Director, please respect yourself

In his past life, Yang Hao has been exposed to more than 400 film scripts, if not 500.

Among so many movie scripts, some were scattered, some were ridiculous, and some had no preface and follow-up, but he had never seen one as weird as "Legend of the Gods".

The opening page of the script does not explain the plot of the story, but the proposed director and actors for the film.

[Director: Yang Hao

Jiang Ziya: Li Lianjie

King Zhou of Shang Dynasty: Liang Jiahui

Su Daji: Fan Jiuyi

Erlang Shen Yang Jian: Huang Xiaoming

...]

After returning from the Lei Yue Mun food stall, Yang Hao only glanced at the movie script and threw it on the sofa in the living room.

There is really no worst, only worse. If the script of "Warring States" can barely make people watch it, then "Legend of the Gods" is not interesting to watch anymore, because it starts with the first picture. To be clear, we just want to attract the audience by piling up stars.

I don't know if he had already guessed Yang Hao's first reaction after seeing the movie script. Huang Xiaoming's call came just in time. Just when Yang Hao was sitting on the balcony of the bedroom on the second floor, about to start working, the phone rang.

"Director, are you asleep?"

"Not yet, isn't the movie "The Witch" about to start shooting? I'm drawing the storyboard at home."

Putting his mobile phone aside, Yang Hao opened his laptop and found the movie script of "The Witch". He used a pencil to conceive the composition of the shot in a picture book while chatting with Huang Xiaoming.

"Director, then, I'll talk to you tomorrow?"

Perhaps because he was afraid that his call would affect Yang Hao's work, Huang Xiaoming hung up the phone.

"No, Brother Xiao Ming, tell me, I'm not afraid of multitasking when I'm working."

"Well, director, I'll keep the story short.

The reason why my godmother handed over the movie script of "Legend of the Gods" to you at this time is because she had heard an allusion before. "

"What allusion?" Yang Hao asked.

"It is said that after you finished filming "The Journey" and it was a box office hit, Han Shan Yema, the chairman of China Film Group, threw you a movie script called "Warring States".

Let you watch and adjust the plot to film it yourself...

The result was two "Xiuchundao" films that shocked domestic martial arts fans, and the combined box office of these two "Xiuchundao" movies even exceeded 1.4 billion yuan. "

"Wait a minute, Brother Xiao Ming, are you saying that Miss Chen also has this idea?" Yang Hao seemed to understand Huang Xiaoming's words.

"Yes, director!

What my godmother means is to see if you can repeat the miracle and make a different "Legend of the Gods", otherwise China Star Pictures and Bona Pictures would not directly spend 500 million yuan to hire you to direct it. "

"Um…"

Yang Hao put down the pencil in his hand and fell silent.

After a long while, he tapped the table with his fingers and said, "Brother Xiao Ming, let's do this. Please tell Miss Chen that you want me to make a movie about the gods, and you want me to be in the movie." You can also focus on taking care of the left side.

But I need 250 million U.S. dollars in production funds. If it works, I will take the job. The shooting time will be around 2013, and the release date should be 2014, 2015, and 2016. "

"Director, do you plan to make "Legend of the Gods" into three movies?"

"Roughly the same.

I feel that among our Chinese classics, the only one that is most suitable to compete with Western fantasy-themed movies is Fengshen. "

…………

At noon on February 3, Wang Tingting, Zhang Jiarui, Wang Yu and others took the crew to Hong Kong Island. At the first opportunity, Guan Jingjing, who arrived on the same plane, arranged to stay at the Yinghuang Junjing Hotel.

Originally, Yang Hao wanted to go over and have a look. After all, he hadn’t met everyone since the Spring Festival. Even the year-end bonuses were distributed by Ni Ni and Guan Jingjing on their behalf. But when Yang Hao heard that people from South Korea △The Chinese actress Song Hye Kyo actually checked into the Yinghuang Junjing Hotel last night, and she stopped thinking about the past.

Don’t be afraid of 10,000, just be afraid of the worst!

What if Qiao Mei from South Korea held her buddy's hand and said in tears, "Director, you are really here. You know, the slave family was waiting for you all night last night...", that would not be very beautiful.

Early on the morning of February 4th, Gao Yuanyuan came to Hong Kong Island.

In the crew of "Chinese Partners", she was only the third female lead. Relatively speaking, her role was a little small. In addition, director Zhang Yimou took great care of her, so she ended the filming on the crew early.

The people who came to Hong Kong Island with Gao Yuanyuan were Han Jiani and Zhang Momo. Han Jiani is the screenwriter of the movie "The Witch". According to industry rules, screenwriters generally have to work with the team. If there is anything unreasonable in the plot, they can be modified at any time.

Zhang Momo came over to discuss with Yang Hao the shooting method of "To the Youth We Will Eventually Lose", the selection of actors and the overall photography style.

Originally, Zhang Momo could discuss these issues with her father, Zhang Yimou, but after chatting for a few days, she immediately discovered that there was still a gap between her father's way of looking at problems and Yang Hao's... Well, it can't be said to be a gap. Well, to be more precise, everyone looks at the problem from different angles.

Father Zhang Yimou was deeply influenced by Takeshi Kitano. He believed that movies pay attention to color, and the best movies use color to drive the plot, because when the audience sits in the cinema, the first thing they see is the picture.

As a loyal follower of Hitchcock, Yang Hao believes that the most important thing in a movie is the plot. If the story is not strong, no matter how beautiful the pictures are, it will be useless. Just like the King of Sunglasses, the pictures of the movies he directed are not good. It can be said that it is not beautiful, from the color to the artistic conception to the shooting techniques.

But what about the box office of Sunglasses King's movies...

It can be said to be terrible every time!

Faced with the different concepts between his father and Yang Hao, Zhang Momo chose to kill his relatives for justice. Speaking of which, Comrade Zhang Yimou is really a bit outdated.

Just like the pinnacles of his film works, "Red Sorghum" and "Alive", in fact, each of them has a story that is more deeply rooted in people's hearts.

Similar to Liu Yifei and Ni Ni, Gao Yuanyuan was also very hospitable. Since they were all friends and they all came to see her husband Yang Hao, she took Han Jiani and Zhang Momo to her home without waiting for them to stay in the hotel.

The place at home is big enough and there are enough guest rooms. You can live on the first floor or the second floor. As for the third floor, I’m sorry. That’s the master bedroom for Yang Hao and I.

"Wow... Sister Yuanyuan, is this your villa on Hong Kong Island?" After getting off the taxi, pushing the door open and walking into the yard, Han Jiani looked at the huge garden and said in surprise.

"Well, yes, Sister Yuanyuan, the place where you and the director live is really beautiful, but what I'm more concerned about is, is the house opposite your house really the home of the king Andy Lau?" As a long-established director, Zhang Yimou has a lot of popularity in China. There are many villas. As his biological daughter, Zhang Momo has long been immune to this type of villa.

What she is more concerned about now is, is the opposite side really the home of the King of Heaven? !

"Of course it is."

Gao Yuanyuan smiled sweetly, took out her mobile phone from her pocket and handed it to the two good sisters in front of her. On the screen of the mobile phone was a text message sent by Yang Hao.

[Sister Yuanyuan, I’m at Brother Hua’s house right now, mainly to visit as a neighbor. If you get home and I haven’t come back yet, you can come to the other side to find me. 】
