Since 1983

In the independent film industry, Lionsgate has always been a big spender and seems to have a lot of money.

For example, the acquisition of Artisan Entertainment in 2003 is said to have cost more than 200 million US dollars. Where did it come from? One is financing and the other is loans.

If you choose financing, it means selling equity, which will increase instability. And Cactus's financial situation is very good, Xu Fei allowed them to borrow money appropriately, plus part of the surplus of the work, to buy the copyrights of some second- and third-line heroes.

Iron Man, Hawkeye, Black Widow, Deadpool Barabara... You don't need many, just buy one a year, or even one every two years.

In September, when the September 11 incident was raging, Xu Fei went to Xiangshan again.

Zhang Guoshi fulfilled his promise and invited him to watch the baked horse.

…………

Xiangshan, early morning.

Teacher Tony got up early to prepare for the day's work.

As early as the 1980s, when self-employment started, his mother opened the first private barber shop in the town, with exquisite craftsmanship and a good reputation, which has now been passed down to the second generation.

That's Mr. Tony.

When he came to the shop, Xiao Gong waited for a long time, worried: Brother, are you really going?

Why don't you go after all the money has been collected?

But I haven't done this job?

I've never done anything, but I've been given too much!

While talking, he prepared tools and materials, rode on a motorcycle, and came to the film and television city with a toot.

As usual, ghosts and ghosts are rampant, and from time to time a Hu Jing, Chen Hao or Zeng Li will float past...

Going in, up the steps, the Qin Palace stands on a high ground, and there is a large square in front of the palace. When they arrived, good guy, it was so lively.

Hiss~

Whew~

There were a hundred roan horses tied up in the square, and they were led by someone specially assigned to them. Paper shells and cardboards were placed underneath to avoid soiling the ground.

The whole group ran to watch the fun.

Li Lianlian and Chen Daoming held their sleeves, Zhang Guoshi was squatting, and a handsome man stood beside him, looking at a diorama.

It's all here, let me just say something.

The producer called over a dozen barbers and said, Everyone's task is to bake the horses into black, shiny black and shiny.

There are about ten horses per person. If there is not enough today, there will be tomorrow. We will provide food, anyway, we must not treat them badly.

Immediately divide the work.

Teacher Tony is the most famous, and his peers looked at him eagerly, hoping to make a sample.

Don't be ashamed! He bravely went over, and the first horse he got was beautiful, with a fat body, long legs, and brown hair all over his body.

The long hair on the horse's neck is called the mane, but in fact there are short hairs on the horse's body, which are very hard and slippery.

...

Xiaogong looked at it for a long time and asked, How do you do it?

As usual, you adjust the hair cream.

Teacher Tony ordered, wanting to touch the horse lightly: Brother, cooperate well...

hiss!

The horse slapped its legs, and people were frightened far away.

The man watching the horse smiled and said, It's okay, it doesn't kick people.

Liar!

Teacher Tony was afraid, so he really tried to make a show: bowed his waist, stretched his hands, kept a certain distance as much as possible, and ran away as soon as there was any movement.

Xu Fei was watching the excitement, while chatting with Zhang Guoshi and others.

Naturally, the conversations were still about 911 and pulling lights. This is a global hotspot-it will still be reposted by Wang Wang after more than ten years.

Before Chen Kaige filmed Jing Ke Assassins the King of Qin, Xiangshan built the Qin Palace, but now he is filming Heroes, because he wants to go to the extreme and be black, so the Qin Palace is painted black.

All of Chen Daoming's plays are here.

In fact, Zhang Guoshi has a lot of ideas about Heroes. In addition to the aforementioned Congratulations to the king for escaping another disaster, there is also a deleted ending:

After Wuming was shot to death, three new graves stood on the Gobi Desert, where Wuming, Canjian and Feixue were buried respectively.

The old servant and Ruyue knelt in front of the grave, pouring wine to pay homage. The old servant said: There has always been a saying in China that a scholar dies for his confidant. One confidant is enough in life, and three confidants will win the world.

Kisaragi said: Then the three of them will be the world.

The old servant said: Yes, the three of them are the world.

Zhang Guoshi thought it was great, but the publisher Miramax said it was too complicated for foreigners to understand, so it was cut. Now, Xu Fei doesn't interfere with him too much, because he decided to make two editions: the Chinese-speaking area edition and the Western special edition.

The only thing that interferes is the lines, don't be as bloody as the original version, for example:

Does Your Majesty know that Can Jian Feixue is a couple?

Because Feixue and Changkong once had a one-night stand, Canjian was deeply troubled.

Even if you say couples, they are better than lovers!

There is also one-night stand, Xu Fei remembers that when Hero was released, this word was sprayed wildly.

Even if you write: Feixue once had an affair with Changkong, had an old relationship, had a one-night affair... it is better than this kind of modern language with a word, pretending to be ancient.

Director, the group performances of the ministers have arrived.

They were still baking horses over there, chatting and chatting, the assistant director came to ask for instructions.

Zhang Guoshi got up and turned to another area. There were one hundred and ten people in front of him, wearing black court clothes and black crowns. They are not young, middle-aged and elderly people will perform together.

...

He took a closer look, and his expression was not very satisfied. He asked an old man, What do you do?

I plant an orchard, and I like acting. I come here when I'm free. My home is just to the north... the old man spoke in dialect.

Zhang Guoshi was speechless, and called the assistant director to the side: No.

Which one doesn't work?

No way. These are the humerus officials of the Qin State. They are called outstanding people. At least they must be a bit of a cultured person, right? Look at what you are looking for. To put it bluntly, it is like digging food in the ground.

Director, most of the ensemble performers are young and young. If you find older ones, they are all locals, and they have nothing to do to join in the fun. Besides, it's too difficult to talk about more than a hundred old cultural people. Why don't you choose again?

You are in charge of group performances. If you tell me it's difficult, I can still live up to your standards?

Zhang Guoshi was under a lot of pressure to shoot a blockbuster, and he was a little angry.

Xu Fei also frowned, thinking that when Tianxia was first established, there were two dramas a year, and everyone dedicated themselves, so why so much nonsense? The forest is big and there are all kinds of birds.

You, don't come tomorrow.

President Xu!

Use your brain if you find it difficult, don't think about getting rid of the burden, otherwise what would you do?

Teacher Xu called one casually, and said: Go to the county, find their retired veteran cadres, and bring me a hundred.

Ah? I understand, don't worry, I'll take care of it!

The other party went from bewildered to overjoyed, and hurriedly went to do the task.

...

The county was very cooperative, and a hundred veteran cadres came the next day.

Put on the court clothes again this time, poke there, hey, it looks good.

Another day passed, and the horse was baked.

First filmed a scene, at the beginning of the film, a group of black cavalry led Wuming into the Palace of King Qin to meet the King of Qin.

Doing the ultimate, the visual effect is really good, it's like a dark cloud is coming...

Teacher Xu stayed for a while, mainly to make the process smoother and save some money by the way.

For example, Wuming had a conversation with King Qin, and when he walked out of the hall, a group of ministers ran out and asked in unison, Your Majesty, will you kill me or not?

Originally there was none, Zhang Guoshi only used one minister, because it feels good that the hall is empty. When I watched the samples, I felt that there was no atmosphere.

So I brought Chen Daoming back and took another shot.

A group of people shouted: Your Majesty, will you kill me or not?

King, kill!

The atmosphere rose immediately.

This is why the directors felt that Mr. Xu had a buff. With him, filming was so fast and fun!
