Courtyard: My wife is Wen Li

There is just one problem, and that is word-of-mouth. If major domestic directors fail one after another, what will the Chinese people think of domestic films?

In fact, there is a very interesting phenomenon in movies and TV series, that is, no matter which country it is, it is more demanding on its own country's film and television works. Because they are familiar with and understand their own culture, any flaws in them will be discovered.

When watching foreign film and television works, because I don’t understand them well, I generally can’t tell what the other person’s acting skills are like, so I am relatively more tolerant.

This is true for lines. After all, outsiders can't tell whether a line fits the scene, but people on the inside can feel it as soon as they hear it.

Under such circumstances, it is very important to cultivate your own territory deeply, and understanding your own audience is even more important.

Not this audience?

Is this still human language?

There are too many things like losing his own territory and forcibly feeding Xiang. This is why He Yuzhu is unwilling to contact the mainland entertainment industry. Of course, these guys have excluded him for the sake of profit before, so why should he get involved?

Now you want to get together?

What are you thinking about?

With the success of the two "The Legend of Yue Fei", the third one should be good too. He Yuzhu is planning to shoot a new theme, and this time he chose Jin Yiwei.

Of course, it is not a copy of the later generations of Jinyiwei and Xiuchundao. In his opinion, the plots of both films are still a bit weak.

To put it bluntly, is that the Jin Yiwei who was photographed?

That was a eunuch!

The majesty of the emperor's personal army was not captured at all, and what was captured in the film was only the majesty in the eyes of the lower class, which was reduced when meeting the eunuchs.

Is this still a Jinyiwei?

Therefore, He Yuzhu plans to shoot three movies this time, but he will start shooting from the time when Jin Yiwei is at his most prosperous, so that the majesty of the emperor's personal army can be revealed.

The Jin Yiwei who is feared by all officials!

In addition, Jinyiwei is still an intelligence agency. This also needs to be brought into play. Jinyi is not just a detective. At the same time, external intelligence also needs to be brought into play.

Adapt it based on history and select the major events. It is certain that major events in the Ming Dynasty are inseparable from Jin Yiwei, but they will not become the focus of history, which leaves a lot of room for adaptation.

Especially since there are not many historical records, there are many things that can be adapted, and there is absolutely enough room for development.

He Yuzhu did not continue to shoot historical heroes because of the success of "The Legend of Yue Fei". This can be done slowly, changing the subject and shooting three more movies. James Wan has trained him, so who will be the next director?

If he doesn't want to find a director in China, he can only look for one outside. There are only a few Chinese directors, so he can only look for one on Hong Kong Island.

He does have a lot of directors under him, but they are all shooting TV series. If he really shoots movies, he doesn't have the confidence.

The only option was to find Mr. Xu, so He Yuzhu asked someone from ATV to contact Mr. Xu and invite him to He Yuan.

"Director Xu, I have long admired your name!" He Yuzhu was very enthusiastic.

Old Monster Xu was a little flattered, "I don't dare to take it seriously. I am the one who has admired Mr. He for a long time."

He Yuzhu has a film company in Hollywood, and it is a big company. This is a huge temptation for filmmakers. Who doesn't want to cooperate with him?

However, before, people in the entertainment industry didn't pay attention to them at all, and even those female stars were never seen.

Now that he was invited, he was indeed flattered, "I wonder what Mr. He's orders are?"

"Of course I'm looking for you to make a movie." He Yuzhu said: "I know you have your own company, and you have to consider whether you are willing to invest. There is no problem in giving you some shares."

"..." Old Monster Xu felt like he was hit by a pie falling from the sky, "I don't know what kind of movie it is."

"That's it..." He Yuzhu recounted his thoughts. When Old Monster Xu heard this, he really had something to say!

He Yuzhu then said: "It will be released globally, so these factors must be taken into consideration in the writing and filming of the script, and not too much cultural connotation should be added."

"The main thing is to reflect the functions of Jinyiwei, and it has changed from strong to weak."

"You are an expert in action, but you can also go to James Wan to learn from him."

Old Monster Xu nodded slightly and then asked: "What about actors?"

"Looking for actors from ATV!" He Yuzhu said: "I have so many people, do I still need to praise others?"

"Understood." Old Monster Xu nodded, sighing in his heart for the stars in Hong Kong Island, no chance!

Of course, the actors contracted by ATV are also stars in Hong Kong, but their celebrity status was not big before, but now one Yue Fei has made some of them take off.

But he didn’t fly too far, so he stayed at ATV. Those big movie stars were all very greedy, but it was a pity that ATV didn’t accept them.

Is it because they signed up to film a movie or drama?

How is the remuneration calculated?

Some people were even very dissatisfied and threatened not to let He Yuzhu's film win the Academy Award, but the film produced by He Yuzhu was not sent for selection at all.

He Yuzhu doesn't care about awards at all. It doesn't improve his boss's worth anyway. The copyrights are all mine, so I just won't go.

The reason why Mr. Xu was allowed to invest this time was because he was not one of his contracted directors. This time, he still signed a three-film director contract at once, giving him 15% of the investment share for each film.

However, he does not own the copyright, which is good. After all, it is a movie released globally, and the box office will not be too low.

Of course, the key is the quality and expression of the film, which is the most important.

Starting from the script, if He Yuzhu is not satisfied with the script, he will still not be able to film.

It was still ATV's screenwriters who gathered together, then began to investigate the information, then selected key events, and then wrote.

The most suitable ones are several major cases in the early Ming Dynasty, in which Jin Yiwei was involved. This is a good subject for adaptation. You don’t need to use all of them. You can choose one of them as the central event, and then start adapting around it.

This is the content of the first part, from the establishment of Jinyiwei to its peak period, using major cases in the early Ming Dynasty to show the peak power of Jinyiwei.

The second part turned to decline because the Jin Yiwei had too much power, or the emperor had some ideas.

The last one can only intimidate ordinary people, and even has a lower status than eunuchs!

Especially when the Ming Dynasty fell, the emperor's troops who originally defended the emperor were constantly weakened by suppression and no longer had the strength they had in the early Ming Dynasty. When the emperor hanged himself, there were no emperor's troops around him.
