Chapter 240: 240: This movie is full of villains, Zhang Yimou's invitation(2/2)
I returned to the set that night.
In the past few days, Ning Hao has been filming according to his requirements. He was very satisfied after watching the sample film, and the filming was very good.
Ning Hao is indeed one of the sixth-generation directors with the best box-office guarantees. It is definitely profitable to bring him into the company.
Regarding the two people's "Assembly" incident, Xu Ning was about to see off the guests, but Ning Hao coyly took out a script and handed it to him to read.
"Director Xu, this is "Black Gas Station" written by me. It has been completely written. Please check it."
Xu Ning understood what he meant: make money!
Naturally, she would not break the promise she made to him last time. She took the script with a smile and said, "You are still so shy... If you want money, just mention it casually. I believe you."
Ning Hao scratched his head: "Haha, I know Mr. Xu, I should say this: script, pay."
"Haha, that's it, so refreshing."
After reading the script for a while, Xu Ning couldn't take his eyes away. He had to admire Ning Hao's ability to write stories.
Too strong.
Halfway through reading it, he suddenly realized that this script was a bit like a movie he had seen in his previous life. It seemed to be called "No Man's Land"?
It is also the work of Ning Hao.
But his impression of "No Man's Land" was not deep, so he never thought of it. At this moment, after watching most of the plot, he realized it.
"Director Ning, are all the people here evil?"
"Uh, yes, there are no good people anyway."
"That won't work. If you shoot like this, you will never pass the review." Xu Ning said directly, "Although the story is wonderful, it needs to be changed again."
Ning Hao rubbed his temples and said helplessly: "Hey, I also know that it is too difficult to pass the trial. Okay, then I will go and correct it."
Xu Ning nodded: "Think carefully about the role of the policeman. You can't make it so cowardly and incompetent... Even if the whole movie is filled with darkness, you still have to see the bright spots of willfulness..."
In a previous life, "No Man's Land" was filmed in 2009, but due to censorship, it was delayed for four years and was not released until the end of 2013.
…
…
That night, he pulled ten people into dreams at once, bringing them all into a "real" battlefield environment.
Practice over and over again.
Many people were so frightened that they collapsed to the ground.
Even Hu Jun and Zhang Hanyu were too scared to walk because this dream was so real.
It's as real as if you were on the battlefield.
Over and over again, he was pierced by bullets, blown up by artillery shells, and saw his comrades sacrificed in front of him again and again.
When the dream ended, these people found themselves broken out in a cold sweat and their pajamas were soaked.
In order to prevent the ten people from bringing up this topic when chatting and causing unnecessary fear, he directly chose to erase everyone's dream memory.
However, the battlefield experience they gained in the dream can be completely preserved, so that the effect of the dream will not be compromised.
the next day.
When we went to the studio to shoot, the performance of Zhang Hanyu and others showed a qualitative change. Because they had war experience, they were more natural than in the performance.
At the same time, Zhang Songwen, who was located in Yangcheng, also used his only savings to buy a plane ticket to Shenyang.
He could have taken the train, but in order to save time and get to the set quickly, he gritted his teeth and spent a lot of money to take a plane for the first time.
——
During the filming during the day, Liu Yinyin trotted up to him and said, "Director Xu, Director Zhang Yimou has called you."
He took the phone and said, "Hello, Director Zhang."
"Hello, long time no see, Xiao Xu. I heard that you are filming "Assembly Number". How are you doing? Where are you filming? Do you want me to help you?"
"Haha, if Director Zhang comes to guide the work, I will immediately charter a flight to Xi'an to pick you up." Xu Ning said with a smile.
After filming Zhang Yimou's "House of Flying Daggers" last time, the two rarely met. Lao Mouzi came to see him today. Is there a new drama?
"Haha, you kid, you know I don't have time, and you still tease me... It's like this, I'm going to make a new movie, if you're interested, I'll leave the male lead to you."
During this period of time, Xu Ning thought about it and found that there was only one movie that was suitable, and that was "The City of Golden Armor".
