Chapter 416: Clear self-awareness!

“Hey! Come on, come on! Tian’er, come here, I’ll recommend a good book to you!”

As Xia Tian entered the door, he was called over by Fang Yan, a man with a crew cut and a round face.

This is a gathering of people from the Haima Creative Studio, all of whom are literati, writers, and film and television practitioners.

Before summer, he had already held a superior position among this group of people. Although he was not the leader, he was the one who could not be ignored.

This time, having won the Palme d’Or, its status has been raised even more.

As soon as he entered the door, everyone’s eyes turned to him.
Xia Tian: How about I make an announcement?
Everyone at the Hippocampus Creative Center lined up to greet Xia Tian and praised him for winning the Cannes Palme d’Or to boost everyone’s morale!

At this time, the writer still has a lot of cards, but Xia Tian is a famous writer in the country.

Serious literature is available, and popular literature is the best-selling one. It can be said that the combined sales of all the works of the writers present are not as good as the sales of one book in summer!

If you say that the director has a high status, he has won the three major European Palme d’Ors.

Damn, how can we compare? If we compare ourselves to others, we will die!
After Xia Tian greeted him, he sat down next to Fang Yan and asked, “What book can I ask you to recommend?”

This kid thinks very highly of himself. He is always dissatisfied and resentful. Not to mention ordinary books, even some recognized good books, he would frown while reading.

“Does Wang Yian know?” Fang Yan asked.

Xia Tian thought: “That female writer from Shanghai? I’ve met her a few times before when I came to attend meetings and the Institute of Literature. Is this her work?”

In the summer, I was busy meeting the big girl.
I didn’t talk much with this person.

In fact, Xia Tian rarely gets involved in traditional literary circles. The only people in that circle who can be considered friends are Tie Sheng and Yu Hua. The others… are all in this party.

Xia Tian picked up the novel and read it – “Uncle’s Story”.

As he flipped through the pages, he asked, “What is it that you admire so much?”

When Fangyan heard this, his crow’s feet broke out in laughter: “Haha! It’s so interesting!”

This novel describes how a writer “Uncle” deceives a literary young woman and uses his suffering to lure this literary young woman who worships his uncle into his arms~
To put it in dialect, it is extremely sharp and the contempt is evident in the words!
However, what Fang Yan wants to say is: “Do you know who the prototype of the uncle in this novel is?”

“Who is it?!” Xia Tian became excited when he heard it. There is a prototype?

But it’s not surprising, fried noodles~
This kind of thing will happen in the future, it happened in the past, and of course it will happen now!

I’ve said it before, stay away from those who engage in art. Personal worship is even more unacceptable!

Let’s not talk about people far away, let’s just talk about the people in front of us!
In the eyes of the outside world, who of them is not a serious writer, film and television creator?
Don’t you know what you are like in private?
Of course, I am not a good person either.

His personal emotional problems have been exposed, so even if he is called a bald man, he deserves it.

If we judge others by ourselves, do we think they are nobler than ourselves?
At most, I am a little immoral in my personal issues, but I never pursue fame or fortune, and I don’t suppress or exclude others. But they, huh~
Fangyan said a name: “Zhang Xianliang, do you know him?”

A friend at the side quickly said: “We are not sure yet, it’s just everyone’s private guess~” He laughed as he said this, and almost said “There is only one truth”!

This kind of thing, we are all in the same circle, who doesn’t know who~
Fangyan didn’t care about others, he insisted it was Zhang Xianliang!
“‘Soul and Flesh’! ‘The Horse Herder’! That’s him~”

Xia Tian nodded slightly to show that he understood.

This person wrote poetry and was sent to the Northwest for reform, and it is said that he suffered a lot of hunger.

Later, he wrote “The Spirit and the Flesh”, which made him a comeback.

It seems that there are quite a few scandals related to him in later generations. Of course, it is hard to tell whether they are true or not, and I am too lazy to follow their lead.

However, he did build a film and television base in the northwest. This is not bad!
Xia Tian first took a bite of the big melon, then listened to these people talking about this and that, and also listened to the filming progress of “Desire”.

It is said that it will be released at the end of the year?

……

When Xia Tian returned home, Milan said to him, “Director Wang Fulin of Red Mansions called me a while ago. Can you call him back?”

“Did Director Wang tell me what the matter is?” Xia Tian asked as he picked up the phone and dialed.

“It’s about the Romance of the Three Kingdoms?”

“Three Kingdoms? Three Kingdoms is going to be filmed?!”

Xia Tian called and Director Wang answered the phone and talked to Xia Tian for more than ten minutes.

When I go out again in the summer, I’ll have to discuss this in person.

A few years ago, CCTV had the idea of ​​bringing “Romance of the Three Kingdoms” to the screen.

The first two of the four great classics are very effective, so don’t miss the remaining two as well.

The four great classics must be neat and tidy~
After several years of development, CCTV decided to shoot!
The chief director chosen was Wang Fulin.

At that time, Director Wang was filming in another place, and the leader of the station personally drove to find him and explained the situation.

At that time, Xia was still in Hong Kong, and now the Three Kingdoms crew has begun preparations.

I told Xia Tian at the beginning that he should play a character and let him choose the role first!

But plans are not as fast as changes – we won the Palme d’Or this summer!
Before, he was just a documentary director with great influence, but now he has suddenly become an “international director”!

This time, Director Wang approached Xia Tian to ask him if he was interested in being a scene director.

The scenes of the Three Kingdoms are too grand, spanning several decades, so they must be shot separately by different groups, otherwise it will take forever.
The so-called scene director is a director who is in charge of shooting a part of the plot of a film.

