Chapter 1069 Screening (1)(1/2)
"From the time when our ancestors invented oracle bone inscriptions, to the great success of Laozi, Confucius, Mozi and other scholars, to Fan Zhongyan's political ambition of "worry about the world first, and enjoy it after the world is happy", and "life has always existed since ancient times.
"No one has to die, but his loyalty will be remembered by history", the dedication spirit of "devoting one's best to dying", etc., are all part of Chinese culture that runs through the whole process and is inherited from the same source!"
Yang Ming spoke generously into the microphone on the stage. His voice spread to every corner, and many guests who listened were excited.
This is a time when China is the greatest.
In just a hundred years, it has transformed from a semi-colonial empire to a tyrannical country that is now the world's most powerful country. All kinds of sacrifices and sacrifices have made countless Chinese proud.
Because, in this world, the Chinese nation should always stand at the top, looking down on all directions, proud of the world.
Yang Ming's speech was not about advocating nationalism, nor was he a so-called angry youth. He was telling all filmmakers the fact that with the development of the times, the local film industry is facing the increasing pressure of the Western film industry, which is not our culture.
No, it’s not that our heritage doesn’t work, it’s just that you haven’t found a suitable way to explain it through movies.
Now, the first thing he has to do is to give everyone a firm belief.
It’s not that Chinese-language movies are bad, it’s just that you didn’t get the idea right.
The old man stood in the auditorium and listened to Yang Ming's passionate speech. He was fascinated by it and couldn't help but give high fives. It can be seen that Yang Ming's speech really spoke to his heart.
Minister Guo saw the old man's expression from the side, and the worries he had been carrying in his heart gradually relaxed.
At this time, a staff member ran over and whispered a few words to Minister Guo.
After hearing this, he frowned and thought for a moment, then approached the old man and asked in a low voice: "Mr. Zhou, would you like to go on stage to encourage our country's film industry?"
"You little naughty boy!" Mr. Zhou smiled and pointed at Minister Guo and said, then he thought seriously and shook his head, "I won't bother you now. If you want to get my encouragement, you'd better wait for me.
After watching the movie, let me know if it satisfies me."
Mr. Zhou looked at Yang Ming on the stage, with a profound tone in his words.
He was very clear about Minister Guo's inner calculations. If he appeared in public on this occasion today, it would undoubtedly release a message to the outside world.
Minister Guo had mentioned this opportunity to him many times. After careful consideration, as well as the good cooperation between the young guy in front of him and the Ministry of National Defense, and his great influence abroad, he decided to come over today to take a look.
Look, as for whether or not to show up, we should wait until he is satisfied after watching the movie.
Afterwards, Minister Guo and Mr. Guo did not stay at the last entrance of the auditorium. They were led by the staff to a private room.
After Yang Ming finished his speech, he heard the staff report and learned that the other party would not appear in public now. He felt a little disappointed, but quickly returned to normal, and immediately arranged for the premiere to officially begin.
After the screen slowly came down, the lights suddenly went dark, and everyone knew that today's premiere was about to begin.
Mr. Meng Su was still not absent today. He was wearing reading glasses. After the lights dimmed, he slowly opened the book on his knees.
"I didn't expect that this Yang Ming looks young, but he has a big heart. Most people may not be able to catch up."
A middle-aged man sitting next to Mr. Meng sighed and said that there is also a notebook on his knee. Obviously he is also a film critic. If you are familiar with the film critic world, you will recognize this Chinese writer.
The young man is Zhou Qingyun, who is well-known in the film critic circle.
When Mr. Meng heard what Zhou Qingyun said next to him, he smiled calmly: "Old Zhou, to be honest, I have been watching movies for so many years, but I have never seen such an interesting young man. No matter in terms of artistic connotation or experience and skills, he is better than him.
There are many directors, but there are really few directors who can compare to him."
"In other people's words, he is really a monster." Meng Lao suddenly thought of something, shook his head and joked with a smile.
"hehe!"
Just when Zhou Qingyun was thinking about something, the screen lit up and the movie officially started.
The opening of the movie is still the animated logo of the girl who is already famous all over the world, fishing and dreaming on the moon!
"In fact, movies are originally stories about dreams and illusions. To people, they are like having a dream, so their company is called DreamWorks!"
After Mr. Zhou mentioned that the title of the movie was quite interesting, Minister Guo slowly introduced the history of Oriental DreamWorks to Mr. Zhou in a low voice. At this point, he seemed to have thought of something interesting and said:
"I heard that the little girl in the opening animation is actually Yang Ming's sister."
"Haha, he is really a young man with ideas." Mr. Zhou smiled lightly when he heard this reason.
As the movie began to play the credits, all the guests at the scene, whether they were stars in the entertainment industry, reporters in the media, or elites in other industries, stared at the movie with wide eyes. They were all very curious about this movie, which is said to have a history.
What is the most expensive Chinese-language movie ever?
Amidst the soundtrack, two ancient Chinese characters "Red Cliff" appeared on the mountain wall.
Then there's the cast list.
Starring, director, camera, lighting, etc., their names appeared one by one.
