327. Chapter 327 Scene 327: The Flying Ball Launched

"Okay, this matter is decided, I have another thing to announce." Li Xiaole looked at the letter that had won the respect of everyone present, including Jiang Wen and Huang Jianxing. He then announced again. Seeing that everyone's attention returned to him again, he slowly said:

"This time the shooting task is heavy, and the crew will set up two crews a and b. Group a is my responsibility and Group b is my responsibility and Group b is my responsibility and Teacher Jiang is my responsibility and will be jointly guided."

"Ab system?" Huang Jianxing felt nervous when he heard this. The so-called Ab system is usually a production method that only large-scale films are produced. Since the cost of venue and time is saved, the entire crew will be divided into two small crews, taking turns to work in two shifts, and staggering the actors' scenes and shooting without stopping. This method will improve the shooting efficiency with the highest efficiency, but will also bring great hidden dangers.

This is the question of the style of the two crews. Can the styles of the two different directors be consistent? Fortunately, Jiang Wen... I'm afraid no one can keep up with his extraordinary narrative rhythm.

"This is not good, I think it's better to use one group." Jiang Wen frowned and expressed his objection. After all, no matter how he wants to take the initiative, he cannot be a director of Group A who has the right to edit and modify. He only follows the director of Group B who is ordered by the director of the director. He doesn't want to do such a cowardly job.

"Teacher Jiang, listen first, I will announce it." Li Xiaole tapped the table lightly and reminded everyone to continue listening: "This time, the two groups a and b do not have the primary or secondary. Both groups of directors have the right to modify the other group. If you are not satisfied with the other party's shooting, you can reshoot it at any time..."

As soon as Li Xiaole finished speaking, there was a commotion in the conference room and began to whisper. Now everyone fully understood that Li Fengmao had no intention of giving up Quan from beginning to end, but was preparing to have a gentleman battle with Jiang Wen to win with real shooting quality.

Everyone couldn't help but admire Li Xiaole's courage, but they also felt that the prospects for this matter were unpredictable. Although Li Xiaole used this trick to resolve all the advantages that Jiang Wen had established before, he also put himself in the most dangerous position. Jiang Wen, the director of Group B, had a veto power? Then can't all the scenes he was not satisfied with? Will this movie become Jiang Wen or Li Xiaole's work?

"It's interesting, very interesting." Jiang Wen raised his lips and showed an intriguing smile. He stood up and shook hands with Li Xiaole. This was his heart that was really moved by Li Xiaole's mind. He realized that Li Xiaole did not care about the dominance of the movie, but focused on how to do it in the movie. This is a competition for gentlemen and talent competition. There is only one winner-the movie "Let the Bullets Fly".

"Now I will announce the allocation of the two crews." After Li Xiaole shook hands with Jiang Wen, he smiled and assigned the crew members: "Taimiao Studio and the screenwriter team belong to Group B, and the seven bandits and actors are also belong to Group B for preliminary role training. Huang Silang and Ma Bond are assigned to Group A and I will train the role. Mr. Jiang's group is assigned to this group, and the joint scenes are led by Group A. Teacher Jiang, Mr. Huang, what do you think about this ratio?"

"Listen to Director Li." Huang Jianxing looked at Li Xiaole who was determined to be alone, and could only sigh deeply, turn his head and look at Jiang Wen, who is full of momentum, shakes his head repeatedly. It seems that this movie will belong to Jiang Wen again.

"So now, this is the case. Teacher Jiang, you take people to various places to see the scenery. I will gather the actors. The seven bandits will be handed over to you to prepare. I will be responsible for the other actors."

"clear."

"Okay, everyone will take their place from now on. I will tighten the strings for me~ I will finish the meeting."

Li Xiaole announced the end of the meeting in a loud voice, and everyone responded with great enthusiasm, "Okay!" and everyone set out to see each other. A unique movie that was unprecedented in the mainland began to officially get on track.

June has passed and the weather is getting hot. As July comes, the hot summer season for mainland movies has also begun. The epic movie "Troy: The Trojan Massacre" was released for $175 million in the third week. Although Brad Pitt, two handsome Hollywood guys, still did not win the title of the weekly box office list.

It has won 6.72 million in 876 theaters in China, with 11-inch screens, and the total box office in the mainland has risen to 3.80,000, which is expected to break the 50 million mark when the painting is finished. In front of him is DreamWorks' animation masterpiece "Monster Shrek 2". This $45 million animated film just won nearly 300 million box office in the North American market, setting a new box office record for global animated films. It won 6.82 million in a single week after entering the mainland film industry.

The animated film worth mentioning has a positive review rate of 78 per cent on Tianya.com, second only to the positive review rate of 79 per cent on "If You Are the One".

However, the real king of summer season is not a Hollywood movie, but two mainland productions. Director of "Crazy Racing" directed by Ning Hao, the second studio of China Film Studio, was released with the original signature of "Crazy Stone". Although in terms of reputation, everyone will be as happy as Li Xiaole's "Crazy Stone", the so-called "Crazy Stone" is not as exciting as Li Xiaole's "Crazy Stone", but Taiwanese comedian Rong Xiang and Jiude join the new actor group with Huang Bo, which is extremely funny and won the single-week record of '360,000 yuan in one go, shocking the film industry.