Originally, Xia Tian’s age and qualifications were not enough. But now, it is worth considering. However, Xia Tian thought about it and finally decided to just be an actor.

It’s the same as when we were filming Journey to the West. We had to travel all over the world, but I had to go to school.

Although I don’t have to go to school now, my time seems to be even tighter.

Being an actor is not a big problem, but if you want to be responsible for something independently, you will definitely have to spend most of your energy on the crew for one or two years, and I definitely can’t do that!
I have too many things to do, and I can no longer focus on art.
I’d better be an actor! I can hold a nominal position. After all, if I don’t hold a position, it will be difficult for Director Wang to do well. Maybe some people will say things like “exclude and suppress” me.

It’s better to be an actor. It’s so cool to be an actor~
But who should I play?
Zhuge Liang? He is the protagonist among protagonists. The time span is too long. The old Three Kingdoms took three or four years to shoot!
Besides, Mr. Tang, the handsome young man in the original time and space, performed really well, so there was no need for me to snatch this role.

I can’t play other “protagonists” like Liu Bei, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Cao Cao, etc. because it takes too long and my face is too young.

You have to play something young and handsome!

Zhao Yun!

This is pretty good. Whether I’m riding a horse or doing a fighting scene, it’s all very simple!
But Zhao Yun is also a leading actor!

The scenes would all go on until the end of the Shu Han Dynasty – if I were to play the role myself, I would definitely play the role from young to old, and would not change the actors.

Otherwise, what about Zhou Yu?

Jiangdong’s beautiful Zhou Lang is not bad either!

There is a mistake in the song, Zhou Lang Gu, and Xiao Qiao and He Qing~
When thinking of Zhou Yu, Xia Tian suddenly remembered a character who didn’t appear for a long time but was very glorious!

The Little Overlord of Jiangdong, Sun Ce Sun Bofu!
The Sun Ce in the original time and space was played by Park Cunxi, the successor of the People’s Art Theatre.

But he is too old!

Sun Ce was only 17 years old when he started to conquer the world, and he was only 26 years old when he died, but Park Cunxi looked like he was in his 30s when he appeared. He was older than his father Sun Jian~
Although the style of the Three Kingdoms appears a bit “mature”, yours is a bit too much. You don’t look young at all.

Is this the Little Overlord? That’s the Middle-aged Overlord!

How about him?

Well, I’ll discuss it with Director Wang and the rest of the directing team when the time comes.

When Xia Tian thought of Zhao Yun before, he remembered something.

The old Romance of the Three Kingdoms is good in every way except that the fighting scenes are a bit too rough. If they were at the level of Water Margin, it would be icing on the cake!
Or, you can raise the issue yourself and contact the martial arts instructors in Hong Kong to see if you can find someone who is good at horse fighting to help?

……

In the next few days, I received a new task at the station, and Xia Tian hung out with Director Wang, and was also responsible for some of the crew’s preparatory work.

Xia Tian often helped with this job when she was in the crew of Red Mansions.

However, the crew of the Three Kingdoms drama is much larger and cannot be compared.

Let me put it this way, it has been confirmed that the total investment in the Three Kingdoms crew will be 1.7 million!
This was 90 million in 1.7!

And at this time, the money is basically not diverted to other places or there is no water in it.

A real 1.7 million!
In later generations, the total investment of the New Three Kingdoms was only 1.6 million!
I don’t know how much money can be spent wisely.

We have already started preparing props, costumes and art design teams.

Xia Tian originally planned to take Da Chun with him, but Kuzi also heard the news and came to chat with Xia Tian for three consecutive days.

Xia Tian: “Oh, stop talking, I understand. If you want to go, pack your bags and we’ll leave in two days. The art department over there may need you…”

Pants was still asking: “Brother Tian’er, I heard from Dachun that he is going to play Taishi Ci?!”

“Don’t talk nonsense, the actors haven’t been decided yet!”

“Yes, yes, I understand, I understand.” Pants nodded repeatedly.

“Let’s see if the directors can arrange a role for you then.” Xia Tian said.

Xia Tian planned to play Sun Ce, although Director Wang wanted him to play Zhuge Liang or Zhao Yun, but Xia Tian really didn’t have the time.

Since Sun Ce had been chosen, Xia Tian brought Dachun with him to play Taishi Ci.

The two brothers can be considered to be cooperating~
Oh, by the way, he can also bring his wife Guo Xiaozhen along, as the Three Kingdoms crew also needs some actresses.

As for the pants, Xia Tian personally thinks that with such a skinny figure and such honor… he will probably play the role of one of the Ten Eunuchs or the Little Eunuch.

Of course, it’s not impossible to play some lonely and sarcastic literati~
In the Three Kingdoms, it is said that Zhang Song had a pointed head, a flat nose, a short stature, and exposed teeth… Do the pants look a bit like him?!

……

In fact, the crew’s preparation of costumes and props and the selection of actors were carried out at the same time.

Actors in many places in the country have been notified to come for auditions and test plays.

The director team also adopted Xia Tian’s suggestion.

First of all, horse fighting is indeed everyone’s weak point. It would be better to search among the public and Hong Kong to see if there are any talented people who can give some guidance.

After all, they are all great generals who have left their names in history. It would be more interesting to see them fighting, and it would also be pleasing to the audience.

Then, Xia Tian came up with a “dirty trick” – actor training!
Xia Tian: “We are all military commanders. How can we be energetic and vigorous without proper training?”

So, the actors come here to train and audition at the same time, and are selected by the directors to decide their roles.
