Chapter 565

Then Susie was busy all day long.

After the new year, the weather gradually warmed up, and it seemed that it was already May, Susie suddenly remembered the filming of "Shaolin Temple". After the project was approved, she never asked about it again.

This is the normal state of her work in the film company, and she only cares about project approval.

She made a phone call to ask Fang Hanwen about the filming progress of "Shaolin Temple".

Fang Hanwen said: "It's been a while, I have a sample for about half an hour, you can come and have a look."

Susie arrived at the company immediately, and Fang Hanwen asked people to take out the samples and showed them in the company's small screening hall.

After watching for less than 2 minutes, Susie's face turned dark.

The leading actor of "Shaolin Temple" was not the international kung fu superstar she was familiar with, but another actor she was not familiar with.

It was only then that Susie realized that something serious had happened. She didn't watch the rest of the film, and went straight out of the screening room.

Fang Hanwen followed her out, "What's the matter? The film is not good?"

Su Qian said: "Show me the list of directors and leading actors."

Fang Hanwen hurriedly motioned to the assistant to get it, and Susie looked through it. Whether it was the director or the leading actor, none of them were the ones she was familiar with.

Seeing Su Qian's solemn expression, Fang Hanwen was very worried. After all, this film was proposed by a big boss in the mainland, and it also had the mission of boosting the national self-confidence, so he didn't want to mess it up.

"Isn't this film bad to shoot?"

Susie entered the office with the list and Fang Hanwen, and said seriously, "No."

"Not to mention nothing new, the fighting movements are also stage-like and dramatic, lacking a sense of reality."

Fang Hanwen is now completely convinced by Susie's knowledge and luck, he said anxiously, "Then what should I do?"

Susie was categorical, "Retake."

Fang Hanwen was stunned for a moment, "Reshoot? But hundreds of thousands have been invested now, if we remake—"

Su Xi said: "No matter how much money is invested, this film must be re-shot."

The reason why she didn't intervene too much was because she wanted an authentic "Shaolin Temple". She didn't want the world to lose such a classic movie just because her butterfly flapped its wings.

Susie frowned and thought about it, she remembered that the director of "Shaolin Temple" was surnamed Zhang, what was his name.

She patted her head vigorously: "Find Director Zhang Weiming to shoot."

Fang Hanwen blinked, "Zhang Weiming?"

Director Zhang actually signed a contract with their company. However, Fang Hanwen didn't use him for the filming of "Shaolin Temple" this time. Another director was used.

Fang Hanwen only hesitated for a second before instructing his assistant, "Call Director Zhang immediately, and tell him that President Su is waiting to talk to him."

The assistant hurried out to make a phone call.

Susie sat there waiting, flipping through a few magazines in the office.

When she saw the cover of the magazine, she let out a "Huh". Fang Hanwen looked over, "This is a movie magazine that was released last year. Not to mention it's selling well. Our company has ordered several copies."

Su Qian pursed her lips and smiled, "Uncle Fang, Boss Song and I have nothing to do with this magazine."

Fang Hanwen slapped his thigh, "The water rushed to the Dragon King Temple!"

"If I had known earlier, I should have paid a visit to the pier. Look at the latest issue. Film critics commented on the film we just released, saying it was vulgar."

Susie giggled, "Whatever they say, this is also a kind of propaganda, vulgar is vulgar, as long as it can make money."

The main function of movies is entertainment, and not all movies are educational movies.

However, it is not uncommon in Hollywood films to make movies with private goods and implicitly promote certain values.

After flipping through a few magazines, Director Zhang also came over.

Su Xi then said that the company was filming "Shaolin Temple" recently, and Zhang Weiming also knew about it, after all, it had been filming for a while.

Su Qian said: "I just watched the sample, and I'm not satisfied. It's still a routine martial arts movie, not what I want."

"Director Zhang, I want to ask, if this film is entrusted to you to shoot, what are your thoughts?"

Zhang Weiming was a little excited. Mr. Su would not be aimless. If he spoke well, he might be the director of this film.

Although he has signed a contract with Universal Pictures, but it is his turn to make not many films. So far, he has been in film for some years, and the number of films he has filmed is less than one slap.

Zhang Weiming thought about it carefully, "I've read the script. If I'm allowed to shoot, the script will have to be changed."

He looked up and saw that Susie had no intention of objecting, but was listening carefully, and he became more courageous, "I think it's best to use real martial arts athletes to participate in this film."

"The movements of martial arts students in these theaters are too stylized, there is no freshness, and the fights are not exciting."

Susie had a smile on her face, "Very good, very good, I think Director Zhang's ideas are very compatible with mine."

Zhang Weiming became more energetic, "A few years ago, domestic martial arts athletes went abroad to perform, and I was one of the people who followed the filming."

"After seeing real kung fu, to be honest, I don't like the fancy fists and embroidered legs of these martial arts students."

Susie smiled and asked, "Then you mean to choose actors from the mainland martial arts athletes?"

In fact, Zhang Weiming still had a vague idea. Hearing what Su Xi said, he nodded vigorously, "I have this idea."

"Our country is so big, and there are so many domestic martial arts athletes, it is not difficult to choose one or two good-looking ones as the protagonists."

"Besides, since I was filming "Shaolin Temple", my idea was to go to the real Shaolin Temple in the mainland to shoot. After all, many buildings present a sense of historical vicissitudes, which cannot be reflected by the houses built in the studio."

Su Qian gave Zhang Weiming a thumbs up. This is a director who really has ideas and does things seriously.

She looked at Zhang Weiming and said, "Director Zhang, I fully support your ideas. You will be the one to make this movie."

Zhang Weiming was overwhelmed with surprise in an instant. His ideas just now were a bit out of the ordinary. It is actually very risky to use martial arts athletes without any acting experience to make a movie, and the shooting will be very difficult. Unexpectedly, Su Zong would agree with him and never Without hesitation, he entrusted such a heavy burden to himself.

Before he had time to say anything, Susie continued: "This film will be screened in Hong Kong City and the Mainland at the same time. I also place great expectations on this film. I hope Mr. Zhang can show his best state and earnestly Get this movie done."

Zhang Weiming clenched his fists, "President Su, don't worry, I will work hard and try to make a movie that is popular and well-received."

Susie smiled, "I believe in you."

"If you need anything, you can just mention it to the company. If you need cooperation from the mainland, the company will say hello."

She turned to Fang Hanwen, "By the way, while Mr. Fang is here, I have an idea. I want to be the producer of this film."

"I don't know what Mr. Fang wants?"