This movie was the box office champion in 2006, grossing more than 300 million domestically and nearly 80 million US dollars globally.
But,
Isn’t the male lead Fa Ge?
Lao Mouzi... is trying to frame me.
If I were to act myself, I would definitely play the second prince, the role played by Jay Chou, but if I think about it carefully, there is actually nothing wrong with this role being said to be the male lead.
After the movie was aired, most viewers felt that Jay Chou was the leading actor! After all, the story revolved around him.
"Okay, Director Zhang, just let me know when you want to shoot. I will definitely keep a schedule."
"Okay, just ask for it. The specific time has not been determined yet. It is estimated to be at the end of the year. Once the time is determined, I will tell you."
"Yeah, okay."
After speaking, Zhang Yimou changed the topic again.
"By the way, Xiao Xu, are you going to cooperate with Feng Xiaogang? Are you planning to run for director of the Olympic opening ceremony?"
Lao Mouzi asked the question he wanted to ask the most today. He had been talking around for so long before, but now he said it.
Having previously filmed "House of Flying Daggers", he knew that Xu Ning was very talented in the field of director aesthetics. In addition, Feng Xiaogang also had two skills, so he was a little wary of their cooperation.
"Haha, the news spread really fast, but it's not entirely true. Director Feng and I didn't confirm our cooperation, we just mentioned it that day."
“…”
Zhang Yimou has now formed a team and is working intensively on the plan, but at this time, he has no further plans and his head is still a little fuzzy.
at this time,
With less than six months left before the Olympic opening ceremony campaign, Zhang Yimou was very anxious, fearing that he would be surpassed by Feng Xiaogang.
In order not to be defeated by Feng, Zhang Yimou also risked his life and said through gritted teeth: "Xiao Xu, can you join my team?"
When he said this, the main purpose was to break up Feng Xiaogang and Xu Ning, and the secondary purpose was to recruit Xu Ning into the group.
…
In less than half an hour,
Feng Xiaogang also called: "Hey Xiao Xu, did Lao Mouzi call you too? That old boy actually poached me. If it doesn't work, I'll call him and scold him right now."
Then, Feng Xiaogang called Zhang Yimou, and the two of them were laughing and joking at first.
Within a few minutes, they started arguing on the phone. Feng Xiaogang said that Zhang Yimou didn't have the ability to show off, and Zhang Yimou said that Feng Xiaogang was a petty person and couldn't make a big scene.
The two of them had been arguing since the morning until they had lunch, and the topic of conversation shifted from life to the plan for the opening ceremony.
at last,
The two of them got more and more excited as they talked, and they immediately arranged to go out for a drink. They chatted while drinking, and they got so happy that they even called Xu Ning.
In fact, Zhang and Feng had a pretty good relationship in 2005. There was no competitive relationship between the two. It was normal for them to compete for the box office.
When Xu Ning's movie is released, it will compete with their movies. By then, we can't say that his relationship with Feng and Zhang is not good, right?!
Therefore, the two of them can still chat together, not to mention the buffer zone of Xu Ning, which allows them to have a common topic.
At the wine table, Feng and Zhang drank too much without realizing it, and then began to hug each other and call each other brothers.
The friends who came with them were a little surprised, but the ones who came behind were even more surprised. Ge You almost dropped his jaw when he heard that they had reached an agreement.
We all know that if something cannot be done normally, we can discuss it over a wine table, and the probability of success will be greatly improved. If there is something that cannot be done even at a wine table, it will basically not be possible.
At this moment, they were talking about something incredible at the wine table.
Zhang Yimou: "Let's run for office together?"
Feng Xiaogang: "Okay, grab Xiao Xu and let's go together. I don't believe it. What else can the three of us choose?"
Ge You: "I think it will work!"
But things are never that simple. Behind the seemingly harmonious atmosphere, there are undercurrents surging, and the two of them have their own thoughts.
Because once the three are elected, who will be the chief director? You can’t both Feng and Zhang be the chief director, right?
