I Won a Prize of 100 Million at the Beginning, and I Became a Capital Boss

Chapter 291: Hua Mulan picks a carriage?
Zheng Wentong went to Tangcheng Film and Television Base to visit Bai Xiaolu. Although Zheng Wentong had seen her in the appearance of a female general in "The General", he was still amazed by Bai Xiaolu's appearance in silver armor.

When Bai Xiaolu saw Zheng Wentong, he picked up the spear and played a few tricks, his movements decent.Bai Xiaolu smiled all over his face, "Husband, how are my movements?"

Zheng Wentong looked at Bai Xiaolu dotingly, "It seems that the martial arts movements designed by Wu Zhi teacher are not difficult, but the spear is not for being handsome, it must have a sense of strength."

Ang Lee agrees with Zheng Wentong's idea very much. In "The Legend of Mulan", Wu Zhi designed the action of picking up a carriage with a gun for Hua Mulan played by Bai Xiaolu to show Hua Mulan's bravery and invincibility.

Zheng Wentong told Li Ang: "In the novel "Shuo Yue Quan Zhuan", there is a fierce general Gao Chong, who is said to be the number one fierce general of the Yue family. Many dramas have a famous episode "Picking the Pulley" to reflect his deeds."

"This Gao Chong's marksmanship comes from family traditions, and his ancestors came from the No. 1 gun Gao Siji of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms. This Gao Chong picked up eleven iron tackles in a row, but his mount was overwhelmed, and finally he vomited blood and fell to the ground. In the end, Gao Chong was killed. No.12 two iron pulleys were crushed and died. I believe that the design inspiration for the design of the gun-carrying carriage for Hua Mulan by Mr. Wuzhi should come from this, right?" Zheng Wentong continued.

Li An secretly wondered, "Wen Tong really has a lot of knowledge and memorization, have you watched Peking Opera before?"

Zheng Wentong said: "I don't watch Peking opera very much, but my father and grandma prefer to watch opera, and Xiaolu's mother also likes to watch Kunqu opera. Our hometown is also the birthplace of Huangmei Opera. If there are old people in the village who celebrate their birthdays, they like to invite opera troupes." I came here to sing opera, and I have been influenced by my ears and eyes, so I know a thing or two about opera."

The martial arts director of "The Legend of Mulan" is Kou Zhanwen. Kou Zhanwen, Jet Li and Wu Jing are brothers, and he is also the Chinese martial arts director of the movie "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" directed by Ang Lee.Kou Zhanwen and Wu Jing have a good personal relationship, so this time Ang Lee invited Kou Zhanwen to be the action director of "The Story of Mulan".

Kou Zhanwen, like Jet Li and Wu Jing, was born in the Yanjing Martial Arts Team, but unlike Jet Li and Wu Jing, Kou Zhanwen has not won the title of martial arts champion, so his reputation in the entertainment circle is not obvious.His most brilliant work is playing the Erniu in "Bright Spring Pig Bajie", who is the reincarnation of Houyi. At that time, Chang'e played by Chen Hong was still a beautiful beauty.

Kou Zhanwen said to Zheng Wentong: "Dong Zheng is right. The inspiration for our design of this action comes from "Shuo Yue Quan Zhuan". In today's martial arts action movies, many martial arts actions are flashy, and the martial arts actions are soft and fake at first glance. The audience has no desire to watch it, and when it comes to the martial arts scene, they can't wait to fast forward and skip it."

"When Director Ang Lee filmed "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", Zhang Ziyi's Jade Dragon still had some high-altitude fighting scenes. When it comes to falling from high altitude, there will be a steel wire to relieve the force, so it won't be as painful as a real fall."

"When martial arts actors used to make movies, the scene of falling from the second and third floors appeared in the camera. The actors fell hard and hard, and almost died when they hit the ground. As a result, when the movie was released, there were not many audiences. , I don’t know what the puzzle is.”

"It's not like today's young actors, who just make a few gestures in front of the camera and move their mouths, and tens of millions will be credited to the account. It's really irritating to compare people with each other." Kou Zhanwen said.

"Kou Zhi, you are Brother Jing's senior brother, from what Brother Jing said, Xiaolu and I have to call you Brother Zhanwen." Zheng Wentong said.

Kou Zhanwen waved his hands again and again, "Director Zheng, you are the big boss of a film and television company, and Wu Jing is now also a big director with a box office of billions of dollars. If you call me Brother Zhanwen, I will lose my life. You should call me Kou Zhi. After ten years In the past few years, it has been my honor to be able to cooperate with Director Ang Lee again."

Seeing that her husband's manner of courteous and virtuous corporal didn't work, Bai Xiaolu covered her mouth and secretly smiled.Zheng Wentong sternly asked Bai Xiaolu, "Bai Mengyan, when Kou Zhi and I were chatting just now, were you distracted and didn't concentrate on listening. What are you studying in your dreams during the day?"

Bai Xiaolu was impatient, she thought to herself that this is a filming set, she still needs to give face to Zheng Wentong, the chief producer, and obediently admit her mistake, "Sorry, I was distracted just now, Producer Zheng, please repeat it again."

After Zheng Wentong teased Bai Xiaolu, seeing Bai Xiaolu immediately succumbed, knowing that Bai Xiaolu would get back in other ways after filming today's scene, so he deliberately ignored Bai Xiaolu's words.

Kou Zhanwen thought that Bai Xiaolu didn't hear it, so he kindly repeated, "Since it's a spear picking a carriage, it cannot be a red-tasseled spear, because the material of the red-tasseled spear is ash wood. will break."

"Then we can prepare a steel spear for Hua Mulan in the movie, so it is more reasonable to use the spear to pick up the carriage." Zheng Wentong said.

