Pioneer of the Rebirth Era

Yang Dongxu's words made several people admire him again, especially Zhang Yimou, who looked thoughtful and seemed to have thought a lot.

"I think what Mr. Yang said is right. Since we are filming our own stories, we cannot follow the tastes of foreigners. We must film our own characteristics. But if we film like this, will we not adapt to the local environment? After all, in foreigners

In my impression, I already have a certain understanding of Chinese dramas." Zhang Yimou couldn't help but said after thinking for a moment.

If it were him in the past, he would have regarded Yang Dongxu as a confidant without any hesitation. Because Yang Dongxu is not the only one who wants to make such a film. He has always insisted on making what he wants rather than indiscriminately. He does not like to follow the crowd and go against his will in order to cater to the market.

Make some silly-looking changes in the movie.

But during this period of time, the pressure of looking for investment and self-reflection did not shake his inner persistence. But he had to express his concerns. After all, this is not the previous small film with millions of dollars. If Yang Dongxu funds

The addition of an additional $50 million blockbuster really put a lot of pressure on him as a director.

"I have also considered this, but I have always believed that only by photographing something with your own characteristics can you shock others. Art knows no boundaries. Even if you don't understand the language, as long as the situation is right, you can move others.

At the same time, don’t you feel that the current so-called catering to the changes in Hollywood is imitating others? Giving up our own characteristics to cater to what foreigners want.

They know much better about what they want than we do, and the big movie companies in Hollywood are no better than you, an outsider. They have clear goals for their local operations. How can you, an outsider, use your own shortcomings to attack the interests of other people?

Win?

Therefore, if we want to make a breakthrough and shock those foreigners, we must let them see the powerful side of our ancestors, interpret the domineering power of our ancestors who dominated the world at that time, and let them understand the ancient No. 1 in the East.

Only if the powerful country has a direct and positive understanding." Yang Dongxu picked up a piece of meat and put it on the plate in front of him and said.

"But in this case, it will be much more difficult to shoot." Zhang Weiping pondered for a while and said.

Not only is it big, but according to Yang Dongxu's attitude of begging for favors and rushing towards the epic level, money is not a big deal. Because Haina is not short of money, he Zhang Weiping can still come up with a lot of money.

The biggest difficulty now is the difficulty of shooting. For example, the soldiers and horses in some fight scenes are not even difficult to shoot to create the atmosphere of the time without giving a panoramic view.

"Isn't it necessary to solve problems when they arise?" Yang Dongxu asked back, and then said to himself without waiting for Zhang Weiping to answer: "At the same time, in addition to providing money, I will try my best to cooperate in solving other problems.

For example, when it comes to finding authoritative experts to reproduce the costumes of the late Warring States Period, I come to the factory to process the armor and weapons from that time. If there is a shortage of people for a big scene and the extras are not able to handle it, I apply for military cooperation. There is no need to worry about horses or anything like that, whether at home or abroad.

I can get you whatever you need."

"If the country can cooperate, then it will be twice the result with half the effort." Zhang Yimou couldn't help but pat his thigh, but after getting excited, he couldn't help but worry: "It really can..."

"Don't worry, I will really need to apply when the time comes. You must know that this drama will not only be screened in China, I will use Haina's foreign channels to make it smooth when it is screened abroad.

The higher authorities will definitely support this kind of cultural export that highlights the glory of China. Maybe we don’t have to worry about it at all. After reporting it, the higher authorities will not only provide manpower and material support, but also some special funds."

As a person who seems to be outside of politics, but always pays attention to the national development strategy, Yang Dongxu is very aware of the current emphasis on cultural export by the country. When the time comes, the project will be reported, and where will the US$50 million filming cost actually go?

A swing.

If you show your attitude and sincerity in finding experts, you may not receive much financial support. But in other aspects, you will definitely be able to cooperate smoothly all the way.

"If this is the case, I will definitely use all my knowledge to make this drama an epic masterpiece for China." Zhang Yimou was so excited that he couldn't control himself.

However, the big problem has been solved, but there are still some small problems. For example, the script does not seem to be so rigorous now and needs to be verified by experts and scholars to make some modifications. At the same time, the filming of the movie cannot be started in a short time as originally planned. After all, no matter it is

It takes a lot of time to redesign costumes and produce props for shooting.

However, these small problems can be easily solved. Yang Dongxu did not interfere with the script. The hero script is already very good, and with the opinions of experts, it will definitely be improved.

The costumes and props were gradually researched and professionals were responsible for it. Then the rest were the actors who had already gathered. It was originally said that filming would start in the near future, but it turned out that the filming was stopped now. When the filming was going to take place, it was impossible to determine the time, which was a bit ridiculous.

Feel.

But this is a problem for Zhang Yimou. After all, these people have to bear a lot of favors since they cut their salary to film, and at this time, they let others go.

