On January 18, the directors of China Film Group were holding the annual end-of-year celebration banquet. The huge success of "Let the Bullets Fly" in the box office made the entire group prosperous.

Although the leaders of the Film Bureau criticized the following article for "the behind-the-scenes behind Li Xiaole's third edition, which is serious violation of regulations, and there is a suspicion of deliberately challenging the review work of the Film Bureau, and it is recommended that China Film Group deal with it seriously." But if you say that, you can say that in "Letting the Bullet"

With the box office of Fei" close to 700 million, all this is no longer important.

Several directors led by Shi Dongming, Li Xiaole, who protested before the start of the Bullet, wasted the group's resources. At the celebration, they all praised the great achievements of the Second Studios with a smile:

"I hope that other directors in the group will also give full play to their innovative spirit, create innovative themes, be enterprising, and be the first..."

Thousands of employees of the group performed a show and won the lottery, and the scene was very lively, but no one seemed to find the protagonist who should have appeared here today, Li Xiaole, the director of the Second Studios.

"Mr. Han, where will Director Li go?" "Mr. Han, what is his next plan? Should we help our factory? Our factory has a lot of staff~" The directors of several studios surrounded Han Sanpin and asked.

, Han Sanpin just shook his head frequently and said, "I don't know either."

It was not until Han Xiaoli found an excuse to pull him out of the crowd that Han Sanpin could take a breath. After taking a long breath, he tried to relax his brain nerves that had been tense.

"How is it? Have the theater's accounts been reached? The group's theater chain estimates that the overall profit will be around 400 million yuan this time, so the theater chain should not be dragged out." Han Sanpin rubbed his temples and barely opened his eyes to ask Han Xiaoli.

"Last month's time has arrived, with 170 million yuan in recovered funds... In fact, Director Li's dividend alone is nearly 150 million yuan." Han Xiaoli said very enviously.

"150 million... Even if the cost is deducted, his profit will be 40 million. This kid's assets are probably over 100 million now..." Han Sanpin shook his head with a smile, thinking that this number was too incredible.

The entire group's annual budget is only 100 million yuan. Li Xiaole has only filmed a few works, and his personal value is comparable to the annual investment of China Film Group a few years ago...

"Well... this is only temporary. It is estimated that the domestic box office of "Bullet" should be over 700 million yuan this time, and the overall box office profit is 257 million yuan, plus the number of sold in Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Southeast Asia

The royalties have reached 95 million, the royalties in the United States and Europe are 300,000, and audio-visual products are about 15 million. After deducting the group's 65 million publicity fee, Director Li's personal dividends this time must have exceeded 200 million..." Han Xiaoli

Additional explanation.

"200 million... No wonder, no wonder." Han Sanpin looked up at the sky with thoughtfulness. Director Wei from the children's studio next to him came over to say hello and didn't notice it. Director Wei was embarrassed and afraid, so he had to do so.

Dare to come over.

"What do Director Li wants to shoot the next film?" Han Xiaoli asked curiously. This is also the most concerned issue for everyone at the celebration meeting before the New Year. Now everyone in the group thinks that following Li Xiaole will definitely have a good life.

Everyone wants to find out about his next work, hoping to get a share of it.

This time, "Let the Bullets Fly" made everyone completely conquered by Li Xiaole. Everyone in China Film Group is extremely expecting the future and is full of eager hope. This situation is Han Sanpin and Han Xiaoli, the two new directors.

What General Manager Chang is most looking forward to is that it has only been during this period that they have truly felt that they have become the real owner of China Film Group.

And all of this is based on Li Xiaole's works. What is his next work? Can it maintain its current level? Han Xiaoli was expecting and worried in his heart.

"Sedek Barre..." Han Sanpin said in a complicated tone, as if he was thinking about something.

"What? What?" Han Xiaoli obviously didn't understand the meaning of this name. It sounded like the name of a European novel.

"Have you seen "Schindler's List" and "Brave Heart"?" Han Sanpin suddenly turned his head and asked him with a wry smile.

"Of course I've seen it."

"The content of this "Sedek Barre" is a bit like the Taiwanese version of "Brave Heart", and in form it is like "Schindler's List". "Han Sanpin said with his eyes narrowed.

Han Xiaoli was stunned for a moment and didn't respond at once. "Schindler's List" and "Brave Heart" are all documentary movies, which are very difficult to shoot, and they have nothing to do with business. This doesn't look like

The style of Li Xiaole, a big commercial director.

"Let's go back and study it..." Han Sanpin looked at the cheerful colleagues around him, and could only smile bitterly and shake his head.

