Chapter 180 East and West Poison and Journey to the West
When "East and West" was released on the screen, Wanbang Film and Television did not idle, but opened "East Evil West Poison" produced by the same class. As for "Hero's Color", the start date was postponed.
The main reason is that Zhang Duo participated in both plays, and the director was also him. Because there is no director Wang in this world who likes to wear sunglasses, and there is no director Wu who is famous for his "violent aesthetics". So no matter who he gives the right to direct, he is not sure. For the company, the sooner it puts "East Evil West Poison" on the screen, the smaller the loss in the future. Therefore, although Jin Yutang is unwilling to do so, he can only face this fact.
Redstone Gorge in northern Shaanxi, the crew of "East Evil West Poison" has been filming here for two weeks, and every actor is suffering. They have tried their best to be funny in the crew of "East and West", but here, they have desperately dressed up deep. If you can still understand the plot of East and West, then many actors are also confused about what the film East and West Poison is talking about. They just shoot according to Zhang Duo's requirements.
However, compared with many times in the previous life, even Director Wang himself did not know what state to shoot, and Zhang Duo in this world at least knew what effect to shoot. So although many people are ignorant, at least the progress is not slow.
In the previous life, many people couldn't understand "East and West Poison" at the beginning. When it was released in the theater, the audience cursed because they were watching Jin Yong's martial arts blockbuster. Unexpectedly, they saw a group of people in the desert, sleepwalking and muttering to themselves.
However, although "East Evil West Poison" is difficult to understand, it is an eternal classic. Even the Journey to the West, which was born out of it, has a similar fate. At first, Journey to the West was not accepted by people. It was released in 1994 and failed at the box office. After 1997, it began to become popular in mainland universities and the Internet. It was popular for a while and lasted for a long time. Its influence is so large and its scope is so wide that no Chinese film can be compared with it.
The first part of "Journey to the West" is the first draft of "East Evil and West Poison", but later Director Wang put it on hold. When Director Liu filmed "Journey to the West", he told Director Wang, are you still there? Director Wang said, take it. Half a month later, Director Liu said that I filmed a play called Journey to the West.
In fact, compared with the two films, it is easy to find that Ouyang Feng has become the supreme treasure, the white camel mountain has become a water curtain hole and a pansi hole, and Murong Yan and Murong Yan have become Zixia and Qingxia.
The opening song is the same as the soundtrack of the scene of Zixia's death in Journey to the West. They are all the lonely shadow of heaven and earth. There is such a dialogue between Liang Chaowei's blind swordsman and another swordsman:
Blind Swordsman: "I shouldn't have come here!"
Butterman: You regret that it's too late now!"
Blind Swordsman: Leave a hand?"
The swordsman: "No, you have to stay and leave your life!"
The final ending of the river and the Journey to the West is very similar.
Sunset Samurai: "It seems that I shouldn't come."
Reincarnation Zixia: "You don't know it's too late until now."
Sunset Samurai: "Can you leave some memories?"
Reincarnation Zixia: "I don't want to remember, just leave your people if you want..."
When thinking of the relationship between "Journey to the West" of "East Evil and West Poison", Zhang Duo became depressed again. Because he planned to take a good rest when he finished shooting "East Evil and West Poison" and "The Color of Heroes". After such a high-intensity work, he was afraid that he would die suddenly that day.
It has been more than a week since school started, but he is too busy to report to school. I heard from the principal Jiang Zhiping that someone went to the Municipal Education Bureau to report that Xingshan No. 1 Middle School leaked the test questions in the process of Zhang Duo's examination. Otherwise, it is impossible for students who have not been in school for half a semester to take the 50th year.
Hearing this, Zhang Duo sneered in his heart and said that if he wanted to, there would be no problem in the tenth year of the exam, and there would be no need to cheat in the 50th exam! However, he is now busy filming and has no time to take care of these, so he entrusted Jiang Zhiping to do it for him.
Looking at the boundless desert, Zhang Duo was entangled again. Should he shoot "Journey to the West"? When I was in school, I liked to write essays off-topic and crooked buildings when chatting. From the original "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" led to "East Evil West Poison", "East Evil West Poison" led "East into West" and back to "East Evil West Poison", and now it has led to "Journey to the West"!
"Oh, the director looked at the desert over there in a daze again!" Shi Tianyou stabbed Gao Zhonghua with his arm and said. You said he was thinking about something every day. I can't see through him!"
Gao Zhonghua said, "Do you want to know what he is thinking?"
"Yes!"
