Chapter 964: Ruin something

In the small meeting room, Wu Baige talked freely.
"I started working on "Red Cliff" last year. The main investor is Colombia. They want to make a version that is acceptable to both the East and the West.
Americans are not familiar with our culture, and it is quite difficult to simplify the complexity. In the end, 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 the mainland also support it. I also met the leaders of the Film Bureau, which gave me a lot of confidence.
To be honest, I am not familiar with the mainland, Mr. Zou..."
He looked at Zou Jingzhi and said with a smile: "You are one of the best screenwriters, so I beg you. In addition, I am also open and honest. I have found a screenwriter from Hong Kong and Taiwan.
In other words, you write three versions separately. Remuneration is not a problem, but I don’t necessarily use it, or I may use part of it..."
"Understanding."
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 power of a real war, to subvert people's traditional concepts without going against history. For example, Liu Bei is no longer cowardly, Cao Cao is no longer treacherous, Zhou Yu is no longer stingy... …"
Ok?
Zou Jingzhi scratched his head, is this a traditional concept?
"Take the middle of history and romance to find a fit." Han Sanping said.
"Yes, that's it."
"Did the actors think about it?"
"To be honest, I would prefer Zhou Runfa. His play style, strength, and overseas influence make it possible to 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 Japanese actors, and they recommended Ken Watanabe."
Dongying likes the Three Kingdoms, especially Cao Aman.
When CCTV filmed "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", there was a Japanese approach to investment. The condition was that a Japanese actor would play Cao Cao, but Ren Dahui refused.
At this moment, Han Sanping was also a little awkward, but now he has just negotiated and has not made any comments.
The battle line of "Red Cliff" dragged a long way. From 2004 to 2008, the main Wu Baige did not give up his job in Hollywood, and was always looking for opportunities to stand up.
After I was sure I was cold, I focused on "Red Cliff".
The current investors, Japan, South Korea, and Hong Kong have already been determined, and the Taiwanese have not yet been negotiated. After the negotiations are settled, Xiao Qiao will start to play.

The mainland China Film Group definitely wanted to invest. Later, Orange Sky and Poly Huayi joined, with a total budget of more than 60 million US dollars.
Wu Baige simply met, Han Sanping supported, and Zou Jingzhi began to write the script. In fact, what he wrote was not appreciated, and later he went to reed to write.
Lu Wei is not satisfied with what he wrote, but Dadao Wu and his wife wrote it themselves.
Oh, cute!
After this meeting, the entertainment circle could not hide the news, and the media quickly exposed:
"Wu Yusen conspired in "Red Cliff" in the capital, Zhou Runfa may play Zhou Yu!"
"Wu Yusen didn't know Bae Yongjoon and denied asking him to appear in "The Battle of Chibi"!"
"The Battle of Chibi" has not yet signed a contract with the actors, Gu Changwei is not sure about the mirror!"
""Red Cliff" will start next year, 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", so he had a brief chat with me. It was only a preliminary contact, and nothing was decided."
The 25-year-old Zhang Jingchu is generous and unrestrained.
She played Abi in "Dragon Babu" and was able to sign a contract, and then made a tepid TV series. This year's "Peacock" was a blockbuster, and finally realized the taste of popularity.
She has been in the limelight in recent years, chasing Zhang Ziyi, and then suddenly disappeared. Some said that the "director's wives group" was offended, and some said it was broken with the backstage.
After the comeback, resources are actually fine, but bad luck.
Filming a "Three-body" to play Ye Wenjie, a well-deserved female number one, ended up being cold.
Filming "A Desperate Love", the result was also cold, because the hero is Huang Haibo.
Zhang Jing, who was born in the early 80s, was supposed to be the representative of the post-80s actresses, but unfortunately she missed the opportunity if she missed it. Now she is 40 years old...
"What are your thoughts on this drama?"
"Look at the script. The script hasn't come out. I will definitely not accept anything."
"What if the script is not good?"
"Then, then I will listen to you!"
Zhang Jingchu sold a small clever, Xu Fei smiled, and said: "You have good acting skills, and you will develop into movies in the future. Don't be proud and keep working hard."
"Thank Mr. Xu!"
Zhang Jingchu left, and not long after, another guest came.
It was actually Zou Jingzhi.
By the way, Xu Fei's pioneering work "Happy Marriage", and this is the screenwriter of the original "Love Treasure".
"Come and come, the first screenwriter in China."
"Don't bury me, I am the blessing of Tuoli."
"You are making each other perfect."
Zou Jingzhi wrote four Kangxi and four Ji Xiaolan. The time when he was the hottest was when Zhang Guoli was the hottest.
Xu Fei made tea for him and smiled: "I invite you to satisfy your curiosity today. "Red Cliff" has been going viral recently. I heard that you took the script?"
"Well, I'm writing."
Zou Jingzhi did not hide anything, saying: "He also found a Taiwanese, who said it was the screenwriter of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon". There is also a Hong Kong one who is not familiar with it.
I am one of them. "
"How about this project?"
"Uh, hehe..."
Zou Jingzhi is not good at harming others, and euphemistically said: "I have also watched director Wu's movies, and then by chatting with him, I feel that the cultural heritage is almost impossible.
For example, when I mentioned "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", he seemed to have never heard of it. It was very vague.
Anyway, I have reservations, because he is afraid that he can control historical figures, and he is not as handy as he can control gangster figures. "
"what!"
Xu Feile was over.
When Wu Baige fired Zou Jingzhi and found Reed.
Reed said that he 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.
Oh, good Xiaoqiao, good Lin Chiling, you have to write Xiaoqiao!
We want to embody peace. Peace is a very great theme!
He...tui!
In the end, the script was a mess. Lu Wei revealed that Wu Baige's wife was also involved.
"Mengmeng, stand up!"
It is said that this is written by his wife.
"Red Cliff" lines are Lei, a model of generation. Director Wu himself said: "In fact, there are difficulties, in order to make foreign audiences understand."
So Zhang Fengyi had to abandon Cao Cao's lines written by Lu Wei and say something "desire makes young people."
Guan Yu yelled: "You are out of date!"
Sun Shangxiang: "The rise and fall of the world is the responsibility of the Pi girl!"
Nima, the Chinese can't understand it either! What is the responsibility of the Pi girl?
The plot is also terrible, Cao Cao's 800,000 army crushes the realm, life and death! Zhou Yu’s training stall, picking up children and going home to deliver the baby...
In short, Xu Fei listened very happily to Zou Jingzhi's complaints.
Zou Jingzhi is inexplicable, what do you mean?
"Mr. Xu, you are so concerned about "Red Cliff" because you want to..."
"Hey, I don't want to shoot!"
Xu Fei smashed his mouth, and said to his heart: Actually, it's okay to take one, and fight against Wu Baige? It’s not too exciting, but I’m not happy watching this drama!
Very upset!
