment, would be a huge blow to Zhang Yimou. It is precisely because of such worries that, under such a situation, Feng Xiao just
