2872【New film preparation】
"A Chinese Ghost Story" is a magical movie, with the action directive of Cheng Xiaodong, and the style of Wuda is freehand. Nie Xiaoqian's white clothes are fluttering, grandma's huge tongue dances, and Yan Chixia's sword energy is everywhere... These actors basically don't know how to do it, but they hit the sky and the earth, and are colorful and exciting. Because it uses the domestic special effects technology of steelmaking in the country, it was considered relatively advanced at that time.
But "Kill Bill" is a realistic film, imitating the Fusang Sword and Sword films from the 1960s and 1970s and Shaw Brothers martial arts films. The style is realistic. The fist is to the flesh, the sword is light and the shadow of the sword, and the hands and feet are broken at every turn, and blood is gushing. In addition, there are scenes of chasing cars, which make this movie not only difficult but also dangerous.
In his previous life, Uma Thurman, the heroine of "Kill Bill", accused that she was almost murdered by director Quentin. Because of a car chase scene, Quentin asked her to go racing in person for the sake of the screen effect, and the speed was very fast.
As a result, Uma Thurman crashed, causing her to suffer a concussion, and the injuries to her neck and knee also left her sequelae, which made her still angry after more than ten years.
Xia Tian also knew about this grudge, so to be on the safe side, he did not intend to let Wang Xiaoxian go to the battlefield. Although Wang Xiaoxian is an athlete, her physique is not very good.
You should know that she is 1.75 meters tall and weighs only about fifty kilograms. Such a slender and compact physique is very suitable for camera, but it is based on the sacrifice of confrontation.
Like real basketball players, their physiques are quite terrifying.
O'Neal is 2.16 meters tall and weighs 147 kilograms. In the "Fast and Furious" series, the two strong men, Vin Diesel and Dwayne Johnson, are already quite tall in the eyes of ordinary people, but they are far behind O'Neal.
It is precisely because of her strong physique that O'Neal was able to rush around in the basketball world and gain the reputation of "Big Shark". Wang Xiaoxian is not as strong as that. Her physique is much worse than that of a muscular man like Vin Diesel and Dwayne Johnson. It can be said that her confrontation is very poor.
Xia Tian conservatively estimated that she could suffer heavy internal injuries with one punch, so she would never take risks with her physique like this.
You know, action actresses are not easy to be. Li Saifeng, Hu Huizhong, Yang Ziqiong, Yang Lijing, Oshima Yugali, Michiko Michiko, etc., all suffered a lot. For example, Yang Lijing almost suffered from a protruding lumbar spine, which caused her lower body to be paralyzed. Hu Huizhong also had experience of being disfigured by gasoline bombs.
Xia Tian doesn't want Wang Xiaoxian to take such risks, even if the risks are extremely low, he cannot accept them.
...
"Brother Tian, you're so sensational." Wang Qixian looked at Xia Tian with a smile.
"I mean it's true." Xia Tian nodded, "Action stars are not that easy to be. I was a Dragon and Tiger Martial Artist back then. Can I not know these things?
I don’t object to filming a movie, but it’s too outrageous to shoot an action movie. I’ll think this is the case. I’ll help you figure out a script to make you enjoy the drama. How about it?”
"It must be a good script." Wang Qixian nodded when he heard what he said.
"Don't worry, it's definitely a good script." Xia Tian smiled. Seeing that Wang Xiaoxian did not bother with the movie "Kill Bill", he was really relieved.
But then again, there are not many plays suitable for Wang Xiaoxian.
You should know that female characters themselves suffer in the film and television industry. A male actor in his forties and fifties can still act in love scenes. The ones they partner with are usually girls in their twenties or even teenagers, and there is no sense of incongruity at all.
But after actresses are over 30 years old, they usually don’t have suitable roles, and many of them have to retreat to the second line. Not to mention partnering with young and handsome guys, they continue to shoot love scenes. Even if they act in love scenes with male actors in their forties and fifties, they will think they are too old.
Like TVB, Shang Tiane is only one year older than Guo Jindun. When he was young, he also played a couple with Zhang Guorong. When he was forty, he had to play a role as a mother.
There are not many scenes suitable for actresses around thirty years old, and Wang Xiaoxian is a Chinese, so there are even fewer scenes suitable for her.
So, Xia Tian was in trouble for a moment and didn’t know what kind of play to write for her.
...
However, the scripts he wrote before, such as "The Matrix", "Pirates of the Caribbean", "Spy Shadows", "X-Men", etc., were passed on to Tianxia Production, allowing them to start preparing for the filming.
Last year, Xia Tian helped Tianxia produce several movies such as "The Peerless Heavenly Tribulation", "I'm Crazy for Mary", "National Enemy", and also helped them write scripts such as "Born of a Couple", "Rush Hour", "Mummy", and "Daughty Devil".
Nowadays, these movies have been produced one after another, and some have even been released. For example, several movies such as "I'm Crazy for Mary", "Born a Couple", and "Rush Hour" have been released and have achieved very good box office and reputation.
The most satisfying thing about summer is the movie "Rush Hour", which has brought Cheng Long, who was already very popular, to a new level of fame.
The total investment of this movie is only 35 million US dollars, but it received a box office of 140 million US dollars in North America, and the global box office exceeded 240 million US dollars, making Tianxia Production a big profit.
As for "The Peerless Heavenly Tribulation", "National Enemy", "Mummy", "Darkward", etc., it has not been released yet because there are more special effects required to be produced.
However, I have watched the original film in summer and it was still pretty good. Especially "Mummy", although there is no special effects and looks a bit silly, I have to say that this kind of magical action film with exotic adventure themes is really eye-catching.
These movies will be released this year, that is, in 1999.
The scripts that Summer now give them will be made into movies this year and will be released next year. Of course, because of the special effects of "The Matrix", "Pirates of the Caribbean", and "X-Men" may not be released around 2000.
In this way, the world's production will have powerful works released every year, which will be beneficial to the company's development.
Because although Tianxia Production has become a giant now, it lacks foundation and accumulation after all.
Only by constantly launching new and excellent works can it maintain its popularity, keep it on the throne of giants, and maintain its identity as a giant.
