Feng Xiaogang stood aside and watched Cheng Xiaodong filming a martial arts scene.

Unlike Li An, Feng Xiaogang did not mean to interfere in martial arts. He felt that professional things should be completed by professionals. He said the effect he wanted and handed over the rest of the work to Cheng Xiaodong.

Only when he had different ideas from him did he communicate with Cheng Xiaodong.

In other words, Feng Xiaogang has no strong control over the crew.

He knew that he was not a professional and not an all-round talent. He was willing to make movies with a cooperative attitude, and as long as the opinions he put forward were appropriate, he could accept them.

It can be said that he is modest and tolerant, or he can be said that he has self-knowledge.

Of course, his attitude is to those who are truly capable and convinced.

He discussed the script with Jiang Wen, letting Cheng Xiaodong take control of the martial arts drama, and even handed over the editing rights to the editor.

This kind of delegation of power is exactly what Feng Xiaogang is so brilliant.

I may not have any knowledge, know a lot, and have a strong sense of art, but I can combine you together and make a film that the audience thinks is pretty good.

"Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" won the Oscar, and Feng Xiaogang was in a hot mood, and the pressure doubled.

He does not hide his desire for fame and fortune, and wants to be successful in this industry and be respected.

For this reason, he made New Year's films, joined the Directors Association, actively participated in various activities in the film industry, and allowed himself to move forward step by step in this circle.

The award is Feng Xiaogang's weakness.

He is defined as a director of a New Year film, and he won an award at a foreign film festival and was ridiculed as a township award.

The media calls him a big director, which means the box office of the movie rather than his artistic achievements. This is exactly what the domestic entertainment industry values ​​the most.

It is precisely because Zhang Yimou won many awards that he can make a fortune in the entertainment industry.

If Heroes can win the Oscar...

Feng Xiaogang has had this idea more than once. In fact, it is not only him, but the success of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" has made many people have ideas, which is normal.

It would be abnormal if you really don't want it.

Lin Zixuan and Feng Xiaogang analyzed that the chance of winning the Oscars in "Heroes" is very small, and it is impossible for the Oscar to award the Best Foreign Language Film Award to Chinese films in succession, or is it a martial arts film of the same type.

The winning of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" just shows that the difficulty of winning Chinese films in the next few years has increased significantly.

Unfortunately, some people still want to give it a try, thinking it is an opportunity, otherwise they would not be willing to give up.

Feng Xiaogang is the same. Even if he doesn’t win the award, it doesn’t matter if he thinks about it in his heart.

He felt that the crew had undergone a huge change after the award of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon". Everyone was like a tightening clockwork and working hard.

It turned out that there was still a need for urging, but now the initiative has been greatly improved.

Including the staff of Xiangjiang, they have shown all their skills, and Oscars are more attractive to them.

"Hero" is comparable to "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" in terms of investment scale and cast, and also the investment of American film companies is very likely to replicate the success of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon".

These people also thought that it was not only a matter of scenery, but also that they would have different value in the future when participating in the production of an Oscar-winning film.

Feng Xiaogang is happy to see it, and occasionally uses "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" to boost morale.

Cheng Xiaodong is a famous martial arts director in Xiangjiang. He entered the martial arts craftsmanship in the late 1960s and worked in it for 30 years. He served as the martial arts director in many classic martial arts films in Xiangjiang.

The competition in Xiangjiang martial arts industry is fierce.

This time, Yuan Heping made a big splash in Hollywood with "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", so Cheng Xiaodong was naturally unwilling to fall behind and put a lot of effort into the action design of "Hero".

The martial arts scenes in "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" are mainly swords, with swords running in a different way, light and elegant.

Especially the fights on the bamboo forest look pleasing to the eye and beautiful, but lack a sense of excitement.

The sharp and dangerous side of swordsmanship in "Heroes" highlights the sharp and dangerous side of swordsmanship. The battle between assassins is not a joke, but a life-and-death battle, and life is at stake.

Cheng Xiaodong wanted to show another martial arts style, which was more grand and intense.

"Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" is a story in the world, while "Hero" reaches the national level. The ranger swordsmen from thousands of years ago are not restricted and are willing to revenge.

In "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", martial arts figures and the government are too deeply involved, and they are in a dilemma.

These two films are different in every way.

After filming this part, Feng Xiaogang stepped forward and chatted with Cheng Xiaodong for a few words, mainly because of the issue of a stand-in.

Li An requires actors to use substitutes as much as possible when filming, and Feng Xiaogang requires that they must use substitutes in dangerous scenes, which is a protection for actors.

The substitute of the martial arts has a foundation in kung fu and knows how to avoid it when encountering dangers.

If an actor doesn't work, he will easily hurt himself. Once he is injured, the shooting progress will be affected.

In this regard, the directors have different ideas. Li An pays more attention to the authenticity of the performance, and the stand-in cannot perform.

Feng Xiaogang wants to ensure that the film is completed smoothly and not allow the actors to have accidents.

Wang Baoqiang stood outside, looking at Feng Xiaogang and Cheng Xiaodong chatting. Jiang Wen and Zhao Wenzhuo were in the distance.

He spent several months on the crew of "Heroes" and systematically understood the operation process of the crew. This is a large crew of hundreds of people, and each department performs its own duties.

The martial arts show is mainly responsible for shooting and guiding martial arts shows.

After the filming of "Heroes", he played a supporting role and served as a stand-in. When he was fine, he would watch it from the side. Although he worked hard, he felt that he could learn new things every day.

There is no such opportunity to be an extra.

The Blind Well, which he starred in, unexpectedly failed to pass the review of the General Administration, and could only follow the international film festival route.

The film won an Art Achievement Award at the Berlin Film Festival. Western filmmakers are keen on this type of film, and director Li Yang has gained some fame.

But for Wang Baoqiang, the situation has not changed much.

"Blind Well" cannot be released in China. It has become a banned film because it illegally participated in the film festival. Fortunately, the director and actor are not famous and the punishment is not high, which is fines and writing inspections.

The main reason is that there are too many such situations, and the sixth generation of directors rushed to the international film festival in groups.

As long as the film is not a problematic film, it is basically not allowed to be released in domestic theaters. The General Administration's management in this regard is much more relaxed than in the 1990s, and the atmosphere is gradually relaxed.

Wang Baoqiang did not become famous for "Blind Well", but he also had a work that was outstanding.

After Feng Xiaogang and Cheng Xiaodong chatted, he walked towards the periphery. He wanted to take time to go to the hospital to see Fu Biao.

He empathized with Fu Biao's experience, so he had a heart attack. He was hospitalized when he filmed "The Funeral of Big Names". Now he still carries emergency medicine with him.

Working in this industry, irregular life and excessive fatigue are likely to cause diseases.

Feng Xiaogang sighed as he walked, and suddenly saw Wang Baoqiang. He had some impression of this person. He was an actor from his company, so he nodded at Wang Baoqiang.
Chapter completed!