But for Yang Dongxu, this is not a problem at all. Maggie Cheung and Jet Li are both Haina artists, and they were solved in an instant. He didn't need to come forward for the rest, Liu Zongsheng just came out to say hello.

So after a rough discussion, the atmosphere during the rest of the meal was very cheerful. After finishing the meal, Zhang Yimou took Yang Dongxu's hand as if they were friends for years. Zhang Weiping and Liu Zongsheng also put their arms around each other.

Zhang Weiping, who has now integrated into Yang Dongxu's circle, has this idea, but knows not to rush it. After all, it is only the first time for both parties to cooperate.

This meal was not so much an invitation for him to call the film director Zhang Yimou over. It was more that Yang Dongxu seemed to be very optimistic about Zhang Yimou and asked him, his boss, to come over to avoid any misunderstandings.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Therefore, in this matter, Zhang Yimou's status in Yang Dongxu's heart is obviously higher than that of his boss. Therefore, even if they cooperate, the chance of him dealing with Yang Dongxu will probably not be

Too many, but because we are collaborating on a movie, as the boss of New Picture and Liu Zongsheng, the general manager of Haina, we can communicate more.

With this introduction and channel, there will be no big problems in future cooperation, and it will only be a matter of time before he integrates into Yang Dongxu's circle.

After sending the person away, Yang Dongxu asked a security guard from the Yang Family Banquet to drive him home. Although this amount of wine was not much for him, and there was no investigation for drunk driving now, it was better to be careful.

Go home and take a shower, then climb into bed and sleep until dawn. It makes sense to have a little drink at night to help you sleep.

He got up early in the morning and went for a run in the park. When he came back, he boxed in the yard to stretch his muscles. Du Fei curled his lips when he saw Yang Dongxu Daquan standing aside. He was so angry that if he really couldn't beat him, he would definitely

They will torture each other.

"There is news from my elder brother, saying that if you are free recently, you will go to the Middle East. The oil thing you mentioned is now clear. You can go and see for yourself." Yang Dongxu stopped working and stood aside smoking a cigarette.

Du Fei threw him a towel.

"Let's maintain the relationship for a while and then talk about it. It's been too busy here recently to leave." Yang Dongxu walked towards the bathroom while wiping his sweat with a towel.

He has been preparing to get some oil from the Middle East, but it has always been a small deal. The only big deals he has made have been taken over from Natasha as a second-tier dealer.

But this time, Du Suo's special notice really opened up a channel, allowing him to finally have face-to-face talks with the royal families of the Middle East.

"I will tell them over there, but you'd better hurry up, after all, there are a lot of people watching over there." Du Fei reminded.

"Understood." Yang Dongxu nodded.

After taking a shower, I had a hearty breakfast, and then went directly to Haina Company. After several days of preparation, the list of the crash course proposed by Yang Dongxu has been roughly determined.

Although not all the first-line stars chosen will be popular in the future, most of them look familiar, and the remaining ones are really based on their talent and appearance to see if there will be any unexpected gains after cultivating them.

Not counting the people who were brought in by Li Fuzhen, the first phase of the crash course enrolled 33 people, including 22 girls and 11 boys. The male to female ratio is almost 1:2.

In the entertainment industry, it is generally easier for pretty girls to stand out, but this refers to the initial stage. After all, a pretty face is popular everywhere and has more opportunities than a boy.

But after development, male stars last longer than female stars. When a boy is young, he can become an idol. After he is thirty, his content will increase. When he is old, he can still be an old actor. In short, as long as there is a chance, age is not a big obstacle.

Female celebrities are just the opposite. Although it is relatively easy to start out because of their appearance, it becomes more difficult the further you go. Especially if you are not popular when you are young, you can basically consider changing careers later.

After all, male celebrities can still play with the vicissitudes of life when they get old. When female celebrities get old, except for some die-hard fans who have moderate tastes and calm down their youth, no one likes to see female celebrities with wrinkled faces.

Therefore, the first period of the special training class only had so many more women than men. It was not that the ratio of men to women in the information Liu Zongsheng gave him was like this. He selected them according to the ratio.

Rather, in addition to the few people he had previously appointed, he wanted to see if the quantity could lead to a qualitative change, or simply to get a few more spare tires. As long as one of them was an unexpected surprise, he would be considered a profit.

As for the male artists, there is no need to be so anxious. You can choose slowly. Maybe those who were originally eliminated from the list this time will grow wildly outside for a few years and hone their skills, and they can be recruited again when they encounter good talents.

Unless you want to create an idol group, in such a "semi-finished" special training class, there is really no difference whether the boy is 20 years old or 25 years old.

After he arrived at the company, everyone else had arrived. Without saying anything, he directly led them to the big office for a meeting, so that they could get familiar with each other first.

The theme of this special training class is acting, so Yang Dongxu has no intention of letting them practice singing and dancing. They will first do some training in a large classroom and get a detailed understanding, and then start the actual combat directly.
