The Pioneer of the Rebirth Era

Yang Dongxu's words made several people admire again, especially Zhang Yimou's eyes seemed to be thinking a lot.

"I think Young Master Yang's words are right. Since we are filming our own stories, we can't follow the tastes of foreigners. We must film our own characteristics. It's just that if we shoot in this way, will it be unacceptable? After all, in foreigners In my impression, the trend already has a certain understanding of Huaxia drama." Zhang Yimou couldn't help but said after a moment of pondering.

If it was him in the past, he would definitely regard Yang Dongxu as his confidant without saying a word. Because not only Yang Dongxu wants to make this kind of film, he has always insisted on making what he wants rather than indiscriminately, and he doesn't like to follow the trend like this, making some silly changes in the film against his will in order to cater to the market.

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 voice his concerns. After all, this is not the small movie with millions of dollars in the past. If Yang Dongxu's funds are really added to a blockbuster movie worth 50 million US dollars, it will really put a lot of pressure on him as a director.

"I have also considered this, but I have always believed that only by shooting something with my own characteristics can I shock others. Art knows no borders. Even if the language is different, as long as the situation is achieved, it can also touch others.

At the same time, the so-called catering to changes in Hollywood, don't you feel that you are imitating others? Give up our own characteristics and cater to what foreigners want.

They know much more about what they want than us, and those big Hollywood film companies are not as sneaky as you, an outsider, in terms of aspects? People's local combat goals are clear, can you, an outsider, use your own weaknesses to attack other people's strengths, can you win?

So I want to make a breakthrough, and I want to shock those foreigners. Then let them see the powerful side of our ancestors, interpret the arrogance of our ancestors who dominated the world at that time, and let them have a direct and positive understanding of the ancient, the most powerful country in the East. "Yang Dongxu put a piece of meat on the plate in front of him and said.

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

It's not just big, if Yang Dongxu's attitude of pleading for love and going to the epic level is followed, money will be a trivial matter. Because Haina is not short of money, Zhang Weiping can still come up with a lot of money.

The biggest difficulty now is the difficulty of shooting. For example, there are soldiers and horses in a few fighting scenes. Even if the difficulty of shooting is not to create an atmosphere for the panorama, it is not a little bit difficult.

"Isn't it just to solve the problem?" Yang Dongxu asked back, and then said without waiting for Zhang Weiping's answer: "At the same time, besides paying 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 end of the Warring States Period, I came to a factory to process the armor and weapons at that time. If there is a shortage of people for a big scene, the extras may not be able to handle it. I will apply for the cooperation of the army, let alone horses. I can get them back for you no matter what you need, whether domestic or foreign. "

"If the country can cooperate, it will be twice the result with half the effort." Zhang Yimou couldn't help but slapped his thigh, but after the excitement was over, he couldn't help but feel a little worried: "It really can."

"Don't worry, I really need to apply for it at that time. You must know that this movie is not only screened in China, I will use Haina's foreign channels to let it go smoothly when it is screened abroad.

The above will definitely support this kind of cultural output that highlights our China's glory. Maybe we don't need to worry about it at all. After the report, the higher-ups will not only provide manpower and material support, but also give some special funds. "

As Yang Dongxu, who seems to be out of politics, but always pays attention to the national development strategy. It is very clear that the country attaches great importance to cultural output at present, and the project has been reported by then, and the shooting cost of 50 million U.S. dollars will really be placed there.

In terms of the attitude and sincerity of looking for experts to keep improving, the financial support may not be too much. But in other respects, we will definitely provide cooperation along the way.

"If that's the case, I'll definitely use up all I've learned in my life and make this play an epic masterpiece that belongs to China." Zhang Yimou couldn't contain his excitement.

But the big problem is solved, there are still some small problems. For example, the script is not so rigorous now, and it needs to be verified by experts and scholars to make some revisions. At the same time, the start of the film is not originally decided to start in a short period of time. After all, whether it is redesigning costumes or producing props for shooting, it takes a lot of time.

However, these small problems are easy to solve. Yang Dongxu didn't get involved in the problem of the script. The script of the hero is very good, and it must be perfected with the opinions of experts.

Professionals are responsible for the slow research on clothing props. Then the rest are the actors who have already gathered. Originally, it was said that the filming would start in the near future, but it turned out that the filming was stopped now.

