"Get ready, blast!"
The air cannon that had been prepared was fired immediately, and the city of Los Angeles, which was built with a miniature model, was instantly destroyed.
When you build a pile of blocks, you will have an inexplicable urge to knock it down.
This is the situation now. The city that took a lot of time and effort to build was destroyed by one shot, which brought Yang Ye an inexplicable pleasure, which was even better than shooting a cannon!
Hey, isn’t this also about having sex?
Weird!
High-speed cameras record everything quickly, but this alone is not enough.
We also need to shoot footage of the bread being broken, study the trajectory of the fragments, and then use digital technology to recreate it This kind of movement.
We also need to shoot a close-up shot of Lin Qingxia being destroyed by a nuclear bomb. This requires scanning her expression with infrared rays, then making a model, and then using stop-motion animation.
Finally, all the shots are combined to create the final nuclear explosion effect.
After everything was completed, Yang Ye announced: ""Terminator 2"... is finished!"
"Bah bang bang bang!"
The studio burst into warm applause, and everyone Everyone was relieved and had warm smiles on their faces.
Although the movie has not yet been released, during the filming process, they created magical shots one after another, making everyone believe that this will be an epoch-making masterpiece!
……
At the wrap-up party, Yang Ye said to John Woo: "Old Wu, although all the shots have been shot, you can't relax yet. You have to help me keep an eye on it in the later stages. Once this is done, whatever movie you want to make, I will do my best." Support."
Wu Yusen was overjoyed. This was what he was waiting for, and he quickly said: "I will try my best!"
Yang Ye said to Zhang Yimou again: "Mouzi, you are right. What do you think of this movie?”
Zhang Yimou thought for a while, shook his head and said, “I don’t know how to describe my feelings during the filming process in two words. That's... shocking!
I used to think that making a movie was just about writing a script, finding a few actors, and then shooting with a camera.
I didn’t expect that there were so many incredible ways to shoot so many amazing shots. I... admire it! "
Zhang Yimou didn't know what to say, so he raised his fist directly towards Yang Ye.
Yang Ye patted his shoulder and said, "Mouzi, you have a very keen sense of color. , given time, you will become an extremely good photographer.
But I can see that your ambition goes beyond that. You are not willing to just be a photographer. You would rather be able to run a project by yourself, right? ”
Zhang Yimou was told the central issue by Yang Ye, so he had no choice but to nod his head and admit it very bachelorly.
"Yes!"
"Very good!" Yang Ye slammed the table and praised: "Since you have talent and ambition, I will provide you with a stage to show off. Do you have any subjects you want to shoot? ?”
Zhang Yimou was very excited. He did have a subject he wanted to shoot, but just as he was about to blurt it out, he suddenly hesitated and stopped the car abruptly.
Seeing that he was hesitant to speak, Yang Ye asked suspiciously: "What's wrong?"
Zhang Yimou said: "I do have a subject in mind that I want to shoot, but... follow After you finished shooting such a cool "Terminator 2", I felt that the subject matter was... very earthy, so I felt a little hesitant."
Yang Ye said: "If you want to succeed in art, the secret is just two words, confidence! You must have strong confidence in your work and what you want to express, otherwise, your artistic career will end here. "It's so frustrating."
After hearing this, Zhang Yimou couldn't help but feel ashamed. He poured himself a glass of wine, drank it in one gulp, and said: "There is a writer named Mo Yan in the mainland. He is good at writing magic. A realistic novel, he has a novel called "Red Sorghum", I think it is very suitable to be adapted into a movie."
When Yang Ye heard this, he said to himself, sure enough, some things must come as they should.
The film "Red Sorghum" is simple, crude and full of wild power. For this film, Zhang Yimou won the Golden Bear Award at the Berlin Film Festival.
It also made Gong Li famous in one fell swoop and influenced Jiang Wen's life. The shadow of this film can be seen in Jiang Wen's subsequent movies.
For Yang Ye, it is not impossible to support Zhang Yimou in the filming of "Red Sorghum".
But... Zhang Yimou fell in love with Gong Li because of this movie, and Yang Ye couldn't bear it.
For such a thing as going to Gong Li... Of course, let me do it!
Forget it, if he wants to take a picture, let him take it. I will cut off the beard when the time comes.
Yang Ye said: "I have read this novel. If you say it is earthy, it is indeed very earthy, but like you, it grew out of this land. If you think it is earthy, then it is It’s easy to be foreign, but it’s hard to keep your heart. I support you in filming!”
Yang Ye was three years younger than Zhang Yimou, and he spoke in an old-fashioned way, with a touch of chicken soup for the soul. However, Zhang Yimou did not feel any discomfort. On the contrary, he was very grateful to Yang Ye for giving him guidance.
After all, Yang Ye’s achievements are there.
“Thank you, boss!” Zhang Yimou said happily.
Yang Ye thought for a while and said: "Let's co-produce this movie with a mainland film studio. They will provide resources and provide filming convenience. We will provide the money and spend as much as we want. It is based on the premise of making a good movie. Just waste it.”
In fact, it doesn’t cost much. This movie won’t even cost one million, but the investment company can earn at least ten million.
