"Made, "No Man's Land" didn't pass the review???" Ning Hao's face looked ugly.
It was a movie that he worked so hard to shoot. Even to shoot this movie, he and the cast of the crew had to film in such a poor environment for several months, without the same basic necessities of life as food, clothing, housing and transportation.
It can be said that Ning Hao and the others really worked hard for this movie.
What Ning Hao didn't expect was that "No Man's Land" failed to pass the review!
"Director Ning, what are you talking about? "No Man's Land"? Didn't pass the review? How is this possible? Director Ning, are you kidding?" Zhang Yi looked confused, and then couldn't help but ask.
Zhang Yi's mood at this time is really indescribable.
"No Man's Land" is the first movie Zhang Yi made after joining Yuxuan Zhang Studio, and it is also the first movie he has participated in in his life, and he is also the protagonist. He also hopes to be able to appear on the big screen this year
Seeing myself. Now Ning Hao told him that the first movie he shot, "No Man's Land", failed to pass the review!!!
Zhang Yuxuan's expression was a little subtle when he heard the news from Ning Hao.
Before the time travel, Ning Hao's "No Man's Land" failed to pass the review, so that it took three years after the film was shot before it had the chance to be released. Now, with the intervention of him as a time traveler, Ning Hao's "No Man's Land"
District", but still failed to pass the trial.
In fact, regarding "No Man's Land", Zhang Yuxuan knew that the movie was stuck when it was released and was released three years later. However, Zhang Yuxuan did not know the specific situation.
So what exactly is going on, Zhang Yuxuan is also a little confused.
"Is it because of the plot? Is it because the characters in "No Man's Land" are not good people?" asked Yuxuan Zhang.
"Who says there are no good people in "No Man's Land"? The policeman played by Wu Jing is a good person. I paid attention because I was afraid that the movie would not pass the review, so I set the policeman as a good person and a good policeman." Ning Hao explained.
road.
"No matter what you say, "No Man's Land" has not passed the review! What did the radio and television say? How do you want you to change it?" asked Yuxuan Zhang.
"It would be great if it could be changed." Ning Hao said with a depressed look. In other words, this is what Ning Hao really feels depressed about: ""No Man's Land" cannot be changed, and it is useless to change it, unless it is completely scrapped and remade.
, all the characters in it were replaced by good people, otherwise, this movie would never have passed the review."
Hearing what Ning Hao said, Zhang Yuxuan knew that "No Man's Land" really couldn't pass the review.
"Director Ning, what is going on? Why is this happening? What should I do with the movie?" Zhang Yi couldn't help but ask again and again.
"What else can we do? We are unlucky. Not long ago, there was a major accident where we were filming the movie. So the radio and television think that our movie is not suitable for broadcast now." Ning Hao looked depressed.
"A major accident occurred at the filming location?" Zhang Yi looked confused. He didn't pay much attention to this kind of thing, so he wasn't very familiar with the situation.
"That's it..." Ning Hao explained the matter.
After listening to Ning Hao's words, Zhang Yuxuan and Zhang Yi were speechless. When it comes to independence, everything must give way.
In this case, no, there is no way for "No Man's Land" to be released, at least not in a short period of time.
Unless the movie "No Man's Land" is released before July, it will not be allowed at all after July.
"Then, our movie is over?" Zhang Yi was still very unwilling. He felt that this was too unlucky for him. It was his first movie. And he was the leading actor in a movie. Now he is like this
Gone.
"It's not over yet, we just have to wait, wait until this incident is over, wait until things completely subside, then our movie can be re-released," Ning Hao explained.
"Then, when will we wait?"
"If nothing unexpected happens in the next three or four years at most, everyone will almost forget about this incident, and the movie will be released by then." Ning Hao explained.
"..." Zhang Yi didn't know whether he should be happy or unhappy at this time.
Let’s say I’m happy that my first movie can’t be released at the moment. But I’m not happy that it will still be released in at least another three or four years, and it won’t be buried directly.
But the movie he is making now will not be released until three or four years. You can imagine how Zhang Yi feels.
