At first, I just wanted to make money

Chapter 571 I'm Not Interested in "Red Cliff"

Why do so many secretaries keep toothbrushes in the office...

Really useful!

Ahem...

After washing his face and rinsing his mouth, Zhang Xi followed Shen Xudong with his bag: "Where are you going?"

"To see Director Han..."

Zhang Xi suddenly thought of something: "...Because of "Red Cliff"?"

"...Yes, it is because of "Red Cliff", you also know?"

"...I have read the documents."

That's right, he is Shen Xudong's assistant after all, so he must know what's going on in the circle!

Changing roles in "Red Cliff" is a big deal!
The first announced lineup: Zhou Runfa played Zhou Yu, Liang Chaowei played Zhuge Liang, and then... Zhou Runfa was fired by Zhang Jiazhen!

It is said that Zhou Runfa not only required the crew to pay all the film remuneration at one time when the filming started, but also made nearly a hundred requirements that completely violated the regulations.

Thinking about it, I know that the request must be tricky and unreasonable. Wu Yusen and Zhang Jiazhen were the ones who worked hard with him and made him famous!
Zhang Jiazhen is really Zhou Runfa’s bole—from 91 to 92, he held Zhou Runfa’s Film Retrospective Exhibition in Chicago, New York, Boston and London, England, showing six or seven films starring him, introducing him to foreign audiences and Film critics know.

Later, he was introduced to sign with William Morris Agency, one of the largest Hollywood agencies, and he held a party for Zhou Runfa in Beverly Hills, inviting many producers, screenwriters, directors and agents to him.

After getting into the car, Zhang Xi asked, "Why does Brother Fa make so many demands?"

Shen Xudong said casually: "...Maybe his wife is too demanding!"

"...Luxury toilet car?"

"Correct!"

The luxury toilet car is what the crew of "Golden Armor" accused Zhou Runfa of!
The 50 luxury RV is only used as a toilet - that's Zhou Runfa's wife's request.

This made Zhang Weiping unbearable—how expensive is your shit?
Zhang Xi was silent for a while: "Then why isn't he worried about his own future when he does this?"

"He is in his sixties, so how can he have a future? Besides, he has two drama contracts in his hands, "Dragon Ball" and "Children of Yellowstone"..." Speaking of this, Shen Xudong suddenly wanted to test his assistant, so he asked: "Let's not talk about this, hey, do you think this is a hype?"

Zhang Xi shook his head: "Probably not!"

"why?"

"With such a large team and such a large investment in "Red Cliff", there is no need to hype such a big event of changing roles!"

"Haha... makes sense!"

Netizens have different opinions about Zhou Runfa's resignation from "Red Cliff", some from Zhou Runfa, and some from Wu Yusen...

More people think it is hype.

It is understandable, after all, hype is rife at this stage!

No matter what it is, it must be fried again.

Therefore, audiences often see topics like "Wolf is Coming" appearing frequently, which has become the norm.

Subconsciously feel hype!

"Red Cliff" does not need this kind of hype.

On the horse, just before starting the machine, the hero is replaced?
This is not hype, but a scandal!

……

Regarding "Red Cliff", China Film refers to Tianmei Media's investment in "Zhao Zilong"-the basic policy is to jointly invest and divide by region, and the film companies in each region are responsible for local publicity and subsequent profits.

Isn't this Zhou Run's resignation?

Instead of Liang Chaowei, several investors doubted Liang Chaowei's appeal...

Bi Zhou Runfa is an international superstar, while Liang Chaowei can only be regarded as a Chinese superstar!

Shen Xudong comforted: "...Three Kingdoms theme, as long as it is not too outrageous, the probability of being a blockbuster is quite high..."

"Now Zhou Run is resigning!"

"For the sequel to "Zhao Zilong", we all dare to change people. It's normal for "Red Cliff" to change people..."

Han Shanping frowned: "...But I heard that you don't like Wu Yusen?"

Shen Xudong admitted: "If you don't like it, you don't like it, but I never doubted that "Red Cliff" will be a big hit."

"So sure?"

"The theme of the Three Kingdoms is very popular..."Red Cliff" cannot be underestimated...I am very optimistic about its market performance!"

"...Then you invest?"

Shen Xudong thought for a while, then shook his head: "I want to do the "Three Kingdoms" series myself, so suddenly investing in "Red Cliff" is outrageous..."

"...Didn't you say that it would definitely sell well?"

Shen Xudong shook his head and explained: "The "Three Kingdoms" series I want to make revolves around famous generals and ministers... There are already several project leaders, and I don't want to get involved with Wu Yusen... Otherwise, let me introduce you to an investor ?”

"Is that the Shaanxi coal boss?"

"...You also know Boss Chen?"

"He came to see me a few times, I think he is too good at exploiting..."

"...People are passionate about movies!"

Han Dong glanced at Shen Xudong: "...Okay, then you let him go to China Film Group to find me tomorrow."

Stopping this topic, Director Han suddenly thought of something: "You don't like Wu Yusen? Why?"

"...Have you read the script of "Red Cliff"?" Without waiting for Director Han to speak, Shen Xudong continued: "...Wu Yusen was born in a Jianghu film, and his way of thinking is accustomed to Jianghu. The story of the Three Kingdoms is definitely not a group of Jianghu people. The chivalry and enmity deduced by the world...but the script of "Red Cliff" gave me this feeling!"

In "Red Cliff", the hero has become the boss of the underworld, the strategist has become a chivalrous knight, and the general has become a reckless man, so the plot and heroic deeds have disappeared.

and then?
Due to the existence of the original work, there is absolutely nothing wrong with the overall structure and direction of the story. Coupled with the large investment, there are many big scenes and epic effects, but it does not match the characters.

The two emotions are further amplified under the effect of the exquisite picture, so it gives people a feeling of nondescript.

This is why people don't like "Red Cliff"...

In addition, the role of Xiao Qiao messed up the main line - sleeping with Zhou Yu and drinking tea with Cao Cao!
Especially the lower part, this film is completely over, the branch line is understandable, it is too much to stir into the main line.Xiao Qiao drank tea with Cao Cao, what the hell was thinking, Zhou Yu was so angry that he glowed green.What a beautiful social butterfly, Zhou Yu regards his wife as his wife, he is really the governor!
It is said...Wu Yusen felt that Huang Gai's bitter trick was too stupid, Cao Cao couldn't remember it, so let's delete the bitter trick...

It is understandable to delete it, after all, there is no culture, but what kind of brain circuit makes him feel that it is more stupid than a woman to enter the military camp to drink tea with?

Shen Xudong went on to spray: "I really don't understand why when Cao Cao was finally let go, Zhou Yu suddenly said something very melancholy and literary: We all lost...where did we lose?"

Han Shanping helped explain: "...he wants to express peace..."

"Peace? If Cao Cao is released, there will be peace... Those dead soldiers are not human lives? I feel that he doesn't understand "Three Kingdoms" at all. It's not "Red Cliff", but "Blood Battle at Causeway Bay"..."

By the way, he also added: "He also fooled Chen Hao into playing Sun Shangxiang and carrying the sedan chair for the new couple!"

"... What is carrying a sedan chair? This is called the sincere cooperation of actors from the three places on both sides of the strait for a Chinese-language masterpiece."
