Chapter Five Hundred and Thirty Seven Movie Tale
"Mr. Hu's arrival really made me shine." Two days later, Qiao Feng welcomed the martial arts master in his fifties at the company.
"Mr. Qiao praised it, and I have to thank Mr. Qiao for watching it, so that I can participate in such a big production before retirement. "The one who came here is Hu Jinquan. The old man is actually not old, over fifty years old, but he is not in good health. He has basically been half retired in the past two years.
"Hello Mr. Hu." Xu Ke, who is also in the company, also stepped forward to say hello.
"Hello Xu Ke." Hu Jinquan is not as polite as Qiao Feng to Xu Ke, the absolute junior.
Not to mention the problems of the previous and younger generations, just saying that Xu Ke wanted to shoot his classic film Longmen Inn, the two of them had contacted each other many times and had become familiar with each other for a long time, so there was no need to be polite.
After being polite, Hu Jinquan talked about the important thing: "Mr. Qiao, I have read the script and communicated with Xu Ke. There is no problem with other aspects, but we have quite different styles in the shooting. Xu Ke...."
Speaking of this, Hu Jinquan stopped and chopped Xu Ke for a glance. Seeing that Xu Ke had nothing to say, he continued: "Xu Ke wants to make a political fable that is sharp and has amazing visuals, using the past to describe the present. However, I think Mr. Cha's Smiling, Proud Wanderer is the most chivalrous and suitable for making a romantic and quaint martial arts movie. If this cannot be solved, I am afraid I will not be able to participate in the filming of this film."
Hu Jinquan didn't go around in circles at all, and directly expressed his conflicts with Xu Ke.
Qiao Feng grinned at the same time. The two of them had a conflict, but now there were differences and conflicts before the shooting started. The original time and space were different and conflicts that broke out after the shooting began.
In the original time and space, when filming the Swordsman, it was the first time that Xu Ke, the new generation of martial arts film master, and Hu Jinquan, the old master of the previous generation of innovative martial arts film style, Hong Kong media unanimously believed that this was a perfect match and an absolute "film story".
As a result, there was a problem with the shooting. Less than half of the filming, the two of them had a quarrel. The reason was that Xu Ke.
What Xu Ke likes most is that he has the title of supervisor but works as a director, and interferes with how he directs. When filming in the Smiling and Proud Wanderer, Xu Ke has made his old habit again.
Since he had handed over the director to Hu Jinquan, he should listen to his orders, cooperate with all his strength, respect his creative ideas and director style. However, Xu Ke's identity as a producer interfered in Hu Jinquan's directorial work and constantly injected his creativity in "The Smiling and Proud Wanderer" into the film. Lao Hu thought it was a normal artistic controversy, and some of it was not without reason, so he didn't take it seriously. But after a long time, he realized that his director status was almost out of the blue. Xu Ke's comprehensive intervention in various fields of the film made Lao Hu useless.
Hu Jinquan couldn't accept it anymore. Originally, the old Hu was an old senior, so he had to take the face. How could Xu Ke bear it? Another thing, the one who was invited by Xu Ke at the beginning, but in the end, he actually cut off a big director to the point where he could only be an executive director.
If Xu Ke had just asked someone to be the executive director at the beginning, then he would at least know whether he would come or not. But when Xu Ke came to him, he would be the director. Hong Kong and the United States were the ones with the greatest power and the final editing rights.
As a result, the director Hu Jinquan had no right to film. Hu Jinquan wanted to fight with Xu Ke, but found that he had no choice but to do anything, and no one listened to what he said.
Because when filming the Smiling and Proud Wanderer, the main creators of the crew were basically from Xu Ke's studio, while Hu Jinquan was alone. When Hu Jinquan saw that this was not even the executive director, he still wanted to have the final editing rights, and he had nothing to do with his face, so how could he continue to cooperate? So, the filming work was not over, and Hu Jinquan left the crew in a dim manner.
Now, because Qiao Feng came up with the script, Qiao Feng was investing in the investment, so when Xu Ke talked to Hu Jinquan, the two of them were completely partners, so they talked more. They exchanged their own ideas well, and did not let the conflicts be hidden until the film started filming.
"Mr. Hu is worried, and Xu Ke has also mentioned your differences. I think your ideas are good. I think this is how I think. Mr. Hu is more concerned about the art, costume design, set, and camera language of the movie. Then in terms of action style, we tend to Xu Ke's idea, with a sharper style and a more amazing visual. Nowadays, the audience likes to watch this. As for the plot, it is based on my script. The two great directors shoot together, and differences are definitely indispensable. Let's try to seek common ground while reserving differences. "After pondering for a while, Qiao Feng said a compromise solution.
Looking for common ground while reserving differences, let’s discuss and compromise. Xu Ke is very awesome in terms of camera language, but I have to say that Hu Jinquan is even more awesome, especially in terms of the choice of set and big vision, that is really awesome.
In the original time and space, many shots of Hu Jinquan's shots were later pushed to be reshooted by Xu Ke, but the theme, style and visual style of the film are all based on the appearance set by Hu Jinquan. Among them, the shapes of the Miao characters and the clothing designs of the Ming Dynasty are completely preserved.
There are also several sets seen in the big vision, which are all styles designated by Hu Jinquan, and Xu Ke didn't move at all.
This movie will definitely lose its aesthetics without Hu Jinquan's lens. To be precise.
This Swordsman is based on the original martial arts novel written by Jin Yong, adding Hu Jinquan's story of the East Factory eunuch framing Zhongliang. At the same time, it also features Xu Keshi's sarcastic political criticism and Chen Xiaodong's dazzling martial arts design scenes, which creates the classics of Swordsman in the original time and space.
Qiao Feng didn't want his Smiling Proud Wanderer to lose his color than the original time and space, so he had to make it clear in advance, so that Hu Jinquan and Xu Ke were mentally prepared to let these two martial arts masters integrate all their talents. In addition, Cheng Xiaodong and Li Lianjie, the Kung Fu emperor who is far more handsome than Xu Guanjie, came to shoot a Smiling Proud Wanderer who is more classic than the original time and space.
After Qiao Feng finished speaking, Hu Jinquan did not speak, but thought about it and looked at Xu Ke. Xu is a member of Qiao Feng's company. If Xu may agree with Qiao Feng's suggestion, Hu Jinquan would not have any objection, but if Xu Ke did not agree, Hu Jinquan would never participate in this shooting.
Because, in terms of closeness and alienation, Xu Ke’s opinions are definitely more important than his own. If there is a disagreement and cannot be resolved, it is very likely that he will submit to Xu Ke’s opinions, which Hu Jinquan will definitely not accept.
"I have no problem. It has always been my wish to be able to cooperate with Mr. Hu." Xu Ke said with his lips pursed.
"I wish us a happy cooperation." Hu Jinquan said with a smile on his face.