"Alas!" Zhang Yi couldn't help but sigh heavily.
"It's okay, Zhang Yi. We will have a movie "Great Wish" later, in which you are also the protagonist. The movie will be released by the end of the year at most. Don't worry." Zhang Yuxuan knew Zhang Yi's mood and comforted him.
"Thank you, boss." Zhang Yi twitched his lips.
"Forget it, let's not mention this. By the way, where is Wu Jing, the other artist in your studio? Why didn't you see him?" Ning Hao changed the subject.
"Wu Jing, he went to the army." Zhang Yuxuan said.
"Ah? He went to the army? Why did he go to the army?" Ning Hao originally just changed the subject, but now he heard what Zhang Yuxuan said, and he became a little curious.
"I made a script for Wu Jing before. Wu Jing felt that if he wanted to film the script well, he had to go to the army to train for a period of time to experience what it was like to be a soldier, so he went to the army to train." explained Zhang Yuxuan.
.
"What script? Wu Jing was asked to go to the army for training?" Ning Hao asked curiously.
"In "Wolf Warrior", he wrote a script about special forces. In order to play the role of special forces well, he went to the army, and he went to a place where he was a special forces unit."
"Good guy, special forces? Can Wu Jing stand him?"
"You should be able to bear it. After all, he has been practicing martial arts since he was a child. His foundation is much stronger than that of ordinary people."
"Tsk tsk tsk, Wu Jing is not bad. At least his attitude is really good. Special Forces, tsk tsk tsk. Let me see the script, "Wolf Warrior", right?" Ning Hao responded to this requirement that actors have to go to the special operations team to train.
The script is quite curious.
When he heard that Ning Hao wanted to read the script, Zhang Yuxuan took it out without hiding it.
After all, on the one hand, the script has been registered long ago and there is no fear of leakage. On the other hand, Zhang Yuxuan also believes in Ning Hao's character.
Ning Hao read the script, and Zhang Yi also looked curious, tilting his head to read the script. As he watched, Zhang Yi's face almost touched Ning Hao's.
"Hey, keep a distance, keep a distance, two grown men, don't get so close. If others see it, they will think that we two have nothing." Ning Hao read a page of the script and turned the page, suddenly,
When he noticed that Zhang Yi's face was almost touching his own, he was startled and quickly pushed Zhang Yi's face away.
"Well, I'm not reading a script right now."
"You won't wait to read the script? I've finished reading this page. You read this first."
"OK."
After the two people discussed the script and read it, Ning Hao went over the settings of the script, the shooting scenes and other things in his mind, and then shook his head: "It's not the type I'm good at. It seems like I can't do this film."
The director of the play."
"I don't plan to let you be the director of this drama. I plan to let Wu Jing direct and act in it," said Zhang Yuxuan.
"Huh? You let Wu Jing direct and act? Are you crazy? Or do you think you have too much money to burn?" Ning Hao couldn't help but say.
"You can't say that. Wu Jing still has the talent to be a director."
"Talented? I've seen "Spike" that he made as a director before, and it's just like that, talent. I really didn't notice it." Ning Hao curled his lips.
"Everyone has to have his first time, and it's not like he won't improve in the future. After Wu Jing finished filming "Spike", he also learned a lot about being a director. He even went to the school's directing department to audit
, his strength has improved a lot, and we are looking for two powerful assistant directors for him, so it will be no problem for him to be a director and make movies." Zhang Yuxuan said this.
"Okay, you can just say it. Anyway, the script is yours and the investment is also yours. You spend your own money. If you are willing to let Wu Jing be the director, just do it." Ning Hao shook his head, still not optimistic about Wu Jing as the director.
kind of thing.
Zhang Yi on the side, listening to the conversation between Zhang Yuxuan and Ning Hao, a trace of envy flashed in his little eyes.
Zhang Yi was really envious. He didn't expect that his boss Zhang Yuxuan would be willing to support Wu Jing as a director and direct and star in ordinary movies.