But this is a problem for Zhang Yimou, after all, since these people lowered their salaries to film the film, he has taken on a lot of favors, and at this time, he let others dove.

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

So after a general discussion, the atmosphere of the next meal was very cheerful. After the meal, Zhang Yimou held Yang Dongxu's hand as if he had been friends for years. Zhang Weiping and Liu Zongsheng also hooked their shoulders.

Zhang Weiping, who is now integrated into Yang Dongxu's circle, has this idea, but he knows not to act too hastily, after all, the two parties are only cooperating for the first time.

The meal was not so much an invitation for him to call the film director Zhang Yimou over by the way. It might be better to say that Yang Dongxu seems to be very optimistic about Zhang Yimou, and asked him, the boss, to come to accompany him to avoid any misunderstanding.

So in this matter, Zhang Yimou's position in Yang Dongxu's heart is obviously higher than that of his boss. Therefore, even after the cooperation, he probably won't have too many opportunities to deal with Yang Dongxu. On the contrary, because the cooperation is a movie, as the boss of New Screen, Liu Zongsheng, the general manager of Haina, can communicate more.

With this introduction and channel, there will be no major problems in cooperation in the future, and it will actually be a matter of time for him to integrate into Yang Dongxu's circle.

To send him away, Yang Dongxu called a security guard from the Yang Family Banquet to drive him home. Although this amount of alcohol is not much for him at all, and he hasn't been checked for drunk driving yet, it's better to be careful.

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

I got up early in the morning and went for a run in the park. After returning, I punched and stretched my muscles in the yard. Seeing Yang Dongxu standing aside, Du Fei only curled his lips. If he was so angry that he couldn't really beat him, he would definitely beat him up.

"My elder brother has a message saying that if you are free recently, you will go to the Middle East. The oil matter you mentioned is now on the horizon. You can go and see for yourself." Yang Dongxu finished work and stood beside him smoking a cigarette Du Fei threw him a towel.

"Let's maintain the relationship for a while, and we're too busy here to leave." Yang Dongxu walked towards the bathroom while wiping his sweat with a towel.

He has been preparing for getting some oil from the Middle East, but it has always been a small business, and the only few big deals he got were taken over from Natasha and became a second-tier dealer.

But this time Du Suo's special notice really found a smooth channel, so that he can finally have a face-to-face talk with those royal families in the Middle East.

"I'll tell it over there, but you'd better hurry up, after all, there are quite a few people watching over there." Du Fei reminded.

"Understood." Yang Dongxu nodded.

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

Although not all the first-line stars who will be popular in the future are selected, most of them are familiar, and the rest are really aimed at the talent and appearance of the opponent, to see if there will be unexpected gains from training.

Not counting the people Li Fuzhen pushed in halfway, the first phase of the crash course enrolled 33 people, including 22 girls and 11 boys, and the ratio of male to female was almost 1:2.

In the market of the entertainment industry, under normal circumstances, it is easier for beautiful girls to stand out, but this refers to the initial stage. After all, a pretty face is popular everywhere, and there are more chances than men.

But after development, male stars last longer than female stars. A young man can be an idol, and after the age of thirty, he will add more content, and when he is old, he can still be a veteran. In short, as long as there is a chance, age is not a big obstacle.

Female stars are just the opposite. Although it is relatively easy to start because of their appearance, it becomes more difficult as you go further. Especially if you don't become popular when you are young, you can basically consider changing careers later.

After all, when male stars are old, they can play vicissitudes of life, and when female stars are old, except for some die-hard fans with a little taste to calm down their youth, no one likes to look at female stars with wrinkled faces.

So the first special training class was just because there were so many more women than men, not because the ratio of men and women in the information given to him by Liu Zongsheng was like this, he picked them according to the proportion.

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

As for the male artists, there is no need to worry so much, they can choose slowly, maybe those who were eliminated from the list this time can be recruited again when they meet good seedlings after a few years of wild growth outside.

Unless you want to create an idol group, in a special training class like this "semi-finished product", it really doesn't matter whether the men are 20 or 25 years old.

After he arrived at the company, everyone else was there, and he didn't say much, and directly pulled him into the big office for a meeting, let them get acquainted with each other first.

The theme of the special training class this time was acting, so Yang Dongxu didn't plan to ask them to practice singing and dancing. Let's do some training and detailed understanding together in a large classroom, and then directly start the actual combat.
