"Hero?" Jiang Qinghou and others didn't know, so they held it for a long time, so they held out such two words?
However, Han Fei wrote much more smoothly next.
"In the late Warring States period, there were numerous wars and all the heroes rose together. Among the seven heroes who flourished for a time, the only one was the hegemony of the state of Qin. In order to dominate the world, the king of Qin launched a crusade war against the other six kingdoms. The ambition of the king of Qin aroused the strong dissatisfaction of the chivalrous men of the various kingdoms and waited for the opportunity to assassinate the king of Qin. The assassin of the state of Zhao, the assassin Changkong, the lover assassin Canjian and Feixue were the most feared by the king of Qin. The king of Qin Order: anyone who can arrest the assassin Changkong can approach the king of Qin by 20 steps; those who kill the sword and flying snow can approach the king of Qin by 10 steps and be granted official status and silk... "
The more you look down, the more passionate Jiang Qinghou and others are. The Qin Dynasty is a bright color in Chinese history. Although it has existed for only 14 years, it has brought an extremely far-reaching impact on Chinese history.
Qin Shihuang swept the six countries internally, achieved the hegemony of one emperor for thousands of years, and expedited Xiongnu and Baiyue abroad, which can be called unparalleled martial arts.
But in Han Fei's script, the king of Qin was so heroic that he was sometimes timid.
"Three years ago, the remnant sword and flying snow joined hands to attack the palace, and three thousand iron armor couldn't stop..." seeing this description, Jiang Qinghou and others only felt the blood surging in their chest and couldn't calm down for a long time.
Chinese man, who hasn't had a martial arts dream? Who hasn't imagined that he will be happy and take revenge in the Jianghu? The great Qin Shihuang, an ancient emperor, was frightened by two assassins. What kind of spirit is that?
"How about this story?" Han Fei stopped writing.
Jiang Qinghou and others saw that later, nameless stabbed out with the handle of a sword, and then died generously. They could not help but sigh in unison. They felt both unexpected and reasonable.
"It's great. I don't have to say. Although the story is simple, it has a profound artistic conception and endless aftertaste." Jiang Qinghou naturally likes the story.
Vinci, they all have the same expression.
Han Fei also had some emotion in his heart. At the beginning, "hero" showed a film of domestic abuse, but he didn't know that it was the only film in the mainland that really conquered the audience in North America.
The box office record of $53 million has never been broken by any mainland film director since then. You know, the release of "hero" was only in 2004.
As for Ang Lee? Sorry, Ang Lee's films are very good, but his thinking has long been westernized. Although his films are dressed in the coat of the East, the core is western, which is why his films are often welcomed by Western audiences.
"Hero" is a film with a completely Oriental core. It is no exaggeration to say that Guoshi is the first director to bring domestic commercial blockbusters into the sight of North American audiences.
In Han Fei's opinion, in fact, the main reason why "hero" stopped at the box office of $53 million in North America lies in the issuer. Miramax company is a typical rogue company, which not only squeezed out its original competitor Columbia company with high price buyout, but also refused to pay the buyout payment.
Later, because there were too many films in hand, the "hero" was refrigerated for two years before it was released in North America. In fact, many North American audiences had already seen DVDs, which also directly affected the North American box office of "hero".
Moreover, in the Oscar campaign unit, the "hero" has also been abandoned. You know, the works that impact the "Oscar" award will cost a lot of "public relations expenses", but the "hero" doesn't have a dime. Naturally, he won't be honored as the best foreign language film of the Oscar.
This once became a nightmare for the national teacher. It hit the Oscar several times, but he found that his "hero" was the one who really had the chance to win the Oscar
Compared with the original "hero", Han Fei has obvious advantages. He has more budget, more visual effects and better distribution channels. He is absolutely confident that this new "hero" will definitely surpass the original and conquer the North American audience with this work with pure Oriental elements.
Now that everyone has agreed on this theme, we need to fill in the whole script. Han Fei only provides the main plot and some lines here, while others need everyone's brainstorming.
When it comes to the "hero" script, I have to mention that many viewers criticized the "hero" at that time. At that time, most viewers thought that the national master had changed the story of "Jing Ke stabbing Qin" beyond recognition. There was also a problem with the story structure of his "hero". For an hour and a half, it all happened in the dialogue between nameless and the king of Qin.
Therefore, the national teachers had to fill in the story by means of "Narration" and "flashback", which directly led to a part of the audience who didn't understand it at all. They didn't find themselves missing a good film until they read it many years later.
At the beginning, the score of "hero" was only 6.4, but it rose to 7.4 more than ten years later. It can be imagined what kind of power can make the audience feel so different about "hero" in more than ten years.
Perhaps some of the works themselves have surpassed the times, just as the "journey to the west" was also a curse when it was released, but it has achieved the glory of Xingye. After that, the box office of the "journey to the west to subdue demons" is so high that it is difficult to say that there is no feeling of "owe a movie ticket to the journey to the west".
Fortunately, the audience's appreciation level has made great progress compared with more than ten years ago, which is why Han Fei feels that now is the golden age of Chinese films.
He has always believed that the rise of Chinese films is definitely not because of the bullshit market prosperity, but because the audience is constantly improving. They are forcing the progress of Chinese films, and they are pushing Chinese films forward step by step out of their own pocket.
After a month and a half of polishing, the first version of the script was released. After it was submitted for review at the first time, people discussed the choice of actors in the conference room.
"I think it's better for old Han to play the role of nameless." Jiang Qinghou said.
Everyone also looked at Han Fei.
In fact, Han Fei was also considering this matter. In fact, at the beginning, the National Division also took into account the North American market when selecting roles. At that time, among the Chinese male stars, success and Jet Li were naturally the most popular, and the box office appeal was self-evident. Finally, the National Division chose Jet Li in consideration of image temperament.
Han Fei doesn't have Jet Li to use. Now it seems that among North American audiences, his popularity is no lower than that of ordinary second and third tier Hollywood stars. Although most of them criticize him, anyway, it's better to remember his face than to choose a stranger to play.
"OK, then I'll come." Han Fei bit his teeth.
In fact, he really didn't want to take the play. He played too many plays. Kung Fu stars like Jet Li made a lot of mistakes when shooting "Heroes", not to mention laymen like him.
"Who will play the king of Qin?" Jiang Qinghou asked another question.