Especially looking at the script of "Wolf Warrior", it is both an airplane and a tank. The production cost will definitely not be low. The quality of the script is also pretty good. Yuxuan Zhang is actually willing to spend such a level of cost to support Wu Jing. Such a boss
, it is definitely rare, it can even be said to be rare.
Of course, Zhang Yi's envy is just envy, because he never thought about becoming a director. He just wanted to make movies and be an actor and film himself. He didn't want to be distracted by becoming a director.
I have never thought about becoming a director, but Zhang Yi still thinks the script of "Wolf Warrior" is quite good.
"Um, boss, can I act in the movie "Wolf Warrior"?" Zhang Yi asked with a smile.
"You want to act?"
"I don't think the script of "Wolf Warrior" sounds good."
"Okay, you can act if you want. Anyway, you have been in the army before, so you are more suitable than other actors in the entertainment industry." Zhang Yuxuan immediately agreed.
"Thank you, thank you boss, thank you boss."
…
"Director Li, long time no see." Zhang Yuxuan greeted Director Li Huizhu with a smile.
"It's been a long time indeed. I think you just entered the entertainment industry. In the blink of an eye, in a few years, you have become the top movie star in the country. Your growth rate is really rare. No,
I should say that you are the only one." Li Huizhu chuckled, and her tone was inevitably mixed with some compliments. Even if this was not Li Huizhu's intention, in the entertainment industry, Zhang Yuxuan has developed better than her.
, she would do this subconsciously.
Li Huizhu is the director of the fourth TV series that Yuxuan participated in after his debut.
Back then, Leslie Cheung could be considered a fledgling, having just made a name for himself in the entertainment industry.
Then when Li Huizhu directed "A Chinese Ghost Story", she began to add roles to Yuxuan Zhang. Originally, he was just a supporting role for the fifth, sixth and seventh male lead, but was abruptly added to the second male lead role. Even in terms of character, he completely surpassed him.
The male is Ning Caichen.
Although a large part of the reason why Li Huizhu added scenes to Zhang Yuxuan was to ride on Zhang Yuxuan's popularity, it is undeniable that Li Huizhu's additional scenes also turned Zhang Yuxuan's Demon Lord Qiye into a classic character.
Especially when adding scenes, many scenes and settings were added according to Zhang Yuxuan's ideas.
So speaking of it, Yuxuan Zhang can be regarded as owing a favor to director Li Huizhu.
So director Li Huizhu came to see Zhang Yuxuan, and because of this favor, Zhang Yuxuan agreed to meet with director Li Huizhu.
Director Yuxuan Zhang and Director Li Huizhu had a casual chat, talking about their experiences over the years, their respective achievements and so on.
However, when Li Huizhu was chatting, there was still some praise for Zhang Yuxuan in her words.
"Director Li is looking for me this time?"
After chatting for a while, Zhang Yuxuan asked with a smile.
"Actually, this time I came to see you, Yuxuan, mainly because I wanted to recommend myself. I wanted to ask Yuxuan if your studio would like to hire a director." Li Huizhu said with a smile.
"Director Li, do you want to join my studio?" Zhang Yuxuan looked at Li Huizhu in surprise.
Not many people may know the name Li Huizhu. But Li Huizhu is indeed an excellent director, and many people know the works she has directed.
The director of the TV series "A Chinese Ghost Story" filmed by Yuxuan Zhang before was Li Huizhu.
There are also "Detective Fang Mao", "I Have a Date with a Zombie Part 3", "Xinchu Liuxiang", "Snowflake Excalibur" and so on.
Even future TV series such as "Legend of Lu Zhen" and "Gong Lock Heart Jade" were also her works.
It can be said that Li Huizhu is really a very good TV drama director.
It’s just that Zhang Yuxuan didn’t expect that she would actually want to join his studio now.
"Yes, I left Yashi last year. After taking a break, it was like finding a new job. And now, the development in the mainland is much better than that in Xiangjiang. At least for those of us in the entertainment industry, the development in the mainland is much better than that in Xiangjiang.
The environment is so great. So I wanted to find a job in the mainland. It just so happened that Yuxuan you established your own personal studio, so I wanted to ask if your studio wants to hire a director." Li Huizhu smiled.
explain.
