"The characters here are most importantly divided into three major factions." Hao He said eloquently, "Jianghu Yishi, Dongchang, and Longmen Inn. The intersection of these three forces is Longmen Inn.
Needless to say, the purpose of the Jianghu martyrs was Zhou Huaian, Qiu Moyan and the four Helan Mountain grass bandits who escorted the loyal ministers' children out of the customs. I noticed here, Mr. Chu, that you wrote Zhou Huaian, the leader of the Imperial Army, as an elegant and tolerant man.
A man like this can make a lot of sacrifices in order to achieve his heart's desire, which is why in the end he can use himself as a bargaining chip to get the secret passage to the outside world by marrying Jin Xiangyu.
But it was precisely because of his forbearance that Qiu Moyan finally led four Helan Mountain grass bandits to break through the pass, and they were seriously injured and swallowed by the yellow sand, causing tragedy.
Qiu Moyan is a woman who is chivalrous, courageous, and has her own persistence, but she cannot get rid of some shortcomings in a woman's character. It can be said that the tragedy of this chivalrous woman was doomed from the beginning.
Although Cao Shaoqin, the boss of Dongchang, and the four big stalls are villains, you have clearly portrayed them in the script, and they all have their own characteristics. For example, the four major stalls are either cruel, spicy or reckless.
But the most outstanding one is Cao Shaoqin. Although he is a eunuch, he has the extravagant hope of usurping the country. Although he behaves softly, he is absolutely smart. At the same time, he is precise and ruthless in his dealings and treats his enemies without mercy. If portrayed well, he is a classic villain.
In the last Longmen Inn, the most worthy of portrayal is of course the landlady with gold and jade. This woman in the world of love has a thousand kinds of beauty, long sleeves and is good at dancing. She runs a shady shop in the desert, often cheats and cheats, and at the same time behaves wildly. , looks like a bitch.
But she still has a conscience in her heart and knows what is great good and what is great evil. That's why in the final battle, not only did he kill two Dongchang stalls to avenge his subordinates, but he also accompanied Zhou Huai'an to the end of the world.
If I had to choose, Zhou Huaian would definitely be the leading actor, but the leading female lead should be Jin Xiangyu. "
Hao He said so much in one breath, and felt a little dry in the mouth. After pouring a cup of tea and drinking it, he looked at Shen Huan, wanting to see Shen Huan's reaction.
What he saw was naturally Shen Huan smiling and nodding, obviously very satisfied with his analysis.
"New Longmen Inn" written by Shen Huan is quite different from Mr. Xu's version.
A very important point is that Shen Huan changed the gold-inlaid Longmen Inn.
Anyway, she and her friends have never done anything like human flesh buns, otherwise it would be too disgusting to become a Buddha immediately.
Just like Zhang Qing and Sun Erniang in Water Margin, how could they be ranked among the 108 heroes for their unscrupulous deeds of robbing wealth, killing people, and making human meat buns
No wonder so many people complain that Water Margin is not rigorous and takes things for granted.
In contrast, it's not a big problem to eat black people, do some x-rated business between the Ming Dynasty and the desert, and behave a bit more liberally.
At least Shen Huan could accept it in her heart.
Another thing is that Shen Huan changed Cao Shaoqin again. It is not as facial as Xu's version of "New Dragon Gate Inn", but more like the factory boss in his other work "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate".
In this way, the villain's face is more prominent, and the audience will not feel like they are fighting monsters in a game - all enemies look the same.
There are also some other small changes.
The most important thing is that the original version of "New Dragon Inn" still inherited some of Xu's imprecision, and Shen Huan also had to find and fill in the gaps so that it would look new and innovative.
Others didn't know what "New Dragon Inn" was like, but Shen Huan had seen it.
He didn't want his version to be exactly the same as the old version when it was produced. Wouldn't this weaken his reputation as the best screenwriter in the world
What Hao He just said happened to capture the key point that Shen Huan wanted to express.
For example, an ordinary director would definitely focus on depicting the love story between Qiu Moyan and Zhou Huai'an, which would cause them to toss and turn and break their heart.
A woman like Jin Xiangyu can just be a supporting role.
And Cao Shaoqin, the factory owner, must be bad and evil in everything.
Because many directors will inexplicably feel that only in this way will the audience like it.
