Since 1983

In the small conference room, Wu Baige talked eloquently.

"I have been brewing the film "Red Cliff" since last year, and the main investor is Columbia, they want to make a version that can be accepted by both Eastern and Western audiences.

Americans are not familiar with our culture, so it is quite difficult to simplify the complex. In the end, the investment did not come in, and the script was abandoned.

But the funds from Japan, South Korea, Hong Kong and Taiwan are very eager, and friends from mainland China also support it. I also met with the leaders of the Film Bureau, which gave me a lot of confidence.

To be honest, I am not familiar with mainland China, Mr. Zou..."

He looked at Zou Jingzhi and said with a smile, "You are one of the best screenwriters, so I'm counting on you. In addition, I'm being honest and honest. I found a screenwriter from Hong Kong and Taiwan.

That is to say, you write three versions separately. Remuneration is not a problem, but I don't necessarily use it, or maybe use part of it..."

"Understand understand."

Zou Jingzhi nodded and asked, "What is your tone? According to "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" or "Three Kingdoms"?"

"..."

Wu Baige pondered for a moment, and said: "I want to show the shocking power of a real war, and subvert people's traditional concepts without violating history. For example, Liu Bei is no longer cowardly, Cao Cao is no longer treacherous, and Zhou Yu is no longer stingy... ..."

Um?

Zou Jingzhi scratched his head, is this a traditional concept?

"Find a point of convergence between history and romance," Han Sanping said.

"That's right, that's it."

"Does the actor think about it?"

"To be honest, Zhou Runfa is my first choice. With his acting style, strength and overseas influence, he can play Zhou Yu..."

Wu Baige paused, and said: "And Japan has always been keen on the culture of the Three Kingdoms. They hope that Cao Cao will be played by a Japanese actor, and they recommended Ken Watanabe."

Dongying likes the Three Kingdoms, especially Cao Aman.

Back then when CCTV filmed "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", Japan came to invest in it, and the condition was that a Japanese actor would play Cao Cao, but Ren Dahui refused.

Hearing it now, Han Sanping was also a little awkward, but he had just negotiated now, so he didn't express any opinions.

"Red Cliff" dragged on for a long time. From 2004 to 2008, Wu Baige did not give up his job in Hollywood and was always looking for opportunities to turn around.

After confirming that I was cold, I concentrated on "Red Cliff".

The current investors, Japan, South Korea, and Hong Kong have already been confirmed, and the Taiwan one has not yet been negotiated. After the negotiation is completed, Xiao Qiao will start to add drama.

Mainland China Film Group will definitely vote, and later Orange Sky and Poly Huayi will join, with a total budget of more than 60 million US dollars.

Wu Baige met briefly, Han Sanping supported, and Zou Jingzhi began to write the script. In fact, what he wrote was not well received, and he asked Lu Wei to write it later.

Lu Wei was not satisfied with what he wrote, so Director Wu and his wife wrote it themselves.

Oops, so cute!

After this meeting, the entertainment circle couldn't hide the news, and the media soon exposed:

"Wu Yusen conspired in Beijing for "Red Cliff", Zhou Runfa may play Zhou Yu!"

"Wu Yu Sen didn't know Bae Yong Joon, and denied asking him to star in "Battle of the Red Cliff"!"

""Battle of the Red Cliff" has not yet signed a contract with the actors, Gu Changwei is not sure about the role!"

""Red Cliff" starts next year, and Zhang Jingchu is expected to play Xiao Qiao!"

...

brush!

Xu Fei put down the newspaper and looked at the girl in front of him: "Why didn't I know you were playing Xiao Qiao?"

"Director Wu watched "Peacock" and had a brief chat with me. It's just a preliminary contact, and nothing has been decided yet."

The 25-year-old Zhang Jingchu is generous and unrestrained.

She played the role of Abi in "Dragon Babu" and was able to sign a contract. After that, she made a tepid TV series. This year "Peacock" became a blockbuster, and finally realized the taste of being popular.