The bright sunlight shone into the study through the floor-to-ceiling glass windows. Li Xiaole squatted in front of a huge sand table, looking at the small models of indigenous tribal buildings on the sand table, looking at the streams and mountains in front of him.

The fictional scene, touching the chin and thinking about the camera.

At this moment, Li was wearing a cloth robe of a Taiwanese indigenous people, with a headscarf on his head, and a totem with a black colored brush on his face. The scimitar at his waist was shining and he squatted on the ground with barefoot.

On the side are several Japanese destroyers from World War II. Each ship has plastic villains on its model. Li Xiaole kept putting various models and plastic people on the ground on the sand table to adjust its position.

.

"Nine scenes are needed...more than 243 buildings are built...the main actors are 78..." Li Xiaole frowned slightly and carefully calculated everything needed for this movie.

As he said that, he lay back on the table, he picked up the pencil and drew it on the A4 paper book and recorded it a few times. The thick drawing was not the storyboard script of "Sedek Barre", but the scene design of the movie

The draft is full of various building sketches and character scenes.

This time is different from any previous movie. The script "Sedek Barre" originally had a historical story background. The cartoonist Qiu Ruolong created the second draft with a comic, and Wei Desheng spent 5 years to perfect it.

The script itself is already very outstanding in all aspects, and Li Xiaole doesn’t need to change it too much.

But... the real problem is that the production of this movie... This movie can be said to be an unprecedented epic masterpiece in Chinese films. The difficulty in making it is far greater than that of any Chinese film in the past... The technical ones are

There are so many difficulties, just thinking about it makes Li Xiaole’s scalp numb.

According to Paramount's five-star rating of the difficulty of film production, most domestic movies cannot be ranked at all. The difficulty of filming of "Let the Bullets Fly" was rated as 2-star difficulty by Paramount experts, and the only one is better than him.

A mainland film in the Mainland is "Hero" selected as Samsung.

However, the difficulty of "Sedek Barre" is rated as a four-star... Paramount's filmmakers' comments on this film are: "There are too many stunts, too many scenes, a large number of actors, and action

Danger, the director expressed the film's essential desire in an almost paranoid way."

Real and cruel, the soul of traditional culture is revealed everywhere, and the style of "Sedek Barre" is all combined. These three are combined. The real and beautiful pictures will make people fascinate, and they will be devoted to it when they are fascinated.

Then the audience will be violently shocked by the cruelty of the war, and the duel between the souls of the two nations in the war will make people tremble; all this is like a chain, one by one, but starting from the beautiful picture, to

The myth of the nation's soul ends. Whether the film is successful or not can be said to start with beautiful pictures.

So how should a beautiful picture be constructed? Just to build the scene, the story belongs to the story. Just telling the plot of the story, you must not leave those scenes from the 1930s. This cannot be avoided. Although it takes a lot of effort and costs a lot.

, but the charm of the movie is here, the shock it gives people is here, and the past is truly presented to the world.

And on this basis, we must also handle it artistically so that everyone can enjoy it from the picture.

After Li Xiaole put out all the props on the sand table, he felt quite shocked. He didn't expect that the film was so difficult that he almost gave up on it a few days ago.

When he saw "Sedek Barre", he did not do in-depth research. He just wanted to improve himself in technology. He had made 4 movies and a TV series before, and more or less

It is a comedy plot that pleases the audience, and this is his first time challenging the drama, and he feels out of control that he cannot grasp the story for the first time.

Suddenly I felt a sense of insignificance as a director, just like the feeling of Spielberg, who was in the 1990s, when he got the Schindler List, the great director suddenly fell into it.

In a sense of powerlessness, Spielberg found two masters, Martin Scorsis and Roman Polanski, hoping that they would help.

Li Xiaole also followed suit and contacted Zhang Yimou, hoping to get some help from this great director about this type of subject, but the answer he got was with Martin Scorsis and Roman Polans to reply to Spielber

Ge's answer is exactly the same, Zhang Yimou told him:

"This subject is too heavy and very sensitive, and is very dangerous for the director. If you go to film, it will be difficult for you to gain the understanding of ordinary audiences. What the audience wants is not a real and cruel story, but a beautiful one.

A simple story…”

Then Li Xiaole called Feng Xiaogang again, and Feng Xiaogang told him: "This kind of movie must wait until the Chinese film market matures and the audience's understanding ability matures. It is more appropriate for you to shoot it. I see that the process is at least still

It takes 10 years.”