Bai Xiaolu raised her question, "Was there steel in the Northern Wei Dynasty? Why not design it as an iron spear?"

"According to the archaeologists unearthed the bronze grid iron sword in the tombs of Yangjiashan in Xingcheng City in the late Spring and Autumn Period, through metallographic testing, this iron sword is actually made of steel, which proves that there were already steel objects in the Spring and Autumn Period, so Hua Mulan It is reasonable for the long guns to contain steel." Zheng Wentong said.

"Furthermore, the original text of "Mulan Song" does not state Hua Mulan's usual weapons. The east market buys horses, and the west market buys saddles. Hua Mulan's spear is actually an ancestral item given to her by Hua's father. Perhaps the ancestors of the Hua family There is no shortage of fierce generals, but Huafu did not inherit the bravery of his ancestors, so he never used this steel spear." Zheng Wentong added.

Bai Xiaolu understood now, "No wonder Kou Zhi asked me to drag the spear instead of carrying it when he designed the movement of the spear for me. After all, the steel spear is very heavy, and you can't carry it all the time."

Zheng Wentong said to Bai Xiaolu: "Movies are artistic reprocessing, but no matter how they are processed, they cannot be completely divorced from historical facts. We are making biographical movies, not mythological movies."

"In recent years, there has been a very bad trend in the film and television industry, called historical nihilism, which is eager to overturn certain events or historical figures. Some teenagers have not received good historical and cultural education. After watching these works, they may think that this Human beings are shown in film and television dramas." Zheng Wentong said.

It is not easy for Ang Lee to discuss matters in the mainland film and television industry. The Taiwan Golden Horse Awards has invited Ang Lee to be the chairman of the Executive Committee of the 2018 Golden Horse Awards. Ang Lee also invited Bai Xiaolu and Zheng Wentong to attend the Golden Horse Awards next year. Chairman of the jury for the Golden Horse Awards next year.

Zheng Wentong estimated the time. If "The Story of Mulan" completes its filming task before May next year, then "The Story of Mulan" can still participate in next year's Golden Horse Awards. However, Li An is the chairman of the executive committee. If Bai Xiaolu relies on " "The Legend of Mulan" won the award, and Bai Xiaolu may still be questioned when the time comes.

Moreover, the credibility of the Golden Horse Awards has long since declined. When mainland filmmakers and Hong Kong filmmakers jointly boycott the Golden Horse Awards next year, the Golden Horse Awards will become a self-promotional award for Taiwanese filmmakers.Whether Zheng Wentong and Bai Xiaolu will go next year is actually irrelevant.

After Zheng Wentong discussed the film with Li An and Kou Zhanwen, Zheng Wentong discussed the plot of "The Legend of Mulan" with the screenwriter Gong Gongjun.

Ang Lee noticed Zheng Wentong's actions, and asked executive producer Li Ligong, "Will you Zheng Dong participate in the script setting of the previous movies or TV series produced by Galloping Horse?"

Li Ligong knew that many well-known directors in Hollywood were relatively strong and didn't like producers to interfere in the film production process, so he didn't know if Zheng Wentong's move angered Li Ang.Now that the production of "The Legend of Mulan" has started, if the director is temporarily replaced, it will undoubtedly be a major loss for Galloping Pony, and it may affect the stock price of Galloping Pony at that time.

Li An immediately saw Li Ligong's concerns, "You don't have to worry, Director Zheng didn't interfere with my filming process, so far, the cooperation between Director Zheng and I has been quite happy."

"Before I cooperated with Galloping Pony, I heard many rumors about Zheng Dong. Everyone said that Zheng Dong liked to participate in the script design. Whether it was the movie "Wolf Warrior", or the TV series "Ode to Joy" or "Ordinary "Glory", Zheng Dong participated in the screenwriting work, so I would like to ask, is this a personal hobby of Zheng Dong?" Li An asked.

Li Ligong replied cautiously, "Our Galloping Horse produces a lot of movies and TV series every year, and Zheng Dong will not participate in the screenwriting work of every film and television drama. But as long as it is a film and television drama that Xiaolu participates in, Zheng Dong himself will definitely check it out. script."

Li An smiled warmly, "I can't tell that although Mr. Zheng is young, he is a long-term lover. But it is related to his wife's acting career. It is only natural for Mr. Zheng to be cautious."

Zheng Wentong didn't know about this episode. This year, both Galloping Horse and White Xiaolu Studio have many artists who will appear in movies.After he returns to Puhai from Nanjun City, he will take Zhang Ruonan to see director Luo Luo, and Zheng Wentong will recommend Zhang Ruonan to star in Luo Luo's movie "A River of Sadness".

The movie "I'm Not the God of Medicine" prepared by Wen Muye has also started to be approved. Zheng Wentong has already sent an invitation to Yang Mi to play the heroine Liu Sihui in the film. Yang Mi has already received the script given to her by Galloping Horse.

After Yang Mi saw that the heroine had a dancing scene in the film, she hesitated.Zheng Wentong's words dispelled her worries.

"Yang Mi, if you have seen this year's Wolf Warrior 2, you will know the role of Huang Sicong. I originally reserved it for Principal Wang. Because Principal Wang couldn't go abroad to shoot, I later gave this role to Huang Zitao. Tao's performance is still remarkable."

"I can't guarantee other aspects, but I can guarantee that the box office of this movie will not be less than one billion. You also know the box office appeal of Brother Bo. There is no reason why the box office can't be a big hit with good actors and scripts. You are good Think about it for a few days, after all, I won’t come when the opportunity is too late.” Zheng Wentong said.

　The two updates are completed, avoiding red envelopes in the group, please continue to supervise me tomorrow!
