Chapter 530 Feng Shui
The crew of "Red Sorghum" was established in Shanghai.
If nothing else, the boss is in Shanghai.
Wherever the boss is, there is the focus of the career.
The film "Red Sorghum" is destined to be extraordinary. It is the first Chinese film to win the Golden Bear Award in Berlin, Germany, creating a history of Chinese films. I can't count how many awards it has won on one hand.
When people talk about the history of Chinese film, they can't do without "Red Sorghum".
As for being able to obtain honors, Shen Guanglin had no intention of relying on others. He decided to take action on his own and had no other requirements. He just proposed that he would be the producer of the film.
Sure enough, no one could compete with him, and he couldn't compete with him.
Later, Shen thought about it again and realized that just being a producer was still not enough, so he took a temporary job as an assistant director.
I heard that being an assistant director can have many hidden benefits.
Of course, Teacher Shen doesn't think so. He doesn't lack benefits, just because this is a China-Hong Kong co-production, and he represents Hong Kong and serves as the deputy director. This makes sense.
In fact, Xi Film Studio has always had a tradition of co-producing movies with Hong Kong.
"Westward Journey", which later failed at the box office but gained a reputation in terms of reputation, was produced by a joint venture between Zhou Xingxing's company and West Film Studio.
Unfortunately, after the movie was released, the box office was extremely dismal. The box office in the mainland did not exceed 200,000. Zhou Xingxing's Xinghui Company closed down and Xiying Film Studio did not pay bonuses for more than a year.
The movie "Red Sorghum" is a project personally handled by Boss Shen, and Great Wall Entertainment attaches great importance to it.
Hu Xiuyong personally led the team and brought a whole team of people from Xiangjiang. Even the young Fatty Wang came over. In short, whatever is needed here, Xiangjiang will provide it.
It's just a movie. In fact, it doesn't require too many people, just some logistics staff and equipment.
Shen Guanglin made it clear that all the autonomy in casting was given to Lao Zhang and he was allowed to perform freely. Others were strictly prohibited from participating.
However, Lao Zhang was still a little dissatisfied. He said, "My college classmate, whom you have met, Gu Changwei, I want him to be a photographer."
Shen Guanglin did know Gu Changwei, and Shen Guanglin also knew many of Lao Zhang's classmates, such as Hu Jian's Zhang Jianya, who Shen Guanglin also knew, because he married Zhou Yun in "Romance on Lushan Mountain".
It's a pity that Zhou Jun went abroad last year.
Before going abroad, Zhou Yun terminated her contract with the Great Wall Group. In fact, according to the law, the Great Wall Group could sue her because according to the contract, she was not allowed to go abroad. Otherwise, the compensation she should pay would not be enough in her lifetime.
That is to say, Zhang Jianya went to Shen Guanglin to plead for mercy. Shen Guanglin, for the sake of his old friend, thought that after all, this woman is the idol of men all over the country. After all, she is the spokesperson of his company. Who is really making a fuss about it? None of them were good, so I gave up.
However, Shen Guanglin also said, no matter how high you jump, you will regret it. It is your wife who has gone abroad, not mine. It is estimated that she will not come back in a short time. If this continues, sooner or later you will break up. If you don’t believe it, let’s wait and see.
Zhang Jianya dared not say anything in anger. Your woman is also in Fusang. Why didn't you tell her that you would break up too?
That's different, Boss Shen is rich.
When you have enough wealth, no matter how formal a place is, it can become informal.
Gu Changwei later became a well-known director, so it would be fine to let him be the photographer. Shen Guanglin had no objection:
"You are a very good photographer yourself, why do you need a bicycle?" Shen Guanglin thought it was funny that an excellent photographer would find another photographer to shoot him.
"What bicycle? Why is it just a bicycle?" Lao Zhang was confused.
"This is a joke, you don't understand. Okay, no problem, let him be the photographer. If you have any other requirements, please put them forward." Shen Guanglin is very familiar with Lao Zhang and knows his future development. Therefore, he will not be angry and meet all his requirements.
When Shen Guanglin invests in Lao Zhang's movies, he is actually investing in him, Lao Zhang. I will naturally support all your needs.
Do you have any other comments?
Of course Lao Zhang still has:
"This is a film co-produced by two places. I have no objection to cooperating with Heung Kong Capital. But there is one thing. Domestic staff cannot be discriminated against. In terms of living conditions, the two places must be consistent."
"That's for sure. If anyone dares to put on airs, tell him to get lost." Shen Guanglin was unambiguous about this.
There is a reason why Lao Mouzi said this. "The Curtain" was released in 1983. It was a good movie and received a good response after it was released. Nick Cheung also won the Best Actor Award at the Hong Kong Film Awards.
However, the filming process of this drama was different. Everywhere was treated differently, and it was full of discrimination and the sense of superiority of Hong Kong people.
This is also the reason why mainland artists rarely become friends with Hong Kong and Taiwan artists.
During the filming of "The Government Behind the Curtain", the biggest inequality reflected was not only in salary and income, but also in terms of eating, which made people very unhappy. People from Xiangjiang only had a lot of fish and meat, while people from the mainland had little water. , the daily meal of mainland actors is two steamed buns and a piece of black pickles. Even Liu Xiaoqing, the most popular actress in the country, cried with anger.
This kind of thing is strictly not allowed here in Shen Guanglin. Anyone who dares to act like this should get out of here and be banned.
Shen Guanglin's Great Wall Entertainment and Mr. Shao's TVB have many artists that can be banned.
Shen Guanglin suddenly became interested in filming, and then promoted the casting.
Although the Shanghai Academy of Drama is a good school, since it is a casting process and the talent does not go to outsiders, Lao Zhang still wants to go to the capital.
Then go back to the capital. The building can't be built in a day anyway.
The skyscraper work was on track, but Citigroup's I.M. Pei was not approached.
For no other reason than that he is from Citigroup.
The Great Wall Building is to be built into a building designed and built purely by Chinese people. If the exterior design is done by Mr. Pei, what is going on?
Shen Guanglin decided to follow the crew back to the capital. Before leaving, he made a few small requests. As long as the shape of the building is not too abrupt, the prevention of wind loads should be considered, and the design of wind dampers should be done well.
These requirements are actually discussed in general terms. Shen Guanglin is not professional in this matter and can only raise some general questions and suggestions.
However, joint experts expressed confusion: What is a wind damper?
"The SEG Building vibrated because it was not equipped with a wind damper. A wind damper is a gyroscope-like thing that is usually installed in skyscrapers and large ships." He just said this. After that, Shen Guanglin realized that the current SEG Building had not yet started construction.
But it’s okay. No one knows what SEG Building is. Shen Guanglin continued:
"As early as the 1940s, there was a bridge in Washington called the Cotama Suspension Bridge. It was blown down by strong winds just after it was built. It was because the design of the steel box girder did not consider wind vibration. When the bridge was built, damping was not considered. The difference will cause the bridge to resonate, and the bridge will collapse."
Those who engage in construction are all from science and engineering backgrounds, and everyone still knows about damping motion. However, dampers must be used on high-rise buildings. I have never heard of this before.
How are dampers made?
I don't know about Shen Guanglin.
If you really can't help it, ask how the dampers on warships or large ships are made. Just imitate them and leave space during the construction of the building so that they can be replaced and improved in the future.
Look, this is an innovation.
"Professor Shen is here, should we go to Citigroup to refer to the construction methods of the World Trade Center for our building?" Someone suggested.
"Don't go, absolutely don't go!" Shen Guanglin objected firmly.
"Why?"