"If you go there and ask, it will be over!" Gao Zhonghua said as a matter of course.
"Damn, if you dare, you can go!" Shi Tianyou raised his eyebrows and said.
The director's temper is usually not very good, especially when he is filming, especially when he has no idea and the actor doesn't understand the script very well. Zhang Duo has been angry a lot these days. These people seem to be immersed in the success of East and West, especially the good news at the box office outside, which makes them all overjoyed.
If Zhang Duo is a prestigious old director, everyone will be scolded, but he is still a child. If he is scolded by Zhang Duo on the set, it will be too disgraceful, so people usually dare not fear his moldy head.
However, Gao Zhonghua thought that he had a good relationship with Zhang Duo. In addition, he had always been straightforward and didn't have so many twists, so he walked to Zhang Duo's side.
The place where Zhang Duo stood was Ouyang Feng's inn in the desert. He stood in front of the balcony of the inn and looked at the distance in a daze.
Gao Zhonghua: "Why have you been watching that desert? Is there anything special about this place?
At this moment, Zhang Duo incarnates Ouyang Feng in the movie and speaks philosophically. Looking at the desert doesn't mean that I'm thinking about it!"
Gao Zhonghua doesn't understand very well, "So what are you thinking about? What are you thinking about behind the desert?"
Zhang Duo smiled disdainfully and said, "It's another desert!"
Then he said to himself, "In fact, everyone will go through this stage. When they see a mountain, they want to know what is behind the mountain. I really want to tell him that maybe after turning over the mountain, you will find nothing special, and looking back, you will think it's better here. But he won't believe that with his personality, he won't be willing to try!"
Zhang Duo suddenly smiled when he read this. He had understood his mind, because he was such a person. When he thought of it, he had to do it. If he didn't try it, he would never be reconciled.
Zhang Duo turned around, patted Gao Zhonghua, and said with a smile, "You are really good, Brother Hua, I'm optimistic about you!"
Zhang Duo clapped his hands and shouted, "Okay, let's start filming!" You will appear later!"
Unlike the young master who is known as the most handsome, chic, snow-white and clean gang in the Beggar Gang of all dynasties, Hong Qi here is dirty. He just came out of the countryside and didn't even eat. He squatted under the broken wall and didn't move for a day.
"Action!" With Chen Feiyang's shout, the camera began to turn. In the lens, Zhang Duo dug his ears casually and said with a smile, "Do you know why I invite you to dinner?"
Hong Qi, played by Gao Zhonghua, said with a dull face, "I don't know!"
Zhang Duo said, "Because I know you are hungry. In fact, I have been paying attention to you for a long time. I saw you squatting under the broken wall and haven't moved for a long time. You don't seem to be sick. I have seen a lot of young people like you. If you know a little martial arts, you think you can dominate the world. In fact, it is very painful to walk around the world. I can do martial arts, and there are many things I can't do. You don't want to farm, do you? You are not ashamed to rob, let alone show up and perform on the street. How do you live? If you are strong in martial arts, you have to eat. There is a profession that suits you very well, which can not only help you earn some money, but also be chivalrous and righteous. Are you interested? You, think about it, but hurry up, you know, you will be hungry soon!"
"CUT, pass!"
The whole film can be said to have no plot, and there are such philosophical dialogues and large monologues everywhere. In his previous life, the play was dragged down for two years. Because of the schedule, the scenes of these stars were extremely scattered. Only his brother had time to spend time with Director Wang in the desert. As a result, he became the only one who could connect the whole film.
In the previous life, after Director Wang completely overthrew the initial role, all the scenes were abolished after 30 days of filming, but for Zhang Duo, there was no such a serious waste problem. This micro-plot, even a plotless movie, does not have a big scene, and there is no need to change the scene. It only took 30 days for the whole crew to complete the shooting. There are no more than a few days than Dongchengxi. They are all super fast films. It also earned Zhang Duo the nickname of "fast shooter in the film industry" in the future.
When the crew came out of the desert, they also got the latest film information, that is, a month after its release, the box office just exceeded 200 million.
In the previous life, after the release of a film, the box office in the first week was generally the highest. The later the box office fell sharply, and it was usually painted in about a month.
, while "East to West" is different. Under the influence of the original novel and TV series, there are many potential fans. With the film's box office and reputation, more and more people can't help walking into the cinema, and some audiences look back twice and three times, making the box office higher and the attendance rate stronger.
In this case, of course, the film will continue to be released. Everyone is guessing what its limit is, 250 million, 200 million, or 300 million!