As everyone knows, the audience's appetite is always improving.
From being ignorant at the beginning, to being able to distinguish between good and evil, right and wrong, and wanting to have a deeper understanding of the psychological processes of both good and evil, etc., they need more and more and more precision.
Otherwise, the factory belle played by Brother Kun in his previous life would not be so popular.
For a super director like Hao He, as long as he and Shen Huan can reach an agreement on the core content, then the rest will be a trivial matter.
In terms of the performance of details, none of the ten Shen Huans can match Hao He. Allowing Hao He to express himself freely is the respect for this film.
"Director Hao's idea is basically the same as mine." Shen Huan nodded as his thoughts passed, "There is no problem on my side."
"So simple?" Yang Feng was stunned subconsciously.
"It's not simple anymore." Shen Huan explained with a smile, "What is making a movie? It's the storyline and people. The storyline is in the outline, just follow it. But the portrayal of the characters must be very serious. You have to think about it before you can figure it out.
The character traits mentioned by Director Hao are what I want to give them. Now that I can explain this clearly, am I still worried about Director Hao's storytelling ability? "
After all, Yang Feng is a smart man and understands it as soon as he hears it.
As long as Hao He can grasp what Shen Huan cares about most, he will gain Shen Huan's approval.
Shen Huan will not interfere with the rest of his creation.
Even if Hao He makes some changes, the basic things will not be changed, so there will be no conflict between the two.
"Hey, I think this script is very good." Yang Feng said immediately, "I wonder if it is possible for me to play a role according to your opinions?"
Hao He: "!?"
Shen Huan: "..."
really!
Yang Daddy is still the same as Ma Daddy, unable to let go of the temptation of classic film and television roles!
Whenever I get the chance, I want to make a guest appearance!
When Hao He didn't speak, Shen Huan said directly: "Under normal circumstances, shouldn't you be happy to have a role? Why are you here to steal the limelight, Director Yang?"
"I think Cao Shaoqin is quite suitable for me." Yang Feng said without changing his expression: "In addition to the role of Happy, I have discussed with Director Hao to add a female waiter to the inn and let her play it."
There are only three inn waiters in the movie, and only one waiter. It would be nice to add a female waiter.
But Shen Huan was determined not to agree to Yang Feng's extravagant expectations: "Cao Shaoqin can't possibly... Director Yang, how much money are you prepared to invest in making this movie?"
"200000000."
Yang Feng gestured with two fingers, "Teacher Chu Liuxiang is worth 100 million, and director Hao He is also worth 100 million. If you don't spend 200 million on the masterpiece you two collaborated on, you would be sorry for this movie!"
"I just discussed with Director Yang and planned to build a real Longmen Inn in the desert. We will strive to achieve the best results, so we will spend more money." Hao He added a few words beside him.
"Hey, this is pretty good." Shen Huan nodded when he heard this, "Since you are so generous, Mr. Yang, I think Chang Yanxiao, one of the four stalls, the one who falsely passed on the imperial edict to execute the Minister of War, you You can give it a try.”
"Him? He doesn't have any fighting scenes!"
Yang Feng was not very happy. He read the script several times. Apart from his appearance in the opening scene, he was later sent to intercept Zhou Huai'an on the avenue. Of course, he never encountered him and did not appear.
Hao He's face twitched, "Ahem, Director Yang, you have no acting experience before. The remaining three stalls all have scenes and fights, and we are going to use professional martial arts actors to star in them. You are not quite suitable now."
no way.
Although Hao He is the most respected director in the film industry, he can say no to capital.
But the person in front of him is the second richest man in China, with assets of more than 200 billion yuan. He can be killed directly. Moreover, he is also a friend who has been with him for many years. Of course, he must treat him with caution.
Hao He was also secretly glad that Shen Huan was here today, otherwise it would be really difficult for him to shirk it.
Only Shen Huan had nothing to ask for from Yang Feng, and his own reputation was far better than that of Yang Feng, so of course he could refuse so confidently.
Seeing them both saying this, Yang Feng sighed with regret.
"Okay, okay, then that's it for the first movie." Yang Feng could only accept it helplessly, "But if I act well, I must have extra scenes in the second movie! Don't forget!"
Even Yang Kaixin rolled his eyes at this moment.
This dad is really persistent!