The appearance of every name will cause a slight commotion. This cast is really incredible. Basically everyone is an actor at the movie king level. In addition, there are relatively few scripts about the Three Kingdoms in the film and television industry, but the Three Kingdoms
It is also one of the most widely circulated histories in the hearts of countless Chinese people.
It can be said that all Chinese are looking forward to this Three Kingdoms movie.
Compared to the slight commotion at the premiere at the National Auditorium, in theaters all over East Asia where "Red Cliff of the Three Kingdoms" was being screened at the same time, there would be cheers and applause every time a movie star's name appeared.
No matter what, just for the luxurious cast, it's worth the price of admission.
The morning light slowly opens, the rising sun rises in the east, bringing freshness to the world, and a magnificent city appears in the picture.
This scene alone at the beginning of the movie makes all viewers feel the beauty of tranquility that cannot be broken.
"Who is the director of photography for this movie? This scene is really..."
"Holy shit, this kid Kong Weidong is going to defy heaven!"
"These guys are really spending a lot of money!".
Just the opening of the movie caused countless guests to discuss it. Of course, this was limited to discussions among the filmmakers. Although other people felt that the pictures on the screen were beautiful, they did not understand the underlying meaning.
In the palace hall, hundreds of officials were attending court, and a young man wearing imperial attire appeared in the camera lens.
"Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, right? There are a lot of words on Wucuo Novel Network"
Every Chinese is very familiar with the history of the Three Kingdoms. When they saw this scene on the screen, many people immediately guessed the plot.
I guess Cao Cao might show up later.
Seeing such a young emperor, many filmmakers frowned slightly. It seems that the plot of this movie begins with Cao Cao's Southern Expedition, which is almost the history of the late Three Kingdoms. The wonderful history in the past will definitely not be seen in this movie today.
appeared in .
Thinking of this, some filmmakers felt a little disappointed, but they quickly returned to their normal mood.
Think about it, a movie is only 120 minutes at most. How can it tell the history of the Three Kingdoms from beginning to end?
And the title of the movie is "Red Cliff". Obviously, this movie must be about a thrilling battle in the history of the Three Kingdoms - the Battle of Red Cliff.
"How long do you want your Majesty to think about it? I led the army to conquer the north and south, and buried the bodies of tens of thousands of soldiers on the battlefield, just to regain the kingdom of my great Khan."
In just a five-minute scene in which Cao Cao intimidates Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty to order a conquest of the south, Bao Guoan performed Cao Cao, who is known as the "No. 1 Hero in the World", vividly.
The sound of dragons and the steps of tigers, the eyes radiating with cold light, looking around, showing a domineering style.
When Cao Cao appeared at the beginning of the movie, Bao Guoan seemed to be transformed into a famous hero through the ages. His powerful aura conquered every audience. It seemed that what appeared in their eyes was not the actor in the movie, but Cao Cao from thousands of years ago.
This look.
Countless viewers saw Bao Guoan's performance in the movie and were conquered by the Golden Dragon Award-winning actor's superb acting skills, and they are increasingly looking forward to the next plot.
Even Mr. Zhou couldn't help but praise when he saw this paragraph: "A capable minister in governing the world, a hero in troubled times, this is what a person should be like!"
But many people still criticize the plot in the movie.
Cao Cao took Kong Rong's flag to sacrifice!
It is true that Kong Rong was killed by Cao Cao, but it was definitely not on this occasion. He was killed because he opposed Cao Cao's conquest of the south.
While Yang Ming was watching the screen, he was also paying attention to the reactions of the guests in the auditorium. To be honest, he knew that this plot was inconsistent with history. He also wanted to modify it, but with his current ability, it was not enough to change the past life.
A successful movie plot with perfect modifications.
Although many experts have pointed out in previous lives that the plot in the movie is inconsistent with historical facts in many places.
He believed that John Woo must have known it himself, but the other party still made this plot arrangement. The main reason must be to highlight the creation of Cao Cao's tyrannical character.
That's why this plot was arranged.
Yang Ming thought about it, and even discussed the plot with Bao Guoan, Sun Yanjun and other main actors for a long time, and finally decided not to modify the plot.
Movies inherently involve a certain amount of artistic processing. If we really wanted to film everything based on history, many things would simply not be filmable.
Moreover, in the minds of all Chinese people, their understanding of the history of the Three Kingdoms basically comes from the famous book "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" rather than the history books. If you really want to understand the history of the Three Kingdoms, you should read "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" rather than "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms".
Although many historical perfectionists have noticed that the plot of the movie is inconsistent with history, more people do not pay attention to this.
Most of the audience was attracted by Cao Cao, who showed his heroic demeanor in his first appearance. They only care about the next plot, what is it, and when will the Battle of Chibi begin? As for other things, they are not within the scope of the audience's consideration.
.
When Cao Cao conquered the south, the first person he attacked was naturally Liu Huangshu.
When Niu Hua, wearing armor and a white cape, riding a white horse and holding a silver gun, appeared on the stage, many viewers couldn't help but blurt out: "Zhao Zilong!"
Zhao Yun, Zhao Zilong!
This is Prince Charming in the eyes of countless girls, and men also admire Zhao Yun, who is known for his eternal loyalty and courage.
Zhao Yun, this historical figure, is a very popular character in "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and is definitely ranked high.