In the past few years, she has been in the limelight, chasing Zhang Ziyi, and then disappearing suddenly. Some said they offended the "director's wives" and were banned, and some said they broke up with the backstage.

After the comeback, the resources are actually okay, but it's just bad luck.

Filming "The Three-Body Problem" to play Ye Wenjie, deserved to be the number one female, but the movie was cold.

The filming of "A Desperate Love" turned out to be cold, because the hero is Huang Haibo.

Zhang Jingchu was born in the 1980s. She was supposed to be a representative of actresses born in the 1980s. Unfortunately, if you miss the opportunity, you will miss it. Now she is 40 years old...

"What do you think of this play?"

"Let's read the script. If the script hasn't come out, I'm sure I won't promise anything."

"What if the script is bad?"

"Then, then I will listen to you!"

Zhang Jingchu sold a little cleverness, Xu Fei smiled and said: "You are good at acting, let's develop into movies in the future, don't be proud, keep working hard."

"Thank you Mr. Xu!"

Zhang Jingchu left, and not long after, another guest came.

It was Zou Jingzhi.

By the way, this is the screenwriter of Xu Fei's first work "Happy Marriage", the original version of "Love Book".

"Come, come, the number one screenwriter in China."

"Don't bury me, I'm all thanks to the country's interests."

"You complement each other."

Zou Jingzhi wrote four Kangxi novels and four Ji Xiaolan novels. When he was the most popular, Zhang Guoli was also the most popular.

Xu Fei made tea for him, and said with a smile: "Today, I invite you to satisfy your curiosity. "Red Cliff" has been buzzing recently. I heard that you have accepted the script?"

"Well, I'm writing."

Zou Jingzhi didn't hide anything, and said: "He also found a Taiwan writer who said he was the screenwriter of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon". There is also a Hong Kong writer who is not very familiar with him.

I am one of them. "

"What do you think of this project?"

"Uh, hehe..."

Zou Jingzhi didn't want to hurt others, and said euphemistically: "I have also watched director Wu's movie, and then chatting with him, I feel that the cultural background is almost there.

For example, when I mentioned "Three Kingdoms", he seemed to have never heard of it, and it was very vague.

Anyway, I have reservations, because I am afraid that he will not be as good at controlling historical figures as he is at controlling gangsters. "

"ha!"

Xu Fei was happy.

When Wu Baige fired Zou Jingzhi and found Lu Wei.

Lu Wei said that he originally thought he had reached a consensus with the director to reflect historical and cultural values, like "Lawrence of Arabia" and "General Patton".

Wu Baige agreed at the time.

But after writing, the white dove is no longer a white dove.

Oops, Xiao Qiao is good, Lin Chiling is good, you should write more about Xiao Qiao!

We want to embody peace, peace is a very great theme!

He...tui!

The last script was compiled from mess. And Lu Wei revealed that Wu Baige's wife was also involved.

"Mengmeng, stand up!"

It is said that this was written by his wife.

The line of "Red Cliff" is a model for a generation. Director Wu himself said: "In fact, there are difficulties, in order to let foreign audiences understand."

So Zhang Fengyi had to abandon Cao Cao's lines written by Lu Wei, and say something like "desire makes people young."

Guan Yu yelled: "You are out of date!"

Sun Shangxiang: "The rise and fall of the world, women are responsible!"

Nima, the Chinese can't understand it either! What do you mean every woman is responsible?

The plot is also bloody, Cao Cao's 800,000 troops are overwhelming, life and death! At the stall of Zhou Yu's military training, he picks up his son and goes home to deliver the horse...

In short, Xu Fei had a lot of fun listening to Zou Jingzhi's complaints.

Zou Jingzhi is baffled, what do you mean?

"Mr. Xu, you pay so much attention to "Red Cliff" because you want to..."

"Hey, I don't want to shoot!"

Xu Fei smashed his mouth, and thought: In fact, it's okay to shoot one, and fight against Wu Baige? It's not strong enough, the main reason is that I'm not happy watching this drama!

Very upset!

(besides……)
