Chapter 266: Rough words but not rough reasoning
Chen An scratched his head helplessly.
I originally planned to tell the other party about the candidate after the Golden Horse Awards.
Unexpectedly, the other party found it by himself.
"It's quite good. Let the company contact the other party." Chen An nodded and said.
It doesn't matter if it's a little earlier or later.
"By the way, I drew some storyboard designs. Take a look at them." Seeing that Chen An also agreed, Chen Wei took out another stack of papers and handed them over.
Chen An looked at the pile of things in his hands. He had originally wanted to work an early shift, but it seemed there was no hope.
"Let me take a look." Chen An walked back with the things and sat on the sofa.
Chen Wei followed behind with great anticipation, wanting to hear Chen An's comments.
"Well, can you draw better? Yours is the same as Jiang Wen's. I can't really judge it." Chen An looked at a few pictures and said seriously.
As expected of Jiang Wen's student, he has learned the technique very well, even the storyboards are the same and they look like stick figures.
Chen An also used the freehand painting style at the beginning, since he was the only one who could understand it. Later, he changed his style after he went to Hollywood and gained some artistic skills.
Chen Wei scratched his head helplessly and said awkwardly: "This is the best painting I have ever made. I think Jiang Wen's is the same. You should understand it. Besides, yours was not much better when we were filming "Little Forest". "
"Did you understand me at that time?"
"It's like a ghost painting, who can understand it!" Chen Wei said righteously, thinking about Chen An's original storyboard.
"How good do you think you are? You can't understand mine, so how can I understand yours?" Chen An was speechless. How could he say it so confidently!
This kind of freehand painting style may look fine to you, but it will leave others confused.
"Then let me tell you and explain it to you. This is it." Chen Wei, who was good at empathy, felt that there was some truth in it and started to gesture with his claws and teeth.
Chen An listened, watched and nodded.
Finally, after Chen Wei had spent a lot of energy describing the situation, Chen An spoke solemnly, "Well, you decide for yourself. Or, wait until the project is approved?"
In general, there is only one thing that I didn’t understand!
"."
Chen Wei also understood that all his efforts were in vain.
Chen An felt that Xu Zheng seemed to have some directing abilities, so why not let them work it out together?
"Okay, you don't have to say anything. The script has been given to you anyway, and I believe in you. Jiang Wen also thinks you are very talented. You can decide for yourself." In the end, Chen An patted the other person's shoulder lightly and made the decision.
Let's see the real thing with our own hands in the end.
"Forget it, there's still some time. I'll find an artist to draw some and give them to you later." Chen Wei also shook his head but still wanted to show it to Chen An.
Chen An also nodded, "No problem, there is still a lot of time to prepare, so take your time."
Chen Wei took back his things and sorted them out, then suddenly asked, "By the way, the location scout decided to film in Xiangbei, don't you want Zeng Li to act in it as well?"
"It's unnecessary and meaningless, and I won't let her be a match for that woman."
"That's a shame. After all, it's her hometown."
Seeing that Chen An had no idea, Chen Wei had no idea either.
If Zeng Li performs in the show, it will still increase the popularity a lot.
"Work hard and shoot the second film well, so that you can get rid of Jiang Wen's expression. Otherwise, it will be difficult to get rid of it later." Finally, Chen An encouraged Chen Wei.
When "Looking for the Gun" first appeared, there was still a lot of debate about the ginger smell of the movie.
But after "The Labyrinth of Heart", the situation became one-sided. Both films were directed by new directors, with Jiang Wen as the lead actor. They had the same familiar flavor, and even a fool could see something was going on.
Therefore, the second work of both Diao Yinan and Chen Wei is very important.
"I know, that's why I've been wanting you to give me some advice and show you my ideas." Chen Wei nodded. He also understood this matter.
The Lunar New Year holiday is approaching.
Feng Xiaogang's new movie "Cell Phone" is currently being promoted vigorously.
As a director who has risen in recent years and is different from Zhang Yimou, Chen An and others, he is a director who focuses on the commercial field.
After Chen An went to Hollywood, it has been occupying the top spot in the annual box office list in the mainland.
He established his own film style based on the reputation of ordinary audiences and gradually became one of the well-known directors in China.
Although he doesn't win so many awards, the guarantee of commercial box office is also the reason for his stable position.
But in 01, Chen An made a strong comeback with "Time and Space Clues" and broke the box office record, even exceeding million, which was more than the total of his own movies in the past few years.
Zhang Yimou then turned to commercialization and released the film "Hero", which was also not to be outdone. Although it did not break Chen An's box office record, it also reached a box office of 2.5 million yuan.
The two of them are leading by a huge margin!
Although he was dubbed as a commercial film director, he failed to even break the 100 million mark.
Originally, neither of them had any news of a major release this year, so they should be able to return to the top of the box office charts and establish some achievements.
Although it is not as good as the big productions that were highly anticipated, it is also a work of transformation in terms of one's own style and is highly anticipated.
But no one expected that Chen An would make another comeback, and his literary film "Shoplifters" directly made a box office of 120 million!
Even though it's a movie that won the Palme d'Or, it shouldn't be so outrageous. What's there to be proud of?
"Xiaogang, stop sighing. Besides, Ge You is very popular right now, which is good for the movie."
Seeing her husband sighing, his wife Xu Fan couldn't help but persuade him.
"Originally, I was quite confident. I never thought that an art film by Chen An could get such a box office. Sometimes I really don't understand it." Feng Xiaogang shook his head, confused.
I know that you, Chen An, are capable, but it shouldn't be so outrageous. It's ok for a commercial film, but it's really hard to understand why an art film competing for awards can have such a box office.
"I think he was lucky. He just happened to run into that incident. This time, Jinji took the blame, and he was lucky not to be dragged into it in the end."
"You just say something nice, it's not that simple."
Faced with his wife's persuasion, Feng Xiaogang smiled and felt a little better.
Xu Fan smiled and it seemed that what he said had some effect. He continued, "Don't think too much. Your new movie won't be bad this time. You have been preparing for it for so long and it will definitely be able to get hundreds of millions of box office like them."
"I was quite confident originally, but now it's hard to say. The script has been revised again and again and it's still not finalized."
Speaking of this, Feng Xiaogang sighed again, and hesitated unconsciously.
The script alone is stuck and filming hasn't started yet.
Sometimes it's really frustrating to compare yourself to others. Movies like Chen An's can pass the review and be exhibited, but mine is stuck here and still can't be released after several attempts and revisions.
"There's still plenty of time. We can take it slow. Even Chen An has invested in sending his lover, a popular actress, here. This shows that he is also quite optimistic about her. She must be good."
"Ok?"
Feng Xiaogang's brain froze for a moment when he heard what his wife said. What was she saying? But when he listened carefully, it made sense.
Although it sounds weird, it's actually okay if you think about it carefully.
Chen An is quite optimistic about it. Isn't it very promising? After all, the opponent is currently known as the "invincible myth".
It came from Hollywood. Even those white guys believe in it, so it makes some sense.
Hearing his wife's unusual compliments to another man, Feng Xiaogang suddenly became confident again!