Zhang Yimou came from Xiying Studio. He said: "Can we cooperate with Xiying Studio?"
Yang Ye nodded: "No problem, then you can go north directly next week, but you have to go quickly, Gaoliang There should not be many people growing this thing now.
So, if you want to make this movie, you have to grow sorghum yourself and hire someone to take care of it. If you delay, you will have to wait until next year." br>
Zhang Yimou agreed and toasted Yang Ye with another glass of wine.
Yang Ye had a drink with him and added: "I'm going on a business trip to the mainland in a few months, and I'll help you check it!" What check? Of course it’s to lock up Gong Li!
...
The awesome thing about the movie "Red Sorghum" is that it breaks the rule that no one will watch a movie that has won awards abroad after returning to China.
Kai Zige's "Yellow Earth" was the first film to win an award at an international film festival after the reform, with a box office of 809 yuan.
And Zhang Yimou's "Red Sorghum" directly earned 40 million, which was a real word-of-mouth hit and a box office hit.
The most amazing thing is that this movie can also sell for money overseas. For example, it sold for more than 4 million Hong Kong dollars in Hong Kong.
Don’t laugh, it’s already very high.
Many people in future generations will criticize "Red Sorghum" to vilify the Chinese people.
Actually, not only later generations, there were also people who complained like this at that time, and they were very enthusiastic, but they were all old people.
Many old professors believe that "Red Sorghum" caters to the vulgar tastes of some viewers, such as skinning people, peeing in wine vats, and men and women having sex in the sorghum fields and other vulgar scenes.
But...the older people sneer, but the younger generation desperately protects them.
Young people loved this movie so much that when walking on the street they would shout, "Sister, go forward boldly..."
That era was the most open era in the history of the country. , has just been re-opened, everyone is eager to learn about the world, and the excitement of various exhibitions is like crowding into the subway in later generations.
Even body art that was once labeled as "dirty and vulgar" can be legitimately displayed on the stage.
The first "Oil Painting Body Art Exhibition" opened at the National Art Museum of China, and the queue to see the exhibition stretched two stops away.
...
Since Yang Ye’s super blockbuster film "Terminator 2" is coming, other film companies are a little trembling and are adjusting their schedules.
There is no way. The cost of a blockbuster movie costing 500 million Hong Kong dollars is as much as the local box office of Hong Kong movies in a year. It’s so scary.
In fact, the original "Terminator 2" was not very successful in Hong Kong. In 1991, the box office was 27.93 million Hong Kong dollars, ranking ninth in the year.
Being hung up and beaten by Zhou Xingchi's "Fighting Back to School", Chen Long's "Eagle Project", and Zhou Runfa's "Across the World".
But that was taken by foreigners, but Yang Ye's version was taken by Chinese. These are two different things.
Jiang Zhiqiang said: "I heard that many movies have been moved to July to avoid "Terminator 2"."
When Xu Ke heard this, he suddenly frowned, and everyone avoided Yang Ye, but came to him.
Xu Fengdao: "I think so. Aaron's "Plan A Sequel" will be released on June 28th, and it will be the first. Aaron and Xiaoxian's "A Chinese Ghost Story" will be released on July 18th, and it will be in the middle. "Aye's "Terminator 2" will be released on August 8th, and it will be released at the end of the movie."
Everyone thinks this is good. The two bosses at the front and back are protecting each other, and the "A Chinese Ghost Story" huddled in the middle feels very safe. .
Xu Ke was very satisfied with this schedule arrangement, but suddenly said: "By the way, Yang Shaofei wants to act in my "Diary of a Real Man", which has to be scheduled for the summer!"
Jiang Zhiqiang didn't know about this yet. He said strangely: "I've never heard of it. When will the filming start? Will it be that fast?"
Xu Ke said: "He said it will be completed in one month and it will be released directly then!"
Jiang Zhiqiang is a little bit Confused, so fast?
……
A black car is parked outside Kai Tak Airport.
Yang Ye wore sunglasses and leaned on the back of the chair to listen to music.
Wang Zuxian sat in the passenger seat, holding the script of "The Diary of a Real Man" and reading it with gusto.
In this script, Yang Ye is called Yang Ye, and the two wives are simply called Zuer and Mingcai, too lazy to change.
In the script, Yang Ye was struggling to deal with his two wives and made all kinds of embarrassments, which made Wang Zuxian laugh.
"Brother Ye, you are so embarrassed. Are you sure you want to make this movie?"
"Idle time is idle, just have fun!"
"Wait a minute where are we going? Ah?”
“Let’s go home after picking up the food. Where can we go?”
“That’s so boring. How about we go eat seafood at your Liangchuanwan lobster? Is there any more?”
"What a foodie, she was raised in the sea!"
"Akina is here!"
Nakamori Akina did not bring an assistant. She pushed her suitcase alone, wearing sunglasses, and walked from the airport in a low-key manner. Come out.
Wang Zuxian quickly opened the car window and waved to her vigorously!
Nakamori Akina saw Wang Zuxian waving and quickly quickened her pace.
Yang Ye glanced at Akina Nakamori from a distance through the windshield of the car... She has lost weight! (End of this chapter)
