"The Battle of Red Cliff of the Three Kingdoms".

This is the name of the script. The old dean naturally knew what it meant. A while ago, he helped Yang Ming introduce several famous experts on the history of the Three Kingdoms to Yang Ming, but he didn't think too much about it at the time.

He just thought that he, as a student, might be used by the company to shoot a certain movie or TV series, but he really didn't expect that Yang Ming might come to shoot the Three Kingdoms!

The historical significance of the Three Kingdoms in China is very clear to every Chinese.

And every filmmaker is very clear about what the Three Kingdoms series of movies and TV shows represents in the film industry.

There may be many versions of the TV series of the Three Kingdoms series, but there are almost no actual movies with the theme of the Three Kingdoms!

Even if there were one or two films, they would not be recognized by the film industry because they were so rubbish.

Yang Ming discovered that in the entertainment industry, whether in this life or in the past, there is a common feature, that is, there are very few movies and TV shows of the Three Kingdoms type.

This world seems to be even more miserable. In the previous life, there was at least a 1994 version of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" that allowed people to experience the style of the Three Kingdoms, but in this world there is no classic work about the Three Kingdoms.

Hearing the surprise of the old dean, Yang Ming saw the deep worry in the old dean's eyes and knew that the old dean was worried about him.

Obviously, people in the industry basically know why there are not many film and television works of the Three Kingdoms type.

There is only one!

That’s five people who dared to shoot!

The history of the Three Kingdoms is so grand. The famous civil servants and generals are like the ministers who crossed the river. They are countless. Each one has a popularity that has been passed down through the ages. Its spectacular history cannot be captured simply by a camera.

It’s not like no director has tried to make a Three Kingdoms-type film before, but not only did the result be disastrous, but it also attracted countless criticisms and accusations.

This situation, whether in the past life or in this life, is very prominent.

It can be said that in Yang Ming's memory, among the Three Kingdoms film and television works in previous lives, the most classic TV series version is CCTV's 94 version of "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms".

This is also indisputable.

But the reason why this TV series was able to succeed in one fell swoop was that, in addition to its excellent writing and drama, there were not many film and television works at that time. The only standard was the works shot by CCTV.

However, this old version of "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is indeed quite well-made.

Popular for decades.

Later, Director Gao was also full of confidence and invited many big names to film a new version of the Three Kingdoms TV series. The ratings were indeed popular, but the criticism and curses were overwhelming. Originally, there was talk of making a movie version, but four or five years later,

I was so stunned that I didn’t even dare to mention it.

Why?

Because there are too many flaws.

"The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is one of the four great Chinese classics. It has long been placed in a sacred position. The people who like it include not only ordinary people, but also high-ranking officials. In everyone's mind, there is a Three Kingdoms of their own.

Besides, Director Gao’s new version of the Three Kingdoms does have too many flaws.

It's impossible to look straight at.

In terms of literary drama alone, the old version of the Three Kingdoms will outshine the new version and be better than countless streets.

Among the films about the Three Kingdoms, John Woo's "The Battle of Red Cliff" is the only one you can watch, but there are still many things in it that make people complain.

As for Liu Tianwang's "The Dragon Undresses", after it was released, even Liu Tianwang couldn't bear the criticism. At that time, the character-shaped helmet was thought to be made by aliens because the helmet looked too much like a flying saucer.

When Yang Ming heard what the old dean said, he was silent for a while, and then slowly and firmly said: "You can't stop taking pictures just because you don't dare!"

To be honest, he took a lot of risks by bringing John Woo's version of "Red Cliff" to the modern world, but the script still needs to be significantly modified.

At least, he believed that Zhuge Liang was completely unqualified in the previous version!

Moreover, in the showdown between handsome guy Jin and Liang Da, he was completely defeated. He was completely suppressed by the character Zhou Yu. Zhuge Liang seemed to have become Zhou Yu's foil. How could countless bright fans tolerate this?

When the old dean heard Yang Ming's answer, he took a serious look at the young student in front of him. After a moment, he sighed inwardly and had to admit Yang Ming's bravery and senselessness.

No one knows better than him what it means for Yang Ming to choose a Three Kingdoms-type movie?

In fact, in the eyes of everyone, Yang Ming is now successful and famous. As long as he follows the steps, he will be the well-deserved number one in the film industry in the next twenty years. If he makes a few more award-winning movies, then he, a young man with a solid foundation in the film industry, will be the first person in the film industry.

The status will become extremely lofty.

But he really didn't expect that Yang Ming would take huge risks to shoot the subject of the Three Kingdoms.

The old dean is not Niu Hua. He was attracted by the wonderful future because of the theme of the Three Kingdoms and the luxurious cast.

As an old man in the film industry, no one knows better than him that making a movie of the Three Kingdoms type is the most risky decision for the director's requirements.

The old dean looked at the determination in Yang Ming's eyes and knew that his young disciple had made a decision in his heart and would definitely not change it. He sighed and turned a page of the script in his hand. He was going to read the script and prepare for Yang Ming.

Check it, at least wait until he is satisfied before letting Yang Ming start filming.

It's just that the old dean didn't expect that when he opened the script, he didn't see the content, but he saw the cast first.

"Lao Bao plays Cao Cao? Hey, Lao Bao's eyes really have the temperament of a hero; Sun Yanjun plays Liu Bei, he is really suitable, he is naturally indecisive; Wu Dong plays Sun Quan, well, I have seen this young man's movies, his acting skills

good.."

Not seeing a single person's name, the old dean made some comments. After a while, he reacted immediately, stared at Yang Ming in great surprise and asked: "You don't really want to invite these people, do you? According to your idea,

If the cast is announced, it will probably scare a lot of film companies to death!"

Only then did the old director realize what it would mean if these actors were really brought together in one movie.

Basically all the core characters are actors at the level of Golden Dragon Award-winning Best Actor and Best Actress. What a luxury!

"This must be done!" Yang Ming said with certainty, "I am going to invite them one by one and invite them with my greatest sincerity."

He discovered that in the previous life, whether it was the CCTV film version of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" or Lao Wu's movie version of "Red Cliff", they had one thing in common, which was that their leading actors were all powerful superstars with excellent acting skills.

Perhaps compared to the dazzling stars in the later movie version of "Red Cliff", the old CCTV version may have long been outdated in the minds of some viewers.

But you must know that when the old version was filmed in the 1980s, every actor in it was a film and television actor with solid skills, a drama actor, a famous opera master, and the mainstay actors of various local theater troupes. Most of them were veteran actors.

The creation of the characters and the enthusiasm for the TV series make people feel that this is the Three Kingdoms no matter when they watch it!

The actors in the Three Kingdoms movie version of "Red Cliff" are also extremely good in terms of acting skills. Although there are many flaws, the evaluation is not one-sided.
