Chapter 709 Shaoan Bankrupt

They also brought good news to Shen Long. Director Wu Tianming took a fancy to "Old Well" and wanted to adapt this novel into a movie. Hearing that they are going to come to Shaanxi, let them ask Shen Long first. Long meaning.

"This is a good thing. I still trust Director Wu's ability." Shen Long agreed with all his heart. This was originally Wu Tianming's movie. Change the script!"

"Hey, that would be the best." Seeing Shen Long's promise, Chen Kaige was relieved, "However, Director Wu is currently co-directing "Kindang" with director Teng Wenji, and after that, he will film "River Without Navigation Mark". If there is no time to film "Old Well", it will take two or three years at the earliest."

"It doesn't matter. If you want to make a good movie, you can't rush it." Shen Long doesn't care much, he is no longer excited about the script fee of more than 1,000 yuan, and "Old Well" was originally made in 1987. For works, even if they start shooting two or three years later, it will be much earlier than the original history.

"Then let's go to Huangyuan to survey the scenery first? Shaoping, do you have time?" Chen Kaige asked. The three of them are now familiar with each other, and they all call each other by first name.

"Well, no problem, writing, you can go there." Shen Long agreed, and he hasn't been home for a long time. He just took this opportunity to go home and have a look, and he didn't know what happened to Shao'an's brick factory. .

"Has Shaoping made any new works recently?" Chen Kaige asked, and Zhang Yimou also showed an expectant expression. It is not easy to find a good story now, and it is even more difficult to meet a good story that suits him. Thanks to the two of them and Shen Long has a good relationship and can see unpublished works in advance.

"Recently, I am planning to write a novel, and it will probably take a few years." Shen Long handed the two of them the manuscript of "The Loess is High", "I am afraid that this story is not easy to adapt into a movie, and the length is a bit long; but this In the next few years, I will write some short stories one after another, if there is something suitable for you two, I will show it to you two first."

"Oh, by the way, here are a few more short science fiction stories, you two can read them." Shen Long handed "Country Teacher", "Chinese Sun" and "Happy Hunting" to them, and suddenly there was a surge in his heart Impulsive, I don't know what it would be like for these two to make a sci-fi film? Must be interesting, right?

"Science fiction? Shaoping why do you want to write this?" Chen Kaige looked disgusted. Affected by the times, he doesn't like this stuff now. Although Zhang Yimou didn't speak, the expression also meant it.

Tsk, I am a little unconvinced, Shen Long thought for a while and said, "Have you two watched "Star Wars"?" It is obviously impossible for "Star Wars" to be screened in China now, but both of them are For Nortel, the Nortel student union often reads some foreign classics, maybe the two of them have actually read them.

"I've seen it. The structure of the story is quite similar to Akira Kurosawa's "Heroes of the Warring States Period." Zhang Yimou replied sullenly. The answer was somewhat beyond Shen Long's expectations, but it made sense after careful consideration. From the director's point of view , Zhang Yimou must pay more attention to the deep-seated things such as story structure and camera use, and Akira Kurosawa is his and Lucas' idol.

"That's not what I want to talk about. I don't know where I read the information last time. It is said that several big directors in Xiangjiang were shocked after watching "Star Wars", saying that they have the confidence to make films like "The Godfather". Movies, but "Star Wars" can't be made at all." Shen Long didn't get entangled with Akira Kurosawa.

"Star Wars can be compared with The Godfather. From an artistic point of view, the two works are not at the same level." Chen Kaige retorted.

"But tell me,

If you were to direct, was it harder to make "The Godfather" or "Star Wars"? "Shen Long asked back.

"Um..." Chen Kaige stopped talking. These two works are beyond his current ability, but if he thinks about it seriously, it is obvious that "Star Wars" is more difficult. This has nothing to do with art, but more technical problems.

"We can't shoot "Star Wars" at all, the technology used in it is too advanced." Zhang Yimou was honest, he said the truth, and expressed the same emotion as Director Xiangjiang.

"Due to the influence of TV, the box office growth of American movies has been slow. It was not until the appearance of "Star Wars" that the audience was brought back to the movie theater again; I think the same situation will happen in China in the future." What a miserable movie.

"So, at this time, movies with great visual impact and special effects can get a higher box office." From "Star Wars" to Marvel movies, this is the case. Even in China, it is Zhang Yimou's "Hero" that re-engages the audience. Pull back to the cinema.

"There is no difference between watching a simple feature film on TV and in a movie theater, and sometimes it is even better to watch it on TV at home." This is the case with "The Shawshank Redemption". I have to fill my mouth with food. Thinking about it carefully, it is indeed more appropriate to enjoy such a movie quietly at home.

"And if you want to shoot blockbuster special effects, then science fiction, mythology and other fantasy works are obviously more suitable, so I tried to create some science fiction novels. I hope we can also make visual blockbusters like "Star Wars" in the future." Said After a long time, Shen Long got back to the topic.

Directors of the generation Chen Kaige and Zhang Yimou pay too much attention to art films. Except for the two of them, not many will be able to achieve success at the box office in the future. This is not a good thing for domestic films.

The two of them are still young now, and haven't yet developed the invincible temperament in the future. Hearing Shen Long speak so seriously, even though they conflict with their own inherent ideas, they still pick up these science fiction novels and read them.

"Hey, this work is interesting." Chen Kaige didn't like "Country Teacher" and "Chinese Sun" very much, but "Happy Hunting" made him want to stop.

Are you also interested in these strange stories? Shen Long thought of the failed "Legend of the Demon Cat" in the future, and wondered what it would be like for Chen Kaige to film "Happy Hunting".

"If this movie is going to be made, it can't be done now, at least it will have to wait until 20 or 30 years later." Shen Long said regretfully, it seems that he won't be able to see it in a short time.

Slightly changing the minds of the two great directors, Shen Long returned to Huangyuan with them the next day, and went to Yuanxi County to scout the scene and make preparations for the filming.

As soon as he returned to Yuanxi County, Shen Long heard a very bad news. Shao'an's brick and tile factory collapsed, and Shao'an is now on the verge of bankruptcy.