Li Cengkuan’s assistant director is so awesome~? What a joke~!

Ning Hao has only directed "Happiness is Like a Flower" and suddenly produced such a Li Cengkuan-style work, which made everyone feel inexplicable. Everyone predicted that his box office would pass the 50 million mark. The media naturally praised him as "Li Cengkuan-Second" and was included in the category of "seventh generation director".

The second film of the three-step costume song directed by Zhang Yimou, "The Ambush on Ten", brings the box office success of "Heroes" last year. This beautiful martial arts blockbuster easily won 32.39 million yuan in 5 days, surpassing the heroes and firmly ranked first.

The martial arts masterpiece "The Ambush" carefully created by director Zhang Yimou is known as the first martial arts film with love as the main theme. It has an innovative film that has created a new type. On the day of its release on July 16, it was released nationwide. On the day of its opening, it was released on 9'Cinemas, with 1,342 screens.

The actual effect did not meet expectations. Perhaps it was because Zhang Yimou's artistic atmosphere was too strong, or perhaps it was because he was self-indulgent to believe that the appreciation level of mainland audiences had improved a lot, which directly led to an embarrassing situation of self-admiration.

According to the evaluations of many important media before, "The Ambush on Ten" should be a very touching film. You must bring tissues to watch "The Ambush on Ten". Producer Zhang Weiping also patted his chest and said, "If you don't cry when you watch "The Ambush on Ten", come to me." In fact, during the watching "The Ambush on Ten", the most common ones in the theater were not sobbing but laughter.

In the New Century Cinema, which held its premiere in Guangzhou, the audience was still serious at the beginning. After the scene where Liu Dehua and Jincheng Wu Shulin met, because Takeshi Kaneshiro suffered a leg injury to save his younger sister, Liu Dehua comforted her: "Brother, are you okay? Are you seriously injured?" Liu Dehua's stiff classical Chinese design in front suddenly became a very popular life-like term, which made people feel that time and space were intertwined, and many viewers laughed.

When Zhang Ziyi was executed by the order of his elder sister and led him to the execution ground, the geography and scene changed several times. They walked and finally came to the grass. An audience complained: "Most of the earth has left, why haven't you arrived yet?" The scene suddenly burst into hilariousness.

Perhaps the film itself has many problems, or perhaps the appreciation ability of mainland audiences is far enough to meet Zhang Yimou's expectations, so "The Ambush" has a far less popular box office than the previous "Hero".

This made Zhang Yimou, who was very generous and cost-effective, felt a little disappointed. After all, the previous box office of "If You Are the One" won 300 million yuan and broke the record of "Hero". The new picture was originally ambitious and wanted to prove his status as the king of mainland movies in an environment of piracy and purge, but he did not expect that whether the box office could exceed 200 million yuan this time was a big problem, let alone compete with "If You Are the One".

"Making big-produced movies will be the mainstream in the future." "We will continue to shoot this type of movie."

In an exclusive interview with CCTV 8's "Movie Report", the three directors Zhang Yimou, Feng Xiaogang and Li Xiaole all published their own new work and made a special program of "Director Face to Face" to talk about their respective views and expectations for the prospects of mainland films.

Zhang Yimou, the creation of the blockbuster era, did not surpass himself. Should mainland movies turn back to the path of low-cost art films? Although the box office is not low, "The Ambush" invested 250 million yuan alone. Even if he got 200 million yuan in the mainland, he could not recover half of the investment.

If Zhang Yimou had not had international influence and had 200 million overseas copyright sales as a guarantee, then this new picture would likely face a situation of losing all its money.

"There was a problem with the book this time. The key is that mainland audiences cannot understand the story, no matter how exquisite the picture is, they cannot allow the audience to enter. This is something I did not expect." Zhang Yimou said to the camera lens:

"But I think our mainstream films in mainland China still need to take the route of refinedness and cannot just revolve around at a small cost. If we just want to make money, we will just consume the original market, just like the path that Hong Kong movies have taken before."

"Yes, I'm actually preparing a costume film. After all, only this kind of theme can enter the international market. We need to learn from Director Zhang in this regard." Feng Xiaogang quickly waved his hand and smiled. When the interview reporter heard this, he took the opportunity to throw the topic to Li Xiaole: "Director Li, do you plan to make costume films? Or will you use the comedy themes you are good at targeting overseas markets?"

The topic shifted to Li Xiaole. Everyone was curious whether Li Fengkuan had the idea of ​​shooting costume films and going overseas? "Okay, this matter is settled, I have another thing to announce." Li Xiaole looked at the letter that had won the respect of everyone present, including Jiang Wen and Huang Jianxing. He then announced that he would slowly say:

"This time the shooting task is heavy, and the crew will set up two crews a and b. Group a is my responsibility and Group b is my responsibility and Group b is my responsibility and Teacher Jiang is my responsibility and will be jointly guided."