"We're hiring, of course we're recruiting directors. It's just that we don't have a director as good as Director Li joining us. Director Li is willing to join my studio, so of course I welcome him with both hands." Zhang Yuxuan warmly welcomed Li Huizhu to join.
Li Huizhu was also very happy after hearing what Zhang Yuxuan said.
The reason why Li Huizhu chose to join Zhang Yuxuan's personal studio was actually because Zhang Yuxuan's studio had just been established and no director had joined yet, so she thought of joining so that she could get better resources.
Moreover, although Li Huizhu is a TV director, she also wants to make a career in the film industry.
In fact, as early as the 1990s, Li Huizhu tried to break into the film industry.
It's just that as a female director, she didn't have much support. It was not that easy to break into the film industry, and she ultimately failed.
As for Yuxuan Zhang, he is very successful in TV series and even more successful in movies.
Moreover, Leslie Cheung will also write his own scripts.
Just like Ning Hao, although Ning Hao himself has real talent and learning, Ning Hao's success is absolutely inseparable from the support of Yuxuan Zhang's script.
Therefore, the reason why Li Huizhu joined Yuxuan Zhang Studio was because she wanted Zhang Yuxuan to write a movie script for her.
If Leslie Cheung can write a few excellent scripts for her, maybe she can become an excellent film director.
Yuxuan Studio needed a director, and Li Huizhu also wanted to join. So the two parties hit it off, and Li Huizhu signed a contract, becoming the first director to join the studio.
However, after Li Huizhu joined, Zhang Yuxuan had to consider what resources to give Li Huizhu.
Let Lee Hye Joo make a movie?
Zhang Yuxuan will indeed consider this. But what Li Huizhu is better at is filming TV series.
Some directors who can produce excellent TV series may not be able to produce movies well if they are asked to do so.
Just like Zhao Baogang, his earliest TV series "Desire" was really a sensation, and later there were "Stories in the Editorial Department", "Death with Eyes to Die", "Like Fog Like Rain and Like Wind" and "Struggle" etc. It can be said that he
The TV series filmed are absolutely excellent.
However, Zhao Baogang, an excellent TV drama director, was not successful in making movies, and finally went back to filming TV dramas.
Therefore, Leslie Cheung is not sure whether Li Huizhu can make a good movie.
So what Zhang Yuxuan wants Li Huizhu to film is a TV series.
But when it comes to filming TV series - to be honest, before 2010, Zhang Yuxuan still watched TV series, but after that, he didn't watch TV series very much.
The main reason is that as time goes by, the three views of the TV series become more and more distorted, so distorted that it is impossible to watch them.
And TV series such as "Nirvana in Fire" and "The Son-in-Law" seem to be adapted from novels. So Zhang Yuxuan couldn't help but think of the copyright of some novels.
At this stage, novels are adapted into TV series. Except for a few masters of martial arts novels in Hong Kong, there are still very few examples of other types of novels being adapted into TV series.
So, why not buy the copyrights of some novels and hoard a batch of IPs?
Something like "Nirvana in Fire" or "Zhu Xin", or something like "Zhu Xian" or "Ma Breaks the Sky".
Well, there are also two films, "Tomb Raiders Notes" and "Ghost Blowing the Lamp", the copyrights of these two films are even more popular.
Zhang Yuxuan was moved, so he began to arrange for people to buy the film and television adaptation rights of these novels.
Speaking of which, the price to buy the copyright of novels at this time is really not expensive. It should even be said to be quite cheap. The copyright can be purchased for tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands.
If you think about future generations, the copyrights of excellent novels will cost millions or tens of millions or even more. Don’t even think about it.
"Why do you suddenly want to buy the film and television rights of online novels?" Li He couldn't help but ask when he knew that Zhang Yuxuan wanted to buy the copyright of online novels.
"Of course it's a TV series or a movie."
"Is it appropriate? It's just an online novel, so it doesn't feel very appropriate, right?"
"It's suitable, why isn't it suitable? After you read the novels I mentioned, you will know whether it is suitable or not."
