Chapter 952： very troublesome

Head to head Hollywood 952 Author Qian Duxue Full text 2267 words

Tang En wanted Ann Lee to direct "Mulan" after many considerations. First of all, it is necessary to know enough about Chinese culture. Secondly, because a large number of Chinese actors need to be used in the film and communicate with Chinese staff, understanding Chinese is also an important factor. In addition, after all, this is a commercial blockbuster with huge investment and dominated by Hollywood, and the director must be proficient enough to master the industrial process of Hollywood. Those who can do the above three points are probably Ann Lee and John Wu. John Wu's set is not suitable for a delicate movie like "Mulan" where the protagonist is a woman, so the remaining candidate can only be Ann Lee. In fact, when Ann Lee heard about the "Mulan" project, he refused at one point and didn't want to make the movie. Because the possibility of failure is great! Artwork is just that, once a commercial film goes wrong...it will affect his film career. His last commercial blockbuster "The Chronicles of Narnia 2" ended in failure, and he was once disheartened and had the idea of ​​retirement. If Dunn didn't help him again and gave him a chance to film "Brokeback Mountain", he really could only leave Hollywood in a daze. However, Tang En's face was big enough, and after several persuasion, Ann Li agreed. Unexpectedly, Tang En got Ann Lee, but the Chinese side had different opinions. "Brother Xie, Director Ann Lee...is the most suitable director for "Mulan"! Since it is a co-production between China and the United States, it is best for the director to be proficient in Chinese and American cultures at the same time. I don't know if such a person, except Ann Lee, is still Who?" Dunn frowned. Leader Xie sighed and said sincerely: "Brother, I understand everything you said, and I understand the truth. But... But you have to consider our difficulties." "Difficulties?" Tang En was puzzled. untie. Leader Xie said: "If it's the second or third co-production film, that's fine, but "Mulan" is the first Sino-US co-production blockbuster in the true sense, and we hope to create a benchmark..." "Xie Brother, you have already said this, it has something to do with the selection of the director?" "Of course! Since it is a benchmark, all factors must be taken into account, especially political factors! I am not afraid of your jokes, the current situation on both sides of the Taiwan Strait is somewhat Complicated, Ann Lee's nationality... We want to make a movie from the People's Republic of China, the director of the movie, we would rather use Americans than people over there, do you understand what I mean?" Tang Well understood. I was speechless. Is this force majeure? Very **** up! However, Dunn has lived in this environment for decades and can understand what the leaders mean. In the past few years, Baodao has danced very powerfully and arrogantly, and the overall situation cannot be affected by a movie. "In that case, let's change people." Tang En sighed and didn't insist. Leader Xie said with relief: "Brother, thank you for your understanding, you really helped us a lot! Otherwise, this matter would be very complicated to deal with." Tang En shook his head, feeling a little bit in his heart boring. He could think that the film "Mulan" would not be a great success, but he was still full of fighting spirit and planned to push it forward with all his strength and come up with the highest hardware and software facilities, which could be regarded as a contribution to the development of Chinese films. help. Unexpectedly, full of blood, I encountered a basin of cold water. It is no wonder that Blizzard vigorously promoted the production of the "Warcraft" movie in the previous life, and made great ambitions, but later withdrew from the project due to the continuous participation and intervention of Chinese capital. As a result, "Warcraft" was made nondescript. "What do you mean, who should be the director?" "Laomouzi!" "Huh?" Tang En was stunned for a moment, and said in surprise, "Isn't he preparing his own movie? Adapted from the play "Thunderstorm", I know Leader Xie said with a smile: "So what, always obey the overall situation. His movie can be shot anytime, and "Mulan" is more important." Tang En pondered for a while, and said embarrassingly: "Brother Xie, To tell the truth, Laomouzi is a symbol of Chinese cinema, and he can make a name for himself in China. But if he wants to make a Hollywood blockbuster, I am afraid it is not enough. Not to mention lack of ability, it is because of lack of experience and thinking mode. He still does not understand English. , it is very inconvenient to communicate." Leader Xie said casually: "Then continue to change people, hehe. I said, except for An Li, even if you send an American director over, it will be fine. Of course, it is best to Our own directors in China." Chinese directors? Dunn thought for a while, it was very unrealistic. Director Feng? He can also make comedy films without film skills and philosophical depth. Such a wild director lacks sufficient theoretical knowledge. Movies with profound reality like "Tangshan Earthquake" and "1942" should be the right tools to win awards, sweeping various international awards. As a result, it was in his hands, and it turned into a complete "feature film All the shots are storytelling, and there is almost no pursuit of film language, and there is no artistry. "Mulan" is not pure The popcorn movie is mainly based on Disney's cartoon "Mulan". It can be seen from the cartoon that the warm scenes, charming colors and touching plots need to be carefully created. Director Chen? This is even more impossible. Now, he should still be busy making "The Promise". Even if there are administrative interventions, it won't work. He is a well-known director who was valued by Hollywood in his early years and made an action thriller "Tenderly" for MGM "Kill Me", the film is fully Europeanized and lacks Hollywood style. It has been banned for 18 years. It was not released in the United States, and was directly released in the form of video tapes and DVDs. "Europe and the United States" are not a whole, American films and European films, There is a huge difference. The main market for director Chen's film style should be Europe. As for those filmmakers in the Hong Kong government, Tsui Hark, Zhou Xingchi, Yuan Heping and others have all suffered serious failures. Who should be the director? Dunn has a headache. "Okay, the director's choice... I'll think about it later. Go ahead, what else do you need to pay attention to? "The rest is the script review. This... Our review system is rather special. On the surface, it is dominated by the General Administration. In fact, many relevant departments are also exercising the review power. If the police are involved, the Ministry of Public Security will be called for trial; if the People’s Liberation Army is involved, the General Administration will be called for trial; if overseas, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs will be called for trial… Of course, “Mulan” is a historical drama and will not involve To these, but it will involve minors, which requires review by the Ministry of Education. Tang En rubbed his temples: "Okay, I'll let them finish the script as soon as possible and fax it to you." "It's really troublesome!.
